Continuous Improvement Series: Equity Update (I-1) Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Debra Calvin, Ed.D., introduced Director of Equity and Student Achievement Diana Marshall who provided an update on the work of the Equity Department. Ms. Marshall explained that the department’s current initiatives to improve school climate and culture include: expanding practices across the system, expanding social justice, forming equity liaisons and providing site-level support. Ms. Marshall stated that seven schools have taken part in customized, multi-day professional development opportunities related to socially relevant strategies, and five schools have sought assistance from the Equity Department with their school site initiatives. Principal Aaron Wurtzer and teacher Amy Day shared information related to developing school climate and culture at Will Rogers Middle School,

2212 explaining that an advisory period was added to all student schedules, allowing time to focus on social and emotional learning. Ms. Day outlined the steps in the initial implementation process of the advisory period, which has now evolved into an advisory club model that encompasses a student-influenced approach. Mr. Wurtzer spoke about the results of the staff and student climate survey, which resulted in four focus areas to help direct next steps at the school. Board members asked questions and made comments related to the Will Rogers advisory clubs (McKibbin); professional development for staff (Creason); identifying areas of success to build on and areas of improvement for continuous growth (Costa); and the refinement of the Will Rogers advisory clubs and the engagement of all practioners in the process (Villescaz). Strategic Framework (I-2) Senior Director of Professional Learning and Innovation Kristan Schnepp introduced Director of Continuous Improvement and LCAP Adam Ebrahim who presented an extensive update on the strategic framework development process which began in September 2019. Mr. Ebrahim outlined the components of the strategic framework: mission statement, shared values, equity lens and focus areas. Mr. Ebrahim explained that a task force was formed, and it was charged with generating questions for inquiry for the broader stakeholder engagement process, which included community forums and targeted outreach with cultural brokers. SJTA President Bill Simmons, community partner David Augusto and student Daisy Trotti shared their experiences as participants on the task force. Mr. Ebrahim solicited input from board members regarding the proposed mission statement, which uses a passive voice, and a revised mission statement, which uses an active voice. Board members made comments and expressed support for the revised mission statement. Mr. Ebrahim went on to explain that the strategic framework and LCAP will work dynamically together. Mr. Ebrahim posed guiding questions to the board for input and discussion. Ms. Costa stated that she found the Cultural Brokers Network report and the stakeholder comments from the forums very valuable, and that the strategic framework document reflects exemplary examples of both stakeholder voice and stakeholder engagement. Ms. Costa inquired how community members can give feedback now that the winter community forums have been canceled. Mr. Ebrahim explained there has now been a shift to a more targeted and collaborative approach, which includes focus area teams and Local Control and Accountability Plan Parent Advisory Committee (LCAP PAC) study groups, but stakeholders are still invited to give feedback at an LCAP PAC meeting or on the district website. Mr. Hernandez asked Ms. Trotti for her recommendations on how to get more students to participate in the process. Ms. Trotti stated that only four high schools were represented and that asking principals for student recommendations might be one option. Dr. McKibbin agreed that the Cultural Brokers Network report was valuable, and he appreciated the efforts to seek input from such a diverse group of stakeholders. Ms. Villescaz stated she supports involving more students in the process and that she hopes the targeted approach does not become a narrower approach. Superintendent Kern shared that stakeholder voice is much more prevalent than it was in past years, and he looks forward to the continued growth with community partners. Williams Report (I-3) General Counsel Linda Simlick explained that the district must report on the status of Williams-type complaints filed with the district per Education Code section 35186(d), which requires each school district to publicly report, on a quarterly basis, summarized data on the nature and resolution of all Williams-type complaints. Ms. Simlick stated that, during the time period from October through December 2019, there were no Williams-type complaints filed. Reduction of Classified Positions (I-4) Superintendent Kern explained that a resolution is necessary to address the statutory process for reducing or eliminating certain classified positions, effective March 16, 2020, due to lack of work and/or lack of funds. It was moved by Dr. McKibbin, seconded by Mr. Hernandez, to adopt Resolution No. 2968, reducing or eliminating certain classified positions, effective March 16, 2020, due to lack of work and/or lack of funds. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY [Villescaz, McKibbin, Creason, Costa, Hernandez].

Mr. Hernandez stated that he attended the Giving Tree event at Thomas Kelly Elementary School, where he was overwhelmed by the generosity of the community as entire families received gifts and food for the holidays. Ms. Costa commended Maintenance and Operations and Cabinet for their annual holiday events, and she noted that she, Dr. McKibbin and Mr. Hernandez attended the Kids Helping Kids 8th annual signature gala, where it was enjoyable to watch how sophisticated the students were in working with the public as they raised $85,000. Dr. McKibbin reported that he participated in Orangevale Rotary’s annual distribution of dictionaries to third-graders, and he attended the Orangevale Community Council, where all Orangevale schools were proudly represented.
