SGTA Board Meeting Bullets
MEETING OF THE GOVERNING BOARD 
October 26, 2021
(Notes are Abridged)
1. OPENING PROCEDURE
A. CALL TO ORDER   at  6:01pm
B. ESTABLISHMENT OF QUORUM  
President Haas is not in attendance, she is at Science Camp.
2. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD
Gia C. : Fence along Broadway concerns that building fences is not building community.  Spending $68k on a fence that was already good is not a good idea. There is no voice being represented, especially me, who has kids with athletics.  Why was a good fence taken down and why money was spent and who made that choice to put that up? I have 2 children who grew up in SG school. There is no place for them to play competitively that is accessed to the public.  I was forced as a parent to have them go to private school because of this.  Our community does not have a field accessible to play baseball in the city for ages 14+. There is nothing being done in our city to support athletics or kids in athletics and I hope that can be addressed in the future. 
3. RECESS TO CLOSED SESSION at 6:06pm
4. RECONVENE TO OPEN SESSION at 7:01 P.M.
A. ANNOUNCEMENT OF ACTION TAKEN IN CLOSED SESSION -

B. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE  by Larry Ferchaw

C. APPROVAL OF AGENDA  No discussion.  Unanimously approved 

D. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD 

Edith Gonzalez: Speaking in regards to the Dual Language Immersion Program. I am addressing the Board as a parent today. Families received info about SDLI that Spanish would be taught 90% of the time. Parents were told that students  were to receive a special seal on their diploma. SGUSD dropped tha ball. There is no curriculum provided for Kinder, 1st, 2nd, and some materials for 3rd. Teacher provided materials and curriculum for 4th and 5th. Program is not up to standards. No materials and curriculum.  One teacher was gone for 5 weeks and the sub speaks broken language and students are not learning. Please invest in our students so that they are prepared for middle and high school. Where is the pathway plan? We don’t have a plan and need one so that our students can succeed.
Pearly Mautner: I am here to give some acknowledgements.  Greetings  to the board. I am the project leader of the Saturday conservatory of Music. Thank you cabinet, and Samanthan T. to approve our Covid plan so we could continue our music program.  With our recitals quickly approaching, we will be following CDC plans for large gatherings.  The conservatory pivoted from in person to virtual instruction.  Although our learning was impacted by CoVid 19, we feel that music can heal.  We look forward to collaborating with SGUSD through our conservatory.  

Latarrin Sheppard: Speaking in regards to the dual immersion program. As a parent, I feel that I let my child down. I was excited about my son attending the Dual Immersion in San Gabriel. Right now, I feel that the program is not thriving as it should. Things are just behind. I feel that I failed my son. You can make a difference by getting a Dual Immersion teacher, not just a Spanish teacher. It takes a person with knowledge of the program to make it thrive. You can make a difference. As a parent, please invest in this program. I believe in you.
Gia- I’d like to speak about the fence at JMS.  I am concerned that $68 was spent for a fence at JMS. That fence should not be up, period. There is a lack of community between the school and the city.  Maybe my problem needs to be voiced with the city.  I would like to know why all that money was spent on a fence that could have been allocated to that dual immersion program.  That fence didn’t need to be there. 

5. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES  Moved and seconded for approval. Unanimously approved.

C. REPORT - Superintendent, Jim Symonds
Thank you! It was a beautiful evening at the AYC gala.  Great to see everyone. Congrats to the Eagles who hosted an event called “GAB, GAB, GAB.” I was a judge and I had a great time. They prepared a complex topic and they had 30 minutes to prepare and it was amazing and impressive. I attended the Homecoming game and it was a joy to see the kids enjoying the game. It brought so much joy to my heart watching the kids enjoy the fireworks. It's what high school students should be doing.  The dance was well attended and kids were there enjoying themselves.  It has been great visiting all the different schools and seeing the work of the teachers and the support staff. We were worried coming into this year and if you look at our dashboard, we currently only have 2 student cases and 0 staff members at this time.  No Covid cases have originated on our campuses, they have come from the outside. Our team effort to implement the safety measures is working. Our case rates in LA County are dropping and things are looking better by the day.  Student vaccinations are on the horizon. Thank you to everyone in SGUSD. Things are looking better.

D. RECOGNITION - Eden Gomez, Gabrielino High School Student for her Acceptance to the Student Ambassador Program with Center Theatre Group, Jim Symonds
Your teacher brought this to our attention because this is so special and prestigious.
Eden: I’m planning a student-only event to promote Hadestown. If it weren't for JC Gafford, would not have applied for the program. I was never a theater kid, but JC Gafford really opened up the doors for me to have this opportunity.

JC Gafford: This is a competitive program and there are many applicants.  This is a paid leadership internship.  It is fabulous that she will have this on her resume. I am very proud of her.

Eden: It is 8 months long. I am taking classes at Cal State LA, so this is a great opportunity. It's more about leadership skills than acting. 

Scott: Well done and congratulations to JC and Eden.  She is also one of our assistant stage managers for Arsenic and Old Lace which will be at Gab soon. 

Symonds: What a special relationship you both have. We have a certificate for you. Eden, you are living our Portrait of a Graduate.

E. RECOGNITION - Gabrielino High School Speech and Debate Team, Jim Symonds

Symonds: We have certificates for you. Congrats everyone! Great job Eagles!

2. Approve the Consultant Agreement with Katherine Reynolds Lewis. All over the country, schools are noticing a regression in student behavior. Families are struggling with how to discipline their students in ways that are effective and that don’t exacerbate the behaviors. Simultaneously, schools are seeking ways to redefine their own behavioral processes. Adults need guidance in helping students to recalibrate their behavior at school and at home. This Parents as Partners event is aligned with San Gabriel Unified’s MTSS initiative of providing a multi-tiered system of support by engaging with families and communities to help support students.

9. BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS/REPORTS/COMMUNICATIONS
Scott: The amount of work and research in our ESSER plan is just amazing.  The circumstances our students deal with everyday, and we focus on academics and curriculum but we forget what our students struggle with.  For example our foster youth or our non-English speakers. I am impressed with the plan to better serve those students.  If a child is dealing with hunger or anything else, they will have a hard time learning.  I’m so impressed with the plan.  Happy Halloween everyone. 

Tcheng: First, congratulations to all that were recognized tonight. Second, I’d like to talk about the water situation in CA. Although we had good rain yesterday, we are still in a severe drought. Our water supply - we have about a year left before we hit the emergency threshold. Let’s conserve water.


Alvarado: Congrats to our honorees. We are always so impressed by the kids on the speech and debate team. They are very impressive.  Mr. Symonds and staff, thank you for keeping our students as safe as possible.  Thank you for making safety an important piece. Happy Halloween and enjoy what's happening at the different schools.

B. REPORT - Governing Board President, Rochelle Haas
Thank you everyone for the continued effort during this time. Wonderful to enjoy the windy, fall weather. Hoping to attend Wilson’s Halloween drive-through event - sounds like fun! Excited to attend football games and to see the marching band. Hope everyone is well and stays well. Thank you for everything you all do.
C. REPORT - Superintendent, Jim Symonds
It is so great to see our kids back on campus and it's hard to believe we are getting close to the end of our first trimester.  I’ve gotten out to the sites and saw how engaged they are with their learning, especially watching them hang out and they are loving being together again.
I visited Jefferson and observed how engaged the students are with their learning, technology, and the band was playing. Thank you, Jefferson staff!  I went to Roosevelt, Wilson and Washington to observe the Covid testing.  The testing staff were moving the kids quickly and efficiently.  Students did great with putting their saliva into the test tube. Thank you Mr. Perry for putting that together.  I went to Del Mar to meet with the principal to go over his goals for the year.  He’s brought in technology, robotics, and many more.  We are so happy to have you and commend you on your outstanding work.  Friday, October 1st, Gov. Newsom said that vaccinations will be required depending on the status of FDA approval.  There will be exceptions available. We are unsure of the process and will wait for guidance from the state of California. This weekend I get to be the judge of the speech and debate tournament.  Excited to go to the homecoming game at Gabrielino.  It's a great feeling because it feels like life is getting back to normal.  SGUSD is a special place to be. I’m very proud to be the superintendent of this school district.  

D. PRESENTATION - SGUSD California School Dashboard, Local Indicators 2020-2021 

Joan Perez and Gail Calhoun presented: No local indications for 19-20 due to the pandemic. The dashboard shows students and parents the report of how well we are doing. The goal of the dashboard is to affect outcome and decision making. 
6 state indicators: Priority 4 will not be reported on the Dashboard because we haven't had a normal testing year and due to inconsistencies of learning delivered due to the pandemic.
Indicators include: Graduation rates, suspension rates, Chronic absences, academics, career & college
5 Local Indicators: Basic Services, Implementation of Academic State Standards, Parent Engagement, School Climate,  Access to a Broad Course of Study
You have to report to the state how you are seeking input from parents for decision making such as measuring school connectedness and safety.
Basic Services LCFF priority 1 are MET. School facilities are safe and clean.
Implementation of state academic LCFF priority 2 standards are MET. Benchmarks and setting learning goals.
Parent Engagement is our strongest suite. We are including our parents as decision makers.  We have expanded our Parents as Partners series and Our Portrait of a Graduate Series. Our new Parent Square app is helping with parent engagement.  98% of our parents are on Parent Square.  We are seeing communication from parents like we’ve never seen. After 2 days we’ve seen over 1,000 answers on a survey.
School Climate- We use the CA Healthy kids survey.  We will continue to do this annually to look at school culture and their connectedness to their school community.
Access to Broad Course of Study- We are providing all these courses to our students and have met the criteria. 
All of this information is to help guide our decisions. We have a Cycle of Self-Reflection which will take us through Summer, Fall, Spring and Summer.  This will also provide the community of where we are at, especially with the influx of Federal money we are getting and how we’re serving our students.  Our new LCAP will be proposed in June and will take us back through the cycle. 
If anyone is looking for more information, please use the CA dashboard and click on the icons to see all the information and updates (starting October 15th). 
Haas: Thank you for all this information.  I know that our district is providing all these things so that our students get the best education and that it is reflected in our local indicators. 
Scott: I marvel at all the work to collect all this data and all the details in these boxes.  
This is a great snapshot of what our district is doing.  This data drives our future development. 

E. PRESENTATION - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) 
Expenditure Plan
ESSER III Funding Plan. ESSER III is a 2 part plan - we will hear about a draft today.

B. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES 

1. Approve the Consultant Agreement with Lynda Okerson Administration recommends that the Governing Board approve the Consultant Agreement with Lynda Okerson. As the District moves forward with a more equitable intervention program, teachers require support in teaching foundational number sense and comprehension in addition to calculation. The math interventionists are utilizing diagnostics and data in order to help guide intervention implementation. The teachers will then need to begin thinking about robust programs that can be used across sites to help support tiered intervention for all students. Consultant Lynda Okerson will guide our teachers in both implementing an intervention program that focuses on number senses and exploring programs for future use in the intervention program.

Discussion: None
Action Taken: Moved and seconded for approval. All in favor.

2. Approve the Consultant Agreement with Michele Borba Inc. Administration recommends that the Governing Board approve the Consultant Agreement with Michele Borba Inc. Supporting students during these challenging times takes a multi-tiered approach (MTSS). To achieve the goals set out by the District’s Portrait of a Graduate takes a village. Schools and families need to be prepared to help do their part to support the students of San Gabriel. Michele Borba will be supporting both educators and families in guiding our students in Empathy which, as a result, will build more Resilient schools.

Discussion: None.
Action Taken: Moved and seconded for approval. All in favor.

3. Approve the Consultant Agreement with Raising Digital Natives Administration recommends that the Governing Board approve the consultant agreement with Raising Digital Natives. During school closures, many family rules regarding technology use were negatively impacted. As a result, as students have returned to school, they are struggling with the appropriate use of technology, in particular with social media. Families are struggling with regaining ground in student tech use, in particular with tweens and teens. They need guidance in helping their students to recalibrate appropriate social behavior online. This level of support is also aligned with San Gabriel Unified’s MTSS initiative of providing a multi-tiered system of support by engaging with families and communities to help support students.

Alvarado: I agree that the staff is working hard to bring the best to our students. Personal note: My street was paved today! I also participated in the homeless committee and made sure that our students are housed and in safe places. This is important to mental health and schools are checking to make sure kids are okay. Less than 50 students are unhoused (we hope it should be 0, but I was pleased with the meeting.)

Shellhart: I always love when I can hear the kids from Washington playing and laughing. I just love hearing them across the street. Thank you to Jasmine and Gail for keeping our funds safe and where they need to go in the ESSER projects.  Thank you for doing that for our district.  The presentation that you do is so easy to understand. Thank you.

Tcheng: The atmosphere of the district is collaborative and transparent in terms of communication. Thank you Jim and cabinet and staff for putting together the information in a way that is easily understood. Attending the upcoming Asian Youth Center event on Oct. 22

Scott: I have been serving on the ROP board.  They are so thrilled that SGUSD has chosen to participate with them because they feel out east and think we are closer to downtown.  I think it’s important to have made the commitment to use this resource.  There is nothing more thrilling than to be with capable and educated people who will not stop until they do the very best that they can.  To everyone here, thank you.
