[X.d. Superintendent's Report]
>> SUPERINTENDENT. >> I'M GREAT FOUL MY STAFF FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY'VE PUT IN. THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY TIMES UNPRECEDENTED TO REALLY I I THINK THAT WORD IS PROBABLY OVERUSED BUT ACCURATE. AND ALL THE WORK THEY'VE PUT IN WE'RE NOW DOING THINGS THAT WE WERE NEVER INTENDED TO DO AS EDUCATORS THAT WE WEREN'T ASKED TO DO AND TRYING OUR BEST TO DO IT. AND I THINK THE NICE THING ABOUT NATOMAS IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR COMMUNITY RECOGNIZES AND HONORS AND RESPECTS THAT.
THE FACT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL RATIFY A SOCIAL WORKER JOB DESCRIPTION AND WE HAVE THOSE POSITIONS POSTED AND WE'LL BE ADDING SOCIAL WORKERS TO EVERY SCHOOL K-8.
THANK YOU BOARD FOR BEING SUPPORT OF THAT. THE FACT THAT TODAY MULTIPLE VARIANCEES AND GUIDELINES HAVE PUT TOGETHER AND UTILIZED RESTRICTIVE FUNDS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER FOR OUR STUDENTS TO HELP OUR WORKING FAMILIES. BOARD THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING HOW LONG HOURS WE WORK.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO SAID IT MUST BE NICE THAT SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED. YOU MUST BE GETTING SOMETIME OFF.
PRETTY NONE OF US HAD VACATION. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. WE'RE OK.
WE DIDN'T GET INTO THIS YOUR CALENDAR ROLLS AROUND TO 12 MONTHS ANYWAY.
I WILL SAY THOUGH SOME COMMENTS AND SOMEONE WHO MADE A COMMENT. I WON'T NAME THE PERSON THAT MADE A CRACK THAT I WOULD INTENTIONALLY WAIT TO PLAN CHILD CARE AND SHE HAS HER OWN REASONS WHY. I GOT TO TELL YOU IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOME ONE AND YOU WANT TO CRITICIZE US FEEL FREE TO DO IT. OTHERS DO. I'D ALSO ENCOURAGE THAT YOU THANK US AND YOU CONGRATULATE US WHEN OUR TEAM DOES A TREMENDOUS JOB.
THAT'S THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE. WE DO AMAZING STUFF CLEANING CAMPUSES NUTRITION SERVICES.
THAT'S THE TEACHERS. THEY DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR WORKING IN THESE ENVIRONMENTS.
BUT TO THINK THAT ANY ONE OF US BOARD OR STAFF WOULD INTENTIONALLY TRY TO HURT FAMILIES IN THIS PANDEMIC I FIND VIAL AND DISGUSTING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME THAT'S FINE. DON'T PRETEND TO THINK THAT WE'RE INTENTIONALLY DOING SOMETHING TO HURT KIDS. THAT'S OUT RIGHT JUST DISAPPOINTING AND NOT WHAT I FOUND TO WE THE BEST PART OF THIS COMMUNITY THAT I LIVE IN THAT I'VE RAISED MY KIDS IN FOR
[00:10:06]
NOON YEARS. I LOVE LIVING HERE. I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE.I LOVE WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH. MY BOSSES FROM THE PEOPLE I GET TO WORK WITH HERE. BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND ALL OF US ARE DOING OUR BEST TO MOVE FORWARD. DON'T THINK THAT ANY OF US ARE IN 10 SHON NALLLY PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES. THE BOARD JUST SPENT A MILLION DOLLARS TONIGHT.
AND AS ALREADY SPENT WELL OVER 3 AND ALMOST 4 ON THIS CRISIS THROUGH FUNDS WE'VE GOTTEN.
TRUST US WE'RE WORKING VERY LATE. THEY GET OUR 2:00 A.M. E-MAILS.

NOW MOVING ONTO PRESENTATIONS PART OF OUR AGENDA. THE FIRST PRESENTATION IS OUR
[XII.a. Distance Learning Survey and Fall Distance Learning]
DISTANCE LEARNING SURVEY AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER.>> GOOD EVENING TRUSTEES AND COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU AND YES WE WILL BE TEAM OF US WILL BE PROVIDING AN UPDATE NOT JUST ONTO DISTANCE LEARNING SURVEY THAT WE HAD IN THE SPRING WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE RESULTS BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT OUR DISTANCE LEARNING FOR THE FALL. SO I HAVE JOINING ME ONTO CALL OR ON THE MEETING RUSCHELL WHO WORKS WITH OUR RESEARCH AND DATA TEAM AND SUPERINTENDENT. SO I BELIEVE RUSCHELL YOU'RE
GOING TO BE HEARING. >> ALL RIGHT. SO AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND AS YOU HEAR THE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SO AS I SAID WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THE FEEDBACK GIVEN ON THE SURVEY THAT WAS SENT OUT TO TEACHERS STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES OF WHEN WE HAVE TO GO THE DISTANCE LEARNING.
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY OUR UPDATE FOR THE FALL. >> WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THE SPRING? WE'RE GOING THROUGH A QUICK TIMELINE.
SO ONE HUNDRED 45 DAYS AGO TODAY SCHOOLS CLOSED AND YOU COULD FEEL IT SOMETIMES BUT THAT FOLLOWING WEEK WE STARTED TO WORK TO GET AN MOU READY TO START DISTANCE LEARNING FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. BECAUSE WE KNEW WE NEEDED THAT TO HAPPEN.
FOR A FEW WEEKS WE SPENT TIME PLANNING PREPPING MAKING SURE OUR STUDENTS HAD ACCESS AND MAKING SURE EVERYTHING WAS UP AND RUNNING CREATING PRESENTATIONS ON HOW YOU ZOOM.
THIS WAS NEW FOR EVERYBODY AND THANKFULLY WE HAD 2 WEEKS TO DO A PILOT.
AS YOU REMEMBER WE LEARNED SOME THINGS AND ADJUSTED AND HELPED MORE FAMILIES GET ALIGNED AND MORE TEACHERS ON THE NEW PLATFORMS AND PROGRAMS. IT TOOK A WEEK FOR SPRING BREAK THAT WAS MUCH NEEDED FOR US AND THEN JUMPED RIGHT INTO DISTANCE LEARNING.
SO STAFF PROVIDED DISTANCE LEARNING FULL ON FROM APRIL 20 TWEETH THROUGH MAY 21ST AND WE WERE ALL HEARING THINGS -- FROM FAMILIES AND TEACHERS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING WELL WHAT WASN'T.
SO WE WANTED TO DO A FULL-BLOWN SCALE OF WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK.
WE WANTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING. SO ON MAY 15TH WE SENT OUT DISTANCE LEARNING SURVEYS BY E-MAIL, PHONE, MEDIA. I MEAN ALL OUR NORMAL WAYS OF COMMUNICATING. SORRY. AND THEN WE'VE BEEN USING THOSE SURVEY RESULTS TO INFORM PLAN FORTH THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR. NOW MY PSYCHIC GENE WAS OFF BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WE WOULD START THE SCHOOL YEAR THIS WAY BUT AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE REALLY GREAT FEED BALL SO YOU'LL SEE THE SURVEY RESULTS THAT I GO OVER REFLECTED IN DISTANCE LEARNING FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. NOW I GOT MY BUTTON STRAIGHT
[00:15:05]
WE'RE GOING TO THE LOOK THAT ABOUT WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE SPRING.SO IT WAS SENT TO ALL STUDENTS IN GRADES AND ALL FAMILIES OF ALL GRADES.
THESE ARE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS TEACHERS AND FAMILIES THAT RESPONDED AS WELL AS THE % OF RESPONDENTS. SO YOU SEE 18%, 60% AND 41% RESPECTIVELY.
IT GAVE US SOME CRITICAL FEEDBACK THAT WE WANTED AND NEEDED.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE. WE ASKED 3 UP ENDED QUESTIONS WHICH AS A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCHER WAS AMAZE GOES TO GET BACK INTO THAT QUALITATIVE RESEARCH BECAUSE WE REALLY WANTED TO KNOW OPEN ENDED TELL US EVERYTHING THAT WENT WELL EVERYTHING THAT DIDN'T AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO TELL US.
SO WE WERE HERE TO LISTEN. SO LET'S LOOK AT WHAT MADE DISTANCE LEARNING SUCCESSFUL.
YOU CAN SEE FOR OUR STUDENTS THEY WERE EXCITED THAT THEY GOT TO BE ABLE TO FINISH MORE WORK AND INCREASE THEIR GRADE. SO A LOT OF THEM SAID THEY WERE WORRIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH WHEN WE CLOSED SCHOOL THAT WAS IT. THEY WERE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THAT GRADE. BUT WE GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY I TO INCREASE THAT AND THEY EVEN JOYED THAT. THEY LIKED THE FLEXIBILITY YOU KNOW OF GETTING ONLINE FINISHING WORK WHEN THEY COULD AND CONNECTING WITH THEIR TEACHERS AND THEIR CLASSMATES EITHER WITH ZOOM CLASSROOM WORK PROJECTS AND STILL HAVING THAT CONNECTION. TEACHERS KIND OF SIMILAR THEY REALLY LIKE THE ONLINE PLATFORMS. SO ZOOM HAS BEEN A BIG THING.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN ON ZOOM SO MUCH IN MY LIFE BUT THAT HAS BEEN HUGE AND USING GOOGLE CLASSROOM AND ONLINE CURRICULUM THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT THANKFUL HE THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH SO WE CAN GO INTO WONDERS AND CENTRAL AND USE ONLINE CORRECT LOOMS AND PLATFORMS THAT THEY WERE USED TO USING. FAMILIES THAT MAJORITY OF THEM LIKED IT WHEN THEY GOT THAT CLEAR STRUCTURE THAT CLEAR KNOW STRUCKS SHIN.
HEY WE'RE DOING MORNING MEETING AT 8 A.M. WE'RE GETTING ON ZOOM AT 10:00 A.M. TO DO THIS. THIS IS THE CLASS THEY REALLY ENJOYED.
THAT RIGHT TEEN STILL EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE AT HOME YOU STILL GET THAT RIGHT TEEN.
AND THEN ENGAGING WITH THE TEACHERS. AND GETTING THAT TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY BECAME TEACHERS ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEY'RE AT HOME.
THEY'RE HAVING TO HELP THEIR STUDENTS. SO THEY LIKE THAT CONNECTION WITH THE TEACHER AND ENGAGEMENT THERE. AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT
ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE CLASSROOMS IS ALWAYS A FUN THING. >> SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT POSED CHALLENGES SO THE QUESTION WE ASKED WHAT POSED CHALLENGES IN DISTANCE LEARNING? I WAS SO EXCITED TO READ THE BLUNT AND HONEST TRUTH OF THE WHAT POSED CHALLENGES.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE SLIDES WE LOOKED AT THE TOP 5 WITH THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES TO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO IT. AND THE MAJORITY FROM EACH GROUP SAID YOU KNOW STAYING MOTIVATED BEING ENGAGED PARTICIPATING WHEN AGAIN I GUESS THIS ASSIGNMENT AND HAVE ALL DAY IT'S RALLY EASY TO GO PLAY FORTNITE INSTEAD OF WORKING ON THE ASSIGNMENT. SO WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED STRUCTURE. WE NEEDED TO HAVE A SCHEDULE. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT LATER ON.
BUT THAT JUST RANG TRUE THROUGH ALL 3 GROUPS OF GETTING THE WORK DONE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND ATTENDING CLASS AND THEN ANOTHER PIECE WAS COMMUNICATING. SOMETIMES FAMILIES COME HOME FROM WORK AND THE TEACHER THEIR WORK HOURS ARE DONE SO FIND THAT GO TIME WHERE TEACHERS ARE AVAILABLE AND FAMILIES KNOW THEY'RE AVAILABLE AND STUDENTS KNOW THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO ACTUALLY CONNECT AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOING RIGHT FOR EVERYONE THAT WAS 2 BIGGEST THINGS THAT YOU SAW. IT WAS NICE THAT EVERYONE WAS OPEN AND HONEST ON THE SURVEY.
>> SO THE THIRD OPEN-ENDED QUESTION WE ASKED WAS HOW TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENT ARE FEELING CONNECTED? SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AT HOME MAYBE ISOLATED WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THAT CONNECTION. SO EVEN LIKE US RIGHT NOW ON THE ZOOM LIKE I FEEL ENERGIZED. I FEEL LIKE I'M CONNECTING. I'M SEEING FACES.
IT'S NOT LIKE I'M SITTING AT HOME ALONE. THAT WAS THE NUMBER THING FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES VIRTUAL CONNECTING WITH CLASSMATES AND TEACHERS AND SEEING AND DOING WORK PROJECTS AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN SECOND YOU'LL SEE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WITH EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. SO WE STILL WANT TO HAVE FUN. WE WANT TO HAVE MORNING MEETINGS AND LUNCH ASSEMBLIES. YOU'LL SEE THE SITES ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON HAVING THOSE AS A PART OF THE CULTURE OF SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY LOVE THAT.
AND THEN IT WAS FUN TO SEE THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMPLETING CLASSWORK AND HOMEWORK THEY WERE ONLINE COMMUNICATING WITH PIERS. THAT KEPT THEM CONNECTED. WORKING WITH A GROUP.
[00:20:06]
SO THOSE ARE THE SURVEY RESULTS. NOW WE MOVE BACK TO SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN REFLECT ON THE FEEDBACK FROM STAKEHOLDERS TO GET INTO DISTANCE LEARNING ANYTHING JUST A FEW WEEKS.>> LIKE RUSCHELL SAID AT THE TIME WE MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT WE WERE GOING USE THAT INFORMATION FOR BUT THANKFULLY IT REALLY HELPED US STEER THE COURSES THAT WE PLANNED.
ONE OF THE THINGS TO CALL OUT WHEN SENATE BILL 98 CAME OUT WAS REQUIRE MINUTES FOR DISTANCE LEARNING. THESE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS THAT REALLY ALIGN WITH THINGS WE'VE BEEN HEARING FOR FEEDBACK. SO THE FIRST GRAY AREA I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THAT FROM DOUG.
HE'S GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT. SO JUST KNOW THAT WE'LL BE ADDRESSING THAT. THE OTHER COMPONENT IS THE RIGOROUS DISTANCE LEARNING.
THE CONCEPT IS ABOUT RIGOR. WE TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE PROVIDING ACCESS AND DEVICES TO OUR STUDENTS. SO WE HAVE ENOUGH CHROME BOOKS TO PROVIDE EACH STUDENT AND INTERNET ACCESS THROUGH A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. SO WE CONTINUE TO CONNECT WITH NEW FAMILIES AND THEN ALSO CHECKING IN WITH OUR CURRENT STUDENTS TO ENSURE THEIR TECH KNOWLEDGE GENTLEMEN IS WORKING FOR THEM. THE NEXT THING IS THE REQUIREMENT THAT DISTANCE LEARNING LOOKS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO IN CLASS INSTRUCTION CHALLENGING ASSIGNMENTS EKWI6 LENT TO IN PERSON CLASSES -- EQUIVALENT.
THIS WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WAS IMPORTANT. I THIS
>> YOU CAN SEE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS.
THE OTHER KEY COMPONENT THE DAILY LIVE IT SISTER ACTION WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
YOU -- LIVE INTERACTION. THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE HAVE ADDRESSED AND TALKED A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT. >> SO PER S.B. 98 WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO A LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN. INSTEAD OF THE L CAP. AND AS PART OF THAT WE HAVE TO OUTLINE OUR PLANS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING SPECIFICALLY AS WELL AS HOW WE'RE PROVIDING STUDENT SERVICES AN SUPPORTS. AND I THINK YOU'VE SEEN IT BUT WE'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RECEIVING INPUT FROM THE DISTANCE LEARNING AND A LOT OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE OVER THE SUMMER THAT'S BEEN DONE. THAT'S REALLY GOOD AS WE LOOK TO DEVELOP THIS PLAN OR CONTINUITY.
YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE AND SEEING MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN THE COMING WEEKS.
SO FOR DISTANCE LEARNING TOGETHER START OUT THE SCHOOL YEAR THIS FALL JUST KIND OF FROM A HIGHER LEVEL AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO MORE SPECIFICS AND TONIA AND DAN SHARING INFORMATION. IT INCLUDES DAILY REAL TIME INTERACTION WITH TEACHERS AND OTHER STAFF AND PIERS. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT TIME -- STAFF PEERS.
TEACHERS ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING DAILY OFFICE HOURS FOR STOOD DOESN'T AND FAMILY SUPPORT? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. THEY HAVE A SET TIME WHERE THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO TAKE PHONE CALLS E-MAILS MAYBE DO SOME PRERECORDED VIDEOS THAT THEY CAN HELP INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WITH NEEDS THAT THEY'RE REACHING OUT ABOUT.
BUT IT'S JUST THAT SET TIME EVERY DAY WHERE FAMILIES KNOW THEY CAN GET ACCESS AND SUPPORT FROM THE TEACHERS. AND THEN THE IDEA THAT AS WE TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL TRANSITION TO OTHER EDUCATION OPTIONS IN CLASS OPTION AND IF IN THE FUTURE WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL OPTION THE DISTANCE LEARNING AND THERE MAY BE SOME SORT OF SCHOOL CLOSURE OR DISTRICT WOOD CLOSURE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AND IT'S PART OF CONTINUITY WHATEVER THE DELIVERY IS DEVELOPING THAT YEAR LONG SYLLABUS IT TALKS ABOUT THE GRADE LEVEL OR STANDARDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE AS A PART OF THIS WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING TEACHERS ADDITIONAL TEACHER DAYS WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES AND IT'S OPTIONAL WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO DO SINK I DON'T KNOW NOW IS INSTRUCTION. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. AND THEN PROVIDING THOSE DIRECT
[00:25:04]
SERVICES TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES SO YOU'RE GOING TO THE HEAR THE TERM PRECOVID.SO BEFORE WE WENT INTO THE CLOSURE AND NOW THE RECEIVING SERVICES THAT THEY NEED AND IF THERE'S THINGS WE CAN ADDRESS AS THEY WORK THROUGH HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT? AND THEN SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS ACTIVITIES. INTERACTION WITH STAFF AND PIERCE THERE'S SPECIFIC TIME FOR STAFF TO CONNECT WITH STUDENTS FOREVER SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND SCHOOL CONNECTIVITY. SO WE UNDERSTAND DISTANCE LEARN SOMETHING NEW TO US AS A WHOLE AND SO WE ARE TEACHERS HAVE EXTRA PREP TIME SO THAT THEY CAN REALLY ENSURE THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING RIGOROUS CHALLENGING LESSONS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO CLS INSTRUCTION AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS SUPPORTS.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THE WE WANT TO CALL OUT I SAW SEVERAL OF SHARING THE INFORMATION.
OUR PRINCIPALS WERE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE OUT WELCOME BACK LETTERS TO LET FAMILIES KNOW ALL THE IN PERSON STUFF THE SCHOOL CAMPUSES. SO WHAT WE CREATED IS A BACKPACK TO TRY TO PROVIDE STREAMLINE ACCESS TO RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES.
SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A ONE STOP SHOP FOR EACH OF THE SCHOOL SITES.
SO IF YOU GO TO OUR MAIN WEBPAGE YOU'LL SEE A BANNER FOR ADDITIONAL BACKPACKS AND YOU CAN ACCESS IT ON THE SCHOOL SITES AS WELL. IF IT HAS THAT WELCOME BACK LETTER IT HAS KIND OF THE SCHEDULE WHAT IS THE COMPONENT OF A YOU HAD TOO DENT APPS DAY LOOKS LIKE? WHEN DO THEY START EACH DAY AND THEN SOME OTHER SUPPORTS RESOURCES CONTACTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT FAMILIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT.
SO I'M GOING TO HAND THIS OVER TO TONIA. SHE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
COMPONENTS OF THE EL HENT MEANT TAR ARE DISTANCE LEARNING. >> THANK YOU.
IT'S CERTAINLY MY PLEASURE TO SHARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHEDULE.
AS ANGELA SHARED ALL ADMINISTRATORS HAVE COMMUNICATED TO FAMILIES THIS SCHEDULE OVERVIEW AND THE SAMPLE DAILY SCHEDULE THAT YOU'LL SEE. IT'S LIKE 21 FOR ME AND SECONDARY WITH DAN. AND SAMPLE DAILY SCHEDULE WITH EACH SITE SPECIFIC START TIMES.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IN SLIDE 20 IS THE OVERVIEW AND I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION SPECIFICALLY TO DEFINING SINK I DON'T KNOW NOW IS AND ASINK KRO NOW IS -- AS WELL AS THE BREAK DOWN OF THE MINUTES FOR THE DAY. IF WE GO TO SLIDE 21 WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE NOW THIS IS A SAMPLE FOR A FIRST THREW 6TH GRADE. SO THE DAILY SAMPLES FOR.
THE K.K. ARE DIFFERENT AND THEN FOR SELF-CONTAINED 7 AND 8 THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT ADJUSTED BASED ON INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES -- AND THEN THE START TIMES WERE SENT OUT AS THEY ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH SITE. SO I WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE HERE IS THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE DAY AND I WANT TO START WITH CALLING OUT THAT MORNING MEETING.
YOU REMEMBER FROM THE SURVEY THAT RUSCHELL SHARED ONE OF THE PARTICULAR PIECES THAT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES CALLED OUT FOR SUCCESS IS BEING IN ALL CLASS ALL GROUP ZOOM AND GOOGLE MEETINGS. THAT'S HOW THE MORNING WILL BEGIN FOR ALL OF OUR SCHOLARS.
I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING TIME SPECIFICALLY SCHEDULED IN EACH DAY AS WELL AS OFFICE HOURS. AND THAT'S A PIECE THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FROM OUR LEARNING THING AND TAKE AWAY FROM THE FAMILY FEEDBACK ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF TEACHERS. SO THE OFFICE HOURS ARE SPECIFIED FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH. PLEASE KNOW THIS IS A DISTRICT WOOD SAMPLES. AND PRINCIPALS WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH OUR GRADE LEVEL ANNUAL CONTENT TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ACTUAL FLOW OF THE DAY IS BROKEN UP DEVELOPMENTALLY FOR EACH GRADE SPAN PAN. SO IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE AGE OF THE SCHOLARS. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AN TRANSITION INTO DAN TO TALK A
LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH ABOUT SECONDARY. >> SO SECONDARY ONE OF THE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM OUR SURVEY RESULTS IS THAT WE NEED A LOT MORE STRUCTURE WITHIN THE DAY. SO WITH THAT IN MIND OUR SECOND DEAR ARE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO
[00:30:02]
LOOK A LOT MORE LIKE OUR TRADITIONAL SCHEDULES JUST IN TIMES SO THE 6TH GRADE SCHEDULE.SOME KIDS ARE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING THAT SCHEDULE JUST IN TIME.
AND THEN SCHOOLS START THEIR REGULAR START TIMES. AND SO EACH OF THOSE PERIODS WILL CONSIST OF THAT TIME INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION SMALL GROUP.
SOME SUPPORT FOR STUDENT WITH IEP APPS AND THAT WILL HAPPEN THROUGH OUR PLATFORMS LIKE ZOOM OR GOOGLE. AND THEN UNLIKE THE SPRING WHERE A LOT OF THE SECONDARY WORK WAS REALLY INDEPENDENT WORK LIKE HOMEWORK THIS YEAR WILL BE MOSTLY STRUCTURED SINK I DON'T KNOW NOW IS -- BUT THERE WILL BE ASINK I DON'T KNOW NOW IS WORKING FOR KIDS TO DO WHICH WILL BE SUPPORTED BY OFFICE HOURS. AFTER CLASSES ARE OUT.
SO THAT'S FANTASTIC. ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE A SAMPLE SECONDARY SCHEDULE.
THERE'S SOME SAMPLE CLASSES IN THERE. SO YOU CAN SEE THE ADJUSTED TIMES THEY'RE STARTING AT THIS SAME TIME. WE'RE GOING THROUGH ALL THE KIDS TAKING CLASSES AND SO WE HAD TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE TIMES BUT WE WANT TO PROVIDE AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE FOR KNOW INSTRUCTION. WE LEARNED FROM OUR SURVEYS THAT WAS HIGHLY DESIRED BY OUR
STUDENTS. AND OUR TEACHERS AS WELL. >> DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN REALLY QUICKLY THE BLUE AND YELLOW WHY THOSE ARE HIGHLIGHTED DIFFERENTLY?
>> SURE. SO PART OF OUR MOU CALLS OUT THAT ON A DAILY BASIS OUR PERIODS WILL ALTERNATE IN THIS EXAMPLE. 60 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES.
YOU CAN SEE YOU GO FROM AN HOUR LONG PERIOD AND THEN THE NEXT PERIOD WILL BE A 30 MINUTE PERIOD. SO THAT ALTERNATES EVERY DAY. AND TO MAKES SURE THAT KIDS HAVE EQUAL TIME AMONGST ALL THE CLASSES OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR WE'RE BASICALLY FOLLOWING A 2 WEEK CYCLE. SO WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD ALTERNATE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. AND SO THAT'S TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE GETTING EQUAL TIMES FOR EACH OF THEIR 6 CLASSES OR HOWEVER MANY CLASSES THEY HAVE. OF COURSE WE HAVE AN ENTIRE
YEAR. >> I THINK TOO I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE REASON WE DID 60 MINUTES AND 30 MINUTES IS THE RECOGNITION THAT IF YOU SHORTENED ALL THE PERIOD EVERY DAY YOU'RE NOT REALLY GETTING THAT LEVEL OF RIGOROUS INSTRUCTION AN CLASSROOM ENGAGEMENT THAT YOU'RE AFFORDED IN A MORE TRADITIONAL SETTING. SO WE RECOGNIZED OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AMOUNT OF DAILY INSTRUCTION OVERALL BUT THE KEY THAT WE NEED THE MAKE SURE THAT WE REALLY ARE ABLE TO DIVE INTO THE CONTENT AND THEN A FOLLOW-UP ON THE NEXT DAY THAT'S A LITTLE SHORTER PERIOD. WE MAY NOT BE DOING ALL THE SAME ACTIVITIES BUT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS ESPECIALLY TO WORK ON COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS AND TIME FOR TEACHERS TO BE CHECKING IN LIVE WITH STUDENTS TO SUPPORT THEM. THAT'S THE RATIONAL BETWEEN THE ALTERNATING NUMBER OF MINUTES IN
THOSE PERIODS. >> SO ONE OF THE PIECES THAT WE KNOW IS ALSO REL I IMPORTANT FROM SOUR RAY IS RESULTS BUT OUR CMMITMENT AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS SOCIAL ISSUE AND SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS. WE LOOK TO CONTINUE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS. SO FOR EXAMPLE TONIA WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DAILY MEETINGS WE ARE STARTING OFF WITH. SO THERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES THERE.
WE WANT TO STAY CONNECTED AND PROVIDE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING FORTH THEM.
AND THEN AS WELL AS OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS WHICH ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR OUR KIDS. SO OUR COUNSELING STAFF AND SUPPORT PROVIDERS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SUPPORTS VIRTUALLY WITH GROUP COUNSELING AND INDIVIDUALLY COUNSELING AND SOCIAL WORK SERVICES. THOSE WILL ALL BE TAKING APPLAUSE VIRTUALLY THIS YEAR.
SO WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR PROCESS FOR HELPING TO IDENTIFY WHO THE STUD DON'T ARE WHO NEED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS -- STUDENTS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR SYSTEM
[00:35:07]
THAT IS PLANNED BY OUR SUPERVISOR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS WITH DISTRICTS SO WE CAN GIVE OUT SUPPORT TO KIDS WHO NEED IT. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT DO LOTS OF RESOURCE WITH TEEN HOTLINE TEXT LINE AND SUICIDE PREVENTION LINE AND RESOURCES ON OUR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE DISTRICT. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WE CONTINUE WITH THESE SERVICES TOKIDS BECAUSE IT'S HIGHLY NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITY. >> SO IF YOU'LL REMEMBER LAST SPRING WHEN THIS ALL STARTED WE PUT TOGETHER SOME YOU KNOW TRAINING RESOURCES KIND OF AN ORIENTATION TO DISTANCE LEARNING FOR OUR TANK STAFF. AND IF YOU GUYS WILL RECALL WE KIND OF DID A VERSION ONE POINT ZERO THAT A SMALL GROUP OF LEADERS KIND OF PUT TOGETHER AS WE WERE ALL FIGURING OUT WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE. WE SHARED WITH THE OUR TEACHING STAFF AND AT THE TIME STARTED ADDING THEIR OWN RESOURCES AND SHARING WITH EACH OTHER.
THAT WAS REALLY COOL TO WATCH. SO WE STILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO US.
WHICH STILL HAVE A LOT OF ONLINE PLATFORMS NOW SINCE YOU GUYS HAVE APPROVED THEM IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND WE SHARE THINGS LIKE OUR WEEKLY DISTANCE NEWS LETTERS TIPS AND RESOURCES TO TRY TO HELP AND MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT FOR TEACHERS.
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER WHILE IT'S BEEN VIRTUAL WE HAVE CONTINUED IMPORTANT WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. WE HAD A MATH INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS AND SOME OTHER TRAINING. THE ENGLISH LEARNER MASTER PLAN WAS RECENTLY AN APPROVED BY THE BOARD. WE'VE ALREADY HAD OUR ADMINISTRATORS DISTRICT WOOD TO TALK ABOUT THE PLAN ITSELF AND THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK IN THAT PLAN AND HOW WE START TO TAKE STEPS FORWARD WITH THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE SEVERAL SITES THAT WERE DOG TRAINING AS WELL.
NOW AS WE START OFF THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR AND DISTANCE LEARNING AS I MENTIONED BEFORE OUR TEACHERS ARE GOING TO HAVE 3 ADDITIONAL DAYS OF TEACHING DIRECTLY COLLABORATION AND PLANNING TIME IN ADDITION TO DAYS WE HAD IN PLACE FOR STAFF AT SITES BEING TOGETHER STAFF MEETINGS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE SITE LEVEL AND OUR NEW HIRE ORIENTATIONS.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ADOPTIONS FOR TEACHERS AS THEY START TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY
NEED SUPPORT WITH THIS FALL. >> WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION IT'S GOING TO LOOK DIFFERENT THAN THE SPRING. YOU THINK ABOUT TOO IN SPRING WE WERE OPEN ONE DAY AND THEN CLOSED THE NEXT. SO NOW WE CAN REALLY FOCUS ON OUR I.P. APPS AND THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE DRAFTED AND PROVIDE INCREASED DIRECT SERVICES AS WELL AS SOME PRETTY EXCITING NEW STAFF DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CURRICULUM AND SOME INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS. THE SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED BOTH SINK I DON'T KNOW NOW ISLY AND THEN WE'RE ALSO STILL -- SUPPORTING PUSH IN THROUGH ZOOM OF COURSE BUT ALSO SOME ONE ON ONE BREAK OUT ROOMS AND THEN FINALLY THEY'LL BE TARGETED SUPPLEMENTAL CURRICULUM FOR OUR STUDENTS.
>> SO FOR OUR FAMILIES AT HOME IN PARTICULAR OUR FAMILIES WHO HAVE A YOU HAD TOO DERNT WITH AN IEP WE WHAT I REALLY WANT TO GET ACROSS IS WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD -- SO SEE IF THERE IS A SAFEWAY TO BRING GROUPS OF STUDENTS ONTO CAMPUS AND GET THEM.
CAROL WHAT'S THE RIGHT TERM SO I DON'T USE THE WRONG LANGUAGE? >> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
BRINGING THE KIDS TOGETHER IN SMALL GROUPS. >> YES I DON'T WANT TO USE THE
WRONG WORD. >> YOU'RE NOT. >> IS IT SUPPLEMENTAL?
WHAT IS IT? >> NO IF WE BRING THE KIDS TOGETHER IT'S FOR LEARNING LOSS.
>> COOL THANK YOU. >> SO WE I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT OUR SS.
IS TEAM LEAD BY CAROL -- HAS PLANS IN PLACE AND WE'VE SET ASIDE THE ONE TIME MONEY THE STATE HAS GIVEN US FOR LEARNING LOSS TO BRING THAT FORWARD. MONDAY LATE IN THE DAY WE GOT ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE. YOU ASK QUESTIONS IT'S FOR
[00:40:08]
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES OR OTHERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO RECEIVE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION ON CAMPUS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAROL APPS TEAM HAS GOT A PLAN TOGETHER THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BRING FORWARD AND MONEY SET ASIDE.THE STATE SAYS MORE DETAILED GUIDANCE ON CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH PERMISSIBLE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES FOR SMALL SETS OF STUDENTS SUCH AS THOSE PROVIDED PURSUANT TO AN INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN OR IEP IS FORTHCOMING. SO WHAT I WANT THE PARENTS TO KNOW HAVE YOU GUYS THOUGHT ABOUT THAT? OH MY LORD YES.
SINCE LIKE MARCH. SINCE WE WERE CLOSED. NOT ONLY HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I THINK ONE PARENT TODAY SUGGESTED FIND THE LOOP HOLES IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
FIND THE LOOP HOLES. WE'VE BEEN AT THIS NOW FOR 6 MONTHS.
THE STATES DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF CLOSING LOOP HOLES RIGHT? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY WANT TO KEEP KIDS SAFE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE BASED ON DATA WHEN RE-OPENING.
SO I WANT TO POINT OUT TO STUDENTS WITH IEP NOT ONLY HAVE WE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT SINCE SCHOOL CLOSED. WE HAVE PLAN. WE HAVE ONE TIME MONEY SET AWAY.
IF THE STATES GIVES US GUIDANCE GET READY TO HEAR FROM US. IF THEY TELL US NO WE HAVE TO
FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE. >> FOR OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS WE ARE INCORPORATING DESIGNATED AND INTEGRATED INSTRUCTION INTO OUR DAILY SCHEDULES AND WE'RE INVESTIGATING MORE TARGETED PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTS FOR OUR NEWCOMER SCHOLARS AND THEN FINALLY WE'RE CONTINUING TO FIND INNOVATIVE WISCONSIN TO CONTINUE SUPPORTS FOR BI LIMB GALL STAFF AND INSTRUCTIONAL -- LINGUAL -- QUALITY INTERACTION BETWEEN STUDENTS SO THEY CAN SEE EACH OTHER IN DISTANCE LEARNING.
FINALLY FOR FOSTER AND HOMELESS YOUTH WE ARE PROVIDING TARGETED CHECK-INS WITH DAILY OFFICE HOURS AS WELL AS SUCCESS KITS TO SUPPORT STUDENT NEEDS. AND ARE CONTINUING OF COURSE WITH CHROME BOOKS DISTRIBUTIONS ELEMENTARY BEGIN TOMORROW AND TECHNOLOGY WITH CHROME BOOKS AND HOT SPOTS AND ALL MATERIALS. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY NOW TO BE ABLE TO SEND HOME CONSUMABLES AS
WELL. >> YOU'RE ON MUTE. >> THANK YOU.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. ONE OF THE PIECES THAT WE'VE BEEN SUPPORTING AND WE KNOW IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONNECTEDNESS IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH HAS BEEN ATHLETICS.
ATHLETICS STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING RETURNED ON JUNE 22ND.
AS OF RECENTLY 272 STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT HAVE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THE SPORTS CONDITIONING LOOKING FORWARD TO POTENTIALLY EXPANDING ON HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO CONNECT WITH KIDS. AND THE C.I. IF HAD RECENTLY PUT OUT THAT WE'RE STILL -- SCHEDULED FOR SEASONS OF SPORT SO THE REGULAR SEASONS OF SPORTS HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK AND DELAYED AND SHORTENED ABSOLUTELY. SO THAT WE CAN START IN DECEMBER. MOST OF OUR SPORTS WILL BE STARTING IN FEBRUARY INTO MARCH AS WE MOVE THROUGH THERE. THAT'S BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL CONDITIONING PROGRAMMING AND KIDS CONNECTING BACK TO THEIR SCHOOLS AND COACHES AS WELL AWES STUDENTS.
-- >> AND DAN NEXT WEEK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT PLAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE ABOUT GREATER CONNECTIVITY FOR OUR KIDS IN THE FALL RIGHT?
>> YES, SIR. >> COOL. HE'S NEWLY PROMOTED.
HE CALLS ME SIR. PRETTY SOON IT WILL BE BACK TO EVERYONE ELSE.
BUT I APPRECIATE IT. >> WE DEFINITELY WANT TO LEVERAGE HOW TO CONNECT THE KIDS. SO SPEAKING MORE TO THAT PROVIDING THOSE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS TO FAMILIES AND STUDENTS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US.
AND SO WE'VE GOT SKOOIT ACTIVITIES MENTORING MISSOURI TRAM STAFF ON TEEN TEES FOR OUR KIDS. ADDITIONAL CONNECTION POINTS AND FAMILIES AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCE. SO FOR EXAMPLE AFTER SCHOOL MENTORING PROGRAMS WHETHER IT'S
[00:45:05]
100 BLACK MEN OR IMPROVE YOUR TOMORROW. THOSE WILL BE CONTINUING.WE SENT OUT COMMUNICATION TO FAMILIES FOR HOW THEY CAN GET INVOLVED IN THOSE PIECES AND IN ADDITION TO THAT WE ARE WORKING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BUILD ON WHAT WE'VE STARTED IN THE SPRING WITH VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES. YOU KNOW WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? MAINTAIN WHAT I THINK WE'RE REALLY STRONG AT WHICH IS MAINTAINING CONNECTIONS TO THE
CAMPUSES AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN CONNECTIONS. >> SO THAT IS AN UPDATE ON DISTANCE LEARNING KIND OF AN OVERVIEW TO GIVE YOU A BETTR IDEA OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE'RE TRYING TO EFFECT DOES ON SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS NOT JUST WITH THE ACADEMIC NEEDS BUT WITH ALL THE OTHER CONNECTIONS WE HAVE ON CAMPUS. SO YOU LET US KNOW WHAT
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >> TRUSTEES I'LL START WITH TRUSTEE DO YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS? >> RUSCHELL YOU CAN BUMP OFF. >> YOU'RE ON MUTE AGAIN SEW.
>> OK. THERE WE ARE. ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GET TO THE QUESTIONS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE YELLOW BLUE I'M LOOKING FOR DAN HERE. OH THERE YOU ARE.
HEY. >> HEY. >> SO I REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO SEE THIS WAS I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF MINUTES AND I APPRECIATE THE ATTEMPT TO TRY TO GET THE NUMBER OF MINUTES. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT KIDS WHO STRUGGLE AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME. SO IF I AM A KID IN ALGEBRA AND I'M ON THAT SCHEDULE AND IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME I KNOW THAT THERE ARE OFFICE HOURS BUT THROUGH THE OFFICE HOURS IF YOU GOT A TEACHER IF I'M A TEACHER AND I'M TEACHING ALGEBRA HOW IS IT THAT I'M GOING TO GET MY EQUAL TIME SO THAT I DON'T FAIL THAT CLASS? YOU KNOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL AMOUNT OF TIME. IT'S WHAT THE KIDS ARE
ACCUSTOMED TO. >> THAT IS A FANTASTIC -- SO ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK WE CAN USE OUR TEACHER PLANNING TIME TEACHER PLANNING DAYS FOR IS TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TEACHERS WITH MULTIPLE PREP PERIODS SINCE WE'RE ALIGNED WITH OUR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION HOW CAN WE USE OR TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATE WITH TEACHERS AND SAY HEY I'M GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON TRIGONOMETRY TODAY BUT HOWEVER MS. SO AND SO OVER HERE IS STILL TEACHING THE SAME EXACT THING. YOU CAN CHECK INTO THEIR OFFICE HOURS TO GET ADDITIONAL HELP THERE. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY WE'RE LOOKING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN STILL INCORPORATE AS A SCHOOL CONNECTED OUR PROGRAMS LIKE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY WHERE THEY'RE RUNNING PEER TUTORING TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND UPPER CLASS MEN ARE HELPING UNDER CLASS MEN OR PIERCE WITH CLASSES THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT COLLABORATION HOW WE CAN SPREAD THE SUPPORTS SO THE KIDS CAN ACCESS THEM WHETHER IT'S WITH NARY OWN TEACHER OR ANOTHER TEACHER THAT CAN HELP THEM AT
THAT SAME TIME. >> OK. THAT'S A BIG CONCERN OF MOON.
YOU KNOW BECAUSE AND HERE'S WITH WHY I THINK IT'S CONCERNING BECAUSE IT'S COMPOUNDED.
BECAUSE IN MARCH WHEN WE WENT TO DISTANCE LEARNING WE DON'T KNOW REALLY WHAT A DID YOU KNOW WASN'T EXPOSED TO IN TERMS OF BECAUSE CLASSES AIR ARE BY TEACHER.
SO WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE LEARNING LOSS WAS FROM THAT PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL THE END OF JUNE. AND WHICH LEADS TO MY NEXT QUESTION IS THAT HOW IS IT THAT SCHOOL WILL BEGIN WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT THE STUDENTS HAVE NOT DID NOT GET IN THE PREVIOUS SEMESTER? I MEAN PREVIOUS YEAR? SO IF I'M IN ALGEBRA 2 OR SPANISH 2 OR SPANISH 3 HOW IS IT YOU KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO KNOW AS A TEACHER?
[00:50:08]
BY WHAT MEANS. >> I WOULD SAY THAT COMMON PRACTICES HAS BEEN PREASSESSMENTS THAT WE'VE USED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KIDS KNOW AND DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THE PREASSESSMENTS ARE GOING TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE TO IDENTIFY -- GAPS AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO FILL THOSE GAPS IN LEARNING OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. HOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAILOR THEIR CLASSES TO SHARE GAPS BASED ON THEY'RE EXPERIENCE. AND SO I THINK THOSE PREASSESSMENTS AND DIFFER RAIN SHY AREA SHINS AND SUPPORT ARE GOING TO BE CRUCIAL IS THIS YEAR
MORE THAN THEY EVER HAVE BEEN. >> SO I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE CRUCIAL SO I AM CORRECT THEN IN BELIEVING THAT ALL OF THE CLASSES EVERY TEACHER WILL RE-ASSESS WHAT THIS STUDENT GET
THE PREVIOUS YEAR. >> NO THAT'S NOT ACCURATE. AND IT'S NOT ACCURATE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. FIRST OF ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS WE CAN'T EYES THE WORD ALL.
I THINK I HEARD DAN TALK ABOUT IT'S BEEN A STANDARD PRACTICE THAT A NUMBER OF TEACHER DO ASSESS I MEAN A NUMBER TO GET A SENSE WHERE THEIR KIDS ARE YOU KNOW AND THEN WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIFTH GUR OUT AND THAT'S WHY WE GIVE THEM MORE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH ADMINISTRATORS IS HOW NOT TO GET STUCK IN HEY MY KIDS ARE BEHIND X AMOUNT OF WEEKS OR X AMOUNT OF STANDARDS AND STAY THERE. THAT'S OLD SCHOOL IT NEVER WORKED.
IT'S AUCHL. IT'S WHEN YOU WALK INTO A FIRST GRADE CLASS AND YOU SEE THEM DOING KINDER STUFF. WHAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE IS CIRCULAR.
WE'RE BOTH GOING TO HAVE TO PULL STUDENTS FORWARD AND HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GO BACK AND CATCH THEM UP AND THEN PULL THEM FORWARD. SO WE HAVE THAT BUILT IN WITH THE REMEDIATION TIME IN OUR ELEMENTARY SCHEDULES. WE HAVE THAT BUILT IN WITH OFFICE HOURS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS TO CONNECT WITH STUDENTS DURING OFFICE HOURS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PARENTS. WHEN KIDS ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE THE KIDS.
IT WILL BE THE STUDENTS THAT TEACHERS ARE TALKING TO MOST IN OFFICE HOURS.
THAT'S WHERE TEACHERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LIKE AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE BOOKS AND STUDIES THAT HAVE EXISTED FOR YEARS THAT YOU TAKE 5 OR 10 MINUTES TO START UP YOUR CLASS AND LET CLASSES END 5 OR 10 MINUTES EARLY. HOW MANY RESTROOMS TRUSTEES BEEN ON CAMPUSES AND SEEN KIDS A COUPLE OF US DID VISIT AND KIDS WOULD BE STANDING BY THE DOOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT ENDED RIGHT? WE'VE GOT TO CLEAN THAT UP. NOW VIRTUALLY CLEAN IT UP.
IF WE FIX THOSE LOST INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES AND GET MORE FOCUS THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LEARN TO KNOW WHERE KIDS ARE AND START FROM WHERE THEY ARE KEEP MOVING THEM FORWARD AN USE IN OUR SCHEDULES BOTH IN SECONDARY AND ELEMENT TAR ARE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND FULL THEM FORWARD -- ELEMENTARY. YOOCHG THE FIRST LEVEL WILL BE ASSESSING AND -- I DON'T THINK I THINK IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE TEACHERS ASSESS STUDENTS WHEN THE YEAR STARTED AND GET A SENSE WHERE THEY ARE AND THAT STANDARD PRACTICE WILL CONTINUE? YES? OK COOL. I WANTED ALL CLASSES I WAS LIKE I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK WE'RE MANDATING LIKE AN ART ONE ASSESSMENT OR SOMETHING.
>> YEAH. I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT CLASSES THAT YOU KNOW BUILD UPON SKILLS.
AND SO THAT'S MY CONCERN AS A TRUSTEE BECAUSE WHEN I HEAR PARENTS SAYING MY CHILD IS IN THIS CLASS. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO LEARN EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO LEARN IN THE PREVIOUS CLASS SO WHAT'S MY CHILD'S EXPERIENCE GOING TO BE? SO YOU'RE GIVING ME WAYS IN WHICH I COULD RESPOND TO PARENTS WHO POSE THAT QUESTION TO ME.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WANT TO BE REALLY CONFIDENT THAT THERE IS THE STANDARD PRACTICE OF ASSESSING FOR EXAMPLE IN CONTENT AREAS THAT BUILD UPON SKILLS AND THAT FOUNDATION OF SKILLS IS NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWARD. TAT'S WHERE MY CONCERN WAS. ANYWAY I ALSO JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU KNOW THANK YOU FOR THE SCHEDULE FOR THE ELEMENTARY GRADES.
I LOVE THE MORNING MEETINGS. I THINK THAT'S SO CRITICAL DURING THIS TIME TO REALLY BRING
[00:55:06]
THE KIDS TOGETHER AND TO GET THEM ON THE SAME PAGE AND GET THEM TO KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMEONE THERE FOR THEM. I JUST THINK THERE'S REAL VALUE AND ANYWAY THANK YOU.>> TRUSTEE THANK YOU. TRUSTEE GRANT DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> TRUSTEE. >> I'M LOOKING MORE FOR AFFIRMATION.
FIRST I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT MUTED. SO DAN AND TONIA SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE YOU. DAN OBVIOUSLY I AM DISAPPOINTED WE CAN'T GO OUT FRIDAY NIGHTS IN THE FALL BUT MAYBE WE CAN DO THAT IN THE WINTER. WHAT I'M SEEING IN THIS PRESIDENT SENT TAKE SHIN AND MATERIALS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO GOOD ABOUT SENDING US.
I KNOW THE SUPERINTENDENT TALKED ABOUT THE 2 A.M.E. MEALS AND HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GO THROUGH THEM SOME DAYS WHAT I SEE ABOUT THESE SCHEDULES THERE'S GOING TO BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERY TEACHER
>> NO QUESTIONS. TANK YOU. >> I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS I'M NOT SURE I'M LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER BUT MORE OF A FOLLOW-UP.
WE KNOW AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL OUR PARENTS LOOK TO WE INVOLVED SO HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL PARENT VOLUNTEERS THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENT THAT ARE FINGER CHECKED WHO WOULD NORMALLY COME IN AND VOLUNTEER IN THE CLASSROOM? HOW DO WE VOLUNTEER ON ZOOM? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE BUT WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE AND HOW WE COULD UTILIZE THIS? I'M ALSO WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY THAT EACH OF OUR SITES WE KNOW WE HAVE A NEED I THINK POPULATION. WE KNOW OUR STUDENT MAY NOT HAVE
[01:00:04]
THE MATERIALS THAT THEY NEED. THEY MIGHT HAVE THE CHROME BOOK BUT DO THEY HAVE SUPPLIES THEY NEED? HOW CAN WE LET OUR GREATER PUBLIC KNOW OR OUR COMMUNITY THAT SUPPLIES AND DONATIONS ARE STILL NEEDED SO THAT OUR SITES WHO KNOW THEIR STUDENTS BEST CAN HAVE AMPLE YOU KNOW EXTRA STUFF TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT TO STUDENTS WHO NEED IT.SO AND THEN MAYBE YOU CAN HELP OUT ON THIS ONE SUPERINTENDENT EVANS.
HOW WILL PARENTS BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON HOW DISTANCE LEARNING IS GOING?
. >> WELL WE'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING SOME LIKE ALMOST IF YOU WILL QUALITY CONTROL SURVEYS BUT WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO GET THE SCHOOL YEAR UP AND GOING.
SO I MEAN THE THINGS THAT YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT ARE ALL WONDERFUL AND PROBABLY REQUIRED INITIAL BODIES TO GET IT DONE AND COORDINATED. HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE A PARENT WHO ISN'T FINGER PRINTED DOESN'T GET ONLINE AND DO AINAPPROPRIATE THINGS.
NOT JUST A PARENT. HOW DO WE GET SUPPLIES TO KIDS? I WILL TELL YOU THIS.
IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THOUGH WE DO HAVE NEEDY FAMILIES AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT I THINK ANGELA WILL BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU IN A LITTLE BIT THEY ALSO SAY THAT THIS WILL BE THE HOTTEST BACK TO SCHOOL YEAR IN THE COMBINATION SHIP OF LAPTOPS AND COMMUTERS AND SUPPLIES PROBABLY SHIPPED TO THE HOMES BY AMAZON OR PICKED UP. SO I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR YOU BECAUSE I DON'T I'LL BE HONEST I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE.
I THINK WE CAN DO OUR BEST. I KNOW THERE'S BACKPACKS. I'LL LET ANGELA TALK.
>> SO OUR SITES ARE PUTTING TOGETHER SOME KITS I THINK YOU HEARD SOME OF THOSE REFERENCED TOGETHER KITS AND PACKETS THAT WHEN FAMILIES ARE COMING TO PICK UP TEXT BOOKS THEY CAN ALSO PICK UP SOME OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE KIND OF THE KNOWNS THAT STUDENTS NEED TO USE.
THE MORE TANGIBLE THINGS ART SUPPLIES AND OTHER RESOURCES THEY CAN GET HANDWRITING AND PRINTING AND ALL OF THAT. SO THOSE ARE PART OF THE DAYS WHERE FAMILIES ARE COMING TO
PICKUP. RESOURCES. >> SO BASICALLY PARENTS THAT WANT TO HELP NEED TO BUY SUPPLIES AND DROP THEM OFF AT THE SCHOOL.
>> COMMUNICATE WITH THE VIRTUAL OFFICE ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.
>> WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT PEOPLE STANDING IN THE OFFICE AND HANDING THINGS OFF IN THIS COVID ENVIRONMENT. I MEAN IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HELP LIKE LIBRARY BOOKS. ONCE YOU CHECK OUT THE BOOK AND GET IT BACK YOU HAVE TO ISOLATE
THE BOOKS. >> YEAH TAKE IT OUT OF CIRCULATION AND LET IT IS AND
THEN LOOK AT GETTING IT BACK OUT THERE. >> SO IF PARENTS WERE TO DROP OFF MATERIALS AT A PHYSICAL OFFICE TOMORROW FIRST OF ALL THERE MIGHT NOT BE ONE.
SECOND IT INCREASES THE CHANGE AND RISK OF COVID. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STAFF TO LIKE START DOING THAT. SO WE'RE DOING OUR BEST WITH THINGS TOGETHER.
WHEN I DROVE IN TODAY WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER KITS FOR SCHOOL THE ROLL UP DOOR FROM WHAT USED TO BE WHICH CALIFORNIA STORM SPACE WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF OUR STORAGE BUILDING IS FOR US. OUR WAREHOUSE IS USING IT AND DOING GREAT THINGS.
WE'RE PROBABLY DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN DO AND OF COURSE AS ALWAYS IF A FAMILY REACHES OUT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AS SOME HAVE SAID I NEED A DESK I NEED SUPPLIES.
WE'LL GET IT TO THEM. THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. THERE'S MONEY THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE AT THE BOARD PUTS IN FOR SUPPLIES EVER YEAR AND IT DOES NOT CUT.
THEY'RE SO APPRECIATIVE. WE'LL GET KIDS WHAT THEY NEED IF PARENTS REACH OUT AND LET US
KNOW. >> PERFECT. AND THEN I JUST WANT TO SAY AS A PARENT THAT PART OF THE PACKET THAT PARENTS ARE GOING TO GET AND I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ELEMENTARY PARENTS THAT WE KNOW KIND OF WHAT OUR STUDENT OUR SCHOLAR IS SUPPOSED TO LEARN OVER THE YEAR. WHAT US SHE COULD BE LEARNING THINGS AND I HAVE NO IDEA THAT'S FIRST DAY STANDARD AND NOT SECOND GRADE STANDARD OR IN FIRST GRADE SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW THINGS BUT BECAUSE I'M NOT PROFICIENT AND WHAT IS REQUIRED AND SET FORTH BY THE DEPARTMENT
[01:05:01]
OF EDUCATION WHICH I ASSUME 90% OF OUR PARENTS ARE NOT PROFICIENT IN THAT I THINK IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL KNOWING WE GET A STANDARD CHECK OFF SO PARENTS WHO WANT TO KNOW CAN WORK WITH THEIR CHILD IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE IN ALIGNMENT AND THERE ISN'T THAT LEARNING LOSS. BECAUSE I DISCOVERED SOME LEARNING LOSS IN MY OWN CHILD.LEARNING THAT AND WORKING ON THAT OVER THE SUMMER WAS VERY HELPFUL.
MANY PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR THAT. SO TRUSTEES ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL THEN I WANT TO THANK STAFF SO MUCH FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND WORKING ON THIS AND NOW MOVE ONTO PRESENTATION B WHICH IS OUR START OF SCHOOLS UPDATE WITH
[XII.b. Start of Schools Update]
ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT DOUG. YOU'RE ON. >> THANK YOU.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT ARE WATCHING APPRECIATE YOU GUYS TAKING THE TIME TO WATCH.
THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH QUICKLY AS WE GO THROUGH THIS BECAUSE ANGELA AND THE TEAM SPOKE TO THEM BUT IT'S GOOD THEY'RE IN THIS PRESIDENT SEPTEMBER TAKE SHIN IN CASE SOMEONE LOOKS AT THIS PRESIDENT SENT TAKE SHIN WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION -- SO FOR THIS YEAR ACTIONS CONTINUES TO BE UNDER WAY.
WE'VE TACKED ABOUT IT TONIGHT. A FEW TIMES ALREADY BUT A LOT OF ACTION IS HAPPENING.
UNPRECEDENTED START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR. WHILE THIS START OF SCHOOL PRESENTATION IS UNLIKE ANY I'VE DONE IN THE LAST 9 OR 10 YEARS IT IS ACTUALLY NICE TO DO THE START OF SCHOOL PRESENTATION. IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST NORMAL THING I'VE DONE.
SO A LOT OF WORK IS HAPPENING AS CHRIS JUST MENTIONED. I'M SORRY.
I DON'T HAVE THE CONTROLS. A COUPLE OBJECTIVES TONIGHT THIS IS PART ONE.
WE WILL BE BACK PLANNING TO BE BACK ON THE 26 WHICH IS THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL.
SO WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH STAFFING AND ENROLLMENT.
SOME OF THE LOGISTICS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MEAL SERVICE AND HANDING OUT BOOKS.
A FEW PROGRAM UPDATES AND SHOW YOU WHERE WE ARE IN FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS AS PROJECTS CONTINUE AND WHY WE'RE CONTINUING PROJECTS. WE DO EXPECT TO SERVE 17,000 STUDENTS FROM PRESCHOOL UP THROUGH OUR ADULT PRO TRAMS THIS YEAR.
IT'S BEHIND COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. HOWEVER WHEN YOU COMPARE IT WE'RE DOING BETTER LAST YEAR. SO DAY FOR DAY WE'RE NOT THERE YET BUT WHEN YOU FIGURE A LOT OF PEOPLE REGISTER OR ENROLL WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT'S WHAT THE TEAM HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT. WE'RE AHEAD OF THAT. WE'RE MONITORING IT DAILY AND SEE WHERE IT GOES AND WE'LL MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS. WITH THAT NUMBER THE BULK OF OUR PROJECTIONS BEING LOW IS STILL IN KINDERGARTEN. THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT KINDERGARTNERS ARE COMPLETELY NEW TO THE DISTRICT IN MOST CASES.
AND IN PRESCHOOL WE HAVE 105 CASES LEFT. WE'VE SEEN QUITE A BIT OF ENROLLMENT DPROETH OF THE LAST WHILE HERE AND WE'RE -- GROWTH AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO PUSH THAT AS YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE. WE HAVE MARK DEATH CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE THAT P.K. IS OPEN AND OUR EARLY LEARNING SOMETHING OPEN.
WE HAVE PLANS TO DO THINGS LIKE DOOR HANGERS BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES RIGHT NOW GOING DOOR TO DOOR IS NOT ADVISED SO WE'RE GOING TO GET THE WORD OUT. I TALKED WITH THE TEAM.
WE THINK BASED ON LAST YEAR WE WILL BE ABLE TO FILL THE LAST SLOTS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
AS YOU ARE AWARE WE DO OPERATE A CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AND PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT ARE CLOSED MUST STILL PROVIDE DISTANCE LEARNING. WE'RE PLANNING TO DO THAT.
THERE'S A PLAN WITH THEM WITH TECHNOLOGY AS WELL AND THEY'RE WORK ONG THAT AS WE SPEAK.
AND WE EXPECT ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY ROUNDS OF GUIDANCE TO COME OUT REGARDING PRESCHOOL. SO I'M SURE IT'S IMMANENT.
[01:10:04]
>> EXPECT MULTIPLE ROUNDS. >> FOR HIM SAIGS SHIN UPDATE CAROL PROVIDED ME THE LATEST NUMBERS RECENTLY TODAY. WE HAVE 475 STUDENT WHO ARE STILL NOT COMPLETE WITH THEIR ILL ZIGS SHINS. YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN THERE OF WHAT THEY NEED.
OUR NEXT STEPS ARE CLEAR IMMUNIZATION SHIP RECORDS WITH THE REGISTRY ALSO WE HAVE OUR SHOT CLINIC. AN IT IS NOW OPEN. IT'S BEEN OPEN FOR A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S OPEN MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. AT THE BIG ROOM 1931 ARENA
BOULEVARD. IT'S GOOD IT IS OPEN. >> THAT'S TOTALLY FREE RIGHT?
RIGHT. >> THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING RIGHT NOW.
CAROL, I BELIEVE IT'S ALL TREE RIGHT? >> IT'S FREE.
>> SO PARENTS IF YOU'VE GOTTEN THE MESSAGE YOU STILL NEED ILL ZIGS SHINS YOU STILL DO AND -- ILL ZIGS SHINS AND WE HAVE THAT CLINIC OPEN. BRING A MASK.
WE HAVE SOCIALLY DISTANCED SPACES SET UP FOR YOU AND YOU CAN COME IN AND YOUR CHILD CAN GET THEIR SHOTS OR WHATEVER ELSE THEY NEED. AND THEN YOU'LL BE IN AND OUT
QUICKLY AND SAFELY. >> WHAT ARE THEIR HOURS? MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
>> THAT'S A GOOD WHICH. IS IT ON THE NEXT SLIDE, CAROL? >> NO THE HOURS AREN'T ON THERE.
IT IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. >> OK. PERFECT.
>> WHAT ARE THE HOURS CAROL? >> IT'S ON THE WEBSITE. I DON'T WANT TO MISQUOTE IT.
>> ADDITIONALLY CAROL SHARED TODAY THAT WE HAVE THE ADDITION OF A FREE FLU CLINIC FOR STAFF FAMILIES AND STUDENTS THAT'S COMING THIS FALL IN COLLABORATION WITH REMIND ME OF
THAT DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. >> COME ON U DOUG. >> -- COME ON DOUG.
>> WE JUST LEARNED THAT TODAY. THAT'S GREAT. OUR TESTING INFORMATION CAROL DO
YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS? >> SO WE HAVE THEY'RE WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH SACRAMENTO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE A COVE ANY 19 TESTING CLINIC ONE DAY A WEEK.
TUESDAY MORNINGS FROM 8-9. SO FAR WE HAVE TAKEN IN THE REQUEST FROM 3,300 COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND WE HAVE COMPLETED 852. TESTED 852 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AGES 2 AND UP. WE ARE WORKING WITH STEM EXPRESS.
THERE WAS A GLITCH THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MATERIALS TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY TESTING CENTERS OPEN. THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS STEPPED IN AND HELPED US.
WE WERE LUCKY WE NEVER HAD TO STEP DOWN. NOW STEM EXPRESS IS THE NEW LAB.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING REALLY AN AMAZING JOB. THE TURNAROUND TIME IS 72 HOURS AND THERE IS DOUBLED OUR TESTING CAPACITY. WE KNOW HAVE 200 APPOINTMENTS
INSTEAD OF 100 APPOINTMENTS EACH WEEK. >> I GOT CLARIFY BECAUSE WE GET WE'RE LIVING THIS EVERY DAY. WHEN WE SAY WHEN WE WANT YOU TO KNOW NATOMAS IS A PARTNER WITH PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SO -- WE HAVE OFFERED TO VOLUNTEER OUR STAFF TIME AS A DISTRICT TO HELP STAFF THIS BUT IT'S REALLY AN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DOING THE TESTING AND DOING THE TESTING RESULTS. WE'RE HELPING CULL THE NEGATIVE TESTS.
ARE WE ROLLING INTO THE POSE GIVES TOO? ARE WE DOING THE POSITIVE CALLS?
>> WHEN STEM EXPRESS TOOK OVER THEY WERE DOING THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE.
OUR STAFF WAS DOING IT ALL BEFORE THEN. >> SO WE PARTNERED WITH SACK COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH. I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS IS NOT AN NATOMAS UNIFIED TESTING PROCESS YOU KNOW. OUR EMPLOYEES AREN'T THE ONES WITH THE GIANT Q TIPS PROBING PARTS OF YOUR BRAIN RIGHT PRESIDENT KAPLAN BUT TO SEE IF YOU'RE NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE.
BUT WE HAVE OFFERED THIS FREE OF CHARGE. WE DO NOT CHARGE SACK COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH FOR THE FACILITIES THANK YOU BOARD. WE DON'T CHARGE SACRAMENTO PUBLIC HEALTH FOR THE ON TIME STAFF. THANK YOU STAFF TOMORROW MAKE SURE THIS IS PROVIDED FOR OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. WHEN WE USE THE WE I THINK MY
[01:15:01]
PARENT USED TO SAY THE ROYAL WE? WE AREN'T THE MANAGERS AND CHIEF OF THIS PROCESS.BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE TO GET CONFUSED. IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WHEN WE OPENED A HEALTH CENTER A FEW YEARS AGO THAT WE WOULD BE A
NOTHING TO DO A COUNTY WHEEL LIKE HELPING SOLVE A PANDEMIC. >> OUR STAFFING UPDATE OUR SOCIAL WORKERS DID NOT MAKE IT ONTO THIS LIST. I JUST REALIZED THIS AND WE ARE HIRING 8 SOCIAL WORKERS. WE ALREADY HAVE 2. WE'LL HAVE ONE IN EVERY ELEMENTARY SITE IN ADDITIONAL TO ONE ADDITIONAL. S I WILL MAKE SURE THAT'S UPDATED AND ON THERE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT AND KNOW THAT. IF THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A JOB THEY CAN SEE THAT. WE'RE STILL HIRING IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND THAT HAPPENS.
A LOT OF THESE WE ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE INTERVIEWED OR READY TO GO BUT UNTIL THEY SOON WE DON'T PUT THEM ON. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S UP-TO-DATE.
>> SO THE SOCIAL WORKERS. I WANT TO CLARIFY THE 2 WE HAVE ARE THE LOUISIANA MANAGER
POSITIONS AND THERE ARE ADDITIONAL 7-1 FOR OUR SPECIAL. >> THANK YOU.
SO SOME LOGISTICS FOLLOWING-UP WHERE WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT SAFELY EXTENSIVE SAFETY WORK AND PREP HAS BEEN TAKING APPLAUSE LIKE SUPERINTENDENT SAID. WE SET UP A SECOND WAREHOUSE JUST FOR ALL THE SUPPLIES AND THINGS WE'VE ORDERED AND WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE TRACKING SHEET NOW THAT'S SCHOOL BY SCHOOL JUST TALK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SOON IN. THEY CAN TAKE THEIR TEMPERATURE WHICH ROOMS NEED TO BE CLEANED DAILY WHICH WERE VISITED BY STAFF WITH THE MASKS.
HOW MANY MASKS WE HAVE. HOW MANY HAND SANITIZER ALL THAT STUFF.
WE CAN PROBABLY DO A MUCH LONGER EXTENSIVE PRESENTATION ON THAT ALONE.
WE'LL FOLLOW-UP WITH THAT BUT FOR TODAY I WANT YOU KNOW A LOT OF THAT WORK IS HAPPENING AT ALL THE SITES AS WELL AS OUR DISTRICT OFFICES AS WELL AS VIDEOS BEING MADE.
AND MOVING INTO OUR DIGITAL BACKPACK SINCE THIS IS ALREADY SHARED I WON'T ELABORATE ON IT OTHER THAN SAYING OUR DIGITAL BACKPACKS ARE UP. GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
EACH SCHOOL HAS AN ICON LIKE THIS AND YOU CAN GET TO THIS BY EITHER CLICKING ONTO THE DIFFERENT PAGE THE BANNER OR ANY OF THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND YOU CAN CLICK ON THE BACKPACK.
IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT SLIDE WHICH SHOWS YOU JUST SOME OF THE THINGS.
I COULDN'T PUT THEM ALL ON THERE WITHOUT ME NEEDING A MICRO SCOPE.
THIS IS 2 OF THE SECTIONS ON THERE. THERE'S MORE.
THE THINGS LIKE THE CALENDARS AND THE DAILY SCHEDULES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST PRESENTATION THOSE ARE ON THERE FROM EACH SCHOOL. PRINCIPALS WROTE A LETTER.
IT'S ON THERE THE WELCOME BACK LETTER. INFORMATION THEY NEED.
THERE'S INFORMATION ON THERE FOR SERVICE ABOUT THE MEALS AND HOW TO ACCESS MEAL SERVICE AND ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL THINGS ON THERE. AND THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS IS THEY'RE ALL GOING TO THIS ONE SPOT. WE WANTED ONE SPOTLIGHT ANGELA SAID IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS AND CONTINUE TO USE TO GET US THROUGH THE START OF SCHOOLS. SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD APPLAUSE FOR ALL THAT TO HAPPEN.
AS WE SAID PRINCIPALS HAVE MESSAGED OUT TO THEIR FAMILIES IN ADDITION TO BEING IN THE DIGITAL BACKPACKS. SO SOME LOGISTICS THERE ARE SOME PREREQUIREMENTS.
THIS WAS SHOWN EARLIER. I'M GOING TO GO INTO THESE NOW. CAN YOU 2 TO THE NEXT SLIDE? OUR SUMMER MEALS. SUMMER MEALS CONTINUE EVEN THOUGH MP3 HAS STARTED WESTLAKE AND OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS START NEXT WEEK THE SUMMER MEALS STILL CONTINUE FOR ALL STUDENTS ANYONE 18 AND YOUNGER AT THE SITES THAT THEY'RE AT IT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE UNTIL AUGUST 26TH.
THAT'S THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER MEALS. AFTER THAT WE MOVE INTO MEALS DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR WHICH IS THE NEXT SLIDE. ONCE SCHOOL STARTS BREAKFAST AND LUNCH WILL BE SERVED THROUGH MOBILE MEAL SERVICE JUST LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
SO PEOPLE CAN DRIVE-THROUGH. IT WILL BE SERVED AT 11:30 TO 12:30 DAILY.
NOW PARENTS ARE ALSO NOW ALLOWED THE PICKUP MEALS ON BEHALF OF THEIR STUDENTS.
SO WE DON'T EXPECT STUDENTS TO GO THERE AND FIGURE THAT OUT ON THEIR OWN.
[01:20:03]
SUPPER AND SNACK WILL BE AVAILABLE. IT'S BASED ON AREA ELIGIBILITY.WELL WILL OFFER SOMETHING WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AS A LATE AFTERNOON MEAL SERVICE PICKUP.
WE REALIZE THAT PARENTS CAN'T GET THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING.
STUDENT MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO WALK TO THE SCHOOL TO PICK UP LUNCH DURING THAT TIME BOOS THEY COULDN'T GET THERE AND BACK IN TIME AND GET TO OFFICE HOURS. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE YOU REALIZE THAT WE'VE SET UP 5 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO GO BETWEEN 5 AND 6 P.M. EACH NIGHT AND PICK UP A BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FOR THE NEXT DAY.
SO YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY THAT WILL WORK BETWEEN THE REGULAR LUNCH DURING THE DAY SERVICE AND THEN THESE 5 EVENING LOCATIONS THAT GIVES FAMILIES 2 OPTIONS TO TRY TO MAKE IT WORK INTO THEIR SCHEDULE. WE PICKED THE LOCATIONS HERE. TWO RIVERS AND DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN AREA. SOUTHERN MOST AREA OF THE DISTRICT.
>> DOUG LET'S NOT READ EVERY SCHOOL THANKS THEY CAN SEE THAT. >> OK.
ALL RIGHT AND APPLICATIONS STILL REALLY BIG FOR US. BIG PUSH TO GET NEW APPLICATIONS AND GET AS MANY KIDS IN THE PROGRAM AS POSSIBLE. THOSE WILL BE GOING OUT WITH THE TEXT BOOK PICKS UPS. SO GETTING TO THE TEXT BOOK AND TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTION.
>> ELEMENTARY STARTS TOMORROW MORNING. TEXT BOOK PICKUP IS EASIER FOR US TO START WITH ELEMENTARY FIRST BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT BOOKS YOU NEED.
THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL. WE NEED TO KNOW MORE AND IT'S MORE COMPLICATED.
SO STARTING TOMORROW AT ALL IT MEANT TAR ARE SITES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PICKUP TIMES -- ELEMENTARY SITES. PEOPLE NOTICE IN THE MORNING THERE'S EVENING TIME.
WE WANT TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES. AND THERE'S ADDITIONAL EVENING TIME ON THE 24TH.
AND THEN ONCE SCHOOL STARTS IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL THING THAT WE COORDINATE VIRTUAL OFFICES SO THAT THERE'S NOT PEOPLE WAITING AROUND FOR THEIR BOOKS.
>> AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE THAT UNTIL WE HAD AN MOU FOR OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS WE WERE STUCK. WE COULDN'T DO MASTER SCHEDULES.
CAPTIONING COMPANY, INC.] I DO THINK THAT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS AND TRUSTEES WILL BE AWARE OF IF YOU GET THE EMAIL FORWARDED TO CCS AT THE SITES CAN FIGURE OUT AND TARGET THAT TO FIGURE IT OUT.
WHEN YOU REDUCE AND IT'S NOT THROUGH ANY INTEREST OF OURS, WHEN YOU REDUCE THAT AMOUNT OF TIME FOR PUTTING IN A MASTER SCHEDULE AND TRY TO CONDENSE IT IN A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS IT GOES TO IMPART WHEN REFERS TO DELAY THE SCHOOL YEAR AND HAD NOTHING TO DO THE LACK OF PREPARATION AS SOME PEOPLE SAID. WE ARE ACTUALLY COMPARED.
I PUT OUT AN EMAIL THAT THESE LANGUAGES CAN OPEN SCHOOLS AS NORMAL AND DO IT VIRTUALLY WHAT I FELT LIKE WE WERE STUCK IN NEGOTIATIONS. NOW OUR SITES HAVE TO BUILD MASTER SCHEDULES WITH 2300 KIDS TIMES SIX. INTO A GIANT PUZZLE TO MAKE SURE KIDS GET PLACED IN THE APPROPRIATE CLASSES. BE READY FOR MORE EMAILS AND PATIENT DESPITE WHAT WOULD BE AN AMAZING EFFORT BY OUR COUNCILS AND ADMINISTRATORS FOR THAT TO POP UP AS AN ISSUE AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE POST DRAMATIC STRESS AND REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE IN 2010, 11 AND 12 WHEN KIDS WERE NOT ABLE TO GET INTO A LOT OF CLASSES.
WE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THAT WE MAY TAKE A STEP BACK BECAUSE WE LOST MONTHS NOT JUST WEEKS.
CLICKS ARE S FOR SECONDARY FAMILIES TO SEE IT WHICH STARTS AUGUST 13.
>> CHROME BOOK AND WI-FI. YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS THERE WITH WHAT'S BEEN CHECKED OUT.
IN ADDITION TO THE ONES WE'VE ARTY BEEN CHECKED THAT WE REALIZED THAT YOU SEE THE 367 PERSON AT THE SERVICE CENTER AND EMAIL RESPONSES. YOU WILL SEE THAT MANY FAMILIES CAN ACCESS THIS ENEMY HAVE KIDS LAST YEAR THAT DIDN'T NEED TO COME BACK BECAUSE FOR WHATEVER REASON AND OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED. WE WILL HAVE DISTANCE LEARNING FOR MUCH LONGER PERIODS AND LONGER EACH DAY. THEY MAY NOT HAVE A CHROME BOOK AVAILABLE SO WE REALIZE THAT HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGY REQUEST FORMS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL THAT THEY CAN CLICK ON TO REQUEST OR CALL VIRTUAL OFFICES AT THE SCHOOL TO LET
[01:25:01]
THEM KNOW WHAT YOU NEED. >> ALSO THE TEXTBOOKS DAYS OF THE FAMILY NEEDS IT THEY JUST NEED TO CALL THE SCHOOL OFFICE AND WE WORK WITH THEM TO GET THAT TO THEM.
THE SPECIAL EDUCATION THERE WAS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE ON WHAT PHAPPENED LAST HER.
CAROLYN DO YOU WANT TO THE DIFFERENCE? SPEED WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO OUR PARENTS QUITE A BIT. THE CAC MEETING IS A CELL PHONE REQUIRED.
COMMUNITY ADVISORY MEETING. PARENTS EXPRESSED TO US THAT ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION LAST YEAR, WE'RE TALKING MODERATE TO SEVERE STUDENTS AND DISABILITIES. WAS THE INABILITY TO USE THE CHROME BOOK.
IT'S THE MOUSE AND KEYPAD. FOR MANY OF THE STUDENTS TO USE IPADS DURING THE TRADITIONAL SCHOOL YEAR IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. WE WORKED WITH CHRIS AND GOT PERMISSION TO ORDER SOME IPADS. WE LOOKED AT THE CHROME BOOK BUT THEY ARE SO BACKLOGGED AND BACKORDERED THAT IT WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE. THE LARGER IPADS ARE ALSO ON BACKORDER SO MANY IPADS WE WERE ABLE TO GET. THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT THEY NEEDED. SPINNING THANK YOU. YOU CAN SEE THE INFORMATION
HERE ABOUT THAT. YOU CAN CONTINUE ON. >> MAN: SOME QUICK PROGRAM UPDATES. WE ARE ADDING EIGHTH GRADE AND THE PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE GOING INTO THE 10TH GRADE THIS YEAR JUST GREAT. THE INFORMATION IS HERE ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS EXPANDING YOUR TWO AND A NEW PROGRAM STARTING FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION.
NOW I'M GOING TO SHARE SOME OFFER RATION FACILITY PICTURES WITH YOU.
I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE CONTINUING PROJECTS. WE ARE USING BOND DOLLARS AND WE'RE USING TAXPAYER FUNDS. WE WANT TO MAXIMIZE THAT. IT ALLOWS US TO GET THE WORK DONE ON CAMPUS AND AT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE NOT PLANNING FOR BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD BYPRODUCT OF THIS. THE FACT THAT OUR FAMILIES WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THIS WHEN WE RETURN IF THEY ARE DONE OR COMPLETED. ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH SCHOOLS. WE MOVE THROUGH THE SLIDES PRETTY QUICK.
YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE A CONVERSIONS AND THINGS TO SHOW YOU.
YOU CAN JUST GO THROUGH THEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S SERIOUS INVESTMENT IN OUR SOUTH AREA SCHOOLS FROM HVAC TO CONSTRUCTION. WE WILL END WITH THE PERMANENT SITE PICTURE AND SOME FINAL INFORMATION FOR YOU GUYS BEFORE WE WRAP UP.
ESPECIALLY HERE FOR THE DAYS IN THE NEXT SLIDE GOES INTO OUR START TIMES.
THIS IS A REMINDER TO KEEP IT GOING. >> DUG QUICKLY IF YOU CAN JUST GO BACK ONE JUST TO CLARIFY BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO IN THE BACKPACKS AND YOU LOOK AT THE SAMPLE SCHOOL SCHEDULES IT SAYS LIKE 945 OR 7:45 AM TO SOMETHING.
IN ACTUALITY PARENTS SHOULD PLAN ON THE DAILY SCHEDULE FOR THEIR CHILD FOR THE NORMAL TIME THAT THEIR SCHOOL WOULD START IF THEY WERE SHOWING UP IN PERSON.
>> IS CORRECT THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT. >> THESE TIMES OF NOT CHANGED
FROM THE NORMAL START TIMES IF WE HAVE BEEN HERE. >> THANK YOU.
>> YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION EFFORT THAT'S GOING OUT.
THE BIG THING IS PARENTS ARE CONTACTING INDIVIDUAL OFFICE FOR QUESTIONS SO YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT LIGHT. WE'VE LISTED A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE OVER THE NEXT FEW SLIDES TO SCROLL THROUGH. THAT'S THERE FOR PARENTS AS FAR AS NUMBERS TO CALL IS JUST ANOTHER PLACE TO PUT IT. THIS IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AND THAT'S WHAT WE
WANTED TO HAVE HERE FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS AS WELL. >> THAT TAKES US UP TO THE END WE'VE A LOT GOING ON I THINK YOU GUYS FOR THE QUESTIONS AND THE INTEREST IN THE SUPPORT.
[01:30:03]
>> BOARD MEMBERS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> QUESTIONS, THANKS DOUG.
>> TRUSTEE? >> IT'S VERY THOROUGH AS ALWAYS AND I'M REALLY GLAD YOU SHOWED THE PBS PHOTOS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE A SCHOOL PRESENTATION IF WE DID NOT SEE
THE THE PRESENTATION. >> TRUSTEE GRANT? >> I DITTO DOUG.HANK YOU FOR GOING IN IS ALWAYS. IT'S THE DUCK SHOW AND IT'S A TEAM EFFORT.

>> DITTO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN IT GETS POSTED SO I CAN SCREENSHOT EASILY SEND THAT INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE SO THANK YOU DOUG.

SCREEN CAST ON IN THE BACKGROUND SO IT IS DELAYED. >> ARE YOU THERE?
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> HI HEIDI, YOU ARE ON. >> I AM READY.
>> HEIDI YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TURN OFF THE BACKGROUND NOISE.
>> CHRISTINA HELP HER AND GET READY TO MOVE ON THE PRESENTATION.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE TRUSTEES ARE NOT HERE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON THE PRESENTATION.
THIS IS OUR REGULAR UPDATE FOR CONSTITUENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ONCE HEIDI GETS BACK ON SHE'LL BE A MUCH BETTER PRESENTER THAN I AM. CONSTITUENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO LOOK AT HISTORICAL DATA WHICH IS BROUGHT TO YOU EVERY YEAR.
>> TO SEE WHAT A TREMENDOUS JOB IN MY OPINION SHE WILL PROBABLY BE MORE FACT-BASED BUT IT'S A TREMENDOUS JOB THAT THEY DID IN FILLING THE GAP WHEN OUR BRICK AND MORTAR PHYSICAL SCHOOLS HAD TO CLOSE. WITH VIRTUAL OFFICES YOU HEARD DOUG TALKING ABOUT.
THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN REACH VIA PHONE OR INTERNET. WHATEVER IS THERE IF YOU ARE THERE TALK OVER ME AND I WILL TRANSITION OUT YOU CAN CATCH UP.
THE CURRENT ROLE OF CCS PRECUT A VIRUS WALKING FACILITIES AND CHECKING OUT WORK ORDERS TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE IN PLACE. THERE NEEDED TO BE A SUDDEN AND DIRECT SHIP WHEN THE PHYSICAL PLANT CLOSED AND SUDDENLY FAMILIES WERE THRUST INTO VIRTUAL LEARNING AND THEY NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY. WE HAD NOT COME UP WITH THE VIRTUAL OFFICE IDEAS YET. AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC IN ITSELF WAS AN ACT OF CONGRESS.
ACTUALLY WE GOT THAT DONE FASTER THAN CONGRESS WOULD HAVE.
IT'S A GLOCK TO GET CELL PHONES. THEY WERE GOING LEFT AND RIGHT AND WI-FI HOTSPOTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I THINK THEY SPENT THE WHOLE DAY TRYING TO PROCESS CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS TO GET WI-FI HOTSPOTS THAT WERE ABLE TO GET OUT TODAY. I SPOKE TO THE GUY FROM TEXAS AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT BUT WE GOT TO A DEAL. WE WERE TRYING EVERYTHING AND
[01:35:01]
CCS IN THE MEANTIME WAS FILLING IN BECAUSE OUR BUILDINGS WERE CLOSED AND PARENTS STILL NEEDED TO CONNECT. THEY WANT TO GET ANSWERS WHILE IT'S A COUPLE OF WEEKS TOLAUNCH THE VIRTUAL OFFICES. HOW DEAR YOU BACK? >> WOMAN: I'M BACK.
I'M REALLY SORRY. >> NOW WE'RE GOING TO ROLL TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
HEIDI WE ARE ON HISTORICAL DATA. I'VE SET YOU UP.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY. TAKE IT FROM HERE.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? >> YES. >> WOMAN: I AM EXTREMELY SORRY.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HERE IS HISTORICAL DATA AS WE'VE SEEN IT KIND OF IN THE PAST OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS. WE SEE A HUGE SPIKE OF COURSE IN THE 1920 SCHOOL YEAR AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THIS PRESENTATION LOOKS DIFFERENTLY THAN IT HAS IN THE PAST JUST BECAUSE WE ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT TIMES.
THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE HISTORICAL COMPARISON FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER.
THAT INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY AND IS IMPACTED BY THE COVID 19 IMPACT ON SCHOOLS.
THIS IS KIND OF A TIMELINE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT SECOND SEMESTER THAT'S CAUSE THAT INCREASE THE SCHOOL CLOSURE IN MARCH. MARCH 12 AND 13TH WE SAW 834 TOTAL CONTACTS INCLUDING HUNDRED AND 55 WALKING. FOR THE COUPLE WEEKS THAT FOLLOWED THAT WE WERE INUNDATED WITH A LOT OF CONTACTS UNTIL VIRTUAL OFFENSES OPENED ON APRIL 3. THAT HELPED US SIGNIFICANTLY IN GETTING OUR COMMUNITY THE ANSWERS TO THE RIGHT PLACES AND SOME INPUT FROM VIRTUAL OFFICES WITH. .
WE EVEN HAVE SPRING BREAK. ON APRIL 20 WE LAUNCHED OUR DISTRICT LEARNING IN ADDITION TO OUR VIRTUAL OFFICES. WE HAD ARENA BODY TESTING COME OUT IN MAY AND THE PRESS RELEASE FROM THE COVID 19 TESTING CLINIC CAME OUT IN JUNE.
THAT SPIKE IS CONTINUING WELL INTO JULY AND AUGUST. THE OPENING ARE VERY VIRTUAL OFFICES REALLY GAVE US A LOT OF RELIEF FOR SERVICE. THE WAY WE WERE USING OUR THIRD-PARTY VENDORS DURING OUR DIFFICULT START IN MARCH REALLY HAD TO CHANGE.
JUST AS A REMINDER THE NATION WAS PROVIDING VACATIONS TO CCS. WE'VE USED THEM NOW TO ANSWER EVERY CALL WITH A LIVE OPERATOR. HOW DO WE SIGN UP TO GET A COVID 19 TEST OR HOW I LEARNED MORE ABOUT DISTANCE LEARNING. WE PROVIDED THEM WITH LINKS AND OTHER INFORMATION. ALSO THE THIRD-PARTY VENDOR LANGUAGE LINK HAS BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY DURING THIS TIME. IT IS WE NEEDED TO DO IS ADD A LINK ON TO OUR WEBPAGE WHICH WAS A LINK THAT ALLOWED TO GET SURVEYS SO THAT RESPONSE TIME WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED. THEY ARE ABLE TO CLICK A LINK AND SELECT AN OPTION OF WHAT KIND OF ASSISTANCE THEY NEEDED. THOSE CALLS WENT DARKLY TO THOSE DEPARTMENTS.
BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE BACK AS WELL. WE HAVE SEEN A GRAND INCREASE IN THE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION I JUST WANT TO SAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF REQUESTED INFORMATION IT DOES NOT MEAN WE WERE NOT COMMUNICATING. WE'VE COMMUNICATED REALLY EXTENSIVELY WILL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE. WE SAW AN INCREASE IN THE MISCELLANEOUS WHICH WERE QUESTIONS WE NEVER HAD TO ANSWER BEFORE.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN AUGUST AND WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO START SCHOOL.
AND THEN IN THE CA'S OFFICE 35% IS SEEING LOTS OF CALLS REGARDING DISTANCE LEARNING.
HAD I GET A CHROME BOOK AND A REFUND ON MY SENIOR TRIP. WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH GRADUATION? OUR COMMUNITY BY WHICH A CALL THAT ARE RELATED TO OUR COVID
[01:40:02]
19 TESTING SITE. IT'S NOT POPPING AS HE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE IT'S DESIGNED TO GUIDE THAT WAY. CCS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR ANGER TO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PUBLIC HEALTH. THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMES OF THE LAUNCH OF OUR WEBPAGE.WE ACTUALLY FUNNEL COMMUNICATION TOWARD CCS AND YOU WILL SEE AN INCREASE.
THAT THROUGH INTENTIONAL DESIGN. THIS IS WHERE YOU GO TO GET
QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND HELP SIGN UP. >> THANK YOU CHRIS.
LIKE I SAID IT'S NOT A LACK OF COMMUNICATION ON OUR PART. THE DISTRICT OVERALL IS AMAZING WITH COMMUNICATION IN THIS THAT SLIDE SHOWS THAT BEST. WHILE WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN OUR REQUEST FOR INFORMATION WE HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT DROP IN COMPLAINTS.
WE WERE SEEING A SLIGHT DROP EVERY YEAR OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS BUT THE DROPOUT IS BELOW 6%. ONLY HUNDRED AND 65 CALLS OVER THE YEAR ON 4300.
WE ARE REALLY CELEBRATING THAT THESE ARE SOME OF THOSE SIGNIFICANT COMMUNICATIONS THAT I WAS MENTIONING. THIS IS A VERY SHORT LIST AND SOME OF THOSE REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ARE REFERENCED IN LOTS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT WENT OUT AND PARENTS DISMISS IT OR DIDN'T GET OR WHATEVER. THIS IS A VERY SHORT LIST OF COMMUNICATIONS HAVE GONE OUT THAT REALLY HELP WITH THAT DROP IN GENERAL COMPLAINTS ACROSS DEPARTMENTS.
WHILE WE MIGHT SEE A DECREASE IN RESPONSE TIME WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT BE SLOWER BECAUSE THE THIRD-PARTY ANSWERING SERVICE WAS HELPING US WITH THE CALLS AND THERE WAS A HIGHER VOLUME.
WE ACTUALLY DID NOT SEE THAT. WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEEN UP TO 82% ON THE SAME DAY CLOSURE FROM 77% OVERALL FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR AND 99% IN 10 DAYS OUR VIRTUAL OFFICE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND WE REALLY ARE CELEBRATING THE SUCCESS AND
RESPONDING TO OUR COMMUNITY QUICKLY. >> THAT IS A WRAP.
ANY QUESTIONS? ASK ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY? >> I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THANK YOU HEIDI CCS STAFF AND EVERYBODY PUTTING IN SO MUCH TIME.
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT JAW-DROPPING WORTHY TO SEE THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOLUME OF
CALLS THAT YOU HAD TO TAKE AND HOW HE MOVED TO HANDLE IT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THOSE COMMENTS HEIDI. EVERY TIME WE CONTACT CCS I'M CONFIDENT IN SAYING IF YOU DON'T HEAR BACK FROM CCS WITHIN A WEEK LET ME KNOW. I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE PERSON CALL ME BACK OTHER THAN TO SAY THANK YOU. I COULDN'T THINK YOU ENOUGH AND
