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

[00:10:27]

>>> GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. SUPERINTENDENT AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. OUR EXECUTIVE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYONE THIS EVENING.

WE ARE EXCITED FOR THE 2023/24 SCHOOL YEAR, IT IS GREAT TO SEE OUR EMPLOYEE, STAFF AND STUDENTS AROUND OUR SCHOOLS.

LEADERSHIP RECENTLY ATTENDED A 97TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE AS WELL AS THE VERY FIRST WOMAN'S CONFERENCE.

THE CONFERENCES WERE INVOLVE INFORMATIVE AND ENAVAILABLING FILLED WITH LEEK LONG EVENTS WITH NEARLY 1,900 DELEGATES IN ATEEN IT'S TEN DEES. OUR, BOARD PARTICIPATED IN EDUCATION DAYS OF INFORMATIVE WORKSHOPS AND PARTICIPATED IN CLASSES ON A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS.

IT'S AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. WE MET WITH ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT JAIL AND HER TEAM AND SHARED INFORMATION ON WORKSHOPS. WE ATTENDED AT CONFERENCE THAT CAN BRING MORE PROFESSIONALAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES WHICH WE HOPE WILL INCLUDE HYBRID AND MORE TARRED CLASSES GEARED TOWARD OUR DIFFERENT MEMBER CLASSIFICATIONS AS WE HOPE THIS WILL HELP CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN THEIR ONE PERCENT. AS OF TODAY ONLY 37 CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES HAVE COMPLETED THEIR ONE PERCENT.

DURING THE MEETING, WE WERE GIVEN THE CONCEPT OF A LENDING LIBRARY WHERE CLASSIFIED STAFF COULD CHECK OUT A CHROMEBOOK ON A CASE BY CASE NEED. WE HOPE THIS TAKES US A STEP CLOSER IN BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIED OUR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES FACE SO THEY ARE ABLE TO COMPLETE MAN DATED TRAININGS, HYBRID PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES AND EVEN BE ABLE TO CHECK THEIR E-MAILS AND RECEIVE UP TO DATE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS. I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING AT ESY SUMMER SCHOOL WHERE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH OUR DEDICATED AND HARD WORKING CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES.

WITNESSING THEIR UNWAIVERING COMMUNITY COMMITMENT AND DILIGENCE TOWARD OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WAS TRULY AN INSPIRATION. CSC AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET RALPH MESA REGARDING THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND THE POSITIVE IMPACT HE'S MADE IN THAT DEPARTMENTS. SO KUDOS TO MR. MESA AND HIS TEAM. AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE, COVID IS STILL ACTIVE AND IMPACTING OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF.

CSCA WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT THE MOU FOR COVID THAT WAS SHARED WITH OUR LABOR REP WITH NATOMAS UNIFIED LAST FEBRUARY.

MANY OF OUR FELLOW CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES CONTINUE TO GET SICK ON THE JOB AND RINK OUR THEIR SICK LEAVE WHEREAS TEACHERS ARE PROTECTED. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE THE DISTRICT TO LOOK AT THE BLACK BLACKOUT SECTION ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONVERSATION FOR THE LAST YEAR IN OUR HUMAN RESOURCES COLLABORATION MEETINGS.

FOR EXAMPLE, A FOOD SERVICES WORKER TO MAKE LESS MONEY THAN A FOOD SERVICES ONE EMPLOYEE. DURING THE LAST NEGOTIATIONS IT WAS CSCA'S UNDERSTAND THAT THE BLACKOUTS WOULD BE REMOVE BUT THEY WERE NOT. IN CONCLUSION, CSSCA ASKS THAT WE CONTINUE TO FORESTER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PRIORITIZING THE WELL-BEING AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OF OUR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES BY PROVIDING THEM THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND TOOLS SUCH AS A CHROMEBOOK SO WE CAN ENSURE THEY CONTINUE TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT TO OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS AND THE WIDER COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A WONDERFUL

23/24 SCHOOL YEAR. >> THANK YOU.

[XI.b. Natomas Teachers Association (NTA)]

[00:15:03]

FIRST OFF I WANT TO EXPRESS 15 I'VE HEARD FROM TEACHERS SO FAR THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, MOSTLY POSITIVE AND SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HAPPY TO SEE OUR NEW SUPERINTENDENT OUT AND ASSAULT AND BATTERY AND SO MANY OF YOU OUT AND ABOUT ON CAMPUSES. JUST KIND OF HELPED CREATE A POSITIVE START TO THE YEAR SO I WANT TO SAY WE APPRECIATED THAT.

VALENTINO, ON BEHALF OF THE EDUCATOR OF NATOMAS, I JUST REALLY WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE BOARD.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW YET HOW MUCH WE VALUE STUDENT VOICE IN THE SPACE BUT WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE AND FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAUGHT YOU WHO MAY BE SITTING BEHIND ME, I'VE HEARD REALLY AMAZING THINGS. SO I WANT TO -- CAN'T WAIT THE HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE HERE. SO I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR MISSING THE LAST MEETIN TO HAVE SUMMER, I KNOW IT'S VERY RARE FOR ME NOT TO BE HERE BUT I WAS AT UCLA WITH OUR TEACHERS AT NATOMAS HIGH SCHOOL AND WE SPENT A FULL FOUR DAYS WITH GROUPS LIKE THE UCLA CENTER FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLING, THE S TACK TEAM FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THEY'RE BASED OUT OF ALAMEDA AND A VARIETY OF SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLTEACHERS AND LEADERS.

ADMINISTRATORS, ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE STATE.

WHAT I LEARNED MORE THAN ANYTHING IS THAT COMMUNITY SCHOOL ARE HARD TO DEFINE BE WHEN YOU SEE THE RESULTS THERE NO ADULT THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN NATOMAS IS THE RIGHT THING. THAWIER GOING TO BE IDENTIFYING ISSUE THAT IS CREATE BARRIERS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND BEING ABLE THE ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES AND BUILDING SUPPORTS AND BRINGING OUR COMMUNITY ASSETS TO THE TABLE IS GOING TO BE TRANSFORMATIONAL. I ALSO WANT THE LET YOU KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE EARLY ON THIS THIS PROCESS, NATOMAS UNIFIED AND NTA ARE GETTING ARE RECOGNIZED AT STATE WIDE LEADERS ACROSS THE STATE IN COMMUNITY SCHOOL CIRCLINGS.

IT SEEMS KIND OF ODD BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE A LOT AT THIS POINT AND WE'RE JUST STARTING OUT BUT THE ENACT WE HAVE COME TO THE TABLE AND BARGAINED AND TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK AND WE ARE FOLLOWING THE PILLAR OF SHARED LEADERSHIP HAS REALLY DRAWN ATTENTION AND WE'RE GETTING RECOGNITION THAT AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT BUT I KNOW WE ARE ACROSS THE STATE GETTING RECOGNITION FOR THE WORK WE'RE DOING. SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH THAT. TOM AND AJ AND I HAVE ALREADY MET AND WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE EXCITING THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IN OUR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, COORDINATOR JOB JUST POSTED. AND I'M SOUP CENTER EXCITED TO THE SCENE WHO ALIES FOR THAT AND HOW THAT WORKS OUT.

OWNERSHIP WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO OUR TEACHERS, ALONG WITH OPENING A NEW SCHOOL BUT TWO OF THEM WILL BE RECEIVING A GRANT THIS MONTH OF OVER $18,000 FROM THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION INSTITUTE FOR TEACHING. THEY SUBMITTED THE GRANT TO DISCRETE A BILITERACY FOCUSED WORKSHOP FOR EQUITY SO THEY'RE GETTING $18,275 FROM CTA. AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO GO OVER THERE AND SEE WHAT THAT IT'S THIS GRANT IS GOT GOING TO PROVIDE. IT'S GOING TO BE A VARIETY OF MATERIALS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO WORK WITH STUDENT PLAY AND HOW PLAY DEVELOPS LITERACY AND THEY'LL ALSO BE INCLUDING PARENTS. SO THEY CAN -- THESE ARE THEIR WORDS BUT THEY'RE GOING TO USE PLAY TO SUPPORT LITERACY SO I'LL GLAD THAT CTA CAN BRING THIS TO THEM.

IT'S REALLY -- I DON'T HAVE THE WORD TOSS TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME TO RECOMMEND TEACHERS WHO ARE BUILDING THESE COMMUNITY CENTERS AT THEIR SITES AND BE PART OF THAT ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS EFFORT EDUCATORS IN THAT WAY.

SO EVERY YEAR IN EDUCATION IS BEYOND BUSY.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK HERE IN NATOMAS AND THERE ARE MANY THINGS WE CAN FINE-TUNE AND WE'RE PREPARED TO SHARE AND DISCUSS AND BUILD THOSE THINGS, JUST NOT HERE.

SO LAST THING I WANTED TO IS WELCOME ALL OF OUR NEW OPERATIONS. I'VE MET WITH I'M DID THE GOING TO SAY SOMEWHERE AROUND 90 AND LGA INVITED ME TO GO OVER THERE AND MEET THEIR TEACHERS TOO. AND I'M REALLY HOPING WE CAN CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL AND SUPPORTED AND SEE ALL THAT TRANSFERRED TO THEIR STUDENTS.

IS I'M EXCITED TO START THE YEAR AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WORK

THAT WE HAVE TO DO. >> THANK YOU.

I'M EXCITED FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC INSIGHTS AS I GO ABOUT MY PUBLIC SERVICE HERE.

SO MY DAUGHTER STARTED KINDERGARTEN THIS YEAR AND AS YOU KNOW IT WAS A LOT TOUGHER FOR ME THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. SHE DIDN'T SEEM PARTICULARLY PHASED BY IT BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PARENT ENCOURAGING ME TO SLOWLYING BACK AWAY INTEREST THE GATE AND LET HER GO OFF ABOUT HER POSSESSION CAREER. BUT I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO OUR TEACHERS WHO ARE WORKING VERY HARD AS WE TRANSITION BACK INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THANKS FOR ALL THE PARENTS FOR WHAT I THINK HAS BEEN A SMOOTH TRANSITION.

ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SPECIALOUT SHOUT TO WILL HO DGE AND I THEY THINK THEY'RE DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH ENGAGEMENTS AND HOW WELCOMING THEY'VE BEEN TO ALL PARENTS.

THEY GAVE PEOPLE A PEEK AS HOW THEY INSTRUCT AND ENGAGE OUR BRIGHTEST MINDERS AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE MY CHILD LITERALLY BEGGING TO GO TO SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST GOT UP HERE I DIDN'T HAVE A CHILD IN SCHOOL AND WE CAN WATCH AND LEARN AND LIVE THROUGH PEOPLE'S EYES SOMETIMES BUT THINGS HIT DIFFERENT WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD IN SCHOOL. SO I JUST WANTED TO TELL THE PUBLIC AS A PARENT THAT I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

IT HITS DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD IN SCHOOL, SO AS I CONTINUE TO GROW AS A PARENT AND A PUBLIC SERVANT, EXCITED TOE WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY THIS YEAR THROUGH A NEW LENS AND I'M HOPING THAT WE HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR AND MY DOOR IS OPEN TO YOU. THANK YOU.

>> TRUSTEE HARDEN? >> JUST WANT TO WELCOME EVERYBODY BACK. VALENTINO I REMEMBER WALKING INTO THAT ETHNIC STUDIES SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SEE CICI SAYING THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD SO I LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THAT YOU'RE GOING TOES BRING TO THE TABLE.

FIRST TWO DAYS BACK TO SCHOOL WAS AMAZING BEING ON THOSE SITES AND THE CAMPUSES AND SEEING THE ENJOYMENT AND THE STUDENTS EYES AND THE FRESHNESS OF THE PARENTS.

IT WAS TRULY REFRESHING ENGAGEMENT.

I FEEL THE COMMUNITY AND THE UNITY COMING TOGETHER.

I'M LOOKING SO FORWARD TO THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

TODAY ACED I HAD A CHANCE TO GO TO TWO HIGH SCHOOLS AND I MUST SAY OUR STAFF IS DOING A FABULOUS JOB FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP TO THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I WANT TO GIVE A SPERMOUT SHOUT TO A LOCAL PASTOR, PASTOR TREY EVERETT. HE PRAYED AT ALL OF OUR SCHOOL SITES AROUND OUR COMMUNITY, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS CAME OUT, IT'S A BLESSING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS SCHOOL YEAR. THANK YOU.

>> I HAVE SIMILAR COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO WHAT MY COLLEAGUES SHARED RELATED TO THE START OF SCHOOLS AND A HOW LONG WELCOME TO YOU, THEINO. I ALSO REMEMBER VISITING THAT ON THE PART NICK STUDIES CLASS. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT WAS THE PLACE TO BE, THAT WE ALL GOT TO SEE THE EPITOME OF OUR FUTURE LEADERS IN OUR CLASSROOMS SO THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF THERE.

PLEASE REACH OUT TO US IF WE CAN EVER BE OF HELP AND I WILL OFFER TO BE AS HELPFUL AS I CAN BE. I WANTED TO FIRST CONGRATULATE EVERYONE WHO HELP PUT TOGETHER SUMMER SCHOOL FOR 2023.

[00:25:02]

AND EVERY PARENT AND TOOK THE TIME TO TAKE THEIR STUDENTS TO THOSE PROGRAMS. ALSO WANTED TO THANK THE HIGH SCHOOL,B PROGRAM FOR REALLY JUST GREAT WELCOME PICNIC, I WILL NEVER SAY NO TO A PICNIC THAT I CAN ATTEND, AND IT WAS GREAT TO MEET FAMILIES THERE WHO AS FOLKS MIGHT KNOW, WE HAVE AMERICAN LEAGUE SCHOOL IN SOUTH NATOMAS, WAS GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT FOR MEETING A LOT OF THE STANDARDS FOR HAVING AN IB PROGRAM SO IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE HOW THOSE THINGS CAN WORK ACROSS THE DISTRICT. WE GOT A CHANCE TO BE OUT IN THE SUN. WE SURVIVED THE SUN AND AGAIN MEET PEOPLE. I HAD A CHANCE TO MEETING THE [INDISCERNIBLE] SCHOOL SO THANK YOU TO CHIEF OF STAFF FOR ALLOWING ME TO SEE WHAT IS THE FIRST NEW SCHOOL BEING OPENED IN OUR DISTRICT IN QUITE A WHILE. BUILDING ABLE TO SEE THE FACILITIES, BEING ABLE TO SEE WHERE DIFFERENT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND TAKING POLICE STATION ACROSS THE ENTIRE SCHOOL SITE. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CURRENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS LISTED IN ON A PLAQUE IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK A PICTURE, SENT IT TO MY FAMILY AND PARENTS AND THEY WERE REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL SINCE OUR WHOLE FAMILY WENT THROUGH OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM HERE AND A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FAMILY FOR ADVOCATING FOR YEARS ALONG WITH COUNTLESS OTHERS TO GET THAT FIRST FULL IMMERSION SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT. MY LAST THING THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS BEING ABLE TO VISIT A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS CLOSEST TO WHERE I LIVE FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL.

THAT WAS AMERICAN LEAGUE SCHOOL. TWO RIVERS ELEMENTARY AND LEEWARD GREEN ACADEMY, BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ENERGY OF THE STUDENTS. I THINK THEY HAD A PHYSICAL RED CARPET SO YOU HAD ALL THE STUDENTS COMING IN, FEELING REALLY GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. I LIKE TO THINK I WAS ABLE TO HELP A COUPLE OF STUDENTS WHETHER THEY WERE SLEEPY OR NERVOUS TO CHEER THEM UP AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE PARENTAL IS VALUED AND CHERISHED. BUT THAT CONCLUDES MY BOARD

REPORT. >> ATTENDING THE PICNIC WITH NOEL. I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT HE ATE BUT WE WERE TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN HEALTHY FOOD AND NOT HEALTHY FOOD BUT IT WAS NICE BEING OUT THERE AND IT WAS A NICE EVENING FOR THE PARENTS OUT THERE. I WENT -- YOU KNOW, BACK TO SCHOOL IS ALWAYS AN AMAZING TIME OF THE YEAR BECAUSE MANY PARENT LIKE TRUSTEE GRANT WHO HAVE KIDS WHO ARE STARTING SCHOOL, IT'S FUN WATCHING THOSE PARENTS, WHICH ONES ARE CRYING AND WHICH ONES AREN'T AND WHICH ONES ARE LIKE, HERE, TAKE THEM, LEAVE AND ONES THAT STAY THERE. BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT TIME BECAUSE IT'S NEW -- IT'S A NEW BEGINNING, IT'S A NEW START FOR A LOT OF KIDS AND MY HOPE IS THAT THE EXCITEMENT THAT THOSE KIDS EXPRESS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND I KNOW THAT OUR TEACHERS WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS, THEY KEEP THEM ENGAGED AND FEELING SUCCESSFUL, SO TEACHERS, I HOPE YOU HAVE A REALLY GREAT YEAR WITH YOUR BRAND NEW COHORT OF KIDS. AND IT WAS EXCITING BEING AT THE SCHOOL ON THE FIRST DAY. I WATCHED -- I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS THAT THERE'S SUCH A DIVERSITY OF STUDENTS AT THAT SCHOOL SITE. THERE WERE NON-SPANISH SPEAKERS AND JUST WATCHING THEIR FACES AS THEY MET THEIR TEACHER WHO ONLY SPOKE IN SPANISH AND THE TEACHERS WERE TRYING TO GET THEM TO POINT -- SHOW THEM WHERE THEIR NAME WAS OR SHOW THEM HOW TO DO -- INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR HAND, DOING FIRST BUMPS BUT THE KIDS SEEMED UNFAZED. MOST OF THEM DID.

IT WAS THE PARENTS WHO ARE AGAIN TREPIDATION, BECAUSE I'M LEAVING MY CHILD IN THIS CLASSROOM AND HOW WILL YOU NOAH THEY WANTED?

[00:30:02]

[XI.e. Superintendent's Report]

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.

>> GOOD EVENING. I'M ALSO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. ONE TO HAVE FIRST THINGS I GOT TO DO BUT ATTEND THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE AND WELCOME ALL OF OUR LEADERS BACK. THEY WERE SOME OF THE FIRST PEOPLE BACK ON THE CAMPUS. I SHARED ABOUT MYSELF WITH THEM AND TALKED ABOUT THE ROLE OF VISION AND SYSTEMS AND SOULTURE AND SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS AND SO IT WAS GREAT TO CAN I BE KICK OFF WITH THE LEADERS THAT WAY. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO THE BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND MET QUITE A FEW FAMILIES. I LOVEDDED THAT THE FARMERS MARK MARKET WAS THERE. I ALSO WAS ABLE TO VISIT OUR SCHOOLS AND I WENT TO WEST LAKE CHARTER MP3, NATOMAS CHARTER AND STAR ACT AND WAS ABLE TO MEET OUR CHARTER LEADERS AND PARTNERING. I WAS ABLE TO GREET OUR NEW NATOMAS EMPLOYEES AND SO IT WAS NICE TO WELCOME THEM BACK TO SCHOOL. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO WELCOME OUR SCHOOL SECRETARIES AND THANK THEM FOR THE WORK THEY DO BECAUSE THEY'RE THE FIST FACE THEY SEE WHEN PEOPLE COME INTO AREOSTYLES. I ALSO LAST WEEK WAS ABLE TOE MAKE IT TO EVERY SCHOOL SITE AND THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR ME AND VERY IMPORTANT TO DO, AND SO SOME OF THE SCHOOL SITES WHIP I GOT THERE THE STUDENTS WEREN'T THERE YET BUT THE TEACHERS AND STAFF WERE AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE EXCITEMENT ON EVERYBODY'S FACE, EXCITED TO BE BACK, TEACHERS PREPARING, TELLING ME ABOUT SUCCESSES THEY HAD LAST YEAR, THINGS THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THEM FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WORK WITH OUR STUDENTS EVERY DAY AND MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

ALSO SEEING OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF GETTING THE SCHOOL SITES READY SO WE WOULD HAVE A WELCOMING VIRAL FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES. MY BEST PART OF OF COURSE WAS THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL OF INTERACTING WITH THE STUDENTS.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BY THERE THE FIRST DAY AND WHEN OUT OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS WAS GOING IN WHERE THE STUDENTS WAS EATING BREAKFAST AND A LITTLE BOY WAS EATING SOUTHEASTERLY CEREAL AND HIS MOM SAID HE'S NEVER SEEN A SPORK BEFORE SO IT'S THE CUTE THINGS THEY GOVERNOR AND I LOVED BEING AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES, TALKING WITH STUDENTS ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO THEM.

SO JUST REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BRING AND PARTICIPATING IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AND GETTING OUT AND MEETING PEOPLE, SO IT'S BEEN A GREAT YEAR SO FAR.

[XII. CONSENT ITEMS]

[XIII.a. Summer Programs Update with Context Slides]

>> THANK YOU PRESIDENT. I'M GOING TO ASK MY COLLEAGUE STEVEN FONG TO PRESENT FOR US. WITH MR. FONG.

[00:35:10]

>> GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEES, STUDENT STUDENT COLLEAGUES AND COMMUNITY. I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN HOLD THIS CLOSE TORE MYSELF. AS A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MY NAME IS STEVEN FONG AND IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE PART OF THE SUMMER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS DATING BACK THE LAST WINTER I'M HERE TO SHARE SOME BRIEF CONTEXT SLIDES AND WE HAVE A BOARD REPORT THAT'S ATTACHED WITH MORE DETAILFUL I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERY SLIDE WORD FOR WORD.

THE GOAL IS TO GIVE FOLKS THE FLAVOR OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROGRAMS WE OFFER. SOD PURPOSES OF SUMMER COOL SCHOOL ARE MANY AND ACROSS THE VARIOUS PROGRAM THAT IS WE OFFERED ALL OF THEM TOUCHED UPON ONE OR MORE OF THESE THINGS, WHETHER YOU LOOK AT THE PROGRAM FOR OUR EARLIEST LEARNERS UP TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ARE HERE FOR CREDIT: OPPORTUNITIES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN AND YOU SEE WORDS LIKE ENRICHMENT, INDIVIDUALS FOR PRETENSION AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD THOSE WILL BE THE PILLARS THAT WE'LL FOUNDATION ON FOR FUTURE YEAR PROGRAMS. WE DO WANT TO POINT OUT WHERE YOU LOOK AT THE WHY OF SUMMER SCHOOL WE LOOK AT THE THEORY OF ACTION AND WE HIGHLIGHT SYSTEMIC ACCESS AND SUPPORT AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE KEY RECORD WORDS ON THE SLIDE WE LOOK AT THE SUPPORT TO GET THEM THERE AND SUMMER PROGRAMS CAN HELP PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THAT PROCESS. WE KNOW THAT JUST BECAUSE MAY COMES THERE ARE STILL NEEDS STUDENTS HAVE AND THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUE PUSHING THEM FORWARD INTO THE NEXT YEAR. SO HERE YOU CAN SEE BY PROGRAM TYPE THE RAIN OF PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED AND AND JUST WANT THE HIGHLIGHT THAT ONE OF THE GOALS OF THIS PAST YEAR SUMMER WAS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SERVED AND ALSO SERVE STUDENTS AT ALL OUR SCHOOL SITES.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR SMEARIER PRIORITY WAS THAT EVERY SCHOOL WILL HAVE PROGRAMS FOR STUDENT ASKS WE DID REACH THAT GOALFUL AT SOME OF OUR SCHOOL WE HAD MULTIPLE PROGRAM SERVING MULTIPLE NEEDS SO HERE FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE IT SAYS LEARNING RECOVERY AND INTERVENTION OPPORTUNITIES THOSE WERE THE DIVERSITY OF PROGRAMS THAT OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND K EIGHT SCHOOL SO THAT REPRESENT AS NUMBER OF PROGRAM THIS IS THAT SINGLE BULLET. YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR NUMBER WAS ALMOST 2800, AND WHEN I WAS LOOKING BACK EARLIER AT THE PROJECTION WE HAD GOING BACK AS FAR AS I THINK MID SPRINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT 2,903,000 SO REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WE ALMOST HIT THAT MARK. AND OVER ALL WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT NUMBER, 2800 WHERE WE'RE REPRESENTING ROUGHLY 25 PERCENT OF OUR DISTRICT AND OPERATING WITH A SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICT ACROSS THE SUMMER AND THE GOAL IS TO SERVE AS MANY STUDENTS AS POSSIBLE. AND WITHIN TO THE SCENE PROGRAMS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A FEW THAT WERE BRAND NEW TO US THIS YEAR SO THIS WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS COME FOR THOSE PROGRAMS. SO THE NEXT SERIOUS OF SLIDES WILL BE A INDIVIDUAL SLIDE ABOUT EACH PROGRAM TYPE AND AGAIN IN THE BOARD REPORT THERE'S MORE DETAILED INFORMATION YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS. SO IN A CONTINUING PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN HERE IN THE PAST IS OUR CART READINESS PROGRAM.

REALLY TO PROVIDE THAT EXTRA BOOST BEFORE THEY CAN TO US IN THE FALL AND EXCITED TO HAVE SERVED ALMOST 100 STUDENTS THERE. NEW TYPE OF PROGRAM THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT IN SOME PAST COMMUNINGS AND WILL BE CONTINUING TO HEAR ABOUT IS OUR LIAM PROGRAMS. WESTERN ABLE TO LAUNCH SOME PILOT PROGRAMS LAST YEAR DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR AND BUILD UPON THOSE IN FREE THREE FULL SCALE PROGRAMS, SO EACH OFFERED A LEAGUE PROGRAM.

REALLY KEY TO NOTE FOR THE ELITE PROGRAM IS THAT ACCESS WAS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE DISTRICT SO STUDENT DID NOT NEED TO RESIDE OR HAVE PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED A SCHOOL TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND.

AND NOW THAWIER IN THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR CERTAINLY YOU'LL HEAR YOU BE IT FROM OTHER FOLKS BUT WE'RE EXPANDING THOSE EVEN FURTHER SO IT'S A REALLY EXCITING PIECE OF WORK FOR THE DISTRICT. ENCOMPASSING OUR LARGE RAIN OF PROGRAMS WE'RE TITLING THEY WILL LEARNING RECOVERY INTERVENTION, THOSE WERE THE DIVERSITY PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUR PRINCIPALS AND OTHER SITE LEADERS ORGANIZED FOR OUR ELEMENTARY K EIGHT AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. IS THAT I RANGED IN CONTENT,

[00:40:02]

ONE OF THE OTHER KEY TAKEAWAYS WE HAD IS THE NUMBER OF DAYS A STUDENT IS IN SUMMER SCHOOL IS FINITE AND ONE OR TWO DAYS OF ABSENCE CAN MAKE A BIG DID I FEELS SO BEING ABLE TO DO A CONSISTENT ASSESSMENT IN THE BRING AND AGAIN THIS THE FALL ENSURES THAT WE HAVE THAT DATA FOR ALL STUDENTS AND WE HAVE THAT LONGITUDINAL LOOK, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE LOOKING AT MOVING FORWARD. SO WE CAN SAY IN A POSITIVE MOST OF THE PROGRAMS SHOWED STUDENTS WERE HAVING POSITIVE GROWTH.

THIS WAS A PLACE THAT WE PRIORITIZED.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORKED WITH US. ONE BEING FREEDOM SCHOOLS AND THIS THE DEVELOPMENT CENTER HAS BEEN HERE AT THE BOARD AND SHARED IS THEIR WORK WITH PROGRAMS. THEY WERE ABLE THE PROVIDE THE FREEDOM SCHOOLS PROGRAM AT BANTAM CREEK AND IT OVERLAPPED WITH OUR LEAP PROGRAM THERE AND CONTINUED BEYOND INTO JULY. WE DID WANT TO NOTE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO APARTMENT BUILDING PARTNER WITH THEM TO LOOK AT LONGITUDINAL LOOK AT STUDENTS FROM SPRING TO FALL BECAUSE WE FOUND IN THE SUMMER SOME TECHNICAL ISSUE GOT IN THE WAY OF SEE STAG POST ASSESSMENT SO WE HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM. MOE SACK OR THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND CURIOSITY WAS AT PROGRAM THAT CONTINUED AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HATCHES AT MO SACK AND THE STUDENTS ATTEND AT THE SITE AND WE MAKE THOSE SPACES AVAILABLE.

WE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT OUR ENGLISH LEARN E AND PARTICULARLY OUR NEWCOMERS, THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE RECENTLY ARRIVING IN THE UNITED STATES THAT NEED THAT HELP AND WE HAD ABOUT 32 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROGRAM.

REALLY EXCITING PROGRAM THAT IS SMALL IN SIZE BUT PRETTY UNIQUE IS THE BIKE TECH SUMMER CAMP AND STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STAFF COME FOR WITH TWO WEEKS IN THE SUMMER, BUILD A BIKE, LEARN HOW TO CONSTRUCT IT AND THEY GET TO KEEP THAT BIKE MOVING FORWARD AND IT HAPPENS -- AND IT'S TARGETING MOORE STUDENTINGS. ANOTHER SMALL PROGRAM THAT'S IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ORGANIZATION IS I VIBE AND IT'S TARGET OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL LOOKING AT CONFIDENCE AND INSTILLING THE AT TRIBUTES THAT WILL HELP PROPEL THEM INTO THE YEAR AND YOU CAN SEE THE INTERESTING MASK PROJECT.

OUR EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAM IS SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED AND IT'S LOCATED AT TWO OF OUR CAMPUSES AT NATOMA HIGH AND IT IS THE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES THE REALLY IMPORTANT SERVICES TO STUDENTS WITH IEPS AND ALIGNS THEM OVER THE SUMMER SO IS THAT STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE AND AS YOU HEARD EARLIER SOME FANTASTIC CAMPS OF EDUCATION THERE.

AND ENCOMPASSING A WIDE VARIETY OF COURSE WORK, WE HAVE PROGRAMS AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS COMING FOR CREDIT RECOVERY AS WELL AS FOR ORIGINAL CREDITS BUT TAKING A CLASS FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT MAY BE TO MAKE MORE ROOM IN THEIR SCHEDULE TO TAKE THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF COURSE WORK THEY'RE SEEKING OR TO ADVANCE THEMES IN A PARTICULAR AREA AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE VERY LARGE LEVERS OF MILES PER HOUR IN THOSE PROGRAMS. YOU CAN SEE WE HAD OVER 1300 STUDENTS PARTNER AND I BELIEVE ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL CREDITS EXCEEDED 13,000.

AND THAT'S A FANTASTIC THING TO THE SCENE BECAUSE WE KNOW IN SOME CASES SOME STUDENTS ARE ACCELERATING BUT SOME STUDENTS CAN USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK ON TRACK MOVING INTO THEIR JUNIOR OR SENIOR YEAR TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE THE COURSE WORK THAT IS MOST INTERESTING TO THEM AND STAY ON PACE FOR GRADUATION. YOU CAN SEE OUR HISTORICAL TEAM

[00:45:05]

COVERAGEND STRATEGY ARE YOU SO. >>> AND RELATIVE TO WHERE WE WERE PRE-PANDEMIC A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE HERE PARTICIPATING DURING OUR SUMMERS.

AND I WOULD ADD THERE'S PROBABLY STILL ROOM FOR GROWTH BUT WE CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE SUSPECT OPPORTUNITIES SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE'VE HIT OUR CAP. SUMMER AT CITY HALL WE HAVE A CELEBRITY IN THE ROOM. IVELY NOTE THAT OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER IS HERE ON THE SLIDE AND THAT'S AN AMAZING PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS LEARN AND PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND BE PROVIDED WITH OTHER ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND A SIMILAR COHORT PROGRAM IS OUR YOUTH WORK FORCE PROGRAM WHERE STUDENT STUDENTS COME TOGETHER FOR A WEEK AND LEARN HOW TO INTERVIEW, BUILD RESUMÉS. THERE'S A TIE TYING WORKSHOP AND THEY ARE HELPED AND SUPPORTED INTO OBTAINING INTERNSHIP OR A SUMMER JOB. AND AS ALWAYS WE SOLICITED FEEDBACK, THERE'S MORE INFORMATION INSIDE THE BOARD REPORT BUT JUST BROADLY WE FOUNDER THAT THE FAMILIES AND THE STAFF THAT RESPONDED HAD A GENERALLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, THEY ENJOYED TEACHING OR PARTICIPATING AND THEY ENJOYED WHAT THEY FELT THEIR STUDENTS RECEIVED.

STUDENTS THEIR HONEST FEEDBACK WAS LESS RESOUNDING IN TERMS OF FORTY FIVES BUT VERY FEW RATED A ONE OR TWO.

AND WE KNOW FOR SUMMER SCHOOL THERE'S PEOPLE ARE THERE FOR IMPORTANT REASONS. SO I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T JUST BRIEFLY SAY THAT SUMMER SCHOOL TAKES A TON OF PEOPLE AND OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF, OUR TEACHING STAFF, OUR SCHOOL LEADERS, OUR TRANSPORTATION STAFF, OUR NUTRITION STAFF, THE STORY LEADERS TO MY LEFT AND RIGHT, EVERYONE A PLAYED AN INTEGRAL ROLE TO HAVE 2800 PEOPLE, 400 EMPLOYEES ALL COALESCING TO PUT ON THE PROGRAM IS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

THERE'S CERTAINLY THINGS WE LEARNED THAT WE CAN DO BETTER BUT IT'S A FBI EXAMPLE OF FOLKS WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD TO PROVIDE STUDENTS INUP AND JULY WHICH IS PEOPLE'S TIME OFF SO WE APPRECIATE THAT WORK. SO HAPPY TO TAKE MY ANY QUESTIONS THERE MINION SUMMER SCHOOL.

>> MORE OF A STATEMENT. I'M GLAD TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT RECOVERY. WE HAD SOME TOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES THE LAST COUPLE YEARS THAT LED TO A LOT OF LEARNING DESCRIPTION. THE NUMBER IS HIGH AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT NUMBER IS HIGH BUT LOOKING TO HOPEFULLY LOWER THAT NUMBER, SO I THINK ALL AROUND GRATE WORK AND I THINK THIS IS GREAT THAT WE CAN OFFER THESE

THINGS TO THE COMMUNITY. >> I HAVE A QUESTION AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT ASKING SOONER. AND I POSSIBLY COULD HAVE COULD HAVE MYTHED IT. GOING BACK TO THE FREEDOM SCHOOLS CAN YOU BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE SEEING ABOUT THE TECHNICAL PORTION THAT MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAT THEIR

ASSESSMENTS. >> THE PLAN WAS TO USE OUR SOFTWARE CALLED I READY AND I'M STILL MYSELF LEARNING THE BACK END BUT ESSENTIALLY WHEN THE STUDENTS WENT TO GO IN AND TAKE THE ASSESSMENT IT WASN'T THE RIGHT ASSESSMENT THAT WAS LOADING FOR THEM SO THEY WERE ABLE THE ENGAGE IN THAT ASSESSMENT BUT IT WASN'T THE INTERPLEDDED ONE AND THE THE TIME ALLOTTED WASN'T APPROPRIATE TO THAT ONE THAT LOADED FOR THEM SO WE WOULD NOT WANT THE REPRESENT THE RESULTS AS BEING ACCURATE SEW WHEN WE'RE PARTNERING WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS OUTSIDE OF IN THE MORNINGSUSD WE NATIONWIDE TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP BETWEEN A PLATFORM THAT MIGHT BE OUTSIDE AND PARTICIPATES THAT ARE NOT EMPLOYEES IN THE DISTRICT ON OUR END AND THEN ALSO AGAIN GOING BACK TO WHAT CAN WE DO IN THE SPRING WHERE ALL OF OUR STUDENT PARTICIPATE, CAN WE DO IN THE FALL BECAUSE WHEN WE GO INTO OUR FALL DIAGNOSTICS AND LOOK ACROSS WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT FOR ALL OF OUR SUMMER PROGRAMS SO BEING ABLE THE IS IT TRUE THE MAGNITUDE OF OUR PROGRAMS ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> THANK YOU. >> .

>> IN BELIEVES YEARS WHEN COURSES WERE OFFERED, AND MAYBE WEEKS OF FOUR, FOUR WEEKS OR SIX WEEKS WE HAD STUDENTS ATTENDING AND YOU KNOW, BUT WHEN WE MODIFIED THAT TO OFFER MORE

[00:50:06]

FEELING LIKE THEY CAN GET -- THEY CAN LEARN WHAT THEY NEED TO LEARN IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND GET THE CREDITS AS OPPOSED TO SPENDING A LOT OF TIME.

SEEMED LIKE THEN GET CREDIT RECOVERY FOR MORE CLASSES THAN

THE LIMITED ONE OR TWO. >> ABSOLUTELY AND IN LOOKING BACK AT PAST MATERIALS THAT PREDATE MY TIME IN THE DISTRICT BUT UNDERSTAND THE INTENTIONALITY I THINK THAT WHAT WAS DONE AND HEAR FROM COURAGES THEY'RE ABLE MUCH MORE ABLE THE ENTICE A STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE IN HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL WHEN THEN SAY CAN YOU MAKE THIS TWO WEEK SECTION, THIS TWO WEEK, IT FITS AROUND FAMILY OBLIGATIONINGS AND VACATION, STUDENTS WHO HAVE SUMMER WORK THAT ARE ABLE TO MAKE THAT TIME FOR TWO WEEKS SO IT SEEMS TO BE A DRIVING FACTOR IN RETAINING

ATTENDANCE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU, APPRECIATE THE REPORT AND ALL THOSE THAT HELPED TO WORK ON THAT REPORT, BECAUSE WE KNOW PUTTING THESE REPORTS TOGETHER, A LOT OF COLLABORATION

[XIII.b. Start of Schools Report 2023-2024 Part 2 with Context Slides]

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS THE START OF SCHOOL REPORT FOR THE 2023/24, PART TWO AND THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT DOUG OR WHO'S ALREADY AT THE PODIUM, I'M

SORRY. >> EXCITED TO BE HERE.

>> YEAH, YOU'RE EXCITED! >> GOOD EVENING.

>> IT'S YOUR SHOW NOW. >> PRESIDENT, SUPERINTENDENT.

SO I'M BARK, PART TWO. A LOT OF REALLY FUN STUFF TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS. AS I ALWAYS START OUT I WANT THE MENTION, STARTER SCHOOLS ISN'T LIKE THE FIRST DAY COMES AND WE'RE DONE. TEAMS ARE STILL MEETING DAILY GOING THROUGH THINGS, REFINING THINGS.

I MEET WITH THE ENROLLMENT TEAM FOR MULTIPLE HOURS EVERY DAY BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING TO GET DOWN TO EVERY LAST STUDENT POSSIBLE TO ATTEND THEIR HOME SCHOOL.

SO THOSE EFFORTS YOU MAY NOT HEAR ABOUT THEM MUCH MORE BECAUSE THINGS ARE STARTING TO FALL INTO PLACE BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT HAPPENS EVEN BEYOND TODAY.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING REALLY HARD.

TONIGHT IS A SNIPPET. IF YOU WANT TO DIVE IN AND LOOK AT THE BOARD REPORT I WILL CAUTION THIS, THE BOARD REPORT WAS PRINTED ON FRIDAY AND SO IT IS OLD NEWS.

AND I'LL POINT MOST OF THOSE THINGS OUT AS WE GO BUT THINGS CHANGE DAILY. THINGS CHAINED SINCE YESTERDAY WHEN I SAID I'M DONE THING THERE WHEN I HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE, AND LIKE ENROLLMENT OR HIRING.

BUTTIVELY UPDATE WHERE I CAN. THE I WANTED THE START OFF WITH SOME FIRST DAY PICTURES AND WE'LL START OFF FIRST WITH [INDISCERNIBLE] SCHOOL AND I% WANT TO POINT OUT AGAIN, THING CHANGING DAILY AS SOON AS I SENT THIS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ICE OFF TODAY FOR THE FINAL FINAL ALL THE FIRST DAY PHOTOS THAT WERE SUBMITTED GOT RELEASED SO I GRABBED A FEW SO EVEN IF YOUR OWN PAINTS THERE'S PICTURES THAT AREN'T IN THERE.

REALLY HAPPY WITH ALL THE FAMILIES THAT SUBMITTED PICTURES. YOU CAN SEE A FEW HERE.

THESE ARE PICTURES -- SOME REALLY NOTEWORTHY MOMENTS.

I PUT A LOT OF PICTUREDS IN HERE BECAUSE IT'S SO POSITIVE BAA I'M GOING TO MOVE THROUGH THEM AT A FAIRLY GOOD CLIP.

EXCITED THAT DEAN WANTS TO BE A MINOR WHEN HE GROWS UP.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY COOL. JUST SOME REALLY GOOD PHOTOGRAPHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, A LOT OF PARENTS.

I THINK WHAT IS THAT TRUSTEE MORA POINTED OUT.

RED CARPETS, SO PRETTY COOL LITTLE TOUCH THERE FOR THE FIRST DAY. THERE WAS A ROPE DROP MOMENT.

TWO RIVERS, THE ROPE DROP KIND OF LIKE YOU WOULD SEE AT DISNEY LAND. THERE'S A VIDEO FLOATING AROUND SOMEWHERE BUT IT WAS PRETTY FUN TO WATCH THAT.

AND WE HAVE SOME RACE FANS OUT THERE.

SO I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ALL THE PEOPLE WE HAVE ADMINISTRATORS OUT AT I EVER SCHOOL ON THE FIRST FEW DAYS AS EXTRA SUPPORT AND I SPECIFICALLIED AND TAKE PICTURES OF INSTRUCTION HAPPENING ON DAY ONE AND THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE.

IT'S NOT HARD THE FIND PICTURES OF TEACHERS TEACHING AT 8:15 ON

[00:55:05]

SO THEY'RE ALREADY GOING ON TO WRITING AND READING AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT OUT THERE. A LOT OF REALLY HAPPY FACES AND A LOT OF THESE LITTLE MOMENTS WITH THE SETUP BACKDROPS.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT INTERCOM INTELLIGENCE IN A MINUTE BUT THERE'S A ONE OF THE SHOTS THER. GOT ALL THE KIDS WITH THEIR LITTLE CLASS YEARS, 2,034. IT'S ALL AWESOME TO SEE.

SO AS WE MOVE ON JUST A REMINDER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 18,000 KIDS, POSSIBLY MORE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT STUDENTS MOVING IN AND OUT. THAT'S WHAT WE SERVE.

SO ON FRIDAY IN IF BOARD REPORT I THINK IT CALLED OUT 400 STUDENTS. WE KNEW THAT NUMBER WOULD DROP, I MENTIONED AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING.

THE 150 YOU SEE THERE WAS LAST NIGHT.

WE'RE NOW SITTING AT SEPTEMBER, OVER PROJECTION, THAT'S TYPICAL AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO EVEN OUT SOMEWHERE ABOVE PROJECTION BUT WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL WITH PROJECTION.

WE'VE ONLY ADDED I THINK ONE, TWO STAFF MEMBERS.

ONE OF THEM WAS MAYBE A MISTAKE AND THE OTHER WAS FOR GROWTH SINCE THAT TIME, SINCE FEBRUARY, SO SEEMS LIKE IT'S WORKING.

THE PLUS 345 YOU SEE THERE IS FROM LAST YEAR SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO BE ABOUT 270 KIDS OVER LAST YEAR WITH GROWTH.

AND AS I MENTIONED ON THIS AS OF YESTERDAY WE HAD LOOKED AT AND DEALT WITH OVER 1,002 HUB INTRADISTRICT TRANSFER REQUESTS, THAT'S KIDS REQUESTING TO SWITCH SCHOOLS AND OVER HUNDRED INTRADISTRICT TRANSFER REQUESTS FROM NATOMAS UNIFIED OR STAY ENROLLED SO IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO TRY TO GET EVERYBODY WHERE THEY WANT TO BE AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT AS OF TODAY WE DON'T HAVE ANY SCHOOL THAT AS A TK AVERAGE OVER 243 TO ONE WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE THERE'S THAT BIG RED 3 MILLION-DOLLAR PENALTY, HOWEVER THIS IS FLUCTUATING BY THE MOMENT AND WE'RE TRIALING THE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FAMILY THAT'S ON A WAITING LIST IF WE CAN GET THEM BACK INTO THEIR SCHOOL THAT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY AND THERE'S VERY FEW WAITING LISTS AT THAT MINUTE.

INTERCOM IS STILL IMPACTED ESPECIALLY AT THE NINTH GRADE.

A LOT OF ATTENDANCE EFFORTS TOUT THERE.

WE HAD A HUGE CALL BANK, OVER 820 STUDENTS WERE CALLED REMINDING PEOPLE ABOUT CHRONIC ABSEEN TEISM AND GETTING BACK INTO A BETTER PRE-COVID NUMBER OF AND THE BOARD APPROVED IN FEBRUARY AN ATTENDANCE CAMPAIGN PROGRAM THAT'S NOW LAUNCHED AND GOING. WE HAVE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS AVAILABLE FOR OUR ASSUMES LISTS HERE, I WON'T READ THEM. BUT WE HAVE 24 HOUR SERVICE IF NEEDED AND TRAINING FAMILIES AND STAFF ON HOW TO ACCESS THOSE AND WE ALSO HAVE A LITTLE HERE ABOUT HOW WE IDENTIFY STUDENTS.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THIS BOARD AS AUTHORIZED AND PUT INTO PLACE. THE OTHER DISTRICTS FRANKLY DON'T HAVE TO SO IT HELPS US TO GET TO KIDS WE WOULDN'T FIND OTHERWISE. AND IMMUNIZATION UPDATE, A LOT OF PAPERWORK BEING PROCESSED WITH ALL THE LATE LATE ENROLLMENT SOSES THERE ARE -- IT'S JUST STAFF WORKING OVER TIMEFUL WE HAVE THE CLINIC OPEN FOR SHOTS.

WE'RE DOING CLINICS STARTING SEVEN AT THE SCHOOLS WITH WITH THE MOBILE CLINIC SO THERE'S A LOT OF EFFORTS TO CAN GET SHOTS, GET SPORTS PHYSICALS. ALL THAT.

A LOT OF WORK GOING INTO THAT. BACK TO SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION

[01:00:01]

TALKING TO UNIVERSITYS ABOUT INTERNS AND OF THOSE WE HAVE FIVE OF THEM ARE SCC CLASSES. WE HAVE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG COVERAGE FOR THOSE BUT WE ARE REALLY WORKING -- REALLY FOUR OF THOSE CLASSROOMS, ONE IS FOR A POSITION WE WOULD LIKE THE ADD IF WE CAN FIND A TEACHER BUT RIGHT NOW THE PRIORITY IS FILLING THE FOUR. WE STILL HAVE A ONE ELEMENTARY TEACHER WED NEED FOR SIXTH GRADE AND THEN THREE HIGH SCHOOL, ONE IS PE AND TWO ARE ENGLISH AND YOU CAN SEE OTHER ONESLIED HIRE.

SOME UPCOMING PUD ON WRITING AND LIT LITERACY EFFORTS AND ON TOP OF ALL THE NORMAL BIRTHDAY WED DO WITH READING AND MATH WE DEFINITELY ARE THE WRITING FOCUSED PDS.

LEAF ACT UPDATE, SO WE HAVE 340 STUDENT ENROLLED IN OUR LEAF ACADEMIES. MOSTLY MAXED OUT AND LOOKING TO EXPAND WHERE WE CAN OR WHERE WE CAN INCREASE CAPACITY.

COUPLE PICTURES HERE FROM SOME LEAP PROGRAMS. AND SO THAT TEAM IS WORKING AND STILL WE'RE NOW -- THIS IS DAY FIVE OF OUR LEAP PROGRAMS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THINGS BUT PROGRESSING FORWARD.

AND THEN PARENTS UPDATE, I'M SURE THIS IS TOTALLY OLD ENTHUSE BUT THERE WERE ALMOST 11,000 AS OF YESTERDAY SO IT'S WELL OVER THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THE ANSWER BUT DEFINITELY NORTH OF THAT.

FAMILIES ARE VERY POSITIVE ABOUT PARENT SWEAR AND THE PARENT FEAR IS GREAT. SO A LOT OF WAYS TO -- EVERY SCHOOL AS QR CODE UP FRONT HANGING ON THE INTELLIGENCE.

LIKE I SAID FOMO LAST TIME, FEAR OF MISSING OUT IS DEFINITELY KICKING IN. PEOPLE ARE DOWNLOADING THE APP AND PEOPLE ARE ON THE SQUARE. SAFETY AND SAFE SCHOOLS UPDATE, SO THE FIRST -- SORRY, WAS THAT -- JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S AWAKE. A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL INCLUDING EMERGENCY DRILLS, ALL THE RADIO CHECKS, ALL THAT STUFF THAT NORMALLY HAPPEN.

ALERTING POLICE AND FIRE SCHOOL STARTED BACK UP, WE ARE ONE OF THE EARLIERER DISTRICTS TO START SO CLIMATE LIAISONS IS OUT AND ABOUT CHECKING THINGS. MUCH BETTER PICTURES THAN TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I TALKED TO YOU. THE UPGRADE WHERE YOU WALK THROUGH THE OFFICE YOU CHECK IN AND WALK THROUGH A DIFFERENT DOOR TOE GET INTO CAN YOU SAY EXPOS CAN AGAIN THE INTELLIGENCE WHERE EVERYBODY ENTERS RIGHT THERE AT THE EDGE OF THE APARTMENT THERE AND THE PERIMETER FENNEL THAT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND, SO THAT'S IN PLACE.

NATOMAS MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD IS RIGHT IN THE FINAL STAGES TEMPERATURE LINES ARE NOT BUT THE NATURE.

EVER OF FIELD AND BEAUTIFUL NEW TRACK.

SO DEFINITELY A POSITIVE. AND JUST PUT THIS UP HERE AS REMINDER BUT PATH TO SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION, IF SOMEBODY HAS CONCERNS AND NEEDS TO SHARE SOMETHING THIS IS AVAILABLE TO THEM AND MULTIPLE HANDLES AND WE HAVE LANGUAGE WITH 52 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. ACTUALLY I THINK THERE'S MORE THAN THAT BUT THOSE ARE THE COMMONLY USED ONES.

AND THAT EXCLUDES THE CONTEXT SLIDES.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE TRUSTEES?

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. >> JUST A COMMENT.

WONDERFUL JOB AND THE ENTHUSIASM WAS AN ADDED PLUS, I ENJOYED IT.

>> THANKS, I TRIED. >> SO I WAS THIS THE DISTRIBUTE OFFICE I THINK IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL AND IT WAS VERY EXCITING AROUND HERE.

EVERYBODY IS RUNNING, CHECKING THE NUMBERS, MIXING SURE -- I SAID WE DON'T HAVE TO ORDER ANY PORTABLES DO WE? BECAUSE MAKING SURE, CHECKING WITH DOUG ORR BUT THERE WAS SUCH A LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT IN THIS BUILDING THE DAY BEFORE SCHOOL BECAUSE EVEN IS PLANNING FOR THIS HUGE EVENT, WHICH IT IS AND EVERY HAD THEIR ROLES BUT I COULDN'T FIND ANYBODY WHO HAD --

[01:05:06]

AND ALL THE REST OF THE STAFF WHO JUST REALLY -- IT WAS EVERYBODY FROM EVERY EMPLOYEE IN THIS BUILDING.

YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING HAPPENED AND REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND OBVIOUSLY THE SCHOOL SITE TOO.

>> TEACHERS IN THEIR RADIOS OVER THE WEEKEND BEFORE SCHOOL.

CAN YOU SAY TOAD YARNS WORKING OVERTIME TO OPEN ROOMS FOR TEACHERS. EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER WAS THERE WORKING AND YOU COULD SEE THE LOVE THEY PUT IN TO MAYBE THINGS READY FOR THE FIRST DAY WHICH WAS EVIDENT IN ALL THE PICTURES. THOSE WERE JUST A GLIMPSE.

THERE WERE SO MANY. >> THE BACKPACKS WERE HEAVIER THAN THE KIDS. THEY WEIGHED MORE THAN THE LITTLE KIDS. THANK YOU.

>> JUST A THANK YOU AND TO ADD ON TO ALL THE OTHER THANK YOUS AND I WILL WEAR THE -- WHAT IS IT GOT SQUARE SHIRT BUT IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER WAYS THAT I -- AND I'M SURE ALL OF US WANT TO PROMOTE SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOOL THAT WEB HELP WITH GET MORE PARENTS ON IMPEACHMENT SQUARE ALTHOUGH THAT NUMBER IS AMAZING.

>> WE'RE ALMOST MATTER OFFING THE NUMBER OF STUDENT WE HAVE

BUT NOT ONE FOR ONE. >> BUT LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN BE HELPFUL AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S HATCHED.

>> THANK YOU, DOUG. DANGEROUS ACTION, I MEAN EXCUSE

[XIII.c. Constituent and Customer Services (CCS) Update]

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT PARTICULAR AGENDA

[XIV.a. Present and Approve Comprehensive Curriculum to Support Students with Disabilities]

>> GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT.

PRESENTED FORWARD YOUR CONSIDERS TONIGHT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM TO TO THETH SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND MEGAN HUDSON WILL PRESENT ADDITIONAL

INFORMATION REGARDING THAT ITEM. >> GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT, TRUE TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT. I'M EXCITED TOBY HERE -- [INDISCERNIBLE]. SOING BASICALLY TONIGHT WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE THE CURRICULUM THAT A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE BEEN ALREADY UTILIZING BOARD ADOPTED FOR AGAIN OUR STUDENTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE DISABILITIES AND OBTAIN DIRECTION FROM YOU TO DO THAT. SO OUR CURRENT REALITY, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVEN MCCARTHY HISTORICALLY OUR TEACHERS DO EVERY MORNING EVERY MORNING THEY CAN TO FIND WHAT CURRICULUM, WHAT IDEAS, WHAT LESSON PLANS ARE WORK BEST FOR THE STUDENTS THEY HAVE IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. CDE HAS NOT HAVE ANY ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM FOR STUDENTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE ADDICTS AND WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, YOU ALL DID ACTUALLY BOARD ADOPT UNDERSTANDERLS, UNIQUE LEFT TURNING SYSTEMS AS SUPPLEMENTAL CURRICULUM FOR THOSE CLASSROOM THIS IS 2015 AND SINCE THAT TIME A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE BEEN UTILIZING IS THAT CURRICULUM.

AND NO OTHER COUNTY HAS BOARD ADOPT CURRICULUM FOR THESE STUDENTS. SO IN LOOKING AT THE INTRODUCTION FALTERS PROCESS AND TIME LINE WE DID TRY TO FOLLOW THIS STANDARD PRACTICE AS BEST WE WOULD BUT KNOWING THE UNIQUE NATURE TO HAVE CURRICULUM WE REALLY KIND OF TOOK A SPECIALIZED APPROACH BUT YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE PROCESS AND OUR SOMETIME LINE WHERE WE DID HIT MOST OF THE STANDARD OPERATIONS.

WE HAD A LOT OF STAFF INVOLVEMENT.

AGAIN, OUR MODERATE TO SEVERE TEACHERS WORK HARDER THAN ANY ORE TEACHER,, THEY DO EVERYTHING THIS CAN THEY CAN.

[01:10:01]

KNOWING THE WAY WE HAVE SINCE 2015 UTILIZED THE CURRICULUM IT WAS A DIFFERENT PILOT IN THAT THREE TEACHER PILOTED BOTH AND THEY DID IT FROM 22:00 PILOT RENTAL AND FOUR OTHER TEACHERING DID A DID A DEEP DIVE INTO THE CURRICULUM THAT'S NOT CREEK.

SO WHEN WE LOOKED THE AT THE ADOPTION TEAM DID REVIEW ALL OF OUR VISIONS, OUR CORE VALUES TO ENSURE THE CURRICULUM THAT WAS ADOPTED WAS ADOPTED FROM A DISTRICT LENS.

THE TEAM DEVELOPED A COMPREHENSIVE RUBRIC THAT INCLUDED ALL THE AREAS. AND ALSO INCLUDED THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL AND THE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS CRITERIA FOR WHAT THAT CHRISTMAS LUMP SUM MIGHT LIKE.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE AGAIN THE UNIQUE NATURE OF EACH OF THESE STUDENTS WORSHIP THE CLASSROOM AND REALLY LOOKING AT IT FROM THAT LENS. SO WHEN THE TEAM LOOKED THEY DETERMINED THAT TWO PUBLISHERS ACTUALLIED THAT THAT COMPREHENSIVE EXEMPT AND JUST TO NOTE THIS IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM ONLY, THERE'S NO PHYSICAL TEXT BOOK, NO MATERIALS, BUT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD LESSONS IF PARENTS WANTED TO SUPPLEMENT AT HOME OR IF STUDENTS WERE ON HOME HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL REASONS OR JUST TAKING A FAMILY TRIP. SO TEACH TOWN IS ONE AND AGAIN THAT UNIQUE LEARNING SYSTEM. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BASED ON OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS WE WILL BE ASSIGNING THE TECHNOLOGY THEY NEED IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE CURRICULUM, SO IF THEY NEED A TOUCH SCREEN CHROMEBOOK OUR TEAM HAS WORKED WITH BARBARA IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT TO GET WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED TO ACCESS THIS CURRICULUM.

SO GOING BACK TOWER STANDARD PROCESS, WHEN OUR TEAM EVALUATED THE CURRICULUM WE MADE SURE THAT WE LOOKED THE AT THE AREAS OF FOCUS TO ENSURE ALIGNMENT WITH THE GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM SO OUR STUDENTS COULD BE LEARNING PARALLEL TOE WHAT GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ARE AND REALLY LOOKING AT THE DISTRIBUTE DISTRICT AREA FOCUS FOR THE CURRICULUM.

MY FAVORITE PART IS OUR FEEDBACK, AND DEFINITELY ONE OF OUR CORE VALUES IS SEEKING FEEDBACK.

VERY UNIQUE AGAIN, OUR TEACHERS CREATED STUDENT QUESTIONS AND THAT STUDENT WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE COULD ANSWER AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE CURRICULUM. SO 38 PAIUTES OFFENSE FEEDBACK WAS GATHERED WHICH YOU KNOW IS A BIG THING.

OUR TEACHERS ALL THE FEEDBACK FROM OUR TEACHERS DID COME OUT

HIGHER THAN THE TEACH TOWN. >> JUST A QUICK QUESTION, DO WE HAVE A SAMPLE OF THAT FEEDBACK WITH A THAT'S WE GET FROM

STUDENTS? >> I COULD GET IT FOR YOU

ABSOLUTELY. >> THANK YOU.

>> ONE OF OUR HURTS THAT WE DID COME ACROSS WAS OUR PARENT FEEDBACK. WE HAD NUMEROUS MEETINGS THAT WERE NOT ATTENDERRED BY OUR FAMILIES SO MY TEAM DID AN INDIVIDUAL TELL CONE PHONE CALL AND WE WERE ABLE THE GATHER 125 FEEDBACK THERE OUR FAMILIES WHICH IS ALMOST HALF.

WE WERE ALMOST AT THE HALF POINT.

VERY EXCITED BASED ON THAT AND OUR PARENT FEEDBACK AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD ALMOST 65 PERCENT OF OUR PARENTS SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE AND WHAT WE GATHERED IN THAT PIECE IS THAT OUR FAMILIES REALLY TRUE TRUSTS OUR TEACHERS AND KNOWING THAT IT WAS SUCH A SPECIALIZED PSYCHIATRIC LUMP SUM THAT IS THAT I TRUSTED THAT PART. SO OUR STAPH RECOMMENDATION IS A THREE YEAR APPROVAL TO FORMALLY PURCHASE AS THE BOARD ADOPTED CURRICULUM WHICH WILL MEAL #R MEET THE WILLIAM ACT FOR OUR MODERATE TO SEVERE CLASSROOMS TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WILL INCLUDE ALL TEACHER TERMS, THE INDIVIDUAL LICENSE AND THEN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EACH OF OUR TEACHERS AND THIS WILL BE ALIGN OUR PROGRAMS WITHIN THE NATOMAS UNIFIED AIRPORT TO SEVERE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM.

SO OUR REQUEST APPROVAL IS TO NORMALLY ADOPT UNIQUE LEARNING SYSTEMS AS OUR BOARD ADOPTED CURRICULUM FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS.

>> QUESTIONS THERE THE BOARD MEMBERS?

>> I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS AND I'M SEW EXCITED WITH THE SIGNING OF THE TECHNOLOGY FOR STUDENT BECAUSE WE'RE TRULY GOING

[01:15:01]

THE EXCITEMENT AND THE JOY OF KNOWING THAT YOU REACHED OUT TO EACH ONE OF THOSE PARENTS INDIVIDUALLY BECAUSE IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO BE A PARENT IT'S EVEN HARDER IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL EDUCATION INVOLVED AND MODERATE TO SEVERE.

I WON'T PUMP SO MUCH ON THE PLATE BUT MY GOAL IS TO ADVENTURE SEE THAT HAPPEN TO ALL SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND THE TEACHERS TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION IS HARDER BUT WHIP YOU'RE IN MOD TO SEVERE NOT ONLY DOES THAT TAKE A SPECIAL PERSON TO DO SO MY HEART DEFINITELY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> TRUSTEE GRANT. >> YOU TALK THE ME ABOUT WHAT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR STAFF LOOKS LIKE?

>> SURE, SO THE PUBLISHER CRIB LUMP SUM WILL COME OUT AND WE WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR SELF YEARS WHERE THEY TRAIN OUR STAFF ON EACH OF THE LEVELS AND HOW TO DO THE PRETEST AND PUT THEM IN THEIR DIFFERENT AREAS OF LEARNING ESSENTIALLY AND THEN HOW THAT LOOK AND REALLY HOW TO RUN THE CURRICULUM.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

THE THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING.

MY SON CHRISTIAN HERNANDEZ, HE'S A SENIOR AT INTERCOM HIGH SCHOOL AND ALSO ON THE VARSITY TEAM. I'M HERE TO REQUEST REINSTATEMENT OF COACH HARRIS. COACH HARRIS HAS BEEN A PHENOMENAL NOT ONLY A COACH BUT AL A ROLE MODEL FOR THESE PLAYERS. HE HAS INSTILL IN THEM DISCIPLINE, RESPECT, LOYALTY AND AZURE ADVICE STATED ON YOU KNOW YOUR DISTRICT WALL HIS PREPARED THESE STUDENTS TO BE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY. I'M ALSO ONE OF THE VARSITY TEAM MOMS, COACH HARRIS HAS FROM THE BEGINNING HAS CONSTANT MEETINGS WITH ALL LEVEL PARENTS AND PLAYERS, IDENTIFYING THAT THE SCHOOL PROVIDES YOUR STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS, BUT IT DOESN'T PROVIDE YOU THE APPAREL AND ALL THE ADDITION THINGS THESE SEWAGES WOULD A LOT OF TO HAVE, SO THEREFORE HE PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS AND PLAYERS TO FUND RAISE FOR THESE APPARELS. IT HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR FROM DAY ONE THAT THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL ITEM THAT THESE PLAYERS THEMSELVES VOTED ON AND WANTED. LAST YEAR THEY HAD NICE WARMUP SUITS THAT THEY HAD THEIR LAST NAMES TON BACK ORNITHOSES WARMUP SUITS IS THAT WHEN WE ATTEND OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE ONE UNITY, E ARE ONE SCHOOL AND THESE KIDS HAVE BEEN DEV INDICATED THAT THEIR COACH HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM AND I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD RECONSIDER THIS BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT JUST PLAYERS BUT THESE ARE YOUNG MEN THAT LOOKED TOWN THIS COACH THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM, AND SO I HOPE THAT YOU WOULD ALL PLEASE RECONSIDER REINSTATING COACH HARRIS. THANK YOU.

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] .DEAR DECISION MAKE E MY NAME IS CHRISTIAN HARRIS AND I'M SPEAKING WITH YOU TO SHARE MY SUPPORT FOR COACH HARRIS TO BE REINSTATED AT HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT INTERCOM HIGH SCHOOL.

I LOVE HOW FOOTBALL CREATED A BROTHERHOOD AND SAFE HAVEN FOR ME AND MY FELLOW TEAMMATES. I LOVE HOW WE WERE TAUGHT NOT ONLY TO PLAY FOOTBALL BUT HOW TO BE MEN OFF THE FIELD.

I LOVE HOW I GET UP EVERY MORNING AND SAY TO MYSELF I CAN WORK MY CRAFT WITH MY BROTHERS . . .

COACH HARRIS HAS NOBLE BEEN AMAZING FATHER BUT HE HAS SHOWN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE HOW TO BE A MAN AND HOW TO SHOW LOVE THROUGH SACRIFICE THROUGH THOSE I CARE FOR.

I WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY WITHOUT HIM AND WITHOUT HIM IN THE PROGRAM IT PUTS A LOT OF STRAIN ON THE COACHES, PLAYERS AND MYSELF. THIS PROGRAM WOULD NOT BE THE SAIL WITHOUT COACH HARRIS. HE HAS HAD A LOT OF SLEEPLESS

[01:30:01]

YOU AND FREE BIG REG. >> .

>> DEAR NUS D DECISION MAKE ERIC MY NAME IS ISAAC AND I'M WRITING TO SHOW MY SUPPORT FOR COACH HARRIS TO BE REINSTATED AS HEADS VARSITY FOOTBALL COACH AT INTERCOM HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M A JUNIOR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOOTBALL SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD. COACH HARRIS CREATED A BROTHERHOOD AND HE CHAIN MARYLAND I PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS NOT ONLY OF FOOTBALL BUT AS A LIFE COACH FROM HIS PAST EXPERIENCES. I REMEMBER SOME DAYS IN THE WEIGHT ROOM AS A FRESHMAN WHEN WE WERE GOING TO LIFT BUT DIDN'T BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF A MATTER THAT CAME UP.

COACH HARRIS ALL KEPT IT DERAIL AND NEVER ALLOWED US TO SETTLE FOR LESS. COACH HARRIS HAD US DO STUDY HALL DURING THE SEASONS I'VE BEEN HERE AND IT HAS DRAMATICALLY HELPED ME. COACH HARRIS WENT AS FAR AS TO PAY THE TEACHERS OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET FOR TUTORING FOR US AND ALWAYS WE WOULD HAVE GREAT MEALS THAT HE PAID FOR BEFORE A GAME AND IT WAS ALL FILLING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE COACH HEAT ADVISORY BACK BECAUSE HE NOT ONLY ROLE MODEL BUT A FATHER FIGURE FOR SOME OF MY BROTHERS THAT ARE TO BE FOOTBALL TEAM.

IF COACH HARRIS DIDN'T KEEP US INVOLVED IN CURRICULARA. ALL YEAR THEN WE WOULDN'T BE WHERE WE WANT TO BE RIGHT NOW.

THE GOOD THING THAT WE AS A TEAM HAVE GONE OUT OF THE SITUATION IS IT HAS MENTAL WE HAVE TO FACE ADVERSITY EVERY DAY AND WHETHER OR NOT WE FIGHT BACK OR STAND DON.

THAT'S WHY AS A STEAM WE ARE STAYING STRONG, CONSISTENT AND DISCIPLINED THROUGH IN TIME. WE WANT THE WIN STATE AND COACH HARRIS HAS BEEN EMPHASIZING IT ALL SUMMER SENSE MONDAY WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL. WE EMPHASIZES I WOULD IN OUR CONDITIONING AND WEIGHT TRAINING.

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY COACH HARRIS IS A GREAT COACH ASK GREAT LIFE COACH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AGREE BIG REG. >> KYLE.

DEER NOSD DECISION MAKE E, I'VE BEEN THE PROGRAM FOR THREE YEARS. TEACH HARRIS HAS ALL SHOWED US 'EM EMPATHY AND HOW HIS POCKETSES ARE HOW BROKE HE IS BECAUSE OF US. WHAT I LEARNED TODAY IS HE CARES ABOUT ALL OF US AND IS DISCIPLINED.

IF THERE ARE ISSUES WITH GRADES HE ENCOURAGES US TO FIX IT OURSELVES WITH OUR TEACHER AND IF IT DOESN'T GET FIX TO SEE TALK THE HIM AND HE WILL GET IT FIXED.

HE IS IMPORTANT TOWER PROGRAM AND I HOE HOPE THAT US BEING HERE TODAY SHOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR US.

WE HOPE COACH HARRIS WILL BE THERE FOR US ON FRIDAY.

GO TIGERS AND FREE REG. THANK YOU.

>> . >> MY NAME IS DOMINICK AND FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY AND I'M HERE THE REPRESENT THE VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM.

THIS IS MY THIRD YEAR THIS THIS PROGRAM.

MANY OF MY TEAMMATES WANTED TO BE HERE FOR COACH HARRIS BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE RIDES OR WERE NERVOUS TO SPEAK.

COACH HARRIS IS A BIG ROLE MODEL TO US SHOWING US WHAT A FAMILY MAN IS LIKE. HE ALWAYS HAS OUR BACK INNER EVERY SWAYING, LIKE IF WE GET IN TROUBLE, HAVE ANY LIFE PROBLEMS AND JUST ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.

[01:35:03]

HERE'S ALWAYS PUSHING US TO BE GREAT.

THANK YOU. FREE BIG REG.

>> CRYSTAL -- I KNOW WE HAVE TWO ROOMS SO WE NEED TO ALLOW FOR THEM TIME TO COME OVER FROM THE OTHER ROOM.

I DON'T THINK IS MAKING THEIR WAY -- CAN YOU SEE NEBRASKA MAKING THEIR WAY? LET'S SEE IF WE CAN . . .

>> NO? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT THE REQUEST TO SPEAK THAT CRYSTAL SUBMITTED.

REMOVE THAT. AND THEN THE NEXT PERSON IS SABRINA. SHE FEELS IN NEXT ROOM TOO I

THINK. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. I'M HOW THE HERE TO SUPPORT COACH HARRIS: I KNOW HERE'S BEEN THERE FOR LAST TWO YEARS BUT ME AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY SINCE IT WAS DIRT FROM BACK IN ZERO FOUR, THEY WERE ALL PART OF THE FOOTBALL A PROGRAM AND INTERCOM HAS BUILT A GOOD REPUTATION AS FAR AS THE WHOLE PROGRAM FROM WAY BACK THEN.

SO AS FAR AS COACH HARRIS I REALLY SUPPORT HIM.

HE HAS BEEN A HUGE INFLUENCE FOR MY SON AND HIS PLAICESSERS TOO, LIKE MY SON VERY DISCIPLINED NOW AND EVEN WE -- HE MISSED THE WHOLE DISNEY LAND TRIP BECAUSE HE SAID HE HAD TO GO TO FOOTBALL PRACTICING BUT HE REALLY LOVE IT IS PROGRAM.

WE THINK THE PRACTICAL HAS COME A LONG WAY AND I THINK THIS HINDERS IT NOT ONLY JUST THE PROGRAM BUT AS A COMMUNITY, I MEAN IT'S A BAD LOOK FOR US BECAUSE EVEN AS PARENTS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, THERE'S NO PREMISE.

WE GOT AN E-MAIL SAYING HE'S TEMPORARILY SPURNEDDED AND WE PIT A LOT IN THE PROGRAM THE LAST TWO YEARS SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TRANSITION TEAM AND HE NEEDS TO BE REINSTATED.

NOT ONLY THAT THEY JUST LOST TWO COACHES, ONE JUST PASSED AWAY AND WHO ELSE WAS IT? AND THIS WOULD BE THE NEXT LOSS, SO THEY PUT UP WITH A LOT AND THEY'RE JUST KIDS.

IT'S HARD FOR US ADULTS TO SORT THROUGH THIS WHOLE THING BUT THEM AS CHILDREN IT'S A LOT FOR THEM K. AND THE WHOLE MEETING, I'M GLAD EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THE LITTLE KIDS DID BUT AS FAR AS THEM AND THAT'S -- YOU GUYS DID WORK. THE NUMBERS LOOK AWESOME, EVERYTHING LOOKS AWESOME FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, BUT FOR THEM THEY DIDN'T GET THAT STARKS.

IS THAT I WEREN'T ALL ABLE TO BE HAPPY, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF ENTHUSIASM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

THEY HAD A SCRIMMAGE GAME WITHOUT THEIR COACH AT THE LAST MINUTE AND THIS IS JUST NOT -- I THINK WOVE COME TOO FAR JUST TOILETS OUR NAME AND OUR PROGRAM AND OUR COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT GO DOWN LIKE THIS, SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE RECONSIDER TO REINSTATE HIM THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

THANK YOU. >> IS IT TANITHA EDWARDS?

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] TO PRESENT TO SPEAK WITH ME.

FOR WHICH THEY HAD WORKED VERY HARD TO PREPARE.

SORRY, A LITTLE NERVOUS. NEWS OF COACH HEAT ADVISORY'S SUSPENSION OR IN THE WORDS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO US HIS BEING TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO FILL THE ROLE, IT'S BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I HAVE TO SAY IT DID PUT A DAMPER ON THE START OF THE YEAR AND THE SEASON. AND IT'S LEFT MANY WITH SADNESS AND UNCERTAINTY, AND A LAB OF STRUCTURE.

COACH HARRIS IN MY OBSERVATION, HE'S BEEN A POSITIVE ROLL MODEL AND TO MY SON AND TOE MANY OTHERS AND INCLUDING THOSE WHO MAY NOT HAVE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL IN THEIR LIVES OR IN THEIR

[01:45:03]

ONE TIME I WAS HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH HIM AND I DIDN'T REALIZE HE KNEW WHO MY SON WAS AND HE SAID YEAH, HE KNEW ALL HIS GRADES CAN EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE DOES THE WEEKLY CHECKS AND HE IS VERY INVOLVED WITH ALL OF THE PLAYERS.

YEAH, SO HE'S PROVIDED STRUCTURE IN THE PROGRAM AND TO THE STUDENT ATHLETES. HERE'S TAUGHT THEM ABOUT COMMITMENT, HARD WORK, DEDICATION, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND HUMILITY IN WIN ASKS LOSSES.

CAN I SEE THESE TEACHINGS REGULARLY DISPLAYED IN MY SON'S BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS. COACH HARRIS IS ACTION TO THE LIVES OF THOSE YOUNG MEN DURING A CRUCIAL THEM TIME WHEN THEY MAKE CHOICES THAT IMPACT THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY AGAIN I'M IN SUPPORT OF COACH HARRIS' REINSTATEMENT AND I HOPE THAT YOU VOTE THAT WAY.

THIS PAST SUMMER FREEDOM SCHOOL WAS AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN TONUSD PROVIDING A SUMMER PROGRAM OPTION WHICH TOOK PLACE AT BANNON CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WHILE WIDOW NOT HAVE THE QUANTITIESIVE DATA TO PRESENT TONIGHT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE QUALITATIVE DATA AND PARENTAL TESTIMONIES HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE FOR FREEDOM SCHOOL.

THE FREEDOM SCHOOL PROVIDED STRUCTURE AND EDUCATION IN A AN INTERACTIVE MANNER. THE STAFF WAS PHENOMENAL.

THE READ ALOUD AND FIELD TRIPS WERE EDUCATIONAL AND MEMORABLE.

[01:50:04]

SINCE RSDC IS ALREADY APRE-AREVIEWED PROVIDER THE NEED TO HAVE THIS BE PLACED TON NEXT AGENDA SHOULD NOT APPLY.

AS A RESULT WE ARE REQUESTING AND WOULD LIKE THE PUBLIC RECORD TO REFLECT OUR REQUEST TO HAVE FREEDOM SCHOOL ADDED TO THIS YEAR'S AFTER-SCHOOL OFFERINGS AT ONE OF THE TITLE ONE OR LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS SINCE THEY ARE STARTING THE PROCESS THE SOON WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING THE RETURN OF FREEDOM SCHOOL TO THE SUMMER SCHOOL ROSTER WITH AN OPEN OFFERING FOR ALL SCHOLARS BIRTH TRADITION TRADITIONAL AND CHARTER.

>> GOOD EVENING BOARD, MY NAME IS ASIA GENERAL PUMPKINS AND I 2022 AM A PARENT OF A CHILD IN THE DISTRICT.

I'M GOING TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WE DON'T HAVE THE QUANTITATIVE DATA TO REFORM HERE TONIGHT.

NUSD INSISTED IN EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FREEDOM SCHOOL BY CONDUCTING A PRE-AND POST TEST. MBPU RECENTLY REACHED OUT TO MR. FONG AND WESTERN NOTIFIED OF A GLITCH WHICH RESULTED IN A FAULTY IT'S PROCEDURE ULTIMATELY YIELDING A SAMPLE TOO . . .

JULES >>> OUR LAST SPEAKER FOR THE EVENING IS -- [INDISCERNIBLE] GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

>> GOOD EVENING. I'M SEW GLAD TO SEE HEALTHY FACES, FATHER OF A NEW STUDENT, WONDERFUL TRUSTEES AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT. I'M HERE TO MAKE A REQUEST.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXTEND AND ADD ONE MORE MINUTE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT AIRPORT THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL NEEDS TO MAKE? THE SECOND REQUEST IS JUST AS DURING THE COVID ERA, PARENTS WERE ABLE TO BE HOME, SETS ASIDE TIME TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT, AND NOT BE HERE FOR THE AVERAGE TWO HOUR MEETING.

CAN WE AT LEAST CONSIDER REINSTATING THAT SYSTEM? IT WOULD ALLOW FOR OF COURSE MORE INPUT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT WHICH WE KNOW IS VERY MERCHANT AND IT WOULD ALLOW PARENTS TO BE HOME WITH THEIR CHILDREN DOING THEIR JOB AT A MORE EXCELLENT LEVEL. SO THOSE TWO REQUESTS, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR GETTING A RESPONSE, IF WE NEED TO SPEND IT TO THE STAFF OR CONSTITUENT CUSTOMER SERVICES BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO RECEIVE AN ANSWER AS TO THE POSSIBILITY AT LEAST FOR THOSE TWO ITEMS. MY LAST COMMENT COMMENT IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PARENTS WHO WERE HERE AND THE VERY ORDERLY RESPECTFUL DEMEANOR OF EACH OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE OF THE CROWD THAT WAS HERE, IT IS A FINE EXAMPLE TO THE REST OF OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THOSE WHO WERE RAM BUN, AND I'M BEING NICE WHO IN TRYING TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS DID NOT DO AS WELL OF A JOB AS THE SPORTS RECOMMENDED PARENTS WHO CAME TODAY. I COMMENTED THEM IMMENSELY.

FINE EXAMPLE TO OUR CHILDREN THAT WE CAN BE CIVIL, EXPRESS OURSELVES AND IN THIS DEMOCRACY, MAKE CHANGE.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> SO AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS SO TONIGHT'S REGULAR MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 8:04. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
