[A. Student Services - Presentation: Promoting Positive Student Attendance]

ARE NOW MOVING ONTO SECTION 4 INFORMATION DISCUSSION ITEMS. STUDENT SERVICES PRESENTATION ON PROMOTING POSITIVE STUDENT ATTENDANCE . I BELIEVE THE PRESENTATION IS WITH THIS CHRISTINA HARRISON AND MISS AMBER BOWMAN. DID WE MOVE TOO QUICKLY FOR THEM? I SEE ONE. HELLO. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE

>> GOOD EVENING NUMBERS OF THE BOARD. DR. POWELL, DISTRICT, AMBER BOWMAN AND I ARE HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TALKING ABOUT ATTENDANCE THAT SUPPORTS OUR DATA AND SHARE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO PROMOTE POSITIVE ATTENDANCE IN THE CONEJO . WE KNOW IT'S MORE IMPORTANT FOR LEARNING AND COMMUNITY AND GET KIDS ENGAGED IN SCHOOL. IT'S IMPORTANT THE TK KINDERGARTEN YEARS. IF WE CAN GET KIDS COMING CONSISTENTLY TO SCHOOL , STAYING HOME WHEN THEY ARE TRULY SICK BUT GETTING THEM TO SCHOOL AND NOT TREATING IT LIKE IT'S JUST KINDERGARTEN. KIDS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY ABSENT TK ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ABSENT IN LATER GRADES AND LESS LIKELY TO READ PROFICIENTLY AT THE END OF THIRD GRADE. THAT RESEARCH HAS BEEN CONSISTENT ACROSS THE YEARS. CHRONIC EARLY ACCESS WITH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING. WE KNOW IT AFFECTS ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED STUDENTS MORE AS THEY HAVE LESS ACCESS TO RESOURCES TO MAKE UP FOR LOST LEARNING AT HOME. IT'S BEEN REALLY GRATIFYING, WE WILL SHOW THE DATA IN A MINUTE, TO SEE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE TITLE I SCHOOL OVER THE YEARS WHERE WE SEE THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT IN GETTING KIDS IN THE HABIT OF EARLY CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE. WE KNOW THAT BY SIXTH GRADE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM

[01:45:04]

OR MISSING MORE THAN 10% OF SCHOOL DAYS IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY SIGNS THE STUDENT IS GOING TO DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. BY NINTH GRADE, ATTENDANCE IS A BETTER PREDICTOR OF GRADUATION THAN TEST SCORES. FREQUENT ABSENCE IS A SIGN THAT STUDENT IS LOSING INTEREST IN SCHOOL , DEALING WITH A BULLY OR FACING OTHER DIFFICULTIES. MISSING 10% TWO DAYS PER MONTH OVER THE COURSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR CAN AFFECT THE STUDENT'S ACADEMIC SUCCESS. IT'S ABOUT THE ACCUMULATION OF THE ABSENCES, NOT BEING IN THE CLASSROOM, MISSED INSTRUCTION.

IT AFFECTS THE REST OF THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE THE TEACHER HAS TO CATCH UP STUDENT WHO IS RETURNING AND RETEACH. I SEE MR. COLE NODDING IN THE AUDIENCE. IT AFFECTS, ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL. IF YOU HAVE TO SPEND FIVE MINUTES CATCHING UP ABSENT STUDENT IT'S FIVE MINUTES OF INSTRUCTION THE OTHER STUDENTS ARE BEING DENIED. OKAY, CHRONIC ABSENCE IS MISSING SO MUCH SCHOOL FOR ANY REASON THAT YOU'RE ACADEMICALLY AT RISK. IT CAN BE EXCUSED ABSENCES AT IT UP WITH AN EXCUSE AND PARENTS WILL SAY IT'S EXCUSE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER FOR THEIR LEARNING, FOR THEIR CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE TEACHER.

MOST ALL KIDS DO BETTER WHEN THEY FEEL A CONNECTION TO THEIR TEACHER. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM TRUANCY WHICH IS ONLY UNEXCUSED ABSENCES OR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE WHICH IS HOW MANY STUDENTS SHOW UP TO SCHOOL EACH DAY. WE TRY TO KEEP ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS UNDER 10%. THAT'S THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO MISSED 10% OR MORE OF THE SCHOOL DAYS. OVER THE LAST, THIS IS MY 25TH YEAR IN THE DISTRICT, I GOT MY INVITATION FROM HUMAN RESOURCES TO GO GET MY PAPERWEIGHT OR WHATEVER SO I AM EXCITED. IT HAS CHANGED, LESS ABOUT AND COMPLAINED AND GIVING THE SATURDAY SCHOOL AND IT'S MORE ABOUT GETTING KIDS AT SCHOOL SO THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND BE A PART OF THAT COMMUNITY. IN DOING THAT WE RUN ATTENDANCE DATA A LOT MORE THAN WE USED TO OR RERUN IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WERE NOT LOOKING AT A.D.A. WITH A NUMBER OF KIDS WHO REACH 10%. WE ARE LOOKING AT IT, WE ARE BREAKING IT DOWN. AMBER, WHO IS AMAZING, AS YOU KNOW , SHE HAS TRAINED ALL OF OUR ATTENDANCE LIAISONS AND HOW TO RUN ANALYTICS. WE BREAK THAT DOWN BY ETHNIC GROUP, SUBGROUP, BY FOSTER AND THEN BY STUDENT AT EACH SCHOOL. WE LOOK AT THE STUDENTS APPROACHING 10% AND WE SEE WHAT INTERVENTIONS THEY NEED IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING THAT I CHRONIC ABSENTEE LEVEL, TO KEEP THEM ENGAGED IN SCHOOL. SO WE ARE USING DATA A LOT ON A REALLY INDIVIDUAL STUDENT LEVEL. WE RUN AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR, AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS WE RUN LISTS OF KIDS WHO HAD THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IN THE PRIOR YEAR TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO HAVE A FRESH START FOR EACH SCHOOL YEAR . SO THIS IS OUR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE DATA.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE'RE STILL RECOVERING FROM COVID . BEFORE COVID WE WERE AT 96, 96 REMAINS OUR GOAL WE ARE WORKING WITH ALL OF THE SCHOOLS TO GET THERE . WE HAVE TWO YEARS WHERE WE ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR COVID. WE HAD A SLIGHT DIP IN 22, 23 BUT WE'VE GONE UP LAST YEAR AND WERE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING UP AGAIN THIS YEAR. WE EXPECT THAT TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WE HAD A PERIOD IN JANUARY WITH FIRES AND THEN SOME OF THE POLITICAL EVENTS WE HAD SOME KIDS NOT IN SCHOOL SO THE NUMBERS OF CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WENT UP AND A.D.A. WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE'RE GETTING BACK TO WHERE WE WERE. WHAT YOU DON'T SEE IN THAT DATA, THAT IS REALLY EXCITING FOR ME AND AMBER AND WE HOPE FOR YOU TOO, IS THE IMPROVEMENT IN TITLE I SCHOOLS .

I WILL GIVE YOU A COUPLE EXAMPLES. THIS IS OUR OVERALL DATE OF CONEJO ELEMENTARY WAS AT 91%, 3% BELOW THE REST OF THE DISTRICT. THEY WENT UP TO 94.3 LAST YEAR AND THEY ARE IN THERE AT 94.5 FOR THIS YEAR. THAT'S BECAUSE THE PRINCIPAL AT THE SCHOOL AND THE OFFICE STAFF, THIS IS HAPPENING AT ALL OF OUR

[01:50:03]

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WERE KILLING IT AND THEY ARE CONTINUING.

STILL GOING UP. THOSE KIDS KNOW WHAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IS.

THEY ARE AWARE OF THE TRAVELING BUNNY IN THE CLASSROOM. THEY WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THE PRINCIPLES ARE DOING LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION. TO SEE THAT IMPROVEMENT IN OUR TITLE I SCHOOL , GOING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY IS VERY EXCITING. GLENWOOD WENT FROM 91.1 IN 22, 23 TO 96 IN THERE AT 94.2. THEY HAVE GONE UP 3% IN THE LAST TWO YEARS WHICH IS AWESOME. THIS YEAR'S SUPERSTAR IS ASPEN, WHICH WAS AT 94 IN 22 23, THEY WENT UP TO 95 AND THERE UP TO 97.55 THIS YEAR . I WILL BE HONEST. THAT THE COMBINATION OF OUR ELEMENTARY OFFICES TAKING ON SHORT-TERM INDEPENDENT STUDY RECOVERING UP THE 15 DAYS OF ABSENCE FOR THOSE KIDS BUT THAT IS A LOT OF COMMITMENT FROM THE PRINCIPLES AND THE OFFICE STAFF AND WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE IN THEIR EFFORTS OF RAISING THOSE NUMBERS. WITH CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM , THIS IS NATIONWIDE. WHERE MUCH BETTER IN THE STATE AND WERE MUCH BETTER IN THE NATION BEFORE AND AFTER COVID. BEFORE COVID ONLY 5.5% OF OUR KIDS JUST WITHIN 10% OF THE SCHOOL DAY. RIGHT AFTER COVID WE WERE 14.7, WE WENT TO 16.2 AND WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT DROP THIS LAST YEAR. WHERE UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR BUT JANUARY WAS VERY TOUGH FOR US. THE FLU WAS BAD. WE DON'T WANT THEM COMING TO SCHOOL WITH THE FLU. WE HAD THE FIRES AND WE HAD A COUPLE OF DAYS LIKE THE DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS , WE HAD ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHO HAD A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF KIDS ABSENT THE DAY AFTER THE INAUGURATION SO WE HAD A COUPLE ABERRATIONS IN THEIR AFFECTING OUR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM FOR THE YEAR. WE ARE MOVING BACK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON THAT. AND AGAIN. I WILL GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES. MADRONE WENT FROM 22.9% OF THE KIDS MISSED MORE THAN 10% OF THE SCHOOL DAYS IN 22 AND 23. THEY DROPPED 10% LAST YEAR. ONLY 12% OF THE KIDS WERE CHRONICALLY ABSENT LAST YEAR AND THEY'VE GONE TO 7.7% THIS YEAR CONEJO ELEMENTARY HAS GONE FROM 35% TO 16% LAST YEAR AND THERE AT 19% THIS YEAR. THEY'RE MOVING BACK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT THOSE ARE HUGE GAINS. OVERALL IN OUR TITLE I SCHOOLS WE'VE SHOWN PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT IMPROVEMENT AND THAT AFFECTS STUDENT LEARNING SO WE ARE REALLY

EXCITED ABOUT THAT. ONE MORE. >> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF OUR SUBGROUPS. AMBER AS YOU KNOW FOSTER LIAISON AS WELL THIS NUMBER 36 PERCENT CHRONICALLY ABSENT FOR STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE IS SOMETHING SHE IS FOCUSING ON A LOT. WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS WE HAVE SO FEW STUDENTS, ONE OR TWO STUDENTS THAT WE CAN'T GET TO SCHOOL IS AFFECTING THE NUMBER.

IT'S ONE OF THE KIDS SHE IS IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE TIME. IN SOME CASES DAILY. WE KNOW WHO THOSE KIDS ARE AND WERE WORKING ON REMOVING BARRIERS TO THEIR ATTENDANCE EVERY DAY. BUT IT DOES, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE AREAS WHERE WERE WORKING ON IT. OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS , THEY ARE SHOWING GREAT IMPROVEMENT AND ALL OF OUR SUBGROUPS ARE GETTING BETTER EXCEPT FOR THE ONE LITTLE ABERRATION WITH THE FOSTER STUDENTS THIS YEAR

>> YOU MIGHT ASK HOW IS ALL THE GREAT WORK HAPPENING AND WE WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO HIGHLIGHT ATTENDANCE LIAISONS AT OUR SECONDARY SITE, THERE ARE TWO OF THEM. AND THE GOAL OF THE ATTENDANCE LIAISON IS TO MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH FAMILIES AND STUDENTS SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS. THAT ATTENDANCE LIAISON IS MAKING SURE ATTENDANCE IS TAKEN DAILY , FOLLOWING UP WITH TEACHERS IF ATTENDANCE HASN'T BEEN TAKEN AND REALLY DOING THAT DATA DIVE THAT WE TALK WITH ANALYTICS TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHO'S NOT

[01:55:02]

THERE AND WHO IS ON THAT LIST. THEY CAN RECITE WHO THEY ARE AND HOW MANY THEY HAVE. THERE ACTUALLY THE ONES ON THE FRONT LINES. THERE CALLING THE FAMILIES AND REACHING OUT TO SEE WHETHER STUDENT IS WHERE MAKING SURE WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THE STUDENT TO SCHOOL IF IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN HELP WITH. THAT IS OFTEN, INCLUDING REMOVING BARRIERS. COLLABORATING AND ALSO REALLY LOOKING AT WAYS TO INCENTIVIZE AT EACH SCHOOL.

EACH SCHOOL SITE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT SO THIS GIVES ATTENDANCE LIAISONS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK IN WITH THE SCHOOLS, TALK TO THE STUDENTS AND SHE WAS GOING TO HELP DRIVE THEIR ATTENDANCE, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF ON THE NEXT SLIDE. HERE ARE ELEMENTARY EXAMPLES OF ATTENDANCE AND THE WONDERFUL THINGS GOING ON. THE FIRST PICTURE TO THE LEFT. IT WAS AN IMPORTANT THING FOR US TO DO THIS YEAR. EVERY BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT WE HAD AN AREA WHERE ATTENDANCE WAS THE FOCUS. CONSTANT CONVERSATION THE FAMILIES WERE AWARE OF WHAT EXCUSABLE REASONS WERE FOR BEING ABSENT. YET SOME OF OUR STAFF, ATTENDANCE STAFF. IN ADDITION WE HAVE TO SOCIAL WORKERS WHO ALSO ASSIST WITH ATTENDANTS THAT WERE AT THOSE EVENTS AS WELL. THE ALSO WENT AROUND IN THE MIDDLE TO DO PRESENTATIONS FOR EACH CLASS SO EACH CLASS KNEW WHERE THE GOAL WAS WHERE THE CLASS LEFT LAST YEAR AND ABLE TO MAKE ACTIONABLE GOALS WITH THE STUDENTS BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD AT THEIR LEVEL. THEY ALSO PLAN FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. ON THE BOTTOM, THIS IS A GAME DAY DURING LUNCH STUDENT THAT HAD IMPROVED ATTENDANCE WERE ABLE TO COME AND CELEBRATE AND DO SPECIAL ACTIVITIES DURING THAT TIME. IN ADDITION THERE WAS A SILLY STRING EVENT THAT STUDENTS GOT I BELIEVE DR. CRAVEN GOT SILLY STRING THERE IN THAT PICTURE. WE ALSO REALLY MADE A POINT OF MAKING SURE THERE WAS A LOT OF VISUALS AROUND. ESPECIALLY ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.

THEY KNEW WHERE ATTENDANCE WAS AND HOW IT WAS LOOKING. WE HAVE MANY CAMPUSES AS YOU WALK AROUND YOU WILL SEE DIFFERENT THINGS AROUND THE TALK ABOUT BUILDUP ATTENDANCE. THIS WAS GLENWOOD AND THEY DID SOMETHING WITH LEGOS THIS YEAR. THEY ADDED LEGOS TO THEIR BACK AS BUILDING UP AND GETTING BETTER AT ATTENDANCE. YOU SEE BANNERS AROUND. SEVERAL SCHOOLS WE GIVE OUT ATTENDANCE MATTERS AWARDS 24 IMPROVED ATTENDANCE, IMPROVED A.D.A. PERCENTAGE AND HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE LITTLE CHALLENGE. THOSE OF THE TEACHERS OF CONEJO AT THE TOP IN THEIR PERCENTAGE IS LISTED AND THAT'S WHERE THE BUNNY TRAVELS FROM CLASS TO CLASS BASED ON ATTENDANCE PERCENTAGE EACH WEEK JUST DIFFERENT THINGS WORKING AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS . ALSO REALLY KEY MESSAGING. MESSAGING STARTED REALLY STRONG. SEPTEMBER IS AWARENESS MONTH AND WE SENT OUT LANGUAGE FOR THE STAFF TO SEND OUT TO FAMILIES AND IT'S REALLY CARRIED ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND I ALWAYS ASKED THEM TO SEND ME EXAMPLES BECAUSE I GET EXCITED. YOU CAN SEE THEY STARTED IN SEPTEMBER WITH DIFFERENT DRESS-UP DAYS TO INCENTIVIZE ATTENDANCE. WE TALK ABOUT THE KEY TIMES OF THE YEARS WHEN WE KNOW ATTENDANCE HAS GONE DOWN. WHAT CAN WE DO DURING THE YEAR TO BRING ATTENDANCE UP . WE KNOW THIS WEEK IS A CHALLENGE, WE ARE GEARING UP FOR SPRING BREAK SO IF YOU GO TO ANY CAMPUSES YOU MAY COME ACROSS A PAJAMA DAY SOMETHING THEY MAY INCENTIVIZE TO THE KIDS TO BE ON CAMPUS. IN ADDITION, CONSTANT MESSAGING ABOUT EXCUSE, AN EXCUSE, WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE, WHAT THE GOAL IS, VERY CLEAR AT EVERY SIDE OF WHAT THE SCHOOL GOAL IS. I REALLY LIKE HOW THEY ARE LISTING OUT BY GRADE LEVEL. YOU KNOW WHERE IS YOUR CLASS IN RELATION TO THE SCHOOL GOAL? AND THEN WE ALSO WANTED TO GIVE SOME SECONDARY EXAMPLES. SECONDARY LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT. HERE ON THE FIRST ONE YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE JUST SOME POINTS SO THEY ACCRUE POINTS BASED ON THE ATTENDANCE AND THEY CAN GET DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT ARE HOT COMMODITIES FOR THE SPECIFIC SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE YOU CAN SEE MR. KLINGER SHOWING OFF THE PRESENT BE POWERFUL EARN A GOLD MEDAL FOR THIS MONTH'S POSITIVE ATTENDANCE. MANY DIFFERENT ONES. IF YOU GO TO LOW CERRITOS YOU WILL SEE MR. KLINGER WITH DIFFERENT OUTFITS ON SHOWING POSITIVE ATTENDANCE. IS ALSO DIFFERENT AWARDS. REALLY THINKING OF PIVOTAL TIMES WHEN ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE AND WHAT WE CAN DO ON CAMPUS TO GET KIDS TO COME IN. WE HAVE THE PUMP CONNECTIVITY, WATER BALLOONS, JUST DIFFERENT THINGS

[02:00:01]

REALLY TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER AS A DISTRICT ACROSS DIFFERENT SITES AND HOW WE CAN KEEP THAT MOMENTUM GOING YEAR-TO-YEAR .

>> A FEW THINGS WE ARE DOING. CHRISTINA AND I ARE SUPERVISORS OF ATTENDANCE. GO THROUGH THE PROCESS EVERY YEAR. IT'S A TRAINING WHERE WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT OUR DATA. WE LOOK AT ACTIONS THAT ARE WORKING AND WE LOOK AT BEST PRACTICES AND WE ARE CERTIFIED TO OVERSEE ATTENDANCE FOR THE DISTRICT WHICH INCLUDES SARVER AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERY YEAR AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE IN A MOMENT THAT WE ALSO TALK ABOUT WEEKLY DATA SHARING. THIS IS DATA ON PULLING WEEKLY TO SEE HOW CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM LOOKS FOR EACH SCHOOL SITE AND THAT IS SHARED REGULARLY. IN ADDITION HAVE MEETINGS WITH OUR ATTENDANCE LIAISON. WE WANT TO GO OVER THE DATA WITH THEM. WE WANT TO SHOW THEM HOW TO GET ACCURATE DATA IN A MOMENTS TIME. THAT IS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT IN ADDITION TO TALKING ABOUT NEW LAWS AND ANYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW IN THE MOMENT. IT ALSO GIVES US A REALLY GREAT CHANCE TO DEEP DIVE CERTAIN STUDENTS AND HOW CAN WE HELP PROBLEM SOLVE TOGETHER. THAT KIND OF LEAPS INTO THE NEXT ONE WHICH IS DAILY CONVERSATIONS WE ARE HAVING TO CHECK IN ON CERTAIN STUDENTS WHICH CAN OFTEN SEGUE INTO HOME VISITS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL HER STUDENTS ON CAMPUS. AS I MENTIONED SARVER, PART OF SORB AND YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT SORB ON THE NEXT SLIDE, A KEY PART OF SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD IS THE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REVIEW TEAM. THE SART TEAM WE HAD 590 SART MEETINGS. THAT IS WHERE ATTENDANCE IS A CONCERN FOR SPECIFIC STUDENT WE WANT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. AT THE SITE WITH POLLEN COUNSELOR, TEACHER, ADMINISTRATOR AND WE DEEP DIVE INTO WHAT THEY CAN DO AT THE SITE TO HELP. WE REVIEW THE CHART THAT GOES OVER WITH FAMILIES, EXCUSED ABSENCES, TRUANCY, VERIFIED AN EXCUSE. AND WHAT THE SARB PROCESS IS. WE'VE ALSO DONE VIRTUALLY SO I CAN JUMP AND THE ONES THAT NEED AN EXTRA LENS AS WELL AND THIS SART PROCESS HAS REALLY GOTTEN BEEFED UP THIS YEAR BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A CRITICAL PART FOR THEY HAVE TO COME TO THE SART PROCESS OR BECOME TO THE SARB BOARD. ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE SARB PROCESS LOOKS LIKE .

THERE ARE THREE LETTERS WITHIN SARB AND IT'S REALLY GETTING THIS EDUCATION CODE 48 200 WHICH STATES EVERY CHILD FROM THE AGE OF 6 TO 18 MUST ATTEND SCHOOL REGULARLY. THAT IS THE GOAL OF SARB. IF STUDENTS ARE NOT PRESENT FOR THREE FULL DAYS THEY HAVE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. THIS TAKES OUT EXCUSED ABSENCES.

ILLNESS BEREAVEMENT, THOSE THINGS ARE NOT PART ABOUT THIS IF THEY'RE NOT EXCUSE BY EDUCATION CODE TO GET A LETTER ONE. LETTER ONE IS SIMPLY STATING THIS IS A WARNING. YOU HAVE MISSED THREE DAYS AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU. GET BACK ON TRACK WE KNOW SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT. THAT'S THE GENERAL MESSAGING AND THEN SARB TWO IS AFTER SIX FULL DAYS. THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO CAMPUS TO HAVE A SARB MEETING WE WILL TALK , BEING DEATH AND ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING ATTENDANCE AND MAKE SURE WE DO OUR BEST TO HELP. IF ATTENDANCE HAS NOT IMPROVED AFTER THE SART MEETING THAT'S WHEN A SARB LETTER THREE CAN BE PROCESSED AND THAT'S WHEN IT IS TRIGGERED TO COME TO THE DISTRICT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD SO THE SARB TEAM CONSISTS OF A LOT OF PEOPLE AND I LISTED A FEW HERE WITH THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, DISTRICT ATTORNEY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE , INTERFACE, THROUGH COUNSELOR , SPECIAL EDUCATION ADMINISTRATOR. IT'S A WHOLE TEAM FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY THERE TO SUPPORT THE STUDENT IN THE FAMILY WITH ANYTHING THAT CAN COME UP. WE USE THIS TIME IN A RESTORATIVE WAY TO DIG IN AND SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM AND HOW CAN WE HELP? SINCE THE PANDEMIC THE NUMBERS OF SARB REFERRALS HAVE GONE UP . DURING SARB THEY DROPPED , IT WAS A DIFFICULT TIME WITH COVID AND ATTENDANCE WAS KIND OF HALTED SOMETIME. IN THE YEAR 2021 THERE WAS ONLY 13 STUDENTS I CAME FORWARD TO THE SARB SO VERY SMALL BUT CURRENTLY IN 2425 WE'VE HAD 75 STUDENTS COME FORWARD TO THE SARB TEAM. WE HAD

[02:05:02]

TO MAKE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN ONE OF THOSE IS INCLUDING A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITATOR TO BE PART OF OUR SARB TEAM WHICH IS A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR TEAM. MISS STEARNS SITS ON THE BOARD AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THAT LENS AND BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT STUDENT SERVICES THEY MAY NEED. THAT HAS BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR

SARB TEAM. >> I ASKED IF I COULD DO THE LAST SLIDE AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID OKAY BUT YOU CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH. SO, I WANT TO MENTION ONE THING I SAID ABOUT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AND THERE'S TWO PEOPLE I DIDN'T MENTION. THE TITLE I COUNSELORS HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN CLASSROOMS , AND JUST NOT ONCE A YEAR OVER AND OVER WORKING WITH KIDS ON CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. I SHOULD'VE MENTIONED EASILY AND GABBY .

THEY ARE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEM.

SO , AS YOU MAY KNOW, AMBER IS THE CO-CHAIR OF OUR COUNTY SARB BOARD. SHE SAT ON IT A LONG TIME AND SHE'S NOW THE CO-CHAIR.

THIS YEAR WE APPLY FOR AND WERE AWARDED A MODEL SARB DESIGNATION. ONE OF ONLY 19 DISTRICTS IN THE STATE TO DO THAT. THAT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT AMBER HAS BUILT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, SIX YEARS . OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, WHAT SHE DOES IN THIS ROOM HAS MOVED BECAUSE OF SO MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS HELPING IS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY. HAVING ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM TOGETHER FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED WITH RESOURCES ON THE SPOT. THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE STEPS AND ON THE SPOT, THEY ASSIGN AN IEP RIGHT THERE BECAUSE MANDY GLOVER IS THERE AND THEY GET CONNECTED WITH MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH BETHANY. THERE IS NO PUTTING THINGS OFF , WE WILL LOOK INTO SOMETHING. EVERYONE IS IN THE ROOM. THE TEAM SETTER IS PUSHING SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, CONNECTIONS, BREAKTHROUGH ALSO, BREAKTHROUGH COUNSELORS AT THE MEETING AS WELL. THERE IS ANYONE WILL WRAP THE FAMILY UP IN IS THERE AND CREATED THIS SUPPORTIVE GROUP WHILE STILL HAVING ACCOUNTABILITY. AMBER TESTIFIED LAST MONTH IN THE FIRST SARB TRIAL IN 10 YEARS IN VENTURA COUNTY. SHE DID PERFECTLY. I WAS EXCLUDED AND HAD TO WATCH THROUGH THE DOOR BUT ANYWAYS WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR AMBER. AMBER DESERVES THIS. THIS IS HER AWARD AND SHE WILL RECEIVE IT NEXT WEEK AT THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SUPERVISORS CHILD WELFARE AND ATTENDANCE CONFERENCE THAT SHE AND I WILL BE ATTENDING RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK. ANY QUESTIONS FOR EITHER

OF US? >> AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND ALL THE WORK AND THE RECOGNITION FOR THAT WORK. I WANT TO OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM

ANYONE. >> JUST A COUPLE QUICK COMMENTS.

SIX YEARS DURING COVID, THAT'S REALLY 12 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE I WOULD SAY. THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS. THANK YOU FOR REINFORCING THE MESSAGE SO THAT THE EMPHASIS ON ATTENDANCE IS NOT A MONEY PLAY AND IT REALLY IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENTS TO GO TO SCHOOL. WHEN THEY ARE SICK NOT SO MUCH BUT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE OTHER BARRIERS ARE I APPRECIATE IT .

CONGRATS ON THAT AWARD. HUGE THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU MENTIONED. OFFICE MANAGER, PRINCIPLES, TITLE I COUNSELORS.

SPEAKING OF RUNNING LIST BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES TAKE AN ENTIRE VILLAGE TO HELP AND THE NUMBERS, WE ARE SEEING SOME IMPROVEMENT.

SO, THANK YOU BOTH. >> CONGRATULATIONS AMBER, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU FOR YOUR 12 YEARS, FOR YOUR EIGHT YEARS, FOR THE NUMBER OF YEARS YOU HAVE GIVEN TO OUR DISTRICT, THANK YOU. CHRISTINA AND AMBER, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. ONE SHORT QUESTION. AMBER, I HAVE SEEN WHAT YOU DO AT CONEJO AS FAR AS EVENTS WE BRING FAMILY TOGETHER WITH THE SCHOOL AND I'VE SEEN KIDS COME SO ENTHUSIASTIC WITH THAT OR PULLING DADDY AND MOMMY SINK WE HAVE TO GO TO SO AND SO'S CLASS. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE THAT ATTEND THE FAMILY EVENING NIGHTS AND WHETHER THAT HAS INCREASED THEIR TENANTS OR DECREASED CHRONIC ABSENCE?

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC NUMBERS BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU AND WHAT CHRISTINA SHARED IS THE ATTENDANCE AT CONEJO HAS REALLY JUMPED UP SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE

[02:10:03]

THE START OF THE DLI PROGRAM WHICH I REALLY COUNT ALL THE EXTRA ACTIVITIES TO HAVE AFTER SCHOOL, DURING SCHOOL, IT'S A HAPPY PLACE TO BE AND YOU CAN FEEL IT. THEY ARE THERE AND THEY WANT TO BE THERE. THEY KNOW ABOUT THE TENANT SCHOOL WHO BROUGHT THE BUNNY THEY WILL TELL YOU SO IT'S REALLY CHANGED THAT CULTURE IN THE FIELD AND IT'S SHOWING WITH THEIR ATTENDANCE. I WOULD SAY THAT DOES HAVE A PART TO DO WITH IT.

>> IT MAKES SCHOOL FAMILY AND FAMILY SCHOOL AND THE WHOLE

COMMUNITY. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THE WORK. YOU MENTIONED 590 SART MEETINGS THIS YEAR. IS THAT THE AVERAGE NUMBER? WHERE DOES THAT FIT IN

CONTEXTUALLY? >> I PULLED ALL OF OUR DATA AND WE HAD 590 SART MEETINGS SO TYPICALLY AROUND THIS TIME WE HAVE HAD AS MANY. THE NUMBERS PUSHED REALLY TO TRY TO FIND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM ON THE SITE BEFORE IT BECOMES ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE HERE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. SO THAT NUMBER HAS GROWN.

LAST YEAR THERE WAS ABOUT 400 AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WERE ALREADY 190 UP IN THE SCHOOL YEAR AND WE STILL HAVE A FEW

MORE WEEKS. >> THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AT THE MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOLS AND THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE DOING THOSE. WHEN YOU SAY TAKES EVERYBODY, IT TAKES EVERYBODY. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO'S DONE EVERYTHING.

>> THAT'S MY NEXT POINT. THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING LIKE TRUSTEE SYLVESTER SAID. THIS TAKES A TEAM. YOU CLEARLY ARE BUILDING AN AMAZING TEAM MAKING SURE EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE IN THE ROOM IS IN THE ROOM AT ALL THE VARIOUS LEVELS AND IT'S REALLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE IT'S WORKING SO THANK YOU.

>> I WANT TO ECHO MY GRATITUDE FOR THE PRESENTATION AND ALL THE WORK AND ATTENDANCE AND LIAISONS AND STAFF DO. ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE QUALITY AND INTENTIONALITY OF OUTREACH AND EDUCATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED TO OUR PARENTS. I CAN CLEARLY REMEMBER BEING IN MULTIPLE DISTRICT ADVISER COUNCIL MEETINGS WERE YOU PRESENTED AND SING PARENTS UNDERSTAND AND TAKE ON THE IMPACT OF THEIR CHILD BEING ABSENT TWO DAYS A MONTH AND WHAT THAT MEANS . CLEARLY IT IS WORKING. WE ARE GRATEFUL AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE RECOGNITION THAT IS SO WELL

DESERVED. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND ALL OF YOUR WORK . I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED TO LEARN ABOUT SARB AND HOW MANY RESOURCES WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IN THE GROUP FOR THOSE FAMILIES. WE HAD ABOUT 75 THIS YEAR I'M CURIOUS OF THE AGE BREAKDOWN HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE HIGH SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS WELL AS RESOURCES AND PEOPLE CHANGE BASED ON THE AGE OF THE STUDENT.

>> GREAT QUESTION. WE ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME PEOPLE IN THE YEAR. IF ANYTHING WE'VE ADDED ON FOR HOW THE YEARS GO ON. WE USED TO BE IN THE ONE BUT WE HAVE OUTGROWN THE SPACE AND WE ARE HERE NOW TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE WONDERFUL SUPPORT WE HAVE. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT WRITE-DOWN BUT WHAT I CAN DO IS PROVIDE THAT TO YOU IN OUR NEXT BOARD REPORT WITH THE BREAKDOWN OF THE GRAY SPAN SO YOU CAN SEE THAT AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU. I HAD A COMMENT FIRST. I WAS GOING TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THE NEW MIND-SET. I REALLY LIKE THE ATTENDANCE DATA. THERE'S BEEN A SHIFT IN HOW FAMILIES AND STUDENTS VIEW ATTENDANCE SINCE COVID SO CLEARLY THERE HAS BEEN MODIFICATION, A SHIFT IN PRACTICE THAT IS CLEARLY WORKING SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. I DO QUESTION ABOUT TRENDING OVER TIME OVER YEARS. WE HAVE STUDENTS WE ARE WORKING WITH TO GET THROUGH THE SARB PROCESS . DO WE FIND FROM YEAR-TO-YEAR IS THE SAME STUDENTS WERE KIND OF STARTING OVER? DO WE GET TO HAVE A SENSE THAT WE REALLY WORKED WITH THESE FAMILIES AND MAYBE THEY GOT ALL THE WAY TO SARB AND WE DON'T SEE THEM POP UP IN

TERMS OF ANY ABSENTEE PROBLEMS. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I WOULD SAY IS A HANDFUL OF STUDENTS WE DO SEE COME BACK AND THOSE ONES WERE ACTUALLY INTENTIONAL IN THE FIRST FEW SARB MEETINGS WHERE WE LOOK AT THEIR ATTENDANCE WITH THE WHOLE TEAM AND SEE IF THEY MEET THE FRESH MARKET EARLY SO WE CAN GET TO THEM SOONER IN THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ADVOCATE AND HELP THEM

[02:15:02]

GO BACK TO THEIR POSITIVE ATTENDANCE. OVERALL THIS YEAR WITH THE BIG NUMBER AND MOST OF OUR STUDENTS ARE NEW THIS YEAR.

BUT WE DO HAVE A HANDFUL THAT HAS COME AND THIS IS SOMETIMES THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME AT SARB . WE KNOW THE FAMILY, WE KNOW THE BARRIERS ARE ABLE TO JUMP IN SO WE DO MAKE IT EASIER AND FALL OFF WHICH IS GREAT. WE KNOW ALL THE STUDENTS. ANOTHER STUDENT SO THEY'RE EASY FOR US TO CHECK IN AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE LIST AND ABLE TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION EARLY ON.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. WE'RE MOVING

>> WE CONTINUE TO MESSAGE OUT AND WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY GROUPS. I WILL SAY 100% COMPLIANCE SHORT OF GOING OUT AND TAKING THOSE SIGNS DOWN WE HAVE YET TO DO THAT BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BECOME AN ISSUE WE CAN SURELY GO UP AND DO THAT. WE TAKE THE DIPLOMATIC APPROACH AND REMIND PEOPLE OF THE RULES UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES THERE'S A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE RULES SCHOOL DISTRICT AND STUDENTS TEND TO DO

WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER

[D. Business Services - Discussion of Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3311 - Bids]

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SEEING NONE WE WILL MOVE TO 4 D WHICH IS THE DISCUSSION OF POLICY ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION 3311.

DR. HAYEK . >> THIS POLICY IS ESSENTIALLY AROUND BIDS AND HOW WE BID FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES . THE MAJOR CHANGE HERE IS ADDING LANDSCAPE PROJECTS AS CAPITAL PROJECTS WORK REQUIRED TO BE BID OUT. WE TYPICALLY COMPLY WITH THE BID THRESHOLD HURT THERE'S ALSO A SECTION ON SOLE SOURCING PIXEL SOURCING IS IF WE USE ONE PARTICULAR BRAND OF LET'S SAY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT OR CONTROLLER AND WE HAVE TO REPLACE ANOTHER AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT, LET'S SAY ON A ROOFTOP AND ALL THE UNITS ARE BRAND XYZ, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PUT IN ANOTHER BRAND-NEW SYSTEM BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY WORK TOGETHER OR THEY ARE REDUNDANT WITH EACH OTHER. WE JUST HAVE TO RING TO THE BOARD, WHICH WE'VE DONE TO THE PAST AND VERY FEW OCCASIONS

[02:20:04]

WE STIPULATE THAT WE ONLY ARE SEEKING BIDS FOR ONE PARTICULAR BRAND OF THE ITEM OR THE PRODUCT IS WE TEND TO SEE A LOT OF THE ROOFING AS WELL. WE DO ROOF WORK AND WE TRY TO MATCH ROOFING MATERIALS DIFFERENT BRANDS HAVE DIFFERENT COMPOSITES IN THEM AND IT'S BEST TO STAY ALONG THE SAME LINES . IT MAY VARY ACROSS DISTRICTS BUT WE DON'T WANT TO MIX-AND-MATCH CERTAIN THINGS LIKE BUILDINGS FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS THAT COULD COMPROMISE THE OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SERVICE.

JUST GIVING A COUPLE EXAMPLES ANYTIME WE DO THAT IF WE STIPULATE THAT WHERE ONLY ASKING FOR ONE PARTICULAR BRAND OR VENDOR TO SUPPLY THAT AND WE BRING IT TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO GET APPROVAL FOR THAT.

>> WHERE DOES THE COST ISSUE COMMENT ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

>> GOES LOWEST BIDDERS BECAUSE CONTRACTORS WORK WITH A NUMBER OF PROVIDERS SO ONE OF THE SOLE SOURCING IS ONLY BUY FROM XYZ AND IT WOULD BE A BRANDING FOR EXAMPLE LIKE A WASHER OR DRYER.

YOU WANT YOUR WASHER OR DRYER TO BE TYPICALLY THE SAME, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE THAT THEY DO I'M GETTING SOME HAD NOTES BUT I'M TRYING TO USE A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. IT IS NOT A COMMITMENT TO ANY ONE PARTICULAR VENDOR IT IS JUST A BRAND NAME.

[E. Business Services - Discussion of Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3311.1 - Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Procedures]

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WE ARE ON E , DISCUSSION OF POLICY AND REGULATION 311.1 .

>> THIS HAS TO DO WITH UNIFORM PUBLIC ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.

DUE TO CHANGES UNDER UPC CAA YOU WILL SEE IT REFERRED TO AS IN THE AGENDA. THERE ARE LEGAL CHANGES REQUIRING THE PROCESS OF WHEN WE UTILIZE THIS TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION REQUEST FOR BIDS AND PROPOSALS FOR CERTAIN COMPANIES AND WHAT IT ENTAILS AND DOESN'T ENTAIL. SO JUST SOME LEAD UPDATES. WE FOLLOW THIS EVERY YEAR WE DO PROJECTS. THERE'S AN INCREASE IN THE BID THRESHOLD FROM 215 TO $235,000 . BECAUSE THE DISTRICT THE REGRESSION TO RUN BIDS THAT WE CAN PERFORM SIMILAR WORK BY OUR OLD STUFF WITHOUT HAVING TO BID IT OUT .

>> THAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A GOOD THING FOR US.

>> IT IS. THE ONLY THING THAT HOLDS US UP IN THOSE SITUATIONS IS TIME. WHEN YOU DO WORK IN THE SUMMER WE MAY NOT HAVE THE MANPOWER TO DO A LARGER JOB BECAUSE WE WOULD TAKE A LONGER TIME. TO DO IT . MAYBE SOMEONE WHO HAS MORE STAFF, MORE PEOPLE WORKING SO THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THAT JOB IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME WHICH IS A PROBLEM WE RUN INTO. WE DO A LOT OF SMALLER

PROJECTS. >> OKAY, NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR

[F. Business Services - Discussion of Board Policy 3312 - Contracts]

COMMENTS. DISCUSSION OF BOARD POLICY 3312 CONTRACTS .

>> SOME LEGAL UPDATES ABOUT CONTRACTS HERE. A LOT OF THIS COMPETING WITH SEALED CONTRACTS FOR THINGS WE ARE DEALING WITH THROUGH THE CAFETERIA AND CHANGES IN VERBIAGE OF REQUIREMENTS UNDER CONTRACTS. A SECTION ABOUT LABOR COMPLAINTS.

WE DON'T USE IT BUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY WE LEFT IT IN CASE WE EVER DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE OTHER STUFF IS JUST GENERAL UP DATES . 3515.5.

[G. Business Services - Discussion of Board Policy 3515.5 - Sex Offender Notification]

>> THIS IS ABOUT SIX OFFENDER NOTIFICATION AND THE DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. NOT A LOT OF MAJOR CHANGES JUST SOME VERBIAGE CHANGES AND GENERAL UPDATES WITH THE LAWS AS FAR AS THE ROLE THE DISTRICT POLICE SECURITY DEPARTMENT WHICH WE DON'T HAVE. WE HAVE CAMPUS SAFETY SO IT'S

[02:25:04]

KIND OF A GRAY AREA WEATHER THAT VILIFIES AS SECURITY SO WE LEFT THE VERBIAGE IN HERE JUST FOR THE CONSISTENCY WITH THE GAMBIT

POLICY . >> COMMENTS QUESTIONS ? WE ARE

[H. Business Services - Discussion of Board Policy 3516.5 - Emergency Schedules]

AT 4 LETTER H THREE POINT FIVE EMERGENCY SCHEDULES.

>> THE BIG THING IS EFFECTIVE JULY 1 SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE LEARNING CONTINUITY PLANS JUST IN CASE WHETHER IT BE A FIRE, POWER OUTAGE IN ORDER TO CLAIM ON THE J 13 FORM, WHICH IS TO RECOUP THE LOSS ATTENDANCE FOR NATURAL DISASTER OR WHATEVER IT IS. WE HAVE TO AT LEAST FIRST TRY TO KEEP KIDS LEARNING ENGAGED OFF-CAMPUS OFF SCHOOL THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS SO THE POLICY UPDATES REFLECT IN ORDER TO CLAIM THE LOSS ADVANTAGE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE CONTINUITY CLAIM WHICH WE ARE WORKING ON AND IT WILL BE ADDED TO EACH OF THE SCHOOL SITE

SCHOOL SAFETY PLANS. >> THANK YOU, COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THANK YOU DR. HAYEK FOR ALL THAT INFORMATION. WE

IT'S REALLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE A DATES AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE DISTRICT HEALTH BENEFIT OFFERING AND THE COST OF WHERE WE ARE AT CURRENTLY. SO WE DID REVIEW NUMBERS.

MONTHLY REPORT IS FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL CAMPUSES TO TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE CAMPUSES THAT WE CAN'T GET TO WORK CONGRATULATIONS TO TEACHER OF THE MONTH FOR THIS MONTH JULIA AGUILAR RODRIGUEZ. I WENT TO A DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL PRESENTATION OF PE PROGRAMS , THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. THE DEMONSTRATED SOME OF THE PE INTRODUCTION. SCARF JUGGLING, I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT BUT IT LOOKED LIKE A LOT OF FUN.

THOUSAND OAKS YOUTH COMMISSION, THANK YOU TO THE YOUTH WHO PARTICIPATED AND THE LEVEL OF QUESTIONING AND SEARCH FOR INFORMATION WAS JUST MAGNIFICENT. THOSE KIDS ARE BRILLIANT. I HAVE TO SAY. SO MANY OF THE KIDS THAT I'VE COME ACROSS WHETHER IT BE STUDENT DEBT, YOUTH COMMISSION, OUR KIDS ARE AMAZING. SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY BROUGHT UP WAS TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOLS . THEY CAN'T GET TO IT WAS INTERESTING AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW I HAPPEN TO BE SITTING WITH ONE OF THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE AND SHE BROUGHT OUT SOME OF THE FACTS THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW LIKE YOU GET FREE TRANSPORTATION THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. THE KIDS DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS IMPORTANT STUFF LIKE THAT SHOULD BE ON THE CANVAS.

I'M NOT SURE SHOULD BE ON THE CAMPUS INFORMATION PAGE WERE THERE ALMOST FORCED TO SEE IT WHEN IT'S ON CAMPUS AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA. THEY ALSO SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT WE TIP THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WE TIP AND BRINGING THAT UP I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE SPEAKERS WHO SPOKE TONIGHT AND SHARED THEIR EMOTIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS PERCEIVED GOING ON. THEY ALSO BROUGHT UP MORE PUBLICITY AND GLUTEN-FREE.

DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS AVAILABLE IN SOME CASES. GLUTEN-FREE MENUS. ANTI-ALLERGEN FOODS BE REQUESTED BY THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR. THE WELLNESS COMMITTEE AS WAS REPORTED, THANK YOU. WE HAVE REPORTED AND MR. FRANK DID A GREAT JOB OF EMPHASIZING THAT PE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS CHANGING ARE MAINLY NOT TO JUST HAVE A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A REQUIREMENT BUT FOR SAFETY AND FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT . I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE I HAD SOME PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ABOUT WHETHER CHANGING AND HEARING THE LOGIC BEHIND IT HELPED ME OUT. I WENT TO WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING TONIGHT BUT I WENT TO THE PREVIEW THE OTHER NIGHT AT CYPRESS ELEMENTARY THEY ARE SHOWING THEIR CYPRESS PROJECT RESEARCH PROJECTS AND WHEN I SAY RESEARCH PROJECTS THE FIFTH GRADE KIDS THAT PRESENTED THEIR TRIFOLDS WERE PROFESSIONALLY DONE. CHANGE THAT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS NOT RIGHT. THEY DID A PROFESSIONAL JOB ON THE TRIFOLDS PRINTING THEM OUT, EXPLAINING THEM, THEN THEY PRESENTED TO US AS WE WENT BY. THAT WAS TONIGHT FOR THE COMMUNITY. BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I WENT FOR A PREVIEW AND IT WAS WONDERFUL SEEING THESE KIDS. WE HAVE REALLY KIDS IN OUR DISTRICT.

THEY COVERED OCEAN COOLING, ANIMAL PRESERVATION, ENVIRONMENTAL CLIENT WARMING. SOME OF THESE , AND THE RESEARCH THEY DID ON THEM WAS JUST AMAZING. I WENT YESTERDAY MORNING TO MADRONE EUROS JOG-ATHON . IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS AND MADRONE IS ONE OF THE TOP AND HOW THEY GET COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. AS WE TALK ABOUT FOR BRINGING THE COMMUNITY AND AVOIDS THAT SEPARATION DROP OFF YOUR KIDS AT 830 . THE COMMUNITY CAME FOR THIS. A LOT OF GRANDPARENTS , ALUMNI OF THE SCHOOL THAT CAME IN WATTS THAT AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. FINALLY LAST NIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO THE MUSIC FESTIVAL I WENT TO FUTURE HIM TONIGHT. THE PARTICIPATION THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THEY MUST'VE HAD HALF THE SCHOOL POPULATION. A NIGHT EVENT AND I SAW THE SPARKLES PERFORM.

IT WAS THE FUTURE NIGHTS WHERE WE GET OUR EIGHTH-GRADERS

EXCITED ABOUT COMING TO HIGH SCHOOL JUST MAKES , LESSONS THAT ANXIETY THAT WE USED TO HAVE WHEN IT WASN'T HAPPENING. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. AND TO ALL, HAVE A WONDERFUL SPRING

BREAK AND COME BACK SAFE. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE GORBACH.

TRUSTEE GORE BIRD. >> IT'S MOSTLY ALL BEEN COVERED SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY MY BIGGEST TAKE AWAY FROM CYPRESS ELEMENTARY I.V. PRESENTATION WAS THE CONNECTED STUDENT DRIVEN RESEARCH IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. THE STUDENTS WERE SO ENGAGED AND SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SO EAGER TO SHARE THE INFORMATION IT IS TRANSFORMATIVE I THINK FOR THEM AND FOR ME CERTAINLY AND SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT IT IS THE I.V. PROCESS. KUDOS TO THOSE WHO LIVE ON A REGULAR BASIS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. I LOVE THAT WERE DOING IT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN ONE SPACE . ASIDE FROM THE ALL DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL, A LOT OF SCHOOLS ARE DOING 13 COLONIES PLAY. THOSE SIGNS GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD AND STAY WITH YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND RETEACH YOU ABOUT THE LESSONS THE GREAT COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. AND WITH THAT I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN THIS ORGANIZATION IN THE CVUSD COMMUNITY FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND EFFORT AS WE LEAD INTO A WELL DESERVED, WELL EARNED, VERY LATE SPRING BREAK. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EACH RELAXING MOMENT .

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE GOLDBERG. >> A LOT OF THIS HAS BEEN COVERED. THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON SO I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF WITH JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS. I WANT TO THANK CHRISTINE WELLS FOR SPEAKING TO US ABOUT EVERYTHING GOING ON. ONCE AGAIN THANK CHRISTINE WARNER AND THE K KIDS ARE COMING. AN AMAZING PRESENTATION AND I LOVED HEARING ABOUT WAYS THAT YOU CAN BE HAPPY . I WILL KEEP MY TALKING TO A MINIMUM HERE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF THE WAYS. I KNOW, I WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY. YOU WANT TO THINK ALL OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO CAME OUT TONIGHT TO SPEAK. I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY BEING AT THAT PODIUM AND SPEAKING. IN A LOT OF WAYS IT'S HARDER TO DO THAT THAN IT IS TO BE UP HERE ON THE DAIS. I DO APPRECIATE THE BRAVERY IT TAKES TO COME. I WANT TO ASSURE EVERYBODY AS BOARD MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES WE ARE LISTENING. AS PRESIDENT POWELL EXPLAINED , WE REALLY CAN'T ENGAGE AND DISCUSS NON-AGENDA ITEMS , VERY BRIEFLY EXPLAIN JUST WHY. WE ARE GOVERNED I THE BROWN ACT AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS OUR MEETINGS MUST BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO POST OUR AGENDA IN ADVANCE. STRICT RULES AROUND THE TIMING AND WHERE WE POST IT. THIS WITH THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING AT ANY GIVEN MEETING. WHETHER IT'S FACILITY FEES OR ATTENDANCE. IF THEY SEE THE AGENDA AND WANT TO COME AND OFFER A COMMENT OR DISCUSSION THEY WILL BE ALERTED TO THE FACT THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT. IF IT'S AN AGENDA ITEM AND WE HEAR PUBLIC COMMENTS WE CAN DISCUSS IT . HOWEVER, IF IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA AND WE HEAR PUBLIC COMMENTS, SUCH AS MANY OF THE COMMENTS TONIGHT WE CANNOT DISCUSS IT. THE PUBLIC HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE AGENDA WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND IT'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN. THIS WOULD BE A BROWN ACT VIOLATION. AS A BOARD WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A BROWN ACT VIOLATION. IT INVOLVES DISTRICT ATTORNEYS SOMETIMES. WE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO IT. I DO WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT WE HEAR YOU AND WE HEAR YOUR COMMENTS. WE HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON AND IT'S NOT EASY TO SIT HERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND, NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION BUT WE HONESTLY , HONESTLY CAN'T. I WANTED TO DO TWO SECONDS ON A VERY COMPLICATED BROWN ACT AS TO WHY IT IS THAT WE DO READ THE PREAMBLE AND WHITE IT IS WE ACT THE WAY WE DO. I JUST WANT TO

[02:45:05]

TOUCH ON ONE OTHER THING, THE CTE SHOWCASE. I KNOW TRUSTEE LIGHT MENTIONED IT, IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR AND IT WAS PUT ON REALLY ACROSS ALMOST ALL OF OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS SO I WANT TO THANK ALL THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHO CAME AND DEMONSTRATED ALL OF THE GREAT CTE CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN PLACE FROM CULINARY, ROBOTICS, EMT PATHWAYS, IF THOSE PATHWAYS, IT WAS FABULOUS AND I HOPE TO SEE IT CONTINUE. ENJOY YOUR SPRING BREAK AND WE WILL SEE YOU BACK IN MAY. THANKS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT LITTLE PRIMER ON THE BROWN ACT. IT'S ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I THINK WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND PEOPLE TO REPEAT . WE HAVE IT IN THE PREAMBLE BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO REPEAT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WE GET TRAININGS ON THE BROWN ACT AND THEY ARE HOURS LONG. THERE IS A LOT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. GOOD EVENING. I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE. I WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALYSSA PETERS AND TO OUR PTA REFLECTION ARTS WINNERS. TAKE YOU TO STUDENT REPORTERS, CHRISTIE WARNER AND THE K KIDS AND CHRISTINE WELLS FOR THE REPORT.

THANK YOU TO OUR PUBLIC COMMENTERS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO MAKE A QUICK NOTE THAT APPARENTLY LAST WEEK WAS NATIONAL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL APPRECIATION WEEK SO I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DO CRITICAL WORK EVERY DAY. I WANT TO NOTE ONE OF THE DISTRICT MEDICATIONS THAT WENT OUT PAST WEEK WAS TO SHARE INFORMATION FROM THOUSAND OAKS ON E-BIKES SAFETY. AND I WANT TO THANK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I ENCOURAGE ALL FAMILIES TO READ THAT INFORMATION THE DISTRICT SENT OUT. THEY HAVE REALLY NICE GRAPHICS. THERE HAS RECENTLY BEEN MORE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND KIDS ON E-BIKES BUT I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM PARENTS AND STAFF ABOUT THEIR CONCERN ON E- BIKES FROM THE LAST YEAR OR TWO JUST THE SAFETY AROUND AND ON CAMPUSES. PLEASE TAKE HEED AND THINK ABOUT SAFETY, PLEASE. I DON'T WANT TO REHASH EVERYTHING, I THINK EVERYONE HAS MENTIONED EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN TO IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

JUST THE GREAT JOY WAS ALSO THE CTE INAUGURAL SHOWCASE. IT WAS AMAZING. THE JOGGER PHONE WAS SO MUCH FUN. PERFORMANCES LIKE HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE AMAZING DANCE SHOWCASE AT NEWBERRY PARK HIGH SCHOOL AND ULTRA IS ACCESSIBLE WHICH I WENT TO LAST NIGHT AND THERE WILL BE A FEW MORE NIGHTS TO SEE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. I KNOW EVERYBODY IS MORE THAN READY FOR

[K. Comments - Superintendent]

SPRING BREAK SO ENJOY IT I HOPE IT IS RESTFUL AND SAFE. WITH

THAT, DR. MCCLELLAN. >> VERY SHORT COMMENT TONIGHT. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE SPRING BREAK AND HAS TIME TO REST AND RELAX. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY TAKE MANAGE OF THAT IT WILL GO VERY QUICKLY

WHEN WE GET BACK. >> OKAY. WE'RE ONTO SECTION 5 A , FUTURE BOARD TOPICS ACTIVITIES. ANYONE HAVE COMMENTS

OR ADDITIONS TO THE LIST? >> YEAH, I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A TIMELY TIME TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE TITLE IX PROCEDURES , WHO IS INVOLVED, WHAT TRAINING WE PROVIDE, WHAT ARE THE PROCESSES, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. OKAY, I SEE NODS ACROSS

>> I JUST WANT TO ADD, WHAT INSTRUCTION OR WHAT WE DO WITH KIDS , I MEAN HOW WE INFORMED THEM, THINGS LIKE NO MEANS NO AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE CONSENT BEFORE ANY KIND OF STUFF LIKE THAT. WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS TEACHING THE KIDS THAT

>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE. FIRST OF ALL , WE HAVE AGREED THAT YES WE WANT TO DO THE TITLE IX PROCEDURES AND ARE

YOU TOGETHER? >> YES

>> I SEE NODS OVER THERE ON THAT . WANT TO GIVE MORE DESCRIPTION ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR THE PRESENTATION?

>> UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE CURRICULUM IS.

>> CALIFORNIA YOUTH ACT IS VERY EXPLICIT. CONSENT IS ONE OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN SEVENTH AND NINTH GRADE. WE DO HAVE SOME

[02:50:02]

FAMILIES WHO OPT OUT OF OUR MATERIALS AND WE KNOW SOME OF THE NINTH GRADERS TAKE HEALTH IN OTHER PLACES SO I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHAT MATERIAL IS BEING COVERED IN OUTSIDE AGENCIES BUT WE KNOW WHAT IS WITHIN TEAM TALK AND THAT IS SOMETHING THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO HAVE WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT CONSENT LOOKS LIKE IN THE NINTH GRADE MATERIALS. IS THERE

SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? >> I WOULD SAY ALL THOSE MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE PUBLICLY ONLINE. WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION THE REPORT, JUST POINTING OUT THE SPECIFIC SESSIONS THAT POINT TO THOSE. I DON'T THERE ARE TWO

CHAPTERS OR SECTIONS . >> DOES THAT SOUND GOOD TO YOU?

>> I WOULD ADD THERE IS A REQUEST OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE DO IN TEAM TALK, THE SAFE SCHOOLS CVUSD GROUP THAT EXISTS WHILE WE RECEIVED VERY FEW EMAILS FROM THE DAIS MAYBE ONE EMAIL EACH FROM THIS GROUP. HENCE WHY MY COMMENT TONIGHT, CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A CONTACT OF SOMEONE WITHIN THIS GROUP SO WE CAN REACH OUT OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WE CAN REACH OUT TO BECAUSE OUTSIDE OF KNOWING WHO THEIR CONTACT WOULD BE OR THE PERSON THEY'RE LOOKING TO LEAD THIS GROUP, WE HAVE HAD SO VERY FEW COMMENTS OR EMAILS THAT WE DON'T KNOW . WE COULD GUESS AND ASSUME BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING. WE NEED TO KNOW WHO A CONTACT IS AND WE WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS BUT SAFE SCHOOL CVUSD WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE EMAIL MAYBE EACH FROM THE COMMUNITY GROUP HERE AND THAT DOESN'T GIVE US. IT'S ANONYMOUS. IT DOESN'T GIVE US ANY WANT TO REACH OUT AND HAVE A FURTHER CONVERSATION . IF THERE WAS ANY CONFUSION ON MY COMMENT, AS WE ARE ENDING PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. WE NEED SOMEONE IN THIS GROUP THAT WE CAN SPEAK TO IF WE WANT TO HAVE DIALOGUE WITH THE DISTRICT.

OUTSIDE OF THAT IT'S JUST ANONYMOUS

>> THANK YOU. I HAD SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE US TO HAVE A PRESENTATION ON EVENTUALLY. I'M NOT NECESSARILY SAYING IT HAS TO BE THE FAULT OR ANYTHING. IT WOULD BE ON NUTRITION SERVICES GIVEN WE HAVE A NEW DIRECTOR COMING IN. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE MADE SOME STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO THE DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF HOW IT WILL WORK. I WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD BE INTERESTED EVEN IF IT'S LATE IN THE 25 26 SCHOOL YEAR .

>> OH YEAH. THAT'S WHY I -- DOES THAT SEEM OKAY? EXCELLENT.

OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OTHERWISE WE ARE AT B. MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 8:53 P.M. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
