Peter Garff: Rustin will be taking my place next year and I wanted to say thank you for providing me with many great lessons and making sure that student voices are heard.

Monica Batts-King: We need to make sure parents are notified of student accomplishments. Having Pali High host a black graduation is something we need to look into. Ticket limitations for graduation was a fiasco, there were a lot of people and I suggest that we spread the kids out more so that the rows go all the way down the football stadium because parents cannot see their children. We need to look at how to organize the event so more families can enjoy the event as well. We may want to also look into the graduation rehearsal and find an alternate time, rather than the day of the event.

Andy Paris: There is a general lack of moral in special education. There is a lack of confidence in department leaderships, little to no observations, and given evaluations that they did not feel were fair to their overall performance.

Karen Ellis: Nothing to report at this time.

Maggie Nance: Faculty is happy to be on break and we are looking forward to a restful summer!

Nothing to report at this time.

Don Parcell: Report stands as submitted.

Nothing to report at this time.

Michael Rawson: Report stands as submitted. Mr. Rawson summarized the overall development report.

Juan Pablo Herrera: Report stands as submitted. Will report out in the finance portion of the meeting.

Dr. Pam Magee: Ongoing bargaining with UTLA, admin leadership team is developing a plan to address student behavior issues, we also have a new dean, Perisha Bellinger. We have some summer projects that we are working on, more to come!

Sara Margiotta: Report stands as submitted.

Sarah Crompton: On page 24, kiln is misspelled as kin. Shelving is also misspelled. In the 1:1 device program paragraph, it says teacher effectiveness grant monies will be used for the tech program?

Sara Margiotta: Yes, the suggestion is that this money will be used to help with the 1:1 program purchases.

Grade Appeal Committee: Overturned one official grade in favor of the petitioner.

Maggie Nance: We have a grading policy in the department and it is not always followed. At the admin level, if there was more oversight, there would be more consistency between department grading policies.

Dr. Pam Magee: That is a great recommendation, and is something we will take a look at moving into next year.

Sara Margiotta: Tabled due to continuing negotiations between UTLA and PCHS.

Juan Pablo Herrera presented that 2023-2024 LCAP, which can be found in the board materials.

Sarah Crompton: On page 47, the goals are listed and one mentions increasing academic coaches, but the numbers are actually reduced.

Juan Pablo Herrera: There will be one more instructional coach next year, which will be done through an auxiliary. The lower number in the budget is reflected in decreased instructional materials, not academic coaches.

Sarah Crompton: Reintegrating one full-time college advisor, what does that mean?

Juan Pablo Herrera: We have individuals that are leaving the college center and we are looking at filling those vacant roles.

Sarah Crompton: This next question is a particular concern for me because there is an increase in mental health professionals on campus, but I am concerned because I work at Pali Academy and we did not renew the therapists contract for next year. There is no line item for mental health services at Pali Academy and am wondering is anyone can speak to that.

Juan Pablo Herrera: The school therapists support is included in the LCAP and budget materials. I do not have enough information to know why it has not been posted.

Dr. Pam Magee: We are updating our job descriptions and are actively looking to fill those mental health roles.

Sarah Crompton: So even though one role is not included in the LCAP, it will be filled?

Dr. Pam Magee: It may not be the exact routine, but there will definitely be a mental health support professional at Pali Academy.

Sarah Crompton: Sometimes people forget about Pali Academy and we need support at Pali Academy.

Dr. Pam Magee: You will absolutely not be forgotten. We are communicating with Ms. Theard and developing a plan.

Sarah Crompton: I want to also point out that attendance has not been great the past few years and, as it is one of our goals, that is something that needs to be focused on as well.

Dr. Pam Magee: We have personnel already in training and we have a plan to have better systems in place next year.

Maggie Nance: One of the problems in attendance is that we had an attendance policy and it wasn't enforced at all. We were not clear at all about the consequences of poor attendance. One of the problems was not having a way to differentiate why kids were absent, is this correct?

Dr. Pam Magee: There was a problems were kids were being punished in an inconsistent way and we want to have consequences that are equitable and has buy-in from all stakeholders so we can track it in an effective way.

Maggie Nance: I have mentioned before that I have some real attendance problems and these kids were well informed. I am not some tough teacher about being late, but kids were 30 minutes to 1 hour late every day and I began not allowing students to make up exams and there wasn't enough time to makeup these exams during Pali Periods. If there has been a stronger attendance policy in place, this wouldn't have happened and we would have had a chance to catch these kids before it was too late.

Dr. Pam Magee: We are making progress and we did make great progress this year in making sure kids were following through on reporting their attendance reasons, but we do need to take a look at the overall effectiveness of the policy.

Juan Pablo Herrera presented the 2023-2024 budget, which can be found in the board materials.

Sarah Crompton: On page 110, the ed tech coordinator, which we didn't have last year, is listed, but we have not had one for at least two years now. Is that no longer a position?

Juan Pablo Herrera: No, that does still exist, but we rely more on DataLinks for many of those issues. Having someone in person would definitely be more preferable.

Sarah Crompton: Can you explain the senior office assistant role and why is says it was backfilled and then it says it was not backfilled?

Juan Pablo Herrera: That was decided originally that we would not be filling a vacant role, but decided later that we would when there was a need.

Sarah Crompton: I am wondering what is happening with Albert IO because we would like to use the program, but it is not listed as a subscription in the budget.

Juan Pablo Herrera: We communicated with department chairs and did a cost versus benefit analysis. We are saving roughly $16,000.

Sarah Crompton: It looks like Infinite Campus is going up $12,000 dollars and PowerSchool is going up $13,000. What is PowerSchool?

Juan Pablo Herrera: PowerSchool owns Schoology and those are notes from Jeff Roepel.

Sara Margiotta presented the Employment Contract Amendment for the Executive Director/Principal process and findings through the board committee's evaluation.
