Edmentum Contract Addendum Minutes: This item was pulled for separate discussion and action. Mr. Phillips spoke about improving teaching and retaining good teachers.

As an alternative, he supported the Let's Go Learn program used at Kensington Elementary. Superintendent Duffy clarified that the contract included online credit recover software to aid students who are behind. Superintendent Duffy said that staff provides intervention support through individual school site learning centers. He shared additional information about the various programs in use and said staff would be happy to provide data on the various programs in use. Ms. Block asked about the success data provided by Edmentum. Superintendent Duffy responded with information regarding student growth and the need for whole school comparisons. Ms. Kronenberg said she was not convinced Edmentum was the strongest program for the District and would be interested in looking at other competitive programs.

President Cuevas spoke about the number of programs providing intervention and review of the various programs for determination of success for students. Mr. Phillips continued to speak about this program including credit recovery and afterschool components, and asked about purchasing separate components of the program. Superintendent Duffy responded with additional information. Dr. Breed explained the bundling of services for the best price and the length of the agreements for products and services. It would be possible to separate the licenses for the after school portion. She said it is important, however, to move forward with the credit recovery licenses and training. Mr. Phillips motioned approval of the credit recovery and training portions of the contract. Ms. Kronenberg seconded. President Cuevas asked for clarification about cost. Dr. Breed and Superintendent Duffy responded that there would be an approximate $8,000 difference. President Cuevas preferred to vote on the full contract as the bundle was most likely a discounted price while continuing to pursue what programs best meet students' needs. Motion Passed: Mr. Panas made a substitute motion to approve Item. D.5 Edmentum Contract Addendum. Ms. Block seconded. Ms. Block, Mr. Panas and President Cuevas voted yes, Ms. Kronenberg and Mr. Phillips voted no, with no abstentions and no absences. Motion carried 3-2-0-0.

Los muchachos del Latino Club junto con sus moderadores y líderes se han encargado no sólo de embellecer los pasillos de la escuela con coloridas banderas y decoraciones (las cuales incluyen artesanías típicas, fotos de ceremonias tradicionales como “la quinceañera”, e imágenes de nuestra querida Virgen de Guadalupe) que representan las tradiciones y la cultura de los países de donde provienen las familias de nuestra comunidad salesiana, sino que también han organizado ventas y actividades para la recaudación de fondos que luego serán donados a fundaciones y organizaciones que apoyan a niños y jóvenes de familias latinas de bajos recursos económicos. Con mucho orgullo les deseo a todas las familias salesianas latinas un feliz mes de la herencia latina. Sintámonos orgullosos de nuestra herencia latina y nunca paremos de educar y exponer a nuestros hijos a sus raíces latinas. Tenemos una gran herencia cultural!

  • A Case Study of De Anza High and UC Berkeley Campus Climate, High School College Readiness, and Yield to UC Berkeley
    The University of California, Berkeley Navigating to the University of California, Berkeley: A Case Study of De Anza High and UC Berkeley Campus Climate, High School College Readiness, and Yield to UC Berkeley Janae Briggs Alishba Sadar Eunice Bonfil Tapia Graciela Serratos Marciela Rodrigues June 11, 2021 Acknowledgments We want to acknowledge that during these difficult times due to COVID-19 and hate crimes against our community members, we as a campus community are constantly striving to help our student population thrive in the face of adversity. Continuously and regularly, UC Berkeley needs to keep conducting extensive research on diversity and belonging on campus as well as take action and responsibility for the reported results. We are aware that although UC Berkeley may be a top public university and research institution, we still have strides to make in regards to accepting and welcoming people from all walks of life. These strides are made in lieu of UC Berkeley’s position on the land of the Ohlone people. As members of the campus community, we acknowledge their connection to this region and our opportunity to live, work, and learn in their traditional homeland. We also acknowledge the persistence of Ohlone people and their rights to recognition and self-determination. This project was made possible from the support of our faculty sponsor, Dr. David Harding who met with the Nav2Cal research team throughout the conception of the research question, creation of the literature review, the development and distribution of the survey, and the formation of the report. Guiding our work, he directed the project, provided feedback, and reviewed our drafts.
