          BEFORE THAT. GIVEN WHERE WE STAND WITH THAT ENROLLMENT, WE DON'T PERCEIVE ANY USE FOR IT. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER YOU PURPOSE FOR IT. ADVERSITIES, CHILDCARE CENTERS, BEING REPURPOSED AT SOME POINT IN TIME. I THINK IT IS A CONVERSATION FOR THE COMMITTEE.

THE STUDENTS ARRIVE IN A BUS. 
          SINCE WE DON'T SEE THEM, WE GO TO THEM. WE OFFER PROGRAMS FOR PARENTS, AND ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS. FOR US, A FAMILY IS NOT JUST THE BIOLOGICAL FAMILY. IT IS JUST AN EXTENDED FAMILY.

GIVE SOME MEANINGFUL INPUT IN EACH OF THESE MEETINGS. WE WILL SEND THEM HOME WITH A MESSAGE. 
          [00:45:43]
          >> ENGAGEMENT AS WELL. THE MESSAGE HERE, IS THAT WE HAVE DISTRICT STAFF. WE HAVE TRUSTEES, WE HAVE PARENTS, WE HAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THAT WAS OUR CONFERENCE. PARENTS, FROM OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS FROM OUR STORIES, AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE MOVING THIS PROGRAM. FOR THAT, WE ALWAYS HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN. ENGINEERING, AGRICULTURE, ROBOTICS. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, PROVIDED FOR US. THOSE NO WORRIES ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO WATCH MY CHILD WHEN I GO TO THE CONFERENCE. WITHOUT OFFERING SOMETHING FOR PARENTS AND SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN. I WANTED TO PUT THIS POSTER, IT WAS DECIDED BY ONE OF THE DAUGHTERS. SHE IS YOUNG. SHE HAS TO PUT UP WITH ALL OF THESE IDEAS. SHE IS VERY PATIENT. SHE IS AN ARTIST. WE ALSO HAVE THE 24 TOURNAMENT. IT WAS CHALLENGING. THEY ENJOYED THE CHECK AS WELL. THIS YEAR WE TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THERE ARE SOME PARENTS, THEY WERE SET UP AS ENTREPRENEURS. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. THEY WERE SETTING UP TABLES FOR THEM. THEY DID FIRES FOR THEM AND BUSINESS CARDS. IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT FOR THE CONFERENCE. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T SEE. AND IN DETAILS. EVERY CONFERENCE HAS THAT VARIED WE PROVIDED COLORED PENCILS. THIS IS THE THEME OF THE CONFERENCE. WE ASKED THEM TO DO IT TOGETHER AT HOME. THEY CAME UP WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS, THEY REALLY WANTED TO EXPLAIN WITH THE FAMILY CAME TO CONSENSUS, AND WHAT GROUPS DID AND MEANT TO THEM. THIS WAS AMAZING. KEEP UP IN THE LITTLE GIRLS IDEA. THAT IS SO INTENSE, LOOKING AT THE PICTURES THAT THEY HAD TO COMPLETE. THE KINDERGARTNERS WERE RUNNING ALL AROUND. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HAD A CROWN IN THEIR HAND, OR A PENCIL. IT IS COVERING ALL OF THE WEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND HOW MUCH, THEY CAN DO, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT WITH THIS STRONG SALVATION. EVERYBODY IS CAPABLE. EVERYBODY HAS TO RELEASE COVER. ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO. THAT IS THE WEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. THAT IS THE WEALTH OF PARENTS AND FAMILIES. WE ALSO HAVE THE BILINGUAL FAMILY AGENCY. THIS 
          [00:50:04]
IS ALL COMING WITHIN US. DIFFERENT SCHOOLS ARE DOING IT. 
          THIS IS FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE YEAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE AT EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS. THIS IS PART OF THE IN ACTIVITIES. WE ALSO DO THE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH CELEBRATION. IN THE NEXT ONE, WE CELEBRATE CULTURE. WE CELEBRATE DIVERSITY. WE GO TO PROGRAMS. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SCIENCE AND MATH ACADEMY. 
          >> PRESIDENT? MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY ACADEMIC FORMATIONS AND SCIENCE. THIS SCIENCE PROGRAM, IS VERY DEAR TO OUR HEARTS. DESIGNED TO GIVE THEM ENHANCED ACTIVITIES. NEXT-GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS. WITH THE ENGINEERING PART. WE DESIGN, YIELD, TEST, AND MODIFY OUR PRODUCTIONS. THE IDEA, WE KNOW STUDENTS THAT KNOW SCIENCE. 
          THEY BECOME CRITICAL. THEY BECOME PROBLEM SOLVERS. THEY LOVE DOING HANDS ON. THEY WILL LEARN SCIENCE BY DOING SCIENCE. 
          THIS YEAR, WE ARE ALSO ADDING SOME HANDSOME UTILITIES, FOR THESE STUDENTS. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN THIS PROGRAM. HE WILL BE 29 NEXT WEEK. IT GIVES ME PERSPECTIVE FOR THE STUDENTS. I'M REALLY THANKFUL. IN THIS PROGRAM, WE HAVE THE LOVE FOR TEACHING. THE LOVE FOR 
          LEARNING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU CAN SEE THE KIND OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE. FIRST-CLASS MICROSCOPES. 
          FIRST-CLASS STEREO MICROSCOPES. WE HAVE A FABULOUS NIGHT ON WEDNESDAYS AND THURSDAYS. WE HAVE ABOUT 45 GOLDEN TEARS. 
          CONEJO, HAS A LOT OF PEPPERDINE PROFESSORS, THAT COME FROM MALIBU. WE HAVE TO START A LITTLE BIT LATE TO GIVE THEM TIME. WE HAVE LUTHERAN PROFESSORS. WE HAVE WESTLAKE VOLUNTEERS. THOUSAND OAKS STUDENTS. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, SMALL WORLD OUT THERE. ALL KINDS OF THINGS. LOOK AT HIM. 
          WAITING FOR THE STUDENTS. THEY HAVE SECRETS. THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT THEY TALK ABOUT. THEY READ TOGETHER. 
          THERE IS ALWAYS A TEACHER. MONETARY BEHAVIOR. AT THE END, THEY GET TO PLAY GAMES. THEY ALSO GET A MEAL EVERY NIGHT. WE ALSO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY RESOURCES. AND I NAME A FEW RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE ASSISTANCE. THIS IS TO GIVING. 
          RECEIVING THE CHRISTMAS SHOP. LENSCRAFTERS. AND OF COURSE, NOW WE ARE FAMOUS. WE SIGN UP. WE CAN DO MANY THINGS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE FOUNDATION. THEY ARE WONDERFUL. DOING ALL OF THESE LITTLE DETAILS, THAT WE WANT TO GET. THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR US. WE WON $1000. THANK YOU SO MUCH. NOT ONLY FOR THE ACTIVITY, BUT AS A TEAM. WE CHANGED THE LYRICS OF THE SONG. 
          IT WAS A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. MOSTLY TO SEE YOU TAKING THE DANCE FLOOR, AND ALL THIS PEOPLE SUPPORTING, THAT WAS UNEXPECTED. IT WARMED OUR HEARTS. THANK YOU. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER. WE HAVE DIFFERENCES IN OUR TEAM. 
          SOMETIMES, THE DIFFERENCES WE RUN BY RESPECT. THIS IS IN 
          [00:55:02]
SUPPORT OF EACH OTHER. THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A STRONG TEAM. WE ALSO DO SURVEYS AND FEEDBACK. AFTER THIS LAST CONFERENCE, THIS GUIDES US WHERE TO GO. WHAT IS WORKING, WHAT IS NOT WORKING. HOW DO PARENTS FEEL? WE NEED THAT TWO WAY FEEDBACK. 
          WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THIS, DON'T THINK THAT WE ONLY PUT TWO CHOICES. DID YOU LIKE THE CONFERENCE, OR DID YOU LIKE IT A LOT? THAT WAS IT. WE DID HAVE MORE. THAT WAS THE RESULT. WE CAN SEE WITH THE MAJORITY OF PARENTS ARE INTERESTED IN. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO THAT WE HAVE MENTIONED THAT WERE BETTER THAN STANDING FOR ME RIGHT HERE AS I WAS SPEAKING. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY ACCENT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU ALL HAVE SUPPORTED US SO MUCH. MY TEAM, THE PARENTS, THIS IS WHAT YOU DO IT FOR. THEY HAVE GRADUATED. THEY'RE GRADUATING FROM OUR ENGLISH PROGRAM, AND FROM OUR LITERACY PROGRAM. EXAMPLES OF THE COMMUNITY, THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE. ON THE PERSONAL SIDE, THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME UP TO MORE THAN I CAN BE. 
          >> YOUR ENTHUSIASM, HAS ALWAYS BEEN INCREDIBLY INFECTIOUS. ALL OF YOU, DO SUCH AMAZING WORK. YOU ARE NOT DONE YET, 
          EVENTUALLY. >> THE TIME IS NOW. 
          >> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR WHOLE TEAM. THE MERGE, STUDENTS, FAMILY, SCHOOL, CLASSES, WITH FUN, IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE TO SEE. MAKES EVERYBODY FEEL WELCOME. I HAPPENED TO WITNESS IT LAST NIGHT, WITH A TREMENDOUS SERVICE. IT ENRICHES OUR 
          COMMUNITY, WHAT YOU DO. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR COMING. YOU REALLY BROUGHT OUT THE MOMENT OF REINFORCEMENTS. I WILL ECHO WHAT PRESIDENT GOLDBERG SAID. 
          ENTHUSIASM, I WISH WE COULD MODEL IT. YOUR PASSION IS OBVIOUS. YOU ASKED THE QUESTION IF THERE WAS A QUESTION AND YOUR VISION. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY AFTER WATCHING THIS PRESENTATION, YOU ARE MORE THAN DELIBERATE ON YOUR VISION. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM IN PLACE. I'M THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THE TITLE I FUNDS THAT CAN SUPPORT THIS. I THINK A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT SO MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THANK 
          YOU. >> I WANTED TO SAY THAT WE HAVE GREAT SUPPORT FROM THE HEAD GUIDANCE. THEY SUPPORT US. WE HAVE A LOT MORE TO ASK FOR. ONE STEP AT A TIME. 
          >> I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. >> THANK YOU, TO THE ENTIRE OUTREACH TEAM. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US HERE TONIGHT, FOR ALL YOU DO EVERY DAY. I WILL BE LOOKING AT YOUR CELEBRATORY EVENTS OVER THE YEARS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT REALLY IS SO MEANINGFUL FOR OUR FAMILIES, AND STUDENTS. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          >> THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE? WHEN YOU SAY PARENT OUTREACH PROGRAM, I THINK WHEN YOU JUST HEAR THAT, YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT ENTAILS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT AND WHAT YOU HAVE JUST GONE THROUGH AND SHARED WITH US, IT IS JUST REALLY AMAZING. 
          IT HAS SUCH A DEEP IMPACT ON SO MANY FAMILIES. ALSO, OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY OVERALL. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT WORK. 
          [01:00:05]
          >> AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I DON'T THINK I HAVE REALIZED QUITE HOW MUCH THE OUTREACH PROGRAM DOES. IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE INTEGRAL TO THE FAMILIES THAT YOU SERVE. THEIR LIVES ARE GOING TO GO ALONG. THANK YOU TO OUR DEPARTMENT FOR THE EQUITY. THIS IS THE LONGING. THESE ARE HOW THE FAMILIES CONNECT THEMSELVES. THANK YOU. I GOT TO SIT ALONGSIDE THEM LAST NIGHT. THANKFUL FOR THE ACADEMY, AND FOR EVERYONE COMING TOGETHER. YOU CAN SEE, EVERYONE WANTED TO 
          BRING FOOD. THANK YOU. >> I'M JUST GOING TO ECHO THE GRATITUDE. I'M GOING TO ECHO THIS FOR A LONG TIME. MOSTLY BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ENERGIZER. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU SAID A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE WANT TO DO IT ALL. CLEARLY, YOU DO. I HAVE FORGOTTEN A FEW THINGS ON THAT SLIDE. YOU TALK ABOUT BEING VIBRANT. YOU TALK ABOUT IT BEING VIBRANT AND SUPPORTIVE. 
          CLEARLY, YOU ARE ALL VERY VIBRANT AND SUPPORTED. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT PEOPLE FEEL. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO ORGANIZE THOSE PARKING LOT CONVERSATIONS THAT WE ALL KNOW ARE THE ONES THAT GET THINGS DONE. THAT'S AMAZING. YOU GUYS DO TREMENDOUS WORK. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE THE FUNDS IN THE SUPPORT OF THE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION. ALL OF THE OTHER WAYS THAT YOU FUN RACE. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE QUEEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU DO THE WORK WITH HER. 
          SHE'S THE FIRST TO GIVE CREDIT TO ANYBODY WHO HAS DISSIPATED. 
          THAT IS TRULY GREAT LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          >> I WOULD JUST ADD, SMILE, ENERGY, GREAT HUGS, THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT. SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY WELL. 
          >> IT COMES FROM THE HEART. >> IT IS OBVIOUS. THANK YOU 
          [B. Instructional Services - Presentation: Update on Artificial Intelligence (AI)]
          ALL. >> WE ARE NOW AT ITEM 5 B. 
          PRESENTATION AND UPDATE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. 
          PRESENTED BY DR. GARCIA. TECHNOLOGY OR ON SPECIAL 
          ASSIGNMENTS, --. >> WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT UP. 
          WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE SCHEDULE. 
          >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT GOLDBERG, DR. 
          MCLAUGHLIN, FROM HIS OF THE BOARD, EXECUTIVE CABINET, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING. I'M JOINED HERE BY MS. TIFFANY GARCIA THIS EVENING. WE ARE HERE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. WITH CVUSD. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS UP HERE AND WE TALKED ABOUT A.I> A LITTLE BIT -- A.I., A LITTLE BIT. TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED, AND MOVING FORWARD ON THIS. AGENDA THIS EVENING, WE ARE TALKING A LITTLE BIT WHY WE ARE DOING THIS, WHY WE ARE USING A.I. IN EDUCATION, WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE BENEFITS AND SOME OF THE RISKS. SOME OF THE RECOMMENDED SITES. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE ARE USING FOR IMPLEMENTATION. LET'S LOOK AT WHY WE ARE USING A.I. IN EDUCATION. ONE REASON IS, IT DOES SUPPORT US IN PROVIDING 
          [01:05:02]
SOME PERSONALIZED LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS. CAN IT PERSONALIZE TO A STUDENTS HOBBY INTEREST? NOT WITHOUT INPUT FROM A TEACHER OR STUDENT. KENNETH THINK FOR ITSELF? NO. IT CAN PERSONALIZE THINGS IN TERMS OF A STUDENT THAT APPEARS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH A PARTICULAR CONCEPT. THE ALGORITHM CAN CHOOSE SUPPORTS FOR THAT STUDENT, TO HELP THEM CATCH UP. ALL RIGHT? ENHANCED STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, SOME OF THE TOOLS THAT MRS. GARCIA IS GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE, INCLUDE THINGS LIKE BEING ABLE TO CREATE A HOOK FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A LESSON. I REMEMBER A CLASS THAT I HAD. I WANT TO SAY 25 OF THEM WERE BAND STUDENTS. WE WERE TEACHING TRIGONOMETRY. WHY DO I CARE? WE SPENT A CLASS PERIOD TALKING ABOUT TRIGONOMETRY BEHIND MUSIC. EVEN THE KIDS WHO WERE BAND STUDENTS, THEY WANTED TO LEARN MORE. TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT CAN PROVIDE SOME OF THAT INFORMATION, AND REALLY GET A TEACHER GOING, CAN REALLY HELP YOU INCREASE ENGAGEMENT. 
          IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES. THAT CONSTANT PERSONALIZE LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT. RIGHT? IF WE ARE EFFECTIVELY FILLING IN STUDENTS, AND WE ARE INCREASING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, RESEARCH SAYS WE HAVE INCREASED STUDENT OUTCOMES. EFFICIENT AND ADMINISTERED TASKS, A.I., IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS. IS NOT GOING TO MAKE OUR JOBS ALL THAT EASIER. IT CAN CHANGE THE WAY THAT WE WORK. IT CAN CHANGE HOW WE FOCUS SOME OF OUR ENERGIES. WHEN WE FOCUS SOME OF OUR ENERGIES ON BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE, SOMETIMES, THIS IS ON SOME MUNDANE THINGS. YOU CAN NEVER STOP READING STUDENT PAPERS, FOR EXAMPLE. AS GOOD AS THESE TOOLS GET, IT MAY NEVER WORK THAT WAY. GLOBAL ACCESS, MORE AND MORE, I CAN HEAR DISCUSSIONS AT BOARD MEETINGS. WE HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND OTHER MEETINGS ABOUT STUDENTS ACCESSING ONLINE COURSES VARIED WHETHER THEY ARE GETTING CREDIT FOR THEM OR NOT. WHETHER THEY ARE ACCESSING THEM TO LEARN. ACCESSING THINGS FROM ALL OVER. 
          IN THE TERMS OF THE FUTURE PROVING STUDENTS, THIS IS IN THE CASE OF TEACHING THEM TO USE TOOLS EFFECTIVELY, SO THAT WHEN THEY ENTER THE WORKFORCE, WHEN THEY GO TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, THEY ARE PREPARED TO DO THAT. ALL RIGHT, A FEW THINGS THAT IT IS, AND IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS NOT, I AM JUST GOING TO HARP ON A COUPLE. ONLINE, IN-STORE SHOPPING. WHO HAS RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY SEE ONLINE? AMAZON, YOU SHOP FOR SOMETHING, THEN IT FOLLOWS YOU OVER THE INTERNET. RIGHT? WE HAVE SOME OF THAT. CREDIT CARD FRAUD PROTECTION. FROM MY BANK. ASKING ME IF I WAS REALLY THE ONE WHO CHARGE SOMETHING ON MY CREDIT CARD. FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE FIND A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH, WITH VIDEOCONFERENCING. WE MAY HAVE A TRANSLATOR FOR SPANISH, OR A TRANSLATOR FOR WHATEVER THE MOST OFTEN USED SECOND LANGUAGE IS. WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A TRANSLATOR FOR EVERY POSSIBLE LANGUAGE THAT OUR FAMILY WAS SPEAKING. THIS CAN GIVE THEM EITHER VERBAL TRANSLATIONS, OR YOU CAN GIVE THEM SUBTITLES. IT IS NOT SMARTER THAN US. IT IS NOT SKYNET. IT IS NOT JUST FOR SMART PEOPLE. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES, A.I., MAKES ME SEEM SMARTER THAN WHAT I AM. I LOVE THAT ABOUT IT. WE CAN HELP DIFFERENTIATE TO SOME EXTENT. OKAY? WHEN STUDENTS ARE GIVEN JUST THE RIGHT LEVEL, JUST THE RIGHT READING LEVEL, JUST THE RIGHT DIFFICULTY LEVEL, SO THAT THEY CAN BEGIN TO STRETCH THEMSELVES. RIGHT? THESE SOFTWARES CAN HELP US DO THAT. 
          EDUCATION WITH A.I., IS NOT REPLACING TEACHERS. I WAS IN VEGAS WITH MY FAMILY FOR A FEW DAYS OVER THE SUMMER. WE WERE WITH A DRIVER. THE DRIVER WAS TALKING ABOUT BEING WORRIED THAT A.I., AND ELON MUSK, WAS GOING TO REPLACE HER WITH VEGAS 
          [01:10:02]
TUNNELS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC EDUCATION. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NERVOUS ABOUT REPLACING? NOT IN OUR LIFETIME. 
          THAT MAKES SENSE. IF THE STUDENT IS USING A.I. TO RIGHT THE ESSAY, AND THE TEACHER IS USING IT, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT? SHE'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW? IF A.I. IS DOING ALL THE WORK FOR THE STUDENT, AND ALL THE WORK FOR THE TEACHER, IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO. IN TERMS OF LEVERAGING IT, WE HAVE SOME INEQUALITIES OR SKILL GAPS. TALK ABOUT SKILL GAPS. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES. SOME OF THESE THINGS CAN BE AS EASY AS PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH ACCOMMODATIONS AND ON-THE-FLY TRANSLATIONS. PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH LEVEL GREETINGS. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN A LITTLE WHILE. PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH RIGHT THE RIGHT DIFFICULTY. BEING ABLE TO ADJUST THE CURRICULUM, THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE WHERE A STUDENT NEEDED TO BE, CAN BE A POWERFUL THING IF IT IS USED WELL. WE ARE GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT ETHICAL CONCERNS. ETHICAL CONCERNS, REALLY ARE A BIG ISSUE WITH CURRICULUM THAT WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER FOR TEACHERS TO USE WITH STUDENTS. ISSUES WITH CHOOSING THE RIGHT A.I. TOOLS. ISSUES WITH IMPLEMENTING IT. THIS IS IN THE CLASSROOM, AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL. REALLY, WHAT IS THE RIGHT BALANCE FOR THAT? THIS IS REALLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STRIKE OVER THE LAST YEAR. AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON. 
          BENEFITS, INTELLIGENT. WE TALKED ABOUT PERSONALIZE LEARNING. INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS. THERE IS A NUMBER OF A.I. CHAT ROBOTS OUT THERE, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ANSWER STUDENT QUESTIONS. OKAY? SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ANSWER STUDENT QUESTIONS ABOUT A SPECIFIC CURRICULUM, SPECIFIC TOPIC. AND, IT IS THE ALGORITHM. IT IS DESIGNED TO ASK QUESTIONS. 6+2 = 34. WHEN YOU ARE SOLVING IT, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP. STARTS TO WALK STUDENTS THROUGH THAT PROCESS. 
          AUTOMOTIVE AND INNOVATIVE ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS, SOME OF THOSE THINGS, NOT REALLY PROVIDING FEEDBACK FOR STUDENTS. YOU WOULD BE AMAZED. YOU HAVE A MATH TEST, AND OPEN RESPONSE. IT IS OPEN RESPONSE IN TERMS OF A NUMBER. YOU TAKE THE QUESTION. SOME STUDENTS RIGHT MIGHT 7.0. SOME STUDENTS RIGHT 14-2. PRIOR TO A.I., WE WOULD HAVE TO LIST OUT EVERY POSSIBLE CORRECT ANSWER. WHEREAS, A.I., CAN DETERMINE THE EQUIVALENT TO THAT. IN THOSE TYPES OF ANSWERS, IN THOSE TYPES OF QUESTIONS, WHEN STUDENTS ARE ANSWERING THOSE, THOSE ARE THE ONES AS A TEACHER THAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE THE MOST FEEDBACK ON NECESSARILY. IT IS THE OPEN RESPONSE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN YOUR THINKING QUESTIONS. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE MORE FEEDBACK ON. YOU CAN HAVE THEM AUTOMATE SOME THINGS FOR YOU. ENHANCED ACCESSIBILITY, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, CREATED TOOLS. AUTO, OR A.I. GENERATED IMAGES. AUTOMATED GENERATED VIDEO. JUST THE OTHER DAY, I WATCHED A SHORT VIDEO, FROM A CLOTHING DESIGNER. INSTEAD OF HAVING FASHION SHOWS, THEY MADE MODELS. THEY ARE GOING TO START USING A.I. GENERATED MODELS TO SELL THEIR COMPANY. SOME OF OUR RISKS, SOME OF THE RELIANCE, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR DISCUSSION WITH THE DRIVER, POTENTIALLY DECREASING IN SPONTANEOUS TEACHING MOMENTS. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE CREATIVITY FROM TEACHERS. WE WANT TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING THAT IS A SUPPORT. NOT FOR THEM. OVERLOOKING INDIVIDUAL STUDENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND NEEDS. A.I. ALGORITHMS, CAN CHOOSE WHAT TOPIC A STUDENT IS 
          [01:15:01]
MAYBE STRUGGLING WITH. IT IS NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT THE STUDENT IS INTERESTED IN. UNLESS A TEACHER TELLS THEM. IT IS NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT 30 STUDENTS IN THAT PARTICULAR CLASS WERE BAND STUDENTS. LEARNING ABOUT THE TRIGONOMETRY OF MUSIC. I NEED A LESSON WARM-UP THAT DISCUSSES THE TRIGONOMETRY OF MUSIC, AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. AND HOW IMPORTANT THE CONNECTION IS. IT CAN BEGIN TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTENT. TO GET YOU STARTED. OVERUSE, TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING, IS NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING. PASSIVE CONSUMERS, AGAIN, THE STUDENT IS USING A.I., TO GENERATE THEIR ENTIRE ESSAY. THE TEACHER IS USING A.I. TO GRADE IT. NEGLECTING QUALITATIVE FACTORS. AGREEMENT -- ALGORITHMIC -WISE, WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT. BIG THING ABOUT ALGORITHM BIAS, IS TO REMEMBER THAT THESE TOOLS, THEY BUILD ALGORITHMS BASED ON THE INFORMATION. THIS IS FED BIASED INFORMATION. IT IS GOING TO HAVE BIAS. I'M PUTTING THE OPINIONS RIGHT HERE IN THE COURSE. MY HUSBAND IS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER. HE SPUN UP A.I., ON AN OLD GAMING PC THAT HE HAD, AND PUT IT ON OUR NETWORK. HE PROCEEDED TO FEED IT LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT FISHING. HE TAUGHT AT THAT THOSE WERE THE ONLY TWO WORTHWHILE HOBBIES. I GOT ON IT, AND I STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS, ABOUT THE NOTRE DAME SCORE RIGHT NOW. IT SAID, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPORTS? HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT 15 METER ANTENNAS INSTEAD? THAT'S WHAT IT SPIT BACK AT ME. SO, I GIVE YOU THAT AS A SILLY EXAMPLE. IF YOU COMPARE THAT TO WHAT CAN HAPPEN, IF IT IS BEING FED INFORMATION THAT CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE, OR CERTAIN TOPICS, CERTAIN OTHER THINGS ARE NOT AS EQUAL TO OTHERS. RIGHT? YOU CAN EXPAND THAT OUT, TO REALLY SEE THE LEVEL OF BIAS THAT WE CAN HAVE. THE REALITY IS, THE INTERNET AS A RULE, IS NOT FULLY REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WORK WITH. IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE PUT THE INFORMATION IN ON THE INTERNET. 
          OKAY? UNEQUAL ACCESS TO A.I. TECHNOLOGIES, IS ONE OF THE NICE THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE. WE DO HAVE A ONE-ON-ONE PROGRAM. 
          WE ARE HELPING TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THESE TOOLS, TO STUDENTS, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY -- FRAMEWORK. 
          WHEN WE TALKED A YEAR AGO, WE TALKED ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT WE WERE PLANNING TO HAVE. WE TALKED ABOUT NEEDING SOME POLICY UPDATES. WE HAVE MADE SOME DRAFT POLICIES. WE HAVE UPDATED THOSE. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY A FEW ITEMS DOWN ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION. WE TALKED ABOUT TEACHER TRAINING. 
          PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO EQUIP EDUCATORS. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT SOME CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT. INCORPORATING A.I. 
          CONCEPTS, DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP. PROVIDING THE READY-MADE MATERIALS SO THAT TEACHERS CAN TAKE YOU ON THE RUN WITH THEM. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT ESTABLISHING ETHICAL GUIDELINES. 
          ESTABLISHING CLEAR GUIDELINES FOR EVERYONE IN THE CONVERSATION. PROVIDING RESOURCES, ON WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE USE, AND WHAT MAY NOT BE. SINCE ONE YEAR AGO. WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR STEPS FORWARD. COLLABORATION, WE HAVE KEPT PEOPLE AT THE CENTER OF THE CONVERSATION. WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSION FROM THE SITE LEADERS, TEACHERS, TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE, ARTICULATIONS. WE HAVE DRAFTED SOME POLICY UPDATES. WE DESIGN MATERIALS, AND WE HAVE BEGUN SCHEDULING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. IN TERMS OF OUR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE DESIGNED AND PREPARED FOR DISTRIBUTION RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS, MATERIALS THAT ARE READY TO GO. IN TERMS OF ETHICAL GUIDELINES, WE HAVE BEGUN TO PUT TOGETHER THE 
          [01:20:01]
COMMUNICATION FOR THOSE THINGS. WE HAVE ALSO GONE TO PUT TOGETHER PARENT RESOURCES. WE ARE WORKING TO BUILD A WEBPAGE FOR A DISTRICT WEBSITE, TO INCLUDE THINGS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO ACCESS OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. CONSIDERATIONS. 
          WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THESE THAT ARE REALLY WORKING WITH FOLKS ON, AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR. 
          I WANTED TO GIVE YOU HOW WE ARE CHOOSING IT. WE DON'T USE ANY SOFTWARE THAT WE RECOMMEND IN THIS DISTRICT BY CHANCE. 
          WHETHER IT IS A.I., OR NOT. WE HAVE HAD A PROCESS TO EVALUATE SOFTWARE. WE HAVE HAD TIMES WHERE WE FOUND THAT PROCESS OVER THE YEARS. THE VERY FIRST THING THAT WE LOOK AT, WE READ DATA PRIVACY POLICIES. WE READ USER AGREEMENTS, WE READ CONTRACTS. WE CHECKED TO SEE AT LEAST MINIMALLY, THAT IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL PRIVACY LAWS. 
          CALIFORNIA, IS ACTUALLY ON THE FOREFRONT OF MOST STATES IN THE U.S. REGARDING DATA PRIVACY EXPECTATIONS. EVERYTHING FROM SELLING STUDENT DATA, NOT PROVIDING TARGETED ADVERTISING IN AN EDUCATIONAL PLATFORM. A LOT IN BETWEEN. WE REALLY CARE ABOUT PROTECTING OUR STUDENTS DATA. THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT BEFORE WE IMPLEMENT A NEW PIECE OF SOFTWARE. WE LOOK AT USAGE OF STATE AND -- STUDENT DATA BY SAMPLES. IN TERMS OF THE A.I. PLATFORM, ARE THEY USING THE DATA TO TRAIN THE CURRENT -- A.I. MODEL? IS IT BECOMING PART OF THEIR SOFTWARE? WE REALLY TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. WE DON'T WANT THE STUDENTS DATA GOING ANYWHERE. SECURITY RISKS. WHAT ARE THE SECURITY PRACTICES? DO THEY ADHERE TO THE CURRENT STANDARD OF SECURITY? AND SECURING THEIR DATA. WHAT IS THE DOCUMENTATION ON THAT LOOK LIKE? WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALGORITHMIC BIAS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IN ORDER TO REALLY TEST FOR THIS, THE WAYS THAT WE LOOK AT IT, WE LOOK AT HOW NUMBER ONE, WHAT DID THEY USE TO TRAIN THEIR MODELS? SEVERAL OF THE PLATFORMS THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT, THEY ACTUALLY USE CALIFORNIA APPROVED CURRICULUM TO TRAIN A.I. MODEL. WHILE WE MAY NOT LIKE EVERY PIECE OF CALIFORNIA STATE CURRICULUM, WE AT LEAST KNOW THAT IT IS SOMEWHAT IN LINE, WITH HOW WE WORK IN EDUCATION AS A STATE. EASE OF USE. IT IS NOT EASY TO USE. 
          PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO USE IT. IF IT DOESN'T MAKE THEIR LIVES A LITTLE BIT EASIER, OR IF IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE WAY THEY WORK A LITTLE BIT, IT'S NOT HELPFUL. INTEGRATION INTO THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS, ONE OF THOSE, DOES IT INTEGRATE WITH CANVAS? CAN WE ROSTER IT WITH CLASS LINK? CAN WE CONNECT WITH OTHER THINGS, ONCE WE HAVE LOOKED AT THOSE THINGS UP ABOVE? CAN WE CONNECT IT WITH OTHER THINGS? IN ORDER TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO USE. ARE WE DOING THIS WHOLE DIFFERENT THING OVER HERE? THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING ELSE. IS THIS DESIGNED TO EDUCATIONAL USE? THIS GOES BACK TO THE OTHER THINGS. IF THIS WAS DESIGNED FOR EDUCATIONAL USE, IT IS LIKELY TO HAVE AN ALGORITHM BIAS THAT WE DO NOT LIKELY WANT. IT IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE EASY TO MAKE THEM USEFUL. ASSIST TEACHERS WITH DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. I THINK ALL OF YOU ARE AWARE, IN RECENT YEARS, CREATING THOSE HOOKS, CREATING THOSE ASSIGNMENTS, CREATING THOSE INGREDIENTS, THAT IS A BIG DEAL FOR US. ALLOWING THE DIFFERENT MODES OF REFORMATIONS. THAT IS A BIG 
          [01:25:04]
DEAL TO US. MRS. GARCIA, GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE SPECIFIC TOOLS THAT WE HAVE GOT. 
          >> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TONIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO OVER WHAT MY JOB IS TO HELP THE TEACHERS. 
          >>>AND THAT THEY USE ONE OF THESE A.I. TOOLS TO RE-CREATE THEMSELVES, DURING THAT TIME IN THE GOLD RUSH ERA. VERY EXCITING FOR THEM. REALLY IMMERSE THEM IN TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. JUST ANOTHER WAY TO BRING IN CREATIVITY IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY, THAT ENCOURAGES YOUR STUDENTS TO BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE LEARNING. MAGIC SCHOOL A.I., IS ANOTHER TOOL THAT IS SIMILAR, IT IS AN EASY TO USE PLATFORM, AND FOR TEACHERS, IT IS FREE RIGHT NOW. WHICH IS REALLY WONDERFUL FOR US. IT ALLOWS TEACHERS, THE SAME WAY -- DOES, IT HAS A LOT OF PROMS THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM. YOU GO FROM THERE, AND YOU ADD THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED. 
          STARTING TO ADD SOME A.I. TOOLS . THIS COMES INTO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TAX. THIS IS WHAT THE DOCTOR WAS SPEAKING OF EARLIER. THERE IS THIS NEW TOOL. PERFORMATIVE AND ASSESSMENTS AVAILABLE, AND NOT ALL THE TIME, ARE THE QUESTIONS GOING TO BE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. THEY ARE JUST THE ONES THAT ARE IN THAT ACTUAL PROGRAM. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET MORE SPECIFIC. ASK THE CHAT BUT WITHIN, TO ASK WHAT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR STUDENTS THROUGH THOSE ASSESSMENTS. WHICH IS A REALLY NICE TOOL TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALIGNING YOUR CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. SPARK STUDIO, IS A NEW PROGRAM THAT WAS JUST RELEASED. WE USE IXL AS A DISTRICT. WHICH IS FANTASTIC. IT IS A NICE WAY FOR TEACHERS TO EASY ACCESS. IT IS RIGHT IN THEIR PROGRAMS ALREADY. THESE TWO HERE, ARE DASHBOARDS THAT TEACHERS WILL SEE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE WAY IT LOOKS WHEN TEACHERS ACCESS IT IN THEIR CAMPUS ACCOUNTS. SPARK STUDIO, THAT IS THEIR TOOL LIBRARY. THAT IS HOW DASHBOARD WILL LOOK FOR THEM. AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL OF THE WIDGETS ARE CLICKABLE PROMPTS THAT YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON. 
          CHOOSE WHICH TOPIC YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, AND YOU CAN SAY WITHIN THE TOOLS, WE HAVE THE CLASS SUMMARY. THIS ONE IS EXCITING. I TRIED IT OUT. YOUR STUDENTS AND YOURSELF, ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER WITH THIS ONE. I ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO THAT ONE YET. THIS IS A FUN TOOL FOR YOU TO USE. REHASH WHAT YOU LEARNED IN CLASS. RIGHT? YOU GET ALL OF THE INFORMATION. TELL YOUR STUDENTS TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS YOU CAN. PUT ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IN THERE. GIVE IT A MEAN TOPIC, AND IT CLICKS OUT THIS WONDERFUL POEM, AND IT PULLS OUT THIS WONDERFUL LESSON OF THE DAY. IT REITERATES WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH. 
          YOU ALSO HAVE THE IDEA OF USING EXIT TICKETS. I'M GOING AT THIS LESSON. OUR KIDS GETTING IT, OR NOT? IT IS NICE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE. LET ME CREATE THE EXIT TICKET. I CAN QUICKLY ASSESS WHAT THEIR LEARNING IS. I CAN DETERMINE IF I NEED TO GO FURTHER, AND DEVELOPED WHAT WE ARE DOING, OR TAKE A STEP BACK AND SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THAT WAY. DIFFERENTIATE WHEN WE COME BACK AND MEET. WE HAVE SPARK STUDIO. SPARK STUDIO. THIS IS 
          [01:30:08]
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AT PROMPTING. IT IS NOT A CHAT BOT. IT ALREADY HAS THOSE PARAMETERS SET AND IN PLACE FOR YOU OF WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE USING. FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE, I CHOSE THE TECH STAFF HOLDING. -- SCAFFOLDING. PASTE IT INSIDE OF THERE. PASTE THAT INSIDE. CLICK GENERATE. WHAT THAT IS GOING TO DO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. WHICH IS REALLY NICE. AS A BUSY SECOND GRADE TEACHER, I WISH I COULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HAVE STUDENTS IN MY CLASSROOM THAT WERE NOT READING ALL OF MY WORDS, LET ALONE THEIR SOUNDS. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE ALL OF THAT HAPPEN, AND YOU ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT ALL OF YOUR STUDENTS, A LOT OF TIMES, ON THE LOWER END, THEY LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. THEY ARE SO FAR BEHIND, THEY ARE NEWER NEVER DOING ANYTHING THAT ANYONE IN THE CLASS IS DOING ANYMORE. THE TEXT IS GOING TO BE TAUGHT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CLASS. THEY GET THE SAME CONCEPT TAUGHT TO EACH OTHER. THEY CAN ALL DISCUSS IT TOGETHER. WE CAN CREATE MORE OF THAT LEARNING EXCITEMENT WHEN WE ARE IN THE CLASSROOM. IT BREAKS DOWN THE VOCABULARY, SO THAT WE CAN REALLY SCAFFOLD THAT TO THE STUDENTS WHO NEEDED MORE. IT PROVIDES AN INTRODUCTION FOR YOU. YOU CAN GET PRE-TEACHING IN. IT IS TOO HARD TO GET THAT IN. IT BREAKS DOWN THE LEVELING. YOU CAN EVEN REQUEST THAT YOUR LEVELING GETS BROKEN DOWN TO DIFFERENT LEVELS. SO THAT ALL OF YOUR STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE MOST INFORMATION OUT OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO TEACH. ONE OF THE THINGS I'M GOING TO BE DOING, I'M PART OF CREATING THOSE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR TEACHERS. I AM GOING TO BE DOING THREE IN PERSON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR A.I., FOR TEACHERS. I HAVE ONE SCHEDULED IN DECEMBER. I HAVE ANOTHER ONE SCHEDULED IN JANUARY. WE HAVE A FOLLOW-UP FOR TEACHERS IN JANUARY. WE CAN ENSURE THAT ALL TEACHERS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN PERSON, IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO MEET, TO USE THESE TOOLS RESPONSIBLY, ETHICALLY, AND WHAT ACCESS THEY HAVE TWO THESE TOOLS. I HAVE ALSO CREATED A SYNCHRONOUS COURSE IN CANVAS. THIS COURSE IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED BY ALL TEACHERS AS WELL IN THE DISTRICT. THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS OF THAT SYNCHRONOUS COURSE THAT I WILL GO OVER IN A MINUTE THAT THE TEACHERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO. ALL MATERIALS THAT THEY MAY NEED, MATERIALS THAT THEY ARE USING FOR A.I., THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME IN THEIR CANVAS COURSE. THEY HAVE ALSO CREATED A RESOURCE REFERENCE PAGE FOR TEACHERS. THIS IS GOING TO HAVE LINKS TO THE SITES THAT ARE APPROVED TO USE. 
          IT HAS LINKS TO THE SYLLABUS LANGUAGE THAT WE WANT TEACHERS USING WHEN THEY ARE PASSING OUT THERE SYLLABUS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. IT HAS INFORMATION FOR PARENTS. IT HAS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP LESSONS. STUDENTS WHO ARE IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY. IT HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR TEACHERS, SO THAT THERE ISN'T ANY WAY THAT A TEACHER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT IT IS WE HAVE TO OFFER. THIS IS THAT A SYNCHRONOUS COURSE THAT I WAS MENTIONING. I HAVE TWO PORTIONS. I HAVE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF A.I.. IT WILL GET INTO OTHER PORTIONS, SUCH AS MAGIC SCHOOL, AND USING THE GOOGLE GEMINI. OTHER TEACHER A.I. TOOLS THAT ARE APPROVED FOR USE. WE WANTED TO STATE THAT THE INTRODUCTION AND RESPONSIBLE USE MODULES, ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED USE MODULES BEFORE THEY CAN ACCESS THE OTHER CONTENT. SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT TEACHERS ARE BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF A.I.. IN THE UNDERSTAND WHAT A.I. IS, HOW WE SHOULD BE USING IT, AND NOT GETTING TOO LACKADAISICAL WITH IT. THAT IS 
          IT FOR ME. THANK YOU. >> BEFORE WE GET TO QUESTIONS, IF I COULD JUST ADD TWO THINGS. SOME APPRECIATION TO DR. 
          GARCIA. FIRST THING I WANTED TO SHARE, I THINK JUST TO FRAME THE SCOPE, OF WHERE WE ARE, RELATIVE TO OTHER DISTRICTS, WITH WHAT WE ARE SEEING, STATEWIDE AND NATIONWIDE, THERE ARE A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES. I THINK WE CAN REALLY SPEAK TO A LOT OF WHAT THOSE POSSIBILITIES ARE. SHE IS AN EXPERT. WHICH IS SO GREAT. I AM NOT AN EXPERT. ALTHOUGH, THERE ARE DEFINITELY A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES WHEN IT COMES TO A.I., OUR DISTRICT IS 
          [01:35:03]
REALLY TAKING A PRUDENT AND CAUTIONARY APPROACH TO THIS. 
          THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS, RECENTLY CAME OUT WITH A DOCUMENT, PROVIDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH GUIDANCE, MAKING SURE THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOT USING THE A.I. PLATFORMS, IN WAYS THAT ARE INHERENTLY DISCRIMINATORY. WHEN I READ THROUGH THE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THESE A.I. PLATFORMS, THAT COULD LEAD TWO DISC AMATORY PRACTICES, I WAS GRATEFUL TO BE VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THESE EXAMPLES. SOME OF THESE EXAMPLES WERE A.I. SCHEDULING AND ENROLLMENT SOFTWARE. 
          PREDICTED ANALYSIS IN MISSION SOFTWARE. PREDICTED DISCIPLINE. 
          TEST PROCTORING USING FACIAL RECOGNITION AND EYE TRACKING. 
          CLASSROOM NOISE MONITORING. BEHAVIORAL TRACKING AND PREDICTING DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS FOR SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SUPPORTS. 
          THOSE ALL BEING A.I. THINGS OUT THERE. I WOULD SAY FOR US, ARE NOT THINGS THAT ARE CERTAINLY PART OF THIS CONVERSATION, OR WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, HOW DO WE USE A.I. AS A TEACHER TOOL? ONE OF MANY TOOLS THAT ARE TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS USE? HOW DO WE WORK ON MEETING STRUCTURAL GOALS? HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTION, PROVIDING MULTIPLE MEANS OF ENGAGEMENT, REPRESENTATION, ACTION, AND EXPRESSION. SUPPORTING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN THAT LEARNING. 
          TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS, AS THE DRIVERS OF THAT. NOT THE OTHER 
          WAY AROUND. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT ADDENDUM TO THE PRESENTATION. ANYBODY THAT KNOWS -- KNOWS NONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED WHATEVER BE ALLOWED HERE. THANK YOU BOTH. I WILL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS, 
          COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES. THIS IS A VERY FAST-MOVING TOPIC. WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE EVERY DAY PRETTY MUCH. MY QUESTION, WHAT IS THE MECHANISM THAT WE STAY ON TOP OF? WE ARE TALKING A LOT ABOUT TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WHAT IS THE FEEDBACK LOOP FROM OUR TEACHERS BACK TO US, IN TERMS OF THEIR SUCCESSES, AND ISSUES THAT THEY FACE? THIS IS HOW THEY ARE USING IT. THEY ARE FEELING HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE USED. A LOT OF IT IS CENTERED AROUND ASKING -- I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD BACKING. THEY ARE REALLY EAGER, TO SAY, WHAT IS GOOD? HOW CAN WE USE THIS TO HELP LEVERAGE STUDENTS? WITHOUT BECOMING COMPLACENT IN OUR TEACHING. WE HAVE SUCH DEDICATED ADMINISTERS. HAVING CONSULTED OTHER STATES, NOT EVERYONE HAS SUCH DEDICATED EDUCATORS. THAT WE DO. HOW DO I HELP MY STUDENTS BECOME ETHICAL USERS OF THESE TYPES OF PLATFORMS? THEY WANT TO PREPARE THEM FOR LIFE AFTER K-12. HOW DO WE LEVERAGE IT TO BE WITH THINGS THAT ARE HELPFUL? THAT'S WHERE THE PD IS COMING IN. HOW DO I COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS ABOUT IMPORTANT TOPICS? THAT'S WHERE SOME OF OUR RESOURCES HAVE COME FROM. REALLY, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE, THIS IS THE EDUCATOR RESPONSE THAT THEY 
          NEEDED TO KEEP UP. >> FLIPSIDE OF THE QUESTION, WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT FROM THE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT A.I.. CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION HAS PUT TOGETHER A LOT OF MATERIAL RESOURCES. PART OF WHAT THEY DID, THEY PULLED A NUMBER OF STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. ASKING THEM ABOUT THEIR CURRENT 
          [01:40:02]
USAGE, AND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, IN TERMS OF A.I. 
          IN SCHOOLING, AND BEYOND. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT ARE WE DOING IN TERMS OF GETTING INFORMATION FROM OUR OWN 
          EVIDENCE? >> WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THUS FAR TRYING TO DO, IS GET SOME INFORMATION TOGETHER, THAT PERHAPS OTHER DISTRICTS ARE USING WITH STUDENTS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MRS. GARCIA AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER THIS WEEK, NOW THAT WE HAVE A BASELINE AND A DRAFT, AND WE HAVE WITH SOME OF THESE DRAFT THINGS ARE, NOW WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? I THINK MY ANSWER FOR YOU, WE JUST HAVEN'T QUITE GOTTEN THERE YET. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT -- A STUDENT VOICE IS CERTAINLY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE A STUDENT OR MEMBER. WE HAVE THOSE IN PLACE FOR A REASON. I THINK IT IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR ALONG 
          YET. >> THANK YOU. YOU HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT. I AM NOT TRYING TO MITIGATE ANY OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU. I THINK MY QUESTION, SORT OF FOLLOWS AWFUL TRUSTEE SYLVESTER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREAT PRESENTATION. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES. ONE YEAR FROM NOW, WE ARE GOING TO BE SAYING THE SAME THING. THIS IS SUCH A FAST MOVING AND CHANGING TOPIC. RIGHT? I KNOW LOOKING AT SOME OF WHAT IS OUT THERE, THERE IS SUCH A RANGE OF WHAT IS OUT THERE. RELATED TO A.I. EDUCATION, AND WHAT IS HAPPENING. I KNOW EXAMPLES OF DISTRICTS THAT HAVE BEEN INCORPORATING IT FOR A FEW YEARS. EVEN HAVING CTE PATHWAYS, ALL-AROUND A.I., AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. IT IS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE THE RANGE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. I KNOW LOCALLY, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE NECESSARILY HAVE A FRAMEWORK. ONE OF MY THEORIES COMING INTO THIS PRESENTATION, AS I'M LOOKING AT THE THOROUGH FRAMEWORK THAT THEY ARE HANDING OUT TWO DISTRICTS, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING? RIGHT? I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS RELATED TO TRUSTEE SYLVESTER. HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THIS SYSTEMICALLY? IN TERMS OF HAVING A VISION, AND A FRAMEWORK, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE NOT QUITE THERE YET. WE ARE IN THESE INITIAL STAGES OF PUSHING IN. DOING THE TRAINING, SEEING HOW WE GO. MAYBE SOMETIME IN THE NEXT YEAR, MAYBE WE WILL BE READY TO BE MORE VISIONARY AND SYSTEMATIC ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH A.I., HERE IN CVUSD. 
          >> THAT IS THE GOAL. YOU KNOW, WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO DO A BUILDING CAPACITY MODEL. SO THAT OUR STAFF, SO THAT OUR STUDENTS, HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO REALLY HAVE AN OPINION, ON HOW WE ARE GOING TO FORMALLY MOVE FORWARD. THE STEPS WE HAVE TAKEN, WE BEGIN TO UPDATE POLICIES. WE BEGIN TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. HERE ARE SOME ETHICAL BEST PRACTICES PUT OUT BY RESEARCH EXPERTS. HAVING PULLED OTHER DISTRICT ARE DOING, HAVING EVALUATED A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, ONCE WE HAVE THE CAPACITY, LET'S FINALIZE THAT. 
          >> IS THE TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE, ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES WHERE YOU ARE BUILDING CAPACITY SO THAT SOME DECISION-MAKING CAN 
          HAPPEN? >> CORRECT. 
          >> THANKS. >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS AN EXCITING PRESENTATION. AND, YOU TALK ABOUT OUR DEDICATED INSTRUCTORS. WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE DEDICATED INSTRUCTORS. I GUESS MY FEAR, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE A.I. MOVEMENT, HOW ARE THE KIDS GOING TO USE IT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE? I THINK WE HAVE DEDICATED STUDENTS TOO. THEY WANT TO USE THIS ETHICALLY. THEY WANT TO LEARN FROM OUR DEDICATED INSTRUCTORS. THIS SHOWS THE WAY OF HOW OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE INSTRUCTORS, LEADS FROM THE INSTRUCTORS TO THE STUDENTS. HOW WE USE IT TO ADVANCE THEMSELVES. HOW STUDENTS ARE GOING TO COLLEGE. I DON'T WANT 
          [01:45:01]
TO SEE IT. MANY OF OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO COLLEGE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE OUR STUDENTS TAKE ADVANTAGE IN A WAY THAT THEY GET CAUGHT, AND CERTAINLY THE CONSEQUENCES ARE MORE SEVERE IN THEIR LIFE. THE WHOLE IDEA IS JUST EXCITING. THANK YOU FOR 
          YOUR WORK. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS PRESENTATION WAS REALLY TIMELY. REALLY WHAT WE NEEDED, I THINK. 
          WE HAVE REACHED BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR. WE HAVE PUT IT IN CONTEXT FOR HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE. WHAT ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT? THE CHALLENGE, I THINK, IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR SET OF TECHNOLOGIES, COMES WITH A TSUNAMI OF HYPE. IT MAKES IT HARD TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE? HOW DOES THIS CHANGE THE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR EDUCATORS AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR STUDENTS? IS IT BENEFICIAL? WHO BUILT IT? ARE THE EDUCATORS? ARE THEY INFORMED BY EDUCATORS? HOW DOES IT WORK? HOW DOES IT NOT WORK? WE ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS ABOUT CURRICULUM. WE ASK ALL THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT SOFTWARE TOOLS. I THINK THIS PRESENTATION WAS REALLY HELPFUL. PERSONALIZE LEARNING, PERSONS IN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, ARE THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. THAT IS REALLY HELPFUL. I APPRECIATE THE INCREDIBLE RIGOR, WITH WHICH YOU TEST THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU EVEN BRING THEM TO THIS ROOM TO TALK WITH US. I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR WORK. THANK 
          YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. AS A STUDENT, I HAVE REALLY SEEN SOME OF THESE TOOLS AND START TO GET IMPLEMENT IT. STUDENTS ARE REALLY RECOGNIZING THE A.I., BEGIN TO SHOW UP INAPPROPRIATE WAYS. AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS THE VERY EARLY STAGES. I DON'T THINK MYSELF OR ANY OTHER STUDENTS WATCHING REALIZE HOW MANY RESOURCES THERE ARE OUT THERE. REALLY, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK. ESPECIALLY AS A.I. STARTS TO GET INTEGRATED INTO THE DEVICES OF MANY MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL CORPORATIONS . 
          REALLY, IT IS A SKILL THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO HANDLE. 
          GOING FORWARD. IT IS GOING TO JUST BECOME A PART OF DAILY LIFE AT SOME LEVEL OR ANOTHER. OBVIOUSLY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT. AT ANY POINT. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU. I ALSO JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, WITH ALL THE RESOURCES YOU ARE PUTTING OUT THERE, HOW CREATIVE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE BEING WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING THEM. I JUST HAVE A LESSON A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHERE WE HAD BASICALLY AN AP CLASS. AND, THEY WERE GIVEN FEEDBACK. 
          JUST TO FORCE EVERYTHING. ONCE THE TOOLS ARE OUT THERE, WE WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW IT GROWS. THANK YOU. 
          >> WE WILL CONCLUDE THE GRATITUDE HOUR. WE ARE INCREDIBLE -- INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE. 
          LEAVING THE DISCUSSIONS IN THE TEAM. I KNOW THE VIGILANCE WITH WHICH YOU GUARD OUR STUDENTS PRIVACY. I TRULY APPRECIATE IT. 
          YOU DID A GREAT JOB FOLLOWING THE ENTHUSIASTIC. YOUR ENTHUSIASM, IS ALSO INFECTIOUS. YOU KEEP LEARNING. DO THE DANCE. THAT IS GREAT. A.I., KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING EXPONENTIALLY. YOU ARE UP TO THAT CHALLENGE, TO LEARN EXPONENTIALLY. I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU HELP US KEEP UP. 
          BECAUSE IT IS REALLY CHALLENGING. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU FOR THE WORK. IT IS A LOT OF WORK. I KNOW THAT HAD YOU PROGRAM TO THAT MACHINE, AS OPPOSED TO YOUR HUSBAND, WE WOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT HAM RADIO. WE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT LEGOS AND TECHNOLOGY. OR YOUR KIDS. 
          THANK YOU BOTH, FOR ALL THE WORK. IT IS TRULY APPRECIATED. 
          >> I'M GOING TO TAG OFF OF THAT. 
          >> HAS A DOCUMENT, LIKE A POLICY BRIEF. UNDERSTANDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN GOVERNANCE SEEMS, AND WHAT THEY 
          [01:50:01]
SHOULD KNOW. QUESTIONS FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO CONSIDER. 11 QUESTIONS. ONE OF THEM, WHO IN YOUR AGENCY IS QUALIFIED TO EDUCATE US ON A.I.? I THINK CLEARLY, WE HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. THANK YOU. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. IT IS THE TRAINER OF TRAINERS. FOR BOTH 
          OF YOU, WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

          >> NOW, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 5C, INSTRUCTION SERVICES. 
          APPROVAL OF A NEW LITERATURE TITLE. OKAY, AND THE TRUSTEE. 
          >> IT IS PRETTY MAGICAL WHEN THE BOOKS JUST APPEAR. WHEN WE GET TO THE ITEMS. WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD A NEW CORE LITERATURE TITLE. THIS IS PROPOSED FOR THE SEVENTH GRADE. 
          THE TITLE IS WILD OAK, BY CECE HARRINGTON. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROCESS FOR THE SECONDARY CORE LITERATURE. OUR PROCESS FOR CORE LITERATURE, IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR BOARD POLICY. AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS. 6161.1. AS PART OF OUR PROCESS, OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHERS, ARE EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD. THEY GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY POTENTIAL TITLES. WHICH THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE CORE LITERATURE LIST. THEY HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITHIN THEIR INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS FROM THE SCHOOL SITES. IF THE DEPARTMENT IS IN FAVOR AND SUPPORTIVE OF ADDING A PARTICULAR TITLE, THAT TITLE IS NOW PROPOSED AND DISCUSSED AT THE ENGLISH PARK MEETING. THIS IS COMPOSED OF ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT CHAIRS. WHETHER THAT BE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, OR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. IF THAT TITLE IS DISCUSSED, AND IS APPROVED BY THAT ARTICULATION GROUP, IT WILL SCORE TOWARDS THE SECONDARY CURRICULUM ADVISORY COUNCIL. THIS IS A GROUP THAT IS REPRESENTED WITH ALL OF OUR MAJOR CONTENT AREAS. 
          IF IT IS APPROVED, IT IS BROUGHT FORWARD. IT IS BROUGHT FORWARD TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WILL BE PURSUANT TO THE POLICY BROUGHT FORWARD TWICE AS INFORMATION DISCUSSION. A THIRD TIME, FOR A POSSIBLE ACTION BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. THIS PROVIDES EVERYONE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK OUT THE BOOK, TO LOOK AT IT, TO UNDERSTAND IT. MR. FRANK AND I ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE HOSTING TWO VIRTUAL PREVIEW EVENTS, DECEMBER 12, AND JANUARY 19TH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, 2025. IF YOU ARE CURIOUS, THIS TITLE, IS AVAILABLE AT THE THOUSAND OAKS LIBRARY. I CHECKED THREE HOURS AGO. IT IS ON THE SHELF AT THE THOUSAND OAKS BRANCH, AS WELL AS THE NEWBERRY PARK RANCH. WE ALSO HAVE THE TITLE AVAILABLE AT ALL OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL MAIN OFFICES, AS WELL AS THE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL CENTER. IN CASE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO CHECK THEM OUT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SECONDARY CRITICAL -- OF CURRICULUM CORE LITERATURE, YOU CAN GO TO THE CVUSD WEBSITE. YOU CAN CLIMB -- CLICK THAT YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT SECONDARY CORE LITERATURE. IN WHICH CASE, YOU WILL FIND A DESCRIPTION OF OUR POLICIES, THE SUMMARY OF THIS PARTICULAR TITLE, AND YOU CAN SUBMIT A QUESTION. THAT IS ALL. 
          >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR STAFF, FOR BRINGING THAT UP. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE LOOK FORWARD TO 
          THE PROCESS. TRUSTEE? >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, FOR TEACHERS WHO SEEK OUT THESE TITLES. A LOT OF WORK THAT HAPPENS BEFORE I GET TO PUT THE BOOK UP HERE. THANK YOU FOR SEEKING OUT THESE TITLES, THAT WILL GENERATE LOTS OF ENTHUSIASM AMONGST OUR STUDENTS. AND, THE DELIBERATION THAT GOES ON, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET ALL OF THE STANDARDS THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO MEET. I HAVE READ THIS BOOK. I THINK THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL ENJOY IT. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. 
          >> AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK THE TEACHERS. THEY BRING FORWARD THE WHOLE PROCESS. I THINK THIS BOOK IS SPECIAL. IT REFLECTS THE INNER CHILD. THE CHILD THAT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE. A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO READ THIS, THAT ARE GOING TO SAY THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM THINKING EITHER. THEY DON'T RECOMMEND THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO THE STORY. I JUST THINK IT IS FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD.

          >> THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM 5B, DISCUSSION OF BOARD POLICY 
          [01:55:09]
ADMINISTRATIVE 6161.34. STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY. -- 6163.4. 
          STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY. >> WE THOUGHT TO BRING THIS UP TO THE BOARD POLICY 6163.4. ALSO ON THE INITIATION OF STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY. THE BOARD POLICY ALIGNS WITH GIMMICK LANGUAGE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION. THESE UPDATES ARE REALLY TO ADDRESS THE USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY BY STUDENTS, AND IT DOES A REFERENCE, INCLUDING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY, SPECIFICALLY WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE UPDATES TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, THIS IS REALLY OUR STUDENT ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT. THIS IS FORMALLY WITH THE ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY. THE PROPOSAL, IS TO CHANGE THIS FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION INTO AN EXHIBIT. THIS IS PRACTICALLY WITH OUR STUDENTS EACH YEAR. 
          THE PROPOSALS HERE, ON THE ADMINISTERING OF REGULATION, OR IN THIS CASE THE EXHIBIT, IS PART OF THE LANGUAGE. PRIOR ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT, WAS ALSO A LANGUAGE. THE PURPOSE OF THAT, IT REALLY REFLECTS THE BOARD POLICY. IN A MUCH MORE SIMPLIFIED AND COMPREHENSIBLE DOCUMENT. THE GAMUT EXHIBIT, IS ABOUT FOUR PAGES LONG. IN TERMS OF CLARITY, AGAIN, REFLECTING THE BOARD POLICY. WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD IN THIS CASE, LANGUAGE FOR THE 
          >> JUST ONE TINY SUGGESTION. IN THE BOARD POLICY IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH, THE THIRD LINE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THAT PARAGRAPH, WE MENTION ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND I'M SUGGESTING WE MIGHT WANT TO MIRROR THE WAY IT'S FRAMED UP A COUPLE SENTENCES BEFORE, SO THE STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES ARE ALL IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AND IT'S NOT IN A MIX, AND I THINK THAT MIRRORS THE LANGUAGE IN THE POLICY WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT NEXT AS WELL, SO WE'RE ALWAYS SEEING THE AFFIRMATIVE ACADEMIC HONESTY, ACADEMIC HONESTY. 
          >> DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS? I SAW HEADS 
          >> THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT RELATED. THERE'S ALSO A BOARD POLICY, AND MAYBE WE'RE GOING TO BRING THIS UP AT ANOTHER TIME, ON ACADEMIC HONESTY THAT I KNOW GAMUT UPDATED IT MORE RECENTLY THAN WE HAVE THAT ALSO INCORPORATES A.I. LANGUAGE. 
          >> I THINK WE LAST UPDATED IT IN 2018. 
          >> I KNOW WE'RE MAKING SOME CHANGES BUT GIVEN THE CONVERSATION WE'VE JUST HAD, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY BE, AS WE GO WITH A.I. INCORPORATION IN OUR DISTRICT, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL CHANGES AS WE GO FORWARD ON THAT. IS THAT FAIR TO -- 
          >> YES. >> DOWN 
          THE ROAD. >> THAT'S FAIR. 
          I THINK THIS IS, LIKE, A GREAT 
          STARTING PLACE. >> NO, I THINK IT IS 
          TOO. >> RIGHT? AND CERTAINLY OPENS, IN OUR POLICY, NUMBER ONE, THE EXISTENCE OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES, BUT LIKE THE CONVERSATIONS AND THOSE 
          NEXT STEPS. >> SO, ONE QUESTION I HAD ON THE AR, WHICH IS REALLY NOW, I GUESS, PART OF THE POLICY MANUAL. IT'S THE ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT THAT OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WILL SIGN. THAT NUMBER 7 SAYS "I AGREE NOT TO SHARE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WITH AN OPEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM OF THEMSELVES AND OTHER STUDENTS, STAFF, OR OTHER PERSON. 
          " I GUESS MY QUESTION IN READING THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, WOULD STUDENTS OR FAMILIES KNOW WHAT THOSE APPLICATIONS MIGHT BE? LIKE, WE'RE SORT OF ASSUMING THEY KNOW. 
          DO WE CARE? 
          >> DEFINING THAT IS A RESOURCE WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER FOR BOTH STAFF PD AS WELL AS STUDENT AND FAMILY RESOURCES TO BETTER EXPLAIN THAT. 
          >> ARE THOSE WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING ON THE WEBSITE? 
          >> UH-HUH. 
          >> SO, THEN, DO WE WANT TO MAKE A REFERENCE, LIKE, SEE WHEREVER IT LIVES ON THE WEBSITE? 
          [02:00:03]
          >> CERTAINLY. 
          >> AND THIS WOULD BE THE -- IF APPROVED, THIS WOULD BE THE ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT FOR STARTING THE NEXT -- I'M SORRY, THE '25-'26 SCHOOL YEAR, SO THAT WILL CERTAINLY GIVE US TIME TO GET THAT RESOURCE UPLOADED AND READY TO GO. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> QUESTIONS? CONCERNS? GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. 
          DR. MCLAUGHLIN? 
          >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ADDRESS YET FOR THAT WEBSITE, SO AS LONG AS WE MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT TO APPROVE THIS POLICY IN THE NEXT TWO OR POSSIBLY THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, ONCE WE DO GET THAT WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING THAT THE BOARD IS COMFORTABLE WITH US JUST ADDING THAT INTO THE LANGUAGE WITHOUT --

          MS. ASHMORE? 
          >> IT FELT APPROPRIATE TO BRING THIS ONE FORWARD TONIGHT AS WELL. IT IS A GAMUT UPDATE TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE RELATED TO SPECIFICALLY THE APPROPRIATE USE OF A.I. 
          BY EMPLOYEES. IT RECOGNIZES THAT TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES ENHANCE EDUCATION AND STUDENT LEARNING, BUT ALSO REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYEES SHALL REVIEW AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FINAL PRODUCT AND NOT SHARE ANY CONFIDENTIAL STUDENT INFORMATION WITH A THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING AN A.I. APP. 
          AND IT ADDS MATERIAL RELATED TO THE REGULAR REVIEW OF CYBERSECURITY AND DATA PRIVACY. 
          AND AS YOU HEARD EARLIER THIS EVENING, WE DO HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE FOR THE APPROVAL OF ANY A.I. APPS THAT INTEGRATE WITH GOOGLE CHROME, AND WE ALSO HAVE TWO WEB FILTERS ON ALL STAFF DEVICES. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR THIS. I HAD JUST NOTICED THAT FIRST PAGE, THERE WAS A LOT -- SOME CONTENT THAT WAS CROSSED OFF. AND SOME OF IT -- IT SEEMED LIKE THE INTENT WAS THERE'S A COUPLE STATEMENTS AROUND REALLY EXPECTING THAT EMPLOYEES WILL USE THE TECH RESOURCES THAT WILL SYSTEM IN THEIR WORK. 
          AND SO, BY -- I DON'T KNOW. I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THERE WAS A REASONING BEHIND GETTING RID OF THAT LANGUAGE. 
          >> SO, THIS IS STRICTLY A STRAIGHTFORWARD GAMUT UPDATE. 
          THERE'S NO ADDED OR RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE FROM DISTRICT, BUT YOU MAY NOTICE IN THE FIRST SENTENCE WHERE IT USED TO SAY "CAN ENHANCE," THEY'VE CROSSED OUT "CAN" BECAUSE WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT DOES ENHANCE, AND I WOULD SAY AS OBSERVERS AND EVALUATORS OF OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF, WE ARE LOOKING TO SEE WHEN WE'RE IN CLASSROOMS AND IN, YOU KNOW, ANY PLACE WHERE THEY INSTRUCT STUDENTS. 
          ARE THEY EFFECTIVELY USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE INSTRUCTION? TRYING TO MEET STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE LITTLE TECHNOLOGICAL BEINGS AT THIS POINT. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. WELL, AND I'M ASSUMING THERE'S PROBABLY THIS EXPECTATION THAT STAFF÷÷ IS USING TECHNOLOGY, IS INCORPORATED IN OTHER DOCUMENTS. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> AND OTHER SPOTS. 
          >> IT IS. >> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY 
          THAT. >> WITH, OF COURSE, THE SUPPORT AS YOU HEARD FROM DR. SUITOR AND MRS. GARCIA IN LEARNING THE TECHNOLOGY, AND IF WE DO OBSERVE OR EVALUATE A STAFF MEMBER, AND WE FEEL THERE'S A DEFICIT IN THE APPROPRIATE AND BENEFICIAL USE OF TECHNOLOGY, IT WOULD BE ON THE SUPERVISOR TO PROVIDE STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT THAT EMPLOYEE IN UPPING THEIR GAME. 
          >> AND I WOULD NOTE THAT AS THE CHANGE WAS STRAIGHT GAMUT ADJUSTMENTS, IF THERE IS LANGUAGE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE US TO KEEP OR CONSIDER, JUST LET US KNOW, AND WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. IT'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS JUST A STRAIGHT UPDATE BUT IF THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT YOU FEEL IS APPROPRIATE, WE CAN HAVE THAT 
          CONVERSATION. >> THANK YOU. 
          I JUST NOTICED THE CHANGE, AND SO I WANTED THE CLARIFICATION. I DON'T HAVE ANY STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT WHAT HAS TO BE CONTAINED IN HERE. THANK YOU. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN WE BRING STRAIGHT GAMUT CHANGES FORWARD THAT THE CONVERSATION IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO KEEP LANGUAGE THAT IS ELIMINATED IF THE BOARD SO DESIRES TO DO SO.

          >> ITEM 5-F. 
          DR. HAYEK. >> SO, ONE THING A.I. WILL NOT DO IS WATCH YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOU. 
          SO, WE PROVIDE CHILD CARE SERVICES, AND IN KEEPING WITH WHAT WE'VE DONE THE LAST FEW YEARS, I THINK WE FOUND IT VERY HELPFUL, AND I THINK OUR FAMILIES FOUND IT VERY HELPFUL TO PLAN OUT THE NEXT FEW YEARS SO WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THIS EACH YEAR AND THEN HAVE A LOT OF UNCERTAINTIES. SO, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IN THIS GO-AROUND IS FOR THE '25-'26 SCHOOL YEAR, A 5% INCREASE IN CHILD CARE FEES FOR OUR CHILD CARE PROGRAM AND THEN FOR THE -- THE RATE FOR OUR CHILD CARE PROGRAM AT CITY CENTER, WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO EVEN OUT THE RATES WITH OUR CURRENT CHILD CARE RATES. 
          THEY DON'T LINE UP RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, WE WENT THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF A TRANSITION WHEN WE WERE DOING SOME SHIFTING OF CLASSES OVER AT CITY CENTER SO THERE WILL BE MINIMAL CHANGES THERE, BUT IT WOULD JUST LINE UP ALL OF OUR PRICING BETWEEN THOSE TWO PROGRAMS AND THEN FOR '26- '27, '27-'28, WE PROPOSE AN ADDITIONAL 5% EACH YEAR INCREASE IN KEEPING WITH RISING LABOR AND BENEFIT COSTS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE -- WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO OFFER CHILD CARE SERVICES FOR OUR FAMILIES. 
          WE DID DO A COMPARISON. IT IS ATTACHED ON HERE TO OTHER CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WE'RE STILL BELOW MANY OF THEM. WE PROVIDE REASONABLE, AND WE FEEL, BETTER CHILD CARE SERVICES THAN A LOT OF OTHER COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. 
          >> IF YOU RECALL, COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, WE WERE DOWN TO LESS THAN 500 STUDENTS FOR A WHILE, AND WE'RE DOWN TO SERVING OVER 1,400 NOW, SO AMY MILLS AND HER TEAM HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB REBUILDING THAT PROGRAM, EVEN IN THE FACE OF INCREASING ENROLLMENT IN TK AND THE EXTENDING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAMS AFTER SCHOOL THAT TAKE AWAY A LOT OF OUR KIDS FROM OUR TUITION-BASED PROGRAM, AND FINALLY, WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS ISN'T A MONEY- MAKER FOR US. 
          WE DON'T PUT ANY MONEY IN OUR POCKET HERE. 
          WE'RE JUST RUNNING THIS PROGRAM AS A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE LOOKING JUST TO CONTINUE SUSTAINING PROGRAM OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. 
          >> SO, THESE INCREASES HELP US TO BREAK 
          EVEN. >> 
          YES. >> AND I KNOW YOU EXPLAINED WHY THE RATES WERE NOT ALIGNED BETWEEN THE PROGRAMS. SO, THIS FIRST YEAR WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM ALIGNED, THE BIGGEST INCREASE TO FAMILIES WOULD BE 5%? 
          >> NO. IT WILL BE -- 
          >> IT WILL BE MORE FOR SOME. 
          >> RIGHT. 
          >> WHAT'S THE BIGGEST? 
          >> NO, I MEAN, I DIDN'T LOOK AT ALL OF THEM, BUT THERE IS A COUPLE PLACES, LIKE THE TWO DAYS, THREE AND A HALF HOURS, WHERE THE INCREASE TO WONDER TO MATCH UP WITH CVUSD IS ABOUT 25%, AND THEN THE FIVE DAYS,DAYS, THREE AND A HALF HOURS, AND IT'S THE REVERSE TO CATCH UP TO WONDER OR I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE -- ANYWAY, THE INCREASE WOULD BE 10% TO THE CVUSD PRESCHOOL FAMILIES. SO, THERE ARE A COUPLE CASES WHERE IT'S NOT EVEN, AND IT WOULD BE WAY MORE THAN THE 5%. 
          SO, THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN. 
          >> IF THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE, OVER THE YEARS, WE DID INCREASE CHILD CARE BUT NOT THE PROGRAMS AT CITY CENTER, SO THEY WERE LEFT BEHIND AND IT JUST -- IT'S NOT -- THERE'S NO EQUITY -- WE'RE PROVIDING THE SAME SERVICES, JUST IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. 
          >> SO, THE COST STRUCTURE IS THE SAME FOR BOTH IN TERMS OF RATIO OF TEACHERS AND -- I MEAN, IS THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PROGRAMS? 
          >> CITY CENTER IS A STATE PRESCHOOL. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A PARENT PAY PROGRAM THERE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. 
          IT'S VERY HARD TO COMPARE PROGRAMS, BECAUSE THEY'RE -- YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT ARE THERE TWO DAYS A WEEK, THREE DAYS A WEEK, AND YOU KNOW, SOME PLACES ONLY SAY, IF YOU'RE HERE -- YOU'RE FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND IF YOU'RE ONLY THERE FOR TWO DAYS A WEEK, YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR FIVE DAYS A WEEK. WE TRY TO WORK WITH FAMILIES TO TRY TO, WITHIN THEIR SCHEDULES, AS MUCH 
          [02:10:01]
AS WE CAN, WE TRY NOT TO TURN AWAY FAMILIES THAT NEED FIVE DAYS FOR SOMEONE WHO ONLY NEEDS TWO DAYS IF THEY TAKE UP A SPOT, BUT WE DO OUR BEST TO WORK WITH THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          >> AND I DO APPRECIATE LOOKING AT THE SCHEDULE. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF CHOICES HERE, AND I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, YEARS AND YEARS AGO, WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN CHILD CARE, EVERYONE HAS VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF HOURS AND NUMBER OF DAYS, SO THERE'S A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY FORTUNATE. 
          >> YEAH, I THINK -- I HAD A QUESTION. 
          IT JUST FLEW OUT OF MY HEAD. IS IT -- IS IT HARD STAFFING MULTIPLE DAYS GIVEN THE RATIOS THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP? OR DO YOU KEEP THE SAME -- BECAUSE I KNOW THE LICENSING -- 
          >> WE KEEP THE -- STAFFING IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD. WE TRY TO BALANCE THE CLASSES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT YOU KNOW, STAFFING'S STILL A CHALLENGE IN CHILD CARE. 
          WE HAVE A -- A LOT OF TURNOVER THERE, A LOT OF THEM ARE PART- TIME POSITIONS. 
          AND SO, WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND COME OUT, NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE UNHAPPY OR ANYTHING, JUST SCHEDULES CHANGE AND THINGS DON'T WORK OUT, SO WE DO HAVE A HIGHLY -- HIGH LEVEL OF TURNOVER, AND WE STILL, YOU KNOW, FIND SOME CHALLENGES IN STAFFING CERTAIN HOURS AND POSITIONS AND SUCH. WE HAVE GREAT SUPERVISORS OVERSEEING THE PROGRAM. THEY END UP FILLING IN A LOT OF TIMES. AND AMIE MILLS, OUR DIRECTOR, I KNOW, FILLS IN MANY TIMES AS WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE SHORT-STAFFED SO IT IS STILL A CHALLENGE. WE -- WHAT WE PAY IN SALARIES IS -- IT'S HARD TO COMPARE, BECAUSE WHAT WE PAY HOURLY FOR US, YOU KNOW, INCLUDES PENSION AND BENEFITS IN SOME CASES, WHEREAS, YOU KNOW, SOME PRIVATE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS MAYBE PAY MORE PER HOUR, BUT THEY'RE NOT OBLIGATED TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL PENSION AND COSTS THAT WE HAVE TO PAY, SO YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GET PAID A FEW DOLLARS MORE AN HOUR SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT HERE, YOU GET A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF BENEFITS, AND IT'S, AGAIN, A MUCH BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PROGRAM HERE. 
          >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, CONCERNS? 
          >> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          >> THIS WILL COME ON FOR ACTION NEXT WEEK. 
          THIS IS ONLY FOR DISCUSSION NOW. 
          >> AND I THANK YOU FOR THE OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED. WE ARE AT COMMENTS FROM THE 
          [G. Comments - Board of Education]
BOARD OF EDUCATION, TRUSTEE LIGHT. 
          >> GOOD EVENING, CONEJO VALLEY. IT'S NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. 
          THIS MONTH IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE CONTRIBUTIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS, AND SACRIFICES OF NATIVE AMERICANS BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. WE ARE HERE ON SHUMASH LAND AND I HOPE YOU TAKE THE TIME TO EDUCATE YOURSELF. STUDENTS, IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HEAR YOUR REPORTS. 
          THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. THANK YOU, ALSO, TO OUR PANTHER PROWLER STUDENT JOURNALISTS FOR ATTENDING. THANK YOU TO ANN ALVAREZ AND THE PARENT OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR COMING IN TODAY, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING AT CHARITY KARAOKE, AND FINALLY, THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I AM EXCITED TO SEE HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION GOES AS TIME PROGRESSES. AS ALWAYS, IT'S AN EXCITING TIME IN THE CONEJO VALLEY AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES. 
          BEFORE THE MEETING, I JOINED MR. SHANE FRANK IN THE FIRST MIDDLE SCHOOL ADVISORY MEETING OF THE YEAR WHERE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT LEADERS CAME TOGETHER TO DISCUSS CELL PHONES AND THE RISE WITH THE L.A. RAMS PROGRAM. 
          I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STOP BY THE FALL FESTIVAL. 
          I HAD A GREAT TIME SEEING THE CELEBRATIONS AND STUDENTS ENJOYING THEIR TIME TOGETHER, CELEBRATING IN THEIR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND ENGAGING IN COMPETITION. I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING FRIDAY "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS" IN THE CONEJO VALLEY. CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH SCHOOLS ON REACHING SEMIFINALS. THEY WILL BOTH BE HOME THIS WEEK. IT IS AMAZING TO SEE THE STUDENT SPIRIT, AND I ALWAYS LOVE STUDENTS FROM MULTIPLE OF OUR SCHOOLS COMING TOGETHER. I'VE SEEN MANY EXAMPLES OF GREAT OVERLAP BETWEEN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY. LOS CERRITOS HELD A SPORT-A- RAMA EVENT AND ALL THE FAMILIES WERE THERE SUPPORTING THEIR STUDENTS WITH EVERYONE BEING EXCITED ABOUT BEING THERE AND SOCIALIZING AND COMING TO CAMPUS IN THE EVENING. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, I JOINED TRUSTEE GORBACK AT CONEJO ACADEMY'S FRIENDSGIVING, WHICH WAS ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COMING 
          [02:15:01]
TOGETHER WITH GAMES, LAUGHTER, FRIENDSHIP, NETWORKING, IT REALLY WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. 
          CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TEACHER OF THE MONTH, KATE WOOLRIDGE. ENJOY YOUR WEEK OFF, CONEJO VALLEY. THE HOLIDAYS ARE OFFICIALLY UNDER WAY. 
          HAVE A WONDERFUL FOUR WEEKS, AND GOOD NIGHT. 
          >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TRUSTEE GILL. 
          >> GOOD EVENING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE AT SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOL SITES SINCE THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER. AND REFLECTING ON THE INCREDIBLE RANGE OF REALLY MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES AND CELEBRATIONS AND LEARNING THAT TAKES PLACE, I SAW A SPECTACULAR FOOTBALL GAME IN NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM AND THE VERY NEXT NIGHT, I SAW AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OF "NEWSIES" IN A SOLD- OUT PAC. JUST REALLY ASTONISHING ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON THE PART OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS WHO CARE FOR THEM. 
          AND THEN I WAS AT WEST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL WITH TRUSTEE LIGHT AND MY COLLEAGUES HERE. 
          I GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE INCREDIBLE TRADITION THAT IS THE BANYAN PATRIOTIC ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS ALWAYS A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING CEREMONY THAT RECOGNIZES THE SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS, AND FIRST RESPONDERS WHO ARE A PART OF THE BANYAN FAMILY. I APPRECIATED BEING THERE WITH EVERYONE, AND THEN FINALLY, I GOT TO MEET UP WITH MY EARTHS THIRD GRADERS, NOT AT SCHOOL, BUT AT KING GILLETTE RANCH IN THE VISITORS CENTER WHERE WE JUST INSTALLED A NEW INTERACTIVE EXHIBIT ABOUT THE WILDLIFE CROSSING, AND I GOT TO TALK TO THEM IN SMALL GROUPS OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF HOURS ABOUT P-22 AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE -- HAVE ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES HAPPENING RIGHT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CONEJO VALLEY. THIS MONTH IS A TIME FOR GRATITUDE, AND I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP GRATITUDE TO THIS CARING SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND THE WAY THAT IT STANDS UP FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AND LEARN IN OUR SCHOOLS. 
          I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT, SO THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          TRUSTEE POWELL. SORRY. TRUSTEE POWELL. 
          NO? 
          >> I'M HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU ALL, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ARTIST, LAYLA, WHO WAS HONORED TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU TO OUR STUDENT REPORTERS AND OUR WONDERFUL PRESENTATIONS FROM OUR STAFF. HAPPY NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH. 
          THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THIS LAND AND THEIR HISTORY AND TRADITIONS AND CULTURE, AND I HOPE OUR STUDENTS AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS MONTH TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOR LEARNING. 
          I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- WE JUST HAD ELECTIONS EARLIER THIS MONTH. EVERYBODY'S VERY HAPPY THAT THEY'RE OVER. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES UP HERE WHO GOT RE-ELECTED. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE CVUSD HAS CONTINUED STABILITY AND CONTINUITY, WHICH FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIKE RESEARCH AND DATA AND KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, HAVING CONTINUOUS, YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT STABILITY AND THAT CONTINUITY IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR OUR KIDS AND OUR SCHOOLS. SPEAKING OF ELECTIONS, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE WHO ARE STILL PROCESSING THE NATIONAL FRONT, AND I THINK REGARDLESS OF ANYBODY'S INDIVIDUAL STANCE, I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE -- WHO ARE IN FEAR RIGHT NOW AND MAYBE HAVING SOME GRIEF, INCLUDING STAFF AND STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AS I'VE SAID MANY TIMES, I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE PART OF A DISTRICT THAT IS COMMITTED TO CREATING SAFE AND INCLUSIVE SPACES FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO FEELS THEY NEED SUPPORT TO REACH OUT TO A TRUSTED ADULT AT YOUR SCHOOL SITE. 
          THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED STAFF AT OUR SCHOOL SITES AND IN OUR DISTRICT OFFICE WHO SEE YOU AND WANT TO SUPPORT YOU AND WANT YOU TO FEEL WELCOME AND FEEL SAFE BEING HERE AND BEING YOURSELF. SO, I ALSO JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT, NOT REALLY SHOUTOUT, BUT MY -- MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ANY OF OUR CVUSD FAMILIES WHO WERE IMPACTED BY THE FIRES IN CAMARILLO. 
          I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME FAMILIES THAT WERE IMPACTED BY THAT. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY NICE TO BE AT THE "NEWSIES" PERFORMANCE, 
          [02:20:03]
THE THURSDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE, AND ONE OF THE CAST MEMBERS HAD LOST THEIR HOME, AND SO THE CAST CAME OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AND ASKED FOR A COLLECTION FROM THE AUDIENCE TO SUPPORT THAT FAMILY, SO IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE THAT SUPPORT AND THAT CARING IN THE WAKE OF A REALLY -- YOU KNOW, A TRAGEDY. 
          SO, IT WAS A VERY BUSY OCTOBER, BUT I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO NOVEMBER. 
          JUST SHARE ABOUT A COUPLE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE. THE CVUSD BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM HAS RECENTLY HOSTED A COUPLE OF TRULY AMAZING PARENT EDUCATION WORKSHOPS. 
          THE OCTOBER WORKSHOP FOCUSED ON DRUG USE AND ADDICTION. 
          AND THE NOVEMBER WORKSHOP WAS CALLED, I THINK, "RESILIENCE IN GRIEF" AND I KNOW THESE AREN'T NECESSARILY -- THEY DON'T SOUND LIKE HAPPY, UPLIFTING TOPICS, BUT THEY'RE SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THESE WORKSHOPS BROUGHT IN FOLKS WITH EXPERTISE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS, AND THEY WERE INFORMATIVE, THEY WERE THOROUGH, THEY WERE THOUGHTFUL. THE DRUG USE AND ADDICTION WORKSHOP INCLUDED A RESOURCE FAIR, AND THERE WERE MANY AGENCIES THAT WERE PRESENT TO SHARE INFORMATION AND SUPPORT. 
          THANK YOU TO THOSE AGENCIES. THE GRIEF WORKSHOP WAS RUN BY A LOCAL NONPROFIT CALLED CHILDHOOD MATTERS AND THAT INCLUDED HANDS- ON ACTIVITIES THAT ENABLED THOSE PRESENT TO NOT ONLY HAVE SOME CONCRETE AND EASY WAYS TO WORK THROUGH THE GRIEF PROCESS FOR THEMSELVES BUT ALSO TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN. 
          SO, THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN PLANNING THOSE EVENTS, WHO PARTICIPATED IN THOSE OFFERINGS, AND I HOPE ANYBODY OUT THERE LISTENING WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT TO WATCH THE SCHEDULE FOR FUTURE OFFERINGS. 
          THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY VALUABLE. 
          MONDAY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY -- THE PLEASURE OF ATTENDING THE CVUSD TRANSITIONS NIGHT FOR FAMILIES OF STUDENTS WITH IEPS AS THEY LOOK INTO MOVING ON TO MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL. I KNOW THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL EVENT FOR PARENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE INCOMING MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW STRESSFUL THAT IS. 
          IEP OR NOT, IT IS A STRESSFUL TIME. 
          AT LEAST IT WAS FOR ME WITH MY KIDS. LAST NIGHT, I WAS AT SEQUOIA'S FUTURE PARENTS NIGHT AND I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT IF I WERE A POTENTIAL SEQUOIA PARENT, I WOULD BE SO EXCITED AFTER ATTENDING. IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT THE INTENDED EVENTUAL TRANSITION TO THE IBMYP PROGRAM, THE BLOCK SCHEDULE, AND SO MUCH MORE. 
          STUDENTS WERE PART OF THE EVENING. 
          THE SEQUOIA SCHOOL MOTTO IS, "TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES, TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER, TAKING CARE OF THIS PLACE. " AND THEY WORKED TO INFUSE THAT THROUGH EVERYTHING THEY DO, AND I JUST THINK THAT'S JUST A GREAT REMINDER OF ALL OF US, TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES, HAVE OUR SELF- CARE, TAKE CARE OF THOSE AROUND US, AND TAKE CARE OF THE SPACES THAT WE MOVE THROUGH. 
          SO, THANK YOU, SEQUOIA. GO BEARS. 
          AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL. THAT'S IT FOR ME. 
          >> TRUSTEE SYLVESTER. 
          >> THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING AGAIN. 
          AS ALWAYS, THE HIGH SCHOOL REPORT IS COMING HERE AND CONVEYING TO US ALL THE ACTIVITIES THAT TAKE PLACE ON OUR CAMPUSES. 
          IT'S ALWAYS A HIGHLIGHT OF THESE MEETINGS. 
          AND I DO WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM FOR TAKING THE THE TIME TO COME HERE TO KEEP US INFORMED. I ALSO WANT TO THANK TRUSTEE LIGHT FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT, BECAUSE HE IS EVERYWHERE. I SHOW UP AT SOMETHING, HE IS GENERALLY THERE, AND I'M JUST HOPING YOU'RE GETTING YOUR HOMEWORK DONE, MR. LIGHT. AND SLEEP. 
          YEAH. SLEEP WOULD BE IMPORTANT. A COUPLE PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED SEEING "NEWSIES" AT NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL. 
          I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT AS WELL. 
          IT WAS FABULOUS. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT WEST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL DID A PERFORMANCE OF "LITTLE WOMEN. 
          " I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT WITH TRUSTEE GORBACK AND THEY DID A FABULOUS JOB. 
          KUDOS TO THE CAST AND CREW OF BOTH THOSE THEATER COMPANIES AS WELL AS THEIR THEATER AND THEATER TECH TEACHERS. IT REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE PASSION FOR PERFORMING ARTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT. SINCE LAST BOARD MEETING, PAST TWO WEEKS, I ATTENDED THE AFRICAN AMERICAN DOC MEETING AND THE DLAC, DISTRICT ENGLISH LEARNERS MEETINGS. 
          AS ALWAYS, GETTING TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM ENGAGED STUDENTS, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PART OF BEING AN EFFECTIVE TRUSTEE, AND REALLY, TRULY HELPS INFORM MANY OF MY DECISIONS. 
          AND I AM ONCE AGAIN GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF A DISTRICT THAT PRIORITIZES THESE DISCUSSIONS. 
          IT'S BEEN ESPECIALLY INTERESTING HEARING THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND CELL PHONES AND CELL PHONE 
          [02:25:03]
USAGE, AND THE VARYING PERSPECTIVES THAT EACH OF THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS COME TO HAVE, AS WELL AS THE COMMONALITY ACROSS THEM. 
          COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I WAS FORTUNATE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR CTE ADVISORY DAY, THAT IS OUR CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION ADVISORY DAY. 
          IT WAS HELD AT CAL LUTHERAN. I WALKED INTO A VERY, VERY FULL ROOM. I MEAN, EVERY YEAR, THIS EVENT JUST GETS BIGGER AND BETTER. 
          IT BRINGS TOGETHER OUR STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND BUSINESS PARTNERS, ALL FOCUSED ON IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING OUR CAREER TECH EDUCATION COURSES AND PATHWAYS. THE MESSAGE I HEARD WAS THE IMPORTANCE WE ALL HAVE OF PREPARING OUR STUDENTS FOR A CAREER, WHETHER IT'S POST-HIGH SCHOOL OR POST-COLLEGE. AS WAS THE NEED FOR DEVELOPING A PRODUCTIVE WORKFORCE HERE IN VENTURA COUNTY AND KEEPING ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS ENGAGED HERE. SO, I DO WANT TO THANK OUR THREE CTE COORDINATORS WHO PUT THIS EVENT TOGETHER. ASHLEY COOPER, DR. LAURIE LOOKER AND NICK FROM NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO CAME AND PRIORITIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS. 
          VERY QUICKLY, SPEAKING OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, AND CVUSD IS INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE MANY STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESSES, AS WELL AS NONPROFITS, AND OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE HAD MANY OF THEM COME THROUGH AND SPEAK TO US ABOUT IT. ONE I WANT TO QUICKLY HIGHLIGHT TONIGHT IS THE ASSISTANCE LEAGUE OF CONEJO VALLEY, WHICH IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER GROUP. 
          IT WAS VERY BRIEFLY MENTIONED IN ONE OF ANA ALVAREZ'S SLIDES AND PRESENTATION ON PARENT OUTREACH. 
          AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, ANA ALVAREZ, IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING SHE SAID UP THERE, IS ALSO ON THEIR ADVISORY BOARD. 
          THE ASSISTANCE LEAGUE REALLY DOES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK FOR OUR SCHOOLS. 
          THEY SEND VOLUNTEERS INTO SOME OF OUR TITLE I CLASSROOMS, AS WELL AS THEY PROVIDE NEW CLOTHING AND SHOES FOR SOME OF OUR STUDENTS THROUGH THEIR OPERATION SCHOOL BELL INITIATIVE, AND I'M BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE RIBBON- CUTTING OF THEIR BRAND- NEW THRIFT STORE SITE. 
          THE SHOP IS 100% RUN BY VOLUNTEERS, AND ALL THE MONEY THEY EARN GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO OUR SCHOOLS. IT'S A SPACIOUS SITE. 
          IT'S WELL STOCKED. IT'S OPEN THREE DAYS A WEEK AND ALSO RUNS ON AND ACCEPTS DONATIONS, SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GO CHECK IT OUT. 
          I KNOW WHEN MY DAUGHTER COMES HOME IN A FEW DAYS, SHE'S GOING TO WANT TO GO. 
          HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK. I HOPE EVERYONE GETS TO TAKE SOME TIME, ENJOY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEE GORBACK. 
          >> GOOD EVENING. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, AS TRUSTEE LIGHT DID, THAT THIS IS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH. 
          IT IS SO VALUABLE THAT WE WORK, LIVE ON NATIVE AMERICAN ORIGINAL LAND AND TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE THEIR RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, FOR THE COMMUNITY, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN OUR SOCIETIES THAT DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT NOW, MANY YEARS LATER, SO I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT. 
          HAPPY NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH AND LEARN THEIR CULTURE. 
          CONGRATS TO MY TRUSTEE COLLEAGUES,÷÷COLL EAGUES, SYLVESTER, TRUSTEE GILL, ON THEIR FANTASTIC ELECTIONS. 
          THANK YOU TO OUR STUDENT REPORTERS, BOTH THE REPORTERS FROM THE SCHOOL AND OUR STUDENT REPORTERS FROM "THE PROWLER" THAT COVER US SO THOROUGHLY FOR EVERY MEETING. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO ANA FOR HER PARENT OUTREACH PRESENTATION. BUT ALSO FOR WHAT SHE DOES. 
          THANK YOU, DR. SUITOR AND MRS. GARCIA, MS. GARCIA, FOR THE PRESENTATION ON A.I. 
          THAT WAS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. 
          OUR VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS IS EXCEPTIONAL IN THIS DISTRICT. AND A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, I WENT TO SEE THE FALL BAND AND JAZZ BAND CONCERTS. 
          JUST A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS, BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE, THEY ALL COMPETE ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND IN DIFFERENT THINGS, AND THEY ALL ARE SHORT OF DRIVERS TO CARRY ALL -- I MEAN, YOU PICTURE THE BAND, AND YOU GO TO THESE COMPETITIONS, AND EVERYTHING IS SET UP SO NICELY. BUT SOMEONE DID IT. 
          AND SO, THESE PEOPLE NEED -- NEED DRIVERS, TRUCKS, SO PUBLIC SERVICE, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING A FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT GO DOWN, SOMETIMES 
          [02:30:01]
LEAVING AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING, THAT GO TO DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO JOIN THEM OR CALL THEM AND FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE. 
          I WENT TO THE CVHS, I WENT, I GAVE AT THE BLOOD DONATION. THEY TOOK MY BLOOD. 
          THE FUN THING ABOUT -- THE FUN THING ABOUT THIS WAS THEY -- WHEN I WENT, I THOUGHT, OH, THAT'S SO NEAT, THEY HAVE A PROJECT TO RAISE MONEY FOR THEIR OWN -- THEY'RE NOT RAISING FOR THEM. THEY RAISE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE TAUGHT THAT IN THEIR LESSON, AND I JUST THINK THAT'S A SPECIAL LESSON THAT THEY GET THAT YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOOKING FOR WHAT IT DOES FOR ME. I WENT TO THE SYCAMORE FUTURE NIGHT, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, AS A COUNSELOR, I ALWAYS ADVISE MY KIDS, IF YOU WANT -- BECAUSE I HAD CLASSES THAT WERE VERY SMALL -- IF YOU WANT PROGRAMS THAT ARE INTIMATE, CLOSE, SMALL NUMBER, AND WHERE YOU DEVELOP THE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS FOR MANY YEARS, BOY, SYCAMORE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SEEK THAT OUT. SO, IT WAS FANTASTIC TO DO THAT. 
          I LOVE GOING TO OUR DAC S, ALL SIX ADULT ONES AND OUR STUDENT DAC MEETINGS. IT -- I THINK WE, AS A DISTRICT, GET THE INPUT FROM SO MANY PEOPLE -- FROM MORE PEOPLE THAN PROBABLY ANY OTHER DISTRICT IN THE STATE, AND I JUST THINK OUR DACS ARE INCREDIBLE. LOS CERRITOS, AS TRUSTEE LIGHT MENTIONED, HAD A SPORT-A-RAMA ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. 
          THE WEEK WAS OVER. THE FRIDAY NIGHT. 
          BUT THEY HAD TEACHERS THERE. THEY HAD PARENTS THERE. 
          THEY HAD KIDS THERE. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. 
          I JUST THANK, AGAIN, I THINK OUR DISTRICT IS SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH DEDICATED PEOPLE THAT WILL GIVE UP THEIR FRIDAY NIGHT TO BE WITH THEIR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES AFTER BEING WITH THEIR KIDS ALL WEEK LONG. THE -- LET ME MAKE SURE I SAY THIS CORRECTLY -- DIA DE LOS MUERTOS DANCE, SPONSORED BY TIO AND AT CVHS WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THE SETTING, YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL SETTING. EXCEPT FOR THE TEMPERATURE. 
          BUT THAT WAS BEING OUTSIDE, WHAT CAN YOU SAY? BUT IT WAS A FANTASTIC EVENT, AND I APPRECIATE IT. 
          GOING BACK TO OUR VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS, THE SEQUOIA VETERANS DAY SALUTE, THE BAND WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THE CHORUS WAS FANTASTIC. 
          THE WAY THEY PLAYED TOGETHER WHERE THE BAND QUIETED DOWN WHEN THE CHORUS -- I MEAN, YOU COULD TELL IT WAS COORDINATED. 
          IT WAS WELL PRACTICED, AND I JUST CONGRATULATE THEM. YES, AS WAS SAID BEFORE, "NEWSIES" WAS FANTASTIC. THE DANCING, THE MUSIC WAS -- I MEAN, I THOUGHT I WAS WATCHING A NEW YORK BROADWAY SHOW. IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL. 
          SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE PEOPLE. 
          CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ACTORS AND THE PRODUCTION AT WEST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL, AS TRUSTEE SYLVESTER SAID, WE SAW THAT, AND AGAIN, TREMENDOUS PRESENTATION. CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. WOOLRIDGE OF WEST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL FOR BEING TEACHER OF THE MONTH. 
          WE, AGAIN, SAW THE PRESENTATION, "RESILIENCE THROUGH GRIEF." THAT WAS WONDERFUL. 
          I ALSO SAW -- OH, CONGRATULATIONS ALSO TO WEST LIKE HIGH SCHOOL'S WOMEN'S TENNIS TEAM, WHO WON THEIR SOUTHERN SECTION. WE RECOGNIZE -- WE FREQUENTLY TALK ABOUT OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAMS, BOTH TWO OUT OF THREE, GOING TO SECTION FINALS AND DOING SO WELL. WE RARELY MENTION TENNIS, SO I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE OUR TENNIS. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TENNIS TO WATCH. THEY WERE -- THE MATCH TOOK FOUR DAYS. IT STARTED ON FRIDAY. 
          IT ENDED MONDAY. THEY WERE -- IT TOOK OVER 70 MILES BECAUSE THEY STARTED IT, SECTION FINALS WERE GOING TO BE AT RIVERSIDE. THEY GOT RAINED OUT. 
          THEY CAME BACK HERE. I WAS WONDERING, NOW, WHY DID WEST LAKE GET THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING IT AT THE COUNTRY CLUB, UNTIL I REALIZED THEIR OPPONENT WAS A LEAGUE OPPONENT, CALABASAS, AND SO IT WAS LIKE IT WAS MORE CONVENIENT FOR BOTH TEAMS TO BE HERE THAN TO BE OUT IN THE DESERT. SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO WEST LAKE FOR WINNING A VERY HARD-FOUGHT MATCH. REDWOOD STELLAR STUDENT I WENT TO YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY? THE PRESENTATION, AGAIN, WAS BEAUTIFUL. 
          IT EMPHASIZED STELLAR STUDENTS NOT ONLY JUST ACADEMICALLY BUT HOW THEY ARE AS PEOPLE. 
          [02:35:03]
SO, I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE AWARDEES OF THOSE. AND AS WAS MENTIONED, I WENT TO THE CONEJO VALLEY ACADEMY FRIENDSGIVING. WHAT THEY DO IS BRING OUT THAT COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOND THAT IS EXCEPTIONAL, AND IT MAKES SCHOOL JUST A PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PART OF THE COMMUNITY, AND I LOVE THAT. 
          AND ALSO, AS WAS MENTIONED, THE CTE, OUR CTE PROGRAM PREPARES OUR STUDENTS TO GO OUT AND BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING. AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO, I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE THAT PROGRAM ALSO AS MENTIONING THE NAMES THAT ORGANIZED THAT, AND THANK YOU. 
          AND TO EVERYBODY, HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING WEEK. AND ENJOY. IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. THANK YOU. 
          >> THERE ARE THEMES. 
          THE THROUGHLINE OF OPPORTUNITY AND GRATITUDE AND SOME JOY THAT I'M JUST GOING TO PIGGYBACK ON A FEW THINGS, BECAUSE IT'S -- BECAUSE WE ARE ALL EVERYWHERE. 
          THERE'S NOT A LOT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON TO TRUSTEE SYLVESTER'S SHOUTOUT TO THE ASSISTANCE, BECAUSE THEY DO ALSO HELP WITH GLASSES AND ALSO VOLUNTEER IN OUR CLASSROOMS. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM. AND I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE GRATITUDE FOR OUR STUDENT REPORTERS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. THE REPORTERS THAT COME AND REPORT TO US AND THE REPORTERS WHO ARE HERE CONSISTENTLY EVERY MEETING REPORTING OUT. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE. AND HELPING US. 
          ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESSEXPRESS ALL OF OUR GRATITUDE OR MY OWN PERSONAL BECAUSE -- BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ALL SHARE -- FOR OUR TEACHERS, OUR COUNSELORS, MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, CLASSIFIED OF ALL CLASSIFICATIONS, PARA-EDUCATORS, EVERYBODY, BUSINESS SERVICES ON DOWN. 
          NONPROFIT AND BUSINESS PARTNERS, COMMUNITY GUARDIANS, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS, AND SOME OF OUR PETS. IN THIS ERA OF GRATITUDE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO REALLY GIVE AND ECHO THE GRATITUDE FOR THE BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM'S WORKSHOPS. 
          THEY -- AND THE CONEJO VALLEY SCHOOL FOUNDATION FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THAT PROGRAM. THE ONE -- AND FOR COMPUTERS. THE -- THE WORKSHOP ON GRIEF TRIED SOMETHING NEW, WHERE THEY HAD SMALL GROUP PARTICIPATION, WHICH I THINK HELPED IN THE WHOLE CONNECTIVE PIECE OF THE GRIEVING PROCESS, NUMBER ONE, AND NUMBER TWO, THE BUILDING THE COMMUNITY FOR WHICH BREAKTHROUGH IS KNOWN FOR AND CVUSD IS KNOWN FOR ALSO. THANK YOU, DR. 
          CHAMBERLAIN AND THE BREAKTHROUGH TEAM FOR THAT PARTICULAR WORKSHOP, AND I WILL ECHO -- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH OF YOU CAN, MAYBE ALLALL YOU SAID, TRY AND GET TO THOSE WORKSHOPS IF YOU CAN. 
          IF NOT, THEY'RE PUTTING RESOURCES ON THE BREAKTHROUGH PAGE, SO SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS ARE UP, SO YOU CAN STILL HAVE ACCESS. 
          AND LAST, I AM GRATEFUL TO EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A SOLID TEAM, MOVING FORWARD. 
          ALL OF US UP HERE, AND I'M ALSO GRATEFUL FOR MY FAMILY. AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE. 
          [H. Comments - Superintendent]
          >> TRUSTEE SUPERINTENDENT. 
          >> WELL, I'LL KEEP MINE BRIEF. I -- ONE EVENT THAT NOBODY UP HERE WENT TO THAT I AM AWARE OF IS THE ALTERNATIVE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, EDUCATION BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT, OVER ACROSS THE STREET, SO VERY SELDOM DO I GET TO SAY THAT UNLESS SOMEBODY CAME IN AFTER, THAT I WAS AT AN EVENT WITHOUT ONE OF YOU, BUT THAT WAS A GREAT EVENT. OBVIOUSLY, I WATCHED A COUPLE OF THEIR GAMES, AND THEY WALKED AWAY AS THE CHAMPIONS. AND I DID SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OVER IN THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL, THE INTRAMURAL DODGEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP, INTENSE GAME WITH TRUSTEE POWELL. MS. HARRISON WAS THERE, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER STAFF, BUT THEY TAKE THEIR INTRAMURAL SPORTS VERY SERIOUSLY AND IT'S VERY WELL ORGANIZED WITH TROPHIES AND BANNERS AND MEDALS, AND IT WAS ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE TO GO OVER THERE AND SEE THE HARD WORK THAT STUDENTS DO OVER THERE TO GET THE KIDS ENGAGED AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING

6, ADJOURNMENT. FUTURE BOARD TOPICS AND ACTIVITIES. 
          EXCITED TO SEE SOME DATES ON HERE. 
          ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THE LIST? 
          >> THAT'S PRETTY THOROUGH. 
          >> IT'S A PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE LIST. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM. EVERYBODY OVER THERE. AND OUT THERE. 
          >> JUST A QUICK QUESTION. I KNOW, IN JUNE, WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. 
          I'M WONDERING IF THAT WILL BE RETURNING AT SOME POINT, AND IF SO, WHEN FOR CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT COMMITTEE'S CHARGE? 
          >> I DO THINK WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANY INFORMATION TO COME OUT FROM THE STATE BUDGET THAT WOULD HELP DETERMINE SOME OF THE STEPS MOVING FORWARD. ULTIMATELY, I THINK SOME OTHER INFORMATION WITH THE ELECTIONS AND ANYTHING THAT WILL COME FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND THE IMPACT ON US, SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WAIT FOR INFORMATION TO COME IN. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
