Sukai Durosimi: Cool, Ms. Tovar? No, because… Okay. Ms. Tovar is not feeling well, so what we'll do is I'll get the information from her.

142
00:14:52.190 --> 00:15:08.819
Sukai Durosimi: Basically, what she's presenting is information, the recruitment she's done for this year, and how many kids she's able to bring in. So, since she's not able to do it this year, in January, she'll do it, and she'll also have some information about recruitment for at least maybe the first quarter.

143
00:15:09.300 --> 00:15:13.779
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, we'll go ahead and do your report, okay.

144
00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:30.530
Sukai Durosimi: So, the Bank of America account, there was $10,000, now there is $9,700, because $300 was taken out to purchase the plaques for the event.

145
00:15:37.630 --> 00:15:51.399
Sukai Durosimi: And for fundraising, we have raised, $1,000. Okay. We have some baskets that were purchased, but we don't know what the total is right now, because the…

146
00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:56.800
Sukai Durosimi: Mom has not come to… Oh, you have it? Oh, great! It was,

147
00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:03.679
Sukai Durosimi: We made $700 and… about $750, about $780. Okay. And then one of the baskets, Mom.

148
00:16:04.060 --> 00:16:15.050
Sukai Durosimi: gave it back to the school. Oh, okay. She gave, don't give it back to the school. Okay, so that'll be $1,780 that we raised for $30 for $30 for right now.

149
00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:17.329
Sukai Durosimi: That's good. Yes.

150
00:16:18.510 --> 00:16:22.210
Sukai Durosimi: Yes, it is.

151
00:16:24.130 --> 00:16:27.889
Sukai Durosimi: Have we considered doing any additional events?

152
00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:38.420
Sukai Durosimi: No, I think that's the big one, and then we have another one, the alumni…

153
00:16:38.670 --> 00:16:43.010
Sukai Durosimi: In field for field day, so we have another 30 for 30.

154
00:16:43.150 --> 00:17:01.470
Sukai Durosimi: Field day, I think. Field day is, what, May? In May. But we do, I mean, there's some grants that have been written. We don't know yet. We won't get any information or answers till, like, February, but as far as fundraising, that would be the two big ones this year. Gotcha.

155
00:17:07.540 --> 00:17:09.369
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, we have that.

156
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:14.639
Sukai Durosimi: That's all.

157
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.410
Sukai Durosimi: I have another one of these.

158
00:17:22.930 --> 00:17:36.280
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, with the… let me go find the thing here… With the budget… Okay.

159
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:42.830
Sukai Durosimi: So… Oh, it keeps blinking.

160
00:17:47.130 --> 00:17:48.280
Sukai Durosimi: Okay.

161
00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:55.909
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, I'm… I'm so sorry, I'm not sure why it's blinking this much today.

162
00:17:57.040 --> 00:18:15.599
Sukai Durosimi: Hopefully it will… hopefully it will stay like this. Our total revenues right now, actuals, is $352,000, and this is information from November, because we're always one month, behind.

163
00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:31.280
Sukai Durosimi: And the total expenditures is $330, so our deficit right now is $22,474. I'm also going to upload, the cash flow that Ms. Bay is going to send us.

164
00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:39.330
Sukai Durosimi: She's kind of pleased, because, you know, it's hard to please Ms. Bae, but she's kind of, a little bit.

165
00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:43.339
Sukai Durosimi: She is really tough,

166
00:18:43.560 --> 00:18:54.729
Sukai Durosimi: we… it seemed like we're going to be in the black a little bit as far as her projections, and then towards March, you'll start seeing that we're back in the red, but…

167
00:18:55.030 --> 00:19:03.799
Sukai Durosimi: The sad thing right now is we lose students to people moving, and we gain students, so if you look at our…

168
00:19:04.340 --> 00:19:08.919
Sukai Durosimi: Enrollment… let me go here…

169
00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:23.820
Sukai Durosimi: Yeah, of course, when people have to move out to the hall, they don't they? Yes, it's the time, but when they move, what happens is, of course, as you can see, I mean, we gained, like, an extra…

170
00:19:24.030 --> 00:19:31.140
Sukai Durosimi: I don't know, $150 from October to November. But…

171
00:19:31.350 --> 00:19:48.159
Sukai Durosimi: it's not much, but what we're doing is we're still making sure that our expenses are still… we're still keeping our expenses low to balance out a little bit. So, we just want to make sure that we continue to pay our bills and catch up from the bills that we need to pay from the past.

172
00:19:48.310 --> 00:19:53.089
Sukai Durosimi: What else do I need to show you here? Go back to this one.

173
00:19:53.150 --> 00:20:12.709
Sukai Durosimi: Our food services, their revenue was $22,240, and their expenditure was $19,963, so they're really… Ms. Ida is doing a good job making sure that she's staying way below what she's bringing in.

174
00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:19.350
Sukai Durosimi: And then for EMAT so far, we have total revenues of 16.

175
00:20:19.350 --> 00:20:35.490
Sukai Durosimi: and it's showing total expenditures of $1,732. That would be incorrect, because we've purchased and paid for other resources, so we'll have an updated amount in January for December's information.

176
00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:38.249
Sukai Durosimi: So, and we've done the budget amendment.

177
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.059
Sukai Durosimi: That we needed to right here.

178
00:20:42.100 --> 00:20:46.390
Sukai Durosimi: That's all my report I have for budgeting, also.

179
00:20:48.300 --> 00:20:50.270
Sukai Durosimi: Let's see what else we have.

180
00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:56.130
Sukai Durosimi: Oh, the renewal report card.

181
00:20:59.150 --> 00:21:01.670
Sukai Durosimi: RM… okay.

182
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:15.439
Sukai Durosimi: So, TEA has a new kind of report card that… it's very nifty, I think it's… I believe it's very useful.

183
00:21:15.780 --> 00:21:21.880
Sukai Durosimi: When we're going to be renewed, so our renewal year is 2027.

184
00:21:21.930 --> 00:21:33.419
Sukai Durosimi: 2026, 2027, which would be next year. I really thought it was this year, which would have really helped because of… we have… they look at last year's budget rating.

185
00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:48.119
Sukai Durosimi: So next year, they'll look at this year's budget rating, which we have a C. The appeal that I submitted, they rejected the appeal, which I told the board last, last time we met.

186
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:57.990
Sukai Durosimi: So, I'm not sure… when I read through this, it wouldn't do anything. Now, I do want to say I am trying to calculate that charter

187
00:21:57.990 --> 00:22:15.969
Sukai Durosimi: school report card, what our financials will be. I don't think we're going to do well, on our financials, just because our expect… expenditures were higher than our revenues this school year. So when we… when they do our audit this year for last year.

188
00:22:15.970 --> 00:22:17.970
Sukai Durosimi: There's going to be… Yeah.

189
00:22:18.260 --> 00:22:25.040
Sukai Durosimi: I don't know if we're gonna fail, but I don't think that it's going to hurt the renewal.

190
00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:40.779
Sukai Durosimi: you need, like, 3 dings first before. So, right now, where we stand is, if you… well, if it will stay on, we had a D, C, D, C, and B. You have to have 3 consecutive

191
00:22:40.780 --> 00:22:57.669
Sukai Durosimi: these to be in improvement required, and then you would have somebody tell you what to do, and then if you have 3 more after that, then TA kind of comes in. We don't ever want to be there. No, we do not.

192
00:22:57.990 --> 00:23:01.500
Sukai Durosimi: So right now we have a B,

193
00:23:02.670 --> 00:23:17.200
Sukai Durosimi: Let me see… our charter first rating is the same thing. We've had AAA, and then, of course, we have a C currently, so we'll see what we have next year. I think next year is where we're going to have maybe a lower grade than a C. It's either going to be a D or an F.

194
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:24.560
Sukai Durosimi: Total finances. Because of… yeah.

195
00:23:24.850 --> 00:23:27.609
Sukai Durosimi: So, right now, we have no strikes.

196
00:23:27.780 --> 00:23:31.049
Sukai Durosimi: And so…

197
00:23:31.100 --> 00:23:48.479
Sukai Durosimi: for 25, 26, we'll also have an acceptable, but I don't… I believe we will have an unacceptable and a strike. But it wouldn't affect… it wouldn't impact, because I called, because I was… I was really anxious. So I called to ask.

198
00:23:48.480 --> 00:24:05.069
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, am I reading this right? And the reason why I'm anxious is because when I did the appeal for Charter First, I used their verbiage, but then the commissioner denied it, so if they can deny their own verbiage, I wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to affect this.

199
00:24:05.070 --> 00:24:29.030
Sukai Durosimi: So, this is the expedited renewal, which, if there's one no, and they were basing that no on the fact that we had Cs, if we had a B, a B and a B, we would have probably made the renewal, but we will be… we're not expiring, which is a good thing. So the reason for this is anybody that's coming up for renewal.

200
00:24:29.030 --> 00:24:44.319
Sukai Durosimi: can go on, look at this manual, and it basically tells you whether you are going to… they're going to renew you, or whether you're not going to be renewed. So, they don't even waste their time anymore. The report card tells you.

201
00:24:44.320 --> 00:25:09.280
Sukai Durosimi: So right now it says the charter school is rated, under standard accountability, yes. The charter school was assigned highest or second highest performance rating… performance rating for three preceding school years, no, because we had CCC, then a B. The charter school's financial performance rating is satisfactory. For a better three preceding school years, yes, but next year it'll be no.

202
00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:33.399
Sukai Durosimi: want to know. The charter school has no campuses with unacceptable academic ratings for three preceding school years, or such a campus has been closed. Yes, we don't have any of that. And all of this is a no. The charter school received an unacceptable academic performance rating for any three of the five preceding school years. No. We've maintained our C and then a B.

203
00:25:33.630 --> 00:25:40.669
Sukai Durosimi: The charter school received a financial rating lower than satisfactory for any 3 or 5 preceding school years, no.

204
00:25:40.690 --> 00:25:55.620
Sukai Durosimi: The charter school received any combination of unacceptable academic performance rating or financial ratings lower than satisfactory for any three of the preceding 5 years? No. So even if we get the one, it'll still be a no.

205
00:25:55.620 --> 00:26:11.509
Sukai Durosimi: The charter school has any campuses that have received an unacceptable academic rating for three preceding school years, and such a campus has not been closed? No. So… This reminds me so much when I was in college.

206
00:26:12.350 --> 00:26:16.179
Sukai Durosimi: I actually graduated, and I was working in the Department of Education.

207
00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:22.729
Sukai Durosimi: And we were trying to… Do the certifications for,

208
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.460
Sukai Durosimi: I mentioned accreditation for the university.

209
00:26:25.850 --> 00:26:31.289
Sukai Durosimi: And you don't ever want to be in a situation where you're at risk of losing accreditation, because it's like…

210
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:37.569
Sukai Durosimi: you have a degree, and it's like, okay, it's not accredited anymore, so it's like… Yeah. Yeah.

211
00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:43.789
Sukai Durosimi: scary. I mean, because what… what… all those students, what do they do? Design. So, yeah.

212
00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.475
Sukai Durosimi: Mmm…

213
00:26:45.050 --> 00:27:07.489
Sukai Durosimi: That's what… well, that's what this is. Yeah, that's essentially what it is, yeah. Yeah. So, we have 2026. Right now, we have acceptable, acceptable, acceptable, and I believe on the end… the 18th, or in March, they're not sure yet, then they will have this information. No, the end of this year, 2026 year, they will have the information here.

214
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.640
Sukai Durosimi: For whether we're acceptable or unacceptable.

215
00:27:10.950 --> 00:27:19.210
Sukai Durosimi: So, that's what I wanted to share. We do not qualify for expansion right… right now.

216
00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:32.720
Sukai Durosimi: So it says, evaluated under standard accountability. Yes, charter school received the highest score. So it's just repeating the same thing, that it says. Do we qualify for expansion?

217
00:27:33.860 --> 00:27:46.660
Sukai Durosimi: No, we do not qualify for an ex- now, if we keep the B, and we have another B, if we have 3 Bs in a row, then yes, we can qualify for an expansion.

218
00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:48.700
Sukai Durosimi: That is it.

219
00:27:48.980 --> 00:28:05.269
Sukai Durosimi: Miss Joe back? Ms. Debbie, y'all ready? Y'all wanna go first. Flip a coin? You wanna go first? Or I can go first. Hey, I'm ready. That's my early morning person. She'd be here.

220
00:28:05.300 --> 00:28:12.810
Sukai Durosimi: reading us at the door. What do you want me to do? Stand up here? Sure, yes,

221
00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:17.680
Sukai Durosimi: trying to teach less.

222
00:28:18.410 --> 00:28:34.869
Sukai Durosimi: It's this one. I know, she's gonna pull it up, and I've got it here. Is it this one? Who's missing what you're saying? I'm listening. But anyway, it's the board report for the ESL program that we have here for the 2024-2025 year, okay? So…

223
00:28:34.970 --> 00:28:38.730
Sukai Durosimi: The key findings on that.

224
00:28:39.170 --> 00:28:58.879
Sukai Durosimi: You want me to wait until… It's gonna keep blinking, so I think it just… Just keep talking. Yes. Okay. So the key findings that, this is, like, again, the annual evaluation. The overhaul student academic progress, we had a total of 36 EB students in the school year 24-25.

225
00:28:59.010 --> 00:29:14.370
Sukai Durosimi: Okay. 33 of those EB students took MAPS, although the weathers were pre-K. We had 12 students that were on Tier 1. Okay. 10 students that were on Tier 2, and 11 students on Tier 3. Okay.

226
00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:26.229
Sukai Durosimi: 19 of those evening students took STAR, which 3 of them made Masters. Wow, okay. 5 of them made meats, 5 made approaches.

227
00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:30.029
Sukai Durosimi: We had 3 students that did not, meet.

228
00:29:30.310 --> 00:29:34.369
Sukai Durosimi: And then there was one that took one in the Spanish. That was one student.

229
00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:45.710
Sukai Durosimi: The English proficiency development, there was 30 ED students that took the Telpass. 20 out of those 30 had a composite score of advanced or advanced high.

230
00:29:46.070 --> 00:29:47.960
Sukai Durosimi: That was a 67%.

231
00:29:48.290 --> 00:30:01.790
Sukai Durosimi: 17 out of 29 of the EB students advanced in two domains or more, and that's one of our goals, is to try to… and the domains are reading, listening, speaking, or writing, those four domains.

232
00:30:02.190 --> 00:30:21.460
Sukai Durosimi: We had teacher professional development. We had teachers trained in connecting the Alps to the TEEKS. We had teachers that were trained on PSYOP, method of teaching to EB students. We had teachers that also attended the ESL extravaganza at Region 11 in the summer.

233
00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:27.660
Sukai Durosimi: The recommendations were, the recommendations

234
00:30:27.970 --> 00:30:31.829
Sukai Durosimi: Because this was, yeah, recommendations are continue.

235
00:30:32.100 --> 00:30:35.649
Sukai Durosimi: Recruiting and hiring students that are ESL certified.

236
00:30:36.130 --> 00:30:45.889
Sukai Durosimi: And, you know, continue to encourage and provide opportunities for staff to attend training for the ESL certification, which we won, and anyway, working on that.

237
00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:53.380
Sukai Durosimi: So, the program overview. Okay, we… the type of program that we have here is either a pull-out or push-in.

238
00:30:53.980 --> 00:31:00.260
Sukai Durosimi: And at that time, there was 36 students, and of course, the language of instruction here is English.

239
00:31:00.430 --> 00:31:13.860
Sukai Durosimi: The program's goals, by the end of the 2024-25 school year, 60% of those EB students will progress at least two Telpass domains, and we had, I believe it was a 59.

240
00:31:14.390 --> 00:31:26.829
Sukai Durosimi: Goal 2 was by the end of 2024-25 school year, 52% of the EB students at testing grades will be at meets or Masters. Those were our program goals.

241
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:42.559
Sukai Durosimi: So, our student academic progress. Okay, so for 3rd through 5th EV students, again, I'm just going back over the star, the 5 that met Masters, the 5 that met Meets, that was 10 out of 90… 10 out of 19, which was 53%.

242
00:31:43.330 --> 00:31:57.679
Sukai Durosimi: And in our English proficiency development, the reclassified students for Telbasset for… and again, that was the number of, 1st through 5th taking, that was 29, meeting our proficiency targets with 59%.

243
00:31:58.070 --> 00:32:11.929
Sukai Durosimi: Our program model, our Telpass and STAR, there was 8 kids that were able to be reclassified, and so that… we have a couple of those kids left, but anyway, they're being observed in this next school year.

244
00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:20.749
Sukai Durosimi: The teacher and the staff professional development, we had 12 that were trained for the PSYOP.

245
00:32:20.910 --> 00:32:29.550
Sukai Durosimi: And it was, like, 3… 3 of those were that… with classroom observation, and again, the outcome was student understanding and knowledge.

246
00:32:29.550 --> 00:32:41.339
Sukai Durosimi: We had the ELPS TATEX. 12 were being trained for that, and the frequency of that was 1. Knowledge of the language objectives… language objectives for the ELPS.

247
00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:45.680
Sukai Durosimi: And then we didn't do me… we didn't do any ESL waivers.

248
00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:47.999
Sukai Durosimi: And… let's see…

249
00:32:48.160 --> 00:33:07.600
Sukai Durosimi: Parent communication, okay. So our… of course, our communication is, of course, we do four times a year, we do report cards. We've got Google Classrooms, we've got emails done weekly and daily, okay? Lesson plans and events, and… and then, of course, there's parent conferences, at least, at least two.

250
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:14.419
Sukai Durosimi: you know, two… I know at least two or more, and that's on student, you know, progress and things that we count.

251
00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:31.640
Sukai Durosimi: For campus improvement plans, giving support to EV students. I know we have collaboration with teachers, you know, vocabulary support with visuals and checking for understanding, and that's all part of our, you know, strategic plan here, of teaching.

252
00:33:31.850 --> 00:33:50.470
Sukai Durosimi: The conclusions and recommendations, the strengths that we have, we have PSL meetings, we have MTSS meetings, we have collaboration between the staff, you know, administration support, ESL parent engagements that we have. We've had at least 3, you know, we have 3 of them in a year.

253
00:33:50.470 --> 00:34:03.500
Sukai Durosimi: And, in our RD, you know, in 2003 to 2004 was a 4, and we moved up to a 3 in 2004… I mean, 20… 20,000… 2024 to 2025.

254
00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:19.200
Sukai Durosimi: Areas of improvement, of course, I, you know, it's a continued process of hiring teachers who are ESL certified, and, you know, my recommendations were making sure our ED students are advancing, you know, in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

255
00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:21.179
Sukai Durosimi: Huh? So, huh?

256
00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:25.309
Sukai Durosimi: And drive.

257
00:34:26.130 --> 00:34:29.720
Sukai Durosimi: Thank you so much. Any questions?

258
00:34:30.030 --> 00:34:34.630
Sukai Durosimi: Okay. I said, okay.

259
00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:47.820
Sukai Durosimi: All right, a good job, Ms. Debbie. We're gonna save all the smoke from Ms. Joe thing. You gotta follow Ms. Debbie.

260
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:51.110
Sukai Durosimi: Hi.

261
00:34:53.780 --> 00:34:55.589
Sukai Durosimi: You wanna hook yours?

262
00:34:56.139 --> 00:35:05.729
Sukai Durosimi: is… I'm following along. Oh, okay. Okay, so I'm giving the school-wide update on, math, ELAR, science, NTSS,

263
00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:22.639
Sukai Durosimi: And everything's been aligned to our Lone Star governance and our strategic goals. Good. So that's… and the overview that you're going to get, it really is a brief overview, because, in January is when we have our middle of the year assessment, so in January is when you'll get the

264
00:35:22.660 --> 00:35:26.969
Sukai Durosimi: semi-deeper one, and then February deeper, because we'll have everything analyzed.

265
00:35:27.460 --> 00:35:47.150
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, so where we are right now is, for academic focus, that's our first, topic. We have systems in place, which we're very excited about, the systems that we have. We are daily, we have daily Tier 1 instruction aligned to pacing. That is a main focus for us, or we actually

266
00:35:47.150 --> 00:36:06.389
Sukai Durosimi: using the curriculum according to how the curriculum suggests that we actually use the curriculum to the point where, the teachers are really watching how they're moving through the curriculum and hitting all the components to ensure that we really are using Eureka and HMH and STEM skills with the developer.

267
00:36:06.620 --> 00:36:08.850
Sukai Durosimi: So that's been our number one thing.

268
00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:25.439
Sukai Durosimi: We are constantly… every day, the teachers have exit tickets with their kids, so whatever they're teaching, they double-check to make sure the kids learn the concept. And at the end of the week, the teachers analyze all the exit summaries, for each day, and on Fridays, they actually enter their summaries for the week.

269
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:31.649
Sukai Durosimi: of an overview of where kids are, so we know every Friday if kids are mastering skills or not.

270
00:36:31.740 --> 00:36:47.799
Sukai Durosimi: Overall. And we do that, K, 1 through 5, because kindergarten does not have exit tickets, but what she's doing is more of a weekly overview of the skills that she's been teaching the kids, and where are they. So by the end of the week, we have all that information.

271
00:36:47.800 --> 00:37:03.700
Sukai Durosimi: Coaching support has been provided for math and ELAR. We've worked very closely with Region 11. So the weeks that I coach, they are here on the off weeks, so the teachers are getting coaching every week, either from myself or from somebody from Region 11.

272
00:37:03.700 --> 00:37:11.019
Sukai Durosimi: They've been a part of all of our PLCs, and then they're also having their own conversations with teachers outside of PLCs.

273
00:37:11.020 --> 00:37:24.280
Sukai Durosimi: And, and so when they're on campus, they're, like, part of the staff, but not paid, but they're here, part of the staff. They join right in, do walkthroughs with the teachers, give feedback, so it's been a really good partnership with Region 11.

274
00:37:24.450 --> 00:37:37.710
Sukai Durosimi: And then, Amy has carried a huge bulk of the science piece, and her, between, Amy and Ms. Reza, working very closely, with that, we're seeing some really good strides with our science instruction as well.

275
00:37:38.950 --> 00:37:54.400
Sukai Durosimi: there's that. And then for MTSS, that's where we are monitoring all of our students on campus who are below grade level academically, and then we're also monitoring any students who are having any behavior concerns that we're needing to

276
00:37:54.400 --> 00:38:00.740
Sukai Durosimi: to focus in on. And we have chosen to actually do MTSS for pre-K all the way to 5th grade.

277
00:38:00.830 --> 00:38:22.299
Sukai Durosimi: Because we just see the need to watch all the way through. So we have about 30 to… but between 33 and 35 that we're watching very, very closely, because all our kids on our campus are in intervention, but these are ones in particular that we are really making sure, that we're watching very, very close, like, like, really, really close, if that makes any sense.

278
00:38:22.300 --> 00:38:23.869
Sukai Durosimi: And then…

279
00:38:24.050 --> 00:38:32.879
Sukai Durosimi: We are still on our cycle. We started that cycle back in September, where every 10 days, we are progress monitoring every student on our campus.

280
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:47.920
Sukai Durosimi: So, the kids just know, 10 days, they know we're going to go on, and we're doing a quick assessment to see where they are, based on the TEEK that the teacher, or TEKs that the teachers were providing support to them on, and then the kids get assessed on that.

281
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:54.809
Sukai Durosimi: The teachers analyze that, teachers analyze every 10 days, and then they analyze the,

282
00:38:54.820 --> 00:39:01.740
Sukai Durosimi: daily instruction, every day and only week. So there's lots of data, lots of analyzations going on.

283
00:39:01.830 --> 00:39:03.239
Sukai Durosimi: And we're…

284
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:14.410
Sukai Durosimi: Always watching how our students are moving, and we're making adjustments with behavior in our academics as needed, and attendance is also part of behavior for us.

285
00:39:14.410 --> 00:39:29.369
Sukai Durosimi: So, not only are we watching if kids are coming to school, we're having meetings with parents, and we've offered several different ways to have meetings to go over attendance, whether it's by phone, virtual, or face-to-face. But any student who has missed

286
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:43.539
Sukai Durosimi: 5 or more the first 9 weeks, those students have already have made those attendance things up, or the committee has voted to forgive based on some circumstances that we're aware of.

287
00:39:43.540 --> 00:39:58.599
Sukai Durosimi: And then the second nine weeks will start in January. So all the parents know that Mr. May's come for that attendance, and it's been a really good conversation, and a lot of aha moments that we're finding out, but if kids are not here, they cannot learn.

288
00:39:58.740 --> 00:40:10.999
Sukai Durosimi: And so that's what we've… that has been a big piece for us, so we're really excited that we've been doing that. And then the tiered supports a lot of students need. That's just something that we just… we just do, across the board. That's something we have to do.

289
00:40:11.350 --> 00:40:36.200
Sukai Durosimi: And then, the way we're using our data, our teachers are analyzing right now, something we've had our teachers do. They have gone back to the beginning of the year map data, and, they have already double-checked to make sure that the goals that were set back in September are aggressive and realistic, because we can be very aggressive, but it's… we're… that's not realistic for the student to get there.

290
00:40:36.470 --> 00:40:52.459
Sukai Durosimi: So, they've gone back to double-check all of those, they're good to go, and I even did it myself and gave them my information. They checked theirs against mine, so we've done, like, triple checks to make sure. And so now, the excitement comes in in January, when kids actually take their assessment, and so…

291
00:40:52.460 --> 00:41:00.510
Sukai Durosimi: Of course, we're waiting to see who's right. Did we, you know, did we actually project it correctly, if we analyzed it correctly? So we're pretty excited about doing that.

292
00:41:00.510 --> 00:41:11.490
Sukai Durosimi: Our POCs are still focused on evidence, no assumptions, so we're always talking about the data. We're going very deep with our data, continuing to focus on

293
00:41:11.490 --> 00:41:28.119
Sukai Durosimi: each teacher following three, students in their classroom, all of them, but we're following three in particular at each grade level as a way to practice as you're looking at their data and learning, different strategies. And then we adjust all of our instruction based on, the trends that we see.

294
00:41:28.970 --> 00:41:45.449
Sukai Durosimi: So, early progress monitoring is showing that our students are moving, but we don't want to just make progress, we want our kids to be MESSA Masters. So that adjusting of making sure that our,

295
00:41:45.450 --> 00:41:49.050
Sukai Durosimi: MAP goals were set aggressively and realistic.

296
00:41:49.100 --> 00:42:11.420
Sukai Durosimi: was projected out all the way to make sure that every student moves up, that they're either walking out at the end of the school year on grade level or higher, and if they're already below, they're closer now to that threshold that when they come back next school year, they will already be back on grade level. That is our goal, for everybody to be on the grade level.

297
00:42:11.420 --> 00:42:20.650
Sukai Durosimi: And if a kid is already really, really low, the goal is for them to move up, and all kids have to make progress. That's not an exhibition. So, that's just where we are.

298
00:42:21.250 --> 00:42:25.989
Sukai Durosimi: And, so again, middle of the year assessment is going to be in January.

299
00:42:25.990 --> 00:42:47.079
Sukai Durosimi: I met with the Student Lighthouse team, we've already decided on what that celebration's gonna be like, so the kids have already projected that they're gonna do well, so it's nice to hear the kids talk about, we already know we're gonna do well, Ms. Trey, so, you know, let's talk about what this party's gonna sound like, you know. So that's… I'm all about having a great time, as long as we do the work, so they… they know that.

300
00:42:47.090 --> 00:42:52.419
Sukai Durosimi: So the next slide is just, the instructional focus one, Mr. Dustin, if you can

301
00:42:52.420 --> 00:43:09.399
Sukai Durosimi: Scroll that one up, no, that one right there. So, this is just a quick little glimpse of everything we've been doing between the last time we talked up to now. So, we've either continued our practices that we said we would do, and… or we added on a few more things.

302
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:24.870
Sukai Durosimi: The two big things that we've added on since the last time we've talked is our teachers learn to become digital instructors, and we've added on tightening up our pacing and making sure that the delivery instruction in the classroom is solid.

303
00:43:25.210 --> 00:43:41.269
Sukai Durosimi: And of course, everything else there, we've just… it's just what we do, and it's… I met with the team this afternoon, and one of the things they said, I really don't even know all the things we're doing until we start listing everything out. So, so this is what we're doing.

304
00:43:42.110 --> 00:43:50.950
Sukai Durosimi: The next slide is just an overview, a little bit deeper, between October and December, just some highlights of some things that we've done.

305
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:58.940
Sukai Durosimi: Really want to highlight that teachers have really accepted the push and the challenge for me instructionally.

306
00:43:58.940 --> 00:44:12.409
Sukai Durosimi: to do the work. No one pushes back about, you know, analyzing that data and things like that. They really see the need to make sure that our decisions are based on what the data says and not what our gut says.

307
00:44:12.410 --> 00:44:33.259
Sukai Durosimi: We've also added in things like outdoor learning days, service learning days, really taking a lot of our flagships and adding that into what we're doing academically, not just a standalone. Everything has a purpose of what we're doing, and I really love how we've had two sets of student lighthouse teams right now, and even the two sets of students, or groups of students.

308
00:44:33.260 --> 00:44:37.400
Sukai Durosimi: Who've come to the table to talk to us about ideas.

309
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:47.120
Sukai Durosimi: They are, really big on, a lot of things that are hands-on and wanting to do more of those kind of things. So, so we were really excited about those days.

310
00:44:47.120 --> 00:45:05.940
Sukai Durosimi: that we collectively, across the board, were all on the same page about what the instruction needed to look like for those special days. So, it's fun when the kids are willing to do those things, and they're not afraid for it to be connected to academics, so… because they really do enjoy learning. They really do, enjoy learning here, so that's… that's been pretty cool.

311
00:45:07.200 --> 00:45:16.409
Sukai Durosimi: Okay, so again, what's coming up? We have middle-of-the-year testing coming up. We're going to continue to, push to make sure our kids

312
00:45:16.410 --> 00:45:41.109
Sukai Durosimi: meet the projections that we have worked on, and then the teachers are going to remind the students of those goals when they come back from Christmas break. Say, okay, this is coming up, this is what you said you're going to do, do you think you're going to do it? So, make it a really big deal in our classrooms. We're going to continue to adjust, adjust any interventions and pacing we need to do, and then continue with coaching and monitoring. So, just what we're doing, and just keep doing it deeper, and

313
00:45:41.110 --> 00:45:42.300
Sukai Durosimi: And stronger.

314
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:53.080
Sukai Durosimi: We're going to keep our systems very well established. The instruction is going to be clear, we're going to continue to monitor, and just keep all the coaching and everything that we're doing.

315
00:45:54.150 --> 00:46:07.929
Sukai Durosimi: These are a few highlights of some things. These are two videos, when you get a chance, you can watch. Those are really short, they're, like, 12 seconds for one, I think the other one's 22 seconds, but it's just really listening to

316
00:46:07.930 --> 00:46:20.140
Sukai Durosimi: academic talk happening in the classroom, and it's really neat to hear that, in our classrooms when you walk up and down the hallways. So, so it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun.

317
00:46:20.270 --> 00:46:31.070
Sukai Durosimi: This is our big thing that we just got involved with. Our school was contacted by this company, TNTP. TNTP is a research company that,

318
00:46:31.250 --> 00:46:42.370
Sukai Durosimi: works with schools to look deeper into educational topics, and TNTP was contacted by TEA,

319
00:46:42.630 --> 00:46:55.330
Sukai Durosimi: And they are working together to work… refine the t-test evaluation tool, because it's up for renewal. It's over 10 years old. So.

320
00:46:55.350 --> 00:47:13.839
Sukai Durosimi: TNTP and TEA are partnering together, and then EFWMA got contacted, would you like to be a part of this process where we bring the t-test tool to your school, we walk with you through 5 of your classrooms.

321
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:18.000
Sukai Durosimi: And we meet with your teachers about the t-test tool.

322
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:22.299
Sukai Durosimi: And we said, yes. So our school, this research.

323
00:47:22.300 --> 00:47:38.590
Sukai Durosimi: They are conducting this in 100 classrooms across the state of Texas, and EFWMA gave them 5 classrooms, so we are part of the research. And then Region 13, who actually is the trainer for a t-test.

324
00:47:38.590 --> 00:47:42.369
Sukai Durosimi: they were a part of it as well. So last week, we had

325
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:48.899
Sukai Durosimi: TEA, TNTP, and Region 13 on our campus last week, walk-in classrooms.

326
00:47:48.920 --> 00:48:08.719
Sukai Durosimi: We had two TEA or 3 TEA. It was… it was a heavy group of people. Our students did amazing. They didn't even blink an eye having them come in, and I would say that comes from the fact that we're always coming in and out of their classrooms anyway, so it wasn't even anything…

327
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:13.880
Sukai Durosimi: You know, weird to have a group of people come in, And,

328
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:35.419
Sukai Durosimi: So they walked the classrooms, and then I degreased with them, Mr. Acini and I met with them, I met with them again, then the next day, they came in and met with the classroom teachers and walked through the process, and so our school gave them feedback on that tool that is going to be used across Texas starting in 2027.

329
00:48:35.430 --> 00:48:58.869
Sukai Durosimi: They've also asked us to consider being a pilot school for 2026… 2027, to actually use the tool, and then in 2027-28, the actual tool will be in effect. So if we are a part of it, that means that we have actually worked on the tool two years ahead, two and a half years ahead of all the other schools in the state of…

330
00:48:59.120 --> 00:49:15.589
Sukai Durosimi: Texas, so obviously I said, yes, we will do that. Of course. So, so that is our claim to fame, that our name is out there right now, and they were really impressed, and they said that we were the best school that they had

331
00:49:15.660 --> 00:49:29.569
Sukai Durosimi: met with, and really enjoyed our presence. So, they saw a lot of good things. So, here we go. So that's what's been going on, and so I look forward to sharing some progress with you guys in January of our…

332
00:49:29.570 --> 00:49:39.409
Sukai Durosimi: kids, doing the work, and our staff reflecting what they do best, and that's excellence, checking themselves, and growing what they say every day. And that is it.

333
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:45.780
Sukai Durosimi: Good job!

334
00:49:47.080 --> 00:49:50.450
Sukai Durosimi: Alrighty, so, let's see what else we got here.

335
00:49:56.970 --> 00:50:03.410
Sukai Durosimi: That's it. Do we, we have a closed session? No closed session? Okay, good.

336
00:50:03.620 --> 00:50:08.109
Sukai Durosimi: All right, so the time is now, 6.46.

337
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:15.749
Sukai Durosimi: Majora Massandra? Hallelujah. Cease me, yeah.

338
00:50:16.420 --> 00:50:17.280
Sukai Durosimi: Alright.

339
00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:23.870
Sukai Durosimi: You know, closed sessions to the end of the year. Thank God, hallelujah.
