NEW BUSINESS
5.1 STATE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION CHILD DEVELOPMENT DIVISION DESIRED RESULTS PROGRAM
Nancy
Blair, Extended Student Services Supervisor, reported to the Board of Directors
on the Desired Results Program. The program is required for operation of the
Extended Student Services and Kid’s Zone programs by the State Department of
Education, Child Development Division. The program is one of self-evaluation,
and requires certain elements, including parent surveys, program environment
ratings, child participant assessments, and action plans for identified
deficiencies. Approval of the Desired Results Program Report is required by the
Department of Education.
Director
Faltings asked if the returns of the surveys went well. ESS Supervisor Blair stated
that a little more than 50% were returned and that is considered good.
Director
Kamena asked why half of the Smith ESS parents feel that their children are not
safe in the program. Superintendent of Youth Services Kraybill stated that
there has been major renovation at Smith School for the entire year. There are
fences up and specific paths for the children to take around the large
equipment. Parents may fear for their children’s safety because of the
construction. ESS Supervisor Blair added that the Smith program was also moved
to a different site during the summer that was foreign to the children and may
have added to their anxiety.
Director
Kamena asked why Arroyo Seco ESS has the lowest rate of parents satisfied. ESS
Supervisor Blair did not know the reasons for their dissatisfaction but will
research that and report back to the Board.
Chair
Furst opened public comment. No public comment was received. Chair Furst closed
public comment.
Director
Turner complimented ESS Supervisor Nancy Blair for an outstanding job and the
District is very fortunate to have her.
On
a motion by Director Turner, seconded by Director Faltings, accepted and
approved the Desired Results Program report, passing 4-0.
