BASICALLY WE'RE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT T.K. COMING. WE WELCOME T K BUT THE ONLY THING WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS OUR YARD OR SPACES ACTUALLY PRETTY SMALL AND WE'RE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE SAYING THAT THEY WILL BUILD A NEW STRUCTURE THERE. AND WE REALLY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN WHEN WE MIX IN CONSTRUCTION PLUS CHILDREN. I BELIEVE THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IT OVER THE SUMMER.

SO THEN OUR IDEAS OF CONCERN
ARE THOUGHT ABOUT AND I GUESS THAT'S IN A NUTSHELL WHAT IT IS AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEBODY COULD TALK WITH US AND MAKE SURE OUR KIDS ESPECIALLY THE TICKET WE HAVE T CARE READY THEY WILL BE RUNNING AROUND THE YARD PLUS CONSTRUCTION. WE JUST THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE A CONCERN. THANK YOU, MS. CHAN AND ANY MORE ADULTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. THAT CONCLUDES OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE ZOOM ADULT ATTENDEES. >> THANK YOU.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE ALSO NOTICED AS AT LEAST WITH WITH MY WHEN MY SON WHEN HE ATTENDED CLASSES THAT THERE LIKE HIGHER SPANISH AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THE RAPID CAVALERI AND ALSO THE THE THE GRAMMATICAL PORTION OF THE LANGUAGE IS VERY DIFFERENT AND SO AM I AM A LATINO MOTHER SO I SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME AND I KNOW THAT THEY SPEAK ENGLISH AT SCHOOL BUT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT ALSO TO JUST TO HAVE MORE BILINGUAL CLASSES. I MEAN ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE WENT TO WASHINGTON TO THIS TO THIS COURSE AND SO NOW HE CAME VERY EXCITED BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BECOME SOME SORT OF A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR OR A PRIVATE POLICE. AND SO I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO TO SPEAK THEIR THEIR LANGUAGE AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. AND I JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING I THINK THE DISTRICT HAS DONE SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB IN PUSHING FORTH COMMUNICATION IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS
WE'RE PUSHING FOR FOR MORE OF THIS IS BECAUSE WE WE RECOGNIZE THAT BEYOND SPANISH THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT SPEAK DIALECT THAT WE WORK WITH AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT SUPPORT AND SO WE HAVE TO OUTSOURCE TO CBOS OR ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER EVEN STUDENTS THAT SPEAK THAT DIALECT SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THEM. THE OTHER IDEA AND SUGGESTION IS THAT A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES DO NOT HAVE A HOME. THEY LIVE IN SHELTERS AND SO SOME OF THE COMMUNICATION THAT IS SENT OUT TO THE TO THE ADDRESS THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR A SYNERGY TO THEIR STUDENTS IS NOT ACCURATE. SO THEY'RE NOT RECEIVING THE INFORMATION AND IT'S VERY CRUCIAL THAT THOSE FAMILIES ARE RECEIVING THE INFORMATION OR THE SERVICES THAT THE DISTRICT IS PROVIDING BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST MARGINALIZED AND MOST AT RISK. AND SO WHAT WE DO IS WE OFTENTIMES WE HAVE THEIR DIRECT NUMBER AND WE CONNECT WITH THEM IN OUR OWN DATABASE WHERE WE KNOW WHERE THEY'RE LIVING, WHICH SHELTER THERE ARE AND WE KNOW THE HOURS SO THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE. SO WE HAVE TO DO BETTER BY THEM BECAUSE THESE FAMILIES DO EXIST. A LOT OF OUR POPULATION IS IN SHELTERS AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT THOSE FAMILIES.
OH YEAH, NO IT'S OKAY IF YOU COULD ACTUALLY TRANSLATE THIS FOR ME WE WERE GOING TO DO THE QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS AND THEN HAVE MORE OF A CONVERSATION AND SO I THINK IF MY MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT COMMISSIONERS WANT TO WANT TO SHARE? AND THEN WE'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER RAY TIMA. BUT AS A KID AND I SAID ON THAT ON THAT BUT I WANT US HE WAS AND IS HARD ON THE PREGNANT US GET IN GET OUT ON THERE AND IT'S LIKE SO KID I DON'T KNOW CONVERSATION JUST HAVING COMMON SENSE I THINK SO OKAY TO AGREE I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO PARALLEL SUPERINTENDED BY THIS THEY'RE LEARNING ENGLISH THIS SPACE IS KEY KID ALSO IT WAS DONE TO LOOK AT IT WAS TO HEAR ON THE LAST CONDITIONALS AND BAREST DIG ALMOST AN ESTIMATE MENTAL ABOUT DEPRESSION BUT IN LACKAWANNA OUR IMMIGRANT COALITION LOSS CLASS INVERSION DESK PODIUM WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE BLESSED ADELA TELL TELL DISTRITO AND AND
ELEMENTARY ELA BOYO AND ESTHER MOMENTUM SO I WAS ASKING MY QUESTION FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT IS GIVEN WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE WORSENING CONDITIONS FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN THIS MOMENT, WHAT ARE THE INVEST MENTS WE CAN SEE IN THE BUDGET THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THOSE CONDITIONS AND SUPPORT OUR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS? MR. RAY SORRY, JUST CHECKING. WE'RE WAITING. I SHOULD ASK MY QUESTIONS BEFORE OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. WHICH WAS CARAUSIUS PARA STARKEY ASTROLOGY? NO PUERTO BLAH ESPANOL TANTO BEING ON A MISSIONARY ALL HE'S ALEXANDER PEDRO WITH TRATAR AND POCO THE PEDDLED ON THEM ETC. THIS THE ESPANOL WHY ARE PREGNANT OR I PEDIR ALL OF SUPERINTENDENT MARIA SUPER KAY ME PREGUNTA IS PARA AIR JESSICA MACIAS PASO TRIBAL OKAY SO MY QUESTION FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT RELATES TO WHAT WE KNOW ACADEMICALLY ABOUT STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE MIGRANT EDUCATION PROGRAM. I HAD ASKED STAFF ABOUT WHETHER WE KNEW PROFICIENCY RATES FOR
READING AND MATH COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS RATES AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AND STAFF WERE INDICATED THAT WE RECEIVED SOME OF THIS INFORMATION THROUGH THE MIGRANT STUDENT INFORMATION NETWORK AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION ISN'T THERE SUCH AS COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. BUT WE DO HAVE SOME READING AND MATH INFORMATION. SO MY QUESTION MAINLY RELATES TO HOW WE CAN HELP TO ENSURE THAT OUR MIGRANT STUDENTS ARE ACTUALLY ON TRACK IN TERMS OF THEIR STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND FOR THINGS THAT AREN'T TRACKED LIKE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. DO WE HAVE A WAY OF DOING THAT? OF COURSE IF THERE ARE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU STUDIES CNN, I CAN SEE YOU HAVEN'T SEE US. >> YOU KNOW WE WENT BEYOND FEDERAL HISTORY BECAUSE I NEED TO INTERPRET YOUR QUESTION. SORRY ABOUT THAT SCENE AND LA SENORA REY I SAY WELL BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN AIR THIS FACILE AND THERE'S GLOSS IDENTIFIED AT THIS POINT DOES BUT I IMPLORE AND ESTABLISH NO
SORRY COMO BAN LAS ALAS I BELIEVE THAT IS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE TO THE ANTIS TAMBIEN COLA LANE ASSISTENZA CRONICA ECOMMERCE STOP WHAT AFFECT THAT ALSO MILLIONS ME THAT ALL OF THE STUDENTS IMMIGRANTS SO THAT EITHER CONDONE NO CERTAINLY MARCO COMPLETO THEY TOLD US THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THIS IS TENNESSEE INDO PATEL CAN RECOGNIZE THEIR GROUP OR THEIR STUDY AND THIS ESPECIFICAMENTE OH COMMISSIONER FISCHER GARCIA'S LIKE SENORA SANDOVAL PRESIDENT LOPEZ IS SECRETARY CASTILLO IT ALL BACK THERE MISSY PAULA PRESENTATION DONE BANDIT ARE LET US ARE THEY GOOD IDEAS SEND THE CASINO ENTICING POLICY UNTIL THE INVESTORS THE STUDENTS MEAN BATTERY AS A SECONDARY AS ONE TESTIMONIAL FOR THEIR VILLA FOR YOU ACADEMICALLY SO SEATTLE FOR SALO JIRO THIS YEAR AQUI GET YOUR POOR YOUR COMPLETAMENTE ALGARVE MODEL BACK HERE EXPANDED THE SERVICES BEATLES THANK YOU MS. SANDOVAL PRESIDENT LOPEZ AND SECRETARY CASTILLO AND THE ENTIRE M.A.C
PACK FOR THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS SO DETAILED SEEING THIS ALMOST 95% GRADUATION RATE FOR OUR MIGRANT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IS A REAL TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF THIS TARGETED ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SUPPORT. AND I THINK WE'VE BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT THOSE IMPORTANT TARGETS PORTS MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND I WANT TO SAY HERE PUBLICLY THAT I FULLY STAND WITH THE PACT'S CALLS TO PROTECT AND EXPAND THESE CRITICAL AND VITAL SERVICES THEY WANT TO SEE SOME FAR AHEAD DISTRICT OF VIRGIN MIKHAIL SUPER CLARA PRESENTATION AND THOSE ELABORATE INTO SOME SOME SUE ELLEN I SAID IN ENGLISH SO I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS AND THEY'RE FOR THE DISTRICT BECAUSE I THINK YOUR PRESENTATION WAS VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT THE ASK IS AND WHAT THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARED. SO I'M GOING TO ASK DR. CITIES TWO QUESTIONS AND I'M GOING TO DO THEM IN ENGLISH. SO THE FIRST QUESTION AND THEN I'LL PAUSE FOR INTERPRETATION WAS ABOUT THE STAFF AND TEACHERS REFLECTING OUR STUDENT BODY AND THIS IS NOW THIS IS THE THIRD MEETING IN A
ROW WHERE THIS THEME HAS COME UP. IT CAME UP WITH ASIAN PAC LAST WEEK. IT CAME UP WITH A PAC THE WEEK BEFORE. AND SO THERE'S A REAL THEME HERE AND I KNOW THAT I BROUGHT THIS UP LAST TIME BUT I WANT TO ENSURE THAT WHEN WE ARE LOOKING FOR PIPELINES, WHEN WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND OUR RECRUITMENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE BEING REALLY INTENTIONAL AND THAT WE'RE NOT WORKING IN SILOS WITH JUST JUST THIS DEMOGRAPHIC OR JUST THIS DEMOGRAPHIC BUT WE'RE REALLY WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT ARE HISTORICALLY NOT BEING REFLECTED IN OUR STUDENTS SPACES ARE SO THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THAT'S HAPPENING. >> I THINK YOU SEE INSTANCES WHEN I THINK OF THOSE BUT I WANT US A LATIN BECAUSE DISTRITO ON THERE THEY USE THE INEXPENSIVE REPLICA THAT TO EMPLOY A GENTLEMAN MORE OR LESS I'M AN OPPOSITE I GET TO BE MORE SO NOW BEING ON GRUPO THE EL WILL PLAY A PACKED DANCE YET BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE TO BE MORE SORT OF EUROPEAN DOES THIS GIVE
US HAVE A REALMENTE COMO THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME INTO TRABALHANDO SOLAMENTE M PUNTOS SUPPLEMENTAL SOMOS COLONIAL OTRO COMES OUT AND DOES THIS CÉSAR COMES AS UP AND THEN ON A CONSOLE CONSOLIDATION THE PUERTO RICAN COUNTERPARTIES SO THEY COME INTO OUR MOST CARE AND AS YOU KNOW GRUPO CAN NOT REPRESENT OKAMOTO WELL I LOOK AT SOMEONE NOSOTROS OTHERS READ THE SECOND QUESTION QUESTION I THINK RELATES TO WELL NOT I THINK IT RELATES TO GUARD FIVE SO THE DROP FROM 278 TO 140 ENROLLED MFP STUDENTS DUE TO THE REASONS THAT YOU SUGGESTED HOUSING INSTABILITY COST OF LIVING IMMIGRATION IS DEEPLY CONCERNING GIVEN THAT RISE S.F. IS ALREADY CONTRACTING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR CASE MANAGEMENT AND SOME BARRIER REMOVAL. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TARGETED CROSS AGENCY CITY PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE'RE EXPLORING TO TO HELP PROVIDE MORE HOLISTIC WRAPAROUND SERVICES BECAUSE THE FEAR IS REAL. WE KNOW THAT. AND SO IN TERMS OF GUARDRAIL FIVE AND SORT OF THIS SYSTEMIC AND STRUCTURAL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, ARE WE PUSHING
IN THERE MORE GIVEN THE CONTEXT AND THE SPACE IN THE WORLD THAT WE'RE LIVING IN? >> THERE WAS A LOT I'M GOING TO I'M SENSING DONORS THOSE IN THIS TO CANCEL A CONVERSATION WAS A DETRIMENTAL THIS TO THE ANTIS OF THE TOTAL COMMUNITY THAT WE NEED THERE THOSE INTERSECTING TERRITORIES INTERTWINED IN TERMS ALMOST A NEEDLE ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER ROMANTICA SOMEBODY TO LOOK ON OCCASIONS ALUMNUS CARE YEAH NO SYSTEMATIC PLANNING ON DISTRITO E GIVE US I DO KNOW FOR MY A BECAUSE HOW MUCH HOLISTIC AM I SO WE'RE PUT INTO A TENEMOS AND WE KNOW SOBRIETY WAS A GOOD LOOK AS A CENTRAL MENTAL DISTRITO BUT FOR THEIR CAREER PERFORMANCE ON THE CORTEZ A B S BUT THEN IN THE CASA TRIAD DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORT UNDER MY SUPPORT SO SOME OF THAT ALTHOUGH I STILL GO TO SPECIFIC COME INTO THANK YOU I'M MUCHAS GRACIAS PARA MIA SPEND YOUR LIST MY MOM PEDRO LARA ON ENGLISH PUERTO FOR OKAY THE SCOPE OF ME I'LL BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE IN ENGLISH OKAY SO SORRY LUIS BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ETHIC. YOU GUYS PUT THOSE YOU OKAY SO THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION AND A LOT OF I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN MORE IN THE THE SUCCESS AND THE THE SUCCESS AND THE GRADUATION RATES REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND THE IMPACT IT CAN HAVE WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES WHEN A GET US THAT AND ACQUIRE THAT I MEAN COMMISSION THAT WAS WORK. SO LET'S ALLOW FOR THE NEEDLE. THOMAS ALTOS A STUDENT IS GOING TO THE LEVELS YES SO THEM INTO SEVEN AND OF LOCAL THERE ARE THERE ARE ALSO THE RALLIES I HAVE A COUPLE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND I'LL START BY REFERENCING SLIDE 12 AND THE LANGUAGE INTERPRETER LANGUAGE AND INTERPRETATION WHEN I GET OUR TIME. >> ANYWAY I SAID IT DOES BUT I WANT US A KNOW THEY JUST BY A EMPHATIC OTHER QUALITY A POSITIVE ELEMENT OF THOSE GETTING TOGETHER ALL CAME MENTIONED THAT PART OF THE ELECTION INTERPRETATION
AND WHILE I APPRECIATE THE 15% LINE THAT WE'VE DRAWN THERE I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER TITLE SIX TO ENSURE THAT ANY ENTITY THAT RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDING MUST PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY, EQUITABLE ACCESS TO EQUAL ACCESS TO PROGRAMS, SERVICES AND INFORMATION THROUGH FREE INTERPRETATION AND LANGUAGE SERVICES. >> SO YOU KNOW, LET'S CLOSE COMPARISON IN SUCH AS TERMS OF LEGAL POSSIBILITIES. SO FOR US AND FOR THOSE FEDERALISTS IT'S A SAD THING. OKAY. OR FOR COLGATE IS QUELLA E HERMANOS AND THOSE OF RAISING THE BARRIERS TO ACCESS WOULD BE EVEN HIGHER AND THE ISOLATION WOULD BE EVEN HIGHER AND THE NEED FOR INTERPRETERS AND TRANSLATION SERVICES WOULD BE EVEN MORE URGENT. >> IT DOESN'T IN MOST CASES THOMAS WOULD RENT A LA LA LA MINTO SO MICHEL WAS A MUTUAL MY SANTOS OF THE PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS SOLOMON DEVLIN ON SOLID HUMAN AS THE CASTLE ELYSIUM NOT EVIL THAT GOT
PERSONA AND THE SUCCESS OF WHAT I MAKE THAT MUCH OF MINE IS PROBLEMATIC NEXT ON SLIDE 14 AS FAR AS FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND FLEXIBLE PROGRAMING, I'M REALLY, REALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS THERE. MY OWN SON ATTENDS MISSION HIGH SCHOOL AND IN OUR LAST SC MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT OUR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM CHALLENGES THERE AND AND SO I JUST REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER AND CREATE FLEXIBLE PROGRAMING AND PREVENT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, WE'RE ACTUALLY HELPING TO CLOSE OUR BUDGET GAPS OR NONETHELESS IN THIS CASE ON MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT ARE NOT THAT IS SO THAT ALTHOUGH AND THE POSITIVE AND TRY TO SAY GO IN AS THE COUSINS OVER THERE LOVES AND HE'S MY CHRONICLE HE COMES UP WITH EPIC THAT PUTS HIM BELOW ME AT LA PREPARATORY MISSION A B STOPPED COMING AND I LOVE THEM. I CONTACT TOO WE MUST GO AND I MEAN OURSELVES AND THESE MOCK CHRONICLE THAT OR AT LAST BETRAYED US ECONOMICS AND WAS THE CASA PROGRAM PTOSIS AND MS. PERKINS BUT I MET ON MS. ALTO THE STUDENTS CARE SYSTEM AND A
SCHOLAR A LOT OF THE CASE EL SANTANA THEM WHEN THAT ECONOMIC JUST MISSION HIGH SCHOOL NOT MISSION PREP JUST FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH I SAID MISSION PREP NO MISSION HIGH SCHOOL NOT MISSION OKAY OKAY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YEAH CORRECTLY LOOKING AT MISSION PREP AS MISSION AS MISSION HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU LUIS AND THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE AGAIN GOING BACK TO CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM I THINK THAT THE THEME HERE IS TARGETED UNIVERSALISM WHEN WE PUT THE SUPPORTS AND SERVICES IN PLACE THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY OUR FAMILIES THAT ARE FURTHEST AWAY FROM EQUITY AND JUSTICE, IT BENEFITS EVERYONE AND IT BRINGS THE WHOLE SYSTEM UP. AND SO WE'RE SEEING IN PARTICULAR THE IMPACT AT MISSION JUST TO USE MY OWN STUDENTS EXAMPLE WELLNESS CENTER BEING CLOSED CERTAIN DAYS OR CERTAIN HOURS IS INCREASING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM
,STUDENTS NOT HAVING FLEXIBILITY. WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO HAVE TO LEAVE BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY IN ORDER TO GO TO WORK AND ACTUALLY SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES AND THAT'S INCREASING ABSENTEEISM. SO WE NEED TO THINK COLLABORATIVELY NOT JUST FOR ANY ONE CERTAIN FOCAL POPULATION BUT THESE RECOMMENDED MISSIONS WILL HELP SO MANY STUDENTS AND I KNOW I'M OUT OF TIME. MAY I ASK FOR JUST 30 MORE SECONDS TO ASK ONE MORE QUESTION WELL BEFORE YOU CONTINUE. THANK YOU. SEE A KEY IS WHAT I MEAN. >> SO THERE HAS BEEN THIS TERRIBLE MENTAL ILLNESS TO THE END. THIS IS OUR MOSQUE. ONE OF THE FACTORIES KEPT WITHIN A FACT THAT SOMEBODY TO GO IN AND STAY AND AS THE PUNTO IS A LOSS AND THESE MOCK CHRONICLES OF A MOSQUE THROWN INTO A WINDOWS MOMENT AS OFTEN AS IS 2010 AND GIRLS AND THAT I SEE IT IN AUTHENTIC AS WELL AS MATURE AND AS PERTINENT TO THAT PLAY AS A FAMILIAR AND AS A CLASSICAL MORE THAN APOLLO WHEN I WAS IN GUANTANAMO AND PLAY ON LATIN AND I AM A PORTRAYED OF A MIRROR PROPONENTS OF THE BABY INTO THIS PEN SIDE AND COME UP WITH ALMOST ARE A COME UP WITH AMONGST OURSELVES AND FOR MY CASE A COLLABORATIVE BUT PODEMOS SIRCAR AND LOPEZ
AND THESE MORE CHRONIC OKAY THANK YOU SO I'LL ASK THE QUESTIONS I ASKED BEFORE IS ARE THE RESOURCES THAT WE'VE PUT INTO MENTAL HEALTH FLEXIBLE PROGRAMING AND OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED HERE ARE THEY I WOULD ARGUE THAT OUR BUDGET AS IT IS IS NOT BASELINE SUFFICIENT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE DEFINED IT AS SUCH. AND SO ARE THERE ANY RESOURCE CHANGES OR ADDITIONAL RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS YOU PLAN TO PUT IN PLACE TO HELP ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT ARE RAISED HERE BY THE PAC? AND IRONICALLY I WILL START BECAUSE I HAD POINTED OUT TO PRESIDENT KIM EARLIER I DON'T THINK TEN MINUTES IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES. YOU GUYS STAYED WITHIN YOUR TIME LIMIT? I DID NOT AT THE HEART IS AS NICE AS HE DOES GREAT I'LL BE QUICK IS IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO I FIND THE THE TREND OF DECREASING ENROLLMENT IN THE PROGRAM VERY CONCERNING AND MY QUESTION IS IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO REVERSE THE
DECLINE IN ENROLLMENT OR LESS MATRICULATION? >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. SO THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT I WANT TO MENTION WITH THAT QUESTION. THE FIRST IS THAT MIGRANT HAS VERY STRICT REGULATION AND IN REGARDS OF HOW WE QUALIFY FAMILIES SO FAMILIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT FAMILIES ONLY QUALIFY FOR A PROGRAM FOR THREE YEARS SO THEY CAN DEPEND SO IT'S DIFFERENT. EACH FAMILY QUALIFIES IN THEIR EXTENT OF THEIR QUALIFICATION IS NOT ALL THE SAME BECAUSE THE WORK IS DONE THROUGH SEASONS AND EVERY FAMILY DOES A DIFFERENT SEASON, A DIFFERENT CROP, DIFFERENT JOB. SO THAT STARTING IN REGARD TO THE DECLINE PRIOR TO THIS WE HAD A FULL TIME RECRUITER. WE I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS POSITION AT THIS POINT I AM HANDLING ALL PARTS OF THE PROGRAM. SECOND PIECE OF IT IS THAT THE COST OF LIVING NOW IN SAN FRANCISCO IS EXTRA NOMINALLY IT
JUST YOU CAN'T LIVE HERE WITHOUT HAVING TWO JOBS AT MINIMUM WAGE. >> THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS. THE SECOND PART IS THAT THERE IS CONTINUOUS FEAR FAMILIES LEAVING BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. THE BIGGEST THE BIGGEST REASON OUR FAMILIES ARE NOT LEAVING IS BECAUSE THERE IS REAL FEAR OF OUR FAMILIES BEING DEPORTED. WE'VE HAD TWO CASES OF OUR FAMILIES BEING DEPORTED. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET SUPPORT. SO WE DO HAVE CBOS THAT WE WORK WITH AND EMERGENCY HOTLINES THAT I HAVE CONNECTED WITH FOR OUR FAMILIES. THAT'S WHY IT'S REALLY CRITICAL FOR US TO HAVE THESE WORKSHOPS WHERE WE PREPARE OUR FAMILIES FOR CASES LIKE THIS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST THE CURRENT BECAUSE OUR FAMILIES ARE HERE. THERE IS A STIGMA OF CALLING YOURSELF A MIGRANT FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE FEAR AND THE ASSOCIATION WITH THAT WORD. >> SO THE MORE WE WE TEACH PEOPLE IN OUR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS STAFF, EVEN OUR OWN FAMILIES ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, IT'S IMPORTANT WE
ALWAYS START BY SAYING WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLICE. THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE WILL SHARE THAT WILL HARM YOUR STATUS HERE OR YOUR ABILITY TO ACCESS EDUCATION OR THESE SERVICES. SO I ALWAYS START LIKE THAT. THE BIGGEST SUPPORT THAT I HAVE IS WORD OF MOUTH. OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. SO I DO GO OUT TO CBOS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND SHARE OUR WORK. I DO PRESENTATIONS, I DO COFFEE SHOP, I ATTEND COFFEE CHATS WITH THE PRINCIPALS. I GO TO ELAC SO I DO ALL OF THE THINGS IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM AND TO RECRUIT FAMILIES . BUT IT IS A FULL TIME JOB TO DO THAT. >> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO GET THE SUPPORT AND TO SPREAD THE WORD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW GIVEN OUR POLITICAL CLIMATE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUR FAMILIES ONE TO TRUST AND TO TO LEAVE AND THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO QUALIFY. >> YEAH, I KNOW THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE DIRECTED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AS WELL. I THINK MOST QUESTIONS WERE DIRECTED AT THIS AND IN ADDITION TO A FEW THAT WERE ASKED OF OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE HERE TODAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN WITH RESPONDING OR SUPERINTENDENT DO YOU WANT TO BEGIN WITH RESPONDING THERE? SURE. YES, SURE. I THANK YOU. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU FOR BEING HERE AND SHARING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION. SO JUST IN TERMS OF RESPONDING TO SOME OF THE HIGH LEVEL QUESTION OH, SORRY. WHICH IS GOING TO YEAH. DO YOU WANT ME TO I CAN STOP BECAUSE YOU CAN DO SIMULTANEOUS OKAY SO SO I KNOW THAT THE QUESTIONS AROUND HOW ARE WE GOING TO INDICATE OUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN SUPPORTING MIGRANT SERVICES MIGRANT PROGRAMS? WELL WHERE WE'RE SUPPORTING BRENDA AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE
STAFF PERSON, IT'S A STAFF PERSON THAT IS PROVIDING THE MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BRENDA TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. WE DO HAVE PARTNERS WITH NONPROFIT AGENCIES THAT WILL THAT DO COME IN AND PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS AND OTHER WRAPAROUND SUPPORTS. THERE IS ALSO CAREER EXPOSURE TYPE PROGRAM SO EXPERIENTIAL CAREER AWARENESS SERVICES THAT A LOT OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT FUNDING FOR MIGRANT PROGRAMS IN MIGRANT SERVICES MAY SHOW UP IN OUR BUDGET IN TERMS OF THE THE ONE OF THE THE QUESTIONS AROUND OTHER CBOS WE DO BRING CBOS IN BUT WE ALSO PROVIDE DIRECT TUTORING PROGRAMS AND TUTORING SUPPORTS TO OUR STUDENTS WHEN OUR EDUCATORS WHEN THE TEACHERS ARE ASKING FOR IT AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE I KNOW THAT WE NEED MORE WE NEED MORE TUTORING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS PARTICULARLY BECAUSE WE WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO TO ENGAGE IN THE CURRICULUM AND BE ABLE TO EXCEL IN OUR CLASSROOMS. AND I AGAIN, I KNOW THAT THERE WERE LOTS OF QUESTIONS AROUND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND IT IS SAD TO HEAR THAT THAT THE WELLNESS CENTERS DO CLOSE AND WHEN THEY DO CLOSE STUDENTS DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT. THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I WANT TO LOOK INTO. I WONDER IF THEY ARE CLOSING BECAUSE OF REQUIRED STAFF BREAKS DURING THE DAY OR IS IT BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS REDUCTIONS TO OUR STAFF? THE REALITY IS WE DO PARTNER VERY CLOSELY WITH SAN FRANCISCO'S DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO BRING IN THE ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS THAT COME INTO OUR WELLNESS CENTERS BOTH AT OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AND BECAUSE THE CITY IS EXPERIENCING REDUCTIONS IN THEIR BUDGET, WE DO KNOW
THAT THERE IS AN IMPACT TO THAT LEVELS OF SERVICES THAT COME TO SAN FRANCISCO. I THINK THOSE ARE A LARGE NUMBER. SO SO THERE'S TWO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING ARE THE READING AND MATH DATA AND GRADUATION DATA. I WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER. >> WE HAVE THE GRADUATION FOR THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS DATA AND THEN ABSENTEEISM. YES. AND SO I WILL WORK WITH OUR STAFF TO TO GET THAT INFORMATION. AND BRENDA, YOU CAN HELP ME BUT WE'LL GET THAT GET THAT INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE TARGET OUR OUR SUPPORTS TO OUR STUDENTS. AND THEN FINALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION AROUND HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR STUDENTS LOOK LIKE OUR STUDENTS? AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT AS IF USDA NEEDS TO WORK REALLY HARD ON. WE WERE REALLY FORTUNATE THAT
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE HOSTED COB WHICH IS THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF BILINGUAL EDUCATORS HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND AS I'VE SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WITH THE BOARD, WE WERE ABLE TO SET UP A RECRUITING TABLE THERE AND ACTIVELY RECRUITED EDUCATORS WHO CAME TO THAT CONFERENCE ZOO THAT CONVERSATION TO THAT CONFERENCE WE WERE ABLE TO I THINK RECRUIT I DON'T REMEMBER NOW WHAT WHAT IT WAS DEFINITELY AROUND 20 OR 26 PEOPLE WHO WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN THE PROGRAMS THAT WE OFFER THE SUPPORTS THAT WE OFFER AND EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN JOINING THE DISTRICT. WE NEED MORE THOUGH SO WE NEED MORE EDUCATORS AS MORE PARA EDUCATORS TO TO JOIN THE DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEW ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF H.R. TO HELP US BUILD OUT THAT RECRUITMENT PIPELINE. I THINK THOSE AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT
AND THE DECLINING NUMBERS IN OUR MIGRANT PROGRAMS IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE THE POLITICAL CLIMATE IS WHAT IT IS NOW IN OUR CITY AND THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY. BUT I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT SAN FRANCISCO IS STILL A VERY WELCOME AND OPEN PLACE FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO COME HERE. WE KNOW THAT WE CAN PROVIDE FANTASTIC EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IF THEY ENROLL HERE AT SF USD SO I ENCOURAGE FAMILIES WHO ARE INTERESTED TO COME PLEASE COME AND PLEASE ENROLL IN OUR PROGRAMS BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO WELCOME ALL STUDENTS TO COME BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU WANTED TO RESPOND TO AS WELL TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THE MIDDLE STUDY OUT THIS IS I'LL GO WITH THE A NO. I REALLY WANTED TO STUDY I GET
THEM BEEN TO VIETNAM WAS MASS IS THEY ARE YOU GET PARALLEL IN YOUR SECOND CITY THAT IS A SPECIALIST COMMUNITY A COMPLETE ESTIMATE. SO THERE'S ONE PROBABLY HAS NOT MUCH TO DO WITH WHAT WE TALK ABOUT BUT I MEAN I WOULD LIKE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE THAT THEY HAVE IEPS AND I KNOW THAT AT TIMES IS VERY HARD FOR THEM TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT OF TIME. SO I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR THE IEP STUDENTS AT THE SPECIAL SPECIAL ED STUDENTS SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE TIME TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. AND I THINK I JUST WANT TO END BY SAYING THANK YOU. I THINK THAT WE LIVE RIGHT NOW IN A WORLD THAT'S FULL OF LABELS AND DIVISION AND UNCERTAINTY AND ALL OF OUR FAMILIES AND AS IF YOU USED YOUR EXPERIENCE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALWAYS AT THE FOREFRONT OF SUPPORTING OUR FAMILIES, OUR FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE A VOICE OR FAMILIES
THAT ARE NOT BEING HEARD, OUR FAMILIES THAT ARE PROBABLY LIVING IN DARKNESS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF COMING OUT AND AND JUST WORKING HARD IN THIS COUNTRY. SO ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU AND I WANT TO ALSO THANK OUR PARENT LEADERS HERE MARIA ANTONIA AND PATRICIA FOR COMING AND I KNOW THEY WERE VERY NERVOUS OF COMING HERE BUT I ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME AND HAVE A CONVERSATION AND WE'RE ALL HUMAN AND THEY THINK THEY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. >> SO THANK YOU. I WANT TO JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I THINK IT'S WORTH SAYING I HAD PRETTY CLEARLY ON BEHALF OF THIS BOARD THAT OUR HOPE AND OUR GOAL AND OUR ULTIMATE MISSION HERE IS TO CREATE A DISTRICT THAT IS WELCOMING OF EVERY SINGLE STUDENT WHO CHOOSES TO COME TO SAN FRANCISCO REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY COME FROM. AND UNFORTUNATELY WE LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE HAVE TO REAFFIRM OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT THAT SAFETY, SECURITY AND THAT GUARANTEE AND AND AND I JUST
WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT DIRECTLY TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE TODAY JUST OUR DEEP GRATITUDE FOR FOR YOUR BOTH YOUR PRESENTATION BUT FOR THE COURAGE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES AND AND JUST A HUGE AMOUNT OF APPRECIATION FOR FOR ALL THAT YOU DO ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR STAFF I, I THINK IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO BE AN EDUCATOR GENERALLY TODAY LET ALONE AN EDUCATOR WHO'S WORKING IN THESE TIMES AND SO I JUST WANT I APPRECIATE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MOVING TO ITEM F TO FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES COORDINATING PROGRAM EXECUTIVE ADVISORY COUNCIL PRESENTATION ALSO JUST FROM A PROCESS STANDPOINT I DOUBLE THE TIME AND WE'RE PERFECTLY ON TIME. I JUST FINISHED THE BOARD FOR THAT. OH WELCOME. THANK YOU.
AND I NEVER PRESIDENT KIM IT'S MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE CHURCH LEADER CHURCH IN GEORGIA WILLIAM SPRATT FOR JOE WILLIAM TONIGHT I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHY AND AND AND OUR AMAZING PANELISTS HERE AND SURE, SURE. OKAY. GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT KIM VICE PRESIDENT HOLDING COMMISSIONERS DR. SUE AND OUR PUBLIC HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS THOSE TUNING IN THIS EVENING. AS I SAID A LITTLE BIT AGO, MY NAME IS GEORGIA WILLIAMS SPRATT . I'M A MANAGER IN OUR STUDENT FAMILY SERVICES DIVISION. I SUPPORT OUR VOCAL SERVICES INCLUDING OUR FOSTER YOUTH COORDINATING PROGRAM. THIS EVENING WE HAVE MEMBERS FROM THE EXECUTIVE ADVISORY HERE PRESENTING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BEFORE THE BOARD SINCE THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA WAS ADOPTED IN 2013 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CALLED FOR A PRESENTATION. SO WE'RE HAPPY THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY HAPPY FOSTER YOUTH AWARENESS MONTH WHO MAY IS FOSTER YOUTH AWARENESS MONTH. SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO THE TEAM HERE.
GOOD EVENING. I'M SHIRA AND JOHN. I'M THE COORDINATOR OF THE FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES COORDINATING PROGRAM. I'VE BEEN THE COORDINATOR FOR TEN YEARS BUT A PROUD MEMBER OF THIS TEAM FOR 18 YEARS. HI EVERYONE. I'M REBECCA CARSON. I'M SAN FRANCISCO INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS YOUTH AMBASSADOR IN THE LIVED EXPERT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AMY FREIRE. I'M A PROGRAM SUPPORT ANALYST WITH FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES. I'M ALSO A PARENT OF AN ABUSED STUDENT. NEXT SLIDE WE'D LIKE TO START WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES COORDINATING PROGRAM HERE AFTER FRCP AND THEN OUR EXECUTIVE ADVISORY COUNCIL FISA IS A PROGRAM THE STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICES DIVISION AND OPERATES WITH THE COUNTY OFFICE FUNCTION PER ED CODE THE FUNCTION OF FIRE ESCAPES FROM ACROSS THE STATE IS TO PROMOTE THE EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS OF FOSTER YOUTH BY COORDINATING SERVICES ,EXPANDING ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND SUPPORTING LIAISE AND COUNTY PARTNERS TO ENSURE SERVICES ARE ALIGNED AND RESPONSIVE TO THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF FOSTER YOUTH.
AS A COUNTY OFFICE WITH ONE DISTRICT, OUR PROGRAM IS STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED TO PARTNER WITH DISTRICT DEPARTMENTS TO ENSURE THAT SFD, SD AND COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE IMPLEMENTING THE SPECIFIC MANDATES RELATED TO THE EDUCATION OF FOSTER YOUTH AND TO MOVE BEYOND COMPLIANCE TO COMMITMENT. SOME OF THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE BUT AREN'T LIMITED TO THE ENROLLMENT CENTER SPECIAL EDUCATION, STUDENT NUTRITION SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND THE STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICES DIVISION. IT TRULY TAKES A VILLAGE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR PROGRAM PROVIDES TRAINING AND CONSULTATION POLICY DEVELOPMENT, CASE MANAGEMENT, TUTORING AMONG OTHERS. NEXT SLIDE THE EXECUTIVE ADVISORY COUNCIL IS AN INNER AGENCY AND IN OUR DEPARTMENT ADVISORY COMPOSED OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, HIGHER EDUCATION PARTNERS AND SFA, USDA AND COUNTY OFFICE DEPARTMENTS,
THE EOC ADVISES THE DIRECTION OF THE PROGRAMS FORMS AND SUPPORTS COLLABORATION AMONG RESPECTIVE AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF FOSTER YOUTH AND SERVES AS A BODY THAT ADVOCATES FOR IMPROVING AND ADVANCING SYSTEM CHANGE. OUR SHARED GOAL IS TO IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES OF FOSTER YOUTH AND TO SUPPORT THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENCE. NEXT SLIDE WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT FOSTER YOUTH, THE TERM THE TERM COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF STUDENT EXPERIENCE. IT CAN INCLUDE STUDENTS WHO ARE CHILD WELFARE INVOLVED UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DEPENDENCY COURT, JUVENILE JUSTICE INVOLVED IN THE DELINQUENCY COURT AND OR UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF A TRIBAL COURT. THEY CAN BE LIVING IN HOME WITH THEIR FAMILY OR IN AN OUT OF HOME PLACEMENT AND IT CAN ALSO INCLUDE YOUTH AND EXTENDED FOSTER CARE AGES 18 TO 21 DUE TO TRANSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR THE NUMBER OF FOSTER YOUTH VARIES.
THE ANNUAL CENSUS DAY ENROLLMENT IS USED FOR FUNDING PURPOSES AND IS A POINT IN TIME COUNT ON ANY GIVEN DAY THIS SCHOOL YEAR THERE ARE 256 STUDENTS IN ALL SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY INCLUSIVE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS. HOWEVER, THE CUMULATIVE ENROLLMENT REFLECTS THE SCOPE OF TRANSITIONS A STUDENT IN FOSTER CARE MAY EXPERIENCE. FOR EXAMPLE AS WE SIT HERE WE MAY HAVE A STUDENT WHO IS BEING REMOVED FROM THE HOME AND TOMORROW A SCHOOL HAS A STUDENT NEWLY EXPERIENCING FOSTER CARE. THERE ARE ALSO STUDENTS WHO ENROLL IN THE DISTRICT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THAT OFTEN CAN BE THE RESULT OF SCHOOL INSTABILITY WHICH WE'LL SPEAK ABOUT A LITTLE LATER. LAST SCHOOL YEAR THERE WERE 443 STUDENTS IDENTIFIED BY THE STATE. IN ADDITION AS A DISTRICT WE LOCALLY IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY 26% MORE. ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE INCLUDING THEIR EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES AS THE DATA SHOWS. AS YOU CAN ALSO SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF DISPARITIES AMONG FOSTER YOUTH AS 40.6 HAVE AN IEP
ALMOST 47 ARE HISPANIC AND LATINO AND 27% ARE BLACK OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN. NEXT SLIDE BEFORE DELVING INTO AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT WE'D LIKE TO START WITH HIGHLIGHTING A SUCCESS OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS HAD TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING SUSPENSION GOING FROM A 7.1 SUSPENSION RATE IN 2324 TO NO SUSPENSIONS LAST YEAR. HOWEVER, AS A DISTRICT WE ARE IN DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE FOR SUSPENSION, CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS. THERE ARE HUGE DISPARITIES IN OUR SUSPENSION RATE LAST SCHOOL YEAR FOSTER YOUTH WERE SUSPENDED FOUR TIMES GREATER WHEN COMPARED TO THE WHOLE STUDENT BODY AND MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF TIMES FOR FOSTER YOUTH WITHIN IEP AND TWICE THE RATE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS. WE HAD A LARGE INCREASE IN THE CHRONIC ABSENTEE ABSENTEE ISM RATE AND OVERALL THERE'S A LOT OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT IN BOTH MATH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE AT BUT CURRENTLY WE ARE ALSO IN DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE
FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS BECAUSE OF DROPS IN SCORES POVERTY OUR FIRST RECOMMENDATION IS TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS WITH ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS ADMINISTRATORS AND STUDENT SUPPORT STAFF TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE UNIQUE NEEDS AND EXPERIENCES OF FOSTER YOUTH UPHOLDING REQUIRED MANDATES BEST PRACTICES FOR SERVING STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES TO REDUCE SUSPENSIONS AND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT FOSTER YOUTH. WE ALSO RECOMMEND OFFERING CAREGIVER TRAINING AND PROMOTING STUDENTS OF SELF-ADVOCACY BY PROVIDING WORKSHOPS, RESOURCE GUIDANCE AND PRACTICAL TOOLS FOSTER YOUTH HAVE REPEATEDLY GIVEN TO FEEDBACK OVER THE YEARS THAT THEY WISH EDUCATORS UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH. THIS IS HARD BECAUSE ISSUES OF A FOSTER YOUTH ARE NOT EASY ONES. IMAGINE YOURSELVES IN MANY EXPERIENCE SEVERE POVERTY DEALT WITH NEGLECT, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE ESSAY
AND MORE. THESE ARE SENSITIVE TOPICS THAT SHOULDN'T BE LEFT FOR EDUCATORS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK AROUND AT THE EXPENSE OF THE YOUTH. BUT ONES THAT REQUIRE TRAINING TO ENSURE THAT MORE GOOD IS BEING DONE THAN HARM TRAINING SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE HOW TO OFFICIALLY COMMUNICATE WITH THE FOSTER KIDS TEAM WHEN WORKING WITH THE FOSTER YOUTH YOU ARE NOT JUST WORKING WITH THE YOUTH THEMSELVES BUT LIKELY WITH SOCIAL WORKERS, ATTORNEYS, CLASSES, RESOURCE PARENTS AND MORE CONSISTENT AND CLEAR COMMUNICATION IS PIVOTAL FOR YOUTH SUCCESS. OUR SECOND RECOMMENDATION IS TO ENSURE ACCESS TO TUTORING SERVICES AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES. THIS INCLUDES PROMOTING A MIRROR AND IMAGINE MATH PLATFORMS ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR TUTORING AND HAVING SITES. CONSIDER USING STUDENTS ACCESS FUNDS AND COMMUNITY SCHOOL FUNDS TO PAY EXTENDED HOURS FOR STAFF TO PROVIDE TUTORING AFTERSCHOOL FOSTER YOUTH ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISRUPTION IN THEIR EDUCATION SUCH AS MOVING SCHOOLS HAVING TO
TRANSPORT LONG DISTANCES AND DEALING WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPOSED MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT CAN MAKE IT HARD TO FOCUS IN CLASS OR COMPLETE WORK. TUTORING WOULD PROVIDE STUDENTS EXTRA SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT CLASSWORK IS COMPLETED AND UNDERSTOOD THEREFORE LESSENING THE EDUCATIONAL GAP. MANY SAN FRANCISCO DEPENDENT YOUTH ARE PLACED OUTSIDE THE CITY AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS TRANSPORTATION BECOMES THE BIGGEST BARRIER TO KEEPING THEM IN THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN. STAYING IN THEIR SCHOOL PROVIDES STABILITY FAMILIAR PEERS, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY AT A TIME WHEN SO MUCH ELSE FEELS UNCERTAIN. STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS REQUIRE THAT FOSTER YOUTH REMAIN IN THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN WHEN IT'S IN THEIR BEST INTEREST AND THAT DISTRICTS WORK WITH CHILD WELFARE AGENCIES TO ENSURE TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED AS YOUTH ARE PLACED FARTHER AND FARTHER FROM THEIR HOME SCHOOLS HAVING RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE IT QUICKLY IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENTING ATTENDANCE GAPS AND THE
DISRUPTION THOSE GAPS CREATE. OUR THIRD RECOMMENDATION IS TO STRENGTHEN TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT FOR FOSTER YOUTH, TO IMPROVE SCHOOL STABILITY AND ATTENDANCE. THIS INCLUDES MAINTAINING FUNDING FOR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS WITHOUT IEP SERVICES, EXPANDING THE LIST OF TRANSPORTATION VENDORS AND CONSIDERING ALLOWING STAFF TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS TO THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN SIMILAR TO HOW THEY TRANSPORT TRANSPORTATION IS HANDLED FOR FIELD TRIPS. THESE STEPS WOULD ENSURE STUDENTS CAN REMAIN CONNECTED TO THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES WITHOUT UNNECESSARY INTERRUPTIONS DURING PLACEMENT CHANGES. RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION IS KEY PART OF KEEPING FOSTER YOUTH ENROLLED IN AND ENGAGED WITH THEIR SCHOOLS AND IT HELPS PRESERVE THE SENSE OF BELONGING THAT SUPPORTS THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. IT'S OKAY YOU CAN FINISH. OUR FOURTH RECOMMENDATION IS
IN REGARDS TO COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. WE RECOMMEND ENHANCING PATHWAYS INTO COLLEGE AS WELL AS NON-COLLEGE CAREERS BY PARTNERING WITH POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO CONNECT STUDENTS WITH TRADES UNIONS, INTERNSHIPS AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. SECONDLY, WE RECOMMEND STARTING COLLEGE AND CAREER EXPLORATION AS EARLY AS MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH STRUCTURED TOOLS LIKE CAREER ASSESSMENTS AND PLANNING PLATFORMS AND ONGOING EXPOSURE TO DIVERSE PATHWAYS COLLEGE, VOCATIONAL AND BEYOND. >> LAST YEAR I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF RECEIVING A PAID INTERNSHIP VIA A SUFFUSES CAREER READINESS PROGRAM AND WAS ABLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE A PH.D. STUDENT IN UCSF WIGNER LABORATORY WHERE I CONDUCTED NAVAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY SUCH AS THESE ALLOW PRESTIGIOUS CAREER PATHS TO FEEL MORE TANGIBLE FOR FOSTER YOUTH WHO OFTEN LACK EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER GUIDANCE . AFTER SPEAKING WITH FELLOW FOSTER YOUTH, MANY LACK A STRUCTURED PLAN ON LIFE AFTER
HIGH SCHOOL BASIC FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS OR HAVE SET CAREER INTERESTS EARLY INTRODUCTIONS AND PAID HANDS ON EXPERIENCE IN DIVERSE FIELDS WOULD ALLOW FOR FINANCIAL MOBILITY. MANY FOSTER YOUTH BEAR THE STRUGGLE OF FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING THEMSELVES. OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION IS TO ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT'S SUPPORT IN PROMOTING THE RECRUITMENT OF RESOURCES PARENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO SO WE CAN KEEP S.F. KIDS IN SAN FRANCISCO. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE FACE IS SIMPLY NOT HAVING ENOUGH LOCAL RESOURCE PARENTS WHICH PUSHES STUDENTS INTO PLACEMENTS FARTHER AND FARTHER FROM THEIR SCHOOLS. WE KNOW THAT WHEN YOUTH ARE PLACED OUTSIDE THE CITY MAINTAINING THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN BECOMES MUCH HARDER. EVEN THOUGH SCHOOL STABILITY IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST PREDICTORS OF POSITIVE EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE RECOMMEND STANDARDIZING FAMILY FACING PRESENTATIONS TO INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE RESOURCE PARENTS.
WE ALSO ENCOURAGE SCHOOL SITES TO INCORPORATE RECRUITMENT OPPORTUNITIES AT EVENTS LIKE BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. FINALLY WE ASK THAT CLEAR GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED TO SUPPOSED STAFF WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN BECOMING RESOURCE PARENTS THEMSELVES. THE DISTRICT IS IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO REACH FAMILIES ACROSS SAN FRANCISCO AND RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE URGENT NEED FOR MORE HOMES FOR OUR YOUTH. SUPPORTING LOCAL PLACEMENT OPTIONS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIRECT AND IMPORTANT WAYS WE CAN HELP FOSTER YOUTH STAY CONNECTED TO THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ABOUT HOW TO BEST SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF FOSTER YOUTH IN THE DISTRICT. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL THAT WE COULD HAVE THIS AFTER SUCH A LONG TIME SO IT'S GREAT TO BE ENGAGED IN THIS CONVERSATION OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER RAY WE'RE FOLLOWING THE SAME FORMAT WHERE WE ALL ASK QUESTIONS.
OKAY. THANK YOU. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE ALL OF YOU AND ESPECIALLY I MAY HAVE MISSED YOUR NAME REBECCA. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND SHARING WITH US. FIRST THING I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT IS I WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ALL THE INFORMATION AND THE FOCUS ON STUDENTS ACADEMIC OUTCOMES IN THIS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND MY QUESTION IN WITH REGARD TO AN UNDERLYING FACTOR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, ABSENTEEISM AS MENTIONED AS WELL IS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND WE ARE IN CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WITH THE IN THE AREA OF FOSTER YOUTH AGAIN VERY SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE STATE. LOOKING AT THE STATE DASHBOARD, I SEE THAT WE ARE 67.5% CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM FOR FOSTER YOUTH VERSUS 42.1% FOR THE STATE AND IT MAY BE THAT THE THE COMMITTEE HERE HAS SOME SENSE OF WHETHER THERE ARE PARTICULAR PROBLEMS WITH DISTANCE THAT'S CAUSING THIS OR SOMETHING ELSE. BUT I WANTED TO ASK DO WE HAVE ANY PARTICULAR GOALS OR
STRATEGIES WITH RESPECT TO CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM SINCE IT IS SO HIGH AMONG FOSTER YOUTH? MY SECOND QUESTION RELATES TO I HAD ASKED ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT THAT THE DISTRICT WAS IN DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE FOR ACTUALLY FOR IN VARIOUS AREAS AND THERE WAS A STAFF RESPONSE ON THAT AND THE STAFF RESPONSE REFERRED TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUPPORT LIKE LEVEL ONE, ASSISTANCE LEVEL THREE ASSISTANCE ETC.. AND I WAS WONDERING ESSENTIALLY LIKE WHAT LEVEL ARE WE AT? WHAT'S OUR STATUS IN IN TERMS OF THAT? SO FOR SUPER IN THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS OR HER STAFF. AND THEN MY THIRD QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT TRANSPORTATION WHICH YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT I HAD ASKED ABOUT ADDING THIRD PARTY VENDORS BECAUSE I HAD BEEN ONE OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND STAFF HAD INDICATED THAT ESSENTIALLY THAT IS NOT FEASIBLE AS AS I UNDERSTOOD THE ANSWER BECAUSE OFTEN STUDENTS ARE OFTEN THE ONLY RIDER LIKE
ON A STANDALONE ROUTE FOR JUST ONE CHILD AND THAT $50,000 FOR EXAMPLE WOULD COVER ONE STUDENT FOR ONE SEMESTER. SO I'M WONDERING WHAT WHAT OTHER POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES WE MIGHT HAVE FOR ADDRESSING OR SOURCES FOR ADDRESSING TRANSPORTATION COSTS FOR STUDENTS ASSUMING THEY DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO COME TO US OF USD. I SUPPOSE THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO MIGHT DECIDE IT'S TOO FAR THEY JUST WOULD PREFER TO JUST SWITCH UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. >> THANKS. THANK YOU. MICHELLE ALEXANDER. MY QUESTION IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE I ASKED LAST TIME WHAT INVESTMENTS CAN WE SEE IN THE BUDGET THAT ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE STUDENT STUDENT OUTCOMES FOR FOSTER YOUTH? YEAH, I GUESS I'M TRYING TO I REALLY WANT TO TRY TO OUTLINE THIS YEAR AROUND THE BUDGET AS I WAS ASKING THE SIMILAR THING AROUND MIGRANT YOUTH AND IMMIGRANT YOUTH. I ASK THE SAME QUESTION ANY PAC AROUND BLACK STUDENTS AND NOT TO SUGGEST THAT ALL THOSE INVESTMENTS ARE SEPARATE BUT
BUT BUT I JUST WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHERE ARE THE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS WE'RE MAKING FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS IN ORDER TO INCREASE STUDENT OUTCOMES BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS WHO HAVE HIGHER NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE MORE SUPPORT. AND SO WHAT WHAT DOES THAT SUPPORT LOOK LIKE AND WHERE DO WE SEE IT IN THE BUDGET? MY QUESTIONS WELL ONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. NOW AS A FORMER CASA, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD. IT WAS ACTUALLY JUST BEFORE AND SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE . I AM STILL IN TOUCH WITH MY YOUTH AND THEY AGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND THEY'RE FANTASTIC. AND SO BIG SHOUT OUT TO CASAS. I WAS ALSO MY PARTNER AND I ARE SORRY. I THINK HE'LL BE FINE IF I SHARE THIS. MY PARTNER AND I WERE ALSO TRYING TO DO SOME FAMILY PLANNING AND REALIZED THAT WE COULD NOT BE FOSTER PARENTS BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A ONE BEDROOM. AND SO ONE QUESTION I ACTUALLY WANTED TO FOCUS ON RECOMMENDATION FIVE AND 4 OR 4 RECOMMENDATION FIVE WHAT ARE
THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT CAN DO TO TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BECOMING A FOSTER PARENT OR RESOURCE PARENT AND WHERE DO THEY GO CURRENTLY IF THERE IS THAT OR WILL IT? BECAUSE MY ORIENTATION TO THIS RIGHT NOW IS PURELY THROUGH THE LENS OF LIKE THE ENTRY POINT BEING CASA WHO THEY THEMSELVES HELP BRING FOLKS INTO DIFFERENT SERVICES. BUT I'M CURIOUS WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR THE DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO AMPLIFY THE WORK OF RESOURCE PARENTS AND KIND OF USE THAT AS AN ENTRY POINT. THE SECOND WAS THIS WASN'T IN YOUR PRESENTATION BUT I HEARD IT AS PART OF YOUR CONVERSATION ABOUT FINANCIAL LITERACY BEING A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT ESPECIALLY FOR OLDER YOUTH WHO ARE OLDER IN THE SYSTEM OF CARE. AND SO IT'S ACTUALLY A QUESTION FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AROUND FINANCIAL LITERACY REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE COMING FROM THE STATE AND WHEN WHEN WE CAN EXPECT LIKE WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING TO SEE AROUND THAT WORK KNOWING THAT THAT IS PARTIALLY COMING FROM THE STATE? BUT WE ALSO JUST HEARD IT AS WELL AS PART OF THE TASK FOR
SUPPORTING FOSTER YOUTH BY SUPPORTING THANK YOU ECHOES TO THAT THE THANKS AND THE GRATITUDE FOR BEING HERE. I WAS PLEASED AND ALSO STRUCK BY SOMETHING ON SLIDE FIVE IN TERMS OF THE SUSPENSION RATE. SO FANTASTIC THAT THEY WENT FROM 7.14 COUNTY SCHOOLS DOWN TO ZERO FROM 2023 2024 TO 2425. BUT THE NON COUNTY SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT CHANGE AND I'M WONDERING WHETHER YOU ALL OR WHETHER YOU SUPERINTENDENTS YOU KNOW LIKE WHAT WHY LIKE WHAT ARE THAT WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO LIKE WHAT MIGHT BE SOME REASONS WHY WE SAW A DECLINE FOR COUNTY AND WE DIDN'T SEE A DECLINE FOR THE NON COUNTY AND WHY THAT THAT DIFFERENCE IS SO SIGNIFICANT IS IT A RESOURCE QUESTION? IS IT AVAILABILITY OF ADULTS IN CERTAIN SPACES? WHAT IS THE WHY? BECAUSE IF IT'S WORKING IN ONE SPACE CAN WE REPLICATE IT IN ANOTHER? >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. >> I JUST UPLIFT THE QUESTIONS
THAT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS HAVE ASKED. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. OTHER THAN THE SPEED CRACK IN THE APEX, YOU GUYS KNOW YOU'RE LIKE MY FAVORITE BECAUSE OF THE PERSONAL CONNECTION. SO AND I LOVE ALL OF OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES SO THAT'S SAYING A LOT. BUT YES, THANK YOU COMMISSIONER WISEMAN WARD AND I DON'T PLAY FAVORITES SERIOUSLY I LOVE ALL OF OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES. >> I JUST BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT I WAS YOUR FAVORITE COMMISSIONER. SORRY. WELL, THAT TOO. YOU'RE ONE OF MY SIX FELLOW FAVORITE COMMISSIONERS FOR SURE. >> TOP SIX THIS OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BACK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND SO I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT RESOURCES BECAUSE AS I REMEMBER OUR BUDGET CUTTING STRATEGIES AND AND BEEN PART OF OUR WORK TO REDUCE OUR STRUCTURAL DEFICIT WE CUT PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM OUR FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS LIKE HALF WE WE CUT IN HALF THE NUMBER OF STAFF SUPPORTING YOUTH WE CUT WE DECIMATED OUR TUTORING
SERVICES. WERE IT LIKE I JUST REALLY WANT TO REALLY POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE MADE SOME REALLY SIGNIFICANT CUTS TO THE SERVICES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. A QUESTION I HAD FOR ALL OF YOU I MEAN WHEN I WAS A FOSTER PARENT TRANSPORTATION FOR MY KID, YOU KNOW, TO VISITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WAS PROVIDED BY HCA NOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO TURN TO HCA FOR TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT? SO THAT'S ONE QUESTION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS IN HERE AND THANK YOU STAFF FOR THE RESPONSES BUT FRANKLY I'M GOING TO PUSH A LITTLE BIT HARDER THE THE RESPONSES I APPRECIATE THAT THEY ARE AGREEABLE TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS BUT I DON'T SEE ENOUGH SPECIFICITY IN HERE FRANKLY. I SEE YEAH, WE CAN WORK ON THAT SO I'D LOVE TO SEE US HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO MORE SPECIFICS OF DATES, DEADLINES, THINGS LIKE THAT AND JUST IN ORDER TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR FOSTER YOUTH.
AND AS FAR AS RECRUITING FOSTER PARENTS, I MEAN LIKE FRANKLY FOR ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING, THE WHOLE REASON I'M SITTING HERE ON THE BOARD STARTED WITH BECAUSE I BECAME A FOSTER PARENT. SO FOR ANYONE WHO I MEAN IF I DON'T THINK IT'S A GUARANTEE THAT IF YOU BECOME A FOSTER PARENT YOU'LL END UP ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND FRANKLY FOR SOME OF OUR I TRY TO READ THAT BECAUSE I KNOW FOR SOME OF OUR THAT WOULD NOT BE A RECORD WHERE THE OPPOSITE SO SORRY BUT I FOSTER PARENTING HAS BEEN THE BEST DECISION THAT MY HUSBAND AND I I'VE MADE IN OUR LIVES SO I JUST HAVE TO SAY WELL WORTH THE JOURNEY AND PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER IT TOO. ANY FAMILIES WHO DO HAVE A SPARE BEDROOM IN THE IN THEIR HOUSE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO IT'S IT'S AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY A OF A RIDE AS THEY SAY. >> SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE ESPECIALLY THANKS I'D LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON COMMISSIONER FISCHER'S QUESTION AROUND TUTORING IN PARTICULAR AND SOME OF THE STAFF RESPONSES.
THE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I SAW WAS ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR TUTORING AND MR. FISCHER INDICATED THAT THOSE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN CUT RATHER THAN ADDED AND THE STAFF RESPONSE IS JUST GENERICALLY THAT INDIVIDUAL SITES THAT OUR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS CAN USE THOSE FUNDS HOW THEY WANT AND SO TUTORING MAY BE ONE ALLOWABLE USE BUT I'M WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC PLANS IN THE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE COMING BEFORE US SOON TO INVEST DISTRICT FUNDS NOT SITE ALLOCATED FUNDS BUT DISTRICT ALLOCATED FUNDS TOWARD ADDITIONAL TUTORING SPECIFICALLY FOR FOSTER YOUTH OR OTHER LOCAL POPULATIONS WHO MAY NEED ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT. I SO I'LL LEAVE IT TO STAFF OF THE SUPERINTENDENT TO KICK US OFF HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO SO MANY THINGS I CAN TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET I WANNA I COULD TALK ABOUT TRANSPORTATION ONE OF THE QUESTIONS SO EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT REQUIRES WE HAVE A TRANSPORTATION SCHOOL STABILITY MOU A CHILD WELFARE WHICH WE DO AND IT ARTICULATES DIFFERENT WAYS WE COME TOGETHER AS A
SYSTEM OF CARE AROUND TRANSPORTATION. IT COULD BE THE RESOURCE PARENT THEY HAVE TECHNICIANS THAT SOMETIMES DO IT. WE HAVE CLIPPER CARDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY OF TRANSPORTATION IS A RELATED SERVICE IN THEIR IEP AND WE HAVE A SHARED AGREEMENT AROUND COST SHARING FOR TRANSPORTATION BUT DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO DO IT IN TERMS OF USING THE CURRENT TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER BECAUSE THE DISTRICT ONLY ALLOCATES $25,000 FOR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN TRANSPORTATION HSC DOES 25 SO WE'D ONLY HAVE REALLY $50,000 WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH TO MEET THE NEED TO DO THAT. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD YOU MENTIONED THE TEXT SO YES WE DO A LOT OF TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE A TEAM THAT DOES IT BUT WE'RE STRETCHED THIN AS WELL. SO THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN TRANSPORTATION IS ACTUALLY REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND SOMETHING THAT I'M HOPING TO CHAMPION LATER ON IN THE
YEAR BUT HAVING THE OPTIONS OF OTHER VENDORS IS KIND OF BEEN THE BIG HICCUP FOR US AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. SO JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON THE TRANSPORTATION, I KNOW THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMITTEE SHARED WITH ME WHEN I WENT TO TO THE THE BUDGET MEETING LAST YEAR ACTUALLY EVEN IN THIS YEAR WE WE TRANSPORTATION IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR US PARTICULARLY PARTICULARLY FOR FOR OUR FOSTER CARE YOUTH WHO LIVE SO FAR AWAY FROM THEIR HOME SCHOOL AND I KNOW THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAYS FOR US TO ADDRESS THAT BY TRYING TO GET HOME SCHOOL CLOSER OR GETTING SCHOOLS CLOSER GETTING THEIR RESOURCE FAMILIES CLOSER BUT WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE FOR TRANSPORTATION IT DOES MAKE IT REALLY HARD. I DO BELIEVE THAT PART OF I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WHERE PART OF THE REASON WHY TRUANCY AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IS UNFORTUNATELY
HIGH FOR OUR FOSTER CARE YOUTH IS BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. THEY ALSO HAVE TO GO TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT APPOINTMENTS AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT DOES INTERFERE WITH SCHOOL DAY TIMES AND MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO GET ALL OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS IN YOU KNOW, TAKEN CARE OF IN A DAY. I KNOW THAT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HSA AND EVEN WITH OUR OTHER CITY PARTNERS WE TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE . BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S STILL A HUGE PRESSURE FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND I THINK IF THAT'S IF THE BOARD IS ASKING FOR US TO INCREASE ALLOCATIONS TOWARDS TRANSPORTATION THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AS WE INCREASE ALLOCATION, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THAT ALLOCATION FROM ANOTHER PLACE. SO SO I THINK THAT THERE IS THERE IS THE REALITY OF OF SUCH A FINITE BUDGET. YEAH BUT I DO I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WE WE DON'T DO ENOUGH TO SUPPORT OUR FOSTER YOUTH AND THAT'S A COMBINATION OF REALLY UNDERSTANDING THEIR
NEEDS SO WHEN THEY ARE AT SCHOOL WITH US WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN PRIORITIZE WHAT THEY HOW TO SUPPORT THEM THROUGH THE SCHOOL DAY AND THAT'S A COMBINATION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AS WELL AS JUST WRAPAROUND WELLNESS AND AND PHYSICAL HEALTH TYPE SERVICES. I KNOW I KNOW A LOT OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH JUST A VARIETY OF ISSUES. THE ONE THING THAT I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE TALKING WITH WITH YOUNG PEOPLE I THINK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO OR A YEAR AGO AT THIS POINT WAS JUST THE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO TO HAVE ADULT EXPERIENCES. I REMEMBER YOUNG PEOPLE TALKING OF JUST BEING ABLE TO GO TO A CONFERENCE AND YOU WERE AMAZING AND SHARING ABOUT WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO BE TREATED AS AN ADULT, AS A RESPONSIBLE ADULT, HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO STAY IN A HOTEL ROOM AND LIKE A REAL NICE ONE, RIGHT? AND THEN AND AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO MORE OF THAT AND I THINK THAT WE COULD DO THAT THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR CBO PARTNERS WHERE WE CAN PARTNER WITH THEM ABOUT THESE
TYPES TO ENGAGE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AROUND THOSE TYPES OF OF CONFERENCES AND EXPERIENCES WHERE IT'S A COMBINATION OF OF ADVOCACY TO BECAUSE I THINK YOU WENT TO ADVOCATE FOR MORE MORE PROGRAMS BUT IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO LEARN LIFE SKILLS AND HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCES BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCES THAT WE WANT ALL OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AND HAVE A I DON'T KNOW DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT AND IF YOU KNOW YES WELL JUST JUST ABOUT THE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIKE FOR ENGAGING IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPERIENCES AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT THAT AS OF USD IS PROVIDED YEAH FOR SURE. >> I MEAN I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I MET MY MENTOR AND I MET ALL THE OTHER SCIENTISTS THERE AND I WAS KIND OF LIKE TAKEN ABACK LIKE WHOA LIKE SCIENTISTS ORANGE JUST LIKE PEOPLE HIDDEN AWAY WITH LAB COATS LIKE MIXING ALL THESE POTIONS TOGETHER. THEY BECAME REAL PEOPLE TO ME THAT I SPOKE WITH THAT I JOKED AROUND WITH THAT I GOT ADVICE FROM AND IT REALLY IMPACTED ME BECAUSE IT TAUGHT ME THAT LIKE
WELL LIKE IF I CAN DO SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS RIGHT NOW AS A HIGH SCHOOLER LIKE IMAGINE WHAT I CAN ACCOMPLISH WHEN I'M OLDER. IMAGINE WHAT I CAN DO WHEN I ENTER UNIVERSITY AND CONTINUE PURSUING A CAREER DOWN THE BIOLOGICAL LIKE STEM ROW LIKE IT REALLY EMPOWERED ME AND BUT NOT ONLY DID IT EMPOWER ME LIKE IT PAID ME TO LEARN IT GAVE ME THAT FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND THAT FINANCIAL SUPPORT THAT SO MANY FOSTER YOUTH NEED CRITICALLY BECAUSE AGAIN LIKE I MENTIONED IN MY ANSWERS A LOT OF FOSTER YOUTH HAVE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES ALL ON THEIR OWN AND THAT'S NOT FAIR. I KNOW A LOT OF FOSTER YOUTH WHO WANT TO WANT TO ATTEND THINGS LIKE PROM OR HOMECOMING DANCES BUT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ALL THE FANCY DRESSES TO PAY TO GET THEIR HAIR, THEIR MAKEUP DONE LIKE THEIR PEERS CAN AND THAT HEAVILY AFFECTS THE WAY THAT THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS A REGULAR YOUTH AND THEIR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS JUST A REGULAR YOUTH. SO I THINK HAVING MORE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE CAN INCENTIVIZED OUR YOUTH TO LEARN AND TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO
GAIN ALL OF THESE REAL WORLD SKILLS AND DIVERSE CAREER PATH IS SO VITAL AND SO IMPORTANT AND SOMETHING THAT I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST IN AND TAKE ME AS A TESTAMENT FOR. >> AND THEN I JUST WANT TO I KNOW PRESIDENT KIM YOU ASKED ABOUT FINANCIAL LITERACY AND THE THE CURRICULUM THAT THE STATE IS CONSIDERING TO ADD AS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT AND I KNOW THAT THROUGH A LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS WE ARE CURRENTLY PROVIDING THAT LEVEL OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR FINANCIAL LITERACY SUPPORTS TO STUDENTS BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE AND IT HAS TO BE STANDARDIZED AND I KNOW THAT OUR TEAM IS LOOKING INTO HOW WE CAN INTEGRATE FINANCIAL LITERACY INTO OUR ECON CLASS, OUR ECONOMICS CLASS SO THAT STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SO THAT THEY CAN START LEARNING HOW TO BALANCE THEIR CHECKBOOKS OR START SAVINGS ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE CRUCIAL CRUCIAL LIFE SKILLS
. >> AND I JUST FOR THERE'S A FOSTER YOUTH TAX CREDIT AND OUR AMAZING COUNSELORS WORKED TO CREATE CURRICULUM TO EMBED INTO FINANCIAL LITERACY THAT ANY FOSTER YOUTH WHO'S LISTENING IN OR MAYBE AT ONE POINT LATER ON ONCE THEY'RE 18 KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE THESE EXTRA FUNDS AVAILABLE. SO REALLY FROM A TIER ONE APPROACH THAT ALL STUDENTS HEAR ABOUT THE FOSTER YOUTH TAX CREDIT IN THEIR FINANCIAL AID LITERACY OR FINANCIAL LITERACY AND HOPEFULLY THEY ACCESS THAT WHEN THEY'RE FILING THEIR TAXES ONE DAY. I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER FISHER HAD A FINAL FOLLOW UP QUESTION I DID WANT TO ASK. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WAS AROUND YOU KNOW, IF THE IF THE BOARD WANTS TO SEE MORE INVESTMENTS IN TRANSPORTATION AS AN EXAMPLE, THEN ULTIMATELY THERE'S GOING TO I MEAN I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S GOING TO NEED TO BE A TRADEOFF SOMEWHERE IN THE BUDGET. >> I THINK WE'RE INTERESTED IN HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. I MEAN I THINK PART OF THE ASK THAT WE'RE WANTING TO SEE IS WHAT SO WHAT IS THAT TRADEOFF?
RIGHT? LIKE I AM ACTUALLY CURIOUS AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE ELSE IN OUR BUDGET WOULD WE NEED TO PULL OUT AND BE IMPACTING IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY SUPPORT OUR OUR LOCAL POPULATIONS RIGHT. SO I THINK THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY THE KIND OF CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN HAVING AND UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT CONCEPTUALLY TO TALK ABOUT. I MEAN I DON'T THINK ANYONE OF US I DON'T THINK WOULD DISAGREE WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S GOING TO NEED TO BE A TRADEOFF AT SOME POINT. BUT WHAT IS THAT TRADEOFF LIKE WHEN WHAT ARE THOSE OPTIONS TO CONSIDER AND I THINK PART OF SO THAT LED ME TO KIND OF THIS NEXT QUESTION OF LIKE HOW DO WE HOW THAT IS BUILT ON THIS. BUT I'M ACTUALLY COMING TO THIS REALIZATION NOW THAT THIS IS THE SECOND PRESENTATION OF OF AN ADVISORY COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE IS HOW DO WE ACTUALLY SITUATE OURSELVES SUCH THAT WHEN OUR ADVISORY COUNCIL AND COMMITTEES COME TO US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND WE NEED INCREASED FUNDING IN THIS OR WE
WANT MORE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS IN THIS AREA THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS A PART OF THE PRESENTATION WHERE IT'S NOT JUST A RECOMMENDATION BUT IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE BROUGHT FORWARD BY STAFF IN THE SUPERINTENDENT AROUND HEY WE MET WITH THE COMMITTEE BEFOREHAND, WE HEARD THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS DOABLE, THIS IS FEASIBLE, THIS IS NOT FEASIBLE ACTUALLY PRODUCING THE PLANS FOR WHAT WE WOULD DO TO FUND THAT OR RESOURCE THAT OR PIVOT OUR ENERGY TOWARDS THAT AND WHAT ARE THOSE TRADEOFFS BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS ACTUALLY A MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION TO HAVE ALONGSIDE OUR ADVISORY COUNCILS AROUND WHAT WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? RIGHT? BECAUSE I THINK MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE YOU FOR ANOTHER YEAR. RIGHT? AND AND SO IT BEGS THIS QUESTION WELL WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS NEXT YEAR? AND I THINK IN ALL OF OUR WONDERFULLY AGING MINDS WE WILL PROBABLY FORGET AND THIS IS THE
PART WHERE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THAT. RIGHT? SO I ACTUALLY THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ASK OURSELVES WHAT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR THIS PRESENTATION TO ACTUALLY BE GIVEN TO STAFF AND YOU IN ADVANCE WELL IN ADVANCE OF THIS MEETING WHERE THEN INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF HERE'S WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT IS SAYING IS GOING TO HAPPEN OR THE TRADEOFFS TO CONSIDER AS WE THINK ABOUT THAT. RIGHT. SO THAT THIS BOARD CAN GIVE GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION ON LIKE YEAH THIS FEELS SUPER ME AND THIS FEELS RIGHT OR WE CAN HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATION OF LIKE IS THIS THE RIGHT STRATEGY OR NOT RIGHT LIKE I THINK THAT WOULD BE A FASCINATING CONVERSATION TO HAVE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, I THINK THAT'S GREAT AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE RIGHT AS AS I'M ALSO TRYING TO PROCESS THESE CONVERSATIONS. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THESE THE ADVISORY CONVERSATIONS EARLIER IN THE BUDGET SO MUCH,
MUCH EARLIER. SO IF WE WERE TO START THIS PROCESS AND HEAR FROM OUR FAMILIES AS EARLY AS SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, THEN WE CAN START BUILDING THE BUDGET THAT WAY BECAUSE WE CAN START WITH FAMILIES FAMILIES NEEDS AND THEN WE CAN GO INTO SCHOOLS, RIGHT? SO TALKING TO OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN SAY NOVEMBER AND THEN WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO OUR FAMILIES THROUGH THE SUMMIT AT THE SCHOOL SITE SUMMIT IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY AS WE'RE BUILDING. WELL ACTUALLY IT HAS TO BE EARLIER BECAUSE WE'RE DONE. WE SHOULD BE DONE WITH OUR BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS BY JANUARY THREE. SO SO THAT MEANS WE DO MOVE OUR PRESENTATION TIMELINE MUCH, MUCH EARLIER IF WE WANT TO INTEGRATE ALL OF THESE VOICES AND FEEDBACK. >> YEAH RIGHT. I'M ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT SUGGESTION AND IT RELATES SOMETHING I WAS PLANNING TO ASK IN THE IN THE NEXT ROUND BUT THAT RELATES TO THIS I THINK WHICH IS I'M
WONDERING IF FOR ALL OF OUR PAC PRESENTATIONS LIKE ALL OF OUR ADVISORY COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES AND SO FORTH WE SHOULD INCLUDE IN SOME WAY AS PART OF THE PRESENTATION STRUCTURE THE DISCUSSION OR WHATEVER INFORMATION IS BEING ASSESSED A STUDENT OUTCOMES WITH RESPECT TO EACH OF OUR THREE GOALS AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM SO THAT WE ALSO IF WE CAN BE THEN DOING THAT AT THE SAME TIME AND BUILDING THOSE THINGS ALSO INTO THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS WE COULD BE CONCRETELY TYING THOSE THINGS TOGETHER AND WORKING THROUGH THEM THE ENTIRE YEAR INSTEAD OF TRYING TO COME AT THEM KIND OF FROM THE BACK END. BUT THAT THAT DOES REQUIRE US TO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS AND THAT'S EASIER FOR US TO KNOW IN SOME CASES THAN OTHERS. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS AN ADDITION SO THAT WE COULD BUILD WHAT WE'RE OSTENSIBLY FOCUSING ON WHICH IS STUDENT OUTCOMES INTO EVERY EVERY GROUP PRESENTATION AND WHATEVER FRAMEWORK WE END UP COMING UP WITH TO BUILD IT INTO THE BUDGET.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S GREAT AND AND I DON'T WANT TO VEER TOO FAR FROM THIS CONVERSATION SO I BUT YES AND I THINK THERE'S SOME CONVERSATION THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE PLACE IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR AD HOC COMMITTEE ON PROGRESS MONITORING THE SECOND BEST ONE TO COME FORWARD WITH THEIR CONVERSATION TODAY THAT WE CAN TALK THROUGH IN ADDITION TO SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT HULING AND I WITH STAFF AROUND GOVERNANCE CALENDAR AND THAT WE CAN KIND OF CONNECT ALL THE DOTS FOR SO YEAH SURE YEAH SO BECAUSE I'M USUALLY THE ONE WHO IS SO GOOD AT STAYING ON TASK AND BRINGING US BACK, I'LL TRY AND CLOSE THIS OUT HERE. I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE THOUGH OFFICIALLY TO ALL THE OTHER ADVISORY COMMITTEES I WAS BEING KIND OF FLIP WHEN MY NAMING OF THE FAVORITES BUT IT'S BECAUSE I I'M A MEMBER OF AIPAC AND I'M A MEMBER OF SPEED GEEK AND I'M A FORMER FOSTER PARENT SO THAT'S WHY I WAS BEING FLIP ABOUT THAT. SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE THE FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS AND THAT'S PART OF WHY I LIKE
THE SPEED CEC FOR EXAMPLE USED TO PRESENT IN SEPTEMBER AND THEN AGAIN IN MAY AND IT WAS STARTING OFF IT WAS THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE HAD AND IT WAS ALIGNING THE SPED CEC RECOMMENDATIONS WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE DISTRICT AND THEN IT WAS TEMPERATURE CHECK IN MAY. HOW DID WE DO AS A DISTRICT BASED ON WHAT THE SPED CEC WAS SEEING AND IS A SPED CEC MEMBER? I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT BUT MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION HERE REALLY YOU KNOW ABOUT THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT TO PUSH BACK PUSH BACK ON THE TRANSPORTATION PIECE. SO PRESIDENT KIM I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP. I THINK OF THIS KIND OF LIKE SPECIAL EDUCATION, SPECIAL EDUCATION, OUR BUDGET WHAT 88% OF OUR BUDGET I BELIEVE COMES FROM LOCAL DISTRICT SOURCES EVEN THOUGH 40% IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMING FROM THE FEDS AND A LOT OF I THINK ANOTHER 40% FROM THE STATE THAT THEY DON'T FUND US YET WE HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. WE HAVE LEGAL MANDATES AND I REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN OBLIGATION THAT WE HAVE.
WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS IN THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE AND THAT MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE ISN'T OOH TRANSPORTATION COSTS TOO MUCH. OH THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT FAIR OR RIGHT FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN RIPPED FROM EVERYTHING EVERY OTHER THING THAT THEY KNOW RIPPED OUT OF THEIR FAMILY, RIPPED OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO DENY THEM ACCESS TO THEIR SCHOOL. I'M SORRY, BUT THAT'S JUST MESSED UP. SO I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO PUSH BACK ON THAT. I THINK THAT THAT'S I THINK THERE'S COMPLIANCE ISSUES IF WE'RE SAYING THAT THE REASON WE'RE NOT KEEPING KIDS IN THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN IS BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD THE TRANSPORTATION HEY, THAT'S JUST MORALLY AND ETHICALLY WRONG TO ME. >> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO HAVE VICE PRESIDENT HILL AND CLOSES OUT AND THEN WE'LL TAKE YOU UP ON MUST GO FORTH. YES I'M SORRY THE LAST THING I WILL SAY THOUGH IS ALSO LIKE WE HAVE WE'RE NOT THE ONLY DISTRICT THAT HAS THIS ISSUE AND I THINK VERY OFTEN JUST FROM A RESOURCE STANDPOINT WE
THINK OF OURSELVES AS VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE. BUT I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF LEARNING AND BENCHMARKING WE COULD DO FROM OTHER AGENCIES THAT DO THIS WELL ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH HCA AND SURE I KNOW YOU HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ABOVE AND BEYOND ZOOM WHAT OTHER OPTIONS ARE OUT THERE? THANK YOU. I'LL HAVE I'LL HAVE YOU RESPOND TO ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO RESPOND TO SO FAR AND THEN I'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES AND HEAL AND CLOSES OUT. THANK YOU. I WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO SHARE HOW WE INVEST IN FOSTER YOUTH. WOULD THAT BE HELPFUL? >> SO OUR COUNTY OFFICE IS THE CORE FUNDING THE FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES COORDINATING PROGRAM THROUGH THE CDC AND THAT'S A SET FUNDING FORMULA BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS WE HAVE ON CENSUS DAY IN OUR DISTRICTS . >> AND SO WAY BACK BEFORE LCF FOR OUR DISTRICT REALLY BENEFITED FROM THE RESOURCES OF THE COUNTY OFFICE BECAUSE WE COULD SPEND IT ALL ON A DISTRICT. >> LCF CAME ALONG AND WE GOT MORE FUNDS WHICH WAS GREAT AND THEN THEY WERE GOING TO CUT THE COUNTY OFFICE PROGRAM BECAUSE THAT WAS A WHOLE POINT
OF LCF AND ADVOCATES ACROSS THE STATE SAID WAIT, THIS IS COMPLICATED AND YOU KNOW WE NEED TO HAVE THE ROLE OF THE COUNTY OFFICE AND THEY CHANGED THE FUNDING FORMULA AND WE LOST ABOUT $100,000 BECAUSE WE'RE ONE DISTRICT AND SO THAT'S WHERE COMMISSIONER FISHER WOULD HEAR ME TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT AND THEY'LL HAVE TASK FORCE SO WE CUT TUTORING, WE CUT STAFF AND WE NEVER AS A DISTRICT THEN SAID OH WELL WE ARE RELYING ON THE COUNTY OFFICE AND NOW THE DISTRICT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS. SO WE NEVER BALANCE THAT AND WE'VE GOTTEN CUTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO WE OUR PROGRAM GETS ABOUT 163,000 OF THE LCF F SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDS ABOUT 261,000 FROM THE CDE AND OUR BIGGEST INVESTORS HUMAN SERVICES WHO GIVES US $354,000 THIS YEAR. SO OUR BIGGEST SINGLE INVESTOR IS HUMAN SERVICES. SO THAT'S HOW WE AS A DISTRICT EARN FUNDED FOR OUR PROGRAM. >> I DON'T KNOW THERE ARE OTHER THINGS BUT I THINK WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT RESOURCE PARENT RECRUITMENT
YEAH I MEAN I'M ON THEIR RECRUITMENT WORKGROUP AT HSC BECAUSE I BELIEVE SO STRONGLY ON THIS AND THEY WILL COME WHEREVER THEY ARE GOING AFFAIRS YOU KNOW THEY'VE COME TO TABLE OUT EVENTS SO THEY HAVE THEY'RE REALLY COMMITTED TO THIS AND WILL HAVE INFORMATION AVAILABLE. THEY LOVE THE IDEA. ONE OF THEM WAS, YOU KNOW, GOING TO PTA OR ADVISORY MEETINGS OR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS. THEY'RE REALLY FLEXIBLE AND THEY WANT TO BE WHERE FAMILIES ARE. SO THEY'RE RIGHT THERE. >> SFH AS YOUR BACKSLASH FOSTERS THEIR WEBSITE AND YOU CAN DO BABIES WITH YOUR ONE BEDROOM REALLY? >> YEAH. I CARE FOR YOU IF YOU'RE LISTENING. DID YOU HEAR THAT? >> IT DOESN'T HELP WITH THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN BUT BABIES. >> INTERESTING. I HAVE SO MANY OTHER QUESTIONS AND THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT VENUE TO DO THAT IN BUT I WILL STEP REALLY FOLLOW UP THAT IS ACTUALLY SURPRISING AND IN NEWS TO ME BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD
THE OPPOSITE. BUT WE'LL TALK. THANK YOU. I YOU KNOW IN MY TIME ON THE BOARD I FEEL LIKE A COMMON THREAD. THERE ARE SO MANY COMMON THREADS AMONG MANY OF THE ADVISORY PRESENTATIONS AND SO WHILE THE VARIOUS ADVISORY COMMITTEES ARE, YOU KNOW, UPLIFTING THE CERTAIN CONCERNS OF THEIR CONSTITUENT GROUPS, IT'S REMARKABLE TO ME HOW MANY OF THOSE ADVISORY COMMITTEES HAVE SHARED PRIORITIES FOR WAYS THAT THE DISTRICT COULD MAKE INVESTMENTS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. AND SO WE HAVE I JUST WILL KIND OF UPLIFT WHAT I SAID LAST WEEK AT OUR BOARD MEETING WHERE WE ARE CANCELING OUR BUDGET STUDY SESSION TOMORROW BECAUSE WE NO LONGER NEED IT BECAUSE WE NO LONGER NEED AN FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN BECAUSE WE ARE SELF SET CERTIFYING AS POSITIVE BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ALL OF THESE KIND OF STRATEGIC PRIORITIES THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FUND THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE MANY THROUGH THREADS FROM OUR
VARIOUS ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND MANY FOLKS ASKING FOR THE SAME THINGS WHETHER IT'S INVESTMENTS IN TUTORING TO BRING STUDENTS UP TO SPEED OR INVESTMENTS IN LOWERING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM THAT THOSE THINGS ALL NEED TO BE REFLECTED IN OUR EL CAP AND SO REALLY THE CONVERSATION TO HAVE THAT IS AROUND THE PRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE COMING UP AND EVERYTHING THAT IS REFLECTED IN THE EL CAP WILL THEN END UP BEING BUDGETED FOR. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE COMMISSIONERS TO ASK QUESTION RELATED TO THE CAP AND PROVIDE THEIR FEEDBACK ARE ON THE EL CAP AND MAKE SURE THAT WE FEEL THAT IT'S ADEQUATELY MAPPING THE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND COMPLIANCE WITH OUR GUARDRAILS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SEE IN OUR BUDGET PRIORITIES. OKAY. SORRY JUST ONE ONE LAST THING. I MEAN JUST JUST A HEADS UP AND SOMETHING I HOPE WE'RE TRACKING IS AS I UNDERSTAND WITH THE LATEST CALIFORNIA BUDGET AND AGAIN THIS COULD CHANGE BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S
ONE TIME FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF 30 MILLION SPECIFICALLY FOR A FOR SUPPLEMENT TO SUPPLEMENT FEDERAL MCKINNEY VENTO GRANTS. SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE PERMANENT BUDGET BUT YOU KNOW, I HOPE AT LEAST THAT CAN HELP WITH SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT COMMISSIONER FISHER WAS RAISING OR WE SHOULD AT LEAST BE BE AWARE OF THAT AS A DISTRICT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR ALL THAT YOU DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. AND OUR FINAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE PRESENTATION IS FROM THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. ALI NANOTECH EAST ASHLAND IN NEEDS. DR. KING IN THERE. HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. MY NAME IS ISABELLE AND NOT LEAST I AM AN ARTIST AND EDUCATOR AND I'M ALSO A PARENT AND COMMUNITY COORDINATOR FOR THE TITLE SIX INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM.
AND HERE I'M JOINED BY TWO OF OUR VERY DEDICATED PARENTS. WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY OKAY, SORRY LEO SENTINEL VOU KETCHAM MALAYA I HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND HAPPY IN APRIL DR. JESSICA MOSHER TAKE PARKER PASCALL YAKI TRIBE OF ARIZONA. HELLO. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. RICO THOMPSON I'M AN ALONI NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. I'M A PARENT ALSO A WORKER HERE FOR THE CITY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> SO HERE ARE OUR NAMES WILL BE PRESENTING TODAY ABOUT OUR INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM WHICH IS LOCATED OUT OF SANCHEZ ELEMENTARY IN THE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURAL DISTRICT. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM. IN JANUARY OF 2021, THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION PASSED THE RECLAIMING THE AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKAN NATIVE NARRATIVE RESOLUTION
FORMALLY RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIGENOUS LED EDUCATION AND AFFIRMING A COMMITMENT TO RESTORE AND HONOR AMERICAN INDIAN NARRATIVES WITHIN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM AND ITS PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE ALSO KNOWN AS THE PAC ARE BOTH AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE AND A CULTURALLY GROUNDED COMMUNITY. WE OFFER DECADES OF MEANINGFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS COMING FROM SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF KNOWLEDGE. AND THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM REPRESENTS A SAFE AFFIRMING SPACE THAT FOSTERS BELONGING, IDENTITY AND SELF-DETERMINATION FOR OUR YOUTH. NEXT SLIDE. >> SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR STUDENTS THAT WE SERVE. WE HAVE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THAT ACCESS OUR SERVICES THAT COME FROM ALL KINDS OF TRIBAL BACKGROUNDS. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO MENTION BECAUSE NATIVE PEOPLE ARE NOT A MONOLITH. SO WE DON'T ALL WEAR HEADDRESSES.
WE DON'T ALL RIGHT. ON HORSES, ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE DEFINITELY DO. BUT HERE'S A MAP SHOWING A BIT OF THE DIVERSITY WITHIN OUR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT COME FROM ALL OVER TURTLE ISLAND INCLUDING SOUTH SOUTH OF THE BORDER AND LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT A MONOLITH OF PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE. PEOPLE COME TO OUR PROGRAM WITH ALL KINDS OF KNOWLEDGE FROM GENERATIONS AN ANCESTOR OF KNOWLEDGE AND YOU CAN VIEW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE TERRITORIES THROUGHOUT TURTLE ISLAND ON THIS WEBSITE THAT I LISTED NATIVE LAND. NEXT SLIDE. SO A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS OF ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS. WE HAVE A STUDENT TOTAL OF 798 INCLUDING THE CITY AND COUNTY SCHOOLS AND THROUGH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS SURVEY THAT WE SENT OUT IN JANUARY WE WERE ABLE TO COLLECT A LOT OF THIS DATA. SO WE DO HAVE ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE IEPS AND MIGHT HAVE DYSLEXIA OR ADHD OR ANY OTHER KINDS OF LEARNING DIFFERENCES THAT MIGHT NEED
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND ATTENTION. A LOT OF OUR POPULATION IS FOCUSED IN THE SOUTHEAST SECTOR OF THE CITY AND WE HAVE SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR T K THROUGH 12. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THAT CHART IT'S KIND OF EVENLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE GRADE LEVELS. NEXT SLIDE. >> SO SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR PROGRAM AND THE DIFFERENT SERVICES THAT WE OFFER. WE ARE OFTEN IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR SISTER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURAL DISTRICT, FRIENDSHIP HOUSE YOUTH PROGRAM AND NATIVE AMERICAN HEALTH CENTER AND TOGETHER WE WORK ON DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS. THIS SEMESTER WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF BEADWORK. WE ALSO DO LITERACY OUTREACH WHERE WE TAKE BOOKS BY NATIVE AMERICAN AND INDIGENOUS AUTHORS TO DIFFERENT EVENTS AND GIVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE TO OUR FAMILIES AND THOSE ARE BOOKS ALL THE WAY FROM BOARD BOOKS THAT ARE JUST SHOWING THE ALPHABET TO CHAPTER BOOKS AND NOVELS AND MEMOIRS
PROMOTING LITERACY AND INDIGENOUS VOICES. WE ALSO PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL TUTORING OUT OF THE CENTER AT SANCHEZ ELEMENTARY AND WE HAVE THE INDIAN EDUCATION LIBRARY THAT'S ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. SO NOW GETTING INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS. >> SO TO INCREASE THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN LITERACY AND MATHEMATICS FOR AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS THROUGH INCLUSIVE CURRICULUM DESIGN, CULTURAL RESPONSIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND TARGETED INTERVENTIONS I HAVE INCLUDED AN ILLUSTRATION HERE. SO HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF STUDENT ARTWORK FROM APPROPRIATED NAVAJO RUG. >> THE THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE CENTERED TO INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND NOT THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN RESULT ON GOOGLE. IT'S JUST MY BEST GUESS WITH THE LARGEST POPULATION NATIONWIDE OF 11 110 RECOGNIZED AND AROUND 70 UNRECOGNIZED
TRIBES THERE IS A WEALTH OF OPTIONS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. ONGOING ACADEMIC SERVICES TO TUTORING AFTERSCHOOL ENRICHMENT SUMMER PROGRAMS INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING SUPPORTS SO ALSO EXPANDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS FOCUSED ON INTEGRATING INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS SUCH AS TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND EQUITABLE TRAUMA. INFORMED TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES. SO BASED ON THE COUNTY'S OWN PHC PROP ONE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, THEY LIST THAT NATIVE AMERICANS ARE THE ONES IN NEED OF THE GREATEST NEED OF SERVICES TO THE COUNTY. BUT WE'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON HAVING THE EARLIEST INTERVENTIONS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON WORKING TO PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES NOT JUST FOR SERVICE, NOT JUST FOR US TO SURVIVE BUT TO THRIVE. ALSO WE BRING A POPULATION THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE BEST RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FORMALIZED SCHOOL SYSTEM SINCE
WE WERE KIDNAPED FROM OUR HOMES AND PLACED IN INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS. >> WE HAVE A VERY COMPLICATED HISTORY WITH FORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMS THAT WERE BUILT TO PROMOTE COLONIZATION VALUES AND NOT RECOGNIZE THE ORIGINAL SCIENTISTS OF THESE LANDS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. RECOMMENDATION TO CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND REPRESENTATION HIRE AMERICAN INDIAN PERSONNEL INCLUDING TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS. INCREASE ALL STAFF MEMBERS CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND AWARENESS RELATED TO AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLES INCLUDING THE LOCAL ALUMNI COMMUNITY AND CALIFORNIA TRIBAL NATIONS. REMOVE AND REPLACE HARMFUL STEREOTYPES IN TEXTBOOKS, CLASSROOM VISUALS, MASCOTS AND SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS WITH ACCURATE, RESPECTFUL AND AFFIRMING REPRESENTATIONS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> TO INTEGRATE INDIGENOUS HISTORIES AND CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCES ACROSS ALL CONTINENT AREAS USING VETTED AND COMMUNITY APPROVED
MATERIALS. ALSO WE PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES RECONNECTING TO THEIR TRIBAL CULTURE BY INCREASING VISIBILITY OF THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. INCREASE THE GRADUATION RATE AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ENROLLMENT OF AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS BY EMBEDDING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE ACADEMIC ADVISING AND MENTORSHIP AND RELEVANT COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELING BEGINNING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. >> THE PROCESS TO OBTAIN AN ADVANCED DEGREE IS DIFFICULT AND TO NAVIGATE HER FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS CITING MY OWN EXAMPLE MY PARENTS WORKED THREE DIFFERENT JOBS ENROLLING IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION BUT HAD NO IDEA HOW TO SUPPORT ME THROUGH MY JOURNEY. AS A RESULT, I LOST YEARS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IT ON MY OWN AND MY OWN. MY FIRST ACADEMIC COUNSELOR TOLD ME TO FILL OUT MY OWN CLASS SCHEDULE AND HE WOULD SIGN OFF ON IT BECAUSE I WAS AN ADULT.
WE NEED TO BUILD A CONTINUED COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT AROUND EDUCATION AS WE HAVE SINCE TIME IN MEMORIAL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE PROVIDE EARLY EXPOSURE TO CAREER PATHWAYS, JOB SHADOWING INTERNSHIPS AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION. ALIGNED WITH STUDENT IDENTITY AND STRENGTH SUPPORT COLLABORATION WITH AMERICAN INDIAN ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS ASIS, AMERICAN INDIAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CENTER, CALIFORNIA INDIAN NATIONS COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY STUDENT GROUPS TO GIVE EXPOSURE AND ASSISTANCE WITH SCHOLARSHIPS AND APPLICATIONS. AGAIN, TO USE MY OWN EXPERIENCE I GOT MY DOCTORAL DEGREE AT THE SAME UNIVERSITY MY PARENTS MET AS JANITORS AND SUCCESS FOR ME AT THE TIME LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE SITTING BEHIND A BIG DESK. I HAD NO ACCESS TO MENTORS WHO COULD EXPLAIN WHAT MY CAREER OPTIONS WERE. I SPENT MOST MOST OF MY TIME AND FORTUNATELY FOCUSED ON WHAT I COULD NOT DO INSTEAD OF WHAT I COULD DO AS A FEUERSTEIN NEEDS TO FORMALIZE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH AMERICAN IN ALASKA NATIVE ORGANIZATIONS ALONGSIDE REAL ASSISTANCE WITH SCHOLARSHIPS AND APPLICATION FEES, WORK OUT WAIVER AGREEMENTS OR EVEN FEE REDUCTIONS WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES THAT BUILD ON THE U.S. AS NATIVE AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY PLAN AND ALSO I LIKE THE IDEA OF ATTENDING CONFERENCES EARLIER SETTING STUDENTS TO CONFERENCES THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WE CAN BUILD OFF OF ALSO. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. RECOMMENDATION NUMBER FOUR FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT . STRENGTHEN PARENTS AND FAMILY PARTICIPATION THROUGH ACCESSIBLE CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES SUCH AS TALKING CIRCLES, INCLUSIVE AND APPROPRIATE COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY LED WORKSHOPS TO ENSURE CONSISTENT COLLABORATION WITH THE INDIAN EDUCATION PACT FOR THE CO-DESIGN AND REVIEW OF PROGRAMS POLICIES AND CIRCULAR THAT AFFECT I AND AND STUDENTS . NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> TO PROMOTE CENTRALIZED
COMMUNICATION REGARDING RESOURCES AND EVENTS RELEVANT TO INDIAN EDUCATION COMMUNITY NEEDS AND INTERESTS THROUGH ACCESSIBLE MEANS SUCH AS SOCIAL MEDIA AND WHATSAPP. YEAH. >> OKAY SO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM INCLUDING ITS PHYSICAL CENTER PROGRAM FUNDING AND KEY STAFF POSITIONS MINIMUM OF TWO COORDINATORS RECOGNIZES ITS CRITICAL ROLE AS A CULTURAL ACADEMIC AND WELLNESS HUB. ALSO MAINTAIN A DEDICATED DISTRICT SUPPORT AND FUNDING FOR WRAPAROUND SERVICES INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, TRADITIONAL HEALING SERVICES, CULTURAL SERVICES AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PRACTICES ROOTED IN INDIGENOUS VALUES. I WILL POINT OUT THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS GRAPHICS PUBLISHED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION ARE REPORTED TO BE OR UNDERSTOOD TO BE UNREPORTED ACCORDING TO CURRENT ASSEMBLY BILL 1581 WHICH ESTIMATES THAT IT COULD BE AS AS HIGH AS 70% UNDERREPORTING. SO REALLY ARE NEEDS ARE
EXPANDING AND NOT DIMINISHING BASED ON THE NUMBERS REPORTED. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. WE NEED TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY TO THE INDIAN EDUCATION PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGARDING IMPORTANT CHANGES AND DECISIONS THAT WOULD IMPACT AMERICAN INDIAN STUDENTS. AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, THE SRF USD BOARD RESOLUTION NUMBER 211 DASH 20 6A1 LISTED THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT TAKING THE DAY OFF FOR CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN DAY CELEBRATED IN SCHOOL EXERCISES AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. I WILL POINT OUT THAT THIS HOLIDAY AND ACTUALLY ALL OF OUR HOLIDAYS ARE ABSENT FROM THE DISTRICT WIDE CALENDAR FOR THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR. AND THAT THIS THE AWARENESS OF OUR EXISTENCE IN THIS PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO OUR FUNDING ACCORDING TO THE INDIAN EDUCATION ACT OF 1972. AND AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION FROM OUR OUR FAMILIES IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR
FUNDING IS REALLY BASED ON. ON THE FEDERAL SIDE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING AND FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. AND THANK YOU TO OUR TWO PARENTS FOR PRESENTING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS FOR COMMISSIONER GUPTA. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND BEING HERE FOR ALL OUR OUR PACKS REALLY ON THIS EVENING. I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE IN THIS QUESTION IS INTENDED FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM DISCREPANCY AS I SEE IN THE DOCUMENT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THE LINK THAT'S PROVIDED LINKS TO A CHART THAT SHOWS THE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM OF ABOUT 60 ABOUT TWO THIRDS 65% IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT IS THE EXACT K THROUGH 12 APS ABSENT
THE T SORRY WHAT IS THE SPECIFIC CULTURALLY GROUNDED WRAPAROUND OR ATTENDANCE INTERVENTION STRATEGIES THAT ARE BEING DEVELOPED TO TARGET THE UNIQUE DRIVERS FOR OUR AMERICAN INDIAN ALASKAN NATIVE POPULATION? THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS RELATED TO OH GOSH SORRY EARLY CAREER EXPOSURE CAPACITY AND THE PRESENTATION REQUEST EARLY EXPOSURE TO JOB SHADOWING CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION. I BELIEVE THE STAFF RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE AN INVITATION TO COORDINATORS TO COUNSELOR DAY TO BUILD AWARENESS AND I'M CURIOUS BEYOND JUST COORDINATING BETWEEN STAFF MEMBERS, ARE THERE DIRECT PATHWAYS THAT ARE BEING CREATED FOR OUR STUDENTS TO ACCESS INTERNSHIPS OR CTE PROGRAMS? UM YES. SPECIFIC TO ALASKAN NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN MR. FISHER THANK YOU VERY MUCH FIRST OF ALL FOR ALLOWING US TO LIVE ON YOUR HOMELANDS. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STEWARDSHIP. WE APPRECIATE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY, UM, ONE OF THE
THROUGH LINES I THINK WE'RE HEARING TONIGHT AND WE KEEP HEARING FROM A LOT OF THROUGH LINES A LOT OF THE SAME JUST IN WITH THE WITH A MORE UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUALIZED PERSPECTIVE. YOU KNOW WE KEEP HEARING CULTURALLY RELEVANT MATERIALS. WE KEEP HEARING STAFF TRAINING . WE KEEP HEARING MORE INTERVENTION SUPPORTS LIKE TUTORING, MORE COLLEGE ACCESS AWARENESS SUPPORT. UM SO AGAIN I MENTIONED TARGETED UNIVERSALISM EARLIER BUT I THINK REALLY I'D LIKE TO MY QUESTIONS ARE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT REALLY ABOUT TO TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER ASKED EARLIER YOU KNOW WHERE ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS IN THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS AND THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE PROVIDING TO FAMILIES IN THE UPCOMING BUDGET AND AND TO VICE PRESIDENT HULING. QUESTION LIKE THAT THE EL CAP IS A VERY DENSE, VERY DENSE DOCUMENT. I THINK WE MIGHT NEED SOME TRAINING ON HOW TO READ IT. YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO
A SESSION IT'S LIKE IT'S FOLLOWING IT IS A BEAST FOR SURE BUT NOT TO STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE ORIGINAL QUESTION BUT LIKE RESOURCE ALLOCATION I THINK REALLY HOW ARE WE TIGHTENING UP OUR RESPONSES TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS? TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, AS I ASKED PREVIOUSLY AND REALLY PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE ASKS NOT JUST OH THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD DO, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON BUT REALLY ADDRESSING THE SPECIFIC ASKS OF OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE WITH SOME TARGETED FOLLOW UP SUPPORT AND RESOURCES COMMISSIONER RIGHT NOW I WAS JUST GOING AROUND I'M SORRY. YEAH. MICHELLE CAN Y'ALL I'LL JUST SAY THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN AROUND THE BUDGET IN RESOURCES AND AND IF IT'S I TOTALLY THAT COULD BE REFLECTED IN THE EL CAP AS WELL I MEAN I DON'T TO ME THE TECHNICAL POINT OF WHETHER IT'S IN THE EL CAP OR THAN AND OR REFLECTED IN THE
BUDGET HOWEVER WE WANT TO COMMUNICATE THAT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE COMMUNICATED IN A WAY THAT'S VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC. THE EL CAP AS A TECHNICAL DOCUMENT FOR THE STATE IS OFTEN VERY DETAILED. I THINK WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE VERY CLEAR AND LINK PRIORITIES THAT ARE LINKED TO OUR GOALS RIGHT BECAUSE THE EL CAP OFTEN ALSO HAS OTHER REQUIREMENTS. I MEAN I THINK FOR FOR THIS BOARD WE'VE BEEN REALLY CLEAR ACADEMIC OUTCOMES IS OUR PRIORITY AND SO WE HAVE THREE GOALS HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCREASE PROGRESS TOWARD THOSE CORE STUDENT OUTCOMES RELATIVE TO THOSE GOALS AND THAT PARTICULARLY INCLUDES THESE GROUPS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AT THAT LEVEL YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE KIDS LEARNING TO READ, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE KIDS LEARNING MATH AND EIGHTH GRADE COLLEGE AND CAREER, ETC. SO SO YEAH, I MEAN IT'S TO ME IT'S LIKE LET'S JUST ASK IT SIMPLY AND AS WE GO INTO THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO BE ABLE TO
SEE WHERE ARE THOSE TARGETED INVESTMENTS AND AND AND THE OTHER THING IS THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT WHAT WHAT ISN'T WORKING AND WHAT WE'RE NOT DOING BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IN THESE PRESENTATIONS NOT NECESSARILY IN THIS ONE IN THE STAFF RESPONSES IS THERE'S A LONG LIST OF THINGS WE'RE DOING. IT'S LIKE OH WELL WE'RE ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WE'VE THROWN SPAGHETTI AT THE WALL. I THINK WHAT THIS BOARD IS ASKING FOR IS TARGETED INVESTMENTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK AND ARE EFFECTIVE BASED ON DATA, ALSO BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM OUR ADVISORIES LIKE THAT'S THEY'RE GIVING US THIS IS ALSO DATA VERY IMPORTANT DATA ON LIVED EXPERIENCE OF FAMILIES AND STUDENTS SO AND I SUPPORT THE THE RECOMMENDATIONS EARLIER OF MOVING THESE EARLIER BUT I THINK EVEN THIS YEAR IN THE BUDGET WE NEED TO SEE SOME EVIDENCE THAT THAT THESE THAT THERE'S A STRATEGY HERE RIGHT HOPEFULLY THEN IT IS ADJUSTED NEXT YEAR BASED ON ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK BASED ON MOVING THE TIMING BUT WHAT'S OUR BASELINE WHAT'S OUR STRATEGY FOR ENSURING THAT ALL OF OUR MOST
MARGINALIZED STUDENTS ARE GETTING SUPPORT SO THAT THE SO THAT OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES IMPROVE? I'LL JUST ECHO WHAT ALEXANDER SAID AND IF YOU KNOW IF THE SUPERINTENDENT WANTS TO PUT IN THE MULTI YEAR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR THAT WE EXPECT TO SEE IN A SOON UPCOMING BOARD MEETING A CHANGE FOR WHEN THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS PRESENT TO BETTER ALIGN WITH BUDGET DEVELOPMENT I THINK THAT YOU KNOW FOR LEADERSHIP WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT. WE WANT TO ENSURE COHERENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM FOLKS AT THE TIMES THAT IT CAN MOST IMPACT OUR DECISIONS AROUND INVESTMENTS. BUT I ALSO SAY THAT ALTHOUGH THE GOVERNOR IS STILL PROPOSING TO WITHHOLD 3.9 BILLION OF PROP 98 FUNDS FROM SCHOOL DISTRICTS DOWN FROM PROPOSED WITHHOLDING OF 5.6 BILLION BUT STILL I THINK UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. THAT IS THERE IS ADDITIONAL MONEY IN THE MAY REVISE FROM
WHAT WAS BUDGETED FOR IN JANUARY BUDGET DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE ORIGINAL GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET. SO I WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS AND SEEING HOW WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THAT MONEY TO MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES AND AGAIN SEE THAT RECOMMENDATION ONE HERE AROUND ONGOING ACADEMICS SERVICES INCLUDING TUTORING AFTERSCHOOL ENRICHMENT IS AGAIN VERY ALIGNED WITH WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM MANY OF OUR COMMUNITIES ASKING FOR. AND SO IF WE CAN USE THOSE EXTRA FUNDS TO INVEST IN THOSE PROGRAMS TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON OUTCOMES, I THINK NOW IS OUR MOMENT TO DO THAT. SO SO I'M GOING TO STICK WITH MY THEME ABOUT REPRESENTATION MATTERS AND GOING BACK TO TO RECOMMENDATION TWO IN TERMS OF THE HIRING AND SO WE'VE NOW TALKED ABOUT THIS MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY AND THE PAST TWO MEETINGS EVERY SINGLE ONE. BUT I'M ACTUALLY WONDERING TO YOU, DR. SUE, IN THE SPIRIT OF
SORT OF GENERAL DISTRICT AND BOARD ACCOUNTABILITY AND ALSO GETTING INFORMATION, WOULD THIS BE SOMETHING WHERE YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE VICE PRESIDENT A FEW THINGS SUGGESTION AND MAYBE ADJUSTING GOVERNANCE CALENDARS BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT LIKE BOARD BRIEFINGS ON H.R. AND SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE'RE IN THESE MOMENTS OF OF HIRING AND WHEN WHATEVER MAPS ON TO WHATEVER PROGRAMS ARE STARTING AT S.F. STATE OR WHATEVER WHATEVER PIPELINE WE OR RECRUITING ACTIVITIES ARE CAN WE BE BRIEFED SPECIFIC QUICKLY ON WHAT ARE WE DOING TO RECRUIT FOLKS SO THAT THERE IS REPRESENTATION IN SCHOOLS SO THERE IS A SHORT LIST OF STUDY SESSION REQUESTS FOR TOPICS AT IT. ONE OF THEM IS STAFFING AND SO IN ADDITION TO SPECIAL EDUCATION ENROLLMENT LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, COACHING MTC, RTI MAYBE I'LL JUST THROW AN AL CAP ON THERE JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE BUT IT IS ON OUR LIST OF KIND OF A STUDY SESSION OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DIG DEEP IN JUST UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING WHAT THE CURRENT STATE IS. >> THAT'S GREAT AND I THINK
WHAT THE CURRENT STATE IS BUT THEN BRINGING BACK THIS VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT H.R. AND STAFFING AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE AN EDUCATOR IN EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM ETC. BUT THIS IS THIS IS THAT AND WHO IS THAT EDUCATOR AND WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND THAT THE REPRESENTING AND CAN OUR STUDENTS ENGAGE AND RELATE TO THEM. SO IT'S SORT OF THAT ADDITIONAL PIECE THAT I, I THINK COULD EASILY GET LOST IF WE'RE JUST FOCUSING ON MAKING SURE THAT JUST WE NEED TO FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE FOLKS IN THE CLASSROOMS BUT ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE RECRUITING THE FOLKS THAT WE WANT TO MY FOLLOW UP DID YOU WANT TO SAY OKAY, WELL BEFORE I DO THAT I WANT TO GO BACK TO COMMISSIONER RAY AND THEN I WAS HOPING TO ASK THE PAC AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND SPENDING YOUR TIME TO TALK WITH US. WHAT THERE ARE A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS HERE AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL OF THIS INCORPORATED INTO AN ONGOING TRACKER AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED OR SHOWN ELSEWHERE SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHICH RECOMMENDATIONS
THE STAFF THINKS ARE FEASIBLE AND WHAT THE STATUSES IS OF VARIOUS RECOMMENDATION PLANS AND SO FORTH. THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD BE DOING THAT FOR FOR OUR VARIOUS PACS. BUT WHETHER OR NOT THE RECOMMENDATION SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN YOUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT OR NOT, I'M WONDERING WHAT YOU THINK WOULD BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE DRIVERS OF IMPROVING OUTCOMES AND REDUCING ABSENTEEISM LIKE IMPROVING ATTENDANCE FOR STUDENTS. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS BEING THE MOST CRITICAL FACTORS TO MOVING THE NEEDLE THERE? THE CONVERSATION IS BEING AGAIN AROUND CENTERED ON THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE EXPERIENCE IF THEY LEARN MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES THEY'LL BE MORE ATTUNED TO THE CONVERSATION. A LOT OF THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT AMERICAN INDIANS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW OFTEN SURPRISES ME EVEN AT THE RECENT YOU KNOW AT THE CONGRESSIONAL LEVEL THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE THAT WHEN THE LEADER WAS WAS WAS LIKE OH, THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF TRIBES IN CALIFORNIA AND HE'S LEARNING ON THE SPOT, YOU KNOW, AND HE WAS VERY OPEN AND ASKED WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW.
BUT I FEEL LIKE OUR HISTORY AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER IS NOT REALLY COVERED IN CURRICULUM AT ANY EXTENT OR MEANINGFUL WAY AND WE NEED TO KIND OF OVERRIDE THE PAST HISTORIES OF LIKE THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY. COLUMBUS CAME HERE AND WE ALL HAD A WONDERFUL DINNER TOGETHER AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND HOW WE CAN KEEP THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE SO REALLY ACTIVATE THEM AS FAR AS WHAT THEY CAN DO, YOU KNOW, TO REALLY GET CHANGE THE HISTORY IN A GOOD WAY, YOU KNOW, MAKE OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS MORE RESILIENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SO THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS OUR SPECIFIC NEEDS AND IN REAL WAYS LIKE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND NOT JUST KIND OF IN THE BACK OF A ROOM WITH THEIR HAND RAISE HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL TAKE ON THEIR THEIR WELL HERO, YOU KNOW, REALLY THEIR NEEDS AND THEY CAN DO IT THEMSELVES. >> I JUST WANT TO ADD TO TO WHAT JESSICA SAID THAT LIKE SHE MENTIONED, THERE'S A LOT OF
TRAUMA IN HISTORY WITH OUR STUDENTS AND HOW COLONIALISM HAS AFFECTED OUR FAMILIES. SO I WOULD HIGHLIGHT THE CULTURAL COMPETENCY IS REALLY IMPORTANT HAVING TEACHERS AND HAVING STAFF AND ADULTS THAT THESE KIDS CAN LOOK TO AND SEE US SEE THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING AND OUR ACTIVELY ASKING QUESTIONS AND TRYING TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT IS NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY BECAUSE IT'S NOT COOKIE CUTTER OR ONE ONE STORY TO BE TOLD. >> SO I FEEL LIKE UM ESPECIALLY WITH ISSUES OF CLIMATE CHANGE THAT ARE COMING UP, IT'S IMPORTANT TO VIEW OUR COMMUNITY AS A RESOURCE AND NOT NOT JUST TO BE EXTRACTED FOR INFORMATION BUT WE'RE HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE YOUTH AS ARE OUR FUTURE UM AND US HERE AND WE'RE TIED INTO A LARGER COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE UM IS LIVING KNOWLEDGE THAT WE WANT TO SHARE UM AND WE NEED TO PROMOTE FOR OUR YOUTH. MR. GUPTA DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING AND IF NOT THEN GIVE
IT TO COMMITTEE OFFICIALS. OKAY. IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW BOTH OF THOSE, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK. UM, I THINK MY MY FINAL QUESTION IS AS WE TALK ABOUT DOING MORE STUDY SESSIONS OR HAVING A DASHBOARD OR REALLY DIGGING INTO THE DATA AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS, I, I WANT TO POINT OUT I THINK THIS IS TRUE FOR MANY OF OUR FOCAL POPULATIONS BUT PARTICULARLY ARE INDIGENOUS OR NATIVE AMERICAN OR ALASKAN INDIAN AND SO MANY OF OUR FOCAL POPULATION AS THEY END UP BEING NOT TO NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS WHEN WE LOOK AT DATA AT THE SCHOOL SITE LEVEL OR THE DISTRICT LEVEL WE DON'T HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH POPULATION TO ACTUALLY SEE THEIR DATA AND THAT IS HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC . WE SEE IT IN THE HPI COMMUNITY ,WE SEE IT IN FOSTER YOUTH VERY OFTEN IN MIGRANT TO NAME
SOME OF THE POPULATION SPECIFICALLY WHO WERE HERE TONIGHT. BUT WE'VE WE CAN'T JUST RELY ON THE DATA DASHBOARDS AND THOSE LITTLE ASTERISKS OR THE ENDS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DIGGING IN AND SEEING THE STUDENTS BEHIND THE DATA TO. SO I WOULD CHALLENGE US AS A GROUP TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT ALL THE DATA WE NEED IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DATA DRIVEN IN OUR DECISIONS AS WELL. SO THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT SUE DO TO RESPOND. >> YES. OH YES. I'M GOING TO DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CLICK ON THE EL CAF STUDY SESSION. I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC IDEA. I KNOW THAT THE PARENTS PARENTS WORK REALLY HARD THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. I'M BUILDING THE EL CAP COMING TOGETHER, TALKING ABOUT IT, HAVING SOME REALLY FIERCE CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT GOES INTO THE EL CAP AND WHAT IS IS IS PRIORITIZE WHAT'S NOT PRIORITIZED SO I AM REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT AS PERHAPS DOING A STUDY SESSION OF THE EL CAP BEFORE THE BUDGET BECAUSE AS AS THE BOARD HAS HAS SAID WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAP THE GOALS OF THE EL CAP TO AND CONNECTED TO OUR VISION VALUES GOALS AND GUARDRAILS WHICH THEN GETS CONNECTED TO OUR BUDGET AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I THINK GOAL ONE OF THE EL CAP IS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WHICH FALLS RIGHT IN LINE WITH OUR VISION VALUES, GOALS AND GUARDRAILS WHICH FALLS IN LINE WITH OUR GOALS ONE, TWO AND THREE AND I BELIEVE IN A GO BY AND WE LOOK AT CHRISTINA THERE BUT I BELIEVE ONE OF THE GOALS THE OTHER GOALS IN THE EL CAP IS SERVING THE WHOLE CHILD AND THEN ANOTHER GOAL OF THE EL CAP IS HAVING HIGH QUALITY CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION SO THAT WE ARE TEACHING CHILDREN TOWARDS 21ST CENTURY LEARNING AND THEN OF COURSE THERE IS A DESIRE FOR US TO BE AN EQUITABLE DISTRICT AND AN
ANTI-RACIST DISTRICT. SO THESE ARE THESE ARE THE GOALS THAT FAMILIES AND OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ASKING US TO HOLD AND THAT THOSE ARE THE GOALS THAT BUILD OUR EL CAP. SO IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GREAT. I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT STUDY SESSION AND AND THEN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR JESSICA FOR FOR BRINGING UP THE IMPORTANCE OF OF MAKING SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OUR HISTORY PARTICULARLY OF NATIVE AMERICANS AND ACTUALLY AND NATIVE AMERICANS ARE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE TARGET THE POPULATION WITHIN OUR ETHNIC STUDIES CURRICULUM AS WELL AS SOCIAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM. SO IT'S IT'S IT'S ALREADY IT'S INTEGRATED BUT I HEAR YOU IN TERMS OF WE NEED TO DO MORE WE NEED TO CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY MORE AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO TO LIFT UP ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT POPULATION. BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT AND LET'S SEE WE TOOK NOTES. I TOOK A LOT OF NOTES. UH, YES, WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR OUR PIPELINE. PIPELINE PIPELINE PIPELINE. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BUILD THE PIPELINE AND AS
I'M TAKING NOTES HERE, YOU KNOW THE BEST WAY TO BUILD A PIPELINE IS TO TO SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN AND OUR STUDENTS TO SEE THEMSELVES AS LEADERS HERE IN THE DISTRICT. SO HOW DO WE BUILD THE PIPELINE HERE BECAUSE THE PIPELINE STARTS HERE. THE FUTURE EMPLOYEES OF SFI USD STARTS WITH OUR STUDENTS, STARTS WITH OUR FAMILIES, STARTS WITH OUR CAREGIVERS. SO I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND OF COURSE OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE DO THAT. I DO KNOW THAT ON THE CITY SIDE TO THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AND WITH CITY COLLEGE THERE'S ALREADY A GROWING COALITION AND PARTNERSHIP AROUND INTERNSHIPS AND AND DUAL DUAL ENROLLMENT AND I KNOW THAT PART OF THAT PIPELINE IS IS A TEACHER PATHWAY PIPELINE BUT WHAT IF WE WERE REALLY SELECTIVE AND SAID WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD A PIPELINE FOR TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS WHO LOOK LIKE OUR STUDENTS AND AND IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN SAY 510 YEARS TIME
WHERE WE HAVE A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT REALLY REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF OUR OF OUR STUDENTS. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO TO THAT AND YES, CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IS DEFINITELY A A HUGE AND GROWING PROBLEM THAT WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER ON AND I FOR SURE I DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO THAT . ALL I KNOW IS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO KEEP TACKLING IT. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE DATA IN OUR FACE SO THAT WE ARE EMBARRASSED BY IT AND SO THAT WE CAN DO MORE TO TO ADDRESS AND FIX IT. AND SO I CAN I COMMIT TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS OUR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATE. SO ANYTHING THAT UM THAT YOU I WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE HERE BEFORE WE WRAP UP. >> YES. ONE RECOMMENDATION THAT WOULD BE THE MOST URGENT AND WOULD COST YOU NOTHING WOULD BE TO ADD CALIFORNIA NATIVE AMERICAN DAY TO THE DISTRICT'S CALENDAR. I KNOW YOU GUYS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WOULDN'T GIVE THE DAY OFF BUT YOU WOULD HAVE IN CLASS ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY EVENTS TO ACTUALLY SEE THAT HAPPEN. AND I PUT MY DAUGHTERS BOTH IN RIBBON SKIRTS ON THAT DAY
YOU WERE AT THEIR SCHOOL THAT DAY ALSO FOR RIBBON CUTTING AND UH BEYOND BEING IN PICTURES LIKE THERE WASN'T WITH THEM IN THEIR SKIRTS LIKE I DIDN'T REALLY HEAR OF ANY ACTUAL ACTIVITIES HAPPENING OR ANY EVENTS OF THAT ON CAMPUS SO ENCOURAGING STUDENT YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS TO TO ENGAGE IN THOSE ACTIVITIES WOULD BE GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. UM I ANY I THINK THAT'S IT THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP CHUCK CORY TESSIER UM WE'RE MOVING TO ITEM G DISCUSSION ITEM ONE RECOMMENDING FROM THE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON PROGRESS MONITORING. I AM ABOUT TO TURN THIS OVER TO THIS CHAIR THE SECOND BEST COMMITTEE AT AD HOC AND WHAT I JUST WE ARE HUDDLING A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THIS BUT I'M GOING TO ASK WE DO THIS IS A DISCUSSION ITEM. THIS IS NOT AN ACTION ITEM SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE NEED TO VOTE ON MOST OF THE NEXT STEPS ACTUALLY ARE JUST THINGS THAT WE WILL JUST DO. THERE'S NO NEED TO ACT ON IT
PER SE BUT WE'RE HOPING TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO IN SOME WAYS LIKE PROCESS TOGETHER MAKE SENSE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, INTERNALIZE THEM SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED FOR WHAT IS TO COME AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS CLARIFYING QUESTIONS OR OTHERWISE WE CAN ASK THAT TO THIS HALF OF THE ROOM UM AND WANTED TO GIVE THE FLOOR TO THE CHAIR TO BE ABLE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THEY GOT HERE AND WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE THE CHAIR OF THE SECOND BEST AD HOC COMMITTEE AND ALTHOUGH THE COMMITTEE MAY BE VIEWED BY THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM AS SECOND BEST, IT WAS ACTUALLY THE MOST STUDENT CENTERED AD HOC COMMITTEE AND SO WE'RE PROUD OF THAT FACT HERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM MYSELF AS CHAIR VICE PRESIDENT EWING AND COMMISSIONER RAY AND IT WAS IT WAS GREAT TO WORK ALONGSIDE THEM AND OUR STAFF FOR THIS WHOLE PROCESS. OUR CHARGE WAS REALLY TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR HOW TO MAKE PROGRESS MONITORING MORE EFFECTIVE PROGRESS MONITORING FOR THOSE WHO ARE LISTENING WHO DON'T KNOW IS A REALLY KEY PART OF THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE PROCESS. ESSENTIALLY THE WAY THE PROCESS WORKS IS THAT THE BOARD SETS GOALS ACADEMIC GOALS THAT ARE FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES, RIGHT? AND WE HAVE OUR THREE GOALS THIRD GRADE LITERACY, EIGHTH GRADE MATH AND COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY THINGS THAT WE EXPECT STUDENTS TO LEARN BUT THOSE ARE THREE BENCHMARKS WE'VE SET AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR ON A FREQUENT BASIS. WE ALSO HAVE OUR GUARDRAILS WHICH EXPRESS THE VALUES OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WE ALSO MONITOR THOSE. AND SO THE PROGRESS MONITORING MEETINGS ARE A WAY FOR US TO ASSESS PROGRESS, HOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT ACCOUNTABLE AS THE LEADER OF THE DISTRICT TOWARD THAT PROGRESS. SO SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE BASICALLY WENT THROUGH AN ANALYSIS AS A COMMITTEE AND ANALYZED WELL FIRST WE
LOOKED AT WHAT IS GOOD PROGRESS MONITORING FROM AND THIS IS A FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED BY THE COUNCIL OF GREAT CITY SCHOOLS AND IT'S NOW BEEN USED BY BY DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND SO FIRST WE SAID WHAT IS GOOD PROGRESS MONITORING LOOK LIKE IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS SYSTEM? WHAT'S SORT OF THE GOLD STANDARD OF SUCCESS AND THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW? AND WE CONDUCTED A GAP ANALYSIS ESSENTIALLY AND THEN WE CAME UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT WHAT IS GOOD PROGRESS MONITORING AND YOU'LL SEE THIS ON THE DOCUMENT THAT'S THAT'S ON BOARD DOCS THE RECOMMENDATION DOCUMENT WHEREAS UNDER THE OVERVIEW SECTION THERE ARE THREE KEY BENEFITS OF PROGRESS MONITORING THAT AJ KRAYBILL TALKED WITH US ABOUT IN OUR FIRST COMMITTEE MEETING THAT I THINK ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO REMEMBER AS A BOARD. >> NUMBER ONE PROGRESS MONITORING IS A FORMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING EVERY TIME WE HAVE A PROGRESS MONITORING MEETING WE ARE EVALUATING THE
SUPERINTENDENT IN PUBLIC AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE PIECES ABOUT THIS THAT'S REALLY GREAT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S A YOU KNOW, IT'S A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. WE RESPECT OUR SUPERINTENDENT. WE VALUE HER WORK AND IT IS IT IS AN ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS, RIGHT? >> SO THAT THAT'S SOMETHING FOR US TO REMEMBER AND THINK ABOUT AS WE GO INTO IT. SECONDLY, IT'S A CULTURE CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US FOR THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IF THE CULTURE OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN THE PROGRESS MONITORING SESSIONS THEN WILL BE REFLECTED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE ORGANIZATION IF WE DO IT RIGHT. AND FINALLY IT'S A RESOURCE ALIGNMENT ACTIVITY. SO ALL THESE QUESTIONS WE'VE BEEN ASKING AROUND BUDGET SHOULD BE BROUGHT INTO PROGRESS MONITORING WHERE WE SHOULD BE ASKING YOU KNOW WHEN WE SEE DATA AND WE'RE YOU KNOW IF THERE'S A SUCCESSFUL DATA POINT WE OUGHT TO BE SAYING OKAY SUPERINTENDENT, WHAT INVESTMENTS WERE MADE THAT LED
TO THIS INCREASE OR YOU KNOW OR AND OR THEN WHAT INVESTMENTS WILL WE MAKE MOVING FORWARD TO FIND FURTHER INCREASES IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ETC., ETC. SO IF YOU LOOK AT SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE OVERALL FRAMING WE SEPARATED IT THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND I WON'T GO THROUGH THE WHOLE GAP ANALYSIS. I ASSUME FOLKS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND AGAIN FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THIS IS ON BOARD DOCS. WE ARE SEPARATED INTO THREE PARTS. NUMBER ONE IS THE OVERARCHING AND FOUNDATIONAL COMPONENTS OF PROGRESS MONITORING. NUMBER 2 OR 2 A WAS BEFORE THE MEETING AND TO BE WAS DURING THE MEETING. SO PART ONE THE OVERARCHING FOUNDATIONAL COMPONENTS THERE ARE FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS IS NUMBER ONE IS TO INCREASE THE TIME AND FREQUENCY THAT THE BOARD SPENDS ON PROGRESS MONITORING AND WE HAVE SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO DO THAT BUT BUT IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND IT'S GOING TO BE MEANINGFUL, THEN WE NEED TO COMMIT TIME TO IT.
NUMBER TWO, DEVELOP THE MONITORING CALENDAR THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS. FIRST OF ALL, IT SHOULD BE A MULTI-YEAR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR WHICH WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT REFLECTS THE DURATION OF THE MULTI-YEAR GOALS WE'VE SET . WE WANT TO MONITOR GOALS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO FOUR TIMES PER YEAR AND THAT IN PART OF THE IDEA AGAIN IS THAT THIS IS REALLY A FREQUENT AND ITERATIVE PROCESS. WE DON'T HAVE TO MONITOR EVERY SINGLE PART OF EVERY GOAL EVERY TIME. ONE THING WE SAW OTHER DISTRICTS DO A LOT IS THEY DO ONE OF THE INTERIM GOALS AT EACH MONITORING SESSION. SO IF WE WERE DOING GOAL ONE ON LITERACY THIRD GRADE LITERACY WE MIGHT WHEN WE LOOK AT ONE OF THE INTERIMS AND THEN AT THE NEXT SESSION ANOTHER AN EXTENSION ANOTHER SO THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN ORGANIZE IT BUT THE FREQUENCY MATTERS. WE KNOW WE MAY NOT BE TO GET TO FOUR TIMES PER YEAR ACCORDING TO STAFF I SHOULD SAY WE'RE CLOSE TO THAT BUT THAT'S WHY WE PUT IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. THIRD OPPORTUNITIES TO MONITOR
SPECIFIC INTERIM GOALS. I JUST I GUESS I JUST SAID THAT AND FOURTH TO CONSIDER IF THERE ARE SOME MONITORING GUARDRAIL MONITORING REPORTS THAT COULD GO ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. NOW OBVIOUSLY NOT ONES THAT THE BOARD REALLY WANTS TO DIG INTO BUT IF IT SEEMS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING WELL IN A PARTICULAR GUARDRAIL AND WE WANT TO FREE UP SPACE ON THE MONITORING CALENDAR, WE COULD POTENTIALLY PUT THAT ON CONSENT. YEAH, PLEASE. ONE THING I LEARNED IN SERVING ON THIS AD HOC COMMITTEE IS THAT OUR GUARDRAIL MONITORING TIME DOES NOT COUNT TOWARD OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUS GOVERNANCE GOAL MONITORING TIME AND SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO 50% OF OUR TIME SPENT IT IS SPECIFICALLY ON GOAL MONITORING NOT NOT GOAL AND GUARDRAIL MONITORING WHICH IS THE REASON THAT THE SUGGESTION TO MOVE SOME OF THE GUARDRAIL MONITORING IF THERE ARE GUARDRAILS THAT THERE'S NOT NEED FOR A LARGE CONVERSATION LIKE WE MIGHT WANT TO KEEP FOR EXAMPLE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM THERE BUT PERHAPS OTHER THINGS LIKE CITY PARTNERSHIPS MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO ON CONSENT AND THAT
IS TO FURTHER GET US CLOSER TO OUR 50% GOAL MONITORING BECAUSE THAT WAS A THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO THAT RECOMMENDATION. OKAY. SO SORRY I WENT TO A LOT OF DETAIL ON RECOMMENDATION TWO. SO RECOMMENDATION ONE WAS INCREASING TIME AND FREQUENCY SPENT ON PROGRESS MONITORING. NUMBER TWO IS BUILDING OUT A MONITORING CALENDAR WITH SOME OF THOSE CHARACTERISTIC ACTS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT RECOMMENDATION THREE CONDUCT ANNUAL TRAINING ON STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUS GOVERNANCE AND PROGRESS MONITORING PRACTICES FOR THE BOARD STAFF AND COMMUNITY. WE'VE DONE SOME OF THAT BUT BUT TO BE MORE INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT AND HAVE IT CALENDARED OUT AND THEN NUMBER FOUR DURING SPRING OF 2026 LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR 20 2627 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VISION VALUES GOALS AND GUARDRAILS BY DOING A SET OF INTERNAL STAFF PRACTICES AND THEY'RE LISTED THERE UNDER RECOMMENDATION NUMBER FOUR THAT THAT REALLY WAS FOR THE STAFF THAT THEY THEY WROTE THAT THAT
RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN THIS SPRING IN ORDER TO LEAD INTO THESE THE REST OF THESE THINGS SO UNLESS THE I DON'T KNOW IF FOLKS WANT TO I MEAN I WANT TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS BUT ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONS COMMENTS ON THOSE? >> NO. GREAT, GREAT. I'LL KEEP GOING. SO BEFORE A MONITORING MEETING THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION IS UNDER SECTION TWO A THERE'S FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS THERE AS WELL. >> NUMBER ONE IS DEVELOP THE PROGRESS MONITORING REPORT AS A SLIDE DECK INSTEAD OF A WRITTEN REPORT AND SLIDE DECK. AND THIS WAS SOMETHING WE SAW SOME OF THE EXEMPLARY SCHOOL DISTRICTS DID AND IT WAS A REQUEST OF STAFF BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE WRITING THIS WRITTEN REPORT AND THEN HAVING TO TRANSLATE IT INTO A SLIDE DECK WHICH THEN SOMETIMES WASN'T EXACTLY THE SAME AND SO THERE WERE THESE TWO THINGS FLYING IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND THAT THEY FELT LIKE IF THE GOAL REALLY IS TO TALK ABOUT DATA AND STRATEGY WHICH IS THE GOAL THAT A SLIDE
DECK ACTUALLY WAS A GREAT WAY TO PRESENT THAT AND IT COULD INCLUDE MANY, MANY SLIDES. SO IT WASN'T INTENDED TO KIND OF SHORTEN IT NECESSARILY THERE COULD BE APPENDICES AND WE SAW EXAMPLES OF THAT IN OTHER DISTRICTS WHERE THEY HAD A YOU KNOW THE MAIN PRESENTATION AND THEN AN EXTENSIVE SET OF APPENDIX SLIDES WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DATA. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STAFF WOULD LIKE TO TRY. SO WE WERE RECOMMENDING THAT WE TRY THAT AND SEE HOW IT GOES. NUMBER TWO, THIS IS ALSO WHY STAFF RECOMMENDATION IDENTIFY A NEUTRAL IN QUOTES CHIEF OF STAFF TYPE ROLE TO COORDINATE CROSS TEAM DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY OF THE REPORT. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT STAFF RAISED WAS THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S NOT IF THERE'S NOT ONE PERSON HOLDING IT IT'S NOT ALWAYS CLEAR WHO'S RESPONSE, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT AND IT'S AND AND RIGHT NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ASSESSMENT DEPARTMENT IS KIND OF HOLDING IT AND THEY DON'T SUPERVISE SOME OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND SO THEY'RE RECOMMENDING AND STRONG RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THERE BE SOMEBODY WHO HAS AUTHORITY THAT IS YOU KNOW
CLOSE TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS OFFICE BUT ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT BUT CAN KIND OF MAKE SURE THE REPORT ALL GETS COMPILED AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES AND THAT IT'S IT HAS THAT STRATEGIC FOCUS THAT REFLECTS THE SUPERINTENDENT STRATEGY. THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BOARD SUBMIT WRITTEN TECHNICAL AND TECHNICAL QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING AND THAT AND BOARD MEMBERS ALSO MAY SUBMIT STRATEGIC QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE AND YOU'LL SEE THIS LEADS INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTION A RECOMMENDATION THAT BOARD MEMBER IS NOT ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AT THE MEETING AND THEN NUMBER FOUR IS TO CONDUCT TRAINING AND PRACTICE FOR BOARD MEMBERS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID IN THE COMMITTEE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE FULL BOARD IS WE ACTUALLY WATCHED SOME MONITORING SESSIONS OF EXEMPLARY DISTRICTS AND ACTUALLY SOME SOME WITH SOME GOOD QUESTIONS AND BAD QUESTIONS AND WE KIND OF PRACTICED ANALYZING WHICH WERE GOOD STRATEGIC QUESTIONS WHICH WERE NOT SO GOOD.
HOW DID GOOD STRATEGIC QUESTIONS LEAD THE SUPERINTENDENT TO HAVE A STRATEGIC RESPONSE AND CONVERSATION? SO WE'D LIKE TO DO SOME SORT OF TRAINING AND PRACTICE LIKE THAT SO THAT WE AS A BOARD GET BETTER AT KEEPING THE CONVERSATION FOCUSED AT A STRATEGY LEVEL BECAUSE THAT REALLY IS THE GOAL OF MONITORING IS TO HAVE A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND SO THAT'S WHY THE FRONT LOADING OF THE TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL QUESTIONS IS IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, KIND OF FOLLOWING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER WAS SAYING ABOUT LIKE YOU KNOW, ENSURING THE SUPERINTENDENT IS, YOU KNOW, PREPARED AND ABLE TO ANSWER THAT WAS ONE OF THE IDEAS BEHIND THE SORT OF NEUTRAL CHIEF OF STAFF PERSON AS WELL THAT THAT PERSON KIND OF HOLDING THE BROADER PICTURE OF THE OVERALL REPORT WOULD THEN BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, BRIEF THE SUPERINTENDENT SO THAT SHE IS WELL PREPARED TO ANSWER STRATEGIC QUESTIONS AND WE WOULD NOT BE ASKING
THOSE QUESTIONS IN GENERAL THE STAFF BUT WOULD BE ASKING THEM DIRECTLY OF THE SUPERINTENDENT . SO SO THAT LEADS INTO THE LAST SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS UNDER TO BE DURING A MONITORING MEETING. NUMBER TWO, I'M GOING TO START WITH NUMBER TWO BECAUSE IT'S WHAT COMMISSIONER RAY WAS JUST REFERRING TO AND THIS IS A STRONG RECOMMENDATION THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT PRESENTS THE MONITORING REPORT AND THE SUPERINTENDENT ANSWERS THE BOARD'S STRATEGIC QUESTIONS NOT STAFF BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT THIS IS A FORMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND IT'S A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION. SO THE EXPECTATION IS NOT THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL KNOW ALL THE TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL ANSWERS. IN FACT, IF SHE DID THAT WOULD BE WEIRD AND SO THAT'S WHY STAFF CAN BE THERE TO ASSIST IN IN THAT PART OF THE CONVERSATION I HAVE TO REFER TO THE SLIDES OR WHATEVER THE INFORMATION IS BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO BE ABLE TO DEEPLY UNDERSTAND AND ARTICULATE CLEARLY THE STRATEGY THAT THE DISTRICT IS TAKING IN THESE AREAS SO THAT
EVERYBODY IN THE ORGANIZATION CAN UNDERSTAND IT RIGHT. AND SO THAT IS PART OF THE POINT OF AS COMMISSIONER I WAS SAYING HAVING STAFF REALLY BE ABLE TO BRIEF AND PREPARE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION BUT THEN IT THEN AT THE BOARD MEETING SHE'S THE ONE HAVING IT WITH US. ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION HERE IS THAT THE BOARD PRESIDENT START THE MONITORING MEETING BY STATING THE COMMISSIONERS WILL FOCUS ON ASKING STRATEGIC QUESTIONS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND ALSO ASKING IF THE MONITORING REPORT IS COMPLETE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION IF THE REPORT IS INSUFFICIENT AND AND THAT CAME UP A COUPLE OF TIMES I THINK THEY'VE GOTTEN A LOT BETTER RECENTLY BUT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE THE REPORT SEEMED SORT OF INADEQUATE AND THEN THE BOARD WAS FRUSTRATED AND THEN IT KIND OF LED TO A NOT A GREAT CONVERSATION AND THAT'S ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE GOT FROM OTHER DISTRICTS WAS WELL IF THAT HAPPENS JUST SAY LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO POSTPONE THE CONVERSATION RATHER THAN TRYING
TO MUDDLE THROUGH. RIGHT. GET A GOOD REPORT AND THEN HAVE THE CONVERSATION. THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION IN THIS SECTION IS AS I SAID EARLIER, THE BOARD ASKED STRATEGIC QUESTIONS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND AVOIDS ASKING TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL QUESTIONS. SO WE'LL PROBABLY REPEAT THIS 17 TIMES AND NOW IN THE FUTURE. >> BUT BUT THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE STRONGEST RECOMMENDATIONS AGAIN THAT WE WANT TO HAVE A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION. WE NEED TO ASK STRATEGIC QUESTIONS. WE AS BOARD MEMBERS OH ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO RECOMMEND IS THAT THE BOARD PRESIDENT MAY DISALLOW MORE TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL QUESTIONS DURING THE MEETING UNLESS THERE'S A VERY GOOD REASON WHY THEY WERE NOT ASKED PREVIOUSLY AND THEN OTHER REMINDERS THAT BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT GIVE OPINIONS IN PLACE OF ASKING A QUESTION AND WE HAVE SOME GREAT VIDEO EXAMPLES OF THIS AND THAT INCLUDES POSITIVE OPINIONS. THIS IS A STRONG RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE ONCE BOARD MEMBERS START GIVING OPINIONS IT'S THEN IT'S ABOUT WHAT THE BOARD MEMBER THINKS AS OPPOSED TO ENCOURAGING THE SUPERINTENDENT
TO THINK STRATEGICALLY AND EXPLAIN THE DISTRICT STRATEGY. RIGHT? SO ANYWAY, THESE ARE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PRACTICE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME NATURALLY AND IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T GIVE OUR OPINIONS IN OTHER FORUMS LIKE IF WE'RE GOING HAVE A VOTE ON SOMETHING WE SHOULD GIVE OUR OPINION ABOUT THAT. BUT JUST FOR THE PROGRESS MONITORING PART, OUR JOB IN THAT SECTION IS REALLY TO BE JUST ASKING STRATEGIC QUESTIONS . FOURTH RECOMMENDATION WHICH WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS THAT THE BOARD CELEBRATES STUDENT GROWTH AT MONITORING MEETINGS BY INVITING STUDENTS TO THE MEETING CALLING THEIR NAMES AND AWARDING CERTIFICATES WHICH IS SOMETHING WE SAW OTHER DISTRICTS DOING. SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, HONORING STUDENTS AND HONORING THEIR EDUCATORS, YOU KNOW, JUST USING ADDING CELEBRATION BASICALLY TO SOME OF THE MEETINGS DOESN'T HAVE TO START HAPPENING AT EVERY MEETING BUT THAT WE START INTEGRATING THAT IN A NUMBER FIVE THE BOARD VOTES WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE MONITORING REPORT WHICH WAS SOMETHING WE DID WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROCESS AND THEN STOPPED DOING USING
THE THREE GUIDING QUESTIONS DOES REALITY MATCH THE VISION? IS THERE GROWTH TOWARD THE VISION AND IS THERE A STRATEGY IN PLAN SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE GROWTH TO THE VISION? SO THOSE ARE THE THREE KIND OF GUIDING QUESTIONS THAT WE WOULD USE. BUT THEN AFTER THE STRATEGY CONVERSATION THE BOARD HAS TO VOTE AND AGAIN THAT'S PART OF THE SUPERINTENDENT'S EVALUATION PROCESS. AND THEN FINALLY RECOMMENDATION SIX IS AGAIN CONDUCT TRAINING AND PRACTICE FOR BOARD MEMBERS AND I THINK I SAID ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE IN THERE ALREADY BUT THAT WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON STRATEGIC QUESTIONS AND ALSO THAT WE WOULD EVALUATE OURSELVES OF THE BASED ON THE QUALITY OF OUR QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ACTUALLY SOME EXAMPLES COUNCIL GREAT GRACIE SCHOOLS HAS HAS ANALYZED OUR QUESTIONS PREVIOUSLY AND WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THOSE OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE GOOD STRATEGIC QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANALYSIS OF OTHER DISTRICTS SO WE HAVE A LOT OF MATERIALS WE CAN USE TO HELP TRAIN OURSELVES FOR SURE. >> I JUST WANTED TO ADD A
LITTLE BIT OF COLOR ON THE POINT ABOUT THE STUDENTS. THIS IS THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY ARE ONLY ABOUT CELEBRATING STUDENTS WHO ARE DOING THE BEST BUT ACTUALLY CELEBRATING STUDENTS WHO ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANT GROWTH. SO IT'S LIKE RECOGNIZING THAT THAT IS YOU KNOW IS A TREMENDOUS IN AND OF ITSELF ACCOMPLISHMENT. AND I ALSO JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT I THINK OUR RECOMMENDATION OVERALL IS THAT THIS BE IMPLEMENTED BEGINNING IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR SO THAT WE DO WE HAVE A PLAN TO DO A BOARD TRAINING DO THE BOARD TRAINING ON STRATEGIC QUESTIONS OBVIOUSLY GIVE SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF TIME TO ADJUST HOW THEY'RE PREPARING REPORTS. WE HAVE A MONITORING MEETING COMING UP WITH NEXT WEEK THAT WE WOULDN'T EXPECT TO INSTANTLY ,YOU KNOW HAVE PRESENTED BY DIFFERENT STAFF AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN DIFFERENT FORMAT. SO DO THAT TRAINING AND THEN AT OUR FIRST MONITORING MEETING I BELIEVE IN AUGUST IMPLEMENT THESE IN TERMS SO IF THERE ISN'T FOR EXAMPLE A STRATEGY AT
THE END OF THE REPORT SUFFICIENT THAT WE JUST SAY WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO HEAR THE REPORT AND WE RE CALENDAR IT UNTIL IT'S COMPLETE WE BEGIN VOTING. WE DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. BUT ONE QUESTION THAT WE HAD FOR THE BOARD WAS ORIGINALLY THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO INCREASE TIME AND FREQUENCY THE BOARD SPEND ON PROGRESS MONITORING WAS TO HAVE A STRICT FIDELITY TO OUR EVERY OTHER MEETING IS A MONITORING MEETING PRACTICE AND YOU KNOW I'LL HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE AS A MEMBER OF OUR LEADERSHIP. OFTEN THAT SLIPS WHERE BUSINESS ITEMS COME ON THERE ARE STATUTORY DEADLINES OR CONTRACT DEADLINES OR THINGS LIKE THAT. WHY SOMETHING HAS TO BE AGENDA RAISED DURING A MONITORING MEETING THAT'S A BUSINESS ITEM THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE ON A BUSINESS MEETING AND SO WE I THINK WANTED TO BRING TO THE BOARD WHETHER THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO REINSTITUTE KIND OF BEING STRICTER ON THAT RULE THAT NO BUSINESS ITEMS ON A MONITORING MEETING AND MOVE
FORWARD IN THAT WAY OR WHETHER WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GET TO 50% OF OUR BOARD MEETING TIME BEING SPENT ON GOAL MONITORING SPECIFICALLY BY DOING OTHER THINGS SUCH AS YOU KNOW BRINGING THAT STUDENT CELEBRATION TO KICK OFF BUSINESS MEETINGS OR SPLITTING IF THERE'S LARGE CONVERSATIONS WE GET WE TEND TO GET THE DATA IN DUMPS BECAUSE THERE'S CERTAIN TIMES WHEN THERE'S TESTING AND ALL THAT TESTING ALL US ASPECT TESTING JUST CAME BACK TODAY FOR PARENTS. YEAH AND YOU KNOW WHETHER WE WANT TO BREAK IT UP OVER MORE MEETINGS AND HAVE 50% OF EACH MEETING WE MONITORING AND JUST WANT TO SURFACE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE WHOLE BOARD SO WE CAN HAVE A SHARED COMMITMENT TO WHATEVER WE DECIDE MOVING FORWARD THAT THEN BOARD LEADERSHIP CAN IMPLEMENT WHEN WE HAVE OUR AGENDA SETTING PLANNING MEETINGS AND AS WE LOOK TOWARD ADOPTING MULTI YEAR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR SOON TO MAKE SURE THAT'S REFLECTED IN THEIR SO FIRST OF ALL I
REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE THIS AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS IMPLEMENTED. SO FIRST OF ALL KUDOS TO I WAS GOING TO SAY I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SECOND IS THAT HOW YOU MOST GROW THE STUDENTS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR YOUR ABILITY TO TAKE A CHECK. YEAH THIS IS THIS IS FANTASTIC . I DID I ACTUALLY MY FIRST QUESTION WAS ON THAT MATTER OF AGENDA HOUSING AND WHAT WE AGENDA IS AND THIS IS MORE OUT OF CURIOSITY WHEN YOU DO LOOK AT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT CONDUCT THIS WELL I'M CURIOUS HOW DO THEY HAVE THE TIME TO DO THIS AND WHAT MIGHT WE LEARN? SO IS THAT LEARNING YOU KNOW, IS IT YOU KNOW, JUST AS A LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICT WE HAVE A LOT ON THE AGENDA. IS IT THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR? IS IT THAT WE YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE A MULTI YEAR AGENDA SCHEDULE THEN YOU KNOW WE'D BE BETTER ABLE TO DO THIS. ARE WE JUST LONG WINDED SO IS THAT I MEAN I'M JUST CURIOUS
HOW DO YOU OTHERS DO THIS SO THAT THEY CAN GET TO THAT POINT WHERE EVERY OTHER MEETING IS JUST JUST PROGRAM EVALUATION MONTH MONITORING? WELL, I MEAN I THINK I THINK YES TO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. >> I MEAN I THINK I THINK THAT WHAT WHERE AND MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE TO ADD TO THIS OR HAVE A DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS BUT MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY DISCIPLINED. MOST OF THEM I THINK DO THE ONE MEETING A MONTH THAT'S THAT'S FOR PROGRESS MONITORING BUT THEY ALSO ARE MUCH I THINK MORE DISCIPLINED ABOUT LEAVING THINGS ON CONSENT NOT HAVING AS MANY LENGTHY PRESENTATIONS. SO THERE'S I THINK THERE'S JUST A LEVEL OF DISCIPLINE AND COMMITMENT THERE. I MEAN EVEN EVEN THINKING ABOUT TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THREE PRESENTATIONS WHICH AGAIN WE'RE ALL SORT OF OVERLAPPING IN MANY WAYS. I MEAN THEY WERE ALSO VERY VALUABLE. BUT BUT I ALSO WONDER WHETHER THE OTHER FORUMS IN WHICH YOU KNOW, WE COULD AGAIN BRING FOLKS TOGETHER YOU KNOW, HAVE HAVE AND THEN HAVE
RECOMMENDATIONS BE PRESENTED IN A MORE EFFICIENT WAY THAT'S LINKED TO THE OR MAYBE IN THE EMBEDDED IN GOALS I MEAN BECAUSE THOSE ALL HAD TO DO WITH ALL THE STUFF WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT WAS DIRECTLY RELEVANCE TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BUT IT IT WASN'T TECHNICALLY PROGRESS MONITORING BECAUSE IT WAS IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT YOU KNOW SO COULD WE BRING OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES, FOR EXAMPLE, INTO THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN SOME WAY? I DON'T KNOW. SO I THINK IT WILL REQUIRE SOME SOME WORK BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT DISCIPLINE AND COMMITMENT TO THE TO TO THE PROGRESS MONITORING AND SEEING THE VALUE OF IT. RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S THE OTHER THING I FOR ME AT LEAST I THINK I REALLY CAN SEE THE VALUE OF FOCUSING AND HAVING THAT FOCUSED STRATEGIC CONVERSATION AND I THINK IF WE ALL SEE THAT VALUE THEN WE SHOULD MAKE THE TIME FOR IT AND INVEST IN IT. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE OTHER I HAVE ASKED AJ THIS QUESTION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND LIKE BECAUSE OFTEN FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE THINGS LIKE PIPS AND WAIVERS THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON OR
EXECUTIVE CONTRACTS THAT BY LAW IN CALIFORNIA CAN'T GO ON OUR CONSENT CALENDAR AND ALSO WE'RE A COUNTY OFFICE SO WE HAVE COUNTY BUSINESS AND YET THE ANSWER THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM AJ IS THAT THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA YEAH. THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEET THIS BENCHMARK AND PART OF HIS FEEDBACK HAS BEEN THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT COME TO THE BOARD THAT HE UNDERSTOOD OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK GENERALLY VIEWS AS SUPERINTENDENT WORK AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAS SURFACED AS SOMETHING WHERE MANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE REALLY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR WORK THAT IS WITHIN HER PURVIEW AROUND ALLOCATING RESOURCES AROUND PROGRAMMATIC DECISIONS AND THAT THOSE MAY OR MAY NOT BEST BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD IN A BOARD MEETING. SO THAT I THINK IS AN ONGOING CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW DO WE TAKE THAT COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND INTEGRATE IT INTO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO WHILE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT IT IS HEARD IN THE FORUM THAT IS GOING TO ENSURE THAT IT REACHES
THE AUDIENCE MOST ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS WE KNOW THAT ONLY MEET ONCE A MONTH TO HAVE MEETINGS FROM 5 TO 730 WHO VOTE ON THEIR ACTIONS AND THEIR DAY. RIGHT? SO LIKE I DO THINK IT'S A DISCIPLINE QUESTION OF LIKE DOES EVERYONE NEED TO SPEAK FOR THREE MINUTES? DOES EVERYONE NEED TO ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS? ARE THOSE REQUESTS RIGHT? BECAUSE IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO DO THIS I THINK THERE IS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO STOP PULLING ITEMS FROM CONSENT AND ASKING URGENT RIGHT? LIKE THESE ARE THIS IS EVERY ONE OF US IS GUILTY OF THIS. RIGHT. I'M JUST I'M JUST SAYING THIS EVEN MY OWN SELF OF LIKE THERE IS A TRADEOFF HERE THAT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IS A TRADEOFF THAT WE'RE WILLING TO TAKE IF IF WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION MORE MEANINGFULLY. >> WE WILL ALL GET TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE SO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK TO EVERY SINGLE PRESENTER FOR, YOU KNOW, TEN MINUTES TOTAL BUT WE DO APPRECIATE THEIR WORK. BUT THAT SHOULD BE THAT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD IF THEY'RE HERE. >> RIGHT. WHICH IS WHY I WANT TO HAVE THIS AS A SHARED BOARD CONVERSATIONS THAT WE CAN COME TO A SHARED DECISION AND NORMS
WE CAN ALL COMMIT TO AROUND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO 50% FOR SURE AND I APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON DISCIPLINE BECAUSE IT'S VERY TRUE AND I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THE SUPERINTENDENT ACCOUNTABLE VIA MONITORING REPORTS, WE ALSO HAVE TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO THE POINT ABOUT THE QUESTION ASKING SO WE DO HAVE THE TEMPLATE THE QUESTION ASKING TEMPLATE ESPECIALLY FOR THE WORKSHOP MEETINGS STRATEGY FOCUSED MEASURE FOCUSED ASSET ORIENTED RESULTS FOCUSED TIME BOUND THOSE ARE THE FIVE CATEGORIES THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ASK IN FOR THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED MANUAL RIGHT AND THEN WE SCORE OURSELVES AND I AND IT IT AFFECTS OUR OWN BOARD EVALUATION RIGHT AT THE END AND AND SO YES, I THINK THAT DISCIPLINE IS IMPORTANT AND I TELL YOU I'VE BEEN DOING TIME USAGE AND I'VE BEEN SCRIBING PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THE MOST PART NOT COMPLETELY BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME DISCIPLINE ON OUR PART ALSO TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE LIKE
SOMEONE HAS TO SIT HERE AND LITERALLY TYPE IN THE QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING AND THEN WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER BASED ON THIS RUBRIC TO SCORE THEM. SO THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL STEPS AND IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A TEAM EFFORT AS FAR AS HOW WE GET TO 50%, I'LL USE THE WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE COHORT WITH SOME OTHER COUNCIL OF GREAT CITY SCHOOLS, ONE OF TWO OF THE MEMBERS IN MY COHORT WERE FROM CHARLOTTE MECKLENBURG IN NORTH CAROLINA AND THEY ARE A GREAT EXEMPLAR AND I THINK ONE OF THE MONITORING SESSIONS THAT YOU ALL LISTENED TO WAS WAS CHARLOTTE MECKLENBURG BUT PART OF HOW THEY STAY TO THE 50% IS THEY HAVE SOME BOARD COMMITTEES ,RIGHT? NOT THE TRADITIONAL COMMITTEES THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST BUT THEY HAVE A COMMUNITY CAPITAL AND BOND COMMITTEE FACILITIES, FINANCE AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE INTER-GOVERNMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE POLICY COMMITTEE. SO SOME OF THAT OTHER WORK THAT REQUIRES FURTHER DISCUSSION BUT ISN'T NECESSARILY STUDENT OUTCOMES THEY DO HAVE OTHER
FORUMS TO DO THAT AS WELL. SO JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THAT'S INTERESTING. SO CAN I JUST ASK SO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE ON BONDS RATHER THAN HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE FULL BOARD THEY MIGHT HAVE A DISCUSSION AT A BOND COMMITTEE AND THEN PUT THE BOND ITEM ON CONSENT OR SOMETHING AT THE FULL BOARD. IS THAT KIND OF HOW IT WORKS OR AS AN EXAMPLE THAT WELL WELL WHAT I'M SEEING HERE THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY CAPITAL AND BOND COMMITTEE IS TO ENSURE CAPITAL PROJECTS MATCH THOSE PRIORITIES DESCRIBED IN THE BOND REFERENDUM AND THE BOND APPROVED CAP OF ABOUT LET'S SEE A PROGRESS STATUS REPORTS FROM STAFF DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THEIR SYSTEM WILL BE REVIEWED QUARTERLY SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY MEET QUARTERLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET THEIR COMPLIANCE MANDATES. BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT WE WOULD HAVE HERE AT THE FULL BOARD BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING IF IF WE WERE TO CREATE ANOTHER
SPACE FOR IT THEN THAT WOULD MEET THE NEED. BUT YEAH, YES COMMISSIONER RIGHT. AND JUST GO AHEAD AND CUT US OFF AT 10:00 SO SO WE CAN MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM. SURE. RIGHT. >> I'M ACTUALLY WONDERING IF AJ KRAYBILL IS ON AT THIS POINT. I HAVE NO IDEA. IS HE HERE TO GIVE US ANY COMMENTS OR GUIDANCE ON WAYS TO GET TO 50%? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE ALSO DISCUSSED WITH HIM MULTIPLE TIMES AND BEING IN THE COHORT THIS THE PRIOR YEAR I PERSONALLY JUST FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE COULD GET TO 50%. WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THAT SO WE CAN MAKE HUGE STRIDES BUT ACTUALLY GETTING TO 50% STRUCK ME AS INCREDIBLY HARD ESPECIALLY WITH THE YOU KNOW, HAVING PUBLIC COMMENT AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR CALENDAR. ARE YOU ON HERE NOW SO WE CAN FOLLOW UP? I THINK THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY ON THIS POINT IS I THESE ARE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS DON'T ALL NEED TO HAPPEN TOMORROW.
I THINK THE KEY IS THAT WE START HAVING REALLY FOCUSED STRATEGIC CONVERSATIONS ABOUT STUDENT OUTCOMES AND FOLLOW THE PROCESS AND DO IT WELL THEN I THINK WE CAN START ALSO ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE OTHER LONGER TERM ISSUES. I THINK THE HIGH LEVERAGE THING HERE IS ACTUALLY DOING IT DOING THE PROCESS AND HAVING IT BE ABOUT STRATEGY. I THINK THAT IS THAT MAKES SENSE AND IT'S A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT AND SO I THINK IF WE IF WE START WITH THAT THEN WE CAN THEN WE CAN BUILD OUT TO THE FULL 50% TIME OVER TIME. AND TO THAT POINT I'D JUST ALSO LIKE TO SAY IF YOU TAKE A LOOK BACK THROUGH AND I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THE DATA I HAVE AS FAR AS OUR TIME USAGE, YOU KNOW BUT A LOT OF A LOT OF OUR BIG CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE MADE OUR BOARD MEETINGS GO ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW WE WE SPENT AN HOUR OR 22 MINUTES ON OUR ASIAN PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE PRESENTATION. WE SPENT TWO HOURS ON OUR MAJOR DECISIONS CONVERSATION LAST TIME LAST MEETING YOU KNOW, WE SPENT TWO HOURS ON OUR IPAC
CONVERSATION AND WE SPENT AN HOUR ON OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES GUARDRAIL TO THE MEANING BEFORE THAT AND SO THAT'S 0% STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED BASED ON IF NOW THAT WE SAY WE CAN'T USE A GUARDRAIL RIGHT BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS LIKE AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS I THINK NEXT WHEN WE HAVE THE THE AD HOC ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, YOU KNOW, IS THAT LIKE THE HONESTLY IN PUBLIC COMMENT IS AT LEAST AN HOUR EVERY MEETING RIGHT BUT WHERE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO ENGAGE IN ORDER TO BE AUTHENTICALLY HEARD IS NOT AT THE DYESS NOT AT THE MICROPHONE HERE NOT BY GIVING US A PRESENTATION WINNING OTHER MORE AUTHENTIC MEANS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ON AN ONGOING BASIS LIKE PART OF I'D SAY LIKE OUR MEETING STRUCTURE RIGHT NOW IS A SYMPTOM OF THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE AUTHENTIC MEANS FOR FOLKS TO ENGAGE IN OTHER WAYS. AND SO IF WE BUILD THAT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AS WE'RE BEING MORE STRATEGIC AND DISCIPLINED
HERE AS A BOARD, I THINK THAT WILL GET US TO MUCH STRONGER GOVERNANCE. YEAH THAT OH YEAH. OH SORRY. AND JUST TO LIKE PUT A POINT ON THAT LIKE TO USE THE EXAMPLE THAT COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN WORD HAS BEEN APPROPRIATELY EMPHASIZING ALL NIGHT ALL WE HEARD ALL THAT SAME POINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AROUND WE NEED TO HIRE MORE TEACHERS THAT REFLECT OUR STUDENTS BUT WE DON'T HAVE A STRATEGY ABOUT IT YET. RIGHT? BECAUSE WE BECAUSE IT WASN'T A STRATEGIC CONVERSATION. IT WAS JUST THE COMMUNITY GIVING INPUT, GIVING INPUT, GIVING INPUT BUT THERE WAS NO PLACE TO SAY WELL WHAT'S THE STRATEGY AND TO REALLY HAVE THAT CONVERSATION OR EVEN AN EXPECTATION THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT WOULD GIVE US A STRATEGY ON IT. RIGHT. SO SO I THINK THAT'S THE IDEA IS TO LIKE IT'S USING THE TIME DIFFERENTLY SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GET TO THAT STRATEGIC CONVERSATION. AND THE LAST LAYER I WOULD ADD TO THAT ADD ON TO THAT THEN IS THE RESOURCING PART OF IT, RIGHT? WE TALK RESOURCING OVER AND OVER AGAIN BUT THE THE REPORT, THE GOVERNANCE, THE THE REPORTS THEMSELVES DON'T ACTUALLY LEND ITSELF TO A CONVERSATION TO TALK ABOUT
RESOURCING IN ONE PART BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GETTING THERE BUT WE'RE NOT GETTING THERE BECAUSE THE EXPECTATION WAS NEVER SET THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE WILL WE LEAD TO THAT CONVERSATION? AND SO I MEAN A HUGE PART OF THE EVIDENCE AND PLAN SECTION AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS GENERALLY AS WELL IS LIKE IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND INVESTMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR GOAL MONITORING, WE NEED TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE INITIATIVES ARE AND THE COSTS OF THEM RIGHT AND THAT HAS TO BE BAKED INTO THE GOAL REPORTING THAT WE RECEIVE. RIGHT? BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT WE WE CAN'T WRITE. AND SO I DO THINK THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A PROBABLY A BIG LIFT HERE ON STAFF'S PART AS WELL IN BRINGING INFORMATION DATA REPORTS THAT ALLOW US TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. AND SO THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S SOME WORK THERE IN ADDITION TO THE BOARD BEING ABLE TO ELICIT SOME OF THOSE BY ASKING THE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS BEFORE AND THE STRATEGIC QUESTIONS DURING AND ACTUALLY REORIENTING OURSELVES TO WHAT IT MEANS TO
ACTUALLY RESPOND TO A REPORT FOR FOR MONITORING. CAN I ASK A FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT? SORRY. DO YOU WANT TO GO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY TO FOLLOW UP ON THE THE TECHNICAL TACTICAL VERSUS TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. I KNOW I'M VERY GUILTY OF THIS IN SOME REPORTS LIKE I'VE LITERALLY COULD ASK A PAGE OF QUESTIONS ON ONE THING SO SO MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS LIKE AND THEN LEGITIMATELY STAFF COULD END UP HAVING TO SPEND THEIR ENTIRE DAY JUST ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR WORK RIGHT SO I DON'T ARE THERE ANY OTHER STRUCTURES WE WANT TO PUT IN PLACE AS FAR AS DISCIPLINE RIGHT TO THE I GUESS LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO COME TO SOME SHARED EXPECTATIONS AS A BOARD AS WELL AROUND WHAT IS WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF INFORMATION FOR US TO EXPECT TO HAVE AS COMMISSIONERS THAT WITHOUT VEERING INTO THE OPERATIONAL MICROMANAGEMENT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND A STAFF AS WELL? I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE WE SHOULD ALSO BE ALIGNED IN OUR EXPECTATIONS AS A BOARD.
YEAH, I WILL SAY IN THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH THE RESPONSE WAS THAT BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD RECEIVE THOSE ANSWERS. >> I MEAN WELL YES. AND HE ALSO SAYS HE SAID THIS TO ME DIRECTLY EVERY TIME A BOARD MEMBER ASKS A QUESTION YOU'RE YOU'RE INDICATING A PRIORITY FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT SO YOU'RE SO SO YOU IT IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY IF I ASKED THIS QUESTION THEN THAT STAFF MEMBER NEEDS TO SPEND SOME OF THAT DAY DOING THIS SO YOU BETTER IT BETTER BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH AND THAT MEANS THEY'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT BE ABOUT SERVING STUDENTS THAT MIGHT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS THING. SO I JUST THINK WE WE ALL NEED TO HOLD THAT AND NOBODY CAN POLICE US ON THAT THAT HAS TO BE US AS BOARD MEMBERS BEING RESPONSIBLE AND BEING LIKE DO I REALLY NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION? IS IT ACTUALLY NECESSARY FOR ME TO KNOW THIS OR AM I JUST CURIOUS RIGHT OR IS IT ACTUALLY IMPORTANT FOR STAFF TO KNOW THAT? BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I NEED TO KNOW IT. YOU KNOW? YEAH, I I HAVE A QUESTION AND I'M TRYING TO MAP OUT HOW EXACTLY PROGRAM EVALUATION
WORKS AND SPECIFICALLY, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THE RECOMMENDATION WE SHOULD BE ASKING STRATEGIC QUESTIONS OF THE SUPERINTEND AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS RESPONDING WITH STRATEGIC QUESTIONS AND I ALSO APPRECIATE THE MENTION OF OFTEN RPA FEEL IT FEELS LIKE RPA IS ON THE STAND AND ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS AND I DO WONDER, YOU KNOW, IS WHERE'S RPA VIS A VIS LEAD VS OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE SITE? HOW ARE SITES THINKING ABOUT PROGRAM EVALUATION OFTEN I MEAN IT FEELS LIKE SITES AND I SAY THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO FORMERLY WAS AN SEC CHAIR ARE LOOKING AT HOW TO FORMULATE YOU KNOW OUR SIPS WHICH THEN FEEDS INTO AN EL CAP ETC. WHICH ISN'T QUITE THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION THAT WE SEE AROUND OUR OUTCOMES. AND SO I'M CURIOUS WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THIS AND WHEN YOU LOOKED AT WHAT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO WHETHER THOUGHT AS FAR AS WHAT THAT ARCHITECTURE SHOULD LOOK LIKE FROM GROUND UP THAT THEN PROVIDES THE SUPERINTENDENT WITH THAT INFORMATION OR RPA OR LEAD
WORKING TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AND STILL KEEP YOU KNOW, ALMOST IN THAT CONTINUAL CYCLE THE PRINCIPLES AND SITE ADMINISTRATORS IN THE LOOP SO THAT THEY ALSO YOU KNOW WE'RE GETTING THE FEEDBACK BACK DOWN OR YOU KNOW THERE IS THAT PROCESS. >> ONE OF THE THINGS AJ SAID IN OUR FIRST MEETING WAS THAT PROGRESS MONITORING SHOULD HAVE A RIGOROUS RELATIONSHIP WITH REALITY AND THAT IF A PRINCIPAL ,A SITE PRINCIPAL WERE TO SEE THE MONITORING REPORT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND BE LIKE OH YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT REFLECTS MY REALITY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY SCHOOL OR WHAT AND WHAT OUR GOALS ARE MOVING FORWARD AND SO THAT REQUIRES THE KIND OF INTERNAL FEEDBACK LOOP THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE GOOD AT THIS HAVE THAT AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THE STAFF WAS VERY HYPER HYPER FOCUSED ON WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IS HOW ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT DOESN'T EXIST REALLY VERY WELL YET. AND SO LIKE HOW DO THEY THAT'S REALLY THEIR JOB INTERNALLY IS TO CREATE THAT SYSTEM AND THAT RECOMMENDATION AROUND HAVING THE NEUTRAL CHIEF OF STAFF TYPE
PERSON WAS PART OF THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW RPA DOESN'T SUPERVISE LEAD NOR DO THEY SUPERVISE CNI RIGHT? THOSE ARE ALL SORT OF COEQUAL DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE YOU KNOW, ALL DOING THEIR PART. >> BUT BUT WHO'S THEN DRIVING THE STRATEGY? WHO'S ENSURING AND WHO'S ENSURING THAT THE PRINCIPALS ARE GIVING FEEDBACK AND THEY'RE GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THEIR TEACHERS THAT EVERYTHING IS KIND OF YOU KNOW, SO THAT THEY SO THAT WHAT'S REFLECTED IS REAL COMING FROM THE BOTTOM UP AND THAT THE STRATEGY IS UNIFIED ACROSS THE SYSTEM. SO YEAH THAT THE STAFF IS VERY AWARE OF THAT PROBLEM AND EXCITED ABOUT I THINK USING THIS AS A WAY TO BEGIN ADDRESSING IT INTERNALLY. UM ONE OF JOINING TO MAKE A MOTION TO EXTEND THE MEETING BEYOND 10 P.M. YES, YES. BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO FINISH THIS CONVERSATION. >> OKAY. SO JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON COMMISSIONER FISHER'S POINT AROUND QUESTIONS FROM FOUR MEMBERS, ONE THING THAT WE HAVE
DISCUSSED IN OUR LEADERSHIP IS HOW THE BOARD CAN SUPPORT THE SUPERINTENDENT BY CREATING THE SPACE FOR HER TO DO HER JOB BY NOT ASKING QUESTIONS THAT SEND HER CONSTANTLY CHASING OUR PET QUESTIONS OR ISSUES RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON ENACTING HER STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. AND SO TO THAT END WE HAVE ASKED THE SUPERINTENDENT TO PERFORM A BOARD TIME USE EVALUATION AND PROVIDED HER WITH OUTSIDE RESOURCES TO HELP ACCOMPLISH THAT SO THAT WE ACTUALLY CAN ESSENTIALLY DO AN AUDIT OVER TIME OF HOW MANY QUESTIONS AND IN EVERY SINGLE VENUE WHETHER IT'S A QUICK PHONE CALL OR CAN YOU LOOK THIS UP OR I'D LIKE TO REQUEST A BRIEFING OR I ASKED 50 QUESTIONS IN THE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS DOCUMENT AND IT TOOK STAFF EIGHT HOURS COLLECTIVELY TO ANSWER THOSE HOW MUCH SO WE CAN LOOK AT OURSELVES AND SAY HOW MUCH TIME EACH OF US BY NAME IS TAKING OF STAFF AND TO HAVE THAT MOMENT OF REFLECTION FOR OURSELVES AND THEN ALSO TO EMPOWER THE SUPERINTENDENT TO
COMPLY WITH OUR OWN BOARD POLICY WHICH IS THAT STAFF SHOULD NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT TAKE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES OF TIME FROM ANY INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONER UNLESS IT IS VOTED ON AND DIRECTED BY THE BOARD AS A WHOLE. SO WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE FURTHER DATA TO INFORM THAT NOT TO SUE AND THEN WE DO NEED TO MOVE. I JUST THANK YOU. THIS I LOVE THIS CONVERSATION. IT'S FASCINATING. THANK YOU. UM, I DO WANT TO I'M TRYING WITH OUR STAFF HERE OF JUST LIKE THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION. I DEFINITELY IMAGINE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT BUT IT'S VERY, VERY WELL WORTH IT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED. I WILL ALSO PUT ON TO THE TABLE THAT IT'S NOT JUST LEAD, IT'S NOT JUST RPA, RIGHT? IT ALSO MEANS OUR FACILITIES FOLKS NEED TO BE THERE OUR BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS AND D.O.T. BECAUSE SO MANY TIMES WE HEAR FROM OUR SITE LEADERS, OUR STUDENTS DON'T
HAVE LIKE THE ELEVATOR BROKE SO STUDENTS CANNOT GO UP OR DOWN OR GET THEIR SERVICES. BUT WE NEED TO HEAR THAT CONTEXT. SO MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY OR THE REASON WHY STUDENTS ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, COMING TO SCHOOL ON TIME OR REGULARLY IS BECAUSE THERE'S A TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM. SO IF WE PART OF OUR MONEY MONITORING PROCESS ENGAGE THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEN THEN I REALLY DO THINK WE ARE MOVING AS ONE AND I LOVE IT. I'M HERE FOR THAT. >> ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO VOTE TO A MOTION TO EXTEND OUR MEETING PAST 10:00 SECOND, CAN WE DO REAL COVER PLEASE? OKAY. COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER? YES. COMMISSIONER FISHER YES. COMMISSIONER GUPTA. YES. VICE PRESIDENT. VICE PRESIDENT HEALEY. YES. YES. COMMISSIONER RAY YES. COMMISSIONER WISEMAN WARD YES. AND PRESIDENT KIM YES. >> MOVING TO OUR FINAL ITEM ON
THE AGENDA DO WE SO VICE PRESIDENT HULING ASKED US DID WE LAND ON TWO? DID WE LAND ON A DO WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >> I WOULD LOVE TO JUST SEE LIKE A STRAW POLL LIKE THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN ON DO PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE TO 50% OF MEETINGS AND YOU KNOW, RUTHLESS FIDELITY TO MONITORING MEETINGS BEING ONLY FOR MONITORING OR DO PEOPLE WANT TO TRY TO MOVE TO 5050 BY INCORPORATING MONITORING INTO BUSINESS MEETINGS SO MAYBE FOLKS COULD JUST GIVE A THUMBS UP IF THEY PREFER THE DEDICATED MEETING STRUCTURE? I MEAN I JUST AND I AND A THUMBS UP IF THEY PREFER INCORPORATING MONITORING INTO EVERY MEETING I MEAN I'LL JUST SAY I I HEAR LOT OF STRONG BOARD DIRECTION HEARING I MEAN BECAUSE HERE'S MY HERE'S MY CHALLENGE I LEAN TOWARDS YES STRONGER LINES OF 5050 AND LIKE ARE THERE GOING TO BE TIMES WHERE WE JUST REALISTICALLY CAN ACTUALLY OPTIMIZE THE MEETING TO DO BOTH?
YES. RIGHT. SO LIKE SO I'M KIND OF LIKE 7,580% TOWARDS YES HARD LINE 5050. >> I WILL REMIND YOU THOUGH THAT CLEAR DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD TO STAFF WILL ENABLE THEM TO BRING US A GOVERNANCE CALENDAR. NO SIR. I'M WELL AWARE. YEAH BUT BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS LIKE I THINK THE ANSWER IS LIKE YES WE SHOULD SET A GOVERNANCE CALENDAR THAT HAS THAT LAID OUT SO MAYBE I'M JUST CONVINCING MYSELF TO A YES. I MEAN THERE'S THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT IT THAT I THINK IS INHERENTLY PROBLEMATIC. I, I AM YEAH. >> I THINK THIS IS THE QUESTION OF DISCIPLINE RIGHT? LIKE I THINK YOU AND I THINK WE CAN DO CONSENT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S CLEAR FROM STAFF THAT I CONSENT ITEMS COME UP ALL THE TIME AND THERE'S YOU KNOW IF WE DON'T HAVE A CONSENT CALENDAR IT'S IT GETS REALLY HARD AND MAYBE THE PIP VOTE OR IF ASKED TO BE OR WHATEVER LIKE THAT TAKES FIVE MINUTES LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL BUT IF YOU HAD LIKE A SECTION AT THE END WHICH IS LIKE I GET CONSENT AND ANY REALLY ESSENTIAL THINGS THAT LIMITED TO TEN MINUTES TOTAL
YOU KNOW BUT IT HAS TO BE DISCIPLINE. I THINK THAT'S THE THAT'S THE KEY AND YOU GOT TO HAVE TO BE LIKE NOPE NOPE SUPER. NO SORRY SORRY. YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO SAY NO. I'M JUST LOOKING AROUND AT SIX FACES WHO I KNOW ARE GOING TO CALL ME UP AND SAY ALL RIGHT. SO I MEAN I THINK I'M I'M WILLING TO SAY LIKE YEAH, LET'S BE VERY DISCIPLINED WITH OUR CALENDAR AS LONG AS LIKE WE HAVE A BOARD MAJORITY THAT IS THAT SAYS THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED AND WE'RE EMPOWERING BOARD LEADERSHIP TO SET AN AGENDA THAT MEETS THAT REQUIREMENT. >> CAN I COMMENT ON THIS? I THINK THAT WHAT COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER POINTED OUT IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR TO ME THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE CONSENT IN EVERY MEETING BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WORRY THAT WE'LL BE EXCLUDING THINGS LIKE STUDENT FIELD TRIPS AND LIKE THE I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT LIKE I'D HAVE THINGS THAT REALLY NEGATIVELY AFFECT STUDENTS BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE IT ON A BUSINESS CALENDAR ONCE A MONTH. THAT'S THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR ME. IF WE HAD A CONSENT AGENDA WHICH DOES NOT BY THE WAY WE DO IT TAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME MY CONCERN GOES DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND I IMAGINE
THAT THERE WILL BE SOME KIND OF LEGAL THING THAT WE MUST DO AT SOME POINT. THAT'S MY OTHER CONCERN. BUT BRINGING THE CONSENT THING ON IS I THINK VERY HELPFUL FROM MY PERSPECTIVE HAVING A RIGHT THERE WITH YOU COMMISSIONER RAY AND THAT WOULD IF IF THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS CAN BE MADE THEN IT FEELS TOTALLY POSSIBLE TO ME SO AND WE FIND A WAY TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY VOICE IN THE WORK. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO STOP THIS CONVERSATION AND TRANSITION JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. THAT WAS NOT A VOTE THAT WAS A THAT WAS A DISCUSSION. IT WAS A DISCUSSION THAT WAS TAKING A VOTE. YES, JUST A STRAW POLL. OKAY. DISCUSSION. DISCUSSION. SO THE TENDENCY TO INFORM STAFF AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. YOU CAN TURN OUR ATTENTION TO YOU KNOW IT IS TO OUR TO PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM AS WE SHARED AT LAST MEETING WE WANT TO BRING AND SHARE WITH THE BOARD OUR PLANS FOR EXPANSION AND TODAY WE WANT TO BRIEFLY SHARE WITH OUR WITH THE BOARD THE PLANS FOR D.K. EXPANSION THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
SO I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO THE AMAZING TEAM IN FRONT OF YOU TO PRESENT. THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT KIM VICE PRESIDENT HULING COMMISSIONERS WE ALSO HAVE ON THE LINE DOCTOR KRISTI HERRERA. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US VIRTUALLY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO AS DR. SU MENTIONED, THIS IS THE UPDATE TO A PRIOR CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD RELATED TO THE EFFORT BASED ON BOARD DIRECTION IN OCTOBER TO MOVE FROM MORE CRISIS MANAGEMENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO STRATEGIC PLANNING AS WE HAVE ALREADY MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT TO STABILIZATION. SO NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN REALLY IMPROVE AND EXPAND PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN HIGH DEMAND TO MEET PARENTS NEEDS AND YOU KNOW, IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. IT IS ROOTED IN THE VISION FOR US TO BE ABLE TO INFUSE THE
DISTRICT WITH PROGRAMS THAT WILL ENABLE US TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN FAMILIES AND ALSO RE DESIGN AND RETHINK OUR SCHOOL PORTFOLIO AND STUDENTS PERMANENT ENROLLMENT SYSTEM SO THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SET STUDENTS UP FOR GENERAL GENERATIONAL SUCCESS ALIGNED WITH THE CONVERSATION THAT THE BOARD JUST HAD TO BE ABLE TO CENTER OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES AS CENTRAL TO THE DESIGN AND THINKING IN HOW WE WOULD LEVERAGE DIFFERENT LEVERS AT OUR DISPOSAL INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO OUR PROGRAMS AS ARE POLICIES AND ALSO THE WAY THAT WE ADMINISTER AND OPERATIONALIZE THESE POLICIES. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE YOU HAVE THE TIMELINE THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED. THERE ARE THREE PHASES TO THIS WORK. THE FIRST ONE IS RELATED TO PROGRAMMATIC EXPANSION. WE ARE SHARING AN UPDATE ON EARLY EDUCATION AND TEACHING EXPANSION TONIGHT AND IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS WE WILL ALSO BE SHARING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO THE SPECIAL
EDUCATION COUNTY PROGRAM THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO PILOT IN THE 2627 SCHOOL YEAR. AND ALSO THE UPCOMING TCA EIGHT MANDARIN IMMERSION SCHOOL LAUNCH THAT WE ARE ALSO PLANNING FOR THE 2728 SCHOOL YEAR. THE SECOND PHASE OF THIS EFFORT WILL BE CENTERED IN THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT REDESIGN AND ALSO THE REVAMPING OF OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENT SYSTEM AND POLICIES AND ANY CLOSURES MERGERS OR COLLOCATIONS WILL FOLLOW THAT PROCESS. I'M NOW GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO THE TEAM TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON EARLY EDUCATION AND EXPANSION. THANKS HONG MAY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS KIND OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHERE WE'RE HEADING AS WELL. SO AS YOU CAN SEE IN 2021 WE HAD 20 4TK PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND CURRENTLY IN 2526 WE HAVE 88 CLASSROOMS. >> THERE WAS A HIGH DEMAND FOR
TC WHILE BALANCING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE EXISTING PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS WE HAD TO WORK HARD AS A TEAM WITH LEAD IN EARLY ED AND ENROLLMENT TO LOOK AT WHERE WE COULD DO THIS EXPANSION EFFORTS. AND WE'VE SEEN THAT THERE'S BEEN A HIGHER DEMAND OF T K IN THE LAST YEARS. RECENTLY WE RECEIVED 2200 APPLICATIONS FOR 2627. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE HAND OVER TO LAUREN. ALL RIGHTY. HELLO COMMISSIONERS. SO WE'VE MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES TO THE ASSIGNMENT POLICY TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWTH IN TC. THE FIRST ONE WAS 2526 CHANGING TC TO BE THE SAME CRITERIA AS K FIVE SO MAKING SURE THAT STUDENTS HAD PREFERENCE THAT THEIR ATTENDANCE AREA SCHOOLS AS YOU GUYS KNOW NOT EVERY SCHOOL CAN ACCOMMODATE TC. SO NOW EVERY ATTENDANCE AREA A SCHOOL THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TC CLASSROOM ON SITE BECAUSE OF FACILITIES CONSTRAINTS IS PART OF A TC FEEDER PATTERN. THOSE ARE HERE. WE ENROLLED THEM FOR THE FIRST
TIME FOR THE 2627 SCHOOL YEAR. >> BUT WE ARE SEEING THAT DEMAND FOR TC IS STILL EXCEEDING THE AVAILABLE SPACES THAT WE HAVE. >> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS A MAP OF THE CAPACITY SHORTAGES BY NEIGHBORHOOD IN SAN FRANCISCO. >> SO EACH REGION IS HIGHLIGHTED DIFFERENT COLOR THE ORANGE AND RED VARIANTS ARE WHERE YOU SEE A SHORTAGE OF SEATS SPECIFICALLY ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAN FRANCISCO. THE BLUE SECTIONS AND THE TAN SECTION IN THE MISSION AREA AND THE MIDDLE ARE WHERE WE HAVE MORE SEATS THAN STUDENT APPLICATIONS. SO WHERE WE HAVE MANY MORE STUDENTS THAN SPACES WE ASSIGN STUDENTS TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. HOWEVER THIS CAN MEAN LONG COMMUTES AND IT ALSO SOMETIMES MEANS THAT FAMILIES CAN'T ACCEPT THE T K ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE IT IS TOO FAR FROM THEIR HOME. SO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WE ARE STARTING TO SETS OF CAPITAL PROJECTS TO ASSIGN OR TO CREATE ADDITIONAL T K SEATS. THANK YOU. SO THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT IS
EXPANDING TC AND THE SUNSET DISTRICT BY ABOUT EIGHT CLASSROOMS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS AT FIVE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT JUST SIMPLY ADDING SEATS FOR T K. THEY ARE ALSO ADDRESSING SOME KEY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS. SO AT SUNSET AND LON ELEMENTARY FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE TEMPORARY HOUSING BUNGALOWS WHICH IS TYPICAL ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THEY'RE ONLY EVER MEANT TO BE TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR SEATS THEY END UP BEING THERE FOR 50 YEARS. SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT TEMPORARY HOUSING IS? OH, THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS. >> SO A IN A TIME OF NEED WHEN THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM INSIDE THE SCHOOL TO HOUSE ALL THE STUDENTS AND WE NEED TO EXPAND THE CLASSROOM SPACES WE ASSEMBLED TEMPORARY BUNGALOWS THESE BUNGALOWS WERE ONLY EVER INTENDED TO BE ON SITE FOR A FEW YEARS DURING AN
INTERMEDIARY PERIOD. IN SOME CASES THEY'VE BEEN ON SITE FOR 50 YEARS OR SO WELL PAST THEIR LIFESPAN. THESE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO REPLACE THESE BUNGALOWS WITH MORE PERMANENT STRUCTURES WHERE THE CAPACITY IS NEEDED OR JUST TO IMPROVE THE FACILITY FOR THE STUDENTS. SO IT'S NOT JUST CRAMMING IN T K STUDENTS. IT'S ALSO IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENTS FOR SUNSET AND LATE AND WE ARE ALSO TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOL YARDS. SO IT'S A IT'S A HOLISTIC APPROACH. JEFFERSON. SO ACROSS ALL OF THESE SITES WILL BE ADDING EIGHT K CLASSROOMS AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FEEDER CLASSROOMS TO FRANCIS SCOTT KEY IN ADDITION TO ADDING FOR SUNSET LOT IN JEFFERSON AND YOU LOWER. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. IN THE CENTRAL REGION THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS SOME BUILDING USE EFFICIENCIES AND LEVERAGE SOME OPPORTUNITIES HERE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO ROLL OUT TC
PROGRAMS, THE EASY LIFTS ARE WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF EASY LIFTS WHERE WE CAN FIT TCAS INTO CODE COMPLIANT SPACES. WE'RE NOW FACING THE NEED TO DO CONSTRUCTION AND THEY'RE MUCH COSTLIER. IT'S A MUCH LONGER TIMELINE SO YOU'LL SEE PROJECTS THAT NOW TAKE 2 TO 3 YEARS LONG BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO CODE COMPLIANT CONSTRUCTION WITH THE JUNIPERO SERRA ANNEX NOT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE JUNIPERO SERRA ANNEX IS ON LEASED PROPERTY RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT A PROPERTY WE OWN AGAIN IT IS IN THESE BUNGALOWS THAT ONLY EVER INTENDED TO HOUSE TEMPORARILY THERE WELL BEYOND THEIR LIFESPAN. IT WOULD REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO REPLACE THOSE AND IT'S NOT A PROPERTY THAT WE OWN WHILE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE STUDENTS INTO AVAILABLE SPACES. IT IS IN THE DISTRICT'S BEST INTEREST TO UTILIZE AND MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS. SO IN THIS CASE WE ARE PROPOSING THAT IN THE EVENT THAT JUNIPERO SERRA ANNEX IS
DECOMMISSIONED THAT THOSE STUDENTS IN THOSE CLASSES GO TO MISSION EDUCATION CENTER. THAT'S IT FOR ME. I THINK THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. SORRY, JUST ONE MORE NOTE. I DO WANT TO FLAG THAT ON SLIDE FIVE WE HAVE TO UPDATE THE MAP. SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE INADVERTENTLY NOT INCLUDED HARVEY MILK. THEY HAVE A THRIVING, THRIVING TECH COMMUNITY AND AND THAT WAS AND THAT WAS A TECHNICAL ERROR BUT WE ARE GOING TO UPLOAD AN UPDATED SLIDE DECK THAT REFLECTS ALL OF OUR TIKI COMMUNITIES BUT I DID WANT TO JUST FOR THE PARENTS WHO ARE LISTENING LET YOU KNOW WE GOT YOUR NOTE AND WE WILL FIX IT. THANK YOU. CAN I JUST ALSO APOLOGIZE TO THE HARVEY MILK COMMUNITY? I AM SO SORRY THAT THAT IS THE CASE. I WAS AN EXTREME OVERSIGHT. I AM SO SORRY. THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST QUESTION I ASK GIVEN THE OUTREACH THAT I RECEIVED
LEADING UP TO THIS MEETING SO MILK FAMILIES WHO ARE LISTENING. WE GOT YOU. WE WILL REHASH IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO REISSUE THE MAP? WOULD THAT BE? YES, WE CAN REMAKE IT. THANK YOU AND YOU'RE RIGHT ON TIME. OKAY, SO I'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS OR NOT I CAN START BUT GO FOR IT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL FOLLOW UP ON COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN WARD'S QUESTIONING OF THE NIGHT AND HIRING WITH THESE EXPANSIONS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE HEARING FROM FAMILIES AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS LACK OF QUALIFIED STAFF IN OUR SCHOOLS IF WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE STAFFING EXISTING CLASSROOMS I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO STAFF UP NEW CLASSROOMS. SO WHERE DO WE STAND IN HIRING? HOW MANY VACANCIES, HOW MANY IN PIPELINE IN PROCESS WOULD ARE WE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A QUALIFIED TEACHER IN ALL OF
THESE NEW CLASSROOMS BY THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ALL CLASSROOMS DO. >> THAT'S QUESTION ONE. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FISCHER YES, THAT IS THE GOAL FOR US TO BE FULLY STAFFED. THAT'S ACTUALLY THE GOAL EVERY YEAR. THIS IS THE REASON WHY H.R. HAS BEEN A PART OF THESE CONVERSATIONS. AMY AND HER TEAM HAVE BEEN A PART OF THESE CONVERSATIONS FROM THE BEGINNING. WE THIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY IT'S A THREE YEAR SPAN AS OPPOSED TO A RIGHT OFF THE BAT WE DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO CREATE A CLASSROOM THAT WE CANNOT STAFF BUT WE ALSO WANT TO BALANCE THE DEMAND. AND AS YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD WE THE DEMAND IS VERY GREAT AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SERVE ALL OF OUR FAMILIES AND DOCTORS. WHO CAN I ADD THAT WE ADDED TECH FOR THE EARLY HIRING LISTS AS WELL AS OUR B CLOUD TEACHERS AND SPECIAL ED TEACHERS THIS YEAR. >> SO IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST POSTINGS THAT WAS POSTED. HOW HAS THAT WORKED?
DO WE HAVE IT HAS WORKED, YEAH. >> WE ARE SOME OF THE NEW CLASSROOMS THAT ARE OPENING FOR NEXT YEAR. WE HAVE EIGHT OFFERS OUT RIGHT NOW FOR NEW T T K TEACHERS. THERE WAS A STAFFING DASHBOARD THAT WAS CREATED FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE MOST CONCERNED IN THIS MOST RECENT ROUND OF MSE IS THAT CAN TO BE UPDATED AND MAINTAINED FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR? >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I CAN DEFINITELY ASK IT THE NEW OUR NEW ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT JAMES BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE SO I CAN IMAGINE THAT WE CAN VERY EASILY UPDATE IT TO TO TO STAFFING CAPACITY FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. YEAH AND THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS IN PART BECAUSE I THINK I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY FROM PARENTS AS EXPERIENCED IN THE MOST RECENT K VACANCIES AROUND WHAT THEY CAN DO TO SUPPORT AND HELP FIND CANDIDATES AND BUT NOT KNOWING UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE THAT THERE IS A VACANCY THAT'S GOING TO SUSTAIN IS GOING TO IT'S PARTLY THE CHALLENGE AND SO IF
WE CAN THE EARLIER AND THE MORE CONSISTENTLY WE CAN UPDATE THAT INFORMATION, I THINK THE BETTER . SORRY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FISHER NO, I APPRECIATE THAT AND STRONGER TOGETHER RIGHT. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFUL A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO, YOU KNOW, SPENDING OUR DOLLARS WISELY WHEN IT COMES TO FACILITIES UPGRADE AND MAKING SURE THAT EARLY ED UPGRADES ARE IN COLLABORATION WITH BUNGALOW REPLACEMENT. SO THANK YOU FOR HOLISTIC I WOULD THE BECAUSE IT'S 1030 THE KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE COMES TO MIND BUT I DON'T I HATE THAT EXPRESSION I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS A BETTER ONE. MY LAST QUESTION IS REALLY AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY WHERE I LIVE I LIVE IN DISTRICT 11 AND ZIP CODE 94112 IS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF US OF USED STUDENT SHORTAGES AND I'M NOT SURE OUR WHAT ARE OUR STRATEGIES IN DISTRICT 11 TO INCREASE EARLY ED SITES THERE IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE THAT. SURE I CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT IF YOU WOULD GO TO THE SLIDE
THAT HAS THE FEEDER PATTERNS ON THERE. YES. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. SO AS YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE FEEDER PATTERNS ARE LOOKING AT SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH PART 94112 AREA AND SO I THINK THAT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'LL BE MAKING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WILL DIRECTLY HELP THE SOUTH PART OF TOWN. SO ADDITIONAL CLASSES AT MISSION EDGE CENTER ADD CAPACITY AT SUNNYSIDE WHICH IS SORT OF IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. ALSO SOME CHANGES THAT WE WILL MAKE IT MCLAREN BECAUSE WE CAN MOVE ON SAY THE T K CLASSROOM AT CLEVELAND AND THE T K CLASSROOM AT BBH IN FUTURE YEARS THAT WILL OPEN CLASSROOM SPACE IN THE FUTURE. >> MCLAREN THAT WE CAN USE TO DO MORE FEEDERS TO SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTHEAST BUT THIS DOESN'T REQUIRE A FACILITY CHANGES AND COMMISSIONER TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. I LOVE THAT AND YOU'RE FEEDING THEM RIGHT INSTEAD OF KILLING THEM YOU'RE FEEDING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. >> I LIKE THAT. THANK YOU. >> STRATEGIC QUESTIONS.
REALLY IMPORTANT. >> COMMISSIONER RAY EVENING, EVERYONE. >> THANKS FOR BEING HERE. LATE AS USUAL. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS ASKED STAFF RESPONSE INDICATED THAT WE ARE NOT FULLY MEETING THE DEMAND FOR ABOUT 360 ADDITIONAL TICKETS IN CENTRAL SOUTH AND WESTERN S.F.. I KNOW WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE AND IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE THAT WE HAVE GONE FROM 24 TO 288 K CLASSES BUT THAT IS ALSO A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT WE'RE NOT SERVING DO WE HAVE ANY ANY ESTIMATES AS TO OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THAT POPULATION OF STUDENTS AND WHAT TIMEFRAME? YEAH. I CAN TAKE THE FIRST HOUR AS I MENTIONED WE'VE KIND OF GOTTEN ALL THE LOW LISTS RIGHT? SO ALL THE CLASSROOMS THAT WE COULD CONVERT INTO T K CLASSROOMS EASILY WITH MINIMAL INTERFERENCE WITH MINIMAL DISRUPTION INTO THE PROGRAMING
WITH MINIMAL CONSTRUCTION THOSE HAVE PRETTY MUCH ALL BEEN DONE. SO WHAT WE'RE MOVING INTO NOW IS REALLY LIKE THE 2 TO 3 YEAR TIMELINES OF HAVING TO DO SOME CONSTRUCTION THAT THAT GETS US UP TO CODE COMPLIANCE. SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE MAP RIGHT NOW IN THIS CENTRAL AREA WE DO NEED TO DO SOME CONFIGURATIONS AND THERE ARE WITHIN EACH SCHOOL THERE MAY BE VACANT CLASSROOMS BUT THERE ARE VERY CLEAR CODE REQUIREMENTS ABOUT T, K AND K. IT HAS TO DO WITH EGRESS, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING AND HAS TO DO WITH RESTROOMS. SO THESE ARE NOT CHEAP FIX OR EASY FIXES SO I DON'T HAVE A DEFINITIVE TIMELINE FOR YOU BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU CHRISTY, LAUREN, KAREN SULLIVAN AND I MEET WEEKLY TO TRY TO ACCELERATE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. >> TO KATY'S POINT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING NOW IS REPROGRAMING SOME SITES WHICH MEANS LOOKING AT THE ARRANGEMENT OF THEIR CLASSROOMS AND THINKING ABOUT WHETHER A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT MAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO PUT K IN THAT BUILDING.
WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS BECAUSE OFTEN IT'S CONTRARY TO THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY HAVE IN THE BUILDING OR THE WAY THAT THEY DO THEIR SPECIAL PROGRAMING. BUT WE'RE GOING TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THERE'S PLACES THAT WE COULD DO THAT THAT WOULD OPEN UP SPACE FOR TWO K CLASSROOMS. THANK YOU. UM, SO I APPRECIATE THIS INFORMATION. UM, I, I DO WONDER WELL I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING CONTROVERSIAL ABOUT THE EXPANSION OF T K IN THAT ONE. WE LEGALLY HAVE TO PROVIDE A SPACE FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS ONE ANYWAY AND TWO, I THINK MY PRIMARY CONCERN WAS AROUND STAFFING WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT TAKING A STEP BACK THOUGH FROM T K SPECIFICALLY I'M I WILL SAY I'M STILL UNCLEAR ON THE CONVERSATION WE STARTED LAST WEEK AROUND MAJOR DECISIONS THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO HAVE NOW AND WHEN WE'LL BE ENGAGED ON THE EXISTING DATA TO HELP TO INFORM THE PROPOSED TIMELINE AND WE HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THAT INFORMATION. THINGS LIKE DRAFT ZONE MAPS,
DISCUSSION OF OUR EXISTING BOARD POLICY, UH ENROLLMENT DATA WHICH WE'RE KIND OF STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT HERE BUT I DO BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US AND THE PUBLIC TO MAKE SENSE OF THAT INFORMATION THAT HAS INFORMED STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION BOTH LIKE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE SENSE OF LIKE WHY ENROLLMENT FIRST WHY THIS PARTICULAR TIMELINE BUT ALSO IN THE NON AFFIRMATIVE SENSE OF WHY NOT PORTFOLIO GO SIMULTANEOUSLY WHY NOT FASTER THAN WE WOULD LIKE SO THAT OUR FEEDBACK CAN BE ACTIONABLE. I ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE OF WHEN IS THE LATEST BY WHICH FEEDBACK NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE TIMELINE TO CHANGE IN THE CONTENT AND SEQUENCING TO CHANGE IF AT ALL? AND WHAT I HEARD FROM YOU DR. SU THIS WEEK WAS THAT THE LAST THAT WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW IS BY THE JUNE 23RD MEETING WHICH IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN MATERIALS ARE COMING OUT ON JUNE 11TH WE HAVE A JUNE 9TH MEETING.
I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE NOT SPENDING OUR BOARD TIME RIGHT NOW GIVING MEANINGFUL FEEDBACK ON THE PLAN TO STAFF AND THE SUPERINTENDENT ON SOMETHING THAT IS QUITE CRITICAL IN TERMS OF TIMELINE AND PACING AND CONTENT AND AND SO I THINK MY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS PREVIOUS TO THE JUNE 23RD MEETING? WELL, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION TO COVER IN ORDER FOR US TO UNDERSTAND FULLY THE IMPLICATIONS OF MAKING ANY SORT OF RECOMMENDATION TO CHANGE COURSE . I CAN'T IMAGINE I MEAN THAT LAST MEETING ALSO HAS BUDGET ADOPTION L CAP ETC. I I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND RIGHT LIKE IF JUNE 23RD IS THE DROP DEAD DEADLINE BY WHICH THE BOARD CAN GIVE MEANINGFUL FEEDBACK THAT INFORMS THE PROCESS IN PLANNING OF MAJOR DECISIONS THEN WHAT ARE THE AREAS OF FEEDBACK THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY GIVE THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND HELPFUL AND NECESSARY AND KNOWING THAT THEN IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WELL WHAT INFORMATION DO WE
NEED TO ACTUALLY GIVE FEEDBACK APPROPRIATELY IN THAT SENSE RIGHT. WELL I THINK JUST SO TODAY WE WE HEARD FEEDBACK AROUND THE PLAN FOR EXPANSION FOR T K IS CONTROVERSIAL AND AND SEEMS APPROPRIATE AND WHAT WE COULD DO IS IS PERHAPS SHORTEN THE PRESENTATION AT NEXT OUR NEXT PRESENT AT THE NEXT MEETING WHICH IS ON MAY 28TH 26 MAY 26TH WHERE WE I ASSUME WOULD ALSO BE NON CONTROVERSIAL IN TERMS OF THE EXPANSION OF OUR SPECIAL ED SCHOOL OUR NEW SPECIAL ED SCHOOL AGAIN FIRST FIRST AND AS A FEW AS DS HISTORY AND AND THEN MAYBE HOLD SOME TIME THERE TO TO TO DISCUSS THE ENROLLMENT DATA THAT WE SHARED PREVIOUSLY OR THE TREND DATA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND THE PROJECTIONS SO WE COULD DO THAT I'M LOOKING AT STAFF TO IS THAT AGREEABLE? YES SUPERINTENDENT WE CAN DO THAT AND AND I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR LIKE I DON'T I KNOW THAT IT'S LIKE A WEEK TURNAROUND SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY EVEN A REQUEST FOR NEW NEWLY PACKAGE INFORMATION. IT'S JUST WHAT WHAT IS THE
INFORMATION THAT STAFF LOOKED AT THAT HELPED TO INFORM THE CURRENT STRATEGY AS IT IS PROPOSED NOW SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT AND BUY INTO IT RIGHT LIKE AND SUPPORT THAT ENTHUSIASTICALLY. WE JUST AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PRETTY LENGTHY BOARD BRIEFING PACKET THAT WAS PROVIDED I MEAN EVEN IF WE WERE TO JUST PULL THAT AN AGENDA IS THAT AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WHERE WE GO THROUGH THOSE MATERIALS AND LIKE I THINK THE BIGGER QUESTION FOR ME IS HOW DO WE GET FROM THAT MATERIAL TO THE PLAN THAT'S BEING PROPOSED ,RIGHT? SO THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY GIVE MEANINGFUL FEEDBACK ON ON PLAN AS IT STANDS NOW THAT'S A THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA. I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE WE HAVE PASSED THE 12 DAY POSTING FOR MAY 2826 BUT IF THE BOARD ALLOWS US THEN WE CAN POST ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE HAVE SHARED THROUGH OUR BOE WEEKLY. THE BOARD BULLETIN THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND WE CAN GATHER ALL OF THAT INFORMATION AND REPOST IT SO THAT WE COULD THEN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.
YES WE CAN DO THAT AND BUT WE COULD ALSO DO IS PROVIDE THE BRIEFING PACKET AS SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS TO SUPPORT THE MAJOR DECISIONS DISCUSSION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN AGENDA AND THEN ADDITIONALLY PROVIDE MAYBE AN EXECUTIVE BRIEF THAT WOULD HELP JUMPSTART THE CONVERSATION. I AM ALSO HEARING THAT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR US TO DO LIKE A PACING GUIDE BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE 26TH WHEN WE BRING THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT PACING GUIDE TO THE BOARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 18 MONTHS OF THIS ENGAGEMENT. I MEAN I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND ALSO TO HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW THAT DATA HAS INFORMED THE SUPERINTENDENTS RECOMMENDATIONS. ONE THING I THINK THAT WAS SAID BY THE SUPERINTENDENT WAS THAT YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO DO ASSIGNMENT AND THEN WE SEE WHERE OUR STUDENTS ARE AND THEN WE MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT SCHOOLS BUT WE KNOW WHERE OUR STUDENTS ARE. WE KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE. WE KNOW OUR APPLICANTS LIVE.
WE KNOW WHERE THEY CHOOSE TO APPLY. SO I'M I'M A LITTLE BIT AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT DATA IT IS THAT WE NEED IN ORDER FOR ADDICT STUDENT AND FAMILY REQUEST PATTERNS AND LOCATIONS IF ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE MOVING TO A LOCATION BASED SYSTEM. WE VERY MUCH KNOW WHERE STUDENTS ARE IN THIS CAPACITY. YOU KNOW MAP SHOWS WHERE WE HAVE AND WHERE WE NEED CAPACITY . AND SO I ACTUALLY WOULD I WILL INJECT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROVERSY INTO THE TCA EXPANSION QUESTION AS AN INCOMING K PARENT, I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM A WHOLE LOT OF MY FELLOW COHORT OF TECH APPLICANTS THAT THEY DID NOT ENROLL IN S OF U.S. TECH EVEN THOUGH THEY WANTED TO BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ASSIGNED A LOCATION THAT WAS WORKABLE FOR THEM. AND I THINK THAT THIS CAPACITY SHORTAGE BY NEIGHBORHOOD IS A BIG PART OF IT. I'M ACTUALLY I BELIEVE IN A LOCATION WHERE IT SAYS THAT WE
HAVE ADDITIONAL SEATS BUT THERE ARE FAMILIES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO DIDN'T GET SEATS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE MY PRESUMPTION IS THAT THOSE SEATS ARE ALSO BEING USED TO OFFSET SHORTAGE IN OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND I'M SURE THOSE FAMILIES WOULD ALSO, YOU KNOW, LIKE TO REDUCE THEIR COMMUTES. AND SO I AM ACTUALLY CURIOUS JUST ABOUT THE THE ADEQUACY AND AMBITION OF THIS T K EXPANSION PLAN BECAUSE WHILE BY MY MATH IT TAKES US FROM 1760 CLASSROOMS TO 1900 CLASSROOMS AND STUDENTS I'M SORRY STUDENTS THE STUDENTS BY THE NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS EXPANDED SORRY YEAH I USE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS BY THE 20 MAXIMUM CAPACITY AND THAT'S STILL 300 SHORT OF OUR APPLICANTS. SO EVEN WITH THIS PLAN TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ESSENTIALLY STILL PLANNING ON HAVING 300 SPOTS FEWER THAN WE NEED AND I DO WORRY ABOUT WHERE THEY'RE BEING ADDED IF THE SUPERINTENDENTS GOAL IS TO MOVE
TO A ZONE OR OTHER GEOGRAPHICALLY BASED ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM, IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL THAT WE ARE PLANNING FOR THAT NOW AND RIGHT NOW I SEE THAT I DON'T SEE ANY PLAN TO ADDRESS FULLY THE SHORTAGE IN THE SOUTH IN YOU KNOW DOGPATCH POTRERO AREAS IN THE RICHMOND OR IN CENTRAL WEST PORTAL AREAS AND SOME OF THESE FEATURES WELL IT'S A REALLY GREAT STOPGAP GAP THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE ZONES THAT THIS STUDENTS ARE IN LIKE A WEST PORTAL I DON'T THINK IT'S REFLECTED ON HERE ACTUALLY BUT I BELIEVE A WEST PORTAL AND SUNNY SIDE CLASSROOMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MSE. SO THOSE ARE ACROSS ZONES OR WE'RE EXPECTING FAMILIES WHO PREFER LILIENTHAL AS THEIR LOCATION TO COMMUTE TO TO THE ELK OR WHO PREFER WEBSTER AS THEIR LOCATION TO COMMUTE YOU KNOW ACROSS I WAS KIND OF A HALL I WILL SAY AS A PARENT AND SOMETIMES NOT IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR WORK MAKES IT HARDER TO THAT. RODRIGUEZ IS AND SO YEAH I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IS THERE SOME SORT OF OPERATIONAL COHERENCE BETWEEN THIS PLAN
AND AN EVENTUAL MOVE TO GEOGRAPHIC BASED ASSIGNMENT AND WHAT MORE ARE WE PLANNING BEYOND THIS TO ACTUALLY MEET THE DEMAND? YES, FOR SURE. THIS IS WHY AGAIN WE'RE STARTING OUT WITH WITH THE EXPANSION AND THEN AS WE'RE MAPPING OUT THE THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT REDESIGN, WE'RE AGAIN SEEING WHERE THE NEEDS ARE. HOW DO WE MAXIMIZE SPACE IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS. JUST TO BE CLEAR, WE DO KNOW WHERE THEY WHERE STUDENTS LIVE . WHAT WE DON'T KNOW IS WHETHER OR NOT A FAMILY WOULD CHOOSE THE SCHOOL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR THEY CHOOSE A LANGUAGE PATHWAY SCHOOL OR THEY CHOOSE A K-8 SCHOOL OR THEY THEY CHOOSE A NEWCOMER PATHWAY . SO THOSE SO SO AGAIN THE PREDICTABILITY OF OF SCHOOLS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE OUR SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT AND THEN
CHOICE IS WHERE THE OPTIONS ARE THE CHOICES OF AGAIN THOSE THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OF OPPORTUNITIES AND THAT'S WHERE THE LOOKING AT THE DATA AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE NEEDS HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH FAMILIES SO THAT WE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND THE DEMANDS OUT THERE IF WE WERE TO CREATE A TCA EIGHT IMMERSION PROGRAM IN THIS AREA AND IF I THINK OH SORRY IF I MAY JUST ADD ON TO YOUR POINT SUPERINTENDENT PART OF THE PROCESS IS TO ESTABLISH ZONES, RIGHT? WOULD ALSO NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE COMPLEXITIES BETWEEN THE CURRENT STATE AND THE FUTURE STATE OF HOW WE WOULD WANT TO ACCOUNT FOR DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD OPTIONS CITY WIDE PROGRAMS AND ALSO FEEDER PATTERNS WITHIN A PARTICULAR ZONE. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY AN AREA THAT WE WOULD NEED DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD TO BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY PUT IN PLACE ZONES AND THAT IS A FAR MORE COMPLEX CONVERSATION THAT REQUIRES YOU
KNOW I THINK JUST JUST A DEEPER CONVERSATION BUT I DO WANT TO FLAG THAT THAT IS PART OF WHAT WE ARE WRESTLING WITH AND THERE IS A PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER FOR US TO LAND ON CLARITY FOR THAT IN TERMS OF DESIGN. BUT I GUESS I WILL JUST PUSH AND SAY WE DO KNOW THAT THIS PLAN DOES NOT MEET THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES FOR TECH BY ABOUT 15 CLASSROOMS I BELIEVE AND SO I WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD AT LEAST BE AMBITIOUS ENOUGH TO HAVE A PLAN THAT ADDS THE NUMBER OF TICKS THAT WE NEED AND IF WE'RE MOVING AWAY FROM A CHOICE SYSTEM, I REMAIN A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED AS TO WHY CHOICE PLAYS SUCH A LARGE ROLE IN KNOWING WHERE WE WANT TO HAVE TICKS BECAUSE WE WILL NEED TO HAVE THEM EVENLY DISPERSED WHERE OUR FAMILIES ARE AND WE DO KNOW WHERE WHICH FAMILIES IN WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS CHOOSE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND WHICH FAMILIES IN WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS CHOOSE TO RANK YOU KNOW, CITYWIDE PROGRAMS AND AT WHAT RATES LIKE WE HAVE DECADES OF DATA ON THAT. SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY WE
CAN'T EXTRAPOLATE FROM OUR EXISTING DATA. YES. AND I APOLOGIZE WHERE I'VE I FEEL THAT PART OF GUARDRAIL ONE REQUIRES ME TO GO OUT AND HAVE DEEP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SO WE COULD WE COULD JOIN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT USING THE DATA THAT WE HAVE AND AND MAKE AND MAKE PROPOSALS AND DECISIONS BASED ON THAT. WE JUST CREATED AN 18 MONTH ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE ONE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE NINE MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS RESTRICTION OF A SCHOOL CALENDAR BUT BUT I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO USE THE EXISTING DATA THAT WE HAVE AND AND SHORTEN THE ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE. >> I GUESS I'M JUST SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO T.K. AND T.K. EXPANSION JUST LIKE IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT WE NEED MORE SPOTS NEAR WEBSTER START KING MISSION ELEMENTARY, THINGS LIKE THAT AND THAT'S MY LARGER CONCERN. I SUPPORT ALEXANDER YEAH, I, I
SHARE THIS CONCERN AND I JUST SENT A REQUEST TO STAFF TO RESPOND TO AN EMAIL. WE GOT IT FROM GUADALUPE FOR EXAMPLE, WHICH IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOUTHERN ZONE IN EXCELSIOR AT OUR MISSION AREA WHERE THAT WHERE AGAIN WE KNOW THAT IF WE HAVE MORE NEIGHBORHOOD BASED SCHOOLS THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE KIDS THERE. THEY'VE BEEN ASKING FOR ANOTHER T.K. THEY'VE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T HAVE IT. SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT THE SO SCHOOL COMMITTEES ARE ALSO GOING TO BE ASKING THIS QUESTION AND THEY ALREADY ARE. IT'S LIKE WHY WHY WEREN'T WE SELECTED? AND SO I SO I DO THINK LIKE IF WE'RE BASING THIS ON CURRENT THE CURRENT ENROLLMENT SYSTEM THAT WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP THAT SEEMS PROBLEMATIC TO ME. ALSO JUST TO ECHO VICE PRESIDENT HEARINGS POINT LIKE I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE I MEAN I GET IT IT'S LIKE WE'RE BUILDING THE PLANE, WE'RE FLYING IT BUT THIS PLAN GOES THROUGH 2030 LIKE I UNDERSTAND WE NEED TO HAVE A PLAN FOR THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR. BUT I WONDER IT SEEMS LIKE WE OUGHT TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE OUT YEARS TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN TO WHATEVER WE END UP
DOING WITH ENROLLMENT. SO I WOULD JUST RAISE THAT AS A CONCERN AS WELL. >> YEAH. AND IF IF WE'RE I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE STARTING WITH THE FACILITIES WHERE THERE'S THE LOWEST LEFT AND WHERE THERE'S EASY TO TRANSITION CLASSROOMS BUT IF IT'S CLEAR THAT WE HAVE DEMAND THAT GOES WELL BEYOND THAT THEN THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE TIME TO BUILD OUT AND THEY'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, EVEN POTENTIALLY TAKE BOND FUNDS THAT NEEDS TO BE ALLOCATED FROM THE FUTURE BOND AND SO MAKING THOSE PLANS NOW SO THAT WE CAN START THOSE REALLY LENGTHY PROCESSES OF CAPITAL UPGRADES IF THEY'RE IF THAT'S WHAT'S NECESSARY TO MEET DEMAND IS I THINK WHAT FOR ME IS LACKING FROM THIS PLAN. IT'S ALMOST 1050 I SENT AND STRONG THAT NOTIFICATION THAT WE WILL END PROMPTLY BY 11 AND SO SO COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ADD? SO I'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER RAY YES. >> OH AND STAFF SURE, GO FOR IT AND THEN WE'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER RAY AFTER THAT.
REALLY APPRECIATE THE THE FEEDBACK JUST TO KIND OF SAY AND I CONFERRED THIS IS THE FLOOR NOT THE CEILING. WE RECOGNIZE THAT AFTER WE DO THE ENROLLMENT ADJUSTMENT WHETHER FOR STUDENT ASSIGNMENT OR OTHERWISE AND PROGRAMMATIC AUDITS AND REDESIGNING OUR ENTIRE PORTFOLIO THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME ITERATION THAT FOLLOWS THAT PROCESS. SO VERY WELL TAKEN THE POINTS THAT ARE BEING MADE HERE. BUT WHEN YOU SAY ENROLLMENT AND OTHERWISE, I THINK THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE POLICY SAYS WE'RE MOVING TO ZONES AND I THINK THE BOARD HERE SUPPORTS THE ZONE POLICY AS IT STANDS NOW WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT FROM ANALYSIS THE CURRENT POLICY AS IT STANDS CAN'T BE DONE BUT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT AS A BOARD. SO I THINK I GO RIGHT BACK TO LIKE THE POLICY IN THE BOOKS IS WHAT SHOULD BE BEING WORKED TOWARDS. >> YES, RIGHT. LIKE THIS IS BASED ON A POLICY THAT THE BOARD ACTUALLY VOTED OUT IN 2020. RIGHT. RIGHT. SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. IT'S LIKE LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS ENROLLMENT OR
OTHERWISE. I MEAN THE RIGHT THE POLICY IS THE POLICY IF WE NEED TO CHANGE THE POLICY I THINK IS A GREAT QUESTION AROUND LIKE WHAT WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO CHANGE THAT POLICY? BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION FROM STAFF AND PROBABLY ANOTHER ROUND OF ENGAGEMENTS FROM THE BOARD WHICH IF THAT'S WHAT'S BEING SUGGESTED AGAIN I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION AND TALK ABOUT IT. BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN THAT SO AND I'M SORRY JUST TO JUST TO JUMP ON THIS REALLY QUICKLY. I MEAN THIS IS I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE LAST THINGS THAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT PTCS BECAUSE WE SAW, YOU KNOW, THE ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT GUADALUPE AND WE I APPRECIATE THAT IT COST 150,000 THAT WE'RE BEING TOLD TO BUILD ALL OF THESE OTHER PIECES WOULD WOULD COST SIGNIFICANT BONDS FUNDING OR FACILITIES UPGRADES, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. AND SO I WOULD THINK WE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO START WITH WHAT IS A STUDENT ASSIGNMENT POLICY, WHAT IS THE CONSOLIDATION PLAN AND THEN BASED ON THAT HERE ARE
THE TWO THAT WE'RE BUILDING. SO TO TO KIND OF HAVE THIS CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE HAVE KIND OF THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE OF HOW ALL OF THIS IS RELATED, HOW YOU'VE TAKEN ALL THE MATERIAL THAT YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WILL GET BUT HOW YOU'VE THEN CREATED THE ANALYSIS THAT THEN LEADS TO HERE'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE 140 260 SEATS. NOW HERE'S WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE FUTURE 360 SEATS AND WHAT THAT PLAN IS BECAUSE IN THE OTHER PIECES WE DO HAVE IT GOING THROUGH 20, 30 TO 2031. AND SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL 360 SEATS OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE, THEN IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS KIND OF THE LAST PIECE OF THE OVERALL PLAN THAT WE HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING ABOUT. I THINK THIS IS BASED THE THING IS THIS IS BASED NOT ON THAT. THIS IS BASED ON THE THE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM. THE BOARD VOTED OUT IN 2020. RIGHT. BECAUSE BECAUSE AGAIN I'M NOT I'M BEING A LITTLE MAYBE TOO FACETIOUS ABOUT THAT BUT I MEAN
THAT'S WHAT'S THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT'S HAPPENED IS THE BOARD HAVE MADE A VOTE AND STAFF HAS SAID FOR SIX YEARS THAT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. WE CAN'T HANDLE THAT. WE CAN'T GO TO ZONED ZONES DON'T WORK BUT THAT'S BUT UNDER MULTIPLE SUPERINTENDENTS. SO THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE SAID WELL WE JUST WON'T BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD SO THEN STAFF IS IN A POSITION WHERE THEY'RE LIKE WELL WE HAVE A POLICY THAT WE THINK IS UNWORKABLE. WE HAVE THE CURRENT THING WE HAVE TO BUILD A CASE, RIGHT? SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THIS IS NOT LIKE A REFLECTION OF BUT BUT WE NEED TO I THINK THE BOARD IS SAYING IS WE GOT TO JUST STOP THAT AND WE'VE GOT TO DEAL IT DEAL WITH IT. WE GOT TO STOP KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. WE'VE GOT TO STOP PRETENDING LIKE THIS POLICY THAT THE BOARD VOTED OUT SIX YEARS AGO IS STILL IN EFFECT BECAUSE NO ONE LIKES IT AND WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS AND AND MAKE A NEW ONE. COMMISSIONER WISEMAN YES AND THERE IS A I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD
AND SAYING WE'RE ACTUALLY IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE TECH AT THE END OF THE ROAD THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HUNDREDS OF KIDS THAT WANT TO SEE THAT CAN'T AND IF THAT FEELS LIKE AN EASIER LIFT TO DO NOW, DO IT NOW NOT SAYING AND DON'T DO THE OTHER STUFF BUT IF WE CAN DO IT FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR WE SHOULD DO IT AND WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO THE OTHER SO SO I DON'T THINK THEY NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE AT ODDS WITH US BUT I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE A LITTLE BIT WITH SAYING LET'S HAVE THIS AT THE END BECAUSE THEN THERE'S ALL THESE KIDS THAT WE COULD BE GETTING INTO THE PIPELINE 2627 THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OPENING SEATS. SO THE PRESENTATION LIKE THE PLAN SEEING THE PLAN AS A WHOLE. OKAY. YEAH. >> OKAY. I THINK WHAT I TOOK AWAY WAS THAT WE WANTED TO JUST BE ABLE TO PUT ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER. RIGHT? YEAH. SORRY. AND JUST GO. I DIDN'T SAY THAT ON THE MIKE. WHAT I WAS JUST SHARING IS NOT SAYING THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO THIS UNTIL MUCH LATER.
JUST RATHER AS WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WHERE WE HAVE MULTIPLE PIECES AND I SEE YOU KNOW THERE ARE MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS. THIS I FEEL IS ONE OF THE LAST CONVERSATIONS WE SHOULD BE HAVING IN THESE SET OF PRESENTATIONS IF WE HAVE TO THEN PROVIDE FEEDBACK BY THE END OF JUNE. SO SEEING SEEING KIND OF THE ENTIRE PLAN AS A WHOLE AND THEN BEING ABLE TO LAYER ON ALL THESE PIECES AS TO WHY WE'RE DOING THIS AFTER WE HAVE A SENSE OF HERE'S WHY WE ARE PUSHING OUT SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, HERE'S WHY WE ARE YOU KNOW, STARTING WITH STUDENT ASSIGNMENT THAT THAT THAT WOULD JUST HELP TO PAINT THE ENTIRE PICTURE. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU. >> YEAH, GO AHEAD. I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, ADD MY VOICE TO URGING FOLKS TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN TO SATISFY THE DEMAND. I AM I HAD EXPRESSED CONCERN EARLIER ABOUT ALL THE ADDITIONAL TIKI SITES THAT WE DON'T HAVE. I WANT TO ASK AGAIN ABOUT POTENTIALLY ADDING MORE THAN ONE TECH FOR MANDARIN IMMERSION. THERE IS SO MUCH DEMAND FOR THAT AND FILLING YOU KNOW DOING
AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO GET AS MANY KIDS AS WE CAN AS SOON AS WE CAN. IF THAT WAS KOTLER MENTIONED POTENTIALLY REPROGRAMING SITES AND TALKING ABOUT INVESTIGATING THAT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A THAT'S A NEW IDEA THAT'S COME UP THAT MAYBE HASN'T BEEN CONSIDERED BEFORE BUT WHATEVER WE YOU KNOW IS IN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY OF FEASIBILITY TO DO. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE TRYING TO DO IT BECAUSE WE SHOULD BE AIMING FIRST AND FOREMOST TO SERVE THE FOLKS WHO WANT TO COME HERE. SO WHATEVER THAT TAKES OR WHATEVER THAT INVOLVES, I'M YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO SUPPORT THAT. >> THANK YOU. YEAH. AND I WOULD SAY THERE'S ONE CLASS THAT'S NOT ON THE LIST IN HERE AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT DOING CHINESE IMMERSION SCHOOL A DIAVOLO A T K CLASSROOM THERE ADDITIONALLY SO TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE ACCESS AND DEMAND FOR CHINESE IMMERSION PROGRAMING WE TOTALLY HEAR THAT AND ARE TRYING TO ACT ON IT. THANK YOU. AND TO TO THIS QUESTION ABOUT
LIKE DO WE WAIT OR DO WE GO I THINK MY CONCERN IS ACTUALLY THAT WE'RE WAITING TO SEE HOW THINGS SHAKE OUT IN 2028 TO START BUILDING PHYSICALLY BUILDING T CASE THAT WE KNOW WE CANNOT SITE ON OUR FACILITIES NOW THAT NEED TO ACTUALLY BE DONE WITH CONSTRUCTION BY 2028 TO MEET THOSE KIDS IN NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THE EXCELSIOR. YOU KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE WE'RE YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE PLAN TO DO THAT IN THE SUNSET BUT I DON'T SEE A PLAN TO DO THAT IN THE EXCELSIOR. I DON'T SEE A PLAN TO DO THAT IN DOGPATCH POTRERO I DON'T SEE A PLAN TO DO THAT IN THE RICHMOND OR THE WEST PORTAL, YOU KNOW TWIN PEAKS AREAS AND SO TO ME IF THOSE DOORS ARE GOING TO BE OPEN TO WELCOME THOSE LITTLE KIDS IN 2028 WE GOT TO START CONSTRUCTION NOW AND NO MATTER HOW THE DETAILS OF THE ASSIGNMENT SHAKES OUT, WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A GEOGRAPHIC AND WE KNOW THAT THOSE KIDS LIVE THERE AND WE KNOW THAT FAMILIES WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY'RE TURNING US DOWN NOW WHEN THEY DON'T GET SCHOOLS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. SO I WOULD JUST LOVE TO SEE A
MORE AMBITIOUS EXPANSION SO WE CAN MEET ALL OF THOSE KIDS AND NOT LET THEM GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOL WHICH IS ALSO REALLY EXPENSIVE AND WE DON'T WANT TO PUT THAT BURDEN ON FAMILIES. OKAY. IT IS 1057 I'M I'M SO THANK YOU TO STAFF I KNOW THAT WE WILL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON NEXT TUESDAY AND SO APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THE DATA LOOKING FORWARD TO ENGAGING MORE AND IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO SAY BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO CONTENT? NO. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. 28 MOVING TO CONSENT. >> I'M GOING TO LEAVE.
