Needs or just feedback overall from our English Learners. As you can see from the presentation, there was definitely higher, you know, urgent requests from e. L. S and what that means for our work this fall, especially taking off, again, with this initial recommendation of Distance Learning in the fall or at least the first, you know, as they kick off the new academic year. Hi. Ill try that, devon, and you can jump in if you want. What i think you hear you seeing, commissioner lam, is how are we using this to address some of these call programs Going Forward with these English Learners. That was the first part of the question. The second was do we have this aggregated data around some of these English Learners, and some additional framework, particularly, like, our e. L. S in high school. Some people, i know, had to call four, five, six times, and just, like, how does that guide our work forward with e. L. S im sorry, work with English Learners . So with our work on the data, we dont have it tonight on the data reports. R. P. A. Had created a lot of very detailed reports, so yes, i cant give you specifics. I guess its in that detailed plan thats going to be coming in july 28, and the data, i dont know if you, devon, have any sort of overview data on english language learner students in particular . Yeah, so a couple of things to say to that. One, the urgent needs coding was done for all 243 of those with urgent needs, so it would be quick work looking to isolate just English Learners. As noe said, not something we have available right now, but certainly something we could get to that. The other thing we look at is making sure this data gets back to site. Its why were accessing the resulting in realtime and why were working on accessing reports to give to stakeholders in the coming weeks. And on the book page is a link to a cache if youre an administrator or staff, so it would be easy to analyze in that way, as well. We always stand by, ready to support that when those questions come up, and id be happy to create a slide for you. That would be really great for a follow up. Thank you. Commissioner lopez . Yes. Ill say quickly how excited i was when this was being launched, and i just really appreciate how organized it was, keeping track of all the student i. D. S. Like, everything was organized in a way that i could understand. Even though i know that the interactions and questions could be better, and i know that some people just reaching out dont have the relationships established for the conversation to feel comfortable . So i just hope, and my question is, now that weve seen this and weve launched this, whats the status of it being a little bit more consistent, and what are we doing with that information . So if there are urgent requests that are outside of our repertoire, im going to push the need to connect with city agencies if they need access or help with food or like, what is the next phase of this . How often would we be implementing this . Thats definitely a great question. Its definitely going to be folded into the first 30 days, and i think the deputy superintendent has talked about this learning sprint, and its clear that theres a really strong appetite for more regular checkins. Is it possible to do it as a get ready for the school year checkin or a christmas checkin, something to stay in touch with families . We were able to set up a system where we got back to them with urgent calls, but we want to ramp that up, do that better. I think both the feedback that we heard from the student delegates today from the student town hall is building it out for the students in particular, so thats also a version that were looking at, so well be looking at the data both in terms of the hope is in the first 30day plan, is in looking at this plan, how is that actionable, how does that drive who were going to reach out to first . So i think that will be both and, as we think of the wellness checkins, and then were thinking about how does the Family Resource line continue to build out, and how do we make things better . Thats kind of a long version, but thats our version of what the 2. 0 is, that its not a oneanddone, its part of what were continuing to do. And the ab 77, it directs local School Agencies to check in with Mental Health and social and emotional wellbeing, not only for families, but for students and staff. Just know that there are multiple groups of working out the details of what that would look like in the months ahead. The legislation, it will absolutely be part of funding Going Forward, as well. Thank you. I really appreciate everything thats going into this and how we can expand and build on it. Commissioner moliga . Thank you. I wanted to know, is there a way maybe we could use Text Messages to let folks know that theyre going to get a call . If we can just say hey, were going to be doing this, thats generated from Central Office, but then, it kind of supports all the sites in letting folks now that theyre going to get calls . I also like the idea of using data to think about who we reach out to first, as well as who we maybe reach out to more, right . But i also want to say im a family that didnt get a wellness check, and i was fine waiting, but it was really, really beneficial. Because i did, one of my kids was able to get into an internship this summer, and its great. Its not just lowincome, i think its great that its going to everybody, and that we have builtin systems to differentiate. I think this dont know how we the city to support us, and thats what our resolution asked for, was more support in more community schools, because i think thats the link between the c. B. O. S that might be the mechanism . But i wanted to know, how can we make it easier when i think about c. B. O. S wanting to help or communicate with schools via email, and theres a lack of access . Thats not a question you can answer quickly, but id love to hear some ideas on how we can make it easier for them to help us help families. I like the td the data. It was very clean, but it was also very cumbersome because of the numbers. It was really hard to track because there was, like, these big spreadsheets, and im just wondering if you had any thoughts or learnings about how to make the data entry less cumbersome for sites. Being ookay. I heard about five questions. Okay. This was a question you asked about the Text Messages, and yes, we can do that. We actually did that along with the auto dialer, so we are realizing that. In terms of the c. B. O. Partnerships, we are lucky that we have the 27 compromised sites that are based on the b. C. Funding, but we can always use more. How can we make it easier . I have to say with the 27 beacon sites, we are working closely with the chief on some of the sfusd emails, and were listening to them all the time and trying to troubleshoot. In terms of a tracking system, that is something devon, im kind of going to let you chime in because we have been thinking a lot about that and how it could be easier, something with, like, a twosystem. So i dont have the answer, but we definitely want to make it easier. Yeah, i have a lot to say about this. We needed to make sure that we had something quick and was easy to use. We went with google suite, and we built out some spreadsheets and a form. We figured out how to get a link other on the form so when you clicked on the link next to a students name, it gave you all the information you needed. Now the downside to that was we had many thousands of people using these forms all at the same time, and, you know, i was joking with a colleague. It feels like were flying a space ship, and we dont know how far it can go. It felt like the bolts were rattling, and it was still flying, but it was pushed to the limit. I dont want to get into all the technical details, but the quickest answer i would have for you is a twopronged approach. We stagger it so that theres not so much traffic all at once. And also using a system that we already have, synenergy or Something Else that allows us to use the same form. Were constantly trying to make tradeoffs, and so your points well taken. I know that basically, the google system worked really well, except for the busiest days, and then, at that point, the tracking part of it got a little bit wonky, and so we do have some ideas on how to do that better Going Forward, and thats feedback we heard loud and clear. Great. Thank you. And i guess the only i question i have is more for maybe chief dodd, and you dont have to have an answer, but what regular systems do we have to make sure were doing some contact and cleanup of parent information. Some schools, when they meet with parents, they do it better. They say hey, we just want to make sure this is good information. It does not happen at every school, where i guess somebody asking me get somebody asking me, is this correct, and i think it would really help. And thats not necessarily, like, testing, thats an operational, like, we just tell everybody do this behavior this way, because that is a simple thing, but its just so frustrating. And finally, id love to see a report on individual schools because what has come out is some schools theres a teacher, michelle cody. I really appreciate her, her work. Some teachers at some schools think of themselves as its their job to connect with families, and some dont. And im just going to name it. Its all of our jobs to connect with families during covid, and id love to see the information on the schoolbased level on who connected with more families because theyre doing a better job. Id also like to see where were more weak as a system at a schoolbased level. That would be really helpful. Hi. Go for it. Isnt everyone happy we hired mellie . Im glad we did, mellie, and you put all your energy in it. For me, im a social worker, so this stuff is kind of, like, every day thing, so im going to, like, cut straight to the things that i think would be beneficial for us. You know, what i think would be cool as next steps because everyones doing the wellness checks. Were doing wellness checks, c. B. O. S are doing wellness checks. I think the next step for me is what does it look like for me to be at the table, and what is everybody doing, so that way, you create a tree and everybodys linking, and folks know whats going on. Commissioner lopez keeps talking about city agencies. I think thats one piece as well. I think when we get that locked down, we have eyes all over the place on these kids, not only at the schools, but also in the community, and i think that would be the best bet for families and the kids. The question that i have for folks within our own, you know, School District is, like, how are the partnerships coming along with our own departments . How is the curriculum working with, like, technology . How is that all working together in general because for me, you know, that has to be in place before we can go out and try to build all this other stuff, so how is that currently coming along . That is a great question, and i would have to say that that is one of the big areas that has come out is that as divisions and departments, we worked closer in alignment than before because we just recognize well, weve been not that we didnt want to before, but sometimes with brick and mortar, im at this school, im at this school, and have we really coordinated . Id have to say that with dr. Priestlys leadership, chief dodd, and others, and the superintendent himself, i feel confident that were working together as a district and as a department, as well. I think it speaks that many times, our presentations are multilevel and department presentations. I think dr. Matthews, i probably should have turned it over to you. Little late. Yeah. I notice we have a bunch of strong sheroes in this, and i appreciate it. You guys are killing me. Just to kind of wrap it up, with all the information that were getting, like, for me, whats also important is that information is guiding the way that we are educating kids in the classroom, as well, right . Because ive been in situations where educators and folks, they separate the two, right . Its like, but, you know, like, i would be able to have conversations on school sites. You know, this is the climate, this is whats going on. How do we build curriculum in our classrooms to address the needs that were currently seeing, in addition to get the scores to where we need to. And then, the last thing was around teacher wellness. Im curious to see how our educators are doing, and are they Getting Services . Are we able to support them the way we want to support them, etc. , etc. , so, you know, you can respond to that or you can give me an update later, but i would love to hear your feedback on that . Sure. No, we definitely are looking into that. We are interested. I havent been able to follow up with the s. F. Heels, where we were able to get support for sfusd. We are doing part of the Teacher Survey and the staff survey. Also asked questions, so when we get that data, well know more, but its an area that we definitely want to continue building up supports. I know that we have staff has supports both through the Employee Assistance program, through their own assistance program, and through the heal s. F. Program. So i think its more of letting the staff know its available, so i guess, i think we have so again, i think we have to be better at communicating, and then, hearing about supports. Last one, and this is a real quick one. So this is around pacific islanders. Im real interested i would like to see the data around samoan kids, so ill just leave it at that. Yes. Because we have the student i. D. S, this is what i was responding to earlier from commissioner lam, thats something i could pull out for you, and id be happy to send it along. There were a couple of things that popped up. In response to the question about staff Mental Health and wellbeing, that survey that mellie mentioned, i just happened to have a conversation with researchers doing that. I know its open now, but its going to close soon, like later this month or early next month. So theres several questions around that on there, so basically, thats coming. You know, we dont have all that data yet, but its starting to flow in, and we will have reports on Staff Wellbeing and staff Mental Health. Thats been open since may. I also wanted to get to one of commissioner Collins Point and what commissioner ed brought up, and that is i and my colleagues believe in partner be with c. B. O. S partnering with c. B. O. S. The way the system was designed was for to give the callers as much helpful information as possible. For example, heres the Homeroom Teacher for this student, heres the language youll probably get when you call that household, and were a bit limited in what we can share outside of the sfusd universe outside frpa. If we can design the system a little bit differently, theres a way we can includes them in parts of the process, kbut theres always that process. So i just wanted to make clear that were always making these tradeoffs, and our doors are always open on how to make it better. We know that with c. B. O. Health, the knowledge is there, and the expertise is there, and as we go forward, well be looking at how to partner better together. All right. Any last comments or questions . All right. Thanks again for the presentation and the i saw stevons. Yeah, stevon, youre on a different screen. I actually missed part of the presentation. I had to step away for a second. One of the things that i wanted to highlight just around the calls, so i apologize if this is already addressed. One of the things around mellies theme is a lot of the interventions that im hearing about directly happening with families is schoolbased. Like, paraprofessionals dropping stuff off directly to families, and also, paraprofessionals are being highly activated to do this stuff, it sounds like more than what ive heard from other schools and stuff. Is that intervention being captured in terms of, like, a wellness sort of support. You know, thats a really great question, and were probably not capturing it in a good way, and im glad you brought that up. We should probably look at that. It might have been a follow up to a wellness check, how did we capture that . So on behalf of everything thats happening with the wellness team, it may not be something thats coordinated with the school. When school is in session, its better coordinated because the Central Office, the wellness team, say, for the division, there are social workers that sit at a school site, so its very integrated. During the summer is where we have challenges because most of our staff is not working, so we might have office staff doing the work, and thats where we need to i think thats where we drop balls is in the summer more than in the school year. The reason i bring that up is because, you know, from the people that work at school sites, theyre just imagining that theyre going to handle it themselves, and they may not be relying on your team as a potential support, addressing things that need to be addressed. So im wondering you know, it sounds like theyre doing it, but if they should be in more coordination with your team to make things more seamless. Is that something that they should be thinking about, or should they just go on . No, absolutely. Thats part of the coordinated care. I think what all of the commissioners are saying is how do we support from the Central Office so that at the school site, we have more coordination so we have the whole picture of the child so that folks now, like, hey, maybe im the family liaison, and i know this is happening with that student and making sure that that gets to the social worker or the nurse, right, so we can do the wraparound services. I think what youre saying is what were starting to lean towards, and have to do some diagnosing division wide, is how do we build on supports at the central level, and how can we improve that support . What youre saying is where we attain towards, so, like, all the folks sitting at a site, whether theyre school staff or counselors or teachers on special assignment from curriculum instruction or Student Teachers from family and curriculum support. So in my conversation with school
