[00:10:16]

>> ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS. LET'S GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR PRESENTATIONS FROM OUR STUDENT, STAFF, AND COMMUNITY. WE ARE GOING TO GO TO OUR EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE REPORTS. CAN I HAVE KAREN MCDANIEL FROM BTA?

>> STEWART , BOARD CABINET COMMUNITY AND GUESTS. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE SINCE I HAVE BEEN UP HERE. SO THERE WAS AN ARTICLE RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE SIGNAL, WHICH IS THE NEWSPAPER IN SANTA CLARITA WHERE I LIVE, ABOUT HOW SCHOOL BOARD WANTED TO DISCUSS THE BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES TEACHERS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO COMBAT IN THE CLASSROOM. I REALIZE BEHAVIOR IS CHALLENGING EVERYWHERE, BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO LOOK INTO WAYS WE CAN SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN OUR CLASSROOMS. I THINK WE ALL REALIZE THAT IT CHALLENGES US TO BE CREATIVE WITH OUR DISCIPLINE. A STUDENT OR STUDENT WITH X BEHAVIOR GETS SENT OUT OF CLASS TO THE OFFICE. THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE AN AP OR COUNSELOR ON CAMPUS THAT DAY. THE PRINCIPAL MAY OR MAY NOT BE ON CAMPUS DEPENDING ON WHAT MEETINGS ARE ON THE CALENDAR. WHAT DOES THAT TEACHER DO? I HAVE TOLD MANY TEACHERS THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE TO DOCUMENT BEHAVIORS, BUT THAT JUST LEAVES A PAPER TRAIL. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THE BEHAVIORS? WHAT IS THE BIGGER PLAN? HOW DO WE KNOW THAT NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER BECAUSE WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED X, Y, AND Z PROCESSES. THIS IS JUST ELEMENT YOUR SCHOOL. LET'S TALK ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL. WE DECIDED TO GO TO BLOCK BECAUSE WE WERE PROMISED SMALLER CLASS SIZES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION IN OUR CLASSROOMS, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS, PROVIDE MORE ELECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES, HELP OUR STRUGGLING POPULATION WITH CREDIT RECOVERY DURING THE SCHOOL DAY INSPECTING THEM -- THE TO KEEP HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER CAP AT 175 IN ORDER TO SUPPORT ITS DESIRE TO START A BLOCK SCHEDULE THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR AND IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR STUDENTS. BARGAINING CONTINUED LAST WEEK AFTER A LONG BREAK.

OUR LAST DATE WAS BEFORE WINTER BREAK , AND IT RESUMES AGAIN NEXT TUESDAY. I HOPE THAT WE MAKE SOME PROGRESS. ALLIANCE LAST MONTH DISCUSSED TRANSPORTATION AND REWARDING STATION. I HOPE THE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD TO BRING BACK OUR OWN TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THE REORGANIZATION PROCESS. I THINK WE ALL SAW A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT THIS YEAR AND I HOPE THAT THAT CONTINUES. THE STANDING COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO MEET INVOLVING SPECIAL EDUCATION. THEY MEET ALMOST MONTHLY. THEY CONTINUE TO DISCUSS AND HOPEFULLY MAKE SOME CHANGES TO OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT THAT FITS BOTH OUR STUDENTS AND HELPS OUR TEACHERS BE SUCCESSFUL. LAST MONTH THEY ATTENDED THE SOUTHEASTERN SERVICE SCHOOL BOARD DINNER WITH A LOT OF YOU HERE. IT WAS A NICE NIGHT . THE FOOD WAS PRETTY GOOD. I WENT HOME ASKING MY HUSBAND WHAT THE TITLE OF HIS MEMOIR WOULD BE. I AM STILL ADAMANT THAT MINE IS DEPENDING ON THE DAY. IT STILL RINGS TRUE ALMOST EVERY DAY. YESTERDAY I ATTENDED THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHERS. I REALLY LOVE WHAT THAT IS DOING WITH OUR HISTORY TEACHERS, AND I HOPE THAT THE DISTRICT CONSIDERS EXPANDING INTO OTHER TEACHERS IF APPLICABLE. I ROLLED TO TEACHER OF THE YEAR COMMITTEE. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW PROCESS THAT IS TRANSPARENT AND ALLOWS FOR SITES TO DETERMINE WHO THEIR TEACHER OF THE YEAR IS. THE APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ARE VERY COMPETITIVE AND CLEARLY POINT OUT WE HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOLS DOING A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS FOR OUR STUDENTS. BTA SHARED THE DATA FROM ITS ADMIN SURVEY WITH ALL OF YOU . I HOPE YOU GOT THE ENVELOPES. OUR MEMBERSHIP ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE SPENT A LOT OF TIME COMPILING THE DATA TO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK FROM TEACHERS ON SITE ADMIN. SITE REPS WILL BE GIVEN THE DATA AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING IN MARCH TO FOSTER CONSERVATOR -- CONVERSATION. NEXT WEEK I'M ATTENDING THE AI CONFERENCE IN ANAHEIM WITH MANY LEADERS AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIEFING EXPERIENCE AND HOW WE CAN INCORPORATE SOME OF OUR CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. FINALLY, ON TUESDAY I WAS LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND IT WAS REMINDING LISTENERS THE CELL PHONE BAN AND STARTED THAT DAY AND ALL STUDENTS NEEDED TO HAVE THEIR PHONES OFF DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A COOL PR THING TO DO, BUT PARENTS AND GUARDIANS ALSO HEAR IT ON THE RADIO. SOMETIMES HEARING IT FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. I AM NOT SURE FOR T POLICY, BUT I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER MESSAGING . THANK YOU, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.

>> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. CSC DOES NOT HAVE A REPORT TONIGHT.

[9. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

[00:15:10]

SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED A LONG WEEKEND THIS PAST FRIDAY AND MONDAY. IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO VISIT THIS WEEK TWICE. I RECEIVED A SPECIAL INVITATION TO ATTEND THE WEDDING OF Q AND U. I HAVE SOME PICTURES FOR YOU UP HERE. THIS WAS PUT ON THIS MORNING BY MS. ASHTON'S TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN CLASS.

THE PRESENTATION WAS ADORABLE. CREATIVE. VERY THOUGHTFUL . THE STUDENTS DRESSED AS ALPHABET LETTERS. THEY WERE MEMBERS OF THE WEDDING. THEY WERE EITHER A GUEST OR PART OF THE WEDDING PARTY. THEY HOSTED THEIR PARENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF TO A WEDDING, WHICH CONSISTED OF SONGS, A READ ALOUD, AND A MOCK WEDDING VOWS CEREMONY BETWEEN THE TWO LETTERS OF Q AND U. MISSES ASHTON'S CREATIVE WAY OF AN AGING -- ENGAGING STUDENTS IN LEARNING THAT Q IS ALMOST ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY U IN WORDS. I THINK MS. ASHTON FOR THAT INVITATION. IT WAS ADORABLE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE OUR CTE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. WE CELEBRATE CTA -- CTE PROGRAMS. WE HAD STUDENTS COMPETING IN VARIOUS EVENTS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL AND WE HAVE 48 STUDENTS FROM BELLFLOWER , MAYFAIR, SOMERSET, AND THE PROGRAM WHO QUALIFIED TO COMPETE AT THE STATE LEVEL IN APRIL. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THE STUDENTS AND STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK. WE KNOW THAT IS A TOUGH THING TO PARTICIPATE IN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONGRATULATE SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL FOR ONCE AGAIN BEING RECOGNIZED AS A MODEL CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL. THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS , TONY THURMAN, ANNOUNCED THE 2025 RECIPIENTS YESTERDAY. SOMERSET WILL BE RECOGNIZED IN APRIL AT THE CALIFORNIA CONTINUATION EDUCATION ASSOCIATION AWARDS GALA FOR PROVIDING COMPETENCE OF SERVICES TO AT RISK YOUTH.

SOMERSET STAFF WILL JOIN US FOR RECOGNITION AFTER THAT UPCOMING GALA. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING THEM. FINALLY THIS EVENING, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR NEWEST BUSD ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM MEMBER , MR. CALVERT WRIGHT, WHO I BELIEVE IS WITH US THIS EVENING. WELCOME. MR. WRIGHT IS SERVING AS AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT MAYFAIR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. MR. WRIGHT SERVED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 13 YEARS. HE STARTED HIS CAREER AS A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER. HE SERVED AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD AND MOST RECENTLY AS A DATA EXPERT. HE HOLDS A BACHELORS OF SCIENCE AND A MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN SOCIOLOGY AND SPECIAL EDUCATION EARNED FROM LOYOLA MARYMOUNT AND UNIVERSITY. WELCOME TO THE BUSD TEAM. AND THAT IS MY UPDATE FOR

A LEGISLATIVE ACTION COMMITTEE BASICALLY SO THAT WE CAN KEEP UP WITH CURRENT LEGISLATURE. THINGS THAT ARE COMING INTO PLAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO COAST-TO-COAST TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR STUDENTS, SO I'M GOING TO START THAT COMMITTEE IF WE CAN GET THAT ON THE AGENDA NEXT MEETING. ALL RIGHT. SO MOVING ALONG . WE DO NOT HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS TONIGHT, CORRECT? NO

[12. DISCUSSION ITEMS]

[00:20:01]

UPDATE PRESENTATION. >> YES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MISSES CARTER PROVIDE THAT PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

>> ACTUALLY, MADAM PRESIDENT, IF I MIGHT REAL QUICK , WE STILL NEED TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC COMMENT JUST IN CASE SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT HAD NOT SUBMITTED A CARD YET WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON ANY ISSUES, AND THEN WE CAN CLOSE IT OUT.

>> ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? CLOSING PUBLIC

COMMENTS. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. TONIGHT IN COLLABORATION WITH BUSINESS SERVICES, I WILL BE PROVIDING THE MIDYEAR LCAP UPDATE. THE CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN, WHICH IS OUR DISTRICT PLAN FOR SUPPORTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THE LCAP IS A THREE-YEAR PLAN OF WHICH WE ARE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION . ANNUALLY WE REVIEW THE PLAN WITH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS AND DETERMINE IF ANY CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE. IN FEBRUARY OF EACH YEAR , WE PROVIDE AN UPDATE, INCLUDING THE CURRENT STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH ACTION, THE CURRENT EXPENDITURES TO DATE , AND OUTCOME DATA FOR EACH METRIC THAT IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

EXPENDITURES AND IMPLEMENTATION INFORMATION WILL BE PRESENTED AS NOT STARTED , IN PROGRESS , OR COMPLETE. SOME METRICS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS AS THE INFORMATION IS COLLECTED FROM SOURCES THAT ARE NOT YET COMPLETE OR AVAILABLE SUCH AS THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY AND LCAP SURVEY DATA . METRIC OUTCOMES WILL BE PRESENTED AS PENDING, IMPROVED , OR FINAL. AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET OVERVIEW, WHICH WAS JUNE OF LAST YEAR, THE TOTAL PROJECTED REVENUE WAS APPROXIMATELY $185 MILLION RECEIVED BY FUNDING SOURCES AS LABELED ON THIS SLIDE . AS OF JANUARY 31ST, THE PROJECTED REVENUE IS APPROXIMATELY 204 MILLION. THE DIFFERENCE IN FUNDING IS DUE MOSTLY TO FEDERAL ONE-TIME FUNDS THAT HAD NOT YET BEEN EXPENDED. OUR PLAN HAS FOUR GOALS. 27 ACTIONS. THE ACTIONS INCLUDED IN GOAL ONE, SUPPORT THE PROVISION OF SAFE COLLABORATIVE CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING. MORE SPECIFICALLY, ACTIONS PROVIDED ON QUALITY EDUCATORS , INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT, DECREASE , INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE , AND CUSTODIAL OPERATIONS AS WELL AS IN GOAL ONE, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS, AND THE ABILITY FOR STAFF TO COLLABORATE IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES PARTICIPATING IN A BROAD COURSES STUDY. OF THE 11 ACTIONS, ONE IS COMPLETE AND THE REST ARE STILL IN PROGRESS.

GIVE ME JUST ONE MOMENT. I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

FOR GOAL ONE, THERE ARE 45 DATA POINTS AND FIVE STATE PRIORITY AREAS. BASIC CONDITIONS, STUDENT CONDITIONS, STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, SCHOOL CLIMATE, AND COURSE ACCESS. BASIC CONDITIONS INCLUDING HIRING TEACHERS WITH CLEAR CONDITIONALS -- CREDENTIALS, PURCHASING ALIGNMENT MATERIALS AND MAINTAIN GOOD FACILITIES ALL MAINTAIN PROGRESS. IN THE AREA OF STUDENT CONDITIONS, WHICH MEASURES STUDENT SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION RATES, POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION IMPLEMENTATION, AND PERCEPTION DATA REGARDING THE SAFETY OF SCHOOLS , 8 OF 18 OUTCOMES ARE STILL IN PROGRESS AND 70% OF THE REMAINING OUTCOMES IMPROVED . STUDENT ENGAGEMENT DATA MEASURES THE RATE OF STUDENT ATTENDANCE . 1 OF 11 METRICS IS STILL IN PROGRESS, HOWEVER, 90% OF THE REMAINING METRICS IMPROVED OR

[00:25:02]

ENGLISH LEARNER DROPOUT RATE IN SECOND GRADE STUDENTS BECOMING READERS HAS IMPROVED, HOWEVER THE OVERALL DROPOUT PERCENTAGE HAS INCREASED . ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT 28 OF OUR STUDENTS WERE CONSIDERED DROPOUTS LAST YEAR. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT -- EDUCATION CERTIFICATE AND STUDENTS THAT ARE LEAVING HIGH SCHOOL TO ENROLL IN ADULT SCHOOL ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THAT DROPOUT PERCENTAGE. GOAL TWO INCLUDES 10 ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND ACHIEVEMENT. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE PURCHASING STANDARD ALIGNED MATERIALS, SUPPORTING BEGINNING TEACHERS , SUPPLEMENTAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND EXPANDING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND OTHER PROGRAMS, INCLUDING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION , COLLEGE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, AND BILINGUAL DUAL IMMERSION.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL ACTIONS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS. THERE ARE 57 METRICS MEASURING PROGRESS OF THREE STATE PRIORITIES FOR GOAL TWO, INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STANDARDS , STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND OTHER STUDENT OUTCOMES THAT INCLUDE PARTICIPATION AND ACHIEVEMENT IN COLLEGE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. 24 DATA POINTS ARE COLLECTED TO MEASURE PROGRESS TOWARD IMPLEMENTING STATE STANDARDS, INCLUDING STUDENTS ATTENDING PROFICIENCY OF SCIENCE, MATH, AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS STANDARDS. ALMOST ALL OF THE METRICS COLLECTED SAW PROGRESS , HOWEVER, OVERALL SCIENCE AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS PROFICIENCY DECLINED SLIGHTLY. STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND LONG-TERM ENGLISH LEARNERS MADE PROGRESS IN MATH, LANGUAGE ARTS, AN AREA OF CONTINUED NEEDED IMPROVEMENT IS PRIMARY GRADES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS BEING PROFICIENT MATHEMATICIANS AND READERS BY THIRD GRADE AND STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGLISH LEARNERS. MOST OF THE 14 OUTCOMES COLLECTED TO MEASURE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT INCLUDING SPRING SEMESTER GRADES AND BENCHMARKS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS. 11 OF THE 19 METRICS COLLECTED TO MEASURE STUDENT SUCCESS AND OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDE -- IMPROVED . THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS GRADUATING STATE OR UNIVERSITY READY. THE PERCENT OF AP EXAMS PAST, AND STUDENTS GRADUATING PREPARED AND EARNING A SEAL OF BILITERACY.

PERCENTAGE OF DUAL IMMERSION STUDENTS WITH OBTAINING STANDARDS IMPROVED. GOAL THREE MEASURES PROGRESS WITH INCREASING PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES.

PERCEPTION DATA REGARDING WHETHER TEACHERS BELIEVE THEY ARE PART OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROGRESS THAT PARENTS BELIEVE THEIR INVOLVEMENT IS PROMOTED AND THREE OR MORE PARENT WORKSHOPS ARE PROVIDED BY EACH SCHOOL ARE STILL BEING COLLECTED. CURRENT DATA REGARDING INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS AND ACCOUNTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND WEBSITE TRAFFIC HAVE INCREASED. GOAL FOUR WAS CREATED TO IDENTIFY ACTIONS TO SUPPORT THREE SCHOOLS THAT RECEIVE SPECIALIZED FUNDING THIS YEAR DUE TO INSTABILITY OF THEIR STUDENT POPULATION. TO SUPPORT THESE POPULATIONS SERVICES FOR ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND COLLEGE READINESS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED. OVER 40% OF THE 20 METRICS COLLECTED FOR THIS GOAL ARE STILL IN PROGRESS, HOWEVER 60% OF THE REMAINING 16 METRICS SHOWED IMPROVEMENT. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THE ACTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IMPLEMENT IT AND METRIC OUTCOMES WILL BE COLLECTED TO DETERMINE PROGRESS IN SUPPORTING STUDENT SUCCESS. THE SURVEY IS CURRENTLY BEATING -- BEING DEVELOPED. IN MAY, FINAL ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT LCAP WILL BE REVIEWED AND FINAL INPUT WILL BE SOLICITED FROM EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS. PRIOR TO JUNE WHEN THE UPDATED LCAP WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL . AND THAT CONCLUDES THE UPDATE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISSES CARTER. COLLEAGUES, DO WE HAVE

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ? >> I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION . OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS , ARE WE BELIEVING THAT WE ARE GOING TO MEET THE GOAL AND COMPLETE IT? I MEAN, THERE ARE A

[00:30:08]

NOT MEET? >> THE PROBABLY WILL BE SOME THAT WE WON'T MEET. THIS IS A THREE-YEAR LCAP, SO WE ARE HOPING TO MEET THAT FINAL GOAL BY THE THIRD YEAR. AND WE DO HAVE OUR SURVEYS COMING OUT, SO IT IS GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON WHAT THE RESPONSES TO THE SURVEYS ARE MOST LIKELY.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I APPRECIATE TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. JUST FOR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, THERE IS ON THE IMPACTED BUDGET OVERVIEW THE ALL FEDERAL FUNDS INCREASING TO 18 474. I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE CARRYOVER. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT JUST FOR THE BOARD

AND AUDIENCE? >> REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE YOU EXPLAIN, CAN WE GET THAT PAGE UP ON THE SCREEN, PLEASE? THE IMPACTED BUDGET OVERVIEW FOR PARENTS? SO THAT WE CAN SEE HOW SHE IS EXPLAINING? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> IT IS COMMON WHEN WE DEVELOP THE BUDGET. I THINK I WALKED THE BOARD THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE. WE'RE DEVELOPING THE BUDGET. WE ARE GOING TO START RIGHT ABOUT NOW AND WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD IN JUNE, HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT CLOSED OUT THE YEAR BEFORE, BUT WE'VE GOT TO PROVIDE A BUDGET FOR THE YEAR THAT IS COMING. SO WHEN WE ADOPTED BUDGET, WE OFTEN DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE CARRYOVER NUMBERS FOR PROGRAMS OR RESOURCES THAT ARE STILL KIND OF MOVING ALONG THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO IT IS VERY COMMON THAT WE WILL BRING CHANGES TO THE BOARD , BRINGING THOSE FUNDS FORWARD SO WE CAN SPEND THEM IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON THE BUDGET OVERVIEW FOR PARENTS. THE IMPACT OF OUR ADOPTED BUDGET WITHOUT MAYBE ALL OF THOSE CARRYOVER NUMBERS IN THEM. ONCE WE DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS CARRYING INTO THE NEW YEAR, WE

DO BRING THOSE BACK . >> OKAY, THANK YOU. BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP AROUND THIS TIME EVERY YEAR.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PUT A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE ON THAT. THERE IS QUITE A FEW OF THESE THAT SAY MIDYEAR EXPENDITURES -- I KNOW A LOT OF THE EXPENDITURES AREN'T EQUAL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. MAYBE THERE IS MORE IN THE LATER PART OF THE YEAR, BUT WITH SOME OF THESE WHERE WE BUDGETED 12.5 MILLION AND WE WERE ONLY AT 4.8 OR WITH A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS THE BUDGET FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE. WHEN THEY ARE SO LOW, IS THERE AN ADJUSTMENT MADE TO WHAT IS BUDGETED IF WE DON'T THINK WE ARE GOING TO SPEND THAT SO THERE'S NOT SO MUCH CARRYOVER? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETIMES WE BUDGET SO MUCH AND THEN THE NUMBERS COME IN LATE AND THEN WE HAVE THIS BIG

INFLUX. >> SO THAT IS WHAT WE UTILIZE OUR INTERIM REPORTING FOR BREAD WE BRING FORWARD THOSE NUMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN KIND OF ADJUSTED BASED ON OUR PROJECTIONS AND WHAT WE KNOW TO BE HAPPENING. SO THESE NUMBERS ARE PARTIALLY THROUGH THE YEAR. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE PLACE LATER IN THE YEAR, AND THEREFORE THE NUMBERS MIGHT BE A LITTLE HEAVIER COMING UP ON THE END OF THE YEAR. SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN SUMMER, AND YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS HIGHER BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE AND IT IS ARTY PART OF THE BUDGET. SO OUR GOAL IS TO BRING YOU UPDATES TO OUR PROJECTIONS THAT WILL THEN KIND OF GUIDE THE BUDGET AND GUIDE OUR BOARD IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS AND LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE THINK WE STAND.

>> SO WHEN WE DEVELOP THE BUDGET FOR ALLOCATION FOR THE LCAP , WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH OF THE CARRYOVER IS GOING TO BE.

THAT SMALLER BUCKET, RIGHT? >> THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY RIGHT. WE ARE DEVELOPING THE BUDGET IN THE APRIL MAY TIMEFRAME. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXPENDITURES THAT TAKE PLACE IN APRIL, MAY, AND JUNE THAT MIGHT CARRYOVER. AND A LOT OF THESE ARE ON THE RESTRICTED SIDE. SO THIS IS MAYBE A TITLE I BUDGET THAT WE HAVE A FINITE SET OF MONEY. THE AMOUNT WE NEED TO BRING FORWARD IS EXACTLY WHAT IS LEFT IN THE GRANT THE NEXT YEAR, AND SO WE MONITOR THOSE THINGS. WE DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN, BUT WHEN WE BRING THEM FORWARD INTO THE BUDGET THE NEXT YEAR, IT IS THE ACTUAL AMOUNT WE HAVE LEFT OVER FROM THE GRANT PREVIOUSLY.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME WITH US FOR A WHOLE BUDGET CYCLE. I KNOW SOME OF THE STUFF YOU HAVE ADOPTED IT. BUT WOULD YOU SAY THAT WE ARE MAKING CHANGES TO KIND OF MAYBE GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER WHEN IT COMES TO HOW MUCH WE ARE BUDGETING SO THERE IS NOT SO MUCH OF A GAP?

>> ABSOLUTELY. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WORKING FOR . AND WHAT WE'RE

[00:35:10]

OUR INTERIM REPORTING. >> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME. >> VICE PRESIDENT GARZA .

>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. MY QUESTION . LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND IT NOW. LCAP GOAL ONE. CAN YOU GIVE ME A DEFINITION OF HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS ? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I THOUGHT

WE HAD HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS. >> IT IS BASICALLY JUST A NAME FOR OUR TEACHERS FOR OUR ADMINISTRATORS. SO HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS IS ACTUALLY FROM HISTORICAL. THERE USED TO BE A DEFINITION OF WHAT A HIGH QUALITY TEACHER WAS , BUT THAT IS THE NAME THAT WE HAVE GIVEN THAT GOAL. THAT REALLY IS JUST THE AREA WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING AT OUR TEACHERS AND OUR ADMINISTRATORS IN THAT SPACE OR IN THAT ACTION.

>> AND SO TO QUALIFY AND SAY THIS IS COMPLETED, WHAT DO WE

NEED TO DO? >> TO COMPLETE 11, IT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETED EXPENDITURES. IT WOULD BE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. THAT IS THAT DIFFERENCE.

>> OKAY. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN GOING OVER TO LCAP GOAL TWO -- LCAP GOAL TWO. MANY OF THESE SAY IN PROGRESS. IS THERE A WAY -- CAN YOU MAYBE DESCRIBE HOW SCHOOLS

ARE TRACKING THEIR OWN PROGRESS? >> SCHOOLS TRACK THEIR BUDGET SIMILARLY TO HOW WE TRACK OUR BUDGETS . BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT AT THIS MIDYEAR TERM WHEN WE ARE PUTTING ALL OF THIS TOGETHER, WE ARE DOING THIS WITH OUR SCHOOL SITES AS WELL. SO FOR INSTANCE, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING MEETINGS WITH ADMINISTRATORS ON THEIR BUDGETS THAT THEY HAVE HAD. WE LOOK AT, OKAY, YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO PROJECT TO SEE THIS. WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT. IS THERE A REASON FOR THAT? DID SOMETHING ELSE BECOME A NEED? WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS SO THEY STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLOCATE OR SPEND THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE NOT SPENT YET.

>> SO THERE IS STILL TIME FOR THEM TO GO AHEAD AND USE THESE FUNDS BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND WHAT IF THEY DON'T GET

TO THAT POINT. >> SHE CAN CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, BUT THAT WOULD BE CARRYOVER FUNDING DEPENDING ON THE GRANT OR THE FUNDING THAT IT IS.

>> OKAY. I THINK I MAY HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE. DO WE LOSE ANY OF THAT FUNDING IF WE ARE NOT USING IT OR

ALLOCATING IT COMPLETELY ? >> AGAIN, CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMELINES TO SPEND OUR MONEY. AS LONG AS WE SPEND IT WITHIN THAT TIMELINE, THEN WE ARE OKAY. SOME FUNDS ARE TWO YEARS, FIVE YEARS. SOME ARE 18 MONTHS, 27 MONTHS.

WE JUST HAVE TO HIT THAT DEADLINE OR ELSE WE WOULD HAVE

TO GET THE MONEY BACK. >> ANY OF THESE? NEVERMIND.

THANK YOU. >> I HAD JUST A PIGGYBACK QUESTION TO ADD ON LCAP GOAL 11 . HIGH QUALITY EDUCATORS. IF WE BUDGETED 110, WHY IS 63 HALFWAY? THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WE ARE VIEWED AT 126. IS AND THAT ONE PRETTY STANDARD? WHY WOULD WE HAVE ONLY BUDGETED 110 MILLION AND WE'RE GOING TO BE AT 126

MILLION? >> THESE MIDYEAR EXPENDITURES ARE THROUGH JANUARY 31ST, SO IT IS NOT QUITE EXACTLY 6 MONTHS.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF MATH ON OUR SIDE. WHEN THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. SOME OF THOSE THINGS COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER MONTHS DEPENDING ON HOW WE DO THINGS. SO IT WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD COME WITH A MIDYEAR EXPENDITURE THAT WAS EXACTLY 50% OF THE YEAR, BUT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO YOU BASED ON SCHOOL SYSTEM CALENDARS.

>> OKAY, GOT IT. THAT WOULD BE THE ONE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> YES. IF I CAN. ALL RIGHT. A COUPLE MORE . THE LCAP ONE FOR -- FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT , IS THAT THE AND STRUCTURAL --

INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS ITEM? >> IT IS.

>> AND SO WHEN WE BUDGET , OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. THIS IS THE MONEY WE ARE GOING TO PUT TO IT. AT WHAT POINT DO WE REVISE OR MAKE WHATEVER CORRECTION NECESSARY TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE? BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE -- YEAH.

>> I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. SO YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

REALLOCATE THAT BASED OFF OF WHAT THE CONVERSATIONS WERE AND DECISIONS WERE FOR OUR LCAP. AND WE TRY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WE

[00:40:05]

FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU. IN AN LCAP TWO WORDS AS SUPPLEMENTAL COLLEGE, SO WHEN WE ARE OVER THE BUDGET KIND OF OPPOSITE THAT QUESTION , HOW DO WE RECONCILE THAT? WHEN OUR MIDYEAR IS OVER THE BUDGET AMOUNT FOR THESE ITEMS , DO WE MAKE THAT BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ? IS THAT DONE AT THE NEXT REPORTING?

HOW DOES THAT WORK? >> SO WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS WE BUDGET BASED OFF OF THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE, AND THEN WHEN CARRYOVER COMES, OUR SITES DECIDE THAT THERE IS A NEED IN THAT AREA, AND THEY WILL ALLOCATE THEIR FUNDING IN THAT AREA. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS. YOU ARE LOOKING AT 2.9. SO MORE FUNDING WAS PUT INTO THAT. I THINK IT IS 1.6. SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. SO THAT IS WHY IT IS MATCHING ALREADY. THAT IS EXPECTED TO STILL CONTINUE. IT IS GOING TO GO ABOVE THE 1.6 BECAUSE THERE IS ACTUALLY REVISED BUDGET THAT HAS MORE

FUNDING IN THAT ACTION. >> OKAY. SO WE WOULD JUST ADJUST IT TO WHATEVER IT IS THERE. BUT WE WOULD WAIT FOR CARRYOVER FUNDING BEFORE WE MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

>> TYPICALLY WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR PROPOSED BUDGETS IN APRIL.

AND THEN, YES, IN OCTOBER WE DO THAT REVISION ONCE -- CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, BUT -- ONCE THE REVISE IS IN FROM THE STATE AND EVERYTHING SO WE KNOW WHAT IS THE ACTUAL CARRYOVER WE CAN

ALLOCATE TO OUR SITES. >> WHATEVER THE STATE IS ASKING FOR IS A MIDYEAR UPDATE WHAT WE BUDGETED. THAT IS WHY WE LEAVE THOSE NUMBERS KIND OF IN LINE. THAT IS WHY WE DON'T DO A LOT OF BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS. IT IS WHAT THEY ARE ASKING AT THE MIDYEAR UPDATE. HOW FAR WE HAVE COME. THIS IS WHEN WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO ADJUST THAT AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THAT OR CARRY OVER INTO

THE NEXT YEAR. >> WE DO IT BOTH WAYS? SO WE ARE NOT NEAR THE BUDGET. WE LOWER THAT TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOMETHING

ELSE GETTING CLOSER. >> WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT.

>> OKAY. THE LCAP GOAL THREE. PARENT COMMUNICATION. ON THE LAST EXAMPLE, WE BROUGHT THE BUDGET UP TO WHERE THE MIDYEAR WAS, BUT ON THIS ONE WE ARE OVER. SO IS IT JUST KIND OF

EXPLAIN THAT ONE. >> IT IS SIMILAR TO 2.9. SO IT WAS BUDGETED AT A CERTAIN ONE TOO. SCHOOL SITES HAD CARRYOVER, SO THEY WERE DECIDING THAT THEY WANTED MORE IN THAT AREA , AND THEN THEY HAVE EXPENDED THAT. AND SO NOW IT HAS GONE ABOVE.

>> BUT DID WE ADJUST THE BUDGETED AMOUNT? THE LAST ONE LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE SAME SO WE HAVE ADJUSTED THE BUDGET FOR THE

EXPENDITURE. >> WE DID NOT ADJUST ANYTHING.

THE ONE NUMBER YOU HAVE THE FIRST ONE IS WHAT WAS BUDGETED.

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE IS WHAT HAS BEEN EXPENDED TO DATE.

>> OKAY. IT IS OFF BY A LITTLE BIT. YEAH. OKAY. LAST ONE. A LOT OF THESE HAVE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ATTACHED TO THE GOALS, BUT WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA INSTAGRAM, I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE ENROLLMENT CAMPAIGN AND THAT WORKING INTO THE LCAP .

DID WE NOT PUT A DOLLAR AMOUNT AS FAR AS THE ENROLLMENT CAMPAIGN? OR WOULD THAT BE IN ONE OF THESE OTHER LINE ITEMS?

>> AND ENROLLMENT CAMPAIGN, ALL THOSE PIECES WERE DEVELOPED AFTER THIS LCAP WAS DEVELOPED THIS PAST JUNE.

>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION, CAN I PIGGYBACK OFF THAT? IN THIS LCAP PARENT COMMUNICATION WE ONLY ALLOCATED $1200 AND WE ARE

[00:45:03]

>> THAT IS WHAT WAS ALLOCATED. >> WHAT DOES THAT INTEL CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE? IS IT FIRES, SOCIAL MEDIA? WHAT

DO WE GET FOR THE 1200? >> AT 1200 I WOULD SAY THAT OUR

FUNDING IS ACTUALLY . >> I KNOW IT SAYS 4000, WHICH I'M GLAD WE SPENT MORE BUT I'M WONDERING WHAT DO WE GET FOR THE

MONEY? >> I THINK THE PIECE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH CURRENT COMMUNICATION IS IN A DIFFERENT LINE ITEM WHERE THE PARENT COMMUNICATION TYPICALLY IS LIKE WEBSITES, MARQUEES OR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. BUT I WOULD SAY THEY ARE FUNDED OUT OF MORE OF A TECHNOLOGY FUND RIGHT NOW VERSUS HERE. SO IN THE ONE SO IN THE 17 SECTION.

>> OKAY, SORRY. GO AHEAD. >> THAT IS IT THANK YOU VERY

MUCH. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO? ALL

[13. CONSENT AGENDA]

>> YES MADAM PRESIDENT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO HOLD 13.3 AND 13.5. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHERS?

>> NO, THAT COVERS. >> HEARING ON CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AND WITHHOLD ITEMS 13.3 AND

13.5? >> SO MOVED.

>> A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> SELECTION OF MEMBERS TO THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION DELEGATE ASSEMBLY. I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THIS UP. I KNOW THERE ARE FIVE NAMES ON HERE. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

THERE ARE FIVE NAMES ON HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVE FOUR OF THE NAMES, I WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE NAME ] I FEEL THOSE FOUR ARE WARRANTED BUT I DO NOT FEEL THE

OTHER IS. ANY DISCUSSION? >> I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU.

>> ANY OTHERS? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 13.3 ROBERT CANCIO , CHRISTINE CHACON KENNEDY , ERNIE

NISHII AND CHRISTINE SAAVEDRA. >> CAN I GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE?

>> BOARD BY LAW 9150 STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS. CLERK CRIHFIELD?

>> THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. ONE THING FROM THE LAST DISCUSSION FROM THE FIRST READ. THERE IS A PART IN THE TOP AND AGAIN STATED AT THE BOTTOM STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS MAY RECEIVE CREDIT , BY WHAT WE TALKED I THINK IT SHOULD BE CHANGED FROM MAY TO SHALLOW. I KNOW WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON THAT SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THAT IS A POSSIBILITY AND HOW WE

CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. >> DO YOU ALSO THINK IT SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE SECOND PARAGRAPH?

>> I THINK BECAUSE IT IS STATED TWICE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PHRASING MAY BE CLEAN IT UP AND MAKE IT VERY CLEAR. WHETHER IT

IS THE SECOND PART OF? >> THE SECOND, STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS MAY RECEIVE ELECTIVE COURSE CREDIT FOR SERVICE OF STUDENT BOARD MEMBER BASED ON NUMBER OF EQUIVALENT DAILY INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES FOR THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER SERVICES PROVIDED AT THE END STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE CREDIT AT THE CONCLUSION OF EACH SEMESTER. IT KIND OF REPEATS A LITTLE BIT, SO THINKING CLEANING THAT UP? TO IMPROVE YOU NEED TO SAY SPECIFICALLY HOW YOU WANT IT. GOTCHA.

>> SO I WOULD MOVE TO HAVE IT SAY STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS , I LOST MY SPOT SHALL RECEIVE ELECTIVE COURSE CREDIT FOR SERVICE AS STUDENT BOARD MEMBER BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EQUIVALENT DAILY INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES I GUESS THAT PART OF IT , HOW IT'S DONE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. I WOULD SAY SHALL RECEIVE COURSE

[14. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS]

>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE TODAY I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

TODAY I ATTENDED A PRINCIPAL CABINET MEETING WITH MR. DIAS AND MY FELLOW PEERS. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO BRING UP BECAUSE WE DISCUSSED THE BELL SCHEDULE AND DO SOME MIDDLE SCHOOLERS SHOULD BE HAVING SEVENTH AND EIGHTH PERIOD INSTEAD OF LEAVING SO EARLY. ALSO GETTING INPUT FROM STUDENTS, I FEEL IT IS EXTREMELY NECESSARY. THAT'S WHAT I DID. AND THEN ALSO THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO BRING UP IN THE SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY MEETING. ALSO YESTERDAY, MAYFAIR HAD OUR FIRST ELECTIVE FAIR WHICH IS NEW. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO SEE ELECTIVES THAT THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT SUCH AS PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN OR BEING A TUTOR . THERE IS MANY PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS TO LOOK INTO AND REFILL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AT MAYFAIR WHICH IS WHY WE STARTED THE ELECTIVE FAIR. ALSO TOMORROW, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DISABILITIES AWARENESS ASSEMBLY IS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND REFILL IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS. THAT IS

ALL, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOARD

MEMBER ARMSTRONG. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT STEWART.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING. FEBRUARY SUCH A SHORT MONTH, HOWEVER, MANY THINGS ARE CELEBRATED AND/OR BROUGHT INTO REMEMBRANCE. SOME ARE AMERICAN HEART MONTH SO YOU KNOW THEY WANT YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE TIME OUT AND GET YOUR HEART CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOUR HEART IS HEALTHY. I'M PREACHING TO MYSELF, TOO. I NEED TO EXERCISE MORE. I REALLY DO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MAKE THE TIME BECAUSE WE ARE ALL VERY BUSY BUT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT. WE HAD VALENTINE'S DAY AND I HEARD SOME OF MY FRIENDS SAY YEAH, VALENTINE'S DAY THAT'S NATIONAL SINGLES AWARENESS DAY. I GOT A LITTLE CHUCKLE OUT OF THAT AND I DID NOT KNOW IT BUT IT WAS NATIONAL CANCER PREVENTION MONTH. IT IS NATIONAL CANCER PREVENTION MONTH. AND YOU KNOW WITH THAT EARLY DETECTION IS BEST, THEY SAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TOUCHED WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS OR EVEN YOURSELF WITH CANCER, BUT DO YOUR BEST TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND GET CHECKED OUT. SO IF SOMETHING IS GOING ON WE CAN PREVENT OR CATCH IT EARLY. THIS IS SOMETHING, THE NEXT THING IS WHAT I ALWAYS TAKE PRIDE IN AND I DO LOTS OF ACTIVITIES AT SCHOOL WITH MY CLASS. NATIONAL CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH. IT IS A LOT OF FUN, THE KIDS HAVE A CHANCE TO GET MESSY AND APPARENT LIKE IT EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF MY KIDS ALREADY HAVE THOSE SILVER TEETH. THEY WILL HAVE PERMANENT TEETH COMING IN. I ALWAYS REFER TO MY CHILDREN'S DENTIST BECAUSE HE WAS ONE OF THE DENTISTS THAT MADE IT MANDATORY FOR KINDERGARTNERS TO GET CHECKED OUT BEFORE THEY START SCHOOL. SO YOU KNOW DR. CORTEZ , SANTOS CORTEZ WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THAT PASSED. AND OF COURSE BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I DON'T KNOW, I DID NOT NOTICE A LOT OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR IT BUT

[00:55:05]

MARTIN LUTHER KING , BLACK HISTORY. SO AGAIN A SHORT MONTH.

I CANNOT GO THROUGH EVERYTHING, BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND WILL STILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IN THE SHORT MONTH. ALSO, I'M KIND OF UPSET ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MISS IT , AT MAYFAIR HIGH SCHOOL MAYFAIR WILL BE HOSTING THE ABILITY AWARENESS ASSEMBLY TOMORROW MORNING. AND HAVE TO MISS IT BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO WORK I CAN'T TAKE OFF. SO ANYWAY KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE LOTS OF FUN, LOTS OF RALLYING. I HAVE PARTICIPATED BEFORE, BUT I HAD SO MUCH FUN. THEY HAVE FUN.

HAVE FUN AND TELL ME HOW MUCH I MISS IT. IF YOU GUYS GO, TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, YOU KNOW AS BOARD MEMBERS WE ALL GET A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT PASSES THROUGH US AND I WANT TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE JACKSON BURNS, ROBERT FORSTER, MARIANA PEREZ AND ALFREDO MARTINEZ. THEY ARE ALL MAYFAIR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THEY WERE AWARDED THE GOLD MEDAL FOR REGION THREE LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS CONFERENCE. THEY HAVE ADVANCED TO THE STATE COMPETITION. I TELL YOU I AM PROUD OF THEM, I DON'T THINK I COULD DO THAT. I DON'T HAVE THAT TECHNOLOGICAL MIND. IT WAS RIGHT THERE. SO ANYWAY, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING AND THANK YOU MADAME PRESIDENT.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. BOARD MEMBER

>> I WILL PIGGYBACK ON THE SKILLS USA , MY DAUGHTER ALSO ANTICIPATED HER SENIOR YEAR OR JUNIOR YEAR AND IF I LIKE JUNIOR AND SENIOR. I WANT TO SHOUT OUT AND SHE WAS A MAYFAIR STUDENT SO I WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO MAYFAIR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB ALL HIGH SCHOOLERS ARE ESPECIALLY SENIORS. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR SOME OF THE SENIORS HERE TONIGHT, BUT IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO SKILLS USA, ESPECIALLY AS POC, ESPECIALLY AS A YOUNG FEMALE. TO GO ON TO STATE. IT MEANS THEY ARE MAKING WAVES SO I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU KNOW, A SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE THAT COMPETE NEXT YEAR. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> CLERK CRIHFIELD. >> THANK YOU MADAME PRESIDENT.

VERY EXCITED AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THE ABILITY AWARENESS ASSEMBLY MAYFAIR TOMORROW. I WAS GET CHOKED UP AT THAT EVERY YEAR. IT IS A REALLY TOUCHING ASSEMBLY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, ALSO LOOKING FORWARD AND I WILL PLUG IT AGAIN, THE CAREER EXPO AND RESOURCE FAIR FEBRUARY 22, 9:00 UNTIL 1:00 AT BELLFLOWER HIGH SCHOOL. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK , I UNDERSTAND IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE DONE THAT AND IT'S A LOT ABOUT THE DESIRE TO HIRE , TO FILL THE POSITIONS WE BUDGETED FOR AND GET THE BEST PEOPLE POSSIBLE SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THAT. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. MY HIGHLIGHT LAST WEEK WAS A PODCAST I DID WITH PRESIDENT STEWART, THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING. ALWAYS A FUN ONE SHE IS MY FAVORITE GUEST AND CONGRATS TO MAYFAIR WRESTLING.

THEY HAD AN AWESOME SEASON, THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS DID REALLY REALLY WELL. I MENTIONED EARLIER THE SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING FOR TUESDAY, THANK YOU TO PRESIDENT STEWART FOR STARTING THE STANDING COMMITTEE WHICH IS GOING TO KEEP ON GOING SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN CONTINUALLY ADDRESS. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR STARTING THAT. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP. AND I KNOW WE HAVE I WOULD SAY WE ARE VERY ENGAGED ANY ACTIVE BOARD AND WE ARE ACCESSIBLE AND

[01:00:05]

IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO BE ON THE BOARD WITH ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU STAFF AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU CLERK CRIHFIELD. VICE PRESIDENT GARZA?

>> YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME FOLLOW THAT? MY GOODNESS. I JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH I DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE US TO ELEVATE ALL VOICES IN THE CLASSROOM WHO SOMETIMES ARE OVERLOOKED. MAYBE JUST DOING IT FOR EVERYBODY AS WELL BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO COME AND BE NEEDING HELP OR MAYBE NOT SEEING THEMSELVES. DEFINITELY LET'S CELEBRATE STUDENTS WHO NEED THAT ELEVATION IN THEIR VOICE WITHIN THE CURRICULUM AND ALSO WANTED TO THANK STAFF FOR THE ARDUOUS HARD WORK WITH OUR JOB FAIR EXPO . I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR YOU WHILE SO TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION SO EXCITING FOR ME. AND I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU, I DON'T HAVE A LOT EITHER TONIGHT. NOT A LOT OF EVENTS THE LAST FEW WEEKS BUT THE ONLY THING I DID WAS I MET WITH THE PTA PRESIDENT LINDA MORGAN AND WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION LAST WEEK. I WILL GO OUT ON A LIMB AND CREATE MY OWN BOARD REPORT BASED ON HOW I FEEL. THE COMMUNITY KNOWS I WILL SAY HOW I FEEL MOST THE TIME AND I'M GOING TO TONIGHT AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT NEGOTIATIONS. THERE'S NOT MUCH WE CAN SAY BECAUSE MOST OF IT IS CONFIDENTIAL, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS I CAN SAY AND I'M GOING TO. I DO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THE ONLY WAY NEGOTIATIONS CAN WORK IS OF BOTH PARTIES ARE RESPECTFUL TO EACH OTHER THAT IS A MUST OR NOTHING GETS DONE. I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT WE DO SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON STUDENTS AND WHAT IS BEST FOR STUDENTS. I AM A TEACHER BUT I BELIEVE WE NEED TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR STUDENTS AND WHAT'S BEST FOR STUDENTS IS WHAT'S BEST FOR TEACHERS. I BELIEVE THAT IN MY HEART. NEXT I FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED. IN ANY GOOD NEGOTIATIONS NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO WORK ON THINGS THAN WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH? SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT AND THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS I AM A BIG PROPONENT LIKE IT OR NOT A BLOCK SCHEDULING WHEN DONE CORRECTLY. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE WERE STUDIES WE ALL LOOKED INTO ABOUT BLOCK SCHEDULE AND WHY IT BENEFITED OUR STUDENTS. AGAIN STUDENTS.

THEY COULD GET INTERVENTION, CREDIT RECOVERY, THEY COULD DO THESE THINGS AND I'M A PERSON WHO DID NOT WANT TO GO TO BLOCK SCHEDULE AS A TEACHER. I DID NOT WANT TO DO IT I DIDN'T LIKE IT AND WE DID IT AND I THINK IT'S HELPING STUDENTS AT MY SCHOOL BUT WE DO IT RIGHT. WE HAVE EIGHT PERIODS AND HAVE TO GO TO EIGHT PERIODS. I WILL TELL YOU SOMETIMES WE HAVE DIFFERENT SCHEDULES AND I DRIVE BY THE HIGH SCHOOL SOMETIMES AND I SEE KIDS GETTING OUT AT 1:45 AND IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.

THERE'S NO WAY ALL KIDS SHOULD BE GETTING OUT AT 1:45 EVERY DAY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT FOR STUDENTS. SO WE'RE
