NUMBER 12, DISCUSSION AGENDA EDUCATIONAL SERVICES ABOUT

[12.1 Adopt Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS AFTERNOON WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES GRANT.

[NOISE] AS YOU KNOW, THE PANDEMIC HAS FORCED DISTRICTS TO RESPOND UNPRECEDENTED WAYS.

SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE RESPONDED HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC AND OTHER WAYS ARE MORE ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC AND SO TONIGHT, AS WE TALK ABOUT THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES GRANT, WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS MAINLY ON THE WAYS THAT THE PANDEMIC HAS INFLUENCED OUR STUDENTS AND THE WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP MITIGATE THAT.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT AS WE START THAT THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN QUITE HELPFUL TO DISTRICTS AND WHAT THEY'VE GIVEN TO US TO HELP US RESPOND.

ON THE TABLE THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, NINE DIFFERENT PODS OF MONEY.

ALL OF THEM RELATED TO COVID-19.

SOME OF THEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER IN THE SPRING OF 2020 AND THEN SOME ARE COMING OUT NOW, BUT YOU SEE A PRETTY ROBUST RESPONSE BY THE GOVERNMENTS TO HELP DISTRICTS.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE ON OUR OWN TRYING TO DO THIS. THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP US.

WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP AND YOU GO ACROSS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IS $25 MILLION WORTH OF MONEY THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED TO HELP US RESPOND TO THE PANDEMIC AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT EIGHT OF THESE PODS.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ONLY ONE AND THAT GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT, THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES OR ELO GRANT TO ABOUT $6.4 MILLION.

TWO THINGS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO CONSIDER, ONE 25 MILLION TOTAL, BUT TWO, THIS IS ONE TIME MONEY AND SO EACH ONE OF THESE NINE SEPARATE PODS, WE GET ONE TIME, BUT IMPORTANTLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WE CAN EXPEND IT ALL THE WAY FROM 2020, ONE ALREADY EXPIRED, ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2024.

ALTHOUGH IT'S ONE TIME MONEY, WE CAN'T GET MULTI-YEAR BENEFIT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND IT ALL AT ONCE.

WE CAN SPEND IT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

CONTEXT FOR THAT 25 MILLION IS THIS, OUR ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AS A DISTRICT IS 120.

IN THE LAST YEAR THAT'S 14 MONTHS, WE'VE RECEIVED ABOUT 21 PERCENT OF OUR NORMAL ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET JUST TO RESPOND.

THIS IS AN ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE GET FOR THE LCFF AND ANY OTHER FEDERAL DOLLARS, 25 MILLION IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR US.

SPECIFICALLY, TO THE ELO, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AB 86,

[00:05:03]

PART OF THE PROVISION OF THE LAW WAS ON OR BEFORE JUNE 1ST, THAT'S TODAY, GOVERNING BOARDS HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PLAN AND ADOPT IT IN ORDER TO GET THE MONEY OUT.

OF THE NINE POTS OF MONEY YOU SAW IN THAT TABLE, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC PLAN WRITTEN ON A CDE ISSUED TEMPLATE WITH BOARD APPROVAL.

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE NINE SO FAR THAT THEY'VE REQUIRED US TO DO THAT FOR, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

IMPORTANTLY, THERE ARE TWO MAIN INTENTIONS OF THIS GRANT.

ONE IS TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION TO HELP ANY STUDENTS WHO HAD LEARNING LOSS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

SECOND THING THAT IS THE INTENTION OF THIS GRANT IS TO HELP PROVIDE FOR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING FOR STUDENTS AND THE REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT IS THIS, WHEN WE ASK OUR STAKEHOLDERS WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS AS A DISTRICT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE PRIORITIES ON OR THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON TIME AND TIME AGAIN, TWO THINGS COME UP.

ONE, MAINTAIN OR INCREASE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE KIDS, THAT'S NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 2 PROVIDE FOR THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF THE STUDENTS.

OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DIDN'T MATTER HOW WE ASK THE QUESTION.

WE SENT A SURVEY OUT AT THE END OF APRIL, ALMOST 2,000 PEOPLE RESPONDED AND WE ASKED MULTIPLE QUESTIONS, BUT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT THE SAME THING.

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN? CAME BACK TO THOSE TWO THINGS, AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT YOU SEE THE STATE GIVE YOU $6.4 MILLION AND SAYS OUR INTENTIONS ARE HELP MAINTAIN AND INCREASE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND PROVIDE FOR THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING OF THE KID AND THAT JUST DOVETAILS PERFECTLY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED AS A DISTRICT AND WHAT YOUR STAKE HOLDERS REPEATEDLY TELL YOU.

WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE TWO THINGS COME TOGETHER LIKE THAT, THE PLAN TELLING YOU HOW TO SPEND IT, AND THE STAKE HOLDERS SAYING, PLEASE PRIORITIZE THINGS IN THIS MANNER, THE WRITING OF THE PLAN BECOMES PRETTY EASY.

SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN SPEND THE MONEY, BUT AGAIN, MOST OF THEM ALL TIED INTO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.

WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE BRIEFLY JUST SO YOU GET A SENSE OF THE WAYS THE STATE WOULD ALLOW YOU TO SPEND THE 6.4 MILLION.

FIRST, EXTENDING INSTRUCTIONAL TIME FOR KIDS.

THINK ABOUT THIS IN TERMS OF SUMMER SCHOOL OR AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

COULD BE AN EXTENDED SCHOOL DAY OR AN EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR.

SECOND, ACCELERATE PROGRESS TO CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.

YOU CAN HIRE CLASSIFIED STAFF, CERTIFICATED STAFF TO HELP CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP FOR KIDS AND MITIGATE ANY LEARNING LOSS THAT WAS OCCURRED SINCE MARCH OF 2020.

THE THIRD WAY IS, PROVIDE INTEGRATED SUPPORTS.

INTEGRATED SUPPORT WOULD BE FOOD SERVICES, COUNSELING, HEALTH SERVICES.

ANY OF THOSE EXTRA VARIABLES THAT COULD GET IN THE WAY OF A STUDENT ACCESSING THEIR EDUCATION.

FOURTH WAY THAT YOU COULD SPEND IT, A COMMUNITY LEARNING HUB.

THINK OF A COMMUNITY LEARNING HUB IS THIS SPOT THAT'S OUTSIDE OF OFF-CAMPUS IN THE COMMUNITY SOMEWHERE THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE MONEY TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE KIDS OR MEALS TO THE KIDS, COULD BE TUTORING AND SO YOU CAN PICTURE LIKE A LIBRARY STAYING OPEN AFTER HOURS EVEN THAT YOU COULD HAVE THAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY LEARNING HUB.

IT'S OFF CAMPUS AS TYPICALLY WHAT THEY REFER TO FOR THAT.

YOU CAN SPEND MONEY ON THE GRANT FOR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

SUPPORTS FOR CREDIT DEFICIENT PUPILS, SELF-EXPLANATORY.

STUDENT IS BEHIND A GRADUATION CREDITS, YOU CAN SPEND MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM.

SIXTH WAY IS A CATCH-ALL, ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SERVICES AND THEN SEVEN IS ANY TRAINING OR STAFF DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO EITHER CERTIFICATE OR CLASSIFIED TO HELP.

IMPORTANTLY, AND THIS IS CRITICAL.

THEY GIVE YOU SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPEND IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND IN ANY ONE CATEGORY.

IF YOU WANTED TO, THEORETICALLY, YOU COULD TAKE ALL THE MONEY AND JUST SPEND IT IN ONE OF THESE SEVEN CATEGORIES.

YOU'LL NOTICE WHEN WE MOVE THROUGH THAT WE'VE SPENT IN FOUR OF THE CATEGORIES AND WE HAVE NOT SPENT IN THREE OF THEM.

BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THE PLAN IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER NOW IN THIS REFRAMING, THAT SINCE MARCH OF 2020 WE HAVE BEEN IN CRISIS RESPONSE.

[00:10:03]

NOW IT'S A WAY FOR US TO REFRAME OURSELVES AND REFOCUS OURSELVES ON THE DISTRICT-WIDE INITIATIVES THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND WILL CONTINUE AFTER.

ONE OF WHICH IS ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT ONES, WHICH IS 80/70, WHERE 80 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS BE PROFICIENT LANGUAGE ARTS AND 70 PERCENT IN MATHEMATICS.

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WAYS TO SPEND THIS MONEY, AND NOT ONLY THE 6.4, BUT EVEN THE 25 MILLION THAT YOU SAW ON SLIDE 2, AND IN TWO WEEKS SUSAN WILL GO THROUGH THE BUDGET, YOU'LL SEE THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE LCAP THAT NIGHT ON JUNE 16TH, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL THAT MONEY TOGETHER? NOT ONLY MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF COVID BUT ACCELERATE FORWARD AND GET US BACK ON TRACK TO DO THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO PRIOR TO MARCH 2020.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE RELATIVE TO THE ELO PLAN ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH US GETTING BACK ON TRACK TO HIT 80/70.

THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC WAYS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO SPEND THE 6.4 MILLION.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I JUST HEARKEN BACK TO THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT.

NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST FOR US IS INCREASED MENTAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE PLANNING.

WELL, LET ME BACK YOU OUT.

REMEMBER TWO YEARS AGO, WE HIRED EIGHT MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS, SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT FOR THE DISTRICT TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING TO KIDS.

AS PART OF THIS GRANT, WE'RE PROPOSING TO ADD MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALIST AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

WE WOULD GO OUT AND HIRE ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS TO HELP THEM SEE MORE KIDS AT THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THOSE BIG SCHOOLS' CASELOADS ARE FULL. THEY GET FULL VERY QUICKLY.

SO BY US BEING ABLE TO ADD MORE, GET TO SEE MORE KIDS.

AS PART OF THIS AS WELL, WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW POSITION CALLED BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONIST.

THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD WORK WITH OUR BCBA TO HELP WITH BEHAVIOR ISSUES AS KIDS COME BACK ON CAMPUS.

SOME OF THESE STUDENTS HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN GONE FOR OVER A YEAR, DEPENDING ON GRADE LEVEL, THEY MAY HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN ON CAMPUS BEFORE.

WHENEVER YOU HAVE TRANSITIONS AND KIDS COMING BACK, IT'S HARD FOR SOME STUDENTS AND YOU SEE BEHAVIORS MANIFEST THEMSELVES.

THESE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONISTS WOULD BE DEPLOYED OUT ON CAMPUSES TO HELP WORK WITH THOSE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO GET THOSE STUDENTS INTEGRATED INTO THE CLASSROOM.

YOU PUT THOSE TWO THINGS TOGETHER, THAT'S INCREASING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT.

NUMBER TWO, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE INTERVENTION TEACHERS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, AND WE'RE GOING TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF INTERVENTION SECTIONS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

AT THE EIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 1.0 FTE, A FULL-TIME TEACHER DEALING WITH INTERVENTION FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AT EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

WE'VE HAD THAT FOR YEARS.

THE PROPOSAL IS TO ADD A 0.5 ON TOP OF THAT AT ALL EIGHT SITES.

YOU KNOW THAT FINALLY WE GOT MATH INTERVENTION TEACHERS TWO YEARS AGO AT ALL THE SITES.

AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WAS A 0.5 AT EACH SITE, WE'RE PROPOSING TO INCREASE THAT BY 0.5 SO THAT EACH ONE WILL HAVE A 1.0.

A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT ON ADDING TEACHERS ONTO CAMPUS TO BETTER WORK WITH KIDS IN SMALL GROUPS AND MASTER THE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS.

AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, RIGHT NOW WE'RE PROPOSING TO ADD ABOUT 30, 3, 0 SECTIONS TO THOSE MASTER SCHEDULES WHERE TEACHERS WOULD BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON AT LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH, GIVING THOSE KIDS AN EXTRA CLASS IN EITHER LANGUAGE ARTS OR MATHEMATICS.

NUMBER THREE, WE'RE GOING TO OFFER HUGE SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

[LAUGHTER] IT'S REALLY BIG.

NORMALLY WE HAVE SPECIAL ED, EL, AND HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL.

THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THOSE THREE SUMMER SCHOOLS, ADD ELEMENTARY, AND ADD MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AT VARIOUS POINTS THIS SUMMER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 3,000 KIDS ON OUR CAMPUS.

NOT LIKE SEPARATELY, AT ONE TIME, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 3,000 STUDENTS ON OUR CAMPUSES.

SO THIRD OF THE STUDENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO COME BACK TO SUMMER SCHOOL AND ENGAGE IN EXTRA INSTRUCTION.

THAT'S AWESOME. IT'S PRETTY BIG INVESTMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THIS SUMMER USING THIS MONEY, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR FOR 2022, BUT THAT'S AN EXCITING OFFERING FOR THOSE KIDS.

NUMBER FOUR, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CERTIFICATED PERSONNEL, CLASSIFIED PERSONNEL ARE VITAL AS WELL.

AS PART OF THIS LAW AND AS A CONDITION OF RECEIVING THE MONEY, YOU DO HAVE TO SPEND 10 PERCENT ON PARAEDUCATORS. IT'S A MUST.

[00:15:05]

WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IN TWO WAYS.

NUMBER ONE, WE'RE GOING TO HIRE PARAEDUCATORS FOR FIRST GRADE NEXT YEAR.

LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, A LOT OF THESE INCOMING FIRST GRADERS HAVE NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL.

IF THEY'VE BEEN TO SCHOOL, JUST A FEW WEEKS.

WE DO FORESEE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME TRANSITION ISSUES, SO WE'RE GOING TO STAFF OUR FIRST GRADES NEXT YEAR, MUCH LIKE WE DO KINDER TEACHER AND PARAEDUCATOR IN THE ROOM.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE POSITIONS TO BE ABOUT THREE HOURS FOR NEXT YEAR IN EACH FIRST-GRADE CLASSROOM.

THEN WE DO PLAN ON HIRING A NUMBER OF SECONDARY PARAEDUCATORS AS WELL TO HELP OUR STUDENTS.

YOU PUT THOSE TOGETHER, WE WILL EASILY EXCEED THE 10 PERCENT THAT YOU HAVE TO DO BY LAW.

THEN NUMBER FIVE, I KNOW IT'S OUR HOPE, I KNOW IT'S YOUR HOPE THAT AUGUST OF 2021 IS NORMAL, FIVE DAYS A WEEK, FULL-DAY NORMAL SCHOOL.

EVEN IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE KNOW A CERTAIN NUMBER OF STUDENTS NOT GOING TO FEEL COMFORTABLE COMING BACK, THEIR PARENTS ARE NOT GOING TO FEEL COMFORTABLE SENDING THEM BACK, AND SO WE DO PLAN AND WE'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES OF OFFERING SOME VIRTUAL LEARNING FOR THOSE STUDENTS NEXT YEAR.

THE LAW ALLOWS A 15 PERCENT SET ASIDE FOR DISTANCE LEARNING, AND WE'VE PULLED THAT ASIDE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, AND SO WE DID PULL ABOUT 960,000, 15 PERCENT ASIDE FOR DISTANCE AND REMOTE LEARNING FOR NEXT YEAR.

THOSE ARE THE FIVE GENERAL AREAS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO SPEND THE MONEY ON FOR NEXT YEAR.

PROCESS LOOKS LIKE THIS.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, HOPEFULLY, WE'LL ADOPT THIS AND I'LL SUBMIT TOMORROW.

THEN AS SOON AS IT'S ADOPTED AND SUBMITTED, KEVIN'S WORLD CHANGES DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE HE'LL HAVE A LOT OF POSITIONS TO FLY.

THE SUMMER WILL LOOK BUSY HIRING ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS TO COME IN AND WORK WITH US FOR AUGUST.

0.4 IS IMPORTANT THOUGH BECAUSE THIS IS A FLEXIBLE PLAN, ALL PROPOSALS IS FLEXIBLE.

MID-YEAR, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BOARD REPORT, JUST GIVING YOU AN UPDATE ON EXPENDITURES TO DATE, HOW THE HIRING PROCESS WENT, ETC.

ALSO, ARE WE MEETING OUR INTERNAL TARGETS TO SAY, ARE WE MITIGATING THE LEARNING LOSS THAT WE FOUND? THEN STEP FIVE IS REQUIRED BY THE CDE.

DECEMBER OF 22, WE'LL SUBMIT A REPORT ABOUT THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES THAT WE INCURRED WITH THE GRANT.

WITH ALL OF THAT, I DO WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

>> JUST FOR THE RECORD, KEVIN'S SMILING UNDER THAT MASK.

[LAUGHTER]

>> MATT, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION AND ALL THE HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND WEEKS OF WORK IT TOOK TO PUT IT TOGETHER.

>> THANK YOU.

>> IT OCCURRED TO ME LOOKING AT THESE EXCITING PROGRAMS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE, THANKS TO THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

IT'S A GLIMPSE OF WHAT PERHAPS PUBLIC EDUCATION COULD BE LIKE IF WE WERE MORE FULLY FUNDED FROM OUR FRIENDS UP IN SACRAMENTO.

I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB OF MAXIMIZING EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE'VE GOT COMING.

I DON'T EXPECT THAT WE WILL BE THIS FORTUNATE AGAIN IN ANYTIME SOON AND LET'S HOPE NOT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT VERY GOOD JOB OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND MAKING EVERY DOLLAR COUNT. THANK YOU.

>> ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE?

>> I LIKE THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD JOB, MATT. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THAT.

I READ THROUGH IT, YOU PUT A LOT OF ENERGY AND GRATEFUL FOR WHAT OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE.

>> HOPEFUL. VERY GOOD.

>> THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL.

I THINK THAT IT REALLY SHOWS HOW WELL YOU KNOW OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.

>> ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> ABSOLUTELY. CERTAINLY MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT WERE CERTAIN ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE.

ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD ADD THAT I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR CONCENTRATION ON THE 80/70 EFFORT.

IT'S DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO GET, FOLLOWING IT BACK TO THAT AGAIN, THOSE FUN OVERARCHING GOALS AGAIN AS WE COME BACK.

>> YOU BET. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MATT.

[00:20:02]

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I NEED A MOTION TO ADOPT THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES GRANT PLAN AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED, BACKING THOSE IN FAVOR.

>> AYE.

>> PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

WE HAVE NO OTHER.

WE WILL JUMP TO FUTURE MEETING DATES.

[14.1 The Next Regular Board of Education Meeting Date will be June 16, 2021 at 4:00 p.m.]

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDAS? WE WILL ADJOURN AT 04:56.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
