[XI. RECEPTION]

>> WE'RE GOING TO BREAK FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES FOR A BRIEF RECEPTION.

>> RESUMING THE BOARD MEETING. MOVING ON TO

[XII.b. Natomas Teacher's Association (NTA)]

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> SO FIRST OFF CLEARLY I WANT TO GIVE SHOUTOUT OF THE TEACHERS HONORED HERE TONIGHT. IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK IN THE OPEN BOARD MEETING, A YEAR AGO WE DIDN'T GET TO HAVE THAT CEREMONY SO ACKNOWLEDGING TEACHER OF THE YEAR IS ALWAYS SPECIAL. AFTER COVID WE LEARNED ESPECIALLY PARENTS AND THOSE OF US THAT BE PARENTS AND TEACHERS HOW HARD THE JOB OF TEACHING IS. SO SOMETIMES I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WE GET TO RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY AND IMAGINE THAT FOR SOME OF THOSE TEACHERS THEY'VE GOT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 12-40 STUDENTS IN THEIR ROOM ALL WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES AND NEEDS. TEACHERS DO AMAZING WORK. AS YOU KNOW I REPRESENT ALL THE CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES DOING THE WORK EVERYDAY BUT FOR THE CERTIFICATED AND QUALIFIED STAFF BEING NOMINATED BY THEIR PEERS, SUPPORTED BY THEIR UNIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS, I THINK IT'S A TEAM EFFORT BUT I LOVE WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING TONIGHT WONDERFUL EXAMPLES OF THE WORK BEING DONE. SORRY I HAD TO RUN IN FROM THE COOKIE TABLE. I WASN'T EATING THE COOKIES THOUGH. OKAY. THE REST OF MY COMMENTS TONIGHT ARE GOING TO BE IN REGARD TO THE BOARD REPORT THAT YOU HAVE ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA. THE COMMENTS WERE WRITTEN COLLABORATIVELY WITH STAFF MEMBERS.

MIGHT MAKE THEM FLOW A LITTLE FUNKY FROM ACROSS THE DISTRICT WISHING TO SHARE FEEDBACK IN REGARD TO OTT CULTURE OF RESILIENCE PART TWO. IT COULD BE APPLIED TO PART ONE AS WELL THAT WAS REPORTED LAST MONTH. BUT I DID WORK ON THIS WITH A GROUP OF TEACHERS. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT TO TALK TO ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY LET ME KNOW. I CAN CONNECT YOU.

ANYTHING IN THE DOCUMENT BOTH PART 1 AND 2, THE CULTURE OF RESILIENCE DOCUMENT, NO TEACHER IS EVER GOING TO SAY, NO, TO MORE LITERACY SUPPORT IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF SHARED ASSESSMENTS. MANY OF US HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THOSE AND WRITING RUBRICS FOR YEARS SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE THAT. BUT I WANT TO REITERATE A POINT THAT I MADE BEFORE. ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ANY TIME IN THE LAST TEN YEARS HAS SEEN THE VIDEO THE ONE WITH THE BUILDING THE PLANE WHILE YOU ARE FLYING IT VIDEO. IF YOU'VE BEEN A TEACHER YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. BUT IT'S THE PROCESS OF PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER AS YOU ARE DOING IT AT THE SAME TIME. WE KNOW THE ANALOGY. WE KNOW THE EXPERIENCE. WE REMEMBER THAT VIDEO MADE BEFORE COVID. IN NO TIME WAS IT MORE TRUE THAN LIVING THROUGH COVID WHERE WE'RE PUTTING STUFF TOGETHER EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS TO KEEP GOING.

BUT I THINK WHAT I LEARNED FROM THAT EXPERIENCE IS WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED IS THERE IS BETTER WAYS TO BUILD LASTING PROGRAMS. FEELS LIKE WE'RE BACK IN THE MENTALITY OF BUILDING AND DOING AND TRYING RAPIDLY TO MAKE UP WHAT MANY BELIEVE COVID TOOK BUT MANY OF THE ISSUES PRE-DATE THE PANDEMIC. WHILE WE MAY BE FOCUSED ON THE LITERACY PLAN RIGHT NOW, THIS COULD, WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TO EASILY APPLY TO OTHER AREAS.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE EDUCATORS THAT I WORKED WITH ON THIS, THEY CAN SPEAK TO YOU INDEPENDENTLY. BUT WE WORKED ON THIS TOGETHER. WHAT I SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND NOW THE SAME. SLOW DOWN, LET'S DO SOMETHING IN A WAY THAT EDUCATORS ARE NOT ALIENATED, OVERWHELMED AND LACK UNDERSTANDING OF THE WHY BEHIND THE PROCESS, I'M NOT SHARING THAT I HAVEN'T SAID TO TONYA ORANGE LA AT SOME POINT INDEPENDENTLY IN MEETINGS BUT I WANT TO BE ON THE RECORD AND SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU THE SAME CONVERSATION.

THIS IS SOMETHING, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS LITERACY PLAN IS IMPORTANT. IT'S DISTRICTWIDE.

BUT WE NEED TO START WITH HOW AS AN INSTITUTION IN ALL THE SCHOOLS TOGETHER ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER, WE

[00:25:01]

ALL OF US AS TEACHERS PROMOTE SOMETHING WE CALLED C. E. R. WHICH IS CLAIM, EVIDENCE AND REASONING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WRITING. IN ANY SCIENCE EVER YOU GATHER EVIDENCE WITH CONTROLLED VARIABLES TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE FOR AN ACCURATE CONCLUSION.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO WITH NATOMAS WITH OUR CYCLE OF INQUIRY. WE PROMOTE. LOOKING AT EVIDENCE, THEN WE DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND THAT INFORMS WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS ARE WHEN WE USE THE CYCLE OF INQUIRY. WE DON'T THINK THAT ANY OF THE STUDENT DATA FROM THE FIRST ROUND SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. WHAT DATA WE SHOULD COLLECT SHOULD BE ABOUT WE WERE ABLE TO DELIVER TO THE DISTRICT, DELIVER A DISTRICTWIDE ASSESSMENT CONTROLLING VARIABLES ESTABLISHING A DISTRICTWIDE SHARED ASSESSMENT IN WHICH STORES HAVE TO BE NORMED AGAINST RUB REX MEANS THAT WE FIRST HAVE TO ESTABLISH STRICTWIDE NORMS FORKED ADMINISTRATION OF THE ASSESSMENT. IN THIS LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE HAD STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED FULL LESSONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE ASSESSMENT. WE HAD STUDENTS WHO DID NOT. WE HAD TEACHERS GRADING THAT HAD NEVER SEEN THE PROMPT AND WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TOPICS. WE HAD PROMPTS MATCHED TO THE WRONG RUBRIC AND TEACHERS DELIVERED THE WRONG ASSESSMENT FOR DIFFERENT GREAT LEVELS, WE HAD KIDS ON-LINE, OTHER KIDS WERE WORKING ON PAYABLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHROME BOOKS FOR ALL STUDENTS TO BE ON-LINE AT THE SAME TIME. EDUCATORS WERE GIVEN MATERIALS FOR THE ASSESSMENT VIA E-MAIL AFTER THEIR WEEKLY COLLABORATION WITHOUT TIME AHEAD OF TIME TO WORK ON IT TO LOOK AT IT TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE SHED THE ABILITY -- THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO NORM HOW THEY WERE GOING TO PRESENT IT TO THE CLASSROOMS. THEY WEREN'T GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS TO THEIR ADMINISTRATORS NOT BECAUSE THEIR ADMINISTRATORS SAIDASN'T TIME BETWEEN WHEN THE ASSESSMENT WENT OUT AND WHEN THEY HAD TO GIVE IT TO THEIR CLASSROOMS. ONE OF THE TEACHERS WHO WROTE ONE OF THE PROMPTS SHARED THEY WERE NEVER TOLD WHAT THE PROMPT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR. IF THEY HAD KNOWN THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE USED DIFFERENT MATERIAL.

THE OUTCOMES OF THE VARIETY OF SITUATIONS HERE DON'T REFLECT THE ABILITY OF OUR STUDENTS OR TEACHERS WHEN IT COMES TO LITERACY OR INSTRUCTION, IT'S A REFLECTION OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO INSTITUTIONALLY TO ADDRESS AND CREATE STANDARDIZED MODELS OF ASSESSMENT. OUR ADVICE IS THE ONLY DATA AND FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRST ROUND OF ASSESSMENTS USED SHOULD RELATE TO OUR INSTITUTIONAL ABILITY TO GIVE THE ASSESSMENT, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH LEAD TIME FOR THE TEACHERS. FIGURING OUT WHAT THE SITES NEED TO PRINT IN ORDER FOR US TO DO A SHARED ASSESSMENT DISTRICTWIDE. MAKING SURE THAT ALL STUDENTS GET THE SAME INTRODUCTION TO THE MATERIAL AND THE QUESTION POSED IS WHAT ARE WE DOING TO CREATE A COMMON ASSESSMENT SPACE IN ALL OF OUR CLASSROOMS? WE CAN'T ASSUME THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN BASED ON WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS DISTRIBUTED TO TEACHERS. IN THE BOARD REPORT IT MENTIONS THERE HAS BEEN ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH LABOR PARTNERS, BUT I WANT TO BRING UP THERE WAS A YEAR OF DEVELOPMENT BEFORE I WAS BROUGHT IN OR ANYBODY FROM N.T.A.WAS BROUGHT INTO THE PROCESS. WHEN THE DISTRICT ALREADY HAD AN IMPLEMENTATION CALENDAR USING THE EARLY RELEASE DAYS AND THE 1% B.D.. THEY HAD RUN A PILOT IN THE SPRING WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH N.T.A.AND HOW THAT WOULD LOOK. SO I THINK HAD I BEEN CONSULTED ON THE FIRST ROUND OF ASSESSMENTS IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED OUT IN A MUCH DIFFERENT FASHION IN A WAY TO PROMOTE MORE INCLUESIVITY OF THE MEMBERS AND PROCESS AND PROBABLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS TRYING TO CREATE MORE BUY IN FROM TEACHERS, THE DISTRICT'S LITERACY PLAN IS CURRENTLY ILARTICULATED AND NEEDS MORE PLANNING, BUY IN AND COLLABORATION. IN PRINCIPLE IT'S EASY TO AGREE WITH THE GOAL OF INVERTED VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ARTICULATION HOWEVER POOR IMPLEMENTATION COULD UNDERMINE THE DISTRICT'S PLAN AND LEAD TO MINIMAL COULD COMPLIANCE AND NON-TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE.

WE DON'T WANT TO DISMISS THE IDEA AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT AS EDUCATORS, WE SUPPORT. BUT WHAT I REALLY DO WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT IS THAT IF YOU LOSE THE BUY IN FROM THE TEACHERS FROM THE GET GO IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO GET BACK.

THE SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DEVELOPED BEFORE YOU PUT EDUCATORS IN FRONT OF THEIR STUDENTS IN A MANNER WHICH MAKES THEM FEEL UNDERPREPARED AND ANGRY.

WE'RE ASKING WE BUILD PLANES FIRST, CHECK THEY CAN FLY BEFORE WE PUT THEM OUT THERE. WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE

[00:30:02]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

[XII.a. California School Employees Association (CSEA)]

>> CSEA. [INDISCERNIBLE] >> WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE

[XII.c. Student Board Member]

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> GOOD EVENING.

SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, PRESIDENT GRANT, BOARD MEMBERS AND GUESTS, IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, D.H.S.LEADERSHIP PEOPLE -- FILLED WITH MUSIC AND ACTIVITIES DURING LUNCH. 10 STUDENTS COMPLETED THEIR ASSESSMENT AND AWAIT THEIR RESULTS.

IN THE MEAN TIME STUDENTS IN CULINARY ARTS ARE ON THE ROAD TO EXCITING COOKING ADVENTURES, STUDENTS -- [INDISCERNIBLE] I.B.PROGRAMS AWARDED I.B.DIPLOMAS FOR GRADUATES OF 2022. LAST WEEK CLUBS AND PROGRAMS -- TO THE FALL CLUB RUSH AND STUDENT HAVE -- L.G.A.STUDENTS WALKED THE RED CAR MET WHILE MUSIC WAS PLAYED IN THE BACK GROUND. L.G.A.HOSTED ASSEMBLIES WITH EVERY GRADE LEVEL. WHICH CULMINATED IN OUR FOOD TRUCK. NATOMAS HIGH IS STORING AS THEY RECOGNIZE 411 SCHOLARS FROM THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR.

THEY HAD THEIR FIRST RALLY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, FOOTBALL TEAM, VOLLEYBALL TEAM AND CHEERLEADERS WERE RECOGNIZED. STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION ON PROGRAMS AND LEARN THEIR CAMPUS.

IN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL THEY HAD -- [INDISCERNIBLE] I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING STUDENTS GETTING THEIR CERTIFICATION BEING SOMEBODY WHO DID THAT. I'M EXCITED FOR IT AND I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE I. H. S. AND N. H. S.

SPORTS EVENTS BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE PRETTY FUN.

I LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE TEACHERS BECAUSE THIS FIRST MONTH OF SCHOOL WAS AMAZING. AS AS A STUDENT WHO ATTENDS THE SCHOOLS I LOVE OUR TEACHERS, THEY'RE ALL GREAT.

[XII.d. Board Members]

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> OKAY. WELL, I'VE HAD AN EXCITING TIME SINCE OUR LAST BOARD MEETING. OUR LAST REGULAR BOARD MEETING. SO I WAS ABLE TO -- I WANT TO THANK STAFF WHO ACCOMPANIED ME ON VISITATIONS TO SCHOOL SITES.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE SCHOOLS AND KIDS. SO I ASKED TO SEE OUR ETHNIC STUDIES CLASSES SO I WENT TO NATOMAS HIGH, INDERKUM HIGH AND LEROY GREEN SCHOOL TO OBSERVE THOSE CLASSES AND LOOK FORWARD TO GOING BACK AND COMPARING WHAT I SAW INITIALLY THEN CHECKING IN AGAIN AND, BUT ANYWAY, THE ROOMS, IT SEEMS LIKE CONVERSATIONS WERE DINE AIMIC. KIDS WERE ENGAGED.

TEACHERS WERE VERY ANIMATED. AND QUESTIONING THE STUDENTS FOCUSING ON CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS WHICH WAS VERY OBVIOUS. ALSO A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS THAT GROUPS ABOUT REALLY IMPORTANT TOPICS. SO THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR GOING OUT THERE. I THINK WE LOOKS AT THE LITERACY CLASSES ALSO AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS LOOKING AT THE LITERACY PROGRAMS IN PLACE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING OUTS TO MORE SCHOOLS.

SO IN ADDITION, THERE ARE ABOUT 4 THINGS I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT I'VE DONE IN MY CAPACITY AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION, AND ONE OF THEM IS I GAVE A RADIO INTERVIEW AND I ALSO DID A TELEVISION INTERVIEW. THE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP, SEEMS TO BE POSED TO ME QUITE OFTEN AND I EVEN HAVE ONE FROM A REPORTER TO RESPOND TO IS THE IDEA, ABOUT THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU KNOW, THIS TOPIC MORE THAN EVER BEFORE NOW SEEMS TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE, ENTITIES WHETHER THERE IS NEWSPAPER OR TELEVISION, AND NOT ONLY THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT THEY'RE REALLY LOOKING AT

[00:35:02]

THERE IS A BIG FOCUS ALSO QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE'RE HANDLING OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. HOW WE HANDLE DISRUPTIONS. SO I TALK A LOT ABOUT THE NEED FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL BOARD MEMBERS. AND ALSO TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS IT THAT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS DO? I MEAN REALLY THERE IS A LOT OF MISPERCEPTIONS ABOUT THAT. THE OTHER THING IS SO I ATTENDED TWO CONFERENCES. ONE OF THEM BEING THE COUNTY SCHOOLS CONFERENCES WHERE ALL THE COUNTY STUDENTS SUSTAINED WITH THEIR BOARD. S. C. O. E. WAS.

THERE I WAS ABLE TO STALK ABOUT SOME OF THE LEGISLATION THAT WE HAVE WORKED ON IN THE LAST YEAR.

HOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS WORK WITH COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION, HOW THAT RELATIONSHIPS NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED SO THAT WE REALLY MAKE SURE WE MAXIMIZE SERVICES TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOLS, EITHER WHETHER IT'S DISTRICT OR THE COUNTY. AND THEN FINALLY, SO THOSE WERE A COUPLE OF CONFERENCES. THE OTHER ONE WAS THE CALIFORNIA LATINO SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION WHICH AGAIN REALLY ALWAYS CONTINUALLY LOOKS AT THE DISCRETION -- DISCREPANCY IN TERMS OF GRADUATION RATES AND ALSO STANDARDIZED TESTING RATES.

WHAT CAME OUT OF BOTH OF THOSE TWO CONFERENCE, BOTH THE COUNTY AND THE CALIFORNIA LATINO ASSOCIATION SCHOOL BOARD CONFERENCE WAS THE IDEA THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINS HAPPENING. SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS, THERE IS A LOT OF KIDS SUCCEEDING AND I THINK THAT'S WAS SHOW CASED AT BOTH CONFERENCES. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS ANY EFFORTS OF THINGS THAT ARE BEING, ANY GAINS THAT ARE BEING MADE SEEMS TO GET LOST IN THE NOISE OF THE MEDIA IN TERMS OF PEOPLE WANTING TO EFFECTUS ON WHAT THEY SAY -- FOCUS ON WHAT THEY THINK SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOT DOING RIGHT. OUR JOB AS SUPERINTENDENT EVANS HAS TOLD THIS BOARD TO FOCUS ON IS TO FOCUS ON WHAT, THE THINGS WE ARE DOING WELL. SO THAT WAS THE MESSAGE.

THEN FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO GO TO ON MONDAY TO A DISTRICT. COR ONO NORCO WHICH IS IN L.A.AREA. AND SO IT'S TWO SMALL DISTRICTS PUT TOGETHER. THEIR DISTRICT OFFICE IS VERY SMALL. NOT THE DISTRICT OFFICE BUT IT'S IN A LOCATION THAT SERVES TWO DIFFERENT AREAS. THEN I WENT TO AN UNINCORPORATED AREA. SO I GOT TO SEE A BILINGUAL SCHOOL WHICH WAS K. 12 VERY EXCITING FOR ME TO SEE ALL THE LITTLE KIDS THEN THE BIG KIDS UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR. A BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL ASK -- IS LOCATED IN AN UNINCORPORATED PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND HAS, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THIS IS A VERY NEEDY AREA, YET THE SCHOOL IS ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL SCHOOLS I'VE EVER VISITED. AND BEAUTIFUL, YOU KNOW, REDS AND BLUES AND TILES AND EVERYTHING. IT IS SO NICE AND INVITING. AT THE SCHOOL SITE ONE OF THE THINGS I SAW WAS THEY HAVE A BIG ROOM FOR KIDS. WHEN KIDS NEED A TIMEOUT, OR IF TEACHERS WANT TO SCHEDULE AN HOUR, THEY GO TO THE ROOM THAT IS PROBABLY THE SIZE OF THIS ROOM. IT IS, IT HAS NOTHING, IT HAS EVERYTHING WHERE KIDS CAN BE CREATIVE FOR AN HOUR. JUST KIND OF REGROUP WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY POSITIVE TO GET AWAY FROM THE STRESS OF BEING A KID OR JUST THE STRESS OF THE ACADEMICS. ALSO IN THE DISTRICT I GOT TO VISIT ONE OF THEIR C.T.PROGRAMS WHERE THE KIDS LEARNED TO FLY AIRPLANES. I GOT TO TRY TO FLY ONE ON A SIMULATOR THERE. AND I, I DIDN'T DO WELL THE FIRST TIME. SECOND TIME I STARTED OUT OKAY. BUT THEN I HAD THE PLANE WAY OFF COURSE. SO I, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT'S NOT ONLY LEARNING TO FLY IT BUT ALL OF THE CONTROL PANELS THAT KIDS HAVE TO LEARN TO USE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO FLY AN AIRPLANE.

I DECIDED THAT'S PROBABLY NOT SOMETHING THAT I WILL

[00:40:03]

>> NO REPORT. >> I WANT TO ECHO MARA AND CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TEACHERS OF THE YEAR AT EACH OF OUR SITES. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HAVE A CELEBRATION AND THEN DEFINITELY A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO OUR TEACHER OF THE YEAR MARK BORNSTEIN WHO IS MY DAUGHTER'S SEND GRADE TEACHER. DURING THE PANDEMIC WHILE WE WERE ON LINE I CAN TESTIFY TO HOW AMAZING HE IS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE HIM. I WAS ALSO HONORED TO SUSTAINED THE SKOWY CELEBRATION WHERE HE WAS HONORED THEN I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY, LAST WEEK WAS HORRENDOUS. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS, OUR CLASSIFIED, OUR ADMINISTRATION, MAINTENANCE, TECHNICAL GUYS TO KEEP H.V.A.C.S ON, INTERNET FLOWING, IT'S NEVER AN EASY TIME WHEN IT IS ALMOST 110 DEGREES EVERYDAY. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE FAMILIES FOR THE FLEXIBILITY OF RESCHEDULING OUR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS.

I KNOW IT WAS COMPLETELY INCONVENIENT. PARENTS TOOK TIME OFF AND NOW CAN'T MAKE THE RESCHEDULED BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY IN KNOWING THAT IT WAS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE.

AND AGAIN,ALL KNOW I'M OUT AT JOEY'S FOOD LOCKER BUT LAST FRIDAY WAS ONE AWAY. WE HAD ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE IT WORK. WE ALSO HAD OUR STAFF GO ABOVE AND BEYOND, SOMETHING WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE UNLESS YOU ARE ON SIDE. WE HAD TWO CARS OVERHEAT AND TO SEE OUR STAR THAT WERE NOT VOLUNTEERS AT JOEY'S FOOD LOCKER, MAKE SURE WE HAD FOOD SET ASIDE FOR THEM, GET THE CARS BACK GOING, IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS AND I'M APPRECIATIVE OF WE IN NATOMAS TAKE THINGS AS WE'RE A FAMILY. THEN I LOOK FORWARD TO THE RESCHEDULED PUBLIC SAFETY PATHWAYS OPENING CELEBRATION BECAUSE ON MONDAY, I'VE ATTENDED THIS EVERY YEAR TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY'VE DONE IT. OUR STUDENTS AND FIRE SAFETY DID A 9/11 PRESENTATION. AND THINK ABOUT THIS. THESE ARE KIDS WHO ARE JUNIORS AND SENIORS. THEY WERE NOT ALIVE WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED. IT'S AN INTERESTING BER RESPECT TOIV SEE WHAT THEY TAKE FROM 9/11 AND PUT IN A PRESENTATION TO TEACH THOSE OF US WHO WERE AROUND AND VIVIDLY REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE. SO I'M, IT'S SUCH A FANTASTIC PROGRAM. THE KIDS ARE SO EXCITED AND IT WAS LIMPING TO THESE STUDENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO BECAUSE WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM US, THEY STILL HAVE 3 YEARS BEFORE THEY CAN ATTEND THE POLICE OR FIRE ACADEMY. WHAT THEIR PLAN WAS TO BRIDGE THAT WHETHER A. R. C. OR SOMETHING ELSE SO THEY COULD THEN JOIN THE ACADEMIES AND KNOWING THAT SOMETHING THAT OUR STAFF HELPS THEM DO SO WE'RE TRAINING OUR NEXT GENERATION, FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE OFFICERS. THEN JUST IT WAS FUN ATTENDING FRIDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT'S ENDER DUMB FOOTBALL GAME -- ENDER COME FOOTBALL GAME AND OUR FIRE ENGINE IS OUT THERE. IF YOU ARE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHTS, YOU HEAR RANDOM FIRE ENGINE GOING OFF AND SIRENS, GENERALLY IT MEANS THAT INDERKUM SCORED SO SOMETHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BE AWARE OF. NOT ONLY WILL WE HAVE SOME FIREWORKS GO OFF BUT NOW WE HAVE RANDOM SIRENS FROM THE FIRE ENGINE IMU IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THAT -- BUT IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THAT AND THE STUDENT SECTION COME

[XII.e. Superintendent's Report]

TOGETHER. >> NO REPORT FOR ME.

SUPERINTENDENT EVANS. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

DEFINITELY DITTO ON THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TEACHERS OF THE YEAR, IT WAS REALLY NICE TO BE BACK IN A SETTING WHERE WE GET TO SEE THEM. IT'S NOT AN IMAGE ON ZOOM, IT JUST FEELS BETTER EACH STEP FORWARD.

TO WHAT TRUSTEE HEREDIA REFERENCED, I WANTED THE BOARD DOES NEED TO TAKE TIME AND CELEBRATE THE SUCCESSES THEY HAVE BECAUSE WE'RE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT WHERE NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU. AND FOR EXAMPLE, IN 2012, WE WERE NEAR THE THIRD POTENTIAL CONSIDERATION FOR STATE TAKEOVER, FINANCES WERE

[00:45:02]

SO, CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THERE. I DID FORGET TO REFERENCE A LITTLE BIT IN THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR. IT WAS COOL.

I KNOW IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME PROBABLY SINCE I BEEN HERE BUT TO SEE A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST RECOGNIZED AS TEACHER OF THE YEAR, AS SOMEONE HIMSELF WHO NEEDED SUPPORT FOR SPEECH. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE GO YOU TALK ALL THE TIME.

LITERALLY, SHUT UP. BUT WE DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT.

YOU DO IF YOU ARE AROUND ME AND I'M TIRED.

BECAUSE I HAVE TO FOCUS ON THINGS THAT I WAS TAUGHT 40+ YEARS AGO TO BE ABLE TO REIN SPEECH IN AND I PASSED THAT ON UNFORTUNATELY TO MY DAUGHTER BUT DUE TO AN AMAZING SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST SHE WENT FROM 4 YEARS OLD TO OUT WITHIN A YEAR FROM 4 YEARS OLD NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO PRONOUNCE HER OWN NAME TO A YEAR BEING AGE TO MASTER AND ARTICULATE SPEECH AND NOW BEING A COLLEGE GRADUATE AND ALUM FROM NATOMAS UNIIDENTIFY AND REROADWAY GREEN. SPEECH LANGUAGE PACT OLIGISTS HAVE HAD AN EFFECT ON MY LIFE. THEY HAVE AN EFFECT ON HUNDREDS OR OTHER A ,000S OF SOME OF OUR STUDENTS.

THEY DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION A LOT.

I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO ENCOURAGE OUR ED CENTER TEAM. WHETHER YOU AGREED 100% WITH WHAT PRESIDENT HARVEY SHARED OR NOT YOU NEED TO WATCH THE GAME FILM AND LOOK AT SPECIFICALLY WHERE SHE WAS GIVING FEEDBACK. AND WE TALK ABOUT IN CABINET A LOT THE REALITY THERE IS AN IMPLEMENTATION GAP THAT TAKES PLACE. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WE TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO PROCESS SOMETHING AND WHETHER YOU ARE A SITE PRINCIPAL OR SITE TEACHER WE ROLL IT OUT. THE TIMING IS OFF. THAT'S ONE OF OUR WEAKNESSES. AND SO I WANT US TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CRITICISM. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE FEEDBACK. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRESENTED VERY PROFESSIONALLY AND APPRECIATED THAT VERY MUCH.

WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHERE THERE ARE PLACES THAT WE CAN COME TO AGREEMENT.

I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AND RECOGNIZE THAT ONE OF THOSE THINGS, ONE EVER THE POINTS OF FEEDBACK WAS LET'S START NOT JUST WITH TEACHERS IN THE ROOM BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO IMPROVE LABOR RELATIONS, LET'S MAKE SURE LABOR LEADERS ARE FROM THE ROOM AT THE BEGINNING. NOT LATER ON. SO TAKE THAT. TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH AND KNOW THAT THIS FEELS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IT HAS IN THE PRIOR TEN YEARS.

IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE CRITICAL OF ANYONE. IT'S, LIKE, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.

TRUST ME AS SOMEONE WHO WORKED IN OTHER PLACES WHERE THAT WAS THE STANDARD HAT, IT'S A LOT BETTER TO DO IT THAT WAY. IT FEELS BETTER THAN OTHER WAYS. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HARVEY FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. THANKS, EVERYONE FOR THE WORK TO MOVE THE LITERACY FORWARD BECAUSE AS YOU WILL SEE IN OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING, STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE IN AGREEMENT THEY NEED HELP WITH WRITING.

WE GOT INCREDIBLE TURNOUT AND FEEDBACK ABOUT ALMOST 3 AND 4 IN OUR KIDS THAT ARE AT THE APPROPRIATE AGE TO GIVE SELF-REFLECTION THAT WERE HERE LAST YEAR IDENTIFIED WRITING AS THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT THEY NEED. SO IT'S CLEARLY IMPORTANT. MATH IS RIGHT THERE, TOO. SO I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT, RECOGNIZE THAT AND SAY THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE FEEDBACK AND FOR THE TEAM FOR IMPLEMENTING IT BECAUSE THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS TO CELEBRATE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR A WHILE.

OUR KIDS ARE ASKING FOR AND NEED THE LITERACY SUPPORT. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FROM THE TEACHERS TO THE CLASSIFIED STAFF HELPING WITH THE PROCESS TO OUR MANAGERS THAT HAVE BEEN LEADING IT. AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD A LITTLE DIFFERENT

COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? >> THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HOPE THAT OUR STAFF AND TEACHERS UNION AND LABOR PARTNERS CAN CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS IMPLEMENTATION BETTER BECAUSE I WILL HEY HEY AS ONE OF THOSE WHERE MY CHILD DEFINITELY BEING A FIRST GRADER WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT AND NOW IN 4TH GRADE, NOTICED NEEDING HELP ON LITERACY SKILLS NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE TRY AS PARENTS.

I PERSONALLY SEE IT AND I THINK THE DISTRICT IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND I HOPE WE CAN PARK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR UNION LEADERS AND STAFF TO IMPLEMENTS SOMETHING.

>> THANK YOU. MISS KAPLAN. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR

COMMENTS? [INDISCERNIBLE] >> SAY SOMETHING QUICK.

DIRECTLY TIED TO THIS. THE NAPE SCORES ARE UTE.

NATIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR EDUCATIONAL PROCESS, I PROBABLY BUTCHERED THAT COMPLETELY. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAD SOME OF ORION STUDENTS PARTICIPATE.

THE SIGNS SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE NATIONAL SCORES DROPPED. I CAN TELL YOU ALREADY AT A STATE LEVEL WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT THE STATE SCORES DROPPED. THERE WILL BE MORE DISTRICTS IDENTIFIED FOR NEEDING DIFFERENTIATED SUPPORT AS A RESULT OF CAST SCORES AND NO SURPRISE COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC. STUDENTS MISSED SOMETIME. THEY STAYED HOME BECAUSE THEY HAD SYMPTOMS, COULD HAVE BEEN ALGERS, COULD HAVE BEEN COVID. ALL THIS STUFF IS IN THE A SURPRISE. SO YOU ARE HERE ARE HEARING -- HEARING YOU AND YOU WILL SEE NOT ONLY IN THE REPORT BUT GOING FORWARD IN OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT LEARNING RECOVERY BUT MOST OF WHAT WE'RE DOING TOUCHES ONS THAT AS A RECOGNITION. WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT JUST MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES THAT, LIKE, GET WHERE WE WERE, NOW THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THEIR STUDENTS.

SO YOU WILL SEE ON THE GUIDE WE'RE PRODUCING THAT OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS ENGAGED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY, IS PHENOMENAL AMOUNT OF WORK FROM THE OFFICE AND IT'S PRETTY EXCITING TO SEE THAT MANY STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ENGAGED IN CREATING THIS DOCUMENT THAT'S FIRST EVER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO USE SOMETHING.

TO THINK HOLISTICALLY ABOUT HOW THEIR STUDENTS ARE DOING. TALE STILL SAY LEARNING RECOVERY ON IT BUT NOT FOR MUCH LONGER. IT SAYS LEARNING RECOVERY NOW BECAUSE THE FUNDS WE CAN USE TO TARGET SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE EXACTLY LIED BUT IT'S NOW ABOUT WHERE ARE OUR KIDS NOW AND WHERE DO WE WANT THEM TO GO? DO THEY NEED INTERVENTION? ACCELERATION? GETTING IN THE HANDS OF FAMILY, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, HERE IS EVERYTHING, ONE STOP SHOPPING, WHERE THE FAMILIES THINK THEIR CHILDREN ARE IN REFLECTION AND HERE IS ALL THE OTHER DATA POINTS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AN AWFUL LOT MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO BE. WHERE DO WE HOPE OUR KIDS MOVE FORWARD AS OPPOSED TO RECOGNIZING THAT THE TEST SCORES ARE LOW. I'LL TELL TELL YOU NATOMAS DROPPED I THINK THERE WAS ONE DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY THAT SAW A RISE AND ONE IN OWN AREA OTHERWISE IN THE COUNTY, I CAN'T GET TOO FAR BUT I'LL SAY THIS COUNTY ISN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS. I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW AND BE PREPARED. WE KNOW WHERE THE RESULTS ARE. ONE METRIC, STANDARDIZED TESTS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT LITERACY THAT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT WRITING AND APPLICABLE SKILLS FOR STUDENTS AS OPPOSED TO PICK A., B. C. OR D. AND WHERE WE ARE IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR KIDS MOVING FORWARD. WHEN THE RESULTS COME OUT. IT'LL POP OUT AFTER THE ELECTION, THE

[XVI.a. Present Forward 5 Update and Seek Approval on the Six Pillars of the Strategic Plan]

>> I HAVEN'T PRESENTED IN 6 YEARS, I'M SURE YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED WHY I HAVEN'T DONE IT IN 6 YEARS WHEN YOU SEE SOME OF THE IMAGES, THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT THIS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WORK AS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN OFFICIALLY ENDS IN 2022. THE WAY WE'VE APPROACHED IT.

WE DID A SERIES OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES, WE HAD THE KNICKS 5 SIMPLE, THE NEXT 5 YEARS, NEXT 5 YEARS ARE DONE. NOW LOOKING FOR A FORWARD 5.

SO THE OBJECTIVES YOU CAN SEE I WON'T READ THEM TO YOU EXPECT TO SAY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS DISCUSSION AND THEN HOPEFULLY APPROVAL TONIGHT OF WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE 6 PILLARS, LAST STRATEGIC PLAN WE CALLED THEM STRATEGIC DIRECTION, WE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT HOLD UP OUR WORK. SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERY ONE THESE THINGS TO YOU BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON ELEMENTS, FEEDBACK AROUND THE STRATEGIC PLAN. WE DON'T NECESSARILY SAY THIS IS TIED TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THEM SURVEYS SHORT BUT OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK IS POSSIBLE. WE LAUNCHED THE FORWARD 5 WORK IN AUGUST OF 2021. IF IT WASN'T FOR CONTACT TRACING WHICH I DON'T WANT EVERYONE TO FER GOAT OUR PRINCIPALS AND STAFF WERE DOING THROUGH LATE FEBRUARY OF 2022, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE HIGH NUMBER OF ABSENSES AND CHALLENGES WE FACED LAST YEAR, AS THE MAJOR PART OF THE PANDEMIC WOUND DOWN, THIS WOULD PROBABLY ALREADY BE DONE. BUT IT REACHED THE POINT WHERE IT WAS SO MUCH THAT EVEN WHEN WE STARTED ENGAGING OUR PARENTS ON THE LAST SURVEY IN THE SPRING, THEY WERE VOTING WITH THEIR FINGERS.

THEY WEREN'T ENGAGING. SAYING THEY'RE TIRED.

EVERYONE WAS TIRED. SO THE BOARD REMEMBERED WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THAT INTO THE FALL BECAUSE WE WANT TO DO IT RIGHT AND MAKE SURE WE ENGAGE FOLKS, AVAILABLE TOMORROW WHEN WE POST THIS ON-LINE FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO SEE, TRUSTEES, YOU HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF WORK UNDER A THE STEPS WE'VE TAKEN FOR THE LAST 13 MONTHS NOW. WE CAN KIND OF ZOOM THROUGH AND GET TO THIS. TO GIVE YOU A BALLPARK IDEA I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS 14,107 STAKEHOLDERS AS WE SHARED IN THE PAST, SINCE WE WANT SOME OF THE FEEDBACK TO BE ANONYMOUS OR ALLOW PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR NAMES IF THEY CHOOSE I'M SURE THERE ARE REPEAT USERS IN HERE. WHAT IS HIGHLIGHT WEATHERED IT SAYS THE LEARNING GUIDE PARENTS AND LEARNING GUIDE STUDENTS THOSE NUMBERS WITH PROBABLY A FEW EXCEPTIONS OR MAYBE A MOM AND A DAD AND SOMEBODY PUT IN AROUND THE SAME STUDENT MOST OF THOSE ARE UNIQUE FEEDBACK OPPORTUNITIES. THIS IS WHAT IS BEING POPULATED IN THE LEARNING GUIDE WHERE WE ASKED FAMILIES AND STUDENTS HOW DO YOU THINK THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE AFFECTED YOU? HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW IN THE AREAS MUCH LEARNING AND HOW YOU HANDLE EMOTIONS AND A VARIETY OF THINGS THEN WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DO YOU NEED? WE'VE DONE A SERIES MUCH SURVEYS, WE STARTED MORE TARGETED IN PERSON WORK AROUND THIS. AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TRACK BALLPARK NUMBER OF CONTACTS SO THAT WE HAVE ALREADY AS WE'LL GET TO, PROBABLY ROLL ON NOW. THE WORK HAS ALREADY HELPED US REACH WHERE WE HAVE A NEW VISION. NOW CORE VALUES INSTEAD OF CORE BELIEFS. MOVE AHEAD. MORE TIMELINE STUFF. PAUSE

[01:00:03]

WE WANT THEM WHEN THEY COME ON BOARD TO BE A PART OF THIS. PLUS THE REALITY IS WE WERE IN A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE WITH AT LEAST WITH N.T.A.EVEN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND SO I'LL SAY YOU DON'T SEE FROM THE BEGINNING N. T. A. BEING A PART OF THIS. SO IT WASN'T LIKE WE DIDN'T ENGAGE TEACHERS AND CLASSIFIED STAFF AND MANAGERS BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PULL THEM IN AND TRY TO MOVE SOMETHING FORWARD. THERE'S AN APPROACH TO THAT THAT I WON'T JERRELL ARTICULATE BECAUSE I LIKE TO SPEND TIME WITH PRESIDENT HARVEY AND WALK HER THROUGH THAT. I DON'T WANT TO SURPRISE HER ABOUT SOME OF THE THINKING, SHE PROBABLY HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS HOW WE CAN COME TOGETHER. SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. DEFINITELY NEXT SLIDE. YOU HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS. VISION CORE VALUES, WE APPROACHED THE VISION, I THINK WE TOUCHED ON THAT 2 OR 3 BOARD MEETINGS, IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THERE AND THE CORE VALUES CAME THROUGH A LITTLE FASTER AS WE SHIFT FROM, SHIFTED FROM THINGS WE BELIEVED THAT WE HOPED WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WILL TO THINGS WE CAN SAY NOW MORE AND MORE HAPPENING. WE VALUE THEM AND WE KNEE WE NEED TO GET BETTER AT SOME OF THE AREAS.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE SIX PILLARS, AS I TALKED ABOUT IN OUR LAST STRATEGIC PLAN WE CALLED THEM STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS. YOU CAN LOOK AT A VARIETY OF TRAGIC PLANS, ONE MUCH THE THINGS WE TRY TO DO IS BENCHMARK, LOOK AT OTHER DISTRICTS. TRUSTEE HEREDIA GAVE ME ONE YESTERDAY THAT I FOUND VERY VALUABLE IN LOOKING AT HOW THEY FORMAT TEMPERATURE AND APPROACH IT.

THEY, FOR EXAMPLE INCLUDE IN THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN SOME METRICS WHERE WE HAVE A DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT THAT THE BOARD TOOK A LOOK AT AND EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS APPROVED OR EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR. THE METRICS. THE DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT WILL BE RETURNING LATE THIS FALL OR EARLY THIS WINTER IF WE'RE GETTING SOME OF THE RESULTS IN DECEMBER. IT IS' PROBABLY BE OR VERY LATE IN NOVEMBER, THE DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT MY NOT MATERIALIZE UNTIL JANUARY. WE NORMALLY WOULD LIKE TO DELIVER IT IN NOTCH BUT LOOKING -- NOVEMBER.

BUT LOOKING AT THE SURVEY AND THE ENGAGEMENT WE HAD DONE FOR THE LAST NOW IT'S A YEAR. IT WAS ABOUT 9 MONTHS AT THE TIME. WE CREATED 6 DRAFT PILLARS BASED ON FEEDBACK AND THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ALREADY AND THINGS WE WERE HEARING FROM STAKEHOLDERS AND THESE WERE THE 6. I WON'T READ THEM TO YOU. READ THEM YOURSELF.

IF YOU ROLL TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

ANY TIME YOU SEE AN APPLE IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER, I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER IT. I'M NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT TO READ IT OR ASK YOU TO LOOK AT IT. THAT MEANS WE INCLUDED THIS AS RESOURCE INFORMATION FOR TRUSTEES TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT AND TRUSTEES GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THIS IN ADVANCE PLUS FOR ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO OUR AGENDA LATER, WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE RESPONSES WERE. (STAND BY FOR CAPTIONS.)

>> THEY'RE WOLFFFULLY SUPPORTIVE TO HELP US SEE DIFFERENT PER RESPECTEDDIVES, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE ASKED IS DO YOU WANT TO KEEP USING THE WORD "SOCIAL EMOTIONAL OR WERE THERE IS SOME OTHER WORDS OUT THERE THAT MIGHT HELP? WE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF FEEDBACK POINTS AND THE, ABOUT 47% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAID PLEASE KEEP USING "SOCIAL EMOTIONAL." WHAT POPPED FROM THIS FEEDBACK WAS THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW SELF-CONFIDENCE IS INSTILLED AND TALKED ABOUT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO THE TUNE

[01:05:01]

YOU WERE ABLE TO PICK A COUPLE OF THESE, YOU WEREN'T LIMITED TO ONE. SO THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP TO 100 PERCENT, WE ARE AWARE OF THAT. THERE'S MORE DATA VEINS THERE FOR EVERYONE TO LOOK AT AND THEN BASED ON THE FEEDBACK ON THOSE QUESTIONS, WE REACHED A SPOT THAT SAID OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS TWO THINGS THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THESE PILLARS, SELF-CONFIDENCE WAS ONE OF THEM. AND TIED TO SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH, WELLNESS AND SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SAFETY POPPED UP A NUMBER OF TIMES. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT FIT. AND WE TIED IT UNDER OPERATIONAL SUCCESSION AND SAFETY. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DEBATED. IF STUDENTS DON'T FEEL SAFE, THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS ISN'T GOING TO BE THE SAME.

BUT THIS IS WHERE WE TOOK THE FEEDBACK AND LANDED.

WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, WE'LL BRING THIS SLIDE UP AGAIN AND ASK THE BOARD FOR SOME DISCUSSION, SOME FEEDBACK. IF YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS ON THIS, THEN ULTIMATELY WE HOPE CONSIDERATION FOR ACTION TONIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO PAUSE BECAUSE THAT IS THE PILLARS.

THAT WAS A LOT. TONIGHT THE GOAL IS TO GET ACTION ON PILLARS IF WE CAN. THE SECOND MAJOR PART OF THIS WAS TO GIVE THE BOARD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT GOALS. AND TO GIVE SOME HISTORY AND BACKGROUND. BEFORE WE GET TO THE GOALS WERE THERE ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS OR ENGAGEMENT OR PROCESS AROUND PILLARS AT THIS POINT? [INDISCERNIBLE] THANK YOU. SO GOALS. WE HAD A RICH HISTORY IN NATOMAS WITH GOALS. IN 2011, 2012 WE HAD AN INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT AND WHEN I RECEIVED A COPY OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN AFTER I ACCEPTED THE JOB, I ALMOST UNACCEPTED THE JOB. IT HAD 23 GOALS. BASICALLY THINGS THAT WOULD TAKE A DECADE OR MORE IN SOME CASES TO IMPLEMENT AND IT WAS ALL GOING TO BE DONE BY THE END MUCH MY FIRST YEAR AS SUPERINTENDENT.

AND I MEAN IT WAS REALLY WHILE IT HAD A NUMBER OF STRONG ELEMENTS OF THINGS THAT MANY THINGS WE'VE IMPLEMENTED OR THINGS THAT WOULD BE THOUGHTFUL IN A NUMBER OF PLACES, THE GENERAL IDEA WAS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT THIS. AT THAT POINT IN TIME WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISMISS THE WORK EITHER. THERE WERE ABOUT, TO GIVE YOU A SCALE FOR HOW DIFFERENT OF AN ORGANIZATION WE ARE, THERE WERE ABOUT 100 STAKEHOLDERS THAT HAD ENGAGED IN THE FIRST STRATEGIC PLAN.

LIKE I SAID I'M NOT SAYING THAT 14,107 ARE INDIVIDUAL FOLKS, BUT FROM FAMILIES AND STUDENTS, 10,000 ARE. SO THERE IS PROBABLY 11 TO 12,000 THAT HAVE ENGAGE IN THIS PROCESS ALREADY. STUDENTS, STAFF, OTHER QUAY STAKEHOLDERS, ONE OF THE GOALS WAS RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY. GENERAL IDEA WAS THAT WE WOULD DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE THE MAINTENANCE OF TECH NIL. (CAPTIONS WILL RESUME SHORTLY.) ARE.

>> THAT WAS ALL GOING TO BE DONE IN A YEAR. WHEN AT THAT POINT WE'RE STILL UNDER A FISCAL ADVISOR, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE DID NOT HAVE WI-FI IN OUR SCHOOLS, PARENTS THROUGH THE P.T.A.HAD PUT IN A NETWORK THAT ACTUALLY ENDED UP NOT TO THE PARENTS FAULT BUT IT ACTUALLY CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONFIGURED RIGHT. ED HERON THAN IT WAS HELPING STUDENTS BUT IT WAS THE BEST INTENT. WE HAD WIFI HERE I GUESS. IT WAS HIT OR MISS. LAPTOPS WERE NOT ALLOWED IN NATOMAS UNIFIED. TECH DEPARTMENT WOULDN'T BUY THEM SO I ARAVED AND ASKED FOR ONE AND ASKED FOR ONE THEN DIRECTED TO BUY ONE. IT WAS CRAZY STUFF GOING ON TRYING TO EVEN GET A LAPTOP. (STAND BY FOR CAPTIONS.)

[01:10:27]

>> I TRIED TO ARTICULATE THAT WE FIGURED OUT IT WAS ONE OF THE POLICIES CAUSING PROBLEMS. AND IT, I HAD STRUGGLES CONVINCING EVERY BOARD MEMBER. SO I TURNED IT OFF. EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING.

THAT'S HOW WE SAID SEE, THIS IS OUR TECH PEOPLE KNOW. ALL THAT, THAT WAS' ONE OF THE 23 GOALS THAT WE HAD. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WANTED TO HONOR THE FEEDBACK OF THE 100 FOLKS. WE LOOKED AT THIS AS WE PLANNED GOING FORWARD, AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE AS A GOVERNOR'S TEAM SAID HOW DO WE GO FROM 23 TO SOMETHING MORE MANAGEABLE? THE BOARD CAN HAVE OVERSIGHT, MONITORING AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND THAT STAFF COULD BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND? SO IT WAS VERY SIMPLE P WE CALLED THEM THEMATIC GOALS DESIGNED TO BE TEMPORARY, THEMATIC BEING TEMPORARY. EDGE PLENTY DISTRICTWIDE ACCOUNTABILITY SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY COOL AND WORKED ON WITH NATOMAS TEACHERS ASSOCIATION IN GEE TWO, TRYING TO AVERT A TRYING, ACT TO AGGRESSIVELY ATTACK DECLINING ENROLLMENT, RETAIN FUNDING AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT QUALITY STUDENT PROGRAMS. AT THE TIME THERE WAS A WORRY AND BELIEF NATOMAS WOULD SHRINK INTO THE 8,000 NUMBER OF STUDENTS NOT COUNTING CHARTER BASED ON THE, AS OUR STUDENTS WERE LEAVING TO EITHER GO TO CHARTER OR LEAVING THE DISTRICT. WE CURRENTLY STAND IN TOTALITY MOVING TOWARDS WE'RE AT 16,000 MOVING TO 7,000 AND WHEN YOU COUNT PRE-K. OVER 12,000 STUDENTS IN NATOMAS. PEOPLE SAY WELL IT'S A GROWING DISTRICT OF THE WE MOVED THAT NEEDLE IN THE GROWTH DURING THE MORATORIUM.

SO THIS WAS A THOUGHTFUL PROCESS THAT THE BOARD SAID, HELP US SHRINK TO 23 TO 4 BECAUSE 23 WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE BOARD AT THAT TIME TO WRAP THEIR HEAD AROUND.

SOMETHING WAS IMPROVED COMMUNICATION BOTH WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND WITHIN NATOMAS UNIFIED COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT WHEN THE NEXT 5 WAS CRAFTED FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS AND FAMILIES THEY FELT COMMUNICATION WAS ONE OF OUR STRENGTHS. FROM AN IDENTIFIED WEAKNESS AND FEEDBACK TO A STRENGTH. WE MOVED PAST THEMATIC GOALS AND CREATED ALIGNED WITH THE LCAP THE IDEA OF DISTRICT GOALS, BRAND NEW ONES NOT DESIGNED TO BE THEMATIC. AT THIS TIME WE STRUCK A DEAL, SOME OF YOU MIGHT REMEMBER AS TRUSTEES AND STAFF DOES THERE WAS DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER EVERY LCAP ACTION SHOULD BE A GOAL OR WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE BROADER GOALS. WE INITIALLY APPROVED THIS FOR ONE YEAR WITH THE IDEA THAT AFTER A YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LCAP, THAT IF THE BROAD GOALS, WHAT THE LCAP WAS CALLING FOR WE WOULD ADD A FEW MORE YEARS TO THIS.

THAT'S WHAT WE DID. THOSE POOR DISTRICTS THAT HAD 53-66 GOALS REALIZED VERY QUICKLY THAT WE COULDN'T GET THERE. SO I WAS VERY APPRECIATIVE OUR TRUSTEES WERE WILLING TO GO WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND KEEP IT TO ABOUT 5. THEN WE HAD ANOTHER LOOK.

IN 2017 WE CAME BACK. SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A 3 YEAR, INSTEAD OF 5 YEAR, MY APOLOGIES, WE ENGAGED OUR FAMILIES IN SOME STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT. WE ALIGNED WITH THE NEXT FIVE AND THERE WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT WERE MADE. THE GOALS 2 THROUGH 35 ARE REAFFIRMED AND CIVICS WAS ADDED TO GOAL 1. SO NOW THAT LEADS US TO 2022. OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. OUR FORWARD 5. AND IN THE SPRING, WE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE OUR FAMILIES IN A SURVEY. YOU SEE THE 293 RESPONSES FAIRLY LOW. I THINK THAT WAS' GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE EVERYONE WAS JUST DONE WITH 21-22 AND WANTED THE YEAR TO GO AWAY. BUT WE DID TAKE SOME WORDS THAT POPPED UP IN OTHER SURVEYS.

ONE OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT AND I THINK IT'S REALLY FAIR FEEDBACK FROM OUR PARENT GROUPS AND OTHER GROUPS THAT WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH IS THAT THIS SURVEY WAS ENCREDIBLEY FILLED WITH EDUCATIONESE.

AND SO ONE OF THE FEEDBACK POINTS CAN YOU BE DIFFERENT

[01:15:03]

SO JUST ONCE AGAIN MEETING WITH THE SMALL IN PERSON GROUPS ON TOP OF THE BIG BROAD SURVEYS HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE INTIMATE AND WHETHER THEY'RE IN ZOOM BECAUSE THEIR HYBRID MEETINGS ARE IN PERSON. FEEDBACK MATTERS AMEND IT'S SUPERHELPFUL. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE WORK AROUND THE GOALS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

>> THESE REPRESENT GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN SHIFTED AND COMBINED THEY ARE DIFFERENT THAN OUR CURRENT FIRST THREE GOALS AS SOME OF THE FEEDBACK IS HOW DO YOU MERGE ACADEMICS WITH COLLEGE AND CAREER SUCCESS HOW DO YOU TIE THAT TOGETHER? YOU SEE CONFIDENT CAME UP SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, ENGAGEMENT AND THE IDEA BEHIND ENGAGEMENT FROM YOUR ORIGINAL GOAL WAS KIDS ARE THERE, THEY'RE CONNECTED, THEY ARE CONNECTED TO AN ADULT WHO CARES FOR THEM.

THEY ARE CONNECTED IN HEALTHY WAYS WITH FRIENDS AND PEERS.

NONE OF THAT GOES AWAY BUT AS WE HAVE MATURED THIS ONE GETS MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT ENGAGING WITH CURRICULUM WHICH COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC STUDENTS WERE IN FRONT OF THEIR SCREENS FOR A WHILE WE NEED TO GET BACK TO ACTIVITIES AND THINGS THAT WILL ENGAGE STUDENTS AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL HELP WITH BEHAVIORS AND ALSO THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SPORTS AND MUSIC AND THE BOARD POLICY REFERENCED EXTRACURRICULAR CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES YOU SHOULD SEE THINGS FROM OUR VISION AND BOARD POLICIES AND NUMBER FOUR AND NUMBER FIVE ARE SAME SAME.

THERE IS NOT A CHANGE WE WANT TO ENGAGE OUR FAMILY SERVICE IN A CHANGE WE WANT TO RECRUIT, HIRE AND REJOIN ? RETAIN HIGH QUALITY STAFF AND BECAUSE OF THE BROWN ACT THEY DON'T GET TO TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THE SAW THIS IS HERE IN THIS PRESENTATION SO THEY CAN PROCESS THIS AND TURNING THIS OVER TO YOU AND TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND TO GIVE US FOOD FOR THOUGHT PLEASE. [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> I THINK A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THE DRAFT GOALS AND I LIKE THAT IT IS VERY STUDENT FOCUSED ONE THING I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS FITS I THINK BEING MINDFUL AS YOU DISCUSSED SUPERINTENDENT EVANS, WE ARE WHERE WE ARE BECAUSE WE ARE MINDFUL OF THE BUDGET. AND I KNOW WE ARE HEADING INTO THE FEDERAL MONEY THAT IS GOING AWAY.T DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE HEADING INTO A DEFICIT BUT THE EXTRA MONEY THAT WE HAVE HAD, THAT WE ENJOY THAT HAS GIVEN US THE SUPPORTS AND NEEDS I HAVE BEEN A HUGE ADVOCATE FOR SOCIAL WORKERS ON CAMPUS WE DON'T KNOW WHERE BEING MINDFUL OF HOW WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE BUDGETS AND

[01:20:05]

>> >> DOES ANYONE HAVE A SESSION ON THAT QUESTION? SO WHEN I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING I AM ALSO THINKING HEALT BECAUSE THE ? DEMONSTRATES OUR VALUES AND WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE IMPORTANT IN THIS DISTRICT AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO ALIGN THE BUDGET FOR THE USE SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES IT MORE COMPLEX BUT I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED SO I THINK IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT WHERE WE GO IN SO MANY YEARS THOSE FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE SO WE DO THINK THE IDEA OF DETERMINING WHAT IS IMPORTANT EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CAN AFFORD AND MAINTAIN AND I THINK THOSE ARE REALLY HARD DISCUSSIONS SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BUDGET WE ARE LOOKING AT PRIORITIES AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING ABOUT AND YOU HAVE SAID THIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE NEED TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE AND IF THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE IN PLACE IF THERE ARE DIVIDENDS FROM THOSE PROGRAMS TO WHAT DEGREE TO THOSE PROGRAMS SERVE STUDENTS HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE SERVED BY A PARTICULAR PROGRAM AND THEN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT TO SEE TO MINIMIZE MORE PROGRAMS IN TERMS OF STUDENT SUCCESS AND PUT MORE FUNDS AND TRY TO DO THEM BETTER THAN WE

ARE AND THAT SO DIVERSE AND >> YOU BRING UP A VALID POINT AS YOU LOOK AT THE MISSION AND GOALS AND HOW WE FUND IT SOMETHING VERY CONSISTENT AND IS THAT TIME BECAUSE WE DID

[01:25:16]

WHAT WAS OUT THERE THAT IS DONE THAT IS INNOVATIVE THAT WE CAN BRING IN THAT IT'S CREATING A MOU WITH THE UNION AND HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE WHICH NATOMAS HAS BEEN GOOD AT DOING AND BEING MINDFUL AND HOW DO WE FOCUS LOOKING THROUGH THE LENS OF EVERYTHING AT CCI.

>> IN LOOKING AT THE EQUITY LENS WHICH HAS NOW GIVEN US A BROAD LENS TO USE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THIS DISTRICT. SO WHEN I LOOKED AT AND I AM PROBABLY GETTING TOO FAR INTO THE WEEDS SO JUST TELL ME IF I AM. WHEN I LOOK AT NUMBER FOUR, AND I LOOK AT NUMBER FIVE AND I LOOK AT HOW USS NUMBER FOUR AND NUMBER FIVE TO KNOW THE GROWTH THAT YOU MAKE IN A DISTRICT I CAN, WITH A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT HOW YOU CAN DO THAT AND STAFF DOES THAT A LOT AND WHEN I LOOK AT 12 AND THREE THERE ARE A LOT OF WORDS THAT JUST HAVE TO BE DEFINED SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND CURRICULUM.

I WILL JUST PICK AND EASY ONE. JUST ON MY OWN THROUGH THE DISTRICT I THINK IT'S WHO IS REALLY ENGAGED AND THERE'S LOTS OF NOISE AND THEN I ALSO SEE SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT BE AS ANIMATED BUT THE STUDENTS ARE ENGAGED AND SO I THINK THAT WE REALLY NEED TO ? BECAUSE IF I WAS THINKING ABOUT WAYS IN WHICH TO USE A METRICS TO EVALUATE THIS AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IN THE END TO KNOW WHAT IS OUR BASELINE AND HOW FAR WE HAVE COME AND CONFIDENCE IS ANOTHER WORD AND ANYWAY I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO MUCH THERE BUT I THINK THE IDEA IS I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE PUT DOWN ON PAPER, WHEN IT COMES TIME TO MEASURE THE GROWTH, THAT WE REALLY HAVE A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT MEANS IN TERMS OF GROWTH SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND. IT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF WHEN I FIRST WAS A TRUSTEE AND I WOULD SEE IN THE EARLY YEARS, NOT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS BUT I WOULD SEE TEST SCORES GO UP AND WE WOULD BE TOLD AS TRUSTEES, WE MADE 25 PERCENT GAINS AND YET WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW, WE DID NOT KNOW WHO MADE THE GAINS.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GROUP OF STUDENTS.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND I SHOULD SAY I REMEMBER THAT.

BUT IN NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS COULD ACTUALLY PROPEL THE SCORES IN SOME AREAS SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE MAKING GAINS SO YOU WOULDN'T GET GAINED BY WHOEVER WAS DOING THAT SO I JUST WANT US TO BE, I THINK I LIKE THE WAY THEY ARE WORDED BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT ASSESSMENT.

[01:30:05]

>> I WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT BECAUSE I HAD WORDS LIKE ? AND THINKING ABOUT WHICH PROGRAMS ARE WORKING AND IT MIGHT BE TIME TO JUST SWITCH IT UP WE ARE LOOKING AT THE SAME GOALS AND I AGREE WITH WHAT ? THAT WAS IT FOR THE GOALS PART.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS, BRIEFLY BECAUSE OUR STUDENT DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE FEEDBACK, I HOPE, IS THAT AS WE LOOK AT THESE GOALS, IF WE COULD COME BACK WITH THE THOUGHT PROCESSES ON HOW THEY ARE MEASURED BECAUSE I AM SURE STAFF HAS SOME THOUGHT PROCESSES BECAUSE I CAN SEE THE DRAFT GOAL LIKE THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY TYPE OF THINGS BECAUSE IT DOES MEASURE HOW STUDENTS FEEL ABOUT SAFETY AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL CONNECTION BUT I KNOW OUR STAFF DEAL WITH THIS ON A DAILY BASIS SO I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM THEM ON THEIR THOUGHT PROCESSES OF HOW SOME ATTEMPTED MEASURE COULD BE GAINED.

>> SO IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING WHICH IS REQUIRED AND WHICH MEASURES WE ARE REQUIRED TO USE VERSUS WHAT MEASURE WE HAVE THE OPTIONS.

>> I WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER A LOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

I JUST WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF LETTING EVERYONE TALK FIRST BUT I AM TAKING NOTES AND I THINK THERE ARE ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP YOU SHINE THE LIGHT FORWARD.

[INDISCERNIBLE] >> HOPEFULLY CAPTURE THAT IN FUTURE TECHNOLOGY SO WE DO HAVE A SYSTEM AND PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THE LAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS THE DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT AND THE STATE REPORTING FOR WHAT'S REQUIRED IT'S STUFF THAT WILL BE MEASURED BECAUSE THE STATE SAYS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT IT'S COMING ON THE PROGRESS REPORT WHICH INCLUDES A PRIOR BOARD COMING TOGETHER SAYING YES WE WANT THOSE THINGS SO PART OF THE PROCESS THESE GOALS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE SPECIFIC BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE SERVING 12 TO 13,000 KIDS UPWARDS OF 14,000 BY THE TIME THIS IS DONE FIVE YEARS IN YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY LIKE STUDENTS WILL DEMONSTRATE GROWTH BLANK PERCENT IN THIS PERCENT IN LITERACY SINCE WE ARE BUILDING ? WE ARE FLYING THE PLANE AS WE ARE BUILDING IT AND WE NEED SOME BASELINE DATA TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE LITERACY AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE OF THE METRICS THAT WOULD EXIST UNDERNEATH SO I TRIED TO WRITE THIS DOWN TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP WE HAVE A VISION APPROVED BY THE BOARD WE HAVE CORE VALUES APPROVED BY THIS BOARD. IN JUST A MOMENT WE WILL TALK ABOUT POLLUTERS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL EITHER HAVE IT APPROVED TONIGHT OR GET CLOSER TO THE NEXT MEETING FOR APPROVAL THE IDEA BEHIND GOALS ARE TO HAVE ? THE IDEA BEHIND THE STRATEGIC PLAN IF WE GET THE GOALS APPROVED AT THE LATEST BY ONE BOARD MEETING IN NOVEMBER THAN THEY WOULD BE A DIGITAL DOCUMENT THAT WE WOULD BE LOOK WORKING ON A CREATING THAT WOULD BE POPULATED INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF ACTIONS THAT THE BOARD HAS ALREADY APPROVED THAT'S IN THE BUDGET OR ONGOING ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE SO THE BOARD WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AND SAY HERE'S WAYS THAT THESE ACTIONS ARE ORGANIZED IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE GOALS AND THE PILLARS AND FROM THAT THE ? A LOT OF WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING.

YOU ARE THERE. THE L CAP NEEDS TO BE

[01:35:03]

THEY ARE BOTH FRUIT AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME IN 2019 THAT WE CAN SAY THAT WAS A SOMEWHAT NORMAL YEAR AND COMPARE IT TO LAST YEAR WHICH WAS NOT NORMAL BUT THE EXAMS WERE GIVEN AND THE STUDENTS TICKET. WE CAN STILL LOOK AT A THROUGH G. WE CAN STILL LOOK AT GRADUATION RATE WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS THAT ARE PART OF THE DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD IS GETTING A CHANCE IN THIS SETTING TO USE THE CCL I TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH THIS IS COSTING AND TO WHAT EXTENT WITH THE DATA WE HAVE, WHAT'S EFFECTIVE AND THE LAST PART OF THAT STRATEGIC PLAN, WHAT WE ARE DOING CURRENTLY. I SUSPECT SOME THINGS WILL ? THAT MAYBE THE DECISION IS WE CANNOT KEEP DOING NEW THINGS.

THERE IS NO MAYBE IT'S TIME. IT'S TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING BETTER WHEN WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STAFFING SHORTAGE AND EVERYONE'S COMING THE LAST TWO YEARS, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

FOR BETTER OR WORSE. SO IF WE CAN GET TO THE GOALS BY NOVEMBER THAN THE BUDGET CYCLE AND WE HAVE A BUDGET CYCLE THAT BEGINS EVERY NOVEMBER AND THE IDE THAT WE TIE IT TO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD TONIGHT FROM PRESIDENT HARVEY I CAN GO BACK AND ENGAGE AND START OVER WITH THE L-CAT ELITIST TO WANT TO SAY HERE'S YOUR DISTRICT WE WANT TO BE A PART OF LOOKING AT WHAT IS EXISTING AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY EFFECTIVE AND NEW TRUSTEES WILL SAY LOOK AT IT NOW IS GETTING THAT KIND OF RESULTS WITH A BRING SOMETHING UP AND THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS WORKING AND THERE IS GREAT OPPORTUNITY FROM DECEMBER THROUGH THE BUDGET WHICH UNDER THIS CURRENT LEGISLATION DOES NOT GET APPROVED UNTIL LATE IN JUNE SO WE DEFINITELY ARE FAKING IT IN JUNE IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET BUT OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE CCL IT IS L-CAT TO ENGAGE TRUSTEES AND LABOR PARTNER A DIFFERENT WAY AND CONTINUE WITH THE INCREASING NUMBER OF STUDENT VOICES AND THE MEETINGS THAT THEY ARE HAVING WITH STUDENTS TO GET MORE FEEDBACK AND INPUT WE ARE EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFERENT THAN WE WERE NOT JUST IN 2012 AND 13 WHEN WE HAVE THE 23 PART STRATEGIC PLAN WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN THREE YEARS AGO WITH THIS JOB AND I'M NOT TALKING JUST MY JOB. FAMILY, STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, BOARD MEMBERS, IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE THIS ACCOUNTABILITY BUT NOT THE ABILITY TO TRACK GROWTH BECAUSE IT ISN'T THERE.

SO THE LANGUAGE, IT'S INTENTIONALLY NOT DESIGNED TO BE TOO SPECIFIC AND NARROW BUT WE CAN START NESTING THE

[01:40:06]

THE TIMING IS RIGHT ESPECIALLY IF BUDGET CUTS COME A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW AND WHATNOT SO IS THAT MAKING SENSE WITH WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? THE BOARD WOULD ACTUALLY APPROVE EVERYTHING WITH THIS PLAN OCTOBER WOULD BE IDEAL IN NOVEMBER AT THE LATEST WITH THE IDEA THAT THE REST OF THE STUFF IS ONGOING ISN'T THAT THE BEST STRATEGIC PLAN? TO HAVE ONE THAT IS NOT A PRINTED FIXED DOCUMENT TO GIVE YOU THE DIRECTION AND ABILITY WITH CHANGES AND OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR CORE VALUES BUT BE FLEXIBLE.

DOES THAT HELP WITH ANY OF WHERE WE ARE TRYING TO GUIDE YOU AND WALK YOU THROUGH THIS?

>> THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT. ARE WE AT A POINT WHERE WE COULD POTENTIALLY DISCUSS THE PILLARS?

>> THE ONE THING I LIKED AND THE ONE THING THAT POPPED OUT AT ME IS IN THREE DIFFERENT AREAS WE SEE SUCCESS.

THE FIRST WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUCCESS AND THE LAST TO TALK ABOUT SUCCESS AND SUCCESS MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS.

TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS AND I KNOW THESE WORDS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STUDENT ACADEMIC SUCCESS MAYBE IS THAT STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT BECAUSE ACHIEVEMENT IS DIFFERENT TO EVERYBODY AND WE ARE ACHIEVING SOMETHING WHERE SUCCESS IS ALMOST LIKE YOU MADE IT AND ACHIEVEMENT IS EVERYBODY'S ACHIEVEMENT IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND IT ALLOWS FOR THAT THOUGHT PROCESS OF ACHIEVEMENT AND I ALSO THOUGHT OPERATIONAL SUCCESS, WILL BE LOOK AT MORE OPERATIONAL STABILITY OR STRENGTH BECAUSE STABILITY BRINGS IN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET AND STRENGTH IS THE STRENGTH OF A STRONG OPERATIONAL CORE OF THE DISTRICT AND THE BUDGET. THOSE WERE MY ONLY THOUGHT PROCESSES AND STAFF GROWTH AND SUCCESS.

I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IS THAT THE WORD THAT WE WANT TO USE?

>> THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE.

>> I WOULD ECHO THAT STAFF GROWTH AND SUCCESS.

AGAIN. SUCCESS.

MEASUREMENT. IN TERMS OF SUCCESS.

SO POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT WE COULD SAY THERE.

ALSO AND I GUESS WE COULD CONSIDER STUDENT ACADEMIC SUCCESS IF WE GO BACK TO AGAIN BUT ONLY IF WE, THE GOALS ARE TIGHTLY DEFINED IN TERMS OF GOAL NUMBER ONE SOMEHOW WE HAD A REALLY CLEAR VISION ABOUT GOAL NUMBER ONE AND WE RELATED THAT TO THE PILLAR. I AM JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO STRETCH IT THERE.

>> IS ACHIEVEMENT OF BETTER WORD? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT WORD IS BUT HAVING BEEN IN EDUCATION AND BEEN A DIVERSITY AND EQUITY EXPRESS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

>> THE ANSWER IS NOW. I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT. BUT I KNOW WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAY. WE ARE TRYING TO SAY THINGS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GONE THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND I THINK I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO COME BACK AND GIVE THAT MORE

[01:45:02]

>> I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. AND I GET WHERE WE COULD DO THAT BUT THE ONE THAT PROBABLY OPERATIONAL SUCCESS I WOULD MOST WANT TO SEE THE WORD OF STABILITY OR STRENGTH.

>> ONE OF THE CHALLENGES AND EFFECT AND I WOULD SAY THIS BOARD HAS TO BE CAREFUL WE DO SOMETIMES TALK ABOUT LANGUAGE SO I WILL ASK YOU TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A LEAVE.

SO AS YOU TALK ABOUT STABILITY I WOULD THINK YOU ARE COMING FROM THE BUDGET. THE FAMILY FEEDBACK TALKS ABOUT CONCERNS ABOUT GROWTH AND THE GROWTH OF THE DISTRICT AND ADDING MORE SCHOOLS AND MAKING SURE CLASS SIZES DON'T GET TOO BIG AS WE GROW SO THE WORD SUCCESS IS INTENTIONALLY VAGUE SO CAN BE DEFINED BY US SO IF YOU WOULD ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT ANGELA AND THIS IS A PAGE FROM THE DISTRICT PROGRESS REPORT AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GO THIS DEEP BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC HAD US FOCUSING ON OTHER THINGS. BUT THE WAY WE LOOK AT OUR INDICATORS IS WE GIVE 2 SPECIFIC COLORS AND DESIGNS, IF YOU WILL. SO WE HAVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS WHICH WE SUSPECT WILL BE REVISED GOING FORWARD WITH THE L-CAT AND CCL I AND OFTEN IF IT MEETS OR EXCEEDS A TARGET IT IS GREEN. IF IT'S A MEDIUM PERFORMANCE, IT'S YELLOW AND IF IT'S A LOW PERFORMANCE IT'S RED AND IF IT IS NOT DETERMINED BECAUSE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED IT WHERE THE STATE WOULD ROLL SOMETHING OUT. IT'S WHITE.

NOW IF YOU LOOK AT THE TREND INDICATOR LOOK AT PROGRESS OVER TIME THAT'S HOW THEY HAVE DEFINED GROWTH WE HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AS WE MOVE FORWARD THIS IS A COMPLEX SYSTEM.

THIS CAN BE CHANGED BUT IT'S THE WAY WE LOOK AT GROWTH ITS PROGRESS OVER TIME THAT'S ACTUALLY A BOARD POLICY THE IDEA OF PROGRESS OVER TIME SO THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAD THAT EXISTS IS TIED TO BOARD POLICY AND THE IDEA IS HAS THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVED OVER TIME? HAS IT BEEN RELATIVELY FLAT OR HAS IT DECLINED AND WE PUT IT IN THE REPORT AND TWICE A YEAR WE ROLL IT OUT BECAUSE TWICE A YEAR IN CALIFORNIA, YOU GET DATA SO IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND ROLLING THROUGH A FEW OTHER PAGES ANGELA. MAV IF THERE IS ? ONE MORE PAGE BACK YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE YOU REMEMBER THAT WE HAD A SUBGROUP THAT MET AND BROUGHT FORWARD TO THIS BOARD TO CONSIDER AROUND THE IDEA OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DEFINED AS STUDENT ACCESS AND READINESS AND THE NEW BOARD GOING FORWARD I THINK IT'S TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OF THIS AND ADJUST SO IF YOU MOVE FORWARD THIS IS A BIG PICTURE 2019 BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WE HAD A PHENOMENAL YEAR IN A LOT OF AREAS.

THAT'S A LOT OF GREEN, A LOT OF YELLOW.

ONE THING. WE ARE UP FOR A GOLDEN BELL AWARD FOR CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

THIS TIME I AM SUPER PROUD OF WHAT THE STAFF HAS DONE IN THE BOARD APPROVING SO MANY OPTIONS AND PATHWAYS THAT WE HAVE TO

[01:50:04]

WE HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION WITH PASSPORTS AND YOU SAY WE DON'T WANT TO TRAP KIDS OR FORCE THEM INTO SOMETHING AND THE STATE IS DRIVING YOU TOWARDS THAT.

THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION SAYS IN OUR L-CAT WE WANT YOU TO PUT THAT DATA IN BECAUSE THE STATE WAS TO EMPHASIZE THAT AND IT'S A DATA POINT FOR US THAT WASN'T GOOD.

AND GO FOR BECAUSE IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE GOOD AT.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE APPROVED ALL OF THESE PATHWAYS.

YOU NEED TO GO WALK AND VISIT AND NOW WE NEED TO DIG IN AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT A SEQUENCE OF COURSES.

WE SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT IT RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT WHEN IT COMES TO SPECIFIC MEASURABLE METRICS AND ELEMENTS OF GOALS WE HAVE ONES THAT EXIST THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO USE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE BOARD BEING ABLE TO SAY WE WANT TO LOOK AT ENGAGEMENT DIFFERENTLY. WE WANT ACCESS AND READINESS IT'S DIFFERENT NOW AND I KNOW IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT.

MAYBE IF YOU ZOOM IN AND THE BOARD MET WITH STAFF, AND BROUGHT IT TO THE BOARD IT WAS DETERMINED THAT GRADUATION RATE WAS A MATTER OF ENGAGEMENT NOT ACCESS AND READINESS.

EXPULSION RATE, DROPOUT RATE, THIS IS OUR SYSTEM THAT EXISTS AFTER 2020 IT HAS BEEN ON PAUSE AND IT IS COMING BACK.

SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE PILLARS AND THE GOALS THE REASON THEY ARE BROAD IS TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT HERE IS WHAT EXISTS, HERE IS WHAT WE ARE DOING, HERE'S HOW TO CHANGE IT GOING FORWARD. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH ? DOES NOT HELP AT ALL? THIS IS IN-DEPTH THAT HONESTLY WE WILL BE DIGGING IN A WORKSHOP SETTING WILL BEGET NEW BOARD MEMBERS.

>>. [INDISCERNIBLE]

>> I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND IF WE ARE GOING TO GET TO NEW BOARD MEMBERS, SO FOR NOW TO GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SELF-CONFIDENCE AND I KNOW THE FAMILY. [INDISCERNIBLE] AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THERE'S PEOPLE GRADUATING WITH A 2.0 AND IT'S HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE SO SUCCESS IS JUST THAT AND

>> SO IF I AM HEARING YOU ACCURATELY YOU ARE RECOMMENDING SELF-CONFIDENCE, SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS? WOULD THAT WORK?

>> YES.

>> SO A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PILLARS AS THEY ARE WITH CHANGING WORD IN THE SECOND BULLET AS SHARED.

>> CORRECT.

>>.

>> AND YOU HAVE GIVEN US ANOTHER STEP AND

>> OUR HOPE IS THAT THE END OF OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER THAT THERE

[XVI.b. Present and Approve 2021-22 Unaudited Actuals]

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THE NEXT ACTION ITEM PRESENTED AND APPROVED THE 2021 2022 ACTIONS. [INDISCERNIBLE] SUMMIT GOOD EVENING THE ADOPTION APPROVAL OF THE 2021 2022.

[INDISCERNIBLE] I HAVE A FEW SLIDES FOR YOU.

THERE IN FRONT OF YOU TO REFERENCE I JUST WANT TO CALL OUT AS WE CLOSE OUT THE YEAR SURE TO LOOK AT THE CERTIFICATION TYPE IT IS A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION AND YOU

[01:55:02]

AND THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES THIS SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE BIG PICTURE OF THE REVENUES THAT OCCURRED IN 2021 AND 2022 AND THE EXPENDITURES ON THE NEXT FLIGHT.

HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT IN THAT PARTICULAR YEAR.

AND THEN A COMPARISON OF THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS ON THE LEFT SIDE AND HOW THE MONEY WAS SPENT AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS UNRESTRICTED AND RESTRICTED FUNDS AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT 81 PERCENT OF THE FUNDING LAST YEAR WAS SPENT ON ? A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR SCHOOL YEAR BUDGET THIS SPENT ON STAFFING. HOW DOES EACH FUND LOOK AT THE END OF THE YEAR? YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ENDED AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GENERAL FUND BALANCES AS WELL.

AND THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF MOST OF THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE AND YOU CAN SEE THE BALANCES FOR EACH ONE.

AND AS YOU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER YOU TALKED ABOUT BUDGET INVESTMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR THAT IT IS RECOGNIZED SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THROUGH YOUR WORK WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE 4 ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND 5 AND A HALF PERCENT SALARY INCREASE FOR THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR AND THE COST INCREASES AND OTHER ONGOING COSTS IN THOSE AGREEMENTS AND THAT THROUGH YOUR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THESE INVESTMENTS THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ONGOING FUNDS AVAILABLE AS WE MOVE FORWARD SO CONTINUE TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND BE CAUTIOUS REGARDING OUR BUDGETING INTO THE FUTURE AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR US AT A FUTURE MEETING WE WILL BE PRESENTING SOME BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS AND ARE EXPANDING OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM AND IT WAS RECENTLY ADOPTED 6.8 MILLION DOLLARS.

WE ARE PRESENTING INFORMATION RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND ALSO WITH THE NEWLY STATE ADOPTED BUDGET EACH RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND 6.6 MILLION I NEED TO CALL OUT THAT THAT IS ONE TIME MONEY SO WE HAVE A TIME TO SPEND THAT ONE TIME MONEY AND ALSO AN ADDITIONAL $14.6 MILLION FOR LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY ALL RELATED TO LEARNING RECOVERY EFFORTS.

AND ALSO THE DISTRICT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR WILL BE AUDITING BOOKS AND THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU IN DECEMBER AND YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE THERE AND ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE. [INDISCERNIBLE] ACTIONS?

>> THANK YOU MR. YOUNG. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLEAR AND I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT AND GET CONFIRMATION BECAUSE I LOVE READING THESE REPORTS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THE REPORT ATTACHED AS PAGE 10 AND THE UNAUDITED ACTUALS AND 21 THE ADOPTED BUDGET AND THE PROJECTED BUDGET AND IF I AM READING THIS RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT OUR REVENUES WE GOT 44 MILLION IN RESTRICTED AND A LOT OF THAT WITH STATE AND FEDERAL MONEY. OUR ADOPTED BUDGET THIS COMING YEAR HAS A REJECTION OF 7 MILLION AND IN 23 AND 24 IT'S A REDUCTION OF 18 MILLION FROM THIS YEAR THE ONLY THING THAT IS BALANCING US IS THE PROJECTED UNRESTRICTED WHICH IS POTENTIALLY STUDENT GROWTH SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS I NOTICED WHICH CAUSED ME MORE CONCERNED WHEN I TALK ABOUT, PEOPLE ARE LIKE YOU HAVE ALL THIS MONEY AND YES BUT DO YOU NOT SEE THE RED? THAT OUR RESTRICTED AND ARE ADOPTED BUDGET IS DEFICIT SPENDING BY ALMOST $25 MILLION

[02:00:03]

IS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM US. >> THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT IN TOTO SINCE THE PANDEMIC AND OTHER FUNDS RECEIVED ALMOST $44.8 MILLION TO HELP US NAVIGATE AND INTO THE FUTURE AND AS WE START SPENDING THAT I'M BUDGETING THAT ONE TIME MONEY WE WILL SEE SOME DEFINITE ? DEFICIT SPENDING AND THE GOOD NEWS AND THAT'S THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY YOU WILL SEE THROUGH THESE REPORTS AND YOUR ACTIONS WE WILL NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS AND MONITOR ? AS THOSE ONE TIME MONIES ARE DONE BUT

ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME MONEY >> AND BEING VERY MINDFUL THAT IN OUR ADOPTED BUDGET WE ARE DEFICIT SPENDING.

AND DEFICIT SPENDING, THAT'S WHAT GOT NATOMAS TO HAVE THE COUNTY HAVE OVERSIGHT MANY YEARS AGO SWITCH HAS HAD TO REALIGN AND NOT MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE DEFICIT SPENDING BECAUSE THAT THREE PERCENT THAT MONEY IN THE RESERVE KEEP SHRINKING SO I APPRECIATE THE PROJECTED BUTTON DOES ? BUDGET DOES TRY TO ALIGN THAT THERE STILL IS DEFICIT SPENDING SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR.

WILL YOU GET THIS SPEAK THIS LANGUAGE, OTHERS UNDERSTAND IS THERE LOOKING AT IT, WE ARE GETTING THIS MONEY WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL THAT THE ONE TIME MONEY IS GOING AWAY AND THAT ONGOING COST HAS TO BE LOOKED AT THAT'S RIGHT GO TO THE CCL IN A WHAT BUDGET PROGRAMS ARE WORKING AND HOW ARE WE MAXIMIZING BENEFITING OUR STUDENTS IN SUCCESS AND IF NOBODY HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I CAN TALK ? IN UNAUDITED ACTUALS.

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
