CAN I SPEAK ON BOTH TOGETHER, 6.3 AND 6.4?
>> WE'LL HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT HEARING IN THAT MEETING. [LAUGHTER]
>> OKAY. HI EVERYONE, MY NAME IS JO ANNA CARDOZA, COMMUNITY MEMBER, PARENT.
FIRST OF ALL I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE PLAN IN SPANISH.
THANK YOU FOR BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT AND BEING MORE INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE OF THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU REPRESENT.
BUT I DO HAVE ONE CONCERN ABOUT THE BOARD GOALS.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE BOARD SPEND AT LEAST 50 PERCENT OF THEIR TIME ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
I KNOW THAT YOU ALL GOT SOME DATA AT THE LAST MEETING BUT IT DID NOT SHOW DESEGREGATED DATA AND I THINK THAT ONCE YOU LOOK AT THE DESEGREGATED DATA BY CAMPUS AND BY STUDENT POPULATION, IT'S GOING TO SHOW THAT THERE'S HUGE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
DOUBLE DIGITS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ONE CAMPUS FROM ONE FEEDER PATTERN TO ANOTHER FEEDER PATTERN.
ESPECIALLY UNDER FEEDER PATTERN THAT MY CHILD ATTENDS WHICH IS SUMMIT FEEDER PATTERN.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SCHOOLS FROM ELEMENTARY TO INTERMEDIATE AND THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT ARE NOT DOING AS WELL AS THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.
I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
IN YOUR PLAN IT SAYS THAT STUDENTS FIRST AND I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
BUT IF WE REALLY ARE GOING TO PUT STUDENTS FIRST WE REALLY NEED TO PUT MORE TIME INTO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A MEETING WITH THE CITY OF MANSFIELD AND I'M SURE THAT THEY ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A WORKFORCE THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR ANY BUSINESSES THAT ARE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE COUNTY.
THAT'S ALL I REALLY HAVE TO SAY IS I JUST THINK THAT YOU ALL NEED TO PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN YOUR BOARD GOALS. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. EXCELLENT. CAN WE DO ANY MORE [INAUDIBLE].
