Many of my Child Development students work fulltime and full time and they also have spent years to get their degree so they can provide my name is janet. I teach ceramics. I think its time we took a magnifying glass to the way this administration spends money because we share your concerns about the money. We had and i think we need to go to the highest levels to look at this. So we are told students of color will be helped by these cuts, but we have been hearing that is not the case. When i look across my classroom, which is always full, i have 25 students in a small ceramics studio, and i turned away at least that many that wanted to take the class. I see a lot of black hair. I mostly see black hair when i look out across my classroom, and some grey hair. We are an ethnically Diverse College and we know it. Nobody needs to even prove that. We know that is true, and yet t

Ill ask the chief to give his report first, and then we will call line item 2 next before we move on to the d. P. A. Report. So with that, i turn it over to you, chief. Thank you, president , Vice President , commission, and executive director henderson. I start off todays report with a summary of our crime trends for the week. As of january 13, our overall crimes are down 21 year to date.

Perspective as a parent to t. K. Alums at alvarado. With as many as 22 4 year olds and one teacher, its critical that teachers have support. From our experience, i absolutely agree with the teachers recommendation. When we began our t. K. Journey, one of my twins, our daughter, was easily writing letters, and while the other, my son, needed significant coaching and encouragement of feeling behind and he could not do it. It would have been impossible to meet the needs of 22 students in that classroom with only one adult. The proposal to staff all t. K. Classrooms with a dedicated paraprofessional for the full year has several benefits. It ensure the t. K. Teachers in meeting this complex range of academic and social needs. Second, providing fulltime resources also fosters equitiable relationships claal classrooms, and finally, the proposal also provides staffing consistency that enables t. K. Teachers to develop relationships with another adult vested in the childrens transition. Thank
