you do not test on the dashboard and we we really want to know everybody's doing because as mr. Tran mentioned that opportunity Gap that's where this team lives because we do need to make that better and so now that we know we can all be better if we shared and we all do but we all do better we do more we do different and that we put in support thank you so much potassium in looking at the the number of students who on the on the dashboard 7 out of Forney one of our on how students didn't complete the tests and there's a huge penalty for that and low and behold that's one of the groups that have the mail lowest score of that score May not reflect their actual score and to their tunnel built into that and so you know I don't know that it's by the house families choosing not to take the test so part of what we need to do is also look at how can we support people you know to be at school because ultimately being in school is the most important thing but also to complete the task it may not be a matter of choice in the matter of opting out it may just be a matter of life is hectic you know and that's not the priority so how can we support the photos be more successful and are making such an excellent point and as we weave that into the next area of action for student groups and we continue lunch and it's definitely something we're going to include cuz it's important so if it's all right I'm going to go on to the math cuz we have a few more slides and I know there's other people we want to talk to you soon so in terms of academic performance in math and our distance from standard overall Austin is -7.1 so we'll look at the visual and just a moment but here is your son standouts right we have - 72 in terms of African American black event on the math test we have I won't read all these you cuz you all can read and we'll look at the next light as well but are English Learners are at -41 points from standard now the English Learners is a diverse group there are English Learners all English Learners their English learners listen to be like today at and that can be something within the Friday might as well there's the reclassified English Learners and then there's the comparison to overall and so I told them I told this so This dad that I was going to what he said and he did say that this is a diverse group and it shows if our reclassified kiddos are doing so well there a program works at so I'm going to borrow that so also are Hispanic students are - 48 it is experiencing homelessness the state uses the term homeless the best why it is spelled out that way or - 123 points and our students with disabilities or - 111 so what we we are going to do is play we saw that overall we were doing we were doing well in comparison but when you look at the student groups who tells a different story and here we have a lot of opportunity to store up for the gaps and so if we look at the next light which is that 20 is the gas at standard and then if we look below you can see visually what we were talking about this pause to tell you that and the opportunity Gap is 178 points from the from the student group is performing the highest and the most important and so there is an opportune for us to be able to support students to communicate this and to wish build supports in place which will dr. Garner if he's going to go into a deep dive around our an academic engagement regarding our student engagement fingers this is The Chronic absenteeism in the next five will be the graduation rate as you can see just all the way through there is it's being bad our students expired experiencing homelessness in students with disabilities continue highlighted throughout our program throughout our presentation I just wanted to make a note that our students experiencing homelessness is 107 in the district but chronic absenteeism as I said in my last line is only AAA so that's the difference between those number so I wanted to point that out but we do see between those two columns the absenteeism rate so for example students experiencing homelessness 42% and 42.6% that means that 50 at 2354 are experiencing are experiencing chronic absenteeism in just as was alluded today I mean those reasons could be anxiety Southwest housing housing instability transportation and stability so some of these things we have to concentrate Barber academics point that out as well so thank you for that so I I won't read all of it for you but go ahead and look at be at the scores and I didn't want to just dilute really quick and see some of the cut scores what is considered to be married at 5 the stage so it is for chronic absenteeism 20% or higher so that and it shows you some of the struggles that our students had during the first opening year we are the ability to injector check out our chronic absenteeism is going so far this year because this is last year and last year was the year full of what was full covid Pacific and what is just kind of long-term lingering problems that we need to work on some information systems that we use so we can get that information compute pandemic future so yes we definitely can do that we just want to keep in mind that we are just solely looking at this this year and try not to compare anything so that we can move forward with what 200 students have experience and we did bring up the point that this date is not it's not very recent and so we do need to look at some more recent data as well but right now so you know you could say it was on track to be are we on track to have fewer students are chronically absent are we on track to have the same number of students are chronically absent as well as work involved with PTI working with where's monitoring systems that house and she just packed up all our students who need help are getting it and so yeah that's the part of our our theory of action as well I appreciate that comment Center Garner I see that native Hawaiian or Pacific calendar have alarming numbers and at the same time are a small subgroup so it's does that explain why they aren't absolutely associated with differentiated assistance right I do know that smaller groups of students if there's a smaller stubs group of students that the percentage will be higher based on you know how many students are experiencing whatever indicator were talking about so this will you have 14 Native American native Hawaiians of Pacific Islanders and 5 to have experienced chronic absenteeism. Definitely impacts the percentage for that particular group but they clearly are above the cut or below the cut whatever about her below but you know what I mean because the students with disabilities are 24.1 so is the fact that it's a small body and and the second question is because we're getting differentiated assistance can we be assured that the interventions that support her on how students and students with disabilities will also be supporting our native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students thank you for that comment we are going to go over while we qualify for differentiated assist later on in the presentation and that will probably help Enlighten us on to the reason why which groups of Columbine all right these this is another indicator obviously of our academic engagement it's our graduation rates I'm we can see that out of our number of graduates of 584 97% graduated for African-American students 95 of our students and 95% of our students graduate at a 95 didn't they were to be five graduates 96% graduation rate for English Learners there were 28 students 96% graduated or are Latino Hispanic students 101 graduates 96% weighted bar students experiencing homelessness 16 94% graduated or associate when there's a small group of students obviously don't do the percentage so just just make a note so we can get that information for you as of if you request it or socioeconomic disadvantage 305 and 95% of them graduated for students with disabilities they were 56th and 91% graduated I think was 91.9 switch 92% we do name for a hundred percent but that 92% we will keep an eye on him for two or more races 50 reported at 100% to graduated and more are white students 170 and 97% graduated so those are those are those are numbers that we can look at him and be proud of but we definitely will keep an eye on the guy obviously that we just talked about between our highest performing student groups and our student groups that might be struggling or having lower graduation rates would definitely going to concentrate on that I do that I'm going to go ahead and turn over to dr. Ray and so we just got our pensions and our different subgroups call Ariel 1% unless the Way I Am by all standards is a is a very low assessment number we can suspension training school no more. If it's best to be engaged PBIS and different practices as well as allows for a dryer air suspension rates as as a different group and although I do see each subgroup maybe between 0.32 and 1.0 many more so with that we do we can work with continue to have those pallets of course in the new services to help Medicaid and drop the lower and as we discussed with our highlighted area which is 107.84 again and I'll give you your trip into what we've been discussing further with different than burying issues homes knows where I'd submit your range is maybe a little higher how many of the students who may who may be a silk I guess you also maybe when you get to being a start or star student with in that situation so that might lead to the number being alone 84 Lumber bring it down to your lower earlier where are the attributes of possibly and as well as the state of California weather housing issues and things like that is never being a little hard and been most but overall having a major race for bracket is Scooby-Doo this assessment in how do you turn this to keep me encouraged in our school since you've been a good word with Lawrence numbers that's in the area can I get a highlighted in yellow so this is where we're going to work in a house mean so the dashboard was publicly released on December 15th of 2020 to December 19th we learned of consequence there are. It's a quick and for a long long time ago for those of you who've been around for a while as of my 28 year it was called program and prevent another line so in the criteria for two or more lcff priorities priorities which are listed in the schematic and we'll go we'll go through our differentiated assistance so we have two student groups attention to a few student groups that are not that have opportunity gaps that are not where we want them to be but if particular focus in terms of this presentation and differentiated assistants are our students who are categorizes homeless to use which is 1.5% of our total student body which is a total of 107 students and students with disabilities which is 10% of our total student population which is 691 total students and then if we at the state priority of which which we need to make sure that we are where they where the students did not meet the standard of requirement is in pupil achievement School climate people engagement so for looking across at homeless youth in terms of pass students in English language arts for -86 points in terms of distance from standard and in math were - 123 in those passing grade students there's a different number so I know but it's complicated and when we're talking about those I don't want you to see different numbers in different places we spotted them out and then in terms of school climate conditions and climate we went over that slide you saw the yellow or suspension rate for students who are homeless is 8.4 which and can we have a total of 100 and students that would be in that certain group of people engagement which remembers just the K-8 is 54 students and our chronic absenteeism is 43% and we just have a few more slides I asked about the numbers from Aunt I should have asked on a previous slide for you so can you explain around and duplication and duplicated means and what would happen if a student fell into two or more of the degrees on a previous panda is is a difference at 4 would be low income the state categorize is it English for English Learners and Foster youth so those are those are the categories and so if a student falls in in more than one they they can only be counted w in this case so on the previous page but I'm sure there are students who fall into more than one of the categories identified there where do they show up how do we conceptualize that that is as a great question and we can get back to you about the specifics that is in the technical guide we can thank you are when we're looking at are state or local in Decatur and we talked about the suspension rate for homeless students so when we talked about low-income a homeless is kind of subsumed under that and we talked about The Chronic absenteeism which is 40% and then we look at those students G dance with disabilities we have pupil achievement and people engagement or where students did not meet and Castiel a is -76 and I'm just as from standard math wasn't 100 11 and then in terms of chronic absenteeism is 24% 1/8 which is 115 students so we're going to now go to the next slide if that's okay I'm in terms of the letter receipt from Waco on December 19th it said this is said we're contacting you to provide background and update and to explain what you can expect from like telling the upcoming weeks in months Lego will be our technical assistance provider we have within within the district office we have experience with this kind of support this type of work how many years did program improvement work so we are already jumping into all of this and LA county has 80 school districts and 75% of those school districts have now entered differentiated assistance so formally we will seed when we are invited to the United meeting and given the county Ramblers but we're going to begin developing that plan and working with all of our colleagues to move this forward so if we could go to the neck dr. Garner also I'm a big fan of continuous Improvement because they dad drives it so this is what am I A Little Wheel houses but so the continuous Improvement I wish I could Direction the vision of what we want to do and what we want to students can learn it in our problem practice is nearing that achievement got or the opportunity got that we saw on the previous slides we will assess the needs as we're currently doing now we're go create a strategic plan to make sure our students are are being successful with the plan that we said if not. Just it so we're going to measure the effectiveness at all levels of the system School in classroom analyzes them structured data and practices through the lens of the MPS at home equity Frameworks action research on inclusion and teaching for equity when identify problems in practice and we're going to conduct root cause analysis somewhat of an action research progress monitoring a more normalized system we are working on that right now we've already talked to RTL news about the vision of where we want to be and they are very much enthusiasm about doing this work as well as our ncsss they know that we want to see a continuous improvement improvement structure fact I'm through our school so that we can monitor in real-time the date of that we have right now our students are dealing with that I will take it so as we as we are fairly new team and Educational Services the first thing that we had to do was establish our continuous Improvement model and traitor theory of action so if you want to go we did that and we've worked through it terms of his continuous Improvement model because as you all know a series of actions are recurrent it's a curse that process you're always were signing and redeveloping and so with that and that in mind we assess needs on preliminary data and where we needed to move forward we did that strategic plan being that theory of action we have began implementing it in our in our different professional development working with the expense add services in ketosis to work at full site and then adjusting as needed to make sure that we're doing the things that we need to do and let me share some of those specifically with you so our services around our problem of practice my calendar practice is soon as families and Educators need a clear understanding of how we are narrowing the opportunity Gap and Ed's in Educational Services in order to improve student outcomes as evidenced by our district data I need assessment was conducted to analyze the trend data we detail it and the S Services theory of action specifically at Services is developing a cohesive articulated program map which are also known as the hurricane that's what you heard about earlier day of the good work love I noticed doing so we can and that work is is we got that work going on everywhere everybody's working 2 to begin that process and a Matic our best practices and resources to come up with that live the bees are our signature practices these are the best practices that if we do them Patty says their research face and they make they make movement for kids right. That's that's what we need to do and so we are looking at development of individualized learning plans are Isle keys for African American black students and then other student groups as you've learned about tonight and then presentation and were you think he'll seize as a part of the continuous Improvement best chicken plate that day to reduce cycle after we do a screen or or an assessment we look at our student data and our plc's our focus and aligned to improve student learning outcomes ultimately we focus on improving student data our students will be guaranteed a standards-aligned Bible curriculum implementing implementing this will be College and Career prepared as we move through this continuous Improvement cycle we use our mtss teams and we make sure that our progress monitoring tells us where students are today so we can project out where they'll be tomorrow and we know what they need in the inter so it is it is always a pleasure and a delight to work with it the division of d i as they're moving their work through with Barry AC you talk about African-American black student achievement to so talk about an African American black students are working in tandem to crazy's individualized learning plans for the student groups and we are making sure that Well site leaders have the support that they need as the GI division of student Family Support Services already support that start start processing terms of attendance but they're also creating an attendance Improvement plan as it was one of our air is work on and as you heard earlier suspension data is being desegregated by student group there's a presentation for principles and admin and then the thread will go through the rest of our partner groups on January 26th by GI and Family Support Services subsequently that information as it goes through will go to EAC and other partner groups as well we thank you for your time and we open the floor your questions board members I would like to First since all of us had a chance to ask questions questions for us again thank you so much we're going to try to stay awake anybody who would like to provide public comment on Zoom or in person please raise your hand if we couldn't finally got put down the yes screen thank you so much we will do two minutes correct if anyone would like to ask a question now see anybody I don't see anybody know we are now closing public comment thank you very much questions from our board and we'll start with Isadora inside what's a slide where we were looking at the graduation rates from all of the respective States and I'm wondering if it's possible at some point to see these numbers right next to the person that we're at 8:30 Alan the boss but you have that right now but I can ask what that looks like what that was that's a little different is to Vernon secondary that's a great question I like to know if you have any information to share that would look like that will the Dai Division and Family Support Services is working on that so I know they'll be excited to put information in the Friday memo for you and last the other question about suspension rates positively for on how students I was seeing 8.4% out of 179 students and I'm wondering are we contributing to that an excellent question likely win that would be a logical hypothesis when the group desegregated the date of that could be a possibility so they will be able to report out about what you want to talk about please come to the to the mind what can you restate the question what percent out of 107 students so that's a nine students and I'm wondering if only applies to K through 8 and mugs of the suspension that you're looking at is high school so it may apply to the few students that were in middle school but it does the absenteeism isn't part of the indicator not for high school students middle school students suspension and see how that is tied to we are seeing the same Trends in high school if I may just want for the definition purpose to Katie kronick absenteeism definition is that the students are gone from school 18 or more days out of the Year regardless of me so if you happen to have an 8th grader and we suspended that child and that's why I have to be a homeless student and we send them home for 5 days those days are counted as part of The Chronic absenteeism definition to say has a change that definition sins set up many years ago so I believe it's still the same way so yes sometime about home action is causing our own grease and not realizing it is just a a highly vulnerable population and not realizing that the child is in his that a traitor is a a child who's 6 Rings homelessness and to be able to do anything. they're working on their plan so if you're going to hear from Dai regarding attendance and the attacker gated suspension data so we have a lot of intersectionality and represent on the dashboard and they're doing teamwork and it just happened to be a lovely coincidence that direct them up this is here and jumped up thank you one of the six questions that I injected we can talk about this later but one of the questions that came up in my mind as you were speaking to the graduation way was the last year was the year of a B104 Corral so I guess so in that year you know we had the CD said that we could be relaxed our or that we should be able to access our guidelines for graduation but I also am looking at it for you know that are Democrats are our student groups that do have the greater need and it does follow the same patterns and you know for for me I don't also want to consider whether or not they are student retention and are these students repeating or are they dropping out or are they finding a different Pathway to The Graduate diploma because I mean if it's later on that we find out what we need in order to succeed in life then I mean that's it's not always that it's graduation that is a requirement in that year we are that we are creating that we are helping students become ready for their future so I also want to hear a little bit more about I want a second what dr. Katz said about you know how we're looking at duplicated on a assistant see that data and also when we when I love how we're talking about what are those I would also like to understand what if you could also set up I love how the expectations of being set up but I also must eat here about goalposts and dates and that sort of thing so you know and why and if those goal posts are probably looking at it now or but you know to mr. Guerreros point we should be looking at the data that we already have passed past West Spring and Easter and coming up because now that we know we need to immediately interrupt what is what is happening if if we can't save it the idea that mr. Isadora is saying that we are being double counted and you know this is a pattern it's okay that we are being called out on The Chronic absenteeism cuz it's it's because of the suspension if no two related things then let's let's make sure that we are you know keeping that in mind that when we're finding solutions to all of this so so I look forward to hearing more about about these questions thank you it was a pleasure to hear from you both in addition to dr. Baxter so thanks for being here tonight and I know that this is really past your bedtime to be recognized sorry my hesitation is making it seem so daunting I did it. It's not intentional I know people are asking about. Georgie and I understand that the dashboard using language around College and Career Readiness the where is that so it's not ready to report that yet and so likely will go live soon and then we'll try our best to get see you as soon as possible and turns her presentation we can do an internal poll it takes a bit of time cuz it has to be manually sort it so that's why I wasn't able to get to that question right today we were able to get through some other some other items just need a week and I've been recording the typing the questions that you all have been asking so hopefully we can get most of that to you on Friday mama was quick to see if we can actually maybe I should back up for a moment and moment and say I do want to acknowledge that it was not this presentation that I fully understood that this is our first look at the work is to be presented and committees will need to be sure we're sitting in those rooms too and I think I want us to get in the habit of talking about committees and Friday reports Friday my most because I don't want the public to think that the board is privy to a whole bunch of information that the community is not and so I just want to make sure that we're saying are not these plans as they're being developed to be presented and committees Casey on top at the end of our presentation because we we excited to share this and and it is a part of who we are we're looking at student achievement are there other committees I didn't name where where we'll be seeing these attendants Plans by LP plans. We work at wework Susie lag we presented a cursory dashboard presentation focus on English Learners with you like this morning we met with him at 9 so those are our big  El Cap pack and also we need to resent this a two six pack and to make where are our families that works for that she meant for students with disabilities have access to this information as well and that will be subsumed under the inclusion plan likely as we saw in that each school is having the same effect tonight that's true at this level and as we as we mentioned that school date is going to be that will be through the mechanism of School site Council cuz they do data Dives on their data so so the community call the school and then they can write this type of data for each School site not just a does a hole and in service is traditionally does so I'm at we give that to the school sites and they use it with their School site Council that use it in their plc's and it's a part of their regular progress monitoring smart goals I heard you say January 26th as a date went when do you expect these games to be working on their data and working on their ilt is in attendance plans right now the 26th is a date that said dr. Smith I've got to go back to my house I'm sorry it is close to 10 so I'm kind of lost that thought on the 6th they're going to on the 26th the team is going to the principles and yes I can set up a meeting with the principal outside of the prefix is b r i n n relieving conversation delving into that suspension data and what else what else on the 26th. that's what we're working on in terms of we got the antennas looking at suspension de 20 that's what is is primarily suspension because questions about what can you suspend 4 we suspend when should we suspend between to clarify our vision and view of that in light of the data but in light of our cultural climate and engaging the black just because of the how are we interacting with our children what are we support that we offering what is the mental health status what is their social emotional needs we have to figure that out his will will get some of the info when we're talking about fighting will get some of that coming out when we get our survey results and strategic telling me to put you on the spot there but I knew you had it when when will the county be here and with whom are they interacting if you're busy right now so we're going to begin all of the work and they will be interacting with a team so it's generally a vertical team of educators of course it includes assistance to Middleton principles system educator Simpson black lace and classroom teachers so we can do that deep work of root cause analysis and create at the areas of action so we'll be able to we're going to begin that plan so we can have that permission to Lako so the aisle cheese that you refer to these are individualized learning plans for the subgroups and you name African American black students hotels which are long-term English Learners are and how students are students with disabilities individual learning plan is regarding an individual student or an individual subgroup of every student by name and so working through this allowed if we in a mechanism that supports our Educators as we as we as we move this work forward it's going to be a piece that really will spell out what is need in order to be successful when in my form of work when we've created those I've seen huge gains and so we need to move this forward and we're lucky we have a lot of we have colleagues and as a sentence of educational services at the school sites you can assist us in this work okay so it's going to happen at the site level so it will still be supporting to make sure that yeah that's a question cuz I know that we're still I mean I know there still a professional development have an x on the structure and format and effectiveness of PLC is never mind the nature of the detailed work that they're doing so I just I hope that we can be on I don't want us to come out with i l p is that are really strong for a whole site and Lester on for another site just by nature of ignoring the fact that the PLC itself was an area of growth when you take out when you go outside to go fast so we're going to have to make sure it's been well and then we will support that work that's a really good question about an attendance plan for the high school and that the data was not looked at by the state what is the data can you tell us being on a gas into using numbers for the Xbox that and I we can share thank you please and I do hope it'll come and go through Friday report as well as that committee committee meeting and those are my questions for now thank you so much for this little angel thank you very much dr. Baxter dr. granted us to dr. Rice I really appreciate that the presentation I appreciate the addition sensor went out the emphasis on on student groups because our overall averages great and that's fantastic and we can celebrate that and be proud of that but it really obscures the differences between some students achievement experience is so thank you very much for that my concern with is always the execution of the plants and so with this I think I think all of these problems that existed for a while to do we tried things in the asked to work on them to make success sometimes it's been proven sometimes they're there has it but I think the opportunity are eligibility for a differentiated assistant I think really highlights our need to get this done I meant so I would really like the bullets that you've identified in your continuous Improvement cycle I would like updates on those bullets so where it goes through and it says will measure the effectiveness of all levels I'd like to know maybe not the next meeting but in a month what are we done to measure the effect of this Analyze This destruction all right in a month what are we done in a classroom Insight little action research all right for now what have we done what problems have we identified what route have we identified just going through every one of those I mean I know it's a lot of work but I almost have envisioned a spreadsheet with nine columns you know and to be able to come back in in a month and see what's happened in each of these areas and maybe it's not yet because the other day but I want to see you in all of these areas what are we accomplishing and how are we moving for it because you can write down to figure out what the root cause is our buddy ever do we ever get to that and do we ever figure out what the root causes are and so I don't know if it's a really do an update to the school board at one of our meetings probably you know maybe in the Friday reports maybe the committee's so the public can see this but I definitely want to be the rest of the first Congress in all of these areas that that your team is identified and how would I particularly with our on how students and students with disabilities because those are the two student groups that were flags are differentiated assistance the performances of African-American students of Latino students English Learners of low-income students none of those are where they need to be and so all of those to extend although in the underlying highlight it is disability and pads because that's what state is on go ahead I like to close it up you're going to pick me up so I I also wanted to take this opportunity to remark on how we old items 10.4 and it's just a really appropriate it would have been a really appropriate follow-up to item 10.3 under ideal circumstances it was not ready and so it was it was variety of reasons but I don't want to miss the opportunity to like really implore that we not lose time just because we pulled that resolution tonight you know that I've been on the AC since the beginning and I've seen all the years that the equity advisory Council has been putting in an infant circular just in the last year alone black parents and Guardians have been reaching out asking for building a council to do achievement plan modeled after Santa monica-malibu in LAUSD at least a year and then I'm probably under estimating and so I just want to be absolutely positive that we are still as of yesterday or tomorrow being those families that are ready and have volunteered their time to be on a council to draft of Culver City Center black student achievement plan and I know that the work on all of the other identified group is also happening but we have families that are ready to go that have any credible academic expertise and professional experience that will lend itself to like this this plan will will you said the word magic before I mean these people have such Authority in this matter or not not to mention their love to experience that they're really posed to just whip it out and and then that it with the community and get the dock and so I just want the absolutely positive that we don't lose time on getting action-oriented documents that this board approved the fall of next year and that we are approving something this spring specifically for black students that will be implemented. that's what I really want to make sure Poppins yes but we have definitely made a note of that and it is a passion project the board members to like make your questions American size to the point because I I'm still recovering and I'm sure I see a lot of yawning in the audience 21 questions as a door and then Laredo I want to + 6 + 1 on that with dr. Kent but also there's a d a c meeting on Thursday I'm hoping that you or one of your colleagues can be at the AC meeting to address those members concerns and because you know this directly affects those those their students thank you is going back in the end I know that. My colleague dr. Ken had already bought him we can talk the other bodies by really want to double and triple down on the need or a black student achievement plan yesterday the need for a black parent Council yesterday so I just want to make sure that again losing time but also that we are clear eyes and focus that this is something that this body believes that the district needs and that we are working every single day to make sure that we're getting there. may I be permitted to operate two observations we were one of the very few districts to actually begin this conversation at the board level not the one and only but the one who may need to come about breaking down on data and then start looking at way to face the reality and and and begin to dig us out from the whole lot of sun post-pandemic I guess nightmare the different name the Temptation is to say that the depression test scores and the lack of achievement is due to the pandemic but the answer is not the pandemic wait a lot of our Effectiveness and how to serve all students but what did the entire State of California of the country for years and years and comes over the sense of urgency meeting the needs of students who are homeless is invited to dinner with special needs or back and I can show him the urgency it's not just today it's been in the system for so long and so now this is an opportunity for us to look into looking that way for differentiating resources sending it to do dinner the funding and then them and the house to where it needed the most to be able to say 2 or so and in this addressing. and I would have you when the student is is student in poverty homeless and happened to be African-American how does that work Stevenson on how students even though Vegas calling us out on chronic absenteeism we are not allowed to only addressing absenteeism but that's a group without a student we must address the whole thing holding across-the-board to Ling that cause a do what mr. agoreros mentioning is that if we learn to address some of the gaps in the issues with one of the student groups how does that work with the other groups the policies and the end of Protocols are legally adopting cannot because play focusing on one item when we get call out it has to address the entire group if it is one item the stage is expecting us to address the entirety of that therefore collectively the urgency and the end of totality of what we passing those issue with how to reset the commitment as well as the blood honestly of what we needed to do and so we're committed to that might made my support is to be absolutely clear and then to check the face we always we always all of this to our community there's not one end and Now's the Time to to move forward and Doc Smith all of us has now committed to addressing this will be also working to that in the funding in the at the school site will be fully database and we go from there we will go from there picture of Bernadette so I said I was going to close it so I'm going to follow my own advice which is when do clear and concise questions please don't answer them today I'd like to know I heard that for example these are going to be solution at the side we saw all about you on that is hurting and also when I have met with their appeal a committee they talked about how they have to basically reconstruct the whole wheel I would like as you plan this plan to please consider that I'll do the genius lies within each site right because they have the cultural knowledge that context they also will benefit from some template and some collaboration from other site the second comment is about disrupting we need to disrupt this I know we're working on a plan but I would love to hear in the next board meeting have we talked to the nine students who were the word I'm sorry I mean the nine students that we suspended haven't talked to them where are they who are they why were they suspended nine students since I found out that there was my student haven't been able to sleep comfortably so can we please get something in the Friday memo please learn who are they are they primary secondary high school who are they we need to know we need to know they're okay we need some ASAP it seems like there is a potential need for a lot of collaboration here miss Montes office the DA office the School site offices and the disability director I would like to know this energy how how how are you all going to work right is a you're going to meet monthly everybody you're going to have separate meeting because I do think I do support having a black student achievement plan and I think we actually need and achievement plan generally to address our most vulnerable to students that are harming that we are army that we are under serving so we need an achievement plan for the one house we need an achievement planner the disabilities we need an achievement plan is a 1 I don't know should I express when I met with a BLT waxing email with the children would learn about signature practices also met with parents from Farragut talking about how teaching and we saw our black students how poorly they're doing so I'd like to know our exactly are we going to continue with that math signature practice or we going to Reba Morgan m cuz I want to know if we're moving forward to the field peas are doing this and then if we're changing direction then let us know and what is that direction thank you so much for her staying so late we really truly appreciated and we we are looking forward to just helping each and every student so that those Peaks and valleys are not so so high and so low that that we have everybody driving thank you or I'll wait wait for 10.5 thank you for the and a Missoula this evening before you a draft of the job description for middle school math intervention teacher this position was brought to us I need help from the middle school and so we created the job description we did take that job description to District partnership who reviewed it and I has provided some and I'm so either this is review and input for the Borg Loretta we need to point of order first time do we need to do this as an action item right so thank you my eye so my question is that we have thank you for putting in all of the aspects of equity that we think that the board has been asking for my question is especially in relation to the dashboard and and how we want to have not to have experience with working with a first population I want I would love to get to read like having success or experience with underserved populations. Just diapers specify the demographics that we definitely need help with such as a special abilities are on how to use English Learners are our black students whoever our demographic that makes sense in there because it's not enough to just serve diverse populations if it's that we are trying to identify the opportunity opportunity Gap and serve those that have that we lie and I have the greatest need though... that's my concern. Thank you and so I'll work with doctor doctor Baxter and also eye doctor Man by those population so that we can speak the job description space is mtss so clearly this is about and identified need out of the sites correct about that because I think it's a direct follow-up from the question that last one will now be in the Middle School brought this to our attention they they were talking about the math course of some of the subgroups that they've identified and so the need for the intervention teachers is to really Elevate those masks for that were specifically one of the elements here data-analysis meetings are really digging into the data interventions you know what what interventions can be most effective with those sub doctor Baxter if you have any background on the mass intervention teacher last year and will cite Council bencic action to allocate funding for an intervention teacher so it was a School site Council decision to allocate funds in this way to support math instruction to make sure that learning was a celebrated stop brings up other questions for me in a good way thank you I just want to make sure that this was discussed will be disgusted labor-management partnership and has been at 8 to have provided some feedback and can't thank you I'm going to open up for public comment Lowe's online or in person if you would like to come please raise your hand at this time and while we wait is there another question from the board it doesn't seem to be any hands and if the board would like to provide for their feedback after the board meeting will be posting it close to the end of the week so you're free well for me I just wanted to say thank you so much for adding English prefer on the job description it is my Legal Group apologize I did say I'm still recovering right. That my brain is shutting off I think going through the meeting with a child do you say it was clear how important it was for them the have Spanish-speaking colleagues and and I think that we all experienced at that although you may not need that language the situation may occur when it can be incredibly help sorry I'm really thankful for that Darlings anything else before question not of Leon this but just about drumsticks at the whole I was told by some crazy members that they've been asking for an equity statement in job description and I don't I'm not I'm not I'm not sure what that response has looked like or what tell A Raisin River City equity and inclusion only an educational practices but as a fundamental key to our hiring process is so this is specific for a job descriptions to get a written at least statement on the way I could you mean to them on the problem writing prompts at it but it didn't go through the AC for dad on Friday nothing else move a moving along that was 10.5 removing now to 13.1 and I'm assuming we are starting with the presentation thank you can you hear me okay all right there tonight for action for the board's consideration we bring to you a board resolution to support the graduating class of 2020 board resolution 20 is three things one is no Mark and MP and no Mark and m o n t which is no fast is a csuci guidance for transcript RAB 104 that only lasted for two years it is since Sunset it and addition board resolution 20 adjust the service learning hours to 28 because this graduating class they were sophomores at the onset of the pandemic and unable to complete Service Learning until they returned tonight board resolution provides a 130 graduation option for 30 seniors considered by the high school team because they were liked it and Bruce Lee by the covid worldwide pandemic although we know students struggled academically and socially and emotionally these 30 at least 30 children in particular work acted when we have a unique opportunity to assist these students specifically California Education Code section 51225 .38 the minimum graduation requirement for call education agencies like Silver City unified local Education Agency and it states that all people receiving a diploma on graduation from a California high school must have come all courses listed in the board resolution as it is presented which is a minimum of 130 and that that is the minimum that the state deems that needs to happen so this is a supportive measure I'm passing this resolution that ccusd can use in order to support this ad code the students so that we can afford our children the opportunity to enter Community College and graduate with a diploma these students overall the 30 students 25 from the high school by veteran iacademy they represent this configuration more or less Southern 30 kiddos and 28 more African-American 3% of them are Asian Indian that 41% of them are Hispanic to Latin X 24% of them are white person or two or more races 52% of them 48% of the students are female 10% of students with disabilities 3% are English Learners 21% of the kiddos are classified the socioeconomically disadvantaged the numbers could get to be in more than one group here we need to get that that information to you and then give him and talented students at 3% so we have a moral imperative that is that code appropriate an obligation to stuff is 30 impacted students in any way we can while meeting the state at code that's in place to support our children thank you for your consideration we're going to start with as a door you so much by the covid-19 pandemic that we will be passing ultranet graduation requirements if I could point of order excuse me I apologize this is an action item so we need a motion can I get a how much are cruise thank you okay now we will proceed with discussion writing class this coming June they started in person their freshman year and then they wouldn't straight onto distance learning or year-and-a-half almost 2 years of disruption. We are look a possibility of also doing something not quite the same thing but should the numbers turned out to be harmful class of 2024 and starting out on long distance but so-called the data seemed to be stabilizing and we're not looking at vast number of students not making the grades so this stage guidance to us is that they're putting everybody be in place to support 2023 students we don't know whether we might need to do this again for 2024 but now that we know more about the impact that I don't know students maybe we couldn't spend in enough support to prevent that from happening I cannot be saying absolutely. This is the last class graduating class that we would do this because we did have the freshman year of class 2024 was completely on distance learning wait and see sport Laredo I think I alluded to this earlier about you know if the relaxing hour if we don't relaxed it is there a lot for one thing I know that you're saying that I'd code is supporting it but if you can explain to me and I have more questions so this is just part watch explain to me are we under a legal obligation to relax to relax at we're at last year with a d u 104 we were we were so can you talk a little we have the flexibility of our own choosing would not mandated to do so this is not on us to do put in the last measure of support and developer options if we do not lie we decided not to go to this point based on the number that I received from the high school is that we looking at possibly 88 students. Making graduation 88 before 5 for my Academy in 25 from the high school I'm done reading it wrong it's about 25 + 5 30 students and so we're looking at the flexibility to allow pretty students the chance to graduate from from high school with a diploma piggybacking on that is you know does when we're graduating students before their meeting our own standards and it doesn't even have to do with the E through G standards to which we remember Isadora was talking about earlier about we want to see whether or not there if you don't call it for your college ready or or what but you know it's more like what are we doing like for them if we are pushing them to graduate versus is student retention or A Five-Year Plan you know what are the outcomes that our students are getting when we are kind of pushing them out are they not even ready for a 2-year College what what are the choices and you know end in other states and they're taking them more prepared for a 4-year or even. whatever their next step is so I don't want I am not a believer that you know the lasting the guidelines it's always the best thing for every student and the two we need give that that for some of my questions are more so how far they are from meeting to meeting these requirements or is it also something else that we were would that we failed it helping them along the way like what where where are we seeing a pattern if it's any and that's really where I need to under and like where we follow following short and we're at what point did we figure this out was it just now because now what they're looking at graduation or was this already identified last year and where did we not will when will we not able to provide summer school credits and all of that and so I would like to hear more about that and I don't know if you're prepared to answer some of those things I could breathe interesting. Our conversation without sight of our high school leadership the students returned to full in person in August 2021 so that's a year-and-a-half ago and the school but in Multan support structure is to help the students to be able to graduate without any modification at all hours of service hours down to 20 because the lack of opportunity to live in a time when everything was shutting down as we moving through that here it is evidence that the impact on the pandemic was more severe for some than others so angry do none of those students like I said I'm beginning 88 was falling behind but then  catching up with this to about 25 that would not be able to catch up with out this last flexibility that we put in place so it is to the board decision tonight is that if we would to send them on to a 50-year into an adult school program that is that is what we say sing or we giving them this and allow them to find a diploma and move on from it is a choice because we did try to to support from 88 down to 25 but we would like to acknowledge that we don't know that the death of the impact of append emic and maybe this is something that morally we should so for one thing point of order it is now 10:35 I'm sorry that I'm 5 minutes late and letting you know president on Missoula is so when I read I know that you read the percentages but if this is if this is unduplicated if that means that well abused 25 nearly are Hispanic of them are African-American that's 20 out of the Spotify that is when we're talking about you know pointing out who the pandemic or really we need to we need to stay it's not just in percentage but 20 out of by far is that act or African-American so I need to know I really need to know whether or not like pushing them onward graduating them is is is right or not I do not know and whether or not like we had even have examples of them to you know like what are I'll come there too I don't know I just shared some anecdotal information so last year upon the students who were not graduating we were we were we called each student and offered 5-year Adult School an option so students could graduate I didn't have one take her so because the counselors and all in the team at the high school has developed this they know the needs of the students and they want to set them off by the ability to do they have each individual student's story and their heart and this is this is where this is coming from to give them the best outcome in the best opportunity that we can so just because it's just those anecdotal pieces that and we've been collecting as we ask the questions that you got and how many was was that did you did you say that you might not have said on my list to call were 8 today last year I'm not specifically at what point in the year were they given options was it like January 4th of June graduation the original timing of this particular resolution was actually in early early November we were hoping to bring this toward the due to a write a reason we couldn't but at that point we realizing that with a site leaders share information with me as early as early November we already know that the handful out soon he ate some of our students will be struggling without any modification to the graduation requirements and so their will as we moving forward still Saturday the support that nothing but a baby some students slowly peeling off and it is now evident that if I will be at risk of not receiving a diploma now I could certainly went out example too soon to move on without the diploma and achieving a diploma down the line through a LaRosa's opportunities but I'm willing to bet my with a diploma it's an easy way to transition into a college program without one the distractions of any the distraction of not having a diploma to your sense of who you are finishing High School everyone else is up and down and you not and then that is not necessary and I'll stop here before you guys know exactly what I'm talking about just just to go back to a cuz I did have a question there before about like whether we see any patterns and like how short they are do we know do we know if it's just the service or if it's all there's only 25 so I would think that someone would know like what the severity is because changing from 20 to 130 credits like obviously like that's a vast difference we're not that's not the floor that were looking at right now because they're in their last semester I'm assuming that maybe they might have 200 credit like I don't like it I guess I wish I had seen that information was presented to us as well I have to confess I don't have that information but I can provide a to the board. sorry I can't and I want to know where we want to go which is we have six more agenda items one more very important agenda item that we've been bringing back which is the inter-district we want it pushed through we have one yes Jen doesn't yes Laredo can we cherry-pick well usually what the heck what is the following the business can be cherry-picked that needed to be approved today and I guess what we could do is our board The Nest can be minimized not discuss whats 17.1 + 17.2 + 17.3 or 3. We can bench for the future so we have a tattoo that says push through either case that we table 14-1 about interdistrict permits for the next week I'm only because this is my first chance to have him put on it and looking through it there's some Ed code that I posed with in it as it stands and references to some bits of Edco that don't exist anymore and some of the question that I think marrying a longer discussion that I necessarily think we should be having at 11 so I'm fine with pushing through but I like to not do 14 1 tonight I like to ask Miss Montana and doctors in here I'd like to hear if there is an urgency to get this passed or d i you brought it before us because I don't want any progress or any work that needs this and so I just want to know so so thank you Bob mazzola we're going to push for approval subject to some editing and revising that we've actually already done we aligned it with a button feedback on the AC review similar districts I would be okay but I feel very bad that my colleagues have been here for the sole purpose of supporting this so I'd like to I'd like to ask how I would like to know how they feel that's okay Miss Montez and miss indelicato and we got Junior information night January 25th for the district so we will be presenting on one of the presentation for interdistrict permits I always do. I don't want to meet his dad maybe just kind of start the entire site of all if we don't make that change before we ordered a new school year we tell people that that a rule change in the middle just right so that would be so then we're saying we're actually looking at implementing the policy not for the 22 23 24 right in so we wouldn't want to delay it we we definitely all the ad code stuff mr. Guerrero we actually added the instead of abbreviating some of the things in the parentheses in clean all of that with all the appropriate and code so what's a public dr. Smith right now is that we could make an all those edits that you guys requested if not I just want to share with you that the reality is that if we don't approve now we can go to those meetings on the 5th we start presenting and we can count presents new policy that doesn't actually exist we have to follow the policies that are currently in place so however you want to go for it we just want you to know that kind of where that timeframe is she brought it forth in November so that we we have enough time and I completely understand as a new board you want to you know I'm Puttin understand everything this is just where we are with the timeline because the all of the new procedures go in place enrollment starts and the presentations in January we are happy to do whatever you guys want us to do but that not the sense of urgency so what I hear is on January 25th the kindergarten classes will start which start with questions about how can I apply for my child's come here on a inter-district the really the the first time you will need this policy to be approved would be in January 25th right cuz we have our board meeting on the 25th at the next board meeting I am okay if we if we want to do a meeting next week on a Tuesday to discuss this thoroughly to to get info from board our new board members if what is something that will be okay with you all and then would it be if we had that discussion would we be able to vote would you guys be able to vote on the 24th we would vote next week next Tuesday we would vote on that Tuesday we would make any edits I mean in 2 weeks and I honestly want the high school graduation information with that Tuesday meeting because I feel that there's information that we don't have and I'd like for us to go through and think about what information we want and then we'll have both of these items in a special meeting next Tuesday and it could just be two items hopefully an hour and Mac are you sure he's being have been like during the day or in the evening cuz I think we're coming back from holiday I'm very overwhelmed about the prospect of tabling the item that we are two-thirds of the way through if we I'd really like to finish this item and have no conversation about the rest of the board meeting after that okay all right so if we can have a third ward member tell me if we should push through we can push through and we will discuss if we will start the discussion on the inter-district and if we see that we cannot come to an agreement then we'll go and go special meeting for next week I think that your cat was trying to say what's finished item that were on and we can still consider you having special meeting next week for that item and whatever else like continue that's exactly what she's saying and what I'm saying is can I get a third vote cuz I have to stain pushed through so meaning at this point to push through the current agenda item agenda item is I will be High School graduation thank you okay so then finished with high school graduation requirement what did we do right with the 50 students that were removed from the original 80s we Wheeler High School in the team put the support plans in place and we created Credit Recovery opportunities and end in different pieces of the kiddos on the list here for the 30 that need alternative are more credits efficient than those other than the students were able to mitigate that okay if we already know that 2024 graduating class is at risk what are we doing today number 20 what we have all spring and summer a lot of time but I know basically like cuz I have credit recovery which you know which everyone is calling a celebrated learning so that students can recapture credits and that's the conversation we're going to continue to have and share information with the Board of Education about it's just it's just Beast these Thirty children are what keeps me up at night so here's what I want it cost $8,768 to go to Santa Monica College for one year I want to pass this item and I want us to pay those 30 students $260,000 to go to two years of Community College that's what I want us to do I want to pay them two years of Community College I want I want to ask not to come back I think that we failed them and that we owe them the two years of Community College that they need to go on again next week so I will I will be voting in shape for this item can I look at this as flexibility that the state has granted us given covid cool that they're making available to us it doesn't mean we have to applied to all students on just those who in our case it's cool that we would be potentially passing on to our high school, Dave made a determination they looked at 88 years and decided that for most of those kids just wasn't appropriate but as far as a subset of them it was so I think it's totally appropriate to do and if we're not doing it were effectively with holding the ball most of these 25 kids because we want them to go to a if your school that seems appropriate accordingly High School staff for the majority of them and they're figuring out ways to do that for this 25 it doesn't seem appropriate and as mist and pointed out trying to go on we don't know that these 25 students will stay in school we don't know that these twenty-five students are interested in a 50-year you know and so what we're doing is withholding diplomas from them because we want and a follow-up particular path we're making please pass available to we're supporting them and whichever path But ultimately denying a group of students diplomas that are state recognized and state approved to the requirements does them more disservice than anything else because when you don't have that diploma your choices are very limited and so it's a tool that I think we should make a able to our high school to use and make available to the students going to we can talk about some type of post-graduation support that we can continue offering students but yeah I think it's fine anybody else clarification so my understanding is California offers to breed years of Community College so are you staying on top of that maybe I want us to talk about it I don't want us to wash your hands so you know whatever whatever conversation this board is going and I want to have it I think we owe them more than just reducing the expectations and so you know me do an interview with least 30 students I believe it's 30 students right total can we do an interview with the 30 students and see what is it that they are planning to do with this graduation diploma we did last year we created this virus created these plans for kiddos in the counselor's the assistant principals and provided explained all of the options happened and made sure that we were at we were there as the safety that I am just to be blunt it's our fault we managed to meet the needs of 65 66 out of 88 but we can't please the bulk of those credit that is missing by these 25 I said their choice I'm not comfortable saying that because we don't know to what degree that pandemic hitting the students were asked Americans who are Latino who are living in poverty I don't know to what degree we can say you should have kissed boys have up by your bootstraps support does but this year but this year I'm arguing that instead of justice for Mercy give him a chance don't have any way of saying You must make something with the diploma week ranching you otherwise you won't get it I'm just saying at this point the school have done all they could have done maybe they could have done more for their we are 25 not having a diploma it's a joke, it's your you're out of this point I would make this statement in every which way we can so that the class of 2024 will not come back with yet another group not making the grade we going to build that in and the awareness and the grace the boys spending as soon as I'm hoping the grace that the Borg Mendes tonight translate that into the commitment of 2024 graduation class will not be facing the same smuggled that we looking at right now search for me a year with dr. chant is staying and what would I would support is an interview with each of these students who will go into this lower graduation ice what is their career path because maybe they want to go to a coding bootcamp oh no you didn't say there was a few doing well right did you say there were some that were I'm sorry I didn't write it down and so I'm not going to make it up so I would like to ask one of their path and then please bring them to the board to discuss how we can support that passed and they're kind of in their own panic the weather's going to be there waiting on this meeting because I was being a little nervous and are looking forward to any decision tonight we are ready to do a boat and what I'm asking is that we need to follow up and the follow-up needs to come to us and we with the 25 career plans and how we plan to support those career plan and would that be satisfactory and I appreciate the clarification that you brought to my original suggestion yes I do want to hear more about what we can do to support them so comfortable approving it in the context of that I'm commitment and it sounds like we have some precedent because we know what the last year's class that were given 130 are doing I would love to hear what we know already about how they're faring. Be a great day. Let's talk about right away did we correct you have a motion okay emotional second so now we have the 25 participants on Zoom if anybody would like to raise their hand and provide public comment on this item this will be the time to do it board members any other comments well, all those in favor say aye 14.1 14.1 we have three were agenda items I would like to start by asking staff I understand that we have a holiday Monday and that might make it hard to plan for a Tuesday meeting and we also have an El Cap meeting on Tuesday so board members what is Stuart eggs on this business service items cannot be delayed and I feel really strongly about this item moving forward cuz I am terrified that it'll be delayed so much that we can't move on it for the next year meaning for the these presentations in January and February and that it won't be in place for implementation for the next academic year you know our our current version of the policy is extremely harmful I'm certain that it actors into some of the data that we looked at it today so I feel really strongly that we make this change as soon as possible I'd feel more comfortable my preference is supposed to run everything but I do know I would definitely feel more comfortable if we can put off the 17 to another meeting in July I feel strongly that people just do everything I mean I don't think that we have to do business services and if we do this I don't know that will take us that long to talk about so just to clarify we're keeping everything the same you'll do you want to push through the only cherry-picking B-17 and the third person that suggests that that's the only thing we can not do like to move forward with push through and or reduced or missing options are three options on the table on 17 I think another president I can still do it right. so I'm going to push through with option to which I'm going to drop 17.1 and then do 17.2 is that something probably just any clear everything else is intact 18.1 jobs might want to get us moving or not motion on 14.1 bromstad show me the the feedback the input that has been requested most of it has been handled already we will complete bad and an update the board may be able to make sure we leave Incorporated the feedback we edited me the feedback we see we've compared with surrounding districts I got an e-mail today when one of the primary contributors to the to the BP you know wondering because it was some other concern dress that ended and in that Community member was okay with pushing through so if we could and just get the updated it to the board ASAP I would appreciate that will we should state changes are not reflected in the document and what changes are reflected in the document so I think I heard you talking about a lot of changes cuz this is the third reading so a lot are reflected their I'm aware of a couple we minor edits that we could probably approve the document was tonight I know one concern is of a significant nature because it's possible that the document contradicts itself I'm so sorry but I think we should just talk about the details okay so I did speak out of turn but actually we should first comments on this item journeyman position by Wyndham document you have that we're going to get emailed to us right now no time to review I don't think that's good we practice oh I'm not sure that's what we're doing so I'm looking at the last document that you must have gotten which was the one at the last meeting and that document the questions that came about revocation there were three items for revocation two items that are listed there and I'm Ricky Ray are on the AR sorry but it's only the AR that we saw any changes on I'm sorry just clarify that this is from the last reading correct and not from when this was posted on board docs last week yet it is here it is you have to refresh we are seeing right now and right now you're just talking about. is versus the last read it right there I strongly that like we need to think about whether or not we're weather let's not have perfect be the enemy of the good some of my a lot of my concerns are that we are not just in general that is if we've been if we've had stakeholders including the parents I have been working on this from from the get-go that there is transparency and that we are that were that were engaging with Newport continuing to engage with out because I think that there is a feeling that major stakeholders in the in since I'm going to guess the last you know iteration of this felt like. we're not able to access things are not able to give more input and sometimes there needs to be a little bit of clarity of like expectations with with that in terms of like what like how they would be moving forward and I do understand the doctor pants and and I'm concerned that if we continue on this path that we are that we are defaulting to status quo and that to me is is scarier so I just wanted to practice with that and if you if you would like to defend these changes that are because we weren't the three of us were not on the board before this if you would like to point out where the changes were from the last time I would really appreciate and what that is and not go all the way from the beginning is that so our first meeting and this is me trying to go backwards ride our first meeting we explained what all of those differences that were head code the new gamet said you need to make sure this is listed on your policy we tried to match the things that we were doing in practice to match policy I don't know that there were changes substantial changes to the what was posted so there there's not really changes what where what I'm referring to is that in the scum of the questions that we got recently about what about that I was referring to mr. Guerrero about Ed coats so wherever we refer to the encode we expanded and made sure we double-check all of those numbers but there's not we didn't add a bunch of stuff between the last meeting and this so is that why are you saying that the document attached contains a couple typos in Edco currently or did last time we saw it and I'm sorry I'm looking for the page cheer and give an example perhaps it would be more clear what we did the previous policy together and have some unusual ways so what we would like to do it I think will also address Mister gueros concern is where it said like 48900 a through G changed and now says 48 and 180 1 or says 4900 a 248-900-8248 900 348-900-2448 900 points. So it was easier to I need an if someone were to read it that it does not dig into every day which I do believe is most individuals that are looking at getting a permit then they would be able to easily take that number Google it and the answer by not search so that is that is I think the clean up that you were asking for we also went back and wrote it in the way that we would meet up at 7:48. parentheses parentheses add code written and so we we we agree and we would like to go and have that written out that way which I also think it's easier again so what you're seeing here is what we were thinking is we were going to answer any of the other question because we think we've done it before and or any other questions whatever additional input you're asking for that's it can we can we prove it with that change amended but it is the one you're looking at the last one that we really had all the input from the different people and soon example you it we looked at all of that stuff when we when we initially did it when we did the second reading in the example you just gave we would be a witch this is not the discussion is not complete but just for the example you just gave we could approve this as a mended and the I would say I'm using the proper is nomenclature of the word for encode and that would be one example are you finished with your question yes or no okay so one of those comments from soccer ball. who was one of the primary drafters of the edits to the document was regarding potential conflicts and I don't know if you two have seen it and looked at it and if you can resolve whether it occurred or whether it is Indy Indy true and that the conflict would be between Pages 2 and 10 and that on page two there is a section that talks about academics these are both about academic standing on page to the paragraph starts with the district will ensure that such students are admitted through an unbiased process I'm relying on her email so it is the second paragraph on page 2 I think it's in the middle of the paragraph he's right about academic standing and that I think is both what Ed code would dictate as well as with the AC was asking for in terms of changes its inquiry into evaluation or consideration exactly but then on page 10 and it starts with a e 7910 with approval and denial of interdistrict under that is number 5 yes that will be number 4 when it the numbers get readjusted there it says it academic standing does influence and is a possible reason for for denial I can go ahead I'm going to speak to my interpretation of how I read it when I think about a bias so we do have the requirement to hear about the requirement there is no bias between the two points 6 and the 3.8 freeway it doesn't come into for the 2.6 it's not the requirement and therefore proceed with our lotteries my interpretation when I read it is open to everyone else reading it's reading it differently but that would be my response to dressing why but I think the fact that ghosts and interpretation is problematic because it should be there out of face if it's our administrative regulation we have two students are victims of bullying and students who are the child of active military parent or Guardian gives it's a subset of a place but which one does the one about I see it's kind of like on how students nothing that doesn't apply to everybody thank you do we have a question regarding on page 3 the statement of valid interest with respect to specialized programs where is this in the past if I was one of the first in the area to have a dual-language program or Spanish now a lot of the are neighboring school so school districts art giving those dual-language program permit any more specialized specialized program nobody has it so that is some kind of an automatic so that's what talk about what they mean when they talk about valid interest it doesn't exist in your area so for Culver City the most likely example of a valid interest is going to Japanese immersion absolutely a student to apply for a permit for Spanish language that it has as what we all need to put in right now there's some language that is washable and there's some language that must be in and that's the language that must be and I think we talked about it one time I don't know why but yeah but the reason you used to is as an example it's because some districts will not release students if they have an equivalent program and then the other question is our moods or minor and I will leave it all right so my new with the end code around denying a permit location and revoking a permit application of a parallel each other somewhat looking at the bottom of page 9 I'm always about him superintendent or designee and a reading that the new language me may deny a for the following reasons he is a very important word to me in that and then I looked down to number 3 at the bottom of the paragraph and this is her basically Behavior list that's a result of a violation of Ed code 48900 it originally read a through it would be a through e and are so a number of letters are removed and basically in a Dakota 48900 is a list of a bunch of reasons why students can be suspended and still by narrowing it from a through t and are some of the things that we are eliminating from consideration under an application for a permit to The District in the current language but we are absolute and we cannot fact that he's into her decision to accept a student are causing or attempting to cause damage to school property we cannot consider that anymore if they've done School vandalism or attempted to steal school property or private property we cannot consider that an in accepting an application to use tobacco I'm not too worried about that committed an obscene actor who did Shilpa vanity of vulgarity that's really a relative I'm not too worried about that unlawfully possessed are unlawfully offered a range of negotiated spell drug paraphernalia we're not allowed to consider that anymore K is a horrible one that's the whole willful Defiance one which is terrible anyway I knowingly receive stolen property or private property can be considered that anymore possessed an imitation firearm whatever committed or attempted to commit sexual assault we can't consider that any more harassed threatened or intimidated the people who is complaining complaining witness we can't do that anymore I offered a rainstick negotiated sell or sold prescription drugs Selma Moore engaged in Our intention to engage in hazing or even the people who played the bets as to find section 31 of the penal code the infliction or attempted infliction of physical injury to another person may be subjected this has been so we can sit at a bar eliminated all of those things from our ability to consider an application when we take it down wait 30 days r-and-r I'm questioning the logic in the intention behind removing those as options we can't even met though anymore we just can is it okay to share conversations from easy to set up stations that come to mind really bad around and going to the decisions wanting to be more inclusive for families and giving more students opportunities and sub that was some of the intent on an Idaho. It's also has letters on the one letter I will speak to in the committing or attempting to commit sexual assault or battery does get covered in the 48 915c or so. a stationary and then four conditions where a student permit and could be revoked instead of that same list except for in the edited version is 11 page 11 number three piston has been expelled or suspended as a result of any of the following violations 48900 only one left is a which means we are now saying that we couldn't revokes a student permit if they then removed so we can could not revoke a permit for someone who has caused attempted to cause or threatened to cause physical injury to another person someone who possessed sold or otherwise furnished a firearm night or you unlawfully pull up possessed used or sold otherwise furnished or been under the influence of a controlled substance unlawfully arranged are negotiated to sell considered controlled substance or committed or attempted to commit robbery or extortion most of those are are under the 48 915 the most egregious of those actions that cause that bodily cause harm they will be covered under the 48 915 so it is still causing serious physical injury to another person it still includes possession of a knife or other dangerous off just it's still an unlawful possession of a controlled substance of which Soma would be included still includes robbery and extortion and still includes assault and battery upon any school in the boy possessing Sally and otherwise burnishing a firearm brandishing a knife at another person unlock we selling a controlled stuff in the meeting and traveling to work attempting to commit a sexual assault or committing sexual battery and possession of explosives so what we're saying is that we actually want to have the right to revoke or those things and so if a student is suspended and for us to spend it under 48 +915-848-900-8080 to which was willfully use force or violence upon the person of another except in self-defense those would all be reasons to revoke a permanent is that most of those things that were ruined from 48900 still exist in 48 915a 1 through 5 dial 848-9154 okay thank you a 180 room for the for the late people will were saying is that these students are not exempt from suspension and expulsion at. That's not what we're doing what we're saying is we used to have a practice a group of students that were essentially being expelled without being noticed by the state because it was a permit revoked Nation as opposed to an expulsion and now we have a system where there are student there are students are student put a code Stella parks and so I'll just actually our students to reside within CCSD boundaries sometimes made bad decisions and their consequences and they come back and finish it and they're not. I'm friends with the horses and now our students at it since she has to be in room side outside of school and being their children but their courses there and graduate with a very wide definition of that I think just some of the ones doing down that list are fairly egregious particularly on the acceptance of a permit I think I am somewhat reassured by the fact I don't have 48915 open in front of me but those types of things are listed under 49th and Center stop other questions can I hear the magic the other issue that I've heard a lot about this question about increasing the number of students on and whether that discuss that or not and as I look into the capacity stuff on page 8 I see things like we're changing the ratios from accepting additional students on permit when at the ratios and tk33 it used to be 21 now will be accepting students until there's 22 to 1445 it used to be 12:33 where we continue to have space until 28th. we do all those numbers so they actually bumped quite a while ago and practice book there was a time and I had to spend the night I cannot tell you what year is it is it would take awhile for me to think about it but there was a time the political sentiment has to bring down the high school inside the teacher at some point during virus I remember that bring the middle school down in size and so my memory many years ago with that they lowered the capacity for our interdistrict permits over the years that I've shifted as the school's crew we were able to let you know our predecessors able to determine that we could go to 22 and still space for new residents moving into that rccsd boundaries we could go to the size of the high school sweetheart it's Hot Springs Middle School classrooms and so it looks like a big bump but the reality is that this number has been in place at least while I was in elementary principal so like from 2013 we've really been putting it on paper so that our practice not just policy and there is a change on 9:51 that one that dr. Kent brought up about academics it used to say meeting grade-level standards and it's being shifted to meeting at approaching or meeting grade levels. for the initial acceptance of somebody what is the thinking behind expanding that definition having been at the elementary school we know that for a first grader they are should be someone that turns 7 in September and someone that turns seven not until the following August and that can really really big developmental change so they may approaching but really are a good student they're doing well they're just here and months younger than some of their peers kids don't all learn at exactly the same rate and so that approaching are there still with them that big and where were they grade level okay well I'm approaching it mentioned about playing. data on students but ideally I think that would have been helpful to have before this conversation you know so we could I don't have no I get that but okay where is that Embrace and I did not see that girl again weed we looked at percentage of total permits by grade percentage number of total permits by school and percentage of government by support native students of War II beta that I think doctor and ask for the or she wants which one we gave me some basic demographic data okay perfect yeah and just like I said some of the questions about the teacher but I'm not about that this morning just wanted to make sure that the again some of those reasons to deny or reasons to revoke were somewhere in there totally yet the subjectivity of a lot of these hands these are awful reasons that you can finish off of course so for those who are online and would like to provide a public comment at this time please raise your hand and while we wait for those to provide a table, I will ask. to ask a question or like to request or something because the language around the requesting out of your home District if you move if you're continuing and then you have to get the provisional permit and that's what like sometimes you have to get a provisional permit while you move if you move in the middle of the year and you need a provisional permit while you get released from your home District your new home district and then you do the more permanent permit this is not meaningful to you okay I'll look at the language we don't issue a provisional really though just waiting for the permit process to go through with their new district and they always stay okay... different than what I thought this was saying it uses language around up provisional temporary it's page 5 number 7 so we had in there it just talked about it was students when a student family moves out of the district during the school year the student may be granted a provisional permitted to continue until the end of the alley. I'm here in the family would like to speak to continue beyond that Academic Year then they would apply for an interdistrict permits or example of Silver Spring break but they like their child signing for their child to go to the new District however they want them to finish the accident make sure we can do a provisional just finished at the next year because the families wanting to just start in the fall so they don't even need a release from the other district for that strange language said only Within 60 days of the end of the school year and we said leaving in the middle of an academic year we are going to let them finish out the Academic Year so that a day can have consistency with their education and then we'll help with ya I misunderstood I thought it was about deadlines for release from home District that was a two months window and I just wanted to be clear that the family were families were around that there was a timeline and I misunderstood so thank you know public comment so I'm closing public and thank you and this segment before I asked for a roach and that is I wish my children would have had this more Humane policy to be on my kids had Saturday school because of me and my kids were terrified they were investigated by the office of whether they living because we moved mid-year and so they were brought into the office and investigated and you no longer live in Culver City and it was really shameful. I hope that with you more Humane policy that we please speak to the office's dad managed the inter-district permit because we need to stop interrogating our students and making them tell us the truth of what's happening in their personal life science and compassion thank you I'm going to ask for a boat and I think your board members for passing this morning made thank you so much both of you for all of your hard work on this and dr.

I would be working with with one of our communication has consulted to just write a little short paragraph about our responsibilities as works best for you could almost write several of them in advance and just have them ready to go on the office weeks want to take advantage of us educating the Unity on our Ward business because it's the first thing that we cut short because it's the last thing that we discuss opportunities getting heads on something else I really like the board to have permission and authority to text or email pictures of themselves at site-specific very strict orders set like a site visit and if the if there's anything else that's very obviously very strictly I'm bored respect a business that they text or email and CC you just mailmen our Communications who does our social so that that can be posted on our cover social I would I think it's friends since there were personal post about Artie LP but there was no district code about us being invited and and us being able to make it for this visit with this LPS I'm his campus there other same thing with the visits that you all did for the ceiling tiles I would love for us to have permission from the body and superintendent to to text with you CC in Jeff Melman to have those things tweeted out and social doubt I am may I be permitted fully okay with that board president and the board visibility within the community who got the school setting at all okay I would like us to build appetite for that and to build Comfort amongst us all with our own Savvy around it and of course the last word is with you and Jeff if you think something's not appropriate I can imagine that it would be. But for whatever reason it doesn't fit it and you know it's a no I mean do you all feel comfortable channel of the district that is considered being on my Instagram only in that will live on my Instagram and the district Instagram let me just say that I've asked superintendent to that we should conduct attack audit and a social media audit moving forward because as a marketing professional and from the csb a session that I went to I'm concerned about I am concerned about all of the districtwide social media accounts that we do or do not have control of and so if we can disclose part parcel with us if we can really make sure that we are pushing out to our official accounts and heads claimers on the accounts that are not the official accounts and you know someone is so far as that we would also be less likely to be a target for legal action and on also like I'll make sure that our school climate is safer and better for her all over stakeholders so I just put it out there that that's something that I've asked for that really is on future agenda items 17.3 and social media what those other sites are so I think that that's something that we that we should definitely have a review up so we've never moved on to 17.35 months we're on if we are still come but with this first suggestion around a lot as well and I don't I don't know that habitat as well because I don't know that they should like counselor showing that you all are also out there too and I think that it should sometimes at Services I see like an occasional but there ain't no facilities tweets for sure and I could go on so you know what we're going to begin by modeling we're going to model and it would be wonderful if we could build some appetite among the cabinet to start doing some remodeling we also have best practices and why like I that's why I think it all goes part and parcel with with all of this as well so there's some things that you know we feel more comfortable with and some things. Like maybe we should be like like how how we're doing that so and maybe that has maybe we need are just two kinds of things that we see what you want us to say give me so we're going to agenda is now so are we closing 17.2 okay so we're closing that we have Week 1 and week 2 movie what is 17.3 now I really would like for us to we have a long list from last meeting we need to build a board calendar so that we be thinking about these meetings and so what I would like to make the  as president and get my fellow colleagues to support me on this is that I would real appreciate if we could start thinking about board meetings a month in advance because we need kind digestive information as well as you need time to create information and so if we can be planning two meetings ahead then by the time the next meeting comes presentations are already done their completed it is just as coming together I would I stumbled in the cabin until we can get there right what are the systems that you need from us so that we can be building those meetings a month in advance and is have draft meetings already in place so that we can start as a Shadow King presentations and agenda items to that in advance that's an example of a cabinet I really need your support because this week was my first time meeting to discuss this agenda and there was a genda items that were not posted by the time we met and then you items were posted and then I'm like well I don't know about that because I when I created this agenda with the superintendent that was not there yet so I want to say move what word is Thursday is the day we're meeting to create the agenda but we really should be thinking a month in advance so we're going to need your help because you are inside end of the creative mode can I get a certification of cuz in the beginning of your statement you are asking for ugly governance calendar correct and it is that the only thing that guiding us with that with trying to get on this track calendar I'm hoping we discussed during our Retreat like I actually need to put it in and we'll have a list of topics we need to discuss and then we will be together as a group of five we will put it together in the governance calendar in our Retreat that's one of the topics we should discuss is that answer your question yes because we can't assume that everything passes at the meeting and I know for example the whole thing about the interdistrict permits and I know it's got a couple of times and things like that but I do not like cheering will this has to pass tonight we don't have time to continue discussing I mean that says to me that we didn't calendar it very well because we should never have to have to make a decision because something's happening to you know and then absolutely okay will do as instructed I believe we have already exploring ability to begin planning to meetings ahead of time because we are trapped in last minute too many times to count and then by the way some of the topics such as the permit is actually fundamentally transformational for the way the district I had my notes a week start conversation in the month of May May and then now we are approaching January all of them so I would like I have asked for a governance for for how we working or when we are expected to to see a governess calendar and knowing that you're going to you know have to be nimble with the agenda items obviously like it's a month in advance like you know something may come up later on and it's understandable also. Just governance by the calendar committee calendar as well into the board organization is I don't know if all of those things are for our Retreat some of those things may be part and parcel it all along the way as well and and so what do you to let us know how that comes back to us or what's the most productive way some of those items are part of the process moving forward in Durham planning on voting ends on occupied account and so once we put them all in their discipline and we know how much flexibility each meeting can accommodate just one presentation for items so that would make our life little bit more predictable calendar versus stata Beach meetings are we home but will be able to my colleagues and just one agenda item if you can remember 417.3 so that we can end before 12 as its or all this talk about an end and communication, I really want to make sure that we are going to attend iced apple cider communication person would be the person not communicating with bikini on behalf of all of you we have a lot I think you need to be able to eat where they are on social media meet them wherever they may need a new site or whatever so I just want to make sure that that is going to come back and see us making sure Laredo agenda item I'm limited to one and I had already mentioned what I already which is not the one that I was going to do ask about tonight but I I feel like I have to stay with that one because it's piggybacking also on the pil the public information officer as well which is attacking social media audit I think that we are risking a lot in that in that area but the other one was I want us to look into a formal request for a biased reporting system because a lot of this has to do with student voice and with looking into CVS ask for such a thing and continuing to come to my attention that we have no way of that the students and their families have very little way of recording issues and so I would and whether or not the DIA issues that you are now tasked with looking into we don't have any data because there's no reporting system info so I I really I really feel like this is something that needs to be looked into because it's been asked for before from an Esa and I just don't know where that got you I stated mine earlier the pil public information officer I agree 100% about the public information officer same thing as last meeting if we hire another administrative position without having the conversation about class sizes I won't be able to support it no matter how important I think it is we have to start whether it's in identifying what are our class sizes right now what is Ark I'm capacity you know it's part of the expanding additional classes I think those two discussions have to go hand-in-hand in your class size so thank you so much I hear a motion for 18.12 adjourn motion for us going to bed at 11:59 say I I'm in this January how about that
