Event 1: Board of Education Work Session - February 5, 2019
00h 00m 00s
yes I am are you okay all right we're
just waiting for Scott okay
never wait for me yeah let's start okay
well
um I have 30 minutes actually probably
less than that now and uh about 36 or 37
slides to get through so what I uh what
I'm gonna do uh is
um uh hit some highlights but I'm not
gonna go through each slide in detail
I'm happy to pause and uh answer
questions as we go through so uh Happy
Lunar New Year and Black History Month
um
you wanna say that louder let's hear it
um
your intern Chief HR officer and have
been uh since July or so so we're gonna
walk through first some Workforce
metrics there's a lot of data here and
then I'm gonna move into a very brief
focus on what is uh HR doing and how are
we prioritizing work uh and then I'm
going to end with some information about
our leaves uh because this has been a
topic of interest and when I asked what
do you want to hear about this is one of
the topics I heard
um so we're gonna walk through this
pretty quickly
um okay just uh very quickly we consider
our hiring year to be October 1 through
October one so the data that you're
about to look at is in that time frame
slide three here is really the
definitions of employed groups so as
you're looking through this uh looking
through this data and wondering what it
means when we talk about Educators or
classified reps
or a non-represented you can come back
to slide three
as your definitions
on slide four uh what you see is our
overall employee population by work
group so you see that we have as of
October 1st 8400 employees that name
that number is actually dropped down a
little bit since then
I told you I was going to go so fast so
you're gonna have to stop me if you have
questions
Slide Five
um you see as an FTE change from this
year versus last year that is mostly
flat a little bit lower except for
educators and we went up uh a 118 ftes
last year
an educator
the scrap on the right there shows you
what's been the change uh changes since
about 2010. so where has GPS decided to
invest its budget
wait can you just stay there
do you have a question okay
thank you
um okay so here we have uh some
demographics I just want to make sure it
didn't go unnoticed that we're up over
100 Educators yeah yes
yep 118 to be exact that's not a small
number year over year
but do you know how many of those are
temps or the percentage of temps I don't
um but it's not lots of them fifth woman
is it safe to say that's really
attributable to our
staffing formula it's not doesn't have
to do with contract overages that was
negligible
a significant factor is yes
okay slide six
uh we have age and gender to the left
there and we're gonna know that uh we
looked back I had a diff I had another
slide on gender that went back eight
years and and uh Roseanne Powell pointed
out to me that it was exactly the same
for the last eight years so
you can look at that representation and
uh be confident that it shows you about
eight years of data and then of course
our race demographics there on the right
so we're going to spend more time with
those in different groups as we move
forward superintendent when are we gonna
address that Gross Texas
the gross sexism
as your as your uh Chief HR officer I'm
going to advise you not to answer that
question
so age demographics what I think is
00h 05m 00s
interesting moving on what's interesting
about that is uh when the years that our
youngest population our oldest
population switched right so uh in
between 2013 and 2015
um we had the first shift to the uh
older population or our oldest
um quartile being fewer than our
youngest and then we switched back to
2016-2017.
true
amazing retirement incentive
okay so here's where
um
we are looking at the racial makeup of
our students versus uh all of our
employees our regular employees of
course as we all know we have
aspirations about our Workforce
demographics uh and how they will
attract to our student population and
you can see where our gaps are there
I'm going to flip through some more data
on that
so here are employee demographics
specific to that
boy groups
ified rep I'm on Slide 10.
and then moving on to slide 11 how have
we done over time
we also when you mentioned aspirations
uh slides ago I've been tracking this
data to what started out as the minority
teacher act and how it's changed I
forget what it's called the newest
recording for almost 20 years you know
and the Gap just continues to widen
between the percentage of kids of color
and the portion of teachers and the
white teachers right the kids
so aspirations is one thing but again we
keep talking about this it has to be an
intentional plan right absolutely
yeah and so
um we are actively working to diversify
our Workforce and in support uh diverse
Workforce and have retention strategies
um so that our employees are working on
behalf of our students and I appreciate
that you I got a comment today from or a
couple days ago from our department at
the school saying that we got direction
from UPS that we won't be doing you
won't take as many student teacher
placements you know and I don't know
where that started but I know you're
going to look into that I really
appreciate it because the viewer that we
do then we can't
if we can't place those teachers of
career to be doing their student
teaching here they're not going to want
to work here the next I know the system
that's right I am I'm not aware of where
that rumor has originated so it's
changing what we're doing there in
practice so it's pretty significant okay
okay well that's important and we're
gonna run that to ground because I'm not
sure where that comes from
okay we'll come back
will you let us know or Roseanne will
you kind of
track that would be nice to hear back if
it is in fact true then what's the
reason and
yeah I'd like to know yeah
you should know make one observation
from all these pie charts yes
here's glancing at it that
the only category where the district is
demonstrating a greater representation
than our student demographic is black
school administrators yep right yeah
every other category is less than right
right
okay so educator versus students now I
am on to new higher demographics so this
weekend was new hires as of October 1st
of 2018.
five race and then you can see that
broken down by employee group administer
classified and non-represented
you see that number again
foreign
[Applause]
00h 10m 00s
well there's a narrative in the
community that I think it's it's about
looking at that data because
representative non-represented is
a huge we should have rattled it off at
that meeting at night
well I want to see it disaggregated
because well we could have wanted to
hear what she had just saying the four
top educators of our four top people in
charge of the academic side in this
District or Latino but I think what the
demographic I'm speaking to is there's a
lot of conversation in the community
about the lack of senior
African-American leaders that either
have left you know retired or perceived
as forced out so
helping them
so yeah
um can you talk about educator new hires
versus educator applicants yes I can so
that's slide 15 correct and what you can
see there right is the um who did we
hire out of our applicant pools I'm
going to be clear I think it's important
to note that in our educator applicants
this doesn't screen uh out uh anybody
any applicant who was deemed to be to
not meet minimum qualifications right so
you're looking at anybody who put in who
played in an application but what you
can also see is well how did we pull
from those applicant pools what was the
outcome so I consider this uh pretty
strong perform but a not a strong
performance indicator an indicator what
our
um
performance is with regard to being able
to recruit diverse applicants
um and I'm going to talk a little bit
later when I talk about HR initiatives
some of the work that we are doing on
this
hypothesis for
too I I would say that this data gives
you a lot of breath and very little
depth so what this uh says to me is that
we need to dig deeper to understand why
we are currently in process of running
um our processes uh through our racial
equity and social justice lens so that's
part of the work effort but why are we
not being able to
why do those pie charts not look exactly
the same is the question and I uh that's
going to require some Digger deeply so
so if you look at like the new hires and
applicants for the Latino population so
if there were 161 applicants yet saying
only 46 were hired so you wonder were
there that many that were not qualified
or
that seems like a really low percentage
of hires from that
right and it's difficult to say without
being able to dig down well the same for
Asian I mean
492 applicants and 25. but that also
includes people who rejected offers of
employment too yes that's correct yeah
so yeah I mean the other piece of it is
proportionately though
50 of applicants is much higher
and it's actually
the Congress room routines
but yeah so right because 46 out of
161.20 29
okay moving on
uh let's do another indicator of how
well we are doing uh with regard to
recruiting employing and supporting uh
diverse Workforce is Right Here Right
how are we doing educate our promotions
these
and you can see
broken down by race uh what among our
educator population who gets promotions
it's a relatively small numbers it's
hard to
include very much from this
so do we have some strategy in place to
um
if you look at the providing the sort of
career ladder from these specific steps
00h 15m 00s
of
instead of my sense is it probably now
is self self-selected
um
I want to try and move from this to this
but right how much are we sort of
providing
scaffolding support or you know actively
initiating conversations with people
about
moving it so they're not taking the next
step right
okay well and and second part of that is
and then about the communication
strategy because I did have a Native
American teacher in one of our schools
asked about you know is there a pipeline
or how does one move from teacher to
Administration so we have a strategy
nobody knows or very few I would say
that this is an area where we need to
spend our time and energy because I
don't think that there is a system-wide
strategy I think that there are efforts
uh and I'm not I would not call them
coordinated across the district I
certainly individual principles do a lot
of work in supporting their teachers and
recommending folks for promotions uh but
I think that this is an area of
opportunity across the district
how do we grow our own I think as you
know it's been the subject of a lot of
conversations Coastal work groups
Workforce Development and diversity so
certainly the students recognize that
career lattice opportunities for
recognized teachers could be a lot
stronger especially
educators of color for instance and act
leadership generally you know at least
certainly from everyone I've spoken to
is an area that needs a lot of
development in this state
okay slide 17 through 20 uh address
attrition slide 17 is when we say
separations what do we mean we're
talking about volunteering involuntary
and then as you move on to slide 18 uh
that breaks it down into a lot of detail
why was there a separation uh based on
how many numbers based on
it's aggregated by race
in most of these cases these are pretty
small sample sizes but it's part of the
uh story uh that's feeding our work into
where do we need to focus and where are
we
where do we need the additional effort
in supporting employees
yeah that's my recollection that
personal is not defined and if employees
don't want to indicate a reason
they just lump it into that of course
that's the only category that's gotten
any real meaty numbers and that stuff
that's correct
okay so slide 19 uh is
um specific to Educators excluding uh
temporary educators
with separations based on percentage
and then slide 20 is the rest of the
employers yeah are these members related
to
they should be
uh yes so
uh slide 18 uh it should be all
employee groups together right and then
slide 19 is specific to Educators
without tests
okay you're still going to be small
numbers so
yeah so
let's see
so the exercise right now in a lot of
cases is you're presenting data that
really hasn't been
lies deeply in terms of questions so
yeah I mean I I again I would say this
is a really broad
um uh brush of different kinds of
snapshots to give an understanding of
different possible points of view right
of how do we understand what the data
tell us what we know is we have a lot of
work to do
and to meet our original racial
education Equity policy in terms of how
that reflects Talent diversity yeah so
00h 20m 00s
back on slide 19 for example so just
kind of looking at a couple categories
Asian and Latino it looks like
the separations are
I think it's 75 percent of their
percentage in the total population I'm
sorry could you say that again well it
looks like so say we have like 8.4
percent of Latino teachers but there are
separation is 13.5 so it just looks like
even the ones that we have are retention
right of them right um
Asian right at what rate
foreign
[Applause]
20.
same point of view with the different
employee groups
license you'll note that
for Black and Latino School
administrators they're they're leaving
disproportionate rate and so huge this
is why having a robust ability to coach
and mentor and guide and from our
principal supervisors certainly giving
them the adequate attention and
support to keep those retention numbers
higher
is going to be important What's the
total number here
uh the total number for what a licensed
School administrator I'm sorry I I don't
have that up there I thought I did
I think I had a slide earlier
with that number
um
169 total licensed School administrators
but that doesn't say what this is right
yes
the license School administrators is a
very small number
what are our strategies around Exit
areas
uh we offer an exit interview uh and an
exit survey uh to all employees to
depart uh that's more successful when we
have noticed that they're departing
because it's sent to their email and we
have almost nobody who takes us up
really yeah on the um on the exit
interview portion
but they do the surveys some of them do
the surveys it's actually been quite
some time since we looked at the exit
interview uh information uh
um that's an issue of capacity and time
and
uh what we're really interested in
representing whatever
say what our candidates saying
okay moving on to substitute slice 21
through 23 this is our number of
substitutes broken down by type and then
how did those
what's the disaggregation by race on 22
for teachers and para Educators on
Spotify three
okay I'm going to enlist their questions
about substitutes I'm going to move on
to HR priorities for this year
any questions about that before I move
on
so um
the general questions before we move on
to the next piece but do we also have
our Workforce broken out built into the
purge steers
um
we must we must because we look at that
for a budget
eyeglasses yeah I I know that I have
seen that in years past
I I know it's there
right and we could get to it um be
really close to it based on tenure tiny
as well although not the same
and were there things in the
um
the state audit
that um you've that they called out I
mean whether it's substitutes or beliefs
that you embedded in this in this
dashboard
um
I'm trying to recall Julia uh there were
there was a focus in the audit at some
00h 25m 00s
point on teacher vacancies
which is
um
one of the things that we've looked at
is our substitute population
and why are what is our what's the
difficulty in filling those teacher jobs
and what is the rate that teachers are
absent as well as a para educator so
that was an issue that came up in the
audit that we are reviewing
so just generally
um I think this is a great Baseline yeah
um I mean just a continuously use it
seems like it would be worthwhile to to
you know if we give their
um
indicators that we should be tracking
some things that were in the state
um I'm going to check it anyway but to
add it into the dashboard so that we're
tracking that as part of the overall
sort of Workforce issues right right we
look at
um uh what our audit findings and
recommendations uh we look at what our
Equity policy says within what our board
priorities to feed our areas of focus
for sure so that's certainly one of them
first of all I think I think it's a
great dashboard really useful to be able
to get sort of a picture across things
which I'm just thinking of like where
there might be some gaps and
as we get into a pattern
Improvement of the data yes or just
looking at the data yes
and maybe
um you know you mentioned the principal
supervisors that maybe you know would be
good to have more conversation around
that outside of the HR process where
people aren't taking it upon themselves
to do exit interviews um how can we
learn from principles and other
administrators who are leaving what
factors are contributing to that because
we know in the last four years that
we've had a lot of concern about hostile
work environments for particular
employee groups
so I think there's often attention on
keeping class size ideal
but typically if you add a principal
supervisor to everybody immediately
claims senior leadership is getting big
but it's exactly the kind of capacity
that allows you to give new
administrators attention and support and
growth so you know you got to balance
that so if you keep it a skeleton crew
and then your principles are you know
are not getting the attention that or
the level of support that you know will
will add to their retention rates
particularly those of color
then uh you just have to understand
There's an opportunity cost there
is to expand on that
um
you know we we know that
principles where 75 different hats at
any given time they probably have 30 of
those off every single day
um the work is very very complex and
challenging work
how the system was set up previously
it compounded way too much on central
office staff or for operational issues
than really to be on the ground
providing that robust coaching support
the presidents the new model that we
have now and we can pull principles
what the principal said that the one
thing that we do feel that's a good
field is that we know that we can get a
response and support from the two
individuals that support us
and that they're accessible Around the
Clock you know we have two areas of
soups here today and they can tell you
that their phones are on 24 7. readily
there to provide support you know
foreign
um and so and that's one thing too as I
go around and I'm asking questions
there's a lot that we can fix in PPS
a lot and there's a lot we can do to
increase the conditions in our buildings
but the one thing that principles are in
agreement of is that we do feel at least
supported and heard and that the
visibility from central office primarily
from OSP has increased significance so
that also tells me that we're on the
right track with having a model that
does provide more robust supports
concentrated supports this week
I really appreciate that break and to
that I would add because the board
received a letter about it this last
week
um
it has always seemed to me that our most
successful principles
had good secretarial help
and someone wrote To Us asking if we
could guarantee that every school would
have at least two secretaries
so that
00h 30m 00s
to my mind again principles can offload
some of those 75 different hats
years ago there was
2000 2001 there was
a project in the central office to see
if we could rewrite it job description
for a principal
to upload some of this stuff and there's
been intense you know the business
managers at the high school to try to
push some of that
some of that non-academic
student-focused work
and again historically I can talk to
principals who said yeah about 20
percent calling facilities trying to get
somebody to come out fix the toilet more
than whatever that's just
well and that was not having a good work
system of you know
reporters came in which were priorities
prioritize because they were safety or
health issues which weren't
and to that point imagine the old model
where we had just nine senior directors
and those senior directors were in
charge of not only evaluations coaching
support operations Human Resources
budget the whole gamut so when issues
would pop up a senior director would
cancel their visit to a school and be
hung up on those issues that are coming
their way to help support the principal
now that we have a support of two
individuals in each cohort Keely and
Oscar they deal with all the operational
stuff
while it still allows their senior
directors to be in schools every single
day
um so we're not getting hung up which
you said on those operational issues
we're still providing continuity of
supports on the ground with schools
while we do have a team that's still
working on those operations
so on this point there's a different
level of economy of scale management
wise in our Comprehensive High Schools I
think in surveying our school leaders
the pain Point really is in the single
admin buildings Because by the time
they're done with lunch duty and
operation I mean you're by yourself and
one incident there goes off your day
right or trying to have some dedicated
time for coaching or professional
development
um so you know just preview of Coming
Attractions I know that one of the asks
that are being lobbied for is some
ability to give those those single admin
buildings a little bit more capacity
oh
17 right 17 hour
I'm sorry 17 white 1706 yeah okay
thank you okay so moving on to the next
slide
um HR operational excellence uh priority
so the reality is uh that we can
identify problems faster than we can
solve them so for 2018-19 we had to make
some really difficult choices about
where are we going to focus and what's
the what is the
um what's the biggest lift on how we
focus our energies or a lot of feedback
about the need for faster decision
making uh that HR is supposed to
responds and we have bureaucracy of
processes that don't serve our school
communities as well and so we um this is
where we spent our focus on 2018 and 19.
so we made some difficult decisions
about what are we not going to do and to
focus on uh things that were touched by
these factors right so building capacity
we had we've been struggling with
vacancies in central office for a long
time which slows down our service
certainly that is true in HR as well
uh I say it was true because I would say
that's past tense now as of January and
focusing on continuous process
improvements to deliver excellent
support to school so where are we going
to spend the time to look at what those
processes are that are so slow to
respond or require you know copious
paperwork or just time consuming for
school administrators if it was in
support of a school and made a school
run faster and got a principal off of a
off of paperwork and into
the school then it was it's worth our
time addressing critical backlogs within
Human Resources so those are weeks of
absence accommodations of disabilities
paid administrative leave and misconduct
investigation so some of the big things
that we're responsible for uh right
these absence and disability
00h 35m 00s
accommodations that's about taking care
of our people who are struggling uh with
a medical or other issues and then
misconduct investigations that goes to
our responsibilities around being
responsive to concerns that are raised
and addressing those in a timely fashion
and then anything that we are doing to
build to system solutions for 2019-2020
so we also have an eye to the Future
there and as always ensuring compliance
with laws and contractual commitments is
foundational to how we need to move
forward so I have a list which I'm not
going to read to you but these are
highlights of what we focused on in the
first and second quarters of the year so
that's July through December of 2018 and
then what we're what we imagined the
next well five months now six months
when I wrote this five months of the
school year I'll let you read that at
your leisure and come back and ask me
questions as you have them I do want to
highlight of the priorities or Talent
diversity
efforts and we do have a a strategy and
plan in place for this hiring season to
hopefully flood our applicants with uh
top talent top diverse talent for the
next school year so there's some more
information
there about focus on how how we chose
institutions and
who we are bringing them into influence
those decisions pay Equity overview so
this is a
compliance requirement to come into
compliance with the new pay Equity act
at the same time we are looking at what
our compensation values are so that
however we approach that it is in
alignment with our values and our Equity
policy so more to come on that there's a
very quick timeline here for your review
but the the bottom line is that we will
have done a pay Equity review and
compensation assessment by July 1st
telling Ed that the system's
implementation that we are going to do a
soft roll pilot roll out this year for
full implementation across all employee
groups uh next year so the Tool uh is an
a web-based resource for evaluations but
what this is going to allow us to do is
better track our evaluations we're going
to be moving to annual evaluations
for our non-represented employees and
this tool is going to allow us to better
leverage our data to track employee
performance
all right so another timeline on that
okay leaves of absence very quickly uh
slide 33 has a
identifies all the types of leaves that
we have and what their source is people
are familiar with the federal and state
leads we also have contract driven
leaves
so those are listed there and slide 34
has how many do we have
how many are paid and how many are
unpaid there's a lot of information we
could go into here about how we use
those funds
but not for today
what would you say that there is
attention to
um reforming or streamlining our
practices around those because we know
that there's been inconsistent practice
in terms of authorization for leaves in
the past
yes so this is an area of both
compliance and critical backlog so uh
how we are we're doing a couple things
to address this Amy including
looking into
uh a simple systems tools we have
somebody on board right now who is
helping us with Define what our
guidelines are and ensuring a
cross-functional customer cross training
so that we have more than one person
addressing
leaves and having consistency through a
beliefs committee where we have legal
representation in the room to help guide
our more difficult decisions
we're also yeah who's also an intention
to process those faster and more
accurately
less subjectivity yes
can you give some context
um for Workforce this large is 345
00h 40m 00s
leaves
yes yes so
um we have gotten feedback uh that 345
is a very large number of um groups so
one of the reasons why we needed to dig
into that is why why is that
are we carefully following what our
requirements are and applying those
appropriately
why are there so many of these that are
being requested what's different that
would drive up our League members and so
we're still in process
foreign I I don't have that much
marketing data right in front of me but
I can get it too yeah
yeah what's a district
so District driven uh leave
would be paid administrative relief
we we leave you yeah which I'm going to
go on to next
Pittsburgh
yes okay so paid administrative leave
this has gotten some attention because
this is the um it's both includes some
discretionary use uh by the district
um although I will uh point out that
when it comes to some of our paid
administrative leaves they are beyond
our
um it's beyond our discretion right so
if there's a pending allegation of child
or sex abuse uh then we have to place
somebody on paid administrative leave
pending the external investigation if
there's a criminal investigation
then same result and then we have the
district discretion so uh when we think
that it is in the best interest of the
district for some reason or another one
of the ways that comes up is sometimes
we need to put somebody on paid
administrative leave to allow for the
interactive process for somebody who has
a disability who doesn't have any sick
leave built up so possibly a new hire
who came on board and an issue comes up
and we have to figure that out but most
of them are petting investigations uh
um of misconduct so we place people on
paid administrative leave and can uh
consistent with our Pat contract and
that requires us to look at whether or
not we think there's reason to believe
that the present in the workplace would
interfere with the investigation whether
or not we think there's a risk of
repetition of misconduct whether there's
a threat to student or staff safety
and if the nature of the allegation
would likely lead to dismissal so those
are the factors that we weigh I
mentioned that this was an area that I
consider a critical backlog so we've
done some work on our capacity to
improve our capacity including
repurposing FTE to Labor Relations so we
have a fourth senior manager to handle
labor relations issues use we completed
and as well as a clerk to help with that
and negotiation work so that we
completed that hiring just a few weeks
ago so we are now fully staffed in labor
relations in our legal department we
have a labor and employment attorney
they could see for some time and we just
filled out with John stellwagon in
November and then the disciplinary
Review Committee is a cross-functional
team we're legal and HR look at
misconduct allegations along with
invited representatives for from OSP so
the supervisors typically of the
individual being the employee being
discussed I'm going to move on you lots
of questions yeah it's interesting
question
so District
our paid administrative leave and
District driven leads are those synonyms
yes okay
okay and so context was a normal number
for paid administrative leave yeah
so we don't have benchmarking data for
that but I do have uh some snapshots in
time on my next slide you're ready for
that so with this slide and we'll show
you the blue line is the number of
people uh on administrative leave at
these moments in time it's really
difficult to get your hands around this
information because it is
um it's very very fluid it changes every
week so what are meaningful points in
time I figured well right now so the um
the date on the far right February 2nd
and what is our current state and then
00h 45m 00s
the two prior dates are the report that
was closest to the start of school so
when Educators were back in the
classroom right and so you can see some
impacts from our changes in practice uh
the blue line is the number of employees
on paid administrative leave and we used
to take on August 30th of 2017 and
August 31st of 2018 we had seven and
eleven and currently we have 20. uh it's
quite could be because we're in the
middle of a school year yes September
might go way down by the time we get to
I expect that to go down I think it is
actually and so if you were to look at
this
um you know yeah I mean at any given
point in time it it very it can vary
quite a bit uh these are not
particularly large numbers but I do
think uh that we are more careful in how
we use paid administrative leads based
on the nature of the misconduct
allegation and
um I think we have been doing a lot of
work uh this year in training employees
and training administrators on reporting
um uh and opening up I guess those
reporting Airwaves so that
we know that we have an increase in
um
in these in the sorts of misconduct
allegations that lead to
because Victor never could be
a better job of course yeah
we are going to go back uh I mean we're
looking at these numbers and realizing
we also need to go back and make sure
that we're the use of paid
administrative belief we're not over
shooting
um so we are going to do that work but I
do think uh they are right director
Rayleigh but the reduction of duration
is significant so that is the number
that I frankly care most yeah about
uh so what we have there is average uh
months on paid administrative leave you
may be familiar with the tspc reports of
the pegs their average uh months of
Investigation between eight and nine uh
months so on August uh 30th of 2017 the
average number of number of months on
leave was nine and now we are at 2.6
um I have another piece of information I
want to add to this which was how long
were the longest uh folks on repeat
administer to believe so that's what
those numbers indicate so in 2017 we had
two people that had been on pavement
straight to believe for 22 months which
I think we all believe to be an
unacceptable number nice vacation
uh and then now we have right now our
longest sleeve is nine months uh and uh
beginning of the year the longest
uh seven months that is not that's not
uh solving for the work year right so
that's full calendar months it does not
exclude
a non-workier days I'm way over my time
I did want to say back to your question
about how does that compare Council
grade City Schools does have kpis on HR
stuff in on
administrative leave-ins
before yeah
it would be interesting to know yeah
[Applause]
well it's it's very easy to get
benchmarking data on the standards that
are uh across all employers like family
medical leave or
state leads whereas paid administrative
leave is uh you know very much driven by
the collective bargaining agreements
right so it's not necessarily closer to
Apples yeah
imbalance
in the work for Workforce yeah I mean
some kinds of leads are probably going
to be newer yes just
there are other employers who have that
and you can do that based on right
you're talking about uh baby bonding and
pregnancy but we have paternity coverage
we do absolutely we do
the use of paternity leave versus all
parental leave
all right great to see
this media and I'm sure I understand why
it's hard to
um is it because our people saw system
we don't have a way to like
tag somebody they're out and leave to be
able to run I mean just do
I mean most important situations I've
been in you have an ability to pretty
quickly just really sort of yes
the question is with the quality of that
data I had the highest confidence and
the quality of this data versus
um but yes I mean we can run more
numbers and then do some testing around
the uh the quality and accuracy of that
00h 50m 00s
information so again we can look at this
any number and I'm happy to do that
yeah
okay
sure yeah
so lots of good stuff here lots of a
couple of issues to dig into
I didn't see absence list particularly
teacher absences yes I can I have that
information and I can provide that to
you if you would like
and what we're doing about it
so I I can speak to you yes so when you
say Subs are a huge issue what do you
mean specifically I mean talking to
principles and a number of Title One
schools and they can't get a subject
so the counselor is teaching or the or
the AP right right it should have an SSI
if they're Title One
we have 12 we have uh 12 ssis deployed
and we can do as much so SSI stands for
site support yes support instructor uh
it's uh basically I mean you could put
like a permanent sub that's a floater in
the school that we budgeted for
specifically because we couldn't get
subs to come to Taiwan schools so
they're they're there all the time but
they're floating for room so I've done
two reports to the OSP team so far this
year about the um the use of substitutes
and vacancy breaks of unfilled
um positions uh for broken down by each
school so that we can do a detailed look
at where are we struggling uh and
so I'm happy to provide that information
okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna cut it off
because we're
we're now in an hour let me just ask one
question and then it can be you know
whenever you come back to us or in
whatever form fine but under continuous
Improvement or system Improvement we
don't really learn anything about
um how the experience has evolved as a
job Seeker meaning that most most job
Seekers report that our processes are
stuck way back in the 20th century
somewhere yeah so uh how is that both
culturally and even in terms of
Technology how has that improved
I mean
you it's up to you you can say send us
an email or you can quickly answer or
whatever but I think it's a highly
relevant question
uh I I mean I have an opinion on that uh
so
I can follow up
yeah just just educate it
okay thank you for turning this on thank
you
okay
um
going to move on to the superintendent
goals
and I just want to give
them so this is an attempt to cross walk
three different documents
one is the osba rubric
with the standards for evaluating
superintendents
and that's kind of the main organizing
device here
the second is
the going back to the
superintendent evaluation that we
complete in the fall and we had a number
of looking forward sections that called
out specific things that board members
wanted to see
some work on during this school year and
then the third is the work plan
that you have in front of you
so we have
goals that have been identified and then
um
measures of success and
um
both the goals and to measures largely
come out of the work plan
so they are the work plan is organized
in terms of three things
three main priority areas and those are
reflected in the goals
and then the the evidence of success
00h 55m 00s
um
mostly come out of the far right columns
outcomes it's being the the products
that will that are anticipated to be in
Hand by June 30th 2019.
so that's that's kind of the
rules of the road
there are two documents
um
one I sent out one Julie sent out they
are
substantially the same the principal
difference is
that Julie added a third column with a
timeline for
specific dates attached to
um to the individual goals well I had
also collapsed a few things and maybe
moved a couple things around like put
under categories that make more sense
but for the most part they're really
similar
so I do note that there's some
crosswalking them here visually but
there's more rows in one version than in
the other
it's the timeline no it's not just the
last column there's also oh added
there's also different rows yeah like I
said I so I just wanted to reconcile it
so it's clear and I also think that
there's some things that got dropped off
from the first iteration of this that I
had sent that I mean and probably other
people have some things as well I had to
kind of list like 25 things I want to do
right so as long as I'm clear what the
expectations are we have a version
control issue since I haven't seen the
version until Sunday night since we
whenever it was in November
um I went back and looked at
um the evaluation that we had in the
summer
and pulled out things that we
specifically called out as Focus areas
and I don't see them in here so I'd like
to add them there's a whole host of
areas around communication Community
engagement
um
middle schools but
I said we had some pretty specific items
and I'm happy to share what pages
and those are those are also some best
practice when you look at superintendent
evaluation processes that got dropped
off like great mechanisms for student
and family engagement
making
and yeah
so my question is so what constitutes
too many goals no so I did kind of try
to look online to get a sense of
what
like what's a common number of goals
that it seems like the fewer I mean it's
I think it's
a friend to say I think it's important
to focus on fewer than this whole big
broad because a lot of this is just
workings that you're going to do day to
day anyway
so I guess I'm just trying to figure out
how to clarify the priorities around big
areas for goals this is the osba
template that is the recommended
template had actually 11 areas and then
I think up to five five goals per area
no I don't know if you remember but yeah
at the end it had five so the
expectation is that you're you're doing
work in all the whatever 11 standards
and then you have five specific goals
and I think what you have here is not
necessary things that are going to
happen right in the 11 standards and
right and
I mean I don't
just since we're having this broad
raging conversation so I went back and
looked at some best practices because
you really if you have more than five
goals they're not goals
um and so you know one bucket
establishing strong governance and
Leadership and communicate District
division second bucket safe and
supportive learning environments and
promote instructional excellence and
improve student outcomes third bucket
strategically allocate and align
resources to support student outcomes
and continuous Improvement
um
and uh yeah just those three buckets and
then you can you can take the all of our
strategic goals from our shared work
plan into each of those areas and then
it's a kind of simplistic format so
um I mean I would I would solicit your
input on whether you feel that what we
have before us is sort of workable as
the guy who's trying to respond and
adhere to it or
sure look I'm always up for a challenge
I'll just remind the board I'm one
person so it's helpful to distinguish
what's an organizational strand of work
and goal and what from my personal
leadership you're looking for this year
now February that I demonstrate
01h 00m 00s
so
we initially had the conversation last
summer that when the
17 18
evaluation was completed we were going
to pull threads through a focus areas
and I say I
I don't see that in this and I think
that's really important because I mean
we had specifically identified that
things in
last year's evaluation that we wanted to
hold through and
the way to continue to have focus on
them is to pull them through okay so we
we crosswalked it yeah but on the
evaluation so what it what is okay so
let's
um
so for example just an easy one would be
you take the evaluation from the last
year and you go on page
three
eight and nine there's a whole host of
things around Communications and
Community engagement and I don't see
that here so for example there's some
pretty specific things around just
Communications with the board and we
have here like one-on-one
nothing like one-on-one meetings where
the focus of the evaluation uh was we
wore around sort of timely qualitative
materials aboard I mean we were we were
pretty specific in this area so I well I
think that I think that hits that
extremely qualitative
it's like your second one
getting updates at least twice a month
toward number
well that's not
at all like what we what was written in
the superintendent evaluation
last year
because I don't think a twice monthly
written report is
responding in a timely way to
um
for providing what we what we outlined
in the in the evaluation that we
expected to see different next year
okay
so all right
I'm happy to provide some language I've
drafted something up but I wasn't sure
foreign
maybe we should back up and ask if we
want to come to agreement on
this osba template with these one two
three four five six seven
goals
so that these are standards
right they're standards not goals right
exactly
and I took those standards and put them
into these goals so
the standards
Federal responsive
[Applause]
okay yeah I I think we're
I think this is way too much
we have five goals last year
my initial stab at a rewrite had six
goals they dropped middle schools
because middle schools are now part of
me
Pacific
you know that was a huge success okay
now now that's part of the workflow not
part of something called out
can you see I would maybe disagree with
that can I continue that thank you go
ahead
um
I think communication stays on so I
think
I didn't have four of them going forward
so I didn't see anything did you did you
share that
uh
but and I were never asked to provide
feedback I think
well I took the first crack at it and
it's three goals and now we don't have
any goals we just have standards and the
three goals are based on you'll you'll
they'll be familiar to you I'm sure
because they're based on best practices
of just buckets to arrange the work so
one around governance leadership and
communication went around safe and
supportive learning environments and
instructional Excellence one around
strategically allocating the line
resources
to support student outcomes
can you share that please
01h 05m 00s
um
we spent a great deal of time on this
work plan
this work plan is
it's very extensive it is very detailed
it is organized around three essential
priorities
and it outlines the the breadth of the
work that is ongoing in this District
this year this is work that is happening
now
um thank you
this document was based primarily
primarily on the work plan
and it accurately reflects the breadth
of the work that is going on in the
district
and
I mean I share the concern that if you
have too many goals you have no goals or
too many priorities you're not really
prioritizing but we've already done that
in this work plan
this is what's happening
and this and we Julie and I ran this
past the superintendent and Sharon Reese
and
um and they both agreed that it
accurately reflects the breadth of the
work that is going on in the district
it includes
work that the superintendent himself is
responsible for
um but it also includes work that he is
responsible for overseeing
district-wide work that he is
responsible for overseeing
um and
um and he has agreed that it is it
accurately reflects the expectations as
as documented on this work plan
well why didn't we just keep
instead of going back instead of not
having any goals on the superintendent's
goals why didn't we just keep the three
goals that are uh the way that the work
plan is organized and then
the framework
keep the framework for the goals under
that and attach metrics to it because
and obviously the osba template is a
reference
but but to me when I look at this like
this and I'm not trying to be
contentious when I look at this like
this it's not clear
how in a strategic framework it relates
to the work plan it's like pieces of the
work plan are everywhere instead of like
the buckets being arranged
the same way they're arranged in the
work plan
so to me we have two one we don't have a
consensus on how we're going to do this
either have a statement of a real
limited statement of goals
like get the work get get most of the
work plan done and in a timely basis
we're good yeah and
do some personal stuff take care of
yours take care of yourself and Advance
your professional development starting
your veggies
um you know two goals were done
and and I appreciate how how these
versions you know go into
you know translating the word plan we
either do that or we do a really we go
back to the sort of Bible
amongst this work plan which is really
pulling out a couple of pieces that were
planned and saying
these are the the four or five things
are really gonna out of all this stuff
these are the three or four or five
things that we're really going to be
focusing on
so
I think those are the ways to go but
let's agree on one of those
I don't care which one
let's get this done tonight
In fairness you may have been asked to
your opinion but we we got this which is
totally different from what we were
looking at in November and there was
there was nothing between or November or
October whenever it was between there
and that even though we were asked for
it so we got this at 8 40. I know
everybody's busy I have not seen this
until you saw it
so we got it at 8 40 on Sunday and it's
very different
from what we were looking at last fall
and it moves significantly off of the
osva
template so I think it's a good
discussion that I'm in agreement with
Amy that
use the template that we have I mean I'm
concerned that there's hardly any
student connected
like pull through pull through to
student connected outcomes
01h 10m 00s
um in this or that and and I do think
the goal the way that it worked last
time where you had some very specific
goals that have been designed and I
think some of those are ones that you
know we specifically had long
discussions about when we were doing
last year's evaluation
it would be Aries that you'd want
continue to focus on
well I want to make sure so I agree with
Simplicity Scott and that's also best
practices they were to put out the first
school board that's ever done a
superintendent's evaluation so there are
some pretty clear best practices
but I agree that basically what we want
you to do is this okay so it shouldn't
be that hard for us to figure out how to
express that because this is the meat of
the work that has been done
collaboratively it's not completely done
but it's been done collaboratively by
the senior leadership team and the board
so it's really just a question of how
are we going to distill this
um as specific metrics for your
performance so we don't want to get we
don't want to start adding things that
aren't included on the work plan
specific items although I want to pull
out all the things we agreed last year I
mean we had several conversations that
we couldn't do this year's goals until
we finished last year's evaluation
because we wanted to
have last year's evaluation inform this
next year and those things aren't
necessarily in the work plan so I think
it's
that's the one additive area
okay well I would want to see what it is
that you think is not reflected yes
because
the evaluation I can hand you I just
highlighted it all today
that's not stuff that's not reflected
anywhere in the joint work plan
nope because this is more about the
dated
Communications protocols and stuff yeah
well that should be under good
governance and
well it's not though but
so there's also
um some things about how we engage with
underrepresented communities and there's
also was also some culture issues
I mean I'm happy to share with mine yeah
I mean I just went through it today just
to map across and
I didn't have it across here but this
seems more
um
some of these things are housed and
these and this is the document of what
so one thing you could do is
um
to Amy's Point find a way to express
in the abbreviated osva tele template
the accomplishment of the work plan or I
think it's what they said last time like
80 80 is going to happen or something
something to that effect
and then pull out in the goals
some of these other some of these other
items which are more the house
so
and whatever you have down
which which goals was were they in last
year
of what the crosswalk
no things you think were left out
do you have the evaluation in front of
you all right
um
page three
second paragraph of foundational year
right but that's in the standards that's
not the ends with goals
right but I'm suggesting that they be
pulled out as
as goals because they're
I was trying to
draft behind the concept of somehow you
express the work plan is the things
you're delivering within the standards
some of these things are goals that are
communicated
like for example I'm just saying if it
was important to you why wasn't it why
didn't you but it suggest that it being
a work plan when we were working on it a
couple months ago and it seems a little
late to bring it into the process
I provided so much input into the which
I've got here into the work plan but the
work plan was not to be the
superintendents
goals it was to be the district's work
it's the what we're trying to accomplish
01h 15m 00s
and some of these things are the how
and we had a several conversations about
getting started on next year's goals and
one one of the reasons we didn't do that
in
July and August was we hadn't completed
last year's evaluation yet and it was
these are things we're going to pull
through
I mean I think
I would be hard-pressed to think that
there's anything that should be included
on the superintendent's goals that is
not in some way captured in the work
plan maybe it's not as granular as what
you're thinking of but at a high level
is reflected as an agreed upon priority
that we should be able to agree it's
just not
um
because this is sort of the district
work plan versus throttle base for that
type of superintendence
let's go
I don't see that as different
I don't either
can you give some specific specific
examples
okay
um
communication is a community engagement
continues to be areas needing
Improvement greater Communications
feedback loops that are internally and
externally
then timeliness and consistency and
quality of materials prepared by staff
the Board needs for good decision making
needs to improve I mean there's a whole
host of
issues here and when when I
remain most striking when I compared
this to the
just one box here
on it's communication it doesn't match
it at all
the goals that we set last year
so I'm I'm confused about what you're
saying because
saying on the one hand we should be
continuing those threads of the goals
from last year on the other hand you're
trying to write a bunch of new goals
based on what you said last year but
that wasn't part of the goals last year
so standard best practice in performance
is if you have something in one year's
evaluation that's called out as a focus
area that you pull it through
to the next year and that's just all
that I'm suggesting which is
why we waited until after October
to start the next year's goals
didn't even put it in goals last year
right because we all really he had there
were a number of other higher priorities
and that were identified
that were measured
Okay so
so we did spend a fair amount of time
crosswalking
the different different iterations of
things
I will say that
the wording the language the specific
language the words may not be in here
but I would argue that certainly the
spirit
of all of those things that were called
out in the evaluation
are addressed in here
I mean I I agree generally I would like
to I don't have the evaluation in front
of me but if there's anything
really glaring that you feel like is not
captured here I do think it's worth
having a discussion because you're
absolutely right that anything called
out in a performance evaluation should
there should be a way to directly
reference it in the next year's
evaluation criteria
and again some of it might be captured
at a much broader level but if there's
anything that you think is completely
missing I do think now's the times it
Bring It Forward
in my opinion
what document are we using
I mean
it's not clear or are we are we using
this as the as the template
it's a question
this is the document under
unless unless and until board members
01h 20m 00s
decided isn't so I couldn't I couldn't
tell if that was being suggested by
others okay is that being suggested uh I
would like I mean
uh these goals to me are not goals their
standards I would like to go back to the
goals from the original template for
this which are actually the same goals
from the shared work plan and then to
put the put things under that rubric to
me that's much easier to understand
because these aren't goals
and these and everything it is possible
to capture everything under the three
priority goals of the work plan
that's what makes sense to me this
well I'm sure how how for example the
first goal here yes that would be great
for example Amy
the first goal there except exercise
effective governance and Leadership to
develop with
um stakeholder input I mean that's
virtually the same that's here
so how is this not a goal then
you say these aren't goals but yet yeah
I'm really the same so that's I don't
know why they're not goals right that's
what I'm saying that's virtually
identical
well like the holidays in governance
legislative advocacy that's not a goal
exercise effective leadership
governance
but the goals are under I mean the
specific goal I mean the goals is
leadership and just you know okay we're
categorizing the goals under the osba
right that's all but the clear boxes are
the goals and the evidence of success
okay so the goal is develop with
Community with broad Community input a
clear educational vision for the future
of PPS and the student experience
and the evidence of success is visioning
process completed with substantial
representative Community participation
and so on and so on
so if you're saying that though these
are not goals
that I'm not getting
I guess it's just a question of what
makes the most intuitive sense to people
and whether we want seven goal areas and
things that are clearly related like in
different places or
you could use standard slash gold
so if if we if we are going to use this
is the template or either one of these I
like having the timeline on the
the end
um if we are going to use this I have
some I have some specific things to add
but well let us figure out whether we're
going to use this one I'll offer my
suggestions or okay so so I think what's
on the table right now is
um this this is one way to do it using
the osba rubric with goals under each of
the standards
and and evidence of success attached to
each goal
um
I I think the
the principal benefits of doing it this
way is that it is very clearly attached
to the work plan
and that these are actionable
um
fairly concrete
metrics to evaluate performance on these
specific goals
okay and it and I mean the other thing
is
um
in in the sense of this is this is a
document with multiple audiences
and
um and one of the benefits of having
something
this uh with this kind of breadth is
that it makes visible a lot of the work
that is otherwise invisible to the
General Public
um and
nobody in the real world is going to
look at this work plan and even if they
do they're not going to be able to make
sense out of it um
this is already a pretty big document
and most people are not going to get
through this either but some people are
and it's going to it's going to give a
picture of
all of the work that is ongoing in this
01h 25m 00s
District that is under the direction of
the superintendent
are these goals as written here verbatim
from the work plan
um no they may not be verbatim but
they're very close
and actually we were going to do a
crosswalk with a keying it to the work
plan and then ran out of time
um so so the other so the other thing
that is on the table
um
the the other possibility is to have you
know a very very short list of
I don't know three three goals
um with with a few metrics under those
three goals
um
what's going to happen is that those
three goals are going to be pretty big
and the metrics they're going to be
actionable and
um and like quantifiable they're going
to be
you know clear enough
um
those metrics are going to
I'm going to make visible
a very very small number of all of the
work that is going on we're going to get
to the same place yeah
just inform our goals last year each had
five or ten
metrics underneath them which right
essentially is what we have here and
also even if you do have just the three
goals which are the buckets that the
work plan is divided into it doesn't
necessarily have to be a small number
because it's whatever
you know is striking that healthy
balance between
um
not having so many that they're no
longer priorities but having enough that
nothing really that we collectively
believe is critically important gets
left out
so if you organize it in the smaller
groups of work doesn't mean that you
have to have fewer metrics
I mean we could organize it in those
three goals but basically
move these under there I mean I don't
care how you want to organize it that's
how it is
you know I mean that's what I'm saying
it doesn't really matter if we organize
it that way there's still certain
buckets of Works
in this we've we've used this the rubric
of
probably use the three buckets of
February
that refers to the osba area but it's
the same basically it will all work out
the same in the end yeah
foreign
we all taxonomies everybody processes
things differently I'm just saying for
me when I look at this it is not clear
to me how this relates to this even
though I know that the content is
largely cold from here even just well
okay strategically visually it's it's it
these don't look like they talk to each
other it was going to have a week never
got around to doing that we both travel
the key to where this was on the work
plan because because there is a Wonder
one I mean it corresponds yeah yes so
that would be easy enough to do I mean
the other thing is if if ultimately this
is intended to inform the
superintendent's evaluation down the
road
um one of the
one of the problems that we ran into
last year was that
we did not stick to the osba rubric
um
and
um and I think we had good reasons not
to at the time but
um if we if we use the osba rubric is
the organizing device it will help us
make
you know a logical leap to the full
evaluation come June
but when push comes to shove I mean
so if we want to do it in terms of broad
goals and reorganize it around those
that's fine and we want to keep it this
way that's fine
we just need to do this tonight yeah
frankly at this point in the year
it seems like not a good idea to try and
like redo everything
um so one thing may be to say
like agree on that this work plan if you
01h 30m 00s
divide it up in pieces it fits in the 11
standards right
except well except for maybe the one on
sort of personal growth and there's
nothing on the board superintendent
relationships
but there is under effective
communication yeah effective leadership
but I'm saying in the work plan
so you could say we're going to use
this time
this template but we're going to really
use it and if to say the pieces from
here
been under here okay
and then you're going to have an
addition in the
I guess in the in the goals you have
sort of the professional development and
then maybe some of the how things that
aren't that you wouldn't put into
because it's communication protocols or
whatever right
so
that can then get you because I mean the
reality is is like the year's already
you know seven months into it so if this
is the guiding document say this fits
under the 11 standards
in the goal section it's going to be
those things that aren't in here
and the things we're pulling through if
they're if they're not things that
aren't already in here
that goal section at the end
is not going to be that much
does that make sense okay so you're
talking about
you're talking about creating
separate set of what your common goals
so right because there's things that
for Guadalupe that aren't
in the district work plan because it's
not something we're going to be like
posting up
let's just say leadership on a national
level
um We're not gonna be putting in here
that he's going to be attending and
serving on the council at Great City
School leadership team for example
so that's in here
that's in here okay okay but you're
saying so
so let me just so there are pieces of
this document that I think that that are
not reflected in this that have to do
professionally that have to do with
things like what you're calling out like
the pro there should be professional
development put them in the goals and
then the same thing is and I would just
say the same thing is
any of the house that we want to pull
through not the what's because I think
the what's did get put the what's got
pulled through
yeah like what being the continued
middle school work for example
so it's
well so you're just trying to say
whatever it's called out here that's
already there we don't need the
redundancy so only keep here what hasn't
been called in the work plan that's
something different like communication
or professional development for him
right and that doesn't mean that we have
you know 15 pages of goals it's like
this is the work plan
I mean
the standards
okay so let me
So when you say the house
I'm still not sure I know what you need
I mean
what Amy just said was we can't really
dictate the how for most
things that are going on in the district
I'm saying the very specific things on
like page
eight and nine
it's how things get communicated
but that but that can be metrics around
effective leadership
um communication and governance
that can be a metric
but what I'm saying is I'm trying to get
away from recreating or inserting pieces
of the work plan into the 11th
standards
this is the this is the what that is
expected to be accomplished
most of it is going to fall under the
11. so we don't we don't know we don't
actually need to we don't need to pull
out these individual things so that's
what I was trying to say right
because while Lupe's already said he's
gonna right like this this is the this
is the template of his work yeah and so
we don't necessarily we don't actually
need to call out a vision like the
vision piece because it's in here so if
we're saying
because this is an enormous body of work
we need to evaluate him on what he's
actually doing
so just just to remind us sort of where
this emerged from it started a year ago
01h 35m 00s
through the summer as new chiefs were
taking over departments and we asked
them to Define what are the core
functions that we need to set a
foundation for and so they started
crafting interim work plans because the
school year was starting right and we
brought that in Retreat to the board
here's our sort of First Step at 1920
work that you can expect our time and
effort to be engaged in and so we went
back and forth at a couple Retreats with
the board and starting from a blank
screen I tried to capture it in a
template to get us going and the board
has now and then we had a good
conversation around you know where where
admin should kind of be going
progressing across the school year
quarter to quarter and we had a good
conversation around and the board's role
in supporting that work and that's how
we've ended up at this pretty complete
work plan which I've not seen most
districts produce so I think uh you know
it's an immense body of work but it's
also reflective of everything we're
trying to accomplish it's ambitious and
it's keeping everybody busy I guess what
and then the the guidance sort of and
expectations I'm seeking Clarity on that
I think any superintendent would is one
of my specific leadership expectations
and deliverables that you have for me
that you believe I should be spending my
80 hour time and effort work week on to
help make sure we accomplish these
things but also identify any areas where
you expect my personal time and effort
be spent and so
yeah we sorted the power some of the
power standards from the osba
superintendent evaluation and we laid
underneath them sort of goal areas that
are specific to where PPS is
developmentally and then added specific
action steps on behalf of leadership 35
of them if you count them
um where you expect some demonstration
of leadership and that's what I think
has been attempted to be captured here
this is a good discussion to sort of say
is there something missing right I think
Julia I want to when you see a little
bit more on communication I'd love to
hear a little bit more about that
because I rarely have an evening free or
I'm not communicating or visible out in
the community or or with stakeholders or
in schools so it would be good to
clarify what we mean by that
um
both personally or organizationally that
isn't captured in the work plan so
um
I'll just say that so for me this this
is sort of the most the the more
distilled that we can get uh the better
and that's what I so this is the attempt
of these two what what the difference is
I think this was a little shorter I
can't find you to distill it down yeah
that was the only if if four pages of
leadership action is 35 so better than
five not enough then and you want to add
10 more then I serve at the pleasure oh
no like I said this is with this was a
consolidation of the
other one
um
I mean I'm still concerned at the number
so I'm not quite sure where to go with
this
I I don't know if the board has
benchmarked these against the
superintendent evaluations in the region
but this is pretty robust by comparison
well that's what I'm saying
so I
yes I agree
and I think for the most part there's a
few
gc5 I've seen this fuse three
but then I do think that we were trying
to give for the work that's been done
give you some credit to be able to
measure you on some things that's in
that work plan that we've asked you to
do and that we can
say it's been you know in this
set of months since October you have
done a lot of work and we wanted that
refunded too well um thank you it's not
about sort of getting credit for work
accomplished it's the work that we
envisioned we need we understood but it
needed to get accomplished Right Moving
us forward if we wanted to have that
visible
so if there's if there's anything under
these sort of power standards that were
picked out in leadership or governance
or Communications or organizational
management
or curriculum instruction that have that
there's something missing in there that
you expect to see from me it would be
good to know that
if it hasn't already been demonstrated
so I can pay attention to it between
March and June
okay here here's so
let's use this as our
template
and it's fine with me if we add on the
timelines as if they're but I I don't
01h 40m 00s
after quickly going through these two I
don't see any difference okay uh with
the Inception of
this one is professional learning
um
there's a few slightly rewarded
yeah one says expand CTE the other says
develop a plan first
I thought I had moved the professional
learning well they may be in different
parts it's the same words so you're
suggesting the vertically aligned
and fine with me if we have timeline
well if you notice every rose timeline
says June 19 except for like two
categories
well I mean that was
going out we could change those in any
way so so that was so if we let's say
let's how about if we adopt this and now
ask is there anything missing
go through and if we have
consensus or a clear majority for act
ing something or if there's anything you
don't think should be in here
we can go there well there was still the
conversation do you want to crosswalk
with the work plan I mean that's what
you were saying that it doesn't make
sense because you don't know how so this
is an iterative work plan we're going to
keep talking about it we're going to
keep bringing it up certainly in the
cabinet level senior leadership
continually refers to it
um you know it's
you know you will see sort of what role
do I play in this work plan getting
accomplished I think we've tried to
capture in there no we did well I was
trying to say is I know that that was
one thing that we had intended on doing
to make it a little more connected and
if this is just a piece that we didn't
do yet if that would be I mean I think
it's worth considering arranging our
goals under the three buckets from the
work plan which also coincidentally are
not aligned with standards that you
commonly see on a superintendent
evaluation form which typically only has
three or four goal areas so around
governance leadership and communication
around instructional excellence and safe
and supportive learning environments and
then around
resource allocations so those are here
in the osba so yeah right they're just
right but I mean I think is
but is there some other document or are
we using taking Scott's recommendation
so well really
to do that you're just adding another
stripe of color here
that's all you're doing I mean if you
look at at where this starts
the first white box has developed the
vision that's one a I know
we can reference
it would be good to have a superintense
evaluation that's based on leadership
standards and not our organizational
work plan categories
what we did
so you prefer this yes you prefer this
yes
yes
so I just want to make sure that you
know we cite and reference 1A you know
the first row is about Vision
development second row is about so that
folks can can see the appearance
alignment
but it's it it's it's not I mean it it
is not a one-to-one no it's not it's not
a one-to-one correspondence because
they're I mean there are lines in
things should not be a laundry list of
everything this doesn't reflect what I
personally am doing right that's what
everybody in this room is doing right
so some of some of these things are
summative goals
based on you know multiple multiple
strands of work
that
I mean you are not personally doing
every strand of work that you are
responsible for overseeing Middle
options so right which is which is what
I'm asking for guidance on Scott is
proposed we go with this one I think
Julie asked the same question
probably to you know finish the exercise
is there something missing right like is
the remaining question so when if once
we make that decision I'll jump in yes
wait let's
well we haven't heard from Paul we have
for some fine going with this
I have a question that our
responsibility is to do a summative
evaluation so do you think that these
01h 45m 00s
standards as expressed on here are clear
enough for us with Fidelity to be able
to do
a I mean really as a board we're
supposed to do a formative mid-year
assessment in a summative end of year
assessment do you think that this is
clear so I would hope that if you're
going to assess my leadership that you
go back to the descriptors for each of
these power standards
and whether those have been demonstrated
there is already a rubric via osba's
recommended soup evaluation and
Benchmark against those these are merely
leadership actions that are evidence of
demonstrating that standard right it's
the same thing we say to students and
teachers here's the standard here are
objectives and evidence of that being
mastered show me the work
I'd be very good with that
okay okay
Julia
oh okay
um
so
I'm just going to run through them so I
agree with it with Julie that we need
some sort of Preamble at the top it's
just
I think what else go to Lucas that was
my suggestion
um
I have one
um
I also agree with um
so a couple things that this osba
suggests that we use like smart you know
simple measurable and time-based goals
and so I think we need a little bit of
tightening up on that of just how
they're written
um
but to just you want me just go through
line by line okay
um top left
um on the vision the first box developed
with broad Community input I'd say
co-develop with the board
um
I would suggest we link back so that we
know which standards we're using so the
first one leadership and District
culture it's actually one five and six
so to reference the standards that were
I suggest we include the description
under each of those okay so that first
gray box is standards one five and six
um the next box down that starts with in
collaboration I would say in
collaboration with the board and
stakeholders
um moving to the right
the box that complete the blueprint I
would just add a four that something
like student-based metrics and other
milestones and deliverables so that you
wanted your strategic plan to have
metrics
um wait let me say that again and number
four out of four this says something
like student-based metrics and other
Milestones so we should we should
clarify what a traditional strategic
plan has because that's typically a
balanced scorecard that is sort of the
appendix to a strategic plan that's fine
it's just not there's no measurement
um you want just not the set of
strategies you want to know what the
of course yes but the balance scorecard
usually comes after you actually have a
strategic plan so is that the link would
you want to put my assumption is that's
balance board part
well um you can say what you when you're
developing this plan what it is that you
plan to measure
um
okay so and just to be clear the
Strategic plan will not be finished by
June 30th this is just a blueprint for
so just okay so
um okay but I think unless we start
establishing baselines on metrics we're
never going to get there you want to see
a component of the plan to include that
transaction okay
um
the next box down
I have some specific language that seems
like it's disappeared
um
that
um I think we should pull back from the
the evaluation last year because we were
pretty clear but it could be something
like
initiate Communications to and respond
to board inquiries in a timeline
qualitative way especially related to
issues in order we ask to take action on
um another
could be provide the board with timely
actionable information so that can make
informed decisions in order to fill its
fiduciary responsibilities
I actually have that written down if you
want me to send it to it and then yeah
um
the next
the next standard
um the policy and governance and
legislative that's standards two and
four
um and I didn't have anything there
um
so in terms of the timely response to
01h 50m 00s
board or Professor information I would
say
qualified that
are those information requests going
straight to the superintendent
for our protocol where's that at least
cc'd
with the superintendent
they're beyond something that's you know
more than
so this is specific to the
superintendent this isn't
but there's
it all goes in together because if
there's
too much
and again some of that coming from
Beyond
the board
swim Lanes so to speak we're going to
pile staff that footstep because the
superintendent has to refer those
request to staff
and staff can do their job
so that's why that's why I added the
language that the board will be asked to
take action on
okay so if we
get our board packets or we get a memo
saying we're going to need the board to
do X or vote on something or approve
something
so I tried to link it to
something pretty specific just like hey
I'm curious about like what we're doing
in fifth grade science so I'm fine with
the personal timely response you can
even quantify it within 48 hours I'll
let you know if if
the information requests and you won't
get it in 48 hours my only issue with
the
the information required for the board
to take action on is the unintended
consequence in that as long as the board
agendizes it that's managing indirectly
staff time and effort and and so you've
put it on the agenda so you're going to
ask that you're entitled to see
information but it's out of sequence
from whatever the staff is working on so
it will be very critically important
then to have a long-term agenda setting
so it's it matches up with what we said
we would do quarter to quarter so we're
doing this and we're taking
requests along the way simply because
board members put things on an agenda
hold that thought for next
end
because that's a very fair fair point
I'll send you the um are you still on
community I have I mean are we just
going through these things I think what
so
I've gone through the first I've got the
first two so if other people can add
theirs
I'm not on the third one yet I'm only
human keep adding well no it's not
adding but like here I would need these
under Communications and community
relations those are pretty vague
um I have a couple create mechanisms for
student and family engagement and
District decision making so let's can I
suggest in terms of facilitation any so
we've got the first
Ray bar
you've made some
uh
yeah I'm fine with adding
your suggestions anyone else for that
section we should test to say is that
are we good with that
end of leadership and District yeah if
so then we're good and that's
anything else in that section
under leadership I don't know if it's
too self-serving but you know I we
probably should say lead administrative
team and adherence to Shared work plan
because that's that's your piece of
this Beast so call it out explicitly
get the watch out there just get the
funky job done
which road were you calling that out on
Amy and we'll just under the first
leadership and District culture exercise
effective leadership one more thing
which is just lead administrative team
and adherence to shared
plan
yeah I mean it's
because the shared work
yeah but this is this is his role
okay so where was that where Amy
under the first section
um quarterly report to the board on
progress toward goals
have anyway I mean every one of your
senior leadership team is coming to us
on a regular basis with their pieces
we've done it on visioning we do it on
you know
we do it
super sweet is there a more efficient
way to do this it almost feels like we
01h 55m 00s
should put this out up on the projector
and just type so that at the end of the
night we have the language that
everybody wanted except it'll probably
take us longer to set it up than just
and then halfway through it'll show you
yeah
this actually should be out we are alone
we try to be 21st century
I really think we're actually moving now
that we figured out what we're doing
so let's just do it but taking the notes
in them
right right okay we'll have some of it
right I could just send it to Rita and
Roseanne language I have a lot too okay
so anything under legislative advocacy
legislative
I think those are good ones well so my
only question was Ben I think I had to
put some kind of a measure and implement
the recommendations yes like do we want
to delineate but they're all the
recommendations or I mean it's just my
special at thinking or 90 of the
recommendations is the the assumption
that all the recommendations you know
what are you talking about the
Whitehurst report thing so some of them
I can't oh personally because they're
related to labor contracts
um
okay
and then Julie had
a considerably changed the evidence for
Success language under the second point
totally different sentences
proactively advocate for legislative
priorities identified by the board
the two different sets are totally
different I think I was just trying to
come up with again what were what was
going to be evident a plan or
lets it communicate communicate a plan
complete a communication plan
here wait a minute what are we talking
about
just a little different
um
I guess they're saying the same things I
don't really care
yeah it doesn't matter
Communications
well I think we want the communication
plan yeah it's fine leave it puts on
okay
um
okay we're good with that section
it's so long
okay Communications and community
relations
I said establish effective communication
systems within district and with broader
community
and so we said what we said in the
evaluation was in the companies they
turned into something
overall communication strategy in the
development of regular Communications
feedback loops both internally and
externally particularly with
historically underserved communities I
mean that's what we wrote yeah
and that's pretty much just saying it's
here evidence of broad District
communication reaching all stakeholders
bi-weekly internal reports out to the
board substantive reports to the
community at board meetings
create meaningful opportunities for
stakeholder engage
what did you have yeah well this this is
what we had as a board okay there's a
need for an overall communication
strategy in the development of regular
communication slash feedback loops both
internally and externally particularly
with historically underserved
communities
I can take a picture of it and send it
to Roseanne I think we can I think
that's captured under the goal establish
effective communication systems within
district and with broader community and
then maybe some of what you just said
there are a couple of specific metrics
under that
I would add a new goal under there
create mechanisms for student and family
engagement in District decision making
is that I'm a workflow yes launch a new
office of student support
all these metrics are from the work plan
meet regularly with District student
council
create new channels of communication
with targeted stakeholder groups what
document are you looking at I'm looking
at the document that I provided as the
02h 00m 00s
underlying basis for this which which we
used
but we're trying to consolidate too
against to go into physical cases
Freedom Roseanne I just sent you the
language and the evaluation that's
helpful where does universities
I guess
um yeah
so you have a whole section on the work
plan under uh this comes under building
Community Trust and student voice and
Leadership
but we're sticking it under
Communications and community relations
so I have a question there's a lot of
language being thrown out I don't know
do we need to have staff stay for all of
this
now
so we were to discuss the work plan
which is why the staff is here
this is okay
appreciate it
okay okay
um
okay the only change in the work plan
has been the addition of a few elements
on the on the board lines right
and I I'll just pass something around
I've been very minor other suggestions
to yours Scott they're just for
considerations their team you know I did
not have substantive
we're
um
okay we got to put staff out of their
misery
what about us
no determined
just just please shoot them or measles
so Scots are the are the black and then
I put mine in bread
okay so the black we're already in
right and uh yeah
okay so it's provide oversight roll not
Rose
to ensure internal consistency
okay so work with staff to ensure
alignments of
strategic Plano division priorities
so Julia added design metrics set of
regular Kings for updates and
Performance Management
specifically as it pertains to the
Strategic plan right
I mean best practices you're checking
quarterly on
well that I mean that should be true of
all of our goals all of our strategic
priorities
well
well once we have a strategic plan we
should that should be the guiding
document versus having the whole host of
Random
okay
um
so this is this is by June
we're not going to have that are we
going to are we gonna be in a position
to design metrics we just we just talked
about this yeah it's that
if you have a framework for strategy
plan you're going to have a general idea
of what your metrics are going to be
your balance scorecard you're not going
to have information necessarily to plug
into it but you're going to be as as
each Chief comes aboard they're going to
start identifying Department level
performance targets which will begin to
emerge District level kpi so okay but is
the board doing that work
we should be setting
the metrics is a
no it shouldn't be co-design our metrics
should be are they actually meeting
their metrics
we're not designing
um
well they don't exist right now so uh
they're emerging
if we want to they're not as 360 degree
02h 05m 00s
as we I think all wanted them to become
so they would they would be sort of an
initial set of organizational metrics
every organization
yeah so every board that I'm on that has
a strategic plan the board is involved
in I mean it's your setting what what's
important
foreign
okay can I can I just go back to before
we settle this
um whoever designed metrics
is that going to happen by June
really
what we have here is our audacious
already so we we will certainly take
another look through it to see if
there's some tangible performance
indicators that we can call out because
they're in place
but we we're we're going to be
rebuilding system performance right
um
so
um I mean I I do not want this to be
this this work plan cannot be delusional
in any way
so if this is not doable by June 30th
you need to tell us right now well it's
uh
I don't think we want to over emphasize
the accountability when we're still
building capacity right so when the
conditions are in place then you
communicate what the indicators are so
otherwise you're just a clb all over
again okay so I don't think we're going
to be ready by June 30th for anybody to
design Memphis because we're not willing
to know what info
graduation rates I mean third grade
reading there's a whole host of things I
mean there's there's some high level
ones that are produced no matter what
they're the same ones the ode holds us
accountable to that's what I'm saying
there's that initial set I hope that we
actually look at indicators that go
beyond an end point but that actually
measure growth that measures sort of
things that are valuable to us like so
let's talk about how many Arts programs
get launched
let's name them whatever identify maybe
it's a better word identify okay so but
let's take a step back because we're
talking about our goal for this
by June 30th is to have the framework of
a strategic plan not just contagious
right correct so I think right thank you
having the metrics
for a strategic plan by June 30th it's
really it won't increase
I'm just saying that we have some we
have some basic things that
every year whether we say we're
measuring them on what measuring or not
and it just this is in the context of
strategic plans
we have under Essa ode district and
school level report carding and
accountability going on so there's at
least those but we want to go a little
bit beyond that obviously
and you could just drop in the ones we
already have and you can build
well
we can have that discussion later right
I just I'm good with refined broad
parameters at this point
formed by Vision process
Okay so
Rita how about how about
I would say how about we take out design
metrics
how about we say set a regular Cadence
for updates and performance
updates on existing
performance measures
because that's I mean
this is about the Strategic plan this
isn't about reporting we're going to get
reports on the graduation right we just
got one right okay but but this is in
the context of the Strategic plan where
we come up with a plan that has
objectives and that will have metrics of
some support we can when we're ready for
that discussion we can argue how much of
that is or
or not so by that we're not going to do
that
by June sorry
to say we're
I'm two years into my board service and
02h 10m 00s
I think we should have some identifiable
like at the end of the year what what is
it that we're the what is this this all
moving towards at the highest possible
level I mean build a functioning school
system where the conditions are in place
at schools to produce better outcomes
for kids but we don't have those
mechanisms at eye level in place
we can we can spend time doing that but
it's not the work that needs to be done
right now the word that work that needs
to be done right now is that development
of the Strategic plan
to get to that point which is not going
to be by June 30th and then we will do
exactly what you're talking about in
some fashion or another but we're not
there yet by June 30th and so we
shouldn't
you know there's a whole lot of stuff we
don't we're not going to have by June
30th
and that we should have there'll be some
higher level milestones
similar to everything I've seen
historically in PPS
at a minimum attendance as much as
graduates proficiency rates Etc but we
we want to be a lot more well-rounded
and thoughtful than just that so
um
I think that's easy enough okay so so if
we go to the bottom of this page
3G system performance and continuous
improvements
you added agree on a milestone dashboard
aligned with the developing strategic
plan and the state audit recommendation
so you can based on this discussion you
could take it I mean it sounds like
people don't want to set Milestones but
we are gonna we are gonna need to I mean
the audit State audit the expectation is
in the next six six months
that reproduce
an audit plan and that we actually are
actively implementing I mean
we already are actively implementing
most of the what's called um We're going
to need to provide evidence
for the board pieces of it and the audit
committee has started
but
we we're going to follow through on
those recommendations just like the
White Horse ones but I'm frankly not
Guided by anything in that audit because
it doesn't tell me anything about
District Improvement nor was anybody on
that team qualified to offer that kind
of advice Fair Point
well
um
so we're going to do our delivery we
agreed to all the findings and that
we've implement it we're going to do
them so this is just the expression of
the board's gonna do them I mean unless
in sports saying they don't want to do
them but we
I just I don't want to over emphasize
those as any kind of
performance milestones for us
on the operating side we did have some
perform ance Milestones that we need to
meet maybe not on the
yes there are a couple items
so okay that phrase just needs to be
reworded and simplified
which is fine
it can be Wordsmith
so let me go back to this let's take
that out under the Strategic plan
development
that's what people want then take it
um so staying on that strategic plan
developments in quarter five the
implementation of strategic plans
ongoing monitoring we're not going to
have a strategic plan right
um to give people a bit of a sense we're
kind of simultaneously developing a
budget
that identifies priorities across
department so which is a bit backwards
because normally your resource plan
backfills your strategic plan so that
will help form an outline of a strategic
plan so with our budget proposal should
be sort of the skeleton of the Strategic
plan it is our sort of our task to for
senior leadership to tackle at at the
pulp program at Harvard this July which
is a task I've done before with another
just new team so that we come back with
more meat on a draft to be working back
and forth with the Border we're actually
doing
going from the Grassroots up and then
coming down the visioning coming down
and then the day-to-day work coming up
and exactly that middle pieces you got
it
that's it okay
so I'm just
are we going to be in a position to
implement a strategic plan in July
September
02h 15m 00s
aren't you still going to be we're going
to be refreshing it and hopefully have
well I I want to be ambitious I would
love to open our Leadership Institute in
August with
the plan but that's
I only put that there because I noticed
the topic they had calendar for
strategic plan evaluation which seemed
to imply that it was done so think about
refine I mean it's the next phase
okay but again this is the board line is
this board work
implementation
so I'm I'm
gonna
propose that we leave the red out on
that goal
um
second goal Year Edition is fine
and
okay well
miles Milestone dashboard are we is that
part of our work for this quarter
or is that kind of I don't know what's
the right timing for that
for that we
what I hope we do is we do an end of
school year report out that
is an initial scorecard
right from whatever metrics we can't
collect at that point
that keys and that keeps getting refined
but when you want to have that
discussion well as soon as we have all
the data collected at the end of the
year from students
assessments so your suggestion that's
not
that's quarters
kind of an end of the year round though
okay
I like your additions to TV
thank you
so at what point so this is a
first part of this is agree on a
milestone dashboard
let's agree on a milestone dashboard
when you have that discussion or for
what's in that dashboard as opposed to
it is I think
well there's one we can put in a
dashboard and what we can agree we want
to build hope for the future but
um
I don't see how a school system we can't
be report we're not going to be
reporting out at the end of school year
on something so I I mean it happens
right
right right but which quarter is that
going to be and that's going to be as
soon as we have all the end of the year
student data
to synthesize
which is going to be July August
September well we won't have summative
results you know right away but we we
will have most everything else in in the
month of June early July to report on
okay so we're talking
45. so we can just move it to the right
I don't know I don't know okay so okay
so it's already in fortified it's
important five we're going to take it
out of quarter three and four right so
what I noted is that we kept everything
for to be
social justice yeah and we are keeping
the dashboard for the fifth quarter
okay okay
so
and then Scott's word I think with yeah
we can't are we good with the with the
ones in Black
uh there's two there with questions
ah
delicious
administrated administrative
participation in local and State
collaboratives
administrative response to State
students suggesting
um okay so this is in the board
what do you guys look at it
[Music]
um
yeah it's in here with that question
is it captured in here because I'm not
sure what they're referring to correct
02h 20m 00s
so so is this the monitor plan colon is
these two things what we're monitoring
bulletins
down here
so we're on 3G right so
I'm seeing activity over the first two
three quarters which we have been
involved in
higher Ed's alternative pathways
so in the
second quarter
what you have down is administrators
will actively participate in local and
state level collaborations to informed
District work and focus area CG feature
pathways
Etc
but I'm merely narrative there is
yes hey can tell us what's going on yeah
there's a lot in there uh Dr Curtis
3G admin Quarter Two
um
we we have remained engaged in a number
of collaboratives as well as higher ed
councils this Friday is another example
of that as we talk about teacher
Pathways alternative candidate pools as
mentioned earlier some of the
conversations we've had our leadership
development contracted Services we're
talking about what an objective process
for that looks like you've heard a
recent presentation on our emerging
balanced assessment system we do have a
calendar this year the surveys are
launching in the couple coming weeks so
yeah looking at it now looks like we've
made progress on every one of them so
yours is just a monitor of them yeah
okay
I just had to say it out loud too
okay to look sure we're not off track
remember what the what was that
one
okay so I think we're good
we're done with the work plan
changes
so it's a work plan so we should as a
leadership team all of us here
each quarter just kind of see if we're
on track and just have a discussion
about it hopefully during the three each
of the three mods you're hearing
evidence of the work in
agendized for for discussion so
can I ask that um
if things are removed the dashes stay on
but just be have a strike through and
then if things are moved from one
quarter to the next that would be
indicated like move from Q2 so if it
gets moved to Q3 that it says yeah well
I would hope I'm not moving anything I
would hope that we're having that
discussion altogether to say yeah yeah
that one's yeah why not move over and
let's note it yeah
in some ways this is this is a dashboard
and
be it's not it's not I think it's a
little I've looked at a lot of District
work plans I haven't seen on this
specific yeah comprehensive
perform what we talked about earlier is
what's our timing
here okay
pockets
should be aligned with that since we're
all this is
us even though even though we don't have
the metrics we want in terms of student
achievement metrics the metrics we've
got are all embedded in here and should
drive every single agenda
well it should make pretty transparent
what we've been up to and what where our
time and effort is going
um during the course of the school year
so it's
it's a pretty comprehensive story of all
the work strands being led by people in
this room
02h 25m 00s
maybe next year's iteration but
if I were a parent in the K-8 I'd want
to be like so where does it show up here
that something's going to happen to my
students and so I think really so next
year trying to drill down so people can
see how this huge body of work
actually translates to
impacts for students because I think
it's it just the design of it makes it
hard to do that so I'm I'm actually uh
well last night that the PGA meeting got
canceled I was going to try to sort of
pilot it
very quick PTA presentation of taking a
number of these points
trying to do that
but I think that's
when we talk about communication
strategies I mean
right thank you staff if you guys are
here or not are doing a hell of a lot of
work so as we get our Rhythm we need to
we need to let people know that's
happening each quarter it would we want
to get to a point to where we're
creating communication artifacts at the
end of each quarter so that there's a
progress report about the work that's
happening so parents do realize we're
trying to build a strong system so that
the Improvement you see is at scale and
not just these idiosyncratic one-off
site approach
you should leave more often
so I'm going to go back we're done with
this I mean this is a big deal this is a
big deal
so who is who is the keeper of this
document just
so I mean for updates
yeah she looks excited
well it sits with the executive
leadership team Rose Academy support
yeah well I'm just saying like for
example some of the things that are
board related so say
that's a small thing but like the Fiat
is going to happen in Q3 and not in Q2
and so who am I going to say
move that onto a nice it's you okay
that's good
okay okay
so I'm gonna dismiss the staff so they
can try to not slip and slide their way
home
in the ice
I believe so it's getting warmer out
there
okay
no actually it's not it's not what
supposedly it is getting warmer but
still just above
yeah
okay so keep plowing forward
did you want to try to edit the document
as well
is that what we were doing yeah I wasn't
I wasn't tracking it until it would be
easier
we haven't made big changes we added a
couple of relatively small things yep
okay so so wear it small not
insignificant
um
who said you guys could leave and you're
still here
chair is going to serve as my backpack
who has to stay out get a little sketchy
Sharon has to stay after
sure
everybody else gets to go to recess I
don't think they were listening
so your email here or go home and clear
your
emails
in the gray boxes we wanted to add
standards one five six you know just the
numbers and the descriptions
02h 30m 00s
okay so so we left off at communications
and community relations
um is
there it is
so what we have as a goal is rebuilding
Communications infrastructure and
operations
and the indicator is complete the
communication plan with a broad range of
clearly identified strategies to clear
and effective communication
positive changes in the school district
12 stakeholders
we can so do we like that one do we want
to trash it do we want to work
it's not super clear to me
and and the end goal of a plan is not
what's most it's not completely
implementing it yeah just just having it
communication plan
period is probably just
that we sent from our
um
you guys got it from the evaluation
and I don't think
Community yeah
um
when I had established effective
communication systems within district
and with broader community
I think captures what we're trying to
say
well I think what the positive wasn't
really need to change the narrative so
it was just a reminder of
being
it's not that we should okay what did
you say establish effective
communication systems within district
and with broader community
another goal like replacing that or
I mean I would this doesn't mean much to
me
I rebuild Communications infrastructure
to me the goal is to establish effective
communication systems within the
district and with broader communities
and there's a few metrics here I don't
know how
I mean what we said in this evaluation
is developing the overall communication
strategy and development regular
communication feedback which both
internally and externally particularly
with historically underserks communities
that's pretty much the same thing
which I sent to you guys yeah yeah
um
I got it
that's internal and external
communication system so that's I'm fine
with that too it says the same thing and
inequity
um okay so wait a minute so is that the
goal or that's the goal and their
Communications
um well one metric is
uh
I don't know if you want to go into the
internal reports out to the board but
bi-weekly internal reports to the board
substantive reports to the community at
board meetings
okay and Roseanne and you got my the
other changes on page one well I'm
looking
this is Adam do you have a hard copy of
it
by any chance I emailed it to you
part of this uh my struggle with this
and I was talking so
what's an internal Communications plan
providing how you measure
all right I'm not I I don't have
anything to whip out for Adventure on
that tonight
yeah somebody's smarter than that
somebody has to write the plan first so
yeah so somebody's smarter than me might
have so maybe we
just say our goal is to have a plan and
then Patrick is
being implemented that
it's our broad criteria
I'm sorry you don't think there's a need
for an internal community no no I don't
know how to do a metric on that you have
to say
it's this but I don't know how
the internal thing is is
my
um
anyway I don't know how to write a
metric for that at least I don't
you know people shouldn't be who work
here shouldn't pick up The Oregonian and
read what's happening
um at the central office from this
02h 35m 00s
newspaper all the time I know well
that shouldn't that shouldn't happen so
to be an internal communication thing
can also be a customer service survey
where we're hearing back from
when a teacher goes to HR and
gets totally frustrated by whatever
happens
we want to hear about it if they go to
HR and be like they just left me up we
want to hear about it
but we have now mechanisms reflecting
now
I mean I I think there's there's a lot
of
you know that's why the vision stuff has
been so good is because there's people
who we haven't asked before
or at least you know feeling good that
they're having a chance to input that
so that's
that's one little piece of it but
there's a lot of other
pieces
[Music]
if students our students internal
but but there's a whole system there
that
it's going to take a while to build
I don't know how to put that
one metric that was here is create
meaningful opportunities for stakeholder
engagement is that too vague
um
I mean that's important to do I I'm just
what we're looking for here is
a stronger capacity for us to
effectively communicate internally
externally to the public to the media
to students to school communities so
we're not there yet this is one of the
remaining departments to
rebuild which is why that word is there
um
so I'm trying to
understand
what success would look like yeah June
in this area that would equip us better
to have to get more solid in this area
that I don't think anybody has felt
dissatisfactory yet
is to create that plan yeah me right
which is why I completed communication
plan is here so
um and a plan will include sort of water
infrastructure changes
for instance
um
so I
have a couple of things that and you
guys find that they weren't in there
because this isn't but when I thought
about this earlier you know
yeah internal communication strategy for
fostering collaboration
with metrics again but it's still pretty
fuzzy in terms of yeah is is it
referring to how we all work together
and communicate with each other as staff
I think that's part of it I think it's
really multi-dimensional if we're
talking internally because and that's it
we have a lot of ways we do that
but again that's Community is that
communicating too
this is internal this is our own
internal workflow and communication is
that getting input from as well
we're talking about two different things
yeah we're talking about internal and
action no but I'm talking about
communicate
um just sharing about you know
by the way I mean I have no school
tomorrow and one thing to get feedback
from our
what are you kidding me there's half an
inch of snow out there what are you
doing
well here's the difference this year we
have a process We Gather we set up a New
York we're not talking about that
particular decision I'm saying do we
have a system in place that's both
getting information out and
back in to me communication is both of
those
cool I mean one thing I wanted to see in
this category it is create meaningful
opportunities for stakeholder engagement
and then this is similar in terms of
input and
but create mechanisms for student and
family engagement in District decision
making and we have something around
student voice under organizational
management for me personally I think it
is more community community relations I
mean it can be either one but I would
like to see under Communications and
community relations something about
mechanisms for student and family
engagement District decision which which
well under Communications and community
relations
trying to understand the expectation
because I don't have any more hours to
give here's what's going on right now a
02h 40m 00s
pretty comprehensive involved in
planning and execution of a visioning
process I'm coming off of at least a
dozen pretty big Community meetings with
every multiple Pathways program we have
work that we're doing with access we
have work that we're doing with Bridger
all of which I've been to we have work
that's going on with Rosa Parks about to
kick in again because they're you're
getting the communications it's not like
they have we haven't engaged them
so you know and the school kind of
survey and the school climate survey
that's establishing the Baseline for
like there's so there's a lot going on
right now and that doesn't even count
all my evenings well that means you just
killed this message underserved
communities and you know diversity
it's not everything that we're talking
about is something that has to have
sure it can
not don't you do that with to-do lists
certainly what I do
okay I just want to make sure the
language sort of yeah not just because
there's been a lot of Engagement is it
ideal at the level that we wanted to be
no of course not do we want it to be
two-way all of our ongoing work of
course I think that's a great example
right now
we're we're the needles in the red in
this area so and it's never enough for
our communities so well just because
we're calling it out as something
important doesn't mean that we don't we
think it's unsatisfied
okay but I think it should be explicit
create mechanisms for student and family
engagement is that a metric in District
decision making it's uh it's a goal
so I
um
for both of these the measurable is
there's a plan
there's a mechanism
well there are actually some metrics
that are included in the work plan that
are pretty specific because you have
launch a new one student support are
these going away well
instead of Can you strike through I
guess instead of erasing this up
sure so we're my three build
Communications infrastructure is it a
strike through I mean are we taking that
out
um
yeah I think the red took the place of
that
yeah yeah
and we're keeping us to established
about the communication systems with
district and with the broader Community
yeah
and then I would make a space because
it's a separate goal when you get to
create mechanisms that's a separate goal
oh yeah okay let's get rid of this yeah
yeah
and then I don't know how you know
nitpicky people want to get but
understood a voice if you want to
include a metric launch new office of
student support because that is
something that we'll okay so my
understanding was that that was being
reconsidered so we will
this would be as a metric if we do put
it on there so it would be off the trip
if I had to pick things from the
work plan
as to pull out as a prior priority that
wouldn't be
like a specific launch that office
and Leadership opportunities so we're
about to sort of do a little reorging to
be able to accomplish that so however
you want to care right so you know we
have the spring supporting leadership
conferences including the Middle grades
we want to set up for more Affinity
groups in the high schools and the
middle schools uh we want to repurpose
some of our student advisors who are
very Youth Development oriented
to help lead some of these efforts uh we
are working with Nick to bolster some of
the work that they want to do as a
district
you know it's beginning to give shape to
what student engagement and youth
leadership can start to look like in PPS
uh it's just we're starting to sort of
gather elements that have been sitting
in different teams together can I just
wait out so on page three
third box down yeah there it is yeah
thank you a second second box down
promote student voice and Leadership and
increase student engagement
opportunities evidence is increased
opportunities
under the organizational management okay
so how about we cut and paste we move it
into Communications and community
relations those metrics are fine with me
foreign
02h 45m 00s
and then just move these metrics
in collaboration with student leadership
development you're looking at the
horizontal version
no it's just in a different category
we're talking about moving it there are
differences
um
thank you
um
crowdsourcing is wait a minute hang on
but you that's the nature of our Beast
unfortunately
yeah
okay um
okay so we know what we want to do yeah
okay like a different one by the way
by the way back
on uh in the work planes
with a poor version we should have
something explicit engaging students
would you say in the work plan what so
in the work plan oh on the board to two
years student voice and Leadership and
besides working on the policy we should
explicit plan for oh you know on this
decision coming up that the board is
going to make I think we need to engage
students
make accountable
hopefully we'll see that with the
student resource the school resource
officers
and then just go to table
let me just type it in
yeah you have a math yeah
students are going to be very interested
in this decision so let's engage them
early
thank you
right did that and and we're going to
need to have support from this
communication staff absolutely
so again let's just distinguish what it
is I'm doing
versus something that you want to see us
do organization yeah yeah we're having a
sidebar conversation about the workbook
this is we're playing the board role not
you okay different because
if you want me to
provide personally provide increased
opportunities for student leadership
but I'm certainly giving direction in
that regard and I will be continue
participating with students out of
schools
okay so the red in there
um it's more on the first page wouldn't
that go under maintained a productive
working relations oh that's that's up
above
that goes up in the it was the third
full or the third not listening
okay that's fine so right now okay
okay are we okay with Communications and
community relations
um
yes
you're reading it and then
okay
all right organizational management
so if my visibility out with Community
Civic and all other groups I spend a lot
of my time doing is an important I will
free up that time
what do you mean because it's not
reflected there right Right In terms
there's nothing around community
relations so well actually we did call
it out in music somewhere
hey Roseanne that read
what is that
I mean that could be considered a
communication system with the broader
community
part of that implies that you have to
show up
in that first one
third box to the right
this one yeah
why would that work
because okay all right so
um
02h 50m 00s
okay so go back to community relations
um
do we want to
we want to add a goal of
I don't know
maintain good relationships with
Community stakeholders something like
that I can't promise you that
all he was talking about was showing up
maintain Communications with
it
I think it's important to note somewhere
here that part of playing the role right
to be visible across a cross-section of
communities and stakeholders
so yeah
if that's not a value then I'll free up
that time
pardon me the metric is everybody loves
you
and yeah in the in the concrete metric
is what are they saying in the newspaper
thank you
chicken dinner
okay how many Facebook surveys
yeah okay so yeah so a third goal under
this would be
um
maintain accessibility
positive presence
in the larger Community something like
that yeah what did our recent candidate
reference say
will not be an embarrassment
that was an actual headache that is one
of their strengths well it was the it
was the endorsement yes the endorsement
will not be an embarrassment Oh you mean
that was a recommendation
ask the questions are like
you know I mean you're bad
yeah all right what's this person going
to say when there's a microphone
um
so so maybe just a sentence in the first
one which is leadership as the standard
uh or refers to my own professional
learning
uh maybe just a phrase there around uh
maintain but represent the school system
positively
positively represent the school system
yeah so going back to the whatever that
evaluation
under
um at the very beginning we also had a
the board in superintendent committing
to restoring the relationship or ships
that were afraid in the process of the
Middle School transitions
um
as a specific call out
so
yeah
Tubman Rose Way
access to programs that were displaced
are you suggesting we put something
specific because staff remains engaged
with those School communities
I can't make them like me but pardon
I said staff continues to be engaged
with them
well I guess I'm not I don't think the
standard is whether they like but are we
working at
supporting School communities that were
impacted by our decision making and it's
a board
goal as well yeah
under organizational management
Community
albeit access on Friday
this
argue with that and I was suggesting
that we follow through on what we had
the evaluation which is during
relationships
I remember that in my actual evaluation
okay it's on page three three
third paragraph
I wouldn't Elevate that to this I think
that there's a lot of things that are
that level
of
urgency
02h 55m 00s
okay so remember this is back in the
leadership in District culture section
[Applause]
is this leadership or is it some
Communications and community relations
that's my question so maybe we actually
moved down that positive
representation down to community
relations and add something in reference
to
the
okay okay so
and and
to to rebuild Trust
I'm not rebuilding it in every instance
I think it was rebuilt trust it was
restore our relationships
just want to add that maintain a
positive president press presence
can you continue to bribe
reports for school communities that were
impacted by the middle school process
how about building
trust with the district and school
communities that have not been paid
attention to because that's yeah because
I do spend a lot of time doing that
because that's part of my problem with
just calling out the middle schools is
it's like how about all the title one
schools that I have never I'm not just
going about one thing I'm just rearing
what we as a group said to Guadalupe
but but there are other things that have
happened in the interim right so you can
make it you can make it broader
okay maintain a positive presence in the
in the community and
internet
um
work at restoring relational trust with
with school communities
so
just applied to new ones or the ones
that
it's a building relationship
yeah
creating relationship
S
I don't know if it was there to restore
her yeah
or create it was already tenuous
I'd say build because that can be filled
upon or build from scratch okay so
evidence
[Laughter]
it was
um
present I mean it's president's presence
and engagement and
okay I try to make sure that I'm visible
at a variety of different kinds of other
communities yeah it's not just defense
it's not just performances it's
Athletics it's parent groups it's parent
coffees let's act active Presence at a
wide variety of and a cross-section of
or a white variety to turn in your
calendar
it's all there
um
okay so uh
I think about active so Presence at wide
variety of
school and community activities
venues
yeah that's good variety of students
physical presence school and community
ah it's okay look at that I do I do yeah
my best friend
so
okay are we good yeah all right okay
um organizational management
or deposit a safe and positive learning
environment for students and staff so
it's actually standards four seven and
nine
but I wasn't quite sure here because it
looks like
actually
that's effective resources and personnel
management which somehow got smushed out
03h 00m 00s
of which seemed rather like large areas
to not have called out
sorry did that make any sense
I can't hear anymore
so that standard organizational
management is actually if you look at
the osba standards it's effective
resources and personnel management
but we don't have that anywhere else and
so
I don't know so if you look through this
there's nowhere we're at prioritizing
any of the bond or the financial
management of the district
yeah we are where is that it's the third
the third box down under I'm sorry
so
I would just suggest
are we going to try and use the osba
standards names yeah because then it
would be effective resources and
personal management and organizational
management
in two different standards
they're actually standards four seven
and nine that's what it looks like
standard four is effective management
well I guess we've
we were trying to consolidate
so yeah it makes sense and not
necessarily keeping the standards titles
okay we'll
we'll dolls in the measures
Okay so
safe and positive learning environment
we've got the culture and climate
surveys
develop
mtss
and develop a framework for
district-wide PBIS
truly you took out MTS yes well I put it
differently I have developed a district
one PBIS system as part of the mtss
framework it's a system sorry
so the question is is shears our
expectation that we're just as
establishing a framework or they're
actually providing supports to students
I think they're they're establishing a
framework this year
what the implementation becomes
this infrastructure PD
and these areas so it's ramping up and
it's definitely so next year would be
like full implementation yeah
we're going as wide as we can with the
resources we have
so this year's advertising schools
framework in the system
s
and same thing with PBIS we don't we're
not actually providing supports to
students
we followed through on the things we
committed to doing for student
intervention you know crisis response
um so we have a team we have a team
that's out I mean all the contractual
things that he agreed to but we don't
have we have an mtss but we don't know
PBIS district-wide framework I mean so
that's why I'm saying that these just
systems that still need to be further
developed so this means at the end of
this year that framework will be
if you have sugar will be completed
it'll it'll be articulated around what
it will start to look like in
implementation of which there are
examples of but it's not at scale
because we don't have the capacity no
but the development that's a solution to
what it says here
mtss Frameworks I'm just saying so
this is saying at the end of this
school year we'll have the framework in
place
if you accomplish the goal
that was my understanding do you have a
framework and examples of what it's
looking like
in supporting schools so then starting
July one the the goals for 1920
will be implementation at whatever scale
whatever scale we afford or invest in
yeah so during the budget process we
should see some
with this much money and get this amount
with that much money to get that
you have to have to give us an idea yeah
I think that's that's what the team's
been sort of locked up uh dealing with
but I think what you're going to see is
you know there's hundreds more entering
kindergartners on IEPs we didn't
anticipate so there's going to be a big
ask there just to just to comply with
their plans so yeah you're going to see
a request for more focal Focus program
classrooms you're going to see requests
for either more teachers to open up more
classrooms or additional parents at
other higher sped Educators personally
oh yeah sped is is ballooned because
03h 05m 00s
they're entering the system with plans
and so
we're gonna have to deal with that we we
can't sort of we have to so
okay we're we're getting yeah so
okay does so is this language okay
yep
yep so again I wanted to put under
um I think I put in TSS
further down under curriculum too so
this one I was just trying to say this
was Behavior here's the PBIS system it's
going to be part of that bigger mtss
framework
it was subtle but we weren't developing
the MTS says here under Behavior because
it's the triangle has two halves yes
right and under curriculum planning and
instructional leadership
things he assist yep
okay so are we good with that
so next box is support targeted School
Improvement efforts develop a
differentiated School support and
interventions mode oh wait a minute can
we go back to the others so I I thought
we were looking at the whole
instead of going through one by one
we're saying
are there Physicians
this whole section okay so I want to
keep the one line develop a
district-wide PBIS system is part of
mtss framework instead of splitting into
the two that's on the
is on the vertical one
where do you want this statement all
right do you want to take out these two
and put the one yeah okay it just makes
more sense you mean you want to combine
those two not this you just
no I had it on a different document it
is kind of combined
develop a district-wide PDI system as
part of mtss framework
so in the next one are we just
developing and submitting it or are we
actually this is the
should we should it be being implemented
well that's a plan it's a question it's
a question no here's where the status of
that so the team has been busy tiering
our schools and differentiating supports
and coaching to them what we have not
received is ode has not issued
um CSI and GSI templates out to
districts so we don't we personally went
out there and met with them as a team
like let us know when that's ready we're
gonna we're gonna sort of start doing
the work assuming at some point you're
going to give us a template to fill out
for compliance purposes but we don't
have that yet or are they going to build
it based on what we show them about what
we're already doing we heard no evidence
they've got it together yet so they're
already a year behind so
is that allowed
that's at some point otherwise it's like
what is the line you have to be
responsive to the state of Oregon plan
so I imagine sometime this spring will
give us some kind of a template and
we'll plug in all the work that we're
pre-slugging and we'll submit it
is even a definition
and we want to submit it because we want
the set aside that comes with it as
insufficient as it is it's almost a
million dollars we could use that now
across 30 schools which is about 20
grand for school so what is that going
to buy us
okay cool all right let's move on okay
it's page two better nothing so I have
something at the very last one
um
it's the initiate process on the right
hand side the last box
um
so it seems like
we want to do more than just the audit
completed and the findings communicated
is it
okay usually when there's an audit
there's findings and then and
recommendations so
which is the very last bullet on an
honored 2017. it's actually not an audit
of over and it's audit of the bond
yeah that's it audit of 2017 Bond oh
external audit for performance of it
so it should read a performance audit of
2017 Bond complete
okay find that you know findings and
recommendations
findings communicated recommendations
and recommendations in a minute
assuming we have those and they're
doable for being completed by June
all right
this this is a huge thing this year that
I think I know we don't want to add more
03h 10m 00s
but it seems like
one of the bishop good credit
Madison Lincoln and Vincent and Benson
and then there's a piece for Benson to
complete but it seems like
that's those are milestones
well it is continued implementation upon
funded School modernization
right so so I'm I'm hearing at a bullet
right yeah completion and planning for
school
you know three quarters the way through
that with Benson
yeah to get over there so completion and
planning and initiation of construction
submittal of Master plans designing
design and construction there's still a
lot of design next year
we did demolish at school
construction okay okay
um
we're looking for a sentence for
everything we just
oh
uh
uh completion of design work and
initiation of
design work for
medicine
Lincoln Kellogg
and Benson
initiation of construction
of the hill of Construction Construction
it's more the all the pre-construction
that's something but those are those are
huge Milestones regardless of whether
the construction is
an approval of Master plans for
does that make sense
there's more than that Kellogg as well
Keller
well is that different from practical
completion of design
completion of design work
and board approval of Master plans for
um
okay so approval approval of Master
plans for
actually
um
whatever you'll be at completion of
design for everything but Ben said
um
so I think it needs to be worded in such
a way that
like it's not like the Benson's Complete
because I think that's what's going to
happen over the next
three to four months um
by March 31st right so yeah but it
doesn't speak to designer I can't see
there I'm just I want to make sure I
just want to make sure that completion
and approvement that's fine
okay it doesn't speak to the design but
yeah
okay that's okay goodness it doesn't say
anything about it yeah good enough it
leaves out the middle part but that's a
lot of work for one year for one
sentence
how about design completely
[Music]
yeah but it wouldn't I mean I don't
think we like to get it it's fine it's
fine we're leaving now it's fine that's
fine
yeah
anything else in this section
s
sounds good okay
delete that cell that row delete row yes
I promise so just
it just depends
I like the Lee rope across or do it
later both boxes yeah
okay
okay
yeah
have you saved it Roseanne yeah
same version
yeah
snack cream
03h 15m 00s
memories that yeah doing two hours of
work and then having something happen
yes yeah it's very smart
okay anything I curriculum planning and
instructional leadership so I'm I'm
sorry I'm still on the
um
page three at the top
um
or it says that complete and communicate
and updated five-year racial equity and
social justice I think you mean plan not
policy because a policy right right yeah
yeah
I think it's
moved down
didn't we move the student voice yeah we
did so
you're good don't test on the budget
wow
are we still in that section here right
here
sorry Justice plan
okay I don't know about the evaluative
metrics of what work that's happening
right now is a bunch of focal groups are
coming together that are convening so
she's refreshing the lens she's bringing
it to the board as a Next Step
um
refreshing everything on our home page
and you know
just constructing a plan refresh
this language
specifically came right out of the
workplace
yeah so it's just the including
evaluative metrics I'm not quite sure
what that means
could we delete the last three words
well it's because the previous plan was
not a plan
we're getting we're getting a limits we
could probably
that's that was the
can I keep keep going
well
does anybody object to taking those last
three words
they're in the work plan take them out
of the work plan too
I mean we just understand the work
better than when we did this in October
yeah
okay what else okay down to the one that
says develop
um
produce uh stakeholder friendly budget I
would say how do you say student-focused
budget
recommended budget
I don't know I don't know what
stakeholder friendly means but I imagine
readable readable communication
uh an easy to understand communication
strategy around production well I'd
rather say produce a student Focus I'm
agreeing with you I think we produce a
budget and we have a community
have
two ways to weigh in that makes sense
which goes back to the goal number two
on Communications number three
and yes so we're saying a
student-focused recommended FY 2020.
then I had on the next one I don't know
if I'm almost the right word either
but sustainable that's what I was saying
okay
it's fine
just FYI we're going through a big
cutting exercise because we don't
actually have new monies for July
our expenses are going up by just
maintaining current levels so
that's not a small number
so it's that second foreign
so on that last one in the category
um
I would just change it it just it's
weird it worded Strangely I would change
it to effective management of District
resources and implements
third-party auditing
03h 20m 00s
or support third party auditing
oh great
well the way it's worded right now is
effective management third party
auditing I would just say effective
management resources which is a core
yeah I think we've dropped some words
well I've never put insure because
my lawyers that I work with don't allow
me to say that
right
that always gets edited out of my
documents by the lawyers
um
and then under the complete the kafir
don't
you want to have a clean audit report
I mean
we do pin yeah
I don't know what the complete a Capper
and audit findings is just like complete
a cafe and then
that's not a good rating
like with minimal findings or right
or non-material findings
and that's that's what you want
we know we're going to submit a Capper
so that's what happens
pardon this already happened
yes yes
okay
so let's set the high standard that he's
already met okay
with no with no findings
instead
there has to be some benefit to do
that we did
on the last one cooperation at Secretary
of State's audit and
create
they're doing here
we submitted
um
I was going to suggest some changes in
the last sentence oh wait a minute
before we leave this is
um
so receive a
clean audit receive a cafe
clean camera
Fame reviewer
we've provided the report correct right
fill other languages so right so it's so
complex but this is an external audit
right someone else did it who
but it requires hundreds of hours of our
team okay so so then
cooperation with
external Auditors to produce a clean
capital
no material findings
let's say that's going to be like
occurring like goal not just the years
where it's already happened
we will continue to build on our
successes
yes because that's the standard that you
want
I mean
and it just happened to be also the one
that we got
okay
is somebody typing
go ahead
just gotta get our charger
oh did they go to the next page yeah oh
yeah
so on the
so I would
be cooperation in Secretary of State's
audit semicolon
build audit action plan
so these should be cooperate
foreign
I
would just Implement recommendations
from Secretary of State sector well
I was just trying to give to the the
steps would be the building the audit
action plan and implementing it
I mean we've got theirs I think we have
to include
03h 25m 00s
I mean this is like a huge body of work
that's going to happen across
the organization
you're a darn good secretary
yeah
Mr Colin
disagree
I took Orchestra not typing
that's why I never finished
such a thing is addictive text is
speech to text
okay we're done
yes there's another page
that's what I was referring to
um
next section so
the um establishing culture of
performance reviews
um oh you know what no
excuse me
my job's becoming impossible
that's why there are so many pages here
so I guess we had I'm just looking to
see a kid
touches on all these things
differentiated School support and
intervention systems arguably yes
um
targeted strategies of support to raise
achievement for historically underserved
students
not really
well we've got Equitable access and
outcomes for all students
you know what it's
second box
should be under it talks about
differentiation supports it doesn't talk
about targeted interventions for
identified subgroups of students well we
have different I mean I think we have it
under Equitable outcomes
um
yes safe and supportive learning
environments
uh do we have somewhere in here of uh
updated my job racial Equity policy yes
yes I'm fine then with curriculum
anything so I have something in there if
you want anything on uh
yeah developing a plan for
um adoptions
this year I thought they were developing
there so we're developing a corporate
so there are probably some areas where
materials adoptions
could be used but these are all
these are co-constructed with teachers
textbook based curriculum
so I have one thing in the curriculum
planning instruction but I'm not sure
where where to put it or maybe it was
earlier but
um in the evaluation
last year we had on page 14. Middle
School piece can make it be more noise
you could I'm going to hold this
together okay
which was
um
more looks forward to regular status
reports on these on the three middle
schools during the year and further
information on progress towards refining
the Middle School model that we applied
district-wide the expectation is that
planning and concrete steps will be
taken through the remainder of the
students in under enrolled case in the
middle schools as soon as possible the
superintendent will Engage The Board in
creating a timeline
um so if I were to try and capture that
two pieces I don't know if it's in this
section or a different section
okay
it could be it could be there or it
could be
the boundary stuff in here
yes well but it's also Equitable
accessories a better place than just
temporarily go back to
is everything Julia should go
I
mean there's a lot of stuff in that area
well I think it's about ultimately it's
Equitable outcomes
so it's under
the organizational management
so do we want to is that what so
you're talking about the middle there's
something in the evaluation that talks
about setting a timeline
03h 30m 00s
uh
and so Julie and I were just trying to
figure out which which one it went into
because it
I don't know curriculum panic and
instructions except did it make it into
the work plan I don't think it did
well if it didn't make it into the work
plan it's not because
I didn't try and add it several times
Well actually it is
my understanding is that it's part of
that so the first phase of a contract is
to work towards the issue of the feeders
Kellogg followed by
what recommendations there are for
reconfiguring it I think
so Julia I'm not opposed to adding it it
might be under the third box
under the organizational management
we've got a bunch of stuff the equity
facilities so if I were to describe it
in two sentences
um
it would be
provide regular status reports on the
three middle schools
semicolon
right which three are we talking pardon
which three are we talking the three
that were in your goals
akeley Harriet Tubman and yes
right okay so check and then semicolon
and so are we talking about this part
here under initiative process yes so I
would put it after Focus option review
in the next what
provide forward with a mid-year update
on
three little
semicolon
prepare a timeline for Engage The Board
in creating a timeline
which will be largely
informed by what we start to understand
by the folks who are going to be helpful
so they're boundaries
I was going to suggest we put that
under the issuing of a contract to
assist with the preparation which is
page two
yeah
we just added it right under issue a
contract
good that's exactly where we put it
into my mind for what four
yeah
the expectation is that that planning
and concrete steps will be taken to move
the remainder of the students in under
rural caves into middle schools as soon
as possible the superintendent will
Engage The Board in creating a timeline
for this to happen
um
that's more completion of transition in
Middle School
completion of K-8 reconfigurations
to be exact
ly it's not that there's anything wrong
it's not just kid AIDS
back on under curriculum with mtss to
develop and Implement so didn't we have
that discussion that we weren't really
implementing but just developing this
year
so take out Implement yeah probably
yes
it's part of a page three or somewhere
maybe page four page four that's pretty
good
there it is
but part of what we saw in a deliverable
in our Learning Journey which I can
share with all of you the electronic
file of as a comprehensive student
family handbook that actually lays out
TSS and behavior expectations and tiered
interventions are makes those
transparent to the whole District
community so we want to move towards
that direction
so that isn't happening at the school to
the students
they would go right to it says here up
8-7 this level of infraction would
result in this level of support yeah
okay
Focus
I don't have anything to work it's an
education
so talent management I've got something
I was a teacher
okay
I'm telling Management in the second box
okay
but um
the I think the key deliverable we may
be transitioning to an annual evaluation
but the what was promised was that
everybody would be evaluated in the
central office
03h 35m 00s
oh yeah okay
that's what Claire promised
that everybody would have an evaluation
every year
so that is the intention and we are
currently
um
I guess the question is when do you
actually do that transition to annual
evaluations well I think what because I
think what Claire said yes was that
um it may not be under the new
evaluation system but everybody would be
evaluated
yes
oh I see what you're saying it's not the
timing it's a commitment that everybody
will be evaluated right
yes
it's great if if you don't
um everybody still needs to be evaluated
like the whole like my my supervisor
left mid-year so I didn't get evaluated
as days are done
let me
let me put this in the forward question
will everyone
be evaluated
by by June 30th 2019. will everyone have
been if if you count
the evaluations that came through on in
June of 2018 and the ones that will be
done between now and June then the
answer is yes the intention is that
everybody will receive an evaluation
okay there are going to be circumstances
where a direct supervisor of an employee
not six months
okay but three weeks away but yeah but I
thought we were that's we were getting a
system where that didn't happen anymore
that shouldn't happening there so we
have it we were an assistant uh where
that will be implemented right where
there's a pilot uh this year uh and it
will be fully implemented over the
course of the next
14 months 15 months where we will be
able to track much more carefully
um who's completed their evaluations and
who has what and and be able to report
on
you know the what the outcomes of those
are
well why don't we instead of saying
transition why don't we stick up
in The Matrix what we got promised was
everybody would have an evaluation so it
seems like we should just say that
because it's a 95 it's like 95 of the
goal great yeah
okay
but that's that's what is that lawyer
said was going to happen is that a
reasonable
to say that we will have evaluations
completed for central office Personnel
yes
for all employees which means all yes
all employees should have there we go
evaluations again it comes with a
question then it comes to answer who's
due in evaluation this June versus
right because of two-year Cycles
I thought we were getting off two-year
Cycles
I know but we can't under the transition
you can't do that without changing
contracts for non-rep uh for non-rep
employees right we can move to that yes
so the whole the whole discussion was
about
non-represent non-represented this is
where it came up around non-represented
employees in the central office
not receiving evaluations what's the
difference
let's just do this
it's not a verb
what's what's what's our metric complete
annual evaluations due for central
office Personnel yes
and if if the qualification is
represented versus non-represented
because the whole conversation
originally started is not as
non-represented staff you could say
non-representatives that's fine complete
annual value because they all should
have annually right they should all have
a Representatives evaluations
under the under the uh the policies have
existed uh into the beginning of this
year and that's what we're transitioning
away from so we're not doing uh biannual
we're doing
annual
okay so it was
so there a bunch of people are currently
under
an old contract that was every other
year right I
so non-representative bargaining
agreement
uh so though there there is a chunk of
people right
there's a reset we intend to do on July
1st
we've got some language there is
going to do and I can I'm gonna follow
up with Claire because Sheena had a
03h 40m 00s
whole discussion about it it was
not that it wasn't well we have our
chief of HR here that we're telling you
well uh I'm gonna say Clara in a
public representative staff that
everybody but everybody evaluations yes
right absolutely and that will happen
and I think we want to say uh
non-represented it says staff without
central office right
is that correct
for unrepresented central office
Personnel does that capture it yeah okay
not a representative
the non-represented central office
person I thought you wanted to take out
the central office it's fine
okay
okay
we can go bigger
it's a good thing you didn't leave
okay
Labor Relations
so
um second box
on the left
again I would get rid of the word
insurer I just said overseeing complete
contract negotiations
feet I'm the Violator of the insurance
what word oh sure it has a vocabulary
I can't ensure anything
um
and then okay
oversee and complete
yeah
I mean
he's already doing all the annual
evaluations for them
so apparently
is that not on the work plan and not on
my valuation
is it is it not on the workplace it is
some open questions about timing so it's
possible
okay it's probably under systems okay so
I have one last item
um in the evaluation we also and this is
just for consideration under labor
partners
we recommended that there be
um
meetings with the other
um
labor roughs
oh just hurting his evaluation like
versus not just Pat yeah
it was an art intention of just Pat
that's happening right
right
regular well
with some groups often with others less
so me personally I don't mean with all
every unit all the time so there's a
little bit of discussion here so we can
decide not but just the raising it
because it was in the evaluation it says
on page nine another positive step would
be to set up regular meetings with
leadership of the district's other Union
Partners let's put it in we're doing it
another uh
perhaps a meeting tomorrow
are we adding something so yeah right
regular meetings with all
major employer groups are all but are
you saying you don't think that's a good
use of your time
are you suggesting that I should be
doing that
so
you know I think our superintendent's
responsibility is to ensure that
um
those relationships oh sorry I go away
from church you're like a lawyer
I am like a lawyer
absolutely not enough
time in your legal team
um so what's what's uh what I mean for
the superintendent to be directly
involved with each of our unions versus
have a fantastic Labor Relations team
that Fosters those relationships I mean
I think the first one is is General
enough that's why first goal is General
enough yeah
um and I think the metric is
specific enough
I think they're fine like a lot of these
things in here he's not going to
personally do
they do oh that's understood you're not
I'm just raising the stuff that we put
in the evaluation to see if we wanted to
pull it through it and you said that was
03h 45m 00s
on page nine I agree it should be in
there but it's it's not going to be
quite a looping personally meaning
employee
[Music]
there are some things I think that were
in that evaluation
that
were probably one of us
so at the time we were writing this that
that evaluation
um things were particularly contentious
with
um
well not everybody but you know a you
know one Union in particular
met with them
and and the z-spotted and some
and and
things changed right so they live in
that world so that's kind of a it's a
one-off it doesn't have to be putting I
dropped the other one off because I'm so
we're still waiting for the list of
committees that or advisory committees
that exist it's like kind of a back
evaluation yeah I know it's really bad
anyway I mean putting it in here implies
that that's going to be a regular thing
and I don't think it should be as I said
I didn't raise all of them I just tried
to get where they seem to be a major
theme
does this capture
but
[Applause]
um
so this is the final document that will
effectively be sent back out to you in
your report packets
for this 12th
to adopt
is there a preamble coming well here I
don't know do you want a narrative
preamble
um I mean here's the elements of the
superintendent evaluation process
there should be some
it just needs a few sentences that
places this document right you know so
that a reader could understand that it's
using osva standards
okay
we want to do a one minute
I'm willing to live at somebody else
brainstorm
osba standards anything can I give it
the standard numbers
I've got your four points
to go in there it attempts to identify
specific leadership actions so we have
the superintendent
now I'm assuming that it references the
board administration's
agreed upon work plan for school year
1819
um
are we all assuming that we aren't
having any formative mid-year party
since this is that yeah
okay just say something it's lost now
I'm found
you're welcome well I would suggest we
sit on the on the board calendar right
now
Rosanne did you get the first page ones
that before you I didn't figure out
yeah we started back from the beginning
I think so
um
