. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS AMBER LYNN MARTINEZ. I'M A SENIOR IN THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND CULINARY ARTS PATHWAY AT JOHN O'CONNOR HIGH SCHOOL. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES WHERE THEY HAVE CHANGED ME AS A PERSON. SOME EXAMPLES ARE MY TWO INTERNSHIPS THE CAPSTONE POP UPS AS WELL AS A LUNCH AS WE PREPARE FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND EVENTS. >> THESE EXPERIENCES HAVE HELPED ME GROW AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT IN SPEAKING WITH PEOPLE AND ALSO LEARN HOW TO BE A LEADER IN THE KITCHEN AND OUTSIDE. I ALSO GAINED SOME DAILY SKILLS LIKE COOKING THAT I FEEL ARE VERY VALUABLE. THESE PATHWAYS HELPED ME LEARN SOME VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE WORLD AND THE WORKFORCE. WE ALSO LEARN HISTORICAL ROOTS OF FOOD THROUGH HISTORY AND ENGLISH. I WOULD WANT THE BOARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PATHWAYS ARE LIKE FAMILY AND A VALUABLE PART OF THE SCHOOL AND THE TEACHERS NEED COMMON PLANNING TIME TO MAKE THE PATHWAY HAPPEN. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY

MY EXPERIENCE HELPED ME BUILD SOFT SKILLS LIKE COMMUNICATION ,COLLABORATION, PROBLEM SOLVING AND THINKING LIKE ENTREPRENEUR IS RECOGNIZED UPON AS AN OPPORTUNITY. I ALSO GAIN REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE INCLUDING SETTING UP AND MANAGING A POP UP RESTAURANT. IF TEACHERS LOSE COMMON PLANNING TIME IT MAY BECOME HARDER TO SUSTAIN THESE PARTNERSHIP IN ONLINE PROJECTS. AS A STUDENT WHO HAS DIRECTLY BENEFITED, I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER HOW THIS DECISION IMPACTS OUR REAL WORLD LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. UM UH, HI. MY NAME IS TWINE. I'M A SENIOR IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE PATHWAY. UM, PUBLIC SERVICE IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITE PLACES TO BE. I LOVE THE PATHWAY SYSTEM AND IT REALLY MAKES SCHOOL FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE. AND LIKE SOMEWHERE I REALLY LIKE BEING, UM HAVING THE PATHWAY SYSTEM MEANS THAT ALL OF MY AFTERNOON COURSES ARE LIKE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER SO IT FEELS LIKE I GET TO LEARN ABOUT THINGS FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS. UM SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN AMERICA I GET TO LEARN ABOUT THAT IN THREE DIFFERENT CLASSES IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS AND FROM THREE DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW. AND IT MEANS THAT I HAVE A MUCH BETTER VIEWPOINT OF THE THINGS THAT I LEARN ABOUT. AND THE REASON THAT MY TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE TIME TO PLAN WITH EACH OTHER. UM, THANK YOU. OKAY. IS IT OKAY IF HE DOESN'T SPANISH GIRL TRANSLATE IN ENGLISH EITHER BECAUSE I'M EACH OF THEM. I LIKE HIM. OKAY. >> ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW, JUST

FOR EXAMPLE AT CSUF IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AND NEEDED AND THE VALUE THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO EARN FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE PATHWAY THAT I'M IN HAS HELPED ME UNDERSTAND PROBLEMS
BUT IT'S ALSO HELPED ME TO HOW TO PLAN AND TAKE ACTION FOR SOLUTIONS. IT'S ALSO HELPED ME WITH PUBLIC SPEAKING AND THAT'S THE REASON I'M HERE. THAT'S A GOOD SPOT FOR REPRESENTATION YOU CANNOT SOLVE MY YOU ARE ME PERILOUS YOU ENTER AND THEN AS SOON AS THIS ONE WHICH GROWS SO I URGE YOU TO PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION. >> THIS DOESN'T JUST HELP ME BUT IT HELPS FUTURE GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS.

FOR YEARS THESE GAPS HAVE PERSISTED AND NOW AS LAYOFFS OF INSTRUCTIONAL AIDES AND LANGUAGE PROGRAM EDUCATORS ARE BEING PROPOSED, THE VERY STAFF THAT SUPPORT OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS THE MESSAGE OUR COMMUNITIES RECEIVE IS THAT THEIR SUPPORT IS NEGOTIABLE BUT NOT NEGOTIABLE. THIS IS THE CONTEXT OF LA POLITICA IS TAKEN TO PUT ABLE PRESS SUPUESTO IS TO COME TO ADOPT A LEVEL CAP BUT OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE. THIS BOARD SETS POLICY. THIS BOARD APPROVES A BUDGET.

THANK YOU THAN GOOD EVENING BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT MY NAME IS OLIVIA CLARK AND I WILL BE SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING COMMON PLANNING TIME FOR OUR TEACHERS. >> I AM CURRENTLY IN MY FIRST YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT I AM IN THIS POSITION BECAUSE OF THE CAREER TECHNICAL PATHWAY SYSTEM AT JOHN O'CONNELL HIGH SCHOOL I GRADUATED FROM O'CONNELL WITH THE CLASS OF 2020 BEING A PART OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE PATHWAY OFFERED BY O'CONNELL TAUGHT ME VALUABLE SKILLS ON RESEARCH AND WRITING
THAT I USE IN LAW SCHOOL TODAY ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL PROJECTS THAT WE HAD WAS TO FOLLOW THE CASE OF A CHILD ASYLUM SEEKER WHO WAS BEING DENIED HIS RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL. >> WE ATTENDED ONE OF HIS COURT PROCEEDINGS AND CONJUNCTIVE WE LEARNED ABOUT DUE PROCESS WHICH IS A TOPIC THAT I LEARNED NOW IN LAW SCHOOL. MY TEACHERS LATER CONNECTED ME WITH SANTA MARIA LAW FIRM WHICH INSPIRED ME TO CONTINUE WORKING IN IMMIGRATION. I OWE MUCH OF MY SUCCESS TO THE EXPERIENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES I WAS GIVEN BY THIS PATHWAY. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE PROTECT COMMON PLANNING TIME AND PROTECT THE VALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES PATHWAYS PROVIDE FOR STUDENTS. >> THANK YOU. HELLO. BOARD OF EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT MY NAME IS ELLEN ARROYO. I AM A PRODUCT OF SFI USD. I HAVE WORKED IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 22 YEARS. I CURRENTLY STAND AS THE HEAD DEPARTMENT HEAD OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AT JOHN O'CONNELL HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT OUR COMMON PLANNING TIME GOAL THREE STATES THAT COLLEGE AND CAREER
IS IMPORTANT AS A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER WHO WATCHES THE BOARD MEETINGS OFTEN I REALIZE THERE ARE NOT MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES FOR SCHOOL TO CAREER FOR INTERNSHIP AND AT JOHN O'CONNELL 100% OF OUR STUDENTS GET ACCESS GETS INTEGRATED CLASSES WITH A SPECIAL EDUCATOR IN THEIR CLASSROOMS SO THEY HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE PROGRAM AND OUR GRADUATES ARE SO PROUD TO KNOW THAT THEY GOT TO DO THE WHOLE PROGRAM AND 100% AND I JUST WANT THIS BOARD TO UNDERSTAND IF YOUR GOAL IS TO GET 56% AND CURRENTLY ONLY 16% OF OUR 12TH GRADERS ARE IN A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR KIDS IN SCHOOL FOR A FULL DAY 100% AND THE WAY THAT WE DO THAT IS BY INTEGRATING OUR PLANNING AND REALLY CARING FOR OUR KIDS OUR STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHICH IS STUDENTS YOU KNOW, REAL NEEDS COMES OUT IN THOSE MEETINGS. WE SUPPORT OUR KIDS WITH LOVE AND WE'RE GIVEN THE TIME, THE SUPPORT TO DO THE PLAYING THAT WE NEED AND I HOPE THAT CONTINUES. >> GOOD EVENING.
BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SUPERINTENDENT MY NAME IS JULIANA MALU. I'M A PART OF THE HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES PATHWAY A JOHN O'CONNELL YEAH. I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO RESERVE OUR COMMON PLANNING TIME BECAUSE IT IS VERY VALUABLE TIME FOR US BEING NEW TO THE PATHWAY AFTER FILLING IN SOME SHOES FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS IN THE DISTRICT I SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF IT. IT'S TIME TO PLAN. TIME TO PREP ALLOWS US TO ASSESS LESSONS NOT ONLY THAT ALLOWS FOR INTEGRATED PROJECTS TO OCCUR WITHOUT THIS TIME WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MEET AS A TEAM WITH THE HEALTH SCIENCE TEACHER, WITH AN ENGLISH TEACHER ALLOWS US TO DISCUSS STUDENTS AND WITH REAL TIME ABILITY TO HELP THEM. SO I WOULD JUST URGE YOU TO PLEASE PRESERVE THIS TIME FOR US BECAUSE IT IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT YOU SEE ALLOWS US TO PLAN FOR FIELD TRIPS AS WELL AND OUTSIDE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND GUEST SPEAKERS AND ALL THESE THINGS.
SO THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS AND DR. SUE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. MY NAME IS SAM NELSON. I'M A REGISTERED NURSE MANY YEARS AT THE VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THEN HERE IN OUR BACKYARD AS A GENERAL IN THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I'M THE HEALTH SCIENCES TEACHER AT JOHN O'CONNELL HIGH SCHOOL SERVING IN THE HEALTH SCIENCES, HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES PATHWAY . ECHOING THE COMMON THREAD THAT YOU'RE HEARING TONIGHT IN ADVOCATING FOR THE COMMON PLANNING TIME THE PREPARATION TIME IN THIS MODEL IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THAT COORDINATED EFFORT. THE CLASSES FUNCTION TOGETHER AS A SINGLE COORDINATED PATHWAY. EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS AND TIMELINES ARE INTEGRATED ACROSS SUBJECTS AND ALL OF US TEACHERS MEET EVERY SINGLE DAY IN OUR CASE AND SECOND PERIOD OF THE DAY TO DISCUSS THE ACADEMIC PROGRESS OF OUR STUDENTS, THE BEHAVIORAL NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND THE LEARNING NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS MANY OF WHOM HAVE FIVE OR FOURS INTO IEPS AND OTHER UNDIAGNOSED NEEDS.
I ADDITIONALLY THIS TIME IS ESSENTIAL FOR THAT PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTED THOSE COORDINATED PROJECTS BUT ALSO THE MONTHS LONG REAL WORLD INTERNSHIPS THAT OUR STUDENTS UTILIZE EVERY WEEK. SO PLEASE CONSIDER MAINTAINING THAT COMMON PLANNING TIME. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING DR. SUE AND COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS MIKE STAFFORD. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE S.F. USDA PRE-K THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL CURRENTLY AT MARINA MIDDLE SCHOOL AND LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL. I AM HERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF FTE FOR ARTS PROGRAMS IF WE'RE COMMITTED TO BUILDING THE VALUES IN OUR CHILDREN LIKE CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY AND MENTAL HEALTH THAN ARTS PROGRAMS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. IT'S SO COMMON THAT WHEN DISTRICTS TIGHTEN THEIR BELTS, ARTS PROGRAMS GET CUT BUT THAT'S REALLY SHORTSIGHTED. UNLIKE MATH AND ENGLISH AND SCIENCE, WHEN ARTS TEACHERS WHEN ARTS TEACHER POSITIONS GET CUT, THE PROGRAMS DIE AND IT'S PROHIBITIVELY DIFFICULT TO BRING THEM BACK.
I KNOW THAT THE BAND PROGRAM FOR EXAMPLE AT MARINA IS THREATENED BY THIS VERY PROBLEM A PROGRAM THAT BOTH MY KIDS PARTICIPATED IN AND HAVE BENEFITED FROM. I'M HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD TO FULLY FUND FTE IS FOR MUSIC AND ARTS TEACHERS TO MAINTAIN THESE ESSENTIAL ARTS PROGRAMS. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WELL NOW MOVE TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON NINE AGENDA ITEMS PLEASE LINE UP AS I CALL YOUR NAME ERICA G. ANDREA PEREIRA SARAH GROSSMAN AND LIANA STUDLEY FRANK LARA AND TEYANA TAYLOR. HELLO. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS ERICA. I'M A PUBLIC SCHOOL PARENT AND AN ARTS EDUCATOR AND I AM ALSO HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR ARTS FUNDING SPECIFICALLY ANY PROPOSAL THAT I'VE SEEN CIRCULATING TO UNRESTRICTED SLAM FUNDING THAT'S SPORTS LIBRARIES, ARTS AND MUSIC FOR GENERAL WILL USE ARTS AREN'T EXTRA THEY ARE EXISTENTIAL ARTS ARE WELLNESS ARTS ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION. WE ARE AT A TIME WHEN THE
REGION IS HEMORRHAGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG ARTISTS TO FIND THEIR VOICE, TO FIND THEIR PLACE, TO FIND MEANS OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND TO FIND SELF-ESTEEM. AS YOU KNOW, NEXT YEAR WE WON'T BE WITHOUT A STANDALONE NONPROFIT ART SCHOOL IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE DON'T HAVE MANY ARTS TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES LEFT IN THIS REGION AND I IMPLORE YOU TO DO YOUR PART TO PRESERVE ARTS EDUCATION HERE IN THIS GREAT CITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. HI, I'M ANDREA PERATA. I HAVE TWO KIDS AT SUNNYSIDE. UM, AND I JUST I WANTED TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS YOU KNOW, WE STOOD IN SUPPORT OF OUR EDUCATORS DURING THE STRIKE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN FULLY FUNDED, FULLY STAFFED SCHOOLS. WE'VE HEARD AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY STRETCHED TOO THIN AND IF THERE ISN'T ENOUGH NOW THE ANSWER CANNOT BE CUTS. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE MORE THAN THE BARE MINIMUM THEY DESERVE ART. THEY DESERVE MUSIC COUNSELING. THESE ARE NOT EXTRAS. THEY'RE ESSENTIAL TO A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION TO STUDENTS MENTAL HEALTH AND TO THEIR SUCCESS.
THOSE POSITIONS MUST BE PROTECTED. YOU SAW HOW SAN FRANCISCO SHOWED UP FOR OUR EDUCATORS. NOW WE'LL CONTINUE TO SHOW UP FOR OUR STUDENTS. YOU NEED TO USE THOSE 400 MILLION IN RESERVES NOW AND FIGURE IT OUT WITH THE STATE HOW TO FUND THE REST OF THE ESSENTIALS AT OUR SCHOOLS NO CUTS FULLY STAFFED, FULLY SUPPORTED SCHOOLS. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SARAH GROSSMAN. SWENSON I'M A PARENT AT GRATON ELEMENTARY AND APG AND ANY I ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER PARENTS WALKED THE PICKET LINES AT GROTON AND APG SUPPORTING OUR EDUCATORS IN THEIR FIGHT FOR FULLY STAFFED, FULLY FUNDED SCHOOLS. IT'S VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THERE IS BROAD MOMENTUM RIGHT NOW FOR INCREASING FUNDING FOR OUR DISTRICT AND I THINK WE NEED TO PURSUE CHANGES AT THE STATE LEVEL TO THE WAY THAT ADA IS BEING DONE AND CHANGES AT THE CITY LEVEL TO DIRECT ACCESS ERAP FUNDING BACK TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND SO I WOULD URGE YOU ALL TO BE LEADERS. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO BRING OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. IT WE WE CAN'T SUSTAIN ADDITIONAL CUTS AT OUR SCHOOLS. WE NEED MORE MONEY. >> THANK YOU, MICHAEL. HI, I'M MINA AND I'M ELIANA. WE SUPPORTED THE EDUCATORS STRIKE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN FULLY FUNDED, FULLY STAFFED AND FULLY SUPPORTED SCHOOLS. SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY UNDERSTAFFED AND CUTS WILL ONLY MAKE EXISTING PROBLEMS WORSE. PLEASE DON'T LAY OFF OUR TEACHERS. THANK YOU. OH, CHICKEN FIGHT AMONG OKAY. OH, GOODNESS. HEY, Y'ALL. HEY. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS T.A. HILLARY. I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR PARENT EDUCATORS WITH UNICEF. UM, AND I URGE YOU NOT TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR WORKFORCE REDUCTION. YES, ENROLLMENT HAS INCLINED HAS DECLINED. YES, THE DISTRICT FACE A DEFICIT BUT THE ANSWER CANNOT BE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET OFF THE BACKS OF THE VERY EDUCATORS
WHO HOLD OUR SCHOOLS TOGETHER. IF YOU WHEN YOU REDUCE FOR POSITIONS YOU ARE NOT REDUCING NUMBERS ON A SPREADSHEET. YOU ARE REDUCING READING SUPPORT FOR A STRUGGLING THIRD GRADER. YOU'RE REDUCING BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT FOR A STUDENT IN CRISIS. YOU'RE REDUCING THE TRUSTED ADULT. A NEWCOMER STUDENT DEPENDS ON TO FEEL SAFE AND SEE WE CANNOT CLAIM EQUITY AS A PRIORITY WHILE CUTTING THE PEOPLE WHO DELIVER EQUITY EVERY SINGLE DAY . PRELIMINARY LAYOFFS CAN CREATE INSTABILITY FEAR INTERNAL TURNOVER THEY HARM MORALE, MORALE AND DRIVE TALENTED EDUCATORS OUT OF OUR DISTRICT AT A TIME WHEN STUDENTS NEED CONSISTENCY THE MOST. IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FINANCIAL RECOVERY AND ENDING STATE OVERSIGHT THEN WE MUST ALSO BE SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING CLASSROOM STABILITY AND STUDENT SUPPORT. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD NOT COME AT THE COST OF EDUCATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I URGE YOU TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVES FACE ADJUSTMENTS TO THOUGHTFULLY ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL REVENUE BUT DO NOT APPROVE WORKFORCE REDUCTION THAT WILL DEEPEN INEQUITIES AND HARM STUDENTS. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE STABILITY . EDUCATORS DESERVE RESPECT AND OUR DISTRICT DESERVES SOLUTIONS THAT DON'T SACRIFICE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS WORK. THANK YOU. >> EVENING, EVERYONE. EVENING BOARD. EVENING SUPERINTENDENT, EVEN HER CROWD AND ALSO TO THE FOLKS LISTENING. MY NAME IS FRANK LATTA. I AM THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF UNITED EDUCATORS OF SAN FRANCISCO REPRESENTING OVER THE 6000 MEMBERS WHO JUST RECENTLY AND I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT HERE ON THE BOARD RECENTLY CARRIED OUT THE FIRST STRIKE IN OVER 50 YEARS AND IT'S A STRIKE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE NOTE IN THIS ROOM, IN THIS RECORDING WHAT WE JUST LIVED THROUGH BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONLY IN THE HISTORY MAKING OF WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE
SAY WE FIGHT FOR THE SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS DESERVE BUT ALSO SHOWS I THINK A PATH FORWARD. WE HAD A PARENT JUST MENTIONED RIGHT NOW HOW SHE FELT THAT ENERGY AND WE FELT IT OVER 120 SCHOOL SITES WHAT EXIST OUT THERE FOR US TO ACTUALLY EXPENSIVE USD INSTEAD OF THE CONSTANT CONVERSATION WE HEAR ABOUT THE NEED FOR CUTS. >> SO FOR THE FOLKS WHO WEREN'T PROBABLY PAYING ATTENTION WHICH WERE FEW BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT BRINGING BACK AN OLD SAN FRANCISCO, A SAN FRANCISCO THAT PEOPLE REMEMBER ARE FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE FOR EQUITY IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY NOT IN A MODERATED MAYBE YES MAYBE NO. MAYBE I CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BUT FOR FOUR DAYS WE HAD ALMOST A SUPERMAJORITY TO MAINTAIN AT THE PICKET LINE ALL OF OUR EDUCATORS WITH OUR FAMILIES PASSING OUT DONUTS, ROSES, MUSIC, CLEANING YOGA CLASSES WE HAD FOUR DAYS OF ACTION ONE DAY AT CITY HALL WITH 10,000 FOLKS
COMING OUT. WE'RE ONLY 6000 SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT THAT WAS ON TUESDAY WE MARCHED FROM DOLORES PARK DOWN TO CIVIC CENTER WITH OVER 15,000 PEOPLE. THEN WE CAME OUT IN THE THOUSANDS ON WEDNESDAY TO THE BEACH TO NOTE THE HISTORICAL SAN FRANCISCO MINOR WHAT IT MEANT FOR US TO BE OUT ON STRIKE AND FINALLY AND IT WASN'T NECESSARY TO GO TO THE FOURTH DAY BUT THERE WE WERE 20,000 PEOPLE TAKING OVER MARKET STREET IN ORDER TO SHOW THE LEVEL OF UNITY, THE LEVEL OF IMAGERY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. >> A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES ARE WONDERING WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS AND WHEN THE NEXT STEPS ARE AROUND WHAT AS A FEW AS THE CAN DO INSTEAD OF WHAT IT CAN DO IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING TO YOU TONIGHT IS YOUR EDUCATORS SHOWED YOU THE POWER THEY HAVE AND WE ARE LEAVING NONE OF THAT . >> WE SAID BACK IN NOVEMBER UNTIL WE OFFER A VISION FOR WHAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS SHOULD LOOK LIKE UNTIL WE OFFER A VISION OF HOW TO EXPAND ENROLLMENT USING WOMAN AT EVERY CORNER PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHEAST SIDE WHICH IS OUR LARGEST GROWING DISTRICT, WE WON'T
ACTUALLY BE TALKING IN THE SAME LANGUAGE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO SUPPORT AS A FEW AS THE I KNOW TODAY'S CONVERSATION THE PRESENTATION HERE BY UCSF BECAUSE WE ARE NOT DONE WE SAID IN JANUARY OUR MEMBERS ARE READY TO WALK THE PICKET LINE IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WE WEREN'T LISTENED TO. WE SPENT 11 MONTHS NEGOTIATING AND WE WEREN'T LISTENING TO WE'RE TELLING YOU NOW WE HAVE THE VISION. WE KNOW THAT WHAT IT MEANS TO EXPAND AS A VIEW IS THAT FAMILIES WANT TO INVEST IN AS HAVE USD AND THE FIRST STEP TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY IS WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH ENROLLMENT. THE FACT THAT WE STILL HAVE AN ENROLLMENT PROCESS THAT LOSES 40% OF FAMILIES WHEN WE GET 2000 FAMILIES AND LOSE 400 SORRY AND LOSE FOUR HUNDRED OF THEM THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FACT THAT WE'RE STILL FIGURING OUT WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE BILINGUAL PROGRAMS, DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO REDESIGN THE HIGH SCHOOL PORTFOLIO THESE ARE LONG TERM THINGS AND SO WE'RE TELLING YOU
TO OUR MEMBERS HERE HAVING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CUTS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE, WHAT CUTS ARE NECESSARY. YOU DON'T BUILD A DISTRICT BASED ON CUTS AND WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT SAME LEVEL OF ENERGY NOW THAT WE'RE BACK. I KNOW THAT FOLKS ARE BACK INTO REPORT CARDS. I KNOW THAT FOLKS ARE BACK IN THE GRIND. BUT REMEMBER THAT HOPE REMEMBER THOSE VALUES BECAUSE YOU'RE UNION THE EDUCATORS WHICH WE HAVE 90% OF EDUCATORS IN THEIR UNION. SO YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE UNION AND THE EDUCATORS BECAUSE THE ONES WHO PAID ATTENTION WAS WHEN WE WERE ORGANIZED. THAT'S WHEN WE FINALLY GOT A CALL FROM A MAYOR WHO GAVE WHO WE SPENT A WHOLE YEAR WAITING RIGHT. AND IF THEY WANT TO SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION WE WELCOME THEM BUT THEY WILL DO SO IN COLLABORATION WITH THEIR EDUCATORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. >> SO LA LUCHA COMPANEROS, COMPANEROS DOLLARS FAMILIES BECAUSE SOME OF THE KEY COUNTRIES I CALL NEEDLESS WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THE DISTRICT AND IF FOLKS ARE NOT READY TO JUMP ON BOARD ON A DISTRICT THAT EXPANDS INSTEAD OF CUTS THEN WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE ORGANIZE OURSELVES AND SHOW THE POWER THAT WE HAD
IN THE STRIKE IS ALSO THE POWER WE USE TO EXPAND THIS DISTRICT . WE WILL NOW WE WILL NOW MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT FROM AND SOON WE WILL HEAR FROM STUDENTS WHO WISH TO SPEAK FIRST. IF YOU ARE A STUDENT AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU ARE A STUDENT PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. I SEE ONE HAND RACHEL JONES OH NO I TAKE THAT BACK. OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY STUDENTS AT THIS TIME. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN ZOOM, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. OKAY. WE'LL GO WITH KENA. GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT SUE AND THE COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS KANA HAZELWOOD. I USE ANNA'S PRONOUNS AND THE DISTRICT COORDINATOR FOR LGBTQ STUDENT SERVICES. I WANT TO COMMEND DR. SUE FOR THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN IN GALVANIZING SUPERINTENDENTS ACROSS THE STATE TO LOBBY PRESSURE AGAINST
THAT STATE TO ADDRESS THE VERY REAL NEED OF OUR STUDENTS FOR MORE FUNDING. OUR SCHOOLS NEED IT NOW. WE NEED TO SHIFT THE WAY THE FORMULA IS HAPPENING AND THANK YOU FOR LEADING THE CHARGE ON THIS. THESE FUNDS ARE NOT JUST NEEDED FOR ABSTRACT FUTURE BUT TO PROTECT AND UPLIFT THE QUALITY EDUCATION OF THESE CURRENT STUDENTS. IF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FAMILIES LIKE MINE FOR OVER THREE GENERATIONS CONTINUED TO CHOOSE AS OPPOSED FROM T K THROUGH 12 WE NEED TO PROVIDE A VIBRANT CLASSROOMS HEALTH ARTS INTEGRATED CLASSROOMS, SANCTUARY SCHOOLS WITH FULLY STOCKED WELLNESS CENTERS IS HOW WE DO NOT ONLY KEEP THESE STUDENTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE BUT BRING IN MORE INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON CUTS I CALL ON YOU ALL TO DREAM A VISION AND FIGHT FOR THE SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS DESERVE. YOU CAN DO IT WITH US. YOU HAVE THE POWER. WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER. THANK YOU WILL NOW HEAR FROM SARAH.
SARAH GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. I COMMISSIONERS MY NAME IS SARAH WILSON. I'M A PARENT OF A SIXTH GRADER AT JAMES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO SUPPORT OUR EDUCATOR AND THE REST OF THE STAFF FROM THE DISTRICT WHO ARE STRIKING TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE REASON I WAS EXCITED WAS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THOSE STAFF AND EDUCATORS ARE FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS GET THE EDUCATION THAT THEY NEED. WE ARE YOU ARE SEEING LAYOFFS. I'M GOING TO BE VOTING ON THEM TONIGHT AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE POINT THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUTTING THESE LAYOFFS ON THE TABLE WHETHER IT'S CHRIS NOT BENITO'S OR SUPERINTENDENTS WHO ARE NOT EDUCATORS AND NOT THINKING AS EDUCATORS AND WE NEED YOU SCHOOL BOARD PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POWER TO SAY YES OR NO TO THESE THINGS TO FOCUS ON OUR KIDS EDUCATION AND WHAT THE SCHOOLS ACTUALLY NEED TO BE SCHOOLS WHICH IS WHAT YOU STARTED TO DO BACK IN DECEMBER WHEN YOU VOTED DOWN THAT FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN AND WE NEED
YOU THE STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT NEED YOU TO CONTINUE TO STAND UP FOR THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. WE'LL NOW HEAR FROM ERIN ERIN DUMONT, GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. I'M SURE I DID. I ALWAYS DO. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. I'M DR. SUE. IT'S MARK ALMOST. WE'RE HERE AGAIN AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CUTS AGAIN. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE SAID THIS WE'VE SAID IT FOR YEARS NO CUTS, NO CLOSURES, NO COMPROMISES. THESE CUTS DO NOT BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS. THEY IN FACT HAVE THE ALTERNATIVE EFFECT ON THEM. AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD IT'S FOCUS ON THE SEVENTH PERIOD. WE'RE LOSING THAT SEVENTH PERIOD AFFECTS BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS AND DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS AND SPANISH SPEAKING STUDENTS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WOULD THEY LOSE AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD
FOR ELECTIVES, IT ALSO AFFECTS OUR SPED STUDENTS. SO IN CONSIDERING THIS, DO WHAT YOU DID IN DECEMBER VOTE NO ON THESE CUTS AND I ALSO LIKE TO ADVOCATE AGAIN FOR MORATORIUM ON FORECLOSURES. THANK YOU. WHEN I HEAR FROM VIRGINIA MARSHALL WAS MARSHALL GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE MY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO PRESIDENT KIM OR COMMISSIONERS SUPERINTENDENT SUE ON BEHALF OF THE ACP WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT THE STRIKE WAS SETTLED AND OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE STUDENTS WHERE YOU CAN'T YOU SAW HOW HAPPY THE STUDENTS WERE TO SEE THEIR TEACHERS. WE ARE ADVOCATING TONIGHT FOR NO OF COURSE THAT A SEVEN DAY ELECTIVES ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR THE FULL EDUCATION OF OUR STUDENTS. WE ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR OUR PARA EDUCATORS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY MANAGE TO LIVE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA ON THOSE SALARIES. WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT THEY GET
THE INCREASE THAT THEY SO WELL DESERVE AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU MAKE CUTS IT ALREADY FURTHER PUT BEHIND BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS PARTICULARLY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY BEHIND IN READING AND MATH. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WHEN I HEAR FROM KAREN BAILEY OR BAILEY, GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE . >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TARYN BAILEY AND I'M THE ORCHESTRA TEACHER AT PRESIDIO MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'M ALSO ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF INSTRUCTORS OF MUSIC. WE'RE A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION OF MUSIC EDUCATORS IN THE DISTRICT. YOUR PROPOSED CUTS AGAIN TARGET THE ARTS FIRST WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY NORMAL IN THIS DISTRICT BY CUTTING A MUSIC TEACHER AT MARINA MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU WERE EFFECTIVELY CANCELING THE BAND PROGRAM COMPLETELY. THE BAND TEACHER HAS WORKED IN THE DISTRICT FOR 12 YEARS AND HAS BUILT THE BAND PROGRAM OVER NINE YEARS UP TO FIVE CLASSES IF YOU APPROVE THESE CUTS THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A BAND PROGRAM AT MARINA MIDDLE SCHOOL ONE MUSIC TEACHER CANNOT
SUSTAIN ABANDONED ORCHESTRA PROGRAM ALONE. 120 STUDENTS WILL NO LONGER HAVE A PLACE OF BELONGING AT SCHOOL AS MANY IF NOT ALL MUSIC STUDENTS FEEL CONNECTED TO THEIR MUSIC TEACHER PEERS AND THE CLASSROOM THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE THEIR ART FORM ANY MORE. THIS IS NOT EQUITY. THIS IS NOT STUDENT CENTERED. USE YOUR 400 MILLION IN RESERVES TO FULLY STOP OUR SCHOOLS. CUTTING 13 TO 10 FTE IS IS BEYOND UPSETTING. MY SECOND WEEK AS A TEACHER AT BARBER HIGH SCHOOL A GUN WENT OFF IN MY ROOM. THE T TURNS WERE THERE ALMOST INSTANTLY. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE NOT THERE? WE NEED MORE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. THAT CONCLUDES YOUR TIME AND I'LL HEAR FROM KEVIN ROBINSON AS WELL AS I GO AHEAD AND LET ME KEVIN KING. HERE'S OKAY. WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU. WE'LL GO TO RACHEL JONES. RACHEL, GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE.
WELL, GOOD EVENING OR MEMBERS IN THE GALLERY OR SAYING I HAD TO MISS IN PLACE AND I DID WANT TO COME ON THIS ZOOM AND IMPLORE EVERYONE THAT'S SITTING AT THESE TABLES WE CANNOT DO LESS. WE CANNOT DO MORE WITH LESS LIKE WHEN WE LOOK AT NUMBERS, WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TAKING AWAY FROM STUDENTS, WHAT WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN AWAY FROM STUDENTS ARE STUDENTS COMING OUT OF S.F. USD. OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS ONLY 27.9 ARE ACCEPTED INTO U C CSU SYSTEMS AND ONLY 36% OF THE BAR HISPANIC STUDENTS ARE ACCEPTED INTO CSU. AND SO IF WE WANT TO BE MORE ATTRACTIVE TO NOT JUST TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS ,WHY DON'T WE DO THE MATH AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT DO MORE WITH LESS? WE CANNOT KEEP HAVING OUR STUDENTS IN OUR FUTURE WALKING OUT UNPREPARED AND UNMOTIVATED AND UNEDUCATED WITH THE LESS THAT WE'RE GIVING WE CANNOT KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH LESS WE CAN GIVE THEM.
THANK YOU. WELL, NOW GO TO KEVIN ROBINSON. KEVIN, GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. >> SAY THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? YES WE CAN HEAR YOU. YES. RATE UP. GOOD EVENING SUPERINTENDENT OF BOARD MEMBERS. HOW IRONIC IT IS NOW S.F. MUSIC WEEK AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS LOOKING AT CUTTING MUSICAL POSITIONS AMONG OTHERS. WHAT'S HARD TO FATHOM AND I HOPE FOLKS FROM THE MEDIA ARE LISTENING IS THAT THIS IS NOT A MONEY SHORTAGE ISSUE. I WAS DOING THE DISHES PUBLIC EDUCATION RICHMOND FUND COMMITTEE FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS. DURING THAT TIME I SAW CLOSE TO $200 MILLION COMING FROM THE CITY TO FUND EVERYTHING FROM SPORTS AND LIBRARIES TO ARTS AND MUSIC. SO WHERE THAT MONEY GO THIS IS AT THE VERY LEAST A CASE OF FISCAL MALFEASANCE AND YOU WONDER WHY THE DISTRICT IS IN THE SITUATION IT'S IN. WE CAN'T CONTINUE ON THIS COURSE AS WE'RE HEADED TOWARD DISASTER. SOMEONE MAYBE ME AND OTHERS NEED TO RIGHT THE SHIP BEFORE IT SINKS. I'M KEVIN ROBINSON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WELL, NOW HEAR FROM CAITLIN. GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE.
HELLO. ARE YOU STEPPING AWAY FROM MY FAMILY EATING DINNER TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL TONIGHT WHEN I SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED PARENT. >> AND I WANT TO ECHO WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING TO ME WHICH IS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WITH PRESSURING THE STATE BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT WITH WHAT WE HAVE WE GOT TO NOT BALANCE THIS BUDGET ON THE BACKS OF OUR STUDENTS. THE MONEY THAT IS GOING INTO THE RAINY DAY FUND IS MONEY YOU DID NOT SPEND ON OUR CHILDREN TODAY. IT'S MONEY THAT NEEDS TO BE SPENT ON OUR CHILDREN TODAY. >> AND THAT MEANS FULLY FUNDING ARTS, P.E. MUSIC, ALL OF THAT. I AGREE SO MUCH THAT WE NEED TO BE DOING MORE AND NOT LESS SO PLEASE AGAIN REPEAT YOUR PERFORMANCE WHERE YOU VOTED NO AND VOTE NO ON TONIGHT'S CUTS WE CAN GO BACK TO THEIR THANK YOU. WHAT I HEAR FROM CARRIE CARRIE, GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE.
HI I'M CARRIE ALSO AND AS THE FIRST PARENT I HAVE A KINDERGARTNER AT NEW TRADITIONS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST GOING TO ECHO A LOT OF WHAT THE OTHER PARENTS HAVE ALREADY SAID. WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW TRADITION BECAUSE IT HAS A PRETTY STRONG ART PROGRAM AND I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. SO TO HEAR THAT YOU THINK MAY BE CUT, I THINK IT'S VERY CONCERNING. I THINK, YOU KNOW, MATH AND SCIENCE IS WHAT PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK AT. BUT ART IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE GROWTH OF CHILDREN AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE A I THINK I AS A NEW PARENT JUST TO LEARN THAT LIKE EACH YEAR THERE HAS BEEN EXTRA MONEY LEFT OVER IT FEELS LIKE THAT MEANS THE CHILDREN FOR THAT YEAR GOT SHORTCHANGED AND WE SHOULDN'T DO THIS TO OUR CHILDREN. SCHOOL IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT I THINK IN IT EVEN IN THE UN CHARTER SO WE SHOULD BE DOING OUR BEST TO GIVE THE CHILDREN THE BEST THEY CAN AT SCHOOL AND KNOWING THAT THERE IS EXTRA
MONEY LEFT OVER AND SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SPENT TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL BETTER AND A BETTER SCHOOL WOULD DRAW ON MORE STUDENTS WHICH WOULD HELP WITH THE PROBLEM WITH NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY. >> I DO IMPLORE THE BOARD THANK YOU FOR A COMMENT THAT CONCLUDES YOUR TIME. WELL NOW HEAR FROM ON AVILES AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. HELLO. >> HI MY NAME IS AND I REALIZE I AM A PARENT OF A EIGHTH GRADER AT JAMES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND A FIFTH GRADER AT DANIEL. WHAT'S THE TRUTH AND MENTARY SCHOOL I GRADUATED FROM I SUPERVISED MANY MOONS AGO AND I'M HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND OUR FAMILIES AND I WAS STANDING WITH OUR EDUCATORS ON THE PICKET LINES EVERY DAY THAT I CAN AND I WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BESIDE THEM BEHIND THEM AND IN FRONT OF THEM TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. THEY ARE NECESSARILY DOING WHAT YOUR JOB IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IS PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN INSTEAD OF REMOVING
ACCESS TO CLASSES, ARTS CLASSES. PE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE AND NEED IN ORDER TO HAVE A LITTLE BREAK DOING MATH AND ACADEMICS READING AND WRITING. AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADVOCATING FOR THE SEVENTH PERIOD COURSE VERSUS THE SIXTH BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN YOU'RE TARGETING OUR STUDENTS, OUR SPANISH IMMERSION TRACK AND STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE EQUITY MEANS TO YOU GUYS. CAN YOU GUYS DEFINE EQUITY FOR US PLEASE? BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE THE WRONG DEFINITION OR MAYBE YOU HAVE THE WRONG DEFINITION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ALSO I INVITE YOU TO ACTUALLY IF YOU HAVE KIDS PUT THEM IN OUR SCHOOLS AND STOP TAKING THEM TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS BECAUSE THIS IS THE REAL DEAL HERE. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING. THAT CONCLUDES YOUR TIME WHEN I HEAR FROM CHRIS CLOUSE. GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE I'M CHRIS CLOSE THIS BAD DEPARTMENT HEAD AT WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT SUPPOSED DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ITS OWN BUDGET.
THIS HAS BEEN EVIDENT FOR YEARS NOW WITH CONSTANT PROJECTED DEFICITS LEADING TO TENS OF MILLIONS AND MORE IN SURPLUSES ADDED TO THAT. >> THE ENROLLMENT CENTER IS TRYING TO KILL SO MANY FANTASTIC PROGRAMS BY SIMPLY NOT PUBLICIZING AND PITCHING THOSE PROGRAMS TO FAMILIES OR SENDING FAMILIES THERE WHEN THERE ARE OPENINGS AND THEN LOWERING ENROLLMENT EXPECTATIONS FOR THOSE PROGRAMS SLOWLY KILLING THEM OVER TIME. I AM ENCOURAGING YOU SO STRONGLY NOW BOARD OF ED TO VOTE AGAINST LAYOFFS TO VOTE AGAINST THIS BUDGET PLAN. THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE. THIS IS NOT HELPING OUR STUDENTS. YOU NEED TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT BY THEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HEAR NOW FROM LAURA SO GO AHEAD AND UNMUTE. HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YES, GO AHEAD. OKAY. HELLO DR. SUE AND COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS LAURA KENNEDY. I'M A PARENT TO A FIRST GRADER AT EQUAL ELEMENTARY. THIS IS A KNOWLEDGE AND ITEM. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT. I WANT TO FIRST JUST EXTEND TREMENDOUS GRATITUDE TO DR. SUE
AND HER TEAM TO UCSF LEADERSHIP FOR THE WORK AND COMING TOGETHER TO AN AGREEMENT. THERE'S A LOT THAT I THINK WENT WRONG BUT I WANT TO FOCUS ON ARE SOME THINGS THAT WENT RIGHT AND SOME BRIGHT SPOTS THAT I HOPE THAT WE COULD CONTINUE AND SOME OF WHAT WE HEARD TONIGHT NUMBER ONE IS JUST AWARENESS ABOUT CALIFORNIA EDUCATION BEING UNDERINVESTED IN AND UNDERFUNDED DESPITE BEING THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY ON THE PLANET, 20 OTHER STATES FUND THEIR SCHOOLS ON A PER CAPITA BASIS MORE THAN CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS DO. WE ALSO SAW GREAT COLLABORATION ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND WITH CITY GOVERNMENT INCLUDING MAYOR LURIE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS PRE-COVID THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE INTEGRATION AND COLLABORATION AND REGULAR MEETINGS WITH SUPERVISORS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT CONTINUE. AND THE BEST THING OF ALL I THINK IT'S JUST A MINDSET MINDSET SHIFT STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT OUR SCHOOLS CAN GROW AND ROLLMAN CAN GROW. FUNDING CAN GROW WITH THE FISCAL PLAN AND TO CONTINUE TO
PUSH ON THAT AS A COMMUNITY AND COMING TOGETHER TO HAVE A GROWTH MINDSET AS OPPOSED TO JUST CONTINUED COST CUTTING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH PRESIDENT KIM. THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT.

I WOULD ALSO STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL COMMISSIONERS TO COME AND SEE THE BRILLIANCE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THEY PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO BEING LEADERS AT THEIR SCHOOL SIDE IN GALVANIZING AND BRINGING THEIR PEERS ALONG
AND IT CULMINATES IN THIS AMAZING STUDENT SUMMIT WHERE THEY REALLY CURATE EVERYTHING FROM START TO END AND AND THIS IS HOW AND THIS IS WHY WE WILL INCREASE ENROLLMENT AS OF USD BECAUSE WE'RE PRODUCING OUR FUTURES RIGHT HERE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE THE FUTURE LEADERS IN THE CITY AND I HAVE NO DOUBT NO DOUBT THAT YOU WILL BE AMAZING. OKAY. SO SPEAKING ABOUT AMAZINGNESS, I'VE GOT A FEW UPDATES FOR THE BOARD SO I WANT TO I KNOW IT'S BEEN REFERENCED ALREADY BUT I WANT TO BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING THIS REALLY, REALLY MONUMENTAL MOMENT IN OUR CITY. NEARLY TWO WEEKS AGO WE REACHED A TWO YEAR TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH OUR LABOR PARTNER UNITED EDUCATORS OF SAN FRANCISCO WHICH REPRESENTS THOUSANDS OF AMAZING EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT. THAT INCLUDES OUR TEACHERS, OUR PARENT EDUCATORS, OUR NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS,

WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS DO WELL WHEN THEY HAVE CONSISTENT EDUCATORS IN THEIR LIVES AND THE WAY FOR US TO HAVE CONSISTENT EDUCATORS HERE IS BY PROVIDING BENEFITS THAT REALLY MEET THEIR NEEDS. AT THE SAME TIME I WANT OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT WE TAKE OUR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY. WE ARE DEVELOPING A CLEAR PLAN TO DEMONSTRATE LONG TERM STABILITY WHICH WILL BE SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC AT OUR NEXT MEETING IN MARCH ON MARCH 10TH.

WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM F WORKSHOP ON STUDENT OUTCOMES GOAL THREE PROGRESS MONITORING I CALL ON THE SUPERINTENDENT UH TO INTRODUCE THIS ITEM. THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM AS STAFF COMES UP TO THE DAIS UM I DO WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE HOW HARD STAFF HAS WORKED OVER THE PAST THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS NOW SINCE THE START OF SCHOOL IN REALLY TRYING TO TO EMBRACE THIS THE THE NOTION OF CONTINUITY AND COHERENCE ACROSS DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. AND SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE THAT COHERENCE AND SUPPORT ACROSS DIVISIONS IN THE PRESENTATION. AND I JUST I JUST REALLY AM SUPER PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK TO DO TO BE DONE BUT WE'RE SEEING THE COORDINATION, THE COLLABORATION AND THE COHERENCE PAYING OFF BECAUSE WE'RE SLOWLY SEEING THE THE POSITIVE MOMENTUM MOVING MOVING TOWARDS THE OUTCOMES. SO WITH THAT I AM GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO YOU ALL AND YOU CAN
INTRODUCE YOURSELF WHEN YOU SPEAK. THANK YOU, DR. SU. THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM, VICE PRESIDENT HULING AND COMMISSIONERS. TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD THE PROGRESS MONITORING REPORT FOR GOAL THREE FOCUSED ON COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. THE REPORT IS GROUNDED IN OUR VISION VALUES, GOALS AND GUARDRAILS FRAMEWORK AND REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO STUDENT OUTCOMES GOVERNANCE AND REALLY FOCUSING OUR STUDENTS. TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION WILL WALK THROUGH THE DATA THE INTERPRETATION, THE EVIDENCE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD SO WE CAN CONTINUE STRENGTHENING OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS AND KEEPING STUDENTS AT THE CENTER. I WILL NOW HAND IT OVER TO ASSISTANT AS ASSISTANT SUPERINTEND ANANT GOLDWASSER TO INTRODUCE ME. >> SURE. WE'RE GOING TO START ACTUALLY WITH PATRICK AND I'LL LET HIM INTRODUCE HIMSELF. >> HI EVERYONE. PATRICK WEST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THE DATA, I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE
HERE BUT WE ARE RECOGNIZE WE ARE REPRESENTING COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS ACROSS OUR SCHOOLS AND CENTRAL OFFICE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS WORK, DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THIS WORK. SO WHEN YOU HEAR US SAY WE JUST REMEMBER THAT WE ARE REFERRING TO SITE LEADERS, TEACHERS, COUNSELORS. PEREZ OUR CBOS, OUR CENTRAL OFFICE LEAD CCR, ALI C, C AND I, RPA STAFF AND MANY, MANY MORE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BEHIND ALL THE NUMBERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH WITH YOU TODAY. ALL RIGHT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THIS IS THE OVERALL GOAL THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS GOAL THAT THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT HAVE SET. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS A MEASURE THAT WAS SET BY THE CDE AND IT DOES ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE FOUR YEARS THAT A STUDENT IS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS A COMPLEX MEASURE THAT INCLUDES MULTIPLE FACTORS SUCH AS GRADES AND ENERGY COURSES, ASPECT SCORES, AP COURSE GRADES
AND AP EXAM SCORES. ENROLLMENT, CTE AND MANY OTHER FACTORS. >> WE HAVE WE ARE EXCITED TO SAY THAT WE HAVE LEFT THE FLATLINE THAT WE WERE ON 58%. WE HAVE MOVED UP TO 60% SO 60% OF OUR 2025 GRADUATES GRADUATED WITH A MARKER OF BEING COLLEGE AND OR CAREER READY. DUE TO THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR MEASURE WE ARE PURSUING A MORE SYSTEMATIC AND MULTIPRONGED AND LONG TERM APPROACH. >> FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE FOCUSING ON EARLY INTERVENTIONS BOTH IN THE NINTH AND THE 10TH GRADE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE AS WELL AS FOCUSING ON MATH BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT WILL HAVE A LONG TERM IMPACT ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH. THANK YOU AND JUST INTRODUCE MYSELF. I'M DAVINA GOLDWASSER, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. SO I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU AND THE NEXT SLIDE. NEXT SLIDE. GREAT. THANK YOU. SO THIS REPRESENTS OUR EARLY WARNING INDICATOR.
AND SO THIS MEASURE IS OUR APPROACH ACTIVE ALL HANDS ON DECK MEASURE WHERE WE LOOK AT HOW OUR EIGHTH GRADERS ENDED THE YEAR. AND THEN WE WRAP AROUND AND SUPPORT THIS GROUP OF FOCUS STUDENTS TO ENSURE THEIR SUCCESS IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH THIS THEORY THAT IF WE WRAP AROUND THEM VERY QUICKLY IN NINTH GRADE THAT THIS WILL INCREASE THEIR GRADUATION RATE AND THEIR SUCCESS OVERALL IN HIGH SCHOOL. SO AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR WE ARE AT THE 24% OF EXITING STUDENTS SO THAT THAT GROUP, THAT VOCAL GROUP, 24% OF THEM HAVE EXITED AND SO THAT EWG MARKER REPRESENTS THEIR GPA AND IT REPRESENTS THEIR ATTENDANCE WHERE WE HAVE CONCERNS AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE NOW AND THE MEASURE GOES TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR IN JUNE WHERE OUR TARGET IS 28%. THE THRESHOLD FOR THIS IS A 2.0. AND THE ATTENDANCE MARKER IS BELOW 87.5.
SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO MENTION IS THAT THIS YEAR WE HAD 25% MORE NINTH GRADERS THAT CAME IN WITH THIS INDICATOR THAN WE DID LAST SCHOOL YEAR. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE AND THAT REPRESENTS A SUBSET OF 3393 STUDENTS. JUST TO GIVE EVERYONE SOME PERSPECTIVE. ALL RIGHT. GOAL THREE POINT TWO IS OUR 10TH GRADE END OF YEAR ON TRACK TO GRADUATION MEASURE. WE ARE AT THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE CURRENT CURRENT SOPHOMORES IN SCHOOL. SO THIS MEASURE REFLECTS ARE THEY ON TRACK TO EARN THE NECESSARY CREDITS AND EARN THE NECESSARY CREDITS? IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THEY WOULD NEED TO GET A D OR HIGHER IN ANY OF THEIR NINTH AND 10TH GRADE REQUIRED COURSES. SO THERE ARE THREE SEMESTERS IN AND WE ARE AT 74% WHICH IS 4% HIGHER THAN OUR END OF THE YEAR GOAL. SO WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT WE AT THE END OF THIS PARTICULAR SEMESTER WE WILL AT LEAST REACH OR OR EXCEED OUR OUR GOAL IN THIS PARTICULAR MEASURE.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. INTERIM GOAL 3.3 FOCUSES ON GRADE NINE AND GRADE TEN STAR MATH PROFICIENCY. THIS IS A NEW INTERIM GOAL FOR US FOR THIS GOAL THREE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND YEAR OF STAFF ADMINISTRATION IN HIGH SCHOOLS. AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE TWO IMPROVEMENTS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR WHICH IS THE FIRST YEAR OF STAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. ONE THE PROFICIENCY RATES ARE HIGHER FOR BOTH WINDOWS OF ADMINISTRATION FOR BOTH FALL AND WINTER AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY D THE TRAJECTORY IS POSITIVE AND AS IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE REPORT FOR VARIOUS REASONS NOT JUST HIGH SCHOOL BUT ACROSS ALL GRADE BANDS WE HAVE TYPICALLY TENDED TO WITNESS A DECLINE FROM FALL TO WINTER AND ESPECIALLY IN MATH. SO EVEN THOUGH THE GAIN LOOKS SMALL JUST ONE PERCENTAGE POINT IT IS ACTUALLY A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT IN OUTCOMES FROM 38 TO 39%. AND UNLIKE LAST YEAR THERE WILL BE A THIRD ASSESSMENT WINDOW
WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE YEAR IN SPRING. AND THE TARGET FOR THAT IS 41% PROFICIENCY. AND WE GENERALLY ATTRIBUTE THIS IMPROVEMENT TO MANY THINGS. BUT ONE EXAMPLE MIGHT BE A JUST OVERALL GREATER FOCUS ON MATH NOT JUST IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT ALSO IN MIDDLE GRADES SPECIFICALLY AN EXAMPLE MIGHT BE TEAMS OF HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TAKING TURNS AND ROTATING AMONG SITES TO OBSERVE CLASSROOMS FOCUSING ON MATH AND GIVING FEEDBACK TO TEACHERS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT OUTCOMES. SO HOW WE'RE SUPPORTING THIS MORE BROADLY AND DEEPLY WE ARE INVOLVING STAFF ACROSS ROLES AT EACH SITE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AND WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IS ADMINISTRATORS REGULARLY ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TOGETHER. AND SO THIS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MATCH UP EXACTLY WITH ALL OF THE TIMELINES OF GOAL THREE. SO HAVING A VERY SPECIFIC MEETING RIGHT WHEN THE GRADING PERIOD COMES OUT TO DO A GRADES ANALYSIS, HAVING A MEETING VERY
SPECIFICALLY TIMED TO DO A DATA DIVE AFTER A STAR REPORT HAPPENS. AND THE SAME GOES FOR OUR EARLY WARNING INDICATOR AND EVERYTHING IS TIME TO WRAP AROUND THAT WHERE WE LOOK AT THE DATA OF HOW EACH SCHOOL IS GOING. WE SHARE BRIGHT SPOTS AROUND WHICH SCHOOLS ARE HAVING SUCCESS AND THOSE SITES SHARE MORE ABOUT WHAT IS LEADING TO THAT SUCCESS SO THAT THAT CAN BUILD ACROSS THE WHOLE DIVISION. THE OTHER PIECE IS HAVING NINTH GRADE TEACHERS REALLY KNOW WHO OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING IN WITH THIS INDICATOR SO THAT THEY CAN IN THEIR OWN TEAMS FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS AND WAYS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONNECT PERSONALLY WITH THESE STUDENTS AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE REALLY WRAPPING AROUND THAT SUPPORT COUNSELOR'S TAKING ON A CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT. THIS HAPPENS A LOT ALSO THROUGH OUR COORDINATED CARE TEAM WORK THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST AND HOW THEY SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH THE EARLY MORNING INDICATOR MARKER IS ONE OF THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT IS REGULARLY LOOKED AT IN THOSE COORDINATED CARE MEETINGS AND PROVIDING
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ALL OF OUR NINTH AND 10TH GRADE MATH TEACHERS. THIS WAS A NEW FEATURE THIS YEAR AS WE EMBARKED ON OUR NEW IDEA A AI MATH SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR STUDENTS. >> WE ALSO PROVIDED THAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS TO START PILOTING AND WORKING ON WITH STUDENTS. SO I'M ON THE TOPIC OF HOW OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING. >> I WANT TO CELEBRATE TWO PERSONAL STORIES OF STUDENTS. THESE STUDENTS COME FROM O'CONNELL HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE ROOM AS IS OUR FAMILIES TO HAVE THEM REPRESENTED. >> SO THE FIRST STUDENT IS JAVONTE AND JAVONTE CAME TO US AS AN EIGHTH GRADER WITH A GPA OF 1.6 AND AN 82% ATTENDANCE AND THAT WAS WHAT JAVONTE HIS EXPERIENCE WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT HIGH SCHOOL IS TIME FOR A FRESH START. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED WITH JAVONTE AND LOUISE CAME TO US WITH AN 86% ATTENDANCE COMING FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NOW JAVONTE HAS A 2.3 GPA WHICH ALLOWS JAVONTE TO
EXIT THAT E.W. I MARKER AND A 96% ATTENDANCE RATE AND GOING TO ALLAWI IS INCREDIBLE NOW AT A 99% ATTENDANCE RATE. AND SO THIS IS REALLY SHOWING AN EXAMPLE OF HOW HIGH SCHOOL YOU KNOW EVEN THOUGH IT'S A HARD TRANSITION WE KNOW THAT IF WE ALL PROVIDE THE SUPPORT THAT'S NECESSARY, IT IS A FRESH START AND SO WE WANT TO REALLY LIFT THESE STUDENTS UP. AND SO WE'VE REALLY BEEN TRYING TO REALLY SHARE THESE STUDENT STORIES ACROSS PEER GROUPS ALSO AT SCHOOL AND WHEN THESE STUDENTS WERE INTERVIEWED THEY TALKED ABOUT A MYRIAD OF THINGS. IT'S NOT JUST A ONE THING THAT THIS IS WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SUPPORT OF GOING TO WELLNESS AND THE STRUCTURE THAT EXISTS IN THE SCHOOL FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO ACCESS THAT SUPPORT ON A REGULAR BASIS. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE MINDSET OF TEACHERS TO AFFIRM THEIR IDENTITY AND HOW THEY COULD SPEAK BOTH OF THEM VERY SPECIFICALLY TO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM
EXPERIENCE. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ADMINISTRATORS WHO WERE CONSTANTLY YOU KNOW, NOTING WHEN THEY WERE ATTENDING SCHOOL AND WHEN THEY WERE NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL. WE ADDRESS THIS GENERALIZED SUPPORT. SO THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN WE HAVE A FOCAL GROUP OF STUDENTS AND WE CAN, YOU KNOW, KIND OF BE THESE CHEERLEADERS IN PARTNERSHIP AND WHAT RESULTS WE CAN HAVE. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS GROWTH AND FOR THESE STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FROM ONE OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS FROM O'CONNELL WAS ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT THESE PRACTICES IN GREATER DEPTH THROUGH ONE OF OUR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING MEETINGS AND SHARED ALL OF THIS LEARNING FOR HER COLLEAGUES AND HAVE THEM REALLY INTERROGATE WHAT PRACTICES MIGHT BE REPLICABLE AT THEIR SCHOOL. NEXT SLIDE THIS THANKS. SO CONTINUING ON WITH THE IDEA OF EARLY ENGAGEMENT, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO ENGAGE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS EARLIER IN THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER KNOWING THAT
THE GOAL THREE IS SPANS FROM NINTH GRADE ALL THE WAY TO THEIR SENIOR YEAR. SO WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING ABOUT PARENT AND PARENT AND NINTH GRADERS. WE HAD A FAMILY NIGHT IN DECEMBER. WE HAD ABOUT 350 FAMILIES PARTICIPATE AND THE IDEA WAS THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY AND ALSO GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS RIGHT AWAY DURING THEIR FIRST SEMESTER OF THEIR NINTH GRADE YEAR WE GOT A LOT OF VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE PARENTS AND FAMILIES AND AND THE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT EVENT. AND SO OUR PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON THAT IDEA AND GROW IT AND CONTINUE IT IN THE FUTURE. >> ALSO OUR COUNSELORS DO A LOT OF WANT BOTH SMALL GROUP AND ALSO INDIVIDUAL WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS IN THE NINTH AND THE 10TH GRADE YEAR THEY'LL THEY'LL GO INTO ADVISORY ADVISORIES TO GO INTO HOME ROOMS AND DO LESSONS ON A TWO G WORK WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY AND THEN ALSO HAVING THOSE INDIVIDUAL OFF TRACK MEETINGS IF A STUDENT IS ALREADY OFF
TRACK IN THEIR NINTH OR 10TH GRADE YEAR THEY GET THAT ONE ON ONE TIME WITH THEIR COUNSELOR IN ORDER TO HAVE MAKE A PLAN TO GET BACK ON TRACK. AND THEN WE BUILT LIKE I SAID MENTIONED EARLIER WE REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT EARLY INVESTMENT WILL PAY OFF IN THE LONG TERM BECAUSE WE NEED OUR NINTH AND 10TH GRADERS TO BE ON TRACK AND TO BE EARNING THOSE CS OR HIGHER SO THEY CAN BE EIGHT AS YOU'RE READY IN THEIR DURING THEIR JUNIOR AND THEIR SENIOR YEAR. SO OUR PLAN IS EARLY INVESTMENT FOR A LONGER TERM PAYOFF. NEXT SLIDE. THANK YOU. THE THIRD CATEGORY OF HIGH LEVEL STRATEGY THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATES VERY RELYING ON IS DEEP UTILIZATION OF DIVERSE TYPES AND FORMS OF DATA UH, THE EWG UH THE STORY THAT WE SHARED ON THE BACK AND IT RELIED HEAVILY ON INCREASED FREQUENT MONITORING OF STUDENTS PROGRESS. UM SO IN COLLABORATION WITH RPA THE FREQUENCY OF REPORTING HAS INCREASED AND HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IS REGULARLY ENGAGING UM UH TO
MATCH WITH THE SIX WEEK PERIOD REPORTING TO TO ANALYZE THE DATA AND SHARE BEST PRACTICES WITH WITH ONE ANOTHER TO SUPPORT STUDENTS. AND THE SECOND ASPECT IS THE OFF TRACK CONFERENCES WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR A WHILE AND I BELIEVE ONE OF YOU ACTUALLY ONE OF THE COMMISSIONER SUGGESTED YOU KNOW, CAN WE LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF HAVING THOSE CONFERENCES ON EVENTUAL GRADUATION? UH, IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ON OUR PLATE TO DO AND AS IT WAS NOTED IN THE IN THE REPORT, UNFORTUNATELY OR FORTUNATELY WE ARE BUILDING THE MUSCLES TO IMPROVE OUR DATA COLLECTION AND ENTRY PRACTICES BECAUSE AT MANY HIGH SCHOOLS EVEN THOUGH THE CONFERENCES THEMSELVES ARE TAKING PLACE WE DO NOT YET HAVE GOOD COLLECTION AND ENTRY OF THE DATA BY WHICH WOULD BE NECESSARY AND ESSENTIAL FOR US TO ACTUALLY STUDY THE IMPACT OF THOSE CONFERENCES ON EVENTUAL GRADUATION. SO WHAT WORKING SPECIFICALLY WHAT IDENTIFIED SITES TO PROVIDE THEM SUPPORT TO TO BUILD THOSE MUSCLES WHICH IS NOT LIMITED JUST TO OFF TRACK CONFERENCES BUT THAT'S YOU KNOW
THAT THOSE MUSCLES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IN TERMS OF COLLECTING IMPLEMENTATION DATA. THE THIRD BULLET POINT ABOUT START ASSESSMENT UM SO AGAIN THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR FOR HIGH SCHOOLS. UH OUR TEAM IS WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS TO UH TO BUILD THEIR MUSCLES AND IN LOOKING AT OUR REPORTS AND TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST INSTRUCTION ACCORDINGLY TO UH TO CATER TO STUDENTS NEEDS AS AS REPRESENTING THE DATA MEDIA PARTNERSHIP WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE NEXT SLIDE HAS BEEN ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEEP DATA DIVE IN COLLABORATION. SO IT UH IT'S AN APP COMPANY THEY THEY'VE BEEN VERY VERY COLLABORATIVE AND PROVIDING LOTS OF DIFFERENT DATA IN ORDER FOR US TO MAKE SENSE OF THE USAGE PATTERNS AND TO SUPPORT TEACHERS BASED ON THEIR DATA AND PROBABLY SUPPORTING REALLY DEEPLY AT THE SITE LEVEL AND HAVING OFFICE HOURS MAKING THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES AVAILABLE FOR TEACHERS TO REALLY DIG INTO AND THEN UTILIZE THE TOOLS AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS DEEPLY
USING THE TOOL A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA UH ROUND OUT THE LIST. SO AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WALKTHROUGHS HAVE BEEN REALLY CRUCIAL AND WALKTHROUGHS AND NOT NECESSARILY QUANTITATIVE DATA, RIGHT? SO THESE ARE ADMINISTRATORS WALKING TOGETHER THROUGH UM VARIOUS CLASSROOMS AND SITES OBSERVING CLASSROOMS AND FOCUSING ON MATH CLASSROOMS AND INSTRUCTION AND PROVIDING REAL TIME FEEDBACK TO TEACHERS . AND THE VERY LAST ITEM ON THE LIST IS WHAT'S WE CALL A SYLLABI STUDY WHICH IS A SYSTEMATIC COLLECTION OF SYLLABI FROM VARIOUS COURSES TO EXAMINE THE STRUCTURE AND EXPECTATIONS AND MINDSET THAT ARE EMBODIED IN IT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE EQUITABLE UH TO TO BE ABLE TO BETTER SUPPORT STUDENTS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT FROM THE GET GO UH THAT THE COURSES ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH WAYS THAT ARE FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO STUDENTS UM SUCCESS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE LET ME TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT EDA WHICH HAS BEEN AN EXAMPLE OF VERY STRONG COLLABORATION INTERNALLY
BETWEEN LEED AND CNI UM AND EXTERNALLY WITH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS AND INVOLVING EDA THE DEVELOPER THAT THE APP DEVELOPER GATES FOUNDATION WHICH PROVIDED UH THE FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR AND WAS VERY WHICH IS GOING TO WHICH IS THE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT WILL BE CONDUCTING THE OVERALL IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT STUDY AT THE END OF THE YEAR. EDA IS AN AIR BASED MATH TUTOR THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO NINTH AND 10TH GRADERS STUDENTS AND STUDENTS HAVE BEEN BIG FANS. >> SO WE CAN ACTUALLY READ THROUGH THE VARIOUS COMMENTS UH, TOP ROW SECOND ONE FROM THE LEFT GOES INTO DEEP I LIKE THE INTERFACE AND ONE ON ONE AIR ASSISTANT THEY DIDN'T GIVE AWAY ANY OF THE ANSWERS. PLEASE KEEP USING IT IS GREAT. BOTTOM ROW SECOND ONE FROM THE RIGHT REALLY FUN ACTUAL HELPFUL FOR HINTS BUT NOT ANSWERS. EASIER TOOLS AND UI THEN KHAN ACADEMY RIGHT. UM FUN ONE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT RIGHT THIS WEBSITE IS PRETTY COOL NGL I'M NOT YOUNG ENOUGH TO KNOW THE ACRONYM I ACTUALLY
GAVE YOU COMMISSION AND FISHER HAD IT ALL PLANNED AND LINED UP TO ACTUALLY PROMPT YOU EXCLUDING THE STUDENT DELEGATE TO SEE WHO WOULD KNOW THE ACRONYM YOU'RE NOT THOSE WHO DON'T ALWAYS GET THE YOUNGER KIDS BUT THEN I WOULD SAY THAT THE USE OF YOU KNOW THAT UH COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE I THINK IS A GENUINE APPRECIATION EXPRESSION OF THE APP AS I'M INTERPRETING IT. >> SO YOU KNOW IN ADDITION TO THE POSITIVE RECEPTION THAT STUDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED WHICH SEEN SOME POSITIVE IMPACT ON STUDENT OUTCOMES AS WELL STUDENTS TO USE MORE MEDIA GREW MORE ON STAR MATH FROM FALL TO WINTER THAN SIMILAR STUDENTS THAT DID NOT USE CDO WHICH IS A PROMISING SIGN. AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED THAT WE'LL BE DOING A MORE EXTENSIVE AND RIGOROUS ANALYSIS AT THE END OF THE YEAR USING ALL THE YEAR'S DATA. AND ONE REALLY POSITIVE THING IS THAT IT APPEARS TO BE THAT THERE UM AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS WHO USE MEDIA UH THERE
SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A LARGER GAIN AMONG THAT POPULATION OF STUDENTS ON STAR MATH THAN THAN SOME OF THE OTHER GROUPS SUCH AS UH I ACTUALLY HAD NOT CHECKED UNTIL DEVIN KIND OF ASKED ME TO LOOK INTO IT SO AND I DID NOT GO OH THIS IS AMAZING. UM, SO MORE TO COME AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING FURTHER RESULTS ON THIS REALLY HELPFUL AND USEFUL APP SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. AND I'LL TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES TO DISCUSS THE PLANS FOR MOVING FORWARD. ALL RIGHT. SO MOVING FORWARD WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON THE SUCCESSES WE HAVE HAD WITH EXITING STUDENTS BY CONTINUING TO REFLECT ON OUR LEARNINGS AND ALSO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR UM OUR SITE LEADERS TO COLLABORATE TOGETHER IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. WE ALSO WANT TO BUILD UPON AND STRENGTHEN THE CONNECTIONS WE HAVE WITH OUR FAMILIES IN OUR IN OUR PARTNERS AND ALSO IN IN OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER
READINESS AND GRADUATION. WE HAD SOME LEARNINGS AROUND AROUND THIS AS WELL BECAUSE THE GOAL THREE FOCUSES ON BEING PREPARED BEING AG READY. BUT GRADUATION IS NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME THING. AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE MAKE IT CLEAR AND SO WE'VE BEEN MAKING CLEAR CLARIFYING FOR OUR FAMILIES AND OUR STUDENTS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRADUATION AND ALSO BEING USED OR CSU ELIGIBLE. AND SO IN OUR LATEST FAMILY COMMUNICATIONS AROUND THIS WE'VE UPDATED THE LANGUAGE SO THAT IT IS MUCH MORE CLEAR AND IT'S WE'RE GIVING THEM MORE AGENCY OVER UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCES SO THEY CAN SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE OUR CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS THAT NEED IT AND ALSO BUILDING UPON IN WE'VE MENTIONED COUNSELORS A LOT IN THIS PRESENTATION SO JUST REMINDING THAT OUR COUNSELORS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ENGAGING WITH OUR STUDENTS IN SO MANY WAYS TO HELP THEM ALSO STAY ON TRACK ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY YEARS AND THEIR NINTH AND THEIR 10TH GRADE YEAR. NEXT SLIDE. AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO EVALUATE OUR IMPACT IN SOME OF
THE WAYS THAT YOU'VE HEARD ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING. WE ARE ALSO FOCUSED ON OUR MATH IMPROVEMENT AND I'LL ALSO LET DEVIN JUMP IN THERE IF THERE'S QUESTIONS BUT EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME. WE'RE CURRENTLY IN OUR AUDIT WITH T.A.R.P. LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT MATH INSTRUCTION AND SEEING WHAT WE CAN DO MOVING FORWARD WITH A POTENTIAL CURRICULUM IN THE FUTURE ONCE WE DO ALL OF THIS WORK THAT WE'RE ENGAGED IN RIGHT NOW SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME IN THE FUTURE. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT WHAT'S IN PLACE, WHAT'S NEEDED, WHY ARE WE GETTING THE RESULTS THAT WE HAVE, WHERE ARE THERE GAPS AND REALLY DIGGING INTO THAT? AND OVERALL, I MEAN THIS IS A JOURNEY FOR US. THIS IS ABOUT LEARNING. SO WE ARE SHOWING, YOU KNOW, SOME LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT BUT WE ARE LEARNING ORGANIZATION AND WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET BETTER. WE ARE WORKING ALSO WITH UC BERKELEY WITH A PROFESSOR
AND PARTICULARLY IN PARTICULAR THAT IS STUDYING OUR PRACTICES AROUND EARLY WARNING INDICATORS AND BRINGING HIM ACTUALLY RIGHT TO OUR SITE LEADERS TO ALSO ENGAGE THEIR QUESTIONS. WE KNOW THAT THIS WORK IS NOT UNIQUE TO SFI USD SO THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT PRACTICES OUT THERE. THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER STUDENTS THAT ARE HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES IN SCHOOL. SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LEARNING FROM ALL OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE TO KIND OF MOVE ON THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER TOWARDS THE OUTCOMES THAT WE WANT TO SEE FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. WE TAKE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. OPEN UP FOR COMMENTS QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS. OKAY. OH RIGHT. NOT COMMENTS. STRATEGIC QUESTIONS. WELL I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT THOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO MR. KIM FOR STEALING YOUR THUNDER ME TO A SECOND TIME SO FAR, MR. WISEMAN. MORNING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE DETAILED
INFORMATION I HAVE. UM, TWO QUESTIONS. ONE IS ABOUT INTERIM GOAL 3.2 AND THE OTHER IS ABOUT THAT AREA. UM, SO FOR 3.2 YEAH THAT WE HAVE ALREADY EXCEEDED THE TARGET OF 70% AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A DEBBIE DOWNER HERE. I HAVE A QUESTION. UM, DOES THIS SUGGEST LIKE DO YOU ALL HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WHETHER THIS SUGGESTS THAT OUR TARGET WAS TOO CONSERVATIVE OR I KNOW THAT THERE WAS EXCUSE ME A SUGGESTION THAT SOMETIMES WE SEE A BACKSLIDE BETWEEN FALL IN WINTER. DO WE EXPECT TO SEE A BACKSLIDE BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND JUNE THAT THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THIS LIKE IS THIS A PEAK THAT WE HOPE STAYS UP OR ARE WE EXPECTING IT TO GO BACK DOWN? THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION. >> SO THE ANSWER THE FIRST PART OF YOUR QUESTION AROUND THE THE 70% IF YOU LOOK FROM YOU KNOW, 2022 ON WE WERE STAYING PRETTY FLAT 66, 65, 66, YOU KNOW, SO
WE DIDN'T THINK 7070 WAS TOO HIGH OF A YOU KNOW, A MARKER AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT WE ARE ABOVE 70 AT THIS POINT. BUT YES, WE DO ANTICIPATE MAYBE A SLIGHT DIP DURING THE SPRING SEMESTER BECAUSE THERE'S CLASSES STUDENTS HAVEN'T FINISHED YET THIS PARTICULAR SEMESTER THAT WE DON'T ACCOUNT FOR THE THE THING ABOUT THOUGH IS WE HAVE SOME OUR SUMMER PROGRAM THAT MANY OF THOSE STUDENTS WILL THEN BE ENROLLED IN THAT WORK COULD HELP KEEP THAT NUMBER UP. OKAY. SO IF THEY HAVE I GUESS MAYBE MAYBE AND I APOLOGIZE IF I'M BEING A DUNCE ABOUT THIS NOT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY TAKEN THE CLASS WOULDN'T WE EXPECT THEM THE NUMBERS TO BE LOWER AND CONTINUE TO GO UP? AM I MISSING DID I MISUNDERSTAND THAT? SO THEY THEY TAKE A CLASS EACH SEMESTER SO THERE THAT'S A FULL YEAR CLASS BUT THEY'RE GRADED BY SEMESTER. SO THESE ARE SOPHOMORES THAT HAVE TAKEN A FULL YEAR OF THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR AND THEN ONE SEMESTER OF THEIR SOPHOMORE YEAR THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK HALF OF THEIR SOPHOMORE YEAR RIGHT NOW. SO WE DON'T AND SOME OF THOSE
STUDENTS MIGHT NOT PASS THAT CLASS BUT ALL THE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN IT AND PASS ARE ON TRACK AND WILL STAY ON TRACK. BUT THERE MIGHT BE A FEW THAT MIGHT NOT PASS THEIR SPRING SEMESTER AND THEN THAT MEANS THEY WOULD BE NOT ON TRACK. THE CHALLENGE ISN'T ENROLLMENT. WE'RE PATRICK SAYING THE CHALLENGE IN THE NUMBERS IS AROUND THE PASS RATE. IT'S NOT THAT THOSE STUDENTS AREN'T ENROLLED APPROPRIATELY INTO THE COURSES UM MY OTHER QUESTION UM HAD TO DO ME FIND IT UM IT WAS IDEA RIGHT YEAH AND IT HAD TO DO WITH THE UM WHAT LIKE 4,444% OF STUDENTS LOGGING ON MEANS THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS NEVER LOGGED ON AND UM, WHAT I'M WONDERING AS A HUGE PERCENTAGE IT DIDN'T WHAT UM WHAT THOUGHTS ARE ON ON BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM NGL THAT UM THAT WHEN STUDENTS ARE LOGGING ON IT'S INEFFECTIVE AND SO WONDERING ABOUT SORT OF HOW TO WHY DO WE KNOW WHY THERE WAS SUCH A RELATIVELY SMALL PORTION LOGGING ON AND SUCH A
BIG PORTION NOT AND WHAT PLANS ARE TO TRY TO GET THOSE NUMBERS UP. YEAH SO I CAN START AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO CHIME IN. SO THIS WAS JUST A PILOT PROGRAM AND SO THIS WAS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL FOR TEACHERS TO TAKE THIS UP AND SO PART OF THAT STUDENT PARTICIPATE AND IT ALSO MATCHES KIND OF THE TEACHER MINDSET OF WHAT THEY FELT AT THIS AT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE EXPOSED TO IT. DID THEY HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION AT THAT TIME TO FEEL LIKE THIS WAS REALLY WHAT WAS BEST FOR THEIR CLASS BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING NEW AND SO THIS WAS NOT LIKE A CURRICULUM THAT WAS A MANDATED CURRICULUM FOR EVERYONE WHERE WE HAVE THIS YOU KNOW, OH WHY DO WE HAVE THIS PARTICIPATION RATE AND WE WERE NOT IN A POSITION YOU KNOW, WE REALLY WANTED TO BE VERY OPEN MINDED ABOUT IT AND SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP MY TEAM DIDN'T HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ED IN AUGUST AND SO TO MAKE ALL THESE PROMISES YOU KNOW, DO THIS, DO THIS ALL WE COULD SAY WAS WE HEAR HOW THIS IS GOING IN OTHER DISTRICTS. THIS IS WHAT WE CAN OFFER. TRY IT OUT IF THIS IS A MATCH FOR YOU. AND SO IT REALLY DEPENDED A LOT ON KIND OF THE TEACHER MINDSET
AND WHERE THEY WERE AT BUT IT WAS VERY OPTIONAL. SO THAT PARTICIPATION RATE MATCHES A LOT. AND THEN ALSO WITH STUDENTS STUDENTS HAVE DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES AS WELL AND SO FOR SOME STUDENTS I THINK THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN PRIOR CONVERSATIONS THEY MAY HAVE LIKE AN AVERSION TO FOCUSING ON YOU KNOW, AN APP OR THEY MAY LOVE THAT. AND SO WE ALSO WANT TO BE STUDYING, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE KIND OF PROFILE OF STUDENTS THAT REALLY ENJOY THIS AND DO THAT. AND SO TO ADDRESS THAT TEACHER VARIANCE WE'VE HAD IIDA GO ACTUALLY ON SITE AND DIG IN WITH TEACHERS TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK AND WHAT COULD WE DO AND THEY'VE CONSTANTLY LIKE REVAMPED THEIR PROGRAM BASED ON TEACHER FEEDBACK AND THEN WE'VE HAD THE TEACHERS THEMSELVES PRESENT TO OTHER TEACHERS. WE'VE LOOKED AT WHERE IS THE HIGHEST PARTICIPATION RATE FOR A TEACHER AND SO THEN THOSE TEACHERS HAVE GONE TO THOSE DEPARTMENT MEETINGS ACROSS THE DIVISION AND SAID LIKE THIS IS WHY IT'S REALLY WORKING FOR ME AND THIS IS WHAT I'M FINDING AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE
ARE BUT IT IS WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT FOR A NEW INITIATIVE THAT WAS A PILOT. CINDY GOODMAN HI. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. ALWAYS REALLY INSIGHTFUL TO LEARN ABOUT ALL OF THIS. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. MY FIRST ONE IS UM I READ IN THE REPORT SOMETHING ABOUT UH BECAUSE THE INDICATORS BASED ON THE ENTIRETY OF THE STUDENT'S HIGH SCHOOL CAREER IT'S NOT HIGHLY RESPONSIVE TO CONCERTED EFFORTS IN THE SHORT RUN. AND I WAS WONDERING I SEE THINGS ABOUT UM, 10TH GRADERS BEING ON TRACK WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT AND ALSO NINTH GRADERS GETTING COLLEGE PRESENTATIONS AND I'M WONDERING WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WHO ARE IN EARLY 11TH GRADE OR EVEN LATE JUNIOR YEAR OR EARLY SENIOR YEAR BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IN MY EXPERIENCE AT LEAST IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT STUDENTS TEND TO LOG IN BY THE WAY, THAT'S ALSO A BIG TURN. >> THE LOG IN YEAH WE TEND TO LIKE LOG IN AND LIKE JUNIOR OR SENIOR YEAR FOR LIKE COLLEGE
APPLICATIONS AND SUCH. >> SO I'M WONDERING IS THERE A PROCESS OR SOMETHING THAT MAKES SURE THAT THOSE STUDENTS ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES AND IT'S NOT LIKE TOO LATE FOR THEM TO ASK FOR HELP? YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUESTION. SO WE DO THE ON TRACK OFF TRACK CONFERENCES IN 11TH GRADE AS WELL. IT'S JUST THAT THESE PARTICULAR KIND OF DATA POINTS WERE CHOSEN SO THAT IT MAPS OUT LIKE THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. SO WE HAVE IF YOU NOTICE LIKE THE OVERALL GOAL THAT WE STARTED WITH WHICH WAS WHAT GOES ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING OF A STUDENT'S EXPERIENCE THAT REPRESENTS THE STUDENTS THAT YOU KNOW HAVE COMPLETED THEIR FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL. SO THEN FOR 3.1 WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN LIKE THAT'S FOCUSING IN ON NINTH GRADERS 3.2 IS FOCUSING IN ON 10TH GRADERS AND 3.3 IS REALLY FOCUSED ON MATH IN GENERAL BUT MORE OF THAT NINTH AND 10TH GRADE YEAR OF THOSE PROGRESS MARKERS.
BUT THE CONFERENCES ACTUALLY DO HAPPEN IN 11TH GRADE AS WELL AND THERE'S OTHER MAIN PROGRAMING IT DEPENDS ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE THE SCHOOL THAT YOU'RE AT OR FOR YOUR FRIENDS LIKE WE COULD DO EVEN MORE SO YOU KNOW LOVE TO HEAR MORE IDEAS AROUND THAT BUT THERE ARE MARKERS ALONG THE WAY. IT'S JUST THAT FOR THE PROGRESS MONITORING THAT WE'RE REPORTING ON, IT WAS FOCUSED ON THOSE GRADES AND I WOULD JUST ADD THE OVERALL GOAL 3.0 FOCUSES A LOT ON 11TH AND 12TH GRADE YEAR BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN STUDENTS CAN TAKE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES AND THEY CAN START IN B AND C PATHWAYS TAKING AP CLASSES. THAT'S WHEN THE A-SPEC TEST IS GIVEN AS WELL. SO THERE'S A LOT IN THE 11TH AND 12TH GRADE THAT GOES INTO GOAL OVERALL GOAL THREE. THANK YOU. I GOT A LITTLE I'M A SENIOR SO I'M VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE ACCESS TO A LOT OF RESOURCES. OUR COLLEGE CENTER IS AMAZING COLLEGE PREP COMING IN THE FALL. I TALKED TO THE COLLEGE CENTER VOLUNTEERS ALL THE TIME
AND YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT LIKE OTHER SCHOOLS ALSO HAD THE SAME ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THAT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE AT LAW. SO YEAH, THANK YOU. MY SECOND QUESTION IS ABOUT IDEA LIKE WHAT HAS BEEN THE PROCESS OF KIND OF ROLLING IT OUT? UM YOU MENTIONED THAT LIKE TEACH IT WASN'T MANDATORY FOR THE TEACHERS TO USE BUT WERE THERE LIKE SPECIFIC SCHOOL SIDES OR LIKE TEACHERS THAT WERE LIKE UM KIND OF RECEIVED THIS AND LIKE WITH TO USE THIS OR LIKE WHAT WAS REALLY THE PROCESS OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. ANGLE YEAH, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM EITHER. YES. >> SO THIS WAS TARGETED TO NINTH AND 10TH GRADE AGAIN TO TRY TO BE TO HAVE THAT PROACTIVE RESPONSE. SO TRYING TO GET GET STUDENTS RIGHT AWAY TO REALLY GET THEIR MATH PROFICIENCY UP AND SO THE PROCESS WAS THAT OVER THE SUMMER TEACHERS COME BACK BEFORE STUDENTS COME BACK AND SO THEY HAVE A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY. WE CALL IT A BUYBACK DAY AND SO
THE CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT LEAD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EDA PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL OF THOSE NINTH AND 10TH GRADE TEACHERS SO THAT THEY COULD DECIDE AFTER THEY WENT THROUGH KIND OF EXPOSURE LIKE THE EXPOSURE PART WAS MANDATORY AS PART OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. BUT THEN AFTER THEY WENT THROUGH THAT KIND OF WHAT THEIR COMFORT LEVEL WAS, IF AT THAT POINT BECAUSE SCHOOL WAS STARTING RIGHT AWAY COULD THEY INTEGRATE THIS INTO THEIR CLASS? >> AND SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE THE OPTIONAL PART AND THEN WE AND THEN SO IT WASN'T LIKE PARTICULAR SCHOOLS WERE TARGETED AND THEN WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT YOU KNOW, REALLY DIVE INTO THIS BOTH AT OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS, AT OUR LARGER COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS AT OUR ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL. SO IT'S PRETTY MIXED. IT REALLY WAS MORE ABOUT WHETHER THE TEACHER FELT THAT WHEN THEY WERE EXPOSED TO IT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY FELT PREPARED OR READY OR WOULD WOULD BE MEANINGFUL FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO DO. AND I DON'T WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
YEP. SO I CAN ADD JUST ONE PIECE OF BROADER CONTEXT WHICH I THINK WAS ALREADY SPOKEN TO BUT JUST TO NAME THIS IN PARTICULAR IS A SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE THAT'S MEANT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT WHILE WE ENGAGE IN A MULTI-YEAR CURRICULUM ADOPTION PROCESS. SO I WANTED TO JUST SORT OF LIKE NAME THAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ITS ROLE AS AN OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL TOOL AS OPPOSED TO CORE CURRICULUM. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'LL ALSO JUST SAY IS I THINK THIS IS LIKE ONE OF THE STRONGEST EXAMPLES OF REALLY STRONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LEAD IN CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION IN TERMS OF LIKE THE ENTRY AND THE ROLL OUT. SO AT THE VERY BEGINNING WE WERE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE PARTNERSHIP ENGAGE EDA THROUGH FUNDING VIA GATES AND WEST TO START THIS LAUNCH PTA THAT DEVINA JUST DESCRIBED AND DIVINA STEPPED IN WITH JUST INCREDIBLY STRONG PARTNERSHIP AND TAKE IN THAT INITIAL INTRODUCTION WHICH WAS THEN KIND OF LIKE CARRIED OUT THROUGH CNI IS MATH HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT CHAIR MEETINGS AND OTHER INITIATIVES TO
PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING WHILE THEY WORKED VERY EXTENSIVELY WITH EDA WITH PRINCIPALS TO BUILD ON SOME OF THE INITIAL MOMENTUM TO GAIN MORE USERS AND MORE USAGE WITH STUDENTS OVER TIME PARTICULAR REALLY IN SOME TARGETED SCHOOLS AND GRADE LEVELS AND WITH DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS. THANK YOU. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT RESOURCE. I MIGHT HAVE TO GET ON THAT TONIGHT FOR MY HOMEWORK. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM, I WOULD LOVE TO PICK UP ON THAT QUESTION OR KIND OF CONVERSATION REALLY QUICKLY SO I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION AROUND TUTORING AND IS THE IDEA IDEA IDEA AS A TOOL. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT LIKE DWI IS SOMETHING THAT'S TRACKED BY THE STATE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN VERY TOP OF MIND. THIS IS NOT A QUESTION AROUND NECESSARILY CHANGING INTERIM GUARDRAILS OR INTERIM GOALS IS I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE SPACE FOR THAT. UM I GUESS MY MY MY HIGHEST
LEVEL MORE STRATEGIC QUESTIONS ARE ARE THESE THE HIGHEST LEVERAGE STRATEGIES THAT WE FEEL ARE GOING TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL MY QUESTION THERE IS COMING FROM A IS A WONDERING AROUND YOU KNOW WE HAVE THESE CLEAR IN-CLASSROOM STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR K-8 AND I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL JUST AREN'T THAT. AND I DO APPRECIATE THE MATH CURRICULUM SEARCH. I THINK THAT'S EXCITING. I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING IT. WE ALSO HAVE MANY SUBJECTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT FOR. UH, CAN YOU HELP ME JUST UNDERSTAND LIKE WHY WHY THIS THESE STRATEGIES AS BEING I MEAN I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THESE ARE THE HIGHEST LEVERAGE ONES THAT WE BELIEVE IF THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE TRACKING AND TALKING ABOUT. MM HMM. UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. PRESIDENT KIM SO I DO JUST WANT TO START WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A BROADER STATE OF THE STATE WHICH IS TO NAME REALLY
EXPLICITLY YOU KNOW IN THE LAST I WOULD SAY THREE YEARS IN PARTICULAR AND I'LL SPEAK SPECIFICALLY FOR C AND I IN THIS INSTANCE UM CNI HAS DISPROPORTIONATELY ALLOCATED OUR RESOURCES TOWARDS K EIGHT BY NECESSITY AND THAT HAS BEEN BECAUSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS WE WERE IN WHAT I WOULD CALL ACROSS K12 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. WE HAD GONE 10 TO 15 YEARS WITHOUT ADOPTED HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS WITHOUT REALLY CLEAR THINGS LIKE LEARNING WALK INDICATORS, SOME OF THE PRACTICES THAT YOU'RE NAMING AND WE JUST TO BE COMPLETELY DIRECT ABOUT IT DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO EQUALLY ADDRESS K-12 ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS STAGGERED APPROACH. SO WHERE YOU SEE SOME OF THAT DISPROPORTIONALITY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH THE K EIGHT MULTIYEAR ADOPTION PROCESS WITH SOME OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL COACH WORK AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HAS MEANT A DECREASED FOCUS ON HIGH SCHOOL. AND SO I JUST WANT TO NAME THAT REALLY EXPLICITLY AND NOT AT
THE BEHEST OF LEAD OR ANYONE ELSE BUT JUST TO SAY WHERE WE'VE DEVOTED OUR TIME AND RESOURCES. I THINK WHAT I AM INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT IS WE ARE ABLE TO BE IN A POSITION WITH THE LAUNCH OF THIS MATH PROCESS THEN INTO ELA, INTO HISTORY SOCIAL STUDIES AND UNDER THE CONTENT AREAS TO REDISTRIBUTE THAT ATTENTION AND FOCUS TO MORE APPROPRIATE WE ADDRESS HIGH QUALITY CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION IN HIGH SCHOOL . AND SO IN TERMS OF STRATEGY OBVIOUSLY ONE COMPONENT OF THAT IS A MULTI-YEAR ADOPTION PROCESS TO BEGIN WITH MATH IN THAT CASE THE FIRST STEP WHICH DEVINA SPOKE TO IS THE INSTRUCTIONAL AUDIT. THAT INSTRUCTIONAL AUDIT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND INCLUDES SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID IN K-8 CLASSROOM OBSERVATION SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUP STUDENT WORK ANALYSIS TO HELP US IDENTIFY THE HIGHEST NEED AREAS OF INSTRUCTIONAL QUALITY IN HIGH SCHOOL MATH WHICH TELLS US HOW WE NEED TO DESIGN OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH CURRICULUM EVALUATION, PILOTING AND ADOPTION.
SO I WOULD SAY IN TERMS OF STRATEGY SELECTION WE ARE VERY MUCH AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE REDISTRIBUTING OUR ATTENTION TOWARDS HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT FOCUS AND CERTAINLY IDEA AS AN INTERIM IS SORT OF AN INTERIM SUPPLEMENT TO HELP PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT WHILE WE GET THOSE AUDIT RESULTS AND CAN REDESIGN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING STAFFING AND RESOURCES. BUT I JUST WANT TO NAME THAT WITHIN THE STATE OF THE STATE AS TO WHY THAT HAS LOOKED DIFFERENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO BETWEEN 8 AND 9 12 AND I WOULD ADD THAT BEYOND NOT RESOURCING SORT OF LIKE ADDITIONALLY HIGH SCHOOL AROUND CURRICULUM WE HAVE ALSO DECREASED MANY RESOURCES IN THE HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION. WE'VE CUT INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES. THERE USED TO BE INSTRUCTIONAL REFORM FACILITATORS THAT WERE AT TARGETED SCHOOLS THAT WERE DOING DATA CYCLES THAT WERE DOING A LOT OF INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING AND SO THAT WAS WIPED OUT. WE HAVE DECREASED A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE A PART OF GOAL
THREE AND ARE REALLY CONTINUING IN THAT TRAJECTORY FOR NEXT YEAR. SO THAT IS YOU KNOW A RESOURCE ISSUE IS IS A BIG PIECE OF IT AND THE RESOURCES THAT WE PUT INTO INSTRUCTION HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENT FOR A LONG TIME. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT I WONDER ABOUT IN TERMS OF NON-MONETARY THINGS AND THEN THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT I DO WORRY ABOUT IN TERMS OF MONITORING THINGS LIKE INSTRUCTIONAL WALKS, RIGHT? LIKE I PRESUME THEY STILL TAKE PLACE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL . I ASSUME THAT WE ARE DOING THEM BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT THEY HELP PRODUCE MEANINGFUL SHIFTS IN TEACHER PRACTICE. I MEAN I GUESS THIS IS WHERE I'M STILL WONDERING LIKE IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE INVESTING OUR TIME AND RESOURCES IN PEOPLE THAT ARE PRIMARILY LIKE WHY IS THAT NOT SOMETHING THAT'S CAPTURED HERE AND THAT WE DISCUSS AND IF WE I MEAN JUST AGAIN I DON'T MEAN TO TOTALLY FLUFF THE REPORT. I APPRECIATE ALL THE STUFF THAT'S GOING INTO THIS RIGHT NOW. SO LIKE THAT'S FROM LIKE A NON-MONETARY KIND OF WONDERING THAT I HAVE AND AND FROM A FROM
A HUMAN CAPITAL PEOPLE PERSONNEL COST INVESTMENTS QUESTION I GUESS I'M I DON'T KNOW AS WE AS WE KIND OF ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS AROUND OUR BUDGET I'M STILL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PLAN IN WHICH WE ACTUALLY INVEST IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WORTH WHILE TO ASK FOR BUT IT YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S PARTLY MY MY WONDERING AND AGAIN NOT TO SUGGEST THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD TRACK AND NOT SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT BUT BUT I THINK IF WE CAN SO MEANINGFULLY AND CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT COACHES AT THE KEY LEVEL ARE SO IMPACTFUL AND IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY TO THE WORK OF THE OF OUR SCHOOLS AND KEY AIDES, I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S NOT TRANSLATING OR WHY THOSE DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND WHY WE'RE NOT INVESTING OUR RESOURCES AND PEOPLE IN THAT TIME. I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED VERY DEEPLY AND AUTHENTICALLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION OVER MANY YEARS
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, INVITE ANY OF YOU TO JOIN ME ON THEM. WE HAVE OUR NEXT ROUND THIS THURSDAY AND SO WHY WHY INVEST IN INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS SO ALL OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS INCLUDE STUDENTS AT THE CENTER SO OUR STUDENTS AND I DON'T KNOW IF EITHER OF YOU HAVE EVER PARTICIPATED IN ANY OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS BUT THAT IS KIND OF OUR MANDATE IS THAT THERE'S NO PURPOSE IN DOING THE INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGH IF THE STUDENTS ARE NOT IN THE ROOM WITH US. AND SO THEY ACTUALLY GO WITH US FROM CLASSROOM TO CLASSROOM AND THAT HAS BEEN THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE PART BECAUSE THEN THE STUDENTS TELL US FIRST HAND OH I HAD THAT MATH TEACHER I HAD THAT OTHER TEACHER AND THEN WE'RE USING THE CORE RUBRIC TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT, ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT FACTORS AND WE'RE GETTING REAL TIME FEEDBACK RIGHT THERE. AND THEN WHAT WE ALSO DO WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN HOW MOST INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS HAPPEN WE PARTNERED WITH STANFORD A FEW YEARS AGO TO LOOK AT WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF
OUR WALKTHROUGHS ON TEACHER PRACTICE AND INSTRUCTION. AND SO THROUGH THAT RESEARCH WITH STANFORD WE FOUND THAT EVEN THOUGH SMALL BECAUSE I HAD MY OWN QUESTIONS AND THE TEAM HAD THEIR OWN QUESTIONS OF WHAT ARE JUST THESE YOU KNOW, DROP IN MOMENTS IN A CLASSROOM LIKE DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING . AND SO THE TEACHERS REPORTED THAT THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY WERE GETTING WAS SIGNIFICANT BUT THEY WANTED MORE OF IT. SO NOW BUILT INTO THE INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGH TIME THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR ACTUALLY DOES THE FEEDBACK TO THE TEACHER IN THAT TIME AND WE ACTUALLY ENSURE THAT IT GETS SENT IN THAT MOMENT TO THE TEACHER SO THAT WE CAN TRACK THAT NONE OF THAT WAS A WASTE OF TIME, THAT EVERYONE'S MORNING WAS SPENT IN A WAY THAT WILL HAVE DIRECT IMPACT ON YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE HEADED. AND SO IN THOSE WALKTHROUGHS WHEN WE FOCUS ON MATH CLASSROOM WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT VARIANCE FROM SITE TO SITE AND WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO ADDRESS WHERE DO WE HAVE TEACHER PRACTICES, WHERE WE CAN HIGHLIGHT A TEACHER AT A DEPARTMENT MEETING IN CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION BECAUSE WE MAY NOT HAVE A SUPERVISOR IN A ROLE
IN CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION BUT HOW CAN WE BOOST UP A TEACHER LEADER AT ONE SCHOOL TO ACTUALLY PRESENT TO THEIR COLLEAGUES KIND OF HOW THEY'RE ENGAGING STUDENTS AND WHAT OUTCOMES THEY'RE GETTING? SO WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT OUR WALKTHROUGH PRACTICE AND REALLY BEING WORTH THE TIME AND THE SECOND. YOUR SECOND POINT YES WE SHOULD INVEST IN HIGH SCHOOL MORE. >> YEAH. AND JUST TO CLARIFY I WASN'T SUGGESTING THAT WE NOT DO THE WALK THROUGH IS I THINK MY QUESTION IS WHY ARE THEY NOT INCLUDED IN A MONITORING REPORT AROUND GOAL THREE IF WE KNOW THAT THAT PRACTICE IS MEANINGFUL, RIGHT? I THINK SO. I THINK THERE'S THAT AND AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP THE WHOLE CAN OF WORMS AROUND INTERIM GOALS AND WHY WE HAVE THEM THE WAY THAT WE DO. BUT BUT THE ONE THING I WOULD ADD HERE THEN IS IF THERE'S EVER A TIME FOR US TO REINVEST IN OUR COACHING FEELS LIKE THE TIME TO DO THAT IS NO BETTER TIME THAN THAN NOW OR YESTERDAY . >> YEAH I WOULD JUST ADD A QUICK COMMENT ABOUT WHY LEARNING WALKS ARE NOT INCLUDED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND IT GOES BACK TO THE DATA
COLLECTION ISSUE. SO HIGH SCHOOL TEAM THAT'S I MENTIONED HAS LONG HAD A STRONG PRACTICE OF DOING WALKTHROUGHS . >> THAT ALSO MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF LOCALLY GROWN SOLUTIONS FOR CAPTURING AND COLLECTING DATA WHICH MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO ESSENTIALLY COLLECT AND EXTRACT DATA FOR US TO PROCESS AND LOOK AT. SO SAME CHALLENGE AT A LEVEL WHERE THAT THAT WILL WORKING THROUGH. YEAH YEAH TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD AND I JUST WANT TO ADD PRESIDENT KIM THAT EXACTLY WHAT MOON HAWK WAS JUST SHARING IT'S A DATA COLLECTION SO WE HAVE AMAZING AMAZING PRACTICES HAPPENING ACROSS OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AS YOU KNOW THAT ARE NET NEUTRAL FOR OUR FISCAL IMPACTS. BUT WE DO NEED TO HAVE A WAY TO COLLECT THE DATA FOR THEM AND WE ARE GROWING THAT ESPECIALLY WITH OUR WORK THROUGH THE AD HOC COMMITTEE AND REALLY LOOKING AT THE THROUGH LINE YOU KNOW IF THIS IS THE GOAL HOW ARE WE COLLECTING IT AND HOW ARE REPORTING OUT? SO MORE TO COME ON THAT AND SOME EXCITING THINGS TO SHARE SOON.
MICHELLE ALEXANDER, THANKS FOR SENDING ME I WOULD JUST LOVE TO PICK UP ON YOUR QUESTION AROUND THE RESOURCE COMMITMENTS AND RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS AND I SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR INVESTING IN GOAL IN MEETING ALL THREE? I MEAN I GUESS THAT'S LIKE AROUND THE RESOURCE OUT WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN WHAT'S LAID OUT HERE IN THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION MOVING FORWARD FOR THE DISTRICT? I'LL TAKE THAT. UM WELL IT'S US MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SOCIAL WORKERS AND COUNSELORS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IN ORDER FOR A STUDENT TO GET OFF THE EWR LIST THEY NEED TO FEEL A CONNECTION TO SCHOOL COMMUNITY . SO THERE ARE TWO MAJOR INDICATORS TO EWG. ONE IS A GPA THAT'S OVER 2.0 AND FOR A STUDENT TO HAVE A GPA OVER 2.0 THEY NEED TO FEEL THAT THEIR LEARNING IS MEANINGFUL AND THAT THEY WANT TO BE THERE. THE OTHER PART TO GETTING OFF AN EWR LIST IS TO HAVE A ATTENDANCE RATE OF 85 87 LIKE THAT AND ABOVE AND IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN YOU ALSO NEED TO
CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE OUR STUDENTS FEEL THAT THEY ARE SEEN, WELCOMED AND BELONGED AND I KNOW THAT LAST YEAR WE SHARED WITH WITH THE BOARD THAT BASED ON OUR HOURS HOURS STUDENT WELLNESS DATA THAT WE HAD REALLY, REALLY HIGH RATES OF STUDENTS SAYING THAT THEY DO FEEL THAT THEY BELONG AND WELCOMED IN THEIR SCHOOLS PARTICULARLY IN HIGH SCHOOLS. SO US CONTINUING TO INVEST IN THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT INVEST IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. I KNOW THAT AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR DAVINA BROUGHT ALL OF THE PRINCIPALS TOGETHER TO REALLY EMPHASIZE MATH. I REMEMBER BEING A PART OF THAT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MATH BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT CORE CORE CORE FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING IN MATH AND READING AND WRITING IS GOING TO BE REALLY BENEFICIAL FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE CAREER LIFE OUTCOME. AND SO IT'S US CONTINUING TO DOUBLE DOWN AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS AND FUNDING
FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR EDUCATORS, FOR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. UM, SO THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES . MISSIONARY THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK ON THIS REPORT. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I'M GOING TO DIRECT MY QUESTIONS TO SUPERINTENDENT SUE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING IN OUR PROGRESS MONITORING COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND WHAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDING TO US. SO OKAY, UM SORRY I HAVE TO KIND OF LEAN FORWARD THIS WAY AT THE SAME TIME. UM, SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS AROUND CREDIT RECOVERY AND I KNOW I ASKED A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT IN THE Q&A SO I DON'T JUST WANT TO REPEAT THOSE QUESTIONS BUT I WANT TO GO MORE DEEPLY IN THIS AND ASK WHAT IS OUR THINKING AND STRATEGY AROUND OFFERING CREDIT RECOVERY? WHAT DO WE THINK THAT WE ARE DOING? WHAT DO WE THINK WE'RE ACHIEVING? ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE FOR INSTANCE BETTER GRADUATION RATES OR ACTUAL COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS? BECAUSE THOSE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. I GUESS I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM
YOU WHAT YOU THINK OUR PROGRAM IS DOING, WHAT WE WANT IT TO DO AND HOW WE CAN NARROW THE GAP BETWEEN THOSE THINGS AND PARTICULARLY NARROW THE GAP BETWEEN JUST GRADUATING AND BEING ACTUALLY COLLEGE AND CAREER READY. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER RAY AND I DO THINK THAT SO ONE, WE KNOW THAT IN ORDER FOR A YOUNG PERSON TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL. WE KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA BECAUSE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT A YOUNG PERSON WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA HAS A SIGNIFICANT LEG UP IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER STABILITY AS WELL AS LIFE STABILITY. SO I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A YOUNG PERSON IN ORDER FOR A YOUNG PERSON TO BE ABLE TO GRADUATE ON TIME WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. WE NEED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS FOR SOME OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. THERE ARE SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DO NEED SOME EXTRA SUPPORTS
DURING THE SUMMER EXTRA SUPPORT PERHAPS DURING THE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS SO THAT THEY CAN CATCH UP. I ALSO FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON HAS GREAT POTENTIAL TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND FANTASTIC AND SO WE THIS IS WHY WE PARTNER WITH A LOT OF OUR NONPROFIT AGENCIES TO PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SUMMER SUMMER PROGRAMING FOR CREDIT RECOVERY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THOSE ARE THE TIMES WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN CATCH UP AND GET THOSE ADDITIONAL CREDITS AND AND PARTICULARLY DURING GRADUATION TIME FOR SENIORS SO THEY CAN GRADUATE IN TERMS OF OF BEING READY FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER SO THAT I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS THAT DIFFERENT AND THAT FAR APART FROM GRADUATION I THINK IN TERMS OF BEING PREPARED FOR PREPARING OUR STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER MEANS WE HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE EXPOSURE TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN
SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO THEN ENGAGE IN SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM. HAVING THOSE MENTORS COME INTO SCHOOLS AND PROVIDE THE TYPES OF EXPOSURES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO TO REALLY ENGAGE IN PERHAPS A WORK EXPERIENCE, PERHAPS AN INTERNSHIP, PERHAPS SOME TYPE OF CAREER EXPOSURE. THAT'S WHAT YOU KNOW, PATRICK DOES SO WELL. SO SO I DO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE CONNECTED BUT BUT HONESTLY GRADUATION RATE IS REALLY WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE INDICATOR FOR FOR SUCCESS SO THAT A YOUNG PERSON WILL BE ABLE TO TO BE ABLE TO APPLY TO TWO JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T KNOW IF STEPH HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THAT. SO DID ANY OF YOU WANT TO COMMENT FURTHER? ALTHOUGH I ASKED MY NEXT QUESTION IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BUT IF YOU DO I, I WELCOME THAT.
I WOULD JUST ADD ABOUT THE CREDIT RECOVERY PIECES THAT WE DO EMPHASIZE IN OUR PROGRAM THAT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO GET A C OR HIGHER WHICH WOULD HELP THEM BE ABLE TO BE COLLEGE OR CAREER READY. SO IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT PASSING THE COURSE BUT IT'S PASSING OUT AT A HIGH ENOUGH RATE WHERE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT MARKER. JUST TO ADD ALSO UNDER DR. SEUSS DIRECTION I MET WITH VICE CHANCELLOR YI FROM CITY COLLEGE THIS LAST WEEK TO REALLY STRENGTHEN OUR OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS FOR CREDIT RECOVERY. THEY HAVE A TRUSTEE PROGRAM. THEY HAVE WAYS IN WHICH OUR STUDENTS CAN ENROLL IN CITY COLLEGE TO ALSO GET THE CREDITS . SO DR. SU HAS BEEN REALLY CLEAR TO STRENGTHEN THE PARTNERSHIP. IT'S NOT ONLY THROUGH OUR OWN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS DEPARTMENT BUT ALSO THROUGH OTHER OPPORTUNITIES WITH CITY COLLEGE. OKAY. THANK YOU. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOME FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CREDIT RECOVERY STUFF BUT I'LL
SAVE THOSE FOR RIGHT NOW SO I CAN JUST FOCUS ON THE HIGHER LEVEL STRATEGIC THINGS. UM MY SECOND QUESTION RELATES TO FOSTERING ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBILITY WHICH I THINK ARE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO STUDENTS DEVELOPING AGENCY AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE A LIFE WHERE THEY HAVE CHOICES IN FRONT OF THEM. UH, AND MORE CHOICES RATHER THAN FEWER CHOICES. UM, I ASKED A BIT ABOUT YOU KNOW, ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY AND SO FORTH HERE IN ACCOUNTABILITY AND IT WAS ONE OF THE SHORTEST ANSWERS THAT THAT WAS GIVEN TO QUESTIONS. AND SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU SUPERINTENDENTS TOO ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL WE ARE DOING THAT AS A DISTRICT. UH, CAN YOU CLARIFY I MEAN I BELIEVE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS KNOW THAT THERE IS A CODE OF CONDUCT IN OUR SCHOOLS. THERE'S EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS TO PERFORM. THERE IS AN EXPECTATION FOR FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE TO ENGAGE AND AND TO HAVE MEANINGFUL DIALOG WITHIN THEIR
SCHOOLS, WITHIN THEIR CLASS WITH WITH THEIR WITH THEIR EDUCATORS, WITH THEIR TEACHERS. UM, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT AS A SCHOOL WE ARE HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. OR AS A DISTRICT WE ARE HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. I DO BELIEVE THAT IT DOES START AT THE TOP AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT MEANS THAT I HAVE TO SET AND WE AS A BOARD OF OF A TEAM OF GOVERNANCE LEADERS SET THE METRICS AND GOALS AND THEN I WORK WITH OUR EXECUTIVE KAPANEN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALLOCATING RESOURCES AND FUNDS SO THAT THEN THE LEADERSHIP TEAM CAN THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING THOSE RESOURCES TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THE GOALS THAT WE AS A GOVERNANCE BODY ARE SETTING IN TERMS OF THEN BRINGING IT DOWN INTO THE SCHOOLS ITSELF. IT STARTS WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH OUR PRINCIPALS ARE ADMINISTRATORS SO THAT THEY HAVE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT WE AS A GOVERNANCE TEAM IS SETTING FOR OURSELVES AND OUR STUDENTS AND THEN IT CONTINUES TO TRICKLE DOWN.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE THE WALKTHROUGHS ARE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW WE ARE HOLDING EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE WHERE WITHIN THE INSTRUCTIONAL WALKTHROUGHS WE ARE OBSERVING EDUCATION EDUCATORS DELIVERING AND PROVIDING THE CURRICULUM. AND SO IT IT IS AN ITERATIVE PROCESS AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL TAKE TIME BUT YOU ARE SEEING THE RESULTS OF THAT PROCESS RIGHT NOW IN THIS PRESENTATION YOU'RE SEEING THAT WE ARE MOVING OUR STUDENTS IN THEIR OUTCOMES SMALL BUT THERE IS A GROWTH. AND I THINK IT'S IT'S A GROWTH THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PUSH FORWARD BUT IT'S A GROWTH BECAUSE YOU'RE SEEING COORDINATION ACROSS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND A GREATER EMPHASIS ON ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. I JUST LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT A BIT. UM, I DEFINITELY CARE A GREAT
DEAL ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE FROM THE BROADER PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE DO TOO. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET LIKE AS GOOD A SENSE I CAN OF WHAT WE FEEL AS A DISTRICT AND I AM NOT BY ASKING THIS IMPLYING THAT STUDENTS DON'T WORK HARD. THERE ARE MANY STUDENTS WHO WORK EXTREMELY HARD BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR SENSE IS OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE THINK STUDENTS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WE THINK THAT STUDENTS LIKE THAT WE WANT THEM TO GET FROM BEING EDUCATED IN A SAFE USD SO THAT THEY WILL BE, YOU KNOW, INDEPENDENT AGENTS AND ABLE TO HAVE A CHOICE FILLED LIFE IN ESSENCE. SO LIKE WHAT IS IT THAT WE THINK STUDENTS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OR NEED TO DO? WHAT SKILLS DO OR ABILITIES DO WE WANT TO HELP INCULCATE IN STUDENTS? WHAT DO WE EXPECT THEM TO DO? THANK YOU. WELL, SO MY PERSONAL VIEW IS AS A WORLD CLASS CITY I DO BELIEVE THAT OUR STUDENTS SHOULD AVAIL THEMSELVES TO ALL THE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT THE CITY PROVIDES. I THINK AS YOUNG PEOPLE I
FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON WANTS TO DO WELL AND WANTS TO FURTHER THEIR LIFE. SO I, I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT WITHIN PARTICULARLY HIGH SCHOOL AS WE'RE TALKING NOW, OUR EDUCATORS ARE PROMOTING THAT SENSE OF CURIOSITY IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. WE WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO WHERE WE HAD THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT SUPPORTING THEIR THEIR THEIR TEACHERS, THEIR COMMUNITY. SO THE SENSE OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO RIGHT NOW ARE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET ALL OF THEIR GPAS TOGETHER SO THAT THEY CAN HEAR ABOUT FROM THEIR SCHOOLS. SO WE ALSO KNOW THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THRIVING AND WORKING REALLY HARD TO TO EARN AND ACHIEVE THE GRADES AND KNOW THAT THEY WANT TO FURTHER THEMSELVES WITHIN THEIR
EDUCATION OR ACADEMIC CAREER. AT THE END OF THE DAY I THINK OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS TO PROVIDE THE TOOLS NECESSARY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE RATIONAL THINKERS, TO BE ABLE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES BUT BE GIVEN THE THE TOOLS AND THE INFORMATION SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS TO BE TRULY BE THE MASTERS OF THEIR FUTURE. I THINK WE WOULD FAIL AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND AS A SOCIETY IF WE TELL YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO THINK AND WHAT TO THINK. I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE AND GIVING THEM THE TOOLS TO BE CRITICAL THINKERS AND MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES. COMMISSIONER FISCHER THEN COMMISSIONER GUPTA, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. UM, I DO APPRECIATE THIS CONVERSATION AND THE DATA THAT'S NOT ONLY IN THE REPORT BUT THAT I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT THE AREA DATA AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE SEEING THE UM THE BREAKOUT
AND THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING DATA SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM, WE APPRECIATE THE INCREASE IN THE DATA ANALYSIS AND THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN GROUPS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POINTING THAT OUT. IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO HEAR. UM AND A COUPLE OF THINGS I HEARD THAT I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON PARTICULARLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE EARLY WARNING INDICATORS AND I SAW THAT ON THE PRESENTATION AND HERE IN THE REPORT AS WELL UM THE IMPORTANCE OF THE THE COORDINATED TEAM, THE WELLNESS CENTERS, THE COUNSELORS ATTENDANCE SUPPORT ALL OF THAT WAS MENTIONED BY YOU AS SPEAKERS HERE AS WELL AS IN THE MATERIALS WE HAVE AND AND WHAT WAS PRESENTED. BUT I THE QUESTION I REALLY HAVE IS HOW DO WE KEEP THIS WORK GOING WITH THE CUTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING LIKE WE SEE YOU KNOW IN ONE IN H ONE AN UPCOMING AGENDA ITEM THAT WE'RE GOING TO CUT SIX COUNSELOR POSITIONS RIGHT?
SO LIKE HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALIGNING OUR RESOURCES WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF OF THIS PROGRESS MONITORING SESSION? SO THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS I HAVE. UM AND ALSO WITH EDA RIGHT NOW IT'S BEING COVERED BY THE GATES FOUNDATION IN WEST ED I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE WANT TO KEEP GOING. DO WE HAVE ANY PLANS OR RESOURCES TO KEEP IT GOING AFTER THE GRANT RUNS OUT? SO I THINK MY NEXT STEP FOR ME IS SEEING THE RESOURCES TIED TO MAKING SURE THAT TO PRESIDENT KIM'S POINT, WE CONTINUE TO, YOU KNOW, INVEST IN THE WORK THAT IS IS REALLY DRIVING CHANGE. UM AND AS FAR AS CREDIT RECOVERY. UM TWO OF MY KIDS HAVE UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO PARTICIPATE IN CREDIT RECOVERY. UM ONE BOTH IN NINTH OR 10TH GRADE ONE WITHOUT IT BY THE WAY SHE WOULD NOT HAVE QUALIFIED FOR HER CSU. SO THANK YOU TO THE CREDIT RECOVERY TEAM AND THE OTHER UM IT LIT A FIRE UNDER US BUT TO
REALIZE THAT MOM WAS SERIOUS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY UM, SO IT HAS SO I DO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE THERE UM AND HAVING THIS AS AN OPTION FOR OUR STUDENTS SO THANK YOU. YES. THE RESOURCE QUESTION I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO ANSWER I'M TAKING MY SOAPBOX OUT JUST STANDING OUT OF OUT OF THE QUESTION. YES. SO YOU MADE REFERENCE TO AN ITEM THAT IS COMING UP AFTER THIS AGENDA IS OVER AND THE THE THE THE STAFFING REDUCTION ITEM IS REALLY AROUND POSITIONS THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT. SO THAT'S A VERY SEPARATE TYPE OF CONVERSATION IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE REALLY GREAT WORK OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL TEAM. YOU'RE GOING TO THIS IS YOU'RE HEARING A COMBINATION OF THINGS. ONE IS THAT WE ARE WRITING GRANTS TO TRY TO SUPPLEMENT.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE A LOT OF OUR CAREER TECH CAREER TECHNOL TECHNOLOGICAL AND EDUCATION, CAREER TECH ED WORK, CTE WORK UNFORTUNATELY IS IS IT'S FUNDED THROUGH GRANTS AND IT'S SO IT REQUIRES US TO EITHER RE-UP THOSE GRANTS OR FIND NEW GRANTS TO CONTINUE TO SUPPLEMENT AND WE ARE VERY MUCH COMMITTED TO DOING THAT AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE HOW IT REALLY PANS OUT. AS YOU HAVE HEARD, THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF OF THIS SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING REALLY WELL AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU KNOW WITH MORE DATA. ANOTHER ANOTHER SEMESTER ANOTHER YEAR OF THIS WILL YIELD AND IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY POSITIVE THAT IS MOVING THE NEEDLE FOR OUR STUDENTS, THEN ABSOLUTELY WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO FUNDRAISE FOR IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S AVAILABLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. CAN I ADD SOMETHING THAT GOT A GOOD RESPONSE? >> UM, SO I DON'T WANT TO ONLY FOCUS ON THE COUNSELING PIECE AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF
THE QUESTIONS ABOUT RESOURCES. SO THIS GOAL ALSO ENCOMPASSES OUR SUPPORT TO CTE TEACHERS AND THAT IS THE WORK THAT THE COLLEGE AND CAREER DIVISION HAS REALLY BEEN HOLDING. AND SO THERE'S OVER 100 TEACHERS. YEAH, YEAH. SO OVER 100 TEACHERS THAT THROUGH THAT DEPARTMENT GET PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE GRANTS THAT ARE MANAGED WE THERE'S AUDITS THERE IS YOU KNOW, A TON OF WORK THAT HAPPENS TO SUPPORT THAT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT IS A REALLY BIG PIECE OF GOAL THREE AND THEN ALSO OUR ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES ARE A HEAVIER RESOURCE FOR A SCHOOL SITE SO SCHOOL SITES WILL BE MAKING DECISIONS RIGHT NOW AS THEY DO THEIR SCHEDULE IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DUTY FREE PREP PERIOD FOR TEACHERS AND THAT WILL THAT WILL IMPACT HOW MANY ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES EACH SCHOOL CAN GIVE. AND BOTH OF THOSE TWO FACTORS PLAY INTO THE OVERALL INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD. SO THESE ARE LIKE STRUCTURAL
THINGS ABOUT A SCHOOL THAT AREN'T ABOUT WHETHER A STUDENT WANTS TO BE IN THE PROGRAM OR KIND OF EVEN THEIR SUCCESS. BUT IT'S KIND OF THE BASELINE OF WHAT WE CAN EVEN PROVIDE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KIND OF LOOK AT BEYOND JUST THE COUNSELING PIECE AND ACTUALLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN STUDENT DELEGATE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. YOU ARE WELCOME TO LEAVE. WANT TO SAY IT'S 9:00. THANK YOU. OKAY. OH, CAN THEY OKAY SO I BELIEVE THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA OVERALL BECAUSE COMING FROM LIKE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN LIKE YOU GIVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES IN WORKING OR INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS THEY GET ON RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES BECAUSE USUALLY INTERNSHIPS REQUIRE THEM TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND BE ABLE TO LIKE TIME MANAGEMENT OVERALL AND THAT WORKED REALLY MUCH FOR ME SOPHOMORE YEAR I WAS NOT REALLY LIKE YOU COULD SAY ON MY GRIND AND AFTER A SUMMER INTERNSHIP I WAS NOT LOCKED IN. I WAS REALLY NOT YOU KNOW ATTENDANCE WASN'T THE BEST
AND THEN I HAD A SUMMER INTERNSHIP AT UCSF AND I SAW THAT YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO NEGATIVE AND WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES YOU KIND OF LIKE YOU COULD SAY LIKE REVENGE OR LIKE UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE. YOU'RE LIKE OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT ? LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I LIKE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR I WAS DOING ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'M LIKE THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES SO I DO REALLY BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU ARE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY IT REALLY OPENS HIGH SCHOOLER'S EYES AND YOU'RE LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT? LIKE I HAVE A CHANCE AT THIS AND I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DON'T THINK LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE DURING BUDGET CUTS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERNSHIPS ARE REALLY, REALLY LOW AND I KNEW THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS WERE LIKE OH THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO EVERYTHING UM EVERYTHING IS EITHER REALLY LIKE YOU COULD SAY LIKE REALLY SMALL LIKE LIKE AVAILABILITY AND THEY'RE LIKE OH YOU KNOW THIS IS BUT LIKE THIS CAN SO MUCH LIKE OTHER
SIMPLE LIKE YOU COULD SAY LIKE EXPERIENCE SCHOOL CAN LEAD TO SO MUCH MORE AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF I CAN REALLY SHOW A STUDENT LIKE RESPONSIBILITY AND IF THEY WANT TO DO THIS IN COLLEGE AND IT GIVES THEM LIKE OH MAYBE I DO WANT TO DO THIS, MAYBE THEY'LL DO IT AT FIRST SO I GET THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS YOU KNOW AND IT'S LIKE A REALLY GOOD OVERALL LIKE IT WOULD LEAD TO SO MANY GOOD RESULTS COMING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I FEEL LIKE IT JUST GIVES THAT PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS THAT AREN'T REALLY FAMILIAR WITH IT AND HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD ABOUT IT. SO I REALLY THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA AND I KNOW A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WOULD REALLY LOVE THIS. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY'LL GO MORE TO SCHOOL BECAUSE IT ALSO KIND OF GIVES THE STUDENT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE I CAN BE IN THESE FIELDS AND NOT FEEL LIKE I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH FOR THEM. SO WHEN THEY GET THOSE LIKE EXPERIENCES AND LIKE KIND OF OPEN OUT THEY FEEL MORE CONFIDENT AND THEY'RE SETTING
THEMSELVES IN LIKE OVERALL LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT DUMB. I'M SMART AND I CAN DO THINGS AND I CAN COME TO SCHOOL MORE OFTEN AND ACTUALLY TRY AND SCHOOLWORK AND GET MY STUFF TOGETHER. SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FUNDED MORE AND I'M REALLY I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I USED TO GO TO MISSION AND WE DIDN'T LIKE HAVE AS MUCH BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAD WERE REALLY REALLY GOOD AND THEY MAKE A REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH MELANIE THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE AND I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY AND THAT YOU'RE ADVOCATING FOR OTHER STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SAME. I ALSO JUST WANT TO ADD WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T MENTION THE FACT THAT MISSION BAY HUB IS GOING LIVE VERY SOON WHICH IS A HUGE RESOURCE ALLOCATION THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS REALLY QUADRUPLED DOWN ON. I WOULD SAY. AND SO THE IDEA IS THAT WILL BE OVER 200 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE MISSION BAY HUB NOT ONLY
AND THEN THAT'S SEPARATE FROM MISSION BAY ELEMENTARY, RIGHT? ONE OF OUR TOP TOP REQUESTED SCHOOLS FOR NEXT YEAR BUT VERY, VERY EXCITING AND I JUST REALLY WANT TO NAME THAT BECAUSE THAT IS KIND OF THAT WILL BE COMING IN MORE FUTURE REPORTS, RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT IS OPENING AND THAT IS A RESOURCE ALLOCATION THAT DOCTORS WHO HAS BEEN REALLY CLEAR ABOUT YET BUT MISSION BAY LADIES THANK YOU BUT THE MISSION BAY HUB IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A PUBLIC PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL UCSF AND I BELIEVE SOME OF OUR AND AND THEN OF COURSE SOME OF THE PRIVATE COMPANIES AROUND THE MISSION BAY AREA BUT THEN IT'S ALSO JOINTLY FUNDED WITH SOME PHILANTHROPIC FUNDS SO IT'S JUST SUCH A WONDERFUL WAY FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO OFFER THOSE INTERNSHIPS AND CAREER EXPOSURE SO THAT THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO DO WHEN THEY GROW UP. LOVE IT. THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS.
UH, YOU MENTIONED THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD AND THE REPORT SO I STARTED DOING MORE DIGGING AND GOING DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE AS I LEARNED ALWAYS CHECK ON LINKS IN THE REPORTS AND SO FORTH. SO UM, LOOKING AT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD SO FIRST OF ALL IT'S GREAT THAT WE'VE INCREASED BY TWO POINTS. UM, I NOTICED THAT YOU KNOW WHEN WE LOOK AT PEER DISTRICTS AND EVEN CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA WENT UP SEVEN POINTS FROM 45% TO 52% IN THE LAST YEAR. LONG BEACH OFTEN APPEARED DISTRICT THAT WE LOOK TO UH SIMILAR SIZE DEMOGRAPHICS WENT UP TEN POINTS FROM 49% TO 59%. EVEN A PLACE LIKE FRESNO WITH GREATER VOCAL POPULATIONS UM AND OVER 65% SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGE WENT FROM 43 TO 50%. AND SO MY QUESTION YOU KNOW SOME OF THIS MAY BE MACRO TRENDS AND SO YOU KNOW I'M KIND OF KEEPING THAT IN MIND WE'RE GETTING FARTHER AWAY FROM COVID BUT WE ALSO HAVE GREATER CONCENTRATION OF FOCAL POPULATIONS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS I THINK ACROSS ACROSS THE STATE. AND SO I'M CURIOUS UM, WHAT
WHAT ARE OTHER COMPARABLE SCHOOL DISTRICTS DOING THAT YOU FEEL WE MAY LEARN FROM IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANTLY RAISING OUR COLLEGE OR CAREER READINESS SO OAKLAND FOR EXAMPLE HAS A DUAL ENROLLMENT PARTNERSHIP WHERE THEY HAVE YOU KNOW, ALMOST ALL OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE IN DUAL ENROLLMENT AND SO THEY HAVE A COORDINATOR AT EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL SITE. IT IS BUILT INTO ALL OF THEIR MASTER SCHEDULE. THEY HAVE YOU KNOW, THAT COORDINATOR WHO IS SUPPORTING THE STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASS. AND SO I THINK SOME OF THE GROWTH OF OTHER DISTRICTS IS MORE DISTRICTS TAKING ON THOSE PARTNERSHIPS THAT MAYBE DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE SFI USD WAS MORE OF AN EARLY ADOPTER OF THOSE THINGS AND SO THERE IS A POINT WHERE YOU KNOW, WE EITHER NEED TO DO A MAJOR MORE INVESTMENT IN TERMS OF EITHER GROWING OUR CTE COURSES OR AP COURSES OR ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT LEVELS THAT ARE STRUCTURES AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE PROVIDE STUDENTS. I THINK FOR SOME OTHER DISTRICTS THEY WERE NOT UM, YOU KNOW MAYBE DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THAT IN PLACE AND ARE AND ARE GROWING THAT LITTLE BY LITTLE.
UM SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON I DON'T IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN PATRICK I WAS JUST GONNA SAY WE'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT OTHER OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING MORE WORK AROUND GRADING PRACTICES AS A AS A DISTRICT AND SO THAT ALSO HAS AN IMPACT ON STUDENTS BEING COLLEGE AND OR KARATE BASED ON THEIR AG COURSE SUCCESS RATES. GOT IT. I APPRECIATE SO ARE THERE ANY THINGS AND I THINK THIS KIND OF BUILDS ON WHAT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER AND PRESIDENT KIM WERE TALKING ABOUT WHERE ARE THERE ANY PRACTICES THAT YOU'RE SEEING THAT WE HAVE NOT YET ADAPTED THAT MAY LEAD TO EVEN GREATER GAINS LIKE WE'RE SEEING AND IN SOME OF THESE OTHER REGIONS? UM, I WOULD JUST GO BACK TO SOME OF THE WORK AROUND HIGH QUALITY CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND SO YOU KNOW ONE PIECE I WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT AGAIN NOT NOT TO BE A BIT OF A BROKEN RECORD BUT YOU KNOW
HIGH SCHOOL HAS HAD 10 OR 15 YEARS OR MORE DEPENDING ON THE CONTENT AREA SINCE THE ADOPTION OF NEW MATERIALS. UM, HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ARE THE FLOOR NOT THE CEILING OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND SO YOU KNOW HOWEVER WE WOULDN'T HAVE A HOME WITHOUT BRACE AND BOLT OR DOING SOME SEISMIC RETROFITTING AND SO UM IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT IS ONE SPECIFIC INITIATIVE. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DISTRICTS WHO HAVE BEGUN HIGH SCHOOL ADOPTION PROCESS. IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SORT OF START IN K EIGHT AND THEN GO INTO HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD SAY THAT'S ONE PIECE. ANOTHER ADDITIONAL PIECE IS INCREASING THE SCOPE IN THE CONTENT OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. WE HAVE A REALLY ROBUST SYSTEM FOR WORKING WITH HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL ACROSS CONTENT AREAS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD AS ROBUST ENGAGEMENT WITH HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS AS A COHORT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH THINGS LIKE YOU KNOW, COMMON PLANNING TIME AND GRADE LEVEL RELEASE
DAYS. UM THE OTHER PIECE THAT I WOULD SAY IS THE WORK AROUND HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES THAT DEVINA HAS SPOKEN TO WITH THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MATERIALS COACHING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEN CLASSROOM INDICATORS THAT WE'RE LEANING INTO. WE'VE REPORTED ON THAT WORK IN K EIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH GUARDRAIL THREE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WITH GOAL ONE AND GOAL TWO. BUT I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER AREA THAT OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE LEANED INTO AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL THAT IS A GROWTH AREA FOR US. SO I THINK THE COMBINATION OF ALL OF THOSE PIECES WOULD COMPLEMENT THE WORK THAT DEVINA SPOKE TO UM AROUND YOU KNOW THE PROGRAMMATIC ASPECTS OF OF COURSE OFFERINGS PROGRAM OFFERINGS AND SOME OF THE COUNSELING AND SUPERVISION WORK . SO CAN I JUST ADD THAT I, I ALSO THINK THAT DEVINA AND THE ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SUPPORTING PRINCIPALS AS WELL AND SO YOU SEE OUR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A VERY HIGH TURNOVER AT ALL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AND
SO THAT I THINK THAT IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT. IT'S SPEAKS TO DEVIN AND THE TEAM'S LEADERSHIP IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING OUR PRINCIPALS, MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS THE GOALS THAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY. THANK YOU. SO I DIDN'T THINK OF IT EARLIER SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT PUTTING INTO THE QUESTIONS BUT CAN WE YOU SEE THIS INFORMATION DISAGGREGATED BY THE FOCAL POPULATIONS THAT WE HAVE? UM, IT HELPS UNDERSTAND ACTUAL GAINS MADE AS I SUSPECT SOME OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS THAT WE SEE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. UM MAY MASK SOME OF THE GAINS DUE TO SHRINKING NUMBER OF NON FOCAL POPULATIONS AND NON SOCIO ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. SO YOU KNOW WE'VE GAINED THREE POINTS IN TERMS OF SUCH ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. SO WE KNOW YOU KNOW WE DON'T SEE THE SAME RESULTS AS NON SAID SO FOR FUTURE REPORTS TO BE INTERESTING BECAUSE I THINK WE MIGHT ACTUALLY SEE MORE
GAINS UM YOU KNOW SO THAT WOULD BE ONE ONE REQUEST. AND THEN ONE OTHER THING UM ACTUALLY SUPERINTENDENT UM I'M CURIOUS RELATED TO THAT WHAT ARE WE DOING TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT AND BRING BACK THE 3000 STUDENTS THAT WE'VE LOST BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF YOU FOLLOW THE WORK OF SAY RENOWNED HARVARD INEQUALITY ECONOMIST RAJ SHETTY, HE KNOWS THAT YOU KNOW, RELATED TO THE SCHOOL LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND SOCIOECONOMICALLY INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE HIGHER COLLEGE ATTENDANCE RATES PRIMARILY DUE TO INCREASED ECONOMIC CONNECTEDNESS ACCESS TO SOCIAL CAPITAL, HIGHER ASPIRATION AND NORMS, BETTER SCHOOL RESOURCES. YEAH. SO WE ACTUALLY DEVINA WAS STARTED TALKING ABOUT THAT WE STARTED LAST YEAR AND REALLY DOUBLED DOWN DOUBLING DOWN ON OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY COLLEGE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE DUAL ENROLLMENT OPPORTUNITIES SO THAT THERE ARE MORE AP CLASSES THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
CAN PARTICIPATE IN SO THAT THERE ARE MORE DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES IN ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS SO THAT IT'S IT'S NOT JUST A CONCENTRATION OF ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS CLASSES IN ONLY A SUBSET OF OUR SCHOOLS BUT NOW WE CAN HAVE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ACCESS THESE PROGRAMS IN THESE CLASSES ACROSS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS AND THEN NUMBER TWO, WE PARTNERED WITH SAN FRANCISCO STATE TO SAY EVERY HIGH'S EVERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO S.F. STATE BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS. SO IT'S CONSTANTLY PUSHING TOWARDS THIS NOTION THAT YOU CAN DO IT. WE WE BELIEVE IN YOU AND WE WILL HAVE THE SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO GET YOU THERE. I REALLY IT GOES BACK TO THIS NOTION WHAT COMMISSIONER RAY WAS TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF HAVING EXPECTATIONS, HAVING GIVING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE THE THE BELIEF THAT THEY CAN DO THIS AND AND SO AS PUTTING IN PLACE THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS WILL GET US CLOSER THEY'RE
PARTNERING WITH OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS AND OUR NONPROFIT AGENCIES TO EXPAND INTERNSHIP AND CAREER EXPOSURE OPPORTUNITIES IS ALSO ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AS THEY ARE ENGAGING IN CTE PROGRAMS. SORRY SORRY APOLOGIES FOR MIS COMMUNICATING. I MEANT UM GETTING YOU KNOW WE LOST 3000 STUDENTS IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT IN SFI USD AND SO A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS VOTED WITH THEIR FEET OR LEFT FOR WHATEVER REASON WENT TO INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS AND YOU KNOW A LOT OF WHAT WE HEAR IN PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL AS YOU KNOW WHAT I REFERENCE WHEN I WHEN I REFER TO THE ECONOMIST RAJ CHETTY IS THE IDEA OF IF WE BRING THOSE STUDENTS BACK YOU KNOW WE TALK ABOUT THE HIGH COST OF SOME OF THESE INTERVENTIONS WHICH IS GREAT AND WELL WORTHWHILE BUT THERE'S ALMOST AS PASSIVE ABILITY TO INCREASE SCORES BY MAKING SURE WE STILL MAINTAIN A VERY DIVERSE POPULATION OF STUDENTS. SO YOU KNOW A FREE IF YOU WILL
A FREE INTERVENTION IS IF WE CAN BRING BACK THOSE STUDENTS THAT WE'VE LOST OVER THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS OR ATTRACT STUDENTS THEN THAT THAT OFFERS ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT PAYING ANY. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE NEED TO WELL, THERE'S TWO PARTS TO TO ENROLLMENT. RIGHT. SO WE NEED TO DEFINITELY PROVE INCREASE OUR ENROLLMENT BY HAVING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE CAN SEE VALUE IN. SO THAT'S EITHER MORE ACADEMIC RIGOROUS CLASSES SO THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE CAN SEE THE TRAJECTORY TO GO INTO, YOU KNOW, COLLEGE CAREER AND LIFE. I THINK THERE'S ALSO IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT IS JUST TO HAVE TO HAVE PROGRAMS TO GET PEOPLE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM. SO WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AND GETTING OUR STUDENTS BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THOSE INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES AND THEN THEY CAN THEN AVAIL THEMSELVES TO ALL OF THESE OTHER DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FILLING OUR CLASSROOMS, MAKING
SURE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE VIBRANT PLACES, THEN THERE'S THERE'S THE BRINGING STUDENTS BACK AND THEN CONTINUING TO HAVE PROGRAMS THAT FAMILIES WILL WANT TO CHOOSE. AND THEN IN TERMS OF JUST DECLINING ENROLLMENT IN GENERAL ,WE AS A CITY ARE EXPERIENCING A DECLINING ENROLLMENT OR JUST A DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WE AS A STATE, AS A COUNTRY ARE EXPERIENCING THAT. AND SO I THINK THAT UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS IMPACTING ALL OF US. BUT I DO DEFINITELY HEAR YOUR YOUR YOUR PUSH FOR US TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX TO SEE IF THERE IS OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN CREATE PARTICULARLY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS SO THAT WE CAN ATTRACT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR SUFFUSED MIDDLE SCHOOLERS SO THAT THEY CAN GO TO HIGH SCHOOL OR ATTRACT OTHER STUDENTS TO COME BACK TO SMU. SD YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT ARE KIND OF FOLLOW UPS ON PARTS OF THE DISCUSSION EARLIER.
UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE INVESTING IN NEW HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR HIGH SCHOOL MATH AND I RECALL AT AN EARLIER MEETING LAST YEAR THERE WAS A LARGER SCHEDULE FOR REVIEWING AND UPDATING ALL OF OUR CURRICULUM AND ON THAT HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES WERE AMONG THE PRIORITY CURRICULA IS THAT STILL ALSO A UM PRIORITIZED UPDATE TO OUR CURRICULUM AND WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT? THAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT IS WE ARE PREPARING TO BRING FORTH TO THE BOARD A RECOMMENDATION FOR ADOPTION AT THE END OF APRIL. UM WE ARE ANTICIPATING A RECOMMENDATION FOR ADOPTION FOR HISTORY SOCIAL STUDIES FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND FOR HIGH SCHOOL. UM UNFORTUNATELY AFTER A MUCH REVIEW AND EVALUATION AND WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A HIGH QUALITY MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM UM AND SO WE DO NOT YET FEEL AT THIS POINT THAT THERE IS A PROGRAM THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING BEFORE THE BOARD SO FOR ELEMENTARY AND FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND WE ANTICIPATE IN THE END OF APRIL.
GREAT. AND WILL THAT BE FOR ALL HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULA LIKE WORLD HISTORY, U.S. HISTORY, ETC.? YES, FOR HIGH SCHOOL WE'RE ANTICIPATING U.S. HISTORY, WORLD HISTORY, ETHNIC STUDIES AND THEN THE FINAL COURSE IS AN ECONOMICS AND GOVERNMENT COURSE. THE ONE CAVEAT TO THAT BEING THE STATE'S UPDATED REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL LITERACY. UM AND THE PIECE WITHIN THAT IS THAT FINANCIAL LITERACY DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPLACE ECONOMICS. UM AND SO IN THAT PIECE WE'RE FINALIZING THE RECOMMENDATION ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PAIRING OF COURSES IN PARTICULAR. GREAT. THANK YOU. AND I KNOW IN OUR BEST AD HOC COMMITTEE WE TALK ABOUT NOT HAVING THE THROAT CLEARING COMMENTS BUT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS HAVEN'T COME OUT YET SO I CAN'T HELP MYSELF . UM I JUST WANT TO SAY I REALLY WAS REALLY, REALLY HEARTENED TO SEE A 5% YEAR OVER YEAR
INCREASE IN MATH PROFICIENCY FOR NINTH AND 10TH GRADERS WINTER TO WINTER AND I FEEL LIKE THAT IS UM JUST REALLY A GREAT TO SEE MONITOR REPORTS WHERE NUMBERS ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WE'RE SEEING SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. UM DO YOU HAVE MY STRATEGIC QUESTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT? UM, ONE THING THAT I NOTED IS UM AND THE WRITTEN REPORT AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE NINE TO FOLLOW UP ON THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND CREDIT RECOVERY TO ME IT DID SEEM LIKE CREDIT RECOVERY COURSES WERE ONE OF THE DISTRICT'S MAIN STRATEGY FOR GETTING STUDENTS BACK ON TRACK AND REACHING INTERIM GOAL 3.2 AND THE WRITTEN REPORT NOTES NEXT YEAR A REDUCTION IN FUNDING WILL IMPACT THE NUMBER OF COURSES OFFERED AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENROLLED. STUDENTS WILL NEED TO BE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THOSE WITH HIGHEST NEED. UM MY UNDERSTANDING OF STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE IS THAT THE KIND OF ENTIRE POINT
IS TO PROTECT AND INVEST IN DIFFICULT BUDGET TIMES IN THOSE THINGS THAT WILL MOVE THE NUMBERS TOWARD OUR GOALS AND THIS INTERIM GOAL 3.2 SPECIFICALLY THE SUPERINTENDENT SELECTED INTERIM GOAL. AND SO MY QUESTION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT IS WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY AROUND BUDGETING AND TO PROTECT AND EVEN EXPAND CREDIT RECOVERY OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE ALREADY SHOWING IMPROVEMENTS IN YOUR CHOSEN INTERIM GOAL 3.2 THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. AND AS I SHARED A LOT OF THE WORK WITHIN THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM OR THE HIGH SCHOOL UNIT IS IS REALLY COMES FROM MIXED FUNDING SOURCES AND SO CREDIT RECOVERY IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE TO AGGRESSIVELY WRITE GRANTS FOR AND AND FUNDRAISE FOR AND SO WE WE WE WILL JUST CONTINUE TO TO DO THAT AND THAT THAT'S GREAT BUT IF GRANT FUNDING IS NOT FORTHCOMING THERE'S ALSO ALWAYS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLOCATE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS TO INVEST IN MEETING OUR STUDENT OUTCOME
GOALS. SO IS THERE A BACKUP STRATEGY UH ON A TIMELINE THAT FITS OUR BUDGET FOR THAT I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK AND SHARE WITH YOU THE STRATEGY. WE ALL SAID IT IS OKAY. THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENT HULING SORRY WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, UM MUCH APPRECIATED. UM HAS TWO MINUTES. HE CERTAINLY DOES NOT FEEL MY TIME BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION I'M GETTING YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASK A FINAL QUESTION BEFORE WE WRAP UP? UH, I WOULD I I'M CURIOUS WHAT OUR STRATEGY BEYOND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS TO INCREASE YOUTH WITH FIDELITY OF IDEA NOW THAT WE'RE SEEING IT WORKING THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS AROUND SCHEDULING AND INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES AND SO BEYOND JUST EDUCATING TEACHERS THAT IT WORKS, WHAT ARE OUR STRATEGIES FOR MAKING TIME IN THE DAY FOR STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO USE IT SO SO CURRENTLY EDA IS A VOLUNTARY TOOL AND SO I THINK WHAT THE TEAM NEEDS TO DO NOW IS GO BACK AND CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE DATA AND SEE IF THE IF
IT IF IT IS TRULY YIELDING BECAUSE IT COULD JUST WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE JUST A INITIAL EXCITEMENT OF A NEW TOOL. WE ACTUALLY WANT IT TO ACTUALLY YIELD LONG TERM RESULTS AND IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS YIELDING THAT WE CAN PIVOT FROM A VOLUNTARY TOOL TO SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO ASK OUR TEACHERS TO TO USE AND INTEGRATE INTO THEIR SCHOOL DAY. I KNOW FOR STUDENTS INCREASING STUDENT USE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE STUDENTS TO USE IT IS THEIR PEER GROUP AND HEARING FROM OTHER STUDENTS OH THIS REALLY HELP ME TO DO BETTER IN MATH AND SO PART OF THE PROCESS AND KIND OF THE EXCITEMENT OF WORKING WITH EDA IS THAT RESEARCH IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE. SO THERE IS STUDENT THERE IS YOU KNOW, STUDENT FOCUS GROUPS AND TEACHER FOCUS GROUPS AND WE'RE COLLECTING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND IN A PILOT WE DIDN'T DICTATE BECAUSE I HAVE THIS QUESTION IN THE
BEGINNING CAN STUDENTS DO IT FOR HOMEWORK? DO THEY HAVE TO DO IT IN CLASS? AND WHAT WE'RE STUDYING IS WHAT ARE THE VARIANCES IF THIS TEACHER GIVES PROTECTED TIME VERSUS ANOTHER TEACHER WHO IT'S A HOMEWORK AND SO WE'RE IN THIS REALLY EXCITING LEARNING PHASE WHERE THEN WE CAN KIND OF PRESENT ALL OF THIS AND I THINK THAT OUR TEACHERS WILL BE REALLY EXCITED ONCE WE ACTUALLY CAN SHOW LIKE FOR US D EXAMPLES BECAUSE WHEN WE LAUNCHED THIS WE SHARED EXAMPLES FROM OTHER DISTRICTS AND IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF HARD TO LIKE GET ON BOARD WITH SOMETHING THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT IN ANOTHER DISTRICT EVEN IF THE OUTCOMES ARE GOOD. BUT WHAT WE FIND IN S F USD AND PEOPLE GET MUCH MORE ON BOARD IS SOMETHING WHEN IT'S LIKE A HOMEGROWN THING AND WE CAN SAY WELL WE'VE ADAPTED THIS YOU KNOW FOR OUR USE. SO NEXT STEPS MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE TO KIND OF ANALYZE ALL OF THESE INPUTS COMING IN AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW, HAVE REALLY THE STUDENTS BE THE SPOKESPEOPLE FOR THIS, HAVE THOSE TEACHERS DIGGING IN AND THEN BE ABLE TO SHARE BACK BECAUSE SOME OF THE TEACHERS THAT DIDN'T DIVE IN YOU KNOW, WE GET NEW THINGS
ALL THE TIME AND SO I REALLY DO UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM. >> THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN TAKE IN AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS AND RISKING KIND OF YOUR INSTRUCTIONAL TIME ON SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YET THAT HASN'T SHOWN PROVEN RESULTS AND SFI USD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT THEY WANTED TO DO BUT I THINK ALL OF THAT'S GOING TO SHIFT ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO SHARE MORE AROUND HOW IT'S GOING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, APPRECIATE ALL YOUR LEADERSHIP AND WORK. WE LOOK FORWARD TO PICKING THE CONVERSATION BACK UP SOON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND UM COLLEAGUES, AS WE MOVE TO ITEM G, I DO WANT TO JUST FRAME UP THESE NEXT FEW ITEMS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL RELATED TO EACH OTHER. UM, SO WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH ITEM G ONE FISCAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE UM AS WAS IN THE BACKGROUND ON BOARD DOCS, THIS UPDATE WILL SERVE AS A STUDY SESSION FOR US TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENROLLMENT BUDGET POSITION CONTROL AND STAFFING REDUCTIONS AND THIS DISCUSSION WILL HOPEFULLY PROVIDE KIND OF OUR OUR FIRST DEEP DIVE INTO
THIS CONVERSATION UM WHAT YOU SEE AS WELL UNDER ITEM G TWO IS AN EL CAP MID-YEAR REPORT. THIS WAS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM THAT AT THE REQUEST OF COMMISSIONER FISHER I PULLED UP TO BE A DISCUSSION ITEM IN PART TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BUT TO BE TO ALSO BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE A COMMITMENT THAT I HAVE MADE BOTH TO HER AND THIS BOARD AROUND INTRODUCING A STUDY SESSION FOR THE BUDGET THAT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED. IT WILL BE TAKING PLACE NEXT WEDNESDAY MAY MARCH DEFINITELY NOT MAY MARCH 4TH. UM AND SO THANK YOU TO STAFF WHO ARE HELPING TO PUT THAT TOGETHER AND SO OUR DISCUSSION ON THAT WILL BE LIMITED HOPEFULLY IF AT ALL. UM BUT I DID WANT TO JUST ELEVATE THAT TO RESPECT THE FACT THAT OUR CAP IS A SIGNIFICANT ITEM THAT UH THAT IS RELATED TO OUR BUDGET. THE SUBSEQUENT ACTION ITEMS THAT YOU SEE ARE ALL COMING STRATEGICALLY AFTER OUR DISCUSSION ITEM SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT ENROLLMENT BUDGET ETC. THAT LEADS INTO OUR ACTIONS. AND SO I JUST I WANTED TO FRAME
UP THESE NEXT FEW ITEMS SO THAT WE HAVE MINIMAL DISCUSSION AT THE TIME. WE SHOULD HAVE ALL THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR FISCAL OPERATIONAL HELP UPDATE DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, GREAT. WITH NOW YEAH OKAY. BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL RELATED TO BUDGET SO UM I WILL YES. COMMISSIONER FISHER YEAH I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT FRAMING PRESIDENT KIM AND I. I RECOGNIZE THE TENSION OF THE EL CAP REPORT. IT IS REQUIRED TO BE DONE THIS MONTH AND SO THANK YOU. AND I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS LIKE CHRISTINA WONG WHO'S COVERING THE EL CAP RIGHT NOW EVEN THOUGH IT'S YOU KNOW, ONE OF 20 OTHER JOBS THAT SHE'S WORKING UM, WHILE WE HIRE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR EL CAP JUST TO ME IT DIDN'T SIT RIGHT TO BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WHEN IT IS R L CAP STANDS FOR LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABLE PLAN RIGHT AND SO IF WE'RE GOING TO BE TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE WITH COMMUNITY I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND IT. ALTHOUGH I RECOGNIZE NOW'S NOT
THE TIME WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF OR THE YOU KNOW LIKE WE'RE WE'RE NOT IN A PLACE RIGHT NOW TO REALLY DO IT JUSTICE. SO SO I DO APPRECIATE BRINGING IT FORWARD AND LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A MORE ROBUST DISCUSSION LATER. >> WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF TO INTRODUCE THIS ITEM. I'M SORRY FOR A POINT OF CLARITY ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN OKAY PRESENTATION? WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS IT WAS GOING TO BE PART OF THE LARGER FISCAL UPDATE. RIGHT. AND BUT THAT WE AM I MISUNDERSTANDING? YEAH WELL IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION JUST A DISCUSSION THERE'S YEAH THERE'S NO ACTION FOR US BUT JUST IT DIDN'T YOU KNOW LIKE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT WAS GOING TO BE ROLLED INTO THE LARGER FISCAL CONVERSATION AND NOT A SEPARATE REVIEW OF THE IS THAT CORRECT? TO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECT. THAT IS THAT WAS OUR CONVERSATION FOR NEXT WEEK. FOR NEXT WEEK. RIGHT, RIGHT. AND THEN SO FOR TODAY FOR THE L CAP PRESENT. OH NO. IT LOOKS LIKE FOR FOR THE
PRESENTATION ARE WE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A PRESENTATION OR IS ARE YOU JUST GOING TO ACCEPT THE MID-YEAR REPORT? WELL THERE'S NO ACTION TO ACCEPT SO I WAS NOT ANTICIPATING THERE BEING A PRESENTATION ON EL CAP THAT THERE WAS JUST GOING TO BE AN ACKNOWLEDGED MET IN THIS MEETING THAT THAT WAS THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD AND SO IF THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE, YES. OKAY. >> THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. THE FIRST ONE IS THAT AN EL CAP MID-TERM REPORT HAS TO BE GIVEN TO THE BOARD IN A PUBLIC MEETING BEFORE FEBRUARY 28TH. I'M GOING TO LOOK TO GENERAL COUNCIL AT THIS POINT TO SEE IF OUR ITEM THAT'S BEEN LOADED INTO BOARD DOCS WILL MEET THAT REQUIREMENT OR IF YOU NEED A COUPLE OF MINUTES I APOLOGIZE GENERAL COUNCIL FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. >> THAT'S WHY IT WAS ORIGINALLY JUST IN IT WAS GIVEN TO US AT THE LAST MEETING.
IT WAS ACTUALLY SO THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED. WELL YOU CANCELED THAT MEETING FRIEND COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER IT WAS ON THE FEBRUARY. >> OH I SEE. OKAY. BUT IT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US, CORRECT? WELL IT'S BEEN IN THAT IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED AND PUBLISHED SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE MEETING ON FEBRUARY 28TH THE DEADLINE FOR OUR EL CAP MIDTERM. >> YOU WHETHER WE GIVE A SLIDE DECK PRESENTATION OR NOT I THAT PART I, I WILL WHATEVER MAKES EVERYONE HAPPY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING THAT DEADLINE IT'S MY OPINION THAT YOU'RE MEETING THE DEADLINE. >> WELL, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO GREAT. AND SO THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THAT I THINK WE RECENTLY HAD IN LEADERSHIP TEAM WAS I WAS SIMPLY BRINGING THIS ITEM UP OUT OF INFORMATIONAL JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT ITEM. THIS WAS A CONVERSATION AGAIN FROM COMMISSIONER FISHER AND I EXPLICITLY ASKED HER THAT WE NOT SPEND A TON OF TIME ON IT AND GO INTO A HUGE DISCUSSION OR PRESENTATION BUT JUST SIMPLY TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT WITH THE RECOGNITION THAT OUR CAP HAS TO BE PART OF OUR BUDGET CONVERSATION BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF OUR BUDGET.
SO IF THAT'S THE PART THAT DID NOT MAKE ITS WAY AROUND, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WELL AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND THINK STEPH FOR THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AROUND THE EL CAP REPORT LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK AND AND I THINK STEPH DID A GREAT JOB OF ANSWERING A LOT OF THOSE SO THANK YOU. SO OKAY SO INTERNALLY STEPH IT'S GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REGROUP A LITTLE BIT AND WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL HAVE THIS WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WILL DO NEXT WEEK AT THE BUDGET STUDY SESSION. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO FISCAL AND OPERATION HEALTH UPDATE WHERE WE WANT TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD THE THE ALL THE STEPS AND ALL THE THE NECESSARY STEPS FOR SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES THAT HAVE LED US TO DEVELOP THE UM THE STAFFING REDUCTION PLAN ALSO KNOWN AS THE PARTICULAR KINDS OF REDUCTIONS. SO I'M GOING TO HAND THIS OVER
TO OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTEND END OF BUSINESS SERVICES CHRIS BENITEZ AS WELL AS OUR CFO NERO JAYARAMAN AND OUR ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF H.R. AMY BAER. GOOD EVENING. >> SO WE ARE GOING TO START BY SORT OF HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE ANNUAL TASKS THE DISTRICTS COMPLETE EVERY FEBRUARY AND MARCH. THIS IS A COLLABORATION WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY BETWEEN H.R. AND THE BUSINESS SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND AND ANNUALLY DISTRICTS NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BALANCING THEIR ENROLLMENT AND THEIR STAFFING. SO TONIGHT IN CLOSED SESSION THE BOARD ALREADY APPROVED THE PROBATIONARY RELEASE OF 31 CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES AND THE RELEASE OF 297 TEMPORARY CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. LATER THIS EVENING WILL BE ASKING THE BOARD TO PROVIDE INITIAL LAYOFF NOTICES TO TEN CERTIFICATED AND 32 CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES. NEXT WEEK WE WILL NOTICE ALL CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATORS
THAT THEY MAY BE RELEASED OR REASSIGNED FOR THE 2627 SCHOOL YEAR. AND THEN IN MAY WE WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD IF ANY FINAL LAYOFF NOTICES ALSO KNOWN AS PEAKS NOTICES ARE REQUIRED BEFORE MAY 15TH. AND THAT WILL BE THE TIME IF THERE ARE ANY CIVIL SERVICE MANAGEMENT OR NON-MANAGEMENT REDUCTIONS THOSE WILL COME IN MAY AS WELL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THE MARCH 15TH IS THE BIG DEADLINE FOR HUMAN RESOURCES THE EDUCATION CODE REQUIRES US TO NOTIFY CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES. SO THAT'S OUR TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, ADMINISTRATORS, EDUCATORS BY MARCH 15TH IF THEY MAY BE RELEASED, REASSIGNED OR LAY ARE LAID OFF. SO THIS IS ONLY A PRELIMINARY NOTICE. A FINAL NO LAYOFF DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE BY MAY 15TH. UM, SAN FRANCISCO IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE IN THIS SITUATION AS WE ARE IN MANY SITUATIONS BUT WE HAVE CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
AS WELL AND THE MARCH 15TH DEADLINE DOES NOT APPLY TO CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE TO SAN FRANCISCO. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT OUR STAFF REDUCTION NOTICES ARE MUCH LOWER THAN LAST YEAR. OUR OUR PARKS OR OUR PARTICULAR KINDS OF SERVICE REDUCTIONS CONTAINS 42 OF EQUIVALENT FULL TIME EQUIVALENT 42 EMPLOYEES COMPARED TO THE 298 THAT WE ISSUED PRELIMINARY NOTICES FOR LAST YEAR. AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO CHRIS TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE REASONS WHY. BUT NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE INCREASED POSITION CONTROL. AND NUMBER TWO, WE STRATEGICALLY HIRED TEMPORARY STAFF ACROSS CREDENTIAL AREAS, YOU KNOW, IN ANTICIPATION OF A OF THIS SORT OF ACTION. SO CHRIS, I'M GOING TO LET YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE POSITION CONTROL SHORT POSITION CONTROL IN AND OF ITSELF IS JUST A HELPFUL TOOL TO CROSS-REFERENCE FOR H.R. ALL THE POSITIONS THAT ARE NEEDED AS WE GET ENROLLMENT
NUMBERS IN AND WE GET PRINCIPAL SELECTIONS IN AND VERY QUICKLY MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN IN THE PAST AND ACTUALLY CROSS-REFERENCE THOSE WITH HOW MANY FOLKS WE ACTUALLY HAVE. AND SO THIS ALLOWS US TO NOT OVER NOTICE AS MUCH AS WE'VE HAD TO IN THE PAST WE CAN BE MUCH MORE EXCUSE ME REAL TIME ACCURATE IN FINDING EVERY POSITION THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS AND QUICKLY CROSS-REFERENCING IT WITH EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL REQUEST AND EVERY SINGLE CENTRAL OFFICE REQUEST AND GET A MUCH MORE TARGETED POTENTIAL PEAKS RATHER THAN A MUCH BROADER ONE. AND IF WE COULD MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND CHRIS, THIS WILL BE YOUR SLIDE AS WELL. SO THE THE STEPS TO DO THAT IS WHAT I WAS JUST OUTLINING IS USING PROJECTED ENROLLMENT WHICH IN THIS DISTRICT IT'S IT'S HELPFUL BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF THOSE ASSIGNMENTS DONE BY THIS TIME IN THE YEAR AND WE GIVE STUDENTS SITES THEIR ALLOCATIONS CENTRAL ALLOCATIONS AS WELL AS SELECTED ALLOCATIONS
. EACH OF THE SITES EXCUSE ME SHOULD PROBABLY WATER WITH ME. MY BIG MUG GOT LEFT UPSTAIRS AND THEN CROSS-REFERENCING THAT WITH EVERYBODY'S BUDGET AND THEN CROSS-REFERENCING IT WITH POSITION CONTROLS. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF THERE'S 40 OF A PARTICULAR KIND OF POSITION NEEDED, DO WE HAVE THOSE 40? ARE THEY AT THE RIGHT SITES? HOW MANY OF THEM ARE FILLED? HOW MANY OF THEM ARE LEFT TO BE FILLED AND VERY QUICKLY THAT ALLOWS US TO CROSS-REFERENCE WITH H.R. WHAT THE DELTA IS RIGHT. SO DO WE HAVE HAVE TO HIRE FIVE MORE OF THAT THING OR DO WE HAVE THREE MORE PEOPLE ALREADY IN THOSE POSITIONS THAN WE ACTUALLY NEED NEXT YEAR. SO WE'VE GOTTEN MUCH BETTER THIS YEAR AT DOING THAT AND DOING IT IN A QUICK AND ACCURATE MANNER. SO HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF LAYOFFS ANNUALLY? WE NEED TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF CLASSES THAT WE'LL NEED BASED ON ENROLLMENT AND THAT WILL INFORM HOW MANY TEACHERS WE NEED. >> WE THEN HAVE TO CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS WHO ARE RETURNING FROM LEAVE. WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TEACHERS THAT TAKE LEAVE FOR ARE ALL IN PLAYGROUPS THAT TAKE LEAVE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.
AND SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE ON LEAVE THEIR POSITION NEEDS TO BE BACKFILLED WITH A TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE BECAUSE THEY'RE ENTITLED TO COME BACK TO THAT POSITION. SO PART OF THE NOTICING THAT YOU'LL SEE TONIGHT IS ABOUT PEOPLE RETURNING FROM LEAVES AND WE WILL WE'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT AS WE GET THERE. NEXT SLIDE. SO UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE ASKING FOR SOME LIMITED REDUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATED STAFF. WE ARE REQUESTING TO ISSUE PRELIMINARY LAYOFF NOTICES TO TEN TOTAL CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES TO SINGLE SUBJECT ART, TO SINGLE SUBJECT MUSIC AND SIX COUNSELORS. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR FROM SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT I WANT TO CLEAR THIS UP WE ARE NOT REDUCING ALLOCATIONS IN ARTS, MUSIC OR COUNSELING. THESE NOTICES ARE REQUIRED REQUESTED TO ACCOMMODATE REDUCTIONS DUE TO ENROLLMENT, PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES OR EMPLOYEES RETURNING FROM LEAVES IN THESE AREAS SPECIFICALLY THE ART AND MUSIC ARE BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO EMPLOYEES IN EACH OF
THOSE CREDENTIAL AREAS ON LEAVE THAT WILL BUMP PEOPLE THAT ARE FILLING THEIR POSITIONS RIGHT NOW. SO AND THIS NUMBER OF TEN FOR A DISTRICT OF OUR SIZE IS IS VERY, VERY SMALL. SO MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE ,THIS IS CLASSIFIED REDUCTIONS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT EIGHT A SERIES PARA EDUCATORS THESE ARE PARA EDUCATORS THAT PROVIDE CLASSROOM SUPPORT TO C SERIES PARA EDUCATORS THAT WORK WITH CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. SIX ARE SERIOUS PARA EDUCATORS. THEY PROVIDE COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND ONE I'M SORRY 16 T SERIES PARA EDUCATORS THAT PROVIDE STUDENT SUPPORT AND BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT. SO A TOTAL OF 32 EMPLOYEES ON THE CLASSIFIED SIDE. AS A REMINDER THESE WOULD JUST BE PRELIMINARY NOTICES AND THE BOARD WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION BY MAY 15TH IF WE WERE GOING TO ISSUE A FINAL NOTICE, WOULD YOU JUST HELP FOLKS UNDERSTAND PRELIMINARY NOTICES OR WHAT MAY HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW? YEAH, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO GO ON TO THAT.
YEAH. I'M SORRY. THAT'S A AND SO WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED TONIGHT? ALL CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATORS AS I REFERENCED EARLIER WILL RECEIVE A NOTICE OF RELEASE OR REASSIGNMENT AND MANAGEMENT AND NON-MANAGEMENT CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS CAN BE REDUCED WITH A 60 DAY NOTICE. SO WE STILL OUR PLANNING DISTRICT OFFICE REDUCTIONS IN THESE BOTH OF THESE EMPLOYEE GROUPS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CASE TONIGHT. AND SO THE NEXT SLIDE WE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CERTIFICATED LAYOFFS PROCESS. SO IF THE BOARD TAKES ACTION TONIGHT TO REDUCE THESE PARTICULAR KINDS OF SERVICES BY CREDENTIAL AREA AS I SPELLED OUT ARTS TO OUR TO MUSIC SIX COUNSELOR THESE WOULD BE REDUCTIONS IN POSITIONS NOT PEOPLE AT THIS POINT IF YOU TAKE ACTION THEN H.R. STAFF WOULD DETERMINE WHO ACTUALLY DOES GET NOTICED. UM WE WOULD FIRST PROCESS RESIGNATIONS AND WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T ACCOUNTED FOR ANY RESIGNATIONS OR RETIREMENTS YET FOR NEXT YEAR. SO AS SOON AS SOMEONE RESIGNS THAT'S ONE LESS PERSON TO TO
ISSUE A LAYOFF NOTICE TO IT NOTICES ARE ISSUED BY SENIORITY WE HAVE A SENIORITY LIST THAT WE UPDATE ANNUALLY. IT WOULD AGAIN BE A PRELIMINARY NOTICE AND THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD IF WE WERE TO ISSUE A FINAL NOTICE PRIOR TO MAY 15TH . UM AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SPECIFIC TO CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES IS SKIPPING AND AND TIEBREAKER CRITERIA. UM WE WOULD ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO BE SKIPPED IF THEY HAVE SPECIAL EDUCATION MATH IS LISTED THERE TWICE WE REALLY CAN WE REALLY WE REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE MATH MATH IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF THEY HAVE A BACKLOG CREDENTIAL WHICH IS A BILINGUAL CREDENTIAL OR CHECK AUTHORIZATION. SO IF IF THE FIRST ART TEACHER ON THE LIST ALSO HAD A B CLOUD OR MATH OR CHEEK, THAT PERSON WOULD BE SKIPPED AND WE WOULD GO TO THE NEXT EMPLOYEE TIEBREAKER DETERMINES WHO'S THE MOST SENIOR WHEN THEY'RE HIRED ON THE SAME DAY WHICH IS VERY COMMON FOR EDUCATORS BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME START DATE EVERY YEAR, RIGHT? SO EVERYBODY'S FIRST DAY IS
AUGUST 18TH OR WHATEVER YEAR WE WOULD THEN LOOK TO SEE WHO HAS MULTIPLE CREDENTIALS OR WHO HAS BILINGUAL CREDENTIALS OR IF THEY'VE RECENTLY BEEN PLACED IN SPECIAL EDUCATION OR IN A HIGH POTENTIAL SCHOOL. AND THIS CRITERIA IS DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR LABOR PARTNERS UCSF MOVING ON TO THE CLASSIFIED LAYOFFS PROCESS VERY SIMILAR INSTEAD OF BY CREDENTIAL AREA WE WOULD TAKE ACTION TO REDUCE BY JOB CLASSIFICATION AND THESE AGAIN TONIGHT ARE REDUCTIONS IN POSITIONS NOT PEOPLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE H.R. DETERMINING WHO WOULD ACTUALLY GET A NOTICE AND AGAIN THAT'S BY JOB CLASSIFICATION WE WOULD PROCESS LEAVES RESIGNATIONS, RETIREMENTS AND NOTICES ARE ISSUED BY SENIORITY. AGAIN PRELIMINARY NOTICE AND I WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO YOU BEFORE MAY 15TH TO REQUEST A FINAL NOTICE. SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE FROM THE EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE? WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GIVE A
LAYOFF NOTICE A PRELIMINARY LAYOFF NOTICE PRIOR TO MARCH 15TH AGAIN BASED ON SENIORITY WITH ALL EMPLOYEES WOULD GET A LETTER THAT OUTLINES THE LEGAL PROCESS FOR LAYOFFS. THEY WOULD WORK WITH THEIR UNIONS AND LIKELY REQUEST A HEARING THAT'S WE WENT THROUGH THE HEARING PROCESS LAST YEAR WHEN WE ISSUED NOTICES WE WOULD HAVE A HEARING BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD DONE THIS PROPERLY. THE PEOPLE WERE NOTICE PROPERLY THAT WE HAD A VALID SENIORITY LIST AS ANY ATTRITION IS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IF PEOPLE RESIGN, IF THEY RETIRE, IF THEY TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE WE CAN REVOKE THOSE PRELIMINARY NOTICES AND SO WE WOULD DO THAT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE OR FUNDING IS CONFIRMED AND THE PRINCIPAL DECIDES HEY, I HAVE FUNDING, I WANT TO HIRE A TI TEN OR ANOTHER EMPLOYEE ON THAT LIST WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RESCIND A NOTICE. H.R. WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. WE WOULD WORK WITH OUR EMPLOYEE UNIONS USSF IN THIS CASE TO ENSURE THAT THEY KNEW WHO WAS
ON THE LIST AND COULD SUPPORT THOSE EMPLOYEES AS WELL. AND AGAIN, IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS A FINAL NOTICE, I WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO MAY 15TH AND EVEN AT THAT POINT AFTER A FINAL NOTICES IS ISSUED IF THERE'S A RESIGNATION THAT THAT NOTICE CAN STILL BE RESCINDED AND IF SOMEONE IS ULTIMATELY LAID OFF THEY REMAIN ON A REHIRE LIST AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO REACH OUT TO THEM BEFORE WE HIRE NEW EMPLOYEES IN THOSE CATEGORIES. SO THAT IS A LOT OF INFORMATION BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS UH QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS. MR. FISHER OH MY GOD, RAY I, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. >> IT'S ACTUALLY A FOLLOW UP ON WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY QUESTIONS WHICH WAS SOMETHING I HAD WONDERED ABOUT TOO ABOUT THE ART AND MUSIC TEACHERS I I'M ACTUALLY I'M CONFUSED. I SEE HERE THAT IT SAYS REDUCTIONS OF TWO POSITIONS IN ART AND TWO POSITIONS IN MUSIC. I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT WE'RE NOT REDUCING ALLOCATIONS IN THOSE AREAS ARE WE OUR LIKE OUR ACTUAL POSITIONS FOR
INSTANCE I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED A BAND TEACHER AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS AS OPPOSED TO LIKE YOU KNOW THE ORCHESTRA TEACHER CAN'T DO BOTH ORCHESTRA AND BAND LIKE IS THE POSITION GOING AWAY OR IS SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY VOTING ON. THANKS. OKAY. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. NO WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY CLOSING ANY POSITIONS. >> THESE ARE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN FROM LEAVE AND THEY DON'T HAVE POSITIONS TO BUMP BACK TO AND THAT IS WHY THERE'S A RECOMMENDED ACTION HERE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE POSITIONS FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES RETURNING FROM LEAVE AT THIS TIME. OKAY. SO IT'S IT'S NOT A REDUCTION IN THE MUSIC AND ART POSITIONS EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS TO SAY IT'S ACTUALLY A REDUCTION IN THAT WAS VERY CONFUSING TO ME BUT IF I MENTIONED IT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A REDUCTION IN POSITIONS EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS THAT IT'S A REDUCTION IN THOSE TWO CREDENTIAL AREAS BECAUSE WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE THE TWO PEOPLE RETURNING FROM LEAVE. SO IT'S YEAH, I DON'T KNOW I'M NOT EXPLAINING I JUST YEAH, GO
AHEAD. >> OKAY. SO IT'S A REDUCTION IN YOUR LIST OF STAFF, CORRECT. SO SO SO IN THIS CASE THE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FILLED FOR LEAVE WITH CERTIFICATED TEACHERS BUT THE PEOPLE COMING BACK HAVE SENIORITY RIGHTS TO COME BACK INTO THOSE POSITIONS AND SO WE HAVE TO NOTIFY THE PEOPLE IN THOSE SPOTS RIGHT NOW THAT THAT MIGHT RESULT IN THEIR LAYOFF UNLESS SOMETHING ELSE OPENS BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD. OKAY. I THINK AND AND I WILL BECAUSE I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE THE CONFUSION. I WAS SIMILARLY CONFUSED BUT IN THIS CASE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE NOT NECESSARILY THAT POSITION ITSELF THAT'S CLOSING, CORRECT? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE BUT WHO WILL GET NOTICED DEPENDS ON THE NAUGHTY LIST. RIGHT. SO YES THERE THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE THAT WILL RECEIVE A NOTICE HERE RIGHT. CAN I ASK ONE? I THINK I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS LATER BUT I DO JUST I'VE HEARD THIS A LOT FROM FROM STAFF. WE ARE NOT OFFERING A SERP THIS YEAR CORRECT.
RIGHT. HOW ARE WE MESSAGING THAT OUT TO STAFF WHO MIGHT BE CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO BE RETIRING? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN GETTING THAT QUESTION A LOT FROM FOLKS WHO ARE CONSIDERING IT, CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO RETIRE THIS YEAR OR HANG AROUND FOR A FEW MORE YEARS. >> I THINK LAST YEAR WHEN WE OFFERED THE SERVE WE TRIED TO PROMOTE THAT THIS WAS REALLY AN UNUSUAL EVENT AND THAT WE WERE NOT PLANNING TO OFFER AN ANNUAL SERVE. YOU KNOW WE DID HAVE PRETTY HIGH PARTICIPATION BECAUSE OF THAT. SO YOU KNOW IF PEOPLE ARE CONSIDERING RETIREMENT WE CAN CONNECT TO THEM WITH SIEFERS OR STIRRERS OR WHOEVER THEIR RETIREMENT PROVIDER IS AND THEY CAN SCHEDULE A TIME TO MEET WITH THEM TO DETERMINE IF THEY IF IT MAKES SENSE FINANCIALLY FOR THEM TO RETIRE. BUT THE DISTRICT WON'T BE OFFERING AN INCENTIVE. WE SHOULD SORRY. I JUST I WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON MY QUESTION BECAUSE ON OTHER SLIDES IT ALSO SAYS REDUCTIONS IN POSITIONS NOT PEOPLE I THINK
ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC LOOKING AT THIS LIKE THERE'S NO REASON FOR FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE TELLING US OR THINKING THAT FOR POSITIONS ARE BEING REDUCED TO AN HOUR TOO IN MUSIC ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT IDEA IS REITERATED IN THE PRESENTATION, IS THERE SOME WAY TO ADD SOME KIND OF NOTE OR ANNOTATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO EXPLAIN TO EXPLAIN THAT? SO MY POINT IN SAYING AT THIS POINT WHEN THE BOARD TAKES ACTION YOU'RE NOT TAKING ACTION ON A PARTICULAR EMPLOYEE. YOU ARE TAKING ACTION TO REDUCE POSITIONS AND IF YOU APPROVE THAT ACTION THEN H.R. WILL DETERMINE WHO WILL GET THE NOTICE. SO AN EMPLOYEE WILL BE NOTICED FOR EVERY REDUCTION BUT THAT'S NOT THE ACTION THAT'S BEING CONSIDERED TONIGHT. WE'RE NOT BRINGING NAMES OF PEOPLE AND SCHOOL POSITIONS TO CONSIDER. ONCE YOU TAKE ACTION THEN H.R. HAS TO GO THROUGH THE SENIORITY
PROCESS AND DETERMINE WHO WOULD BE THE PERSON TO GET NOTICED. I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I DON'T WANT TO PRESS THIS TOO MUCH FURTHER BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE NOT TAKING ACTION ON PARTICULAR PEOPLE TONIGHT. WHAT I DID UNDERSTAND FROM THIS IS THAT WE WERE TAKING ACTION ON POSITIONS AND THAT IS ALSO WHAT SAID. SO IT DOES LOOK LIKE BASED ON WHAT'S IN HERE THAT FOUR POSITIONS ARE BEING REDUCED IN ART AND MUSIC LIKE FOR ART AND MUSIC POSITIONS ARE BEING LOST AS OPPOSED TO SOME NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE THE POSITIONS WILL BE CAPPED BUT THE SOMEONE WE BUMPED I'M JUST SAYING I THINK THIS IS I STILL FIND THIS CONFUSING. I THINK FOLKS WILL TOO. I THINK IT'S JUST A MIS COMMUNICATION AROUND THE TECHNICAL TERMS OF ART AND WHAT H.R. AND BUSINESS MEAN WHEN THEY SAY POSITION AND WHAT LAYPEOPLE MIGHT THINK OF AS A POSITION WHERE THEY THINK OF A POSITION CLOSING AND THEY THINK THAT THAT ROLE AT A SCHOOL IS GOING AWAY AS OPPOSED TO LIKE IT'S A
SEAT THAT A PERSON MAY SIT IN AND A REQUISITION FOR EXAMPLE. AND SO I THINK IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY IT'S IN THE FUTURE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF SOME OF THE TERMS OF ART WERE EXPLAINED FOR A LAY AUDIENCE AND BOARD POSITIONS TO JUST REASSURE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DO OFTEN HEAR CONCERN FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AT PUBLIC COMMENT AND IN OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY JUST MISUNDERSTAND THESE TERMS OF ART AND ARE AFRAID OF AND CONCERNED ABOUT THINGS THAT THEY THINK THAT ARE HAPPENING THAT ARE NOT HAPPENING. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO BASICALLY COMMUNICATE AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID UNNECESSARY FEAR AND CONCERN IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT CUTS THAT ARE NOT BEING MADE. >> I MAY REGRET SAYING THIS BECAUSE IT MIGHT MAKE IT MORE COMPLICATED BUT LET'S TAKE AN EXAMPLE IF IF ONE OF THE ART TEACHERS WAS FROM A PARTICULAR MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE PERSON WHO WOULD GET THE NOTICE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT MIDDLE SCHOOLS ART PROGRAM IS
GOING AWAY. THAT MEANS THAT THAT'S THE LEAST SENIOR EMPLOYEE WITH THAT CREDENTIAL AND IT WOULD OPEN UP A WHOLE CONSOLIDATION PROCESS WHERE WE WOULD BALANCE OUR OUR EXISTING EMPLOYEES ACROSS SITES SO SO THIS REDUCTION WOULD THEN LEAD TO CONSOLIDATION WHERE PEOPLE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE ASSIGNED TO SITES IF THEY'RE NOT THE LEAST SENIOR PERSON. OKAY, COMMISSIONER. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK SO. I THINK IT HELPS IF YOU FRAME IT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF POSITION CONTROL, RIGHT. RATHER THAN ACTUAL LIKE LIKE JOB FUNCTIONS AT SCHOOL SITES OR BUILDINGS. RIGHT. I THINK WHICH IS STILL VERY CONFUSING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUDING MYSELF. BUT MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS WHEN WE THAT'S THE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ARTS MUSIC COUNSELORS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR CERTIFICATED STAFF WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE THE PARAS, THE T TENDS THAT YOU KNOW, THE OUR TENDS THAT WE SAW IS THAT ALSO THE SAME IS THAT POSITION CONTROL LIKE DO WE REALLY HAVE
THAT SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE OUT ON LEAVE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BUMP OR IS THAT WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY CLOSING THOSE ROLES BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING CONSISTENT WHEN WE TALK ACROSS CERTIFICATED VERSUS CLASSIFIED AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT FOR BOTH RIGHT? SO IT'S POSITION CONTROL IS THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT RIGHT IF THE IF THE DEMAND OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE HAVE AND OF ALL THE SITES MAKING THE REQUESTS IS 20 AND WE HAVE 24 PEOPLE AND 20 POSITIONS AND YOU HAVE A NET FOR WHETHER THEY'RE BUMPING IN FROM LEAVE OR ANOTHER REASON AND IT'S GOING TO BE CAUSE BUMPING AROUND BUT THERE'S STILL 20 POSITIONS BEING REQUESTED AND FELT RIGHT AND IN THIS CASE IT'S THE SAME THING WE IN THE IN THE CASE OF THE PARAS THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE IN SOME OF THOSE THAN THERE ARE POSITIONS RIGHT NOW BEING REQUEST. YEAH AND I THINK JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR BUDGET STUDY SESSION, WHAT I'M HOPING TO UNDERSTAND IN OUR BUDGET STUDY SESSION NEXT WEEK
IS IS WHY YOU KNOW, TO GET INTO THE ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, THE FUNDING FROM THE STATE, THE LOCAL FUNDING LIKE TO TO PULL TOGETHER SOME OF OUR FUNDS YOU KNOW OUR RESERVES ALL THIS TOO AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS REALISTIC WITHIN A WEEK BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT LIKE MY EXPECTATION IS IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A REDUCTION IN PEOPLE POSITIONS, ROLES, HOWEVER WE WANT TO FIND IT AS A BOARD LIKE WE REALLY OWE OUR COMMUNITY AN EXPLANATION OF WHY AND THAT YOU KNOW AND ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE $183 MILLION, YOU KNOW, PACKAGE THAT WE JUST OFFERED. RIGHT? SO I THAT'S FOR ME WHAT I AM HOPING I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST OF THE BOARD IS ALIGNED WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT A BUDGET STUDY SESSION WOULD BE YOU KNOW FOR NEXT WEEK BUT YEAH MAYBE PART OF THIS TIME SHOULD BE CLARITY ON WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE NEXT WEEK. BUT FOR ME IT'S IT'S REALLY MORE OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF OF IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REDUCTIONS IN THESE POSITIONS WHY ESPECIALLY WHEN LIKE FOR
EXAMPLE THE T TENS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT GOAL THREE AND I THINK COMMIT VICE PRESIDENT HULING YOU WERE MAKING THE SAME POINT TOO. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT EARLY WARNING INDICATORS AND THE COORDINATED TEAM THAT'S REQUIRED AND WE KNOW THAT YOU KNOW OUR TETONS IN PARTICULAR ARE A BIG PART OF MAKING SURE THAT OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS AREN'T WANDERING THE HALLS. THEY'RE ACTUALLY THERE. THEIR BUTTS ARE IN THOSE SEATS AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING IN THEIR EDUCATION. RIGHT? AND SO WHEN WE SEE THAT THAT'S PART OF INTERIM GOAL 3.1 THAT IMPACTS AND IT IMPACTS GOAL THREE AND YET WE'RE TURNING AROUND AND POTENTIALLY REDUCING THOSE STAFF HERE. THAT'S A COGNITIVE DISCONNECT FOR ME AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW LIKE HOW WE'RE PROTECTING IT, WHAT WE'RE DOING TO MITIGATE IT. SO THAT'S THAT'S I THINK FOR ME THE DISCONNECT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S HELPFUL. IS THAT CLEAR AS MUD NGL NOT SURE IF I MADE THINGS WORSE OR BETTER. MICHELLE ALEXANDER NGL I RAISE MY HAND I'M SO THERE'S A BAD
USAGE I KNOW I LOVE I LOVE IT'S LIKE THE IT'S LIKE SORT OF A VERSION OF DAD JOKES IS MISUSING THE TEENAGE I LOVE I LOVE THAT STUFF SO I THINK WHAT PART OF IT'S CONFUSING IS IF WE GO BACK TO SLIDE FIVE SO SLIDE FIVE DESCRIBES THE STEPS RIGHT SO IT'S PROJECTED ENROLLMENT THEN BUDGETING THEN POSITION CONTROL THEN SO THE THE THING THAT WE'VE SORT OF LEFT OUT OF THIS CONVERSATION WAS I THINK COMMISSIONER FISHER IS GETTING AT IS THE BUDGETING PROCESS RIGHT SO WHICH STARTED IN A CONFUSING FASHION BACK IN NOVEMBER DECEMBER THE BOARD VOTED NO ON THE ON THE REDUCTIONS ON IN THE FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN BUT THEN A STAFFING MODEL WENT OUT THAT SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS SIMILAR TO THAT AND THEN IT WAS CHANGED. AND SO I THINK THERE'S ALL THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WERE THE BUDGETS THAT THEN SCHOOLS WERE WORKING WITH AND I KNOW CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE NOW BECAUSE OF APPEALS. SO WHEN WE SAY THE SCHOOL DIDN'T YOU KNOW LIKE I LIKE W.C. BRENNAN'S EXAMPLE OF 20 POSITIONS THE SCHOOLS ARE REQUESTING 20 POSITIONS.
WE HAVE 24 EMPLOYEES. WE HAVE ABOUT 20 POSITIONS. WE SAID YOU CAN ONLY REQUEST 20 POSITIONS. RIGHT. AND WE MAY HAVE SAID TO THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS NOW TO HAVE A MUSIC TEACHER. SO I DON'T KNOW BUT BUT IT'S THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WHAT WE'VE ALLOWED TO BE BUDGETED AND THEN THE LAYOFFS. RIGHT. IT'S NOT SO I UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT A 1 TO 1 RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE DO THE BUDGETS AND THEN WE COME BACK LOOK AT THOSE POSITIONS RIGHT? SO SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S CONFUSING. BUT I THINK THE PIECE THAT IS MISSING FOR ME AS WELL IS THE DO WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS QUESTION WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED TOO SATISFACTORILY TO ME. I MEAN I'LL BE ASKING A BROKEN RECORD QUESTION WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, UNDERESTIMATING REVENUES BY $80 MILLION A YEAR. SO DO WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS OR IF WE'RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER $80 MILLION WE DON'T NEED TO LAYOFF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE. WE CAN HAVE DANCE AND MUSIC AND COUNSELORS AND TEACH HANDS . SO I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I'M SITTING. IT'S KIND OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE TIMING IS HARD BUT I DON'T FEEL READY TO APPROVE THOSE
WITHOUT HAVING HAD THAT CONVERSATION FIRST. SO AGAIN BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE STAFF'S WORK TO REDUCE THEM BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN AND I THINK I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT I MEAN THIS LAST YEAR WE APPROVED 300 OF THEM BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE DOING SO RIGHT. SO I DON'T WANT TO DISPUTE I DON'T WANT TO QUESTION THE ACCURACY OF THIS BUT I WANT TO SAY FROM A BIGGER PICTURE LEVEL I FEEL LIKE I NEED MORE INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHY? JUST TO BE CLEAR THOUGH, WE'RE NOT LAYING ANYBODY OFF. WE'RE ISSUING PRELIMINARY NOTICES AND ANY LAYOFF DECISIONS WILL BE MADE LATER WHEN WE DO HAVE THAT ANSWER ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE MORE CLARITY FROM THE STATE ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY WE ACTUALLY HAVE AND MORE CLARITY ABOUT HOW MANY STUDENTS ACTUALLY ENROLL. YEAH AND THIS DOES HAPPEN IN EVERY DISTRICT BUT I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT IT LEADS TO THIS SORT OF DOOM LOOP CYCLE WHERE WE TEACHERS GET THESE NOTICES.
PEREZ GET THESE NOTICES. THEY LOOK FOR OTHER JOBS, THEY LEAVE AND WE'VE HAD EVERY YEAR WE'VE WE'VE ISSUED THESE AND THEN WE'VE HAD ALL THESE VACANT POSITIONS WHEN SCHOOL STARTS. SO I MEAN THAT'S MY CONCERN IS THAT ON A TECHNICAL LEVEL YET WE CAN DO IT AND I'VE BEEN VOTING FOR THEM FOR YEARS MY CONCERN IS IF WE'RE GOING GET ANOTHER $80 MILLION WE KNOW THAT'S VERY LIKELY. WHY WOULD WE DO THAT AND THEN CAUSE ATTRITION THAT THEN WEAKENS OUR SCHOOLS SO A I, I THINK THIS IN PART COMES DOWN TO NOT IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT THAT IS DRIVING OUR BUDGET THAT THEN DRIVES OUR POSITION CONTROL IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT THROUGH LINE. HERE IS WHAT I'M HEARING YEAH THAT'S FOR ME IS I I AND AGAIN I RESPECT OF OTHER BOARD MEMBERS ARE IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T YET BEEN CONVINCED OF STEPS ONE AND TWO ON THAT SLIDE SO THEN IT MAKES ME REALLY RELUCTANT AND AGAIN THIS IS PARTLY MY PTSD OF HAVING DONE THIS FOR YEARS AND I AND I SO THAT'S I'LL JUST NAME THAT
AND I THINK WELL SO TWO THINGS THAT I THINK ARE WORTH ACKNOWLEDGING. ONE THERE IS A TIMELINE ISSUE HERE THAT IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL . UNFORTUNATELY WE NEED TO MAKE THIS DECISION NOW BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A CONCRETE PICTURE OF OUR BUDGET A BUDGET THAT IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR PROJECTED ENROLLMENT. SO SO I THINK WE JUST NEED TO SAY THAT PART OUT LOUD OF WE ARE FORCED TO DO THIS IN PART BY THE STATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER TIMELINE TO DO THIS UNDER. SO THAT'S ONE POINT OF FRUSTRATION. THE SECOND POINT BEING UM I MEAN ON THE OTHER END OF THIS THERE HAVE BEEN YEARS WHERE WE HAVE APPROVED LAYOFF LISTS OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE STEP FOUR STEP THREE POSITION CONTROL RIGHT? AND SO I DO THINK IT'S WORTH ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT IS ACTUALLY QUITE INCREDIBLE THAT WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE WE'RE ONLY LAYING OFF OR ISSUING NOTICES FOR 40 PEOPLE PCAST LISTS THAT HAVE 40 NAMES NOT
EVEN NAMES POSITIONS IDENTIFIED SORRY EVEN I NEED TO CONTINUE TO CORRECT MYSELF ON THIS. I THINK THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE WERE ISSUING HUNDREDS AND SO SO I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS LIKE TENSION HERE OF OF WE ARE WE ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE TODAY AT LEAST BASED ON THE SHEER NUMBER OF POSITIONS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. WE'RE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE POSITION CONTROL OR AT LEAST BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR POSITION CONTROL AND THANK YOU. I SEE YOU NODDING IN THE BACK YOUR GREAT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE MANAGER YES SO I, I THINK MY FRUSTRATION LIES WITH HOLDING THAT IN ONE HAND WITH THE FORCED TIMELINE AND THE OTHER AND AND THAT THAT TENSION IS REAL AND SO I MEAN A COUPLE OF THINGS. I MEAN IN THE SPIRIT OF OF SHARING WHAT WE ARE ALL HOPING TO GET TO IN TERMS OF CLARITY TO GET TO BUILD CONFIDENCE IN THIS WHATEVER AND ULTIMATELY BECOMING THE NOTICES THAT WE GIVE OUT IS IS THE NUMBERS WILL
BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WELL AS SOON AS WE HAVE THEM UNDER LIKE AS SOON AS WE HAVE THEM RIGHT BECAUSE THAT WILL ULTIMATELY DRIVE EVERY OTHER DECISION THAT'S MADE AROUND ALL OF THIS. AND SO SO DOES THAT CAPTURE OKAY. AND I WILL JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS WHY THIS STUDY SESSION IS SO IMPORTANT. THIS IS WHY THIS CONVERSATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE NEXT SERIES OF ITEMS ARE MORE JUST A VOTING UP AND DOWN. BUT BUT THE REASON WHY ARE OUR STEPPING MODEL WAS CREATED THE WAY IT WAS CREATED WAS BASED PURELY ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE PROJECT TO HAVE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND WE KEEP EVERYTHING ALL DAY REFINING THE PROJECTIONS FOR HOW MANY STUDENTS WE WILL HAVE AND NOW WE ACTUALLY HAVE EVEN A MORE REFINED PROJECTION BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAVE ENROLLMENT DATA. SO WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF FAMILIES WHO SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS TO US AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT THOSE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS AND AND SO SO NOW WE CAN ADJUST
THE STAFFING MODEL AND YOU'RE RIGHT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE SAYING THAT CERTAIN SCHOOLS CANNOT HAVE AS MANY POSITIONS BECAUSE WE'RE PROJECT A A SHRINKING OF THOSE SCHOOLS AND PERHAPS WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN IN NEXT WEEK'S BUDGETS BUDGET STUDY SESSION IS TO SHARE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE NEXT WEEK. NO NOT NEXT WEEK. YEAH. NEXT WE WANT TO SHARE WHERE OUR PROJECTIONS FOR STUDENT ENROLLMENT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND THAT WOULD HELP. HOWEVER, WE ARE UNFORTUNATELY AT A VERY SENSITIVE TIME BOUND DEADLINE WHERE WE ARE ASKING FOR THE BOARD TO AUTHORIZE THIS PEAKS LIST SO THAT WE CAN THEN MOVE FORWARD INTO THE NEXT STEP . IT IS PAST TEN SO I'M GOING TO REQUEST THAT WE AUTHORIZE TO EXTEND PAST 10:00 SORRY SO MOVED SECOND IT CAN WE GET A QUICK ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS MR. TRUJILLO FISHER AND AND UM SECOND IT COMMISSIONER RAY YES .
COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER YES. VICE PRESIDENT HULING YES. PRESIDENT KIM YES. COMMISSIONER WISEMAN WARD YES. COMMISSIONER GUPTA YES. COMMISSIONER FOR SURE. YES. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER VICE PRESIDENT HULING AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE BEFORE YOU DO SECOND, I THINK IT REALLY APPRECIATE THE CLARITY AROUND THAT OUR PROGRAMING AND MUSIC PROGRAMING IS NOT BEING CUT. DO WE KNOW IF THAT IS THE PROJECTION FOR OUR COUNSELOR POPULATION AS WELL OR LIKE THAT THERE ARE FOLKS RETURNING FROM LEAVE FOR EXAMPLE OR DO WE EXPECT THAT THE POSITIONS FOR COUNSELORS WILL ACTUALLY RESULT IN A LOWER NUMBER OF COUNSELORS EMPLOYED BY THE DISTRICT NEXT YEAR? SO WE WANT TO MAKE A THANK YOU BOARD VICE PRESIDENT. THERE'S A DISTINCTION HERE. THERE'S THE CLASSIFICATION KNOWN AS HEAD COUNSELOR THAT IS I WANT TO BE CLEAR THIS IS THIS
THAT ROW IS WITH RESPECT TO HEAD COUNSELORS THERE'S A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION ON AS THAT IS JUST COUNSELOR. SO WHEN WE ALLOCATE POSITIONS THE SCHOOL SITES IT'S UNDER THE COUNSELOR CLASSIFICATION WHICH IS O 923. THIS PARTICULAR ROW IS WITH RESPECT TO THE HEAD COUNSELOR WHICH IS A DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION AND SO IN THAT CASE IT IS EMPLOYEES RETURNING FROM LEAVE AND AND YOU KNOW IF THERE ARE RETIRED MINTZ OR SEPARATIONS IN THE COUNSELOR CLASSIFICATION THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THAT CLASSIFICATION ALSO SO HYPOTHETICALLY THERE COULD BE A MATCH MAKING THAT GOES ON ONCE WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON WHO'S ACTUALLY RETIRING OR SEPARATING OR LEAVING THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU. AND THEN I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLASSIFIED REDUCTIONS, DO WE EXPECT THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE 32 FEWER CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES IN THESE POSITIONS OR SOME NUMBER FEWER THAN THAT JUST IF SO, SOME OF THESE POSITIONS AND IT'S A MIX. THANK YOU.
SO SOME OF THESE POSITIONS ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF SCHOOL SITES. THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE STAFFING ALLOCATION THAT GOES TO SCHOOLS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, MANY OF THESE LANGUAGE SPECIFIC CLASSES ARE NOT IN OUR NORMAL STAFFING MODEL. IT IS UP TO THE SCHOOL TO DECIDE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THOSE POSITIONS. IN SOME CASES THE SCHOOLS DID NOT ELECT TO PURCHASE THIS BACK. SAME WITH AND WITH RESPECT TO THE RETURNS THERE WAS A HISTORICAL MODEL IN WHICH THOSE T TONS WERE JUST ROLLED OVER YEAR OVER YEAR AND THIS YEAR WE TRIED TO ALIGN THE T TON ALLOCATIONS TO THE SCHOOL SITE AND ALSO GIVE SCHOOLS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE T TURNS. THERE WAS JUST NOT ENOUGH PURCHASES OF T TENDS TO SATISFY THESE 16 AND IN THAT CASE THERE JUST WASN'T AN ACQUISITION SO IT IS A MIXED BAG OF JUST SCHOOL AUTONOMY AND ALSO HOW YOU ALLOCATE POSITIONS AND I THINK THREE OF THE T TOWNS ARE RETURNING FROM THAT IS CORRECT BUT THIS THIS IF THE BOARD DOES
TAKE THIS ACTION I THINK T ON THE SCHOOL HERE YES. SO FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW WE WILL SIT TOGETHER IN MY OFFICE AND GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE POSITIONS. YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS HAVE VACANCIES IN SERIES PAIRS SO WE DO HAVE JOBS FOR PEOPLE IF THEY IF THEIR CLASSIFICATION IS IF THEY CAN'T BE ACCOMMODATED IN THAT CLASSIFICATION AND WE WILL WORK VERY COLLABORATIVELY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET JOBS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CONTINUE EMPLOYMENT. THANK YOU. AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S HARD TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE CAN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE, CAN'T PREDICT WHO'S GOING TO ENROLL OR WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S MAY BUDGET REVISES OR ANY NUMBER OF THINGS BUT JUST IN PART JUST TO INFORM OUR COMMUNITY AND IN PART TO INFORM THE BOARD WITH RESPECT TO THE TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES WHO WILL ALSO BE RECEIVING NOTICES. IS THERE A POTENTIAL FUTURE IN WHICH SOME OF THOSE FOLKS ARE REHIRED EITHER AS TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT EMPLOYEES BECAUSE OF RETIREMENTS OR SEPARATIONS
OR YOU KNOW, SO IN THE CASE OF HOLDING PROP 98 FUNDS THERE ANY NUMBER IN THE CASE OF TEMPS WE HAVE TO NOTIFY YOU FOR THE WHOLE CLASS OF EMPLOYEES EVEN THOUGH FOR EXAMPLE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT CLASS ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION WHICH WE NEED . RIGHT. BUT WE STILL ARE REQUIRED TO NOTICE FOR THE WHOLE CLASS. RIGHT? THAT'S JUST THE LAW. WE CAN'T CHANGE THAT. SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE TELLING YOU THERE'S 300 TEMPS THAT WE HAVE TO NOTICE HOW MANY OF THEM ARE SPECIAL ED THAT WE NEED TO KEEP I THINK MORE THAN HALF I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS BUT WE WILL NOT BE SENDING NOTICES TO SPECIAL EDUCATION, MATH OR TEACHING BECAUSE OF OUR TEMPORARY. >> YES, EXACTLY. I THINK ANY FINAL QUESTIONS BEFORE WE SAY THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSCORE WE ARE IN A BETTER PLACE TODAY THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF OUR POSITION CONTROL AND I'M VERY DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO GETTING US TO WHERE WE ARE. IT IT IS WORTH NAMING AGAIN, IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT WE ARE AT A
POINT WHERE LAST YEAR WE OFFERED 298 FOLKS ON OUR PCAST LIST IN THIS YEAR WE HAVE LESS THAN 40 SO SO THANK YOU 42 TO YOU JUST ABOVE AND I JUST AND I DO WANT TO ASK THE BOARD SO A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN. YOU PROBABLY SAW THE STRAIN ON MY FACE AS YOU WERE ALL DEBATING WHAT NEXT WEEK'S BUDGET SESSION IS ABOUT. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING A SECOND INTERIM. I TOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT WE WOULD OFFER A STUDY SESSION AS I SAID TO PRESIDENT KIM TO SIT DOWN WITH A PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF THE SECOND INTERIM AND GIVE THE BOARD MEMBERS TIME TO REALLY ASK QUESTIONS AND HAVE THAT TIME TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WHICH IS WHAT A STUDY SESSION IS REALLY GOOD FOR SO THAT YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION BEFORE DOING THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING ON THE 10TH. HOWEVER, A LOT OF WHAT WAS JUST THROWN OUT THERE AND THIS MEETING IS NEXT WEEK IS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SECOND INTERIM AND SO I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE STAFF TIME TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING GREATER THAN WHAT WE HAD ALREADY DISCUSSED AND IF I'M EVEN GOING TO TAKE A SHOT AT IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE
BOARD NEEDS TO SORT OF HAVE MORE CLARITY FOR THEMSELVES TO GIVE TO STAFF BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED FOR THE STUDY SESSION. SO SO I NEED THE BOARD TO SORT OF COALESCE AND REALIZE THAT THE STAFF IS UP AGAINST PREPARING THE SECOND INTERIM AT THIS POINT AS WELL. I APPRECIATE THAT. I ACTUALLY THINK I MEAN I WILL LOOK TO VICE VERSA HULING AND ME WE WERE ALL IN THE SAME SPACES. >> I THINK THE ASK WAS PRETTY CLEAR. THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS ABLE TO BE COMING IN FRONT OF THE BOARD? SO THE ASK WAS PRETTY CLEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE NUMBERS ACROSS EACH OF THE STAGES HERE FROM PROJECTIONS TO OUR ENROLLMENT TO OUR BUDGET TO OUR TO OUR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIST. I MEAN THAT WAS THE ASK WAS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT ALL SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW NUMBERS WERE RECEIVED. RIGHT. SO NOW IF STAFF ARE NOT PREPARED TO SHARE THAT I, I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT AND THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THEN TO BE HAD AROUND THAT. BUT THE ASK WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLEAR WHEN IT CAME TO THE QUESTIONS AROUND OUR BUDGET
AND SPECIFICALLY AROUND EL CAP . THE QUESTION WAS CAN WE HAVE A HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW OUR BUDGET IS DEVELOPED TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FACT THAT OUR CAP IS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF WHAT GUIDES OUR BUDGETING PROCESS. NOW AGAIN IF ALL OF THAT IS IN PREPARED AND READY THAT'S THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. BUT THE ASK WAS MADE PRETTY CLEARLY AND SO SO I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE ASK OKAY OTHER THAN FOR A STUDY SESSION I DON'T KNOW. YEAH AND I THINK THAT YOUR YOU KNOW I'M SURE KNEE DEEP IN PREPARING THE SECOND INTERIM WHICH IS FOR THE BUDGET OF THE YEAR NOW THAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH THE STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED NOW AND I THINK SOME OF THE BOARD'S CONCERN IS MORE AROUND BUILDING NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND WHAT ASSUMPTIONS AROUND REVENUE OR AROUND ENROLLMENT OR WHAT HAVE YOU ARE BUILT IN TO WHAT BUILDING NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET LOOKS LIKE WITH RESPECT TO THE FISCAL STABILIZING PLAN THAT WE EXPECT TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD ALONGSIDE THE SECOND INTERIM?
RIGHT, RIGHT. AND SO BECAUSE THERE'S THE ELEMENT OF THE SECOND INTERIM THAT IS FORWARD LOOKING AROUND WHAT STEPS DO WE NEED TO TAKE FOR FUTURE BUDGETS BASE THAT WILL BE BUILT ON FUTURE PROJECTIONS, NOT JUST THE BUDGET THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED AND IS BEING YOU KNOW, SPENT AND WORKED OUT THIS YEAR. I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE QUESTIONS FOR THE STUDY SESSION ARE RISING. YEAH AND JUST TO GIVE ONE CLEAR CRISP EXAMPLE OF THIS RIGHT, THE THE SITE BUDGETS THAT WERE SENT TO SCHOOLS WERE BASED ON OUR PROJECTION OF OUR ENROLLMENT FOR NEXT YEAR. WE NOW HAVE APPLICATION NUMBERS SO WE HAVE SOME BETTER CLARITY ON WHERE WE ARE UNDERSTANDING WHETHER WE ARE ON OR OFF TRACK OR ON OR OFF TARGET HERE WOULD BE ACTUALLY QUITE ILLUSTRATIVE OF WHETHER OR NOT OUR PROJECTIONS ARE ACCURATE WHICH THOSE PROJECTIONS TO COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER'S POINTS ACTUALLY TELL THE SCHOOL SAY HOW MANY POSITIONS THEY CAN GO AFTER. RIGHT.
SO WHICH DIRECTLY IMPLICATES OUR LISTS. AND SO I THINK THE QUESTION IS AS WE DEVELOP AND AS WE CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD IN OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS KNOWING THAT THIS IS A POINT IN TIME, I THINK THAT IS THE OUTSTANDING QUESTION OF ARE WE ON TRACK? ARE WE OFF TRACK HERE BASED ON THE PROJECTIONS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED BACK IN OCTOBER AS THESE DEVELOPED SITE BUDGETS WERE GETTING DEVELOPED? RIGHT. SO I THINK THAT'S THAT IS THE QUESTION. AND IF A STABILIZATION PLAN IS COMING TO THE BOARD ON MARCH 10TH AS WE ANTICIPATE IT WILL BE, I THINK THOUGH THE ULTIMATE THEN QUESTION FOR THAT IS IS THIS WARRANTED? RIGHT AND WHY. RIGHT. AND JUST BETTER UNDERSTANDING THAT I THINK WILL HELP TO BUILD CONFIDENCE AMONG THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEM. WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON? RESPECTFULLY STAFF NEED THESE IN WRITING PLEASE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING ANY OF THIS. IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. OKAY I WILL. OKAY WE CAN PUT IT IN WRITING.
I KNOW THAT WE'VE SHARED IN CONVERSATIONS IN FEBRUARY AND ABOUT THIS SO WE WILL I WILL PUT THAT IN WRITING AND WE HAVE ALL OF OUR LEADERSHIP MEETINGS FULLY DOCUMENTED. I CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S SHARED. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AND THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION. AS WE MOVE TO THE SECOND ITEM AROUND OUR COMMITTEE REPORT WE DISCUSS THIS ALREADY BRIEFLY BUT THIS WAS AN INFORMATION ITEM THAT WAS PULLED UP AND PER ALL THE MOVE IN AN ACTION TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW I THINK WE KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THIS. I AM GOING TO MOVE US NOW FOR TEN ITEM H ACTION ITEMS AND AGAIN THESE REST OF THE FIVE, SIX, SIX ACTIONS HERE ARE ALL STEMMING OFF OF THIS CONVERSATION.
