During the month of July, some additional details were added to the 2024-25 budget.  We are presenting it here to keep the board informed. 

The departure of our former Board President, Bridget Smith, means that the positions of Board President/Chair and Board Secretary need to be filled.   Tiffany Barillas was elected as Board Treasurer during the 2023-24 school year and her term in that position continues. 

The board should consider a motion to approve Nancy Mondragon as the new Board President, as recommended by the departing Ms. Smith. 

The board will also need to nominate and approve a Board Secretary. 

 California's accountability system is based on a multiple measures system that assesses how local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools are meeting the needs of their students. Performance on these measures is reported through the California School Dashboard (Dashboard).

The Dashboard includes a concise set of state indicators and local indicators that are founded on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) priorities but are also aligned to the measures required under Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Those LCFF priorities for which there is no state level data collected are referred to as local indicators. The seven local indicators are:

• Basic Services and Conditions (Priority 1)
• Implementation of State Academic Standards (Priority 2)
• Parent and Family Engagement (Priority 3)
• School Climate (Priority 6)
• Access to a Broad Course of Study (Priority 7)
• Coordination of Services for Expelled Students (Priority 9, for county offices of education [COEs] only)
• Coordination of Services for Foster Youth (Priority 10, for COEs only)

The board does not need to approve this report. It is presented here to keep the board apprised of key issues of school performance.

The following data represents the credentialing status of teacher at JJMS. 

We currently have an open position for a single subject math teacher.  This is a very difficult position to fill because there are very few math teachers looking for a posiiton.  JJMS has posted the position and will continue to attempt to recruit an already credentialed Math teacher.  Long term substitutes supported by veteran JJMS teachers will provide instruction until a permanent solution can be found. However, it is likely that our best option will be to support a paraprofessional as they transition to credentialed teacher.    

The board should consider a motion to approve the application of a Provisional Intern Permit in the Single Subject for Christian A. Narciso, a current JJMS employee holding a paraprofessional position.  

Mrs. Lara will present a brief overview of enrollment, attendance and campus climate as set during the first week of school.  The leadership has set priorities for improving academic performance and increasing pro-social behavior on campus. 

This agenda item addressed the documentation required by the Williams lawsuit in regard to our declaration of sufficient instructional materials.  Attached is a list of instructional materials, specifically textbooks, for each of the content areas monitored by Williams decree: ELA, MATH, HISTORY/SS, SCIENCE, and HEALTH EDUCATION.   Also attached are forms signed by teachers of record for those classes stating that they have sufficient materials for all of their students.

JJMS classrooms are equipped with a chromebook for every child in the class.   JJMS also provides laptops and internet hotspots to any family that has declared they lack those items at home.  This allows every student to access materials presented as digitial subscriptions. 

The board should consider a motion to declare that JJMS has sufficient instructional materials for each individual student.
