Therefore, ANY individual who would like to address the Board should do so by signing in ten-minutes prior to the start of the meeting.

Effective July 01, 2025, through June 30, 2026 Goals 1. Student Success (Increase Student Achievement via Student Centered Instruction) BACKGROUND The district currently uses Canvas as its Learning Management System (LMS), which provides a centralized platform for course delivery, alignment to district standards, equitable grading practices, and access to instructional materials anytime and anywhere. Renewing Canvas is essential to maintain consistent instructional delivery, ensure continuity during student or teacher absences, support personalized learning, and provide teachers with data to monitor student progress and target interventions. Without renewal, the district would lose a unified system that supports instructional equity, accessibility, and alignment across all schools. ANALYSIS Canvas provides the essential tools needed to maintain consistent, equitable, and data-driven instruction across the district. Renewing Canvas ensures continued access to features that support high-quality teaching and learning. Canvas allows the district to build and maintain standardized, standards-aligned master courses, ensuring consistency across campuses. Its grading tools, rubrics, and learning-outcome tracking promote equitable assessment and give teachers clear insight into student progress. Tools such as SpeedGrader, Announcements, Calendar, and Chat streamline communication and allow teachers to provide timely feedback and real-time updates to students. Canvas Analytics supports data-driven decision-making by giving educators actionable information on student engagement and performance, enabling targeted support and interventions. Parents can also monitor student progress, strengthening home-school communication. Renewing Canvas ensures the district can maintain consistent instructional delivery, equitable practices, strong communication, and data-informed support for all students. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IMPACT Renewing Canvas will directly support student achievement by ensuring consistent access to high-quality, standards-aligned instruction across the district. Canvas provides students with clear course structures, timely feedback, and 24/7 access to learning materials, which helps keep them engaged and on track—even during absences. Canvas’s grading tools and learning-outcome tracking promote equitable assessment practices, giving students a clearer understanding of expectations and progress.

Should a member be unable to attend all scheduled Board meetings within a given month, their compensation will be prorated based on the percentage of meetings attended. However, exceptions to this policy may be made by the Board, provided they comply with relevant legal provisions, such as Education Code 35120 , which governs such compensation guidelines. ANALYSIS A Board member may receive compensation for meetings they were unable to attend if the Board, through a formal resolution, determines that the absence was due to performing designated services for the district, illness, jury duty, or other hardships that the Board deems acceptable. This provision aligns with the stipulations outlined in Education Code 35120 , ensuring that members are fairly compensated in situations beyond their control, provided the absence meets the criteria set by the Board. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IMPACT By ensuring that the district remains responsive to the values, beliefs, and priorities of the community, the Board creates a foundation for policies and practices that are student-centered and equity-driven. This alignment promotes greater community trust and engagement, supports culturally relevant instruction, and strengthens partnerships that enhance student learning and well-being. Ultimately, a responsive and inclusive governance model contributes to improved academic outcomes, increased student engagement, and long-term success for all learners.

The program uses movement, mindfulness, and interactive digital lessons to teach students essential skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. The implementation of Move This World aligns with the district's commitment to fostering a positive school climate, mental health, and student well-being.
