Said Grijalva: “It is sad and heartwarming that this school year is coming to an end, but the graduating children are ready to achieve and thrive in their next school level.” Superintendent Melissa Moore emailed, “I believe the parent feedback reflected in the presentation demonstrates the high level of satisfaction with the quality of the services their children receive. Our preschool students feel happy and safe in the program. Parents receive more meaningful feedback on how their child is developmentally progressing.” Executive Director of Educational Services Marisa Janicek then anchored the evening’s final presentation, which also included contributions from El Segundo Middle School Principal Jack Plotkin and Instructional Technology “coaches” Jason Ito and Sean Brandlin. The presenters detailed the strides being made in the District as the coaches continue to educate teachers and staff on the benefits and possibilities of enhancing the student experience by fully embracing the new technologies available to teachers, students and parents. After the presentation, Board members added their input--noting the time it takes to incorporate new technologies into the classroom environment, and the added time that veteran teachers must invest to become fluent in the new digital technologies. Janicek, in an email sent prior to the presentation, lauded the efforts of the technology coaches, and the supportive community and “amazing students.” She noted that “to prepare our students for the challenges ahead, we also need to prepare our teachers. It is an exciting time, but challenging with all of the shifts in education--and peer coaching is a valuable research-proven technique to help teachers at all levels.” After the special presentations, the Board quickly approved the 10 consent agenda items, including an Eagles’ Nest Wildlife Learning Center Assembly; a District Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) night; and the Master Schedule Training for District administrators, teachers and counselors on Power School Master Scheduling. The two days of training will commence on April 19. The Eagles’ Nest assemblies are set for April 19 and 20, and will give youngsters the opportunity to receive hands-on learning as they are guided by local biologists. The District GATE night will take place in the RSS cafeteria on May 11, with parents invited to attend a workshop led by Kristine Quinn, a guest lecturer from CSU Fullerton—and students selecting and participating in interactive workshops based on their specialized areas of interest, including coding, Lego building, and improvisational skills. During the action item portion of the 135-minute meeting, the Board accepted financial gifts bestowed upon the District; approved the wording of a job description for Program Specialist---Special Education; approved a resolution laying off a classified employee at El Segundo High School and another resolution dealing with Ed!’s feebased Summer Academy. Two information pending action (IPA) items confronted the Board, including the noting of the District’s Comprehensive School Safety Plans for 2016-17, and a public request that could ultimately lead to a revision of the Use of School facility policy that would take place during the 2017-18 school year. However, the Board tabled a second IPA item dealing with the need for more field time for a local soccer club that is comprised of a multitude of District students. Moore then highlighted the upcoming events on the District’s calendar, including upcoming PTO and PTA meetings, and the always popular Run for Education that will take place on April 22, commencing on Main Street in front of the High School. Board member reports followed, with comments including thanking the technology team for their detailed presentation and pumping up the Run for Education next Saturday. President Bill Watkins thanked the City for the synergy it has achieved with the Board in working to craft solutions in areas of common interest. Moore then gave her Superintendent’s report, thanking the Ed! Foundation for upping the annual pledge to $1.5 million while pointing out that El Segundo Unified is “one of the least funded school districts in the state of California.” The next regularly scheduled El Segundo School Board meeting is on the calendar for Tuesday evening, April 25. • Get An Extra $15 Off & Free Shipping On Your 1st Order!
