AND THAT IS VALERIE HORVATH. LEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME. YOUR CONNECTION TO LAKE
WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICTS? >> THANK YOU.
>> MY NAME IS VALERIE HORVATH. AND I AM A PARENT.
TWO CHILDREN. WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.
[INDISCERNIBLE] AND ARE NOW GOING ON TO
SECONDARY EDUCATION. >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE DONE IT. I HAVE A FEW NOTES.
HELP ME THROUGH THIS. FIRST SEMESTER OF JUNIOR YEAR.
MY DAUGHTER DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE WAS ON HONOR ROLL STUDENT. HE WAS INVOLVED IN ATHLETICS.
SHE WAS HOMECOMING PRINCESS. AND SHE ALSO HAD MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE.
THE SEVERITY OF. THERE WERE SIGNS WE HAD MET AND THIS DIDN'T COME ABOUT THEY WANT.
OF HER JUNIOR YEAR. IT STARTED AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE HAVE NO IDEA THAT THE STOMACHACHES, BUT THE HEADACHES SHE HAD BEEN HAVING WERE IN FACT ANXIETY. JUST PRESENTS DIFFERENTLY IN ELEMENTARY AGED KIDS. THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR NEVER TALK TO US. TEACHERS NEVER TALK TO US.
IN THIS IS NOT A SLED AND THEM. I UNDERSTAND THE EDUCATION AND THE STIGMATIZATION IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO. THERE WERE NO SAFETY NET FOR HER AND HER MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN HER HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN SHE CRASHED AND BURNED. SHE HAD BEEN CRYING IN CLASS WITH HER TEACHERS. MISSING HOMEWORK.
NO ONE, NOT TEACHER HAD FLAGGED IT WITH HER COUNSELOR.
AND KNEW SHE WAS STRUGGLING AND SO, WHEN SHE WAS SO BEHIND IN ASSIGNMENTS THAT SHE DIDN'T SEE THAT THERE WAS A WAY OUT ÃTO TALK TO HER COUNSELOR. FOR US, WE WERE LUCKY.
WE HAD THE ONLY COUNSELOR THE TIME THAT HAD ANY MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING. WE HAD TAYLOR ROLL AND SHE ISN'T LM. FEET I GET THE ACCURATE AND CORRECT. SHE WAS ABLE TO NOT SUPPORT US WITH HER MENTAL HEALTH, BUT ABLE TO STATE YOU NEED TO TAKE TIME. UNIQUE TO NOT WORRY ABOUT CLASSES. WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT TOGETHER. AND SHE HELPED US PUT CLIENT PLAN TOGETHER. THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF INFLECTIONS POINTS IF I LOOK BACK AT OUR TERMS WITH MENTAL HEALTH, THERE WERE A LOT OF PLACES WHERE A KEY SUPPORT WOULD'VE REALLY HELPED. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
PARENTS, CHILDREN, KNOWING THAT HOW ANXIETY FILLS IN OUR BODIES. WAS THAT EMOTION MIGHT BE.
HOW DEPRESSION BUILDS IN YOUR BODY.
INTEGRATED IN MINDFULNESS. IN INTEGRATED IN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SKILLS. SO THE EMOTIONS ARE THIS NOT THIS BIG SCARY THING. THE KIDS FEEL ANXIETY.
>> THEIR INFLECTION POINTS IN HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.
LIKE SELF ASSESSMENT. ONE THING SHE SAID THAT WOULD HAS ALWAYS STUCK WITH ME IS THAT SHE DID NOT NOW.
THAT SHE WAS ANXIOUS OR DEPRESSED.
BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY.
IF YOU FEEL AND THINK ABOUT THAT, THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
SOME SCREENINGS ARE A WAY IN WHICH CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
[00:10:01]
CAN IDENTIFY OR HAVE IDENTIFIED FOR THE THAT WRAPS THEY ARE NOT FEELING WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS FILLED OR PERHAPS COULD BE FEELING DIFFERENTLY. I KNOW THAT TEACHERS EXIST INFLECTION POINT WITH THE TEACHERS DID NOT EVER FLY HER FOR COUNSELOR JUST AS TEACHERS ARE OVERLOADED AND THERE'S TO BE SO MUCH NOT IN ANY WAY THAT IT SLAMMED ON TEACHERS.MANY THIS TEACHERS DID NOT HAVE ANY MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING.
DID NOT KNOW WHAT SIGNS TO LOOK FOR.
AND IF THEY DID, DIDN'T HAVE A CLEAR PROCESS.
CLEAR WAY TO IDENTIFY MY DAUGHTER AS SOMEONE WHO NEEDED HELP. THANKFULLY, SHE WAS ABLE TO GRADUATE. RUNNING START IS AN AMAZING THING. WE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL THE DAY OF GRADUATION. WHETHER OR NOT SHE WOULD MAKE IT. SO, HE COULD NOT IMAGINE THOSE TWO YEARS JUST AS WELL, I DID NOT HAVE THIS MUCH GRAY HAIR TWO YEARS AGO. AND THESE MANY ARTICLES.
IT WAS A DUTY FOR ALL OF US. OUR FAMILY IS PART OF THAT JOURNEY AND IT VEXED THE WHOLE FAMILY.
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASK, AS I SEE OUR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS STRUGGLE WITH THE EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC. WITH THE EFFECTS OF STRESS.
AND ANXIETY. IT'S SO RAMPANT IN OUR HIGHLY ACHIEVING COMMUNITY. THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASK ARE WHERE ARE THE IN SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS? WHERE ARE THE WAYS THAT STUDENTS KNOW EASILY IF THEY ARE FEELING SAD OR IF THERE FRIENDS AND MORE SO, FEELING DEPRESSED AND IN SAYS THAT THEY WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES.HERE THE PROCESS FOR KIDS TO IDENTIFY AND GET SUPPORT? USUALLY IN SCHOOLS? LOW BARRIERS ÃÃSUPPORTS FOR TEACHERS. THERE IS GREAT INFORMATION OUT THERE. THERE IS EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS. HIS EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SKILLS. THAT WOULD'VE BENEFITED FROM MY DAUGHTER. I'M SURE.
AND WILL BENEFIT YOUNG KIDS THROUGH 12TH GRADE.
AND HOW ARE THOSE BEING ROLLED OUT AND HOW OUR TEACHERS GETTING ACCESS TO TRAINING SO THAT THEY CAN EFFECTIVELY ROLL THOSE OUT AS WELL. WITH THE PANDEMIC, AND I KNOW I'M WIDOW WAY OVER TIME, WITH THE PANDEMIC, FAMILIES ARE REALLY STRUGGLING AND I HEAR THIS FREQUENTLY.
THE INCIDENT IS CUTTING. SELF-HARM.
EATING DISORDERS. THEY ARE GOING TO THE ROOF.
AND THESE ARE REACTIONS TO AN EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.
THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. FEELS UNSAFE AND IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTIME SOON. SO, FOR US AS A COMMUNITY, HOPE THIS NEXT GENERATION OF STUDENTS THAT ARE EMERGENT ÃÃ THAT WILL BE GUIDING US WHEN WE ARE IN OUR INFIRMED EARS, WE WANT THEM TO ÃTHIS I WANT THEM TO HAVE THE BEST ACCESS, HAVE THE BEST MENTAL HEALTH THAT THEY CAN AND THAT STARTS WITH THE SCHOOL. YOU CANNOT SUCCEED UNLESS YOU HAVE MENTAL HEALTH. IT'S AS IMPORTANT AS FOOD AND SHELTER. THEY JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT.
>> WE NOW HAVE AN ONLINE THERE'S JUST THE NEXT PERSON'S EYE AT EDRIS. I GUESS THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WORKING WITH ONLINE PUBLIC COMMENT.
DIRECTOR OF LIBERTY, YOU'RE HELPING TO SUPPORT THAT, THANK
YOU. >> OKAY, I HAVE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? HEY, OKAY, WE ARE NOT HEARING YOU AT THIS MOMENT. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT YOU ARE ON MUTE. WE WILL WORK THAT PIECE.
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> IF YOU COULD SPEAK
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> IS IT WORKING?> YES!
[00:15:06]
AWESOME.>> .EVENING BOARD OF DIRECTORS. I'M HOLDING SCHOOL FRESHMAN PRINTER STARTED TO MAKE RECOGNIZED HOLIDAY IN THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT AMASSED OVER 2100 SIGNATURES AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION.
HAPPENS TWICE A YEAR. ONCE AT THE END AND THE END OF THE PILGRIMAGE IN MECCA. EVERY YEAR, MUSLIM STUDENTS AND FACULTY TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS ON THE HOLIDAY.
EITHER MISSING SCHOOL AND LOOSE MARKS OR CELEBRATIONS WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HOWEVER, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RECOGNIZED IT, IT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION.
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, NEW JERSEY, MINNESOTA, ILLINOIS, VERMONT, NEW YORK, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND, AND VIRGINIA HAVE ALL RECOGNIZED IT.
I WITNESSED IT FIRSTHAND IN NEW JERSEY THIS TIME AND IT HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED THE MORALE OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY THERE.
PURGING TIES BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, MORE THAN 76,000 STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND FACULTIES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS.
MUSLIM STUDENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEIR FAITH AND THEIR FUTURE. THE SUBMITTED VIDEO TESTIMONY FROM SEVERAL STUDENTS, TO TERESA HARDING.
IF YOU COULD PLEASE TAKE THREE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, IT WOULD HELP UNDERSTAND THE PERSPECTIVE AND ALSO DILEMMA. I ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE PREPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AFFECTS THIS MATTER.
HOWEVER, THIS CAN BE RESOLVED BY GIVING TO BREAK A SECULAR NAME. EASTER BECAME SPRING BREAK.
IT BECAME WINTER BREAK AND I'M SURE IT CAN BE RELATABLE STUDENTS EVERYONE. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WANTED OUT FROM SCHOOL TO WITNESS THE SPECIAL HOLIDAY WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT MISSING TESTS AND GETTING CAUGHT UP. ARE THERE ANY JUSTICE I SPOKE TO MR. ORTEGA AND HE SAID WITH CONCERNS, HE HAS NO PROBLEM ARRANGING TECHNICAL MAPS AS HE HAS IN THE FORM OF CHICAGO.
I TRULY WISH WE CAN MAKE THIS A REALITY.
A REALITY IN WHICH MUSLIM STUDENTS ARE SEEN, HEARD, AND VALUE. A REALITY IN WHICH THE FULL POTENTIAL OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IS REALIZED.
THANKS MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR TERESA HARDING.HE MENTIONED THE VIDEO COULD ARE WE ABLE TO SHOW THAT NOW? OR?
>> YES, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE THE CAPACITY. OKAY.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT THEN AND EVERYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO
WATCH IT THAT WAY. >> YES, I THINK I EMAILED HER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? >> THAT IS PERFECT.
OUR NEXT PERSON WHO IS SIGNED UP IS SELMA.ND I APOLOGIZE.
PLEASE PROVIDE THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> WE CAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE GO AHEAD.
A FIFTH-GRADER AT HENRY DAVID ELEMENTARY.
FOR ME, I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD ÃÃWHETHER IT WAS YESTERDAY OR [INDISCERNIBLE] IT'S FRUSTRATING HOW WE DON'T GET A BREAK BECAUSE IT MATTERS.
PERSONALLY, I'VE HAD THAT ONE TIME WHILE MATH TEST CATCHES UP WITH ME AND IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING.
BECAUSE SOME OF THE MUSLIMS THINK IT IS IMPORTANT [INDISCERNIBLE] QUESTIONS.
I'VE NEVER HAD SCHOOL AND CHRISTMAS.
WHY SHOULD THIS BE ANY DIFFERENT? IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSLIM HOLIDAYS, HAVING TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE SPA MEANS MISSING A LOT MORE THAN JUST A DAY OFF. IT MEANS THAT IT MEANS SPENDING THE DAY WITH FRIENDS, STUDENTS WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A TEST AT DIFFERENT TIMES OR GET LESS TIME ON THEIR IN CLASS ASSIGNMENT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY STUDENTS, AT LEAST IN LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD HAVE A ONE-DAY BREAK ON ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] ONE DAY. THAT'S ALL THAT'S NEEDED.
ONE DAY TO HAVE FUN, ONE DAY WILL MAKE IMPACT.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM [INDISCERNIBLE] WILL THEN WANT TO DO THE SAME. THEY'VE AGREED ON IT.
IT WILL SPREAD TO OTHERS. ALL I ASK IS FOR ONE DAY.O CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY. TO MAKE IT FEELING EVEN THOUGH STUDENTS [INDISCERNIBLE] THEY ARE STILL BACK. EVEN IF THEY ARE HOME HERE, THEY CAN APPRECIATE IT. THE EFFORT THAT'S PUT IN THE KEEP WASHINGTON STATE COUNT AS OUR HOME [INDISCERNIBLE] THE EFFORT THAT'S PORTED TO KEEP OUR DISTRICT, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD [INDISCERNIBLE] THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND SO, THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL SIGN UP FOR ONLINE IS BONNIE MCDANIEL.
[00:20:09]
SHE IS SIGNED IN. >> HELLO, CAN YOU SEE ME AND
HEAR ME? >> WE CAN SEE YOU AND HEAR YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE BEGIN WHENEVER YOU ARE
READY. >> MY NAME IS BONNIE MCDANIEL.
AM A COACH AND VOLUNTEER OF THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL FOUNDATION WITH [INDISCERNIBLE] LONGTIME PTA ADVOCATE AND PARENT OF THREE TEENAGERS, WHO GREW UP IN THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TONIGHT.
I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU AS A PARENT.
A PARENT OF KIDS WHO WERE STRONG STUDENTS.
CREDITS ACADEMICALLY FOCUSED AND HAVE GOOD FRIENDS.
IF YOU METHOD IN CLASS, THEY SEEMED HAPPY AND WELL-ADJUSTED.
THEY KNEW THAT THE ADULTS AROUND THEM EXPECTED PERFORMANCE FROM THE AND THEY DELIVERED.
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY HAD MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES THAT THEY KEPT TO THEMSELVES.
MY KIDS STRUGGLED WITH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT THEIR PEERS AND MANY OTHER KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES STRUGGLE WITH.
WHEN I HEAR NUMBERS LIKE 20 PERCENT OF 10TH GRADERS IN THE HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY, THE MOST RECENT ONE REPORTED FACE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED ATTEMPTING SUICIDE IN THE LAST YEAR.
I THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF THIS SADNESS.
AND THE PAIN. ALL THOSE KIDS ÃÃOUR KIDS AND THE PARENTS, WHO LIVE IN FEAR THROUGH LONG LONG NIGHTS ÃJUST BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ONE OF THEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF CAUSES FOR WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK THERE IS JUST ONE SOURCE. KIDS ARE EXPOSED TO MEDIA ABOUT WHAT IS EXPOSED IN THE VERY COMPLICATED WORLD.
CLIMATE CHANGE, RACISM, PERFORMANCE PRESSURE LIKE NEVER BEFORE. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE OUT TO BE ON THE GAME ALL THE TIME. AND THEN CAME THE PANDEMIC.
WHICH MADE AN ALREADY DIFFICULT CLIMATE FOR OUR KIDS AND ISOLATED THEM FROM THEIR FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILY.
AND DISRUPTED THE WORLD. WHAT SEEMS CLEAR TO ME IS THAT THIS PROBLEM THAT WE ARE FACING IS SYSTEMIC.
IT'S NOT AN INDIVIDUAL OR JUST A FAMILY PROBLEM.
FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, WE ALL HAVE TO COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW. PARENTS, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. WE HAVE A MORAL ALLEGATION TO THINK CREATIVELY AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS BETTER FOR OUR KIDS. WE CAN START OFF BY INVESTING IN MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR OUR KIDS WHO NEEDED THE MOST.
PEER EDUCATION AND TRAINING AMONG THE MODEL OF YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FOR TEENS AND CAN BE HELPFUL BECAUSE TEENS TURN TO THEMSELVES AND CAN PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THEM TO BE RECOGNIZED WITH HOW TO SUPPORT THEIR FRIENDS.
ALSO WHEN IT'S TIME TO TALK TO ADULTS.
I ALSO BELIEVE THAT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS A GAME CHANGER. AND IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW FOR OUR KIDS. IF THEY WANT TO LEARN SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING SKILLS. WE NEED TO START WITH ADULTS.
AS PARENTS KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO SAY THE RIGHT THING, BUT A FRIEND ALSO BACKING THAT UP WITH YOUR ACTIONS, IT SENDS A MIXED MESSAGE TO KIDS. IF ADULTS NOT ONLY SEE THE RIGHT THINGS, BUT THEY NATURALLY SHOW UP IN WAYS THAT ARE HELPFUL WITH THE STUDENTS, THAT IS A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH KIDS. NOT TO MENTION THAT KIDS, PARENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, WE COULD USE SOME TOOLS NOW TOO. MOST OF US DID NOT GROW UP LEARNING ABOUT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.ND THE WORLD WE'RE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW THIS ÃIT'S HITTING IS HARD TO.
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> WE CAN BUY ACCIDENTALLY.
[INDISCERNIBLE] WORKS A COUPLE OF QUICK POINTS.
>> IF YOU COULD WRAP UP REALLY QUICKLY COULD WE ARE PAST OUR THREE MINUTES. THAT HAPPENS.
AND WE ARE NOT IN THIS SPACE. IT'S HARD IN THE ONLINE WORLD.
>> YES. SO, JUST A QUICK VERY QUICK POINT WANT TO MAKE IS THAT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS CRITICAL TO GROWTH. IN PARTICULAR TO THOSE OUTSIDE THE INNER CIRCLE, WE NEED TO PRACTICE THIS AND WE CAN LEARN THOSE SKILLS THROUGH SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.E WANT TO
[00:25:03]
POINT OUT THAT IT'S A SMART INVESTMENT FOR OUR FUTURE.IT COULD BE ÃDISH STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS, THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS 11Ä.HICH MEANS FOR EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED DISTANCE THERE IS AN $11 RETURN.
I WANT TO LEAVE THAT IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WHERE TO PUT OUR RESOURCES.
THIS CAN BE NOT ONLY ONE WHERE COULD SAVE LIVES, BUT ALSO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE INVESTMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE FUTURE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M SORRY THAT I HAD TO CUT YOU OFF. WE JUST SORT OF HAVE TO MANAGE
THAT TIME. >> OUR NEXT PERSON THAT WE HAVE UP AS CHRISTINA AND SLIME AND I'M GOING TO JUST ASKED TO STATE A THREE MINUTE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
>> WE HAVE LITTLE TIME TO SHAVE.
IT'S NOT SO EASY. CHRISTINA, CAN YOU HEAR ME? THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE SHE CAN.
[INDISCERNIBLE] SIR CHRISTINE, YOU ARE WELCOME
TO START AT ANY TIME. >> HELLO.
CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? >> ID TEXTING HER?
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK I GOT IT.
THANK YOU. AM SO SORRY. HELLO.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TONIGHT.
REGARDING BOARD POLICY ZERO 14 ADDRESSING ANTIDISCRIMINATION AND EQUITY. MY NAME IS CHRISTINE AND I AM A COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH E SITE PATHWAYS.
OUR TEAM IS CALLED EQUITY IN COMMUNICATIONS.
FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, WE HAVE WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE TIMELY, ACCURATE, AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT COMMUNICATION WITH AND FOR THE LATINO AND HISPANIC COMMUNITY.
WE PRODUCE WEEKLY SPANISH THAT CONVEY DISTRICT COMMUNICATION IN A CULTURALLY RELEVANT MINUTE MANNER.
OUR TEAM INCLUDES SYSTEMIC MISCONDUCT, KC HA, ALTA BSA, ESP, KIDS QUEST MUSEUM, CITY OF KIRKLAND AND E SITE CATHOLICS.
MY COLLEAGUE, ILIANA BUT THEN OF SYSTEMIC ESCALERA COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT. AND HAS SUBMITTED WRITTEN TESTIMONY. I AM HERE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WE ALSO WANT TO REINFORCE AND SUPPORT THE BOARD POLICY ON ANTIDISCRIMINATION.ND EQUITY. THE WORK BEING DONE BY THE BOARD AND POLICY OE 14 IS FANTASTIC.
MY MESSAGE IS THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INTERNAL DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE BOARD'S POLICY ON ONE HAND AND LSD ACTION IN THE COMMUNICATION AREA.ND SOME, IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET TIMELY AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FROM THE DISTRICT. TO BE CLEAR, WE ARE COMMUNICATING ONLY OFFICIAL DISTRICT INFORMATION.
WE HAVE PRESENTED THE DISTRICT'S INFORMATION IN A CULTURALLY RELEVANT MANNER FROM THE TRUSTED COMMUNITY MEMBER.
THE GOOGLE TRANSLATE TRANSLATIONS DO NOT PROVIDE MEANINGFUL INFORMATION FOR THE COMMUNITY OR FOR OUR PARENTS.
THE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE PUT IN A CULTURAL CONTEXT THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE LISTENER. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED IN A FORMAT AND WE HAVE LEARNED THROUGH OUR WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT FORMAT IS A VIDEO TESTIMONY, NOT AN EMAIL.
OUR DIFFICULTIES IN ATTAINING KINDLY INFORMATION FROM THE DISTRICT ARE CONSIDERATE. ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, YOU HAVE STATED IN OE 14.
WHICH ARE TO ENSURE EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS, CLOSE PERSISTENT GAPS FOR PERSONALIZED COMMUNITY AND
[00:30:13]
CREATE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT STRATEGIES.IN THE DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IT IS THIS LAST POINT THAT WE THINK OUR WORK DIRECTLY ADDRESSES.
AND IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITH ME OR OUR TEAM DISTANCE MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS THE FORM THAT I SUBMITTED TO RSVP THIS MEETING. WE WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU FURTHER ON THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRISTINE. I APPRECIATE THAT.
SO, WITH THAT, WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL.
THE LAST ONLINE AND IN PERSON. WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL WRITTEN COMMENTS THIS EVENING. THERE ARE SEVERAL SET FORWARD IN REGARDS TO CREATING POLICY AND AN NEW GRADING SYSTEM AS PUT FORWARD AND AN ADDITIONAL ONE SHARON MCCAIN RECOGNIZED HOLIDAY.S WELL AS THE REFERENCE BY CHRIS AND SLIME.
THE LITTLE MADONNA ONE IN REGARDS TO EQUITY AND COMMUNICATION. MAKE SURE TO READ THIS.
I WILL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ AT LEAST ONE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON EQUITY AND GRADING. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO HEAR ANY OF THOSE THIS EVENING. GIVEN JUST A SECOND AS I HEAD OVER TO THE WRITTEN. UNLESS SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING THEY WANT TO READ? I'M GOOD, I GOT IT.
THE FIRST ONE I HAVE HERE IS FROM CAMERON MISERABLE.
WHO IS A PARENT GUARDIAN OF FAMILY MEMBER AND RESIDENT.
SAINT GEARED BOARD MEMBERS FOR CONSIDER GRADING STUDENTS WITH LESS PERCENTAGES ON THE FINAL SPRINT RATHER IMPLEMENT GRADING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ENCOURAGE PLANNING, CLASS PARTICIPATION, AND CONFIDENCE BUILDING AMONG STUDENTS THAT YOU CALL FUTURE READY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. A HIGHER PERCENTAGE LEONARD FINAL EXAM MAKES THE KIDS ANXIOUS ABOUT EXAMS, GRADES, AND COLLEGE ADMISSION. TEACHERS ARE GREAT, BUT THEY ARE HUMANS TOO. THIS WILL PROTECT I KEPT FOR MANY ERRORS BY THE TEACHER AS FINAL EXAM PERCENTAGES ARE NOT LARGE. FINALLY, THE SCHOOL FOCUS SHOULD BE KIDS COMING AND NOT RUNNING THE CONFIDENCE OR THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.ND I WILL JUST FALL WHILE THE SECOND ONE FROM [INDISCERNIBLE] FAMILY, PARENT, OR GUARDIAN MEMBER.
DEAR DOCTOR AND GUARDIAN MEMBERS.
THIS REFILL THE GRADING SYSTEM GRADING FOR EQUITY.
GRADING SYSTEM WHICH PUTS SIGNIFICANT WINS ON TESTS AND DISREGARDS HOMEWORK AND SUCH PARTICIPATION HAS HARMED MANY STUDENTS MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL AS NEGATIVELY AND IMPACTING STUDENTS ACADEMIC STANDING THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
FURTHER, IF IT PUTS TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON OUR TEACHERS AS IT'S BEEN PROVEN UNWORKABLE FOR THEM.
AS A PARENT WITH CHILDREN IN WHITE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICTS, I FELT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THE WIDESPREAD HARD, CHAOS AND GRADING SYSTEM COST IS COMMUNITY THIS YEAR.
PLEASE REPEAL THIS GRADING SYSTEM AND RESTORE THE PREVIOUSLY SOUND GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR.
THANK YOU. AS I SAID, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. I WILL GO AND ENCLOSE PUBLIC, FOR THIS EVENING AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR REACHING OUT. DO NOTE THAT THESE ARE READ BY OUR BOARD MEMBERS AND WILL BE FOLLOWED UP ON DIFFERENT WAYS
[E. Consent Agenda]
IN REGARDS TO THOSE. THESE DIFFERENT COMMENTS THAT HAVE COME THROUGH. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE CONSENT AGENDA. FOR JUNE 21, 2022.FIRST QUESTION, ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS THAT THEY WISH TO HAVE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA TO BE DISCUSSED INDIVIDUALLY? HEARING NOT, I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.> MOVED TO APPROVAL.
>> SECOND. >> AS BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR CARLSON AND DIRECTOR CHOI. DOCTOR HOMAN, WILL YOU PLEASE
PULL THE BOARD? >> DIRECTOR CARLSON?
[F. Non-Consent Agenda]
>> DIRECTOR LIBERTY? >> PRESIDENT BLAZER?
>> YES. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE NONCONSENT AGENDA. AND FOR TONIGHT, WE HAVE OUR FIRST READING FOR RESULTS THREE LIFE SKILLS AND CITIZENSHIP.
I THINK THIS ALIGNS ITSELF WELL IN REGARDS TO SOME OF THE PUBLIC, THAT WE'VE HAD THIS EVENING AS WE LOOK THROUGH THESE RESULTS. SO, LOOK FORWARD TO THIS DISCUSSION. I WILL PASS THIS OFF TO DOCTOR HOMAN FOR AN INTRODUCTION. ASK THIS RESULTS THREE HAS BEEN ON A UNIQUE JOURNEY FOR THE BOARD AS THE BOARD REALLY DOES TRY AND TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC OUTCOMES THAT YOU ARE
[00:35:04]
MONITORING TO DETERMINE OVERALL ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS.AND AS WE WERE IN PREPARATIONS TO MONITOR RESULTS.
ABOUT A YEAR AGO ÃJUST IT REALLY CAME TO LIGHT THAT THE MONITORING DATA AND REPORT REALLY WAS NOT MEETING THE INTERESTS OF THE BOARD. IT REALLY WAS NOT PROVIDING INFORMATION THAT WAS RELEVANT AND ALLOWING THE BOARD TO UNDERSTAND THE OUTCOMES AND RESULTS THREE LIFE SKILLS AND CITIZENSHIP. AND SO, THROUGH A RECOMMENDATION THAT A PROPOSAL TO MAYBE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STATE LEVEL FRAME WORKS REGARDING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING, THE LORD APPRECIATED THAT.
AN ASSOCIATE SUPER INTENDANT, MAC KILLING HIM AS LET THE BOARD THROUGH A NUMBER OF STUDY SESSIONS TO REVIEW THE SPL BENCHMARKS AND TO DEVELOP POLICY LANGUAGE.
AND INTERPRETATION INDICATORS AND SPECIFIC TARGETS.
AND SO,, IS THE FIRST READING FOR SUPPORT.
MATT IS HERE AND WILL PROVIDE A PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD AS A
LEAD INTO YOUR DISCUSSION.?? >> GREAT, THANK YOU DOCTOR HOMAN. ALL RIGHT.
[INDISCERNIBLE] [LAUGHTER] CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? HOW AM I STILL GETTING THE ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] ALL RIGHT. THAT'S BETTER.
THANK YOU DOCTOR HOMAN. AND SO, TONIGHT BEFORE YOU GO INTO YOUR FIRST READING OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO BOARD POLICY RESULTS THREE, WHICH BOARD SHOULD HAVE AVAILABLE TO IT IN BOARD DOCS. I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO JUST WALK US THROUGH ONE, WHAT IS THE CURRENT POLICY LOOK LIKE? SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THE BOARD HAS EXPRESSED WITH ITS ARE THREE POLICY ÃÃOFTEN TIMES IT COMES UP OR HAS COME UP IN THE PAST FEW YEARS WHEN WE GET TO MONITOR THE POLICY AND HAS HAD SOME FRUSTRATIONS IN THE WAY WE ARE YOUR MONITORING THE POLICY IS NOT NECESSARILY MEETING THE EXPECTATIONS. I WILL REVIEW THE PROCESS THAT THE BOARD HAS GONE THROUGH THIS YEAR.
IN TERMS OF THE REVIEWING FEE WASHINGTON STATE FCL STANDARDS.
AND DEVELOPING. PROPOSED LANGUAGE.
I WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE FCL STANDARDS ARE. WE WILL HAVE REVIEWED THE POLICY AND AMENDMENTS. ONE THING THAT'S ATYPICAL FOR THE GOVERNANCE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE BOARD, BUT IS ACTUALLY JUST AS WE HAVE CONSIDERED ÃTHIS WHAT IS THE INTERPRETATION INDICATORS AND TART TARGETS FOR MONITORING THE POLICY AT THE SAME TIME OF ACTUALLY REVISING THE POLICY? SO, AND HOPEFULLY I WILL LEAD INTO SOME NICE CONVERSATION AT THIS POLICY. ALL RIGHT, OUR CURRENT POLICY Ã ÃR3 IS LIFE SKILLS AND CITIZENSHIP.
THE BOARD HAS ÃÃHAS IDENTIFIED 12 KIND OF KEY AREAS THAT BELIEVES ARE NECESSARY TO ÃDISH FOR GRADUATES TO LEAD A PRODUCTIVE AND REWARDING AND RESPONSIBLE LIFE AS A CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THE GREATER SOCIETY.
AND SO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE THINGS LIKE QUESTIONING ANYTHING CRITICALLY. WORKING WITH OTHERS.
DEMONSTRATING RESILIENCE. AS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS POLICY OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE REALLY KIND OF COME UP WITH A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES THAT EITHER STAFF OR THE BOARD HAVE JUST AS YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATED. WILL JUST THINK THIS, BUT REALLY THREE BIG KEY CATEGORIES.
ONE IS THAT THE CONCEPT OF STANDARDS.
WHICH IS WHAT IS THE STANDARD FOR ACTUALLY IDENTIFYING THESE NUMB 12 ITEMS? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? WHAT PERSPECTIVE WAS BROUGHT INTO THAT AND THAT LEADS INTO THAT CONCEPT OF ALIGNMENT. WHICH IS IF THE BOARD IS HOPING TO GOVERN THROUGH POLICY, WHAT WE ÃTHIS REALLY WHAT WE IDEALLY HAVE IS THE BOARD'S POLICY TO PROVIDE CLARITY FOR
[00:40:02]
THE ORGANIZATION. SUCH THAT IT'S ABLE TO DRIVE ACTION THROUGH THE WORK. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE AND SAY THIS INCORPORATES DISTRICT GOALS AND TO BUILD A SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS. AND IT'S EVEN SOMETHING THAT Ã ÃCAN SHOW UP IN A MATTER OF CLASSROOM TEACHERS.COULD BE THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS SHOWS UP IN A CLASSROOM.
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WITH THE CURRENT OUR THEORY IS THAT IT REALLY DOESN'T ÃÃIT'S NOT A COHESIVE PACKAGE.
AND SO, WE TALK ABOUT THE CHALLENGES OF TRYING TO ALIGN OUR WORK AROUND THAT. THE ONE THAT HAS REALLY DRIVEN AND KIND OF ÃÃWARDROBE WAS TO LOOK HAD SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY WITH OUR THREE IS THINKING ABOUT HOW WE EFFECTIVELY MEASURE OUR SUCCESS AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT AGAINST THAT POLICY. MANY OF THE WAYS THAT WE BEEN HISTORICALLY MAJOR IN OUR THREE IS MORE OF A REFLECTION OF OUR PERFORMANCE AS ADULTS. OR OUR BEHAVIORS AS ADULTS.
THINGS IN WHICH WE WOULD MONITOR ONE OF THE OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS. THE EXTENT TO WHICH DISCIPLINE FOR EXAMPLE WAS ONE ITEM THAT WE MONITORED.
WE CONNECTED IT TO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
AND YET EXCLUSIONARY DISCIPLINE IS NOT ÃÃONE, IT'S REFUSED ONES THAT WE EXPERIENCE EXCISION OR DISCIPLINE.
ONE PERSON. 99 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS WILL ÃÃDO NOT EXPLAINS EXCLUSIONARY DISCIPLINE.
THAT MAJOR WITHIN ITSELF DOES NOT ACCEPT TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS.
IN TERMS OF THEIR ABILITY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
AS WE'VE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES, I WOULD THINK IN SOME WAYS, SOME OF THE WHAT THE BOARD SHOULD HOPE TO THROUGH REVISIONS, THROUGH OUR THREE TESTERS WOULD HOPE TO HAVE A REALLY SOLID FOUNDATION AS TO WHY WE HAVE AND BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHY WE HAVE THESE GOALS.
THESE RESULTS ARE IMPORTANT. BEING ABLE TO ARTICULATE HOW THEY FIT TOGETHER IN A COHESIVE PACKAGE.
IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT THE ROUTE ÃÃTHE ORGANIZATION. WHAT ÃJUST HOW DOES THIS MANIFEST ITSELF IN EACH LEVEL, RIGHT? WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM LEVEL IN THE SAME WAY THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVEL? REALLY, OVER TIME, WE CAN ÃÃ THE THEORY OF ACTION IS THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DRIVE CHANGE BECAUSE WE PROVIDED NICE CLARITY AND HAVE ALIGNING OUR SYSTEMS TO MEET THOSE RESULTS. AND FINALLY WITH MEASUREMENT, IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO MEASURE AND FOR THIS POLICY, THAT IS REALLY CHALLENGING. AND SO, AS WE GO INTO THAT, I'LL TALK ABOUT CHALLENGES BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST STEP OF THE BOARD WITH RESPECT TO MODIFYING THIS POLICY. THAT THERE IS CONTINUED WORK AHEAD. SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO MANAGEMENT. OUR PROCESS ÃÃTHE BOARD HAS BEEN ENGAGED IN THIS PROCESS.
EALLY SERIOUSLY FOR THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR.
WHAT'S NOT ON HERE IS THAT WE MONITOR OUR THREE AND NOVEMBER AND WE ACTUALLY TESTED THE BOARD ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS EXPRESSING SOME FRUSTRATION WITH OUR THREE AT THAT MOMENT.
AND SO, WE PUT ON THE DECEMBER 6 STUDY SESSION WITH THE BOARD LOOKED IN DEPTH AT THE WASHINGTON STATE FCL.
STANDARDS. FROM THAT, STUDY SESSIONS ÃÃ WE THIS IS THE BOARD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN REVISING THE POLICY. SO, WE DRAFTED A POLICY LANGUAGE TO BRING TO THE BOARD. STUDY SESSION RETREAT ON MARCH 19. BROUGHT IT BACK BASICALLY THE BOARD ENGAGED IN CONVERSATION AROUND THAT WHILE REVISIONS BACK TO THE BOARD. IN THIS DEPOSITION ON MAY 9.
AND THEN THE BOARD ENGAGED IN ITS FIRST READ PUBLIC READING OF THE POLICY TODAY. AND DEPENDING ON FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS TODAY ÃÃCOULD ENGAGE IN A SECOND READ LAST WEEK OR YOU KNOW? FURTHER AT [INDISCERNIBLE] SO, I TOOK WITH THE WASHINGTON STATE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING STANDARDS.
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE CHALLENGES. YOU KNOW? IN TERMS OF THE BOARD HAS TALKED ABOUT TESTERS HOW TO BE DEVELOPED THE OR THREE TO BEGIN WITH? AND LOOKING AT A PROCESS THAT'S JUST THE WASHINGTON STATE FCL STANDARDS REALLY DO HAVE SOME CROSS OVER WITH SOME OF THE BOARDS INTEREST AN EXISTING PROCESS.
FOR EXISTING POLICY. THE STATE HAS REALLY OVER COURSE OF MULTIPLE YEARS HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING WITH PRACTITIONERS.XPERTS, WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. THERE IS A STANDING STATE FCL COMMITTEE THAT REALLY HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK TO TRY TO
[00:45:05]
INTEGRATE MULTIPLE VOICES AND DEVELOPING STATE STANDARDS.AND CONTINUE TO BUILD THOSE OUT.
THE STATE HAS ALSO TAKEN WHAT WE CALL AN ACID BASE.
APPROACH TO THINKING ABOUT OUR STUDENTS.
WHAT ARE THE GIFTS AND SKILLS THAT THEY BRING TO US? AND THINKING ABOUT THAT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF EQUITY.
AND THAT IS WE ENGAGE WITH SCO WORK THAT WE ARE FOCUSING ON WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED. THINKING ABOUT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVENESS. PART OF THE CHALLENGE WHILE WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THE CITIZENSHIP SKILLS OR LIFE SKILLS RELATED TO AND IDENTIFYING ONES THAT ARE APPROPRIATELY AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE.
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A BARRIER. THE IDEA OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS ALSO EMBEDDED INTO THE STANDARDS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A LEVEL OF ACCESSIBILITY THAT YOU GET BELOW. OUR STUDENTS THROUGH ÃDISH REALLY UPSET AND CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON OUR STUDENTS AND WHAT ARE THE ASSETS THAT THEY BRING? WHAT ARE THE SKILLS THAT YOU PULLED OFF OF? THE STATE HAS IDENTIFIED A FRAMEWORK OF SIX STANDARDS AT FIVE OF THESE ACTUALLY ALIGNED WITH CASTLE, WHICH IS THE NATIONAL KIND OF ORGANIZATION THAT IS REALLY THE FINAL FUNCTION ENGAGEMENT SO, THE BOARD AT OUR DECEMBER SESSION WITH HIS STANDARDS.
IN DEPTH TO MATERIALS FOR IOS PIS DEVELOPED AROUND AND DISCUSSED HOW THOSE RELATE TO THE CURRENT MODEL OF OUR THREE.
AND JUST TO POINT OUT THAT WE THINK ABOUT THAT CONCEPT OF ALIGNMENT. THE STATE IS ALSO DONE A LOT OF THE WORK FOR US. IN THINKING ABOUT HOW THESE STANDARDS ALIGNED WITH THE K-12 REPEAT ÃDISCRETE 21 EXPERIENCE AND TAKING SPECIFIC STANDARDS SUCH AS SELF-AWARENESS AND BREAKING IT DOWN INTO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE.
THERE IS A BENEFIT TO USING AND RELYING ON THE STANDARDS BECAUSE WE CAN ACTUALLY SAY THIS IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN A CLASSROOM. WE WOULD BE SEEING ONE OF OUR STUDENTS ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATING TESTERS DEMONSTRATING THIS.
HROUGH ALL THAT WORK ÃDISH THE BOARD HAS ENGAGED IN SOME GREAT DISCUSSIONS. OUR DISCUSSION AROUND AMENDING THE POLICY AND PROPOSE TO THROUGH STRIKETHROUGH.
WITH EXISTING LANGUAGE REMOVED AND ANY UNDERLINE AS AN ADDED LANGUAGE. A NEW LANGUAGE.
THE BOARD ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS AROUND CITIZENSHIP.HAT DOES THAT MEAN AND THE CHANGING THAT TO THE CONCEPT OF A GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP.
PARTICULARLY TO RECOGNIZE BOTH THE GLOBAL NATURE AND THAT STUDENTS ARE GOING INTO. AND ALSO TOOK PRIDE IN THE CITIZENSHIP TO NOT NECESSARILY BE LIMITED AND CONSTRUED BY ONE'S ACTUAL CITIZENSHIP OF A NATION OR ANOTHER.
THE BOARD HAD IDENTIFIED AN INTEREST IN HAVING A PRE-AND POOLS SO TO SPEAK AROUND WHY IS THIS WORK IMPORTANT? WHAT IS THE BOARD VALUE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING?ND HOW ÃÃESSENTIALLY A THEORY OF ACTION ÃÃWHY THOSE SKILLS CONNECT TO THE BOARD'S MISSION AND VISION FOR FIRST ADMITTANCE. AND AS WE GET INTO THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS, THE BOARD HAD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN ALIGNING WITH THE STATES STANDARDS.
NOT NECESSARILY USING THIS TERMS WORD FOR WORD.
BUT, THE REFLECTION OF THE SIX STANDARDS AND FROM SELF-AWARENESS, HAVING STUDENTS TO IDENTIFY THEIR STRENGTHS AND AREAS FOR GROWTH. SELF-MANAGEMENT, REGULATING THEIR EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIORS AND CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS PARTS OF ACT EFFICACY AND DEMONSTRATE AND REASONABLE GOALS AND PLANS.
SOCIAL AWARENESS REALLY BEING ABLE TO TREAT OTHERS WITH
[00:50:09]
RESPECT INCLUDING THOSE FROM CULTURES AND IDENTITIES.SOCIAL MANAGEMENT MAKING SAFE CHOICES ABOUT PERSONAL BEHAVIOR AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND FINALLY SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT.
WHICH IS REALLY SHOWN AND DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE AS A CITIZEN REMEMBER TO THE WELL-BEING OF SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY. AND SO IS A PARALLEL EFFORT WITH THIS ÃÃWIRE INDICATORS AND TARGETS? THE BOARD MOVIE ABLE ÃTHIS PARTICULAR MEASUREMENTS BIGGEST CHALLENGES THIS IS REMAINING ENGAGING IN CONVERSATIONS TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE MEASURE THAT. HOW WOULD WE BUILD EVERYTHING TOGETHER? THE REASONABLE TRADITION IS PRESENTED HERE. A LOT OF THESE SUPERINTENDENTS INTERPRETATION LANGUAGE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE.
FCL STANDARDS. AND AGAIN, AS ALIGNED TO EACH SECTION OF THE STATE. STATE STANDARDS.
AND AS FAR AS INDICATORS ÃÃ AND THIS IS WHERE IT INDICATED THAT THE BOARD REALLY HAS ÃÃ THIS IS THE START AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE IS THAT IT IS NOT COMPREHENSIVE.
BUT IT WOULD BE REMOVING ANY INDICATORS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY MORE OF A MEASUREMENT OF OCCULT BEHAVIORS.
AND STARTING AS A FOUNDATION OF STUDENT PERCEPTION DATA.
WE'VE BEEN ASKING STUDENTS QUESTIONS THROUGH THE PANORAMA OF SURVEY PLATFORMS. DELIVERED WITH PANORAMA AND PANORAMA TEAM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO IDENTIFY WHAT BASED ON WHAT THE POLICY AND LANGUAGE FCL STANDARDS ÃÃWHAT WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE SURVEY QUESTION BANKS THAT WOULD ACTUALLY ALIGNED WITH THAT? THAT WOULD HELP US GET A SENSE OF OUR STUDENTS AND SELF PERCEPTION OF THEIR ABILITIES OR SKILLS WITH RELATION TO THOSE RESULTS? WE HAVE BEEN A ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND MAP OUT DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE SURVEYS. WE HAVE ACTUALLY ÃAS WE WILL HAVE ALL OF THIS DATA GOING INTO NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS IN ADVANCE OF OUR SPRING SURVEY.
AND SO, IT WILL BE SOMETHING WILL BE ABLE TO MONITOR RIGHT AWAY.HE BOARD HAD INDICATED AND EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN HAVING OTHER FORMS OF OR OTHER INDICATORS IN WHICH YOU COULD MEASURE. AND SO, THAT WOULD ENVISION THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ONGOING WORK.
AND TO IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS ONCE THE BOARD HAS SETTLED ON SPECIFIC POLICY LANGUAGE. FINALLY, AS FORCED TARGETS, THE KIND OF SIMPLEST WAY TO REPRESENT THIS IS THE 9090 GROWTH. AND SO, AS FAR AS WHAT WOULD BE TARGETS ÃDISH 90 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS RESPONSIVE WOULD BE MUTUAL OR FAVORABLE. 90 FAVORABLE RESPONSES WOULD ALSO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE 90TH PERCENTILE OF DISTRICT.
WITHIN THE PANORAMA TOOL JUST AS WE ARE ABLE TO GET A PERCENTILE RANKING OF WHERE STUDENTS RESPONSES WOULD PUT US ON A NATIONAL LEVEL. THE BOARD HAS INDICATED IN INTEREST IN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS AND HOW THOSE STUDENT RESPONSES ÃÃ MIGHT VARY WHEN WE DISINTEGRATE THE DATA. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU DOCTOR HOMAN. HOPEFULLY THAT WAS PROOF ENOUGH OVERVIEW OF OUR THREE AND CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD THIS
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OR DISCUSSIONS? THIS IS THE FIRST READING. IT'S REALLY OPEN FOR DISCUSSION COMPLETELY. THERE IS NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN.
DIRECTOR CARLSON? >> JUST ÃÃA CLARIFICATION OF PERSONS REGARDING A COUPLE SLIDES BACK.HE INDICATORS OR AT LEAST BY THREE POINT 13.6 Ã IS INDICATORS FOR THROUGH .1 AND 3.2 WERE FOR WORD FOR WORD IDENTICAL.COULD YOU GET INTO
THE DETAILS OF WHY THAT IS? >> BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A TYPO. THE ME PULL-UP MY SCREEN.
ALSO WENT BLANK HERE IN MY. >> THEY ARE NOT IDENTICAL IN
I THINK THE POSTED CORRECTLY. 3.1 SHOULD BE RATIONAL REGULATION AND 3.2. SHOULD BE THE SELF-REGULATION.
[00:55:13]
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> DIRECTOR LIBERTY?
>> JUST A COMMENT. I'VE SEEN ONE OF OUR AUDIENCE MEMBERS TAKE A PHOTO OF THE SCREEN TONIGHT.
THE WHOLE DISTRICT PACKET POSTED TO THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE AND FOR TESTERS ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME.
WE OBVIOUSLY WELCOME ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK WE COULD RECEIVE ON THIS. IT'S UNDER BOARD DOCS ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE.NY TROUBLE ACCESSING IT, YOU CAN EMAIL US AS WELL. IT IS A QUESTION FROM THE AUDIENCE. DIRECTOR.
YOU CAN ANSWER. >> I WILL BRIEFLY ADDRESS IT.
BOARD MEMBERS AT LW ST.WORK. THAT EMAIL ALIAS GOES TO EVERY BOARD MEMBER.> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. CARICATURE?
>> I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT SECOND TO LAST SLIDE.
THIS ONE. IF 90 PERCENT OF STUDENT RESPONSES WILL BE NEUTRAL OR FAVORABLE.
AND THEN STUDENT FAVORABLE RESPONSES WILL BEGIN WITH THE 90TH PRESENTED DISTRICT. IS 1/90 PERCENT NEUTRAL RESPOND CONSIDERED BY PANORAMA AS A FAVORABLE RESPONSE?
>> THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS CONSIDERED NOT.
IT'S CONSIDERED A NEUTRAL RESPONSE.
ONLY LOOK AT THE OVERALL RESPONSES, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS SURVEY BEHAVIOR.T TAKES PLACE WHERE STUDENTS MIGHT ACTUALLY FEEL FAVORABLE, BUT MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY FEEL UNFAVORABLE. AND SO, LOOKING AT THE TOP THREE. IT'S ALL ON A SCALE OF FIVE SELECTIONS. TAKING THE TOP THREE.
ACTUALLY ALLOWS US TO BENCHMARK AND IDENTIFY A GROUP OF STUDENTS. AND SO, IT'S NOT A NEGATIVE RESPONSE. IT'S ALSO NOT A POSITIVE
RESPONSE. >> I WOULD LOVE TO ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION ON THAT PIECE.
>> WHEN THEY REVIEW FAVORABLE. WHEN I LOOK AT THE DATA AND REVIEWED THE PERCENTILE WITH THE DISTRICTS, I ASSUME THEY'RE ONLY USING THE TOP TWO DISTRICTS?
>> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RESPOND TO THAT RIGHT NOW?
>> YES.> SO, THE WAY THAT THESE TWO TARGETS WHAT ESSENTIALLY INTO PREY ÃDISH FOR THE PERCENTILE BEEN THE 90TH PERCENTILE, BASED ON THE NUMBER TWO MOST FAVORITE RESPONSES, SO, IF WE HAVE MET 90 PERCENT OF STUDENT RESPONSES NEUTRAL OR FAVORABLE, BUT LET'S SAY 80 PERCENT OF THOSE ARE NEUTRAL. WE WOULD NOT BE IN THE 90TH PERCENTILE. BECAUSE ALL OF THE ÃÃTHE 90TH PERCENTILE LOWEST ONE THAT I'VE SEEN THUS FAR IS 54 PERCENT.
WOULD BE FAVORABLE. YOU WOULD NOT BE IN ONE OF THOSE ÃDISH VERY DIFFICULT TARGETS ÃDISH WALLS, 90TH PERCENTILE TARGET WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF NEUTRALITY.
ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS ÃÃ I'M GONNA GO BACK TO THIS IDEA HERE. SORRY FOR JUSTICE AS I THINK ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF ALIGNMENT TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE FOCUSED ON. CONSIDER IN TERMS OF NOT ENDING 90TH PERCENT. CLEARY CLEARLY CALLED FOR THIS AREA OF FOCUS POOL VIEWERS ACROSS THE BOARD MISSING AND A LOT OF THOSE TARGETS YOUR ACTION IS ACTUALLY DRIVEN AS A RESULT OF MONITORING. IT CAN BE LESS OF THIS DISH I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S MAKING SENSE. IT'S TRYING TO FIND THAT RIGHT BALANCE IN TARGETING. THIS IS THE EITHER POPULATIONS THAT NEED TO ATTEND TO. THIS IS A PARTICULAR TARGET THAT WE NEED TO ATTEND TO. AND SO, HAVING KIND OF THE BETWEEN THAT 9090 SHOULD HELP US CALL OUT.
WHERE'S THE SPECIFIC AREAS THAT WE WANT TO BE ATTENDING TO?
>> I DO SEE THE PROBLEM THOUGH IF YOU HAVE 80 PERCENT AS
[01:00:03]
NEUTRAL AND ONLY 20 PERCENT ARE TRULY FAVORABLE.AND THAT COULD BREAK UP DIFFERENTLY BETWEEN THE GROUPS.
I WOULD JUST ÃÃFOR ME, DATA SIDE AND HOW YOUR UTILIZING THAT DATA. HOW WELL DOES THAT IDENTIFY WITH PANORAMA USING THAT SCALE? THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN.
USING A SCALE BY TOSSING IN A NEUTRAL PRETTY ALMOST TOSSING THAT UNKNOWN TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND WE HAVE TO REMOVE THOSE WHEN WE DO THOSE THINGS. SO, I THINK THAT'S THE PIECE OF WHY THAT CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT.
AND MAYBE THAT'S JUST UNDERSTANDING YOUR UTILIZATION OF THE DATA. I CAN SEE IT REALLY MISINFORM WITH NEUTRAL DRIVING THINGS. SO, AS A MINIMUM, THAT BROKEN UP BY THOSE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
COURSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO COMPASS FOR THE WORLD IS THE BOARD INDICATED THAT JUST REPORTING ON PERCENTILE WAS NOT ADEQUATE. AND THERE IS ALSO AN INTEREST IN HAVING ASPIRATIONAL TARGETS AND THERE WAS A CONVERSATION THAT THE BOARD HELD AROUND ÃIS THERE IS A NUMBER OF THESE INDICATORS THAT WILL TESTERS THEY WILL NEVER PURSUE 90 AND 95 PERCENT AFFIRMATIVE RESPONSES.
THAT IS THE NATURE OF KIDS AND PEOPLE AND HUMANS.
AND SO, IT'S ALSO TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT WAY TO REPORT THIS. AND SO, IF YOU WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED OCCURRED, IT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO HOW WE REPORT THE RESULTS TO. WHEN WE HAVE BENCHMARK DISTRICTS, WE HAVE OUR OWN DATA AND GROWTH.
AND ALL THREE OF THOSE HAVE TO BE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE FOR THE TARGET TO HAVE BEEN BACK. WHEREAS IF WE HAD 50 PERCENT OF STUDENTS FOR I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT HE PERCENT OF STUDENTS REPORTING NEUTRAL, WE WOULD NOT BE REACHING THE 90TH PERCENTILE TARGET. SO, IT'S KIND OF TAKING IT HOLISTICALLY. LOOKING AT IT.
>> I GUESS I WOULD JUST HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU EXIT PROVIDE THE DATA THAT SHOWS EACH OF THOSE CATEGORIES ACROSS THE BOARD.
BECAUSE A QUICK ÃÃ90 PERCENT OF THE TARGET.
OTHER CAPACITY TO LOOK THROUGH THIS.
IF THAT MAKES SENSE. >> I BELIEVE THEY REPRESENT.
>> WILL REPRESENT DATA WHERE WE BREAK IT UP LIKE A STACKED CALL ALLOWS. MAYBE YOUR MEETING THAT 90 PERCENT. IF IT'S 50 PERCENT POSITIVE OR NEUTRAL. 90TH PERCENTILE, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE FOR THE SERVER DESIGN.
REALLY GOOD. WE MET THOSE TWO FIRST TWO AREAS. IF IT'S 80 PERCENT NEUTRAL AND 10 PERCENT ON. WE'RE NOT ME IN THE PERCENTILE.
BUT THEY WOULD CALL OUT LIKE YES TECHNICALLY WE HAVE MET IT.
MAJOR AREA OF GROWTH AND MORE CONCERNING WOULD BE IF WE HAVE AREAS WHERE WE ARE NOT MEETING THAT.
THAT IS TELLING US THAT THE GREATER THAN 10 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE REPORTING SOMETHING UNFAVORABLY.
AND THAT WOULD BE AN AREA OF CONCERN.
CLOSED CAPTIONS RETURNING SHORTLY.
>> ACROSS ONE OF THESE THINGS WERE ONE SINGLE METRIC ÃÃWE COULD POTENTIALLY CHECK THE BOX WHERE WE DID.
AND YET, WE ARE HAVING KIDS THAT ARE THIS DISH I COULD CERTAINLY FOLLOW UP WITH PANORAMIC TYPE DIGGING INTO MORE WHY DID NOT CONSIDER THAT. THEY DO HAVE A LARGE MUTUAL RESPONSE. ON A LOT OF THEIR ÃTHE SOME OF
DIRECTOR CARLSON? >> GO AHEAD.
>> ONE LAST THING. THE OTHER WAY TO WRITE THIS TARGET WOULD BE 90 PERCENT OF STUDENT RESPONSES ARE NOT UNFAVORABLE. POINT THAT'S THE OTHER WAY TO
WRITE THE TARGET. >> IT'S KIND OF THE POINT I WAS
[01:05:05]
GONNA MAKE. BROADLY SPEAKING, THIS IS SOMETHING WERE PART OF OUR PROBLEM IS WE ARE IN CONTROL THIS SURVEY. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO FORCE KIDS IS TO SHOW THEM WERE LESS HAPPY THAN AVERAGE?E WANT TO GIVE ONE IN FOUR CATEGORIES. YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM CATEGORIES ÃTHIS WITH THE DEAL WITH THE DATA AS IT GOES.I LIKE THE DATA WHERE LET US SEE WHAT WITH WE WERE DEALING WITH. ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES 90 PERCENT OF TEENAGERS TO SAY THAT THEY ARE HAPPY IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE MET. AT LEAST REQUIRING 90 PERCENT OF THEM SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT HAPPY IS I THINK POTENTIALLY FEASIBLE. SO, I AM BROADLY SPEAKING.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. BECAUSE THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AROUND THESE THINGS THAT MATTER THAT COULD BE MEASURED THAT ARE NOT ALREADY IN THE TRANSCRIPT.
I THINK OUR OLD STANDARD OF HAVING TO MAKE CONNECTIONS.
HONDA BELIEVE OUR WEEK ÃÃ [INDISCERNIBLE] YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE GROWING PAINS HERE.
I FORGOT TO LEAVE THE COMPLEMENT.
THIS IS TREMENDOUS PROGRESS. EVEN IF THERE ARE DETAILS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SUSS THROUGH.
THANK YOU. >> YES, THANK YOU DIRECTOR
WE WILL NO LONGER BE LOOKING AT OUR STANDARDS AS WE LOOK THROUGH THE YEARS AND HOW WE WE HAVE RESPONDED AND HOW WE HAVE EXPECTATIONS. WE ARE ALSO COMPARING THIS TO DISTRICTS ÃÃTO THE RESULTS NATIONALLY.
>> YES, SO, THE NIGHT THAT SECOND MAJOR TARGET WOULD BE TO SAY THAT WE ARE JUST AS IN THE SUN FOR EACH OF THOSE.
SUB POLICY AREAS. OUR RESPONSE WOULD PLACES IN THE TOP 90TH PERCENTILE ACROSS THE NATION.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLY SUGGEST AND RECOMMEND HOWEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT, THAT WE PUSH PANORAMA TO THE IDEA THAT HAVING SIMILAR DISTRICTS COMPARED PER POPULATION WISE.
I DON'T KNOW. I'M AFRAID THAT IF WE ARE COMPARING IT TO MY HOMETOWN DISTRICT BACK IN OKLAHOMA, IT'S GONNA BE APPLES AND ORANGES. AND IT WOULD NOT BE A FAIR COMPARISON. TO BE QUITE FRANK.
IF WE ARE COMPARING IT TO SCHOOLS THAT HAVE THE SAME OFFERINGS OR SIMILAR OFFERINGS AND SAME SIZE.
THEN, I THINK WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE SUBSTANCE THERE.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRESSURES OF THE ACCELERATED CLUSTERS AND THAT IS THE IMPACT THEY ARE HAVING ON THE SPL.
I'LL BE QUITE FRANK. QUITE A FEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER THAT SORT OF THING.
THINK IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. >> I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.
THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO FILTER.
ONE ON ONE SHORT OF IT IS THE ABILITY TO CONSIST THE CONFLICTS IN GROUP. THE NUMBER OF ASSOCIATE JUSTICE DISTRICTS DISHES ESSENTIALLY ADD NEW CLIENTS.
CONSTANTLY CHANGING. AND SO, THE PERCENTILE OF WHAT MIGHT COUNT WITHIN THE 90TH PERCENTAGE THAT COULD COUNT THE 19 PERCENTILE MY CHANGE FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
SO, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM. ON THAT.
AND CERTAINLY GET THEIR THOUGHTS IN TERMS OF DISTANCE
IN THE SUN. >> I REALIZE PEOPLE WALK IN AND WALK OUT OF THESE SURVEYS. STILL, IF THEY HAVE CATEGORIZATIONS ABOVE 10,000 AND 20,000 AND SO FORTH.
SOME KIND OF GROUPING IF YOU WILL, EVEN IF IT'S A DIFFERENT GROUP. IT'S A LITTLE MORE OF A GROUP THAN COMPARISON COMPARING US TO 5000 SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
>> THANK YOU DIRECTOR LIBERTY. >> TWO QUESTIONS.
I WILL ASK ONE AND FOLLOW-UP ON THE FIRST AND SECOND ONE.
I'M LOOKING AT APPENDIX A, OR AS SURVEY QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU. >> TO REITERATE, LOOKING AT APPENDIX A. WHICH HAS THE SURVEY QUESTIONS.
AM I RIGHT THAT WHAT IS THE MUTUAL RESPONSE, THE RESPONSES THAT ARE SOMETIMES AND SOMEWHAT ESSENTIALLY SOME DERIVATIVE OF
SOME IN THE SUN. >> THOSE WOULD BE THE NEUTRAL
>> THAT THIRD CENTRAL COLUMN. >> OKAY.
GOOD. THAT ACTUALLY GIVES ME EVEN MORE COMFORT ABOUT OUR APPROACH.
I DON'T KNOW. ACTUALLY VIEW THESE RESPONSES AS SOMEWHAT OF NEUTRAL PLUS SOMEWHAT.
[01:10:06]
THIS IS A LITTLE MORE TO ME, THEN MORE THAN NEUTRAL.THAT'S MY VIEW. CAN I ASK A SECOND QUESTION?
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER CALL AND MONITORING TIMELINE FOR THIS.
SO, WE HAVE THE ÃÃTHE SURVEY AND STUDENT SEVERITY COMPLETED A SURVEY. CORRECT?> YES.
WE HAVE THE DATA BACK AT THIS POINT?
>> JUST A LITTLE BIT AN INTERIOR QUESTION.
MORE HOLISTICALLY. WE MET WITH DIRECTOR GLEASON ARE NOW, I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST WEEK AND ONE OF THE INTERESTS WE HEARD FROM THE BOARD ON AN ONGOING BASIS IS THE MONITORING REPORTS AND DATA WE ARE RECEIVING OUR SOMEWHAT DISCONNECTED, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT A YEAR AND A YEAR AND AND A HALF OLD.O, WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE TIMELINES FOR REPORTING AND BELIEVE WE CAN DO OUR MONITORING MUCH EARLIER IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. WHICH WOULD GIVE THE BOARD DATA EARLIER IN THE YEAR. YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL THE MONITORING PRIOR TO SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION.
SO, THERE ARE A FEW GOOD COMPONENTS AROUND THAT.
SO, WE DO HAVE THE ARE THREE DATA RIGHT NOW THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CONDUCT THE RESULTS THROUGH MONITORING.
I BELIEVE WERE RELATED WAS SEPTEMBER.
>> AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. DEPENDING ON WHERE WE LOOK AT THE WORK PLAN. THE FIRST ONE WE WOULD DO.
AND IT WOULD COVER THE 21 AND 22 SCHOOL YEAR.
>> I BELIEVE WHAT WE TEST TEST YES.
WHAT WILL IN THE DON WAS A SCHOOL SESSION IN AUGUST.
AROUND THE INFORMATION MONITORING AND BOARD PERFORMING BE MONITORED IN SEPTEMBER. YES.
IF THE BOARD DOES FORMALLY ADOPT A NEW ARE THREE POLICY,
THAT WOULD BE THE TIMELINE. >> THANK YOU FOR SHORT-CIRCUITING MY QUESTION. NEXT REPRINTING ALL THE ANSWERS IN ONE FELL SWOOP. I AM ALSO.
AND THAT ALL SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> I HAD TWO MORE QUICK QUESTIONS.
>> GO AHEAD. >> [LAUGHTER] IN SUBSECTION 3.6 ÃÃIT TALKS ABOUT THE INDICATOR UNDER INDICATORS OF PRESENTED STUDENTS REPORTING POSITIVELY, WHERE THE CONSIDER THE PERSPECTIVES OF THEIR TEACHERS ON THE PANORAMA SURVEY.
AND I AM CURIOUS. HOW ARE WE MEASURING THE
COMMUNITY COMPONENT? >> SORRY, I'M TAKING A MOMENT TO LOOK AT THOSE QUESTIONS IN THE APPENDIX A.
THAT'S JUST GREAT. WE DO NOT HAVE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT. A COMMUNITY SURVEY BANK.
ONE OF THE THINGS THOUGH ÃÃ THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH PANORAMA IS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THAT SURVEY.
INTEREST ONE, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAP OUT HAVING CONSISTENT DATA, BUT ALSO CONTINUALLY REFLECTED AND LOOKING AT THAT IF THEY WERE TO DEVELOP AND MAKE CHANGES AND DEVELOP OTHER QUESTION BANKS THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE THAN WE WOULD NEED TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD AND SAY EITHER THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION BACK THAT WE ARE ASKING WE NEED ADDITIONAL INTO WHAT IS IN INDICATOR OR IF WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY THAT WE ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS ABOUT INDICATOR IN OUR CURRENT SUBSTITUTE THAT.
SOME OF THE LONGITUDINAL MONITORING.
THAT WOULD BE BE AN OPTION. I CAN TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE DID UNCOVER IN EXPLORING THIS THIS YEAR.
RELATED TO COMMUNITY ALL THAT. >> AND THAT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT THAT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THAT CHART, THERE IS A FEW ITEMS THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MONITOR AND THAT IS TRUE EACH OF THE POLICY SECTIONS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK WITH PANORAMA AND OR IDENTIFIED DIFFERENT DATA SETS AND
DIFFERENT INDICATORS. >> I THINK IT'S ESSENTIALLY JUST THE POINT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND I THINK THAT IT'S BEEN A HEAVY LEFT IMPLEMENTING THIS NEW SURVEY.
WE WERE WORKING THIS POLICY. I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THERE
[01:15:02]
ARE LIMITATIONS WHEN WE ARE ONLY MEASURING RESULTS WITH AN OPTIONAL OFTEN SURVEY THAT WE ARE NOT CAPTURING.ACCURATE PICTURES. POTENTIALLY OF OUR STUDENT BODY. AND SO, IF THIS IS THE SOLE METHOD FOR MONITORING PROCESS AN HOUR OR THREE FOR THIS TIME ÃJUST I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD GET THE AGGREGATED RESULTS.O THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT THE RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEYS ACTUALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION OR IF IT'S JUST A CERTAIN GROUP WITHIN OUR STUDENT POPULATION. T THE VERY LEAST TO START.
I BELIEVE THE TARGETS OF THE BOARD'S TARGETS.
AND SO, WE BROUGHT YOUR PROPOSAL TONIGHT.
AND SO, IF THE BOARD WANTS TO MODIFY THOSE TARGETS, THAT IS I BELIEVE, THE BOARD'S AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.
THIS IS A PROPOSAL IN THE WAY OF LOOKING AT THE TARGETS.
I BELIEVE IT'S THE BOARD'S DECISION AROUND WHAT TARGETS
YOU WANT TO SET. >> ARE YOU SUGGESTING DIFFERENT
>> YES. >> I WAS TALKING ABOUT
INDICATORS FOR MEASURING. >> ONLY JUST JUMP IN THERE.
NE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WERE ALLUDING TO DISTANCE WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE. THE QUESTION OF RESPONSE RATES.
AND CURRENTLY IN THE PANORAMA SYSTEM, WE COULD GET AN OVERALL PERFUNCTORY, I CAN REMEMBER WHAT APPENDIX IT IS WITH WHAT THE RESPONSE RATES ARE. THAT IS A TOP LINE NUMBER FOR ALL STUDENTS. AND SO, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS JUST AS A COMPLETELY FAIR QUESTION.
SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE REPRESENTED IN THIS RESPONSE RATES. THE INTENT OVER TIME WOULD BE TO EVENTUALLY BE EXTRACTING THE DATA OVER THE PLATFORM SO MUCH THAT WE COULD GET THE DATA AND JUSTICE WE WILL ESSENTIALLY HAVE TO DO OUR OWN CALCULATIONS.
BUT WILL BREAK OUT OF SOME LIMITATIONS OF THE PLATFORM
ITSELF. >> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
MY, AS A IN RESPONSE TO DIRECTOR CHOI. TO HER SPECIFIC COMMENTS THERE.
>> DIRECTOR STUART. YOU HAD SOMETHING?
>> REAL QUICK. I CAN SEE THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE IDEA IS STILL VERY SELECTED.
I CAN SEE THAT YOU MAY END UP GETTING THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE STUDENTS AND ONES THAT WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE HEARD ALL THE TIME. THE OTHER ONES REALLY DON'T CARE SO FORTH. ONCE WE PROBABLY NEED TO REACH QUITE FRANKLY. AND REQUIRING YOUR ADVICE TO DO IT. THAT WOULD BACKFIRE PROPOSE A STUDENT REQUIRED TO DO ONE OF THESE, I'LL BE GOING DOWN RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE TO SKEW THE RESULTS ENTIRELY.
OR THE NEGATIVE. IS THERE SOME WAY TO INCENTIVIZE PARTICIPATION? I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S KIND OF AN OPEN-ENDED QUESTION.
FROM SOME OF US TO CONSIDER? CAN WE INCENTIVIZE PRIESTS TO SPITTING IN THIS? IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE IS ONE MORE TO TAKE THIS WEEK OR ONE WERE SOME QUESTIONS OF THE PAST. JUST DISTANCE THE SUN SOMEBODY
LOOKS A LITTLE AND NOT STIFF. >> DIRECTOR LIBERTY?
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I HAVE JUST TWO.
AND I DO WANT TO SAY THANKS AGAIN.
I APPRECIATE THE WEIGHT YOU FELT LISTEN TO THE COMPONENTS.
ONE OF THEM IS ÃÃACTUALLY, THERE ARE NUMBER TWO.
BASED ON OUR STUDY SESSION EARLIER.
WE TALKED ABOUT UTILIZING THE FOCUS GROUPS.
OUR OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS. MORE IN-DEPTH SORT OF DIVING AND CONCEPTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS PLACES WERE THAT WOULD BE IDEAL.
TO BE ABLE TO WRITE HIM A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION WITH OUR STUDENTS AND TO HOW THEY FEEL THESE THINGS ARE GOING SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE DATA THAT WE GET THROUGH THE SURVEY. GIVE SOME OF THE DATA THAT WE GET BEHIND IT. I THINK OF YOU SAY THE UNITS.
THINKING ABOUT YOUR PUBLIC, OF GIVING SOME OF THAT STORY JUST PROVIDES A LITTLE MORE DEPTH TO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE COME FORWARD. I THINK WE MIGHT MESS THAT THROUGH THIS. IF WE DON'T HAVE POSITIONAL COMPONENT IN THIS. AND I THINK IT CAN TIE IN TO ALL THE OTHER RESULTS AND TIE INTO THE ECONOMIC RESULTS.
[01:20:03]
I THINK WE CAN DO PRETTY EFFECTIVELY ACROSS THE BOARD WITH OUR STUDENTS AND BEING ABLE TO ASK MULTIPLE QUESTIONS.NO SPECIFIC SPIRIT THAT'S JUST A LOOK AT SOME OF THIS OTHER IN-DEPTH WAYS WE CAN POSSIBLY TACKLE IT.
THE OTHER QUESTIONS AROUND HEALTHY USE SURVEY.
AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT HELPS TO PLAN.
I THINK IT'S ONLY TWO EVERY TWO YEARS.
I DID NOT BEGET INFORMATION ON HOW THAT.
HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THAT AS THAT CONSIDER.
>> I BELIEVE THERE WAS A POINT IN TIME WHERE WE DID USE A HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY. AND ER.
I CANNOT REMEMBER WHICH PORT. NOT BE BACK PRIOR TO MOVING OVER TO GOVERNORS. SO, HAS ITS LIMITATIONS EVERY TWO YEARS. AND THERE ARE SOME POINTS WHICH WE CAN DESEGREGATE THE DATA. SO, WE CAN GET SOME TOP INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR STUDENTS.
YOU KNOW? WHETHER IT'S SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO CERTAIN BEHAVIORS. THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE INTERESTING. FOR US TO BE AWARE OF AND MINDFUL. WE POSTED INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY MATCHING BACK TO THE STATE SEL STANDARDS.
IN SOME WAYS, IT'S BEEN LOOKING INDICATORS OF WHERE THE EXTENT OF WHICH STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING IN DISTRESS.
WITHIN THE SURVEY. THAT IS SOMETHING WE COULD TAKE AND BE HAPPY TO COME IN AND LOOK AT.
TO GET A DEEPER LOOK AT THE HEALTHIER SURVEY TO EXPLORE THE
QUESTION. >> IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING HOW THE INTERPLAY IN THE LONG RUN IF YOU SEE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FAVORABLE PEACE ALONG THESE, THE RECEIPT MATCHING DECREASE OF WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING. COULD YOU ASSUME THAT SHOULD HAPPEN?F IT'S NOT PERHAPS NEED TO BE THINKING A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. IT JUST SEEMS A GOOD DATA SOURCE THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ADD ANOTHER LITTLE INFORMATION AROUND IT. THAT'S WHY I WAS CURIOUS.
>> I THINK YOU ARTICULATED THE THEORY OF ACTION IF WE TEND TO SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING SKILLS AND HELP DEVELOP OUR YOUTH, WE WILL SEEK FEWER STUDENTS EXPRESSING EITHER WERE EXPERIENCING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISTRESS.
WHEN ENGAGING IN UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS.
>> YES, I DO SORT OF SEE THAT KIND OF STUFF PIECING.
THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD ASK IS THAT WE DO NOT WANT OUR SPENDS SO MUCH WE HAVE JOHNNY FU SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WORK THAT HE'S BEEN DOING WITH THOSE OF HIS WILL.
IS IT WOULD BE GOOD AT SOME POINT IN OUR WORK PLAN TO HAVE A STUDY SESSION OR IF THAT REALLY DOES THIS CHEMICAL WERE WERE AT IN THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND MENTAL HEALTH.
JUST THE SORT OF THE PROBLEMATIC PIECE THAT WILL GIVE US SORT OF THE FRAMEWORK AS WE LOOK THROUGH THE RESERVES COME IN. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE MY PIECE
THAT I WOULD PROPOSE. >> DIRECTOR STUART IN DIRECTOR
CHOI? >> IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE WERE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SURVEY FOLKS AND BE ABLE TO GET COMPARATIVE DATA CONTRACTS AND SO FORTH.
WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FIND AND HAVE A PRESENTATION RATHER WERE STUDY SESSIONS ON PROGRAMS DESIGNING ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS. WHETHER IF 90 PERCENT OR 20 PERCENT. OR GOING TO BE DOING IN 22 AND 2023 TWO ADDRESS THAT'S JUST BASICALLY AS AL AND VARIOUS ASPECTS OF IT? IT'S ONE THING TO KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS AND AM OF THE THING TO RESPOND TO IF YOU WILL.
AND EVEN NOW, CREATIVELY, EVEN IF YOU START YOUR SURVEY.
>> I THINK THE GUEST IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS OF IT IS BY PROVIDING CLARITY OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS EMPHASIZING DISHES THE BOARD WOULD BE EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.ND I WOULD SAY THAT UP TO THIS POINT, WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME RUN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. T HAS NOT BEEN CENTERED IN THE CONTEXT OF A CLASSROOM TEACHER AND THINKING ABOUT IS THAT ONE OF MY PRIORITIES? HOW WE THINK ABOUT WHETHER IT'S AN ALIGNMENT OF OUR PROGRAMMING.ESOURCES.
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF EFFORT AROUND THAT AND THAT'S WHAT COMES TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT ALIGNMENT EFFORT.
THERE IS LONG-TERM. THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME NEED TO SOCIALIZATION OF THIS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND CONTINUING WITH OUR TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS.
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN CONTINUING TO BUILD OUT.
WAYS IN WHICH THIS SHOWS UP HOW WE LEVERAGE OUR EXISTING RESOURCES.XISTING TOOLS IN WHICH WE HAVE.
SO, WHILE THERE IS CERTAINLY PROGRAMMING WE COULD DO RELATED
[01:25:01]
TO IT. I WILL JUST SAY.THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO JUSTICE PROVIDING CLARITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO REALLY USE THAT AS A FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING OFF OF KIND OF A CHANGE OF MINDSET GIVEN THE ORGANIZATION AND HOW WE HAVE ORIGINATED AND HOW WE TRANSLATE TO ADULTS AND HOW WE BUILD THEIR CAPACITIES AROUND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. SO, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THERE ARE SOME SHORT-TERM GAMES AND SHORT-TERM LONG-TERM FOUNDATION THAT THE BOARD IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO START KIND OF GETTING THE BALL ROLLING AND A WAY THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE HERE
AND TENFOLD. >> I GUESS THE REASON I'M ASKING. WHEN WE ARE AGGRAVATING THE DATA THIS IS A GO BACK TO THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TYPE A AND TYPE B AND TYPE C PERSONALITIES WITH OUR ORGANIZATION.
WE ALL HAVE AN IMPACT WITHIN THE BALL TO THE TYPE AIDES WILL GATHER INFORMATION UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME.
THE SEAS WILL ACT IMMEDIATELY AND THANK GOD THERE IS THE THIEVES. THEY WILL BALANCE IT OUT.
THE SURVEY WILL GIVE US AN INDICATION AS TO WHAT SOME OF OUR NEEDS. AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THEM AND NOT JUST IN THE LONG TERM.
WE NEED TO ADDRESS AS WE ARE DEVELOPING.
WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING THE AIRPLANE AS WE FLY.ND THE REASON ÃÃMY MIND, IF WE KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT THEM ENTERING IN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY ÃTHIS MAYBE WE HAVE A BUDGETARY INPUT. OUR BUDGETARY EFFECT.
MAYBE HOW MANY BODIES WE HAVE PUT INTO? HOW MANY DOLLARS HAVE BEEN PUT INTO IT? AND BECAUSE OF THIS DISH IF WE'RE JUST SURVEYING IT.
EMILY GOT THE NUMBERS TO BECOME UP WITH A PROGRAM THAT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY MEAT BEHIND IT WITH THE DOLLARS AND THE BODIES. IT'S JUST ÃÃMENTAL
GYMNASTICS. >> DIRECTOR, GIVE ANOTHER,?
>> THIS OCCURRED TO ME WHILE YOU WERE ACTUALLY SPEAKING ABOUT THE LINKAGES. SEEMS LIKE THIS MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO ASK OUR COUNSELORS WHAT THEY ARE SEEING IN OUR SCHOOLS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY OR WHERE IT WOULD FIT. IT DOES JUST AS WE ARE ASKING OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR TEACHERS AND WERE TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING WE ARE NOT ASKING THE COUNSELORS. SEEMS LIKE A MESS.
>> TO THAT POINT, AND TO THE POINT WHERE THEY MADE EARLIER.
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING FOR US TO KNOW AND TO FIND OUT WHAT LEVEL OF BACKGROUNDING EDUCATION OR TRAINING ALREADY EXISTS IN MENTAL HEALTH WITH TEACHERS.
QUITE FRANKLY, WITHIN THE STAFF AND TOTALLY.
WITH PARENTS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PARENTS BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THESE PROBLEMS. TO BE QUITE FRANK, THOSE TWO CATEGORIES DO A LOT OF THE TEACHING WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT.
MAYBE NOT ON THE BOOKS, BUT THAT'S ÃJUST THEY ARE CARRYING OUT THE ASSIGNMENTS WITH THE KIDS DIRECTLY.
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW, WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH ALREADY? DO WE HAVE A PERSON THAT HAS TRAINING AND WE HAVE A COUNSELOR TRAINED ONLY OR EXPERIENCE ONLY HELPING THEM FIND THE RIGHT COLLEGE? OR DO I HAVE ONE THAT IS REALLY TRAINED AND HOW TO DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
[01:31:35]

INDIRECT DETROIT AND HELPING TO DO THOSE INTERVIEWS AND MOST ACCURATE JOINT ROSE AND BEING PART OF THOSE.I THINK YOU'VE BOTH COMMENTED THAT YOU ARE VERY MUCH IMPRESSED BY OUR YOUTH AND STUDENTS WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS AND DESIRE TO BE ENGAGED IN ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS WE ARE LOOKING FOR WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD. ORDERED, THINK THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER EQUITY UPDATE? I WILL MULTIPLE NUMBER COMMENTS. DIRECTOR STUART?
>> AS WE TRANSITION TO A NEW ADMINISTRATION IF YOU WILL.
I WANT TO JUSTICE OF THE POOR TO US BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE AS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OUR EQUITY SO MUCH.
WE TOOK THAT TO THE NEXT LEVEL HE WILL.ANTING TO PUT EVERYTHING IN PAPER. TO BE QUITE FRANK IS A MONUMENTAL ENDEAVOR. NOW, IT'S REALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT MEANS OTHER THAN JUST WORDS ON A PAGE.
WITH THE ISSUE OF CREATING SOMETHING THAT CAME UP THIS DISH LAST DECEMBER THAT I HAVE BROUGHT FORTH TO THE STAFF AND BOARD. AND IT JUST KIND OF JUSTICE TOOK PRIORITY OR WHAT? WHEN THE HORSES, LORD AFTER JANUARY JUST AS IT SEEMED LIKE IT WENT OFF THE RADAR SCREEN.
IT'S NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT. MIGHT JUST BE YOU WORKING ON IT, BUT THE PUBLIC IS 90 WORKING ON IT.
THEN, IT DOES THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM.
BECAUSE THEN THEY THINK WE ARE IGNORING THEM AND NOBODY LIKES TO BE IGNORED. WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN TIMES AND OTHER ISSUES, I WOULD REALLY LIKE US TO MAYBE STEP UP THE PROCESS AND BE LOOKING AT THE START TIME ISSUE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE JUST KICKING THE ROOM.
IT'S A DIFFICULT PROCESS FOR IS A DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO ADDRESS IS BECAUSE HIS PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE QUITE FRANK BEEN MORE SO.
THE SAME WAY FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
BROUGHT THAT UP LAST FALL. I EVEN READ ONE DURING BOARD, TO COUPLE OF TIMES. WE WENT TO A STUDY OF IT AND I REALLY HAVE NOT HEARD AN UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ARE.
IT'S GREAT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET ALL THE PLAYERS FROM OUTSIDE OUR ORGANIZATION TO INFORM THE AND GET THEIR INPUT.
HAVING AN EXPERT ON STAFF. MARY WILL BURN ESTIMATION.
WE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON.
I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO RECOGNIZE ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS WITH OUR COMMUNITY. CULTURAL AMERICANA, THE TWO LEADERS THAT THIS IS ANGIE AND AMONG OTHERS.
WE'VE RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM THE COUNTY THIS PAST FEW WEEKS.
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH WITH THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE.
IT'S AN ORGANIZATION OUT IN THE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY THAT HAS.
EMEMBER DRIVING PAST ON SATURDAY BY THE HEADQUARTERS.
SO THIS LONG LINE GOING UP THE PARKING LOT AROUND THE CORPORATE AND HELPING ANOTHER CORNER.
WITH VACCINATIONS FOR COVID. I WAS SO IN HARDENED AND SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT MAYBE FEEL GOOD THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE REACTING. AND THAT IT TURNED THAT THAT THERE ARE GETTING TO A POINT THAT THEY HAD SO MUCH PARTICIPATION THAT THEY PUT NOT ONLY ANOTHER DAY THAT THAT THAT DATA AND VACCINES IN FEMA SAID THAT THEY WILL BE THERE IN 45 MINUTES. AND THEY CAME.
THAT IS AN IMPORTANT STEP. AND MAKING SURE ALL OF OUR PARENTS AND ALL OUR KIDS AND STAFF PART REACHED I WANTED THEM WITH THE RETRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY.
>> THANK YOU DIRECTOR LIBERTY. >> AM NOT 100 PERCENT CERTAIN ABOUT THIS. NOT SURE ABOUT THE OTHER STATEMENT. AT OUR UPCOMING MEETING, WE HAVE RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON OUR START TIME.
RIGHT? I REMEMBER IS THAT THE DID REVIEW MEETING AND I WAS JUST PUT ON THE AGENDA.
>> IT IS ON THE AGENDA. >> OKAY, THAT WAS MY MEMORY, THINKING. YES, THAT WORK IS ONGOING AND WE WILL HEAR AN UPDATE IN LESS THAN A WEEK? RIGHT? SIX DAYS.
THAT WAS MY ONLY COMMENT. >> ANY OF THE BOARD COMMENTS? I DO HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL ON THE GRADING CONCERNS THAT HAVE
[01:40:01]
BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD. WE HAVE HEARD BOTH SIDES OF THE PARENTS THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CURRENT RATING POLICY. PARENTS THAT HAVE APPRECIATED THE SHIFT IN GRADING POLICY. AND RECOGNIZING THAT IT HAS BEEN A DISTRICTWIDE PIECE.Y UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PLAN IS TO HAVE A TASK FORCE REGROUP IN THE FALL TO START DIGGING INTO THIS A BIT OF THE SECONDARY LEVEL.IS THAT FAIR? >> PROBABLY WORK GROUP IS THE RIGHT TERM. RIGHT NOW, GRADING. FEEL LIKE YOU PROVIDED TO ME THE INFORMATION.
IT'S BEEN A LOCAL DECISION. IN TERMS OF THE SCHOOLS.
ACTUALLY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TEACHERS, IT'S THEIR DEVELOPING YOU KNOW? CLASS SETUP AND MAKEUP AND THINGS LIKE THAT. A NUMBER OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE STARTED TAKING ON GRADING AND THINKING ABOUT GRADING AND ENSURING THAT YOU KNOW? GRADES WERE ASSIGNING AND ARE ALIGNED WITH STUDENT OUTCOMES. AS OPPOSED TO STUDENT BEHAVIORS. SOME OF THAT IS TAKING PLACE AT THE BUILDING LEVEL., THAT IS TAKING PLACE AT A TEAM LEVEL.
AND SO, OUR SECONDARY ADMINISTRATORS ACTUALLY ASKED US IS IF WE COULD ADD THIS TO THE WORK PLAN AND REALLY ADDRESS THIS MORE HOLISTICALLY RATHER THAN YOU KNOW? SITUATION BY SITUATION. WE WILL BE DOING THAT NEXT
REGULAR LIBERTY, [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> ACTUALLY, I'M STILL IN DIRECTOR PLEASE NEWS MATERIAL HERE WITH THIS COMMENT HERE. SHE'S THE ONE WHO PUT ME ON THIS. SOMETHING THAT AFTER DIRECTOR PLEASE NOT SHARE THIS WITH ME, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE AS THE BOARD, WE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
MODIFYING OUR POLICIES TO HAVE A POLICY ON GRADING.
AND DIRECTOR LISTENER SHARED WITH ME THE SUMMER LOCAL, THIS NEIGHBORING DISTRICT BOARDS TO HAVE A BOARD POLICY AND THERE.
ACADEMIC POLICY THAT DOES TOUCH ON GRADING AT A HIGHLY POLICY LEVEL. AND I THINK THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONE THAT I LOOKED AT IN PARTICULAR.
A GOOD JOB IN STATING THAT THE AFFORDABLE POLICY DIRECTOR LEVEL. SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT AN HOUR BOARD PLAN FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR OR IN A COMMITTEE SETTING. I AM NOT SURE.
I THINK I PERSONALLY WOULD NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE WE ARE AS A DISTRICT AND WHAT WE ARE WERE DOING BEFORE.
GOING A LITTLE FURTHER ON THAT. I THINK IT DOES SEEM LIKE
SOMETHING WORTH ENTERTAINING. >> THANK YOU.
DIRECTOR STUART? >> THANK YOU.
I RECALL THAT WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT UP IN DECEMBER THAT WE DISCUSSED GRADING HOW IT REALLY IS A TEACHER BY TEACHER TEAM BY TEAM APPROACH. MY CONCERN IS THAT I DON'T THINK WE ADEQUATELY COMMUNICATED THAT TO THE PUBLIC. AND TO LET THEM KNOW HOW IT EXISTS AND THE FACT THAT THE ADMINISTRATORS THEN HAD ASKED US TO DOING THE STUDY ON IT. IT'S KEEPING FOLKS UP TO DATE ON IT. SO YOU DON'T AND UP WITH THE VOLCANO. YOU END UP WITH PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WORK ON IT.
WE MIGHT GIVE IT A LITTLE ÃÃ HEARING THE WORD UPDATING AND AWARDS HONOR. WE WILL PUSH THEM.
AT LEAST WE KNOW THEY ARE LISTENING TO US.
BECAUSE NOBODY, AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER LIKES TO BE IGNORED. FOR THOSE ÃÃ
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> THAT WAS QUITE A FEW BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. AS WE WRAPPING UP.
ONE PIECE I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT, WE DID JUST TWO GRADUATIONS. AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS IN PERSON AND THEY WERE FABULOUS.E DID OUR SMALLER GRADUATIONS TWO WEEKS AGO. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSITION THE ACADEMY HERE. ALWAYS CONVALESCE THIS IS A WORK THAT'S GOING ON IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.
ACTUALLY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ONLINE SCHOOL.
OUR FIRST GRADUATING CLASS. AGAIN, JUST SOME FANTASTIC STORIES OF THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND STAFF BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS WORK THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.
I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER AND HIGHLIGHT THAT.
OUR LARGE AND BIG GRADUATIONS OF 400+ STUDENTS THAT TOOK PLACE AT THE ALASKA ARENA AT YOU DOWN.
ALL FABULOUS. IT'S FECKLESS TO SEE STUDENTS BE ABLE TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND THEIR LIVES AS WELL AS THEIR STAFF AND COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE. AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN MANY OF OUR STUDENTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CALL OUT THAT THAT WAS FABULOUS DONE BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. COMMUNITIES AND ALL THE ABOVE TO BE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I HAVE
[01:45:04]
TO ADMIT. NOT HAVING BEEN OUT TO SCHOOLS MUCH IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THAT WAS A FABULOUS UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER WHY I SIT HERE.SO, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO.
>> TO THE END. I UNFORTUNATELY MISSED IT.
I WAS OUT WITH COVID AND I DID NOT WANT TO START ANOTHER PANDEMIC. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT REALLY BOTHERED ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE KIDS THAT I HAVE KNOWN AND PROGRAMS THAT THEY ARE AND COME TO FRUITION.
IT REALLY DEFINITION MILESTONE, FOR EVERY STUDENT ÃÃREGARDS OF WHICH GROUP, THE LARGE GROUPS AND SMALL GROUPS.
I MISSED IT, ESPECIALLY IN SMALL GROUPS WHERE YOU HAD SO MUCH CONTACT WITH THIS PARENTS AND FAMILIES.
IT WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT. I WILL GET OVER IT.
[LAUGHTER] I WILL COME BACK NEXT YEAR AND MAKE SURE I MAKE NO MORE OF THEM.
>> SO WITH THAT, I THINK WE ARE DONE WITH BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR WRAPPING UP THE SCHOOL YOU. I KNOW THAT THERE IS STILL END PIECES HERE. IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR TO WRAP UP. WITH THAT, WE MOVE ON TO REVIEW THE BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE. OUR NEXT MEETING IS JUNE 27.
OUR STUDY SESSION WILL BE AT FIVE AN HOUR BOARD MEETING WILL BE AT SEVEN. AND WITH THAT, I WILL ENTERTAIN
