WE HAVE JAMES BENNER OF AA AN APOLOGIES IF I MISPRONOUNCED YOUR NAME. GINA KUMAR SIT DOWN. GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JAMES BETTER OFF AND I'M AN INCOMING SENIOR. I KNOW THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE STUDENT LITERACY RATE FOR YEARS. 9 01:43:21.800 --> 01:43:54.375 I'VE READ THE PROGRESS REPORT. I'VE BUILT SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO OFFER THE DISTRICT FOR FREE. IT'S A NEWS WEBSITE CALLED SMALL TALK AT SMALL TALK DOT NEWS TAKES REAL CURRENT EVENTS AND WROTE SOME AT THREE READING LEVELS AGES 5 TO 9, 10 TO 12 AND 13 AND UP THE SAME STORY WRITTEN SO A THIRD GRADER AND A SEVENTH GRADER CAN EACH UNDERSTAND IT. I BUILT A BECAUSE KIDS READ MORE WHEN THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE READING. BISON CHARGING A MAN IN YELLOWSTONE A ROCKET ABOUT TO CRASH INTO THE MOON. THAT'S WHAT GETS A NINE YEAR OLD TO FINISH AN ARTICLE. 10 01:43:54.375 --> 01:44:28.469 AND BECAUSE LEARNING HOW THE WORLD WORKS HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND WHY THINGS HAPPEN THE WAY THEY DO SHOULDN'T WAIT UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL. THE STUDENTS IN OUR CLASSROOMS RIGHT NOW ARE THE ONES WHO WILL BE VOTING ON THESE DECISIONS. THE WEBSITE IS COMPLETELY FREE NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO LICENSE AND NO ACCOUNTS. THE STUDENT JUST NEEDS A LINK AND NOTHING ELSE. I'M NOT ASKING FOR FUNDING OR CONTRACT. I'M JUST ASKING THE DISTRICT TO CONSIDER AS A FREE SUPPLEMENTAL READING RESOURCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> JOHN, ARE YOU STILL HERE? 11 01:44:36.349 --> 01:45:16.932 OKAY, THERE WE GO. OKAY. HI, MY NAME IS JOANNA KUMAR AND I'M A RISING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR. AND FOR THE PAST 14 MONTHS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON AN INDEPENDENT STUDY EXPLORING HOW CIVIC EDUCATION UPHOLDS DEMOCRACY. >> AND I'VE INTERVIEWED DOZENS OF STUDENTS ACROSS VARIOUS HIGH SCHOOLS AND FOUND THAT CIVIC DISCOURSE IS A UNIVERSAL STRUGGLE. NOW OUR CURRENT CALIFORNIA FRAMEWORK ESPECIALLY AND OUR PRINCIPLES OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY CLASS FOR SENIORS EXCELS AT TEACHING CIVIC KNOWLEDGE AND THE MECHANICS OF GOVERNMENT. >> BUT I THINK KNOWLEDGE ALONE 12 01:45:16.932 --> 01:45:48.626 ISN'T ENOUGH. AS STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF APPROACH A VOTING AGE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT THAT KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICE. >> AND SO I URGE THE BOARD TO THINK ABOUT WAYS THAT WE CAN REINVIGORATE CIVIC EDUCATION BY FOCUSING MORE ON CIVIC DISCOURSE. AND THAT CAN BE DONE IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS WHETHER BY INTEGRATING MORE DISCOURSE TEMPLATES INTO OUR EXISTING CLASS MODELS OR PROVIDING MORE FACULTY AND TEACHER TRAINING ON HOW TO FACILITATE DIALOG. BUT IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE CIVIC DISCOURSE REALLY IS THE HEART OF DEMOCRACY. 13 01:45:50.364 --> 01:46:38.813 YEAH. WOW. THANK YOU TO BOTH JAMES AND JENNA. WE WILL IF THERE ARE NO MORE STUDENTS WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEMS. AND I HAVE ONE THAT IS LAWRENCE LEE. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL PRESIDENT KIM COMMISSIONERS SUPERINTENDENTS TO STAFF. >> MY NAME IS LAWRENCE LEE. I'M IN SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ALUMNUS AND I'M ALSO THE AUDIT CHAIR OF THE CITIZEN'S BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. I WANT TO RAISE ATTENTION TO 14 01:46:38.813 --> 01:47:12.581 ITEM 14 WHICH IS THE WORDING FOR THE BOND ISSUANCE WHICH IS COMING UP SOON FOR $270 MILLION. THERE IS A SECTION THAT'S WRITTEN THAT I THINK NEEDS A STRONG CORRECTION. >> WE ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DO DO LOOK THROUGH THE AUDIT AND TALK TO THE AUDITORS. WHAT WE DON'T DO IS WE DON'T SET THE TERMS OF THE AUDIT. AND THIS IS THE WORDING THAT'S IN THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT THAT GOES TO THE BOND HOLDERS. AND THIS IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE ACCURATE. SO PLEASE PULL THIS ITEM AT 14 AND HAVE THE STAFF CORRECT IT 15 01:47:12.581 --> 01:47:53.218 BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COME THROUGH REALLY CLEAR WITH WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO AND THIS WILL HELP US ALL WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE MONEY COMES IN GOOD AND THE MONEY'S SPENT WELL. >> THANK YOU. ONE MINUTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL MOVE ON TO NON AGENDA ITEMS. I WILL CALL FIVE NAMES AT A TIME AND YOU CAN LINE UP BEHIND THE PODIUM AGAINST THE WALL. WE HAVE ROBERTO GUZMAN. SARA KIRSTEN, JOHN LISOWSKI, ANNA SCHWARTZ. 16 01:48:02.181 --> 01:48:35.678 IRENE. SORRY MISS CHANG. WE CAN FOR ALL THE GALILEO FOLKS WHO ARE HERE WE CAN CALL THEM ALL UP AT ONCE AND I JUST ASK THEM TO STATE THEIR NAME BEFORE THEY SPEAK. YEAH, SO THEY'LL JUST COME ALL AT ONCE IF THERE ARE NON GALILEO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IF THEY CAN JUST COME UP FOR SOMETHING GREAT. OKAY. SO WE HAVE ROBERTO GUZMAN, SARA AND KIRSTEN. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ROBERTO RIVERA AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN SOUTH ELEMENTARY TONIGHT. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE 17 01:48:36.820 --> 01:49:12.385 COMMISSIONER MATT ALEXANDER, JIMMY HOOLEY AND PARAGOULD FOR VOTING NO AND DALE CUP. >> WHETHER PEOPLE AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH BOTH, I BELIEVE HE DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY'LL HAVE THIS SOPHISTICATED POLICE SCRUTINY. NOW USE APPROVAL. DALE CAPICE THE DISTRICT COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS PARTICULARLY ENGLISH LEARNERS AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY FOSTER YOUTH AND LOW INCOME STUDENTS. IT SHOULD INCLUDE CLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY, MEASURABLE GOALS AND CONFIDENCE THAT THE PROMISE INVESTMENT WILL BE FULLY IMPLEMENTED AS APPARENTLY THERE. I APPRECIATE A ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE WILLING TO 18 01:49:12.385 --> 01:49:51.957 ASK DIFFICULT QUESTIONS AND HOLD A DISTRICT ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE APPROVING ONE OF ITS MOST IMPORTANT PLANS. A NO VOTE CAN BE AN INVITATION TO STRENGTHEN THE PLAN SO THAT IT BETTER REFLECT THE VOICES OF FAMILIES AND THE NEED OF OUR STUDENTS. I ENCOURAGE ALL COMMISSIONERS TO CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER AND IT SHOULD THEIR THERE IS NOT A DOCUMENT THAT MEETS A STATE REQUIREMENTS OR THANK YOU . >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SARAH AND I'M ALSO AN AT CPAC ALUM I REPRESENT A 19 01:49:51.957 --> 01:50:26.725 GROUP CALLED TECH IN CHECK. WE ARE A GROWING GROUP OF EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS, FAMILY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE ARE IN OVER 45 PUBLIC SCHOOLS AT THIS POINT. AND I'M GOING TO READ A FEW COMMENTS FROM SOME OF OUR MEMBERS. NUMBER ONE, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S FAIR THAT STUDENTS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM WHO CANNOT AFFORD AN ALTERNATIVE BECOME THE TECH INDUSTRIES MAGNET IZATION STRATEGY. I DON'T WANT TO SEE OTHER CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN S.F. WHO ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM SERVING AS 20 01:50:26.725 --> 01:51:08.373 EXPERIMENT EXPERIMENTATION FODDER AND REVENUE FOR TECH COMPANIES. >> THE TECH OBSESSION IN SCHOOLS ONLY HURTS CHILDREN ESPECIALLY THOSE WHOSE FAMILIES ARE LESS WELL POSITIONED TO UNDERSTAND AND FIGHT AGAINST THE CORPORATE INTERESTS. PUSHING TECH ON THEIR CHILDREN. THANK YOU. GOOD. HI I'M A PARENT ASKING AS OF USD TO ESTABLISH A SCREEN TIME POLICY ROOTED IN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY AND SCHOOLS CAN FOLLOW A SIMILAR MODEL AS DRIVING. 21 01:51:08.373 --> 01:51:42.206 WE DON'T GIVE A 15 YEAR OLD CAR KEYS AND SAY USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND DRIVE RESPONSIBLY . WE HAVE A LEARNER'S PERMIT REQUIRED PRACTICE RESTRICTIONS AND CLEAR RULES. FREEDOM INCREASES AS YOUNG PEOPLE DEVELOP SKILLS AND JUDGMENT. CLASSROOM TECH USE DESERVES THE SAME APPROACH. STUDENTS NEED SKILLS BEFORE SCREENS BECAUSE THEIR BRAINS ATTENTION, SOCIALIZATION AND SELF-REGULATION ARE STILL DEVELOPING. JUST AS DRIVING PRIVILEGES INCREASE FROM SUPERVISED LEARNING TO INDEPENDENT DRIVING, SO TOO SHOULD TECHNOLOGY IN SCHOOL. 22 01:51:42.206 --> 01:52:22.843 TELLING FAMILIES AND TEACHERS TO BE TECH BALANCED WITHOUT DEFINING LIMITS LEAVES EVERYONE GUESSING. TECHNOLOGY SHOULD SERVE LEARNING NEVER DRIVE IT. MANY CALIFORNIA DISTRICTS INCLUDING SAN MATEO ARE MOVING TOWARD INTENTIONAL TECHNOLOGY. >> I'M ASKING S.F. USD TO DO THE SAME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WILL THE GALILEO ACADEMY CONTINGENT GO AHEAD AND COME UP ? JOHN THE SOFT SKI GALILEO ACADEMY. 23 01:52:23.981 --> 01:52:55.213 ON MAY 4TH A STUDENT VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED TEACHER MATT MENDOZA AT GALILEO ACADEMY. SINCE THAT TIME MATT HAS BEEN PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF FROM THIS UNPROVOKED ATTACK. >> RECENTLY AS A FEW WAS DIAZ TOLD MATT THAT WILL BE PLACED ON ONE WEEK OF UNPAID LEAVE AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. AS A FEW AS STEVE'S MESSAGE TO STUDENTS CONSIDERING VIOLENCE AGAINST TEACHERS IS CLEAR IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF A MEMBER OF STAFF YOU DON'T LIKE ASSAULT THEM. WILL RESPOND BY TRANSFERRING THEM TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AND YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIENDS HOW YOU GOT RID OF A TEACHER AS A TEACHER AT GALILEO WHICH HAS A HISTORY OF UNSAFE WORKING 24 01:52:55.213 --> 01:53:27.774 CONDITIONS INCLUDING TWO GUNS ON CAMPUS LAST YEAR. THE PRECEDENT BEING SET WITH THIS TREATMENT OF MATT MAKES ME SCARED TO COME TO WORK IF A VIOLENT STUDENT DECIDES TO ASSAULT ME AS THE DISTRICT LEGAL DEPARTMENT GOING TO BLAME ME TO PUT IN ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AND THEN AN UNPAID SUSPENSION TO SEND ME TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. MATT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMITTED STUDENT CENTERED EDUCATORS AT GALILEO AND HIS LEADERSHIP OF THE ASP HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF EXTRAORDINARY IN EVERY MAJOR SCHOOL SPIRIT EVENT OF THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, MATT MENDOZA'S TIRELESS DEDICATION TO STUDENTS HAS BEEN AT THE CENTER. THANK YOU. BRING HIM BACK TO GALILEO. 25 01:53:32.583 --> 01:54:04.364 HI, MY NAME'S AMANDA DONAHUE . I HOPE YOU GOT MY EMAIL EARLIER. I'VE BEEN AN ALDI TEACHER AT GALILEO FOR TEN YEARS NOW. ON MAY 4TH MY COLLEAGUE MATTHEW MENDOZA WAS ASSAULTED BY A STUDENT ON OUR CAMPUS. HE WAS STRUCK THREE TIMES BEFORE TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF. THE INITIAL ATTACK WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO ON A STUDENT'S CELL PHONE. MATT NOW FACES A FIVE DAY SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY AND AN INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. ACCORDING TO OUR CONTRACT ITEM 21.5 THE ITEM 21.5 STATES THAT A TEACHER MAY USE REASONABLE 26 01:54:04.364 --> 01:54:34.927 FORCE TO PROTECT HIM OR HERSELF OR OTHERS FROM AN ATTACK OR INJURY. HOWEVER, THE DISTRICT IS CLAIMING THAT MACK BECAME THE AGGRESSOR WHEN HE TRIED TO DEFEND HIMSELF AFTER THE ASSAULT. I ASK YOU WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO WHEN A KID COMES TO US WITH A PUNCH AND ANOTHER PUNCH AND ANOTHER PUNCH? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST PLAY DEAD? THE INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER OF A TEACHER AFTER AN ASSAULT BY A STUDENT SENDS A MESSAGE THAT VIOLENCE AGAINST TEACHERS IS TOLERATED AND THAT WE AS TEACHERS ARE EXPENDABLE TO THE DISTRICT. I HAVE A PETITION OF 90 GALILEO 27 01:54:34.927 --> 01:55:10.960 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. >> HELPING TO HELP US RIGHT THIS WRONG. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MENOTTI DUBAY. I'VE BEEN A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER WITH S.F. USD FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS AND WE HAVE ALL CHOSEN TO MAKE SACRIFICES TO EDUCATE UNDERSERVED YOUTH. TIME WITH FAMILY. OUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. WE'VE TOLERATED PINK SLIPS, SALARY FREEZES AND SNAFUS. A DILAPIDATED AND UNSAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS NONFUNCTIONAL ELEVATORS. AND NOW WE ARE ASKED TO 28 01:55:10.960 --> 01:55:47.460 SACRIFICE OUR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SAFETY AT A SCHOOL WHERE DYSFUNCTIONAL SECURITY CAMERAS IS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS. REMOVING GALILEO TEACHER MATTHEW MENDOZA, A HIGHLY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE WHO SOUGHT TO PROTECT HIS OWN BODY FROM A PHYSICAL ATTACK BY A STUDENT SENDS A CLEAR AND DANGEROUS MESSAGE TO STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING A TEACHER WITHOUT SUFFERING ANY CONSEQUENCES. >> MY NAME IS ANA. SEAN IS AND I TEACH THE BIOTECH PATHWAY AT GALILEO. I'VE BEEN TEACHING SINCE 2002. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE 29 01:55:48.934 --> 01:56:20.428 THIS HAPPEN AT A SCHOOL THAT I WORKED ON. AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. I TOO WANT YOU TO REINSTATE MATT MENDOZA AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO RECEIVE PETITIONS AND ALL SORTS OF DOCUMENTATION AS TO EXACTLY WHERE ALL THE THINGS WENT WRONG. BUT IT'S PART OF A LARGER PATTERN. FOR A LONG TIME THERE HAS BEEN NEGLECT OF OUR SAFETY. FOR A LONG TIME THERE HAS BEEN A WILLFUL DISREGARD OF OUR COMMENTS TO THE DISTRICT AND TEACHERS KNOW. 30 01:56:20.699 --> 01:56:55.538 I THINK EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS THAT THERE'S BEEN ALL SORTS OF SHENANIGANS GOING ON THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR PRINCIPAL WAS REMOVED RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK AND WE WERE NEVER TOLD WHY SHE WAS JUST GONE AND WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR FULL SECURITY COMPLEMENT. AND YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD OUR SECURITY CAMERAS DON'T WORK. SO THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN ISOLATION. IT'S IT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T SECURE A SCHOOL. HI. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF HERE. MY NAME IS JACQUELINE PETERS. 31 01:56:55.538 --> 01:57:28.370 I ALSO TEACH WITH MATT MENDOZA. I HAD WRITTEN A LETTER. SO I'M JUST GOING TO READ YOU PART OF IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO TO SEND IT TO BUT EXPECTED IN YOUR EMAIL BOXES SOON. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'VE WORKED WITH MR. MENDOZA FOR EIGHT YEARS AND I'VE NOTICED WHAT AN UPSTANDING PERSON AND TEACHER HE IS. I AM FLABBERGASTED THAT ANYONE WOULD QUESTION HIS INTEGRITY. HE'S WORKED HARD AT MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF AS A TEACHER OF REPUTE COACHING AND TEACHING STUDENTS IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS 32 01:57:28.370 --> 01:58:00.930 HIM TO BE ENGAGED AND LEARN. >> HE HAS SPOKEN UP FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY INCLUDING HIMSELF. AT ONE POINT HE DOES NOT IGNORE TEACHABLE MOMENTS TO ESCAPE. HE USES HIS POSITION WITH HONOR AND ALACRITY. >> FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. ACTUALLY I KNOW OF ANOTHER COLLEAGUE THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH AND HE WAS REINSTATED TO 33 01:58:02.604 --> 01:58:40.242 FINDING THAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE WAS TOTALLY AGAINST POLICY. >> BRING MATT BACK. HI, MY NAME IS TIMOTHY, ONE OF THE SPECIAL ED TEACHER AT GALLIA HIGH SCHOOL AND I'M HERE TO SUPPORT BRINGING BACK MATT MENDOZA. HE'S A PE TEACHER. HE'S A SPORTS COACH. A CLUB COACH. HE'S A ACB DIRECTOR. HE DOES A GREAT WORK AT GALILEO . HE'S A VITAL MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY STAND UP GUY. IT'S VERY CONFUSING WHY HE'S BEING TREATED THIS WAY FOR ALL FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR THIS SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE STUDENTS. 34 01:58:40.242 --> 01:59:14.410 WE'RE ASKING THAT HE BE REINSTATED AND PLACED BACK TO GALLIA IMMEDIATELY. HI, MY NAME IS MARY LOU SYSTEMS. I'M A MATH TEACHER AT GALILEO. I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU TO REINSTATE MATT MENDOZA IN HIS POSITION AT GALILEO. MATT IS AN ESTEEMED MEMBER OF OUR FACULTY WHO HAS SHOWN DEDICATION TO OUR STUDENTS AS A TEACHER ASP ADVISOR AND COACH. BUT THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT MR. MENDOZA. MATT WAS VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED BY A STUDENT BY TRANSFERRING HIM. YOU SEND THE MESSAGE TO 35 01:59:14.410 --> 01:59:44.586 TEACHERS THAT OUR WORKPLACE SAFETY DOESN'T MATTER. YOU SHOW US THAT WE ARE DISPOSABLE TRANSFERRING TEACHERS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF ASSAULT PENALIZES THE TEACHERS WHO DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO TEACHING OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS SUCH AS THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND THOSE WITH A HISTORY OF TRAUMA. >> THESE ARE PRECISELY THE STUDENTS WHO NEED THE MOST CONSISTENT AND EXPERIENCED EDUCATORS BOARD. I URGE YOU FOR ONCE TO TAKE THE SIDE OF TEACHERS. TRUST OUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE IN HANDLING THE NUANCED CHALLENGES OF OUR JOB. 36 01:59:44.586 --> 02:00:22.290 DO THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE BRING THAT BACK. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ERIC SHATZKIN. I'M THE LIBRARIAN AT GALILEO. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT MATT MENDOZA AND REINSTATING HIM AS A LIBRARIAN. I INTERACT WITH A LARGE CROSSCUT OF STUDENTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SCHOOL FROM HIS SOCCER TEAM TO STUDENTS IN SB. GALILEO HAS A ROBUST AND VIBRANT CULTURE OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND ENGAGEMENT AND MATT HAS WOVEN HIMSELF INTO THE FABRIC THAT MAKES THAT HAPPEN. 37 02:00:22.290 --> 02:00:55.323 HE'S A MAN OF HIGH CHARACTER AND HE WORKS WITH STUDENTS TO EMPOWER THEM TO APPROACH THE WORLD WITH RESPECT, COMPASSION AND DIGNITY. >> AND IT IS A GRAVE INJUSTICE THAT MATT IS NOT BEING TREATED THE SAME WAY BY THE DISTRICT. GALILEO IS BETTER WITH MATT MENDOZA. HE WANTS TO COME BACK. PLEASE REINSTATE HIM. HE'S JUST ONE OF THE ASL INTERPRETERS WHO NEED A FUNCTION TO BE ABLE TO SPOTLIGHT OURSELVES AND THE OTHER INTERPRET WITH INTERPRETING IS NOT ON THE 38 02:00:55.323 --> 02:01:33.294 SCREEN AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SWITCH OURSELVES. PLEASE. THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS CLAUDIO LIFSON. I'M A SPECIAL EDUCATOR AT GALILEO HIGH SCHOOL. AT THE END OF LAST SCHOOL YEAR MY COLLEAGUE MATTHEW MENDOZA WAS ASSAULTED BY A STUDENT. I CAN SPEAK FIRSTHAND THAT MR. MENDOZA HAS ALWAYS KIND OF GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION POPULATION. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE DISTRICT MUST CAREFULLY CONSIDER DIFFICULT SITUATIONS, I HOPE MR. MENDOZA'S YEARS OF DEDICATION, PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS ARE GIVEN EQUAL CONSIDERATION. 39 02:01:33.294 --> 02:02:10.131 LOSING HIM WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS LOSS FOR GALILEO. WE ARE ASKING THE BOARD TO REINSTATE MATT MENDOZA TO HIS POSITION AT GALILEO AND TO ENSURE THAT ALL TEACHERS AND STAFF ARE PROTECTED WHEN WE COME TO WORK. THANK YOU. >> >> GOOD EVENING, BOARD. MY NAME IS VICKI YOUNG. I'M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER AT GALILEO. >> THIS IS MY 18TH YEAR AT GALILEO. I'VE SEEN A GRADUAL DECLINE IN STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND SAFETY ON CAMPUS SINCE COVID. SINCE THE COVID YEARS. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MR. MENDOZA AND MR. MENDOZA AND I 40 02:02:10.131 --> 02:02:41.290 HAVE COMMISERATED ON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAS BEEN A CONCERN OF HIS AS WELL AS MANY OTHER STAFF MEMBERS AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WE'VE HAD CONTINUE AS TURNOVER OF ADMINISTRATION. WE WE HAVEN'T HAD THE PROPER SUPPORT AND STAFF MEMBERS AND SECURITY THAT WE NEEDED ON CAMPUS. THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP A SCHOOL YEAR WHICH IS SHOWING UP AT A BOARD MEETING AT 630 TO TALK ABOUT SAVING A COLLEAGUE. >> THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING. CAMPUS SAFETY IS AN ONGOING 41 02:02:41.290 --> 02:03:15.530 ISSUE NOT JUST AT OUR CAMPUS I'M SURE TO OTHER CAMPUSES. I USED TO BE NSF USD STUDENT. I AM NOW A TEACHER. I'M ALSO A PARENT OF A STUDENT AT ONE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. PLEASE SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT SAFETY IS A PRIORITY FOR THE SCHOOLS NOT JUST FOR THE STAFF BUT FOR THE PARENTS AND FOR THE STUDENTS. >> THANK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS KATHLEEN NORTON. I'M AN ELC TEACHER AT GALILEO. MATT IS AN IMPORTANT LEADER AT 42 02:03:15.530 --> 02:03:46.494 GALILEO AND REMOVING HIM FROM THE SCHOOL WILL HURT THE WHOLE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. HIS COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING ISB IN THE LEADERSHIP CLASS IS WHAT ENABLES OUR SCHOOL CULTURE TO THRIVE AND RESPOND TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION. WE'VE BECOME THE LARGEST NEWCOMER SCHOOL AND REMOVING MATT DOES A HUGE DISSERVICE TO OUR VULNERABLE NEWCOMER STUDENTS BECAUSE HE CARES ABOUT THEM AND MAKE SURE TO REPRESENT THEM IN OUR COMMUNITY. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS RESPONSE TO MR. MENDEZ'S INCIDENT COMMUNICATES TO OUR NEWLY ARRIVED STUDENTS THAT ACTIONS DON'T HAVE LOGICAL OR REASONABLE CONSEQUENCES 43 02:03:46.494 --> 02:04:23.665 AND THAT SCHOOL IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR ANYONE WHEN IT SHOULD BE A SAFE PLACE FOR EVERYONE. AND IT'S THE DISTRICT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THAT REALITY. I'M ASKING THE BOARD TO REINSTATE MATT MENDOZA TO HIS RIGHTFUL POSITION AT GALILEO AND TO ENSURE THAT OUR SCHOOL IS A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF. HELLO. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS CARLA RODRIGUEZ AND I'VE BEEN AT GALLO FOR A TOTAL OF NINE YEARS FOUR AS A STUDENT AND FIVE AS A STAFF MEMBER. I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF MATT MENDOZA. MR. MENDOZA IS A CRUCIAL MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND A ROLE MODEL FOR STUDENTS ESPECIALLY 44 02:04:23.665 --> 02:04:59.340 FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS. BUT BESIDES THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS A BIGGER ISSUE AND THE MESSAGE THAT A TRANSFERRABLE SEND TO OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. I ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE HERE TODAY TO THINK ABOUT HOW OUR LATIN STUDENTS WILL FEEL ABOUT LOSING ONE OF THE FEW LATINO TEACHERS IN OUR SCHOOL ESPECIALLY IN TODAY'S POLITICAL CLIMATE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO REINSTATE MATT MENDOZA TO HIS POSITION AGO LOU. THANK YOU. >> EVENING. MY NAME'S DAVID BROWN. I'M THE DEPARTMENT FOR P.E.. SO I WORK CLOSELY WITH MATT. FOR EIGHT YEARS I'VE BEEN 45 02:04:59.340 --> 02:05:29.808 IN THE DISTRICT NOW FOR TEN. IN THAT TEN YEARS I'VE NOT ONCE BEEN TRAINED WITH THE PD. WE HAVE THESE RIDICULOUS TRAININGS WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. NOT ONCE HAVE I BEEN TOLD WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I'M ATTACKED BY A STUDENT, RIGHT? NOT ONCE HAVE I. I EVEN WORKED AT WILLIE BROWN AND NEVER TOLD ME WHAT TO DO AND I WAS ATTACKED SEVERAL TIMES THERE. OH, WE COULD HAVE CAUGHT THIS ON CAMERA. NO, THE DISTRICT DOESN'T PAY TO UPDATE OUR CAMERAS TO THE CAMERAS OUTSIDE OF CAMPUS DON'T WORK. OH, HOW ABOUT THE T TEN? THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED US. OH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH T TENS ON CAMPUS AND GALLEGO IS YOU KNOW IS TO CITY BLOCKS AND WE HAVE NO T TENS ON THAT SIDE OF 46 02:05:29.808 --> 02:06:04.309 CAMPUS NO ONE THERE IS NO ONE THERE TO PROTECT HIM. HE WAS PUNCHED VIOLENTLY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND THEN TRIED TO GET AWAY AND WAS ATTACKED EVEN MORE. WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO? >> LIKE COME ON, WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS. >> THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I ALREADY WROTE A LETTER ABOUT HOW MUCH I THINK OF HIM. I'M ACTUALLY TEARING UP THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT HIM AND HOW AMAZING OF A TEACHER HE IS A GALILEO NOT JUST AS A TEACHER BUT AS THE SB THE COACH EVERYTHING. IT'S WE GOT TO DO BETTER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS KEVIN FANNING AND I 47 02:06:04.309 --> 02:06:37.142 TEACH EOD GALILEO HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER OF MATT MENDOZA. MATT IS AN INTEGRAL AND RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE GALILEO COMMUNITY AND HE WAS A VICTIM OF AN ASSAULT LAST YEAR AND NOW HE IS THE VICTIM OF THE DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT'S ACTION SENDS A MESSAGE THAT TEACHERS ARE NOT SUPPORTED AND IT SENDS A MESSAGE TO STUDENTS THAT 48 02:06:37.142 --> 02:07:17.375 VIOLENCE IS A FEASIBLE WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. SO PLEASE WRITE THIS WRONG. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STEVEN CADET AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MATT MENDOZA AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE AT GALILEO HIGH SCHOOL TALKING ABOUT THE VISION SUPPORTED SCHOOLS STRONG SCHOOLS. WHAT IS THE VISION AGAIN ON THAT WEBSITE IT SAYS YOU ARE TAKING BOLD ACTION TO SUPPORT OUR EDUCATORS. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? SHAME CAN A SCHOOL BE EXCELLENT 49 02:07:21.186 --> 02:08:03.428 WITHOUT SAFETY? CAN A SCHOOL BE EXCELLENT WITHOUT JUSTICE? YOUR LEGACY COULD BE REMEMBERED FOR SUPPORT OF MATT MENDOZA AND THE REST OF THE INDIVIDUALS AT GALILEO HIGH SCHOOL. >> COULD BE SHOW US THAT'S YOUR VISION, BY THE WAY THAT READ UP. THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU MADE WHAT WAS IT CALLED AGAIN? >> SMALL TIME SMALL TALK DOT NEWS I HAVE ONE MORE CARD IS MAUREEN BROWN DID YOU AND EVERYONE IS SAID EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT MATT 50 02:08:03.428 --> 02:08:33.676 MENDOZA BUT WHAT I ALSO WANTED TO BRING UP IS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT IN TERMS OF SAFETY AT GALILEO. IT'S ALSO NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT OF UNJUST CAUSE FOR TRANSFERS AND SUSPENSIONS OF VERY QUALIFIED TEACHERS WHO SADLY HAVE ALL LEFT NOW TO JOIN THE VERY LUCKY SAN MATEO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, MARIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PALO ALTO PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO GET OUR TEACHERS WHO WERE SUSPENDED WHEN THEY WERE ASSAULTED BY STUDENTS AND THE 51 02:08:33.676 --> 02:09:12.490 STUDENTS WERE ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON CAMPUS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TEACHER MAINTAINING THEIR POSITIONS. SO WE'RE LOSING QUALIFIED EDUCATORS. OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE QUALIFIED STAFF NOT ONLY SAFETY. THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO SPOKE PRESIDENT KIM. THAT CONCLUDES THE IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT.

WE WILL BE REFINING THIS CALENDAR TO REFLECT MAJOR DECISION UPDATES, 96 02:36:26.490 --> 02:37:02.228 RECOMMENDATIONS FROM AD HOC COMMITTEES ON PROGRESS MONITORING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHICH WILL BE FURTHER REFINED IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS AND THEN SETTING REGULAR DATES IN THE FALL AND SPRING FOR ADVISORIES TO PRESENT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. AGAIN I WANT TO THANK BOARD LEADERSHIP AND THE ENTIRE TEAM FOR WORKING WITH US ON FINALIZING THIS CALENDAR AND OF COURSE FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE COMMISSIONERS SO THERE'S TWO ITEMS THAT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN 97 02:37:02.228 --> 02:37:32.325 SEPARATED OUT. THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE. SO THERE'S THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR THAT LAYS OUT THE AS LEGALLY REQUIRED ALL OF THE CADENCE AND DATES OF OUR REGULAR AND MONITORING MEETINGS. IT'S HARD TO HEAR NOW THE SUPPLEMENTAL CALENDAR IS THE CALENDAR THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED YOU'LL SEE ON THERE SPECIAL MEETINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED IN ADDITION TO MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTENT OF THOSE MEETINGS I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SPECIAL MEETINGS THE WAY THAT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG 98 02:37:32.325 --> 02:38:05.492 HERE THE WAY THAT WE ARE NAVIGATING THE SPECIAL MEETINGS IS THAT THOSE REFLECT THE THE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEETINGS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY COVER THE CONTENT THAT STAFF ARE PREPARING TO BRING IN FRONT OF US REGARDING OUR MAJOR DECISIONS. AND SO THAT MAY STILL CHANGE THAT WILL STILL BE AT THE CALL OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD. YOU'LL GET ADEQUATE INFORMATION AND TIMELY NOTICE FOR THOSE MEETINGS AS THEY COME UP. I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SLIGHT DIFFERENCE THERE 99 02:38:05.492 --> 02:38:36.117 IN THE THE MEETING STRUCTURE. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? I WOULD JUST FLAG FOR FOR COMMISSIONERS, FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR THOSE CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL MEETINGS ON THE SUPPLEMENT TILE WORKING DRAFT GOVERNANCE CALENDAR. SO BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MAJOR DECISIONS THAT ARE BEFORE THE BOARD, WE ARE ESSENTIALLY HAVING 3 TO 4 BOARD 100 02:38:37.457 --> 02:39:14.892 MEETINGS EVERY SINGLE MONTH WITH STUDY SESSIONS, RETREATS, SPECIAL MEETINGS TO HEAR FROM ADVISORY COMMITTEES SO NAP ASSUMING THAT THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR PASSED I'D ASK THE BOARD OFFICE TO PUT THOSE ON ALL OF THE ALL OF THOSE MEETINGS ON THE COMMISSIONERS CALENDARS AND FOR COMMISSIONERS TO BE AWARE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR SAYS THERE'S NOT A MEETING UNTIL TWO WEEKS THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A STUDY SESSION ON TUESDAY NEXT WEEK. OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS? >> YES. 101 02:39:15.896 --> 02:39:46.611 SO I WITH GRATITUDE TO TO THE TEAM IN GENERAL FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER BOTH LEADERSHIP THE SUPERINTENDENT HUNG MAY AND SOUNDS LIKE MR. FITZSIMONS FOR FOR FINALLY GETTING SOMETHING TO US I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I'M CURIOUS YOU KNOW SUPERINTENDENT, IF YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE NEXT TWO YEARS SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO MAJOR DECISIONS, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. I MEAN THIS IS HELPFUL TO JUST SORT OF GET A ROADMAP BUT I 102 02:39:46.611 --> 02:40:20.842 THINK IT'S ALSO HELPFUL TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS FOR ALL OF US TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FORESEE KIND OF THE CADENCE OF MEETINGS AND HOW WE USE THESE MEETINGS PARTICULARLY IF AS VICE PRESIDENT HULING IS INDICATED WE WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL MEETINGS TO IN BROAD BRUSH STROKE TERMS COME TO THE MAJOR DECISIONS THAT YOU KNOW, I THINK WE JUST STARTED THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND IN JUNE. >> YES. SO IF COMMISSIONERS AND THE PUBLIC GOES CAN CLICK INTO ONE OF THE THE SUPPLEMENTAL CALENDAR ITEM SUPPLEMENTAL 103 02:40:21.380 --> 02:40:55.347 CALENDAR WITHIN THIS ITEM YOU'LL START SEEING HOW WE'RE ENVISIONING THE THE CADENCE OF THE MEETINGS WHERE WE'RE HOPING TO START INFUSING STUDY SESSIONS INTO AND BETWEEN SOME OF OUR MEETINGS AND PARTICULARLY SOME OF THE MAJOR MEETINGS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVALS OF ITEMS. THE IDEA AROUND THE STUDY SESSION IS TO REALLY SEEK GUIDANCE FROM THE BOARD AROUND 104 02:40:55.347 --> 02:41:28.470 THINGS LIKE STUDENT ASYLUM POLICY, HOW WE ENVISION US ROLLING OUT LANGUAGE PATHWAYS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, HOW DO WE ENVISION AND MAXIMIZING NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS OR USING AND LEVERAGING SOME OF OUR LARGER SCHOOLS FOR PERHAPS CITYWIDE PROGRAMS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE ENGAGING WITH THIS BOARD AND WITH OUR LARGER COMMUNITY PRETTY SOON AROUND SOME OF THE KEY DATA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF 105 02:41:28.470 --> 02:42:02.541 THE BIG DEMOGRAPHICS THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM OUR DEMOGRAPHERS AND SHARING AND AND QUITE FRANKLY ASKING FOR GUIDANCE FROM THE BOARD ON HELPING US NARROW THE PATH TOWARDS THE MAJOR DECISIONS. >> OF NOTE IN OCTOBER WE'RE GOING TO BE SHARING BACK TO THE BOARD SOME OF THE MAJOR AREAS THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE BOARD REGARDING OR AFTER THE STUDY SESSIONS SO THAT BY APRIL OF 2027 WE'RE GOING TO SHARE 106 02:42:03.148 --> 02:42:36.189 WITH THE BOARD A PROPOSAL FOR A STUDENT ASSIGNMENT CHANGE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SEEKING APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD AT THAT POINT IN TIME. SO IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S I FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE IT'S A VERY AGGRESSIVE CALENDAR. IT WILL REQUIRE ALL OF US TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME DIGGING INTO THE DATA, HAVING SOME REALLY DEEP CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR OUR STUDENTS, WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR OUR FAMILIES TO LOOK AT THIS DATA TO MAKE MEANING FROM THIS 107 02:42:36.189 --> 02:43:10.624 DATA AND TO PIVOT AND CHANGE CHANGE OUR STUDENT ASSIGNMENT PROCESS, CHANGE HOW WE FILL OUR SCHOOLS, CHANGE PERHAPS HOW WE USE OUR SCHOOL BUILDINGS. BUT THOSE ARE ALL BIG QUESTIONS AND BIG CONVERSATIONS THAT WE AS A GOVERNANCE TEAM WILL BE ENGAGING IN ALL OF THIS YEAR. >> SORRY CAN I ASK YOU TO JUST REPEAT THE DATA THAT VOTE ON THE ANTICIPATED VOTE ON THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM IN APRIL OF 27? ONE ONE FOLLOW UP SUPERINTENDENT SO I SEE THE 108 02:43:10.624 --> 02:43:44.323 OCTOBER AND THE APRIL DATES IN HERE AROUND STUDENT ASSIGNMENT POLICIES WHEN IT COMES TO SAY SCHOOL PORTFOLIO OR SCHOOL MERGERS ARE THERE DATES THAT WE CAN ALREADY PUT IN HERE? YES. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GRAPPLE WITH AS AS A GOVERNANCE TEAM AS WE START LOOKING AT THE DATA, AS WE START TRYING TO MAKE DECISIONS AROUND HOW WE WILL ASSIGN STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS ,WE'RE GOING TO START VERY 109 02:43:44.323 --> 02:44:14.954 QUICKLY SEE THAT PERHAPS THERE ARE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR CITY THAT WON'T HAVE ENOUGH STUDENTS FOR THE NUMBER OF SCHOOLS WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE AS A BODY WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ALSO BE GRAPPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SOME PARTS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN AND WE'VE GOT TINY LITTLE SCHOOLS. SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT? 110 02:44:14.954 --> 02:44:48.522 SO THE ALL OF THAT TO SAY THAT AS WE START PUSHING ON THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT WORK WE'RE GOING TO ALSO START SEEING HOW IT IMPACTS OUR SCHOOL PORTFOLIO AS WELL AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS AND HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WOULD IT MEAN FOR US TO USE AND PROGRAM FACILITIES PERHAPS CONVERT A SCHOOL THAT IS INTO FULLY ENROLLED TO HAVE A A 111 02:44:48.522 --> 02:45:20.553 LANGUAGE PATHWAY AT THAT SCHOOL OR TO PERHAPS REPURPOSE THE USAGE OF THAT SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THAT IS GOING TO BE A DECISION THAT WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON TOGETHER. IT IS NOT SCHEDULED OUT YET BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO IN MY MIND BE A VERY ORGANIC PROCESS THE WAY IT'S GOING TO COME OUT THROUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS ATIONS I'LL JUST NAME MY DISCOMFORT WITH THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE BOARD HAD INDICATED A TIMELINE OF TWO 112 02:45:20.553 --> 02:45:51.201 YEARS AND WE SAW THAT PUSHED OUT TO FOUR AND SO I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE DATES THAT WE ARE AIMING FOR THAT YOU KNOW WE MAY CHANGE WE CAN YOU KNOW WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT SO THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE RATHER THAN POTENTIALLY BE, YOU KNOW, US NOT AGAIN. I JUST DON'T WANT A REPEAT OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEN HAVING THAT CONVERSATION AND MAYBE AT THE END OF THESE TWO YEARS TO ME THAT WOULD BE FRANKLY UNACCEPTABLE 113 02:45:51.201 --> 02:46:22.766 AND DERELICTION OF DUTY AS A BOARD MEMBER FOR MYSELF AND COMMISSIONER GUPTA I'LL JUST ADD TO THAT ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE BEEN HAVING IS IS I MEAN THERE IS A NATURAL DECISION POINT WHICH IS THE ENROLLMENT FAIR THAT WE KNOW IS TAKING PLACE IN OCTOBER. AND SO FOR ANY PORTFOLIO CHANGES OR PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE THAT IMPACT WHETHER FAMILIES CHOOSE A SCHOOL FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR SHOULD BE MADE BY THE OCTOBER AT THE LATEST RIGHT SO THAT THE ENROLLMENT CAN REFLECT THAT. THAT REMINDS ME ACTUALLY 114 02:46:22.766 --> 02:46:53.196 AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS EVEN MENTAL NOTE FOR A LEADERSHIP TEAM EVEN THE RECOMMENDED PORTFOLIO CHANGES FOR EXAMPLE THE KEY MANDARIN SCHOOL WE SHOULD WE SHOULD ADD TO THE CALENDAR BECAUSE WE WILL NEED TO DISCUSS THAT BOOK AT A MEETING PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER ENROLLMENT FAIR FOR THIS OCTOBER. SO IT'S A GOOD IT'S A GOOD CALL OUT THANK YOU. BUT THAT THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A PORTFOLIO CHANGE BECAUSE WE HAVE COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT NUMBER ONE 115 02:46:53.196 --> 02:47:28.826 WE'RE GOING TO OPEN A K-8 MANDARIN SCHOOL. AND NUMBER TWO, WE WILL SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY THE SHORT TERM SITE, THE TEMPORARY SITE OF THAT SCHOOL AND THEN GO THROUGH A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THE LONG TERM SITE FOR THAT SCHOOL. AND THAT IN AND OF ITSELF IS A PORTFOLIO CHANGE THAT IS NECESSARY AND REQUIRED. AND YES, I APPRECIATE COMMISSIONER GUPTA CALLING THIS A LIVING A LIVING DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT IS IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SOME WILL GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE ALL 116 02:47:30.634 --> 02:48:07.938 THIS OUTLINED. >> YOU KNOW, PUBLICLY, TRANSPARENTLY. I THINK IT GIVES US A ANOTHER ACCOUNTABILITY PATH WITH THE PUBLIC. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO'S WORKED ON IT. >> MY CONCERN SPECIFICALLY YOU KNOW IN LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE DATES OCTOBER 13TH VOTE TO CONFIRM ENROLLMENT POLICY DIRECTION APRIL 13TH VOTE ON UPDATED STUDENT ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM PARTICULARLY WITH THE ENROLLMENT POLICY DIRECTION WITH OUR GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK, OUR JOB AS A BOARD IS TO REFLECT THE VALUES OF THE 117 02:48:07.938 --> 02:48:42.711 COMMUNITY AND AND IT'S THIS DOES NOT THIS TIMELINE THAT'S TWO MONTHS FROM NOW I DON'T SEE WHERE OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CAN BE AUTHENTICALLY DONE IN TWO MONTHS. SO I KNOW THERE ARE PLANS TO DISTILL DOWN, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND THE INFORMATION WE ALREADY HAVE. BUT I'M ALSO AND THIS IS TO YOU DR. SUE BUT ALSO TO YOU PRESIDENT KIM BECAUSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY 118 02:48:42.711 --> 02:49:15.877 THE BOARD AS WELL AS BY DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. SO WHAT ARE OUR PLANS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE REALLY DONE OUR ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PREPARED TO MEET OUR GOVERNANCE MANDATES IN RELATIONSHIP TO THESE DATES ? I CAN START AND THEN HAND IT OFF TO HOME OR IT OFF BACK TO PRESIDENT KIM. BUT THE OCTOBER DATE IS GOING IS VERY INTENTIONAL BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT AFTER THE STUDY SESSIONS WITH THE BOARD. WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO GET FROM THE BOARD ARE DIRECTIONS SO 119 02:49:15.877 --> 02:49:49.838 THAT WE CAN JUST FIGURE OUT DIRECTIONALITY WHERE WE WANT TO MOVE. ARE WE REALLY GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN ON ON ON PREDICTABILITY AND CHOICE AS THE TWO MAIN GUARDRAILS AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN BUILDING THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENT POLICY OR DO WE WANT TO DOUBLE DOWN ON ANOTHER GUARDRAIL? SO WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE BOARD THERE YOUR YOUR DIRECTION AND THEN AFTER WE RECEIVE THAT 120 02:49:50.445 --> 02:50:20.942 WE WILL THEN DO SOME VERY, VERY DEEP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS TO THEN LAND AT A RECOMMENDATION IN APRIL. BUT HOMAGE YOU WANT TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT? >> YEAH. THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS ENTIRE WORKSTREAM IS TO REALLY BE ABLE TO BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE FUNDAMENTALLY THE IMPACTS OF SOME OF THESE MAJOR DECISIONS FIRST OF ALL HAS TO BE DONE SO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY TO REFLECT THE 121 02:50:20.942 --> 02:50:52.307 VALUES. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTATION, SUCCESS OF IMPLEMENTATION WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ADOPT A SYSTEMIC APPROACH AND A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO SYNTHESIZE DIGEST THE EXISTING DATA FROM COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS PREVIOUSLY IS REALLY BUILDING OUT A STRUCTURE AND A PLAN THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT DISTRICT WIDE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS PART OF THE FABRIC OF HOW WE GO ABOUT 122 02:50:52.307 --> 02:51:28.217 ENGAGING SCHOOL COMMUNITIES THROUGH EXISTING STRUCTURES SUCH AS SCHOOLS LIKE COUNCIL SUCH AS COMMUNITY SCHOOL, SUCH AS YOU KNOW THE PTA THAT EXISTS AT EACH SCHOOL SITE BUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LEADERSHIP STRUCTURES THAT AN INFRASTRUCTURE IS THAT WE CAN TAP INTO TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SITE ADMINISTRATORS, SITE LEADERS, CENTRAL ADMINISTRATORS IN ORDER TO REALLY YOU KNOW, REALLY BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE THE IMPACTS OF THESE POLICY MAKING YOU KNOW 123 02:51:28.692 --> 02:52:00.723 ,MECHANICS INTO AS PART OF THE PLANNING PROCESS IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO GATHER AND SYNTHESIZE AND INTEGRATE FEEDBACK AND INPUT. >> SO WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO IMPLEMENT AN INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING FRAMEWORK PER GUARDRAIL ONE IT IS PART OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING INTERNALLY AS THE SYSTEMS BUILDING WORK FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND ALSO AS PART OF THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING EXTERNALLY NOT JUST WITH THE PUBLIC WITH PARENTS BUT ALSO I THINK WITH CITY AGENCIES 124 02:52:00.723 --> 02:52:34.491 AS WELL AS COMMUNITY PARTNERS AS WELL AND COMMISSIONER FOR SURE I YOU KNOW IN SOME WAYS I THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONVERSATION AMONG LEADERSHIP AROUND AROUND THAT OCTOBER. THE SIGNIFICANCE AND WHAT THAT MEANS LIKE WHAT IS THE ASK FOR OCTOBER AND I'LL JUST I'LL JUST REITERATE WHAT I SHARED IN LEADERSHIP. YOU KNOW, I THINK IN SOME WAYS THE BOARD HAS ALREADY GIVEN GUIDANCE AROUND THE DIRECTION THAT WE WANT TO GO DOWN. BACK IN OCTOBER, RIGHT THAT 125 02:52:34.491 --> 02:53:04.721 GUIDANCE WAS AROUND OUR MAJOR DECISIONS ONE AROUND PORTFOLIO THAT WE ADDRESS THE REALITY OF OUR 1400 14,000 EMPTY SEATS BY TALKING ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS IN OUR FOOTPRINT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND TALKING ABOUT HOW WE FILL THOSE SEATS THROUGH OUR ENROLLMENT MOVING AWAY FROM LOTTERY FOR ALL AND CLOSER TO HIS OWN BASE MODEL UNDERSTANDING LIKE THERE ARE DIMENSIONS OF THAT THAT WE NEED TO UNPACK AND UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE. AND SO TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THAT DIRECTION HAS BEEN GIVEN, RIGHT? SO LIKE THERE'S THAT THAT IS THAT'S A CONVERSATION WE'VE 126 02:53:04.721 --> 02:53:38.622 ALREADY HAD AS A BOARD SO WE MAY ACTUALLY EVEN GET THERE FASTER, RIGHT? THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD AS A AS LEADERSHIP WAS WE MAY ACTUALLY NOT EVEN LIKE I DON'T WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE CONTENT FOR OCTOBER SO I DON'T KNOW BUT WE MAY ACTUALLY JUST GET THERE FASTER BY NATURE OF THE BOARD ALREADY HAVING GIVEN KIND OF A PERSPECTIVE AROUND THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING DOWN, I THINK STAFF ARE UNDERSTANDABLY MEANINGFULLY TRYING TO MEET THE FRAMEWORK OF THE INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. BUT AGAIN I THINK WHAT WE HAVE ITERATED REITERATED IS YOU 127 02:53:38.622 --> 02:54:15.661 KNOW, IF IN SOME WAYS LIKE WE HAVE EXHAUSTED THAT CONVERSATION IN SOME WAYS AND SO WE ARE IF WE CAN GET THERE FASTER WE'RE HAPPY TOO. AND SO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE OVER THE NEXT FEW KIND OF STUDY SESSIONS WE HAVEN'T SEEN YET BUT THAT'S BEEN A CONVERSATION PART OF THE CONVERSATION WE'VE BEEN HAVING. THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION. THAT WAS A VERY HELPFUL CONTEXT AND INFORMATION AND AS THE I FEEL LIKE THE RESIDENT HISTORIAN ON THE BOARD, I ALSO WANT TO CAUTION US AGAINST 128 02:54:15.661 --> 02:54:49.280 REPEATING THE REPEATING THE SINS OF THE PAST NOT OFFICIAL HISTORIAN I'M NOT BUT YOU KNOW I'M THE OLD LADY WHO'S BEEN AROUND THROUGH MANY, MANY ROUNDS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. OKAY? SO IN ONE OF THE ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF THE 2018 JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE RESPONSE TO THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION CAUTIONING AGAINST MOVING TO ZONES UNTIL WE HAD EQUITABLE RESOURCES DISTRIBUTED THROUGH AND WE SPENT AN ENTIRE YEAR ON AN AD HOC ON STUDENT ASSIGNMENT 129 02:54:49.280 --> 02:55:23.195 SYSTEM TRYING TO WORK OUT THIS VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE WITH INCREDIBLE OUTSIDE RESOURCES DEMOGRAPHERS, RESEARCHERS, VERY, VERY SMART PEOPLE BEFORE US HAVE TRIED TO TACKLE THIS PROBLEM AND FAILED. SO I WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS HERE AND I WANT TO I WANT TO APPROACH THIS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HUMILITY AND AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR EXPECTATIONS I MEAN HONESTLY I DON'T KNOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT COMMUNITY REALLY WANTS NOW BECAUSE WHAT WE TRIED TO PUT TOGETHER BEFORE WASN'T 130 02:55:23.195 --> 02:55:54.360 IT WE COULDN'T MEET COMMUNITY DEMANDS. SO THAT'S PART OF WHY I KEEP PUSHING BACK ON OUR ROLE AS A BOARD TO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND DO ASK OURSELVES DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FAILED RBI PROCESS? LIKE I'M NOT SURE THAT WE HAVE DONE SUFFICIENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FRANKLY TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT WE KNOW WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS IN ORDER TO GIVE DIRECTION AT THIS POINT THAT'S ALL I'M 131 02:55:54.360 --> 02:56:29.661 SAYING. >> THANK YOU AND I APOLOGIZE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIMER GOING BUT I'M SURE THAT WAS WITHIN THREE MINUTES. >> OH NO, IT WAS WELL OVER. I HAD A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT AND IRENE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO STOP THE TIMER INSTEAD OF BUZZING ME SO I APOLOGIZE. I WENT WELL OVER THREE MINUTES WITH THAT. RIGHT. SORRY. AND THAT WAS MY FAULT FOR NOT NOTICING THAT THE TIMER WAS AT ZERO. >> SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> COMMISSIONER RAY THANK YOU PRESIDENT CAN I ALSO JUST WANT TO SHARE MY APPRECIATION FOR MR. FITZSIMONS WORK ON THIS CALENDAR WHICH HAS BEEN A 132 02:56:29.661 --> 02:57:04.303 DIFFICULT THING FOR ALL OF US FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WE'RE VERY, VERY GLAD TO SEE IT. I HAVE SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS PARTICULARLY BUT I WANTED TO COMMENT FIRST I GUESS THAT I SHARE COMMISSIONER GUPTA'S CONCERNS ABOUT FRANKLY BEING EXTREMELY LOOSEY GOOSEY AND LETTING THIS DRAG OUT INDEFINITELY. >> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FEEL CONFIDENT FROM SAYING FOR MANY YEARS IS THE PARENT ADVOCATE AND THAT AS A BOARD MEMBER THERE IS VERY WIDESPREAD AGREEMENT AMONG FOLKS IN TERMS OF 133 02:57:04.975 --> 02:57:37.670 DISSATISFACTION WITH THE LOTTERY LIKE THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE A PERFECT SOLUTION. WE DON'T WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION. BUT I THINK OUR GREATER TRAP IS TO CONTINUE TO DO FUNCTIONALLY NOTHING AND CONTINUE TO LET PEOPLE DOWN WHEN THEY EXPECT US TO BE MAKING A DECISION. GIVEN HOW MANY PEOPLE AGREE THAT IT'S AN ISSUE. SO I SHARE HIS CONCERNS. I WOULD RATHER SEE DATES SET AND THEN MODIFICATIONS MADE AS NEEDED RATHER THAN JUST LIVING THINGS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I THINK THAT LEADS US TO THE PATH OF DOING NOTHING ULTIMATELY AND TO FURTHER 134 02:57:39.143 --> 02:58:10.574 STUDENT ENROLLMENT LOSS AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AS A RESULT. MY QUESTIONS RELATE ALSO AROUND TIMELINE AND IF YOU COULD PROVIDE AN UPDATE FOR US AND FOR THE PUBLIC ON IN PARTICULAR THE MANDARIN IMMERSION PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND A SORT OF A CLEAR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING FOR THE PUBLIC AND THE MANY FAMILIES OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WILL THERE BE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ON THE SHORT TERM LOCATION? IF NOT, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THE DECISION MAKING ON 135 02:58:10.574 --> 02:58:42.873 THAT? AND SIMILARLY WITH REGARD TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THE LONG TERM LOCATION, I UNDERSTAND THAT WILL OCCUR BUT WHAT TIMELINE CAN THEY EXPECT FOR THAT? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER RAY AND THANK YOU ALSO TO COMMISSIONER RAY FOR JOINING US AND ALL OF OUR PUBLIC COMMUNITY MEETINGS WITH THE AMAZING LIANA SITO WHO IS THE CONSULTANT WHO IS WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. AND AS LIANA SHARED IN THE LAST COMMUNITY MEETING WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THE 136 02:58:42.873 --> 02:59:17.241 LOCATION FOR THE SHORT TERM SITE BEFORE THE ENROLLMENT FAIR SO LATEST IN OCTOBER AND AND THEN ALSO SHARE THE THE THE OPTIONS FOR THE LONG TERM SITE AND THEN ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY. MY COMMITMENT IS THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO IDENTIFY A LONG TERM SITE WITHOUT MAKING SURE THAT AT A MINIMUM THE COMMUNITY IS AWARE OF IT BECAUSE AGAIN SPEAKING TO WHAT COMMISSIONER FISHER WAS REFERRING TO, WE CANNOT REPEAT THE ILLS OF THE 137 02:59:17.241 --> 02:59:50.540 PAST. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT AND REMIND OURSELVES THAT WE NEED TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITIES AS WE ARE MAKING CHANGES TO THEIR COMMUNITY. SO AGAIN WE WILL BE SHARING THE SHORT TERM LOCATION SITE LATEST BY OCTOBER AND THEN WE WILL SHARE THE LIST OF POTENTIAL LONG TERM SITES SHORTLY AFTER THAT. AND I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE AND I COME TO THE TIMING PERHAPS THE THE TIMING OF WHEN COMMUNITY 138 02:59:50.540 --> 03:00:22.106 ENGAGEMENT WILL OCCUR. WELL, SO THE SHORT TERM SITE WILL AGAIN BE SHARED BEFORE OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR AND THEN THE SCHOOL WILL START IN THAT SHORT TERM SITE. THERE WILL BE A YEAR LONG PROCESS WHERE THE NOT YEARLONG ENGAGEMENT PROCESS BUT SEVERAL MONTHS PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THE LONG TERM SITE BUT THAT WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THIS SCHOOL YEAR FOR THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. WHAT I ACTUALLY WANTED TO 139 03:00:22.106 --> 03:00:53.270 MENTION WAS JUST THAT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH OUR THE FIRST PUBLIC CHINESE IMMERSION SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY ,ALICE FONG YU WHEN WE STARTED THAT SCHOOL WE ALSO HAD A SHORT TERM LOCATION FOR THAT SCHOOL AND THAT SHORT TERM LOCATION FOR THAT SCHOOL WAS AT WEST PORTAL AND STUDENTS STARTED OUT AT WEST PORTAL WHILE WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING OUT THE NOW ALICE FONG YU PERMANENT SITE. SO ONCE OUR STUDENTS WERE ONCE A WEST PORTAL THE ALICE PHONE 140 03:00:53.270 --> 03:01:25.770 USE WAS DONE. THEN WE MOVED ALL OF OUR WEST PORTAL SITES STUDENTS OVER. >> SO IT'S SIMILAR IN THAT PROCESS IN THAT VEIN. AND AGAIN I COMMIT TO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND POTENTIAL LONG TERM SITES. >> IS THERE A ROUGH TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THAT WILL OCCUR FOR THE LONG TERM SITES? I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE PURVIEW OF THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR ITSELF. SO IT'S A GREAT QUESTION THOUGH 141 03:01:25.770 --> 03:02:00.400 AND SO IF WE CAN JUST FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. YEAH. YEAH. BUT THE COMMUNICATION WITH PLAN AND ACTUALLY ON THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR SO IF WE CAN JUST FOLLOW UP ANYTHING THAT'LL BE REALLY HELPFUL. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER THANK YOU. >> I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS GOVERNANCE CALENDAR WHICH MAYBE IS WEIRD BUT I AM I THINK THAT IT THE REASON I LIKE IT A LOT AND ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF THIS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT QUESTION IS BECAUSE THERE ARE 142 03:02:00.400 --> 03:02:32.770 SO MANY MEETINGS WHICH MEANS WELL IT MEANS I'M GOING TO GET TO SEE MY FRIENDS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD EVERY TUESDAY WHICH IS GREAT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT MEANS THAT OUR MEETINGS AREN'T GOING TO GO UNTIL 11 OR 12:00 AT NIGHT AND INSTEAD WE'RE GOING HAVE MORE OF THEM AT TIMES WHEN PEOPLE CAN COME AND THEY'RE FOCUSED ON PARTICULAR TOPICS SO PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE THIS IS THE ONE THAT I'M INTERESTED IN AND WHEN I HAVE ENERGY FOR THAT ONE I WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN. SO I JUST THINK THIS IS RESPONSIBLE IN TERMS OF GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE PUBLIC. >> I CANNOT MAKE NEXT WEEK'S 143 03:02:32.770 --> 03:03:02.942 MEETING BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD SCHEDULED TIME AWAY SO I APOLOGIZE TO MISS YOU ALL THERE BUT THE OTHER ONES I CAN COMMIT TO SO SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT . I REALLY WANT TO THANK SUPERINTENDENT SUE AND HER TEAM. I MEAN I'VE NOW BEEN ON THE BOARD THROUGH WITH THREE SUPERINTENDENTS AND TWO OF THEM COMPLETELY FAILED TO ADDRESS THE STUDENT ENROLLMENT SYSTEM WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PAIN POINTS THAT HAS BEEN FACING SFI 144 03:03:02.942 --> 03:03:33.573 USD FOR YEARS AND WAS PASSED BY A NEW POLICY WAS PASSED BY THE BOARD IN 2019 2020 AND SO I LOVE THIS ALSO TO SEE THAT WE HAVE DATES FOR VOTES OCTOBER APRIL AGAIN LIKE I AND I APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY ACTUALLY AS WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT IF IT'S CLEAR EARLIER WE CAN MOVE FASTER IF IT'S NOT CLEAR AND WE NEED MORE TIME WE CAN TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME. AND SO I THINK THOSE TWO CHECKPOINTS MAKE A LOT OF SENSE WITH SOME FLEXIBILITY BASED ON THE FEEDBACK FROM BOARD AND COMMUNITY. AND SO I JUST THANK YOU FOR 145 03:03:33.573 --> 03:04:05.806 YOUR LEADERSHIP AND FOR FINALLY MAKING THIS HAPPEN. I THINK IT'S JUST IT FRANKLY IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS MOST EMBARRASSED ABOUT ON BEING ON THE BOARD IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TO COMPLETE THIS PROMISE THAT WE MADE TO THE TO THE VOTERS AND ALSO TO THE PEOPLE OF SAN FRANCISCO TO REALLY FIX THIS BROKEN ENROLLMENT SYSTEM. AND WE'RE FINALLY DOING IT. AND SO I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE COMMISSIONER FISHER THAT THERE'S COMPLEXITIES. BUT BUT I THINK THIS LAYS OUT A TIMELINE AND ROADMAP. THE OTHER THING THAT'S ON HERE THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS THE GOAL MONITORING SESSIONS AND THE SECOND BEST AD HOC 146 03:04:05.806 --> 03:04:39.373 COMMITTEE LAST YEAR DEVELOPED SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND SO WE'RE NOW GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE THEM IMPLEMENTED IN OUR GOAL MONITORING SESSIONS AND I THINK I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO CARE ABOUT STRATEGIC RESOURCE ALIGNMENT TOWARD OUR ACADEMIC GOALS TO COME ON AUGUST 25TH, SEPTEMBER 22ND AND OCTOBER 27TH FOR THE NEXT THREE GOAL MONITORING SESSIONS WHERE WE'RE REALLY GOING TO HOPEFULLY STEP UP OUR GAME AROUND AROUND THAT PROCESS AS WELL. >> SO THANK YOU. I'LL KEEP THIS SHORT. >> YOU CAN PROBABLY JUST EVEN 147 03:04:39.373 --> 03:05:12.338 PUT ON 90S AND I'M GOOD. I NEVER USE MY FULL THREE MINUTES. I WANT TO I ALSO JUST WANT TO EXTEND GRATITUDE. >> THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. IT'S CLEARLY AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AND THERE'S A LOT OF SEQUENCING AND THINKING ABOUT SORT OF THE ORDER AND IT'S IT FEELS A LOT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE LIKE CHICKEN AND EGG CONVERSATIONS. SO I DO APPRECIATE THE COMPLEXITY I GUESS IN RESPONSE. COMMISSIONER ALEX AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE SMALL I THINK ONE SMALL POINT WHICH IS I THINK THAT THE THE MANY 148 03:05:12.338 --> 03:05:44.118 MEETINGS ARE LOVELY BECAUSE WE GET TO SEE EACH OTHER'S FACES AND I DO THINK IT'S GOOD IN TERMS OF TRANSPARENCY BUT I WANT TO BE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT CONFLATING TRANSPARENCY FOR ENGAGEMENT BECAUSE AS WE KNOW THIS THESE MEETINGS ARE NOT THERE'S NOT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE CAN'T ENGAGE BACK WITH THE PUBLIC. AND SO TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATIONS IN PUBLIC BUT THAT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGAGEMENT PIECE REMAINS SEPARATE AND THAT MEANS WE ARE OUT IN COMMUNITY NOT FOLKS COMING HERE. 149 03:05:45.524 --> 03:06:20.559 LOOK AT THAT. THAT WAS A 45 SECONDS WHEN I DO AND I APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT MR. FISHER AND COMMISSIONER AND WARD SAID ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THOSE THINGS ARE NOT NECESSARILY ON OUR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR BUT I SHARE THAT CONCERN AND COMMITMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVEN AS WE PROVIDE PRELIMINARY DIRECTION IN OCTOBER THAT THE BOARD IS ABLE TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS AND GIVE OUR DIRECTION INFORMED BY OUR COMMUNITIES AND VOTERS 150 03:06:20.559 --> 03:06:53.458 AND SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS SO I THINK THAT THAT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS TO START EARLY AND ESPECIALLY ALSO AROUND THINGS LIKE SITING SCHOOLS. >> I REALLY ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS GOVERNANCE CALENDAR IS THAT IT IS LARGELY A WORK PLAN AND I KNOW KIND OF WE'VE BEEN A DISTRICT IN CRISIS IN THE PAST AND WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT AND TO NOT BE KIND OF RESPONDING CRISIS TO CRISIS. AND SO PART OF THAT IS SETTING OUR DEADLINES OUT IN ADVANCE 151 03:06:53.458 --> 03:07:26.958 AND BEING ABLE TO WORK BACKWARD FROM THEM SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER ON AND ACHIEVE THE PROMISES THAT WE'VE MADE TO OUR COMMUNITY AROUND FINALLY CHANGING THE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM AND ALSO MAKING HARD DECISIONS AROUND OUR SCHOOL PORTFOLIO AND DOING THE THINGS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES AND SOME SCHOOL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERRESOURCED. SO I WOULD SAY THAT ONE THING THAT IS MISSING FROM THIS GOVERNANCE CALENDAR IS A FEW DEADLINES AND NOT THE ACTUAL GOVERNANCE CALENDAR BUT THE 152 03:07:26.958 --> 03:08:01.526 SUPPLEMENTAL CALENDAR WE'VE DISCUSSED A FEW TIMES MAKING SURE THAT DEADLINES ARE ON HERE . SO LAST DAY TO BRING TO THE BOARD A VOTE ON ANY CHANGES TO SCHOOL PORTFOLIO FOR EXAMPLE BECAUSE THAT IS A MAJOR DECISION EVEN IF IT'S NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED. AND SO WE PROBABLY SHOULD ADD THAT FOR EXAMPLE I BELIEVE THE LAST MEETING THIS YEAR BEFORE THE ENROLLMENT FAIR IS THAT'S A REGULAR MEETING IS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13TH AND SAME FOR NEXT 153 03:08:01.526 --> 03:08:34.900 YEAR IF THERE ARE INDEED SCHOOL PORTFOLIO CHANGES THAT FOLLOW FROM ANY ENROLLMENT CHANGES THAT ARE MADE THAT SHOULD BE ON THERE AND I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST AS WELL LIKE LAST DATA PURCHASE NEW CURRICULUM SO THAT IT COMES IN TIME FOR IT TO ARRIVE AND TEACHERS TO RECEIVE PROPER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON IMPLEMENTING IT OR YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE THAT THAT IMPACT FOR EXAMPLE STAFFING DECISIONS BEFORE THE MARCH LAYOFF DEADLINE, THINGS LIKE THAT. 154 03:08:34.900 --> 03:09:14.870 AND SO MAYBE WE CAN CONTINUE TO JUST REFINE A FEW OF THOSE WORK PLAN ISSUES IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL CALENDAR AS ESPECIALLY AS THINGS COME MORE INTO FOCUS TOO MANY QUESTIONS KIND OF MOVE US ON. >> DEBATE IS NOW CLOSED ON THE MOTION TO APPROVE 268 DASH 11 SB TWO BOARD OF EDUCATION GOVERNANCE CALENDAR FISCAL YEAR 2628 CAN WE DO A ROLL CALL PLEASE? >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER YES. COMMISSIONER FISCHER YES. COMMISSIONER GUPTA. YES. VICE PRESIDENT EWING. YES. COMMISSIONER RAY YES. 155 03:09:15.540 --> 03:09:57.782 COMMISSIONER WISEMAN WARD YES. >> PRESIDENT KIM YES. STUDENT DELEGATE NGUYEN OH YES. STUDENT DELEGATE FOXMAN YES. THANK YOU. OKAY. MOVING TO ITEM G TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 14 I WAS PULLED FROM CONSENT TITLE 268 DASH 11 PUGH ONE I'M GOING TO READ ONLY THIS THIS ONLY WANTS RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT NOT TO EXCEED $270 MILLION OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND NOT TO 156 03:09:57.782 --> 03:10:30.949 EXCEED $235 MILLION. THE GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS OF THE SAME SCHOOL UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO SAID BONDS. CAN I HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND SOME OF THE SECOND COMMENTS JUST BEEN PROPERLY MOVED AND SECONDED THAT THE BOARD APPROVED 268 DASH £0.11 ONE DR. SUE YES. >> SO WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SOME CLERICAL THERE WAS SOME ERRORS IN THE WAY WE PUT TOGETHER THIS ITEM. I'M GOING TO ASK OUR DEPUTY 157 03:10:30.949 --> 03:11:02.781 SUPERINTENDENT OF BUSINESS SERVICES CHRIS AND HE IS TO SHARE AN UPDATE VERSION OF THIS ITEM. SO THE BOARD IS APPROVING IT TO FORM THE POST THE THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FOR US TO SELL BONDS WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS AUTHORIZING AS WELL AS DO SOME REFUNDING OF PAST BONDS FOR TAXPAYER SAVINGS YOU'RE APPROVING AS TO FORM IT'S A THOSE OF YOU THAT WORK IN THE LAW SEE IT'S A VERY REGULATED FORM AND ACTUALLY IT NEEDS LAWYER APPROVAL. SO I CAN'T COMMIT TO CHANGES HERE BUT I WILL CHANGE THE 158 03:11:02.781 --> 03:11:41.302 TITLE AND THE AUDITING STATEMENT FOR THE SEE BACK GROUP AND YEAH COMMISSIONER FISHER I JUST WANT AN I THINK THIS IS A QUESTION MORE FOR LEGAL COUNSEL THAN ANYONE BECAUSE THIS WAS PROPERLY MOTIONED IT WAS INCLUDED ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS A AS AN ACTION ITEM SO IT WAS PULLED BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BROWN ACT NOTICING ISSUES WITH PULLING IT FROM CONSENT AND THEN VOTING ON IT TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO DOT OUR EYES, CROSS OUR T'S, MAKE SURE THAT PROCEDURALLY WE'RE OKAY TO DO 159 03:11:41.302 --> 03:12:14.868 THIS. YES WE ARE. THANK YOU. DID WE WANT TO READ INTO THE RECORD SPECIFIC LANGUAGE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING MADE? I I AGAIN IT'S TO FORM I ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE THE LAWYERS APPROVE FINAL TECHNICAL CHANGES SO THEY HAVE THEY HAVE TO AGREE TO THE LANGUAGE CHANGES. SO I WILL TELL THEM WHAT THE INTENT OF THE CHANGES WHICH I BELIEVE WAS A STATEMENT OF THE LOCAL NAME OF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE VERSUS THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE AND TO CHANGE THAT THEY REVIEW THE AUDIT. 160 03:12:14.868 --> 03:12:48.902 THEY DON'T SET THE AUDIT WHICH WAS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE EMAIL. I THINK I THINK WHAT WE CAN DO IS JUST SAY WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE AND THE BOARD APPROVE AND THEN THE LAWYERS MAKE THE CHANGES AFTERWARDS WHICH IS WHAT JUST HAPPENED. >> RIGHT. OKAY GREAT. >> JUST WANT TO CONFIRM JUST SO CAN CAN I MAYBE THEN MAKE A MOVE AN AMENDMENT TO THIS MATTER AND READ THE CHANGE LANGUAGE INTO THE RECORD 161 03:12:48.902 --> 03:13:18.998 WORKING WITH I THINK WHAT COUNSEL JUST SAID WAS THAT IT IT'S NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE STAFF JUST NEED THE CHANGES DON'T I DON'T KNOW. >> JUST FOR THE RECORD I CAN SAY THERE ARE TWO CHANGES ONE IS THE NAME SO THAT THE ATTORNEYS WILL MAKE THE CHANGE TO THE OFFICIAL NAME OR THEY MAY ADD LANGUAGE SUCH AS ALSO KNOWN AS THE SECOND CHANGE IS THAT THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW NOT AUDIT. I THINK IT WAS JUST A LANGUAGE CORRECT AND THE COMMITTEE'S 162 03:13:18.998 --> 03:13:53.833 RESPONSIBILITY IS TO REVIEW THE REQUIRED ANNUAL STATUTORY AUDIT OF THE BOND PROGRAM NOT TO SET THE AUDIT TERMS THAT'S SET BY THE STATE. >> YES, THERE'S SO THERE'S CURRENT LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THE DISTRICT HAS ESTABLISHED A CITIZEN'S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT'S REFERRED TO AT LEAST TWO TIMES. WE'D LIKE TO CORRECT THAT TO SAY THE DISTRICT HAS ESTABLISHED A CITIZEN'S BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND THEN THERE IS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE THAT EXPLICITLY SAYS THE DISTRICT UTILIZES AN AUDITOR TO PERFORM ANNUAL BOND PERFORMANCE AND EXPENDITURE AUDITS TO 163 03:13:53.833 --> 03:14:31.743 ENSURE THE BOND FUNDS ARE EXPENDED AND CONFORMITY WITH THE AUTHORIZED PURPOSES AND QUOTE AUDIT OBJECTIVES SET BY THE CITIZENS OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. WE'D LIKE TO CHANGE THAT LANGUAGE TO AUDIT OBJECTION OF AUDIT OBJECTIVES REVIEWED BY THE CITIZEN'S BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. SO IT'S A PRETTY MINOR TECHNICAL TERM IF I CAN JUST WANTING TO CLARIFY AS I UNDERSTAND THE COMMITTEE NOT ONLY DOESN'T SET THE AUDIT OBJECTIVES, THEY'RE NOT CONSULTED AS TO THE AUDIT 164 03:14:31.743 --> 03:15:08.375 OBJECTIVES.

AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD IN RELATION TO THIS THAT THE CREDIT AGENCIES HAVE UPGRADED DISTRICTS CREDIT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS. >> WHAT IS IT DO TELL THANK YOU . MOVING TO ITEM H ONE BOARD OF EDUCATION MID-YEAR SELF EVALUATION AJ ARE YOU ON ZOOM? 166 03:15:48.190 --> 03:16:22.186 I AM. HELLO. I WILL PASS IT ON TO YOU TO FACILITATE THIS PORTION SO ACTUALLY BE RELATIVELY BRIEF THIS EVENING EACH OF YOU ALREADY COMPLETED YOUR HOMEWORK AND CONDUCTED YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL SELF EVALUATIONS. ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER AND TO A COMBINED DOCUMENT TO DESCRIBE A COLLECTIVE SCORE AND EACH OF YOU IDENTIFIED WHAT ARE SOME KEY THINGS THAT YOU WANT THAT YOU SEE IS DEFICITS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE THE BOARD WORK ON. BUT FORTUNATELY MOST OF THOSE 167 03:16:22.186 --> 03:16:52.617 ITEMS ARE ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR THAT YOU'VE JUST ADOPTED. AND SO JUST A THING ABOUT GOVERNANCE CALENDARS THE WAY THAT WE RECOMMEND THESE THINGS WORK IS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION TAKE A STAB AT DEVELOPING THEM ON YOUR BEHALF AND ADDING IN ITEMS THAT THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT. BUT THE ONCE YOU ADOPTED IT IS YOUR CALENDAR AND THE BOARD AND ONLY THE BOARD CAN GO BACK 168 03:16:52.617 --> 03:17:26.464 AND MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO IT AND SO THINK OF IT AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR GOVERNANCE WORK THAT WHEN YOU WANT TO CONDUCT MAJOR ACTIVITIES THAT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO SLOT THOSE IN. THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT ARE NOT WELL INDICATED ON THERE THAT YOU ARE MENTIONED IN YOUR SELF VALUATION AROUND COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT WORK IN PARTICULAR I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE EARLIER THAT GREATER TRANSPARENCY IS 169 03:17:26.464 --> 03:17:57.829 NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH GREATER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT AND SO I THINK YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED A SIGNIFICANT STEPS FORWARD AND THE TRANSPARENCY THAT SOME OF YOU MENTIONED IT BACK IN MARCH WHEN YOU DID THIS LAST I'LL BE WORKING WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP TO IDENTIFY WAYS TO LOOK AT HOW YOU CAN ADD MORE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT WORK INTO YOUR CALENDAR AS WELL. ONE OF THE OTHER MAJOR ISSUES THAT CAME UP IN YOUR SELF-EVALUATION THAT YOU ALL 170 03:17:57.829 --> 03:18:41.334 FILLED OUT WAS ITEMS AROUND LISTENING, ITEMS AROUND WHEN MAJOR DECISIONS WERE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED, ITEMS AROUND ALIGNMENT BETWEEN YOUR GOALS AND EL CAP C AND ITEMS AROUND USE OF STAFF TIME. ALL OF THESE ARE ITEMS THAT ARE EITHER ALREADY PRESENT ON YOUR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR OR THAT I WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU ALL AFTER THIS EVENING BE BRINGING BACK TO YOUR BOARD LEADERSHIP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SPECIFIC 171 03:18:42.939 --> 03:19:16.373 CHANGES YOU CAN MAKE TO YOUR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR TO TRY TO ADD IN SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND SO EXPECT THAT TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU. SO LET ME PAUSE THERE JUST AS A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE HOMEWORK YOU ALL DID BEFORE THIS MEETING AND THE IMPACT ON YOUR SELF EVALUATION OF THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR. WHAT QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS DID YOU ALL HAVE? AGAIN, THE NEXT STEP FOR ME IS TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL WITH A FEW MORE RECOMMENDED EDITS TO GOVERNANCE CALENDAR TO BE RESPONSIVE TO SOME OF THE 172 03:19:16.373 --> 03:19:58.817 CONCERNS THAT YOU LIFTED UP IN YOUR SELF EVALUATIONS. WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS COMMENTS CONCERNS DO YOU HAVE FOR ME REGARDING YOUR SELF VALUATION? ALL RIGHT COMMISSIONER RAY WHY HAS THE COMMENT HI A.J. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR BEING WITH YOU'RE WITH US TONIGHT AND FOR YOUR GUIDANCE. I HAVE A QUESTION AROUND THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE WITH REGARD TO OUR PUBG AND WE HAVE AS I'M 173 03:19:58.817 --> 03:20:32.384 SURE YOU RECALL, MOVED OUR OUR GOALS AND GUARDRAILS OUT FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE DISTRICTS INABILITY TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THIS IS YOU MADE OUR FIVE YEARS IN TO SIX YEARS BUT HAS ALSO MEANT THAT WE'VE FALLEN OUT OF THAT IS CORRECT COMPLIANCE IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT THAT WAY WITH OUR INTENT TO DO THE SORT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVERY THREE YEARS OR SO EVERY 36 MONTHS. SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU HAVE GUIDANCE OR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 174 03:20:32.384 --> 03:21:06.284 US ON JUST TO HELP US GET BACK ON TRACK WITH THAT AND WHAT TYPE OF DISTRICT SUPPORT YOU THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR US TO TO HAVE? >> THANK YOU. AND SO DEFINITELY THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT MULTIPLE AS YOU BROUGHT UP AT YOUR COMMENTS FROM YOUR SELF EVALUATIONS. THAT'S WHY I'M BRINGING IT UP IS JUST A CONSENSUS POINT THAT YOU ALL SURFACED AND I WILL BRING BACK SOME RECOMMENDATIONS 175 03:21:06.284 --> 03:21:37.917 FOR YOUR TO YOUR BOARD OFFICERS OTHER THAN I CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU ALL. YOU ALSO HAD SOME AMOUNT OF COMMITTEE WORK THAT SPEAKS TO THIS A LITTLE BIT AND SO I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SOME OF THAT GETS FOLDED IN. BUT YOU SPEAK TO THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS THAT WHEN YOU ALL MADE A DECISION TO PUSH BACK THE TIMELINE ON YOUR GOALS AND GUARDRAILS, YOU ALSO EFFECTIVELY PUSHED BACK THE TIMELINE ON PREET DETERMINE SET OF COMMUNITY LISTING THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE'LL JUST NEED TO 176 03:21:37.917 --> 03:22:09.548 THINK THROUGH WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S APPROPRIATE TO DO IN THE NEAR TERM RECOGNIZING THAT IN ANOTHER 12 MONTHS FROM NOW YOU'LL START A MUCH MORE THOROUGH ROUND OF LISTENING IN ADVANCE OF PREPARING FOR YOUR NEXT FIVE YEAR GOALS AND GUARDRAILS. BUT I'VE GOT SOME IDEAS OF HOW TO TRY TO THREAD THAT NEEDLE BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU ALL PROVIDED ON YOUR SELF EVALUATIONS AND SO AGAIN AND GIVE ME ABOUT A WEEK AND I SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THAT BACK TO 177 03:22:09.548 --> 03:22:40.179 YOU ARE THANK YOU. >> AND COMMISSIONER RAY JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE I THINK THE LAST GUIDANCE WE RECEIVED FROM AJ WAS THAT WE SHOULD VOTE ON UPDATED FIGURES BEFORE THE BUDGET CYCLE BEGINS THAT FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR OR YES FOR THAT FOLLOWING YEAR. AND SO YOU'LL SEE IN THE 2728 GOVERNANCE CALENDAR A FIRST AND SECOND READING IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER OF 2027 WHERE WE VOTE ON NEW V SO WE HAVE WE DO NEED TO BUILD THE PLAN TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND THAT 178 03:22:40.179 --> 03:23:13.484 IS A PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH OUR BOARD OFFICE. OTHER QUESTIONS OR REFLECTIONS YOU WILL THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN GROWTH AND EFFECTIVENESS AS A BODY AGAIN AND A LOT OF THIS IS PERFECTLY TIMED BECAUSE A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU ACTUALLY ARE ALREADY ANSWERED THROUGH YOUR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR. BUT OTHER QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, REFLECTIONS YOU HAVE BEFORE WE TRANSITION. >> HI, A.J. THIS IS LISA THINKS 179 03:23:15.224 --> 03:23:48.323 I HAD A HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A TECHNICAL QUESTION BUT SHE WOULD NOT BE THRILLED WITH BUT THE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION AND PART OF OUR SELF EVAL IN THE NON STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED WHERE WE GET I GIVE THEY GIVE US ZERO YEAH TO QUESTIONS ONE IS LIKE YOU GET AS YOU DON'T GET TO ADVANCE TO THE PRODUCING OUTCOMES IF THERE IS MORE THAN SIX BOARD AUTHORIZED PUBLIC MEETINGS AND SO I SEE THIS TENSION BETWEEN THIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT HAVING ALL THIS 180 03:23:48.323 --> 03:24:19.755 TRANSPARENCY AND ALL THESE BOARD MEETINGS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN SIX A MONTH BUT JUST SORT OF WONDERING IF WE WANT TO BE ENGAGING MORE. IT'S NOT ENGAGING IF WE WANT TO BE HAVING MORE PUBLIC MEETINGS WHERE WE CAN SHARE INFORMATION TRANSPARENTLY THAT SEEMS TO AT LEAST BASED ON THIS MATRIX NOT BE WHAT WHAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST. AND THEN THE OTHER THING THIS IS DEFINITELY A TECHNICAL QUESTION ANY MEETING OF THE BOARD THAT LASTED MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS AND SO I PUT THIS IN MY NOTES BUT DOES THAT 181 03:24:19.755 --> 03:24:53.550 INCLUDE CLOSED SESSION? >> NO PUBLIC PUBLIC. OKAY. THANK YOU SO TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT TRANSPARENCY, PART OF THE REASON THAT YOU'RE MONITORING REPORTS ARE INTENDED TO ONLY BE FIVE PAGES LONG IS BECAUSE A MONITORING REPORT IS JUST INTENDED TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW YOU'RE PERFORMING ON A PARTICULAR INDICATOR THAT IS 500 PAGES LONG HAS A LOT MORE INFORMATION IN IT BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT MORE TRANSPARENT. IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT LESS TRANSPARENT AND SO YOU CAN 182 03:24:53.550 --> 03:25:24.820 FLOOD THE ZONE IN WAYS THAT ACTUALLY MAKE A THING LESS TRANSPARENT WHILE PRETENDING THAT YOU'RE ENGAGING IN TRANSPARENCY THEATER. AND SO I CERTAINLY WOULD CAUTION YOU ALL THAT I THINK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE THIS BALANCE OF WHEN ARE WE HAVING SO MANY MEETINGS PER MONTH THAT WE HAVE EXHAUSTED THE COMMUNITY'S CAPACITY TO TRACK WHAT THEIR PUBLIC BODY IS ACTUALLY DOING. THAT'S WHEN YOU'VE CLEARLY GONE TOO FAR. 183 03:25:24.820 --> 03:25:59.408 AND SO WE PUT IN THE INSTRUMENT SOME OUTER LIMITS OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING BUT I WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE YOU TO TEST THOSE OUTER LIMITS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU STAY WELL AWAY FROM THEM AND AGAIN, JUST BECAUSE MEETING MORE THAN ONCE PER MONTH I COULD YOU COULD DEFINITELY INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TRANSPARENCY AND HAVE SPECIALIZED MEETINGS ABOUT SPECIALIZED TOPICS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE PROJECTED THAT OUT 24 MONTHS. I THINK THAT DOES MAKE SENSE BUT YOU GET BEYOND A CERTAIN 184 03:25:59.408 --> 03:26:36.712 POINT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY BEGIN TO EXHAUST YOUR COMMUNITY'S CAPACITY TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THEN THE NET EFFECT IS LESS TRANSPARENCY. SO THAT'S WHAT THE INSTRUMENT IS TRYING TO WARN YOU AGAINST. IT GIVES SOME PRETTY DISTANT BARRIERS. I WOULDN'T GET ANYWHERE NEAR THAT. THE OTHER PRACTICAL MATTER THAT YOU NEED TO RUN UP AGAINST IS I HAVE NO TRUST IN THIS BODY TO HAVE SHORT MEETINGS SO I HOPE THAT HAVING MORE MEETINGS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE SHORTER BUT I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS AND SO IF YOU FIND YOURSELF HAVING TEN 185 03:26:36.712 --> 03:27:07.409 MEETINGS A MONTH AND THEY CONTINUE TO BE AS VOLUMINOUS AS YOUR MEETINGS ARE NOW THEN I THINK YOU DEFINITELY HAVE FAILED THE TEST OF TRANSPARENCY AT THAT POINT. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO BE MINDFUL OF IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE OF THEM I WOULD TRY TO HAVE THEM MORE COMPACT. I THINK THE OTHER CHALLENGES IF FOLKS HAVE TO BE AT WORK IN THE MORNING AND CAN'T STAY UP UNTIL 10:00 AT NIGHT TO HANG OUT WITH Y'ALL, I THINK THAT ALSO FAILS THE TEST OF TRANSPARENCY YOU 186 03:27:07.409 --> 03:27:39.908 ARE CONDUCTING BUSINESS AT MIDNIGHT DOES NOT MEET ANY STANDARD OF TRANSPARENCY AND SO THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS I WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS THE AND THAT'S WHY IN THE SELF-EVALUATION INSTRUMENT IT ADDRESSES BOTH WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY, WHAT'S THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS BUT ALSO WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THEM BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE AT THE EXTREMES GET TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO HIDE THE BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC BY HAVING SO MUCH GOING ON THAT THEY CAN'T TRACK IT. THANK YOU, A.J. THE LAST THING 187 03:27:39.908 --> 03:28:11.730 I WILL SAY IS AS FOLKS MAY KNOW ,WE ARE TRYING AS PART OF OUR AD HOC ON PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND PROGRESS MONITORING WE ARE HOLDING OURSELVES TO DOING OUR ANNUAL VG ENGAGEMENTS. YOU DON'T SEE THAT ON THE GOVERNANCE CALENDAR, FOR EXAMPLE, BUT THAT WILL LIKELY BE A DATE BY WHICH ALL COMMISSIONERS WILL BE THERE AND SO WE STILL ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ACTUALLY DETERMINING THAT. SO IT'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF KIND OF THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE OF 188 03:28:11.730 --> 03:28:44.184 OUR GOVERNANCE CALENDAR. >> OKAY. IT IS 830 SO I'M GOING TO GO I'LL JUST SAY I FELT LIKE IN MY BOARDS OF EVALUATION THAT WE BACKSLID PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF POINTS THAT WE HAD AND CERTAINLY MANY OF THOSE ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO BOARD BEHAVIOR AND LIKE THE BOARD MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT I WILL ALSO SAY THAT I THINK THAT THE BOARD'S ABILITY 189 03:28:44.184 --> 03:29:16.744 TO BE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY A LACK OF STAFFING IN THE BOARD OFFICE. THERE ARE MANY OF THE WE DO NOT HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL STAFF AND THIS IS NOT OUR FULL TIME JOB AND WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING STAFF WORK AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD A MONITORING CALENDAR TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD GOVERNANCE TRAININGS WHICH ALSO NEGATIVELY COULD IMPACT OUR FIC MAT AUDITS ON GOVERNANCE TO THE EXTENT WE HAVE NOT HOSTED PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND LISTENING SESSIONS THAT IS DUE IN PART TO 190 03:29:17.885 --> 03:29:51.782 AN INABILITY TO FILL ALL PLANNED ROLES IN THE BOARD OFFICE. AND SO WITH THE VERY AGGRESSIVE PLANNING WE'VE BEEN DOING TOWARD MAJOR DECISIONS, I HOPE TO SEE THE BOARD OFFICE APPROPRIATELY STAFFED SO THAT THE BOARD CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THE RESOURCES THAT IT NEEDS IN ORDER TO MEET OUR COMMITMENTS TO BEING STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED AND TO ADEQUATELY ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY. >> YEAH, YOU WILL DEFINITELY 191 03:29:52.853 --> 03:30:27.954 HAVE BACKSLID SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE SPRING PROBABLY THE SINGLE BIGGEST SOURCE OF THAT IS JUST A DEARTH OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT BUT I THINK YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK WITH THAT. I HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY TO YOU ALL AND YOUR LEADERSHIP AND TO THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THE NATURE OF THE BOARD'S SUPPORT AT THIS MOMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS NORMATIVE ACROSS OTHER LARGE URBAN DISTRICTS AND THAT IT DEFINITELY MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT THAT 192 03:30:27.954 --> 03:30:58.385 HAS SLOWED DOWN YOUR ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE THAT ARE FAIRLY BASIC AND MUNDANE FOR OTHER LARGE URBAN SCHOOL SYSTEMS. AND SO I AGREE WITH YOU THAT SOLVING FOR THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU ALL TO ACCOMPLISH A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE THAT YOU'VE SADDLED YOURSELF WITH WITH YOUR NEW GOVERNANCE CALENDAR, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY JUST TO RESOLVE THAT AND THIS IS NOT NEW FOR YOU ALL 193 03:30:58.385 --> 03:31:30.170 THIS WAS TRUE UNDER THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND I WORKED WITH THEM AT THAT TIME TO PULL TOGETHER A PANEL OF SOME OF THE STRONGEST BOARD SUPPORT LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE NATION AND THEY HAD A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL. BUT THEN THERE WAS A LOT OF CHANGES AND THEN NOTHING CAME OF IT. BUT WE ARE VERY WILLING AGAIN TO PULL TOGETHER A PANEL OF THE FINEST BOARD SUPPORT TEAMS FROM ACROSS THE NATION. >> IF THAT WOULD BE OF BENEFIT TO YOU IT WOULD BE. THANK YOU. 194 03:31:30.170 --> 03:32:02.669 AND WE JUST HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH IN OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM MEETING SO I THINK HOPEFULLY STAFF WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. I'LL GET TO WORK ON THAT IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE. >> NOPE IT IS 834 SO I'M GOING TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT DISCUSSION I THINK YOU. MOVING TO ADAM H TO UPDATE ON PROGRESS ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OR TWO METRICS BEFORE I PASS IT OVER TO DR. SUE I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE GIVEN THE WHIRLWIND OF THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR LAST YEAR AND THE SUMMER WE DON'T HAVE REFRESHED SHORT TERM METRICS FOR OUR BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AND WE END UP 195 03:32:02.669 --> 03:32:33.700 MOM JAMIE HAS BEEN IN MY EAR ABOUT THIS AND WE WILL TODAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT ON HER PROGRESS TOWARDS OR TO METRICS. I DID ASK HER TO SPEAK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AND LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE GIVEN THAT IT'S THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. SO I WILL PASS IT OVER TO DR. SILVER. THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM AND I'LL KEEP MY REMARKS SHORT SO THAT WE CAN GO BACK AND FINISH OUR BUSINESS. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE AGAIN THAT IN LESS THAN A WEEK WE 196 03:32:33.700 --> 03:33:07.000 WILL BE WELCOMING WELCOMING BACK OUR STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS. I'VE SPENT THE LAST 20 MONTHS BUT DEFINITELY THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS SPEAKING WITH PARENTS, EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS, FRONT LINE AND CENTRAL OFFICE STAFF AND I CERTAINLY FEEL AND YOU CAN FEEL IT THAT THERE'S A SHIFT IN THE AIR AS WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. THERE IS DEFINITELY A RENEWED SENSE OF OPTIMISM AND HOPE AS WE RETURN TO WHAT MATTERS THE MOST TO US IN THIS DISTRICT 197 03:33:07.000 --> 03:33:39.100 HELPING EACH AND EVERY STUDENT LEARN AND THRIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY. I SHARED A VERY PERSONAL STORY TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I WELCOMED ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS BACK TO SCHOOL. AND I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY SHARE SOME OF WHAT I SAID AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME TO REALLY SPEAK TO MY WHY WHY AM I HERE? WHY AM I DOING THIS WORK? MY FAMILY ESCAPED VIETNAM AT THE END OF THE WAR WHEN I WAS BARELY THREE YEARS OLD. WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH GROWING UP. 198 03:33:39.100 --> 03:34:13.194 BUT MY PARENTS WERE VERY CLEAR EDUCATION WAS OUR WAY OUT WAS MINE AND MY BROTHER'S WAY OUT AND THAT WAY OUT DIDN'T COME FROM A SCHOOL SYSTEM. IT CAME FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INSIDE THAT SCHOOL SYSTEM THE ADULTS WHO SHOWED UP EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT I MY BROTHERS AND MY FAMILY HAD THAT IS WHY I'VE SPENT THE LAST 30 YEARS OF MY LIFE WORKING IN CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES AS IF 199 03:34:13.809 --> 03:34:46.909 UCSD'S ANTI-RACIST EQUITY DRIVEN COMMITMENT AREN'T JUST WORDS TO ME THEY ARE TRULY PERSONAL. SO WHEN I LOOKED AROUND THE ROOM AND HERE IN THE BOARDROOM WITH THE MICE THAT OUR STAFF MY CABINET THAT'S SITTING BACK THERE I SEE A VERY FEARLESS AND UNITED TEAM HERE TO FULFILL THAT PROMISE TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR FAMILIES THAT WE ARE GOING TO WORK EACH AND EVERY DAY REALLY, REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE PROMISE 200 03:34:46.909 --> 03:35:20.604 THAT WE MADE TO THEM EVERY POSITIVE OUTCOME THAT WE ACHIEVED LAST YEAR STARTED WITH THE PEOPLE ON THE FRONT LINES AND I WON'T PRETEND THAT LAST YEAR WAS EASY BECAUSE IT WASN'T. WE HAD TO TEACH OUR STRIKE. WE CHANGED TO NEW CURRICULUM AND ENGLISH AND IN MATH WE CREATED NEW MATH PLACEMENT POLICIES THAT REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT FAMILIES WANTED. WE PUT IN A NEW ETHNIC STUDIES CURRICULUM AND WE CUT 100 AND $14 MILLION FROM THE BUDGET 201 03:35:21.944 --> 03:35:57.179 THAT RESULTED IN REAL STAFFING REDUCTIONS. THAT'S A LOT FOR OUR SYSTEM TO CARRY. IT WAS A LOT TO ASK OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY TO CARRY. BUT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THAT WE DID WE DID PREVAIL. WE CAME TOGETHER AND WE HELD EACH OTHER UP BECAUSE THE CHILDREN MATTER. OUR STUDENTS MATTERED. THAT PROGRESS THAT WE MADE WAS MADE POSSIBLE NOT BECAUSE A SYSTEM CAME TOGETHER BUT BECAUSE 9000 INDIVIDUALS CAME 202 03:35:57.179 --> 03:36:30.790 TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THOSE STUDENTS TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES AND TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER. AND SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT WORK AND FOR CONTINUING TO SHOW UP AND FOR CONTINUING TO CARE BECAUSE WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER WE MAKE REAL PROGRESS. WE NOW HAVE A THREE YEAR BALANCED BUDGET WITH A HEALTHY RESERVE. WE HAVE MULTI-YEAR LABOR AGREEMENTS WITH ALL OF OUR 203 03:36:30.790 --> 03:37:05.470 LABOR PARTNERS REALLY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE BUT WE DID. WE HAVE NEW CURRICULA IN PLACE. WE HAVE STABLE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, ONES THAT WILL ACTUALLY PAY OUR STAFF ON TIME AND ACCURATELY. AND WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT STAFFING GAINS AND I'M GOING TO STEAL JAMES'S THUNDER BY SAYING THAT THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO START SCHOOL WITH 96% FILL RATES IN ALL CLASSROOM ROOMS. >> THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN WHERE WE STARTED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. 204 03:37:05.470 --> 03:37:36.290 WE ARE BUILDING OPERATIONS AND SYSTEMS THAT ARE REALLY MEETING THE DEMANDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND OF OUR FAMILIES AND OF OUR EMPLOYEES. >> WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO BUT I'M GOING TO PAUSE AND SHARE THAT PART OF THE WORK MEANS THAT I NEED TO HAVE A VERY STRONG AND ROBUST TEAM THAT SUPPORTS ME AND SO I AM 205 03:37:36.290 --> 03:38:14.268 REALLY GRATEFUL TO INTRODUCE TWO OF OUR NEWEST MEMBERS OF MY EXECUTIVE TEAM OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION SERVICES JOHN DAVIS JR. YES. WHOSE CAREER HAS SPANNED AND WHO WHOSE CAREER HAS TAKEN HIM FROM BALTIMORE TO D.C. TO BALTIMORE TO SAN FRANCISCO. YAY! AND BACK THERE OUR ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES JAMES HARRELL. DR. JAMES HARRELL WHO WAS THE FORMER CHIEF HUMAN CAPITAL OFFICER IN SAN ANTONIO AND BEFORE THAT WAS OVER 206 03:38:14.268 --> 03:38:46.433 IN OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND OF COURSE WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF BUSINESS SERVICES CHRIS BENITEZ. THANK YOU SO MUCH PARTICULARLY BECAUSE HE IS THE PERSON WHO BALANCED THE BALANCED BUDGET FOR ALL OF US. AND THEN OF COURSE MY CHIEF OF STAFF HARMONY PANG, WHO IS NOT NEW TO THE EXECUTIVE TEAM BUT NEW TO THIS TITLE. SO THANK YOU. AND THEN TO ROUND OUT MY EXECUTIVE TEAM WE HAVE OUR INTERIM GENERAL COUNSEL CALL ME 207 03:38:46.433 --> 03:39:19.400 VARSHA KHAN WHO IS PROVIDING A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR US AND SUPPORT FOR OUR LEGAL TEAM. THANK YOU. AND I KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT WE HAVE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO THE DISTRICT, WHO ARE NEW TO CERTAIN TITLES IN THE DISTRICT BUT WHO ARE NOT NEW TO THE CORE VALUES OF OUR DISTRICT. >> WE ARE STUDENT CENTERED. WE ARE FEARLESS. WE ARE UNITED. WE ARE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND DIVERSITY DRIVEN. THESE ARE THE CHOICES AHEAD OF US. 208 03:39:19.400 --> 03:39:50.159 AS COMMISSIONER GUPTA HAS ALREADY REFERENCED, WILL BE REALLY HARD THIS YEAR. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DOUBLE DOWN AND WORK VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING SOME TOUGH DECISIONS AROUND STUDENT ASSIGNMENT REDESIGN AND AROUND OUR SCHOOL PORTFOLIO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SOME FIERCE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO INCREASE OUR ENROLLMENT. WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IF WE CHANGED THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR SCHOOL ZONES? 209 03:39:51.632 --> 03:40:25.500 THESE ARE GOING TO BE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS BUT THEY'RE WORTH IT BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE WORTH IT. WE NEED TO HAVE A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IS GOING TO NOT ONLY REFLECT WHAT OUR STUDENTS WANT BUT ALSO LOOK LIKE WHAT OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LOOK LIKE. SO THESE ARE THE TWO VALUES THAT I ASKED OUR ADMINISTRATORS TO REALLY HOLD DEAR TO THEM. BEING FEARLESS, I NEED THEM TO BE VULNERABLE AND TO BE BRAVE. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT DATA THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD, THAT HURTS OUR HEART WHEN WE LOOK AT 210 03:40:25.500 --> 03:40:57.236 IT, WE GOT TO BE BRAVE. WE HAVE TO FACE THAT DATA HEAD ON AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO CHANGE THAT DATA. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO BE UNITED. WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE. WE HAVE TO DO THIS TOGETHER AS A TEAM, A TEAM OF LEADERS, A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR MOVING FORWARD. BEING FEARLESS AND UNITED TOGETHER WITH EVERYONE. >> THE BOARD HAS SET SOME VERY, 211 03:40:57.236 --> 03:41:30.536 VERY AUDACIOUS GOALS FOR US TO ACHIEVE. THEY ARE OUR NORTH STAR THIRD GRADE READING, EIGHTH GRADE MATH COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIRD GRADERS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING OUR CURRENT THIRD GRADE STUDENTS. I'M SORRY WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THIRD GRADE LITERACY RATES AT 70 PERCENT BY 2027. WE'RE TRYING TO REACH 65% OF OUR EIGHTH GRADERS BEING PROFICIENT IN MATH BY 2027. 212 03:41:30.536 --> 03:42:02.702 AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO 70% OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS BEING COLLEGE AND CAREER READY BY 2027. THOSE ARE REALLY BOLD AND AUDACIOUS GOALS. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE'RE DOING WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. >> ALREADY THIS PAST YEAR WE ARE SEEING A 2% INCREASE IN THIRD GRADE LITERACY RATES. THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE SHIFTING THE TIDES OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN BEFORE. AND FOR EIGHTH GRADE MATH WE 213 03:42:02.702 --> 03:42:35.534 ARE SEEING ALMOST A 4% INCREASE IN EIGHTH GRADE MATH PROFICIENCY. THAT MEANS THAT IT'S WORKING. WE ARE FOCUSING OUR ENERGIES. WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR EDUCATORS. WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOL LEADERS TO PROVIDE THAT COMPREHENSIVE WARM BEAR HUG THAT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES NEED. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE DONE. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT WE ARE ENOUGH. SORRY FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. 214 03:42:35.534 --> 03:43:08.115 WE STILL NEED TO FACE THE FACT THAT MANY OF OUR VOCAL STUDENTS ARE NOT INSPIRING AND SEEING THE SAME GROWTH AND THE SAME OUTCOMES AS THE REST OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. AND I HAVE CHALLENGED OUR SITE LEADERS AND I WILL CHALLENGE ALL OF US HERE TO CONTINUE TO STAY FOCUSED. I'M MOVING THE NEEDLE FOR OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS, OUR LATIN STUDENTS, OUR PACIFIC ISLANDER STUDENTS AND OUR HOMELESS STUDENTS AND FOSTER CARE STUDENTS AND STUDENTS IN SPECIAL ED BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE STUDENTS WHO REALLY NEED 215 03:43:08.115 --> 03:43:41.150 OUR ATTENTION AND OUR FOCUS. >> SO FOR ALL OF THAT I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE THE BIG GOAL AND THE BIG WORK THE HEAVY LIFT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING THIS COMING YEAR. DATA DOESN'T JUST CHANGE A DISTRICT ALONE. PEOPLE DO. AND THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO GO REALLY DEEP ON BUILDING OUR PEOPLE, ON SUPPORTING OUR EDUCATORS, ON SUPPORTING OUR SITE LEADERS SO THAT WE CAN TRULY OWN THE VISION, VALUES, 216 03:43:41.150 --> 03:44:12.176 GOALS AND GUARDRAILS THAT THIS BOARD HAS SET UP FOR US. IT IS GOING TO BE HARD AND I KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE MANY, MANY TIMES WHERE WE WILL STUMBLE ALONG THIS PATH. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I KNOW IT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES DESERVE IT. SO I'M REALLY PROUD TO BE DOING THIS WITH THIS BOARD AND WITH OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. SO THANK YOU. 217 03:44:14.916 --> 03:44:50.850 THANK YOU, ANNIE. COMMISSIONER COMMISSION COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONER RAY HEY, I WILL ALSO TRY TO KEEP THIS RELATIVELY SHORT BUT I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FIRST FOR THIS INFORMATION AND IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING TO SEE PROGRESS WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVING HIGHER STUDENT OUTCOMES. THAT'S FOR THEM. YOU MENTIONED SOME NUMBERS OR INCREASES IN THIRD GRADE 218 03:44:50.850 --> 03:45:22.117 LITERACY RATES AND EIGHTH GRADE MATH RATES. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT PROGRESS . AND I AM WONDERING MY FIRST QUESTION RELATES TO WHERE FOLKS CAN FIND THAT DATA. IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH PEOPLE . AND ALSO YOU HAD REFERENCED TRYING TO REACH GOALS BY 2027 WHICH WOULD BE FANTASTIC. BUT I THINK UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE THAT OUR EXTENSION WAS TO 2028. SO WE EXTEND THE GOALS ONE YEAR, RIGHT? 219 03:45:22.117 --> 03:45:57.622 SO IN THAT SENSE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LONGER RUNWAY AND MY SECOND MY SECOND QUESTION IS AROUND TRANSPARENCY. >> AND THAT IS THE BOARD GOOD WHILE BACK SUCH SHORT TERM METRICS. WE DID THAT PUBLICLY AND THEY WERE AGENDAS PUBLICLY. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE THE THE LETTER OR MEMO THAT YOU WROTE TO US. IT PROVIDES A LOT OF USEFUL INFORMATION AND HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE TREMENDOUSLY POSITIVE 220 03:45:57.622 --> 03:46:28.786 THINGS THAT THE DISTRICT HAS ACHIEVED. AND I AM VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON. BUT IN TERMS OF LIKE PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY AND ACTUALLY RESPONDING TO THE METRICS I HAD ASKED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON EACH OF THE AGREED METRICS AND WE RECEIVED THAT IN A SENSE. BUT THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE INCLUDED IN THE CLOSED SESSION AGENDA ITEM. AND SINCE THESE ARE PUBLIC METRICS AND IT WAS PUBLICLY AGENDA ISED, I DO FIND THAT TROUBLING. 221 03:46:28.786 --> 03:47:00.477 I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WAS ONLY PROVIDED IN CLOSED SESSION MATERIALS AND NOT PROVIDED FOR THE PUBLIC. SO IF YOU COULD RESPOND TO THAT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT AND I HOPE THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE RESPONSES TO I MEAN ON ALL THE SHORT TERM METRICS IN PUBLIC. THANK YOU. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE THE SHORT TERM METRICS PUBLICLY. I WAS NOT DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SAYS THAT WE WERE GOING TO 222 03:47:01.850 --> 03:47:37.321 SHARE THE SHORT TERM METRICS. >> IT ACTUALLY SAYS TO MY QUESTION ABOUT PROVIDING AN UPDATE IT SAYS THE REQUESTED INFORMATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL CLOSED SESSION AGENDA ITEM B SEVEN YEAH. >> SO I CAN JUST VERY QUICKLY JUST SHARE THAT THERE WERE THERE WERE SEVERAL THERE WERE THREE MAJOR AREAS IN THE SHORT TERM METRIC ONE WAS BUDGET AND I JUST SHARED THAT WE HAVE NOW A THREE YEAR BALANCED BUDGET WITH A VERY HEALTHY RESERVE AND A PART OF THE THREE YEAR BUDGET HAS A GREATER SENSE OF STABILITY BECAUSE WE HAVE 223 03:47:37.321 --> 03:48:13.230 MULTI-YEAR LABOR CONTRACTS WITH ALL OF OUR LABORS. THE OTHER ONE WAS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES. AND THE MAIN POINT AND THE THE MAIN TARGETS OF OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WAS THE TRANSITION FROM THE PREVIOUS AND ENTERPRISE SYSTEM WHICH IS OUR PAYROLL SYSTEM THE EMPOWER SYSTEM TO A NEW SYSTEM WHICH IS FRONT LINE AND BY GROVER. AND WE HAVE NOW SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED TO FRONT LINE AND BY GROVER AND I BELIEVE THE LAST ONE STAFF STAFFING THE LAST ONE WAS STAFFING. IN TERMS OF MY EXECUTIVE THE 224 03:48:13.230 --> 03:48:48.400 EXECUTIVE MY EXECUTIVE CABINET . AND I AM REALLY PROUD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A FULL EXECUTIVE CABINET RIGHT NOW. >> IS THERE IS THERE ANY REASON WHY IT WAS PUT IN THE CLOSED SESSION AGENDA ITEM THEN RATHER THAN. I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WHY THAT WAS THE ANSWER. CERTAIN PERSONNEL DOCUMENTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL UNDER THE LAW WITH ITEMS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERSONNEL FILE OR NOT PUBLIC. 225 03:48:48.400 --> 03:49:19.836 I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. I JUST IN TERMS OF LIKE IT'S LITERALLY PUBLIC WHAT OUR SHORT TERM METRICS ARE THERE'S LIKE A LIST AND A TABLE. SO I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WASN'T A RESPONSE ON EACH OF THOSE. I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL FILES BUT OKAY, I CAN SHARE A PUBLIC VERSION. SO IF THIS IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS TO HAVE A PUBLIC VERSION OF THE OF THE SHORT TERM METRIC I COULD DEFINITELY DO THAT BUT I MEAN I WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE THAT I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S MOST RESPONSIVE FOR AN UPDATE ON IT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF NOBODY HAS AN OBJECTION. 226 03:49:19.836 --> 03:49:51.000 SORRY. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION HAD BEEN ABOUT THE WHERE FOLKS CAN FIND THE DATA FOR THE THE PROGRESS THAT YOU HAD SHARED ABOUT THE LITERACY AND MATH RATES. >> I MEAN I DON'T KNOW IF THIS SATISFIES WHAT YOU'RE ASKING BUT WE WILL SHOW IT DURING OUR PROGRESS MONITORING. RIGHT? SO THE FIRST ONE IS IN TWO WEEKS AND THEN THE MATH ONE WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SATISFYING AS QUICKLY AS YOU WOULD WANT IF I'M CATCHING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING 227 03:49:51.000 --> 03:50:28.104 I WOULD LOVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. >> MONITORING MEETINGS IS THERE ANY REASON WE COULDN'T LET PEOPLE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THAT BEFOREHAND? >> I MEAN I DON'T THINK THEY'RE PUBLICLY RELEASED BY THE STATE UNTIL LATER BUT THERE IS SOME INFORMATION WE CAN SHARE. SO WHEN WE HAVE THIS HIGH LEVEL DATA WE CAN SHARE THAT. BUT THE DEPTH I DON'T THINK WE'RE ABLE TO YET. YEAH, HERE COMES JOSH, HE'LL KNOW BETTER. >> THANK YOU. YEAH, THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. >> THE DATA ISN'T FINAL AND RELEASED BY THE STATE UNTIL OCTOBER AND SO WHAT WE 228 03:50:28.104 --> 03:50:58.535 TYPICALLY SHARE AROUND THE OCTOBER SPACE IS THE FULL RELEASE OF THE SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENTS DATA. ONCE THEY'RE VALIDATED AND CROSS-CHECKED BY THE STATE . WE STARTED THE PRACTICE GIVEN THE GOALS AND THE GUARDRAILS OF RELEASING JUST THE GOAL LEVEL DATA EVEN PRELIMINARY AS IT WAS DURING THAT TIME OF PRESENTATION. SO LAST YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SEPTEMBER SPACE WHEN WE DID GOALS ONE, TWO AND THREE AT THE SAME TIME AT THE SAME TIME. SO VERY SIMILARLY WILL USE THE SAME APPROACH OF BEING ABLE TO 229 03:50:58.535 --> 03:51:44.470 SHARE THAT DATA DURING THOSE PROGRESS MONITORING SESSIONS FOR THE GOAL LEVEL DATA. THANK YOU. YEAH. SO I JUST I'M VERY EXCITED THAT THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES WHILE WE HAVE A PERMANENT DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES WELCOME MR. DAVIS. IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU. THERE ARE A FEW POSITIONS THAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT AND WELCOME TO INTERIM GENERAL COUNSEL AS WELL. I MEAN I'M YOU KNOW, I AM CURIOUS ABOUT LET'S SAY FOUR 230 03:51:44.470 --> 03:52:18.140 POSITIONS AND IN TOTAL AND IT'S ONE WOULD BE ADDRESSED TO BOARD LEADERSHIP AND THE SUPERINTENDENT WHICH IS FOR OUR PERMANENT GENERAL COUNSEL IS YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THAT? SECOND WOULD BE TO MR. DAVIS I KNOW THERE ARE A COUPLE OF POSITIONS IN SENIOR LEADERSHIP WITHIN LEAD IF THERE'S AGAIN I RECOGNIZE THESE ARE HUMAN RESOURCE ISSUES BUT IF GENERALLY YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT AND THEN THE THIRD WOULD BE TO THE SAYING IF IF THERE'S ANYTHING REGARDING COMMUNICATION ESPECIALLY GIVEN 231 03:52:18.140 --> 03:52:52.976 THAT YOU KNOW, AS YOU HEARD FROM EARLIER IN THE CONVERSATION, ONE OF THE KEY CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE WE'RE CONTENDING WITH BOTH ON THE BOARD AS WELL AS STAFF SIDE HAS BEEN AROUND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. SO IF THERE ARE ANY UPDATES THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. >> YES. AND LOOK AT THIS OUR ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF OURS ON THEIR WAY UP TO THE MIKE AND WELCOME EXCITED I HAVE GOOD NEWS SO THIS IS GREAT. SO WE HAVE STARTED TO A PROCESS 232 03:52:54.517 --> 03:53:24.880 WITH AN EXTERNAL VENDOR TO SUPPORT OUR GENERAL COUNSEL SEARCH. THEY HAVE BEEN THEY WERE VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER VENDORS WHICH WAS GREAT AND THEY HAVE A REALLY STRONG STRATEGY FOR LEGAL RECRUITMENT. THEY HAVE A DEPTH OF EXPERTISE THAT IT WAS REALLY ALIGNED TO THAT MARKET. SO VERY EXCITED FOR THEM TO BE JOINING THE CONTRACT IS STILL WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH THROUGH BUT WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THEM TO BE JOINING US SOON FOR THAT AND WE'LL BE CONNECTING WITH THE BOARD ON HOW TO SUPPORT THE 233 03:53:24.880 --> 03:53:57.174 GENERAL GENERAL COUNSEL SEARCH THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS. WE HAVE A VERY STRONG POOL AND MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SEAT SO WE'RE VERY THRILLED BY THAT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE STARTING THE INTERVIEWS. YOUNG MAN IS REACHING OUT TO FOLKS TOMORROW WHICH HE HAS PROMISED TO ME PRIOR TO THIS AND NOW THERE'S A PUBLIC COMMITMENT SO THERE'S EXTRA PRESSURE FOR HER TO DO THAT. SO WE'RE EXCITED FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. THE DIRECTOR OF BOARD AFFAIRS HAS ACCEPTED THE OFFER 234 03:53:58.381 --> 03:54:29.354 AND WILL BE JOINING SOON. AND THEN THE LEAD APPOINTMENTS SPEAK TO THAT. >> GREAT. YEP. SO COMING ON BOARD WITH TWO ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS THEY'RE JUST TIMING WISE LEFT. I'LL BE HONEST I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE JUST QUICKLY MAKING APPOINTMENTS FOR SUCH HIGH LEVEL POSITIONS A COMPANY WITH THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PRINCIPAL SUPERVISORS AND THEIR CASELOADS 20 TWO ON THE ELEMENTARY AND RIGHT ON THE 235 03:54:29.354 --> 03:55:00.917 HIGH SCHOOL AND THERE'S YOU KNOW LIKE 14 FOR ONE PERSON THIS IS OUT OF WHACK TO WHAT BEST PRACTICES IS ACROSS THE NATION ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT RESEARCH FROM WIRELESS THEY'LL USUALLY TALK ABOUT BETWEEN 12 AND 15 SCHOOLS IS WHAT A PRINCIPAL SUPERVISOR OR READS SHOULD HAVE. AND SO SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS I CHANGE INTO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SO WE WOULD HAVE MORE OF THEM AND THAT CASELOAD WOULD BE MORE MANAGEABLE IN THE END. RIGHT? THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ARE 236 03:55:01.921 --> 03:55:33.180 SUPER IMPORTANT TO PRINCIPALS AND IF YOU'VE GOT 22 SCHOOLS YOU CAN'T KNOW YOUR SCHOOLS THE WAY THAT YOU REALLY SHOULD, RIGHT? I EXPECT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS TO KNOW TEACHERS TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY OVER TIME. I THINK THE OTHER POSITIVE IS WE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD CANDIDATES FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO PROMOTE FROM WITHIN. SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT AT THREE DIFFERENT AND THREE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND IN ONE SITUATIONS WE TOOK SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND SO I THINK THAT COMBINATION IS GOING TO BE REALLY STRONG COMING INTO THE 237 03:55:33.180 --> 03:56:06.118 YEAR. >> I'M GOING TO MANAGE A LOT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL WORK DIRECTLY AND I'VE ASKED DR. STEINER TO TAKE ON PRESCHOOL ALL THE WAY THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE AND SO WE'RE SHARING SOME OF THOSE LEAD RESPONSIBILITIES. AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY THAT GIVES ME A BETTER KIND OF PROXIMITY TO SOME SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND WHILE I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT TAKING THOSE ON WHILE ALSO HAVING THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO BE QUITE HONEST GETTING TO KNOW THE PRINCIPALS IS SUPER IMPORTANT TO ME 238 03:56:06.118 --> 03:56:36.482 AND YOU KNOW I'VE ALREADY STARTED DOING THAT FROM YOU KNOW WHEN WE HAD OUR ALL IN OUR SITE LEADER INSTITUTE BUT YOU KNOW I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT STARTING ON THE FIRST DAY BY GOING THROUGH SCHOOL. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING VERY PROXIMATE WITH OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR PRINCIPALS AND THAT'S THE STRUCTURE WE'RE GOING TO ROLL WITH RIGHT NOW. IT MIGHT CHANGE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. WE MIGHT HAVE NEED ANOTHER ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT BUT THE TIMING AND THE NEED FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS IS WHAT LED US TO THIS SPOT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARITY 239 03:56:36.482 --> 03:57:10.383 AND KIND OF THE STRATEGY AND THE INTENTION BEHIND YOUR PLANS FOR STRUCTURING THAT. >> THAT'S VERY CLEAR. THANK YOU. CAN I ALSO SHARE THAT WE HAVE UPDATED OUR ORG CHART ON THE WEBSITE AND SO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND OF COURSE COMMISSIONERS CAN GO ON OUR WEBSITE TO SEE IT. >> THANK YOU. I KNOW IT'S ALMOST 9:00. I KNOW I WAS GOING TO MOVE IT OVER TO YOU, COMMISSIONER FISHER BUT STUDENT DELEGATES ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU WANT TO ASK AND GET IN BEFORE WE DISMISS? OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST MEETING. YES. >> WE'LL SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS 240 03:57:10.383 --> 03:57:46.833 NEXT WEEK AT SCHOOL. OH YEAH. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK AT SCHOOL. SORRY. DON'T FORGET SCHOOL. YES. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER FISHER, THANK YOU FOR THIS. I JUST IN RESPONSE TO THE CONCERN ABOUT MAKING THE METRICS PUBLIC, I'M WONDERING BECAUSE IT IS A PERSONNEL DOC I MEAN AS MUCH OF IT AS WE CAN MAKE PUBLIC I WANT TO BUT I JUST WANT TO VERIFY THAT THERE AREN'T GOING TO BE ANY IMPLICATIONS FIRST SO COULD WE CHECK WITH LEGAL COUNSEL BEFORE WE MAKE THINGS FULLY PUBLIC PLEASE? OKAY. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST 241 03:57:46.838 --> 03:58:23.334 ABOUT DASHBOARD SOME OF THIS AND HAVING SOME MORE DATA WHERE WHERE DO WE STAND ON THAT? AND I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION . YES, WE ARE MY FAVORITE THING TO DO ADMIRE AND ACQUIRE. SO WE ARE ADMIRING A LOT OF OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS DASHBOARDS AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN REPLICATE SOME OF THAT IN-HOUSE. I KNOW THAT JAMES ALREADY HAS A DASHBOARD AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW WE CAN PUT TOGETHER SOME OF OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES 242 03:58:23.941 --> 03:58:55.306 DASHBOARD WHICH I KNOW THAT RPA ALREADY HAS BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT PUBLIC FACING SO WE'RE WORKING YES, I KNOW IT'S IT'S A LOT BUT I THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME AND WE NEED TO GET THAT OUT SO THAT FAMILIES CAN HAVE ACCESS TO REAL TIME DATA. >> I MEAN TO THE POINT OF TRANSPARENT COMMUNITY AND REAL ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS AJ MENTIONED, YOU ALSO SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME TO A BOARD MEETING TO GET THE DATA IN THE CONTEXT. 243 03:58:55.306 --> 03:59:26.737 SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT . AND TO FOLLOW UP ON SOME OF THE REPORTS, I APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING HERE BECAUSE I THINK THE CHALLENGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW BOARD DOCS NAVIGATING BOARD DOCS TO FIND SOME OF THESE PRESENTATIONS OR TO FIND THIS IS A BEAST AND I DON'T THINK IT'S IT'S NOT FAIR AND IT'S COMPLETELY HONEST USABLE AND INEQUITABLE TO IT'S NOT FAIR TO EXPECT THAT COMMUNITY SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO BOARD DOCS PULL A Q&A DOC CLICK THREE ITEMS DOWN IN ORDER TO GET TO 244 03:59:26.737 --> 04:00:00.438 THE RIGHT DATA. WE ABSOLUTELY NEED A BETTER WAY MORE APPENDICES WHATEVER BUT I ENCOURAGE YOU SUPERINTENDENT AND YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM THIS YEAR TO AS MUCH AS HAVING THE WE NEED TO DO IT FOR COMPLIANCE HAVING THINGS ON BOARD DOCS THE THERE'S GOT TO BE BETTER WAYS TO MAKE THIS DATA MUCH MORE APPROACHABLE FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL IN OTHER SECTIONS OF THE WEBSITE AT SCHOOL SITES WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. SO I THINK REALLY THAT IS THINKING ABOUT HOW WE SHARE 245 04:00:00.438 --> 04:00:34.813 THIS INFORMATION OUT IN AN ACCESSIBLE WAY IS IS TOP OF MIND FOR ME THIS YEAR AND I'LL STOP THERE WITH A MINUTE LEFT. THANK YOU. THAT IS HELPFUL INPUT FOR FUTURE METRICS IF THERE ARE OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT METRICS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL JUST NOT TRYING TO CALL ANYONE OUT JUST TRYING TO DRAW IN THE CONVERSATION AND I WILL REMIND COMMISSIONERS WE DO HAVE SOME ITEMS OUTSTANDING FOR FOR CLOSED SESSION THAT WE CAN ONLY GET TO IF WE STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. YES, COMMISSIONER YOU BEST PRESENT YOU LIKE SAY I'M I WILL 246 04:00:34.813 --> 04:01:06.978 SAY I'M I'M EXCITED TO BE HOPEFULLY SUNSETTING THIS SET OF SHORT TERM METRICS A YEAR A YEAR AFTER THEY WERE INITIALLY SUPPOSED TO SUNSET. BUT WE HAD A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US MAYBE A BIGGER HOLE TO DIG OUT OF THAN WE REALIZED. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR AN UPDATE JUST SPECIFICALLY TO THE SHORT TERM METRICS THAT WERE ADOPTED. ONE IS ONE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT METRICS THAT YOU 247 04:01:06.978 --> 04:01:38.609 COMMITTED TO IS PROVIDING TRAINING FOR STAFF THAT FURTHER IMPLEMENTS OUR STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE MODEL AND THAT SEEMED TO COME UP LAST BUDGET SEASON AROUND CONCERNS AROUND THE EL CAP AND YOU KNOW THE CROSSWALK ABOUT HOW THE BUDGET WAS ACTUALLY MAKING INVESTMENTS TOWARD MEETING OUR LITERACY AND MATH GOALS IN PARTICULAR. SO I WANTED TO JUST ASK FOR AN UPDATE ON IT SEEMED TO ME THAT 248 04:01:38.609 --> 04:02:10.907 THE BUDGET PROCESS MAYBE REVEALED THAT THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE MODEL ESPECIALLY AROUND BUDGETING AND THINGS LIKE THAT HAD NOT BEEN FULLY INTERNALIZED IZED BY DISTRICT STAFF. AND SO I WANTED TO ASK WHAT YOUR PLAN AFTER THAT WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL IN ALIGNMENT ABOUT WHAT HOW WE EXPECT OUR BUDGET TO BE A LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT OF OUR VALUES AND OUR GOALS FOR STUDENTS. >> THANK YOU. 249 04:02:11.576 --> 04:02:42.474 HEALING FOR THAT QUESTION AND I WILL ALSO SAY THAT I WAS EQUALLY SURPRISED THAT WE THAT A LOT OF OUR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUS GOVERNANCE WAS AND SOME OF OUR PRINCIPALS DIDN'T KNOW AND SOME OF OUR KEY CENTRAL OFFICE FOLKS DID NOT EVEN WE'RE NOT EVEN AWARE AND I THINK IT WAS REALLY ILLUMINATING FOR ME THAT WE HAVE A LOT TO DO. 250 04:02:42.474 --> 04:03:16.560 WE HAVE A LOT OF TRAINING TO DO AND WE STARTED LAST YEAR. WE HAVE TO DO MORE WHICH IS WHY THIS YEAR WHEN WE STARTED THE ALL ADMIN INSTITUTE THE FIRST THING WE STARTED WITH WAS WE ENGAGING OUR ADMINISTRATORS IN THE VISION VALUES GOALS AND GUARDRAILS AND HELPING SOME OF OUR SITE LEADERS SEE HOW THEIR COLLEAGUES ARE, WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE TOWARDS THE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND WE HAVE TO DO MORE OF THAT AND I KNOW WITH JOHN'S HELP WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING 251 04:03:16.560 --> 04:03:51.240 MORE OF THAT TOO BECAUSE OF THE STUFF THAT HE JUST OF THE THINGS THAT HE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS TO OUR ADMINISTRATORS, BRINGING ON ADDITIONAL STAFF SO THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE LEARNING BETTER LEARNING WALKS AND AND REALLY PARTNERING WITH RPA AND CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION BY ALL OF THOSE THINGS ALL CIRCLE AROUND HOW DO WE FULLY IMPLEMENT THE VISION THOUGH? HOW DO WE FULLY IMPLEMENT THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW DO WE GET TO 252 04:03:51.240 --> 04:04:25.259 ACHIEVE THE VISION VALUES, GOALS AND GUARDRAILS AND ARE WE GOING TO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AS PART OF THE BUDGETING PROCESS THIS YEAR TO ABSOLUTELY YES. WE'RE STARTING ACTUALLY I JUST HEARD I HEARD A CONVERSATION I OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MY EXECUTIVE TEAM HERE ABOUT STARTING THE BUDGETING PROCESS EVEN EARLIER LIKE I'M HEARING SOMETHING LIKE SEPTEMBER OCTOBER YEAR WHICH IS MUCH, MUCH EARLIER THAN THIS DISTRICT HAS EVER EXPERIENCED 253 04:04:25.259 --> 04:05:01.955 BUDGETING BEFORE THINGS. AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS AROUND THE METRIC AROUND ESTABLISHING STABLE AND EFFECTIVE CABINET AND LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU COMMITTED TO IS PLANNING FOR HOW MAJOR INITIATIVES WILL BE OWNED AND MANAGED BY DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. AND SO NOW WITH OUR NEW GOVERNANCE CALENDAR THAT LAYS OUT THE MAJOR DECISIONS KIND OF WORKFLOW THAT WE CAN SEE, COULD YOU SHARE HOW THOSE ARE GOING 254 04:05:02.290 --> 04:05:32.860 TO BE OWNED AND MANAGED BY YOUR STAFF? YEAH. >> THANK YOU. SO THE MASTER CALENDAR AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP ALL THE CATS ON TRACK WILL BE OUR HEAD OF STAFF. SO HOW IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP ALL OF THIS TRAIN MOVING? I HAVE ASKED JOHN DAVIS TO INCH TO BE THE BIG ARE THE THE MAIN RESPONSIBLE PERSON OVER PROGRESS MONITORING WORK FOR US AS PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES 255 04:05:32.860 --> 04:06:14.503 TO GOALS 123 AND GUARDRAILS TO TWO AND THREE THE CURRICULUM GUARDRAILS AND THE WHOLE CHILD GUARDRAILS AND AND OF COURSE CHRIS MOUNT BENITEZ OUR SOUP OF OPERATION BUSINESS SERVICES WILL BE THE LEAD OVER GUARDRAILS IS FOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO GUARDRAILS ONE AND FIVE AND I WAS MORE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT OUR MAJOR DECISIONS AROUND ENROLLMENT POLICY AND SCHOOL PORTFOLIO. 256 04:06:17.643 --> 04:06:55.811 OH, I'M SORRY. YES. SO THAT I MEAN AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S GOING TO BE ULTIMATELY MYSELF WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING A DIRECTOR OF A DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL PLANNING LEADER WHO'S GOING TO HELP HOLD THAT WORK.
