meeting that took place on may 19th those are additional changes based on community input okay. so today's outcome to briefly review the historical key components of the current 2008 action plan for english learners and discuss the key modifications of the action plan and review the community engagement suggestions that are incorporated into the new plan those railroad were the original plaintiff's it all started in 1970 a group of frustrate chinese parents at this point the district didn't provide education for the english learners the strict said it must be be provided and 1979 we operated under that plan until 2008 they inexpensive outlined the dew process this is a graphic of all the key components of our current plan that is from el placement to staff and el family owner all licked and connected to the access el d and programs and special education why have we decided to modify the deductions between all the parties started in the spring of 2012 at a point they wanted to develop a document for the priorities necessary to provide access for english learners and remove action that were integrated into the district practices and wanted to omit riemthsdz that impede our growth with the changing environment we wanted to create a policy and procedure that were system the next slide are highlight of the key modifications i'll go through this quickly they're similar to we introduced under the identification and placement we'll included timelines for the modification and we've included a employee and post evaluation including outreach for the development statement we wanted to acknowledge the next generation sign standards within the context of ongoing english pathway we wanted to incorporate some flexibility in the el with the higher influencecy for the special education there are more detailed description around the s p success process a truly distinguish between a learning disability and language issues and also implicit timeline informs laundering and interpretation for the ie p this is new we've also had reclassification criteria based on federal and state guidelines it outlines the particular criteria and more importantly calls for a data analysis of the changes we've had over the last couple of years to insure the criteria actually meets the success as we monitor the successes of our students that are reclassified parent outreach involvement the biggest change is the district is defining the major languages for chinese and english and tagalog and spanish and within the next 3 years capturing to translate documents within our resources into chinese and tagalog that wasn't in the origin decree and having restrictions with the compliance of 2018 and 19 to demonstrate this natural compliance in applying the expensive learning for learnings from april to june of 2015 we have outreached and introduced and discussed not only our curiosity el services but, of course the new modified consent decree that slide as well as the next slide includes the listing of the organizations the dates and number of participant and most recently in june we held two community workshops and may 19th we held the committee as a whole meeting with the school membership of the board based on and you'll see the masking matrix of the community comments in the matrixes two climbs the comments and responses in orange are comments we're taking in we haven't necessarily included them but being referring to the appropriate department and the last column includes the comments we've received and all the suggestions incorporated by the sections the next 3 slides includes some of the highlight for qualifications hire and recruitment we needed to include details of krurmentd activities to draw from more gifted teachers with the groups that have access to the bilingual educators under the development there were great ideas from the training and build capacity among staff to support the patent among the engrossment on a example of translation and interpretation has been included under parent guardian consumption this seems basic but it is a common theme among a lot of the stakeholders they wanted to insure that source document that do so to translation are easy for understanding for families under the parent outreach and engagement a number of oeshlgsz wants to develop a protocol for appropriate information and workshop tools for el services and the california english development task and the reclassification and english learner instruction and common theme building the capacity of english learners programs and for the function or so in the district and lastly under monitoring the internal oversight committee should invite the advisory committee in addition to the council counter language to provide them to provide a report to the i oc to invite both groups to provide their annual report we provide a longitudinal pathway there are suggestions at looking at the graduation and dropout rates pend approval by the board the participants will joining file with the board to get court approval and staff immediately begins the implements during the summer for the requirement that's all i have thank you very much for your attention. >> i have no public speaker cards for this item commissioner fewer we've come a long way with the plan you know i think even the time i've been in the district we have come a long way i wanted to say in the monitoring and could we get the comparison data in our immersion program ofes o and logical told you loans studies so that we can compare within a program e os and els their academic progress to have that for a long ranger we're hoping to eliminate the gap we only compare some and also i think you're going to monitor by rates and programs probably for fiscalness that's great and other monitoring might be how many stay within the pathway all through high school they think but i think it is better question might be not only how long do they stay but child in el in kindergarten go k through 8 at the level of eight grade if they at the exit the program they'll be reclassified before then; right? that's our goal to reclarify them as quickly as possible i mean we put in our measures when we think we still give support even after they've passed; is that correct. >> even after their reclassified we monitor them for two years for progress available assessments as well their grades. >> and then we see they're not what do you do. >> we document any types of interventions to insure their succeeding. >> have we done an intervention what is the most effective intervention and are they working well, this is should be part of the larger evaluation actually that we look at every step of the way we have els that will have been reclassified and monitor for two years we find their falling off the chart and pit in interventions to marry the interventions are indeed effective and they're working well would be good to monitor and also, if we could keep data also on our unaccompanied minors that might not have had a fluent or consistent education before they got here i guess i'm talking about i guess the kids that come in kindergarten but acquire a lot of students that are newcomers and els at a later age at 14 or 15 their needs also get somewhat accelerated they have simple little time to complete our graduation requirement and also the language. >> pie think this is kind of exist and good to get an update as a community on the whole so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> commissioner wynns. >> thank you for this presentation it is clear i really like that but i have a couple of questions i presume with you say that the modified consent decree will be present by the court we have agreement so the last time we did this we were a little bit worried so you shouldn't worry about that everyone is on board or the. >> all parties are agreed. >> and what about the funds i know the last couple of times we've been talking them into not ending the consent agreement and sometime to discuss with the board the implementations of the end of it. >> so the modified decree and after the 3 years submit the last report and the parties will have 90 days to object if they want to object for any reason and continuing after the decree we need a master plan we're mortgage by the federal and state and the board could also development a policy to implement additional monitoring structures we felt this of the appropriate. >> so i have two comments one this is really high quality work but i would have wanted to see the plan we were to dourpt before coming to the meeting this was a running theme in terms of getting the material ahead of time to have time to process it and i did want to make one amendment under its on page 32 of the proposal regarding recruitment stramgz for bilingual educators i want to add item h for culturally appropriate media outlets we've talked about with monique vascular question and the human rights department about newspapers and radios that particularly in the chinese community newspapers are widely read and that the radio plays a big role and so some of the strategies that are laid out people who already know someone about the district what we've heard from the human resources they can't find the bilingual staff using the culturally appropriate strategies is another one that should be used. >> any further questions or comments. >> does that require amendment to the proposal? so we do have agreement between the parties on what the language will be if we make is change i am not we'll not be able to come back to the where had it's to the super controversial that would be the one wrinkle we'll need in the board could approve that with or without the language and if they agree we'll put it in but if not from the board will still approve that >> so the proposal is to approve the plan with the language but if the other party it if agree i find it not be excluded but proposed propose to the other parties and i'll make a motion it is contingent upon approval of the parties you want to make that motion. >> so moved is there a second. >> second. >> i was going to add and suggest nothing to prevent the districts from volunteering to take on the obligation reaching out with the appropriate media perhaps can we approve the agreement but you can have a second motion to direct staff to or the to use cultural media is that acceptable to the president. >> yeah. i'll withdraw my original motion and we should take care of this vote and make a separate motion for the superintendant. >> so cultural there is a motion and a second on the floor to approve the sign ms. casco roll call vote. >> ms. fewer mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell mr. walton and dr. murase. >> 7 i's. >> thank you very much and now i will make a motion to request that the equivalent direct staff to use culturally appropriate media for the bilingual teachers. >> thank you very much is there any
