CALL TO ORDER THE NOVEMBER 20 2023 LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL BOARD STUDY SESSION.
LATE THE RECORD REFLECT THAT MEMBERS ARE PRESENT AS WELL AS OUR STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
[1. Building Excellence Plan]
SIOBHAN E. THE FIRST TOPIC THIS AFTERNOON IS THE BUILDING EXCELLENCE PLAN.>> TONIGHT AS THE BOARD KNOWS WE ARE BRINGING A RECOMMENDATION FOR FUNDING PLAN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND TIMING.RELATED TO THIS PLAN WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF STUDY SESSIONS PROVIDED INFORMATION TO THE BOARD LAUNCHED OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE SO WE BRING THIS INFORMATION AS A MOVE AHEAD PLAN RELATED TO THE FACILITY NEEDS ACROSS THE DISTRICT KNOWING THAT WE CAN'T ACTUALLY ADDRESS EVERY NEED AT THE SAME TIME.
THIS PLAN AND RECOMMENDATION HAS SOME NUANCE TO IT. TONIGHT WE WANT TO PROVIDE A 15 TO 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION AND THEN PROVIDE FOR DISCUSSION, KEY MONDAY AS WE LAND ON WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE PLAN TO START FORMALIZING AND PUTTING IN PLACE.
WITH THAT I WILL HAND THIS OVER TO BARBARA AND BRIAN. >> WE HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE BOARD SINCE LAST MARCH WITH AN ONGOING FEBRUARY 22 LEVY BUT OUR LAST MAJOR UPDATE WAS LAST MARCH AND RECENTLY IN SEPTEMBER. TONIGHT WE WILL BE SHARING A PRESENTATION AND REVIEWING THE RECOMMENDATION REGARDING OUR FACILITIES AND FUNDING STRATEGY. WE WILL LEAVE TIME FOR DISCUSSION.
THE OUTCOME IS THE PLANNING FOR FACILITIES AND CAPACITY AND RECOMMENDED BY A NEW STRATEGY.
MR. REMINDER, THE ORIGINAL THREE PHASE BUILDING EXCELLENCE PLAN HAD A LEVY THAT WAS PASSED IN 2022. THERE WAS A BOND IN 2024 AND A RENEWAL IN 2028.
WE HAVE SHARED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS HOW THAT HAS BEEN REVISED.
REALLY TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING THE REVISED RECOMMENDATION TO THE PHASE 2 OF THE BUILDING EXCELLENCE PLAN. PART OF THE OVERALL STRATEGY AND PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY WE LAUNCHED THE FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. WE RELAUNCH THAT AND IT WILL BE AN ONGOING COMMITTEE. WE'VE HAD TWO MEETINGS TO DATE AND WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT GROUP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARENTS WITH STAFF AS PART OF THAT MEETING.
AT OUR FIRST MEETING AND AGAIN I AM HEARING THAT MEETING WITH BRIAN.
WE ASKED THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AT THAT FIRST MEETING TO PROVIDE INPUT ON THE INTEREST RELATED TO THE NEXT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION AND SO I WANT TO GO OVER WITH YOU THE PRIORITY VALUES THAT THE COMMITTEE SHARED WITH US. THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON WANTING TO ENSURE OUR PROJECTS WERE PRIORITIZED SAFELY AND SUSTAINABILITY, EQUITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE BEING ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR TAXPAYERS AND VOTERS.
THEY ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DISTRICT IS BEING EFFICIENT AND MAKING SURE OUR PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER . QUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY MAKING SURE THAT WHEN WE DO GO OUT TO OUR VOTERS THAT WE ARE EXPLAINING WHY WE NEED WHAT WE NEED AND BEING THOUGHTFUL OF THE ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT IMPACT THE
COMMUNITY. >> TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING A HIGH-LEVEL SUMMARY OF OUR
[00:05:03]
RECOMMENDATION. WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE AGENT FACILITIES WE HAVE SHARED STORIES ABOUT THOSE FACILITIES AND THE LAST STUDY SESSION. WE ARE RECOMMENDING A SIX YEAR CONSTRUCTION LEVY. THE AMOUNT OF THAT LEVY IS APPROXIMATELY $621.4 MILLION.IT MAINTAINS A SIMPLE TAX RATE AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE DEFINITION OF A STABLE TAX RATE. IT WOULD BE ON THE NOVEMBER OF 2020 BALLOT.
AS OPPOSED TO SPECIAL ELECTION THAT HAPPENS IN FEBRUARY. THE SIX YEAR COLLECTION WOULD BEGIN IN 2026 THEY ENLARGED THE MAIN CAMPUS AND THAT FUNDING MEASURE DID NOT ALLOW US TO UPGRADE THE POOL AND FIELDHOUSE. THE ESTIMATED COSTS ARE BASED ON THE ORIGINAL OPENING DATE AND SO WE KNOW THAT THE PREDESIGNED WORK IS GOING TO REFINE THOSE ESTIMATES AND THE LEVY STRATEGY DOES TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO GET THOSE PROJECTS OPEN SO IT WILL BE BASED ON THE PREDESIGNED WORK SO WE KNOW THAT WE WILL BE REFINING THOSE ESTIMATES IN THE SPRING AND WILL COME BACK ON THE TIMELINE TO SHOW WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. THE 621 MILLION AGAIN WE ADD ESCALATION TO THAT CONTINGENCY
BECAUSE WE KNOW THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION DOES CONTINUE TO ESCALATE AND CHILL.>> THE FUNDING STRATEGY IS GOING TO BE A SIX YEAR CONSTRUCTION LEVY. IT WILL MAINTAIN A STABLE TAX RATE BECAUSE THE LEVY DOES NOT IN DEPTH THE DISTRICT SO WITH THE BOND YOU ARE BASICALLY BORROWING OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD TO SEE YOUR PAIN INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL AND WITH THE LEVY YOU ARE COLLECTING AS THOSE FUNDS COME IN. THE COLLECTIONS WOULD RUN FROM 2026 TO 2031. AS I MENTIONED IT ALLOWS US TO COMPLETE PROJECTS BY 2031 AND 2032. THE LEVY HAS THE SAME MAJORITY REQUIREMENTS AS ARE OF THEIR LEVY MEASURES. IN PHASE 3 AND BEYOND WE WILL TRANSITION TO AN ONGOING CONSTRUCTION LEVY RENEWAL FOR ONGOING CAPITAL WHAT IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR TIMING IN THE COLLECTION.? WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT PHASE 2 BE DONE ON NOVEMBER 2024 ELECTIONS. IT REDUCES OUR ELECTION COSTS OVER A SPECIAL ELECTION.
DOING THE FUNDING MEASURE IN NOVEMBER ALSO ENSURES BROAD PARTICIPATION.
THERE IS TYPICALLY A HIGHER TURNOUT THAN A HIGHER ELECTION. AND THEN THE COLLECTION WOULD BE TYPICALLY WHEN YOU DO A FEBRUARY ELECTION YOU ARE COLLECTING THE NEXT YEAR SO THIS REALLY WOULD BE THE SAME TIMELINE AS A FEBRUARY ELECTION IF WE WERE TO DO A FEBRUARY 25 YOU WOULD START YOUR ELECTION IN 26 SO WE WILL BE DOING THE TIMING IN NOVEMBER AND IT CONTINUES TO COLLECT AND 26. IT PROVIDES AND ALLOWS US TO COLLECT THE FUNDS THAT ARE
NEEDED FOR THE PROJECTS IN THE SIX YEAR TIME. >> WE WILL PROVIDE SOME DETAILS. THERE ARE NUMBERS COMING DON'T WORRY THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE FUNDING RECOMMENDATION READ IT IS A LEVY FOR $621 MILLION. I HAVE UPDATED THESE NUMBERS
[00:10:03]
BASED ON ESTIMATED ESTIMATES THE PREVIOUS IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER WERE HELD CONSTANT FOR 2022 NUMBERS. WE HAVE A PRELIMINARY AV ESTIMATE THAT WILL BE PRETTY CLOSE BUT WE WON'T HAVE THE FINAL NUMBERS UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY.WHAT THIS FUNDING RECOMMENDATION DOES IS THE CURRENT TAX RATE FOR CONSTRUCTION SO BOTH BONDS AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED LEVIES ARE CURRENTLY $1.18.
THIS NEW LEVY WOULD IN 2026 V AT $1.38. ABOUT A $0.20 INCREASE.
IT WOULD COST THE TAXPAYER WITH A HOME VALUED OF $1 MILLION ABOUT $200 PER YEAR.
IN 2027 AND WOULD INCREASE ANOTHER $0.10 SO ANOTHER HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR AND MAINTAIN A LEVEL RATE. THE COLLECTION RUNS THROUGH 3031 AND PROJECTS GO BETWEEN
SEVEN AND 32. >> THIS IS TENTATIVELY THE ESTIMATED OPENING DATE FOR THE PROJECTS IN THE ORDER OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE BASED ON CASH FLOW.
WHEN THEY GET DOWN THE DESIGN WORK WE REDEFINE THOSE NUMBERS. ALCOTT AND ELEMENTARY WOULD BE THE FIRST IN 2027 AND THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL FIELDS AND POOL IN 2028 AND THEN COME AGAIN IN 29 AND EVERGREEN IN 2031. SMITH WOULD BE UPDATED IN EITHER 2031 OR FALL OF 32 AGAIN
DEPENDING ON CASH FLOW. >> THIS SHOWS THE COLLECTIONS PER YEAR FOR THIS LEVY AND SO THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LEVY WOULD BE ABOUT $32.9 MILLION IN THE LAST YEAR WOULD BE HUNDRED AND 72.9 AND YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF WHY DOES IT INCREASE SO MUCH EACH YEAR.
THE TOTAL WITH ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION LEVY AND BOND REALLY IS REPLACING THOSE CONSTRUCTION LEVIES AND BONDS. THIS DOES DOLLARS INCREASE IT MEANS OTHER DOLLARS ARE BEING PAID OFF WHERE THE LEVIES ARE EXPIRING. THE KEY MUCH OF COLLECTION WOULD BE $621 MILLION. THIS IS WHAT THE SPECIFIC LEVY WOULD LOOK LIKE.
THOSE ARE THE AMOUNTS AND IN THE RATE FOR THE SPECIFIC SIX-YEAR LEVY ON THE RIGHT.
>> BARBARA IS THIS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THE BALLOT? > THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE ON THE BALLOT.ASK FOR THE OTHER SIDE HE SHOWED $1.18 OF THAT WAS THE WILL SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND THIS IS SPECIFIC TO THE LEVY.
>> IT'S STILL A DOLLAR 18 OR DOLLARS $0.38. BOX $1.19 AND THEN TO A DOLLAR
AND $0.48. >> THE SCHEDULE MIGHT HELP AND I KNOW IT'S HARD BECAUSE I CAN'T READ THOSE NUMBERS FAR AWAY. ANYWAY.
THE BLUE PART OF THE BAR IS THE CURRENT EP. LEVY.
THE BLUE PART IS THE TECHNOLOGY CAPITAL LOVELY. THOSE ARE RENEWED EVERY FOUR YEARS AND THE NEXT RENEWAL IS IN 2026.THE DARKER ORANGE OR GOLD PART OF THE BAR IS CURRENT CONSTRUCTION LEVIES. WE HAVE ONE IN 2019 THAT EXPIRES IN 2022 EXPIRES IN
[00:15:12]
2028. RATE PART OF THE BAR IS THE BOND THAT WE HAVE AND YOU CANSEE THAT OVER TIME THOSE ARE DECLINING. >> JUST NEXT STEPS I WANT TO GO OVER A TIMELINE WITH YOU. OF WORK THAT WE NEED TO BE DONE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT NOVEMBER FOR A NOVEMBER AND ELECTION. ELECTION WOULD BE NOVEMBER 5, 2024.
WE START ON THE LEFT AGAIN SO AS I MENTIONED TO BRIAN AND HIS TEAM THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE PREDESIGNED WORK AND SO THEY NEED TO FINALIZE. THAT PREDESIGNED WORK WILL HELP US GET CLOSER TO THE ESTIMATES AND FINALIZE THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT AND THE TAX IMPLICATIONS. WE WILL BE FINALIZING THE AV NUMBERS AND PROJECT ATTACK SCENARIOS. OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WILL WORK ON THE COMMUNICATION PLAN AND SO IN JUNE IT WOULD BE THE LATEST THAT WE PROBABLY WOULD WANT TO HAVE A BOARD MEETING WHERE WE WOULD BRING THE 2024 LEVY RESOLUTION AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD FOR OFFICIAL ACTION ON THE RESOLUTION. NUMBER SIX IS THE LAST DAY TO
FILE WITH THE COUNTY FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. >> A COUPLE OF THINGS I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS AWARENESS OF. ONE IS THE TERMS WITH THE TAX RATE. A LEVEL TAX RATE WITH ME THAT WE ARE TARGETING A SPECIFIC RATE AND WE DON'T GO ABOUT THAT. MANY OF THE CAMPAIGNS WERE GROUNDED MEANING WE WERE GOING OVER A SPECIFIC TAX RATE. WE KNOW THE VALUE OF ADDRESSING THESE PROJECTS AND WE STARTED THINKING ABOUT BEING MINDFUL OF THE IMPACT OF THE RATE.
IF WE DID THAT WE WOULD SPIKE THE TAX RATES WE WOULD SEE A HUGE INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE SAID TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT ECONOMIC FACTOR BUT THE FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE TALKING ABOUT AND THINKING ABOUT HOW DO WE WORK THE PROJECTS INTO A SIX YEAR CAPITAL LEVY VERSUS GOING OUT FOR A SIX YEAR CAPITAL LEVY FOR A PORTION OF THESE PROJECTS.
WE ACCOMMODATE THE FINAL PROJECT IT AFFECTS THE DAY-TO-DAY LIVES.
AS WE TALK ABOUT STABLE AND WE ARE THOUGHTFUL TO HOW THINGS PLAY OUT.
I THINK WE USE THE TERM DB BUT I'M NOT THINK WE'VE USED THE TERM ASSESSED VALUATION.
SSESSED VALUATION IS THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE PROPERTY WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IT'S
[00:20:06]
THE ASSESSED VALUATION. IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER HERE WHERE WE SEE THE PREDESIGNED WORK COMPLETED WE FINALIZE THE TOTAL COST OF THE TAX IMPLICATIONS.THE TOTAL COST AS WE WORK THROUGH THE DESIGN WILL GIVE US A MUCH BETTER ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE ACTUAL COST OF THESE PROJECTS ARE SHOWING YOU TONIGHT IS OUR BEST ESTIMATE TODAY. IT IS A GOING TO BE AS DOUBLED WITH THE COST OF THE PROJECT.
THIS GIVES US THE TOTAL COST OF WHAT THE OVERALL LEVY WOULD BE WHICH COULD THEN HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STABLE TAX RATE THAT WE WOULD THEN FINALIZE THE OVERALL RECOMMENDATION. THIS IS AN A GOOD MARGIN OF ERROR WITH WHAT WE BELIEVE THE
COST WOULD BE AND THE TAX APPLICATION. >> I BELIEVE WE ARE READY FOR
QUESTIONS. >> CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE ONE.
I'M CAN ASK FOR THE CHART THAT SHOWS THE CITY MEASURES. >> IT'S THIS ONE.
IT'S A BAR CHART. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND THE FUNDING
RATIONALE. >> WE CAN'T SPREAD IT OUT OVER SEVEN YEARS IT'S SIX YEARS OF
COLLECTION. >> CORRECT THEY COULD BE ONE YEAR OR FOUR YEARS UP TO SIX
YEARS. >> LOOKING AT THE CHART WE COLLECT DIFFERENT AMOUNTS EACH YEAR IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THE RATES STABLE. IN LOOKING AT 2025 THERE REALLY IS NO WAY TO COLLECT ANYTHING OR ANY MEANINGFUL AMOUNT. IF WE WERE TO START COLLECTION IN 2025 WE WOULD NEED TO SEE A RATE INCREASE OF $0.30-$0.40 IN 2025 TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT THE
620 MILLION. >> OR YOU CUT THE TAX RATES STABLE ANNUAL NEGLECT 450.>>
WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO TAKE A COUPLE OF THE PROJECTS ON. >> I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE 1 AND
A HALF PROJECTS OFF WITH EACH IS CHALLENGING. >> ONE LAST QUESTION WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO ARTICULATE THIS.I GUESS MY INTEREST IS UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE ARE AT THE END OF THE SIX YEAR IN TERMS OF TAX RATE. WE HAVE OTHER PRODUCTS TO ADDRESS AFTER 2031. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE AT? MY INTEREST IS IN PART OF THIS TRAGEDY IS TO HAVE A CONSISTENT ONGOING LEVY STRATEGY AND WE ARE JUST CONSISTENTLY FUNDING WHAT WE NEED TO REPLACE. DOES THIS PUT US IN A POSITION
TO BE THERE AFTER IT EXPIRES? >> IT DOES. >> IF YOU LOOK AT THE 2031 BAR THE YELLOW PORTION THAT THE DOLLAR AND $0.26. THAT WILL EXPIRE.
[00:25:05]
WE WILL THEN NEED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AROUND WHAT IS THE ONGOING LEVY AMOUNT AS YOU THINK ABOUT THE COST OF THE FIFTH HIGH SCHOOL THAT'S ONE OF THE INTERESTS THE BOARD HAS WHICH IS IF YOU GO THIS ROUTE ARE WE JUST PUTTING ON THE SHELF WITH THE CONFERENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL. IF WE RENEW THE LEVEL AT A DOLLAR $0.26 YOU CAN FIND IT INABOUT 2 AND A HALF YEARS. RE>> I'M A LITTLE BIT LOST AS TO WHAT THE SELECTION IS.
THIS IS AN ELECTION FOR THE COMMITTEE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION
LEVY? WHAT IS THIS? >> ONE OF THE THINGS ONLY THE BOARD CAN AUTHORIZE THIS VERSE TO GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH A LEVY OR A BOND. WHAT TONIGHT IS THE BEST THINKING AROUND WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO THE BOARD. THEY SHOULD ADOPT SO THAT IN THE NOVEMBER 2024 BALLOT ONE OF THEM WILL SAY LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE COMMUNITY CAN SAY YES, SIR NUMBER AND SO THAT'S WHAT TONIGHT IS ABOUT. IF THE BOARD IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT AND WE WORK THROUGH ADDITIONAL PROCESSES AND SORTS OF LEGALLY REQUIRED TIMELINES THAT WE HAVE TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ON THE BALLOT.
TONIGHT IS ABOUT A LEVY THAT WILL FUND THESE PROJECTS. >> THE WAY THAT I INTERPRET THIS IS THAT THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION WE WOULD NOT BE PURSUING AN ADDITIONAL
CONSTRUCTION LEVY UNTIL 2030. >> THAT IS ACCURATE. HOW THE PROPOSED SIX-YEAR CONSTRUCTION LEVY IS DEVELOPED WE ARE USING AVAILABLE CAPACITY WITH THE CURRENT RATE KNOWING THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN YEAR ONE AND TWO. WE WOULD GO AND SEEK AN
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL LEVY TO HAVE AN ONGOING CONSTRUCTION FUND. >> DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THIS SINCE WE STARTED THE JOURNEY WITH OUR CURRENT CONSTRUCTION MONEY WHEN IT MAKES SENSE TO CONTINUE THAT A SHE WOULD NEED TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THAT WOULD BE NEW LIVING HERE.
[00:30:41]
>> THE DISTORTED TO DO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION LEVY. THERE IS NO CAPACITY WITHIN THE RATE TO DO THAT. CONSTRUCTION LEVY THAT YOU WOULD GO OUT WITH.
>> THE RECOMMENDATION FOR A $621 MILLION LEVY IS SO THAT THE PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED IN THAT IF WE WERE INCLUDED TO GO OUT FOR A $400 MILLION LEVY THAT'S THE CAPACITY THAT'S
AVAILABLE. >> PART OF IT IS THE CAMPAIGN AROUND THESE.
>> THESE PROJECTS REALLY ARE DISPERSED ACROSSTHE DISTRICT AS OPPOSED TO PUTTING THEM OFF .
>> ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THE SEATTLE STRATEGY? >> WHAT I WILL SAY IS BECAUSE WE WOULD GO OUT THREE YEARS INTO THE LAST CONSTRUCTION LEVY WE HAVE OVERLAPPING CONSTRUCTION LEVIES WHICH IS SEATTLE STRATEGY. AT THE END YOU GO FOR ANOTHER SIX YEARS IT'S AN INTERESTING TO SEE IT IS TRUE THAT YOU ARE TIGHTENING THE ABILITY.
EXITS THE DECISION TO BE MADE AND THE REALITY THAT I WOULD JUST POINT OUT THAT LOOKS LIKE
THE STRATEGY FOR WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING. >> WE HAD THE LAST YEAR COLLECTION WHICH IS 2025. THIS IS WHERE THAT ROOM AND RENEWAL OF THE 2019 LEVY COMES
INTO PLAY. >> IS IT FAIR TO SAY BECAUSE OF OUR STARTING COLLECTIONS HERE RATHER THAN 25. WE HAVE MORE CAPACITY ON THE BACKEND ON THE FRONT END BECAUSE OF THOSE EXPIRING MOMENTS. ACCESS ISN'T PERFECT BUT WE STARTED IN 25. WE END HERE SO WE CAN COLLECT ABOUT 448.
WE HAVE TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE LEVY RATE PER THOUSAND.
IT'S STILL A HEAVY LEFT IF YOU JUST LOOK AT OUR ELECTIONS THAT OCCURRED CURRENTLY.THERE WERE
[00:35:03]
SEVERAL LEVEES THAT DID NOT MAKE 50% AND SO IT'S NOT EASY BUT I DO THINK FROM A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE IT WILL SET THE DISTRICT UP WELL IN OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS OUR FACILITY MEETINGS. IT WILL BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY.THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE AND I KNOW I ASKED YOU DIRECTLY AND I PUT THIS OUT THERE IS YOU GEOS OR L GEO SO SPEAK TO THOSE USING THE RIGHT ACRONYM. ONE OF THE TOOLS IN OUR TOOLBOX THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE WITH OUR 2019 LEVY AND WE USE IN JUNE FOR THE 2022 LEVY IS BECAUSE PROJECTS NEED TO BE BUILT FASTER THAN THE COLLECTIONS IN THE SIX YEAR COLLECTION COMING IN WE USE A TOOL CALLED LIMITED OBLIGATION BOND.
THAT IS WHEN HE USES THE SCYLLA TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, BOARD AUTHORIZATION FOR THAT YOU ARE LIMITED TO ONLY USING IT FOR ADDITIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, PROPERTY, PURCHASES. WHAT THEY CONSIDERED GENERAL CAPITAL PROJECTS.
IT IS LIMITED SO WE USE IT IN A LIMITED BASIS IN 2019 AND WE USED IT FOR ADDITIONS ON HER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.YOU'RE USING A DIFFERENT THE ADDITIONS IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOR THE
OPENING IN THE FALL. >> I THINK THIS IS GREAT WORK AND I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT LIST. IN PARTICULAR THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO FUND THE PROJECTS.
WHEN WE LAST RAN ON THIS THE OPTIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED AT A TIME MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS A REAL CHALLENGE. TWO OF HER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE FEEDING INTO IT.
IT'S NOT JUST THE POOL FOR HIGH SCHOOL IT IS A COMMUNITY ASSET AND IT'S ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WITH SWIM LESSONS FOR YOUR KIDS. THE ONLY QUESTION I'M STILL WRESTLING WITH IS AROUND THE TIMING. YOU SHOWED US SOME DATA
[00:40:15]
GENERALLY THE MEASURES HAVE SUCCESS FOR TURNOUT ELECTIONS. MY QUESTION AROUND THAT IS IT SUPPOSED QUESTION IN A COMMENT. I FEAR THE CONCERN AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW THEYPOTENTIALLY LOOK AT THE FUNDING MEASURE. >> WE WOULD HAVE UNTIL WE
ACTUALLY FILE WITH THE COUNTY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. >> THE FILING DATE DEADLINE IS
EARLY DECEMBER. >> AND SUPPORTIVE OF THAT RIGHT NOW.
>> I'VE ALSO SURE THAT AN UNDERSTANDING TOO. WE SHOULD USE THE DUE DILIGENCE AND LOOK AT PREVIOUS TRENDS. I CAN'T REALLY ARTICULATE ONE ANOTHER, HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO
ME. >> IT'S A VERY CONSERVATIVE AV CONCERT PERSPECTIVE WITH ABOUT 5%. WE TYPICALLY SEE THE GROWTH HIGHER THAN THAT.
THE RATE DECLINES. >> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT ON A MACRO LEVEL.
WITH THE TAXPAYER THAT BURDEN IMPACTS THEM IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN OUR
CITIES. >> OUR TECHNOLOGY IS EVERY FOUR YEARS SO IT WOULD BE 2026
[00:45:49]
WITH COLLECTION STARTING IN 2027 AND I WOULD BE IN 2030 WITH COLLECTION STARTING IN2031. >> JULY 20, 1930 WE WOULD BE GOING OUT FOR ANOTHER?
>> YES ON THE 2030 BALLOT WITH OUR EP OH AND TECHNOLOGY IF WE WANTED TO ALSO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION LEVY THERE WE WOULD RENEW THAT BUT THE COLLECTION WOULD NOT START
UNTIL 2032. REX UNDERSTOOD THANK YOU. >> AS WE TALK ABOUT INFORMATIONAL CAMPAIGN IT'S THE INFORMATIONAL CAMPAIGN AROUND THE EP NANOTECHNOLOGY.
>> WE WOULD HAVE THE OPTION IN 2032 INCLUDE THE ONGOING CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION AS OPPOSED
TO THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND 31. >> JUST TO TOTALLY CONNECT THE DOTS HERE THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO RUN. WE COULD RENEW THE CONSTRUCTION LEVY THE SAME TIME AND BASIL GET ON A TRACK HALFWAY. REX AT THAT POINT WE WOULD SAY WE WANT TO GET THEM ON A THREE YEAR SO EVERY THREE YEARS WE GO OUT FOR A LEVY EXTERIOR ARE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO US.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE OPTIONS AND WHENEVER THEY TOOK THAT INTO
ACCOUNT. >> THIS IS A PROCESS AND THE FIRST THING WE BRING TO THE BOARD IS NEVER THE RIGHT THING. IT'S THROUGH CONVERSATION THAT WE LAND ON SOMETHING THAT WE DO
FEEL IS THE BEST NEXT STEP FOR THE DISTRICT. >> THE NEXT TOPIC FOR THIS
[2. High School Student Day Evaluation Update]
AFTERNOON IS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DAY EVALUATION. >> WE HAVE SUPERINTENDENT SCOTT LEADING THIS PROCESS FOR US. TONIGHT SCOTT WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE WITH SOME OF THE DATA. THE TEAM LOOKING AT IT AND WHERE THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS.
WE WANTED TO JUMP IN AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT'S NOT WHERE THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW. KEEP TO SOME POINT TONIGHT LET US SOLVE THE PROBLEM TODAY BECAUSE IT IS A COMPLEX ISSUE. RESIDENT TROY IS THE WAY REPRESENTATIVE ON THE HIGH
[00:50:19]
SCHOOL DAY COMMITTEE AND SO I APPRECIATE THE BOARD PARTICIPATING IN THOSE AS WELL.X ACTUALLY INVITED THE PRESIDENT TO THE MEETING SO SHE GOT TO COME.
>> IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT. NEXT WE TOOK A LEFT TURN INTO SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. WHEN PRESIDENT TROY AND I WERE TALKING AT THE MEETING LAST THURSDAY I WAS ASKING WHAT I SHOULD BE SHARING AND SHE SAID WE NEED AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THIS PROCESS. YOU'RE GOING TO BE VERY TEMPTED TO DIG INTO THE DATA FOR THAT.
IN THE PORT DOCKS AND SHARED THE FULL HUNDRED AND 27 SLIDE DECKS WITH THE DATAVIEW IN IT.
MOST OF IT CAME FROM THE DASHBOARD. IT'S CLEARLY A POLICY CONNECTION AROUND INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS. SINCE WE TOOK A LEFT TURN THINKING ABOUT 11.8 FOR THE INNOVATION IT'S A MINDSET THAT MANY OF US GO INTO THIS PROCESS WITH I WILL SPEAK MORE TO THIS. WE LOOK AT WHO IS BENEFITING AND HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE BENEFIT. THE COMMITTEE HAS STARTED TO WRESTLE WITH A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S ABOUT WHAT WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS SHIFT. YOU SEE THAT HAPPENING FOR SOME KIDS AND OTHERS HAPPENING FOR DIFFERENT KITS. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE REALLY STARTING TO WRESTLE WITH. WE SHARE SO THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DATA WE HAVE THE FREEDOM GOING INTO IT. IT STIMULATED IN TWO WAYS AND ONE WAS THROUGH THE WORK LAST YEAR WITH THE CONCERNS CONSIDER EXPRESSING AROUND THE WORKLOAD AND THE OTHER WAS AROUND THE FINANCIAL APPLICATIONS. WHAT'S WE ARE USING AN INTEREST-BASED PROCESS THROUGH THIS WORK WHICH IS THE SAME PROCESS FEES AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH OUR TEACHERS.
[00:55:08]
I'M SURE WHEN WE DO THIS AND WE GO THROUGH TO START LISTING OUR INTERESTS MOST OF THEM WILL BE SHARED. THE OTHER PIECE THAT I'M PRESSING ON THE COMMITTEE IS NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE STORY IS GOOD OR BAD OR POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.THE DATA JUST AS DATA. IT SAYS WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IT'S NOT MEANT TO HAVE A VALUE APPLIED TO IT IN THAT WAY. WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF NOT DOING THAT ALSO.
THESE ARE THE STATEMENTS THAT I FOUND IN THAT PRESENTATION FROM DECEMBER OF 2017 WHEN I MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE IT. MORE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THROUGH ELECTIVES AND MORE OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS THROUGH ELECTIVES. MORE OPTIONS WITH FEWER COMPLEX AND SCHEDULING. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE CLASSES WE WANTED TO TAKE.
WE HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PREPARE FOR COLLEGE CAREERS IN THE FUTURE.
I MADE THIS FOR THE FIRST MEETING. IT WAS AN INTERESTING ISSUE.
WE REQUIRE THE TWO YEARS OF WORLD LANGUAGE TO ALIGN OURSELVES AND THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BEFORE THE STATE DID THAT. AGAIN, NOT GOOD OR BAD.
JUST AS. >> I MAKE SURE IT WASN'T ONLY THAT.
IN TERMS OF ACCUMULATION OF CREDIT THE GREEN SHOW IS WHERE THEY ADDED AND THE RED IS ACTUALLY WHERE THEY WERE TAKING AWAY. JUST FOR THE COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WORK TOGETHER RATED LISTING THINGS AND THERE'S A LOT.
SOMETIMES THE IMPACT IS NOT EQUITABLE BETWEEN GROUPS OF KIDS AND GROUPS OF STAFF SO THE COMMITTEE IS TO CONSIDER THAT. OBVIOUSLY THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WE CAN'T DECIDE THAT WE ARE GOING BACK TO CREDIT FROM A FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT WE KNOW THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN THIS OVER TIME AS WELL. ORGANIZATION CAPACITY FOR CHANGE IS ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS WE TALK ABOUT. IT WILL BE SOME PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AROUND THE CHANGE
[01:00:06]
ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE SCHOOLS ARE DOING SOME SORT OF MODIFIED SCHEDULE.I'VE DEFINED THE SCOPE OF WORK BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS. WE UNDERSTAND THE SEVEN.
IMPACT SO NOT EVALUATING GOOD OR BAD. DOING THAT ANALYSIS FIRST BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE PLACE WHERE WE MIGHT START LOOKING AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS OR MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. WE ARE THEY ARE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT ON OUR KIDS, OUR STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY. DOING THAT THROUGH DATA TO START WITH IS WHEN WE GATHER MORE PERCEPTIONAL DATA SO WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY TALKED TO KIDS. STAFF IS ON BOARD WITH THE SHIFT AND OTHER STAFF LOVES WHAT THEY HAVE NOW. I SHARED MOST OF WHAT I DID ON THE BOARD STUDY SESSION EXCEPT THAT BINARY CHOICE WITH THE COMMITTEE IN TERMS OF A SET THAT WE DID WITH YOU AROUND THE HISTORY AND PULLING IN SOME OF THE INFORMATION. WE UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AFTER WE MADE THAT SHIFT. I'M TRYING TO ALIGN OUR MEETING STRUCTURE WITH HOW WE ASK LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES FOR EACH OF THESE.
IT IS STRETCHING ME. I PUT A TIMELINE TOGETHER THAT ORIGINALLY WAS VERY LINEAR.
IT IS NOT PERFECTLY LINEAR ANYMORE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES SO I TOLD THE COMMITTEE WHILE I HOPE TO BE HERE AT A CERTAIN PLACE AT THE END OF THE YEAR THEY START TO MAKE SOME OPTIONS. IF THAT HAPPENS AND WE HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES TO WORK THAT PROCESS. YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH THE OUTCOME AT THE END YOUR PROCESS SHOULD BE DEFENDABLE SUSPENDING THE TIME TO DEEP AND DIG DEEP AND GAUGE THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE EVERYTHING PUBLIC SO I AM PUBLISHING THE MINUTES LIKE I DID LAST YEAR. YELLOW BOX IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
[01:05:11]
IT'S VERY EARLY IN THIS PROCES . WE UNDERSTAND WHAT CURRENTLY IS IN THE TEST THAT WE ARE DEFINING THAT REALLY IS WHAT WE DO ABOUT THE SEVEN.IT COULD BE NOTHING. IT COULD BE LET'S SHIFT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS TO A COLLEGE TOURNAMENT. QUICKSET OBVIOUSLY DID HAVE BIG IMPLICATIONS BUT THAT REALLY IS
OUR TASK. >> WE HAVE A FAIRLY FRED BROAD-BASECOMMUNITY BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PULL THOSE OUT OF THE CONVERSATION WE TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE OPTIONS MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND EXACTLY HOW WE GOT THERE COULD BE JUST FOR PRACTICE OR LET'S DO SOME SORT OF MODIFIED SCHEDULE OR MOVE TO A COLLEGE BASE HIGH SCHOOL. THE REASON WE ARE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY ENTER THESE NEGOTIATION IN THESE PROCESSES WITH PREDETERMINED OUTCOMES BASED ONTHEIR OWN EXPERIENCE . I KNOW WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS THE PRESSURE WAS TO FIND BUDGET SAVINGS BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG TICKET ITEM AND THAT STILL HAS SOME PRESSURE BUT THE INTEREST IS IN IN JUST SAVING MONEY.
THE INTEREST IS IN HOW WE HAVE A BETTER SYSTEM THAT HAS MODERN NEEDS OF KIDS EVEN IF WE DON'T SAVE THE MONEY COULD WE RECOUP SUBMENUS THE OTHERS SO THAT'S A DIFFERENT TIME.
CREATED THIS FUN DIAGRAM AND SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE IS REALLY WHERE THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS. INTERESTINGLY AS TO WHY. WE LOOK AT WHAT OPPORTUNITIES
[01:10:14]
BASED ON THAT LIST THAT WE SHOWED EARLIER WERE AND WHERE REALIZED AND WHAT NEEDS MITIGATING AND THAT MAY BE THE WRONG WORD BUT WHAT WE NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY RECOMMENDATION ORSOLUTION . IT SHOULDN'T BE A ZERO-SUM GAME OR WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TAKE AWAY FROM ONE TO GIVE TO THE OTHER. WE SHOULD LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS THAT HONOR THE BENEFIT BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE PLACES WHERE THE BENEFIT IS BEING REALIZED IN THE SAME WAY AND BOOSTS THAT WITHOUT PULLING DOWN THE OTHERS.THIS MAY BE A BAD CAREER MOVE. I WANTED TO GET THE COMMITTEE THINKING ABOUT A DATA SET WITHOUT USING ANY HIGH-STAKES DATA. MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE A LOCK OF DUCKS THAT SOME REASON I JUST ADORE AND I USE THAT IS INSTAGRAM POST THAT WENT VIRAL AS A DATA SET. MY WIFE HAS BEEN RECORDING THE VIEWS AND THE LIFE EVERYDAY SWIM. I DUCKS TRYING TO GET OUT OF SLEEP DUCKS WERE HARMED.
INDEXERS IS INTERESTING TO SEE THE STUDENTS LOOK AT HOW INSTAGRAM WORKS.
I KNOW IT'S A PLACE THAT YOU PUT PICTURES OF MY DUCKS. THERE'S A LOT OF CONJECTURE OCCURRING IN THE FALLOUT BETWEEN NOVEMBER 4 FROM 7000 TO OVER 80,000 IN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS SO THERE THROWING SOMEBODY JUST TO PICK IT UP AND SHARED IT FOR ONE OF THEM MAY BE TRUE WE DON'T KNOW BUT THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE EXERCISE. THE DATA SET SOMETHING HAPPENS BECAUSE THERE WAS WHERE THE DUCKS SLID OUT OF THE POND. THE OTHER THING I NOTICED IS IF YOU LOOK AT THE SLOPE OF IT WAS SIGNIFICANT.LATE LIKES TO POINT OUT WEREN'T AS EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS THE VIEW WHILE LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE WATCHING THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE ALTHOUGH WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A RELATION WE DID NOT INTENTIONALLY IN FRONT OF A GOOD CONVERSATION. EVERYTHING THAT THE STUDENTS WERE NAMING PROBABLY HAD SOME THAT THEY WERE NOT ANY OF THE SINGLE REASON NOR DID WE HAVE DATA THAT WOULD TELL US.
" THEY HAD A LOT OF FOLLOWERS. IT WAS AN EXERCISE AND WE WILL HAVE TO DIG DEEPER THAN WHAT WE SEE IN A SINGLE SETTING PLUS TO LET ME WORK MY DUCKS INTO A PROFESSIONAL SETTING.
THE BUSINESS RULES THAT I COLLECTED A COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL.
BECAUSE THE SCHEDULES ARE LARGELY DRIVEN AND YOU DON'T SEE AS MUCH VARIABILITY THEY ARE INCLUDED IN SOME OF THE DATA BUT NOT WHEN I LOOK AT AP COURSE WORK.
I THINK IT TEST LIMITS 98 PERCENT OF THE KIDS AND ICS IS PROBABLY SIMILAR.
IT DOESN'T HELP ME TO SEE VARIABILITY IN DATA. ANY GROUP THAT HAD LESS THAN 10 I IS THEY DIDN'T WANT ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE AND I WAS COGNIZANT THAT THEY LET ME FEEL THAT WAY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE VOICES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CONVERSATION AS THEY ARE INCLUDED I TRIED NOT TO LIE WITH STATISTICS.
[01:15:01]
I TRIED TO KEEP THE SCALES THE SAME. WE TRY TO USE THE SAME GROUPS EVERY TIME SO WE HAD A GROUP OF STUDENTS IDENTIFIED AS LOW INCOME WITH EDUCATION.AND ON THE FEDERAL GRACE GROUPS. I GAVE THE DATA SET FOR EACH OF THOSE PIECE THAT WE LOOKED AT. WE DID COLLECT DATA LAST YEAR AROUND THE WORKLOAD BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IT WAS FREQUENT ENOUGH THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT. IN 2016 THROUGH 2024 THE RACIAL IDENTITY CHANGED.
OUR ASIAN AND BLACK POPULATION OF STUDENTS HAS DOUBLED. BLACK STARTED OFF SIMONE AND IT HAS DOUBLED.ASIAN HAS DONE THE SAME THING. YOU SEE A DECLINE IN THE POPULATION WITH STUDENTS IDENTIFIED AS WEIGHT. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT THE QUESTION OF HOW MANY STUDENTS PARTIALLY LOADED OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ONE OF THE DAYS WERE SLICK KIDS DO THAT SHOWS A PERCEPTION OF INCREASING NATION AND RUNNING START.
THE REALITY IS THAT IS THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING A DEFAULT.
OUR OVERALL POPULATION IS GROWN. MORE KIDS BUT AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL IT ACTUALLY ISN'T THE SAME IT WAS IT WAS PRE-PANDEMIC.
THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS ASKED WAS ASSURED A PIE CHART AT THE AUGUST MEETING.
WITH STUDENTS AT DIFFERENT CREDIT LEVELS AND WAS ABLE TO FIND THAT DATA I PUT A REDLINE OUT THERE ON PURPOSE BECAUSE THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE STATE LEVEL AND USED TO HAVE TO REQUEST FOR A SCHOOL CREDIT ADDED TO YOUR TRANSCRIPT. FOR THAT REDLINE THE STATE INCLUDED AUTOMATICALLY. EVERY STUDENT THAT TAKES ALGEBRA ON A MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL THAT SHOWS UP ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT UNLESS THEY ASKED TO REMOVE IT.
IT IS INTERESTING WHEN WE LOOK AT IT ABOUT ONE THIRD OF OUR KIDS COME OUT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH CREDITS. THESE ARE THE DATA SETS THAT I SHARED WITH THE COMMITTEE.WE LOOKED AT SOME ELECTIVES IN TERMS OF MUSIC THAT WE ONLY HAVE A FEW YEARS OF DATA.
[01:20:04]
FOR SOME OF THESE WE CHOSEN SOME PROXIES. IT IS ALWAYS A ONE-TO-ONE COMPARISON WHAT I DID WAS THE MOST BROAD INTERPRETATION WITH ANYTHING RELATED TO MUSIC.MY SON IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. THIS ELECTIVE PROCEDURE IS CALCULUS.
ARE THERE OR HAS THERE BEEN AN INCREASE IN STUDENT LIKE SIOBHAN WHO TAKES 27 AP CREDITS EVERY YEAR. IS THERE AN INCREASE OF THAT WITH STUDENTS HAVING THREE OR MORE? AND THEN WE LOOK AT CREDITS ATTEMPTED AND EARNED WHAT WE WERE HOPING FROM WHEN WE GET THE CREDIT FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE WAS KIDS WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE MORE AND MEETING WOULDN'T BE AS BIG OF AN ISSUE.
THE EFFICACY IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE SERVICE PANORAMA AND IT'S LOOKING AT ONLY POSITIVE RESPONSES FOR NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE. WHAT THIS TELLS US IS WE HAVE INCREASE FROM SPRING 2022 STUDENTS SELF REPORTING OF EFFICACY.
THAT'S THEIR SELF-EFFICACY AROUND THEIR ACADEMIC REPORT. A SLIGHT DECLINE AND FALL OF 2023. 55% OF THE REPORTING FEELINGS OF SELF-EFFICACY THAT MEANS 45% REPORTING SOMETHING ELSE. EITHER NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE. THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING.
I'M JUST GONNA SHOW YOU BITS OF IT. >> I WAS CURIOUS WOULD IT LOOK LIKE THE 5%. THAT'S THE WHOLE. AND WHAT GRADE LEVEL BY GRADE LEVEL FOR SIX THROUGH 12 AND YOU SEE AN INTERESTING THING OCCURRED.
CONFLICT. CONTEMPT. A LITTLE BIT OF A REBOUND.
>> THE QUESTION OF THE COMMITTEE IS HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE SEVEN.
DAY AND WHY IS THIS OCCURRING. WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING IS A DECLINE.
MY BUSINESS RULE IS IF IT IS MARGINALLY RELATED TO MUSIC INCLUDING INDEPENDENT STUDY IT'S INCLUDED WITHIN THE DATA STUDY. BOXES A COUPLE PLACES WHERE THE
[01:25:18]
DATA IS LOOKING AT AND THREE KIDS AND WHEN YOU GET INTO RACIAL IDENTITY THAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF THAT WORK ALSO. THIS ISN'T ONE OF THOSE. THIS IS NINE THROUGH 11 THAT DID ANY SORT OF MUSIC CLASS BECAUSE THE ENROLLMENT HAS INCREASED AND THE NET EFFECT OF THAT IS FROM A CLASSROOM PERSPECTIVE. IT'S PROBABLY RELATED TO THOSEBUT NOT THE CAUSE OF IT. >> THE NEXT QUESTION WAS INCREASED ACCESS IS DEFINED AS KIDS TAKING ONE AP IN 11 TO 12. SOME SORRY TO GET THESE ON THE SAME BUT THAT'S 11TH GRADE SO WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE TRENDLINE THAT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE HIS ARE ACTUALLY SEEING A TREND UP WHICH IS WHAT WE HAD HOPED TO SEE. WHEN YOU DIG INTO THE DATA YOU SEE THAT TREND IS NOT AND NEVER SAW. AND THEN GRADE 12 LOOKS VERY
SIMILAR TO GRADE 11 WE SEE THE INCREASE THERE AS WELL. >> THE NEXT DATA SET IS THREE OR MORE AP CLASSES. WE ARE SEEING INCREASED PARTICULARLY IN 11TH GRADE.
ABOUT 12% OF THE KIDS HAVE THREE OR MORE GLASSES TO THIS YEAR WHICH IS ALMOST 30%.
KIDS ARE TAKING MORE AP CLASSES WE HAVE THE PANDEMIC WHERE THAT'S WHERE THAT WENT AS WELL.
IT'S AN INCREASE FOR 12TH GRADE. THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT ARE QUALIFIED AS LOW INCOME AND SLIGHTLY UP. WE'VE HAD A BIG JUMP THIS YEAR.
THIS IS ONE WHERE IT'S THE PERCENTAGE OF A SUBGROUP. THIS IS AT 6.3% OF THE KIDS TAKING AP CLASSES OR STUDENT THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS LOW INCOME AT 6.3% OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS LOW-INCOME THIS IS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE SHOW THAT WHEN YOU LOOK DEEPER INTO THE DATA YOU WILL SEE OUR EXPERIENCING THE SURPRISE BUT EXPERIENCING SCHOOL DIFFERENTLY.THE CREDITS EARNED AND ATTEMPTED I THINK I'LL GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING 2018 AND 19 C THE CHANGE.
[01:30:03]
YOU SEE AN INCREASE OF CREDITS ATTEMPTED AND EARNED. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME WHICH IS INTERESTING. DIFFERENT GROUPS OF KIDS THIS WOULD BE STUDENTS WHOSE FAMILIES ARE IDENTIFIED AS LOW INCOME YOU SEE A BIGGER DIFFERENTIAL.THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY QUALIFIED FOR MULTILINGUAL YOU CAN BREAK IT OUT I NEVER
QUALIFIED. >> THIS IS STUDENTS HIS RACIAL IDENTITY IS BLACK OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN. THESE ARE STUDENTS WHOSE IDENTITY IS ASIAN.
AS A LOT OF KIDS THAT FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY. THE ONE WHERE YOU SEE THE CLOSEST. WE HAVE HISPANIC AND LATINO. TWO OR MORE.
AS PART OF THAT GROUP THIS IS PRE-AND POST GREAT DISTRIBUTION FOR GRADES NINE THROUGH 12.
I SCHOOL STUDENTS EACH YEAR AND THE PERCENTAGE OF GRADE. THIS IS NONCREDIT GRADE SO THAT LAST BOX DID NOT GET THE CREDIT. WHEN YOU COUPLE THAT WITH THE GRAPHS FROM BEFORE AND CREDITS EARNED JUST AS A REMINDER WE ARE IN UNDERSTANDING THE STORY OF THE SEVEN.HANGE. THE NEXT STEP IS TO START LOOKING FOR THOSE IN THAT CONVERSATION. WE WILL DO THAT IN OUR NEXT MEETING IN DECEMBER.
IT'S VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS BUT I WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND INTEGRITY OF THE PROCESS WE ALLOW THE COMMITTEE THE TIME TO STRUGGLE WITH THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU WANT TO DIG INTO THAT. I LEFT THAT ONE CHART TO LINGER ON PURPOSE BECAUSE DIFFERENT KIDS ARE DIPPED EXPERIENCING OUR SYSTEMS CURRENTLY AND THAT'S WHEN WE STRUGGLE.
AND WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK DIFFERENTLY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. FINAL THOUGHTS, IT'S NOT ABOUT
[01:35:01]
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. IT IS A COMPLEX PROBLEM IN A COMPLEX PROCESS IT'S GOING TO HAVE A COMPLEX SOLUTION.MY CONTINUING CAUTION ABOUT MAKING TOO MANY LEAPS WITH PART OF WHAT THIS COMMITTEE DOES. I THINK WE HAVE JUST A FEW MINUTES LEFT.I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS BUT I REALIZE THIS FOCUSES ON THE SEVEN.
DAY. IF WE ENFORCE THE SEVEN. DAY START TIME IS IT SEEMS LIKE ONE HAS AN IMPACT ON THE OTHER. GO FROM SEVEN. SIX.
IT GIVES MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE START TIME. IT'S NOT THE START TIME.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO SEPARATE THE TWO. CAN YOU RELATE DIVORCE THE TWO?
OR DID I MISUNDERSTAND? >> I THINK YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE SLIDE THAT MENTION START TIMES. THAT WAS FLAT-OUT BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE SURVEYING STUDENTS DURING THE START TIME CONSIDERATION WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION COMING BACK SAYING EVEN IF WE CHANGE START TIME OR NOT IT MIGHT WORK SO THERE'S A LOT OF STATEMENTS AROUND A LOT OF CLASSES AND HOMEWORK. IT'S PARTIALLY WHAT TRIGGERED THE INTEREST IN LOOKING AT 1/7.
DAY. >> YOU ARE JUST SHIFTING MY WORKLOAD LATER.
YOU ARE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORK PROCESS. >> IT IS A COMPLEX PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S RELATED. WHEN YOU GRADE IN PRACTICE WITH THE TEACHER WORKLOAD BECOMES
PART OF THE EQUATION AT SOME POINT. >> I HAVE A FEW CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE METHODS THAT WERE USED JUST TO CLARIFY THIS WAS A VOLUNTARY SAMPLE AND
I'M WONDERING HOW STUDENTS ARE CHOSEN FOR THIS SURVEY. >> THIS WAS NOT VOLUNTARY THIS WAS EVERY STUDENTS. QUICKSET PANORAMA. AND SO THE END THAT WAS THERE WAS 12,454 BECAUSE WE DO THAT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. YOU ARE RIGHT.
THERE WAS A DATA SET INCLUDED IN AUGUST THAT I TOOK OUT BECAUSE IT WAS A PERCEPTION SURVEY THAT WAS SENT OUT THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL LAST YEAR AND I HAD 200 RESPONSES AT ONE SCHOOL IN 1500 AND THE OTHER. FROM A SAMPLE STANDPOINT IT'S ACCURATE SO WHEN WE GO OUT FOR ADDITIONAL PERCEPTIONAL SURVEYS THERE IS A HIGH SCHOOL AREA FROM EVERY SCHOOL IN COMMITTEE
[01:40:02]
AS PART OF THEIR TASK THAT'S PUT IN. >> OKAY THANK YOU.
>> SHIVANI? >> I HOPE THIS WASN'T ANSWERED WHEN I WAS IN THE RESTROOM BUT I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS TO TALK ABOUT. THIS IS CRITICAL BUT I'M GOING TO SAY IT. THE EQUUS D POLICY STATES RAISING POLICY REGARDLESS OF INCOME BUT DOESN'T GOING BACK FINAL AND TO M FUNDAMENTALLY GO AGAINST US? IT MEANS THEY HAVE TO GET THE TRANSPORTATION FOR THEMSELVES AND IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD IT THEY CANNOT TAKE THIS CLASS TO THEN GRADUATE. THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. ALSO THE GRAPHS ON SLIDE 42.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO IT BUT I WANTED TO SAY THAT ON THIS GRAPH IT'S AS LOW INCOME STUDENTS ATTEMPTED 27.5 CREDITS I GOT 24.6. THAT'S BARELY MAKING THE REQUIREMENT TO GRADUATE. I'M WONDERING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MAX NUMBER OF CREDITS IS NOW 24 BECAUSE YOU ARE LOWERING THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD TO SIX PERIODS.
I DID GO BACK AND LOOKED AT THIS GRAPH. IF YOU GO BACK TO APRIL 20, 2018 TO 2017 AND 2018 WITH LOW INCOME STUDENTS. THEY DO NOT MAKE THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS DO NOT MAKE EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS DO NOT MAKE THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS SO I THINK JUST BY THE DATA ALONE IT SHOWS HAVING SEVEN-DAY. TO HELP EASE MARGINALIZED GROUPS. THEY ARE ABLE TO GRADUATE BECAUSE OF THAT.
>> WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS EXACTLY WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAS TO STRUGGLE WITH.
YOU ARE ASSUMING CAUSATION AND IT MAY OR NOT BE THAT. THAT IS THE COMPLEXITY OF IT.
THE OTHER OVERLAY THAT IS AN INHERENT I DID NOT PULL GRADUATION RATE DATA.
IT'S MORE NUANCED THAN LOOKING AT ONE CHART THE ASSUMPTION BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THAT THERE ARE MORE OPPORTUNITIES BUT IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
DIFFERENTIAL IS INTERESTING. THERE'S PROBABLY MORE WE NEED TO LOOK AT WRITING THAT CONCLUSION. EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE WANTING TO DO IT THIS COMMITTEE IS EXPAND THE NUMBER OF OPTIONS GIVEN. DAYS. BY THE WAY YOU CALL OUT FOR IT IS ESSENTIALLY BETWEEN PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES IN THOSE MODELS IS THE COMMITTEE WRESTLES WITH THIS GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE OTHER OPTIONS ARE WITH THOSE INTERESTS.
SHOULD HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD THEY NEED THEM. NOW SOME PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THAT COMMITTEE AND IT MAY BE AND INCORPORATE FLEX. PEOPLE AND KIDS DO CREDIT RETRIEVAL AND GET BUSTING SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE A CLASS WE LOOK AT THE ABILITIES THAT IN 2015 WHEN SEVEN. DAYS WERE HERE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE KINDS
[01:45:04]
OF SCHOOLING SO THERE OTHER OPTIONS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE. YES AND THERE OTHER THINGS THATTHE COMMITTEE ARE DOING. >> HAVE A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO ADD.
MY NEXT POINT WAS GOING TO BE THE GRAPH IN TERMS OF GRADUATION RATES BEFORE AND AFTER ADDING SEVEN PERIODS. WHICH SITE THIS IS ON BUT IT'S ABOUT THE SELF ADVOCACY.
THIS IS ANOTHER REALLY FAR STRETCH BUT I WAS WONDERING TO MIDDLE SCHOOLS CURRENTLY HAVE
SIX OR SEVEN.? >> THEY HAVE SIX CLICKS DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE THERE'S A CORRELATION BETWEEN DECLINING SELF-EFFICACY AND THE NUMBER OF PERIODS? I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS BUT I WAS WONDERING QUICKSET TO GOOD QUESTION.
AT THAT SOME THINGS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE THAT REALLY AFFECTED IT.
NONE OF THAT COULD BE ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT. QUICKSET CARRIES ON THIS ONE TO
AS COHORTS RELAY LOWER THAN THIS YEAR? >> I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CREATE THE GRAPHS BUT I DID LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD TODAY AND WANTED TO LOOK BIRACIAL IDENTITY. IT LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT. SOME GREAT IT'S MUCH LOWER.
>> AND GOING TO GO AHEAD AND WRAP UP BECAUSE WE ARE OVER TIME.
IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS AND CIRCLE BACK WITH DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT AFTERWARDS.
FOR NOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE UPDATE. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO ATTEND THOSE COMMITTEE MEETINGS.FOLLOWING TODAY'S STUDY SESSION THERE
