And now without consulting the summit board, uh you're 1200 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:35,280 consulting the summit board, uh you're 1201 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,950 consulting the summit board, uh you're proposing a change that change that 1202 00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:36,960 proposing a change that change that 1203 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,510 proposing a change that change that really pulls the rug out from our family 1204 00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:39,520 really pulls the rug out from our family 1205 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,550 really pulls the rug out from our family and I think approximately 150 other 1206 00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:42,560 and I think approximately 150 other 1207 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,390 and I think approximately 150 other families. So it's a pretty big impact in 1208 00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:44,400 families. So it's a pretty big impact in 1209 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,710 families. So it's a pretty big impact in the community and it really penalizes 1210 00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:46,720 the community and it really penalizes 1211 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,550 the community and it really penalizes children for being more than three years 1212 00:39:48,550 --> 00:39:48,560 children for being more than three years 1213 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,349 children for being more than three years apart from their siblings.

And it really is fundamentally inequitable 1224 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:02,880 it really is fundamentally inequitable 1225 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,069 it really is fundamentally inequitable to force it on Summit families now. Um, 1226 00:40:06,069 --> 00:40:06,079 to force it on Summit families now. Um, 1227 00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:08,230 to force it on Summit families now.

Under the proposed change, he 1746 00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:34,720 years. Under the proposed change, he 1747 00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:37,589 years. Under the proposed change, he loses sibling priority. He'll still 1748 00:51:37,589 --> 00:51:37,599 loses sibling priority. He'll still 1749 00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,430 loses sibling priority.

But if he doesn't, 1752 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:41,760 pray that he gets in. But if he doesn't, 1753 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,829 pray that he gets in. But if he doesn't, like 150 other families, we'll have a 1754 00:51:43,829 --> 00:51:43,839 like 150 other families, we'll have a 1755 00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:45,670 like 150 other families, we'll have a choice to make and we will probably 1756 00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:45,680 choice to make and we will probably 1757 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,270 choice to make and we will probably choose to leave the district and go back 1758 00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:47,280 choose to leave the district and go back 1759 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,430 choose to leave the district and go back to private school. 1760 00:51:49,430 --> 00:51:49,440 to private school. 1761 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,710 to private school.

My son's only failing under this 1764 00:51:53,589 --> 00:51:53,599 with. My son's only failing under this 1765 00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:55,990 with. My son's only failing under this proposal is that he and his sister are 1766 00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:56,000 proposal is that he and his sister are 1767 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,950 proposal is that he and his sister are three years apart instead of two. If he 1768 00:51:58,950 --> 00:51:58,960 three years apart instead of two. If he 1769 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,870 three years apart instead of two. If he were in fourth grade today, he'd have 1770 00:52:00,870 --> 00:52:00,880 were in fourth grade today, he'd have 1771 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,109 were in fourth grade today, he'd have priority. But because he's a third 1772 00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:03,119 priority. But because he's a third 1773 00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:06,309 priority. But because he's a third grader, he won't. That's not a policy 1774 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:06,319 grader, he won't. That's not a policy 1775 00:52:06,319 --> 00:52:08,150 grader, he won't. That's not a policy distinction grounded in equity and 1776 00:52:08,150 --> 00:52:08,160 distinction grounded in equity and 1777 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,150 distinction grounded in equity and educational value. That's not taking 1778 00:52:10,150 --> 00:52:10,160 educational value. That's not taking 1779 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,230 educational value. That's not taking kids first. That's an arbitrary line 1780 00:52:12,230 --> 00:52:12,240 kids first. That's an arbitrary line 1781 00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:14,790 kids first. That's an arbitrary line that punishes families based on birth 1782 00:52:14,790 --> 00:52:14,800 that punishes families based on birth 1783 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,150 that punishes families based on birth spacing. Our family committed PBSC based 1784 00:52:18,150 --> 00:52:18,160 spacing. Our family committed PBSC based 1785 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,390 spacing. Our family committed PBSC based on an agreement. Changing that agreement 1786 00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:20,400 on an agreement. Changing that agreement 1787 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,030 on an agreement. Changing that agreement now breaks trust with families you most 1788 00:52:23,030 --> 00:52:23,040 now breaks trust with families you most 1789 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,069 now breaks trust with families you most want to keep. So I beg you, I ask you, 1790 00:52:26,069 --> 00:52:26,079 want to keep. So I beg you, I ask you, 1791 00:52:26,079 --> 00:52:28,390 want to keep.

And so we 2918 01:17:04,950 --> 01:17:04,960 and um needs for investment. And so we 2919 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,630 and um needs for investment. And so we really went into this bill looking at 2920 01:17:06,630 --> 01:17:06,640 really went into this bill looking at 2921 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,870 really went into this bill looking at how do we try to eliminate the 2922 01:17:08,870 --> 01:17:08,880 how do we try to eliminate the 2923 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:10,550 how do we try to eliminate the duplicative and contradictory 2924 01:17:10,550 --> 01:17:10,560 duplicative and contradictory 2925 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:12,470 duplicative and contradictory requirements between the Department of 2926 01:17:12,470 --> 01:17:12,480 requirements between the Department of 2927 01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:15,430 requirements between the Department of Early Childhood and um the Department of 2928 01:17:15,430 --> 01:17:15,440 Early Childhood and um the Department of 2929 01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:19,270 Early Childhood and um the Department of Education. Turns out it's wildly um 2930 01:17:19,270 --> 01:17:19,280 Education. Turns out it's wildly um 2931 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,550 Education. Turns out it's wildly um there's a lot of people who care about 2932 01:17:20,550 --> 01:17:20,560 there's a lot of people who care about 2933 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,750 there's a lot of people who care about this from private centers to um school 2934 01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:23,760 this from private centers to um school 2935 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,590 this from private centers to um school districts. And so we really were able to 2936 01:17:25,590 --> 01:17:25,600 districts. And so we really were able to 2937 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,910 districts. And so we really were able to hone in on um the we really were able to 2938 01:17:29,910 --> 01:17:29,920 hone in on um the we really were able to 2939 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,149 hone in on um the we really were able to hone in on training for teachers and 2940 01:17:32,149 --> 01:17:32,159 hone in on training for teachers and 2941 01:17:32,159 --> 01:17:35,270 hone in on training for teachers and then also um inspection of playgrounds. 2942 01:17:35,270 --> 01:17:35,280 then also um inspection of playgrounds. 2943 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,270 then also um inspection of playgrounds. Um there's a lot of districts where the 2944 01:17:37,270 --> 01:17:37,280 Um there's a lot of districts where the 2945 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,669 Um there's a lot of districts where the playground is okay to use during the day 2946 01:17:39,669 --> 01:17:39,679 playground is okay to use during the day 2947 01:17:39,679 --> 01:17:41,350 playground is okay to use during the day and then as soon as the bell rings those 2948 01:17:41,350 --> 01:17:41,360 and then as soon as the bell rings those 2949 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,030 and then as soon as the bell rings those same students are not allowed to use the 2950 01:17:43,030 --> 01:17:43,040 same students are not allowed to use the 2951 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,870 same students are not allowed to use the playground. And so I think that there's 2952 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:44,880 playground. And so I think that there's 2953 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:46,790 playground. And so I think that there's a lot of work to be done in this space. 2954 01:17:46,790 --> 01:17:46,800 a lot of work to be done in this space. 2955 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,110 a lot of work to be done in this space. It was an opportunity to have really 2956 01:17:49,110 --> 01:17:49,120 It was an opportunity to have really 2957 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,870 It was an opportunity to have really thoughtful conversations and really um 2958 01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:52,880 thoughtful conversations and really um 2959 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,950 thoughtful conversations and really um lift up challenges that are facing our 2960 01:17:54,950 --> 01:17:54,960 lift up challenges that are facing our 2961 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,990 lift up challenges that are facing our before and afterare teachers. Um those 2962 01:17:57,990 --> 01:17:58,000 before and afterare teachers. Um those 2963 01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:59,750 before and afterare teachers. Um those were the two that we were able to tackle 2964 01:17:59,750 --> 01:17:59,760 were the two that we were able to tackle 2965 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,270 were the two that we were able to tackle this year and I hope that we're able to 2966 01:18:01,270 --> 01:18:01,280 this year and I hope that we're able to 2967 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,470 this year and I hope that we're able to tackle more next year. Um moving on to 2968 01:18:04,470 --> 01:18:04,480 tackle more next year. Um moving on to 2969 01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:06,070 tackle more next year. Um moving on to bills that we were monitoring school 2970 01:18:06,070 --> 01:18:06,080 bills that we were monitoring school 2971 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:07,590 bills that we were monitoring school finance. I'm going to get into that a 2972 01:18:07,590 --> 01:18:07,600 finance. I'm going to get into that a 2973 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,630 finance. I'm going to get into that a little bit more um in depth uh as it 2974 01:18:10,630 --> 01:18:10,640 little bit more um in depth uh as it 2975 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,030 little bit more um in depth uh as it relates to the state budget. Um so I'll 2976 01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:13,040 relates to the state budget. Um so I'll 2977 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,149 relates to the state budget. Um so I'll I'll pause on that one for a second. Um, 2978 01:18:16,149 --> 01:18:16,159 I'll pause on that one for a second. Um, 2979 01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:18,470 I'll pause on that one for a second. Um, Senate Bill 68, the modify 2980 01:18:18,470 --> 01:18:18,480 Senate Bill 68, the modify 2981 01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:21,189 Senate Bill 68, the modify administration of education assessments. 2982 01:18:21,189 --> 01:18:21,199 administration of education assessments. 2983 01:18:21,199 --> 01:18:23,110 administration of education assessments. This was a bill that was introduced. Um, 2984 01:18:23,110 --> 01:18:23,120 This was a bill that was introduced. Um, 2985 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,030 This was a bill that was introduced.

Ultimately, again, it turns out there's a lot of um 3010 01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:53,760 again, it turns out there's a lot of um 3011 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,070 again, it turns out there's a lot of um thoughts about assessments. The to do a 3012 01:18:56,070 --> 01:18:56,080 thoughts about assessments. The to do a 3013 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,390 thoughts about assessments. The to do a task force costs money.

Um, but certainly something that we anticipate 3028 01:19:15,830 --> 01:19:15,840 certainly something that we anticipate 3029 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:20,390 certainly something that we anticipate to keep um talking about. Um, the a bill 3030 01:19:20,390 --> 01:19:20,400 to keep um talking about. Um, the a bill 3031 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,470 to keep um talking about. Um, the a bill that we oppose that was postponed 3032 01:19:22,470 --> 01:19:22,480 that we oppose that was postponed 3033 01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:24,310 that we oppose that was postponed indefinitely, which means it it was 3034 01:19:24,310 --> 01:19:24,320 indefinitely, which means it it was 3035 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,790 indefinitely, which means it it was killed in committee, is the school um 3036 01:19:26,790 --> 01:19:26,800 killed in committee, is the school um 3037 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,430 killed in committee, is the school um board elections director district um 3038 01:19:29,430 --> 01:19:29,440 board elections director district um 3039 01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:31,110 board elections director district um bill. This essentially would have 3040 01:19:31,110 --> 01:19:31,120 bill. This essentially would have 3041 01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,270 bill. This essentially would have changed schoolboard elections from at 3042 01:19:33,270 --> 01:19:33,280 changed schoolboard elections from at 3043 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:37,430 changed schoolboard elections from at large to um where people can only vote 3044 01:19:37,430 --> 01:19:37,440 large to um where people can only vote 3045 01:19:37,440 --> 01:19:40,229 large to um where people can only vote for the district that they live in. Um 3046 01:19:40,229 --> 01:19:40,239 for the district that they live in. Um 3047 01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:42,470 for the district that they live in. Um BBSD took an imposed position as did 3048 01:19:42,470 --> 01:19:42,480 BBSD took an imposed position as did 3049 01:19:42,480 --> 01:19:45,590 BBSD took an imposed position as did virtually every other um district in the 3050 01:19:45,590 --> 01:19:45,600 virtually every other um district in the 3051 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,830 virtually every other um district in the state and the the bill was ultimately 3052 01:19:47,830 --> 01:19:47,840 state and the the bill was ultimately 3053 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,830 state and the the bill was ultimately postponed indefinitely. So, those are 3054 01:19:49,830 --> 01:19:49,840 postponed indefinitely. So, those are 3055 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,189 postponed indefinitely. So, those are just a few of the 700 and 700 plus bills 3056 01:19:53,189 --> 01:19:53,199 just a few of the 700 and 700 plus bills 3057 01:19:53,199 --> 01:19:55,350 just a few of the 700 and 700 plus bills that we looked at this session, but um 3058 01:19:55,350 --> 01:19:55,360 that we looked at this session, but um 3059 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,030 that we looked at this session, but um BBSD played an active role in 3060 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:59,040 BBSD played an active role in 3061 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,350 BBSD played an active role in as it relates to the state budget. Um 3062 01:20:01,350 --> 01:20:01,360 as it relates to the state budget. Um 3063 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:05,990 as it relates to the state budget. Um going into uh the session and with the 3064 01:20:05,990 --> 01:20:06,000 going into uh the session and with the 3065 01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,149 going into uh the session and with the governor's November 1st budget request, 3066 01:20:08,149 --> 01:20:08,159 governor's November 1st budget request, 3067 01:20:08,159 --> 01:20:11,270 governor's November 1st budget request, the state was looking at um a 1.5 about 3068 01:20:11,270 --> 01:20:11,280 the state was looking at um a 1.5 about 3069 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,709 the state was looking at um a 1.5 about a $ 1.5 billion budget gap um which is 3070 01:20:14,709 --> 01:20:14,719 a $ 1.5 billion budget gap um which is 3071 01:20:14,719 --> 01:20:16,709 a $ 1.5 billion budget gap um which is just astronomical. 3072 01:20:16,709 --> 01:20:16,719 just astronomical. 3073 01:20:16,719 --> 01:20:19,350 just astronomical. Um we knew that a lot of the budget 3074 01:20:19,350 --> 01:20:19,360 Um we knew that a lot of the budget 3075 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,110 Um we knew that a lot of the budget pressures facing our state were because 3076 01:20:21,110 --> 01:20:21,120 pressures facing our state were because 3077 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,590 pressures facing our state were because of Medicaid growth and expansion. This 3078 01:20:23,590 --> 01:20:23,600 of Medicaid growth and expansion. This 3079 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,470 of Medicaid growth and expansion. This is this has created a structural gap in 3080 01:20:26,470 --> 01:20:26,480 is this has created a structural gap in 3081 01:20:26,480 --> 01:20:28,149 is this has created a structural gap in our budget. So these are things that you 3082 01:20:28,149 --> 01:20:28,159 our budget. So these are things that you 3083 01:20:28,159 --> 01:20:29,830 our budget. So these are things that you know are not going to fluctuate from one 3084 01:20:29,830 --> 01:20:29,840 know are not going to fluctuate from one 3085 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,830 know are not going to fluctuate from one year to the other. It's it's they 3086 01:20:31,830 --> 01:20:31,840 year to the other. It's it's they 3087 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,510 year to the other. It's it's they compound over time. Um and then the 3088 01:20:35,510 --> 01:20:35,520 compound over time. Um and then the 3089 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,149 compound over time. Um and then the estimated impact of costs as it relates 3090 01:20:38,149 --> 01:20:38,159 estimated impact of costs as it relates 3091 01:20:38,159 --> 01:20:41,910 estimated impact of costs as it relates to the federal HR1 um bill, the 3092 01:20:41,910 --> 01:20:41,920 to the federal HR1 um bill, the 3093 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,270 to the federal HR1 um bill, the implementation in terms of 3094 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:43,280 implementation in terms of 3095 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,910 implementation in terms of redetermination of benefits um that that 3096 01:20:45,910 --> 01:20:45,920 redetermination of benefits um that that 3097 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,070 redetermination of benefits um that that would have on the state. And so just a a 3098 01:20:48,070 --> 01:20:48,080 would have on the state. And so just a a 3099 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,270 would have on the state. And so just a a significant budget gap um in the nove in 3100 01:20:51,270 --> 01:20:51,280 significant budget gap um in the nove in 3101 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:52,709 significant budget gap um in the nove in the governor's November first budget 3102 01:20:52,709 --> 01:20:52,719 the governor's November first budget 3103 01:20:52,719 --> 01:20:55,030 the governor's November first budget request, he really wanted to protect K12 3104 01:20:55,030 --> 01:20:55,040 request, he really wanted to protect K12 3105 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,990 request, he really wanted to protect K12 and public safety at most. But as um 3106 01:20:57,990 --> 01:20:58,000 and public safety at most. But as um 3107 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,990 and public safety at most. But as um we'll talk through in a second, um $1.5 3108 01:21:01,990 --> 01:21:02,000 we'll talk through in a second, um $1.5 3109 01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,149 we'll talk through in a second, um $1.5 billion is an incredible amount of money 3110 01:21:04,149 --> 01:21:04,159 billion is an incredible amount of money 3111 01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:06,870 billion is an incredible amount of money and not a single department or entity in 3112 01:21:06,870 --> 01:21:06,880 and not a single department or entity in 3113 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,709 and not a single department or entity in the state um was able to come out of 3114 01:21:08,709 --> 01:21:08,719 the state um was able to come out of 3115 01:21:08,719 --> 01:21:11,590 the state um was able to come out of this budget without experiencing cuts. 3116 01:21:11,590 --> 01:21:11,600 this budget without experiencing cuts. 3117 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,750 this budget without experiencing cuts.

At our October 2025 board presentation we 3754 01:34:07,270 --> 01:34:07,280 October 2025 board presentation we 3755 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:08,870 October 2025 board presentation we shared that we plan to partner with Dr. 3756 01:34:08,870 --> 01:34:08,880 shared that we plan to partner with Dr. 3757 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:10,550 shared that we plan to partner with Dr. Jessica Alzine, our executive director 3758 01:34:10,550 --> 01:34:10,560 Jessica Alzine, our executive director 3759 01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:12,790 Jessica Alzine, our executive director of accountability and evaluation, and 3760 01:34:12,790 --> 01:34:12,800 of accountability and evaluation, and 3761 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,709 of accountability and evaluation, and her team to dig into our data to see 3762 01:34:14,709 --> 01:34:14,719 her team to dig into our data to see 3763 01:34:14,719 --> 01:34:17,430 her team to dig into our data to see what conclusions we might draw. Dr. 3764 01:34:17,430 --> 01:34:17,440 what conclusions we might draw. Dr. 3765 01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:20,070 what conclusions we might draw. Dr. Aline and her team did a lot of work 3766 01:34:20,070 --> 01:34:20,080 Aline and her team did a lot of work 3767 01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:22,229 Aline and her team did a lot of work digging into a variety of data sets over 3768 01:34:22,229 --> 01:34:22,239 digging into a variety of data sets over 3769 01:34:22,239 --> 01:34:25,030 digging into a variety of data sets over time. And the conclusion was it's not 3770 01:34:25,030 --> 01:34:25,040 time. And the conclusion was it's not 3771 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:26,709 time. And the conclusion was it's not possible to have any conclusions right 3772 01:34:26,709 --> 01:34:26,719 possible to have any conclusions right 3773 01:34:26,719 --> 01:34:28,790 possible to have any conclusions right now given the changing parameters we've 3774 01:34:28,790 --> 01:34:28,800 now given the changing parameters we've 3775 01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:30,790 now given the changing parameters we've been operating in over time. 3776 01:34:30,790 --> 01:34:30,800 been operating in over time. 3777 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,830 been operating in over time. Specifically, 3778 01:34:33,830 --> 01:34:33,840 3779 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,629 we've just adjusted pres we have we have 3780 01:34:36,629 --> 01:34:36,639 we've just adjusted pres we have we have 3781 01:34:36,639 --> 01:34:38,629 we've just adjusted pres we have we have had adjusted preschool programming three 3782 01:34:38,629 --> 01:34:38,639 had adjusted preschool programming three 3783 01:34:38,639 --> 01:34:41,110 had adjusted preschool programming three times in the last four years. When we're 3784 01:34:41,110 --> 01:34:41,120 times in the last four years. When we're 3785 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:42,470 times in the last four years. When we're trying to figure out the impact 3786 01:34:42,470 --> 01:34:42,480 trying to figure out the impact 3787 01:34:42,480 --> 01:34:44,550 trying to figure out the impact preschool has had on a student over 3788 01:34:44,550 --> 01:34:44,560 preschool has had on a student over 3789 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,470 preschool has had on a student over time, it's hard to do when the preschool 3790 01:34:46,470 --> 01:34:46,480 time, it's hard to do when the preschool 3791 01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:48,950 time, it's hard to do when the preschool experience is not staying consistent. We 3792 01:34:48,950 --> 01:34:48,960 experience is not staying consistent. We 3793 01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,270 experience is not staying consistent. We anticipate now after new legislation and 3794 01:34:51,270 --> 01:34:51,280 anticipate now after new legislation and 3795 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,270 anticipate now after new legislation and an adjustment to that new legislation, 3796 01:34:53,270 --> 01:34:53,280 an adjustment to that new legislation, 3797 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:54,870 an adjustment to that new legislation, we'll have more consistent programmatic 3798 01:34:54,870 --> 01:34:54,880 we'll have more consistent programmatic 3799 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:59,750 we'll have more consistent programmatic offerings over a longer period of time. 3800 01:34:59,750 --> 01:34:59,760 3801 01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:01,510 It's also important to note that COVID 3802 01:35:01,510 --> 01:35:01,520 It's also important to note that COVID 3803 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,430 It's also important to note that COVID continues to impact longitudinal data 3804 01:35:03,430 --> 01:35:03,440 continues to impact longitudinal data 3805 01:35:03,440 --> 01:35:05,750 continues to impact longitudinal data sets. If we look at student trajectories 3806 01:35:05,750 --> 01:35:05,760 sets. If we look at student trajectories 3807 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:07,350 sets. If we look at student trajectories from the last five or 10 years starting 3808 01:35:07,350 --> 01:35:07,360 from the last five or 10 years starting 3809 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,669 from the last five or 10 years starting in preschool, for example, COVID remains 3810 01:35:09,669 --> 01:35:09,679 in preschool, for example, COVID remains 3811 01:35:09,679 --> 01:35:11,830 in preschool, for example, COVID remains a key variable in those data sets. And 3812 01:35:11,830 --> 01:35:11,840 a key variable in those data sets. And 3813 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:13,430 a key variable in those data sets. And with that variable, it's also hard to 3814 01:35:13,430 --> 01:35:13,440 with that variable, it's also hard to 3815 01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:16,629 with that variable, it's also hard to draw conclusions. So, all that said, for 3816 01:35:16,629 --> 01:35:16,639 draw conclusions. So, all that said, for 3817 01:35:16,639 --> 01:35:19,430 draw conclusions. So, all that said, for now, we will continue to work on 3818 01:35:19,430 --> 01:35:19,440 now, we will continue to work on 3819 01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:21,910 now, we will continue to work on maximizing preschool seats and improving 3820 01:35:21,910 --> 01:35:21,920 maximizing preschool seats and improving 3821 01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,430 maximizing preschool seats and improving and refining our preschool student 3822 01:35:23,430 --> 01:35:23,440 and refining our preschool student 3823 01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:25,189 and refining our preschool student experience in alignment with preschool 3824 01:35:25,189 --> 01:35:25,199 experience in alignment with preschool 3825 01:35:25,199 --> 01:35:26,870 experience in alignment with preschool standards, kindergarten readiness, and 3826 01:35:26,870 --> 01:35:26,880 standards, kindergarten readiness, and 3827 01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:29,430 standards, kindergarten readiness, and developmentally appropriate practices. 3828 01:35:29,430 --> 01:35:29,440 developmentally appropriate practices. 3829 01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:31,830 developmentally appropriate practices. After we have more years of UPK and our 3830 01:35:31,830 --> 01:35:31,840 After we have more years of UPK and our 3831 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:33,750 After we have more years of UPK and our consistent model, we'll work with our 3832 01:35:33,750 --> 01:35:33,760 consistent model, we'll work with our 3833 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,590 consistent model, we'll work with our data and accountability team to re 3834 01:35:35,590 --> 01:35:35,600 data and accountability team to re 3835 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,590 data and accountability team to re revisit and review a longitudinal data 3836 01:35:37,590 --> 01:35:37,600 revisit and review a longitudinal data 3837 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:39,990 revisit and review a longitudinal data set and anal and complete an analysis to 3838 01:35:39,990 --> 01:35:40,000 set and anal and complete an analysis to 3839 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:41,669 set and anal and complete an analysis to determine impact of our preschool 3840 01:35:41,669 --> 01:35:41,679 determine impact of our preschool 3841 01:35:41,679 --> 01:35:45,830 determine impact of our preschool program. 3842 01:35:45,830 --> 01:35:45,840 3843 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,110 This slide's from a previous 3844 01:35:47,110 --> 01:35:47,120 This slide's from a previous 3845 01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,110 This slide's from a previous presentation, but we wanted to include 3846 01:35:49,110 --> 01:35:49,120 presentation, but we wanted to include 3847 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:50,790 presentation, but we wanted to include it here um because we're going to 3848 01:35:50,790 --> 01:35:50,800 it here um because we're going to 3849 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,229 it here um because we're going to transition from talking about our 3850 01:35:52,229 --> 01:35:52,239 transition from talking about our 3851 01:35:52,239 --> 01:35:54,070 transition from talking about our current preschool model and how that's 3852 01:35:54,070 --> 01:35:54,080 current preschool model and how that's 3853 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,149 current preschool model and how that's going to some updates from the state 3854 01:35:56,149 --> 01:35:56,159 going to some updates from the state 3855 01:35:56,159 --> 01:35:58,550 going to some updates from the state that Teresa will share. 3856 01:35:58,550 --> 01:35:58,560 that Teresa will share. 3857 01:35:58,560 --> 01:35:59,830 that Teresa will share. It's important to remember that 3858 01:35:59,830 --> 01:35:59,840 It's important to remember that 3859 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:01,270 It's important to remember that preschool is under the Colorado 3860 01:36:01,270 --> 01:36:01,280 preschool is under the Colorado 3861 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,750 preschool is under the Colorado Department of Early Childhood while K12, 3862 01:36:03,750 --> 01:36:03,760 Department of Early Childhood while K12, 3863 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,910 Department of Early Childhood while K12, as we know, is under CDE. And there are 3864 01:36:05,910 --> 01:36:05,920 as we know, is under CDE. And there are 3865 01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:07,750 as we know, is under CDE.

Can you give us some data on what the trends are this year for 4158 01:42:03,669 --> 01:42:03,679 what the trends are this year for 4159 01:42:03,679 --> 01:42:05,189 what the trends are this year for enrollment? In the past, I've been 4160 01:42:05,189 --> 01:42:05,199 enrollment? In the past, I've been 4161 01:42:05,199 --> 01:42:06,950 enrollment? In the past, I've been concerned that maybe our rates are 4162 01:42:06,950 --> 01:42:06,960 concerned that maybe our rates are 4163 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,910 concerned that maybe our rates are higher than we would want uh in terms of 4164 01:42:09,910 --> 01:42:09,920 higher than we would want uh in terms of 4165 01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:11,510 higher than we would want uh in terms of least restrictive environment. and I 4166 01:42:11,510 --> 01:42:11,520 least restrictive environment. and I 4167 01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:13,350 least restrictive environment. and I want to know what they are this year. 4168 01:42:13,350 --> 01:42:13,360 want to know what they are this year. 4169 01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,830 want to know what they are this year. That's the first question. 4170 01:42:15,830 --> 01:42:15,840 That's the first question. 4171 01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:18,790 That's the first question. Um I can I don't have the exact number, 4172 01:42:18,790 --> 01:42:18,800 Um I can I don't have the exact number, 4173 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,950 Um I can I don't have the exact number, but I can tell you um we can certainly 4174 01:42:20,950 --> 01:42:20,960 but I can tell you um we can certainly 4175 01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:23,590 but I can tell you um we can certainly pull those for you. Um we typically 4176 01:42:23,590 --> 01:42:23,600 pull those for you. Um we typically 4177 01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:27,910 pull those for you. Um we typically start with around um 30% um of the 4178 01:42:27,910 --> 01:42:27,920 start with around um 30% um of the 4179 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,470 start with around um 30% um of the students in our classrooms have an IEP. 4180 01:42:30,470 --> 01:42:30,480 students in our classrooms have an IEP. 4181 01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:34,390 students in our classrooms have an IEP. Um we need to keep the enrollment at 50% 4182 01:42:34,390 --> 01:42:34,400 Um we need to keep the enrollment at 50% 4183 01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:37,270 Um we need to keep the enrollment at 50% or less and we are below that. Um, I 4184 01:42:37,270 --> 01:42:37,280 or less and we are below that. Um, I 4185 01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,350 or less and we are below that. Um, I think right now it's probably around 4186 01:42:39,350 --> 01:42:39,360 think right now it's probably around 4187 01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:41,990 think right now it's probably around 40%. Because throughout the school year, 4188 01:42:41,990 --> 01:42:42,000 40%. Because throughout the school year, 4189 01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,229 40%. Because throughout the school year, we add about a hundred students who have 4190 01:42:44,229 --> 01:42:44,239 we add about a hundred students who have 4191 01:42:44,239 --> 01:42:46,790 we add about a hundred students who have an IEP because, as you know, we 4192 01:42:46,790 --> 01:42:46,800 an IEP because, as you know, we 4193 01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:48,790 an IEP because, as you know, we continually need to evaluate students 4194 01:42:48,790 --> 01:42:48,800 continually need to evaluate students 4195 01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,910 continually need to evaluate students and um, students with IEPs start the 4196 01:42:51,910 --> 01:42:51,920 and um, students with IEPs start the 4197 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,229 and um, students with IEPs start the program as soon as their IEP is in 4198 01:42:54,229 --> 01:42:54,239 program as soon as their IEP is in 4199 01:42:54,239 --> 01:42:56,470 program as soon as their IEP is in effect. 4200 01:42:56,470 --> 01:42:56,480 effect. 4201 01:42:56,480 --> 01:42:58,070 effect. Theresa is not going to toot her horn on 4202 01:42:58,070 --> 01:42:58,080 Theresa is not going to toot her horn on 4203 01:42:58,080 --> 01:42:59,189 Theresa is not going to toot her horn on this, so I'm going to toot it. and we 4204 01:42:59,189 --> 01:42:59,199 this, so I'm going to toot it. and we 4205 01:42:59,199 --> 01:43:00,390 this, so I'm going to toot it. and we were trying to figure out how to put it 4206 01:43:00,390 --> 01:43:00,400 were trying to figure out how to put it 4207 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,149 were trying to figure out how to put it in the slide in a cohesive way and we 4208 01:43:02,149 --> 01:43:02,159 in the slide in a cohesive way and we 4209 01:43:02,159 --> 01:43:04,550 in the slide in a cohesive way and we didn't. But I would say, and she can 4210 01:43:04,550 --> 01:43:04,560 didn't. But I would say, and she can 4211 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:05,590 didn't. But I would say, and she can correct me if I'm wrong, we're also 4212 01:43:05,590 --> 01:43:05,600 correct me if I'm wrong, we're also 4213 01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:09,030 correct me if I'm wrong, we're also seeing a trend that more of our noniep 4214 01:43:09,030 --> 01:43:09,040 seeing a trend that more of our noniep 4215 01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,109 seeing a trend that more of our noniep seats are being filled earlier in the 4216 01:43:11,109 --> 01:43:11,119 seats are being filled earlier in the 4217 01:43:11,119 --> 01:43:13,430 seats are being filled earlier in the year. So, for example, as of now for 4218 01:43:13,430 --> 01:43:13,440 year. So, for example, as of now for 4219 01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:15,030 year. So, for example, as of now for fall, we already have sites that are 4220 01:43:15,030 --> 01:43:15,040 fall, we already have sites that are 4221 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:18,070 fall, we already have sites that are full on the nonie seat side, but we're 4222 01:43:18,070 --> 01:43:18,080 full on the nonie seat side, but we're 4223 01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:19,430 full on the nonie seat side, but we're very mindful of the balance by 4224 01:43:19,430 --> 01:43:19,440 very mindful of the balance by 4225 01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:20,310 very mindful of the balance by classroom. 4226 01:43:20,310 --> 01:43:20,320 classroom. 4227 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:22,709 classroom. Yeah, I I would love to get the data. 4228 01:43:22,709 --> 01:43:22,719 Yeah, I I would love to get the data. 4229 01:43:22,719 --> 01:43:25,350 Yeah, I I would love to get the data. It's I know we were at 42 two years ago 4230 01:43:25,350 --> 01:43:25,360 It's I know we were at 42 two years ago 4231 01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:27,830 It's I know we were at 42 two years ago and somewhere in the mid30s last year. 4232 01:43:27,830 --> 01:43:27,840 and somewhere in the mid30s last year. 4233 01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:29,510 and somewhere in the mid30s last year. So I' I'd love to actually find out what 4234 01:43:29,510 --> 01:43:29,520 So I' I'd love to actually find out what 4235 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,750 So I' I'd love to actually find out what that number is and I'd love uh our 4236 01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:31,760 that number is and I'd love uh our 4237 01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:33,830 that number is and I'd love uh our impact study to explore that pretty 4238 01:43:33,830 --> 01:43:33,840 impact study to explore that pretty 4239 01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,070 impact study to explore that pretty closely uh because I remain concerned 4240 01:43:36,070 --> 01:43:36,080 closely uh because I remain concerned 4241 01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:39,430 closely uh because I remain concerned that we would um get the ratios we want 4242 01:43:39,430 --> 01:43:39,440 that we would um get the ratios we want 4243 01:43:39,440 --> 01:43:41,189 that we would um get the ratios we want in order to serve all the families and 4244 01:43:41,189 --> 01:43:41,199 in order to serve all the families and 4245 01:43:41,199 --> 01:43:43,189 in order to serve all the families and to make the LRE be effective for the 4246 01:43:43,189 --> 01:43:43,199 to make the LRE be effective for the 4247 01:43:43,199 --> 01:43:46,149 to make the LRE be effective for the kids. Um another basic question, how 4248 01:43:46,149 --> 01:43:46,159 kids. Um another basic question, how 4249 01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:48,550 kids. Um another basic question, how many kids do we want in this program and 4250 01:43:48,550 --> 01:43:48,560 many kids do we want in this program and 4251 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:50,870 many kids do we want in this program and what proportion of capacity are we 4252 01:43:50,870 --> 01:43:50,880 what proportion of capacity are we 4253 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:52,709 what proportion of capacity are we currently serving? How many unused seats 4254 01:43:52,709 --> 01:43:52,719 currently serving? How many unused seats 4255 01:43:52,719 --> 01:43:54,550 currently serving? How many unused seats do we have throughout the year or the 4256 01:43:54,550 --> 01:43:54,560 do we have throughout the year or the 4257 01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:58,070 do we have throughout the year or the beginning or the end of the year? 4258 01:43:58,070 --> 01:43:58,080 beginning or the end of the year? 4259 01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:00,470 beginning or the end of the year? Um, we have capacity, again, I'd have to 4260 01:44:00,470 --> 01:44:00,480 Um, we have capacity, again, I'd have to 4261 01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:03,750 Um, we have capacity, again, I'd have to look up the exact, um, but it's a little 4262 01:44:03,750 --> 01:44:03,760 look up the exact, um, but it's a little 4263 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,550 look up the exact, um, but it's a little over a thousand. Um, and so by ending 4264 01:44:06,550 --> 01:44:06,560 over a thousand. Um, and so by ending 4265 01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,830 over a thousand. Um, and so by ending the year at 9:18, um, obviously there's 4266 01:44:09,830 --> 01:44:09,840 the year at 9:18, um, obviously there's 4267 01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,390 the year at 9:18, um, obviously there's still open seats there. However, again, 4268 01:44:12,390 --> 01:44:12,400 still open seats there. However, again, 4269 01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,189 still open seats there. However, again, I will say as students come through 4270 01:44:15,189 --> 01:44:15,199 I will say as students come through 4271 01:44:15,199 --> 01:44:18,229 I will say as students come through Childfind and qualify for programming, 4272 01:44:18,229 --> 01:44:18,239 Childfind and qualify for programming, 4273 01:44:18,239 --> 01:44:21,030 Childfind and qualify for programming, we have to hold seats so that we have a 4274 01:44:21,030 --> 01:44:21,040 we have to hold seats so that we have a 4275 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,590 we have to hold seats so that we have a spot for them. So, even though school is 4276 01:44:23,590 --> 01:44:23,600 spot for them. So, even though school is 4277 01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:26,070 spot for them. So, even though school is out in two weeks, um we still have 4278 01:44:26,070 --> 01:44:26,080 out in two weeks, um we still have 4279 01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,550 out in two weeks, um we still have families who maybe had their IEP last 4280 01:44:28,550 --> 01:44:28,560 families who maybe had their IEP last 4281 01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,950 families who maybe had their IEP last week um and they are starting school. 4282 01:44:30,950 --> 01:44:30,960 week um and they are starting school. 4283 01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,430 week um and they are starting school.

We might still have some IEP 4338 01:45:38,310 --> 01:45:38,320 seats. We might still have some IEP 4339 01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,550 seats. We might still have some IEP seats that are open and that is a site 4340 01:45:40,550 --> 01:45:40,560 seats that are open and that is a site 4341 01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:42,550 seats that are open and that is a site that has just half day programming, not 4342 01:45:42,550 --> 01:45:42,560 that has just half day programming, not 4343 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:45,430 that has just half day programming, not the full day. Um we follow the trend 4344 01:45:45,430 --> 01:45:45,440 the full day. Um we follow the trend 4345 01:45:45,440 --> 01:45:47,270 the full day. Um we follow the trend that we're seeing in the district that 4346 01:45:47,270 --> 01:45:47,280 that we're seeing in the district that 4347 01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:51,030 that we're seeing in the district that our Boulder sites um are struggling to 4348 01:45:51,030 --> 01:45:51,040 our Boulder sites um are struggling to 4349 01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:54,310 our Boulder sites um are struggling to um completely fill all of the seats that 4350 01:45:54,310 --> 01:45:54,320 um completely fill all of the seats that 4351 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:58,470 um completely fill all of the seats that I'll refer to as nonie seats. Um, again, 4352 01:45:58,470 --> 01:45:58,480 I'll refer to as nonie seats. Um, again, 4353 01:45:58,480 --> 01:46:00,229 I'll refer to as nonie seats. Um, again, we 4354 01:46:00,229 --> 01:46:00,239 we 4355 01:46:00,239 --> 01:46:03,109 we the number doesn't go over 50%. Um, but 4356 01:46:03,109 --> 01:46:03,119 the number doesn't go over 50%. Um, but 4357 01:46:03,119 --> 01:46:05,510 the number doesn't go over 50%. Um, but we do still see that there are students 4358 01:46:05,510 --> 01:46:05,520 we do still see that there are students 4359 01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,550 we do still see that there are students with IEPs um that we need to be serving. 4360 01:46:08,550 --> 01:46:08,560 with IEPs um that we need to be serving. 4361 01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,510 with IEPs um that we need to be serving. So, does that answer your question? 4362 01:46:11,510 --> 01:46:11,520 So, does that answer your question? 4363 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:13,669 So, does that answer your question? I think one addition also is um the 4364 01:46:13,669 --> 01:46:13,679 I think one addition also is um the 4365 01:46:13,679 --> 01:46:15,350 I think one addition also is um the early childhood team has done a really 4366 01:46:15,350 --> 01:46:15,360 early childhood team has done a really 4367 01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,109 early childhood team has done a really thoughtful job of mapping out what are 4368 01:46:17,109 --> 01:46:17,119 thoughtful job of mapping out what are 4369 01:46:17,119 --> 01:46:19,189 thoughtful job of mapping out what are the other providers by town and region 4370 01:46:19,189 --> 01:46:19,199 the other providers by town and region 4371 01:46:19,199 --> 01:46:21,990 the other providers by town and region across our district and essentially like 4372 01:46:21,990 --> 01:46:22,000 across our district and essentially like 4373 01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,149 across our district and essentially like what else is available to families. And 4374 01:46:24,149 --> 01:46:24,159 what else is available to families. And 4375 01:46:24,159 --> 01:46:25,669 what else is available to families. And so then it can create some confusing 4376 01:46:25,669 --> 01:46:25,679 so then it can create some confusing 4377 01:46:25,679 --> 01:46:27,109 so then it can create some confusing trends because we may have an area of 4378 01:46:27,109 --> 01:46:27,119 trends because we may have an area of 4379 01:46:27,119 --> 01:46:29,270 trends because we may have an area of the district that doesn't have a large 4380 01:46:29,270 --> 01:46:29,280 the district that doesn't have a large 4381 01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,350 the district that doesn't have a large student population, but because of a 4382 01:46:31,350 --> 01:46:31,360 student population, but because of a 4383 01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,669 student population, but because of a lack of other options, we see an influx 4384 01:46:33,669 --> 01:46:33,679 lack of other options, we see an influx 4385 01:46:33,679 --> 01:46:35,270 lack of other options, we see an influx in demand for our programming or through 4386 01:46:35,270 --> 01:46:35,280 in demand for our programming or through 4387 01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:36,709 in demand for our programming or through word of mouth or whatever. And to 4388 01:46:36,709 --> 01:46:36,719 word of mouth or whatever. And to 4389 01:46:36,719 --> 01:46:38,870 word of mouth or whatever. And to Teresa's point, it changes year to year 4390 01:46:38,870 --> 01:46:38,880 Teresa's point, it changes year to year 4391 01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,470 Teresa's point, it changes year to year based on word on the street, based on 4392 01:46:40,470 --> 01:46:40,480 based on word on the street, based on 4393 01:46:40,480 --> 01:46:41,669 based on word on the street, based on what's happening in a neighboring 4394 01:46:41,669 --> 01:46:41,679 what's happening in a neighboring 4395 01:46:41,679 --> 01:46:43,270 what's happening in a neighboring district, in the preschool they may or 4396 01:46:43,270 --> 01:46:43,280 district, in the preschool they may or 4397 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,270 district, in the preschool they may or may not have. And so we're trying to be 4398 01:46:45,270 --> 01:46:45,280 may not have. And so we're trying to be 4399 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:47,510 may not have. And so we're trying to be constantly nimble in understanding what 4400 01:46:47,510 --> 01:46:47,520 constantly nimble in understanding what 4401 01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,629 constantly nimble in understanding what is the ecosystem that we are working 4402 01:46:50,629 --> 01:46:50,639 is the ecosystem that we are working 4403 01:46:50,639 --> 01:46:53,030 is the ecosystem that we are working within for pre kindergarten and what 4404 01:46:53,030 --> 01:46:53,040 within for pre kindergarten and what 4405 01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,510 within for pre kindergarten and what does that look like by sub area and also 4406 01:46:55,510 --> 01:46:55,520 does that look like by sub area and also 4407 01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:57,430 does that look like by sub area and also monitoring that over time while trying 4408 01:46:57,430 --> 01:46:57,440 monitoring that over time while trying 4409 01:46:57,440 --> 01:46:59,590 monitoring that over time while trying to be really competitive and and getting 4410 01:46:59,590 --> 01:46:59,600 to be really competitive and and getting 4411 01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:01,669 to be really competitive and and getting our word out for families. So it's not a 4412 01:47:01,669 --> 01:47:01,679 our word out for families. So it's not a 4413 01:47:01,679 --> 01:47:02,790 our word out for families. So it's not a straightforward answer to a 4414 01:47:02,790 --> 01:47:02,800 straightforward answer to a 4415 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:04,709 straightforward answer to a straightforward question. 4416 01:47:04,709 --> 01:47:04,719 straightforward question. 4417 01:47:04,719 --> 01:47:07,669 straightforward question.

So, you can't go to the 4552 01:49:36,790 --> 01:49:36,800 bridge care. So, you can't go to the 4553 01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:39,270 bridge care. So, you can't go to the school and enroll, right? You have to go 4554 01:49:39,270 --> 01:49:39,280 school and enroll, right? You have to go 4555 01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:41,030 school and enroll, right? You have to go back to bridge care. and then through 4556 01:49:41,030 --> 01:49:41,040 back to bridge care. and then through 4557 01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,350 back to bridge care. and then through the bridge care that the the early 4558 01:49:43,350 --> 01:49:43,360 the bridge care that the the early 4559 01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:45,590 the bridge care that the the early childhood team is and the liaison are 4560 01:49:45,590 --> 01:49:45,600 childhood team is and the liaison are 4561 01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:47,350 childhood team is and the liaison are the ones that walk a lot of those 4562 01:49:47,350 --> 01:49:47,360 the ones that walk a lot of those 4563 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,990 the ones that walk a lot of those families through that. I I would say 4564 01:49:49,990 --> 01:49:50,000 families through that. I I would say 4565 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:51,990 families through that. I I would say though, Alex, that there is an 4566 01:49:51,990 --> 01:49:52,000 though, Alex, that there is an 4567 01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:56,229 though, Alex, that there is an opportunity and to better connect 4568 01:49:56,229 --> 01:49:56,239 opportunity and to better connect 4569 01:49:56,239 --> 01:49:58,390 opportunity and to better connect um what's happening in early childhood 4570 01:49:58,390 --> 01:49:58,400 um what's happening in early childhood 4571 01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:00,470 um what's happening in early childhood with with what principles are doing in 4572 01:50:00,470 --> 01:50:00,480 with with what principles are doing in 4573 01:50:00,480 --> 01:50:02,950 with with what principles are doing in their schools around unifi universal 4574 01:50:02,950 --> 01:50:02,960 their schools around unifi universal 4575 01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:04,550 their schools around unifi universal improvement planning, unified 4576 01:50:04,550 --> 01:50:04,560 improvement planning, unified 4577 01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:05,910 improvement planning, unified improvement planning. And I think that 4578 01:50:05,910 --> 01:50:05,920 improvement planning. And I think that 4579 01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,229 improvement planning. And I think that some of the legislation that Teresa was 4580 01:50:08,229 --> 01:50:08,239 some of the legislation that Teresa was 4581 01:50:08,239 --> 01:50:10,629 some of the legislation that Teresa was alluding to would actually make that a 4582 01:50:10,629 --> 01:50:10,639 alluding to would actually make that a 4583 01:50:10,639 --> 01:50:12,870 alluding to would actually make that a requirement because you don't want it to 4584 01:50:12,870 --> 01:50:12,880 requirement because you don't want it to 4585 01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:14,870 requirement because you don't want it to be this disconnected thing. You really 4586 01:50:14,870 --> 01:50:14,880 be this disconnected thing. You really 4587 01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:18,070 be this disconnected thing. You really want, you know, from 3 to four years old 4588 01:50:18,070 --> 01:50:18,080 want, you know, from 3 to four years old 4589 01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:20,390 want, you know, from 3 to four years old all the way up through college or 4590 01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:20,400 all the way up through college or 4591 01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,030 all the way up through college or industry certification or you know grad 4592 01:50:23,030 --> 01:50:23,040 industry certification or you know grad 4593 01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:27,109 industry certification or you know grad plus completion. Um and so uh you know I 4594 01:50:27,109 --> 01:50:27,119 plus completion. Um and so uh you know I 4595 01:50:27,119 --> 01:50:29,590 plus completion. Um and so uh you know I I think the enrollment piece may is is 4596 01:50:29,590 --> 01:50:29,600 I think the enrollment piece may is is 4597 01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,109 I think the enrollment piece may is is difficult right? you know, the 4598 01:50:31,109 --> 01:50:31,119 difficult right? you know, the 4599 01:50:31,119 --> 01:50:33,189 difficult right? you know, the principles don't manage the enrollment 4600 01:50:33,189 --> 01:50:33,199 principles don't manage the enrollment 4601 01:50:33,199 --> 01:50:35,590 principles don't manage the enrollment because there's this calculus that 4602 01:50:35,590 --> 01:50:35,600 because there's this calculus that 4603 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:38,070 because there's this calculus that Teresa over the years of her experience 4604 01:50:38,070 --> 01:50:38,080 Teresa over the years of her experience 4605 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,030 Teresa over the years of her experience is really good at, which is if you 4606 01:50:41,030 --> 01:50:41,040 is really good at, which is if you 4607 01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:43,270 is really good at, which is if you overfill your seats and then you have 4608 01:50:43,270 --> 01:50:43,280 overfill your seats and then you have 4609 01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,910 overfill your seats and then you have students with IEP show up and you don't 4610 01:50:45,910 --> 01:50:45,920 students with IEP show up and you don't 4611 01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,550 students with IEP show up and you don't have room, then you're you're what 4612 01:50:48,550 --> 01:50:48,560 have room, then you're you're what 4613 01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,350 have room, then you're you're what you're going to add another section and 4614 01:50:51,350 --> 01:50:51,360 you're going to add another section and 4615 01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:53,590 you're going to add another section and then move kids from programs to another 4616 01:50:53,590 --> 01:50:53,600 then move kids from programs to another 4617 01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:54,950 then move kids from programs to another program. I mean, I just that the 4618 01:50:54,950 --> 01:50:54,960 program. I mean, I just that the 4619 01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,350 program. I mean, I just that the logistics around is kind of crazy. So, 4620 01:50:57,350 --> 01:50:57,360 logistics around is kind of crazy. So, 4621 01:50:57,360 --> 01:50:58,950 logistics around is kind of crazy. So, um I do think that there's opportunities 4622 01:50:58,950 --> 01:50:58,960 um I do think that there's opportunities 4623 01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:01,669 um I do think that there's opportunities to do a better job of connecting and I 4624 01:51:01,669 --> 01:51:01,679 to do a better job of connecting and I 4625 01:51:01,679 --> 01:51:03,510 to do a better job of connecting and I do think over time, you know, the work 4626 01:51:03,510 --> 01:51:03,520 do think over time, you know, the work 4627 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,590 do think over time, you know, the work that's happening um in early childhood 4628 01:51:05,590 --> 01:51:05,600 that's happening um in early childhood 4629 01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:07,189 that's happening um in early childhood and and making sure that our principles 4630 01:51:07,189 --> 01:51:07,199 and and making sure that our principles 4631 01:51:07,199 --> 01:51:08,709 and and making sure that our principles know and understand what highquality 4632 01:51:08,709 --> 01:51:08,719 know and understand what highquality 4633 01:51:08,719 --> 01:51:10,310 know and understand what highquality early childhood education looks like and 4634 01:51:10,310 --> 01:51:10,320 early childhood education looks like and 4635 01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:13,030 early childhood education looks like and how it connects to curriculum is um is 4636 01:51:13,030 --> 01:51:13,040 how it connects to curriculum is um is 4637 01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:16,470 how it connects to curriculum is um is an opportunity um for growth, but the 4638 01:51:16,470 --> 01:51:16,480 an opportunity um for growth, but the 4639 01:51:16,480 --> 01:51:19,109 an opportunity um for growth, but the enrollment uh the enrollment piece I 4640 01:51:19,109 --> 01:51:19,119 enrollment uh the enrollment piece I 4641 01:51:19,119 --> 01:51:21,510 enrollment uh the enrollment piece I think is has traditionally 4642 01:51:21,510 --> 01:51:21,520 think is has traditionally 4643 01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:23,669 think is has traditionally been um been been the tough part of 4644 01:51:23,669 --> 01:51:23,679 been um been been the tough part of 4645 01:51:23,679 --> 01:51:25,430 been um been been the tough part of that. Teresa, Emma, do you want to add 4646 01:51:25,430 --> 01:51:25,440 that. Teresa, Emma, do you want to add 4647 01:51:25,440 --> 01:51:27,430 that. Teresa, Emma, do you want to add anything to that? 4648 01:51:27,430 --> 01:51:27,440 anything to that? 4649 01:51:27,440 --> 01:51:29,910 anything to that? Um, I would just say yes. The enrollment 4650 01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:29,920 Um, I would just say yes. The enrollment 4651 01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:33,030 Um, I would just say yes. The enrollment we have, um, preschool at 24 of the 4652 01:51:33,030 --> 01:51:33,040 we have, um, preschool at 24 of the 4653 01:51:33,040 --> 01:51:34,310 we have, um, preschool at 24 of the elementary sites, so they're not 4654 01:51:34,310 --> 01:51:34,320 elementary sites, so they're not 4655 01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,870 elementary sites, so they're not everywhere. Um, so there are students 4656 01:51:36,870 --> 01:51:36,880 everywhere. Um, so there are students 4657 01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,350 everywhere. Um, so there are students at, you know, a school where they may 4658 01:51:39,350 --> 01:51:39,360 at, you know, a school where they may 4659 01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:42,070 at, you know, a school where they may not be going there for kindergarten and 4660 01:51:42,070 --> 01:51:42,080 not be going there for kindergarten and 4661 01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:45,669 not be going there for kindergarten and up. Um, principles are the evaluators of 4662 01:51:45,669 --> 01:51:45,679 up. Um, principles are the evaluators of 4663 01:51:45,679 --> 01:51:47,910 up. Um, principles are the evaluators of the preschool staff. Um, so, you know, 4664 01:51:47,910 --> 01:51:47,920 the preschool staff. Um, so, you know, 4665 01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:50,070 the preschool staff. Um, so, you know, the preschool staff definitely is a part 4666 01:51:50,070 --> 01:51:50,080 the preschool staff definitely is a part 4667 01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:52,950 the preschool staff definitely is a part of that school. Um I think also what 4668 01:51:52,950 --> 01:51:52,960 of that school. Um I think also what 4669 01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,470 of that school.

So, we know who they are, so we should be able to 4906 01:56:10,310 --> 01:56:10,320 who they are, so we should be able to 4907 01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:11,510 who they are, so we should be able to figure out where they end up the next 4908 01:56:11,510 --> 01:56:11,520 figure out where they end up the next 4909 01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:13,030 figure out where they end up the next year if we've got them somewhere in the 4910 01:56:13,030 --> 01:56:13,040 year if we've got them somewhere in the 4911 01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:17,350 year if we've got them somewhere in the system. Um, I'm also interested, this is 4912 01:56:17,350 --> 01:56:17,360 system. Um, I'm also interested, this is 4913 01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:19,750 system. Um, I'm also interested, this is sort of a two-part question. I'm excited 4914 01:56:19,750 --> 01:56:19,760 sort of a two-part question. I'm excited 4915 01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,070 sort of a two-part question. I'm excited to integrate them into our larger 4916 01:56:22,070 --> 01:56:22,080 to integrate them into our larger 4917 01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,550 to integrate them into our larger intellectual exercise, but I'm super 4918 01:56:24,550 --> 01:56:24,560 intellectual exercise, but I'm super 4919 01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:26,790 intellectual exercise, but I'm super anxious about that because of the track 4920 01:56:26,790 --> 01:56:26,800 anxious about that because of the track 4921 01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:29,750 anxious about that because of the track record of K12 systems of not doing 4922 01:56:29,750 --> 01:56:29,760 record of K12 systems of not doing 4923 01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:31,350 record of K12 systems of not doing developmentally appropriate stuff with 4924 01:56:31,350 --> 01:56:31,360 developmentally appropriate stuff with 4925 01:56:31,360 --> 01:56:33,030 developmentally appropriate stuff with little kids once they're on the hook for 4926 01:56:33,030 --> 01:56:33,040 little kids once they're on the hook for 4927 01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:34,629 little kids once they're on the hook for it. And it all turns into how do we 4928 01:56:34,629 --> 01:56:34,639 it. And it all turns into how do we 4929 01:56:34,639 --> 01:56:36,709 it. And it all turns into how do we increase third grade reading scores, not 4930 01:56:36,709 --> 01:56:36,719 increase third grade reading scores, not 4931 01:56:36,719 --> 01:56:38,550 increase third grade reading scores, not how do we give four year olds 4932 01:56:38,550 --> 01:56:38,560 how do we give four year olds 4933 01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:42,070 how do we give four year olds developmentally appropriate play. Um, so 4934 01:56:42,070 --> 01:56:42,080 developmentally appropriate play. Um, so 4935 01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:44,709 developmentally appropriate play. Um, so I that's why I it's not so much making 4936 01:56:44,709 --> 01:56:44,719 I that's why I it's not so much making 4937 01:56:44,719 --> 01:56:46,550 I that's why I it's not so much making sure that and I look forward to like the 4938 01:56:46,550 --> 01:56:46,560 sure that and I look forward to like the 4939 01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:48,709 sure that and I look forward to like the UPK being, you know, part of that and 4940 01:56:48,709 --> 01:56:48,719 UPK being, you know, part of that and 4941 01:56:48,719 --> 01:56:50,950 UPK being, you know, part of that and integrating the preschools into it and 4942 01:56:50,950 --> 01:56:50,960 integrating the preschools into it and 4943 01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:53,510 integrating the preschools into it and having discussions about the curriculum 4944 01:56:53,510 --> 01:56:53,520 having discussions about the curriculum 4945 01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:55,589 having discussions about the curriculum and the ongoing oversight. But my 4946 01:56:55,589 --> 01:56:55,599 and the ongoing oversight. But my 4947 01:56:55,599 --> 01:56:57,189 and the ongoing oversight. But my greatest concern is that's going to lead 4948 01:56:57,189 --> 01:56:57,199 greatest concern is that's going to lead 4949 01:56:57,199 --> 01:56:59,669 greatest concern is that's going to lead to creeping um developmentally 4950 01:56:59,669 --> 01:56:59,679 to creeping um developmentally 4951 01:56:59,679 --> 01:57:01,750 to creeping um developmentally inappropriate uh practices or 4952 01:57:01,750 --> 01:57:01,760 inappropriate uh practices or 4953 01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:03,589 inappropriate uh practices or expectations or the system will be built 4954 01:57:03,589 --> 01:57:03,599 expectations or the system will be built 4955 01:57:03,599 --> 01:57:05,350 expectations or the system will be built that way. and my reading of the research 4956 01:57:05,350 --> 01:57:05,360 that way. and my reading of the research 4957 01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:07,270 that way. and my reading of the research from other states advancing universal 4958 01:57:07,270 --> 01:57:07,280 from other states advancing universal 4959 01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:09,350 from other states advancing universal preschool is that's often like the thing 4960 01:57:09,350 --> 01:57:09,360 preschool is that's often like the thing 4961 01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:12,229 preschool is that's often like the thing that makes it go most poorly. So, I'm 4962 01:57:12,229 --> 01:57:12,239 that makes it go most poorly. So, I'm 4963 01:57:12,239 --> 01:57:14,790 that makes it go most poorly. So, I'm interested in a thoughtful integration 4964 01:57:14,790 --> 01:57:14,800 interested in a thoughtful integration 4965 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,510 interested in a thoughtful integration that's really focused on developmentally 4966 01:57:17,510 --> 01:57:17,520 that's really focused on developmentally 4967 01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:20,390 that's really focused on developmentally appropriate uh care for the little kids, 4968 01:57:20,390 --> 01:57:20,400 appropriate uh care for the little kids, 4969 01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:22,390 appropriate uh care for the little kids, but that also tracks it and educates 4970 01:57:22,390 --> 01:57:22,400 but that also tracks it and educates 4971 01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:24,149 but that also tracks it and educates like the school leaders so they know not 4972 01:57:24,149 --> 01:57:24,159 like the school leaders so they know not 4973 01:57:24,159 --> 01:57:26,149 like the school leaders so they know not to pressure them to like sit down more 4974 01:57:26,149 --> 01:57:26,159 to pressure them to like sit down more 4975 01:57:26,159 --> 01:57:28,390 to pressure them to like sit down more and let's talk about colors, you know. 4976 01:57:28,390 --> 01:57:28,400 and let's talk about colors, you know. 4977 01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:30,390 and let's talk about colors, you know.

So 5078 01:59:13,030 --> 01:59:13,040 way for students of certain ages? So 5079 01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:14,790 way for students of certain ages? So that rather than your description of 5080 01:59:14,790 --> 01:59:14,800 that rather than your description of 5081 01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:15,990 that rather than your description of we're going to now learn to read when 5082 01:59:15,990 --> 01:59:16,000 we're going to now learn to read when 5083 01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:17,910 we're going to now learn to read when we're three, it's actually like what 5084 01:59:17,910 --> 01:59:17,920 we're three, it's actually like what 5085 01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:19,830 we're three, it's actually like what does play-based learning look like up 5086 01:59:19,830 --> 01:59:19,840 does play-based learning look like up 5087 01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:21,589 does play-based learning look like up through elementary, but in a way that 5088 01:59:21,589 --> 01:59:21,599 through elementary, but in a way that 5089 01:59:21,599 --> 01:59:23,189 through elementary, but in a way that doesn't compromise the rigor that we 5090 01:59:23,189 --> 01:59:23,199 doesn't compromise the rigor that we 5091 01:59:23,199 --> 01:59:24,390 doesn't compromise the rigor that we want out of standards, but is 5092 01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:24,400 want out of standards, but is 5093 01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:26,470 want out of standards, but is developmentally appropriate for kids. So 5094 01:59:26,470 --> 01:59:26,480 developmentally appropriate for kids. So 5095 01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:27,830 developmentally appropriate for kids. So we've been doing some learning on that 5096 01:59:27,830 --> 01:59:27,840 we've been doing some learning on that 5097 01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:29,830 we've been doing some learning on that as we think about what resources do we 5098 01:59:29,830 --> 01:59:29,840 as we think about what resources do we 5099 01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:31,430 as we think about what resources do we have in place and how do we vertically 5100 01:59:31,430 --> 01:59:31,440 have in place and how do we vertically 5101 01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:32,950 have in place and how do we vertically align them thoughtfully and there are 5102 01:59:32,950 --> 01:59:32,960 align them thoughtfully and there are 5103 01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:34,550 align them thoughtfully and there are some real inroads with our strategic 5104 01:59:34,550 --> 01:59:34,560 some real inroads with our strategic 5105 01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:36,390 some real inroads with our strategic plan over time. So we're starting to 5106 01:59:36,390 --> 01:59:36,400 plan over time. So we're starting to 5107 01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:37,990 plan over time. So we're starting to think about how do we do that work and 5108 01:59:37,990 --> 01:59:38,000 think about how do we do that work and 5109 01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,430 think about how do we do that work and do some learning here in this building 5110 01:59:39,430 --> 01:59:39,440 do some learning here in this building 5111 01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:40,950 do some learning here in this building across teams so that when we're 5112 01:59:40,950 --> 01:59:40,960 across teams so that when we're 5113 01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:42,550 across teams so that when we're supporting schools we're doing it in a 5114 01:59:42,550 --> 01:59:42,560 supporting schools we're doing it in a 5115 01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:44,709 supporting schools we're doing it in a way that helps facilitate that sort of 5116 01:59:44,709 --> 01:59:44,719 way that helps facilitate that sort of 5117 01:59:44,719 --> 01:59:46,310 way that helps facilitate that sort of environment and understanding. So it's 5118 01:59:46,310 --> 01:59:46,320 environment and understanding. So it's 5119 01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:47,669 environment and understanding. So it's really exciting more to come and then 5120 01:59:47,669 --> 01:59:47,679 really exciting more to come and then 5121 01:59:47,679 --> 01:59:49,109 really exciting more to come and then I'll let Teresa talk about Colorado 5122 01:59:49,109 --> 01:59:49,119 I'll let Teresa talk about Colorado 5123 01:59:49,119 --> 01:59:51,910 I'll let Teresa talk about Colorado Shines. 5124 01:59:51,910 --> 01:59:51,920 Shines. 5125 01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:54,229 Shines. Um yes and I guess just one more thing 5126 01:59:54,229 --> 01:59:54,239 Um yes and I guess just one more thing 5127 01:59:54,239 --> 01:59:56,870 Um yes and I guess just one more thing to add just with the um the training and 5128 01:59:56,870 --> 01:59:56,880 to add just with the um the training and 5129 01:59:56,880 --> 02:00:00,149 to add just with the um the training and the support that we are um giving to 5130 02:00:00,149 --> 02:00:00,159 the support that we are um giving to 5131 02:00:00,159 --> 02:00:02,629 the support that we are um giving to principles is really understanding that 5132 02:00:02,629 --> 02:00:02,639 principles is really understanding that 5133 02:00:02,639 --> 02:00:05,589 principles is really understanding that it's not that you have rigor or you have 5134 02:00:05,589 --> 02:00:05,599 it's not that you have rigor or you have 5135 02:00:05,599 --> 02:00:07,589 it's not that you have rigor or you have developmentally appropriate, right? Like 5136 02:00:07,589 --> 02:00:07,599 developmentally appropriate, right? Like 5137 02:00:07,599 --> 02:00:09,910 developmentally appropriate, right? Like we can have both and we can marry them 5138 02:00:09,910 --> 02:00:09,920 we can have both and we can marry them 5139 02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:12,709 we can have both and we can marry them and rigor isn't a bad word in preschool 5140 02:00:12,709 --> 02:00:12,719 and rigor isn't a bad word in preschool 5141 02:00:12,719 --> 02:00:14,470 and rigor isn't a bad word in preschool and early childhood in a high quality 5142 02:00:14,470 --> 02:00:14,480 and early childhood in a high quality 5143 02:00:14,480 --> 02:00:17,109 and early childhood in a high quality environment. So what does that look like 5144 02:00:17,109 --> 02:00:17,119 environment. So what does that look like 5145 02:00:17,119 --> 02:00:20,390 environment. So what does that look like in our environments? We need to have at 5146 02:00:20,390 --> 02:00:20,400 in our environments? We need to have at 5147 02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:22,870 in our environments? We need to have at least an hour of intentional play in our 5148 02:00:22,870 --> 02:00:22,880 least an hour of intentional play in our 5149 02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:24,629 least an hour of intentional play in our preschool classrooms in a three-hour 5150 02:00:24,629 --> 02:00:24,639 preschool classrooms in a three-hour 5151 02:00:24,639 --> 02:00:26,790 preschool classrooms in a three-hour program. That isn't just throwing 5152 02:00:26,790 --> 02:00:26,800 program. That isn't just throwing 5153 02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:29,030 program. That isn't just throwing materials out there and just hoping that 5154 02:00:29,030 --> 02:00:29,040 materials out there and just hoping that 5155 02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:30,390 materials out there and just hoping that things happen. It's being really 5156 02:00:30,390 --> 02:00:30,400 things happen. It's being really 5157 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:32,709 things happen. It's being really thoughtful of what standards are we 5158 02:00:32,709 --> 02:00:32,719 thoughtful of what standards are we 5159 02:00:32,719 --> 02:00:34,950 thoughtful of what standards are we addressing this week? What are we 5160 02:00:34,950 --> 02:00:34,960 addressing this week? What are we 5161 02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:36,870 addressing this week? What are we putting in those centers that are going 5162 02:00:36,870 --> 02:00:36,880 putting in those centers that are going 5163 02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:39,589 putting in those centers that are going to help support that? And so really 5164 02:00:39,589 --> 02:00:39,599 to help support that? And so really 5165 02:00:39,599 --> 02:00:42,310 to help support that? And so really being thoughtful as um the teacher of 5166 02:00:42,310 --> 02:00:42,320 being thoughtful as um the teacher of 5167 02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:44,470 being thoughtful as um the teacher of setting up that environment and knowing 5168 02:00:44,470 --> 02:00:44,480 setting up that environment and knowing 5169 02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:46,149 setting up that environment and knowing why are we putting these things out in 5170 02:00:46,149 --> 02:00:46,159 why are we putting these things out in 5171 02:00:46,159 --> 02:00:48,070 why are we putting these things out in the environment? What are our goals for 5172 02:00:48,070 --> 02:00:48,080 the environment? What are our goals for 5173 02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:50,229 the environment? What are our goals for the students to learn with them in a 5174 02:00:50,229 --> 02:00:50,239 the students to learn with them in a 5175 02:00:50,239 --> 02:00:53,270 the students to learn with them in a playful way and child directed way not 5176 02:00:53,270 --> 02:00:53,280 playful way and child directed way not 5177 02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:55,589 playful way and child directed way not sit and get from the teacher and you 5178 02:00:55,589 --> 02:00:55,599 sit and get from the teacher and you 5179 02:00:55,599 --> 02:00:57,189 sit and get from the teacher and you know kind of do some of that wrote 5180 02:00:57,189 --> 02:00:57,199 know kind of do some of that wrote 5181 02:00:57,199 --> 02:00:59,430 know kind of do some of that wrote learning um because you're right that's 5182 02:00:59,430 --> 02:00:59,440 learning um because you're right that's 5183 02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:02,070 learning um because you're right that's not where we're going to see um the 5184 02:01:02,070 --> 02:01:02,080 not where we're going to see um the 5185 02:01:02,080 --> 02:01:05,589 not where we're going to see um the supportive um instruction for students 5186 02:01:05,589 --> 02:01:05,599 supportive um instruction for students 5187 02:01:05,599 --> 02:01:08,550 supportive um instruction for students as far as Colorado shines rating um 5188 02:01:08,550 --> 02:01:08,560 as far as Colorado shines rating um 5189 02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:11,030 as far as Colorado shines rating um that's that second um slide that I 5190 02:01:11,030 --> 02:01:11,040 that's that second um slide that I 5191 02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:13,350 that's that second um slide that I showed you about um aligning with the 5192 02:01:13,350 --> 02:01:13,360 showed you about um aligning with the 5193 02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:15,430 showed you about um aligning with the unified um improvement plan and so 5194 02:01:15,430 --> 02:01:15,440 unified um improvement plan and so 5195 02:01:15,440 --> 02:01:18,550 unified um improvement plan and so forth. So there is something called an 5196 02:01:18,550 --> 02:01:18,560 forth. So there is something called an 5197 02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:21,350 forth. So there is something called an alternative pathway. So as a school 5198 02:01:21,350 --> 02:01:21,360 alternative pathway. So as a school 5199 02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,510 alternative pathway. So as a school district, I'm very proud. We were the 5200 02:01:23,510 --> 02:01:23,520 district, I'm very proud. We were the 5201 02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,430 district, I'm very proud. We were the very first school district to go through 5202 02:01:25,430 --> 02:01:25,440 very first school district to go through 5203 02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:27,750 very first school district to go through the work to do an alternative pathway. 5204 02:01:27,750 --> 02:01:27,760 the work to do an alternative pathway. 5205 02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:30,870 the work to do an alternative pathway. Um we originally were like well is one 5206 02:01:30,870 --> 02:01:30,880 Um we originally were like well is one 5207 02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:33,750 Um we originally were like well is one is one is fun. Like let's just stay a 5208 02:01:33,750 --> 02:01:33,760 is one is fun. Like let's just stay a 5209 02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:36,149 is one is fun. Like let's just stay a one because it's a lot of work. Um but 5210 02:01:36,149 --> 02:01:36,159 one because it's a lot of work. Um but 5211 02:01:36,159 --> 02:01:37,589 one because it's a lot of work. Um but we decided no, we're going to go through 5212 02:01:37,589 --> 02:01:37,599 we decided no, we're going to go through 5213 02:01:37,599 --> 02:01:39,270 we decided no, we're going to go through the work. We want to do that. We're a 5214 02:01:39,270 --> 02:01:39,280 the work. We want to do that. We're a 5215 02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:41,750 the work. We want to do that. We're a leader um in the state. So we were the 5216 02:01:41,750 --> 02:01:41,760 leader um in the state. So we were the 5217 02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:43,910 leader um in the state. So we were the first to go through that um six years 5218 02:01:43,910 --> 02:01:43,920 first to go through that um six years 5219 02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:47,189 first to go through that um six years ago I think. And so we just renewed it. 5220 02:01:47,189 --> 02:01:47,199 ago I think. And so we just renewed it. 5221 02:01:47,199 --> 02:01:49,750 ago I think. And so we just renewed it. Um and the alternative pathway, what it 5222 02:01:49,750 --> 02:01:49,760 Um and the alternative pathway, what it 5223 02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:51,589 Um and the alternative pathway, what it looks like right now is basically 5224 02:01:51,589 --> 02:01:51,599 looks like right now is basically 5225 02:01:51,599 --> 02:01:55,350 looks like right now is basically submitting seriously like hundreds of 5226 02:01:55,350 --> 02:01:55,360 submitting seriously like hundreds of 5227 02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:59,270 submitting seriously like hundreds of pieces of paper um documenting all the 5228 02:01:59,270 --> 02:01:59,280 pieces of paper um documenting all the 5229 02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:01,430 pieces of paper um documenting all the things that we do. Um and many of those 5230 02:02:01,430 --> 02:02:01,440 things that we do. Um and many of those 5231 02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:05,510 things that we do. Um and many of those things are required um from CDE. And so 5232 02:02:05,510 --> 02:02:05,520 things are required um from CDE. And so 5233 02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:08,390 things are required um from CDE. And so they are revamping the entire Colorado 5234 02:02:08,390 --> 02:02:08,400 they are revamping the entire Colorado 5235 02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:11,510 they are revamping the entire Colorado Shines quality rating. And so one of the 5236 02:02:11,510 --> 02:02:11,520 Shines quality rating. And so one of the 5237 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,189 Shines quality rating.

Now, 5254 02:02:31,350 --> 02:02:31,360 through 2029. Now, 5255 02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:32,709 through 2029. Now, Teresa, can you explain why we're not 5256 02:02:32,709 --> 02:02:32,719 Teresa, can you explain why we're not 5257 02:02:32,719 --> 02:02:34,149 Teresa, can you explain why we're not level five and what we would have to do 5258 02:02:34,149 --> 02:02:34,159 level five and what we would have to do 5259 02:02:34,159 --> 02:02:35,109 level five and what we would have to do to be level five? 5260 02:02:35,109 --> 02:02:35,119 to be level five? 5261 02:02:35,119 --> 02:02:39,030 to be level five? Yes. So, five is the highest rating. Um, 5262 02:02:39,030 --> 02:02:39,040 Yes. So, five is the highest rating. Um, 5263 02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:41,189 Yes. So, five is the highest rating. Um, and so the highest level that you can 5264 02:02:41,189 --> 02:02:41,199 and so the highest level that you can 5265 02:02:41,199 --> 02:02:43,750 and so the highest level that you can get in an alternative pathway is a level 5266 02:02:43,750 --> 02:02:43,760 get in an alternative pathway is a level 5267 02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,790 get in an alternative pathway is a level four. And so, if we were to do the level 5268 02:02:46,790 --> 02:02:46,800 four. And so, if we were to do the level 5269 02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:50,950 four. And so, if we were to do the level five, um, the administrative burden, the 5270 02:02:50,950 --> 02:02:50,960 five, um, the administrative burden, the 5271 02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:53,910 five, um, the administrative burden, the cost really just outweighs going from a 5272 02:02:53,910 --> 02:02:53,920 cost really just outweighs going from a 5273 02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:56,149 cost really just outweighs going from a four to a five 5274 02:02:56,149 --> 02:02:56,159 four to a five 5275 02:02:56,159 --> 02:02:57,669 four to a five because you have to do it by school, 5276 02:02:57,669 --> 02:02:57,679 because you have to do it by school, 5277 02:02:57,679 --> 02:02:58,149 because you have to do it by school, right? 5278 02:02:58,149 --> 02:02:58,159 right? 5279 02:02:58,159 --> 02:03:00,390 right? And we have to do it by school. So, 5280 02:03:00,390 --> 02:03:00,400 And we have to do it by school. So, 5281 02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:02,870 And we have to do it by school. So, correct.

I looked today at the ratings 5438 02:06:04,629 --> 02:06:04,639 to this. I looked today at the ratings 5439 02:06:04,639 --> 02:06:06,550 to this. I looked today at the ratings and just about every private provider 5440 02:06:06,550 --> 02:06:06,560 and just about every private provider 5441 02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:08,310 and just about every private provider within striking distance of Boulder is a 5442 02:06:08,310 --> 02:06:08,320 within striking distance of Boulder is a 5443 02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:10,790 within striking distance of Boulder is a one or a two on the five-star system and 5444 02:06:10,790 --> 02:06:10,800 one or a two on the five-star system and 5445 02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:12,950 one or a two on the five-star system and we are a four because of administrative 5446 02:06:12,950 --> 02:06:12,960 we are a four because of administrative 5447 02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:15,350 we are a four because of administrative decisions we've made to not bother to 5448 02:06:15,350 --> 02:06:15,360 decisions we've made to not bother to 5449 02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:16,870 decisions we've made to not bother to try to get a five, but we probably could 5450 02:06:16,870 --> 02:06:16,880 try to get a five, but we probably could 5451 02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:18,950 try to get a five, but we probably could if our individual schools put the work 5452 02:06:18,950 --> 02:06:18,960 if our individual schools put the work 5453 02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:20,629 if our individual schools put the work in.

The rationale for this includes an effort to 6106 02:25:14,790 --> 02:25:14,800 rationale for this includes an effort to 6107 02:25:14,800 --> 02:25:16,070 rationale for this includes an effort to increase staff attendance on 6108 02:25:16,070 --> 02:25:16,080 increase staff attendance on 6109 02:25:16,080 --> 02:25:18,710 increase staff attendance on professional learning days as these 6110 02:25:18,710 --> 02:25:18,720 professional learning days as these 6111 02:25:18,720 --> 02:25:20,309 professional learning days as these immediately after winter break 6112 02:25:20,309 --> 02:25:20,319 immediately after winter break 6113 02:25:20,319 --> 02:25:22,230 immediately after winter break historically are our highest attended 6114 02:25:22,230 --> 02:25:22,240 historically are our highest attended 6115 02:25:22,240 --> 02:25:24,070 historically are our highest attended professional learning days in the second 6116 02:25:24,070 --> 02:25:24,080 professional learning days in the second 6117 02:25:24,080 --> 02:25:26,630 professional learning days in the second semester. Moving a professional learning 6118 02:25:26,630 --> 02:25:26,640 semester. Moving a professional learning 6119 02:25:26,640 --> 02:25:29,349 semester. Moving a professional learning day in this manner eliminates a 6120 02:25:29,349 --> 02:25:29,359 day in this manner eliminates a 6121 02:25:29,359 --> 02:25:31,990 day in this manner eliminates a three-day week as I uh talked about just 6122 02:25:31,990 --> 02:25:32,000 three-day week as I uh talked about just 6123 02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:34,870 three-day week as I uh talked about just a moment ago and a three-day week so 6124 02:25:34,870 --> 02:25:34,880 a moment ago and a three-day week so 6125 02:25:34,880 --> 02:25:37,030 a moment ago and a three-day week so soon after winter break and therefore 6126 02:25:37,030 --> 02:25:37,040 soon after winter break and therefore 6127 02:25:37,040 --> 02:25:39,110 soon after winter break and therefore with this change second semester would 6128 02:25:39,110 --> 02:25:39,120 with this change second semester would 6129 02:25:39,120 --> 02:25:42,950 with this change second semester would begin on January 5th. 6130 02:25:42,950 --> 02:25:42,960 begin on January 5th. 6131 02:25:42,960 --> 02:25:45,990 begin on January 5th. Next uh the there was the adjustment 6132 02:25:45,990 --> 02:25:46,000 Next uh the there was the adjustment 6133 02:25:46,000 --> 02:25:48,950 Next uh the there was the adjustment made moving the February 27 22nd 6134 02:25:48,950 --> 02:25:48,960 made moving the February 27 22nd 6135 02:25:48,960 --> 02:25:51,670 made moving the February 27 22nd professional learning day to September 6136 02:25:51,670 --> 02:25:51,680 professional learning day to September 6137 02:25:51,680 --> 02:25:54,309 professional learning day to September 7th. This change allows for follow-up to 6138 02:25:54,309 --> 02:25:54,319 7th. This change allows for follow-up to 6139 02:25:54,319 --> 02:25:55,590 7th. This change allows for follow-up to the August professional learning 6140 02:25:55,590 --> 02:25:55,600 the August professional learning 6141 02:25:55,600 --> 02:25:57,750 the August professional learning assignment in September, which made 6142 02:25:57,750 --> 02:25:57,760 assignment in September, which made 6143 02:25:57,760 --> 02:25:59,670 assignment in September, which made sense to many stakeholders as a good 6144 02:25:59,670 --> 02:25:59,680 sense to many stakeholders as a good 6145 02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:01,429 sense to many stakeholders as a good move given the implementation of so many 6146 02:26:01,429 --> 02:26:01,439 move given the implementation of so many 6147 02:26:01,439 --> 02:26:05,670 move given the implementation of so many curricular materials.

Yeah, that that's that's a great 6400 02:31:35,030 --> 02:31:35,040 Yeah, that that's that's a great 6401 02:31:35,040 --> 02:31:37,270 Yeah, that that's that's a great question. So a professional learning day 6402 02:31:37,270 --> 02:31:37,280 question. So a professional learning day 6403 02:31:37,280 --> 02:31:39,990 question. So a professional learning day is when teachers engage in learning 6404 02:31:39,990 --> 02:31:40,000 is when teachers engage in learning 6405 02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:42,550 is when teachers engage in learning specific to the continued development of 6406 02:31:42,550 --> 02:31:42,560 specific to the continued development of 6407 02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:44,630 specific to the continued development of their craft either at the building level 6408 02:31:44,630 --> 02:31:44,640 their craft either at the building level 6409 02:31:44,640 --> 02:31:45,990 their craft either at the building level or in professional learning 6410 02:31:45,990 --> 02:31:46,000 or in professional learning 6411 02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:48,309 or in professional learning opportunities provided by the district. 6412 02:31:48,309 --> 02:31:48,319 opportunities provided by the district. 6413 02:31:48,319 --> 02:31:51,429 opportunities provided by the district. The uh negotiated agreement for our unit 6414 02:31:51,429 --> 02:31:51,439 The uh negotiated agreement for our unit 6415 02:31:51,439 --> 02:31:53,670 The uh negotiated agreement for our unit B employees does stipulate that there 6416 02:31:53,670 --> 02:31:53,680 B employees does stipulate that there 6417 02:31:53,680 --> 02:31:55,990 B employees does stipulate that there are a number five and a half I believe 6418 02:31:55,990 --> 02:31:56,000 are a number five and a half I believe 6419 02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:58,870 are a number five and a half I believe of teacher work days that teachers 6420 02:31:58,870 --> 02:31:58,880 of teacher work days that teachers 6421 02:31:58,880 --> 02:32:02,550 of teacher work days that teachers engage in which is purely for their own 6422 02:32:02,550 --> 02:32:02,560 engage in which is purely for their own 6423 02:32:02,560 --> 02:32:05,590 engage in which is purely for their own planning and grading. Now what we have 6424 02:32:05,590 --> 02:32:05,600 planning and grading. Now what we have 6425 02:32:05,600 --> 02:32:09,830 planning and grading. Now what we have done is maximized the organized either 6426 02:32:09,830 --> 02:32:09,840 done is maximized the organized either 6427 02:32:09,840 --> 02:32:12,150 done is maximized the organized either building le or districtled professional 6428 02:32:12,150 --> 02:32:12,160 building le or districtled professional 6429 02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:15,270 building le or districtled professional learning days in alignment with the data 6430 02:32:15,270 --> 02:32:15,280 learning days in alignment with the data 6431 02:32:15,280 --> 02:32:18,550 learning days in alignment with the data that we have about staff attendance 6432 02:32:18,550 --> 02:32:18,560 that we have about staff attendance 6433 02:32:18,560 --> 02:32:21,190 that we have about staff attendance uh on those days. So the days where we 6434 02:32:21,190 --> 02:32:21,200 uh on those days. So the days where we 6435 02:32:21,200 --> 02:32:23,030 uh on those days. So the days where we traditionally have our highest levels of 6436 02:32:23,030 --> 02:32:23,040 traditionally have our highest levels of 6437 02:32:23,040 --> 02:32:24,870 traditionally have our highest levels of staff attendance are the days identified 6438 02:32:24,870 --> 02:32:24,880 staff attendance are the days identified 6439 02:32:24,880 --> 02:32:26,870 staff attendance are the days identified as professional learning days and the 6440 02:32:26,870 --> 02:32:26,880 as professional learning days and the 6441 02:32:26,880 --> 02:32:28,710 as professional learning days and the days that we know based on data from 6442 02:32:28,710 --> 02:32:28,720 days that we know based on data from 6443 02:32:28,720 --> 02:32:31,030 days that we know based on data from past years have lower attendance. We 6444 02:32:31,030 --> 02:32:31,040 past years have lower attendance. We 6445 02:32:31,040 --> 02:32:33,030 past years have lower attendance. We have identified those as individual 6446 02:32:33,030 --> 02:32:33,040 have identified those as individual 6447 02:32:33,040 --> 02:32:36,630 have identified those as individual teacher work days.

So that green day immediately following 6574 02:35:23,910 --> 02:35:23,920 So that green day immediately following 6575 02:35:23,920 --> 02:35:26,550 So that green day immediately following winter break is always for that reason 6576 02:35:26,550 --> 02:35:26,560 winter break is always for that reason 6577 02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:28,710 winter break is always for that reason slated as a teacher workday. However, 6578 02:35:28,710 --> 02:35:28,720 slated as a teacher workday. However, 6579 02:35:28,720 --> 02:35:32,309 slated as a teacher workday.

What we often 6584 02:35:39,510 --> 02:35:39,520 professional learning day. What we often 6585 02:35:39,520 --> 02:35:42,389 professional learning day. What we often have seen in the past is that that 6586 02:35:42,389 --> 02:35:42,399 have seen in the past is that that 6587 02:35:42,399 --> 02:35:44,710 have seen in the past is that that second green day when it has occurred, 6588 02:35:44,710 --> 02:35:44,720 second green day when it has occurred, 6589 02:35:44,720 --> 02:35:46,550 second green day when it has occurred, we've had iterations of the academic 6590 02:35:46,550 --> 02:35:46,560 we've had iterations of the academic 6591 02:35:46,560 --> 02:35:49,349 we've had iterations of the academic calendar over a very long time. some of 6592 02:35:49,349 --> 02:35:49,359 calendar over a very long time. some of 6593 02:35:49,359 --> 02:35:51,349 calendar over a very long time. some of which have one green day and some have 6594 02:35:51,349 --> 02:35:51,359 which have one green day and some have 6595 02:35:51,359 --> 02:35:53,910 which have one green day and some have two following winter break. What we know 6596 02:35:53,910 --> 02:35:53,920 two following winter break. What we know 6597 02:35:53,920 --> 02:35:56,630 two following winter break. What we know is that there are times that families 6598 02:35:56,630 --> 02:35:56,640 is that there are times that families 6599 02:35:56,640 --> 02:35:58,550 is that there are times that families and staff members will take an 6600 02:35:58,550 --> 02:35:58,560 and staff members will take an 6601 02:35:58,560 --> 02:36:00,389 and staff members will take an additional day after winter break 6602 02:36:00,389 --> 02:36:00,399 additional day after winter break 6603 02:36:00,399 --> 02:36:03,670 additional day after winter break inclusive of that Monday. So that is why 6604 02:36:03,670 --> 02:36:03,680 inclusive of that Monday. So that is why 6605 02:36:03,680 --> 02:36:07,830 inclusive of that Monday. So that is why that second day is a districtdirected 6606 02:36:07,830 --> 02:36:07,840 that second day is a districtdirected 6607 02:36:07,840 --> 02:36:09,990 that second day is a districtdirected professional learning day. 6608 02:36:09,990 --> 02:36:10,000 professional learning day. 6609 02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:13,830 professional learning day. The final one in May is again a teacher 6610 02:36:13,830 --> 02:36:13,840 The final one in May is again a teacher 6611 02:36:13,840 --> 02:36:17,270 The final one in May is again a teacher workday per negotiated agreement which 6612 02:36:17,270 --> 02:36:17,280 workday per negotiated agreement which 6613 02:36:17,280 --> 02:36:19,030 workday per negotiated agreement which follows the final day with students 6614 02:36:19,030 --> 02:36:19,040 follows the final day with students 6615 02:36:19,040 --> 02:36:21,510 follows the final day with students which is their second opportunity in the 6616 02:36:21,510 --> 02:36:21,520 which is their second opportunity in the 6617 02:36:21,520 --> 02:36:23,670 which is their second opportunity in the academic calendar year to complete 6618 02:36:23,670 --> 02:36:23,680 academic calendar year to complete 6619 02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:26,309 academic calendar year to complete grading and report card work and that is 6620 02:36:26,309 --> 02:36:26,319 grading and report card work and that is 6621 02:36:26,319 --> 02:36:27,750 grading and report card work and that is in alignment with our negotiated 6622 02:36:27,750 --> 02:36:27,760 in alignment with our negotiated 6623 02:36:27,760 --> 02:36:28,710 in alignment with our negotiated agreement 6624 02:36:28,710 --> 02:36:28,720 agreement 6625 02:36:28,720 --> 02:36:32,389 agreement and November 12th that November 12th day 6626 02:36:32,389 --> 02:36:32,399 and November 12th that November 12th day 6627 02:36:32,399 --> 02:36:35,429 and November 12th that November 12th day will be a work day and that is that 6628 02:36:35,429 --> 02:36:35,439 will be a work day and that is that 6629 02:36:35,439 --> 02:36:40,150 will be a work day and that is that exists only on the 2728 calendar 6630 02:36:40,150 --> 02:36:40,160 exists only on the 2728 calendar 6631 02:36:40,160 --> 02:36:44,230 exists only on the 2728 calendar and that's because we have discussed a 6632 02:36:44,230 --> 02:36:44,240 and that's because we have discussed a 6633 02:36:44,240 --> 02:36:48,070 and that's because we have discussed a lot in the past about that ever floating 6634 02:36:48,070 --> 02:36:48,080 lot in the past about that ever floating 6635 02:36:48,080 --> 02:36:50,630 lot in the past about that ever floating Veterans Day on November 11th and we 6636 02:36:50,630 --> 02:36:50,640 Veterans Day on November 11th and we 6637 02:36:50,640 --> 02:36:54,630 Veterans Day on November 11th and we know that if we were to have a school 6638 02:36:54,630 --> 02:36:54,640 know that if we were to have a school 6639 02:36:54,640 --> 02:36:58,790 know that if we were to have a school day as it falls on 2728 a school day on 6640 02:36:58,790 --> 02:36:58,800 day as it falls on 2728 a school day on 6641 02:36:58,800 --> 02:37:02,070 day as it falls on 2728 a school day on November 12th we know already that there 6642 02:37:02,070 --> 02:37:02,080 November 12th we know already that there 6643 02:37:02,080 --> 02:37:04,710 November 12th we know already that there would be a great impact to the learning 6644 02:37:04,710 --> 02:37:04,720 would be a great impact to the learning 6645 02:37:04,720 --> 02:37:07,030 would be a great impact to the learning environment through both student and 6646 02:37:07,030 --> 02:37:07,040 environment through both student and 6647 02:37:07,040 --> 02:37:10,230 environment through both student and staff abs substances leading also to a 6648 02:37:10,230 --> 02:37:10,240 staff abs substances leading also to a 6649 02:37:10,240 --> 02:37:13,429 staff abs substances leading also to a the ever challenging um substitute 6650 02:37:13,429 --> 02:37:13,439 the ever challenging um substitute 6651 02:37:13,439 --> 02:37:15,830 the ever challenging um substitute shortage. So therefore in the 2728 6652 02:37:15,830 --> 02:37:15,840 shortage. So therefore in the 2728 6653 02:37:15,840 --> 02:37:17,750 shortage. So therefore in the 2728 calendar when Veterans Day falls on a 6654 02:37:17,750 --> 02:37:17,760 calendar when Veterans Day falls on a 6655 02:37:17,760 --> 02:37:21,030 calendar when Veterans Day falls on a Thursday that is a work day immediately 6656 02:37:21,030 --> 02:37:21,040 Thursday that is a work day immediately 6657 02:37:21,040 --> 02:37:22,950 Thursday that is a work day immediately following that on Friday the 12th. 6658 02:37:22,950 --> 02:37:22,960 following that on Friday the 12th. 6659 02:37:22,960 --> 02:37:25,670 following that on Friday the 12th. However, if you look at the 2829 final 6660 02:37:25,670 --> 02:37:25,680 However, if you look at the 2829 final 6661 02:37:25,680 --> 02:37:29,750 However, if you look at the 2829 final draft um Veterans Day is observed on 6662 02:37:29,750 --> 02:37:29,760 draft um Veterans Day is observed on 6663 02:37:29,760 --> 02:37:32,309 draft um Veterans Day is observed on Friday the 10th. An interesting fact is 6664 02:37:32,309 --> 02:37:32,319 Friday the 10th. An interesting fact is 6665 02:37:32,319 --> 02:37:35,190 Friday the 10th. An interesting fact is that if Veterans Day falls on a weekend, 6666 02:37:35,190 --> 02:37:35,200 that if Veterans Day falls on a weekend, 6667 02:37:35,200 --> 02:37:38,230 that if Veterans Day falls on a weekend, it is identified to be observed on 6668 02:37:38,230 --> 02:37:38,240 it is identified to be observed on 6669 02:37:38,240 --> 02:37:41,349 it is identified to be observed on Friday, the on the previous Friday, and 6670 02:37:41,349 --> 02:37:41,359 Friday, the on the previous Friday, and 6671 02:37:41,359 --> 02:37:44,230 Friday, the on the previous Friday, and here is the 10th. So therefore, there is 6672 02:37:44,230 --> 02:37:44,240 here is the 10th. So therefore, there is 6673 02:37:44,240 --> 02:37:48,309 here is the 10th. So therefore, there is no need to tag on on the in 2028 an 6674 02:37:48,309 --> 02:37:48,319 no need to tag on on the in 2028 an 6675 02:37:48,319 --> 02:37:51,750 no need to tag on on the in 2028 an additional workday to accompany a 6676 02:37:51,750 --> 02:37:51,760 additional workday to accompany a 6677 02:37:51,760 --> 02:37:55,910 additional workday to accompany a midday, a midweek Veterans Day holiday. 6678 02:37:55,910 --> 02:37:55,920 midday, a midweek Veterans Day holiday. 6679 02:37:55,920 --> 02:37:58,870 midday, a midweek Veterans Day holiday. But given that rationale, we have 6680 02:37:58,870 --> 02:37:58,880 But given that rationale, we have 6681 02:37:58,880 --> 02:38:01,910 But given that rationale, we have February 16th. them on 2829. We have 6682 02:38:01,910 --> 02:38:01,920 February 16th. them on 2829. We have 6683 02:38:01,920 --> 02:38:03,910 February 16th. them on 2829. We have February 16th which looks like that 6684 02:38:03,910 --> 02:38:03,920 February 16th which looks like that 6685 02:38:03,920 --> 02:38:05,349 February 16th which looks like that floating work day 6686 02:38:05,349 --> 02:38:05,359 floating work day 6687 02:38:05,359 --> 02:38:09,270 floating work day and we've said how bad it is. You know, 6688 02:38:09,270 --> 02:38:09,280 and we've said how bad it is. You know, 6689 02:38:09,280 --> 02:38:11,990 and we've said how bad it is. You know, is that because we don't we think we 6690 02:38:11,990 --> 02:38:12,000 is that because we don't we think we 6691 02:38:12,000 --> 02:38:13,670 is that because we don't we think we should put it back in the November or 6692 02:38:13,670 --> 02:38:13,680 should put it back in the November or 6693 02:38:13,680 --> 02:38:15,349 should put it back in the November or we're trying to get a 4-day weekend 6694 02:38:15,349 --> 02:38:15,359 we're trying to get a 4-day weekend 6695 02:38:15,359 --> 02:38:17,510 we're trying to get a 4-day weekend there or what what's the rationale of 6696 02:38:17,510 --> 02:38:17,520 there or what what's the rationale of 6697 02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:19,429 there or what what's the rationale of not doing it the same two years in a 6698 02:38:19,429 --> 02:38:19,439 not doing it the same two years in a 6699 02:38:19,439 --> 02:38:19,590 not doing it the same two years in a row? 6700 02:38:19,590 --> 02:38:19,600 row? 6701 02:38:19,600 --> 02:38:21,750 row? Right. That that's a good question. one, 6702 02:38:21,750 --> 02:38:21,760 Right. That that's a good question. one, 6703 02:38:21,760 --> 02:38:24,389 Right. That that's a good question. one, you know, and we had substantial 6704 02:38:24,389 --> 02:38:24,399 you know, and we had substantial 6705 02:38:24,399 --> 02:38:28,389 you know, and we had substantial discussion in the task force about this 6706 02:38:28,389 --> 02:38:28,399 discussion in the task force about this 6707 02:38:28,399 --> 02:38:31,590 discussion in the task force about this and we talked about, okay, how can we 6708 02:38:31,590 --> 02:38:31,600 and we talked about, okay, how can we 6709 02:38:31,600 --> 02:38:33,830 and we talked about, okay, how can we best support teachers and students 6710 02:38:33,830 --> 02:38:33,840 best support teachers and students 6711 02:38:33,840 --> 02:38:37,270 best support teachers and students knowing that by contract, the negotiated 6712 02:38:37,270 --> 02:38:37,280 knowing that by contract, the negotiated 6713 02:38:37,280 --> 02:38:41,190 knowing that by contract, the negotiated agreement, the the teachers are allotted 6714 02:38:41,190 --> 02:38:41,200 agreement, the the teachers are allotted 6715 02:38:41,200 --> 02:38:43,830 agreement, the the teachers are allotted a specific number of work days and so 6716 02:38:43,830 --> 02:38:43,840 a specific number of work days and so 6717 02:38:43,840 --> 02:38:45,910 a specific number of work days and so they have to fall somewhere. and knowing 6718 02:38:45,910 --> 02:38:45,920 they have to fall somewhere. and knowing 6719 02:38:45,920 --> 02:38:49,910 they have to fall somewhere. and knowing that uh in November having 6720 02:38:49,910 --> 02:38:49,920 that uh in November having 6721 02:38:49,920 --> 02:38:55,510 that uh in November having having not had a three-day week, we do 6722 02:38:55,510 --> 02:38:55,520 having not had a three-day week, we do 6723 02:38:55,520 --> 02:38:57,510 having not had a three-day week, we do not create an additional 3-day week 6724 02:38:57,510 --> 02:38:57,520 not create an additional 3-day week 6725 02:38:57,520 --> 02:38:59,510 not create an additional 3-day week because we were also very cognizant of 6726 02:38:59,510 --> 02:38:59,520 because we were also very cognizant of 6727 02:38:59,520 --> 02:39:01,750 because we were also very cognizant of feedback both from educators and from 6728 02:39:01,750 --> 02:39:01,760 feedback both from educators and from 6729 02:39:01,760 --> 02:39:04,790 feedback both from educators and from families about wanting to spread out or 6730 02:39:04,790 --> 02:39:04,800 families about wanting to spread out or 6731 02:39:04,800 --> 02:39:07,510 families about wanting to spread out or have fewer 3-day weeks. And so we 6732 02:39:07,510 --> 02:39:07,520 have fewer 3-day weeks. And so we 6733 02:39:07,520 --> 02:39:09,830 have fewer 3-day weeks. And so we decided to put it in February knowing 6734 02:39:09,830 --> 02:39:09,840 decided to put it in February knowing 6735 02:39:09,840 --> 02:39:12,230 decided to put it in February knowing that it's always a good time for a 6736 02:39:12,230 --> 02:39:12,240 that it's always a good time for a 6737 02:39:12,240 --> 02:39:16,469 that it's always a good time for a workday for for teachers. So I would say 6738 02:39:16,469 --> 02:39:16,479 workday for for teachers. So I would say 6739 02:39:16,479 --> 02:39:18,870 workday for for teachers. So I would say probably the opposite is the most true 6740 02:39:18,870 --> 02:39:18,880 probably the opposite is the most true 6741 02:39:18,880 --> 02:39:21,190 probably the opposite is the most true that the reason in the previous year 6742 02:39:21,190 --> 02:39:21,200 that the reason in the previous year 6743 02:39:21,200 --> 02:39:23,750 that the reason in the previous year that it is tagged on to Veterans Day is 6744 02:39:23,750 --> 02:39:23,760 that it is tagged on to Veterans Day is 6745 02:39:23,760 --> 02:39:25,190 that it is tagged on to Veterans Day is because Veterans Day is in the middle of 6746 02:39:25,190 --> 02:39:25,200 because Veterans Day is in the middle of 6747 02:39:25,200 --> 02:39:27,590 because Veterans Day is in the middle of the week. And so that just makes sense. 6748 02:39:27,590 --> 02:39:27,600 the week. And so that just makes sense. 6749 02:39:27,600 --> 02:39:31,030 the week. And so that just makes sense. Um and then knowing that uh the flow of 6750 02:39:31,030 --> 02:39:31,040 Um and then knowing that uh the flow of 6751 02:39:31,040 --> 02:39:33,670 Um and then knowing that uh the flow of work for teachers, it does work for them 6752 02:39:33,670 --> 02:39:33,680 work for teachers, it does work for them 6753 02:39:33,680 --> 02:39:36,950 work for teachers, it does work for them to have a workday second semester 6754 02:39:36,950 --> 02:39:36,960 to have a workday second semester 6755 02:39:36,960 --> 02:39:39,670 to have a workday second semester um in the middle of the in the middle of 6756 02:39:39,670 --> 02:39:39,680 um in the middle of the in the middle of 6757 02:39:39,680 --> 02:39:42,070 um in the middle of the in the middle of the winter. 6758 02:39:42,070 --> 02:39:42,080 the winter. 6759 02:39:42,080 --> 02:39:47,510 the winter. And last, can you enlighten me on um 6760 02:39:47,510 --> 02:39:47,520 And last, can you enlighten me on um 6761 02:39:47,520 --> 02:39:51,030 And last, can you enlighten me on um how we keep track of if teachers are 6762 02:39:51,030 --> 02:39:51,040 how we keep track of if teachers are 6763 02:39:51,040 --> 02:39:52,950 how we keep track of if teachers are going to their professional development 6764 02:39:52,950 --> 02:39:52,960 going to their professional development 6765 02:39:52,960 --> 02:39:54,710 going to their professional development days and what are the consequences for 6766 02:39:54,710 --> 02:39:54,720 days and what are the consequences for 6767 02:39:54,720 --> 02:39:57,990 days and what are the consequences for people who don't? Mhm. We actually have 6768 02:39:57,990 --> 02:39:58,000 people who don't? Mhm. We actually have 6769 02:39:58,000 --> 02:40:01,510 people who don't? Mhm. We actually have come in the past few years to track uh 6770 02:40:01,510 --> 02:40:01,520 come in the past few years to track uh 6771 02:40:01,520 --> 02:40:03,429 come in the past few years to track uh attendance on professional learning days 6772 02:40:03,429 --> 02:40:03,439 attendance on professional learning days 6773 02:40:03,439 --> 02:40:05,750 attendance on professional learning days very closely.
