OUR NEXT TWO EVENTS ARE TRANSITION FAIR OPEN HOUSE ON APRIL 23 AND SPRING DANCE APRIL 30. I WENT TO THE DANCE BUT NOT GOING THE SPRING DANCE. ARE YOU GOING TO THE DANCE ALENA? AS YOU KNOW, LAUREL HAS A VARIETY OF CLASSES, WE ARE BOTH EVEN IN THE SAME HOME ROOM WITH MR. DARREN. OUR SCHOOL HAS ABOUT 130 STUDENTS WITH VARIOUS ABILITY LEVELS.

ANOTHER NEW PROGRAM WE HAVE AT LAUREL THIS YEAR IS AN APPOINTMENT SKILLS CLASS WHERE STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT READY TO PARTICIPATE CAN STILL GO OFF CAMPUS TO ORANGE GROVE SCHOOL. LAUREL HAS ONE CLASSROOM THERE SET UP LIKE A MOCK GROCERY STORE AND CLOTHING AREA. STUDENTS GET TO TAKE THE BUS OVER THERE ONCE A WEEK AND PRACTICE THEIR SKILLS. LIKE-FACING THE PRODUCTS AND HANGING CLOTHES BY SIZE. WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CUSTOMERS. IT IS VERY SUCCESSFUL. ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS IS OUR SCHOOL WIDE BANKING AND STUDENTS PROGRAM STUDENT CARRY BANK BOOKS. TO EVERY CLASS AND EARN 0 TO $5 PER PERIOD BASED ON THEIR CLASS PARTICIPATION BEHAVIOR FOR EACH CLASS. THEN EVERY WEEK DURING 5TH PERIOD, STUDENTS GO TO THE STUDENT STORE. STUDENTS LEARN DIFFERENT JOB SKILLS. OF THE SOME OF THE JOBS ARE START SET UP, GREETING CUSTOMERS, BANKING AT THE STORE.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US WHAT YOU DO. MOST PEOPLE TELL US ABOUT IT, BUT YOU LET US EXPERIENCE WHAT YOUR DAYS AND WEEKS LOOK LIKE AND THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL. MOST OF US HAVE BEEN OUT TO THE SITE A COUPLE TIMES, BUT IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD REMINDER AND JUST FELT LIKE WE WERE THERE WITH YOU TODAY SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND I NOTICE WE HAVE QUITE A BIG SUPPORT TEAM IN THE AUDIENCE, SO IF YOU ARE HERE TO SUPPORT THESE LOVELY LADIES AND LAUREL RUFF, WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR HAND OR STAND UP AND JUST BE RECOGNIZED?

STUDENT VOICE IS IMPORTANT TO US, BUT IF YOU LIKE TO LEAVE AND EVERYONE HERE TO SUPPORT THEM, WE WILL BE OFFENDED IF YOU TAKE YOUR LEAVE AT THIS TIME. (APPLAUSE) WE DO NOT HAVE REPORTS FROM STAFF SO WE ARE F3, WE DO HAVE A REPORT FROM THE VICE CHAIR OF THE CURRICULUM STANDARDS COMMITTEE, MRS. PATSY GAVIC. >> GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR HEARING THIS REPORT TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. THE TIME YOU GIVE ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENT AND STAFF. I SERVE AS THE VICE CHAIR ON THE CURRICULUM STANDARD COMMITTEE AND REPORTING IN PLACE OF MARIA. I LIKE TO BEGIN WITH A THANKS TO THE STAFF WHO BRING REPORTS TO OUR COMMITTEE BEFORE THEY REACH THIS BOARD. THERE ARE [INAUDIBLE] ON BEHALF OF SAN JUAN FAMILIES AND STAFF IS CLEARLY SEEN. EVERY TIME THEY REPORT TO US. TONIGHT I REPORTING ON THE COMMITTEE REVIEW OF THIS YEAR'S TEXTBOOK AND LEARNING MATERIALS SELECTION PROCESS. THE CURRICULUM AND STANDARD COMMITTEE DOES NOT DIRECTLY SELECT THE MATERIALS, SUBJECT ARE SPECIFIC ADOPTION COMMITTEES BEGAN THAT WORK LAST SPRING. THEY CONSIST OF SITE TEACHERS AND SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DISTRICT PROGRAM DIRECTORS WHO YOU WILL HEAR FROM LATER TONIGHT. THIS YEAR SAW RECORD COMMUNITY INTEREST IN JOINING THOSE SELECTION COMMITTEES. THAT WAS EXCITING. ESPECIALLY IN THE MATH PROGRAM. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THE EXPANDING INVITATION TO ALL DISTRICT FAMILIES FOR ALL ADOPTIONS, NOT JUST THOSE SPECIFIC TO THE AGES OF THE STUDENTS. MEANING, USED TO BE HIGH SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL OR THEY EXTENDED HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO BE A PART OF. WHILE INTEREST WAS LARGE, PARTICIPATION WAS LIMITED IN MANY CASES BY SCHEDULING CONSTRAINTS. OUR ROLE ON THE COMMITTEE BEGINS IN THE FALL DURING PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD. MATERIALS CONSIDERED ARE PROVIDED TO US FOR IN-PERSON REVIEW AHEAD OF A COMMITTEE MEETING. OUR PERSONAL FEEDBACK CAN BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS OPEN TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, STAFF SOUGHT INPUT ON WAYS TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PARTICIPATION. ESPECIALLY IN THE SMALLER ADOPTIONS, WHICH DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FORMAL ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. LAST WEEK, WE RECEIVED FINAL RECOMMENDATION REPORTS FROM THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND CURRICULUM TEAM. MAJOR ADOPTIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT INCLUDE, HIGH SCHOOL U.S. WORLD HISTORY, PSYCHOLOGY, K-12 MATH ALONG WITH SMALLER HIGH SCHOOL LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE ADOPTIONS. FOLLOWING OUR DISCUSSION, THE CURRICULUM AND STANDARD COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS ADOPTION OF ALL PROPOSED MATERIALS. HERE IS THE REASONING. LARGER ADOPTIONS, THE HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY PSYCHOLOGY AND K-12 MATH WHICH WAS HUGE, IT IS CLEAR THE PROCESS HAS BEEN THOROUGH AND THOUGHTFUL. IT INCORPORATES ROBUST DISCUSSION FROM STAFF ACROSS SITES OF PILOT DATA FROM TEACHERS AND FROM STUDENTS AND WITH SOME COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. FOR THE SMALLER ADOPTIONS, COMMUNITY SIZE IS MUCH SMALLER. FROM 1 TO 4 TEACHERS WITH COMMUNITY. AND MORE FROM THE SITES SPECIFIC PERSPECTIVE. CONSIDERATIONS IN ALL THE ADOPTIONS INCLUDED RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS SUPPORT, DIVERSE LANGUAGE NEEDS, DIGITAL TOOLS, AND ENGAGEMENT AND RIGOR FOR THE STUDENTS. IN MATH, THE RECOMMENDATIONS REFLECT HANDS ON RESEARCH BASED MATH APPROACHES. HISTORY, CONTENT RICH MATERIAL FOR MEANINGFUL ANALYSIS WHILE REMAINING ACCESSIBLE TO DIVERSE LEARNERS AND LANGUAGES. I LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ESPECIALLY THE EFFORT BEHIND THE TK-12 MATH ADOPTION. MOST ADOPTION COMMITTEES CONSIST OF 10 TO 12 MEMBERS, NEARLY 60 TK-[INAUDIBLE] INCLUDING PILOTING IN THE CLASSROOMS. AND MANY ARE CONTINUING WORK TO SUPPORT THE EXPECTED IMPLEMENTATION AND THEIR PEERS. THAT'S EMOTIONAL TO ME. THAT SUPPORT. I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IT. THANK YOU. IN RESPONSE OUR COMMITTEE DISCUSSION INCLUDED BALANCING THE PRINT AND DIGITAL TOOLS FOR THE STUDENTS. INTEGRATION WITH DISTRICT AI TOOLS EMERGING. HOW 6 WEEK PILOT CAN BE TRACKED EFFECTIVELY TO EVALUATE AND THE OVERALL SITE STAFF RESPONSE. WE ASKED IF THE SITE STAFF ARE EXCITED TO GET STARTED AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE. THE TEAMS HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED WHEN WE ASKED THE TEAMS HAD ALREADY ADDRESSED THE CONSIDERATIONS WE BROUGHT FORWARD, WHICH SPEAKS A LOT TO THE PROCESS. THEY ARE PREPARING A STRONG SITE INTEGRATED SUPPORT PLAN FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION. DETAILS THEY WILL SHARE LATER. WE APPRECIATE THE CARE AND COLLABORATION THAT HAS GONE INTO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESPECTFULLY FORWARD THEM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. FROM OUR COMMITTEE, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVING APPOINTING US GIVE US TO SUPPORT THIS WORK. AND AS YOUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE, ON CURRICULUM STANDARDS AND PROGRAMS, IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP YOU,
