Subject: August 29, 2023 Special Meeting Public Comment
I can not begin to tell you how grateful I am to finally have this type of forum between the City of Concord and MDUSD
It takes a village to raise a child and that can only happen with collaboration between our governments and partnerships within our communities. Strong schools build strong communities and strong communities support local schools.
Parents and guardians alone are not able to carry the burden of educating our children.
Successful schools are created by all of us working together, supporting each other and building the necessary resources that are needed to fulfill student achievement for all children.
MDUSD could benefit with more community partnerships that are focused on before and after school care for all of its Elementary school age children. Tutoring services are needed for all children K-12 along with social emotional support and learning opportunities.
These services not only are needed to assist with learning recovery now but for all future children’s needs that we may not recognize at this time. Children need help with schoolwork, homework, social emotional learning or simply be given opportunities of enrichment both in person and virtually.
A workable solution is not contained within a small box at a specific time developed by the school district. A true solution is a student centered sphere wrapped around the student and their families that is flexible with no boundaries of time nor resources.
K-12 partnerships would benefit the local cities by creating additional employment opportunities of small businesses focused on child development. It would provide a conduit for growing full time future teachers or for teachers not able to work a full class day.
High schoolers and college students would be able to test the waters as they simultaneously pursue their education goals and explore careers in early childhood development.
Right now, 3,250 students, including 500 slots earmarked for “Dreamers”, students of low income, from 46 California Community Colleges and state universities are providing a variety services via the “Californians For All College Corps” while receiving $10K in living allowances and scholarships.
It has been over 5 years since we have had this type of forum and I hope we can learn from each over and discover both boundaries and gaps so that future meetings can focus on developing new opportunities for our children.

Enrollment Trends
Cumulative Enrollment-
In California, FLAT is a success!
Elementary dropped by 1500
students, over 1000 since the
pandemic
Middle Schools experienced a small
increase but now remain flat from
10 years ago
High Schools have remained flat
across 10 years
Middle School
enrollment has
fluctuated between
sites.
Oak Grove is the
only site to
experience a
growth over 10
years as transfers
are no longer
mandated under
NCLB.
Overall high school
enrollment remained flat.
While some sites such as
Northgate High School and
Concord High School
decreased enrollment, Mt.
Diablo High School grew as
a result of NCLB mandated
transfers being eliminated.
Good News for Children and
Families-
The Expansion of Transitional
Kindergarten
Introduced in 15/16 for children
turning 5 in September to
December. The kindergarten cut
off date is September so this gave
the children who just missed it one
more year of school.
Roll out was slow- many families
opted to remain in full day
preschools or daycare.
In 21/22 the state began expanding
the three month window which will
result in eligibility for all children in
to begin school in tk when they
turn 4 years old by 2025.
Class sizes maximum of 24 but staff
to student ratio of 12:1 so assistants
are added to each class.

Dear City Council and Board of Directors,
Living in the state of California, we are tasked with reducing waste and emissions on a daily basis, with making choices that are better for the environment. Yet, if you drive by any public school in MDUSD at drop off or pickup time, you will see hundreds of cars idling, waiting to pick up students. What an environmental travesty! We can eliminate the use of gas and reduce emissions by using buses. I hope you will fight harder for the use of buses for more students in the district.
Sincerely,
Amanda Mischel

Subject: Advocating for school buses
Dear council/MDUSD governing board,
I am writing this email to support the petition for busses from our neighborhood The Crossings to our home school Highlands Elementary. This is a community with more than 1000 houses where almost all children have to be driven to Highlands Elementary by their parents or, in the besg case share the car with a neighbor.
Busses would mitigate the impact in traffic, enviroment and safety of all those children and the community in general. Fewer cars benefits people, the city and our already contaminated world.
Thanks for your attention.
Best regards,
Ignacia Perez Botto
