12/07/2021ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 2021 The regular meeting of December 7, 2021, was called to order at 3:01 P.M. in the Council Chamber of Anaheim City Hall, located at 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard. The meeting notice, agenda, and related materials were duly posted on December 3, 2021. MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Stephen Faessel, Jose Diaz, Gloria Ma'ae, and Trevor O'Neil. Council Member Avelino Valencia joined the meeting at 3:08 P.M. and Council Member Jose F. Moreno joined the meeting at 3:36 P.M. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Jim Vanderpool, City Attorney Robert Fabela, and City Clerk Theresa Bass PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WORKSHOP: None D159 WORKSHOP: Rebuild Beach Mayor Sidhu reported Beach Boulevard is located in the heart of west Anaheim and needs rebuilding. He advised he has made the long-term redevelopment of Beach Boulevard a top priority. He noted rebuilding has begun at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue and would work its way to downtown in the coming years. City Manager Jim Vanderpool advised the rebuilding of Beach Boulevard has been a collaborative effort among several City departments. He reported a one-year plan, developed over several months, would be presented with the same concept to be taken to other corridors of the City in need of assistance. Planning and Building Director Ted White spoke of the history of Beach Boulevard as a connector from inland areas to the coastline, filled with roadside attractions, many of which have grown dramatically over the years like Knott's Berry Farm. He advised as times have changed, including the construction of new freeways, Beach Boulevard has experienced difficult times for the past several decades, citing the abundance of outdated motels as an example of the changing uses of the thoroughfare. Mr. White reported there is a substantial amount of crime in the old motels, including drug dealing, illegal gambling, and prostitution, leading to frequent shootings and a decreased quality of life for neighbors. He advised these illegal activities, and others, are growing, particularly prostitution, human trafficking, and illegal drugs. He noted issues around methamphetamine and fentanyl are particularly prevalent along Beach Boulevard and growing rapidly. He reported calls for Anaheim Police Department (APD) and Anaheim Fire & Rescue (AF&R) service on Beach Boulevard between Orange Avenue and Ball Road have nearly quadrupled since 2017. He advised the need for APD and AF&R to utilize Naloxone (Narcan) for drug overdoses is also rapidly increasing in this area. He reported a successful three-week drug sting in November on Beach Boulevard that netted 144 felony and misdemeanor arrests, 12 infractions, three (3) narcotics sales, four (4) recovered firearms, and two (2) stolen cars, but did not solve the larger lingering issues. Mr. White reported City Council adopted an Economic Development Initiative in 2016 to encourage revitalization in west Anaheim, leading to the 2017 Beach Boulevard Specific Plan (BBSP) and its City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 2 of 20 long-term blueprint for redevelopment with new residential and commercial opportunities. He added studies show new housing in place of old motels will attract commercial opportunities that area residents have long requested. He added the construction of two projects at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue, including 39 Commons, is a sign of what is to come for west Anaheim. He reported the City agreed with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) this past summer to relinquish the Beach Boulevard right-of-way to the City, providing Anaheim with opportunities to beautify Beach Boulevard and facilitate investment. He added utility lines are being placed underground while new street lights are being installed for both safety and visibility. He reported APD has increased its patrols and special enforcement operations along Beach Boulevard, including the addition of high -visibility cameras to help deter crime. Mr. White reported staff is proposing a one-year program to make substantive improvements to the quality of life on Beach Boulevard and surrounding neighborhoods. He added it is an interdepartmental effort with community stakeholders. He stated the goals include improving and phasing out problem motels, addressing human trafficking, drugs, and homelessness, and reducing crime, blight, and other quality of life issues. He added proactive enforcement would be employed for problem properties and businesses to hold the property owners accountable for meeting community standards. He added the City recently hired a prosecutor to be dedicated to the program. Mr. White stated staff is also recommending a new commercial improvement program to encourage investment in the improvement of buildings. He added the proposal is for $1,000,000 in Community Development Grant Funds to launch during the first quarter of 2022 for assistance with environmental, design, and construction costs. He added the City is also intending to look at properties to target for potential market -rate or affordable housing, either through City acquisition or in conjunction with private developers. He added the program would also include community engagement and educational events based on ones with have been successful in neighboring jurisdictions. He stated the program would also focus on community investment, noting a proposed landscaping enhancement at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Rome Avenue. Mr. White reported staff is hoping to start the project in January 2022 and have quarterly reports for the Council. He added one goal is to potentially replicate it in other areas of the City. Police Chief Jorge Cisneros stated the APD's priority is to address criminal activity and safety concerns through prevention and enforcement. He stated the proposal is a great example of the synergy created when departments work together. He noted today has focused on enforcement but noted the City has put many dollars into prevention and intervention. He stated the City has done a tremendous job of community governance with departments working together. Police Chief Cisneros reported the APD would continue to use the overtly visible cameras and license plate readers on Beach Boulevard, along with APD officers and specialized units. He stated the APD has been working hard and crime is down overall in Anaheim compared to 2020, but Beach Boulevard remains an area of particular concern. He expressed his hopes for this collaborative effort to combat the area's issues. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu commended the report, noting when he campaigned for Mayor he told west Anaheim residents they would rebuild Beach Boulevard. He cited the 39 Commons project as evidence of this commitment. He stated that in 5 to 10 years, Beach Boulevard in Anaheim would look similar to what Mr. Vanderpool helped to achieve during his tenure in the City of Buena Park. He applauded the Public Works Department for working with Caltrans to take back Beach Boulevard and Anaheim Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee for his work in putting the utilities underground. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 3 of 20 Council Member Diaz advised improving Beach Boulevard is the main reason why he ran for office. He stated the presentation is inspiring and would inspire developers to invest in Beach Boulevard and west Anaheim would be a magnet. He thanked staff for their groundbreaking work on how to improve the area. He thanked Mayor Sidhu for his support and for keeping his campaign promise to the area. In response to Council Member Diaz's inquiry, Mr. White advised staff has discussed incentives for development and ways current good businesses can feel engaged and empowered to work with the City. He noted the APD's Business Watch Program invites businesses to be a part of the solution. He added they also want to do some marketing and branding for businesses and property owners who want to be a part of this rejuvenation. In response to Council Member Diaz's inquirer, Mr. White stated the Community Services Department has been working closely on these plans so the City can build on existing relationships with the west Anaheim community. He added there have been many continually engaged people from the 2017 BBSP's creation and this outreach effort from the City would continue. He added they want Beach Boulevard to be an asset to the surrounding neighborhoods and a point of pride for them. Council Member Valencia expressed his full support for the revitalization of the Beach Boulevard corridor. He requested staff provide information on how this program could be incorporated into the Euclid Street and Anaheim Boulevard corridors along with Central Anaheim. Council Member Ma'ae expressed joy at the overdue improvement of Beach Boulevard. She commended the intended outreach. She requested details on future outreach meetings so District 2 residents could participate. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White stated he was unaware of any active tracking being done by the City of current rent levels to ensure current residents could still afford a gentrified west Anaheim. He added there are ways the economic development staff can look at historical rental rate trends. Council Member Moreno requested staff baseline average rents in the area and track them. He cited the redevelopment of downtown driving up rents to some of the City's highest, displacing historical residents. Mr. Vanderpool noted much of what they are focusing on is better enforcement of a criminal element bringing everything down. He added they are looking at bringing in market -rate housing along with affordable units. He added some of Council Member Moreno's concerns are longer -term than this one-year program would address. He stated the focus is on riding the community of a criminal element so they can succeed. Council Member Moreno expressed concerns about long-term residents and small businesses being priced out of a redeveloped west Anaheim and tracking the changes in rents to help prevent excessive gentrification.

PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items. except public hearing): City Clerk Theresa Bass reported that a total of 10 public comments were received electronically prior to 5:00 P.M. related to City Council agenda items and matters within the jurisdiction of the Anaheim City Council. [A final total of 11 public comments were received electronically, distributed to the City Council, and made part of the official record]. — See Appendix. Mark Richard Daniels noted Council Member Diaz lives on the corner of Beach Boulevard and Rome Avenue where there was discussion of improving landscaping during the workshop and stated this should have been pointed out for the record. He stated the homeless situation along Beach Boulevard needs to be addressed along with the drug problems. He stated former Council Member Denise Barnes started the push to redevelop Beach Boulevard. He added he is in favor of revitalizing Beach Boulevard if the drug and homeless issues are addressed. He requested the Council agendize the Little Arabia designation and there be a festival on Brookhurst Street similar to the Meet on Beach event. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 5 of 20 Scott Turner stated he is homeless and called for a walk-in shelter as an alternative to the unresponsive CityNet. He stated the streets are dangerous and he has been assaulted while living on them. R. Joshua Collins stated he met Mr. Turner earlier today in John Marshall Park and he did not get a response when he tried to call CityNet. He called for walk-in shelters and stated they should not be a problem if the City manages its money wisely. He called for more affordable housing. He cited a University of California at Irvine study showing it is cheaper to house people than leave them on the street. He called for a better homeless solution than CityNet. He urged the Council to move quickly with winter weather approaching. Mike Robbins stated the average vote is bought with $22 nationwide but it is $150 in Anaheim. He called for better accounting of how well CityNet performs. He wished the Council the best for the Christmas month. Jeanine Robbins reported that two decades ago crime was rampant in the Ponderosa neighborhood so the Police Department banned all parking from the neighborhood streets. She noted how inconvenient this was to residents but the City would not make changes, even years after the crime dissipated. She added she and her neighbors battled and finally got parking returned to the neighborhood. She called on the Council to recognize Little Arabia for the gem it is and requested the designation be agendized for the next meeting in time for Christmas. She reported getting no responses to repeated calls to CityNet and the CCRT and the only people who would get something done on the streets is through Code Enforcement Administrator Sandra Lozeau. She called for better auditing of CityNet's performance as well as for a walk-in shelter, especially during the winter months. Paul A. Garcia stated he almost hit a street flower vendor with his car and added unlicensed businesses have gotten out of hand. He stated the City should be collecting taxes on them. Bob Donelson stated December 7 should be a day to honor veterans and not have a Council meeting, noting the City of Garden Grove pushed their meeting to December 14. He believed the Council Members to be hypocrites claiming to respect veterans and then disrespecting them by holding the meeting on Pearl Harbor Day. He added he rarely agrees with anything any of them stand for other than Council Member Moreno and the public comments are almost always negative but there is never any follow-up from the Council. He commended the responsiveness of City staff. He stated the majority of citizens, himself included, do not have much faith in the Council. He called for a new direction and expressed hopes the people of Anaheim would vote out each of them who is up for reelection in 2022. He expressed disappointment with the low sales price for Angel Stadium. Amin Nash, Arab -American Civic Council, asked City Council to agendize the designation of Little Arabia. He stated it is an ethnic magnet or anchor attracting people who benefit from the agglomeration economy. He stated it is an area where different Arab nationalities come together to offer a communal sense of belonging. He asked the Council to consider the people of Little Arabia and all of west Anaheim in the new year. Robert Mirshafiee stated he has concerns about being denied access to areas of City Hall and the harassment he has received by the security staff. He stated he has a complaint about a false police report and false arrest on February 3. He stated it is odd others are let into the building without going through the security process but not him. He stated this was discrimination based upon his disability. He stated he was arrested while walking back to his car from a vaccination site because he asked for the names of Anaheim Police (APD) officers. He stated the City Clerk's office has received his City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 6 of 20 complaints and expressed hopes they have been passed on to the Council. He stated he spoke with APD Chief Jorge Cisneros earlier today and believes he does not know the APD policy manual. Wes Jones stated December 7 is a solemn occasion in his family with one uncle killed at the Battle of the Bulge, another shot at the Battle of Anzio, and a third uncle permanently disabled by a disease caught in the Pacific theatre. He commended his uncles' patriotism. He stated the Council is missing an opportunity with Little Arabia, as it could be a destination for the City to publicize and add to its toolkit to bring local tourists into the City and make the visits of global tourists a little nicer. He added it would cost the City nothing. He reported the City of Fullerton just built a new parking garage to help people eat and shop in its downtown and called for similar development in Anaheim. He called for walk-in shelters because so many homeless, such as alcoholics, drug addicts, and the mentally ill, cannot be served in the existing City shelters and are the most likely to make problems for other citizens. Karim Ayoub stated he is a business owner on Brookhurst Street and is the founder of the Arab - American Music Awards. He asked Council to designate Little Arabia. He reported hosting a concert recently drawing 2,000 people to Anaheim and specifically the Little Arabia area. Aneesah Muhammad encouraged the Council to designate Little Arabia, calling it a welcoming cultural and business area attracting people from all different backgrounds. She stated it is a place to feel at home and not just a place to eat. She questioned what it would take to get this on the agenda and spoke of the silence they have received from the Council. She encouraged the Council Members to visit the area and discover why it is so special. Vern Nelson stated the proposed $1.4 billion Poseidon Desalination Plant in the City of Huntington Beach would negatively affect Anaheim both environmentally and through raised water rates. He called for the matter to be agendized so residents could hear the Council's thinking. He reported Mayor Sidhu telling him years ago he has serious concerns about Poseidon yet continuing to vote for it as the City's Orange County Water District representative. He stated the Council should pass a resolution opposing the plant for its impacts on water rates, greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts on aquatic life. He called for the Council to publicly discuss Little Arabia so residents can hear their thinking. He questioned why the Council would not want to help tourism in a neglected area of west Anaheim and reported Anaheim would be the only city in the county with a designated Little Arabia. Bryan Kaye expressed disbelief with the Council Members for promoting the APD officer who addressed him and others with a racial slur. He criticized City Council for asking him not to use the racial slur, treating him poorly, and denying him services. Kenneth Batiste reported the City is $1.5 billion in debt, an increase of $1 billion under Mayor Sidhu. He criticized the large sums of money given to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim First, and Visit Anaheim; along with having private security companies patrol neighborhoods even after the APD received a large raise. He believed six (6) of the seven (7) City Council Members are backed by Disneyland financially. He questioned if the Council Members are scared of the Arab -Americans because of its aversion to designating Little Arabia. He called for City Council to show more love and heart to all of its residents and stated the Council Members cannot claim to want to help the homeless without offering walk-in shelters. He urged City Council to do the right thing for the people. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 7 of 20 CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE: City Manager Jim Vanderpool reported the City Clerk's Office has concluded a second round of Redistricting Community Meetings where residents provided input on draft maps submitted prior to the November 2nd public hearing. He advised residents are encouraged to submit comments, questions, or concerns about any of the proposed draft maps or submit their own draft map proposal. He noted the deadline for submitting draft maps and comments is December 30'h to allow all input and maps to be considered at the next City Council Redistricting Public Hearing scheduled for January 11, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chamber. He advised for additional information, residents can visit Anaheim Redistri, or contact the City Clerk's Office. Mr. Vanderpool displayed photographs and shared that Anaheim Public Utilities completed its 71h year of participating in a student-mentoring program offered in partnership with the Anaheim Union High School District. About 30 students from Loara and Katella High Schools attended sessions that provided assistance with resume building, mock interviews, tours of utility facilities, and soft skills development. As their final project, students presented about their career goals and what they learned through the program. Mr. Vanderpool stated the Community Development Department was pleased to report that all funding has been secured for the proposed affordable housing development at Anaheim and Midway. An application for critical State funding, 9% tax credits was submitted in July 2021. The proposed development calls for 85 new units of family housing. Just before the Thanksgiving break, the City was notified by the State Tax Credit Allocation Committee that the Midway project has been awarded an allocation of credits worth $20,900,000, which represents 47% of the total development cost. He noted the Midway development is critical to the City as it represents an important public investment in a historically low-income community and builds upon revitalization efforts along Anaheim Blvd. This stretch of Anaheim Blvd. includes new developments such as the Radisson Blu, a luxury hotel consisting of 326 rooms, and 100 West, a new market rate community being development by Toll Brothers. The affordable housing development at Midway will ensure that low-income families are included in important revitalization efforts currently underway. The site will be developed by National Core, an expert affordable housing developer.

END OF CONSENT CALENDAR: AGR-11682.E 15. Approve a Second Amended and Restated Exclusive Negotiation Agreement, in substantial form, with Greenlaw Development, LLC for a future development on the southeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road to extend the term of the agreement for an additional 12 months; and authorize the Director of Economic Development, or designee, to execute and administer the agreement. Director of Economic Development Sergio Ramirez stated the item is a Second Amended and Restated Executive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Greenlaw Development, LLC for future development on the southeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road. He stated the site is 8.5 acres and is a former Redevelopment Agency property. He added the six -parcel site was assembled over several years and the developer has secured an option for the purchase of a 1.5-acre adjacent site, potentially creating a 10-acre project site. Mr. Ramirez reported the City and the developer have been working to bring forth a mixed -use development project with a 180-room hotel, 6,000 square feet of retail, and 160 mixed -income residential units, most of which would be market -rate with an affordable component. He added there could be a larger affordable component if the extension goes forward. He reported the project and its entitlements are expected to go before the Planning Commission in Fall 2022. He stated the pandemic has delayed the project but the developer has continued to work, performing technical studies and designs required for the submittal. Mr. Ramirez stated the ENA would provide the developer with 12 months for negotiations. He added the ENA is not a definitive agreement and staff would bring forth a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) in late 2022 with complete project details, including the economic structure. He City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 11 of 20 added the extension would provide the developer time to do their due diligence as the City is selling the property in "as is" condition: He stated staff recommends approval. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu stated both parties continue to negotiate in good faith and he expressed his support for approval. Council Member Moreno stated he requested additional information via email and thanked staff for sending him the requested documents for review. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez stated the ENA helps be developer - friendly so they can more properly assess an identified site of interest, particularly a former Redevelopment Agency property. He noted the City and developer have been negotiating through the pandemic. He added the ENA gives the developer the sense the City is a good faith committed partner to seeing the project through. He added he does not see too many disadvantages in this case as the City has assembled this site over years and staff believes this project would be consistent with the area along the Anaheim Boulevard corridor. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez stated he is unaware if Greenlaw was the original developer of the Midway project but City Manager Jim Vanderpool confirmed they were not. Council Member Moreno commended the developer on the Radisson Blu, a luxury hotel with no subsidies on a parcel the City was unsure what to do with. He stated the disadvantage of the ENA is pulling the lot off the market for a year at a time when real estate is booming. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez confirmed the City could not entertain any other bids for the site for a year if the ENA is approved. He added the Redevelopment Agency envisioned a big -box retailer for the site and noted the City negotiated with Walmart Inc. for a Sam's Club. He stated it is a key site in a prominent corridor and the City has a project with a hopeful agreement by the end of 2022. He added if the property went on with a Request for Proposal, it would be three years before groundbreaking. He added one reason for staff's support is the project's timeline would take advantage of the high real estate market. Council Member Moreno stated the project seems consistent with the strategic plan being discussed for the Anaheim Boulevard corridor but noted the plan is not yet completed and he wished to honor this planning process. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Mr. Ramirez stated part of the entitlement process would be a General Plan amendment allowing for input to the Planning Commission from residents and other area stakeholders. He stated this is the best recommendation staff could make at this time for not knowing how everything would play out over the next year. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Mr. Ramirez clarified the Anaheim Housing Authority holds a note for $7,200,000, which would be reimbursed when the property is sold. He noted the next 12 months would allow an opportunity to refine the project, potentially with a more elaborate affordable component. He added that if this were not the case at the time of the DDA, the Housing Authority would be able to identify a housing site. He confirmed a potential alternative site for the affordable component has not been identified because there may still be an affordable component on this site. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 12 of 20 Director of Community and Economic Development Grace Stepter clarified the Claudina Street sites referenced by Council Member Moreno were acquired with affordable housing funds because it was deemed appropriate for affordable housing as the site was being envisioned. She clarified how the Housing Authority would be made whole if the affordable component did not happen. She confirmed Mr. Ramirez's comments that the visioning for this potential $7,200,000 site continues. She noted there are larger issues with the Successor Agency site, including some significant contamination. She stated the most likely scenario is the Housing Authority would be made whole at the time of purchase but environmental issues have caused some pause. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Ms. Stepter clarified they knew the exchange site had been previously used commercially, but the City cannot know the full environmental situation until it gets down into the land itself. She stated most land is contaminated and it is only a matter of to what degree. She confirmed, as of the moment, the City owes the Housing Authority $7,200,000 based on the previous Claudina transaction. She clarified the Housing Authority and Redevelopment Agencies were sister agencies and likely would not charge the other interest so the City and Housing Authority likely would not do this. Mr. Ramirez stated he could follow up on this but he did not know for sure. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Ms. Stepter clarified the majority of the site was not a Housing Authority site but rather a Redevelopment Agency site. She clarified only the Claudina Street sites were Redevelopment Agency sites where affordable housing was considered making them Housing Authority sites. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Mr. Ramirez reported the Redevelopment Agency was considering a redevelopment of the site when economics changed and big -box retail was no longer viable on the site, which is the starting point of this proposal. He confirmed a mandatory affordable housing component could be at the direction of the Council. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, City Attorney Robert Fabela confirmed passing the ENA tonight did not obligate staff to make mandatory affordable housing part of the negotiations with the developer. He added this could always be done later, or tonight with direction from the Council. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez clarified where they are at in the General Plan amendments and Strategic Plan at the time of the appraisal would affect the value of the land. He stated the appraisal conducted by the City is more than 12 months old so it is now invalid. He added there would be a new appraisal when it gets to the point of drafting DDA terms. He stated this could be commissioned within the next few months. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez confirmed mixed -use properties have greater value. He confirmed staff would make the appraiser aware of forthcoming land use actions. He added there is typically a range of values determined. Council Member Moreno inquired if any Council Members objected to making staff wait to rezone the parcel to conduct the appraisal. Developer Rob Mitchell clarified the property has been appraised twice since he has been working on the site and was done as if it were already rezoned and not in its existing condition. He clarified the challenge with the appraisal has to do with the hotel component and finding the right type of hotel for the corridor. He stated the City wants to have a higher -end hotel akin to the Radisson Blu with cutting edge public uses like an open bar to help revitalize the corridor. He added it is hard to do a hotel commitment in the current environment. He added the hotel component is the reason for the delays. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 13 of 20 He added he already has over $1,000,000 invested in the project through redoing his plans working with the City on the proper component mix. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mayor Sidhu confirmed this is not a time for discussion with Mr. Mitchell who is negotiating in good faith with staff. Mr. Mitchell stated he was concerned Council Member Moreno made it sound as if he was not buying the land at its full entitled value. Council Member Moreno clarified he thinks highly of what Mr. Mitchell did for the City with the Radisson Blu at a time when others were saying they could not build a luxury hotel like it without public subsidies. Mr. Fabela urged Council Member Moreno to stay on topic. Council Member Moreno clarified he was speaking as a trustee of public land of how to maximize its value. He added he was asking these questions because City Council does not have the appraisals. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez confirmed in the current market, the land is worth the most with purely residential zoning. He stated the appraisal would be made on its highest and best use, including options for residential, mixed -use, and commercial. He added the appraiser would look at various factors of what could be developed on the site. Council Member Moreno requested staff provide City Council with all three forms of the appraisal if there is an ENA. He stated, if they believe in the market, having an ENA does not preclude the developer from continuing to work with the City. He noted other developers would require three years until a groundbreaking so he does not see the need for an ENA given how far along the project already is. Mayor Sidhu stated this was not the time for discussion about the appraisal. He noted Mr. Ramirez stated it has been appraised already and the best value is residential. He stated the value would be set when the DDA comes to Council. He advised staff can do one appraisal and deduct based upon the project itself. Council Member O'Neil stated it is a great project and the City is already under contract on the parcel for a fair -market land deal. He stated they are negotiating in good faith and he sees no reason not to approve the item. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve a Second Amended and Restated Exclusive Negotiation Agreement, in substantial form, with Greenlaw Development, LLC for a future development on the southeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road to extend the term of the agreement for an additional 12 months; and authorize the Director of Economic Development, or designee, to execute and administer the agreement, seconded by Council Member Diaz. DISCUSSION: Council Member Diaz stated his concern is this is a run-down area in need of investment, which is why he supports the motion. He stated not every new construction could be completely residential because people need places to shop and for entertainment. He advised this could all be accommodated with this project and he would like to see continued negotiation. Council Member Valencia stated the corridor has had significant economic challenges for a long time. He stated his ears are perked up by an entity approaching the City with an idea to revitalize the site. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 14 of 20 He explained that ensuring this is equitable for the City is a top priority for him. He noted the ENA does not bind the City to any commitment and the opportunity to negotiate in good faith is appealing. In response to Council Member Valencia's inquiry, Mr. Ramirez confirmed with the current market, residential and industrial properties have the highest value. Council Member Valencia stated, if residential is the highest price point for the land, there may be no need for the other two appraisals. He expressed appreciation for the consideration of affordable housing in the project and the discussion of a Project Labor Agreement for the hotel site. He stated he appreciated the two-way dialog to better District 4 and expressed his support for the item. Council Member Moreno clarified he could not support the project and would abstain from voting because of the appraisal and affordability questions. He advised he believes the developer will be diligent and he leans towards hoping this works out well. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve a Second Amended and Restated Exclusive Negotiation Agreement, in substantial form, with Greenlaw Development, LLC for a future development on the southeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road to extend the term of the agreement for an additional 12 months; and authorize the Director of Economic Development, or designee, to execute and administer the agreement, seconded by Council Member Diaz.

DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Sidhu's inquiry, Council Member Moreno confirmed he would like to group Item Nos. 18-20 together. City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 15 of 20 Council Member Moreno stated Measure M is the Orange County gas tax and a lot of people fret when taxes are voted on because it comes out of their pockets at the gas pump. He stated these three items are things lumped into the Consent Calendar where the public does not often get to see where those tax dollars go and the diligence City staff uses in applying for the dollars. Public Works Director Rudy Emami stated Item No. 18 is the Measure M2 Expenditure Report to be submitted to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) showing the City spends its discretionary Measure M2 funds on its streets. He stated the report is mandated to continue to receive annual Measure M2 funding. He added Item Nos. 19 and 20 are applications for competitive grants against other cities to improve traffic signals in the City. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised the Euclid Street project in Item No. 20 runs from Katella Avenue to State Route 91 within the City limits and also extends into other area cities. He added the City of La Habra would be the lead, but Anaheim would be managing the construction and design oversight. He stated the City of Yorba Linda would lead the project in Item No. 19, improving the traffic lights on Yorba Linda Boulevard and Weir Canyon Road. Council Member Moreno stated this would benefit residents of Council Districts 2, 3, and 6. He stated he pulled the item so the public gains understanding of how the City uses Measure M tax dollars and benefits from them. He commended the Public Works Department for how hard it works to bring in external funds like these County grants. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve Item Nos. 18, 19, and 20, seconded by Council Member Diaz. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2021-111 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting the Measure M2 Expenditure Report and authorizing the City of Anaheim Finance Director to sign and submit the expenditure report to the Orange County Transportation Authority on behalf of the City of Anaheim; RESOLUTION NO. 2021-112 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing the Public Works Director or his designee to submit a grant application on behalf of the City of Anaheim to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Yorba Linda Boulevard/Weir Canyon Road Corridor Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) Project, and if awarded, authorizing the acceptance of such grant funds on behalf of the City and amending the budget accordingly, and determine the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Regulation No. 15301(b) Class 1; and RESOLUTION NO. 2021-113 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing the Public Works Director or his designee to submit a grant application on behalf of the City of Anaheim to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for Euclid Street Corridor Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) Project, and if awarded, authorizing the acceptance of such grant funds on behalf of the City and amending the budget accordingly, and determine the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Regulation No. 15301(b) Class 1, seconded by Council Member Diaz.

City Council Minutes of December 7, 2021 Page 16 of 20 D116 23. Update on the City's response to COVID-19. Mayor Sidhu stated COVID-19 remains part of their lives and the City is doing all it can to protect the community. He stated the City is opening a new testing site at the Anaheim Resort. He stated the City is watching the new omicron variant closely and is in regular communication with the County. He stated vaccines are the best protection against any variant and added booster shots are available to anyone who wants one. He encouraged residents to get vaccinated and boosted. Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster reported the County has been in a stable pattern for cases over the past few months but there has been an increase over the past seven (7) days following the Thanksgiving holiday. He stated the City would monitor if the growth becomes a sustained trend after the expected carry-over into next week's numbers. He noted the delta variant peak on August 24 is about twice the current rate. Mr. Lyster reported the County case rate (6.4%), positivity rate (3.3%), and health equity metric (3.3%) are all relatively stable. He added 75% of all County residents 12 years of age or older are fully vaccinated while 85% of those 12 years of age or older have had at least one shot. He noted the City would track this data for ages five (5) and up now that those aged 5-11 are eligible for vaccination. He reported the City's case rate and other metrics are all comparable to the County's over the past several months and trending similarly. Mr. Lyster reported November was a busy month for the City's vaccine and testing sites, noting both tests and vaccines nearly doubled from October. He added many got booster shots ahead of Thanksgiving gatherings. Mr. Lyster advised the County does not yet have a reported omicron variant case but there are likely undocumented cases within the community. He added there are three (3) omicron variant cases in Los Angeles County. He stated the omicron variant is more contagious but less severe of an illness, vaccines are holding up against it, and staff would continue to monitor the situation. He added the delta variant continues to be the most overwhelmingly common infection and what concerns staff the most at the moment. Mr. Lyster reported the City has proactively recently begun testing for visitors at The Anaheim Hotel, in addition to the facilities already open to residents and those employed within Anaheim. He added the site is also geared towards Anaheim Resort workers along with visitors. Mayor Sidhu encouraged residents to get vaccinated, get booster shots, and follow best safety practices, including mask -wearing, especially if infected. Informational item - No action taken.

Anaheim Boulevard Anaheim, CA 92805 www.kennedycoininission.org 17701 Cowan Ave., Suite 200 Irvine, CA 92614 949 250 0909 RE: Item 15 - APPROVAL OF SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AND GREENLAW DEVELOPMENT, LLC FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ANAHEIM BOULEVARD AND BALL ROAD Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and City Council Members: The Kennedy Commission (the Commission) is a broad-based coalition of residents and community organizations that advocates for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than $20,000 annually in Orange County. Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in partnering and working with Orange County jurisdictions to create effective housing and land -use policies that has led to the new construction of homes affordable to lower income working families. As the City Council considers the amendment to the Exclusive Negotiation agreement for the proposed development at the southeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road, The Kennedy Commission continues to urge the Council to not approve an agreement until this development there are direct commitments to maximize affordable housing production on this city owned land. The City needs to prioritize developments that are 100% affordable for lower income families on this city owned site to maximize and leverage additional federal and state housing funds. At a minimum a 15%-20% of the units should be affordable to low, very low and extremely low-income families. We stated our position in the letter submitted for the first reading of the project on October 27, 2020, and November 10, 2020 (second reading). The developer last proposed only a voluntary contribution of $269, 000,1 which is not enough to meet the need of Anaheim residents. If the City is unwilling to require the inclusion of affordable units in the proposed development, then it should require a more appropriate in lieu fee to build affordable housing off site based on comparable costs specifically at the low, very low and extremely low-income families. In addition, the city should follow the requirements of the California Surplus Land Act when disposing of city owned land. City of Anaheim's City Council Agenda Staff Report, Item 19, p. 1, November 2020. Mayor Harry Sidhu and City Council Members December 7, 2021 The City's 2020 Annual Housing Element Progress Report for the 2014-2021 planning period illustrates the urgent need for affordable housing for Anaheim residents and the disproportionate production of above moderate -income units. For the 2014-2021 Housing Element planning period, the city has a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 1,256 very low- and 907 low-income households. To -date, the city has built 308 or 25% of the 1,256 very low-income units and 160 or 18% of the 907 low-income units.2 However, for the above moderate -income units, the city outperformed and exceeded the RHNA by constructing 7,644 or 30% of the 2,501 above moderate -income RHNA.3 With a remaining RHNA need of 1,695 lower income homes, it is important the city prioritize the development of new affordable homes and adopt a mixed -income housing ordinance to encourage the development of affordable homes for lower income households in the City. The city has a new RHNA allocation for the very low and low income level for the upcoming cycle of 3,757 and 2,391, respectively.4 Given the City's track -record of prioritizing above moderate housing on Housing Opportunity Sites identified in the current Housing Element as sites that can be used to meet the City's RHNA requirements at the very -low and low, the City will have a very difficult time meeting its current and upcoming RHNA allocation. For example, in 2019 the City approved a 20 -acre market -rate residential development in the Residential Opportunity Overlay Zone, depleting the capacity of the City meet its remaining housing needs for lower income households. It is imperative that city owned land is prioritized to develop lower income housing that is not being address by market rate development. The Commission looks forward to partnering with the city to increase affordable home opportunities for lower income households in the city, especially as the city works to address the impact of COVID-19 on the housing security of residents. Please keep us informed of any updates and meetings regarding strategies to increase affordable homes for lower income households in the city.

Ilove this city and am very passionate towards seeing it grow to its fullest potential.! Iwant toseeAnaheim thrive andstand out amongst other cities inour local county byshowing that we value the arts, history, business, and culture that our beautiful communities were founded on. The Anaheim ballet building should bedemolished, butthey should stay inAnaheim. This city makes tomany mistakes when itcomes to moving forward innew developments forour city. They miss out ontomany opportunities where architects and business owners are interested ininvesting inAnaheim. Now isyour chance tostopmaking thesame mistakes and keep ballet inAnaheim while considering abusiness opportunity tobeautify Anaheim, the potential future development of the performing arts center ofAnaheim. Thefacility isbeautiful and will stand outamongst the restand bring business to Anaheim.The building itself isdesigned toarchitecturally show what anaheim isabout and where we come from. The APAC wants the facility tobebuilt inthe platinum triangle but no… Itshould bebuilt inthe heart ofAnaheim atthe corner ofharbor andLincoln where everyone can seeit. Afacility like the APAC can house the Anaheim ballet andthe APAC comfortably while offering theability tobeautify our city. Ilove Anaheim and Ihave somany ideas for what this city can beone day but Idon’tlike reading inthe news about howour council members don’tact quickly and affectively enough to get things done when itcomes tonew development. Iunderstand there ismore toitwhen itcomes tonew development, but Iknow if Iwas Mayor, things would begoing alotdifferently. Iwould make sure thateach day every member of our local government left their office feeling as though they worked productively and effectively to better Anaheim for the future of our children and their children to come. Thank you for your time and hope tohear back soon with some good news ofthe APAC/Anaheim ballet.!

Students are using the immense power of the Internet and mobile technology to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before imagined, both in and out of the classroom. But issues that emerge from this 24/7 "connected culture," such as cyberbullying, privacy lapses, and uncertainty about which information to trust online, are surfacing both in schools and at home. We see these as teachable moments. We believe that digital citizenship skills have become essential for students. That's why our schools are dedicated to helping students think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate. The Parkland School District makes every effort to ensure a safe computing environment for our students. As mandated by the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), web content filtering is provided on all student computers. Chromebooks assigned to students as part of Parkland Ready 21 are filtered even when taken home. However, sheltering students from inappropriate Internet sites is not the complete solution. The most effective filter is knowledge and parental involvement. Below you will find some of the best online resources for students to learn good digital citizenship & internet safety practices, and for parents to recognize how they can play a role in their child's safety & success online. 0 common sense DISTRICT Common Sense Education is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.

Digital Reputation Management Many students are sharing large parts of their lives online, from their weekend plans to photos of their latest lunch. Right now, it may seem like you're just chatting with friends, but what you're really doing is laying the foundation for your online reputation. If the digital footprint you're building now may last a lifetime, consider this: is it one you'll be proud to share for the rest of your life? In more immediate terms, is your online persona one you're willing to share with college admissions officers or future employers? If the answer is no, don't panic. You're not alone. Better yet, be prepared: there are steps you can take to build a positive online reputation while you're still in high school.

The district's comprehensive planning process involved participation from a variety of stakeholder with the focus placed upon student achievement and continuous improvement. These various stakeholders participated in committees that included both individual school committees as well as an overarching district -wide committee. Each of the eleven schools (eight elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school) created building action plans utilizing a building -based planning team which included administrators, teachers, parents and members of the community including business partners. Each building committee reviewed relevant student performance data, demographic information and parent/community needs assessment results to identify the individual school's strengths and challenges. A district -wide committee with a makeup of administrators, professional staff members, support staff members, parents and community members, including our business partners, reviewed data obtained from district needs assessments results from community, parent, teacher and support staff members. Following the process provided by the Comprehensive Planning Guidelines from the Pennsylvania Department of Education ensured that consistency was followed allowing for the allocation of resources and support for our district programs with a goal of continuous improvements leading to greater student achievement. The comprehensive planning process began in September 2013 as administrators brainstormed names of parents, community members and business partners who would like to be invited to attend and participate in building and district planning committees. Invitations to participate were sent to various stakeholders seeking participation in our process. The district designed a Wikispace to organize each individual committee's progress throughout the planning process with a goal of completing the comprehensive plan which would guide the school district for the next three years, 2015- 2018. In November the Assistant Superintendent invited team members to a series of meetings that would lead to the development of the Parkland School District Comprehensive Plan 2015-2018. On November 141 2013, the district planning team reviewed the comprehensive planning process as well as began the process of reviewing and revising the district's Mission Statement, Vision Statement and created Shared Values. Simultaneously, individual building planning teams were meeting to review their relevant data to identify their systems challenges in preparation to report at the January 30, 2014 district planning meeting. The district team also reviewed the data obtained from the district needs assessment results. 1 On January 30, 2014 the district planning committee met for a second time and performed a variety of tasks related to the comprehensive plan. The committee finalized a new district mission statement and agreed that the vision statement developed by previous strategic planning committees remains the mantra of the district today. They agreed that the vision statement "'Educating for Success, Inspiring Excellence" should continue to be the vision of the Parkland School District throughout the comprehensive planning years 2015- 2018. The committee worked through an exercise designed to identify the shared values that define the Parkland School District. The shared values will be finalized at the March 26, 2014 district planning meeting. The committee then heard presentations from each building principal as to what the building planning committees obtained from a review of building data as well as building survey data results. The building principal presented to the committee a list of accomplishments as well as a list of concerns encompassing areas each individual school will work to correct or enhance in the future. Throughout the presentations from the building principals the committee members listened for patterns of common accomplishments and concerns that will become part of the districts overall focus for the comprehensive plan. On March 26, 2014 the district planning committee met for a third time and building principals reviewed their individual accomplishments and concerns. The district level administrators also presented the Core Foundation accomplishments and concerns. The overall district committee created a list of common accomplishments and concerns that were presented from the building level and district level presentations. These became the basis of the school district improvement plan for 2015- 2018. The information was compiled and was the focus of the May 29, 2014 district planning team meeting. The district planning committee met on May 29, 2014 for the purpose of finalizing the Mission statement, Vision Statement and Shared Values. This was accomplished and the committee heard presentations related to each school Action Plans which addressed their specific Systemic Challenges. Comments were made related to each school plan and the district cabinet leaders shared the district Action Plan addressing the district Systemic Challenges. Comments were again solicited and agreement was reached that the plan was ready for final editing. It was agreed that a report to the School Board would take place on September 16, 2014 seeking their approval to submit the 2015- 2018 Parkland School District Comprehensive Plan for a 28 day public inspection with the goal to obtain School Board approval for state submission in late October. 2 MISSION STATEMENT: Description of the mission and what defines the purpose of the organization: The district mission statement speaks to the unique purpose or function of the Parkland School District.

The regional population is approximately 600,000 including Allentown, the third largest city in Pennsylvania. The Lehigh Valley International Airport, Interstate 78 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike have attracted numerous industries and commercial businesses to the Lehigh Valley. Within a radius of twenty five miles there are ten degree -granting colleges and universities; they are: Lehigh Carbon and Northampton Community Colleges, DeSales University, Cedar Crest College, Kutztown University, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Moravian College, Penn State University — Lehigh Valley and Muhlenberg College. The 72 square miles of the Parkland School District encompass three townships - North Whitehall, South Whitehall and Upper Macungie - with a total population of approximately 50,000.

These district themes serve as a philosophy or framework for the school community and focus attention upon ongoing and new district initiatives. Each district theme is presented during an Opening Day presentation to all staff members and provides motivation for the start of a new school year. Annual district goals are established by administrators and professional staff for each school year. These goals are shared with the Parkland Board of School Directors in September, with a mid -year update in January and with an end of the year report in August. Education Summit has been an annual event for the past 15 years in the Parkland School District. Each November, this event serves as a "'State of the District" report for the Parkland School Directors. Presentations are made by the Superintendent of Schools, the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, and each of the district's Department Directors. These presentations are both reflective and visionary in nature focusing on the district's educational initiatives and academic achievements. Budget Seminar is another annual event for the Parkland School District. Held each spring, this event provides a comprehensive overview of district programs. It is also an opportunity for school board directors and district administrators to review preliminary budget proposals and solidify the appropriation of funds. The end result is a collaborative effort by the district leadership to develop a responsible and feasible budget. Partnerships are an important facet of the Parkland School District. Collaboration with local businesses, government agencies and other educational institutions has proven vital to the district's success. These partnerships have built and sustained relationships benefiting all parties involved from both an operational and financial perspective. Community Outreach is an essential aspect of the district. Programs for parents, senior citizens and other community members have allowed the district to connect with all stakeholders. Quarterly newsletters, an annual publication of district accomplishments and special senior citizen events all serve to bring our schools to the community and our community to the schools. Efforts to keep the community informed also are initiated through the use of Parkland TV on Service Electric and RCN TV. School Safety and Crisis Prevention Programs are a crucial part of the district. Proactive programs to ensure the safety of students and staff are a top priority. In addition, a Crisis Response Team operating in cooperation with other local school districts has proven to be invaluable. The district has been commended for the partnerships formed with Local, County and State Police and Emergency Management and Emergency Service Organizations. The partnerships are enhanced by quarterly emergency management meeting with all community emergency management leaders. 0 Technology has become a necessary component to the success of the district. Current and updated video, voice, and data systems have supported educational goals. In addition, they have allowed the logistical operations of the district to run in a smooth and seamless manner. Continuous upgrading of our technology infrastructure has allowed for the process of allowing students the opportunity to bring their own devise to school and connect to the Parkland Network. Professional Development is an ongoing priority for the Parkland School District. Lifelong learning comes alive with the district's "'Parkland Academy." The academy offers over 250 workshops and seminars annually. This flexible year-long professional development program for all professional and support staff coupled with a differentiated supervision plan for teachers assures that the focus of all district initiatives is to enhance student achievement. New Teacher Induction is an important part of the district's professional development program. High expectations balanced with an equally high level of support serves as the basis for this program. New teachers are offered a 6 -day program in August to orient them to the district and to review curriculum specific to their position. An total of 66 hours of professional development through the Parkland Academy are required during the school year. Most important, they are assigned a principal and mentor teacher to support them throughout their first year with the district during monthly meetings. Under this Comprehensive Plan, an expansion of the New Teacher Induction Program is under consideration. Academic Offerings are at the heart of the district's mission. An ongoing Curriculum and Instruction Review Cycle or CIRC is conducted in all content areas. This five step cycle includes a revision and/or development of the curriculum, a review of published materials, and a pre - implementation with professional development to support a full implementation. Most important is an assessment of new or revised curriculum to ensure its effectiveness to improve student achievement based on the Pennsylvania Core Standards. Career Awareness Programs are an integral part of the educational experiences provided to students. Beginning at the elementary level, the Career Pathways Program and a Career Shadowing Program have proven to be a valuable opportunity for students to explore and learn about different carreers. 9 ENERGY: CONTINUOUS ENERGY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY PURPOSE: The Parkland School District has always been proactive relative to the efficient use of Energy. Beginning in March 2014 a new philosophy and focus has been implemented, however, whose main thrust is energy conservation and the associated dollar savings that will naturally ensue. We are also committing to conservation in all areas of the district along with the ongoing education of both students and staff toward that end. The general, overall and overriding goal to this initiative is to ensure the school district is, and espouses, being the best possible steward of our environment. AUTHORITY: The initial phase of this renewed initiative is a Continuous Energy Improvement Program sponsored by PPL and implemented by The Strategic Energy Group (SEG). The Superintendent of Schools is designated as the Energy Sponsor and ultimately directs all efforts in this area. During the first two years (2014-2016) of the program an Energy Champion has been designated to oversee the creation and implementation of the program. At the conclusion of the initial two year "break -in -period" the bulk of ongoing work will become a joint effort of all department heads and school principals. DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY: To kick the program off, an Energy Team of two components has been established. The Core Team is composed of the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Assistant to the Superintendent for Operations, the Director of School Services, Building Principal (pilot school) and the Energy Champion (two year designation). This Core Team — minus the Building Principal, whose role will evolve into oversight of each building team — will function as a core team from this point forward. This Core Team is then supplemented by a full Energy Team which is comprised of Teachers, Custodians, Cafeteria workers and also the Building Principal — as well as other appropriate departments (i.e. bus garage). The complete Energy Team will work to promote continuous energy improvement within each school as well as continuously evaluate all aspects of the school operations, identify weak spots and recommend remedial action(s). 10 GUIDELINES: In year one of the program, and beyond, the complete Energy Team will meet monthly to discuss initiatives and the effectiveness of our efforts. In year two of the program, and beyond each building Energy Team will meet monthly with the Building Principal and Director of the School Services setting the schedule and agenda for these meetings. OBJECTIVES: The Continuous Energy Improvement Program will focus primarily on two areas — mechanical/operational and behavioral/cultural: Mechanical/Operational — ensure that when purchasing new and/or replacement equipment we evaluate the life cycle cost of the equipment, taking into consideration not only purchase price, but also cost of energy and anticipated maintenance costs. Also, a top priority will be to evaluate the effective operation of all equipment and systems including, but not limited to, proper settings, schedules and all "nuts and bolts" adherence to specifications. Behavioral/Cultural — ensure that all students and staff members are utilizing best practices relative to energy conservation, recycling and other "green"' conservation templates, as well. Ongoing training is a hallmark of this initiative and will become incorporated in classroom work, in -services, etc. Reports will be given periodically to the Board of School Directors and other groups (i.e. Community Advisory Council) to document progress, promote awareness and trumpet successes within the district. 11 DISTRICT PLANNING COMMITTEE Comurenensive riannina Committee Members Josh Abrams ...........................

The district's Comprehensive Planning Process involved participation from a variety of stakeholders with the focus placed upon student achievement and continuous improvement. These various stakeholders participated in committees that included both individual school committees as well as an overarching district -wide committee. Each of the eleven schools eight elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school) created building action plans utilizing a building -based planning team which included administrators, teachers, parents and members of the community including business partners. Each building committee reviewed relevant student performance data, demographic information and parent/community needs assessment results to identify the individual school's strengths and challenges. A district -wide committee with a make-up of administrators, professional staff members, support staff members, parents and community members, including our business partners, reviewed data obtained from district needs assessments results from community, parent, teacher and support staff members. Following the process provided by the Comprehensive Planning Guidelines from the Pennsylvania Department of Education ensured that consistency was followed allowing for the allocation of resources and support for our district programs with a goal of continuous improvements leading to greater student achievement. The comprehensive planning process began in September 2017 as administrators brainstormed names of parents, community members and business partners who would like to be invited to attend and participate in building and district planning committees. Invitations to participate were sent to various stakeholders seeking participation in our process. The district designed a Google Doc to organize each individual committee's progress throughout the planning process with a goal of completing the Comprehensive Plan which would guide the school district for the next three years, 2019-2022. In November the Assistant Superintendent invited team members to a series of meetings that would lead to the development of the Parkland School District Comprehensive Plan 2019-2022. On November 6, 2017, the district planning team reviewed the comprehensive planning process as well 3 as began the process of reviewing and revising the district's Mission Statement, Vision Statement and created Shared Values. Simultaneously, individual building planning teams were meeting to review their relevant data to identify their systems challenges in preparation to report at the May 23, 2018 district planning meeting. The district team also reviewed the data obtained from the district needs assessment results. The committee then heard presentations from each building principal as to what the building planning committees obtained from a review of building needs assessment data. The building principals presented to the committee a listing of accomplishments as well as a list of concerns encompassing areas each individual school will work to correct or enhance in the future. Throughout the presentations from the building principals, the committee members listened for patterns of common accomplishments and concerns that will become part of the districts overall focus for the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, it was decided that the district planning committee meet and building principals update their individual accomplishments and concerns. The district level administrators agreed to present the Core Foundation accomplishments and concerns and the overall district committee created common accomplishments and concerns were to be presented at the May 23, 2017 District and School Planning meeting. These became the basis of the School District Improvement Plan for 2019- 2022. The district planning committee met on May 23, 2018 for the purpose of finalizing the Mission statement, Vision Statement and Shared Values. This was accomplished and the committee heard presentations related to each schools Action Plans which addressed their specific Systemic Challenges. Comments were made relative to each school plan and the district cabinet leaders shared the district Action Plan addressing the district Systemic Challenges. Comments were again solicited and agreement was reached that the plan was ready for final editing. It was agreed that a report to the School Board would take place on September 18, 2018 seeking their approval to submit the 2019-2022 Parkland School District Comprehensive Plan for a 28 -day public inspection with the goal to obtain School Board approval for state submission in late October. Mission Statemen The district mission statement speaks to the unique purpose or function of the Parkland School District.

These district themes serve as a philosophy or framework for the school community and focus attention upon ongoing and new district initiatives. Each district theme is presented during an Opening Day presentation to all staff members and provides motivation for the start of a new school year. Annual district goals are established by administrators and professional staff and approved by the Board of Directors for each school year. These goals are reviewed and approved by the Parkland Board of School Directors in September, with a mid -year update in January and with an end of the year report in August. Education Summit/School Board Retreat has been an annual event for the past 18 years in the Parkland School District. Each year, either a "State of the District" report is reviewed with the Parkland School Directors or when topics are specific to the" State of the District" such as enrollment growth or capital project needs a retreat format with the School Board is established. Presentations are made by the Superintendent of Schools, the Assistant Superintendent of Schools and all cabinet members who have a specific role in the presentation. These presentations are both reflective and visionary in nature focusing on the district's educational initiatives and academic achievements or school facilities management. Budget Seminar is another annual event for the Parkland School District. Held each spring, this event provides a comprehensive overview of district programs. It is also an opportunity for school board directors and district administrators to review preliminary budget proposals and solidify the appropriation of funds. The end result is a collaborative effort by the district leadership to develop a responsible and feasible budget. Partnerships are an important facet of the Parkland School District. Collaboration with local businesses, government agencies and other educational institutions has proven vital to the district's success. These partnerships have built and sustained relationships benefiting all parties involved from both an operational and financial perspective. Community Outreach is an essential aspect of the district. Programs for parents, senior citizens and other community members have allowed the district to connect with all stakeholders. Quarterly newsletters, an annual publication of district accomplishments and special senior citizen events all serve to bring our schools to the community and our community to the schools. Efforts to keep the community informed also is initiated through the use of Parkland TV on Service Electric and RCN TV. School Safety and Crisis Prevention Programs are a crucial part of the district. Proactive programs to ensure the safety of students and staff are a top priority. In addition, a Crisis Response Team operating in cooperation with other local school districts has proven to be invaluable. The district has been commended for the partnerships formed with Local, County and State Police and Emergency Management and Emergency Service Organizations. The partnerships are enhanced by quarterly emergency management meeting with all community emergency management leaders. Each of our school also conduct emergency management walkthroughs so to gain valuable safety and security suggestions from our first responders. Parkland has also approved a District -Wide Safety Administrator in charge of district security plans and implementation. Technology has become a necessary component to the success of the district. Current and updated video, voice, and data systems have supported educational goals. In addition, they have allowed the logistical operations of the district to run in a smooth and seamless manner. Continuous upgrading of our technology infrastructure has allowed for the process of allowing students the opportunity to bring their own devise to school and connect to the Parkland Network. Parkland will completed its one-to-one student computer program by the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Professional Development is an ongoing priority for the Parkland School District. Lifelong learning comes alive with the district's "Parkland Academy." The academy offers over 250 workshops and seminars annually. This flexible year-long professional development program for all professional and support staff coupled with a differentiated supervision plan for teachers assures that the focus of all district initiatives is to enhance student achievement. The Direct of Professional Development has also made available online professional development through Honuit and other online platforms to better meet the needs of a growing staff. New Teacher Induction is an important part of the district's professional development program. High expectations balanced with an equally high level of support serves as the basis for this program. New teachers are offered a 6 -day program in August to orient them to the district and to review curriculum specific to their position. A total of 66 hours of professional development through the Parkland Academy are required during the school year. Most important, they are assigned a principal and mentor teacher to support them throughout their first year with the district during monthly meetings. This was a goal of the Comprehensive Plan 2015-2018, and the expansion of the New Teacher Induction Program has been in effect since 2017. Academic Offerings are at the heart of the district's mission. An ongoing Curriculum and Instruction Review Cycle or CIRC is conducted in all content areas. This five step cycle includes a revision and/or development of the curriculum, a review of published materials, and a pre -implementation with professional development to support a full implementation. Most important is an assessment of new or revised curriculum to ensure its effectiveness to improve student achievement based on the Pennsylvania Core Standards. Career Awareness Programs are an integral part of the educational experiences provided to students. Beginning at the elementary level, the Career Pathways Program and a Career Shadowing Program have proven to be a valuable opportunity for students to explore and apply skills to future. I ENERGY: CONTINUOUS ENERGY IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY PURPOSE The Parkland School District has always been proactive relative to the efficient use of resources, including energy. In early 2014, the district embarked on an experimental program sponsored by PPL Electric Utilities, to reduce the consumption of electricity and save the district Kilowatt hours., the associated dollars that go with that effort and in general become, and encourage all stakeholders including staff, students, parents and the Parkland community as a whole, to become better stewards of the environment. The first three years of the program proved to be quite successful. It is now our goal to expand those efficiencies into a fourth year of the program and increase and improve upon the savings we can realize. AUTHORITY As identified early on in our Continuous Energy Improvement Program, district Superintendent will continue to function as our Energy Sponsor, providing support for the program as needed. A district Energy Champion will oversee and coordinate activities throughout the district while each school will continue to have a designated school Energy Champion who shall coordinate events/activities through a Green Team comprised of building staff, students and parents. DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY To assist the Superintendent and provide additional support to the district Energy Champion, a Core Team comprised of the Assistant Superintendent, Assistant to the Superintendent for Operations, the Director of School Services and the Orefield Principal (original pilot school leader) will continue to provide leadership for the program. GUIDELINES Each school Energy Team will meet monthly, with meeting minutes distributed to every other schools Energy Champion and a quarterly summary of these meetings compiled for review by the Core Team. OBJECTIVES The Continuous Energy Improvement Program will continue to focus primarily on two separate, but equally important areas of district operations: Mechanical /Operational - Ensure that when purchasing new and/or replacement equipment the life cycle cost of such equipment is evaluated and considered. Also, inspection of, evaluation and replacement of -when needed -the effective operational settings/functioning of all existing equipment will continue to be critical. 10 Behavioral/Cultural - Establish best practices relative to conservation of all kinds. On-going training of all stakeholders is imperative, and therefore will be scrutinized continuously to ensure optimal understanding of our efforts and results.

Modification andAcccmmc'icn Explain how planned instruction contains modifications and accommodations that allow all students at all mental and physical ability levels to access and master a rigorous standards aligned curriculum. Teachers will be developing instruction containing modifications and accommodations that allow all students to master a rigorous standard aligned curriculum. Teachers will be using units and lessons that focus on addressing the PA Core Standards. Each building has defined data teams to help develop individual learning paths for each student. All professional staff use performance data from Parkland's Performance Tracker Data Base to adjust instruction where needed. An established RtII program is in place in the elementary schools and student action planning is in place in the middle schools and high school. The teachers use all aspects of the data collected to make decisions on differentiated instruction in the classroom. Instructional Strati gies Checked Answers Formal classroom observations focused on instruction Walkthroughs targeted on instruction Annual Instructional evaluations Instructional Coaching Unchecked Answers Peer evaluation/coaching Regular Lesson Plan Review Checked Answers Not Reviewed Unchecked Answers Administrators Building Supervisors Department Supervisors Instructional Coaches 25 Provide brief explanation of LEA's process for incorporating selected strategies: Parkland's Differentiated Supervision Plan allows teachers to choose a method of supervision that enables them to explore, in depth, new ideas or interests that will enable them to refine their teaching skills and promote professional growth. Tenured individuals must participate in the focused method every 3- 5 years, requiring one formal observation, and non -tenured are formally observed twice per year. In addition they can choose from the Self -Directed model or Cooperative model. An Intensive Supervision Plan is in place for any staff member that requires close supervision and assistance in their teaching craft. Through the use of My Learning Plan, administrators complete formal observations using the Danielson Framework. This framework promotes professional discussions between staff member and administrator. Walkthroughs are conducted throughout the year as well. The Curriculum and Instruction department along with administrators and teachers continually evaluate how effective the curriculum is and make adjustments as needed. RTII teachers and Reading Specialists work closely with teachers at the elementary level and assist them in improving instruction and implementing best practices. Grade level meetings with the Core team take place on a regular basis to discuss instructional practices and student progress. Each middle school has a Data and Instructional Specialist that continually works with team leaders and classroom teachers to review data and refine instruction. In addition, the Technology Integration Specialist works with all middle school teachers to assist them with the implementation of our Parkland Ready 21 Plan and our 1:1 initiative. At the high school level, there is an Instructional Supervisor and an Instructional Coach that work with Department Chairs to lead Professional Learning Communities focusing on data, content, and sharing classroom practices and teaching strategies. Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how the LEA plans to address their incorporation. Professional staff are not evaluated by peers, but peer coaching is in place at all levels in the form of Reading Specialists and RTII Teachers at the elementary level, Team Leaders, Data and Instructional Specialists and Technology Integrations Specialists at the middle level, and Instructional Supervisor, Instructional Coach, and Department Chairs at the high school level. Lesson Plans are currently not reviewed regularly. Building principals may review them during a classroom observation or a walkthrough. In addition, a teacher can choose to submit them as evidence of planning and preparation as part of Domain 1 of the observation and evaluation process. Regular review of lesson plans would be part of negotiations with the union. 26 Responsiveness to Student Needs Elementary Education -Primary Level Instructional Practices Status Structured grouping practices are used to meetstudent needs.

Differentiation of instruction at the elementary level is implemented in various ways in order to meet the needs of students. Students are placed in differentiated reading groups enabling them to have access to grade level text during whole group instruction and material that is at their instructional level during differentiated reading time. Groups are fluid and provide the opportunity for students to read text at the level that will best meet their needs at a given time. Many of our teachers differentiate math instruction within their classroom, but this is an area we are working to strengthen through professional development offerings. In addition, there is a 45 minute period built into every day for intervention or enrichment based on individual student needs. With the implementation of full day kindergarten, we have a 30 minute I/E block for Language Arts and a 20 minute I/E block for math daily during which time classroom teachers and Titlel/DRP assistants provide additional support to students. Gifted students participate in a pull out program that provides enrichment instruction. Gifted students are challenged in the regular classroom, however, we are currently looking closely at our elementary gifted program to better align the enrichment provided to enhance what is being taught in the classroom. A student can participate in accelerated math if they qualify based on testing.

In addition to all that is in place for the primary level, students in grades 3, 4, and 5 may participate in our accelerated math program, where the "jump" a grade and receive instruction above their current grade level. There is a screening process in place to identify candidates and qualifying students are further assessed to determine whether they are capable of skipping to the next grade level for math.

If necessary, provide further explanation. Students at the middle level are grouped heterogeneously for the most part, although within that group the very highest students and very lowest students are grouped among the teams to enable support services to push in or pull out to meet the needs of the students. Differentiation occurs in some classrooms to better meet the varied ability levels of students: however, this is an area we are working to strengthen through additional professional development offerings to staff. Students at the 7th and 8th grade level can choose classes that are gifted and high potential. In addition, students can test into advanced math classes. There is a "Period V built into the schedule to allow time for intervention or enrichment. The middle school implemented 1:1 initiative this year along with the addition of Schoology further enhancing differentiation of instruction.

Students at the high school level are grouped by ability. Courses are offered at varied ability levels; college prep, gifted/high potential, and honors/AP. Math lab and NHS tutors are available every period and after school for any student experiencing difficulty. In addition, teachers utilize data from pre-tests and PVAAS to help them plan for differentiation within the classroom and to assist them in preparation of Algebra 1, Biology, and 10th grade Language Arts Keystones. A remediation program is designed for any student that is unsuccessful with the Keystone. Recruitment Describe the process you implement to recruit and assign the most effective and highly qualified teachers in order to meet the learning needs of students who are below proficiency or are at risk of not graduating. The District's Human Resources Office advertises and recruits for open positions. There are numerous methods used to recruit candidates ranging from job postings on the district website, utilizing social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, to advertising in educational publications and contacting colleges directly. In addition, administrators attend job fairs each year in an effort to recruit top teachers from various colleges. We are also very fortunate to be well respected in the area and therefore we receive hundreds of applications from interested candidates. Administrators review and rank applications every year to determine the most qualified candidates to be granted a mini interview. From that group of individuals, only those top candidates qualify for a full interview with administrators from the respective level. The interview process is rigorous and competitive and allows us to have highly qualified staff filling our positions. At the elementary level, building principals determine teaching assignments. A great deal of time and consideration is placed on determining student placement within classrooms. The core team reviews student information and determines the best placement of each student based on their individual needs. At the middle and high school level, student placement is determined by the guidance counselor and building administrators based on the students' course selection and their individual needs.

ReviewProfessionalLearningCommunity Instructional Coach Review Teacher Peer Review Provide brief explanation of your process for reviewing assessments. Grade level and content level teams meet with the curriculum department to review district wide assessments. Professional staff from across the district and grade levels develop, review and align assessments to the PA Core Standards. Building and grade level teams meet regularly to review and analyze student and building data and assessments. Administrative Teams regularly review and analyze building and district data and assessments. Development and Validation of Local Assessments If applicable, explain your procedures for developing locally administered assessments and how they are independently and objectively validated every six years. This narrative is empty. Collection and Dissemination Describe your system to collect, analyze and disseminate assessment data efficiently and effectively for use by LEA leaders and instructional teams. All common assessments, standardized assessments, state assessments and benchmark scores are collected and stored on the district data warehousing system. This data warehousing system named Performance Tracker provides longitudinal data and profiles for individual students, grades, teams, departments, and schools. Based on the type of data being collected, it is either uploaded in mass by vendors, district personnel, or individually by a student's teacher. Performance Tracker allows professional staff to make critical instructional decisions based on multiple student data sources. Collaboration among professional staff is a critical component in this process. Data teams from all levels across the district meet regularly to analyze student data. Team meetings and professional learning communities have allowed staff to jointly analyze student data and design instructional programs to meet the needs of the district's diverse population of learners. 33 Data Informed Instruction Describe how information from the assessments is used to assist students who have not demonstrated achievement of the academic standards at a proficient level or higher. After data teams or teachers identify students' areas of weakness and specific needs, teachers use formative assessment to address the needs through differentiated instruction in the classroom and/or by placing students with similar need in a group to receive remediation or a specific intervention. Students may receive remediation within several different programs: the intervention and enrichment period, before and after school tutoring sessions, prep classes, help lab, or through a variety of after school camps. To assist students who have not demonstrated achievement at a proficient level or higher, the remediation help they receive may be teacher directed or computer assisted.

Social media celebrates academic achievement of district and schools. Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how the LEA plans to address their incorporation. District principals meet yearly to revise student handbooks. Summative information will be added to the next edition of the student handbook at both the elementary and middle school levels. The necessary information will be included with the new revisions. Middle School principals and guidance counselors meet yearly to update the Course Planning Guide for the middle school. Summative information will be added to the document during the revision process. The Course Planning Guide is a document that does not exist and is not needed at the elementary level. Seas and SupportiveSchools Describe your entity's process for assisting schools that either do not meet the annual student achievement targets or experience other challenges, which deter student attainment of academic standards at a proficient level or higher. If your entity has no struggling schools, explain how you will demonstrate continued growth in student achievement. 35 The Parkland School District superintendent has a very clear vision for student achievement that is explicitly expressed each year. Each month the administration including principals and department heads meet as an instructional leadership group to discuss methods and strategies to enhance student achievement. As a result, each building and the district offices have a unified approach as to how to assist students who are struggling to meet academic student achievement targets. The district utilizes assessments that benchmark student progress. School data teams then analyze the data to determine if there are curricular deficits or sub groups of students who have not reached the desired benchmark scores. In addition to monitoring academic performance, all schools have Student Assistance Program Teams that monitor student social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Schools develop individual action plans to address areas of relative weakness or to enhance student success in all areas. Attendance is also closely monitored and student attendance improvement plans are implemented should they be deemed necessary. At the elementary level, a response to intervention and instruction or multi -tiered system of support format is used. A universal screener, the STAR assessment, is used within the first weeks of school. Students who are identified as being at risk based on the screener and past assessments are identified. The schools have implemented a daily intervention and enrichment period in the school to assist all students to either be remediated or enriched on targeted skills. Research based interventions are applied to students in need of tier 2 or tier 3 services. Students' progress is monitored to determine if they are making sufficient progress. Grade level teams meet regularly to discuss the data, analyze student progress, and make appropriate revisions to their academic program. Elementary schools use Title services, district remedial services, teachers for English Language Learners, and special education support to assist their students. In addition, all schools have a full time reading specialist and .5 of a response to intervention and instruction teacher to assist their teams. All elementary schools also have trained Student Assistance Program teams to address social, emotional, and behavioral needs of students. Wellness programs are also incorporated into all elementary schools to enhance student health and understanding of proper nutrition and exercise. Career exploration activities start as early as kindergarten and progress throughout the elementary years via guidance lessons and curricular activities. All schools incorporate a schoolwide positive behavior program to encourage good behavior and promote a safe environment for all. Teachers in kindergarten and first grade are all trained in mindfulness and incorporate it into their classrooms to encourage self-awareness and behavioral control. At the middle school level, the students are placed on academic teams. The teams of teachers meet regularly to discuss their students and the progress toward academic goals. The middle schools also use school wide assessments through Study Island and STAR to determine which students are at benchmark and which are not. An intervention and enrichment period occurs four times out of a six day cycle to address individual student needs. In addition, the school has remedial courses through PSSA reading and PSSA math for students who qualify. The middle schools also meet to analyze their assessments and to develop action plans to enhance student growth. There are district remedial programs and special education services available. A data and instructional specialist as well as a reading specialist is assigned to each building to provide assistance to teachers and students. The student assistance program, counseling staff, and psychologists assist students who may have social emotional or substance abuse hurdles that impede their academic progress. Guidance lessons cover a variety of student issues which include but are not 36 limited to suicide awareness and prevention, career exploration, and drug/alcohol prevention. The middle schools have a strong anti -bullying program in place which follows the OLWEUS model. The high school has a very strong and varied curriculum that meets the needs of students with varied interests and abilities. They also use assessments through individual disciplines and with Study Island. The school has math labs, tutors through the National Honor Society, and a variety of remedial courses that are designed to assist students who have not reached proficiency in the Keystone tests. In addition, the school has a data team that targets areas in need of growth and establishes an action plan to address these needs. Individual departments meet as professional learning communities to troubleshoot problems and enhance student growth. Students with mental health issues or social emotional concerns are assisted through a counseling staff, the Student Assistance Program teams, and psychological services. Various seminars are provided throughout the year to address student needs. Some of these seminars are coping with stress, resiliency training, and mindfulness techniques. A cyber program is also available to students who may need this type of instruction for various reasons. The district's curriculum and instruction department, student services department, and technology department meet with school staffs regularly to assist in providing state of the art resources and instructional interventions as required by the buildings.

The high school will be exploring within the next two years the use of evidenced based practices for increasing positive school climate and discipline. This exploration could include attending workshops by the IU and or Pattan on School -wide positive behavior supports. An SRO officer is assigned to the high school and another officer is assigned to the middle schools. At the elementary level, currently two of the buildings have a resource officer via the township. The district has also incorporated a new program entitled POLICE PALS. This program allows police officers to enter elementary schools and be visible in the school environment. In addition, the officers are offered either breakfast or lunch as they are patrolling their areas. This program has allowed elementary schools to have the relationship with a police officer and to recognize that they are a valuable community resource. Describe your entity's awareness activities conducted annually to inform the public of the gifted education services and programs offered (newspaper, student handbooks, school website, etc.) The Parkland School District believes that active screening and progress monitoring are essential aspects of ensuring student's educational success from kindergarten through high school. As a result of utilizing universal screeners, benchmark assessments, state testing, and curriculum based assessments, teams of professionals are able to gather information to assist with gifted candidate identification. The results of these assessments are shared with parents via reports, phone calls and meetings. The district also promotes its gifted program in the student handbooks, website, newsletters, and course selection books. Students who are top performers academically or have been recommended by the teachers/parents due to outstanding classroom performance are individually screened through by the Gifted Identification Screening Team (GIST). Parents are notified that their child has demonstrated exemplary performance, which suggests that they may be in need of Gifted Education. During this screening process, multiple data points are collected in order to pinpoint a student's academic, intellectual, and behavioral functioning. This is accomplished through: review of academic records; administration of individual curriculum based tests; completion of Gifted Rating Scales; and soliciting narrative input from both classroom teachers and parents. Once this information is collected, the GIST reviews the information and makes a determination whether the student is in need of specially designed instruction. Based on the data, the GIST may also determine that the educational needs of the student may be addressed through regular education. Students that demonstrate a need for specially designed instruction are referred for a formal assessment by the school psychologist. Wt The formal assessment follows the guidelines as defined in Pa. Code Chapter 16: Special Education for Gifted Students. Once the formal assessments are completed, they are considered in conjunction with the information collected through the screening process by the Gifted Multidisciplinary Team for determination of the student's eligibility as a Mentally Gifted Student. If the student is determined to be eligible, then a Gifted Individual Education Plan is developed. If the student is determined to be ineligible, the student is provided enrichment opportunities through classroom differentiation in order to meet their educational needs. Parkland School District's gifted education program offers enrichment opportunities through the teachers of gifted and through differentiation of regular education curriculum. At the elementary level, five teachers of gifted provide a pull-out and/or push in program which is differentiated into activities based upon the standards. The emphasis of the program is on developing higher order thinking skills, research skills, and problem solving. The middle school provides a pull out program in sixth grade through application level skills enhancing the regular education program. Students in seventh and eighth grade are able to select academic courses based on their interest and aptitude level. The gifted/high potential courses provide more challenging activities and questioning techniques than the regular program. Students in high school are able to choose between gifted high potential courses, honors, and advanced placement options. Describe your entity's process for locating students who are thought to be gifted and may be in need of specially designed instruction (screening). All schools have data teams which not only identify struggling students but also high achieving students. Screening comes through the analysis of various assessments such as universal screeners, benchmark assessments, state assessments, curriculum based assessments, and parent /teacher input. Parents are notified that their child has demonstrated exemplary performance which suggests that they may be in need of Gifted Education. During this process multiple data points are collected in order to pinpoint a student's academic, intellectual, and behavioral functioning. Describe your entity's procedures for determining eligibility (through multiple criteria) and need (based on academic strength) for potentially mentally gifted students (evaluation). Various academic assessments and parent/teach input are reviewed by the Gifted Identification Screening Team. A psychologists administers various assessments to determine IQ achievement levels, strengths and needs. All information is shared and together the team determines eligibility along with the parent. Describe the gifted programs* being offered that provide opportunities for acceleration, enrichment or both. *The word "programs" refers to the continuum of services, not one particular option. At the elementary level math acceleration is offered to eligible students as well as gifted pull-out and push in services. The language arts curriculum also has advanced leveled coursework and students also have computer assisted programs that progress at their rate of acquisition. At the middle school level, students have the ability to accelerate in math as well. Students also may participate in honors classes in English, Social Studies, and Science. The high school has an amazing array of opportunities for high achievers. There are numerous AP courses, honors courses, and gifted high potential courses. The high school also provides opportunities for students to dual enroll in local colleges for credit. 39 Developmental Services Developmental Services EEP EEI ML HS Academic Counselingg X X X X Attendance Monitoring X X X X Behavior Management Programs X X X X Bullying Prevention X X X X Career Awareness X X X X Career Development/ Planning X X X X Coaching/Mentoring X X X X Compliance with Health Requirements -i.e., X X X X Immunization X X X X Emergency and Disaster Preparedness X X X X Guidance Curriculum X X X X Health and Wellness Curriculum X X X X Health Screenings X X X X Individual Student Planning X X X X Nutrition X X X X Orientation/Transition X X X X RTII/MTSS X X X Appraisal .............................................................................................................................................................X.....................................X.....................................X.....................................X..................

Student ..Assistance 40 Explanation of diagnostic, intervention and referral services: Parkland School District integrates various procedures, systems, and structures to provide diagnostic, intervention, and referral services across all grade levels. Some of the methods of providing these services are consistent between the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Other aspects of these services are uniquely provided to address the differing needs amongst the grade levels. Elementary Level At the elementary level, necessary accommodations and modifications to a student's educational program are identified via data collection and good communication with parents and teachers.. The Response to Intervention and Instruction (RTII) or MTSS model is followed. Teams utilize educational data to assess students' needs and recommend tiered interventions. A Multidisciplinary Evaluation (MDE) may also be utilized. This process comprehensively assesses a student to evaluate a suspected disability and determine the degree of educational need. It is through this process that student's eligibility for special education services or a Chapter 15 service agreement is determined. Assessment of academic skills, assessment of aptitude for learning and progress monitoring are accomplished by the use of formative, summative, diagnostic, and benchmark assessments. These include the use of universal screeners, academic probes, and standardized assessments. Data from these assessments are stored and may be accessed and analyzed from state and district data warehousing programs. Medication administration at all levels is accomplished by the district health department guidelines that require physician orders for the prescription. At all levels actual and potential health problems are addressed through school resources, which include at least one certified school nurse in each school building, a district physician, and through collaborative efforts with community health providers. Various health screenings are conducted on a scheduled basis at the elementary level. Health educational initiatives by the district include flu -prevention, concussion awareness and management, and healthy lifestyle choices (such as the "Wellementary" program at the elementary level). Crisis response, management, and intervention procedures are developed in each building. These procedures guide actions based upon potential threats and risks to the health, safety, and welfare of the school community. Further, district staff are trained members of the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit's flight team which is a regional team available to assist in crisis response. The district has established relationships with various community agencies and first responders to partner in responding to crises. In addition, two elementary schools have resources officers and the other elementary schools have Police PAL programs in place whereby local police officers are welcome to visit the schools. At the elementary level, casework is provided by various professionals depending upon the area of need such as academic, social/emotional, behavioral, and accessing community supports and services. These professionals include school counselors, school psychologists, district consultants, the home and school visitor, and teaching staff. Counseling interventions at the elementary level are offered to address student's needs. Counseling services are offered in individual sessions and group sessions (ex. "lunch bunches") and may address coping with life situations, educational planning, and personal and social development. Each elementary school has a school counselor and there are three school psychologists at the elementary level. All of the elementary buildings have teams that are SAP trained. 41 Secondary Level (Middle and High School) At the secondary level, necessary accommodations and modifications to a student's educational program are identified via two potential pathways. The first pathway at the middle school level is the grade level teams, which utilize educational data to assess students' needs and recommend and develop action plans. The first pathway at the high school level is the Child Study teams which utilize educational data to assess students' needs and recommend and develop action plans. The second pathway for both the middle and high school levels is through the Multidisciplinary Evaluation (MDE) process that comprehensively assesses a student to evaluate a suspected disability and determine the degree of educational need. It is through this process that student's eligibility for special education services or a Chapter 15 Service Agreement is determined. Assessment of academic skills and aptitude for learning and progress monitoring are accomplished by the use of formative, summative, diagnostic, and benchmark assessments. These include the use of classroom assessments, academic probes, and standardized assessments. Data from these assessments are stored and may be accessed and analyzed from state and district data warehousing programs. Medication administration at all levels is accomplished by the district health department guidelines that require physician orders for the prescription. At all levels actual and potential health problems are addressed through school resources, which include at least one certified school nurse in each school building, a district physician, and through collaborative efforts with community health providers.

Health educational initiatives by the district include flu -prevention, concussion awareness and management, and healthy lifestyle choices. Crisis response, management, and intervention procedures are developed in each building. These procedures guide action based upon potential threats and risks to the health, safety, and welfare of the school community. Further, district staff are trained members of the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit's flight team which is a regional team available to assist in crisis response. The district has established relationships with various community agencies and first responders to partner in responding to crises. This has included first responder drills at each of the three secondary schools. In addition, two School Resource Officers from the South Whitehall Police Department are housed within the middle and high school buildings. At the secondary level, casework is provided by various professionals depending upon the area of need such as academic, social/emotional, behavioral, and accessing community supports and services. These professionals include school counselors, school psychologists, district consultants, the home and school visitor, and teaching staff. Counseling interventions at the secondary level are offered to address student's needs. Counseling services are offered in individual sessions and group sessions and may address coping with life situations, educational planning, and personal and social development. The middle school have 6. 5 school counselors and two psychologist. The high school has eleven school counselors and two school psychologists who provide these services. Additionally, at the high school level the district has partnered with a community mental health service provider, who offers the opportunity for on-site mental health treatment services. It is anticipated that this partnership may grow to service all levels and include additional community mental health providers. 42 The Student Assistance Program has been operational since the start of SAP programs in Pennsylvania. The SAP team functions to identify students with needs that create barriers to learning and provide referrals to appropriate services. At the high school level the SAP offers group counseling as an intervention to address various topics as well as offering the typical SAP services.

Truancy Coordination Explanation of consultation and coordination services: A variety of professionals within Parkland School District oversee and engage in consultation and coordination activities. While the approach and methodology of these activities are tailored to the developmental needs of students at the elementary and secondary levels, the procedures and responsible staff are generally consistent between the grade levels. Professionals within the Student Services department in different roles collaborate to ensure the integration of these services within the educational program. Alternative education services at all levels has been provided in the necessary situations through contracts with alternative education sites in the region including alternative education schools and Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit classrooms. In addition, at the secondary level alternative education services have been provided to students with the district's cyber program and Parkland Behavior Support Program. At all levels, school counselors, school psychologists, the home and school visitor, consultants, school nurses, special education teachers, and Students Service administrators have provided case management services, community liaison and coordination services, family coordination, home/school communication, community referrals, staff development, and system relationship building and support. At all levels, the professional roles involved with these activities is determined based upon the area of need (i.e. academic, social/emotional/behavioral, health, etc.). The district uses varied avenues to provide and publicize these services that include communication through newsletters, trainings and 43 workshops for community members, interagency and interdisciplinary networking, and participation in county -level committees. At the elementary and secondary levels, managing chronic health problems is accomplished by collaborating with families and their medical providers. Within the school setting, school nurses, school counselors, and school psychologists assess and communicate to teachers the health considerations and academic needs that may be manifested as the result of a chronic health condition. Students with chronic health conditions may have plans such as a health care plan, action re-entry plan, 504, or IEP developed to support them dependent upon the degree of need created by a chronic health condition. Furthermore, the district's central office oversees homebound instruction services for students with chronic health conditions that renders a student medically unable to attend school. In recent years, the district's cyber program has also become another option that may be considered. At all levels IEP and 504 management is guided by federal and state regulations. The process for referral, assessment, and implementation of special education services and 504 plans within the district is detailed in the Student Services Procedure Manual. IEPs and 504 plans are managed by five Student Services administrators in conjunction with the building level administrators. At the building level, special education teachers manage IEPs and school counselors, school psychologists, and school nurses manage 504 plans. At both the elementary and secondary level, truancy is addressed based upon the state guidelines and district policies. Based upon the frequency of absences, truancy is addressed progressively by requiring medical excusals, the development of a Student Attendance Improvement Plan and citation for truancy. The district has partnered with K&S to provide families with assistance for improving attendance. Emphasis by staff is placed upon home- school collaboration and removing attendance barriers when addressing truancy. Parkland has a collaborative relationship with many community agencies. The district counselors work with the county children and youth agencies, probation, the Office of drug and alcohol, and the agencies for intellectually disabled students. In addition, the district is coordinates prevention oriented activities with the Center for Humanistic Change, the Weller Center, and various hospitals and behavioral health providers such as Kids Peace.

Frequency of Communication Elementary Education - Primary Level More than once a month Elementary Education - Intermediate Level More than once a month Middle Level Quarterly High School Level Monthly Collabora tion for In terven tions Describe the collaboration between classroom teachers and individuals providing interventions regarding differing student needs and academic progress. Parkland is very focused in their ability to organize and offer opportunities for teachers to meet as a team. At the elementary level, teachers are provided with grade level teaming time where they can analyze assessment data and determine appropriate interventions. Teachers are supported by the building principal, reading specialist, and response to intervention teachers to make sure that student need is addressed. Teachers are provided time to share positive strategies and resources to meet the needs of all learners. The middle school teachers are provided team planning time in which student data is reviewed and analyzed. Students are assigned to teams and the group is headed by a team leader who coordinates the discussions. Curricular items, student action plans, and social emotional concerns are addressed through the grade level team. Parents are provided access to student data and assignments through Home Access Center and Schoology. The middle has implemented a one to one initiative in which each student is provided a computer for both school and home use. 45 The high school is able to meet by department in a professional learning community. The teachers again review data to determine areas of strengths and needs and to determine which students require remediation in particular areas of instruction. This information assists teachers in their classes and also provides information to the school as to the need for various remediation focus or courses to boost student achievement. Throughout the entire district, the teams are supported by counselors, psychologists, and nurses to assist and collaborate with the teachers to address their needs and assure academic progress. A multidisciplinary team is chaired by the school psychologist at all schools to conduct special education eligibility determinations. Teachers, and parents are mandatory members of these teams. In addition, psychologists, nurses, and counselors also manage protected handicapped service agreements mandated by federal and state laws to provide accommodations with students with a health related disability. Teachers are also able to network with each other through an extensive professional development program and in-service opportunities. Finally, the district technology department has fostered collaboration through on line forms, network share drive, google docs, and Schoology. C0111111unitV coordination Describe how you accomplish coordination with community operated infant and toddler centers, as well as preschool early intervention programs. In addition, describe the community coordination with the following before or after school programs and services for all grade levels, including pre -kindergarten, if offered, through grade 12. 1. Child care 2. After school programs 3. Youth workforce development programs 4. Tutoring Parkland has a strong relationship with the community operated child care centers. The district web site lists the child care agencies and schools under the community tab of the district web site. Each elementary school has the feeder programs listed. Parkland reaches out to the pre-schools and day cares on an annual basis to inform them of the kindergarten registration dates and any pertinent changes that may be proposed. The district is a strong proponent for early childhood education. Pre -K Counts is also located in one of our buildings as well as a few Early Intervention IU classrooms. In addition, the YMCA offers "Y Care" in many of the elementary buildings. This before and after school service is available to families and provides assistance for homework, opportunity for healthy snacks, and physical activity. Teachers are required to attend 25 hrs. of certified training annually. Elementary world language, Build Your Amour Fitness Club, and student council also serve extracurricular functions at the elementary level. At the middle school an activity period is built into the schedule whereby students are encouraged to participate in self-selected enrichment opportunities. The middle school also has after school fitness programs and tutoring 46 sessions. At the high school, there are 67 clubs available for student participation. There is tutoring daily after school and during school. The Youth Workforce development programs are fulfilled through Lehigh County Technical Institute. They provide opportunities for high school students to participate in cooperative vocational endeavors whereby a student can receive credit while working in an area of focus. In addition, the student can receive credit in the diversified occupations through LCTI as well. The Intermediate unity provides work based learning programs, and Project Search for students with a defined disability. The district continues to explore opportunities for students to gain employment and to learn about entrepreneurial opportunities such as in emerging health careers and engineering. At the high school a job fair is held in the spring for juniors and seniors to gain summer employment and possibly beyond. The district provides a tutoring list to counselors, secretaries, and principals to forward to parents upon request. Preschool Agency Coordination Explain how the LEA coordinates with agencies that serve preschool age children with disabilities. Address coordination activities designed to identify and serve children with disabilities and the supports and accommodations available to ensure both physical and programmatic access. Address pre -kindergarten programs operated directly by the LEA and those operated by community agencies under contract from the LEA. Describe how the LEA provides for a smooth transition from the home setting and any early childhood care or educational setting the students attend, to the school setting. The Parkland School District collaborates with various community agencies and providers to serve preschool age students with disabilities. For students from birth to 3 years of age the Parkland School District provides services through the Lehigh County Department of Welfare. Students who are 3 years of age to age 5 are provided with services through the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit. The Parkland School District is made aware of a child who may be eligible for special education Early Intervention Services through a referral from a person who has regular contact with the child. Parents, relatives, daycare or preschool teachers, physicians, or other professionals may refer a child. Once a child is referred, the contracted agency determines the need for, and type of an evaluation that a child may require. If a child is determined to be eligible as a result of the evaluation, under the guidelines of the federal law (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the student will receive services that are both free and appropriate. Timely transition meetings are regularly scheduled and held with representatives of the Department of Welfare and the Carbon Lehigh 47 Intermediate Unit to provide a continuity of program from birth to three years of age and 3 to 5 years of age. Prior to a student's entrance into school age programming, the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit schedules a transition meeting between the Parkland School District and the families who are receiving services through Early Intervention. At that time, the Parkland School District receives the information pertaining to the student and conducts an evaluation as defined in Pa. Code Chapter 14: Special Services and Programs, to determine eligibility for school age programing. If a child is identified as eligible, they will then be provided school age special education services. If the child is not determined eligible, then educational recommendations are shared with the receiving teachers to assist in the student's transition to school age programming.

In Parkland school district we have a strong professional development program, offering over 300 academies for teachers per school year. In addition, we offer various online PD opportunities for our staff. Teachers have opportunities to take graduate level courses or participate in conferences, IU courses or Parkland Academy classes. We have many administrators in Parkland that were teachers first. We encourage and provide support for teacher leaders who are interested in leadership roles. Differentiated instruction and formative assessment are focus areas that directly impact teaching and learning. In addition strategies to increase the student's depth of knowledge are integrated in all academic areas. Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how you plan to address their incorporation. One of the growing areas of need is helping our teachers with personalizing instruction and incorporating 21st Century Skills into the classroom. Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Communication are critical skills our students need to be successful in life. Through results from a Clarity Bright Bytes, this has been identified as an area of focus moving forward. Inquiry based education supports these skills. Focusing PD on inquiry based learning will support both personalized learning and 21st Century Skills. Ed uca tor..isci in eAct.12 6, 71.

Checked answers Professional Development activities are based upon detailed needs assessments that utilize student assessment results to target instructional areas that need strengthening. Using disaggregated student data to determine educators' learning priorities. Professional Development activities are based upon detailed needs assessments that utilize student assessment results to target curricular areas that need further alignment. Professional Development activities are developed that support implementation of strategies identified in your action plan. Clear expectations in terms of teacher practice are identified for staff implementation. The LEA has a systemic process that is used to validate whether or not providers have the capacity to present quality professional development. Administrators participate fully in all professional development sessions targeted for their faculties. Every Professional development initiative includes components that provide ongoing support to teachers regarding implementation. The LEA has an ongoing monitoring system in place (i.e. walkthroughs, classroom observations). Unchecked answers An implementation evaluation is created, based upon specific expectations related to changes in teacher practice, which is used to validate the overall effectiveness of the professional development initiative. Professional Education is evaluated to show its impact on teaching practices and student learning. 63 Provide brief explanation of your process for ensuring these selected characteristics. Professional development is typically focused on new initiatives and needs expressed by teachers and administrators via a needs assessment and focused discussions at the school and district level. Data driven discussions take place at all levels where teachers use student data to determine needs and come up with strategies for improvement. District wide data is also analyzed to determine district trends and provide professional education that targets the determined areas of need. Administrators attend professional education opportunities or receive the information in leadership meetings. Administrators monitor new initiatives and focused areas of professional development via observations and walkthroughs. Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how you plan to address their incorporation. An area of need identified is the evaluation of professional education to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the professional development initiative. We started this process by creating a walkthrough form for administrators to use when monitoring instruction in their schools. To further this process, we'd like to have continued conversations with building level administrators to ensure they have the training necessary to monitor the effectiveness of a professional development initiative. Induction pr(koraill Checked answers Inductees will know, understand and implement instructional practices validated by the LEA as known to improve student achievement. Inductees will assign challenging work to diverse student populations. Inductees will know the basic details and expectations related to LEA -wide initiatives, practices, policies and procedures. Inductees will know the basic details and expectations related to school initiatives, practices and procedures. Inductees will be able to access state curriculum frameworks and focus lesson design on leading students to mastery of all state academic standards, assessment anchors and eligible content (where appropriate) identified in the LEA's curricula. Inductees will effectively navigate the Standards Aligned System website. Inductees will know and apply LEA endorsed classroom management strategies. Inductees will know and utilize school/LEA resources that are available to assist students in crisis. Inductees will take advantage of opportunities to engage personally with other members of the faculty in order to develop a sense of collegiality and camaraderie. 64 Unchecked answers None. Provide brief explanation of your process for ensuring these selected characteristics. Each inductee participates in 6 days (36 hours) of orientation in August. The mentor teacher joins the inductee for portions of the 6 days. Inductees have the opportunity to attend monthly new teacher study groups and meets regularly with the mentor teacher. Both the inductee and the mentor teacher receive a Teacher Induction Plan guide and program documents that require completion and submission to the building principal by May 30th. All new professional staff receive some sort of mentorship. Even if they have already been through a formal induction process and they are not new to teaching, if they are new to Parkland, they are assigned a mentor to assist them through their first year as a Parkland teacher. The district is working to transition all induction paperwork, PD and accountability to an online course in Schoology. In addition, our new staff meets face to face monthly with various district leaders for added support. Provide brief explanation for strategies not selected and how you plan to address their incorporation. This narrative is empty. Needs of Inductees Checked answers Frequent observations of inductee instructional practice by supervisor to identify needs. Regular meetings with mentors or coaches to reflect upon instructional practice to identify needs. Student PSSA data. Standardized student assessment data other than the PSSA. Classroom assessment data (Formative & Summative). Inductee survey (local, intermediate units and national level). Review of inductee lesson plans. Review of written reports summarizing instructional activity. Submission of inductee portfolio. Knowledge of successful research -based instructional models. Information collected from previous induction programs (e.g., program evaluations and second -year teacher interviews). Mel Unchecked answers Frequent observations of inductee instructional practice by a coach or mentor to identify needs. Provide brief explanation of your process for ensuring these selected characteristics. Administrators at the building level spend time with new teachers by frequent observations, including walkthroughs; lesson plans are reviewed periodically throughout the school year. Through these observations, principals use the information to have focused conversations with teachers to help summarize the instructional activity and provide feedback. Mentor teachers and inductees meet at least once a month to discuss instructional practices and discuss any needs or questions the inductee may have. Through meetings with the mentor teacher or through collaborative planning meetings, inductees become very familiar with their student data and use it to guide instruction. The monthly teacher study group sessions focus on research based instructional needs, to help build the inductees repertoire of effective instructional practices. Inductees have an opportunity to evaluate the program at the end of the year and submit that information to the district induction council. All program documents are submitted as the inductee portfolio and reviewed yearly. If an employee has participated in another induction program, we review these on an individual basis and determine if credit is awarded for time spent in another induction program. We house previous documentation in their personnel file. Provide a brief explanation for strategies not selected and your plan to address their incorporation. Although visits to the mentor teacher classroom by the inductee or visits to the inductee classroom by the mentor teacher are occurring in small pockets and encouraged, we would like to strengthen this part of the New Teacher Induction program. We plan to require at least two observations in the first year of teaching in Parkland. Conversations with the building principals will encourage them to support this aspect of induction and provide the necessary coverage to accomplish this goal. We'd like to expand those observations to allow our coaches and specialists opportunities to observe the new teacher and provide feedback. Mentor Characteristics Checked answers Pool of possible mentors is comprised of teachers with outstanding work performance. Potential mentors have similar certifications and assignments. Potential mentors must model continuous learning and reflection. Potential mentors must have knowledge of LEA policies, procedures and resources. Potential mentors must have demonstrated ability to work effectively with students and other adults. Potential mentors must be willing to accept additional responsibility. Mentors must complete mentor training or have previous related experience (e.g., purpose of induction program and role of mentor, communication and listening skills, coaching and conferencing skills, problem -solving skills and knowledge of adult learning and development). Mentors and inductees must have compatible schedules so that they can meet regularly. Unchecked answers None. Provide brief explanation of your process for ensuring these selected characteristics. The Human Resource Department works with the building principals to identify mentor teachers who meet specific qualifications. A list of qualifications for the mentor teacher is listed in the New Teacher Induction guide. Mentors are required to be trained and learn the expectations of being a mentor. If needed, the mentor teachers meet with the Director of HR and the Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development mid -year to help support their work.

M Identify the procedures for monitoring and evaluating the Induction program. The district induction council conducts an evaluation of the induction program at the end of each school year. The evaluation is based on the records of participation and program completion. The new teacher, the mentor teacher, and the building administrator complete a Program Assessment document and submits it to the district coordinator. The information gained from these documents, help inform the evaluation. In addition to the program assessment, all parties must complete and/ or sign off on the Verification of Program completion. This document includes dates of monthly mentor and inductee meetings, participation in the New Teacher Study Groups, participation in district professional development offerings, attendance at school and community events, participation in the focused observation model of differentiated supervision, and new teacher participation in classroom visits to the mentor teacher's classroom or other teacher's classrooms.

LEA administrator receives, tallies, and archives all LEA mentor records. Completion is verified by the LEA Chief Executive Officer on the Application for Level 2 Certification. Unchecked answers None. t Special Education Special Education Student5 Total students identified: 1456 IdentificationMethod Identify the District's method for identifying students with specific learning disabilities. Parkland School District (PSD) follows federal and state regulatory guidelines in assessing and identifying students as having one or more of the 13 school-age exceptionalities recognized in Pennsylvania. For the identification of a Specific Learning Disability (SLD), PSD uses the discrepancy model, by which there needs to exists a severe discrepancy between the student's intellectual ability and academic achievement that is not the result of an intellectual disability, emotional disturbance, or other factors such as visual, hearing or motor disabilities, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage. While a parent, guardian, or any member of a student's educational team can request an evaluation for Chapter 14 (Special Education) services, referrals are typically made through one of the district's multi -tiered system of support (MTSS) processes. These pre -referral processes involve universal screening and benchmark testing of all students, as well as more frequent data collection for targeted students. Through regular data -analysis and team collaboration, students are identified for direct intervention in the regular education setting and monitored regularly to evaluate progress. If progress is insufficient, the MTSS team refers the student for Chapter 14 testing. Upon receipt of written consent from the student's parent or caregiver, a school psychologist coordinates and oversees the MDE process. The MDE team may consist of, but is not limited to, the school psychologist, school counselor, nurse, reading specialist, special education teacher, regular education teacher, related service providers, the parent/guardian, and the student. Upon completion of a Multidisciplinary Evaluation (MDE), Special Education supports and services are recommended if the team determines that the student, (1) has a school-age disability, and 2) will be unable to obtain meaningful educational benefit without specially designed instruction. Enrollment Review the Enrollment Difference Status. If necessary, describe how your district plans to address any significant disproportionalities. The data is publicly available via the PennData website. You can view your most recent report. The link is: htt s:/Zpenndata.hb g.psu.edu ZPublicReporting/DataataGlance tabid 2523/Default.aspx Mee According to the 2016-2017 Special Education Data Report, PSD reported a total special education enrollment of 1,422 students, or 15.3% of the total enrollment of 9,309, which is slightly below the state average of 16.5% special education enrollment. Below are district percentages of special education enrollment by disability, as they compare to state averages. Autism: 9.4% PSD, 10.7% PA Deaf -Blindness: --- PSD, 0% PA Emotional Disturbance: 4.1% PSD, 8.5% PA Hearing Impairment Including Deafness: 1. 5% PSD, 1.0% PA Intellectual Disability: 2.6% PSD, 6.5% PA Multiple Disabilities: 1.2% PSD, 1.1% PA Orthopedic Impairment: -- % PSD, 0. 2% PA Other Health Impairment: 12.7% PSD, 14.9% PA Specific Learning Disability: 47% PSD, 41.8% PA Speech and Language Impairment: 21.2.4% PSD, 14.7% PA Traumatic Brain Injury: --- PSD, .2% PA Visual Impairment Including Blindness: --- PSD, 0.4% PA While there is disproportionality between the state and district enrollment percentages for students with Emotional Disturbance, Specific Learning Disability, and Speech and Language Impairment, the district is confident in the validity of its evaluation and identification process. These differences are thought to be a reflection of the community populations that comprise the district, and not an issue of invalid identification procedures. Non -Resident Students erskq 1. How does the District meet its obligation under Section 1306 of the Public School Code as the host District at each location? 2. How does the District ensure that students are receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE)? 3. What problems or barriers exist which limit the District's ability to meet its obligations under Section 1306 of the Public School Code? Parkland School District acknowledges its obligation to educate students who reside in its geographic area, including all students living in group homes. PSD maintains a cooperative relationship with agencies, including ongoing communication with individual caseworkers to ensure an open and collaborative working relationship. When a new 1306 facility moves into our district, a meeting is coordinated to establish open and on-going collaboration, and to ensure that students are expediently enrolled and placed in the district upon arrival at the 1306 facility. For students who reside at KidsPeace National Center for Children in Crisis, a residential treatment facility (RTF) within the District's boundaries, PSD maintains a PDE -approved agreement with KidsPeace and Salisbury Area School District (SASD) by which SASD assumes the general host district responsibilities. 70 Upon student arrival in a 1306 facility and registration at the student's neighborhood school, PSD works in close collaboration with caseworkers and agencies to ensure a smooth and seamless a process, to the maximum extent possible. If the student is indicated as having an Individualized Education Program, or other services as the result of a disability, the district immediately requests records from the previous educational entity and conducts a review to determine the most appropriate placement for the provision of comparable services, in the least restrictive environment possible. If it is determined that additional data is needed in order to provide a free and appropriate public education (FAPE), the district will initiate the evaluation or re-evaluation process, while providing comparable services in the interim -time between evaluation, determination, and program recommendation. It is not uncommon for an agency to have incomplete educational records, and obtaining them from past entities continues to be an ongoing difficulty with Section 1306 students, perhaps due to the transient nature of this unique population. Additionally, determining who has educational rights and making sure that the right people are able to participate in the placement process can sometimes be a significant challenge. There are times, for example, that a parent continues to have educational rights but is not able to be located in order to participate and provide the necessary consent. In these circumstances, the district works with the 1306 staff and any caseworkers and agencies involved in order to enroll and program for the student as quickly as possible. Incarcerated Students Overskqht Describe the system of oversight the District would implement to ensure that all incarcerated students who may be eligible for special education are located, identified, evaluated and when deemed eligible, are offered a free appropriate public education FAPE). While there currently are no correctional facilities within the District's boundaries, PSD complies with section 1306.2(a) regulations, which require that persons under the age of 21 who are incarcerated shall be eligible for educational services in the same manner and the same extent as a student who has been expelled. Incarcerated students under the age of 17 are still subject to compulsory school attendance laws. Pursuant to 1306 regulations, the host" district (the district in which the facility is located) would provide services to applicable students and, typically, charge PSD according to their tuition rate. Least Restrictive Environment 1. Describe the District procedures, which ensure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including those in private institutions, are educated with non -disabled children, and that removal from the regular education environment only occurs when education in that setting with supplementary aids and services, cannot be achieved satisfactorily. 2. Describe how the District is replicating successful programs, evidence -based models, and other PDE sponsored initiatives to enhance or expand the continuum of supports/services and education placement options available within the District to support students with disabilities access the general education curriculum in the least 71 restrictive environment (LRE). (Provide information describing the manner in which the District utilizes site-based training, consultation and technical assistance opportunities available through PDE/PaTTAN, or other public or private agencies.) Refer to and discuss the SPP targets and the district's percentages in the Indicator 5 section - Educational Environments. Also discuss the number of students placed out of the district and how those placements were determined to assure that LRE requirements are met. 1) The general education setting and curriculum is the first consideration in every special education programming decision. According to the 2016- 2017 Special Education Data Report, 63% of PSD students are educated inside the regular classroom for more than 80% of the school day, as compared to a state average of 62.4%. Only 3.7% of students are in regular classes for less than 40% of the school day, compared to a state average of 9.0%, and 1.6% are educated in "other settings," compared to a state average of 6.9%. To ensure that each student is educated in his/her least restrictive environment, IEP teams start with a consideration of supplementary aids and services that may enable the student to make meaningful progress on his/her IEP goals alongside of his/her peers without disabilities. When necessary, this will include consultation and collaboration with outside agencies and or the CLIU21 to, for example, initiate and Assistive Technology screening or SETT process. These supplementary aids and services, along with a consideration of any possible harmful effects of inclusion within the general education setting, are used to determine the most appropriate setting for each individual student. It should be noted that these careful considerations ensure that LRE requirements are fulfilled, even when it is determined that a student would benefit from time outside of the general education setting. In addition to the Director of Student Services, a Supervisor of Special Education, a Supervisor of Health and Wellness, and three Special Education Coordinators, PSD employs two education specialists/consultants who provide support and training to teams to ensure that students are educated in their neighborhood schools and within the general education classroom to the maximum extent appropriate. An Autistic Support Consultant works with teams that provide support to students on the Autism Spectrum, and a Behavior Specialist works with teams to assist with students with behavioral difficulties. Additionally, the district employs a home-school visitor (licensed social worker) who assists families in coordinating supports outside of school and collaborates with agencies to ensure appropriate communication and provision of services in and out of school. This model provides PSD staff with professional development, site-based training, consultation, technical assistance and, when appropriate, direct -instruction and intervention to individual students and/or groups of students. Along with on-site opportunities for professional development, PSD administrators and specialists regularly participate in training sessions offered by PDE/PaTTAN through the CLIU21, as well other training entities. 72 2) In collaboration with PaTTAN, CLIU21, and our Curriculum and Instruction department, PSD offers evidence -based curriculum and models of support, and a continuum of services to meet the needs of all students. Most recently, the district has added curriculum tools and instructional methodologies such as Math180, ST Math, Reading Plus, Lexia Reading, and the Competent Learner Model (CLM). By the end of the 2017-18 school year, our third year of CLM training and assistance through PaTTAN and CLIU21, two district employees will be certified CLM coaches, capable of expanding the CLM model of instruction throughout the district, to classrooms and teams who support students with significant needs. Additionally, PSD continues training and implementation of various multi -tiered system of support (MTSS) models. Our response to instruction and intervention (RTII) initiative continues at the elementary level and is expanding to include a standardized model for behavior. At the secondary level, an intervention period was added to the middle school master schedule during the 2016-17 school year, and the high school master schedule during the 2017-18 school year. Collaboration for designing and implementing an MTSS model for behavior at the secondary level is currently in -progress at the secondary level. Through interdepartmental collaboration between the Student Services, Technology and Curriculum and Instruction departments, PSD has implemented the first stage of a district - wide 1:1 initiative, by which all students will have a personal technology device (laptop computer or tablet). This has enabled the district to meet a variety of needs through the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, a methodology of instruction that is based on accommodating a variety of individual learning differences within the regular education setting. According to the most recent Special Education Data report, PSD met all three targets for SPP #5, Educational Environments. This marks the 4th consecutive year that the district has met all three educational environment targets. In terms of out -of -district placements, the district works collaboratively with parents/caregivers and the CLIU21 to determine if and when such placements are appropriate. Prior to considering a change in programming, however, PSD first looks to ensure that all available resources have been exhausted within the student's current placement setting. Once a student is placed in an out -of -district setting, the IEP team reviews the appropriateness of the setting and considers a return to district -programming at least annually. Beha vior Support Services 1. Provide a summary of the District policy on behavioral support services including, but not limited to, the school wide positive behavior supports (PBS). 2. Describe training provided to staff in the use of positive behavior supports, de- escalation techniques and responses to behavior that may require immediate intervention. 3. If the district also has School -Based Behavioral Health Services, please discuss it. 73 1) The PSD board -approved policy #233, Suspension and Expulsions, provides stipulations for suspensions, expulsions and exclusions, including necessary due -process rights, in accordance with PA state regulations. Additionally, the policy recognizes that suspensions, expulsions, and exclusions of special education students is governed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and relevant state regulations. The two school -board policies that specifically address behavior and discipline for special education (113.1, Discipline of Students with Disabilities and 113.2, Behavior Supports) were last revised on December 3, 2013. In addition to school -board policies regarding discipline and behavior, the PSD Student Services department created the following training memorandums and documents, after a 2015-2016 cyclical monitoring review with the Bureau of Special Education (BSE). 1. Manifestation Determination Procedure Referral to Law Enforcement Procedure Use of Physical Restraints for Students with Disabilities Procedure 4. Required Action following a Physical Restraint In regard to school -wide behavior supports (SWPBS), the elementary level staff has received training from the CLIU21 on developing a SWPBS program. Each elementary school has developed behavioral expectations for several geographic areas, including the classroom, hallway, cafeteria, bathrooms, bus and playground. At the start of each school year, students, administrators, and faculty review the expectations in each area. While significance is given to accountability and consequences for inappropriate choices, the main emphasis the District's SWPBS is on the recognition of positive choices and positive behavior. Each faculty member, including administrators, teachers, support staff, cafeteria staff, playground aids and bus drivers, actively look for positive behaviors and are trained to provide immediate positive reinforcement for exceptional citizenship. In the event that a student continues to struggles given the first tier of the SWPBS, the program includes a second-tier, behavior intervention process to assist students in managing their behavior. Typically, the need for intervention is evidenced by repeated office discipline referrals in short periods of time. A student who is struggling can receive booster lessons on the expectations, individual incentive plans, and/or support from additional staff, such as guidance counselors, to provide small -group and/or individual instruction on coping strategies, decision-making, social skills. Building on the success of the SWPBS program at the elementary level, the district has begun extending its principals and key components to the intermediate and secondary levels (6-12). 2) For crisis situations that pose immediate threat, staff members from each building and level are trained in verbal and physical de-escalation strategies through a program called Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI). Utilizing PSD employees who have completed 74 instructor certifications through CPI, training sessions are offered at least twice each school year, with mandatory participation required from select special education and regular education faculty. Additionally, as mentioned previously, the Student Services department has created training documents and conducted training sessions for district administrators, faculty, and staff regarding appropriate responses to crisis situation. 3) In regard to behavioral health services, the District partners with K/S MST, Inc. to provide truancy intervention and Multisystemic Therapy (MST) services to students and families, in conjunction with Lehigh County Children & Youth, behavioral health, and mental health care agencies. The District also partners with the Children's Integrated Center for Success (CICS) to allow families to access private -insurance funded mental/behavioral health therapies during the school day and within our high school building. Intensive ntert e ` nsurkI . rd to Place Students 1. If the LEA is having difficulty ensuring FAPE for an individual student or a particular disability category, describe the procedures and analysis methods used to determine gaps in the continuum of special education supports, services and education placement options available for students with disabilities. 2. Include information detailing successful programs, services, education placements as well as identified gaps in current programs, services, and education placements not available within the LEA. Include an overview of services provided through interagency collaboration within the LEA. 3. Discuss any expansion of the continuum of services planned during the life of this plan. The District works very closely with the agencies to collaboratively develop plans for students and families, including the CLIU21, the Office of Developmental Programs, Intellectual Disabilities Services, Lehigh County Mental Health, Lehigh County Children and Youth Services, Lehigh County Juvenile Probation, as well as private providers. When the District experiences difficulty programming for a particular student, the LEA contacts the CLIU and any county or private agencies involved with the student. This contact is typically initiated by the District's Home -School Visitor (Licensed Social Worker) or other LEA - representative, such as the Special Education Supervisor, Special Education Coordinator, School Psychologist, or Guidance Counselor. When appropriate, the District will contact the Lehigh County CASSP coordinator to help facilitate a working relationship between all parties and agencies. A meeting, or series of meetings, would be scheduled to bring all parties together to discuss the issues. The District would be an active member of the interagency team to help build an appropriate program for a difficult to place child. Based on individual need, behavioral health providers are invited into schools to observe students and to share their expertise with educational teams in regard to strategies and educational programming. 75 The District's relationship with various agencies, as well as on-going professional development, has resulted in an increased awareness of the need for more unique programming for difficult to place students. In recent years, the District has actively pursued communication, collaboration, and partnership with outside agencies in order to better support a growing variety of student needs. For the start of the 2015-2016 school - year, the District added a full-time Act 93 position, "Supervisor of Health and Wellness." In addition to assuming supervision responsibilities for district nursing staff, wellness programs, and the coordination of Chapter 15 Service Agreements, this administrator actively collaborates with medical providers and outside agencies regarding specific students, as well as general programs and resources that could benefit students with unique and significant needs. As previously discussed, PSD employs two district -wide consultants/specialists and a home- school visitor to work with teams in dealing with students with more significant needs. To varying degrees, each professional acts as a liaison between county agencies, service providers, the family, and the district to help program for students. One of the primary goals of this support model is to build and maintain the capacity to program for and support students who may otherwise be considered for more restrictive placements. Each of these positions are vital resources for teams struggling with more significant needs while. In regard to gaps in programming and plans to expand the continuum of services offered within the LEA, the District continuously examines its special education population and plans for trends and needs that change over time. Additionally, the District's Director of Student Services, Supervisor of Special Education, and Supervisor for Health and Wellness participate in regular "Facilities Planning" sessions with the CLIU21. During these sessions, members from the 14 -district consortium discuss trends in student needs and plan for future programming. For the 2017-18 school year, the District added a second Emotional Support classroom at the high school level, in order to adequately program for students with behavioral needs and lower student -to -staff ratios. Likewise, to meet the needs of students transitioning from Early Intervention to school-age services, the District partnered with CLIU21 to add a K-2 Multiple Disabilities Support (MDS) classroom. In January of 2018, based on the number of resident -students supported by this classroom, the District decided to assume supervision of the classroom. As we monitor the progress and continued needs of students supported by this program, the District will consider expanding the MDS continuum to other grade levels. Describe the strengths and highlights of your current special education services and programs. Include in this section directions on how the district provides trainings for staff, faculty and parents. As part of the planning process, the Special Education Plan committee, as well as other District teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents completed an online survey. 76 Part of the survey asked participants to identify strengths and highlights of the District's current special education services and programs. The following areas were noted. 1. Implementation of the Student Assistance Program (SAP), across all buildings, as a process to mobilize school and community resources to remove barriers to learning, such as drug use and mental health issues. 2. Partnership with the Children's Integrated Center for Success (CICS) to bring private insurance -based mental health services to Parkland High School. 3. Implementation of a multi -tiered system of behavior support across elementary and middle school buildings, including mindfulness instruction in Tier 1 at the kindergarten and first grade levels. 4. Expansion of academic RtII/MTSS to the middle school level through the addition of an intervention period. In addition to providing necessary support to students with and without disabilities, this process has enabled students who require supplemental or replacement instruction to miss less regular education instruction each day. 5. Curriculum resources: PSD continuously evaluates and expands its catalogue of research -based assessment and instructional tools. Since the submission of the 2015- 18 special education plan, the district has added and/or expanded upon STAR Reading, STAR Math, Unique Learning Systems, Fundations Reading, Lexia Reading, Reading Plus, Math180, the Competent Learner Model, Aimsweb Writing, and Zones of Regulation. 6. Increased Training for Support Staff members—during the 2016-17 school year, the Student Services department began facilitating a series of para -education trainings that focus on current best -practices, such as presuming competency and providing support without building dependency. In the 2017-18 school year, the district implemented a Classroom Support Walk-through" tool, through which administrators and specialists can observe practices in action and provide meaningful, immediate "on-the-job" feedback. 7. Implementation and expansion of the Competent Learner Model (CLM), a research - based support model designed for students with Autism and other significant needs. PSD is currently in its 4th year of implementation and has been working with PATTAN and CLIU21 to certify two CLM "coaches" who can then turnkey the model to other classrooms. 8. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)—the District has met the State Performance Plan SPP) target for educational environments for the past 4 school years. PSD includes students with disabilities in the general education setting and curriculum to the maximum extent appropriate, but not at the detriment to quality services and programs. 9. Continued partnership with the Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) for students with significant needs. The District is currently in year 5 of a successful mentoring 77 program that partners Parkland High School students with significant disabilities with LCCC mentors who are enrolled in education courses. The mutually beneficial partnership aims to combine valuable life -skills training with an authentic college experience for PHS students, on the LCCC campus, while offering an irreplaceable hands-on experience to college students who wish to enter the education profession. 10. Peer Assisted Learning Support (PALS) - the PALS program pairs students with significant disabilities with peers without disabilities for academic assistance and mutually beneficial social interaction. The program is extremely popular among students, teachers and parents at the high school level. 11. Elementary Teacher Education Program (ETEP) - ETEP provides opportunities for Parkland High School Students who are planning to pursue education as a career to visit elementary schools and assist in classrooms. 12. Transition support - while the district employs measures to assure successful succession from one grade level to the next, extra care and assistance is employed during grade level advancements that involve a change in building, such Kindergarten to grade 1; grade 5 to grade 6; and grade 8 to grade 9. These years involve parent and team meetings, building visitations, and any other supports necessary given individual student needs. The procedures are revisited each year and adjusted as needed to ensure as seamless a transition as possible. 13. Child Find Procedures - with growing RtII and MTSS models throughout elementary and secondary levels, research -based progress monitoring tools, annual public notification, as well as procedures in place to monitor attendance and respond to parent requests, the District is constantly improving upon already successful Child Find procedures. 14. Staff Development - the special education department offers many traditional and non- traditional training opportunities. Sessions are offered after school hours, as well as via technology, such as in webcast of online video format, in order to maximize flexibility and potential reach. Additionally, monthly special education meetings at each school provide special education administrators the opportunity to train staff members on new items and reinforce previously discussed items.

The result: a generation of kids who suffer from soaring rates of emotional and academic problems, with many falling prey to an epidemic of video game and Internet addictions. In Wired Chi/d, learn why a bevy of social media friends won't keep teens from feeling empty inside and turning to cutting for relief. See how our kids have become smartphone experts who struggle in reading, math, and the other educational basics that colleges consider in deciding admissions. Discover how many "child -friendly" technologies are depriving kids of joy in the real world, putting them at risk for device addictions. Wired Child gives you the confidence and skills you need to safely navigate your children through a rapidly shifting media landscape. Dr. Freed offers concrete parenting strategies that will help you create the strong family kids need and encourage their school success. You'll also learn how to protect kids from destructive tech addictions and instead guide them to use technology productively as a positive force for their future. Thank You Craig A.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Honorable City Council Members, I have been a resident of Anaheim for 12 years now. I love the vibrancy of our city which is enhanced by many factors, but especially by the cultural, religious, and linguistic diversity of my neighbors. In living in other places and in my travels, I've had the opportunity to see how the celebration of cultures in cities which designate neighborhoods to highlight this diversity creates rich experiences for all. Markets, businesses, restaurants, places of worship and cultural centers are of great economic and cultural benefit to the city and its residents. I ask that you consider designating Little Arabia officially so the community, both those of Middle Eastern and Arabic backgrounds and those of us outside the beautiful cultures, can reap the rewards of your decision. Respectfully, Eva Schulte
