to not but they're very nature their enter did not hard to understand the details unless you're studying so having those things to study he hope the next step what about a refinement that makes that able to be 1r7b8d listed and assessable to people besides people at the school sites so i'm hoping that helps us and the public what is the multi tiered level of support i want to end by saying i appreciate that it actually has changed the vocabulary the different levels how we decide where the schools are and kids are and i think that is very important we we're actually it is part of our
3:31 am
ability to dpaevent needs whether it is schools programs are students or classrooms and i think that is very important so i'm just requesting that sort of public information which goes through us could be one the first testers of that to make it for assessable to people and thank you very much. >> sxhaep then commissioner walton. >> thank you for this and the information you've provides water and for the work that has gone into this and advanced information that will be continued to be provides water i appreciate the things that are coming to us i want to say something quickly i very much q agree to what was said before me if i understood it and in that is i think a question that i
3:32 am
would ask considering we're going to what i think of as both the next level of m t ss but the next levels of the thinking about the superintendent zone we really want to say important to undermine for sometime in that district the superintendent zones were a major strategy that really reflected our commitment to the highest needs schools and the preventively low perform schools and the earthquake and justice that framework is no longer in existence after that; right? beginning next year that feels like a big deal in a number of ways i understand how it feels like that system we have this is an improvement on that i understand everything you've said with that but what
3:33 am
would be helpful and not during the budget process that is what i heard commissioner wynns and commissioner fewer's comments more clarity and specific around what worked in what schools how far and i sort of need you know that is that learning is reflected in the new systems but that learn is important for us to be more out there about where we see the deep the transform and specifically those as a relative it seems like that was the purpose of superintendent zone to get here soy know we're going there i think that connection is important for us for what it feels last week it really needs to be pulled out more so we understand it and we
3:34 am
can as a board champion those real solutions and approaches that cellist and all of us in the community he can and again similar to what commissioner fewer said this sort of system change piece of it at the end feels very important there is the wrap around and the extra staffing and extra thresholds zone and such but those kinds of things if you've had 75 percent turn over in the school and brand new administrators those are wrap around folks you're putting if are covering for substitutes and helping the new teachers it is really it is some some ways not seeing the whole picture to understand that aspect what other strategies are we also using to fix those
3:35 am
problems that keep on happening every year that are systemic that we can spend our money better in the allocated staff if that continues to replicate itself every year the challenges around the changes will remain that is also what i'd like to see and the specific strategies in general wanting to see i know not pragmatic and stuff but how do we move the ball and how do we be more aggressive and do more if something worked from the superintendent zone how to do ten times more this is what the board wants to understand and benefit from the learning we've accomplished in the past years and accelerate to a scale
3:36 am
as well as system i's it maybe up until now what i'm guessing your we are that system allows us to think that way i appreciate that i hope we think that way as quickly as possible and as transparencyly and clearly; right around what we learned and how to go about it. >> commissioner walton. >> want to thank the team for sitting down with us prior to that meeting and taking the time for the systems of support i don't know why we can't come up with a simpler name but i appreciate the pill last year's i support this but i do appreciate the fact that we are coming up with strategies that allow flexibility for resources
3:37 am
to go to schools outside of what typically the schools do within their budget the one thing i do hundred percent agree with commissioner fewer on is the resources for infrastructure things that ordinary person sustain through turn over and certain systems there is technology centers and professional development plans and strategies that go to the schools to support of faculty if place regardless of the turn over or not i appreciate the thoughtfulness behind what we're trying to accomplish it would be great to make suretolysis strengthening components that really get to the infrastructure pieces that helps our schools to be sustainable i have to say regardless of what staff is available
3:38 am
and then i appreciate 2 of $.1 million allocated to m t ss that talks about tennis outlet i'm in favor of more possibilities for resources to support the system and i appreciate that work thank you. >> any other comments? i just want to thank the team an enormous amount of work you've done the cost analysis on all the schools and locate on-line them and summarizes them in terms of the tiers but i want to emphasis commissioner norton's point we want to communicate that to the families and the parent siding has been good at taking dense
3:39 am
abstract materials that we kick around in that building and make that very understandable and comprehendible to the families i encourage you to work with the parent advisory committee on how to make that more assessable to our families because i know i share this experience with in a colleagues of getting e-mails messages from families why those resources are torn away from the schools and understanding as commissioner fewer said the science behind the discussion will help thank you very much for your work and for the presentation and deputy superintendent >> a couple of comments first of all i want to appreciate this is not the work after a small team but a cross divisional body of work in many ways lead by the superintendent and the support teams working in partnership with the leaders
3:40 am
that have been deployed through the rp and others departments has been critical we want to get to a point of sophistication this is dashboarded for the general public comment to generate reports on their own and part find holy grail to determine the strategies that work for certainly pocket and breakdown the achievement gap it is in our next reraising we're prototyping some of the things we've learned early on point out not in only the superintendent zoning but a number of schools across the district who similarly had achievement gaps
3:41 am
that accelerated outcomes many lessons learned so the more the team came together to identify what the standardized approaches and the more unique and customized approaches are as helps. >> in the sort of continuous improvement and i'll continue to say advertise it not a central managed issue you have to exercise all the legislators you'll say the 2015-2016 proposed budget a continuing to turn the dials up with the street formula and the concentration money and the t ss support going in that equitable was that's important we know that is only our third it ration to undo generations of conditions permeated some of the schools
3:42 am
and some of our work hats to the been disconnected from other system level work; right? to address on for example commissioner fewer brought up the sort of the issue for example, of concentrations of students disabilities; right? that's our work in m t ss is not sdiblgd one the steps to objective not all the families with the students of disability have the options to maintain a consistent pathway there is an unequal program where do you think they were in schools that had space so we think that after a couple of years of work which our commissioners fielded a little bit of community we've realigned those and provides water the families a broader
3:43 am
away u array the choices and students have the same opportunity for the learner introduce an elementary or other experience those are big lobbyists big accomplishment that are a healthy balance for the thriving conditions to engage in if this this is our third it arbitration what is working and dispense there's a level of education we need to side more outreach we'll like to partnering with them to think about how to take what can be sort of perhaps you know a lot to understand in the concept is simple greater need greater support if we understand your needs we can be more exact of
3:44 am
the concept that's it in the in a nut shell when we think about an r ti we want to think about our schools >> add one thing so deputy superintendent when you give us that spreadsheet are they more support or less supportive thank you very much. >> thank you so much that concludes item n we move to item n cds resolution roved at the previous meeting there are none tonight and o vote open the consent calendar with the expectation of k-32 moved and seconded ms. casco roll call. >> ms. fewer. >> mr. haney
3:45 am
ms. mendoza-mcdonnell except items k-34 and their attractive and ms. norton mr. walton ms. wynns dr. murase. >> thank you item p consent calendar resolution severed for board action k-32 commissioner norton. >> yes actually i have a request like a data request about this which is that it is for a school loop, i.e. building it is renewing how loop contract i realize we've not seen an evaluation how school loop st. is working how many parents are using it what's the impact it is having i'd like to see that i know in general i'm a fan the tool as a parent but i
3:46 am
think that is definitely depends on where your teacher uses it regularly and exclusively and our school sites uses it i think that is - i'd like to see some evaluation and data around how it is being used and where can it improve and you know what kinds of initiatives what about put in place to expand the tool my personal experience some teachers use it and some don't. >> commissioner fewer. >> you know that's a good idea because i had an office experience with school loop it is something that we could probably improve on i don't know whether or not it is used more at some schools and speak grades you know is it elementary more and more high school that high
3:47 am
school more than elementary so i'd like to see that this is is a community it has the potential to side much more than one way condominium conversion of a teacher giving information to a parent but ignites or a catalyst i'd like to see that. >> and also i mean what's the how many families are using it like there is lots of data i'd like to see that we don't have to spend a ton of the time but you get the idea. >> one of the things we were supposed to be monitoring process towards can we make it a requirement that everybody uses it to if in the intervening
3:48 am
gradually have an impact if we leave it as being voluntary and never reassess where we are towards the ability to make it commentary we can't get the information what he want to know about the progress. >> i don't want to resolve this issue tonight i'll remind the commissioners we have the budget and closed session following this so superintendent for a response. >> great suggestion i don't want to steal the trirnd from our superintendant would say dying to answer that i want to remind the commissioners we're just finished the first year's laptop initiative 0 all of the secondary administrators and
3:49 am
special educators get the laptop and next year the other teachers point a point to commissioner wynns point we'll be able to then make it a requirement that you know there's a certain amount of updating that happens as the contractual all the time with the caveat district defenses. all the teachers just yet >> just that is a great baseline we'll be able to see the impact of the laptop program. >> okay i believe that will come to curriculum committee at some point in the future. >> i was thinking a written update with the data, however, you want to do that. >> okay. on k-32 ms. fewer mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton
