sure let's see so yesterday we had our first meeting in quite a while in person for the Parra Valley Education Foundation so now we have established a date for our retreat as a board in which we hope to find out what next year's gonna look like including fundraising strategies and programs we will be focusing on so I'm very excited about that I've also been meeting with several parents around bullying issue in the community and just gathering their feedback for the past couple months thank you I don't have a whole lot to report except I've been doing a lot of outreach to teachers all over the county and I think we've managed to capture a few good ones so I want to thank our HR department for doing such a good job of recruiting and I'm looking forward to our next school year thanks I don't have as much to say because it's summertime but I actually go to a actually have a board committee that meets all summer long and that is the migrant head start committee because it's a migrant committee obviously and this is their summer is their big migrant season so I will be going to meetings where much much larger meetings than we've had because we have our policy committee but this is with parents from every every part every section of the community our parent our parent committee which is a much larger committee which we which now instead of doing it in the second floor we'll meet in the school board room at the district so I'm gonna be doing that all summer the only thing I I did I actually went to Sacramento to visit my daughter and I just want to say this about it I actually did a couple days of solar which is what I do for work and in Sacramento and it was from 104 degrees to 107 degrees the whole time I was there so I was very very grateful to be from Watsonville thank you thank you well after living at 21 Rogers Rogers Street for the last 50 years I sold the house yesterday and and I and actually April 6 moved into Valley Heights which which the address is 925 Freedom Boulevard and if you check on the county elections you will see that I am still in the same district so that part doesn't have to change but I just wanted that out in front because there's some rumors out there that I know that I'm out in the area etc etc so thank you and help move 50 years of stuff come on over no no problem trusty or Sino trusty Acosta nothing thank you yes and I'm sorry I didn't say this earlier but I think as a board you know I think I'll speak for everybody that our hearts and minds are with the children that have been separated from their families at the border and as a community there are several efforts and some very brave people that are going down to witness what's going on including somebody who used to work in this district Andrew Goldencrantz there will be on June 30th a rally in March that will be held from 10 to 12 p.m. in downtown Santa Cruz to protest the current administration's inhumane and cruel treatment of immigrant families at the US border and so I would invite all of us to to come out wherever marches are held I'm sure there'll be one here in Watsonville because this is a national this will be a national day of protest so thank you thank you Kim so just a short report on PV PSA we are we're currently getting a new roof it's gonna take a little longer than we thought because there's bats in the in the belfry I guess you could say so that is is being done we were actually struggling to find funding for that because that's quite an expensive project and through a generous donation from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation correct right money they said here's $50,000 for your roof so that was really really fabulous we're really super happy with with that support and really in general PV PSA is doing really well in capturing grant funds so we can expand services for our students and families and we're keeping a really healthy fund balance which has not always been the case so we're really happy to see that so I just want the board to know that that was happening and then also recruitment efforts we are down to 40 vacancies this time last year we're at a hundred and fifty teacher vacancies so great work from the human resources leadership and staff and then also thank you Kim for mentioning about the separation of families at the border I don't know if anybody saw the op-ed by the superintendent sever County I read that and it actually triggered something for me Michelle had mentioned the fact that we're mandated reporters for neglect and abuse of children so I took that and I looked up the the addresses of three of the detention facilities one in Brownsville one in homestead Florida one in San Diego and I found the nearest child welfare office and I wrote letters to all three of them saying that I suspected child neglect and abuse in these facilities and I was asking for an investigation to be opened so it may not go anywhere but I feel like just that symbolic act hopefully maybe others would do it I actually put it on Facebook too so it felt good to do that I'm not sure if it's gonna make a difference but it really felt good so thank you for triggering that okay awesome okay great so that concludes my comments we're at item 4 4.1 approval of the agenda and I would ask anyone who makes the motion if we can move item 9.7 to right before 9.5 those were out of order on the agenda I'll move approval of the agenda moving item say it again 9.7 to before 9.5 we'll move item 9.7 before 9.5 all those in favor aye aye any opposed motion passes 7-0 okay and visitor non-agenda items 5.1 thank you approval of the minutes so we're at 5.1 approval of the minutes for the June 13th 2018 school board meeting move approval all second all those in favor aye any opposed okay you weren't here right okay so that was all in favor I got ayes any opposed we have two abstentions so 5-0-2 thank you 5-2-0 5-2-0 thank you Kim sorry okay now 6.1 visitor non-agenda items I think we have one Bill Beecher good evening I wanted to share an experience that I had this last couple weeks my neighbor's children a young a young girl who's I think in the sixth grade and her younger brother we're getting ready to go off to science camp and I was walking my dog and I was they were thrilled and I was thrilled for them because as you know I'm I'm from the science area and as I'm walking my dog I started thinking wow I live in a privileged area where probably most of the children go to science camp then I started thinking but what about the Watsonville area where people aren't as privileged they don't have the money how many of the kids down here are going to science camp probably not a lot I think that we and you specifically we need to find a way to improve how we send our kids the less privileged kids to science camp because as I've commented in the past kids do better at science and they do it math or English and so it's a hook it's a way of getting the kids interested in wanting to be at school because it's fun it's relevant so how can we do that that's a challenge do we find other funds and how do we do that without creating equity issues for the Aptos area of which we've had a problem with in terms of technology but now we've got a reverse situation where we need to do something for the kids down here second item talking about the children on the border one of the things that has not been reported well is yes there's 2,500 kids who've been separated from their families but there's another 10,000 who've come with no parents what the heck are we going to do with them that's even a bigger problem I disagree with separating children from their parents but we've got a bunch of children that have no parents and they're here what do we do about them thank you thank you bill no more speakers correct correct okay item 7.1 our 7.0 employee organization comments 7.1 PVFT do we have a representative no CSEA you could state your name too thanks Alejandro Mady and I'm the labor rep for CSEA well we were gonna save most of the comments for the item when we're gonna ratify for the ratification of the TA but I can quickly the members are on their way here because we just voted on the ratification so that's why I'm here first but you know I can speak quickly on their behalf and say that overall for 2017-2018 we had a really good and productive year with PVUST and in part it has to do with the relationship so we have with the superintendent and with the assistant superintendent for human resources where we've been able to whenever there was there were issues that came about we were able to talk about it and find solutions to those issues and I think that I can speak on behalf of the membership and saying that a lot of our members have feel very happy with with the way that the relationship has improved compared to prior years in the past and so I want to thank the board because in many areas you also supported a lot of the different things that we brought to the table and I think it was a very productive year and you know there's no secret that today the Supreme Court issued a ruling that is going to have a ripple effect throughout the country and what's important at the end of the day is not just the relationship that we have with the board and with the community but also the fact that what we do at the at the end is that we empower our members not just to speak when they're at work and to become leaders at work but also to be leaders in the community for them to when there's elections that they go out and vote when there's issues at work they go and represent their co-workers that is the essence of what the labor movement does and even though today you know we lost a battle it doesn't mean that we lost the fight you know it the fight continues we'll continue to fight and we hope that we're not saying you know come and join us in the fight but we hope that we can have your your support in in this in this upcoming landscape that we're facing so overall just want to say thanks to everyone it was a really good year and hope to continue that relationship so that's all I have thank you thank you thank you very much President DuRose can I can I get clarification PVFT is not here tonight yes that is the first time in my seven-year career on the board that has ever happened that has ever happened is everybody I hope everybody's okay I hope everybody's okay I mean that honestly I hope everybody's okay okay there's some CSEA people okay items 7.4 CWA do we have any I'm sorry PIVAM is 7.3 do we have a representative from PIVAM EVAM no CWA okay so item 8.1 approve measure L bond financial and performance report and this is a report by Joe so this evening we have our district auditors that will provide a brief overview of our measure L bond program and our financial performance audit report for year-end in June 30 2017 and I'm pleased to confirm there are no findings in our audit that handed over to our district I thank you for being here good evening I am the auditors for 2016 and 17 so I will be presenting this bond report today I also brought Amar over with me since because I'm six years with the district already according to the echoes we need to rotate it out so Amar will be the subsequent auditors and he is also with the VTD but he is auditing starting 17 and 18 fiscal year so after I presented this report I have Amar introduce himself for you to you so for 2012 measure L this is the result of the election in 2012 an authorization amount is 150 million as of today it's already issued 115.7 million has been issued this report the package there's two reports the first last two pages is the performance audit report and then before it's the financial statements the financial statement is presented fairly in all material respect there's no audit adjustment and there's no findings for the performance audit usually we go into further and pull out all the invoices or a majority of the invoices and we take a look at and see if the spending is according to the bond language and we didn't find any exceptions as well okay and I'll have any questions on the bond okay so I'll have Amar introduce you yes I have a couple of questions just for clarity sake I know what you mean but for the general public can you tell us exactly what you mean by there are no exceptions that means that we didn't find for the sample we selected we didn't find any expenditures actually is spent not in compliance with the bond language when the voters vote for the bond so if the bond say we are going to spend on this item and we make sure the expenditure is actually spent on what they say they are going to spend it's not on something unrelated thank you welcome thank you for having me that was actually here about seven years ago I will be the successor partner on this job I know this is a non-agenda item the agenda item that you have today is related to the bond basically it's an audit ensuring that the expenditures are in compliance with the ballot language ensuring that the district segregated the funds for prop 39 from the district funds and therefore you see a couple of opinions in there assuring the public assuring management that the funds are segregated and properly accounted for and the expenditures are in compliance with the ballot language with what the voters had voted on I will be the successor partner on the 2018 audit which would include the bond and the district as well and with that I'll be more than happy to take any questions I'm glad to be back thank you so so was this report going to be in writing and out in the public yes it typically gets posted on the district's website so it isn't publicly available on the district's website it doesn't get really filed with regulators this is just a requirement by law by proposition 39 that an independent auditor external auditor would look at the expenses and would look would look at the fact that the funds are segregated from the district's funds so so from a political nature with the upcoming elections there's there's sure to be some questions about whether or not we use the funds properly and what your report is going to say everything is okay that's correct the very last page of that report does say how big a sample size is and we do this on an annual basis so since the passage of measure 12 back in 2012 we've been auditing roughly 80 90% of those expenses I know it's a significant coverage that you see in there but when you talk about construction a few invoices would just give you 90% of the total of the annual expenditure amount but yes since 2012 we've been auditing the measure L expenditures and the measure L financial statements and they should be publicly available on the district's website okay so did you make this report to the bond oversight committee I believe it does go to the bond oversight committee would you speak into the microphone because we are televised no yes I did presented this report to the oversight committee in January back in actually back in February okay thank you and there are other areas we're going to be proactive is posting the report on our measure L website and then also looking at highlights for our bond program as we go through our year after our summer projects are complete we want to highlight the projects that are completed but then also promote the report of no findings in our financial audit so just want to make sure that we promote that and get the community awareness okay thank you very good very good news thank you thank you so will this report be shared specifically with the sites who had improvements with the measure L bond money yes so the report will be accessible to our school site councils community members and specific to the sites that have projects thank you you're welcome are there any other comments or questions okay so this was a report and discussion item only so no action is necessary thank you and thank you to the bond oversight committee for keeping us on track yeah and with no findings and I did notice those last two pages schedule of findings they're blank pages so that's what we want to see thank you have to list them up yes thank you very much thank you thank you okay so we're on to action items now this is item nine on the agenda and these first three nine point one two and three we at our last meeting we had public hearings where questions and and answers were were done and I believe was there any follow-up questions between then and now that anybody had about these items and trust you were seeing who and I I provided him an update at his requests okay except for that that was all that occurred all righty so item nine point one and I just scrolled down without trying to sorry is final approval of the 2017 through 2020 LCAP so I will entertain a motion I'd like to make a motion to improve our 2017 through 2020 local control accountability plan I second that motion okay so Kim and Maria all those in favor aye any opposed okay motion passes seven seven zero thank you nine point two is our 1819 budget adoption and I will entertain a motion second okay all those in favor aye aye any opposed aye who opposed okay motion passes six zero one thank you for spending some time with me I really want to highlight how closely these numbers are aligned with what we were presented with earlier in the in the year this has been this is the first time in my career as a trustee where the numbers really do add up and we always got I'm gonna use the word excuses even though that's necessarily fair well why there was such a swing in the numbers if we are successful and if we're being transparent with our our unions it's because they know that our numbers are real and I think that's really a compliment to your team so thank you very much the second thing I want to highlight is the increase in the retirement benefits at the city that the state is requiring us to pay I don't have those figures in front of me but it was a substantial increase every year and I think that I'm Michelle Michelle and I spoke and I know that there's been some work at the state level to talk about what the real to change those numbers because it is such a burden on not only us but every district in the state absolutely but I'm glad to see that it seems as if there is some movement now in Sacramento to make those to start to look at it to make those adjustments that's really powerful so thank you thank you and thank you to your financial team Joe and if Helen's here thank you hey Helen how are you I didn't see you back there this is really the best report I've seen in a very long time thank you thank you for mentioning that Jeff I agree 100% okay so the motion was passed 601 and on to 9.3 the self-annual budget and service plan also we had the public hearing at the last meeting so if anyone'd like to make a motion I'd like to make a motion to improve the annual self a budget and service plan okay all those in favor aye aye any opposed motion passes seven zero thank you and item 9.4 proposition 51 state allocation board authorized signatures and this is a report by CBO Joe Dominguez all right good evening so this evening I'm very excited to present ours for prop 51 the first step in the process is to get district authorization signatory authority for the superintendent and the chief business officer and so this is the first step in that process to submit our applications for state eligibility for both for new construction and modernization as a district preliminary figures show that we're it's approximately $30 million for PV USD so we're very excited once this is approved then we can submit our applications and compile the information necessary and submit that to the state in order to get the money right correct okay thank you are there any speakers to this item none okay any comments or questions from the board I know this item was of special interest I've been waiting for this one all right so thank you Joe so just to remind the general public proposition 51 was passed in it was in November 2016 I think and it's a state bond to match districts that already had my understanding already had some construction underway already had a school bond passed right correct so we're eligible for matching dollars which we had hoped for from the very outset from 2012 we had hoped for matching dollars but there weren't any from the state nor the fed so this was a really exciting thing proposition that passed so that we could get some matching dollars so I was under the impression that we could get about 49% of matching dollars so we are school bond is 150 million why are we only getting or why are we only eligible for $30 million there's different requirements for both new construction modernization the age of the building what we replaced it just varies per whether it's roof replacement portables the age or condition of the building is also a parameter we have to follow and other component of that is validating our student enrollment and it breaks it down by subgroup and so right now we're working in partnership with our SELPA and Heather's leadership and working on our SDC counts and so that it's also a contributing factor so all that in one is kind of the formula that the state uses that we can qualify and preliminary numbers are showing right around 30 million and but definitely the team that's working on this we're trying to get those numbers higher that's great so this will this also include our build out of the Pajaro Valley high school campus that's one of the things we're currently looking at with the state various sites do qualify and there's other doors that that is currently under review okay thank you you're welcome I can come back at a later point in time once we get our numbers solidified and be site specific and the dollar amounts that we're could qualify for that would be great that would be great my question Joe would is that money one time or is it ongoing it is one time and it's also throughout the state there are other districts that are pursuing the dollars so it's a limited resource so it's first come first serve for the districts that do qualify and so the sooner that we can get our applications in the better position will be and so it's it's not competitive but there is only a limited amount within the bucket of funding and so we're working really hard to pursue those but it's one time funding one time thank you you're welcome thank you that answer okay anybody else okay so this is an action item so I'll entertain a motion I'd like to make a motion to improve back in that motion okay all those in favor hi any opposed motion passes seven zero thank you now we're going to go to nine point seven and then from there we'll go to nine point five and this is public disclosure of collective bargaining agreement between PVUSD and CSEA and I believe Joe you're on again all right so for nine point seven our public disclosure a collective bargaining agreement with CSEA would like to confirm that our district can afford the tentative agreement in which is a reflect of 2017-18 3% which is broken down by 2% contingent on changes to health and welfare benefits on copays for visits and prescriptions and a 1% me to clause from 2016-17 with PVFT and then for 18-19 3% and then also an adjustment for longevity of a percent increase total but we are able to afford this package within our multi-year and as I previously mentioned in our budget presentation we're working as a district to enhance our internal efficiencies in our multi-year projections great thank you thank you do we have any speakers to this item okay and any questions comments from the board okay would someone like to make a motion I'll make a motion okay second I do have a comment okay go ahead we're on nine point seven yes so we got a letter from the COE correct detailing that we could afford this particular increase it did caution though however that we're cutting the budget fairly close to the bone so so I guess I would I've been a sitting president when the state took back money and we actually had to make some deep very deep cuts because we weren't prepared for that type of a budget so I'm just hopeful that we I know we've got an extra 3% for rainy day fund which I think will be very helpful however that only covers you know a couple of months of payroll so so I just would like us to as a district to be prepared if but the budget doesn't go our way in the next few years to figure out how we're going to what's the word yeah essentially yeah well meet our meet our promises to our labor unions yes so we're we're working very diligently internally as I mentioned in our budget presentation we have a our multi-year projections that are based on various assumptions some of those assumptions that that we can work on is our enrollment our average daily attendance our attendance recovery through Saturday school and there's other components within our structural deficit and that we talk about internal efficiencies how do we do enhance internal policies or procedures in process so we're working very diligently with the superintendent's office and our staff to address that so we are working very hard on that anybody else I also think and I because I think Kim brings up brings up a great point I also think that we're gonna need if that was to happen we would need the support of the union that we can come and say these are the realities and we need to work together to make this work I I understand that we work it we're doing the best we can to save money and and to cut to be more efficient but at the end of the day if we don't if our budgets are cut and we're transparent and have good reports as I just spoke about we're gonna have to go to the union say this is the reality so we're facing layoffs or whatever maybe it is a two-way street okay if there's none other no other comments I'll entertain them up or we already have a motion in a second right okay so all of those in favor I I any opposed motion passes seven zero thank you I like those seven zeros okay item 9.5 is the agreement with CSEA so now we can stop scrolling past it Leslie welcome Jonah I'm in my CSEA shirt I'm president DeRose board trustees Dr. Rodriguez it is great to see our CSA team we are called the Supergirls and a Superman and it is especially nice to see our Miss Letty back here and the the bargaining teams at PVUSD and CSEA were very announced that we reached the tentative agreement which was actually ratified today by 90% of the CSEA the teams were incredibly collaborative professional and creative enabling us to reach an agreement after only four meetings on 11 articles and it is critical that our superintendent doctor it was critical to our superintendent Dr. Michelle Rodriguez president DeRose our board trustees to demonstrate our deep appreciation for all of our classified employees contributions and dedicated work but at the same time remaining responsible fiscal stewards we believe that the agreement shows our mutual commitment to working hard to find a resolution that's respectful of our hard-working classified team and also while protecting the financial future of the district the highlights of the agreement include updating contract language to ensure compliance with changes to the laws and regulations and other significant elements as Mr. Dominguez had shared was a 3% salary increase for 2017 to 18 1% was a me too from 2016 17 with PVFT and 2% was contingent upon adjustments to the benefits copay and prescriptions and a 3% for 2018 19 as well as percentage increases to longevity stipends and this is part of the creativity that we had with CSEA a portion of the salary and longevity increases were offset by adjustments that they made to end the double coverage on medical benefits for cost savings of over $340,000 as well as adjustments to copay prescriptions for all of employees to cover the 2% salary increase for 17 18 and the articles that we agree to all of them article 3 organizational rights article 8 hours and overtime article 9 leaves article 13 evaluations article 14 health and welfare article 15 pay and allowances article 16 compensation for training for our drivers article 17 grievances article 18 year round education article 30 drug and alcohol testing for our transportation employees article 29 bilingual pay and article 32 the term which is a multi-year agreement from July 1 2008 to June 30th 2021 wow do we have any speakers to this item no speakers okay are there any comments or questions from the board you get to hear me twice tonight well just like China said our unit in our negotiating team is very happy with the way that negotiations were carried out we it's true we negotiated just for four sessions but part of the reason why on liking past years why we last year but also this year we were able to come to an agreement not quick but to an agreement at the right moment is because of the trust and the relationship that we have with the district I definitely agree with trustee or Sino when when it comes to the fact that transparency right it's a very important thing and one of the things that as a labor rip and I represent many districts around this region one of the issues that I struggle with is when districts are not or certain individuals are not transparent and and I do have to say that this year PB USD has shown a lot of transparency with the budget with the numbers which is what it has allowed us to come to a middle ground on a lot of the issues because we know that what you're showing us is the truth and so I think that a lot of different factors is what has led to us coming to the table negotiating with China the and coming to an agreement that both parties are happy with and it shows with the fact that we had record turnout today from the membership in the last week of June when half of our members are out of school they're not here but a lot of them showed up and 90% of them voted yes for the agreement so we're happy with where we are and we hope to continue on the same road so thank you thank you so much but he else does anyone have a comment let me let me real real quick I just want to remind the board that PV USD also supports an event that happens every year July 14th and 15th we do the Watson while relay for life that's hosted at Watson High School so we

Kaleem just to hear yes president Rose board trustees dr. Rodriguez reflecting our board's commitment to value the dedication and productive work of all employee groups both represented and unrepresented the following increases and benefit changes are being requested for our confidential and professional services employees whose compensation was aligned to CSCA reflecting the same total compensation salary increases as well as increases to the longevity stipends okay and are there any speakers to this item none okay and comments or questions from the board yes Kim no okay I'm in agreement okay then I'll entertain a motion so move I'll suck it okay all those in favor hi any opposed motion passes 6-0 1 and item 9.8 this is asking for approval of an MOU between Santa Cruz parent education nursery school right of so Cal Westside and Santa Cruz and the Watsonville Aptos Santa Cruz adult education and this is a report from Nancy Billisich but I don't see oh there she is okay hi dr. Billisich good evening if you recall I was here probably I don't know two months ago we had the Santa Cruz pens there was concern about it was number six and there was a word in there that said Santa Cruz so Cal Westside pens advisory board will not require or allow teachers to serve on the board of the pens and it goes on and I have since worked with the Santa Cruz pens we've worked with the pens we've met with Francisco we've emailed him talked to him and he has no concerns with this so we're asking for your approval tonight and do we have speakers to this item none are there any comments or questions from the board thank you go ahead on Nancy on item item 16 if you can turn to that I think it's on page page 3 yes a the reimbursement from pens to to the adult ed for these items salaries hours etc and I I don't see management fees in there and it seems and my question is when our managers have to go and go to Santa Cruz or whatever is that time away from our our own responsibilities here and is is our are the those hours countable as reimbursed amounts when we have worked with Santa Cruz there's no doubt about that but Santa Cruz has separate funding this is separate because they collect the fees from the parents and they that's why they reimburse us because they have the money we don't have like the school at Linscott the Watsonville co-op the parents come in and pay the adult school and we pay the teacher salary the pens do it differently but there is some oversight and the money can be taken out of the Santa Cruz we are funded part of us are funded through the Santa Cruz allocation of adult education so yes but I guess I'm asking our our managers getting reimbursed from them or from our own general fund for for the adult school I would say we're getting reimbursed from the Santa Cruz allocation so so what happens if the Santa Cruz allocations not enough this is this is the question that I brought up the last time where words that liability if all of these people work for the school district then if if that source of funding dries up then I don't want us to be on the hook without knowing about it you know I agree with you I think Helen will agree with you Christine Coda will agree with you Dr. Rodriguez will tell you not one dime not one penny goes to Santa Cruz so the accountability is there but we have some of our some of their money pays for our salaries from the the big allocation so so you know I still don't understand this whole concept if they have the money and they have the staff why don't they do it that was an agreement made between the two superintendents and it was I don't know what to tell you it was approved here and we're doing it well I think that if I had been more on more more on the ball then I think I would have been able to look at this a little bit differently than just and and then ask some of the questions that I'm asking now I know it's probably late but I don't want to be in in the spot later if we have to cut the budget for anything down the road so I just want to make sure that our liabilities are laid out there right now adult education budget is is pretty secure with the new budget the governor has given a little more allocation for adult education all the way around but anything can happen with budgets as you know and I think what would happen is if we see that we don't have enough funding for Santa Cruz then we'll start cutting positions in Santa Cruz I mean that's that's what happens okay so so let me just play that out for a minute if if a if a teacher from Santa Cruz has seniority and we have to cut employees will they be able to bump our own Watsonville people here that's a an MOU that was that we're still talking about I've worked with Chona a lot on that and dr. Rodriguez too of how it stated the paragraphs what was approved how it was signed off but we don't believe that our people would be in jeopardy so if I if I may so you know this agreement was done prior to my arrival so so we we did have this question the last time they are now our employees and separating from them at this point would cause much more damage than it would good at this point I will say that we fought to get the additional percentage that dr. Billisich is talking about so that is helpful adult ed is even with the raise which was a pretty significant raise for their staff they are living within their means currently we are going over the interpretation of that MOU the question about whether or not they are seen as two distinct service areas or if they're seen as one if they are seen as two distinct areas the benefit to that is that then if it came to layoffs those layoffs would happen separately and not combined there is some benefits of seeing it as one complete service area versus two separate but we're we're currently working through PVFT I will say that and we just received word even today that additional funding is going to be allocated even more above adult ed we just received another 23,000 I believe it was and so we're continuing to receive additional monies because the state is supporting it at this time we would go through the March 15th layoff process if we could not afford the program either side what but what what I think concerns me also is the underlying fact that this the the program seems to be a pro it seems to be its own district within the district that basically it says that the input that the teachers are employees of the school district we have never seen them the names on the on the list that we approve for payment and and if I asked you right now where are the where are the files for employees are the NR HR department or do they have their own HR department oh they're they're in PV USD the files are here in PV USD they are now but prior to us asking that they they were not when the employees came the files came with them have have they have had those names ever been presented to the board for payment for payment I think well I you know don't you don't you do payroll every month they're on those lists if that's what you're inquiring about they're in the warrant reports so and they're in there in the warrants I think what he's asking is are they included on the classified or or certificated employee reports that we get in closed session am I correct yes are they included in those lists yes I haven't seen them I haven't seen them listed as as so Cal or whoever they're from well there are employees so it wouldn't be listed as so Cal they would have a title what title would they have on that list when we do the certificated and classified personnel reports those are only changes like new on people coming promotions etc what we can do is submit a roster which adult ad has already put together for that that shows the combination of both sides they've already put together when I believe it was 24 teachers and three classified employees that came from Santa Cruz but we can go ahead and and send that roster for your review okay so on the certificated report where they would be listed that we get enclosed what would their title be I think that's what's what is the confusion is we we don't know how to see which ones they are it would be the job that they're doing for example on the certificated report they would be teachers and on the classified report it is just as we do with every other site okay so the office you know administrative assistant whatever their title is a designation yeah aside from what we typically do president president yes sorry so if you look at what we approved in closed session tonight they are on there so if you look at the actual document that is on for certificated it shows the new hires on there and there are two for adult education on there that it specifies the site and and so one they're they're on there so I think that satisfied your your question I'm I'm I'm still waiting for the clarification about management management time we have a director we have an assistant director how much time is being allocated to be responsible for this program and is that taken away from responsibilities of our larger program here so you will remember that we did bring forward several months ago now a coordinator that would be funded out of the Santa Cruz funds adult education funds it was pulled so or I'm not sure if it was pulled or or denied I believe it was high and so we still do believe that we are doing additional administrative work that should be covered by the funds that are Santa Cruz adult education funds and so at that time because of negotiations it was not seen as the right time to do that there also was questions about whether we could still afford it after this pens issue the pens issue has now been rectified meaning it's been fixed and we do believe that there still is the funding source out of adult education money to do a coordinator position which would allow us to continue to focus on our Watsonville and Aptos programs so it is encroaching I know we have no encroachment no that's not so what is happening is their time is being dispersed away from the Watsonville area it's encroaching on their time I'm sorry yeah yes yeah one of the one of the reasons that I'm asking these things now because I in Jeff's concern as is mine is that we lived through the budget cuts of a couple years ago and and when revenue when the general fund revenue is reduced then we have to make cuts along the way and if if 87% of our of our funny goes to salaries and benefits there's only 13% to run other programs and at the end if we have to encroach into that 13% then we then then I think the last time the time that we went through this we got a lot of pushback from adult ed and other activities of don't cut us you know it and it puts us into a bad situation because now it's one program versus the other and so I just want to avoid that you know and and I think it's realistic for us to think ahead and plan for the worst it hope for the best and plan for the worst so whatever it can recall we had funding at that time that was basically in the general fund and the board took a large portion of adult education funds to quote take care of the district in various programs however at this point it's very separate adult education has changed from what it was then so I don't think adult education would get into the general fund or I don't think you I don't think you can just take the money to fund other programs now because of funding is so different different but I understand I understand you're saying Nancy would you speak into the mic I'm sorry I understand what Nancy's saying about it about you know I think we took a couple million dollars from you if memory serves close to probably 3 but I also think we're sitting my personal opinion is this was a commitment that was made by our former superintendent who was acting a super who was a superintendent at that time so we we have a responsibility to see it through however it it is unsettling to me and I didn't think about this so maybe I'm still not on the ball but it is unsettling to me that we are we're bringing more people we're bringing more teachers on to our payroll if you as it as it were and yet we have people have been working in our Watson aptos schools for 30 for they're working here and if we had to layoffs some these people who haven't been with the district except for this agreement are now being are now being faced with would be would be faced with layoffs the end what concerns me is that whenever I hear we're talking about a contract say well we're gonna talk we'll talk about that later we're working on that I really would like to see these types of issues ironed out before the board votes on it again my opinion is that we the prior superintendent made a commitment I believe it was voted on by the board at the time so we need to follow through with that I think it's very fair to ask these questions and it's not just about adult education it's about a precedent moving forward in my opinion I think this is highly unusual I don't I don't know of any other district where it's happened because in fact in our district I don't know of any other I mean we're going past our district boundaries but that was an agreement with the two superintendents and the two boards and this is where we are and there are some things that are not clear that we are still trying to work out in the MOUs are there any other comments or questions Kim can you and I think I asked this last time and I'm sorry if I forgot but can you outline the benefits to Pajaro Valley Unified for having this collaboration or this MOU because we have we do have I don't know if jurisdictions the right word but there it we are now serving at all the adult school too in the Santa Cruz area and this feels like an offshoot of that what we now have you now have the entire County of Santa Cruz has adult education through you basically that's it I mean we have the whole the whole County and Santa Cruz would like us to continue to expand in various areas there like San Lorenzo Valley like Scotts Valley like Boulder Creek like Davenport I mean they have a vision too and it's our vision to try and continue to expand and so having these kids sort of under our umbrella is there any extra benefit that we get can we apply for extra nutrition dollars or extra ADA in any way or extra grants in any direction is there any true benefit to having more kids under our umbrella it's okay if the answer is no I'm just curious you don't have anything to say our superintendents at a loss for words I think I am too no it's just you know I mean we've expanded and people look to us for direction for the whole County it's very different our role is different but I don't honestly I don't know all of the ins and outs as to why Santa Cruz decided to do what they did but the two superintendents got together and that's what they thought was best for the County and and we were told here we go okay well I mean I support early childhood education I think these type of cooperative preschools are very important to communities and it's in particular to working parents who take advantage of adult school classes so I would actually support this today thank you that's that's what I have to if if nothing else I mean we're providing a community service right where where other school districts decided to opt out so I think for us it's I see you well I just a second I think for us it's it's good that we can provide this service but as long as there's no negative side for us go ahead well thank you on item item for Nancy I I read this and I think the lights went on for me and I said wait this basically it says said parent nursery is not nor is intended to be a the district operated child care center it has it has little literally nothing to do with kids this is this is a program through adult ed to be able to teach parents parenting skills right right right so it's so it's actually not a not a program for child care centers or for children it's for adults but it's for adults right and they bring their children there and they learn parenting skills through the adult education program it is a cooperative preschool yes yes so there are it is a preschool program yes it's just a lab yeah it's the lab yeah which is neat parent participation you know but you know you know you know it's getting late and you know I know that we wanted to be out here by 8 o'clock but but it's but it's no but but the real reality is that we're into business for children first and this program while it may be wonderful for parents to learn their parenting skills has nothing to do with our Watsonville children in a child care center not at all I so it's my opinion that if we are providing training for parents it's gonna result in students who are more thank you more prepared for school so I think there is a benefit it may not be direct but there there is a benefit to the kids because they're gonna reap the benefits from good parenting so if there is there more discussion I would like to call for emotion I was just gonna chime in and agree with the same thing that you just said I mean if we are helping to educate young parents to train up their children that benefits our school district and our community as a whole no because yes because if they are getting the skills to teach to their children and to bring their children up instead of being lagged but they're not our children they're not our families they are now that's a decision that's been expressed repeatedly that both past superintendents and passboards already voted it it's done deal we were it was the same conversation this is where we are today and as we've heard dr. Rodriguez say if you were to try to dismantle this and tear it apart today it would do more harm than good that's it I just want to say really quickly so I agree then Jeff I agree we probably need to hire that person that we screwed up on we didn't hire before since you have a lot more work to do in this whole county that this person can help in that part of the county to be able to so that you can work more on this part of the county so I would agree with it what you probably need to come back with that position to help benefit you in the whole county is what I would say thank you yeah so you need to do that and I think parenting co-ops with parents and children are the best kind of a preschool that you can have you know I work with migrant head start and they have this incredible parenting program with all these classes for the parents you know for the parents you know in migrant parent head start which goes through infants to five-year-old you know it's incredible what that what they're the work that they do with the parents I mean it's wonderful it's incredible so the fact that you in you know in the Santa Cruz part of the in Soquel are working together with the parents I think that's wonderful okay thank you thank you I will like to make a motion to approve this item thank you is there a second I'm a second okay all those in favor aye any opposed motion passes 7-0 thank you thank you so we're a good healthy board discussion is always a good thing right as long as it's not 11 o'clock at night we're at item 9.9 and this is approved student placement agreement with with Cal State East Bay and this is Dr. Colleen again yes thank you President DeRose board trustees Dr. Rodriguez this action item reflects our boards and our superintendents desire to build capacity promote professional growth and recruit and promote our employees from within our own district we're hoping to place future counselor and psychologists and student and student placement positions at our schools and kudos to director Suzanne Smith for working with Cal State University in East Bay to implement a student placement program with PBSD for clinical school counseling and school psychology and the term of the agreement is five years from May 31st 2018 to December 21st 2023 thank you are there any speakers to this item none is there any board discussion questions excellent yes it's a good thing I like to make a motion okay I'll separate this item so Maria and Karen all those in favor aye any opposed motion passes 7-0 thank you thank you Suzanne thank you thank you 9.10 approve internship contract agreement with Brandman University Dr. Colleen yes President DeRose board trustees Dr. Rodriguez kudos to our new HR certificated director Allison Neozawa and our HR team for working closely with universities and recruitment efforts to fill certificated teaching positions university and college interns provide a reliable and motivated source of new hires for our vacancies and the attached internship contract agreement with Brandman University continues our collaboration with that college in efforts to provide support and supervision of interns and the placement of those interns at our schools for the following credentials multiple subject internship credentials single subject internship credentials and education specialist internship credentials and the intern credentials meet the highly qualified requirements under the national no child left behind act which is now every student succeeds act thank you do we have speakers to this item none okay and are there any comments or questions from the board yes I have a question go ahead so is this like an online program or what type of program is brandman it's a combination they do some online and they do some classroom and and part of what the internship is is they need to do some practicum which is actual teaching and placement in classrooms okay so if we're recruiting the best and the brightest teachers to this to power valley unified I would like to see internship agreements with some universities that have a better reputation than brandman and I understand that for many people like an online program is the only thing they can do because they have to work but I'm just wondering we've got so many other amazing programs in the general area why can't we have something with UC Berkeley or Stanford or some other programs yeah well I think yeah we have something with CSUMB right for psychology or yeah and we have if you look at the consent agenda we do have student placement programs with CSUMB we have internship placement with them and UC Santa Cruz so it's a variety of different colleges that we're working with this is just a continuation for brandman there's Santa Clara I mean we have so many good universities right here around us I just would like to see a sort of up our caliber I mean I understand Cal State East Bay but I mean I don't know it seems like there are other universities that we could partner with that would give us really very high quality employees and we do partner with a lot of the CSU schools as well as UC Santa Cruz with these programs and we are working to continue to expand them just want to comment on something for the past six years that I've been on the board this is actually one of the first years I've seen so many collaboration going on so I know that was one of my wanted to make sure that I got done because it was constantly just the same two institutions I'm actually really glad to see that we're expanding and building those partnerships and hopefully we're able to expand even more so thank you for all the work that's been going into yeah thank you and so with that I would like to make a motion to approve this item I'll second okay all those in favor aye aye any opposed hey motion passes seven zero great and we're now at nine nine point eleven well timed because we now have our this is a approval of the program facilities and service agreement with PV USD and PV PSA and our executive director Erica Padilla Chavez just walked in so so Erica is going to have me start it and if there's specific questions that can't be answered then then we'll move forward with it so this is an agreement of course as we mentioned before PV PSA has been a significant partner with us not only on a daily basis with our students but also when we have times of needs whether it was with the immigration issue immigration issues with our parents or it was with death of students they always come and they really partner with us and provide us a level of support that our social emotional counselors are not licensed to do so our our social emotional counselors due to their credentialing they can do a certain level of support and then PV PSA is the ones that really come in and and sometimes do support not only of our students but also of our staff when we have a significant issue so this is the agreement for the upcoming school year and you can see that it highlights the seven areas in which they support so it's everywhere from the secondary student assistance program which they're in all the schools to our kids corner at the elementary the Valor program that supports all of our students that are highly at risk students like our our expelled students they do provide specific support to our charter programs our seasonal head start programs and also the Watsonville High School is contracting with them using site funds for some additional supports as well they also we do provide them our to pay program and so they do all the requirements and all the support for the tobacco use prevention education and then although it's reimbursed from them to us and they also we now do starting this year the first five Monterey County services which is in Pajaro which is a very needy population and so we're glad that we're able to provide services and then number seven is really what I'd mentioned before is we have full access to them for programs and activities when we need support and so Erica I call her frequently and every single time she comes to our aid and really provides us the staffing that we need and and so I am recommending the agreement so that we can continue the work that was started many many years ago right thank you do we have any speakers to this item none okay any questions comments from the board I just I just want to say I'm I'm so glad about the first five Monterey County services my district is Las Lomas and Pajaro and it's and it's been such a left out area of Monterey County I mean there is there is no support for anything for them I mean there you know they lack so much over there I mean really you know they've just like Monterey County just like you know we don't care about this section of our county for some reason they've just left them you know like so for me this is just really super important and I'm glad migrant education is doing to something something there too with the with the library there they're going to do kind of a program in Pajaro for the library there they're going to be doing you know I read about that too that sounds good too but yeah I'm so glad you were doing more for that part of the county that part of yeah Las Lomas and thank you Karen good evening my name is Erica Padilla Chavez and I'm the director of PVPSA thank you Karen for highlighting the work in Pajaro it's absolutely true that it is a region of our district that has a lot of complications namely due because it does reside in the jurisdiction of Monterey County we serve as that bridge between the river and we ensure that the mental health services that the kids need on that side of the bridge are able to be provided but this particular agreement I'm super excited about because this is a whole new way of PVPSA and the school district working together where we're really collaborating it's not just us providing the services and then the school district doing their thing we're really partnering the work with migrant Ed this is new and we're really excited about that because now we're going to bring in migrant Ed to that whole first five environment we'll get to build a relationship with them we'll get they get to know us we get to know them so we're really really excited data shows that when you start with the zero to five population there's probably going to be greater returns on our investment so we're really excited that there seems to be a lot more energy from first five California to invest in these types of programming thank you hi Erica thanks for all your great work so excited yeah I was curious have we ever received any funding from the is it the Pajaro health trust the Pajaro health trust yes well they funded PVPSA last year we got funded by them to provide emergency counseling support to students who needed counseling services because of the immigration fears yeah so remember how that really became a topical point last year we were able to just respond to kids who needed our support using that Pajaro Valley health trust funding they tend to want to spread the love around that's not that they have a lot of money to give so they tend to fund one agency one year and then they'll find a different agency the following year and I can respect that there's a lot of agencies that need support and so we're not funded this year by them but we'll reapply next year one of the things that I'm working on at Dignity is to improve our services for maternal health a lot of postpartum depression out there and I'm just wondering if you guys would consider doing a group for postpartum love to discuss that we could do lactation and postpartum but anyway that's a different we can definitely talk about that I'm happy to report I am a board member of dignity health we are starting to build a relationship with dignity health so it's interesting that you're bringing that up let's explore that would love to explore that actually there's a big push across the enterprise to do this and there's not really any services right now in South County population so that is putting it let's talk to make you well you know I'm a huge supporter right thank you so thank you for everything that you do and and I just want to remind people that the great work that they do with our students it actually contributes to them attending school more often they're better at school because they're getting the support that they need so this has a real ripple effect throughout our community and families are healthier kids are healthier and we we we can see the difference especially in our expulsion rates suspension and expulsion rates have a significantly dropped since the velour program has come into play so okay so I would like to I think I would like to make the motion second all those in favor hi hi any opposed motion passes seven zero thank you and our next item is approval of a special board meeting closed session and this is on the superintendent's evaluation this is something that the board we do on an annual basis so we are scheduling this for August 8th or August 8th so so I'd like to make a motion to add this to the can I ask one question first um what was the reason for having to create a special study session for this that it couldn't be conducted in closed session on the July 25th meeting our closed session agenda is oftentimes very packed and this is an opportunity for the superintendent to do sort of a mini state of the district show the work that she's done as it aligns with the board goals so it usually does take some time but it's a really good opportunity for the board and the superintendent to have those conversations and really look at the at the work product that's coming out of the superintendent's office but we do reconvene if needed after public session to close session if this is just one no but I'm meeting it's just one closed session meeting so we right but I'm saying if on the July 25th meeting if that wasn't sufficient time between the six and seven o'clock hour we do reconvene back to closed session yes after public session if necessitated so that was an option it's not typically how the board has done it so right so in the past we ran into that problem whether it is because more meetings really run late and so forth that we decided to do it this way to just to allow more time for the board to ask questions to give feedback and I think as the superintendent is our one employee and I think that we need to embed the time needed to ensure that she knows areas that she needs to improve on as well as areas that we're very happy with so providing that one-on-one feedback I think is very beneficial as a board of trustees she's one of our the only employee and I think that time needs to be dedicated is there any other discussion trustee is I would just I would agree with that I understand we can come back later but this is this is such an important piece of what we do as a board to really provide feedback to Michelle that to do it at 9 30 or 10 o'clock at night I don't think serves the district well we really need to car some time out sit down with her hear what she has say in terms of her achievements and then give her feedback in terms of what she did great and what she can do differently next time and so with that I would like to make a motion to approve this item second okay Jeff seconds okay all those in favor aye any opposed aye six zero one and this item nine point one three is approve a date change for a special study session that we have scheduled for November 28th I believe we're moving it now to December 5th because I believe that's the night before the CSBA conference in San Francisco and many of us need to get to the city to be ready for the conference bright and early in the morning so with that I'll entertain a motion to approve let's see I also have just one question on this one because of given the nature that we're in an election year and there could potentially be the makeup of a new board I just questioned that this was being put to December 5th instead of January when there's a potential that there could be a new sitting board so how I mean if it's really benefiting an outgoing potentially an outgoing board is there any other comments on that might be worth a discussion is there any reason why we could do it in January because in January we also have only one meeting what is the special study session about again refresh my memory student services and social emotional support I agree with George on that I think that if there is a new board sitting they could really for example frankly I'm not gonna you know I'll have five days left my term so I think there's an there's an opportunity for any new board members to sit and learn from this this may be it may be wise to it is wise to put this off for a month other board members I think I would agree with that too I'm okay with that a good good suggestion thank you okay so we're pulling it then is that correct well does the agenda we can't set January's schedule yet we do that in December right yeah so we will pull this item then and then the newly elected board or reelected will decide on the date okay yeah the only thing that I'll say is that these particular item this particular item student services and social emotional support is near and dear to my heart I feel like since I've been on the board we've made major changes to our policies and procedures regarding how we serve kids we used to be sort of a school to prison pipeline with all the kids that we used to expel and we've made like a gigantic change in that I think as a result of the board looking into it and and asking for something different so so while I'm in agreement with this moving to January I feel a sense of sorrow that I want you know potentially if I don't get elected that I wouldn't be there to to hear the presentation but can the public come anyway so so so is it the idea that we wait for the new board to come in to evaluate the superintendent is that no no no no no no no no we're on the next special study session Willie 913 oh excuse me I I was looking at the superintendent's evaluation no he raised so that I said that hold on just one moment oh okay okay so what I'm looking for then is a motion to remove the November 28th special study session okay a second second hey all those in favor hi I any opposed no okay so moving on to the consent agenda are there any motions or request for deferrals I was going to defer but I don't think he's here from migrant education he's not here right oh red shirt in the back oh there he is way in the back so what what number is that Karen you know I brought a little sheet that I was going to ask all these questions with and I lost the sheet let me find it I was going to what number is that Karen it's the one about the it's the one about the the library I don't know what number that is okay so we will pull item 10 10.4 yes 10.4 and with that item fold hey you like to make hold on Karen would someone like to make a motion to approve the consent without that item I'll move approval okay that's okay a second I'll second okay all those in favor hi I any opposed motion passes 7-0 okay Karen item 10.4 come here wow I didn't think you were here there you are I just wanted to ask you you know and and the PVPS Eric goes talking about how they're gonna collaborate with you too and just talk to me a little bit more how that program is gonna work in Colorado because that's my place it's my area too you know the work that you're gonna do there yeah Monterey County free libraries yeah that's through the pre-k program the measures program yeah we'll be doing that for quite a few years the we use the Pajaro library to be able to provide services to the Pajaro Valley to the Pajaro side of the the USD to provide pre-k services the we have a contract with the library to be able to have a pre-k services and as well as ESL services which were so that you work with parents too yes pre-k and yet through adult they they provide an adult that teacher that provides ESL services to adults as well okay and then but you also have a you actually have a preschool program yes and it's been happening for quite a few years yeah oh wow I didn't even realize that I'm so glad you're doing that the free it's like I said it's a forgotten area all right thank you so much okay we're doing that all right thank you okay thank you are there any other questions or comments yep just on some of the items but not for okay we're on the deferred now the next item I know I just wanted to say something about a couple of the deferred items it's just a comment quick one okay so let's pass this first okay okay so I have a motion thank you a second okay all those in favor I any opposed motion passes 7-0 and go ahead and make your comments this is my quick comments I was very happy to see that the contractors that we're using on our projects at Aptos junior high and Aptos high our local contractors so I want to thank our staff for ensuring that we're using our local contractors and labor thank you okay closed session we do not have to reconvene so we will go ahead and go to item 13 which is action on closed session trustee Osmondson yeah the one expulsion and then Maria will do the rest of the items I move to approve the recommendation of the administrative panel for a suspended expulsion for the remainder of 2017-2018 school year and the fall semester of 2018-2019 school year for 17-18 040 okay is there a second a second okay all those in favor I any opposed okay motion passes 7-0 trustee Roscoe yeah under item 2.2 I move to approve the

whose nine entries are polynomials of degree r. Then we're going to apply multipoint polynomial evaluation to each of those nine entries to compute m prime of 0, m prime of r, m prime of 2r, et cetera. Notice we're instantiating not at 0, 1, 2. We're instantiating it at multiples of r because m prime of 0 is equal to the product of m of 0 times m of 1 times m of 2, et cetera, up to m of r minus 1. OK, and then when we're done with that, we then have, on the order of square root of matrix, we have s matrices, which is roughly square root of p. They're all now honest 3 by 3 matrices over fp.  And so for that last step, we'll fall back to what we did in the first algorithm. We'll just do vector matrix multiplication. But now we're only doing, on the order of square root of p, vector matrix multiplications rather than doing, on the order of p of them. And then at the end, the last step is identical to the previous algorithm. Once we've computed the vector v times all of these matrices, we just pull out the third coefficient and multiply it by minus f, the constant coefficient of n, f raised to the nth power. And so this improves our complexity. This takes our linear time algorithm and turns it into an algorithm that runs in time roughly on the order of the square root of p.  The product tree had on the order of log p levels. At each layer of the product tree, we had something like square root of p log p bits of information. And when we do multiplication with something times log, something bits in it, we're going to get a log squared. And then we have a log, log layers in the tree is going to give us a log cubed. If that went by too quickly, don't worry because we're going to do the exact same analysis in the next algorithm in more detail. Now I should mention that you can save a log factor here by using additional information that we haven't taken advantage of. So our multi-point evaluation algorithm is we'll work for evaluating at arbitrary points. But in fact, we're not evaluating at arbitrary points. We're evaluating the integers from 0 to p minus 1, which form an arithmetic progression. And when you're evaluating a polynomial along an arithmetic progression, you can instead use a slightly different approach rather than just multiplying all these polynomials up the tree and then doing multi-point evaluation at the top. You can instead take an evaluation interpolation approach where you're actually keeping track of the values of your polynomials as you go and doubling the amount of information you're carrying with you at each step. But that algorithm is somewhat involved. And I don't want to try and go into the details of it. I'll refer you to the literature. The Boston Godree shows in a 2003 ANTS paper and they save a log factor. And in practice, this is the algorithm that everyone uses. But pretty much all of the square root p time algorithms for computing zeta functions, whether they're based on an average polynomial time approach using these linear recurrences or based on a Kedlaya's algorithm type approach using Monsky-Voschnitzer co-homology, the complexity bound that you get is all they're all taking advantage of this BGSO3 result to save a log factor. And they're using multi-point evaluation to do it. OK. All right, so let's take a quick look. I didn't mean to click on it or have it open. OK. At the algorithm. So this top function is implementing the multi-point evaluation approach. This first loop here is computing the product tree. It looks a little more complicated than it needs to because I'm not assuming that the number of points I'm wanting to evaluate is a convenient power of two. So this function needs to work where this sequence of evaluation points has arbitrary length. So whenever somebody writes it on the blackboard, they are very conveniently will choose the number of leaves to be a power of two. But when it's not, you need to make some minor adjustments. That's the only reason this code looks more complicated than it should. And then once you get to the top, excuse me, it's then reducing down the tree at each step. So you can see where this mod here is where it's reducing g modulo each of the children as it works its way down the tree. And then at the bottom, it knows it's going to have polynomials of degree zero, and it just returns the constant coefficients. And then the algorithm for running this recurrence using the multipoint valuation, the first part of the algorithm, so this section is identical up to here, is identical to the linear time algorithm we already saw. Where things change is at this point, we switch to viewing our matrix as a matrix over a polynomial ring. We pick our value of r. We compute our product tree. And to simplify matters, here I am going to simplify matters and actually just make r a power of 2. So this is not an optimal algorithm. And so I'm computing in this situation, we don't actually need to retain the entire tree. We're just going to pair entries up and compute the product all the way till we get a single matrix at the top, whose entries are polynomials of degree squared p. And then this next step, we're using the multipoint evaluation, applying it to all nine entries. So that's why there is a 3 by 3 instantiation here, where we're applying multipoint evaluation to each matrix entry, m sub i, m sub j. And then this line is computing the product of those matrices, of the multipoint evaluations. And then I'm running my vector, our linear recurrence, taking the vector and multiplying it times on the order of square root of p matrices. And then the last two steps are identical to the linear time algorithm. And I don't expect you to have all absorbed that in real time. I just want to at least walk you through it. So hopefully in your head, you can relate what you saw on the slide with the code, so that if you ever want to come back to it and really dig into it and understand exactly what it's doing, or maybe implement it in another system or in another setting, where maybe you're not working with 3 by 3 matrices, and maybe you're working with different linear recurrences, you have an example that anchored in your head. OK. Any questions on this algorithm before we move on to the average polynomial time algorithm? So now we're going to switch our perspective and imagine that our elliptic curve that was given to us isn't an elliptic curve over a finite field, but it's an elliptic curve over q with integer coefficients. It's defined by some square phi cubic polynomial f with coefficients in z. And we're just going to assume its constant coefficient is non-zero upfront. If it's not, the caller should fix it so it is, which is easy to do over q. We want to avoid primes that divide the discriminative f. Those are primes for bad reduction for the curve. And we're not going to worry about the prime 2. We know we can use an algorithm we've already developed to point count over f2. That's a lot of hard problems. So we're just going to focus on odd primes p divide the discriminative f. I'm going to use the same notation. I'm going to write h sub p of e to mean the Haase invariant of the reduction of e modulo p, just an abusive notation. And now we're going to take advantage of the fact that we set up our linear recurrence relation matrix m sub k so that its entries don't depend on p. So this matrix makes perfect sense over z. If the coefficients of f are in z, this matrix will live in z. And if we could compute all of the products of v sub naught times m sub 1 up to m sub n minus 1 modulo n for n running from 1 to n, we could compute all of the Haase invariants we want. So we would just do this by picking out the n's that are prime. And for those n's, taking this vector and taking the last entry, which I've denoted v sub p I'm using now. I don't want to have a double subscript of 3 n of p. So v sub p means the third entry of the capital v sub p. And multiply by minus the constant coefficient raised to the p minus 1 over 2. But notice now this is going to be a different p at each step. So we're running through all the odd primes that don't divide d up to n. So that's great. But it's not at all obvious how you would do this efficiently, right? I mean these matrices have integer entries. And if we're reducing modulo different moduli, but we just have a single sequence of matrices. And if we multiply them all together, the integers are going to get huge, absolutely enormous. OK. So how do we do this efficiently? And we don't want to compute these products for every n. We don't want to compute n products of roughly n things, because that would give us something that we're running time that's quadratic in our bound n. So what we're going to do instead is use what's known as an accumulating remainder tree. This is due to David Harvey, I think is at least the first person to write it down in this form and formally call it this. And so it solves the following problem. We're given a vector v. We have n matrices, capital n matrices, and we have capital n moduli. And our mission is to compute the product of our given matrix, sorry, this v0 is the same as should be v. We want to compute our given matrix v times the product of m sub 0 up to m sub n minus 1 mod n. Call that v sub n. We want to compute all the v sub n's for n running from 1 to n. And optionally, we'll see why we want to do this later, we'll also want to compute the product of the un-reduced product, not modulo anything, the integer product of v times the product of all these matrices. So how do we do this efficiently? Well, we're going to use product trees again. So we're going to compute a product tree of the n matrices, and we're going to compute another product tree of the m moduli. And then we're going to take our vector v, and we're going to reduce our vector down the tree. And at each stage, there's a single invariant that we want to preserve. We want our vector to be v times the product of all the matrices to the left. Because notice we're ultimately going to be reducing mod m sub n. And notice the nth result we want is a product of all the matrices that come before index n. So if our mission is to make sure that we have the vector times the product of all the matrices to the left, well, at the beginning, at the top of the tree, there's nothing to the left. We're at the very top. There's nothing sort of off to the left, because we're at the root of the tree. And in fact, as we go down the left side of the tree, if we just look down all the left children, enough of this algorithm is going to do absolutely nothing. It's just going to send our initial vector, which might be 0, 0, 1, all the way down to the leftmost child. Nothing interesting is going to happen. But whenever we need to descend to a right-hand child, now we have something to our left. And so we're going to take our vector and multiply it to our left-hand sibling. And at each stage, we're going to be reducing modulo the modulus that's at our point in the tree. And so rather than trying to write out a very complicated expression of indices, I've just tried to express this. Just imagine you have, at any local point in the tree, you have a parent, and you have two children, a left and a right child. And what do you do? You take your parent, and you just send it down to the left child. And all you do is reduce modulo the modulus at the left child. And to go to the right child, you take your parent vector, you multiply it by the matrix on the left child, and you reduce modulo the modulus of the right child. And you just keep doing that until you get to the leaves. And when you do, at the leaves, you will have precisely this vector matrix product that we wanted to compute at every leaf.


Hello everyone welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more today's topic is ghost teeth original odenture dysplasia which is also known as odentogenesis imperfecta which comes under third year oral pathology and A1 infestier dental histology so it comes along with amelogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta the first one was affecting enamel dentinogenesis imperfecta affecting the dentine and this affects both enamel and dentin so let's see what is ghost teeth or original odenture dysplasia ghost is it's nothing but abnormalities of enamel dentin and pulp so it is the etiology is basically unknown so it could be local trauma radiation hypophosphatacea hypocalcemia and hyper pyroxia so due to these reasons there will be abnormalities and enamel dentin and pulp so it is most commonly recognized at the age of tooth eruption that is between two to four years in deciduous and seven to eleven years in permanent teeth that is mostly the central incisor lateral incisor and canines so the ghost teeth or regional odenture dysplasia it is abnormal enamel dentin and pulp formation especially in the maxillary anterior teeth it can be seen both in deciduous and permanent dentation so let's see the etiology so it could be a local trauma or irradiation or hypophosphatacea hypocalcemia or even hyper pyroxia so what happens is there is abnormal formation of enamel dentin and pulp so it is most commonly recognized at the age of two to four years in deciduous dentition and seven to eleven years in permanent dentition so during this period the maxillary central incisor lateral incisor carions are erupting and it is most commonly seen in maxillary teeth or the anterior teeth so what happens is these teeth sometimes fail to erupt or if they erupt they show yellow formed yellow deformed crowns with a rough surface because it has very hyper plastic hypo mineralized hypo hypo mineralized enamel and dentin which is not properly mineralized so they are very easy to undergo staining and deformation so there will be a rough surface and there will be a stained yellow stained deformed crowns so sometimes they won't erupt at all if it erupts it shows in this way so the affected tooth have very thin enamel and these teeth appear as crumbled that is because of its peculiar radiographic feature it shows abnormal radiolucency that is marked reduction in the radio density so the abnormal radiolucency makes the tooth as a ghost appearance that's why it's known as ghost teeth because the hypo plastic hypo calcified dentin and enamel with large pulp chamber makes it a ghost appearance there will be big pulp chamber very thin enamel very thin dentin makes it a ghost appearance that is why it's known as ghost teeth and it is regional odendoplasty and it is affecting the particular region and the odendo and displaceous malformation or improper formation of cells displaceous multiplication of cell so the name itself gives a clue so most of the diseases, syndromes, cysts everything gives a clue we get a bit of answer from the title itself so that is how it is becoming a ghost teeth a large pulp chamber with very thin enamel and dentin so in this case the roots will be very short and poorly outlined and there will be localized arrest in tooth development and it is most commonly diagnosed by the clinical appearance and radiographic appearances there will be irregular shaped brown discoloration and radiographic we can easily see in the ghost appearance of tooth and management either we can do extraction of these teeth and undergo a prosthetic rehabilitation and also respiratory procedures such as root canal treatment can be done so it depends on the patient's clinical profile so that's all about ghost teeth or regional odendo displacia or odendo genesis imperfecta so this is odendo genesis imperfecta so dentino genesis imperfecta affecting dentin amylo genesis imperfecta is affecting enamel and odendo genesis imperfecta is affecting both enamel dentin and pulp giving a ghost teeth so I'll come up with a new session to understand more thank you


Caribbean Nutrition Day is observed every year on the 1st of June, followed by a week of activities. The theme for this year is healthy eating, active living. Be a good label detective, read it before you eat it. Aggressive marketing of unhealthy products can and has dramatically changed the way people eat. Replace traditional diets with unhealthy diets that are high in sugar, fat and salt. Consumers have the right to know what is in their food, a right to information. Nutrition labels can educate consumers about the nutritional value of the foods they purchase, thereby empowering them to make healthier choices. The World Health Organization also considers nutrition labeling to be a key policy option for promoting healthier diets. The Caribbean, including St. Lucia, is making strides towards introducing front-of-package nutrition labeling on packaged foods. Typically, nutrition information is placed on the back of food labels where consumers do not usually pay attention. The front-of-package labels will present nutrition information on the front-of-pre-package foods in a clear, simple and easy-to-read format. This will highlight critical nutrients, including saturated fats, trans fats, sugar and sodium. These critical nutrients are the drivers to diet-related, non-communicable diseases which are the leading cause of death, disease and disability in the Caribbean, including St. Lucia. Overweight or obesity, high blood pressure and high fasting blood sugar levels are the top three risk factors for mortality and mobility in the Caribbean. All three risk factors are associated with unhealthy eating, exacerbated by excessive intake of sugars, unhealthy fats and salt. Strategies to combat those risk factors include the development of octagonal nutritional warning labels on food and drinks. A study done in front-of-package labeling found that octagonal nutritional warning labels performed the best in helping consumers choose healthier food because they were the easiest to understand. They allow consumers to be aware of food or drinks that are high in sugar, sodium or salt, saturated fats and trans fats. Front-of-package warning labels represent one of the key policy tools of a comprehensive strategy to improve our current environment, thereby increasing consumer awareness on the nutritional qualities of packaged foods and purchasing decisions. Octagon-shaped front-of-package nutritional warning indicates if a product is high in critical nutrients. It allows consumers to quickly and easily identify products with unhealthy nutritional contents. They are recommended by the World Health Organization because they are effective and efficient in communicating to consumers at the point of purchase and encourages healthy diets. A number of countries have implemented this to address the growing global burden of diet-related non-communicable diseases. It's time to take action and improve our eating habits, reduce our non-communicable diseases and by extension our economy. Thank you.
