OVER THIS TO YOU FOR THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. UH, BEGINNING OF THE YEAR DATA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE STAFF MEMBERS HERE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND FROM OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING DEPARTMENT IN ACADEMIC AFFAIRS, AND THEY'LL BE MAKING A PRESENTATION ON OUR BEGINNING OF THE YEAR DATA. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA FOR P K THROUGH SIX. THAT'S PRE KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS THROUGH SIXTH GRADE, AND WE'LL HAVE MELISSA HUBBARD AND YADI BLESSING ER, HERE TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION WILL BEGIN WITH THE LITTLE THE LITTLE ARE PRE K STUDENTS AND SOME FUELING BRAINS INFORMATION AND THEN MOVE INTO THE UPPER GRADES. AND THIS IS AN OUTCOME OF OUR WORK WITH THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE AND BRINGING STUDENT OUTCOMES TO YOU ON A REGULAR BASIS. SORRY GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES.IS MARTINEZ. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT. MY NAME IS JOHNNY BLESSING YOUR NOM DE DIRECTOR OF EARLY CHILD APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR MY VOICE. MY ALLERGIES HAD ANOTHER PLAN FOR ME TODAY THAT I GET TO PRESENT SO I APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY. UM I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A QUICK COVER VIEW OF THE PRE CAVE THREE AND FOUR PROGRAM HERE IN FOUR BEEN I S T. AND I'LL BE HALF OF OUR TEACHERS OR TEACHER AIDES AND OUR CHILDREN.
UM, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. UM THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO BE FAIR TO YOU ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE AGED THREE, SO I'M GONNA BE RE FAIRNESS TO PRE K THREE AND THEIR STUDENTS WHO ARE AGED FOUR. AH ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, AND I'M GONNA CALL THE PROGRAM PRE K FOUR. SO THAT'S JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE. AND I'M SORRY, AND I PROGRAM HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY SINCE WE OPENED THE DOORS TO THE FULL DAY PARTICIPATION WE INITIALLY HAD.
HAVE THEY PRICK A PROGRAMS IN 2018 19. AND THEN WITH THE PASSING OF HB THREE WE STARTED OFFERING FULL DAY PRE K IN 25 SIDES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. OUR TEAM SUPPORTS ALL THE OPERATIONAL UM, IN CURRICULUM ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM. UH AND WE COOPERATE AND COLLABORATE WITH MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS TO SERVE ALL THESE STUDENTS NEEDS OF OUR CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE A DEDICATED GROUP OF 117 TEACHERS 117 8 AND WE SUPPORT 39. UH CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS PROVIDING A WELCOMING AND CARING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN. FOR MANY OF THEM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'RE COMING TO SCHOOL. AND SO WE'RE THANKFUL FOR HAVING TEACHERS WHO ARE WELCOMING OUR FAMILIES FOR THE FIRST TIME. I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU QUICKLY HERE IN THIS GRAPH THE RAPID GROWTH THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS. SO IF YOU NOTICE THOSE BARS WOULD BEEN ABLE TO SURPASS THE ENROLLMENT LEVELS THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, AND WE ARE PROJECTED TO MEET OUR GOAL OF 2300 STUDENTS FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER. SO AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE OFFERING PRE K THREE AND PRE K FOUR AND OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO OFFER KINDERGARTEN WRITING THIS TO ALL OF THESE CHILDREN WHO COME TO SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHAT THIS GRAPH ALSO INDICATES IS THAT THERE'S A HIGH DEMAND FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.
OKAY THIS IS A GRAPH THAT IS GOING TO SHOW NOW. ACADEMIC GROWTH IN THE IN THE AREA OF EARLY LITERACY, AND SO WE ASSESS OUR STUDENTS THREE TIMES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THESE GRAPHICS GOING TO SHOW THE HISTORIC GAINS THAT WE'VE HAD IN OUR STUDENTS SINCE THE CONCEPTION OF OUR PROGRAM, FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED THIS YEAR WITH A COURT OF STUDENTS THAT CAME HIGHER THAN THE ONES LAST YEAR. BUT I ALSO WANT TO BRING TO YOUR YOUR ATTENTION THAT THESE ARE BRAND NEW STUDENTS EVERY YEAR, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY PREVIOUS DATA, AND WE TRULY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY COME TO OUR CLASSROOMS UNTIL WE STARTED ACCESSING THEM. BUT ALTHOUGH WE GET A BRAND NEW GROUP OF STUDENTS EVERY YEAR ARE DEPARTMENT OUR CHILDREN AND STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE HB THREE GOALS THAT WE SET. FOR THESE FIVE YEAR CYCLE, THEY GO FOR THE 2324 SCHOOL YEAR WAS MET LAST YEAR. IT WAS SURPASSED ABOVE ONE POINT , AND SO WE HOPE TO SUSTAIN THESE GAINS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT THIS YEAR WE'RE LAUNCHING A BRAND NEW CURRICULUM, SO WE ANTICIPATE HUGE LEARNING CURVE FROM OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE SO WE HOPE TO, UH, SUSTAINED THE GAMES, BUT WE'RE ALSO MINDFUL OF
[00:10:02]
WHAT WE'RE ASKING OUR TEACHERS. THE NEXT SLIDE IS GOING TO SHOW THE ACHIEVEMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, OBTAINED IN THE AREA OF MATH AGAIN. EVERY COURT COMMENTS HAD A DIFFERENT LEVEL.THIS YEAR'S COHORT CAME HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR'S, AND OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE SUSTAINING OUR GAMES ARE 85% AND ABOVE. BUT AGAIN, ALL OF THESE SUPPORTS THAT HOLISTIC APPROACH. OF HAVING CHILDREN READY FOR KINDERGARTEN. NOW I'M GOING TO TRANSITION TO OUR PRE K THREE PROGRAMMING, VERY SMALL OPERATION THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY HAVE AN APARTMENT COMPLEXES CALLED THE EDISON LOVES, AND THIS IS A SMALL PILOT THAT WE HAVE RIGHT THERE IN THE HEART OF THEM WILL OVERREACH. HIGH SCHOOL FEEDER PATTERN NOT ONLY WERE SERVICING THE STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, WE ALSO EXTEND THE PARTICIPATION TO THE STUDENTS AND IN MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL OR HIGHTOWER HIGH SCHOOL FEEDER PATTERN. WE HAVE HIGHLY DEMAND WE ONLY ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE A SMALL GROUP OF STUDENTS. IN WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING TO THEM IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS THE DEVELOPMENT ON THEIR EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS. AND SO THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS ARE THOSE SKILLS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS TO BE FLEXIBLE TO ACTUALLY ADJUST TO SOUTHERN CHANGES. UM IN, UH, ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO PREPARE FOR ACADEMICS. LET ME JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS. HAVE YOU EVER MET A CHILD WHO'S BRILLIANT AGAINST A STEEL OR THROW TANTRUMS AT THE STORE BECAUSE HE CANNOT ADJUST TO THIS OTHER CHANGES OR MAYBE A YOUNG ADULT TEENAGER. WHO WILL DO BETTER IF SHE COULD MANAGE TIME. AND, UH, FOCUS BETTER IN ACADEMICS OR HAVE A BETTER CONCEPT OF PLANNING. ALL OF THOSE ARE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS THAT WHEN WE, UM DEVELOP HIM EARLY IN LIFE, THEY HAVE LONG LASTING CONSEQUENCES. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN THIS, UH WITH PILOT IS PRECISELY EQUIP OUR STUDENTS WITH THOSE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS EARLY ON, SO NOT NOT ONLY THEY'RE READY FOR SCHOOL IN THE IN LIFE, BUT ALSO WE ALLOW THEM TO LEARN HOW TO LEARN SO THAT THEY CAN GET THAT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND WE DON'T HAVE TO RE MEDIATE THEM IN THIRD GRADE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT READING ON. ON LEVEL GONNA SHOW YOU BRIEFLY HOW THE ENVIRONMENT LOOKS IN THE EIGHTIES, SOME GLOVES. THEY'RE FEELING BRAINS ACADEMY, BUT I ALSO HAVE BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT WITH YOU. THIS PICTURES, DON'T IT JUST A SMALL WINDOW INTO WHAT OCCURS THERE, BUT IT'S BETTER IF YOU GO AND VISIT. I'M EXTENDING AN INVITATION TO YOU. BECAUSE ONCE YOU ENTER THESE ACADEMY, YOU SEE THE LITTLE ONES, THREE YEARS OLD , CARRYING THEIR OWN TRAY. SETTING UP THEIR MATH TO TAKE A NAP. UH A SELECTING THE MATERIALS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO UTILIZING THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, PUTTING THEM BACK CLEANING THE CLASSROOM. IT'S JUST MAGIC. SO WHENEVER YOU HAVE THE TIME AGAIN, WE EXTEND INVITATION BECAUSE ONCE YOU'RE THERE YOU SEE THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL IS HAPPENING FOR THESE CHILDREN. ALRIGHT INDUS. THE TWO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS. ONE IS CALLED THE RIGHT BRING CLASSROOM. IT'S GOING TO HAVE MORE EMPHASIS ON ARTS AND, UH OR LANGUAGE EXPRESSION. AH ALL THE UNITS ARE INTEGRATED IN THE LEFT . BRING CLASSROOM IS GONNA FOCUS MORE ON STEM MATH DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO PATTERNS IN ORGANIZATIONS. SO THIS STUDENTS ARE GOING TO, UM, ATTEND BOTH CLASSROOMS AND THEY JUST SWITCHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. NOW I'M GONNA SHOW YOU QUICKLY AS SOME OF THE ACADEMIC UM NOT, UM. I CAN'T MEET GROWTH.
I'M SORRY FROM US STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE ACADEMY LAST YEAR. SO IF YOU NOTICED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, 100% OF THE STUDENTS CAME EITHER DEVELOPING OR PROGRESSING, SO.
ALTHOUGH IN THIS COHORT WE HAD A MIX OF THREE AND FOUR YEARS OLD. AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
96% OF THE STUDENTS LEFT THE ACADEMY EVEN PROGRESSING OR MASTERING. SO WE SAW THAT RAPID GROWTH IN THOSE, UM, EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NOW, THESE YEAR WE HAVE A DIFFERENT GROUP OF STUDENTS AND ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE ATTENDING THE ACADEMY THIS YEAR, ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. WE DIDN'T MIX THE H. AGAIN REMEMBER, THIS IS A PILOT. SO WE'RE FIGURING OUT WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RUN THESE OPERATION NOTICED THAT 100% OF THIS STUDENTS THIS COHORT CAME AND DEVELOPING ARE PROGRESSING. THESE STUDENTS ARE SHOWING MORE NEED THAN THE ONES
[00:15:05]
LAST YEAR, 85% OF THEM DEVELOPING. RAPIDLY LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT OCCURRED LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING THE THREE DIFFERENT EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS. UH NOTICED THAT THE, UM PINK BAR IS SHOWING HOW THEY CAME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. AND THEN AT THE END THAT GROWTH THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR IN IN ALL THESE THREE AREAS. AND THIS YEAR'S, UH , GROUP AGAIN. AS I MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, IT CAME WITH HIGHER NEEDS. MOST OF THEM ARE DEVELOPING VERY FEW PROGRESSING AND, UM, A SMALL NUMBER MASTERING SO AGAIN. OUR GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO DEVELOP THIS THREE COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS. 90. AND OF COURSE, ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE THAT KINDERGARTEN READINESS THAT THEY DESERVE EVERY SEND YOU OUR CLASS OF 2023. THESE ARE THE BABIES WHO GRADUATED LAST YEAR AND NOW SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO REACH MONEY. L C TO THE HUNTERS CLINI ELSIE DIFFERENTLY. OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WE ASK ABOUT THEM. WE'RE HEARING GRAVE REVIEWS THAT THEY COME READY TO SCHOOL. AH IF YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GO TO THE GRAND OPENING, WE HAD TWO OF THEM RECITING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PAYING ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. WE COULDN'T TELL THAT WE HAVE THREE YEARS OLD THERE IN THAT PLACE, SO THIS MAKES THE PRESENTATION THAT THIS CONCLUSIVE PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU. AGAIN. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. SO THE WORK THAT IS DONE IN THAT PRE K DEPARTMENT REALLY HELPS TO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WORK THAT I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT KINDER THROUGH SIXTH GRADE ACADEMIC DATA. WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT REN AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO UH , AND THIS SLIDE WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IN THE FIRST SESSION WHEN I DID ACADEMIC DATA ON E O Y A COUPLE MONTHS AGO OR BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, AND THIS REPRESENTS OUR BALANCED ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK. THERE'S A DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS THAT WE GIVE THEY SERVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES. WE TAKE THAT DATA, BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT IT TOGETHER, IT GIVES US MORE HOLISTIC PICTURE OF WHAT A STUDENT IS ABLE TO DO ACADEMICALLY. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVEN THOUGH TONIGHT WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT A SMALL SUBSET OF THIS DATA BECAUSE SOME OF IT IS CLASSROOM FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DATA. SOME OF IT IS SUMMITED. WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA YET. WE'LL HAVE IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. UM BUT IT GIVES US A BIGGER PICTURE, UM OF STUDENT ACADEMIC SUCCESS. SO OUR IMPLEMENTATION MODEL THIS YEAR IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD AND OUR PARENTS LISTENING AND HAVE AN AWARENESS OF THE MODEL THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS YEAR. UM, AS MISS BLESS, SINGER SAID. THE CIRCLE ASSESSMENT IS GIVEN TO OUR PRE K STUDENTS, AND SHE SHOWED YOU THAT DATA AND IT MEASURES THAT ON TRACK FOR EARLY LITERACY AND NUMERACY, AND THEN THAT'S GIVEN THREE TIMES A YEAR. TEXT KIA IS THE ASSESSMENT THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR ELEMENTARY KIDS. I MEAN, OUR KINDERGARTEN KIDDOS AND MEASURES ON TRACK FOR LITERACY.SPECIFICALLY BE A WINE GOING TO GET INTO THAT DATA IN JUST A MOMENT, AND THEN WE ACTUALLY MEASURE MATH ON TRACK THREE TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE OUR RENT 360 DOES NOT MEASURE MATH FOR KINDERGARTEN, SO WE UTILIZE THAT TEXT KIA BASS AND SCL. UM WE PROVIDE THAT TO KINDER 1ST AND 2ND GRADE STUDENTS. WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THAT DATA TODAY. THIS ONE. WHAT I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER IS THAT IT MEASURES AT HONOR BELOW READING LEVEL, SO WE ARE LISTENING TO THE KIDDO READ OR LOOKING FOR FLUENCY, ACCURACY AND COMPREHENSION AND COMPREHENSION AND A MATRIX TO DECIDE WHAT THAT READING LEVEL IS. AND FOR 1ST AND 2ND GRADE. WE MEASURE THIS THREE TIMES A YEAR, BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END OF YEAR AND FOR KINDERGARTEN. WE START MEASURING IT AT M A Y, BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL DOING SOME LETTER RECOGNITION AND LEARNING THE BASICS OF LITERACY HERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, AND THEN OUR RUN 360. THIS IS WHERE WE HAD A BIGGER CHANGE IN OUR IMPLEMENTATION MODEL FOR THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR WE TESTED ALL KIDDOS K THROUGH 10TH GRADE.
THIS YEAR. WE'RE ONLY TESTED STUDENTS K THROUGH SIXTH GRADE IN READING AND MATH AND OUR SEVENTH THROUGH 12TH GRADERS. WE ASSESS THEM IF THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL ON STAR OR IF THEY'RE
[00:20:01]
A SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS THAT IS DARTED TO TAKE RUN 360. THE REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT COMPARATIVE DATA OVER TIME, I CAN'T JUST SAY THE DISTRICT AVERAGE FOR LAST YEAR AND COMPARE IT TO THE DISTRICT AVERAGE THIS YEAR. THE DIFFERENT SAMPLES SET OF STUDENTS, OKAY, BUT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU ON THE DATA CHARTS HOW WE CALCULATED THE DISTRICT AVERAGE. TO REPRESENT THE KIDS WHO DID TEST THIS YEAR. OKAY UM AND WE ADMINISTER THAT THREE TIMES A YEAR. REMEMBER WITH THIS DATA SET WE ARE LOOKING AT AT OR ABOVE BENCHMARK. THAT'S THAT NORM REFERENCED ACROSS THE NATION IF THEY'RE AT OR ABOVE THAT GRADE LEVEL TARGET, AND THEN WE ALSO MEASURE SGP AND THAT'S OUR GROWTH INDICATOR.OKAY SO THOSE ARE THE TWO DATA POINTS THAT Y'ALL ARE BEING. I THINK BECOMING A LITTLE BIT MORE FAMILIAR WITH OKAY, SO LITERACY, TEXT KIA KIND OF LIKE, UM MS BLESSINGS YOU'RE TALKED ABOUT, UM, THE TEXT, KIA LITERACY DATA IT REALLY, UM KIND OF MEASURES THAT READINESS FOR READING.
THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. IN THAT ASSESSMENT. THEY'RE MEASURING VOCABULARY, LETTER NAMES, RECOGNITION AND SPELLING. AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE ON THIS SLIDE IS THAT OUR STUDENTS WERE MOST ON TRACK IN THEIR LETTER. NAMES AND RECOGNITION ARE TOTAL LITERACY ON TRACK. THEY TAKE AN AGGREGATE OF THAT DATA AND GIVE US THE PERCENTAGE OF KIDS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE ON TRACK. USING THOSE THREE SUB TESTS, AND WE LANDED AT 82% OF OUR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. UM, THAT WERE ON TRACK FOR LITERACY, OKAY? THIS DATA REPRESENTS OUR BASS AND SCL DATA FOR 1ST AND 2ND GRADE FOR FIRST GRADE BASS.
THAT AND SECOND GRADE BASS. THAT'S THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE TEST. SO THESE ARE MONOLINGUAL STUDENTS. THE 1ST AND 2ND GRADE S CL AR ARE BILINGUAL STUDENTS AND THAT IS THE SPANISH VERSION OF THE TEST. ONE THE DATA I'M REPORTING HERE TONIGHT IS BASED ON AD OR ABOVE LEVEL, AND SO WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT THE MAROON BAR INDICATES OUR B O Y DATA OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, AND THAT GOLD BAR REPRESENTS THE E O Y DATA FROM THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE WE DON'T HAVE E O Y DATA JUST YET. UM LIKE I SAID, BEFORE, UM THIS MEASURES, FLUENCY, ACCURACY AND COMPREHENSION ON A MATRIX TO DECIDE WHAT THAT READING LEVEL IS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS IN LOOKING AT THIS DATA SET THAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT THE STUDENTS IN 1ST AND 2ND GRADE OR STARTING THIS YEAR AT A HIGHER PROFICIENCY RATE THAN WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WHICH IS VERY POSITIVE, UM AND THAT IS THE SAME FOR SCL ASSESSMENT OR SPANISH TEST. NOW WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A GAP BETWEEN THE PROFICIENCY RATES. ON THE, UM THE SPANISH TEST VERSUS THE ENGLISH TEST THAT ALSO WANT TO REMEMBER THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING DUAL LANGUAGE. UM RIGHT NOW IN THESE GRADE LEVELS, SO THE KIDS ARE LEARNING IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND SO IT'S NOT ABNORMAL. THAT THEY MIGHT BE MOVING AT A SLOWER RATE BECAUSE THEY'RE LEARNING IT INTO LANGUAGES RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND, BUT IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON IN TRACKING. OUR RENAISSANCE 360 DATA. UM WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS THAT WE HAVE SOME COMPARATIVE DATA, BUT I ONLY PULLED A COMPARISON OF FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADE. SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M DOING THESE COMPARISONS, I'M NOT COMPARING TO THE OLD IMPLEMENTATION MODEL. I ONLY LOOKED AT THE SAME STUDENTS TESTED ACROSS THE YEARS. OKAY SO THAT'S 61% AT OUR ABUNDANT AT URBAN BENCHMARK. THAT IS THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADE, UM, THAT WE HAD AT URBAN ABOVE BENCHMARK FOR READING. THE TAN ISH KIND OF COLOR UP HERE. FIRST GRADE, THIRD GRADE, FOURTH GRADE AND SIXTH GRADE. THAT INDICATES THAT WE HAVE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS IN THAT CATEGORY THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST. THE PURPLISH PINK COLOR. SECOND GRADE AND FIFTH GRADE INDICATES THAT WE'VE MAINTAINED WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT OUR AD OR ABOVE BENCHMARK FOR THIS YEAR'S NOT BELOW WHERE WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. WE HAVE EITHER MAINTAINED OR INCREASED. AND THEN I HAVE SOME STUDENT GROUP INFORMATION. I ADDED SOME SUB POPULATIONS OF
[00:25:02]
STUDENTS HERE BASED ON SOME FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM YOU ALL AS A BOARD. UM IF YOU REMEMBER THE GT BILINGUAL AND SSL DATA POINTS HERE ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT WE REPORT FEDERALLY OR TO THE STATE, BUT IT IS OF INTEREST TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. UM SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THOSE THREE STUDENT GROUPS HAVE BEEN ADDED, I WANT TO CLARIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE AND THE BBL BBL STUDENT DATA. THAT'S ALL OF OUR KIDS IN THE SYSTEM, WHO ARE TAGGED AS AN EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENT, WHETHER THEY'RE RECEIVING SERVICES OR NOT THERE IN THAT GROUP. THE BAR FOR GT.THOSE ARE OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS GIFTED AND TALENTED AND THE RESULTS FROM THEIRS. THE BILINGUAL STUDENT GROUP IS ONLY ARE BILINGUAL STUDENTS THEIR DATA IN THAT SUBGROUP AND THEN THE SLR DSL PROGRAM STUDENTS. SO REMEMBER, YOU MAY HAVE A STUDENT WHO IS IN RAS EL PROGRAM. UM UM, BECAUSE THEY SPEAKING AND LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH. AND SO THAT STUDENT THAT DATA IS AND THAT STUDENT GROUP, SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THOSE ARE RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER. UM ARE SGP STUDENT GROWTH FOR B? O Y? UM THAT NEED REQUIRES TWO DATA POINTS TO CALCULATE. SO THIS DATA WOULD REPRESENT ALL OF THE STUDENTS IN THE GROUP FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADE, WHO HAVE AT LEAST TWO DATA POINTS FROM REN IN THE SYSTEM, AND AT THAT WE HAVE 75% OF OUR STUDENTS WHO MET AS GP BETWEEN THE END OF YEAR LAST YEAR IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR THIS YEAR. WHICH IS PRETTY PROMISING THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH OF A SLIDE OVER THE SUMMER. SO THAT'S EXCITING NEWS. Y'ALL UM, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE SHELL. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT INTERVENTION SYSTEMS, AND YOU'VE ASKED FOR DATA RELATED TO INTERVENTION. SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT L L I, UM AND SOLUTIONS, WHICH IS OUR SPANISH VERSION OF THE. TIER THREE INTERVENTION SYSTEMS FOR LITERACY. REMEMBER THESE ARE SMALL GROUPS 3 TO 4 KIDS. THEY OCCURS 45 MINUTES DAILY. UM IT'S BUILT INTO THE MASTER SCHEDULE ON TOP OF THEIR LITERACY BLOCK.
UM EXTRA AND ABOVE RIGHT AND WHAT WE'RE MEASURING IS ATTENDANCE STUDENT GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN EACH GROUP , UM, TO SEE IF WE HAVE MAINTAINED FIDELITY. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ON THIS SLIDE WAS DATA REPORTED AS OF SEPTEMBER THE 25TH SO COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. UM AND AT THAT POINT WE HAD ONLY DONE ABOUT 25 SESSIONS. WE HAVE TO GET THE KIDS IN. LOOK AT DATA, DECIDE WHO WE'RE GOING TO PULL. AND SO THAT'S THE DATA THAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN. AT THAT POINT, WE HAD QUITE A FEW STUDENTS WOULD NOT ENOUGH DATA TO REPORT GROWTH BECAUSE UM, THE ATTENDANCE RATE THEY HAVE TO BE. THEY HAVE TO ATTEND A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMES FOR US TO GATHER THE GROWTH DATA. UM WE ALSO STILL HAD KIDS MOVING INTO THE PROGRAMMING BASED ON BEGINNING OF THE YEAR DATA. SO WE KIDS ADDING IN THERE, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO MEASURE GROWTH WITHIN THE PROGRAM. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT TEACHERS WEREN'T CHRONICLING GROWTH, THEY WERE STILL CAPTURING DATE DAILY DATA. LAST WEEK. WE DID OUR SECOND DATA POOL. AND SO I WANTED TO VERBALLY TELL YOU WHAT THAT DATA IS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE AN UPDATED SIDE FOR YOU TONIGHT SINCE I GOT THE DATA ON FRIDAY. SO AS OF FRIDAY, UM THE GROWTH FOR RL, I IS THAT 59. UM NO GROWTH WE HAVE AT 20% AND NOT ENOUGH DATA. WE'RE DOWN TO 19.
WE HAVE ALSO INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM FROM 1538, WHICH IS ON THE SIDE. 2 1856. UM SO THAT INCREASE IN STUDENTS IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO US NOT HAVING THE DATA YET BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THEM IN THE PROGRAM HAVE THEM IN THE PROGRAM IN ORDER TO MEASURE THE GROWTH DATA. I'M GOING TO TRANSITION TO MATH. AND THIS IS OUR TEXT. KIA DATA FOR MATHEMATICS. UM YOU'LL NOTICE SIMILARLY TO WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE CIRCLE DATA. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS OF BEGINNING OF THE YEAR DATA. WE ARE AT 64% AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FOR ON TRACK. UM LAST YEAR WE STARTED THE YEAR AT 63% OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR IS 77% AND THIS IS PART OF OUR DIP METRICS. SIMILAR SITUATION WITH OUR MATHEMATICS FOR RENT. 360 WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE HERE IS THAT OUR DISTRICT ADDER ABOVE PERCENTAGE FOR FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS IS
[00:30:06]
THAT 71. WITH 9% IN URGENT INTERVENTION, WHICH, IF YOU THINK ABOUT TIERED INSTR TOO BAE CAN WORK ON. AH, UM BUT FIRST GRADE SECOND GRADE AND FIFTH GRADE OR MAINTAINING WHERE WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. 3RD, 4TH AND 6TH GRADE ARE INCREASED FROM WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AT THE Y IN THE PAST. SAME STRUCTURE ON OUR STUDENT GROUPS HERE WITH THAT 71% BEING OUR OVERALL DISTRICT AVERAGE ARE SGP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR OVERALL, WAS 74% OF OUR STUDENTS MAKING THAT, UM SGP METRIC. SO NUMBER WORLD'S DATA. THIS IS OUR MATH INTERVENTION SYSTEM AND THIS ONE WE PULL A COUPLE MORE KIDS SO YOU CAN HAVE A GROUP UP TO FIVE KIDS 45 MINUTES. DAILY LESSONS VERY SCRIPTED. THERE IS AN ONLINE COMPONENT TO THIS ONE FOR THE OLDER KIDS. UM BUT THAT'S NOT IN PLACE OF THE TEACHER INSTRUCTION. IT'S IN ADDITION TO WE STILL MEASURE ATTENDANCE THE MASTERY OF THE ASSESSMENTS IN THIS ONE SO IF YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THE WAY READING GOES RIGHT BUILDS UPON ONE ANOTHER, BUT THE SKILLS ARE REALLY INTERTWINED WITH ONE ANOTHER MATH. YOU CAN HAVE MORE ISOLATED SKILLS. THEY STILL BUILD ON EACH OTHER, BUT I MIGHT MEASURE FRACTIONS AND MY NEXT ASSESSMENT MIGHT MEASURE DECIMALS. RIGHT SO WE DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT GROWTH IN THIS ONE. WE TALKED ABOUT MEETING THE TARGET OF THE ASSESSMENTS LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN IN READING.UM. SAME DATA SYSTEM HERE. WE HAD HAD 25 SESSIONS, THE AVERAGE STUDENT ATTENDANCE. ON THIS FOR SEPTEMBER WAS ONLY AT 54% SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON STUDENT FREQUENCY OF ATTENDANCE HERE SO THAT WE CAN COLLECT THE DATA. ON OUR DATA POLL. AS OF NOVEMBER. 1ST UM WELL FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK.
UM WE HAVE MOVED TO 83% OF THE STUDENTS MEETING THEIR TARGET ON THAT FIRST ASSESSMENT. SO WE'RE MAKING SOME PROGRESS HERE WITH OUR MATH INTERVENTION. WE ARE ALSO, UM. PROVIDING VERY TARGETED SUPPORT TO, UM, THE INTERVENTIONISTS THAT ARE PROVIDING THIS, UM, SYSTEM. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IMPLEMENTING WITH FIDELITY AND COACHING COACHING. THESE FOLKS HAVE ALSO INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SINCE SEPTEMBER. RECEIVING THIS FROM 868, BUT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN TO ABOUT 9990. SO WE'RE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADD A FEW MORE KIDS TO THIS INTERVENTION MODEL. SO INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORTS. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO HELP? UM CAMPUS LEADERS AND STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. UM WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING JOB EMBEDDED SUPPORT FOR OUR TEACHERS. UM WE HAVE AN INTERNAL SYSTEM THAT MEASURES THE SUPPORT THAT WE ARE PROVIDING SO WENT INTO KIND OF CAPTURE THAT INFORMATION ON THE FREQUENCY OR THE EVENTS IN WHICH WE ARE PROVIDING COACHING TO EITHER A TEACHER AND INTERVENTIONIST APPEAL C. IF WE ARE PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING TO EITHER GROUPS OF TEACHERS, THE ENTIRE CAMPUS OR TO THE PRINCIPLES. AND THEN ANY TIME WE'VE GONE INTO PROVIDE PEELS DIRECT PLC SUPPORT FROM EITHER THE TEACHING AND LEARNING DEPARTMENT OR THE ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND WE HAVE BEEN OUT ON CAMPUSES, PROVIDING THAT SUPPORT. FOR LITERACY. WE LAUNCHED A TARGETED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING CAMPAIGN WITHIN SCHOOL AGAIN ASYNCHRONOUS MODULE. THEIR FIRST SESSION LAUNCHED OCTOBER 25TH AND WE ARE HAVING VERY GOOD ENROLLMENT OF OUR TEACHERS. OUR SESSION THAT OPENED UP THAT OPENS THIS WEEK WE'VE GOT I THINK 81 TEACHERS ENROLLED IN THAT SESSION, WHICH IS MORE PROGRESS THAN WE'VE BEEN GETTING WITH SOME OF OUR FACE TO FACE SESSIONS, AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE'VE LAUNCHED FBI IS THE REEDS LAUNCHED THAT ON A FAMILY LITERACY NIGHT, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK WITH A PODCAST THAT WE'RE LAUNCHING THAT HELPS PARENTS SEE HOW CAN WE HELP WITH LITERACY AT HOME? AH UM AND WE WILL BEGIN. UM SOME WEBINARS IN THE SPRING AND THEN WE WILL BEGIN SOME PHONICS WALK THROUGHS THAT SPECIFICALLY TARGET MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING SOME, UM, IMPLEMENTING THAT PHONICS CURRICULUM WITH FIDELITY FOR MATHEMATICS WE DID. WE'VE BEEN DOING TRAINING WITH OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, EVERY SINGLE ASSISTANT PRINCE ELEMENTARY ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL,
[00:35:01]
WE'VE BEEN TAKING THEM THROUGH SOME TARGETED MATH, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, SO THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK TO TEACHERS. YEARS. AND THEN WE'VE LAUNCHED DREAM BOXES. I SPOKE TO Y'ALL, UM, LAST TIME RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT AN AVERAGE OF 3.5 LESSONS PER WEEK IN GRADES SIX THROUGH K THROUGH SIX. THE RECOMMENDED. UM LESSON COMPLETION FROM THE FROM THE VENDOR TO SEE STUDENT GROWTH IS FOUR LESSONS PER WEEK. SO WE'RE ALMOST THERE, AND WE ARE ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION FROM OUR CAMPUSES. AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO HAVE, UM, ONE OF OUR PRINCIPLES. MISS JENNY YOUNG . SHE IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ARIZONA FLEMING ELEMENTARY COME UP AND TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THIS IS LOOKING LIKE ON HER CAMPUS. UM SHE HER CAMPUS HAS IT ALL Y'ALL SHE HAS PRE K BILINGUAL PROGRAMMING AND ALL THOSE KIDS K THROUGH FIVE. SHE IT IS ALSO A TITLE ONE CAMPUS, SO SHE'S GOT SOME MEN, SOME SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT AND HER CAMPUS THAT IS UNIQUE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE HER AND, UM A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW THEY'RE USING B O Y DATA. THANK YOU, MRS HUBBARD. AND THANK YOU BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MRS MARTINEZ FOR HAVING ME ON THIS EVENING AS MRS HUBBARD SHARED. WE DO USE SEVERAL DATA SOURCES IN ORDER TO BETTER SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS NEEDS AND SO THROUGH A PROCESS THAT WE REFER TO AS OUR STUDENTS SUPPORT TEAMS ARE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF OUR LITERACY INTERVENTION TEACHERS. WE HAVE 21, WHICH IS BILINGUAL BECAUSE WE ARE BILINGUAL CAMPUS. WE ALSO HAVE TO MATH INTERVENTIONIST AS WELL AS A BILINGUAL AND HERE SELL SPECIALISTS AND SO THROUGH THE SST PROCESS, WE ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE DATA TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS. SO WE LOOK AT NOT ONLY THE RENT 360 DATA. TELL PITS, CAMPUS BASED ASSESSMENTS UNIT ASSESSMENTS, ETCETERA SO THAT WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE OUR STUDENTS PERFORM, AND WE CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR TIERED INSTRUCTION. SO WHETHER THE STUDENT MAY NEED HER TWO OR THREE OR THREE INTERVENTION WORK CONTENT AREAS, WHETHER IT'S MATH OR WHETHER IT'S READING AND SO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, OUR TEAM SITS DOWN AND REALLY CREATES A PLAN FOR HELP TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN BETTER MAKE GROWTH BASED UPON THEIR BASELINE. GOALS AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE . THAT DATA IS THAT RUDIN 360. THEY DO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING REPORT. AND SO THAT REALLY HELPS US TO DIG INTO WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED.IT PROVIDES THE SKILLS AND THE CONCEPTS CONCEPTS AT WHICH THEIR THEIR STRENGTHS AND THEN THOSE THAT THEY'RE STILL WORKING TO MASTER. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO NOT ONLY UTILIZE THE DATA AND INTERVENTION BUT WE ALSO UTILIZE IT IN OUR EVERYDAY INSTRUCTION AND THROUGH ONE INSTRUCTION. WE LOOK AT THE CAMPUS BASED DATA, AND WE LOOK FOR TRENDS AGAIN LOOKING AT STANDARDS ANTIQUES THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING WELL IN AS WELL AS THOSE THAT THEY'RE WORKING TO MASTER SO THAT WE CAN EFFECTIVELY PLANNED THROUGH ONE INSTRUCTION. WE UTILIZE IT FOR OUR WORKSTATIONS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO MASTER THOSE SKILLS. UM, THROUGH SPIRAL WORKSTATIONS, AND WE ALSO UTILIZE THAT DATA THROUGH OUR GUIDED READING AND GUIDED MATH TIME WITH OUR TEAM. TEACHERS SO THE TEACHERS KNOW RIGHT. THEY HAVE THE PROFILE OF THE STUDENT AND THEY'RE ABLE TO REALLY LOOK AT WHERE TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS. WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO TRIANGULATE THE DATA AS MISS HUBBARD SHARED. WE ARE A BILINGUAL CAMPUS, AND SO WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT POSSIBLE RECLASSIFICATION OF OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL LEARNERS CORRECT. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR DATA SOURCES AS WELL AS TELL PAST WE CAN BETTER MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR ACADEMIC CAREERS. ADDITIONALLY AS YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT THAT GROWTH MEASURE RIGHT THAT MISS HUBBARD DID DISCUSS AND SO WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO MAKE THAT GROWTH. WE WORK DURING INTERVENTION TIME AS WELL AS DURING TWO YEAR ONE INSTRUCTION SO THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE MAKING GROWTH. BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE MAY NOTICE THAT A STUDENT MAY NOT MEET THAT EXPECTED GROWTH AND SO BASED ON THE DATA, WE ARE BETTER ABLE TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON NEXT STEPS POSSIBLE REFERRAL FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS AND SERVICES. THANK YOU, MISS YOUNG. AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU ALL REALLY QUICKLY. A VIDEO OF 1/4 GRADE TEACHER WHO USES DATA THIS DATA IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME OF THOSE DECISIONS THAT MISS YOUNG WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT. THIS IS 1/4 GRADE TEACHER , UM AT ARMSTRONG ELEMENTARY.
[00:40:02]
TEACHING IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I NEED TO ADJUST EVERY DAY, ACCORDING TO HOW MY STUDENTS RESPOND TO THE LESSONS AND HOW THEY ARE GOING ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE CONTENT.ALLOWS ME AND MY STUDENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LEARNING TIME. SO THEREFORE AGAIN, INTENTIONALITY IS LIKE THE ROOT WORD BEING INTENTIONAL WHEN IT COMES TO RESPONSIVE TEACHING AND USING WHAT THE STUDENTS GIVE ME ADJUSTING AND THEN GOING ACCORDINGLY ON HOW I WANT TO HELP FORWARD BASED ON THE DATA. IT WILL ALSO ALLOWS US TO SET CLEAR AND ALIGN LEARNING GOALS AGAIN WITH MY STUDENTS. IT HELPS ME AS A TEACHER TO FOCUS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT. SO THAT'S THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THANK YOU, MISS PASSENGER AND MISS HARBOR FOR THE PRESENTATION. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, PRINCIPAL MISS YOUNG TO BE HERE AND ALSO I WANT TO THANK YOU, THE TEACHER MS OR TO BE ON THE VIDEO, SO I'M GOING TO OPEN UP FOR THE BOARD FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AND UM, I THINK MS HANAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENTS FROM THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT COMMITTEE OR I'VE GOT THEM, OKAY? AH HOLD ON, MISSY. UH HUH. I DON'T. HMM MR GARCIA. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I SAID A QUESTION ON THE SCREENINGS. UM SLIDE 20 OR 16. FOR UNIVERSES, SCREENING DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT, UM THINGS LIKE DYSLEXIA SCREENING WINDOW DO DOES THE DISTRICT JUST JUST SCREEN EVERYBODY FOR DYSLEXIA? OR IS THAT ON A AS NEEDED OR AS SUSPECTED BASIS. HOW DOES THAT WORK? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
AND I'M UM WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SCREEN ALL STUDENTS AT THE END OF KINDERGARTEN AND IN FIRST GRADE, SO WE, UM HAVE TO. WE UTILIZE WHEN 360 AS WELL AS OTHER DATA POINTS TO SCREEN FOR DYSLEXIA. UM NOW A KID CAN BE REFERRED OUTSIDE OF THAT. BUT, UM, WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO SCREEN ALL STUDENTS. IS THAT SOMETHING NEW? OR HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN? OH DINA. YEAH PERIOD YEARS, DENOUNCING FIVE. BUT WE CAN CHECK ON THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE YOU THE EXACT YEAR.
WELL, I SO WE'RE I RECALL. UM THAT. IN FIRST GRADE THAT THEY DIDN'T THIS IS YOURS. PROBABLY YEARS AGO. SO AS WELL, I WAS ASKING, SO I SAW THAT AND I WAS LIKE, GO WHEREVER REMEMBER. I DON'T THINK ANY OF MY KIDS NEVER GOT SCREENED FOR DYSLEXIA. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE FOR THE QUESTION, SO UM, I THINK IT'S GREAT. UM AND I KNOW OF SITUATIONS WHERE. AND IN MY SITUATION WE SUSPECTED. YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY KIDS WAS DYSLEXIC AND WE HAD ASKED. WE HAVEN'T TESTED IT FIRST GRADED. HE DIDN'T QUALIFY, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THE SAME TESTS IN FIRST GRADE. DIDN'T WE HAD THE TESTS WERE DONE AND IN SECOND GRADE, SO SCREENING AS SUCH AN EARLY AGE, I THINK IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. PARTICULARLY SINCE IF WE WOULD HAVE SCREEN IN MY SITUATION AND FIRST GRADE AND THEY SAID NO, HE DOESN'T QUALIFY AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, WE COULD HAVE JUST KIND OF GONE ALONG WITH THAT ASSESSMENT. INSTEAD OF PUSHING FOR, YOU KNOW THE ACTUAL SCREENING WHAT THEY DID IN SECOND GRADE, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, SO UM, HAVING COME BACK IN SECOND GRADE, AND THEN GUESS WHAT? YOU'RE DYSLEXIC, SO UM, ALSO KNOW OF SITUATIONS WHERE THAT COULD BE THE CASE AND THEN SAY SIX OR SEVENTH GRADE. THE CHILD IS STRUGGLING. MAYBE THEY'RE GONNA SO IN MY POINT IS, IS, UH FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS AS ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE TO SAY SO THE UM, YOU KNOW, HAVING A DYSLEXIC CHILD AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY LITTLE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. SO I'M VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT AND I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THAT WHEN THAT STARTED BUILDING RIGHT UP AS WELL. BUT I APPRECIATE YOU APPRECIATE THE TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR GARCIA. I DON'T USE THEIR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
MR JONES, I SHE'S HITTING THE BUTTON. 18 DON'T SAY ANY NAMES ON HERE. BUT MISS JONES. STUDENT LITERACY DATA. LET'S GO TO PAGE 18 PER SLIDE. 18. THE TEXT HERE. YES MA'AM. SO I'M WONDERING, AND I'M LOOKING AT THE ON TRACK BY ASSESSMENT. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY STUDENTS WHO ARE IN PRE K IN
[00:45:02]
THESE NUMBERS VERSUS THE FIRST TIME KINDERGARTENERS? I DO NOT HAVE THAT DATA EMBEDDED IN THIS.UM GOTTI. IS THERE A WAY WE CAN I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WHAT WE CAN SHARE IS ALMOST HALF OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN KINDERGARTEN. DID NOT ATTEND PRE K OKAY. YES SO WHEN? WHEN WE AVERAGE CHILD, THE RESULTS WOULD WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS, BUT WE KNOW THAT ALMOST 50% OF THEM DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO ATTEND. BREAKING. OKAY, OKAY.
AND WHILE YOU'RE THERE. WHAT'S THE TEACHER STUDENT RATIO AT EDISON LOFTS. WE HAVE 17 TO 1.
BREAKING. THREE ARE THERE ANY INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANCE ASSISTANCE, RIGHT, UM, MOVING TO SLIDE NUMBER 20. MM HMM. SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SPIT POPULATION LITERACY. AS IT RELATES TO THE RENT 360 BILL Y. AND I SEE THAT IS THAT 29. UM WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT SPED ARE ENCOUNTERING AS FAR AS THE LITERACY, THEIR LITERACY. FOR OUR STUDENTS AND SUPPORTING THEM. WELL THEN OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE TAKING RENT SOME OF THESE STUDENTS ARE IN A CO TEACHING INCLUSION SUPPORT SO THEY MIGHT BE IN A IN OUR GENERAL ED CLASSROOMS THAT ARE RECEIVING THE SUPPORT SERVICES AND, UM THEY'RE BEHIND ON THEIR READING LEVEL, OR THEY COULD BE STUDENTS WHO ARE UM, PULLED FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMMING THAT ARE STILL ART ID TO TAKE THE ASSESSMENT. SO IT COULD BE A RANGE OF. ACADEMIC NEEDS THAT EXIST IN THAT 29% THERE, OKAY, BUT IT IS DATA THAT WE LOOK AT AND THROUGH OUR DIP. UM STRATEGIES BY LOOKING AT SUB POPS TO SEE HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THAT SPECIFIC SUBGROUP OF STUDENTS. UM AND THE STRATEGIES THAT MIGHT BE SPECIFIC TO THEM. WE DO ENSURE THAT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS WHO TEACH READING AND MATH, THEY GET CONTENT BASED TRAINING AS WELL AS UM, TRAINING THAT IS SPECIFIC TO SPECIAL EDUCATION. OKAY? AND SO LET'S GO BACK TO SLIDE NUMBER 19. AND SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SPIRIT, POP. I'M NOT SPARE POPULATION, BUT I E. L L POPULATION AND I'M LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS. AND I'M QUITE CONCERNED. WHAT ISN'T NORMAL. HMM. DAILY AGENDA LOOKS LIKE FOR AND I DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOM. WHAT WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION THERE? SO IT DEPENDS ON THE GRADE LEVEL. UM, AND WHAT THE IMPLEMENTATION MODEL LOOKS LIKE. SO UM, THEY STILL HAVE A STRUCTURED DAY SIMILAR TO A FIRST GRADE MONOLINGUAL CLASSROOM IN THE SENSE THAT THEY'RE STILL ALLOCATED, UM, 90 MINUTES FOR MATH INSTRUCTION 45 MINUTES FOR SCIENCE INSTRUCTION AND SO THEIR THEIR THEIR SCHOOL DAY IS STILL ALLOCATED SIMILARLY TO A MONOLINGUAL FIRST GRADE CLASS, WHERE IT CHANGES IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS IS SPENT IN THE SPANISH ROUSSEFF'S ENGLISH. UM. LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTIONS. SO IN FIRST GRADE, THEY MIGHT HAVE TIME IN THEIR MATH BLOCK WHERE THEY'RE LEARNING PIECES OF THE MATH IN ENGLISH AND THEN PART OF IT WHERE THEY'RE LEARNING IT IN SPANISH, WHEREAS IN SECOND GRADE , WE MIGHT HAVE MORE ENGLISH AND SPANISH ALLOCATED AND THE OTHER CONTENT AREAS SO IT THE AMOUNT OF SPANISH AND ENGLISH. THE AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT ON THAT VARIES. BASED ON THE GRADE LEVEL. WE HAVE A CHART THAT KIND OF SHOWS HOW MUCH TIME IS SPENT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH THAT I CAN PROVIDE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BY GRADE LEVEL BECAUSE IT CHANGES OVER TIME. UM AND THEN. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RESOURCES. RIGHT SO IN A IN A DUAL LANGUAGE CLASSROOM, THEY NEED TEXTS IN ENGLISH AND TEXTS IN SPANISH. SO THEY ALSO HAVE DIFFERENTIATED RESOURCES THAT ARE USED IN IN THOSE CLASSES
[00:50:02]
THAN THEY HAVE IN THE MONOLINGUAL CLASSES. UM, AND THEN THERE'S DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT WE USE, LIKE, UM PREVIEWING, UM, CERTAIN VOCABULARY IN SPANISH SO THAT WHEN WE TEACH IT IN ENGLISH, THE KIDS ARE BEING ABLE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS, SO THE STRATEGY IS DIFFERENT THAT TIME ALLOCATION OF THE LANGUAGES IS DIFFERENT. BUT THE OVERALL STRUCTURE OF THE DAY UM. LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO A MONOLINGUAL CLASSROOM IN TERMS OF UM, TIME APPLE ALLOCATION.FOR EACH CONTENT AREA. OKAY? SO I HAVE A QUESTION AND MAYBE YOU NEED TO CLARIFY. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE SOME CLARIFICATION FOR, UM, THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING. SO WE OFFER DUAL LANGUAGE AND 1ST AND 2ND GRADE CORRECT. ONLY KINDERGARTEN 1ST AND 2ND GRADE. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THE DUEL IN SECOND GRADE, SO WE'RE EXPANDING AS THE GREAT LEVELS GO UP. 3RD 4TH AND 5TH GRADERS, STILL AN EARLY EXIT PROGRAM UNTIL THE KIDS MATRICULATE UP, OKAY, OKAY, AND WE DO NOT OFFER ANY DUAL LANGUAGE PRE CAPE FOUR. DO WE OR DO WE NOT? WE DO, OKAY? YEAH.
ALL RIGHT. ALL MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS JONES. MR HAMBLETON. YES JUST BRIEFLY. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE PRESENTATIONS. UM I ASKED MRS DAY IF I COULD USE A TEACHER'S NAME, MISS YOUNG. I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT AN ALL STAR TEACHER. NOT BY HER NAME WHEN I WHEN I'M NOT UP HERE, BUT THANK YOU, FOR THAT WAS PART OF THE LEARNING TOUR THAT WE DID IT AT A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT YOUR CAMPUS LAST SCHOOL YEAR AND SAW THE LITTLE LITERACY PROGRAM IN ACTION. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION, THE UPDATE AND FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU'RE DOING TO MAKE THE PROGRESS THAT WE WANT TO SEE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR HAMBLETON, HELENA. UM. SO YOU KNOW, I TO PIGGYBACK ON MR HAMILTON'S. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TEACHERS THAT ARE MAKING THIS HAPPEN EVERY DAY. IT'S WORKING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IS UM, NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. AND I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR PUTTING THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER AND HELPING THE BOARD FOCUS A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON STUDENT OUTCOMES. AND SO I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION AND THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ANSWERED HERE. BUT AS I YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE THINKING, MORE AND MORE ABOUT, UM INADEQUATE FUNDING AND IN TRADITIONAL PUBLIC EDUCATION. I AM WONDERING WHEN I THINK IT WAS AROUND. THE TIME HOUSE BILL THREE CAME OUT WAS WHEN THE FULL DAY PRE K FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS WAS. FUNDING UM, WAS IT WAS IT ADEQUATE? WAS IT 100% FUNDING? UM TIM TO MEET THAT MANDATE WHERE THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE GIVING US BIG BAGS OF MONEY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. MISS HAN AND I WOULD LOVE TO RESPOND IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. THAT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. BUT THAT IS, IN FACT NOT WHAT HAPPENED THE WAY THAT THE STATE HANDLED HOUSE BILL THREE, AND THE INCLUSION OF FULL DAY PRE K IS THAT THEY FUND HALF A DAY 88 FOR PRE K STUDENTS, AND THEN THEY ADDED A AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TERMINOLOGY USED, BUT IT WAS A READING ACCELERATED READING COMPONENT TO FUNDING. WHERE THE EXPECTATION THAT YOU USE THAT FUNDING TO FUND THE OTHER HALF DAY OF ATTENDANCE FOR PRE K STUDENTS, SO AND SHORT ANSWER. NO IT WAS NOT FULLY FUNDED AT THE STATE LEVEL WHEN THEY INTRODUCED FULL DAY PRE K ALTHOUGH THEY WOULD TELL YOU YES, IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS ADDITIONAL COMPONENT, BUT I THINK THAT YOU WOULD HEAR FROM MELISSA FROM CAM THAT ARE DR LAWSON AND MRS HUBBARD, THAT THE ISSUE THAT WE FACE IS THAT THE READING NEEDS IN THE DISTRICT ARE GREAT ENOUGH THAT WE COULD FULLY UTILIZE ALL OF THAT FUNDING JUST ON READING RECOVERY FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS. BUT WERE FORCED TO USE A PORTION OF IT FOR PRE K FOR READING FOR READING AND INTERVENTION. JUST TO BE CLEAR. WE DON'T HAVE READING RECOVERY AND HAVEN'T HAD THAT SINCE 2016. OKAY, SO THANK YOU. UM THEN I JUST I WANTED I KIND OF WANT TO CLARIFY SOME INFORMATION. UM YOU KNOW, IN IN MY IN MY DREAM, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE UNIVERSAL PRE K FOR ALL OF OUR KIDS, AND IT WOULD BE FUNDED FULLY BY THE STATE. UM I'M A DREAMER. UM BUT I WANT TO LOOK BACK AT SLIDE 19 VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE I KNOW. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSCORE THAT IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK AT THE DATA, BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT
[00:55:01]
FOR US TO CONSIDER HOW THE DATA DOESN'T TELL THE FULL STORY AND SO AND I WANT STAFF TO KNOW. I'M NOT ASKING FOR THIS INFORMATION, BUT I'M I'M WANTING TO SAY THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE B, A S AND THE SCL DATA FOR 1ST AND 2ND GRADERS. WHAT WHAT STAFF IS NOT BRINGING US IS STATISTICALLY EQUATED DATA, SO IT'S NOT THAT LIKE WE'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE KIDS THAT HAVE SIMILAR SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. UM. SO, SO IT'S A VERY BROAD BRUSH RIGHT AND SO ARE R B A S DOES INCLUDE SL KIDS RIGHT INCLUDES WAVED DENIED SERVICE E S L KIDS. IT INCLUDES OUR SPED KIDS THAT AREN'T IN A DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM. BUT IT'S ALSO INCLUDED. YOU KNOW IF WE HAD A STATISTIC, STATISTICALLY EQUATED HOW MANY OF THE GT SECOND GRADERS WOULD THERE BE IN COLUMN ONE VERSUS COLUMN TWO. AND SO I THINK THAT, UM AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION OF THE DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM BEING OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, GETTING TO TWO BUCKETS OF LANGUAGE. TODAY IS A DIFFERENT CONCEPT. BUT I JUST I WANT TO BRING THAT TO THE BOARD. IT'S SO GOOD FOR US TO LOOK AT THE DATA.AND TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON, BUT TO ALSO CONSIDER THE DATA IS NOT STATISTICALLY EQUATED IF EVERYBODY'S. FOLLOWING WITH ME. SO AGAIN THANK YOU TO STAFF. MY LAST QUESTION IS, DO WE VERY CLEARLY COMMUNICATE TO PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN RECEIVE INTERVENTION IN MATH OR LITERACY? AND I COULD PROBABLY HAVE MISS YOUNG SPEAK TO WHAT THEY DO AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL. BUT UM AND INDUSTRIAL. YES, BUT. SO OUR TEAM HAS BEEN WONDERFUL WITH PROVIDING A C TEMPLATE FOR THE LETTER TO NOTIFY OUR PARENTS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE RECEIVING INTERVENTION IN THE AREA AND AS WELL AS THE TEAR AND THE CONTENT OR THE SKILL THAT THEY'RE RECEIVING INTERVENTION. AND SO WE DO PROVIDE THAT ALONG WITH THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER. WE LET THE PARENTS KNOW THAT THAT IS FORTHCOMING. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IT WILL BE SHARED OUT. BUT WE DO SHARE THE RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION LETTER OR I LETTER TO OUR FAMILY SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THEIR STUDENTS ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MISS DAY. THANK YOU, MR HANNAN. AND I THINK I CALL ON MY TRUSTY FEDERAL TRUSTEES UP HERE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK. I THINK WE ALL HAVE THE SAME GOAL, UM, TO IMPROVE THE STUDENT PERFORMANCE, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THE REPORT FOR THE END OF THE YEAR REPORT. SO THANK YOU. SO I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. WHAT QUESTION? AH WHEN DOES MIDDLE OF THE YEAR DATA COME OUT SO WE CAN CHART THAT MHM ARE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. WINDOWS VARY. FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY, BUT WE WILL HAVE ALL OF THE DATA BY THE END OF JANUARY, OKAY? AND THEN WE WILL, UM PROVIDE YOU ALL WITH THAT ONCE WE HAVE COMPILED. THANK YOU, MR JONES. JUST TO CLARIFY. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A DATE ON OUR DRAFT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT CALENDAR. SO YEAH, LOOK AT THAT. THANK YOU. YES SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR? YEAH FIRST BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. THANK YOU. SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
[6.B. Annual Comprehensive Financial Report]
WHICH IS A NEW COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT. MR MARTINEZ. I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO YOU. THANK YOU, AND I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, BRIAN GWYNN, WHO WILL WORK WITH THE STAFF FROM WHITLEY PIN TO MAKE THIS PRESENTATION TO US THIS EVENING.GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'LL KEEP THIS BRIEF AS MR GARCIA MAKES HIS WAY TO THE PODIUM. BUT THIS EVENING, WE ARE PRESENTING THE RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT. I WILL NOT STILL ANY OTHER HIS STANDARD OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT THE RESULTS OF THIS REPORT ARE POSITIVE. AND WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR GARCIA TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE RESULTS OF THAT REPORT. GOOD EVENING, MADAM PRESIDENT.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MS MARTINEZ. MY PRESENTATION TODAY WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE AUDIT RESULTS. FINANCIAL STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND END WITH THE REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS ON THE DISTRICT'S FISCAL YEAR. 2023 FINANCIAL STATEMENT, AUDIT AND FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT. I LAURA LYNCH WAS THE SENIOR MANAGER WORKING WITH MANAGEMENT HERE AT THE DISTRICT THROUGHOUT THE AUDIT, AS WELL AS CYNTHIA GUERRA, WHO WAS THE ON SITE SENIOR AND TOM PETERSON WAS THE SECOND PARTNER. REVIEWER OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT, THE FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT REPORTING KEY WORK PAPERS IN OUR AUDIT FILE. THE AUDIT PROCESS CONSISTS OF TWO PHASES OF FIELDWORK DURING THE SUMMER. WE PERFORM INTERIM PROCEDURES, WHICH FOCUS ON YOUR INTERNAL
[01:00:03]
CONTROLS, TESTING TRANSACTIONS AT A DETAILED LEVEL, GAINING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISTRICT'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AND WE ALSO IDENTIFY THE MAJOR PROGRAMS DURING INTERIM FIELDWORK IN THE FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT AND PERFORMED THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLIANCE TESTING. DURING INTERIM FIELDWORK ONCE THE FISCAL YEAR IS OVER A YEAR. FINAL FIELDWORK HAPPENS. TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE FINANCIALS ACCOUNT BALANCES THE TRANSACTION CLASSES CONFIRMING BALANCES, WITH THIRD PARTIES, PERFORMING A VARIETY OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES AND OTHER SUBSTANTIVE PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT OUR OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AS EXTERNAL AUDITORS. WE CAN ISSUE A FEW DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON A SET OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WE'VE EXPRESSED THE UNMODIFIED OPINION , WHICH IS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A CLEAN OPINION, SO THAT CAN BE FOUND WITHIN THE REPORT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FINANCIAL SECTION. THAT UNMODIFIED OPINION INDICATES THAT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ARE FREE OF ANY MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS. WE ALSO ISSUE A REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS. IN THIS REPORT, WE WOULD HAVE REPORTED ANY MATERIAL WEAKNESSES OR SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES THAT WE MAY HAVE COME ACROSS THROUGHOUT THE AUDIT, WHICH WE DID NOT, AND WE DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY MATERIAL NONCOMPLIANCE. SO THIS WAS A CLEAN REPORT. AND THEN THE THIRD AND FINAL REPORT IS IN REGARDS TO THE DISTRICT FEDERAL PROGRAMS, THE MAJOR PROGRAMS AND FISCAL YEAR 2023 INCLUDED TITLE ONE AND THE SPENDING OF THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM. SO TITLE ONE AND ESSER OVERALL YOUR SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES. THE FEDERAL AWARDS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR TOTALED $110.8 MILLION. AND WITH THOSE TWO MAJOR PROGRAMS OVER 50% OF THAT WAS SUBJECT TO COVERAGE IN THE FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT. WE EXPRESSED AN OPINION HERE AS WELL OVER THE DISTRICT'S COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO THE MAJOR PROGRAMS ARE OPINION HERE IS ALSO AN UNMODIFIED ARE TESTING DID NOT RESULT IN ANY QUESTION COSTS OR ANY FINDINGS OR ANY NONCOMPLIANCE, SO GOOD NEWS HERE AS WELL. WITHIN THE REPORT. YOU HAVE YOUR GOVERNMENT WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, WHICH IS THE STATEMENT IN THAT POSITION. THIS REPORTS ALL THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE DISTRICT AS OF THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, TOTAL ASSETS AND DEFERRED OUTFLOWS OF RESOURCES AS OF JUNE 30TH 2023 TOTAL TO $2.3 BILLION OF THAT AMOUNT THAT'S PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF YOUR CASH AND INVESTMENTS. AND YOUR CAPITAL ASSETS, NETTED APPRECIATION. YOUR LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES TOTALED $2.6 BILLION. THAT'S PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF YOUR OUTSTANDING LONG TERM BONDS PAYABLE AND TWO LIABILITIES RELATED TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN TRS PENSION AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, WHICH IS RETIREE HEALTH CARE. UM THESE TWO LIABILITIES ARE MEASURED BY TRS THEIR AUDITORS AND THERE ARE ACTUARIES. THEY CALCULATE THESE AMOUNTS ABOVE FOR ALL THE EMPLOYERS AND THESE PLANS AND THE DISTRICT'S RESPONSIBILITIES. REPORT IT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THESE LIABILITIES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BECAUSE OF THE PENSION AND OPENED LIABILITY NET POSITION IS SEXY IS IN A DEFICIT POSITION. YOUR LIABILITIES EXCEED YOUR ASSETS BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO VERY, VERY LARGE. LIABILITY SO YOU HAVE A DEFICIT NET POSITION OF $364.2 MILLION. THE NET PENSION LIABILITY INCREASED QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. SO ON THIS SLIDE, I SHOW YOU WHAT THAT NET PENSION LIABILITY HAS BEEN OVER THE FIVE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEARS. THE REASON FOR THAT SIGNIFICANT DECREASED LAST YEAR AND NOW THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE THIS YEAR. THERE WAS SOME ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS THAT WERE MADE. THE DISCOUNT RATE WAS DECREASED LAST YEAR COMPARED TO THIS YEAR AND THEN LAST YEAR AT TRS. THEY EXPERIENCED RECORD INVESTMENT RETURNS, WHICH HELPED OFFSET THE LIABILITY. SO THAT WAS KIND OF A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. AND SO NOW THE LIABILITY IS KIND OF BACK UP INTO THE RANGE WHERE EVERYONE WOULD EXPECT FOR IT TO BE. THE KEY PERCENTAGE HERE IS THAT FUNDED RATIO PERCENTAGE. ANYTHING ABOVE 75% IS CONSIDERED A WELL FUNDED PENSION PLAN AND THE PENSION WORLD. SO TRS IS A GREAT ADMINISTRATOR. UH CURRENT EMPLOYEES AND RETIREES THAT ARE IN TRS CANNED THEY ALL REST ASSURED THAT THAT BENEFIT WILL BE THERE FOR THEM NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. AS FAR AS RETIREE HEALTH CARE GOES A DIFFERENT STORY. THE FUNDED RATIO PERCENTAGE HERE IS 11.5% THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A PAY AS YOU GO BENEFIT ALL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT GO INTO THE RETIREE HEALTH CARE PLAN IMMEDIATELY GO OUT TO PAY FOR CURRENT BENEFITS.THERE'S NOT A LOT BEING SET ASIDE AND CASH AND INVESTMENTS TO FUND FUTURE BENEFITS. THE OPIUM LIABILITY HERE FOR THE DISTRICT DID DECREASE IN THE PRIOR YEAR AT $147.9 MILLION.
THE GENERAL FUND IS THE DISTRICT'S MAIN OPERATING ACCOUNT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.
TOTAL REVENUES TOTALED $738 MILLION.60 TO ALMOST 63% OF THAT IS PROPERTY TAXES, FOLLOWED BY STATE AID AT 28% YOU HAVE TRS ON BEHALF, WHICH IS OTHER STATE FUNDING OF $37.9 MILLION. SOME
[01:05:05]
FEDERAL FUNDING IS RECORDED IN THE GENERAL FUND. 16.2 MILLION, WHICH REPRESENTS 2. AND THEN ANOTHER 2% OF MISCELLANEOUS LOCAL FUNDING, WHICH IS PRIMARILY YOUR INVESTMENT INCOME. TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023, OR 743.3 MILLION OF THAT BALANCE. MOST OF THAT IS GOING TOWARDS INSTRUCTION AND INSTRUCTION RELATED SERVICES 60% FOLLOWED BY FACILITIES, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS AT 10.5% INSTRUCTION AND SCHOOL LEADERSHIP WAS 9.5. YOU HAVE 6.9% FOR STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES. THAT'S PRIMARILY GOING TO BE, UH, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. STUDENTS TRANSPORTATION STUDENT NUTRITION , YOU HAVE SECURITY MONITORING AND DATA PROCESSING OF 3.7% AND ALL THE REMAINING FUNCTIONAL EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES WERE 3% OR LESS. YOUR BUDGET TO ACTUAL FOR THE GENERAL FUND. FINAL REVENUES EXCEEDED BUDGETED REVENUES BY A MILLION AND A HALF YOUR BUDGETED EXPENDITURES WERE YOUR FINAL EXPENDITURES WERE LESS THAN BUDGETED EXPENDITURES BY ALMOST $13 MILLION. OVERALL YOU DID HAVE A DECREASE IN FUND BALANCE BECAUSE YOUR EXPENDITURE IS ANOTHER USES EXCEEDED YOUR REVENUES AND OTHER SOURCES. THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR NOW THAT THE GENERAL FUND HAS EXPERIENCED A DECREASE IN FUND BALANCE. THIS YEAR, IT'S ONLY 6.6 MILLION LAST YEAR. IT WAS 9.2 MILLION IN THE YEAR BEFORE. THAT WAS 25.3 MILLION. SO AT THE END OF THE YEAR FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND TOTALLED 200.2 MILLION, OF WHICH 2.2 IS A NON SPENDABLE FORM, MEANING PREPAID AND INVENTORY. AND THEN YOU HAVE TWO CATEGORIES OF FUN BALANCE THAT ARE EARMARKED EITHER BY THE BOARD OR BY MANAGEMENT FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SPENT, BUT THEY ARE EARMARKED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES. COMMITTED FUND BALANCE WAS 58.8 MILLION. ASSIGNED FUND BALANCES 5.2 AND THEN UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCES. 134 MILLION. THE DISTRICT DOES HAVE A FISCAL POLICY TO COMMIT 30 DAYS OF OPERATING EXPENDITURES IN THE GENERAL FUND WITH THAT 30 DAY COMMITMENT, PLUS YOUR UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE. YOU HAVE A GOAL OF MEETING 25% OF YOUR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES AND YOU CAN SEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023. THE DISTRICT IS IN FACT, MEETING THAT 25.GOAL WITH UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE IN THAT 30 DAYS THAT'S BEEN COMMITTED. THERE'S TWO ADDITIONAL BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULES AND THE REPORT 14 YEAR CHILD NUTRITION OPERATIONS AND ONE FOR THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. REVENUES IN CHILD NUTRITION WERE LESS THAN BUDGETED REVENUES BY 300,000 EXPENDITURES WERE LESS THAN BUDGETED EXPENDITURES BY 3.6 MILLION. OVERALL THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN FUND BALANCE IN THE CHILD NUTRITION FUND OF 10.5 MILLION FOR AN ENDING FUND BALANCE OF 23.9 MILLION. IN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. THIS IS THE FUND THAT THE DISTRICT'S PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS ON ITS LONG TERM DEBT ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. REVENUES WERE GREATER THAN FINAL BUDGETED REVENUES BY 400,000. YOUR EXPENDITURES WERE LESS THAN BUDGETED EXPENDITURES BY 300,000 . OVERALL YOU DID HAVE AN INCREASE IN FUND BALANCE HERE OF 27.5 MILLION FOR AN ENDING FUN BALANCE. 141.8 MILLION. THIS IS AS OF JUNE 30TH 2023 45. DAYS LATER, THE DISTRICT HAD TO MAKE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR WAS USED FOR THE DISTRICT IS FOLLOWING ALL CURRENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. THE DISTRICT IMPLEMENT A NEW PRONOUNCEMENT RELATED TO HOW SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND SOFTWARE LICENSES ARE ACCOUNTED AND REPORTED IN THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO INCLUDE ESTIMATES THOSE ESTIMATES CAN CHANGE IN THE FUTURE BASED ON DIFFERENT DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE BY VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS. SOME OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES ARE RELATED TO ANYTHING RELATED TO STATE FUNDING. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF VARIABLES THERE.
ALLOWANCES FOR YOUR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION RATES AND THEN ANYTHING RELATED TO PENSION AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS IS BY FAR THE LARGEST ESTIMATE AND YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THAT COMES FROM TRS AND THEIR AUDITORS AND ACTUARIES. NO DIFFICULTIES TO REPORT AND PERFORMING AND COMPLETING THE AUDIT. WE HAD THE DISTRICTS FOR COOPERATION. ANYONE WE NEEDED TO MEET WITH WAS MADE AVAILABLE.
ANY QUESTIONS WE HAD WERE ANSWERED IN TIMELY MANNER. DOCUMENTATION WE ASKED TO REVIEW WAS PROVIDED. SO WE DO THINK THE DISTRICT FOR THEIR COOPERATION AND THEIR PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THIS MONTHS LONG AUDIT PROCESS BECAUSE WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, MAKING THIS PRESENTATION THE DISTRICT IS ON TIME. TO FILE AND MAKE ALL ITS VARIOUS SUBMISSIONS OF THIS REPORT BECAUSE THERE'S SEVERAL AGENCIES WAITING FOR THIS REPORT TO BE ISSUED. OUR PROCEDURES DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS, NO DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND MANAGEMENT ON ANY MATTERS TO REPORT TO YOU. WE DO OBTAIN A LETTER FROM MANAGEMENT AT THE END OF THE AUDIT. THAT LETTER READS LIKE A CHECKLIST JUST TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAS OCCURRED SINCE FIELDWORK BEFORE THIS REPORT IS ISSUED THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE RECORDED OR DISCLOSED AS FAR AS WE ARE AWARE OF THE DISTRICT IS IN CONSULTING WITH ANY OTHER AUDITORS ARE ACCOUNTANTS ON ANY FINANCIAL REPORTING OR AUDITING MATTERS. AND THEN THE LAST BULLET ON THIS SLIDE. DURING THE YEAR. WE MAY
[01:10:06]
ANSWER QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE ON CERTAIN THINGS, BUT AT NO TIME DO WE FEEL THE WAY WE ANSWER OR THE POSITION WE TAKE ON IT ON ANY MATTER IS A CONDITION TO OUR RETENTION AS THE DISTRICT'S EXTERNAL AUDITORS SO THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION OVER THE AUDIT PROCESS. THE AUDIT RESULTS, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS AND THE REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE THOSE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.THANK YOU, SIR. I'M GOING TO READ FOR YOU, UM, WITH YOUR FULL NAME BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MR GARCIA HERE. YOU CAN BE CONFUSING. SO UM, THANK YOU, MR LOPEZ GARCIA AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS REPORT TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, SO I WILL START WITH THE OTHER COMMITTEE CHAIR. MR. UM MADAM PRESIDENT. IF I MAY MAKE TWO COMMENTS, I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE TWO THINGS OR ONE THING THAT MR GARCIA SAID, AND ALSO ONE OTHER COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE PAST ONE IS THAT THERE WERE NO MATERIAL INFORMATION THAT HE NEEDED TO REPORT TO THE BOARD. THE AUDITORS ARE COMPELLED TO REPORT ANY INFORMATION THAT WE DO NOT PROVIDE THE UN FOR WHEN I SAY THAT IF THEY EXPERIENCE ANY DIFFICULTIES IN THERE, AND SO THIS DOES INDICATE THAT STAFF IS FULLY COOPERATING WITH THE AUDITORS, AND THAT REGARDLESS I WANT TO MAKE THAT EMPHASIZE THAT STATE MINT. THE OTHER IS THERE HAVE BEEN STATEMENTS MADE IN THE PAST, SOMETIMES EVEN WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT THE DISTRICT WHEN IS THE DISTRICT GOING TO HAVE ITS FINANCIALS AUDITED? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS THE DISTRICT HAS ITS FINANCIALS AUDITED EVERY YEAR, AND SO EACH YEAR, MR GARCIA, AT LEAST IN THE EIGHT YEARS I'VE BEEN WITH THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN HERE TO DO THAT PRESENTATION. AND SO I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE IF YOU ALL HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY THIS HAS DONE EVERY YEAR AND WANTS THE BOARD HAS DONE THE FINAL APPROVAL OF THIS AUDIT. WHICH WILL OCCUR AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. IF YOU ALL VOTE TO APPROVE IT, THIS WILL BE REPLACED ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE . AND AS MR GARCIA INDICATED, SUBMITTED TO TA AND OTHER BOND RATING AGENCIES THAT REQUIRE THAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU, MISS GWEN FOR THAT CLARIFICATION , AND WE I MEAN, I'M ON THE BOARD. I THINK EVERY YEAR WE DO HAVE THIS FINANCIAL REPORT SO THERE IS SOME MISSING INFORMATION IN THE COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION, ESPECIALLY TODAY BECAUSE TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION . I'M GOING TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR THE FOR THE BOARD. MR RE GARCIA. THANK YOU, MISS JUDY DAY. APPRECIATE IT. MHM. UM. SO THANK YOU, MR GWEN. I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA MAKE ONE OF THOSE POINTS IS I KNOW FOLKS. IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION OF WHAT THE DISTRICT WE DON'T EVER AUDIT OR WE DO, OR WE SO THAT'S THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
UM WHEN THE OTHER THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO AH, BRING UP IS THAT THIS IS BASICALLY UM. AND I WROTE THIS DOWN, SO YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE OVERALL FINANCIAL , HEALTH AND OVERALL FINANCIAL PRACTICES OF THE DISTRICT, MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NO QUOTE, WEAKNESSES OR DEFICIENCIES. UM WHAT WOULD BE DESCRIBED AS A QUOTE, WEAKNESS OR DEFICIENCY. IF YOU WERE TO FIND ONE, AND YOU AND YOUR REPORT YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T FIND ONE. BUT WHAT WOULD BE SOME EXAMPLES? JUST JUST SO THE COMMUNITY WOULD UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT THAT MEANS SHORT. SO WHEN WE AUDIT SCORED SHIRTS, WHAT'S VERY COMMON CLOSING THE FISCAL YEAR AND POSTING CLOSING ENTRIES CAN BE A CHALLENGE AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE HAVE WEAKNESSES OR DEFICIENCIES. IT'S RELATED TO THAT CLOSING PROCESS. RECONCILING YOUR GRANTS, UH, POSTING ALL THE KRUL'S LOOKING AT PAYMENTS THAT WERE MADE AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR, BUT WE'RE RELATED TO FISCAL YEAR 2023 IN REGARDS TO GOODS AND SERVICES THAT PROVIDE THAT WERE PROVIDED, UM, ACTUALLY RECONCILE IN BACON COUNTS THAT IS A CHALLENGE FOR SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS IS STAYING ON TOP OF THOSE MONTHLY BANK RECONCILIATIONS. UM IF YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YOUR BANK RECONCILIATIONS. IT'S VERY HARD TO DO EVERYTHING ELSE KIND OF THE WHEELS FALL OFF AND IT GETS VERY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO RECONCILE OTHER ACCOUNTS CAPITAL ASSETS. IT'S A HUGE AREA. IT'S A HUGE BALANCE IN YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, RECONCILING YOUR CAPITAL ASSETS ALL YOUR EDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND RECORDING AND RECORDING THEM AS CONSTRUCTION, PROGRESS, BUILDINGS, VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT, CALCULATING APPRECIATION. UM THOSE ARE SOME OF THE COMMON AREAS THAT WOULD COME UP THAT DO COME UP IN AUDITING OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WE DIDN'T COME COMING RUN INTO THOSE ISSUES HERE. A LOT OF TIMES. IT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO PROPOSE MATERIAL ADJUSTMENTS THAT'S GOING TO BE FOLLOWED BY SOME TYPE OF WEAKNESS OR DEFICIENCY, BECAUSE WHY DO WE HAVE TO PROPOSE ADJUSTMENTS IN ORDER TO HAVE GAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS? IF YOU'RE A TEAM MEMBERS WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU GET INTO, YOU KNOW, HAVING AN UNMODIFIED OPINION, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO WORK ON. OR THERE'S WEAKNESSES OR DEFICIENCIES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THINGS CAME UP THROUGHOUT THE AUDIT PROCESS AS A RESULT OF OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES THAT REQUIRED MATERIAL ADJUSTMENTS. MANY. HOW MANY
[01:15:03]
YEARS YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YOU'VE BEEN HERE EIGHT YEARS AND YOU'VE BEEN WHEN HE PINS BEEN DOING OUR ANNUAL UH, AUDIT. EIGHT. I GUESS EACH OF THOSE EIGHT YEARS CORRECT WHOEVER RECEIVED AN, UM ALRIGHT EVERY EVER RECEIVED ANY MODIFIED OPINIONS? NO YEAH, RECEIVING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A MODIFIED OPINION WOULD BE A HUGE RED FLAG TO THE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORS. SO YOU DO NOT WANT TO NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN UNMODIFIED OPINION. UM NO.AND I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE THE OPENNESS AND APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO. AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT MR GWEN AND YOUR STAFF DUE TO PREPARE, UH, FOR THIS REPORT, AND I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT DOING A COST SAVINGS AND AUDIT. THIS IS WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PREVIOUS MEETINGS, AND THIS IS SEPARATE FROM FROM WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COSTS OF EXCITED I DO THINK THAT, UM THAT'S STILL PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT THAT I STILL FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT.
JUST IN THE ESSENCE OF TRYING TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE TAXPAYER DOLLAR. YOU HAVE AN ELECTION COMING UP. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TAX RATE. UM, SO WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENSURE PUBLIC TRUST AND MAKING SURE THAT THINGS ARE BEING DONE AS THEY SHOULD. AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO ENSURE THAT THERE THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE HAVEN'T YOU KNOW , IT DOESN'T HURT TO TAKE ADDITIONAL LOOK AND SEE WHERE THINGS WE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT IN OTHER AREAS. SO OR THAT GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. STAFF AND I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, MR RICK GARCIA. UM I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS. I ALSO SERVE ON THE RD COMMITTEE. AND UM, I JUST WANT TO COME FIRM EU REPORT THERE. YOU PUT IT VERY CLEARLY. THERE'S A STATEMENT. I WANT TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION TO THE FULL BOARD. SO THIS REPORT, YOU'RE CLEARLY STAYED OUT. THERE IS NO EXPRESS ANY OPINION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DISTRICT. INTERNAL CONTROL IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S A CORRECT STATEMENT. OUR OPINION IS ON THE MATERIAL, FAIRNESS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THAT YOU'RE FOLLOWING GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. YOU CONSIDER THE DISTRICT'S INTERNAL CONTROLS FOR DESIGNING. OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES, BUT WE'RE NOT EXPRESSING AN OPINION ON YOUR INTERNAL CONTROLS. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I THINK THAT'S ICULS. MR RECORD GARCIA'S OPINION. AH I DO BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOME COST SAVINGS OR, YOU KNOW, UM, AUDIT. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE SO I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENTS. MR RE CASSIA, AND I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, MR LUPE GARCIA.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH A PRETTY LARGE CHUNK OF POLICIES FAIRLY QUICKLY. UM AND THERE WERE TWO CATEGORIES AND ONE WAS ALIGNMENT AND ONE WAS COMPLIANCE RELATED POLICIES. AND SO WE HAD A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT EACH OF THOSE POLICIES LOOKED THROUGH WHAT THE CHANGES WERE. WHAT LEGISLATION WAS MAKING WAS DRIVING THE CHANGE AND THE POLICY COMMITTEE. SUPPORTED MOVING, MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE POLICY CHANGES. I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANY OBJECTIONS FROM ANY OF THE THREE OF US. SO WE WERE WE WERE GOOD WITH WITH BRINGING THESE TO THE BOARD AND FAIRLY QUICK ORDER, SO THEY WERE FAIRLY SIMPLE CHANGES DRIVEN BY STATE LAW CHANGES. THANK YOU, MR HAMBLETON. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE'RE GONNA CARRY ON SEVEN C, WHICH IS THE FINANCIAL REPORT, WHICH IS, UH, HAVE THE PRESENTATION SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT 70.

NEXT PRESIDENT. IF I MAY ON THIS, WE DO HAVE OUR BOND COUNSEL, MR JONATHAN FRILLS HERE THIS EVENING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THESE NEXT SEVERAL ITEMS AND THEN ALSO ONLINE. WE HAVE MICHELLE ARAGON WITH HILLTOP SECURITIES TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR SIDE IF NECESSARY, MR BRIAN, I WANTED TO ASK YOU SINCE MISS MALONE IS NOW HERE. DID YOU READ? UM GIVE THE PROVIDERS INFORMATION TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AHEAD OF YES, IT WAS SENT TO MISS MALONE. THANK YOU, MS KWAN. SO, UM DO YOU HAVE THE BUDGET COMMITTEE MEMBERS HERE? DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? BECAUSE I DO REMEMBER? WE PUT THIS INTENTIONALLY PUT ASIDE THE BLOG FOR THE BONDS. AND THEN UM, SO I GUESS MR FUENTES CONFIRMED BEING STANDARD TO MR MILLAN TO BUDGET COMMITTEE. DO YOU HAVE ANY HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET? I HAVE NOT.OKAY SEEN IT EITHER. OKAY GOLD HOPEFULLY WILL BE THE MEAT BEFORE. OKAY SO SINCE THIS IS THE WORKSHOP, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION ITEMS, SO I GUESS MISS JONATHAN. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. UM SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE IS THE CONVERSION ORDER FOR SERIOUS 2020 TO BE BOND. I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE ANY. AND NEXT ONE IS A JUDGE. FIXED THE RATE BOND ORDER FOR NEW MONEY AND REFUNDING BONDS AND COMMERCIAL PAPER. UM MADAM PRESIDENT, WOULD IT BE OKAY IF WE MAYBE JUST GET AN OVERVIEW OF THESE ITEMS? SO, YES. SO MAYBE I'M. SO, MR JONATHAN, CAN YOU IS THAT POSSIBLE TO DO GIVE US A SUMMARY OR OVERVIEW? JESSE IN GENERAL IN ENGLISH SHORT. BREAK UP. AND AS HE'S MAKING HIS WAY, WHAT I'LL SAY IS THAT THIS IS AN THESE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, OR A STANDARD GROUP OF ITEMS THAT WE BRING TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION EACH YEAR. IT SETS THE PARAMETERS THAT WE WILL USE FOR THE UPCOMING CALENDAR YEAR IN ORDER TO HANDLE OUR BOND TRANSACTIONS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WILL POINT OUT RELATED SPECIFICALLY TO THE INTENT TO REIMBURSE. ALTHOUGH WE ARE DOING THIS IN NOVEMBER, IT WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER OF NEXT YEAR, AS WELL AS ALL OF THESE ADDITIONAL ITEMS. ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN REVIEWED WITH OUR BOND COUNSEL AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AND SO I'LL LET MR FARRELL'S MAKE COMMENTS GENERALLY ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT THE SHORT IS WE'RE SETTING OURSELVES UP TO BE FLEXIBLE AND TO MEET CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS AS THE BOND MARKET CHANGES, AND YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE INTEREST RATE TURMOIL THAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. THIS ASSUMES ASSURES THAT WE CAN MEET THE MARKET WHERE IT IS AND MAKE THE MOST APPROPRIATE DECISION WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO SEEK THAT FLEXIBILITY AND MISS POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MARKET. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE THIS EVENING OUT VERY QUICKLY RUN THROUGH THESE. THE FIRST ITEM THAT WAS ON THE LIST WAS A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING INTENT TO REIMBURSE AH, EXPENDITURES TO BE INCURRED. WHAT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO IS PRIOR TO ISSUING EITHER COMMERCIAL PAPER OR BONDS FOR NEW MONEY PROJECTS TO SPEND MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND FOR THOSE PROJECTS, UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'RE AVOIDING THE INTEREST COST ON THE EITHER COMMERCIAL PAPER OR NEW MONEY BONDS DURING THAT PERIOD, SO WHEN YOU HAVE SMALLER PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE DOING, OR YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD UP TO AN AMOUNT THAT YOU'RE ULTIMATELY GOING TO REIMBURSE QUICKLY. THAT CAN HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR INTEREST RATE EXPOSURES. YOU'RE DOING THAT AND ALLOW CONTRACTS TO BE LED ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS, SO ENSURING THAT YOU'VE GOT TO GET FUNDING THAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO DO THAT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS SET UP TO DO. IT IS A FAIRLY STANDARD ITEM THAT'S ON THE ON THE AGENDA EACH YEAR, AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE THE CONVERSION ORDER FOR THE 2019 A BONDS IN THE 2022 BONDS. THOSE ARE VERY SIMILAR, SO I'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE TOGETHER. THOSE ARE BOTH SERIES OF VARIABLE RATE BONDS THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE OUTSTANDING COMING UP THIS SUMMER. THEY WILL ROLL OUT OF THEIR CURRENT INTEREST RATE MODE , AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO A NEW INTEREST RATE MODE. AND SO YOU WERE OBLIGATED AT THAT TIME TO EITHER CONVERT THEM TO A NEW INTEREST RATE MODE. OR FIX THEM OUT INTO A FIXED RATE PERIOD. SO THIS IS THE DOCUMENTATION THAT ALLOWS US TO KIND OF MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROCESS. IT ALLOWS YOU TO GO TO A NEW INTEREST RATE PERIOD THAT MAYBE ONE YEAR OR UP TO FIVE YEARS. IT GIVES YOU THE ADMINISTRATION THE ABILITY TO MAKE THAT CHOICE AND CONSULTATION WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE BEST MARKET IS FOR THE FOR THE DISTRICT. IT ALLOWS YOU TO KIND OF SET YOURSELF UP TO DO REFUNDINGS IF YOU NEED TO, OR TO LOCK IN A SHORTER INTEREST RATE PERIOD. IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO. THEN WE HAVE TWO ORDERS FOR BONDS. WE'VE GOT ONE. THAT'S A FIXED RATE ORDER
[01:25:04]
AND ONE THAT'S A VARIABLE RATE ORDER. THOSE BOND ORDERS ALLOW YOU TO DO SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS ONE. YOU DO A LOT OF FINANCING THROUGH COMMERCIAL PAPER FROM TIME TO TIME, AND SO IT ALLOWS YOU TO CONTINUE TO USE THOSE COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAMS, WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU MINIMIZING YOUR INTEREST COST OVER TIME. AH AND IT ALLOWS US TO TAKE OUT UP TO $150 MILLION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER WITH WONG TERM OBLIGATIONS. SO THE COMMERCIAL PAPERS, INTERIM FINANCING IT ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE THAT OUT UP TO 150 MILLION NOW, THE TOTAL AMOUNT AND IT'S IMPORTANT AS WE TALK ABOUT THESE TWO ORDERS. IT'S NOT AUTHORITIES STACKED ON AUTHORITY WE CAN USE UP TO 150 MILLION UNDER EITHER OF THE TWO ORDERS BUT NOT TO EXCEED $150 MILLION TOTAL. IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO DO UP TO $100 MILLION IN NEW MONEY BONDS ON TOP OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN COMMERCIAL PAPER, TAKE OUT AND THEN ALLOWS YOU TO UNDERTAKE REFUNDING FOR SAVINGS. UNDER THE NEW MONEY BONDS. YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL SERIES OF BONDS THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE, DEPENDING ON THE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT TO BE TAKEN OUT FOR SAVINGS, AND THEN ON THE VARIABLE RATE BONDS THAT WE HAVE SET UP FOR CONVERSION. IF THE MARKET IS RIGHT, IT MAY MAKE SENSE TO TAKE THOSE OUT WITH REFUNDING BONDS, AS OPPOSED TO CONVERTING THEM. SO YOU MAY WANT TO FLIP THEM INTO THE SAME SERIES OF REFUNDING BONDS TO MINIMIZE KIND OF YOUR COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT CHANGE.AND MAYBE YOU CAN GET SOME ECONOMIES OF SCALE FROM DOING A FULL RE FUNDING ALL THE SAME TIME. SO THIS IS A SUITE OF ORDERS THAT ALLOWS THE ADMINISTRATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FINANCING IN THE IN THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS WAY POSSIBLE FOR THE DISTRICT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. BUT I WILL ADD ONE THING TO WHAT JONATHAN MENTIONED AND THAT IS THE $100 MILLION IN NEW MONEY THAT HE MENTIONED. SPECIFICALLY THAT AMOUNT IS BASED ON THE CASH FLOW OF PROJECT COSTS THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO US BY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. AND SO THIS IS A LINING THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE WOULD ANTICIPATE IN ISSUING AND BONDS WITH WHAT THE PROJECT TIMELINES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE. THANK YOU, MR JONATHAN. THANK YOU, MR GUAN. ACTUALLY I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU, MS MARTINEZ, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY. I THINK EVEN UP TO TODAY, PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY STILL HAVE SOME CONFUSION REGARDING BONDS AND THE BTR IMANI, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT . WE HAD THIS EVEN THOUGH IT'S VERY SHORT DISCUSSION. BUT THIS CLARIFY THE DIFFERENT USE OF THE BOMB MONEY WITH THE MONEY. IF WE PASS THE ABILITY ARE YOU THE MONEY WE CAN USE SO WE CANNOT USE THE BOND MONEY TO GIVE A TEACHER SALARY INCREASE. I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT TO THE PUBLIC AND, UH AND ALSO, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND IT'S CRITICAL. WE HAVE THIS REPORT THE FINANCIAL REPORT TONIGHT AND THE BONDS. UH DISCUSSION TONIGHT , SO THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MS HANNAN, UM JUST TO SORT OF EMPHASIZE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I APPRECIATE MR GWYN. HE GAVE ME A AN ANNUAL TUTORIAL TODAY, WHICH I HAVE TO ASK FOR REPEATEDLY EVERY YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD BECAUSE THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. UM BUT WHAT I WANT TO UNDERSCORE IS SO BEFORE WE HEARD FROM MR LUPITA LOOPY LOOP. LUPE EXCUSE ME, GARCIA TALKING ABOUT THE AUDIT AND THEN BUT I WANT TO. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSCORE FOR THE PUBLIC AND FOR MY COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW, THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY TODAY IS, UM, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THAT ARE. OUR CFO AND OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE ALSO LEANING ON BOND COUNSEL. AND OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS TO HELP US MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS AT THE RIGHT TIME AND SO TO ENABLE THEM TO ALL DO THAT. UM WHETHER IT'S FOR COMMERCIAL PAPER OR FOR THE BONDS. WE HAVE TO GRANT THEM THAT PERMISSION. TO DO THAT. SO WE'RE OPENING IT UP A LITTLE EARLY, SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS HOPEFULLY RIGHT SAVE SAVE THE DISTRICT SOME MONEY AND SO I APPRECIATE THE, UM VERY INVOLVED. WORK I'M I AM NOT A FINANCIAL UM, MIND.
UM, BUT I APPRECIATE THE LEVEL OF DETAIL. UM THAT HAS TO GO INTO THIS WORK, SO THANK YOU. UM I APPRECIATE IT. UM MR GWYN AND MR FRILLS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR HANNAN AND. WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE, WHICH HE IS. WE HAVE A RINK REVEAL OF PROPOSED EXPENSE THAT MORE THAN $50,000.
WE ONLY HAVE ONE ITEM, WHICH IS A COLLEGE AND CAREER PLANNING PLATFORM. AH, BEFORE WE CONTINUE
[01:30:04]
THE QUESTION. UM MS MARTINEZ, CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BIT INFORMATION ON THIS SITE? UM THANK YOU. YES ANOTHER SOME ADDITIONAL NEEDS THAT OCCURRED WITH THE UPDATES OR THE REVISIONS TO POLI I SEE LOCAL AND DR LAWSON CAN GIVE SOME MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THOSE CHANGES. AND WHAT REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE BASED ON THOSE CHANGES. SURE SURE. GOOD EVENING. THIS SCHOOL LINK SYSTEM THIS $75,000 WOULD ALLOW FOR AN AUTOMATION TO OCCUR WHEN STUDENTS ARE MAKING SELECTIONS BASED ON THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS IN THIS SYSTEM SINCE OUR CLASS RANK IS NOT IN OUR TRANSCRIPT, THIS AUTOMATION WOULD ALLOW FOR A RANK LETTER TO BE SENT AGAIN BASED ON THE STUDENT'S ELECTIONS IN THE SYSTEM, SO IT WAS AN ANTICIPATED NEED AGAIN ADJUSTING TO THE NEW POWER. POLICY ALONG WITH THE NEW SYSTEM. OUR COUNSELORS AND REGISTRARS TOOK ON THIS WORK THIS YEAR AND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR AUTOMATION AND WOULD REMOVE THE WORK FROM THEM AND IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU, DR LARSON. FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LIKE THAT? THE FACT THAT THIS IS JUST ALLOW SCHOOLING TO PROGRAM THEIR SYSTEM TO WORK FOR US. THIS IS A SPECIAL THAT THEY FEATURE THAT THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THANK YOU, MR LANGFANG, MISS HANNIGAN. TO CLARIFY THIS IS JUST A ONE TIME EXPENSE. IT'S NOT AN ANNUAL EXPENSE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S DOING FOR US. IT'S TAKING TAKING OUR HANDS OFF OF IT AND HELPING IT ISN'T ACCOUNTS LOAD. SURE IT IS AN ANGEL EXPENSE AT 75,000 COVERS US UNTIL OUR CONTRACT FOR APRIL OF 2028 ANNUALLY. THAT MISSING SO, DOCTOR LICENSE. CAN YOU CLARIFY THIS $75,000 NOT ANNUAL COST, THOUGH. IT'S THE IT'S A FIVE YEARS. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO I'M SORRY. IT'S 75. OVER THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD, NOT 75 PER 75,000 OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.OR AS MR GWYN IS WHISPERING TO ME $15,000 PER YEAR. WHY THANK YOU, MR GORDON. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT AND THEN THIS ISN'T REALLY NECESSARILY ABOUT THEIR APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM. BUT JUST AS A PARENT WITH A STUDENT WHO IS UTILIZING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME. UM JUST, YOU KNOW, I WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO HAVE IT. DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES THAT I DO THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE SOMEHOW SURVEY OUR SENIORS AND MAYBE OUR STAFF AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERACTING WITH SCHOOL LINKS, UM TO KIND OF GAUGE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION OR FEEDBACK, YOU KNOW, UM, AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THE BOARD TO KIND OF KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. IF THIS PROCESS. UM WORKED WELL FOR OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS HANNAH. YOU MET MY SKILL IS PRETTY GOOD. SO.
SO I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS AND THAT'S ALL THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT, SO CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO ADJOURN? WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
