CHRISTINE WOLK. >> GOOD EVENING, I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT MITCH CHARTER. CAME TO SPEAK WITH YOU A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH THE CLASSROOM MODULAR ON THE MAIN CAMPUS TO ADEQUATELY IMPLEMENT THE TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN.

WE HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING WITH THE DISTRICT PERSONNEL WITH PROP 39 APPLICATION IN THE FINAL OFFER PROVIDED BY THE DISTRICT, THE MAP AND SPREADSHEET ONLY IDENTIFIES 19 CLASSROOMS, HOWEVER THE DISTRICT IS FOR 21 CLASSROOMS FOR TEACHING STATION SPACE. ADDITIONALLY, THE DISTRICT APPEARS TO HAVE ALLOCATED ONE ADDITIONAL PORTABLE CLASSROOM AS PART OF THE DISTRICT SPACE THAT WOULD INSTALL AN EXPENSE.

THIS WOULD ONLY RING THE ALLOCATION OF THE SPACE. THE DOUBLE CLASSROOM PORTABLE IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE DISTRICT ALLOCATION OF SPACE IS REASONABLY EQUIVALENT AND MAKE SURE IT IS ABLE TO TAKE ON THE COST OF THIS INSTALLATION. WE WERE TOLD A COUPLE OF THINGS. THIS IS ALL THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED AND SECOND, THAT THE STUDENTS THAT RESIDE IN THE CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THIS AREA ARE STUDENTS. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THOSE STUDENTS BELONG TO NEITHER WILL THEY ACTUALLY ENROLL. I WILL REMIND YOU WHEN THE CAMPUS WAS CLOSED BY THE DISTRICT. THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD AN AGING POPULATION AND MEADOWS HAD DECLINING ENROLLMENT. OUR CHARTER IS SPECIFIC WITH THE FORMER BOUNDARIES SET SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD COULD HAVE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS. SINCE THE INTRODUCTION 15 YEARS AGO, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE FORMER COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED AND MANY OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENTS ACTUALLY MOVE THERE FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE ALREADY. THIS ALSO BENEFITS THE DISTRICT AS THE STUDENTS TYPICALLY MATRICULATE BACK TO THE DISTRICT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL. ALWAYS NEGOTIATED WITH THE DISTRICT IN GOOD FAITH AND WOULD ENJOY OUR PARTNERSHIP. IN FACT, THE FESTIVAL THAT YOU ENJOYED LAST WEEK WAS PRODUCED BY THE MUSIC DIRECTOR. MANY OF THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVE VISITED OUR CAMPUS WITH SOME UNIQUE MISSIONS WE HAVE MADE INCLUDING THE MULTIMEDIA BOOTH. THIS IS WHAT CHARTERS ARE INTENDED TO BE. INNOVATIVE INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING. BEST PRACTICES WITH OTHERS. WE APPRECIATE THE ABILITY OF TO COLLABORATE WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE DISTRICT AND WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT BEST PRACTICES WE CAN LEARN AND SHARE WITH THEM AS WE INTRODUCED TO TRANSITIONAL

KINDERGARTEN. >> ONE CLICK SECOND.

>> PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.

>> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS KRISTEN WELKER, I AM READING THIS LETTER ON BEHALF OF CARRIE GRABER. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY VIEWS AND EFFORT TO EXPLAIN WHY IT BENEFITS ALL OF US TO ALLOW BATES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THOUGH I AM NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS HUMAN PERSON DUE TO A PRIOR COMMITMENT I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS CHANCE TO SHARE MY

[00:15:01]

OUTSTANDING READINESS TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGES OF MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTRIBUTE WITH THE ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC SUCCESSES. WHEN FAMILIES MOVE INTO THE FOOTPRINT, FAMILIES MOVING TO THE DISTRICT BUT . STUDENTS BECOME DISTRICT STUDENTS IN THIS INFLUX OF STUDENTS INTO THE DISTRICT IS A SIGNIFICANT ASSET PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF DECLINING ENROLLMENT. AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER THE FACTS AND SUPPORT OUR REQUEST WITH A TWO CLASSROOM PORTABLE ON THE CAMPUS FULLY FUNDED BY OUR SCHOOL. WHILE WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE OFFER TO BRING ON ONE CLASSROOM, THE FINANCIAL PLAN IS ALLEVIATED WITH THE ADDITION OF THE SECOND CLASSROOM. THIS EXPANSION NOT ONLY BENEFITS KIDS BUT CUSD. IT IS A WIN WIN FOR BOTH. THE TIKI OPENINGS ENCOURAGES MORE FAMILIES TO OPEN INTO THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION PROVIDED BY MAIDS AND CONTINUED BY THE DISTRICT. IS A 14 YEAR RESIDENT AND TEAM MEMBER, I AM PLEASED WITH THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE CULTIVATED.

>> THANK YOU. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM 2 POINT

[00:20:01]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

WELCOME . MANY, MANY THINGS HAPPEN IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE WE WERE TOGETHER. I ATTENDED THE DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION COMMITTEE. I HEARD AN UPDATE ON THE ENROLLMENT THAT WE CONTINUE TO ACHIEVE. THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TREMENDOUS CARE ATTENDING TO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE 50-50 BALANCE OF SPANISH DOMINANT AND ENGLISH DOMINANT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. I HEARD ABOUT EFFORTS THAT THE ACADEMY IS MAKING TO REACH OUT AND EXPAND THE CIRCLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD INCLUDING WHEN THE ACADEMY HOLDS EVENTS LIKE LAST WEEK WITH THE CARNIVAL. COUNTY FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO INVITE ANOTHER FAMILY WHO IS NOT PRESENT AND THAT SEEMS TO BE A SUCCESSFUL AND PRAISEWORTHY ENDEAVOR. I ATTENDED THE DANCE CONCERT. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. I HOPE THAT IF YOU WANTED TO ATTEND, YOU GOT A CHANCE BECAUSE THE TICKETS WENT VERY, VERY QUICKLY. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL ON NEXT WEEK WITH THE CHOIRS WITH THE VARIOUS CLUSTERS FOUR NIGHTS OF SPECTACULAR MUSIC AND TREMENDOUS PRIDE AND TREMENDOUS GRATITUDE FOR ALL OF THE MUSIC EDUCATORS WHO WORK SO HARD IN THE VOLUNTEERS YOU PUT ON THE TREMENDOUS PROGRAM THAT IS WITHOUT ANY. IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. LAST WEEK WAS ALSO A WEEK AND I WAS INCREDIBLY HONORED TO DO A COUPLE OF ASSEMBLY PRESENTATIONS ON FRIDAY. THE ONE AT MADERA ON THURSDAY WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT P 22, THE KITTEN THAT WAS WORN IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS AND IS A CHILD OF THE PLACE THAT WE CALL HOME. IN THE WORK IN HIS HONOR THAT WE ARE DOING TO BUILD A WILDLIFE CROSSING RIGHT HERE IN OUR VALLEY. AND THEN FINALLY, YESTERDAY, THE KIDS THAT I SAW LAST THURSDAY JOINED ME AT THE IN PROGRESS CONSTRUCTION SITE CROSSING FOR THE FIRST EVER WILL FIELD TRIP AT THAT LOCATION AND I WAS VERY VERY PROUD AND HAPPY TO MEET THEM THERE. THAT IS IT FOR ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO MAY. WELCOME TO ASIAN-AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER HAIR TOO MUCH AND TO JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH. THOSE PEOPLE ARE HONORED. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS THAT WE HONORED EARLIER THAT MR. MERCER DESCRIBED TO US.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE PEOPLE WITH THEIR INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENTS. ON THE 18TH A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I ATTENDED THE STEAM NIGHT. IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO HAVE KIDS FIRST GRADE THROUGH FIFTH GRADE NOT ONLY HAVE CONDUCTED THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN REGULAR EXPERIMENTS WITH THE BOARD BUT TO DESCRIBE IT AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE FINDINGS WERE TO TOTAL STRANGERS. THEY FOUND MYSELF STRANGER THAN MOST. BUT IT WAS INCREDIBLE LISTENING TO THESE KIDS GO THROUGH THEIR PROCESS AND EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. IT WAS JUST A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

LIKE I SAID, NOT ONLY FOR THE SCIENCE, BUT THE COMMUNICATION TO THAT WAS THE WONDERFUL THING. THERE WERE SEVERAL STUDENTS THAT WERE DEMONSTRATING THAT STUDENTS COULD GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL. THEY WERE ABOUT TO GO TO A NATIONAL COMPETITION. I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE PROJECT. I UNDERSTOOD A FEW WORDS. THE REST I MADE WITH A LOT OF

[00:25:01]

THE PARENTS THAT WERE THERE TO CHEER THEM ON. THE WESTLAKE KIDS FROM THE BLEACHERS. USUALLY IT IS ON THE KIDS THAT ARE ON THE FIELD THAT ARE IN THE BLEACHERS CHEERING THE ATHLETES ON HERE THIS WAS A REVERSAL OF THAT AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE THEIR EXCITEMENT AND THREE GAMES

GOING ON AT ONCE. >> I HAVE TO COMMEND MR. BRAND HAM FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PROGRAM. SHE MUST'VE HAD EYES IN SIX DIFFERENT PLACES EVER HAD BECAUSE SHE COULD FOLLOW EVERYTHING AND IT WAS AMAZING TO HEAR THAT. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE AND ALL OF THE COACHES AND PARTICIPANTS, LIKE I SAID, THE GENERAL ED KIDS AND THE KIDS INVOLVED. IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE THAT CAMARADERIE. CONGRATULATIONS GOES TO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED IN OUR MUSIC PROGRAM AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. WE HAVE BEEN NAMED THE BEST COMMUNITY IN THIS LOCATION. WE HAVE BEEN NAMED A BEST COMMUNITY IN MUSIC EDUCATION BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC MARKETING.

SPECIAL HONORS GO TO CORAL STRINGS AND BAND DIRECTOR FOR OUR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. THANK YOU TO OUR DIRECTOR OF POOR PERFORMING ARTS, BRIAN PETERS. THE DIRECTORS WHO ORGANIZED IT AND TOOK ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE THE EVENT. TO SEE THAT IN THE EXPRESSIONS OF THE KIDS AS THEY WALKED ON STAGE AND WERE IN AWE BY THE FACT THAT THERE WERE THREE LAYERS OF SEATS AND THEY WERE LEAVING AFTER THEIR PARENTS AND THE PARENTS WERE CALLING DOWN TO THEM IT WAS QUITE AN AMAZING THING. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CS E A NEW PRESIDENT, MARCO MALDONADO. CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES IN YOUR NEW POSITION. THAT NOMINATION MEETING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ALLUDED TO. I HEARD NAIMA KAHL INVITE EVERYONE TO BE THERE. YOU REALLY SHOULD GO TO ONE OF THOSE. THE KIDS ARE SUPER INCREDIBLE. TO SEE THE ISSUES THAT THEY BRING TO THE MEETING OF CONCERN TO ALL OF THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS. THEY ARE NATURAL LEADERS. IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE TO LISTEN TO THEM. I KNOW THAT WILL CONTINUE FURTHER. FORGOTTEN IT HERE. LAST NIGHT I WENT TO WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL AND SAW THE DEPARTMENT AWARD WINNERS GET THEIR AWARDS. AGAIN, IT IS INCREDIBLE TO HEAR NOT ONLY WHAT THE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE THEIR AWARDS DO IN THE CLASSROOMS, BUT THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BUILD WITH THEIR TEACHERS TO FURTHER ON THE MENTORSHIP. IT IS JUST A FASCINATING, REWARDING, PRESENTATION TO SEE ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT GOT THEIR AWARDS AND WE WISH THEM ALL THE BEST OF LUCK. GOING BACK TO THE STUDENT MEETING. GREAT PRESENTATIONS WITH OUR NUTRITION PROGRAM AND ASKING FOR A COMMITTEE OF STUDENTS. IF ANY OF YOU ARE WATCHING THE AUDIENCE, WHATEVER, IF YOU HAVE STUDENTS THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT, ASKING FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT. JUST HIGH SCHOOL? EXCUSE ME. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO JOIN THE COMMITTEE TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS AND THE DECISIONS.

AGAIN, FINALLY, CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE FROM WESTLAKE HIGH

FROM LAST NIGHT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> TRUSTEE POWELL? >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WESTLAKE

[00:30:02]

I'M NOT GOING TO LIST THEM ALL. THEY HAVE ENLISTED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ACKNOWLEDGING ALL OF THESE THROUGHOUT THE MONTH. HERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I ALSO ATTENDED THE STEAM FAMILY NIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE WERE A PANEL ON THIS EVENT. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY A GREAT NIGHT. IT WAS A GREAT DISPLAY OF STUDENT INQUIRY AND RENOVATION. AS WAS SAID, THEY WERE SO GREAT AT TALKING THROUGH THE RESEARCH.

IT WAS A RESEARCH PROJECT OR THE INVENTION. I LOVE SEEING THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, AS WELL. INTO THE WAS AT A THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL, YOU ALL WERE GREAT. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, IT IS A TOUGH SHOW. SONDHEIM IS AMAZING, THERE IS NO WAY I WAS MISSING THE SHOW. EVERYTHING FROM THE LIVE ORCHESTRA, WHICH WAS MOSTLY STUDENTS, TO THE ACTORS, TO THE COSTUMES AND LIGHTS AND SOUNDS WAS AMAZING. I ATTENDED IT LAST WEEK. IT WAS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. NO, WE ARE 10 YEARS IN YET, THERE IS SO MUCH EXCITEMENT TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THESE PROJECTS GOING ON AT CAMPUSES. IT WAS REALLY FUN TO FEEL THAT AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE MEETING WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THEN JUST THAT EXCITEMENT THAT EVERYBODY HAS.

SO, TO BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH WHAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING THIS SUMMER. A PAVILION OFF OF THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM AND A NEW MUSIC ROOM. SO, REALLY EXCITING. OF COURSE, AS MENTIONED, MORE DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL CONCERTS TO ATTEND.

THIS TIME THE COURSE. THE FINAL ASSESSMENT CUT THE EXTREME JOY OF WATCHING THE TRUSTEES PERFORM. SHE MADE AN AMAZING AARON BREWER. I AM NOT SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE I AM BIASED, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE OUR FELLOW TRUSTEE. SO, CONGRATULATIONS. I ATTENDED THE EVENT ON FRIDAY THAT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. I WAS REALLY PLEASED I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND AND I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED THE PERFORMANCES BY THE STUDENTS AND DANCERS. AS A FORMER PARENT AND PRESIDENT, I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO PUTTING ON AN EVENT LIKE THAT. CONGRATULATIONS AND IT LOOKED LIKE EVERYBODY WAS HAVING A INTESTATE TIME. I JUST WANTED TO CHIME IN AND SHARE HOW IMPRESSED I AM WITH THE STUDENTS. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE STUDENTS HAD THEIR FIRST MEETING. THEY ARE JUST COMING ON NEW ONTO THIS COMMITTEE AND THE WILLINGNESS OF SO MANY OF THEM TO STEP UP IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS FOR THE ONES WILLING TO SPEAK OUT ON POTENTIALLY SENSITIVE OR CHALLENGING TOPICS INCLUDING ISSUES OF BIGOTRY AND RACISM AND THEY ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT INCLUDING THEIR OWN VOICES. IT IS REALLY, REALLY AMAZING TO WATCH THOSE MEETINGS. SO,, KEEP IT GOING, STUDENTS. RESIDENT GOLDBERG MAY SAY MORE ABOUT THIS. BUT WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE WELLNESS CENTER WITH JEFF CORRELL. KEY STAFF WAS THERE.

EMILY DID A GREAT JOB OF SHARING THE REPORTS ON THE WELLNESS CENTER IS. OF COURSE, AT WESTLAKE, THEY ARE REALLY SHARING THOSE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF TRAGEDY THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY THAT COMMUNITY AND NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. REALLY GIVE CREDENCE TO WHY PROGRAMMING IS NEEDED IN TIMES OF CRISIS. SO, THANK YOU TO JENKINS AND CHAMBERLAIN. FOR REALLY SHOWING IT OFF. I WAS HAPPY TO BE THERE. FINALLY, AS TRUSTEES, WE RECEIVED EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS ON THESE ISSUES. ONCE IN A WHILE WE GET COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS. WE ALSO GET NOTIFICATIONS SOMETIMES WHEN TEACHERS AND STAFF ABOUT PROGRAM SUCCESS AND STUDENT SUCCESS. I JUST REALLY WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE GETTING THOSE COMMUNICATIONS THIS WEEK WE HEARD FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL VISUAL ARTS TEAM AND TEACHERS WITH THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THEIR STUDENTS AND RECENT COMPETITIONS. BETTER YET, THEY ALSO INCLUDED ALL OF THE ARTWORK AND PHOTOGRAPHY. BUT, PART OF THOSE COMPETITIONS. SO, I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT THEY MADE THAT EFFORT TO SHARE THIS WITH US. OBVIOUSLY WE CANNOT CAPTURE EVERYTHING LIVE AND WE CANNOT CAPTURE EVERYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO WE LOVE GETTING THOSE TYPES OF EMAILS.

OF COURSE, AS WE CELEBRATE THESE TYPES OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS, WE HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR EDUCATORS FOR ALL THEY DO TO PUT INTO OUR STUDENTS. NEXT WEEK WE

[00:35:03]

>> THANK YOU. >> SYLVESTER?

>> AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED A FEW TIMES, A NUMBER OF RESOLUTIONS MEETING RECOGNIZING MAY FOR VARIOUS GROUPS. WE ARE SEEING SOME OF THAT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST EFFECT FROM MANY. IT IS NICE TO SEE THAT IT IS ALREADY STARTING. AS IS BEEN MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL LAST WEEK, FOUR NIGHTS OF MUSIC WAS UNBELIEVABLE. SPECTACULAR. I LOVE SEEING ALL OF THE KIDS ON STAGE FROM THE SMALLEST KINDERGARTNER BUT THE OLDEST SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I AM SO IMPRESSED BY THE TALENT WE HAVE HERE IN THE VALLEY. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THE DISTRICT AND THE SPORT HAS PRIORITIZED MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS EDUCATION TO THESE EVENTS, THERE ARE SO MANY MOVING PARTS.

JUST WATCHING THE KIDS GO FROM THE STAGE TO THE AUDIENCE.

THESE ARE THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS. BACK ON THE STAGE IS JUST SOMETHING TO SEE. I MEAN, IT IS LIKE CLOCKWORK. I NEED TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED. THE SCHOOL FOUNDATION, THE PARK DISTRICT.

I WANT TO ECHO THE UNIFIED SOCCER GAME WAS REALLY POSSIBLE IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY. IT WAS SPECTACULAR. AGAIN, APPRECIATIVE OF ALL OF THE HANDS IT TAKES TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS.

[B. Adjournment]

[A. Business Services - Receipt of the Final Report of Sale for Election of 2014 General Obligation Bonds, Series E]

MAY HAVE. >> ALL RIGHT. HOLD ON. NOW IT

[00:45:05]

WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? THE MOVEMENT OF THE AND WITH PROMOTES INVESTOR PARTICIPATION. IT TRANSLATES TO INVESTORS, THIS IS A LOW ENVIRONMENT. THERE FOR, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO PARTICIPATE IN A BOND SALE. THIS IS AN INDICATION OF VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE NEXT SLIDE IS ABOUT THE SECOND REPORT WHICH IS THE DISTRICTS CREDIT RATING.

THE DISTRICT IS VERY WELL REPRESENTED BY THE ADMINISTRATION THAT WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A VERY HIGH CREDIT RATING FROM 12 MAJOR CREDIT UNION AGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES. TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU, EVERY TIME A CREDIT AGENCY EVALUATES A SCHOOL DISTRICT BOND ISSUE, THERE ARE 11 POTENTIAL OUTCOMES. THOSE OUTCOMES CAN BE GROUPED INTO THREE MAJOR CATEGORIES. ONE IS A HIGH CREDIT RATING. THE SECOND IS A MIDDLE CREDIT RATING. AND THEN A LOW CREDIT RATING. OUR CREDIT RATING IS THE OUTGOING RECEIPTS SIT COMFORTABLY IN THE HIGH CREDIT RATING. WHY THAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THE HIGHER THE CREDIT RATING, THE GREATER CHANCE THAT WE WILL GET MORE FAVORITE OF INTEREST RATES ON OUR BONDS AND INVESTORS TO COMPETE TO BUY THE BONDS. ONE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO THE COMMITTEE. HIGH INTEREST LEVELS AND HIGH PROPERTY LEVELS. THE OTHER TWO IS THE WAY THAT THE DISTRICT IS BEING MANAGED. IT IS BEING MANAGED FINANCIALLY WELL WITH RESPONSIBLE BUDGETING METHODS AND THE FUND BALANCES THAT ARE MAINTAINED AT A VERY ACCURATE LEVEL FOR THIS CREDIT RATING.

THE OTHER ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS UNIQUE TO US. THE CREDIT RATING IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT OUR BOND PLANNED HAS A VERY SHORT REPAYMENT PLAN. THAT IS FAVORABLE BECAUSE THE TYPICAL STILL -- COOL DISTRICT BOND HAS A 25 TWO 30 YEAR REPAYMENT PERIOD. IF YOU RECALL, 15 YEAR REPAYMENT PERIOD. THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST YOU ARE GETTING BACK TO INVESTORS. VERY SIMILAR TO A MORTGAGE. NOW, THE COMBINATION OF THIS ENVIRONMENT AND THE HIGH CREDIT RATING RESULTING WITH A VERY ROBUST DEMAND FROM

[00:50:01]

THEN YOU SEE SOME SPECIALTY INVESTMENT HOUSES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. THAT IS A FIRM BASED IN ORANGE COUNTY. THIS DEMAND HAS A VERY LOW INTEREST RATE. I WILL HIGHLIGHT THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS IN THE NEXT LIFE HERE. WITH THE NUMERICAL SUMMARIES ABOUT THE BOND ISSUE. I WILL FOCUS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE, THESE ARE THE FIVE KEY COMPONENTS THAT I LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT. FIRST IS THAT WE CAN SELL ALL THE $29.5 MILLION BONDS WITHOUT DUE. WE SOLD THEM TRADITIONAL CURRENT INTEREST BONDS AND CAPITAL INTEREST BONDS AS PLANNED. THE THIRD POINT HERE, 3.8 PERCENT. THAT IS THE APR ON OUR BOND ISSUE.

INTERESTING TO NOTE AS IF WE PLANNED, THE PLAN THAT WE USED WAS A 4% INTEREST RATE. THEY EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. CAME IN BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD PLANS FOR THE FOURTH ONE TO GET IS REMINDING IT IS A VERY SHORT REPAYMENT. THE BONES ARE REPAID WITHIN THE 15 YEAR TARGETED TIMEFRAME, WHICH WE SET OUT TO DO. THE LAST ONE IS INTEREST RATE. IF YOU REMEMBER A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SET A STANDARD REPAYMENT RATIO FOR THE BOND LIKE OURS. REPAYMENT RATIO WAS FOUR TO ONE. HOW TO COMPUTE THAT IS TAKE THE BOND AMOUNT AND ADD THE TOTAL INTEREST WE PAY ON THAT BOND AMOUNT AND DIVIDE THAT BY -- WHEN WE COMPUTE THAT CALCULATION ON THE BOND ISSUE, A REPAYMENT ISSUE OF 1.5, WHICH IS WELL BELOW THE RATIO SET BY THE STATE. NOW, STAYING ON THIS 4-1 PENALTY RATIO IS NOT ONLY A DEMONSTRATION OF SUCCESS BY WATSON, BUT GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC FUNDS. SO, I WILL NOT GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDES, THERE ARE A LOT OF NUMBERS THERE. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK AT IS THE SECOND COLUMN FROM THE LEFT, DEEP CREDIT TO TAXPAYERS.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING SET OF FIGURES. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS WHERE ALL OF THE MONEY WENT. 29.5 MILLION DOLLARS IN BONDS.

YOU SEE THAT SECOND LINE ITEM QUESTION THE PREMIUM RECEIVED FROM INVESTORS WITH TAXPAYERS IN THE AMOUNT OF 1.1 MILLION GOOD WHAT IS THAT? BECAUSE OF OUR HIGH CREDIT RATING, INVESTORS ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF BONDS WE OFFER FOR SALE. FOR INSTANCE, EVERY DOLLAR OF BONDS WE OFFER FOR SALE, PAY OFF THE EXTRA THREE CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF BONDS WE OFFER FOR SALE. WE COLLECTED ALL OF THE INVESTORS. A SEPARATE ACCOUNT FROM THE COUNTY WITH THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE COUNTY. BUT THEY WILL DO IS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO CAPITALIZE ON THE PROPERTY TAX BILLS, WE NEED TO LEVY THE TAX FOR $32.70. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY HAVE SITTING ASIDE ON THE COUNTY AND GIVE A CREDIT ON THE TAX BILL.

INSTEAD OF THAT 3270, THE ACTUAL TAX RATES OF THE COMMUNITY MIGHT BE $31 OR $30 AND CHANGE. DEPENDING ON HOW THIS GROWTH PERFORMS. SO, THAT IS THAT. AFTER THAT, WE PAY THE TRANSACTION COST. SO WHILE THERE IS ONLY ONE YEAR, THERE ARE A DOZEN OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT WORK AS A TEAM TO MAKE THIS BOND A SUCCESS. SO, WE PAY COMMISSION TO ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT SOLD THE DISTRICTS BONDS. WE PAY FOR THE COST OF PREPARING LEGAL DOCUMENTS. WE BOUGHT THE RESOLUTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT ALLOWED US TO MARKET AND PAY FOR ALL THOSE COSTS PAYING FOR THE CREDIT RATING AND THE OTHER COSTS RELATING TO THE BOND ISSUES. AFTER ALL OF THAT IS PAID, THE REMAINDER IS DEPOSITED IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THAT MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO SPEND ON THE

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. IT REALLY HELPED ME. I'M SURE IT HELPED EVERYBODY ELSE UP HERE TOO.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

>> I AM OVERWHELMED WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND HOW IT WAS PRESENTED. YOU WERE HERE TODAY. YOU WERE OUT HERE LAST WEEK WITH THE MEETING. SO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

>> THANK YOU. >> MY PLEASURE.

>> I DO NEED TO LET HIM KNOW, HE IS THE ONE WHO SITS IN FRONT OF THESE GROUPS AND DOES THE PRESENTATIONS WITH DISTRICT FINANCES. SO, WE COULD NOT GET THE UPGRADE WITHOUT HIS WORK IN THE DECISION-MAKING THAT HE MAKES OUT OF HIS OFFICE. THE ABILITY TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION IN A TRUSTED MANNER. THE PRESENTATIONS WITH HIM IN YEARS PAST HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT. I KNOW THAT THIS LAST GO-ROUND IS JUST AS WELL.

SO, BIG SHOUT OUT TO HIM AND HIS TEAM ON BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WHERE WE STAND AS A FINANCIAL UNITS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. YOU COMMUNICATED IT ALL IN WAYS THAT WE COULD UNDERSTAND. EVEN FOLKS THAT ARE NOT GOOD AT MATH. IT WAS HELPFUL TO ME. I ALSO GOT TO SEE SOMETHING WHEN I CAME TO THE MEETING LAST WEEK. HEARING IT A SECOND TIME IS ALWAYS EVEN BETTER. BUT, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK. I WANTED TO MENTION THAT I APPRECIATE BEING IN THAT MEETING LAST WEEK AND HEARING THE RESPONSES FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AFTER HEARING THE PRESENTATION AND A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS BUT I THOUGHT ONE OF THE KEY THEMES THAT THEY WERE QUESTIONING IN THE COMMENTS WAS THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS HOW ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF THE GREAT WORK AND STABILITY OF THIS DISTRICT, THE SOUND FISCAL DECISIONS AND SOME OTHER DECISIONS BEEN PASSED AROUND THE BALL AND AND ALL THAT. THOUGHTFUL OF THEM WANTING TO MAKE SURE FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE THAT? THIS COMMUNITY, NOT JUST OUR SCHOOLS OR STAFF BUT OUR COMMUNITY IS REALLY BENEFITING. I APPRECIATED THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANT TO ECHO WHAT WAS JUST SAID. I DO THINK, I THINK OVER TIME, WE ARE GETTING BETTER ABOUT COMMUNICATION. BUT THE CHARGE OF THE MEASURE WITH THE CITIZENS BOND COMMITTEE WHERE THE MONEY WAS SPENT. SO I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT AND I AM HOPING WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THAT BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER BOND WE MIGHT WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR COMING. THAT WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. THINK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS TEAM TO HELP US GET THE CREDIT RAINING AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

>> MY PLEASURE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU AGAIN. IT WAS

GREAT. >> THANK YOU.

>> JOB WELL DONE . IS YOUR LIGHT ON?

>> SO, COMING UP NEXT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE NEXT MEETING OR THE ONE AFTER ON THE PROJECT LIST YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE LAST ROUND OF MONEY IS GOING TO GO FOR 2021 2025. THEN THE COMMITTEE WILL DO THE END OF YOUR REPORT AT THE NEXT

MEETING. >> ADDING MORE VISUALS. GREAT SHOPPING DONE. IT IS GREAT TO SEE IT. THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. SEEING THEN,

>> YES. >> YES.

>> YES. >> YES.

IS ITEM P. TO BE EVOLUTION? >> I MOVE THAT WE ATTACHED THE

PILOT COURSES AS SUBMITTED. >> SECOND PATRON WHEN IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? LISA

EVANS POWELL? >> I PULLED THIS FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT POP UP THAT WAS REALLY FUN TO READ AND GET EXCITED ABOUT. THERE ARE SOME REALLY GREAT COURSES THAT ARE BEING PILOTED NEXT YEAR. SO, I WAS CURIOUS. I AM SURE THIS HAPPENS, I ASSUME THIS HAPPENS EVERY YEAR, THERE ARE COURSES THAT ARE APPROVED IN PILOTED IN THE NEXT YEAR. I DON'T REMEMBER LAST SPRING. I DON'T REMEMBER, I'M SURE WE APPROVED SOMETHING. MAY BE ONE OF THESE CAUGHT MY EYE, I DON'T KNOW. BUT I WAS CURIOUS IF THIS IS A TYPICAL NUMBER OF COURSES THAT WE MIGHT SEE THAT COME FORWARD.

>> EAGLETON IN MY EXPERIENCES , THIS IS A BIT MORE. IT CERTAINLY SPEAKS TO THE INNOVATION OF OUR AMAZING TEACHERS THAT ARE OUT THERE WRITING THESE COURSES WORKING IN THEIR DEPARTMENT AND ARTICULATING THE SECONDARY CURRICULUM ADVISORY COUNCIL. IT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN USUAL. WE GIVE CREDIT TO OUR TEACHERS.

>> COOL. THE PUBLIC HEALTH SOLUTIONS IN THE FORENSIC SCIENCE, ARE THOSE ALIGNED WITH PATHWAYS? I KNOW THEY COME

UNDER THE SCIENCE UMBRELLA. >> I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN.

THEY ARE IN THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS. TYPICALLY IF THEY WERE CTE COURSES WE WOULD HAVE THEM IN THE CTE COURSE.

>> GO AHEAD. >> I JUST HAD ONE MORE. I KNOW A COUPLE OF THESE ARE LISTED AS INTERNSHIPS. THE SPORTS MEDICINE INTERNSHIP IN THE TEACHING AND FRIENDSHIP WHICH ARE CTE. I WAS CURIOUS, HOW DOES THAT WORK. I AM ASSUMING IT IS A CLASS THAT A STUDENT WOULD TAKE A SEMESTER? BUT THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS REAL LIFE OPTIONS OR OPPORTUNITIES

WITHIN THAT. >> YEAH, THOSE TEACHERS ARE ARRANGING TO HAVE FIELD EXPERIENCES AFFORD THE STUDENTS TO COME WORK AND SUPPORT WITH AN INTERNSHIP AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS WELL AS FOR THE SPORTS MEDICINE COURSE, PROVIDING SOME SUPPORT AT PRACTICES ALL UNDER THE

SUPERVISION OF THE TEACHER. >> I HAVE A TECHNICAL QUESTION.

E-SPORTS AS NON-DEPARTMENTAL. HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> MEETING? >> HOW ARE YOU CREDENTIALED -- HOW DOES CREDENTIALING WORK IF IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER ENGLISH OR MATH OR WHAT? DOES IT GO STRAIGHT TO THE PRINCIPAL OR IS THAT? IS THAT SOMEBODY OUTSIDE. HOW DOES THAT WORK? THAT MIGHT BE TOO PICKY, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS FASCINATING.

>> BEGIN PROVIDED IN A BORDER POOR BUT IT WILL BE TAUGHT BY A

TEACHER, FOR SURE. YES. >> ANYONE IN THE BACK? I KNOW

SOMEBODY DOES. >> DR. SOUTER HAS A RESPONSE

FOR US. >> I FIGURED SHE MIGHT.

>> THE REASON IT IS LISTED AS A NUMBER NON-DEPARTMENTAL COURSES IT IS CONSIDERED A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ELECTIVE.

EXPLORING E-SPORTS CLASS IS GOING TO COVER THE FULL GAMBIT OF COMPETITIVE E-SPORTS. SO, WE MIGHT HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN MEDIA GRAPHICS AND DESIGN WERE STUDENTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE COMPUTER CODING. STUDENTS WHO WANT TO MAKE THE T-SHIRTS FOR THE TEAM. SO, IT IS NOT JUST SITTING AND

PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. >> I'M SURE PEOPLE WOULD WANT

[01:05:02]

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE SPORTS OFFICIATING CLASS. FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO BE A STUDENT TO BE IN IT? SECOND OF ALL, WILL THIS BE RECOGNIZED BY THE CIF I MEAN, THE KIDS I GRADUATE WITH THIS COURSE WILL THEY BE ABLE TO REFEREE RIGHT AWAY OR OFFICIATE THE VARIOUS SPORTS IT IS GOING TO COVER?

>> WE HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE HERE.

>> NEWBERRY PARK HIGH SCHOOL. >> I FIGURED WE MIGHT AS WELL

ASK WHILE WE HAVE THE GUESTS. >> VERY QUICKLY, IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SECOND-LEVEL PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT THAT STUDENTS WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE THEIR TWO YEARS. IT IS STUDENTS IN 10TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE. ONE OF OUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND THE ASSISTANT COACH FOR GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL SPENT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WRITING THIS COURSE.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY TEACH THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF REFEREEING AND OFFICIATING AND WOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE WITH REFEREEING AND ON-SITE DURING PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES TO GET THAT CLASS PRACTICE IN AND THEN GO GAIN CERTIFICATION AND MOVE THE WAY UP THE LINE ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A CAREER

COMPONENT TO IT, AS WELL. >> WE SHOULD ALL GO BACK TO

HIGH SCHOOL. >> JUST A QUICK PROCESS QUESTION. ARE THESE COURSES TYPICALLY PILOTED FOR ONE YEAR? WE KNOW WE HAVE LATER CONSENT AGENDA IS CONFIRMING THE PERMANENT STATUS. IS IT A ONE PILOT OR CAN IT GO LONGER?

>> TYPICALLY A ONE-YEAR PILOT. THERE HAVE BEEN ONE CASE WHERE IT WAS A TWO YEAR PILOT. WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH STUDENTS THAT FIRST YEAR WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE COURT. THE SECOND PIER, THERE WAS INTEREST.

>> THINK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING THEN.

>> JUST REALLY QUICK. BACK TO THE QUESTION OF HOW MANY HAVE WE APPROVED IN THE PAST? LAST YEAR WE HAD NINE COURSES. THIS LIST IS A LITTLE BIT LENGTHIER THAN THAT.

>> HE SHOULD ALWAYS COME. >> EXACTLY. AWESOME.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY. ALL OF US.

GOOD EVENING TO BOARD PRESIDENT GOLDBERG, SUPERINTENDENT MCLACHLAN. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I AM GINA MANDEL, PROUD PRINCIPAL OF THE ELEMENTARY. SO, I JUST WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU TODAY. AS I WAS LEAVING CAMPUS, SOMEONE STOPPED ME AND SHE SAID I JUST HAVE TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU. TO HIS MAGICAL. THAT WAS THE WORD SHE USED. SO, WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE AND THEN WATCH THIS MAGIC HAPPEN. SO, WE HAVE DONE A BIT OF WORK THIS YEAR THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL STAFF AND GREAT

[01:10:02]

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE WOULD LIKE STUDENTS TO BE EMPOWERED WITH KNOWLEDGE. AS WE ALL KNOW, THAT IS THE FOCUS OF ALL OF OURS RULES HERE IN THE VALLEY. MOST SIMPLY, WE WANT TO FOSTER CURIOSITY AND I ARE YOUNG MINDS. WHAT BETTER WAY TO DO IT WITH AN ACADEMY THAT IS FILLED WITH ARTS AND SCIENCES. COMING OUT OF COVID, WHAT WE DID LEARN IS THAT KIDS MISSED DOING THE DOING. RIGHT? THEY WERE GREAT WITH SCREENS, BUT THEY MISSED DOING. NOW WE HAVE BUILT THIS ACADEMY, THIS MIND-SET, THIS VISION. WE HAVE BUILT IT AND WE ARE IN IT NOW AND DOING IT AND THE KIDS, YOU WILL SEE, IT IS MAGICAL. THEY ARE ENGAGED, THEY ARE HAPPY, WE CAN ALWAYS FIND HAPPY KID SOMEWHERE. ON OUR CAMPUS YOU NOTICE THAT THEY ARE OFTEN HAPPY. ONE OF THE REASONS IS THE LINE DOWN HERE, WHERE EXPLORATION MEETS EXCELLENCE.

THIS YEAR, THANKS TO ALL OF THE STAFF AND ALL OF OUR PARTNERS, FOUND WAYS TO EXPLORE OUR LEARNING. SO, THERE ARE 269 MUSTANGS RIGHT NOW. IN THAT COMMUNITY, ONE OF THE REASONS OUR CORE VALUES WAS ACCEPTANCES THAT WE ALSO HAVE JEN AND CLASSES BUT WE HAVE ELITE PROGRAM. THIS IS A SPECIALIZED PROGRAM. IF YOU WALK ON OUR CAMPUS, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STUDENT IN JEANETTE AND A STUDENT IN A SPECIALIZED PROGRAM. WE INCLUDE EVERYBODY IN ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS IN EVERYTHING WE DO. IF IT IS ART OR SCIENCE, AND OR MUSIC, PE. WE ARE ALTOGETHER. AS YOU CAN SEE, FOR OUR STUDENT SUPPORT, THAT IS BIG HERE.

RIGHT? WE HAVE COUNSELORS AND WELLNESS CENTERS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO US THAT STUDENTS ARE SUPPORTED. BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A BROAD AND DIVERSE GROUP OF KIDS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO THAT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IS WE HAVE ACADEMIC SPECIALISTS AT OUR SCHOOL. WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM AND THEY BASICALLY, THEY ARE THERE TO ASSURE THE INTERVENTION ACADEMICALLY FOR STUDENTS IN ALL CLASSES. WE ALSO HAVE A SCIENCE SPECIALIST IN OUR REIMAGINED SCIENCE LAB. WE HAVE AN ART SPECIALIST WHO IS PHENOMENAL. SHE TEACHES ALL OF OUR CLASSES. WE HAVE A DANCE SPECIALIST. SPECIALIST AND A MUSIC SPECIALIST WERE BOTH SPONSORED BY CUSD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ALSO HAVE A NONPROFIT DANCE COMPANY THAT COMES IN AND WORKS WITH OUR STUDENTS. FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS SUPPORT INSTRUCTOR SUPPORT, WE HAVE A LINGUAL FACILITATOR. WE HAVE A BILINGUAL PARENT PROFESSIONAL, AND OUTREACH ASSISTANT. A LIAISON WITH OUR BILINGUAL COMMUNITY. WE ALSO WORK WITH PARKS AND REC TO DO OUR LUNCH SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS. THEY MANAGE OUR GAMES. THEY HELP RUN ORGANIZED GAMES DURING RECESS, DURING LUNCH RECESS. KIDS LOVE IT. WE HAVE GOT YOUNG PEOPLE RUNNING GAMES. IT IS A BENEFIT. WE HAVE INCLUSION AMBASSADORS WERE PARENTS WILL COME AND VOLUNTEER. KIDS WILL COME OUT AND SIT AT TABLES AND DO CRAFTS. ALL KIDS ARE INVITED.

WE ALSO HAVE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WERE WE HAVE. GROUPS HAVING LUNCH TOGETHER. WE HAVE MUSIC AND PE. THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN A NUTSHELL. THESE ARE OUR PARTNERS. WITHOUT THIS, WE

[01:15:01]

SOMETHING I WILL SHARE WITH YOU SHORTLY IS THE REAL BIG PARTNER. FIRST AND FOREMOST, A QUICK SHOUT OUT TO HIS PARTNERS WHO HAVE DONATED FUNDS , SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE SPECIALIST PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE LAST YEAR. THAT WE COULD NOT DO LAST YEAR. SO, I WILL GET THERE. SO, I NEED WATER. DOES ANYONE HAVE WATER? SORRY. I'M SORRY. NOW YOU PUT ME IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND I AM THIRSTY

>> OKAY. MUCH BETTER. MY GOSH. OKAY. SO, THE PERFORMING ARTS.

I WILL GO AS BRIEF AND QUICK AS I CAN WITH THIS. THERE IS SUPER EXCITING NEWS. SO, TO ARTS HAS SELECTED US AS A SCHOOL TO WORK WITH OVER THE NEXT X AMOUNT OF YEARS. THEY DID NOT PUT A DEADLINE FOR THIS TIMELINE THEY WANT TO WORK WITH US IN ARTS AND ACCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY WANT TO START WITH ONE GRADE LEVEL AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO INFUSE ARTS IN THAT GRADE LEVEL. WE ARE TALKING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR CURRICULUM. WORKING WITH TEACHERS WITH INFUSING PERFORMING ARTS, VISUAL ARTS, DIGITAL ARTS.

MUSIC. IT INCLUDES EXTRA FIELD TRIPS, IT INCLUDES, GOSH, STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS FOR OUTSIDE LESSONS FOR PRIVATE LESSONS. THEY HAVE SELECTED OUR SCHOOL. THEY WANT TO WORK WITH ONE GRADE LEVEL AND THEN EACH YEAR, THEY WILL AT A GRADE LEVEL. THEY WANT TO SEE HOW THE INFLUENCE OF ARTS WILL AFFECT THE STUDENTS. WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON STUDENTS? HOW MANY STUDENTS BECOME ART PROFESSIONALS QUESTION THE COMEDY STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION, MUSIC PRODUCTION SOUND PRODUCTION, THEATER PRODUCTION. HOW MANY BECOME ARTISTS. HOW MANY CHOOSE THAT PROFESSION? I THINK A LOT OF THIS IS SPURRED ON BY THE ARTS YOUTH LEADERSHIP WORLD. THAT IS ALSO GOING TO BE A MENTOR GROUP THAT WILL WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS. IT IS A HUGE BENEFIT, HUGE IMPACT TO OUR SCHOOL.

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU JUST ON THAT YESTERDAY? AND WHAT I DID BUT I JUST FOUND THAT OUT YESTERDAY.

>> FOR THOSE OF YOU I DID NOT GET TO SHARE WITH RIGHT AWAY, STAFF IS AWARE, BUT SOME OF THE PARENTS WHO ARE KIND ENOUGH TO BE HERE TONIGHT DID NOT KNOW. SO, MORE GOOD NEWS. IT IS AMAZING. SO WHEN I TALK ABOUT MONEY. THESE ARE THE GRANT FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED THIS YEAR. THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT WE HAVE USED. WE HAVE USED THEM. WE BUILT A DANCE STUDIO THIS YEAR. WE HIRED A SCIENCE SPECIALIST THIS YEAR WHO COORDINATED CURRICULUM WITH ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AND WORKED REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE EACH LAB ALIGNED WITH THEIR MONTHLY UNITS THAT THEY WERE PUSHING OUT TO STUDENTS. WE HAVE A THREE-YEAR FUNDING FROM SAFE PASSAGE FOR THE SCIENCE SPECIALIST. WE HAVE A THREE-YEAR FUNDING FROM THE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION FOR THE SCIENCE SPECIALIST. IT IS NOT ON HERE, BUT PTA IS A PARTNER IN THAT FUNDING. THEY HAVE HELPED. SO, EVERYONE IS KIND OF A STAKEHOLDER IN THIS. WE ARE ALL INVOLVED. WE ARE ALL IN. WE ALSO RECEIVED A $7500 DANCE GRANT FROM THE CITY OF THOUSAND OAKS. THAT WAS TO BUY THE BALLET BARS THAT WE JUST PURCHASED. PART OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THOSE BARS WAS TO BITE BARS SO THAT ALL STUDENTS COULD ACCESS THE DANCE STUDIO SPACE, EVEN IF THEY DID NOT HAVE MOBILITY OR COULD NOT HOLD THEMSELVES VERTICALLY. I WAS WALKING THERE TODAY AND I WAS WITH A GROUP OF LITTLES AND THEY WERE SO CUTE AND SO EXCITED. ONE OF THEM WAS

CRYING. >> WHY ARE YOU CRYING QUESTION WHICH SAYS, WELL, I WANT TO DANCE NEXT TO HER.

>> IS THAT ALL WE HAVE TO CRY ABOUT? WHO WE ARE GOING TO STAND NEXT TO IN A DANCE STUDIO, I AM THERE WITH YOU.

AND WE ALSO HAD -- DONATED MONEY. THEY HELPED US BECAUSE

[01:20:02]

I THINK THIS IS LIKE THE STARTING LINE. LASTLY, OF COURSE, OUR PARTNER FOR BOOKS FOR OUR LIBRARY. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT THE PARENTS, THE PTA PARENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS. THEY ARE SEEKING OUT PLACES TO FIND GRANTS. THEY ARE HELPING WRITE THE GRANTS. I MEAN, THIS IS COMMUNITY. THIS IS NOT ONE PERSON DOING IT ALL.

SO, JUST TO SHOW YOU. THIS IS OUR ACTUAL ART STUDIO WHERE WE HAVE MISS BASS WHO IS IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW. SHE IS OUR ART SPECIALIST. INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE. I INVITE YOU ALL TO COME TO OUR ART SHOW AT OUR OPEN HOUSE THIS YEAR. IT IS A SIGHT TO SEE. IT IS INCREDIBLE. THE TOP LEFT PICTURE IS OUR ART SHOW FROM LAST YEAR. JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT THEY ARE PRODUCING AT THIS SCHOOL. IT IS AMAZING. IT IS PRE-K TO FIFTH GRADE. EVERYBODY DOES ART AND IT IS INCREDIBLE. JUST TO GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE. I KNOW YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS PREVIOUSLY AND WENT THROUGH IT. THERE IS A LINK ON THE SECTION. THERE IS A PDF LINK TO IT THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE ART FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR THAT THEY HAVE WORKED ON OR WILL WORK ON BY JUNE. IT IS INCREDIBLE. THE GOAL FOR NEXT YEAR IS TO TAKE THOSE PROJECTS AND CONNECT THEM AND ALIGN THEM WITH ALL OF THE CURRICULUM THAT IS BEING PUSHED OUT DURING THE MONTH. SCIENCE DID THE SAME THING THAT I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT WITH OUR SCIENCE SPECIALIST WHO WAS ALSO IN THE ROOM TONIGHT. BUT, WHAT THEY DID IS THEY WORKED WITH THE TEACHERS TO BUILD OUT THE CURRICULUM. WE KNOW WE ARE TEACHING SCIENCE IN THE CLASSROOM, BUT WE WANT TO TAKE THEM TO THE LAB AND MAKE THEM FEEL EMPOWERED. WE HAVE LITTLE LAB COATS. THAT LAST SECTION, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. WHAT STUDENT DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO THE MUSEUM? WHAT STUDENT DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO THE PARK OBSERVATORY? WOULDN'T IT BE LOVELY TO GO TO THE L.A. ART MUSEUM? SO, YES, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF BUT ART IS BROAD AND WIDE GOOD SCIENCE IS BROAD AND WIDE. WE WANT TO EXPAND THAT FOR KIDS WITH OUR PRINTING CHIP -- PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ARTS ARENA. THE NEXT STEP FOR US AND FOR ME AND FOR OUR TEAM IS TO STEP INTO THE UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP FOR THE SCIENCE SECTION. THE DANCERS. THIS IS OUR BRAND-NEW STUDIO. ALL FUNDED BY TAO ARTS. WE FINISHED IT THIS YEAR AND WE STARTED TEACHING DANCE IN THE STUDIO THIS YEAR. THESE ARE THE DANCERS. THIS IS OUR NONPROFIT DANCE VOLUNTEER GROUP. THEY ARE CALLED DANCING WITH THE FUTURE STARS. THEY ARE ON MANY OF OUR CAMPUSES. A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE. THE KIDS ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. THEY DO THE WHOLE GRADE LEVEL THAT WILL GO INTO THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM AND DANCE. SO, IT IS NOT AS INDIVIDUALIZED AS THE STUDIO WORK, BUT IT IS LOVELY AND THE KIDS HAVE A GREAT TIME. THEY LOVE IT. WE HAVE OUR SCIENTISTS. THIS IS OUR ACTUAL LAB. THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN TAKES

IT VERY SERIOUSLY, CLEARLY. >> THEY ARE REALLY INVOLVED AND INVESTED. THIS IS OUR BRAND-NEW -- IT IS NOT OPEN YET, BUT I'M HOPING TO OPEN IT THIS MONTH WITH THE HELP OF OUR SCIENCE SPECIALIST. STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN AND ACTUALLY BUILD 3-D. WE JUST GOT SET UP. THOSE ARE TWO OF OUR 3-D PRINTERS. WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE SIX. ALL OF THE COMPUTERS ALREADY SET UP IN THE ROOM. WE ARE READY FOR THAT. WE ARE JUST WAITING TO SET UP THE OTHER FOUR WERE DELIVERED YESTERDAY. YOU'RE GETTING THERE. ALL OF THE KIDS CAN COME THROUGH ONE TIME THIS YEAR AND WE WILL START FRESH NEXT YEAR.

OF COURSE, WE HAVE MUSICIANS. MUSICIANS ARE SO IMPORTANT.

I'VE SEEN IT AT THE CHORUS LINE. WHAT IS IT MORE ENRICHING IN THE ARTS THEN BUSINESS. ALL OF THOSE PIECES FOR KIDS, WE

[01:25:05]

THREE OF THE KIDS I WAS OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND AND SHE RAN OUT TO ME. NOBODY TOUCHED IT.. NOBODY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LIFECYCLE IS. SO, I TOOK THE CUP OFF AND THERE IT WAS AND THE NEXT DAY IT HAD OPENED UP AND FLOWN AWAY. SO AGAIN, IT IS A MAGICAL PLACE. EXCURSIONS. SO, THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. DURING COVID, WE WERE LOCKED IN. THAT IS THE HCA HEALTH CARE IN THE HOSPITAL DID ROBOTICS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. MADE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS FOR OUR SCHOOL AND GET THIS OFF THE GROUND. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR DOING THE PRINCIPAL BREAKFAST. PRINCIPAL FOR HALF DAY. MY FIRST HALF-DAY PRINCIPAL. THERE WE GO. ENOUGH SAID. ANYWAY.

THAT WAS THE ROBOTICS EXPERIENCE AT THE HOSPITAL. OF COURSE, I MEAN, WE CANNOT HAVE PE WITHOUT MISS HARGRAVE. IT IS PHENOMENAL. KIDS LOVE HER. SO, WITH EVERY MAGNET SCHOOL, WHAT'S NEXT? MAYBE A UNIFORM. DECIDED TO DO TO GIVE KIDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK UP, GIVE EVERY STUDENT A SHIRT, A UNIFORMED SHIRT. GIVE THEM TWO OPTIONAL DAYS TO WEAR THE SHIRTS AND SEE IF THEY WEAR THEM AND SEE IF THEY LIKE THEM.

WE WILL PULL THE STUDENTS HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR. IF IT IS A GO, IT IS A GO. IF NOT, WE WILL KEEP GOING THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR, PULL THEM ONE MORE TIME AND SEE YOU KNOW? IF IT WORKS, THE NEXT YEAR WE CAN GIVE THEM ANOTHER SHIRT. START MAKING IT MANDATORY ON A COUPLE DAYS UNTIL WE HAVE ENOUGH SHIRTS OUT THERE. FOR ME, FOR PTA AND ALL THE STAFF, WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT MANDATORY. I THINK IN THE TERMS OF A FIFTH GRADER WHO HAS BEEN CHOOSING WHAT THEY WERE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE TOLD YOU HAVE TO WEAR THIS. I THINK EASING INTO IT MIGHT BE A BETTER WAY TO SEE IF KIDS WANT TO CHOOSE.

THIS IS NOT EVERYBODY, BY ANY MEANS. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF WHO WE ARE. THIS IS A HIKE AT THE TARANTULA SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL ONE DAY. WE DID A SPIDER CRAWLED. IT WAS LOVELY. WE HAD PIZZA. THERE ARE THE GARDENERS FROM THEIR VERY, VERY LONG DAY OF DIGGING. ONE THE TEACHERS WALKED UP TO ME AND SAID MY GOODNESS. I HAD A BRAINSTORM. WE ARE THE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND

SCIENCES. >> WHAT DO YOU MEAN? PRINT WHAT ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT. BRILLIANT. THAT IS WHAT I SAID. HERE IT IS. GO BACK ONE. SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE DIVERSE IN OUR STUDENT BODY. WE ARE DIVERSE IN OUR STAFF. WERE WE ARE NOT

[01:30:05]

WE WOULD LIKE TO BE THE MAGNET SCHOOL THAT ENTERS THE 2024 AND 2025 SCHOOL YEAR AS THE ART THE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.

QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. >> MAGICAL.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION. THANK YOU ALL. I MEAN, YOU HAVE WORKED ALL DAY AND THEN YOU COME HERE. I KNOW THE EXCITEMENT OF BEING HERE TO LISTEN TO US. THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU FOR THAT SEGMENT. PLEASE INCLUDE ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST FOR EVERY EVENT THAT YOU HAVE THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL.

>> I AM NOT EVEN SURE HOW I CAN TOP THAT PRESENTATION. IT IS REALLY AMAZING. I THINK THE ONE WORD I WOULD TAKE OUT OF IT IS COMMUNICATE. HE TALKED ABOUT THAT FROM THE GET-GO. YOU ARE COMMITTING -- CREATING A COMMUNITY AND A BROADER COMMUNITY. WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT. HOW CAN WE GAIN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. YOU REALLY, TRULY EXEMPLIFY THE ALL OF THESE ENTITIES TOGETHER. I GUESTS MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE PROCESS HERE? IF ANYTHING, WHAT CAN THE BOARD WERE DISTRICT DO TO SUPPORT THIS MOVE TO THE ACADEMY OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES? 2024 AND 2025 SCHOOL YEAR IS COMING UP PRETTY QUICKLY. SO, WHAT IS THE PLAN?

>> WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT US? SHOW UP. JUST BE THERE.

SMILE AND NOD AND SAY YES WE ARE READY TO HAVE YOU AS THE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES WE ARE READY TO GO. WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT. THIS YEAR, WE REALLY DID THE WORK BY LAUNCHING EVERYTHING. WE SAID LET'S DO IT. WE CAN DO THIS.

NOW WE JUST NEED THE NAME TO MATCH WHAT WE ALREADY DO.

>> IF I COULD JUST ADD, BASED OFF OUR POLICY WITH PROGRAMS. THERE IS NO FORMAL APPROVAL OR ADOPTION BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF IF THEY WERE TO GO FORMALLY REQUIRING SCHOOL UNIFORMS, THAT WOULD BE AN APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION BASED OFF OUR POLICIES. REALLY, IT WAS FORTUITOUS SO, WE HAD BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS REQUEST THE PRESENTATION. THIS IS A BIT OF WHAT IS BEEN GOING ON THERE., NO FORMAL ACTION FOR THE BOARD'S END.

>> WE DON'T VOTE ON IT. . DOES IT CHANGE ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR DOES IT STAY AS THE STATUS QUO?

>> NO. WE ARE WHO WE ARE AND WE KNOW IT IS FIELD OF DREAMS. NO QUESTION. IN ONE PART OF THE REASON WHY I ASKED FOR IS BECAUSE YOU ARE THIS DREAM. YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING AND BREATHING THIS AND MAKING THE MAGIC HAPPEN. SOMETIMES WE KEEP OUR BEST-KEPT SECRETS, TOO SECRET. YOU ARE IN FACT THIS GREAT PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO COME. FIELD OF DREAMS IS A REALLY

GOOD ANALOGY FOR THAT. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I WAS THERE IN NOVEMBER WITH PRESIDENT GOLDBERG AND HE SHOWED US WHERE THE DANCE STUDIO WAS IN THE PROCESS OR GOING TO BE WITH THE SCIENCE LAB. AT THE TIME, YOU JUST HAD ALL OF THESE AND YOU WERE SO EXCITED. IT IS REALLY EXCITING TO BE SIX MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE ALL OF THIS. THERE WAS ONLY THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS. I LIKE THE POTENTIAL LOOK TO REALLY SEE IT

[01:35:02]

GOOD RESEARCH SUPPORT. >> IT HAS THE ANNIVERSARY

WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. >> NO ALCOHOL.

>> CERTAINLY NOT. >> YOU KNOW ME SO WELL.

>> YOU KNOW THAT THEY KNOW ME SO WELL.

>> DING YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. THANK YOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE SHOW OF SUPPORT IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I VISITED. I BELIEVE I WAS THERE UNLIKE YOUR THIRD DAY.

>> PROBABLY. I WAS A WHIRLWIND. FUNDING SOURCES AND SO ON.

THERE IS MUCH MORE THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF. SO I AM REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS UPDATE. OF COURSE YOU HAVE ALL OF OUR SUPPORT AND I CANNOT WAIT TO COME AND VISIT YOU

AGAIN. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL.

ALSO, I HAVE TO SAY I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THE SLIDE DECK, BUT THERE WAS A PARENT THAT HELP ME WITH THIS.

I JUST HAVE TO SAY, KUDOS TO THAT PARENT. A PARENT IS ALSO

HERE. >> IT TAKES A VILLAGE. OTHERS THAT COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT HAVE MADE US WHAT WE ARE. THEY REALLY DID. IT IS ALL FOR STUDENTS. I LEAVE ONE MORE QUOTE. THEN I WILL SIT DOWN, I PROMISE. YOU CANNOT GIVE ME THE MICROPHONE. SOMEBODY SAID TO ME ON MONDAY, I AM NOT KIDDING. I DON'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. SHE SAID TO ME, WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING HERE IS KINDNESS. I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THAT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH . >> OKAY, NEXT UP, INSTRUCTIONAL

[B. Instructional Services - Presentation: DATA Academy at Newbury Park High School]

SCHOOL. >> IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO STICK AROUND OR TIME TO TRANSITION, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE GOT THINGS TO DO.

>> THINK YOU ALL FOR COMING, TRULY. WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> I THINK THE SIGNS THAT MPH AS ROCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

>> TRUSTEES, DR. MCLAUGHLIN, EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT . IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SHOWCASE ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION. THANK YOU TO OUR FEARLESS LEADER OF THE DATA ACADEMY, ROB MARTIN, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS 12 OR 13 YEARS RUNNING THE DATA ACADEMY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE WHERE HE IS TAKING IT TO WHERE WE ARE. THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENT TEACHERS THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE DATA ACADEMY.

I CALL HER ONE OF OUR UTILITY TEACHERS. SHE IS ALWAYS VOLUNTEERING FOR THE PROGRAMS COMMITTEES AND WILLING TO TRY NEW COURSES. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE THEM. I THINK YOU, EVERYBODY. SO, I JUST CAME TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DATA PROGRAM THAT I COORDINATE AT NEWBERRY PARK HIGH SCHOOL.

SO, THE SIMPLE WAY THAT I USUALLY DESCRIBE IT WHEN PRESENTING TO PARENTS IS THAT WE TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF STUDENTS THROUGH THE SEQUENCE OF CAREER READY ELECTIVES TO BUILD UPON EACH OTHER WITH CAPSTONE . OUR GRANT COMES FROM PROP 98 WHICH WAS PASSED IN 1988. SO, BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. I TOOK OVER THE PROGRAM AND ALLOW AROUND 2012.

WHEN THE GRANT FIRST CAME OUT. THE BASICS OF IT WAS THAT SCHOOLS WOULD CHOOSE WHAT WE WOULD NOW CALL CAREER PATHWAYS FOR THE TERMINOLOGY CHANGE A LITTLE BIT ON THE TIMES. AT THE TIME, IT SEEMED A PRETTY BROAD AND SOMETHING THAT COULD BE TIED INTO COURSES ACROSS VARIOUS CURRICULUM. SINCE THEN, FALL IN LINE WITH ICT CAREER PATHWAY FOR NEWBERRY PARK HIGH

[01:40:03]

WE USE CALCULATIONS ON THIS REPORT SUCH AS AVERAGE CLASS SIZES WITHIN OUR ACADEMY. EXTRA PREP PERIOD FOR THE COORDINATOR. TIME SPENT THROUGH MEETINGS OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM, CHAPERONING FIELD TRIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT IS WHERE MOST OF OUR DISTRICT COMES FROM. WE ALSO NEED 100% BUSINESS PARTNER WATCH FROM OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT. THIS IS HISTORICALLY COME IN THE FORM OF INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. MENTORSHIP, INTERVIEW FARES. WE ALSO HAVE OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR CT THAT MEETS WITH MEMBERS ALL OVER THE COMMUNITY AND OUR BUSINESS PARTNER MATCH. GUEST SPEAKERS AS OFTEN AS WE CAN GET THEM INTO THE CLASSROOM AND ALSO FIELD TRIPS. THERE ARE LOTS OF FIELD TRIPS THAT PROVIDE QUITE A BIT OF THINGS THAT WE CAN USE THAT QUALIFIES FOR BUSINESS PARTNER MATCH. IN TERMS OF OUR SCHOOL POPULATION, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS GRANT REQUIRES US TO DO IS END UP WITH A DIVERSE POPULATION THAT ENDS UP BEING REALLY GREAT. 50% OF OUR STUDENTS NEED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE PUT FORTH WITHIN THE EDUCATION CODE OF WHAT WE CALL PROMISE. THESE REQUIREMENTS, STUDENTS WOULD NEED THREE OF SIX REQUIREMENTS AND THEY ARE ANYTHING FROM APPEARS TO SERVICE BY TYPICAL EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS, LOW MOTIVATION, PROBLEMS THE PAST ATTENDANCE. BEHIND IN CREDITS, SMARTER BALANCE SCORES OF TWO OR BELOW. IF YOU THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT IS ONE HALF OF THE POPULATION NEEDS TO MEET. BUT THIS ENDS UP DOING IS PROVIDES US WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL POPULATION WITH AN ENTIRETY TO BE REPRESENTED IN OUR PROGRAM AND BENEFIT FROM WHERE THERE IS NO PAST ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE THAT EXCLUDES A STUDENT FROM HAVING OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IF THEY ARE INTERESTED IN SEARCHING THROUGH A VARIETY OF STUDENTS WITH SOCIOECONOMIC STATUSES IN THAT MATERIAL. THAT REALLY ENDS UP BEING A GREAT TOOL THAT WE CAN USE TO REALLY ENSURE DIVERSITY ACROSS THE PROGRAM. AND THEN, WE HAVE THIS CAREER FOCUSING SEQUENCE OF CTE. THERE IS A LIST OF CLASSES ON THE NEXT SLIDE. IN ORDER TO KEEP GIVING THIS EVERY YEAR, THERE ARE THREE REPORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. USUALLY IT IS APRIL 15. WE HAVE WHAT IS CALLED LETTER OF INTENT. I TELL THE STATE HOW MANY STUDENTS I EXPECT TO HAVE NEXT YEAR SO THEY CAN APPROXIMATE WHAT FUNDING THEY WILL RECEIVE. DURING THIS TIME UP UNTIL NOW. THIS WOULD BE OUR PROPOSED BUZZ IT -- BUDGET THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING, WHAT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION OVERUSING. COST PER MILE FOR THE BUS. HELPING US OUT WITH THOSE GREAT NUMBERS. ALL OF THAT SORT OF STUFF PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME.

OCTOBER 31ST, WE JUST GOT AN EMAIL, LITERALLY A MONTH AGO TO LET US KNOW WHAT IS NOW DUE JUNE 30TH, AS OF THIS YEAR, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT ALREADY. OUR BIG ANNUAL REPORT.

B STUDENT DATA IN CREDITS EARNED VERSUS CREDITS ATTEMPTED. DAYS IN ATTENDANCE. THOSE PROMISE CRITERIA WOULD BE PUT IN THERE. WE ALSO INCLUDE ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS OUR COMMUNITY OR BUSINESS PARTNER MATCH IN THE DISTRICT MATCH WITHIN THIS REPORT. IT IS A VERY LARGE REPORT. WE TALK ABOUT ACADEMY SUCCESSES. ACADEMY STRUGGLES IN ACADEMY MODEL. WE PUT IN OUR COURSES AND JUSTIFY ANYTHING THAT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY BEING MET. ANOTHER STIPULATION WITHIN THE GRANT SAYS THAT ALL TEACHERS GIVE COMMON PREP PERIODS TO MEET AND ENROLL TOGETHER. THIS YEAR WE HAVE HAD THAT. IF FOR SOME REASON SCHEDULING DOES NOT ALLOW THAT, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO JUSTIFY ALL OF THE ACTIONS WITH DOING OUR BEST TO MAXIMIZE

[01:45:03]

BASICALLY, THE PROGRAMMING, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE WEB DESIGN. USING THE SOFTWARE WITH A LOT OF THE SAME TECHNOLOGY. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS ATTACK EXPLORATIONS THAT WILL BE USED TO CREATE AUTOMATED MONITORING DEVICES FOR AGRICULTURE AND AUTOMATIC PUMP THAT WILL WATER BASED ON MOISTURE. WE TRY TO BRING THE SKILLS THEY HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THE SEQUENCE OF ELECTIVES TO BUILD IN THAT STREAM IN CAPSTONE. THEY FINISH WITH AP COMMUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES. IS IT 15 STUDENTS THIS YEAR? 14 THAT GOT TO TAKE THE AP TEST THIS YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT FOR US. WE ARE EXCITED TO

SEE THOSE NUMBERS INCREASE. >> THE NATURE OF THE PROGRAM , WE CAN SEE THAT THESE CLASSES THAT'S ACP. THOSE ARE COURSES THAT STUDENTS WOULD USUALLY BE TAKING WITH AN AP TRACK. THOSE STUDENTS ARE ALREADY LIKELY TO TAKE THESE COURSES ANYWAY. THIS UP -- ENDS UP BEING VERY FUN FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

TOGETHER THROUGH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR DAY. WE CAN WORK WITH EACH OTHER AND INTEGRATING OPERATE REALLY EFFECTIVELY. OUR 11TH GRADE STUDENTS ARE STARTING A PROJECT WHERE THEY WILL READ A BIOGRAPHY FOR ENGLISH ABOUT A VERY PROMINENT UNITED STATES FIGURE THAT HAS HAD AN EFFECT ON HISTORY. A MAP IN GIS ABOUT THEIR LIFE AND IMPORTANT PATHWAYS THROUGH THEIR LIFE WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM. THEY WILL PRESENT THE PLATFORM OF THE WEBPAGE. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH ALL OF OUR CLASSES, WHICH IS WRITTEN INTO THE GRANT. ONE BIG PROJECT WHERE ALL OF THE STUDENTS ARE WORKING REQUIREMENTS AND ALL OF THEIR CLASSWORK. THAT IS PRETTY EXCITING. WE HAVE FOUR CLASSES AND 2/12 GRADE. THIS ENDS UP BEING REALLY GREAT TIME AS WELL. PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO INVESTIGATE OTHER THINGS THEY MIGHT BE IN ARRESTED AND THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER, AND DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE. WE ARE HOLDING ARE SCHEDULED TO WHAT THEY NEED. I ALWAYS MENTION, JUST TWO FAMILIES INTERESTED. THE ONE TOPIC WE DON'T REALLY COVER IN THE ACADEMY IS MATH BECAUSE IT TENDS TO BE NOT AS GRADE LEVEL SPECIFIC.

>> MOST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH WHAT COURSES THEY ARE INJURED BUT STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAM BETWEEN 10TH AND 12TH GRADE, SIX FIELD TRIPS PER YEAR. THIS IS JUST OUR MOST CURRENT LIST OF FIELD TRIPS AND THESE ARE THE TRIPS THAT WE WENT ON THIS YEAR WITH OUR SOPHOMORES --

[01:50:34]

>> WE WENT TO JPL. ONE OF THE ONES WHERE THE DATES BECOME AVAILABLE CLICK AS FAST AS SHE CAN. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK. SOMETIMES IT DOES. THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR, WE REALLY TRY OUR BEST WITH THE OPPORTUNITY. THAT IS GREAT. WE CAN SEE THAT WITH SPIRIT AND CURIOSITY. RANCHO SIERRA VISTA HEIGHT. WE GO AROUND HERE AND WE MAP THE NATIVE SPECIES WITH THE MAP THAT INCLUDES A POTENTIAL TOUR IF SOMEONE WANTS TO VISIT THE AREA . THEY HAVE THE SPOTS ON THEIR WHERE THEY CAN SEE THE EDUCATION ABOUT THIS SPECIES IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. A LOT OF KIDS KNOW THEY SEE THE VIEW EVERY DAY. IT IS ALWAYS A FUN TIME. LOGIC CREDIT UNION WITH FINANCIAL LITERACY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE BEING A PART OF IT AND WATCHING IT DEVELOP OVER THE YEARS. LAST WEEK WE TOOK THE JUNIORS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. I GOT TO SEE ALL OF THE IMPORTANT THING THAT THEY ARE COVERING. THEY DID A GREAT TOUR FOR US. ON MAY 10TH, NEXT FRIDAY, WE ARE GOING TO SANTA CRUZ ISLAND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ECOLOGY OF THE ISLAND. WE WILL TAKE SOME ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENTS ON THE AIR POLLUTION. WE CAN ANALYZE AND MAKE MAPS ABOUT. LIKE I SAID, WE TOOK THEM TO THE CAL STATE CHANNEL ISLANDS PREVENTION ISLANDS HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT THINGS FOR US, AS WELL. THEY PROVIDE US WITH SPECIFIC TOURS THAT HAVE TO DO MORE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AND INTEREST OF OUR PROGRAM. THAT IS BEEN VERY NICE. CMU GAVE US A SPECIFIC TOUR OF THEIR DEPARTMENT THAT HAS BEEN COOL. A NEW TRIP LAST YEAR TO THE GRAMMY MUSEUM. IT IS NOT JUST THE MUSEUM, BUT THEY HAVE A SPECIAL CLASS THAT WAS A I AND THE ROLE THAT TECHNOLOGY PLAYS IN MUSIC PRODUCTION THESE DAYS. REALLY RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO. THAT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. THE COLLEGE HAS BEEN ACE GREAT SUPPORT ON A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TOPICS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE AND CYBERSECURITY PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY HAVE HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR US. WE WENT TO WARNER BROS. STUDIOS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THEN ALSO WITH THE SENIORS, THEY ARE OLD BUT THEY ARE NOT TOO OLD THAT IS THE CELEBRATORY YEAR. OTHER THINGS WE HAVE IS TO PUT TECHNOLOGY IN THEIR HANDS AS MUCH AS WE CAN. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH THIS HAS CHANGED IN THE 90S. WE HAD OUR VERY OWN LAPTOP CARD. STUDENTS COULD USE A LAPTOP DURING. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE ALL OF THESE IDEAS. SIX MONTHS LATER, THE ENTIRE SCHOOL HAS BEEN TRYING TO SEE EVERY WAY THAT WE CAN DO THIS. THIS IS REALLY FUN FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW IDEAS AND TRY THINGS OUT. IT HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD. SOME OF THESE EXAMPLES. THERE IS BIOTECH EXPERIENCE. RAISING HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS WITH OUR RENEWABLE

ENERGY EXPLORATION. >> HERE WE CAN SEE WITH EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, AS WELL, WE THOUGHT WE WERE DOING A GOOD JOB IN THE CLASSROOM. WE WANT STUDENTS TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A PLACE IN THE SCHOOL. YOU KNOW? A PLACE THAT SUPPORTS THEM. FOR A LONG TIME A LITTLE BIT BEFORE MY TIME, AS WELL. I AM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, YOU REALLY HAVE TO DIAL IN THE RIGHT WAY TO CONVINCE HIM TO COME OUT IN THE EVENINGS AND DO SOMETHING FUN. SOMETIMES GETTING THEM TO ACCEPT THAT IT IS A GOOD TIME AND IT IS OKAY TO BE A GOOD TIME. A SPOOKY MOVIE NIGHT LET THERE BE ART WITH PIZZA AND FUN STUFF LIKE THAT. NOT TO BE USED FOR FOOD AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

MAKE A PANCAKE BREAKFAST. WE DO ONE RIGHT BEFORE WINTER BREAK,

[01:55:03]

SOME OF THEM WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING. WE ARE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT. GUEST SPEAKERS HAVE BEEN A HUGE PART, AS WELL.. I THINK A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH A GREAT HESITATION FOR US. SCOTT EDELSTEIN THE VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR WITH NO WAY HOME. HE GAVE US A GREAT PRESENTATION THAT TELLS YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS. THOSE THINGS ARE PRETTY GREAT WITH OUR FORENSIC SPECIALISTS AND G.I. SPECIALISTS. COLOR SPECIALISTS FROM KING OF THE HILL THAT CAME IN DURING COVID AND HOW THEY DO THAT. GRACIOUSLY WILLING TO GIVE US SOME TIME. WE TALKED ABOUT 3-D PRINTING EARLIER. IT GIVES OUR STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY. NEWBERRY PARK 3-D PRINTED AND DESIGN SCULPTURES.

MAKER BOUGHT SKETCHES. WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM. THE STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CLASS. WORKS A LOT DIFFERENTLY. SHE JUST LEARNS ABOUT NEW MACHINES THAT THEY FIX WHEN THEY BREAK IN ALL SORTS OF THINGS. I TELL THE STUDENTS THAT THEY HAVE 3-D PRINTERS. I DON'T HAVE 3-D PRINTERS. ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR YOU. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS FOR. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO SAY ROBOTICS. THIS IS A GREAT PLATFORM. WE SEE STUDENTS THAT LOVE TECHNOLOGY AND ALREADY KNOW HOW TO BUILD A WHOLE BUNCH OF ROBOTS AND VERY, VERY GOOD AT THAT SORT OF THING. THE STUDENTS THINK IT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING AND I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT BUT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. SO, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. THOSE BLOCKS ON THE BOTTOM ARE RELATIVELY SIMPLE PROGRAMS. USING THE IPAD WITH A SERIES OF FLASHING LIGHTS. THE CODING LANGUAGE IS SIMPLE ON THOSE ONES. THEN YOU CAN SEE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. THE EDISON ONE IS ONE THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A LOT. THIS IS ONE THAT CHANGES RAPIDLY. WE DECIDE THAT WE ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED BECAUSE EVERY 18 MONTHS THEY HAVE NEW PLATFORM AND THEY DON'T SUPPORT THE OLD ONE WITH EDUCATION AND TRYING TO USE OUR FUNDS APPROPRIATELY, IS ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE REALLY HAD TO EXPERIMENT A LITTLE BIT OR GET A FEW OPTIONS TESTED OUT AND THEN ONCE WE SEE WHAT WE LIKE, WE GET THE LARGER OPTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE CAN HAVE ALL SORTS OF STUDENTS ON DIFFERENT LEVELS. IT IS A BIG PART OF OUR PROGRAM. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE. THIS IS FROM SOPHOMORE YEAR. I THINK THEY ARE READING LORD OF THE FLIES. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT THEY DID WITH TECHNICAL EXPLORATIONS WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL IT IS A PROGRAM THAT WE USE. THEY MADE THE IMAGE TO REPRESENT A SCENE FROM LORD OF THE FLIES. A WEBSITE FROM ONE OF THE BOOKS THAT THEY READ. THERE IS NO REASON WE CANNOT TIE THESE COURSES TOGETHER. WITH OUR STUDENTS, AS WELL.

[02:00:08]

THEY VERY WELL COULD NOT AT THE END OF SENIOR YEAR, WHILE THEY STILL MIGHT NOT BE HANGING OUT EVERY AFTER SCHOOL, THEY KNOW EACH OTHER. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER. AS OPPOSED TO STRANGERS WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND DON'T REALLY

[02:05:05]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS?

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT HERE AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT GO TO NEWBERRY PARK , THIS IS REALLY COOL TO SEE ABOUT THE STUFF THAT MY OTHER STUDENTS ARE DOING WITH THEIR SCHOOL.

SO, I WANTED TO MENTION. I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS PROGRAM BEFORE YOU GUYS CAME. IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR ABOUT HOW LOW THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY YOU HAVE MADE IT. WE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HONORS AND AP LEVELS OF CLASSES VERSUS CP CLASSES WHERE IT IS OFTEN REALLY HARD TO GET INTO THOSE CLASSES BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE. KNOW? YOU CAN JUST PICK UP A PEN AND PAPER, BUT YOU CAN JUST PRINT IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO TECHNOLOGY. SO, THE ACCESSIBILITY. THESE RESOURCES ARE VERY FANTASTIC. I WANTED TO ASK, ARE STUDENTS ABLE TO JOIN LATER THAN SOPHOMORE YEAR? OR DO THEY HAVE TO JOIN SOPHOMORE YEAR IN ORDER TO BE A PART OF

IT? >> IT ALLOWS US TO ADD STUDENT SOPHOMORE YEAR IN JUNIOR YEAR. SO, USUALLY EVERY YEAR I AM LOOKING FOR 30 SOPHOMORES AND I AM USUALLY LOOKING FOR ABOUT TWO TO FIVE CURRENT SOPHOMORES WHO WILL BE JUNIORS THE FOLLOWING YEAR MOVE A LOT MORE OFTEN. FRESHMEN WHO WILL BE

SOPHOMORES >> THOSE JUNIORS, WILL THEY START IN THE EXPLORATIONS TECHNOLOGY COURSE. FROM UNABLE STARTED WEB DESIGN. THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO. AP COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES REVIEWS A LOT OF THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WEB DESIGN SKILLS ARE MORE PARALLEL, AS ARE REQUIRED WITH YOU GO BEFORE. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SITUATIONS WITH THE SCHEDULE OPENINGS THAT YOU COULD. TAKE THE OTHER ONE, AS WELL. GET A MASTER SCHEDULE TOGETHER THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO FIT THESE CLASSES. PLUS THEY MUST NEED THIS MATH CLASS AND THIS LANGUAGE CLASS FITTING EVERYTHING IN IS ALWAYS A

CHALLENGE, AS WELL. >> FANTASTIC, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. I HAVE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME. I AM SO VERY HAPPY THAT I DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. FROM WHAT I WANT TO ECHO THAT.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING OUT. THANK YOU FOR THE PROGRAM. I MENTIONED IN MY COMMENTS BEFORE WITH THE RELATIONSHIPS AND THE SMALL AREAS. HEARING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT YOUR SECOND AND THIRD LAST SLIDES. I CAN IMAGINE THE RELATIONSHIPS THE KIDS BUILD WITH EACH OTHER AS WELL AS THE TEACHERS AND THE DATA PROGRAM SO I WOULD LOVE TO COME TO YOUR AWARDS NIGHT. TELL ME WHEN IT IS.

>> EXCUSE ME, MY FIRST QUESTION IS REALLY QUICK DEMO WHAT COLOR ARE THE COURTS? THAT WAY WE CAN RECOGNIZE YOUR GRADUATES A

GRADUATION. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS . I BELIEVE HOURS ARE PLATINUM, ACCORDING TO JOSTENS.

HOURS ARE PLATINUM. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SILVER OR GRAY.

PLATINUM IS OUR OFFICIAL COLOR.

>> PART OF GRADUATION . >> SOME OF THEM OF ALL THE DIFFERENT CHORDS. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT I REALLY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. DO YOU HAVE A FEEL FOR WHEN YOUR

[02:10:08]

EXISTING STUDENTS? >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE SENIORS GET TO DO AT THAT AWARDS NIGHT, WHICH IS REALLY FUN TO LISTEN TO. IT IS STANDARD IN ENGLISH. WHAT THE PLANS ARE FOR THE FUTURE. IN THE BACK AND WE HAVE A SLIDE WITH WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO. WE SEE SOME STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEGAN A BUSINESS AND ARE GOING INTO WORK FOR THEMSELVES. WE SEE QUITE A FEW STUDENTS THAT END UP WITH A VARIETY OF PATHWAYS AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN ALL SORTS OF PLATFORMS WITH A FEW DIFFERENT STUDENTS COME BACK FROM THE PROGRAM AND OTHER PARTS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL. THE OTHER CAREERS THEY HAVE HAD, AS WELL.

NOT QUITE AS DIRECTED MENTOR SHIP WITH WORKING WITH US AS MUCH AS WOULD BE AMUSING. STUDENTS GO TO ALL DIFFERENT OPTIONS FROM THE FOUR YEAR SCHOOL TO COLLEGE TO WORKING TO

SOME EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. >> FANTASTIC, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. I WILL JUST ECHO WHAT THE OTHER SAID. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ACADEMY UNTIL THIS PRESENTATION. I FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING BY JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS THAT IT EXISTS. NOEL HAVING THESE ACADEMIES WITHIN LARGER HIGH SCHOOLS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO REALLY BE A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS FEEL SUPPORTIVE AND SAFE. I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE NUMBERS IN TERMS OF ARE YOU ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL OF THE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO BE A PART OF THE ACADEMY?

>> GENERALLY. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE TIME SURE FLUCTUATES. AT THIS POINT, ESPECIALLY AFTER COVID, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT DURING COVID ITSELF WHERE RECRUITMENT WAS CHALLENGING AT THE TIME GETTING PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE WITH THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR BEING SO UP IN THE AIR ANYWAY THERE WERE CHALLENGES WITH THAT. WE HAVE SEEN RANGES BETWEEN 45 TO 50 APPLICATIONS AND THEN SLIGHTLY FEWER APPLICATIONS I THINK THERE ARE A LOT MORE STUDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN IT AND WOULD ENJOY IT. THEY WOULD BE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE QUICK TO SIGN UP VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THEY HAPPEN TO BE DOING. WE TRY TO COMBAT THAT WHICH AS WE CAN. IF WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE 30 APPLICATIONS AND 30 POTENTIAL SPOTS, MORE OF A PROCESS OF SITTING DOWN WITH A STUDENT AND A COUNSELOR IN COMMUNICATING WITH PARENTS, AS WELL. TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT IT IS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF COORDINATING A PROGRAM LIKE THAT, THERE ARE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AND PATHWAYS FOR SUCCESS USUALLY WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING, I MAY TELL PEOPLE WE NEED TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT HERE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. I NEED TO MEET THE GRANT REQUIREMENTS.

USUALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT FIND THAT THERE OTHER PATHWAYS THAT MAY BE MORE DIRECTLY RELATED THAT MAYBE THEY DID NOT EVEN REALIZE ROUTE THERE. WE CAN MORE DISTRIBUTE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PARENTS AS IT AP STUDENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THAT FULL HONORS TRACK EVERY YEAR THERE AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR APPLICATIONS WITH A STUDENT LOADED INTERESTED IN EVERYTHING. THEY GO TO THE SCHEDULES TOGETHER. YOU KNOW? THERE ARE ONLY SOME THE OPTIONS.

[02:15:06]

>> JUST GOING TO ECHO MY GRATITUDE FOR BOTH OF YOU OVER THE YEARS BUT A LOT TONIGHT, AS WELL. I'VE SEEN IT BE VERY POWERFUL AS A COLLECTIVE IN A WAY THAT OTHER THINGS ARE NOT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE WORK. AND I LOVED THE POSITIVE PRESENTATION ABOUT EXTRA HELP TO PARENTS. THAT STUCK OUT TO ME. THAT IS AN EASY SPIN THAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I THINK IT IS PROBABLY EASIER TO DIGEST FOR PARENT, AS WELL. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT WAS GREAT CONDITION. YOU CAN GO AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR EVENING. I'M

SURE YOU HAVE TO GET UP EARLY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I

APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. >> THANK YOU. NEXT UP,

[C. Instructional Services - Approval of New High School Core Literature Title - They Called Us Enemy]

>> WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING FORWARD A TITLE THAT IS BEING RECOMMENDED BY OUR INCREDIBLE ENGLISH TEACHERS. THIS IS A TITLE FOR THE NINTH GRADE, "THEY CALLED HIS ENEMY". WE HAVE ADDED 19 MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL TITLES WRITTEN BY AN AUTHOR AND FEATURED BY A MAIN CHARACTER OF THE REPRESENTATIVE GROUP. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE NEXT TITLES TO COME. OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS WE BRING FORWARD THIS TITLE TO THE NEXT BOARD OF EDUCATION VIDEO AS DISCUSSED.

THE SUBSEQUENT MEETING, JUNE 5TH. WITH THE BOARD ACTION. TWO NOTES, THE TITLE IS AVAILABLE AT THE THOUSAND OAKS LIBRARY.

IT IS AVAILABLE AT HIGH SCHOOL MAIN OFFICES AND THE EDUCATIONAL CENTER. AND IT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE RELATION COMMITTEES AND CURRICULUM ADVISORY COUNCIL.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH >> THANK YOU FOR THIS PARTICULAR TITLE AND ALL OF THE TITLES AND THE CONTINUING COMMITMENT OF OUR ENGLISH TREATMENT WITH MORE DIVERSIFICATION TO OUR CORE PROGRAM AND PARTICULARLY EXCITED TO ADD ANOTHER TYPE THAT IS A GRAPHIC NOVEL. SO,

THANK YOU. >> THE TIMING OF BRINGING IT.

>> I TAKE IT BACK. >> THANK YOU FOR THE APPROPRIATE -- BRINGING THIS THROUGH MAY WITH THE API HERITAGE MONTH. I THINK IT IS TREMENDOUS. I LOVE WHAT THIS BOOK REPRESENTS. SO, THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> MOVING ONTO OFFICES APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO BOARD POLICY 6177. SUMMER SCHOOL LEARNING PROGRAMS.

>> THE UPDATES TO THIS BOARD POLICY ON SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAMS JUST REFLECTS CSP GAMBIT LANGUAGE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS TIME AS WE'S APPROACH SUMMER SCHOOL COMING OUT TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. JUST TO NOTE LAST YEAR OUR SUMMER RUN PROGRAMS, THE LAST NUMBER WAS 2244 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING LAST YEAR. AGAIN, THE UPDATED LANGUAGE --

>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> FOR MY OWN LEARNING AND CURIOSITY. HOW OFTEN DO WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT LISTED THAT ARE NOT LISTED IN THE PRIORITY BULLET ENTERING INTO THE LOTTERY AND ACTUALLY GETTING A SPOT. USUALLY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD IN MANY YEARS. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL THE LAST TWO YEARS.

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT, WHICH IS AWESOME. THAT IS TARGETED STUDENTS WITH REMEDIATION WHO NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT PRIOR TO PERFORMANCE IN ENGLISH. WE HAVE NOT YET HAD OTHER ADDITIONAL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE FOR OUR PROGRAMS.

[02:20:08]

>> I KNOW THE POLICY ALLOWS THAT OPTION THAT EXISTS.

>> YOU HAVE IT YET? >> NO, WE DO NOT.

>> SO, I WOULD LIKE US TO CONSIDER MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE IN THE LANGUAGE IN THE MAIN PARAGRAPH ON PAGE ONE. I AM A LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE WITH CHARACTERIZATIONS OF LOW ACHIEVING STUDENTS AND SO ON. IF WE NEED TO PUT RATIONALE, I THINK WE COULD POTENTIALLY TALK ABOUT RECOGNITION WITH A DISCONTINUITY OF LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES MAY HAVE IMPACTS.

I AM NOT SURE THAT WE NEED THAT AT ALL. I THINK THE GOVERNING BOARD DESIRES TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE SUMMER FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE. THE POSITIVE INTERPRETATION OUT

THERE. >> THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS? I THINK WE TAKE OUT THE FIRST THAT REPRESENTS AN EXTENDED BREAK MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT -- TAKE THAT OUT ENTIRELY INTO THE GOVERNING BOARD DESIRES TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> THAT IS FINE WITH ME. YEAH, I THINK THAT IS TOTALLY FINE.

LISTED THERE IN THE POLICY. >> GOOD PICS. WE HAVE CONSENSUS. ANYONE ELSE? GREAT. SEEING THEN, WE ARE AT ITEM 5D.

[D. Instructional Services - Approval of Amendments to Board Policy 6177 - Summer School Learning Programs]

>> WE ARE WAITING FOR SOME INFORMATION TO COME IN. THAT HAS BEEN BUMPED. AT SOME POINT IT WAS ON THE AGENDA.

>> OKAY. I GOT MY REVISED, REVISED SCRIPT. THAT IS GREAT.

[A. Future Board Topics / Activities]

TOPICS AND ACTIVITIES. >> I GOT ONE. REALLY MORE FOR THE FALL. I WOULD LIKE A PRESENTATION THE POLICIES, THE PROCESSES AROUND DUAL ENROLLMENT, CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT. PROTECTED DUAL ENROLLMENT. DEFINITIONAL. THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE SERVED ON A PARTICULAR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS BESIDES THAT. ANY FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ON THESE COURSES AND THEN THE BOARD POLICIES TO DISCUSS THESE CLASSES. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THAT MYSELF. I SEE THAT ACROSS THE BOARD. SO ADDED TO THE LIST.

HOW ABOUT I TURN ON MY MICROPHONE. SEEING NO OTHER AGENDA ITEMS. WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 8:24
