[5. Discussion Item]
SO WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE DISCUSSION OF SUPERINTENDENT SCHOOLS 2023-2024 EVALUATION INSTRUMENT TARGETS AND THE 2023-2024 INCENTIVE PLAN.THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HENRY DR.
LEAR WHY DON'T YOU GO THROUGH ALL OF THE TARGETS? AND AS A REMINDER TO OUR PUBLIC, THE SUPERINTENDENT'S APPRAISAL INSTRUMENT, 96% OF IT IS ALL BASED ON THE METRICS THAT ARE DERIVED FROM OUR GOALS AND OUR GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES.
AND THOSE ARE, UM, VERY FINITE.
I EITHER MEET THOSE OR DO NOT MEET THOSE.
AND THEN THERE'S A SECTION FOR DIRECT, UM, FEEDBACK FROM OUR TRUSTEES.
SO WITH THAT DR. LEAR, IF YOU JUST HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR US, PLEASE.
THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON, TRUSTEE HENRY.
THE [INAUDIBLE] ALSO THE MEMBERS WERE TRUSTEE CARREÓN AND TRUSTEE WEINBERG TO DEVELOP THE SUPERINTENDENT'S APPRAISAL FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, AS WELL AS RECOMMEND HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL.
THE EVALUATION REALLY MIRRORS THE STUDENT OUTCOME GOALS AND CONSTRAINTS THAT ARE OUTLINED IN AE LOCAL, AND THEY'RE COMPRISED OF 60% STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THE GOALS AND GOAL PROGRESS MEASURES 22% CONSTRAINTS, 5% FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, AND 13% STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION.
AND THAT INCLUDES PARENTS, TAXPAYERS, AS WELL AS YOU, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I'D LIKE TO GIVE JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE TOOL TO RE-ACCLIMATE THE FULL BOARD.
THE COLUMN LABELED DETAIL AT THE TOP LEFT OUTLINES THE LANGUAGE FOR EACH GOAL, AND GPM.
THE PERCENT COLUMN REFLECTS THE TOTAL POINTS FOR EACH CATEGORY, AND THEN THE NEXT FIVE COLUMNS SHOW THE HISTORICAL DATA DATED BACK TO 2018-19. THE GRAY AREAS INDICATE THAT THE DATA WASN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE GOAL OR GPM WASN'T MEASURED DURING THAT YEAR.
AND THEN IF WE GO TO THE NEXT FOUR COLUMNS THAT REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR THIS YEAR.
THE OPTIONS ARE UNSATISFACTORY, SOMEWHAT SATISFACTORY, FULLY SATISFACTORY, OR CLEARLY SUPERIOR.
THE VALUE IN THE FULLY SATISFACTORY COLUMN REFLECTS THE BOARD APPROVED STUDENT OUTCOME TARGETS FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, AND THEN THE VALUE IN THE UNSATISFACTORY COLUMN IS AT OR BELOW THE 22-23 SCORE. SOMEWHAT SATISFACTORY IS ACHIEVED BY SHOWING PROGRESS TOWARD THE ANNUAL TARGET, AND THEN THE LAST PERFORMANCE TARGET IS CLEARLY SUPERIOR, WHICH EXCEEDS THE 23-24 BOARD APPROVED ANNUAL TARGET.
THE NEXT THREE SECTIONS, IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, PAGE TWO.
[00:10:01]
STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION.SO TO ACHIEVE FULLY SATISFACTORY IN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICE WOULD SUPPORT THAT AT LEAST THREE MONTHS OF RESERVES ARE IN THE FUND BALANCE WHICH ALIGNS TO OUR POLICY.
THE PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR CONSTRAINTS ARE BASED ON HISTORICAL DATA AND PATTERNS.
AND THEN THE ONLY CONSTRAINT THAT WE RECOMMENDED A SLIGHT CHANGE IS STUDENT EXPERIENCE.
SO IF WE COULD SCROLL IF IF YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY DOWN, FROM 1.1 TO 1.3, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS THIS IS OUR NEWEST CONSTRAINT. WE STARTED THIS LAST YEAR, AND IT'S COMPRISED OF THE STUDENTS EXPERIENCE ON SAFETY, POSITIVE CLIMATE, AND THEIR SENSE OF BELONGING. AND THIS IS MEASURED FROM FALL TO FALL.
SO WE RECENTLY RECEIVED THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE DATA AND DETERMINED THAT THIS CONSTRAINT SHOULD BE BROKEN INTO TWO PARTS SO THAT WE HAVE AN ELEMENTARY PORTION AND A SECONDARY PORTION.
AND WE DETERMINED THAT TO ENSURE THAT DIFFERENT GRADE SPANS WERE NOT MASKED.
SO THE LAST SECTION, IF WE CAN GO ON THE THIRD PAGE, IS OUR STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION, WHICH AGAIN INCLUDES OUR OVERALL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE OR SATISFACTION, WHICH IS DONE THROUGH LET'S TALK, OUR PARENT SURVEY, TAXPAYER SURVEY, AND THEN OF COURSE YOU AS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
SO WITH THAT, THAT IS THE TOOL THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT, AD HOC COMMITTEE AND THE ADMINISTRATION AGREED UPON AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING THIS TO THE FULL BOARD.
[6. Action Items]
UM, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ACTION ITEM SIX A, WHICH IS CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 2023-2024 EVALUATION INSTRUMENT TARGETS AND 2023 2024 INCENTIVE PLAN.DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE.
TRUSTEES IS THERE DISCUSSION? TRUSTEE MACKEY DID YOU HAVE A FEW WORDS YOU WANT TO SAY GIVEN THAT YOU CHAIRED THE COMMITTEE? YEAH, I FIRST OF ALL, JUST WANT TO THANK TRUSTEES WEINBERG AND CARREÓN FOR SERVING ON THE COMMITTEE AS WELL.
I'LL JUST SAY ONE MORE TIME AS DR.
LEAR MENTIONED, UM, THIS EVALUATION IS TIED VERY DIRECTLY TO THE GOALS AND THE CONSTRAINTS THAT THIS BOARD HAS SET, AND I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE.
UM, SO JUST SOME NUANCE HERE IS THAT EVERYTHING IN THE FULLY SATISFACTORY THAT TARGET IS WHAT OUR ANNUAL TARGET FOR THE GOALS AND THE CONSTRAINTS ARE.
UM, AND THAT THE GOALS OF THE CONSTRAINTS COMBINED REPRESENT MORE THAN 80% OF THIS EVALUATION.
SO THIS, WE CAN BE ASSURED, IS VERY DIRECTLY LINKED.
SO AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION AND MY COLLEAGUES ON THE COMMITTEE, UH, AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATION, FOR GOING THROUGH A NUMBER OF REVISIONS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. THANK YOU, TRUSTEE MACKEY AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT COMMITTEE.
