Dr. Tony Roehrick presented five of the eight recommendations from the Immersion Study Group to the Governing Board at the May 8, 2014 meeting for Board consideration and approval. The Governing Board tabled the item on May 8 th wanting an opportunity for greater discussion. Member Rob Pappalardo said what he has learned from the data is that if the district is to continue with a clear Immersion Program, the district must to find a way to extend the data acquisition to deal with the issues. Minutes (Adopted)

4 Member Freya McCamant recommended that the District begin strengthening the K-5 program by having fidelity to best practices to the program at the elementary level. Ms. McCamant also said that there needs to be much more in-depth research and evaluation on how to expand and strengthen the program to K-8. Member Kirk Riemer said he is troubled at the lack of data after an having an Immersion program of twenty years. He asked what is the clear definition of a student s success in the program at the High School level and how can it be measured. He said time needs to be taken to look as the many issues and get a clear 360 o view. He also asked how the district could make the Immersion program or other programs equitable to all students who wish to participate. Member Kate Livingston said for Cabrillo Unified being a small school district, the district may need to look at things with a different lens so that all students at every campus can benefit from a second language program. She said the district could look at resuming neighborhood schools. Member Michael Ahern said the district could go back and look at more data from Dr. Molina, and others mentioned to find out what benchmarks they are using to create better programs. Dr. Tony Roehrick said it would be important for the district is to evaluate what is the true purpose of offering an Immersion program. What are the goals? Are students truly becoming bi-literate with a deep level of fluency at the end of the program? It would be important to know where the program is going and what the desired outcomes are. Dr. Roehrick recommended two things that can be done to improve the Cunha experience: 1. That students who enter in kindergarten and continue through the 5 th grade have access to the program in 6th, 7th, 8th grade. Specifically the English Language Learners should not be removed from the program due to scheduling conflicts. Also to improve the program at Cunha, which is a language based program, and restructure it by making it a content based instruction program in zero period beginning next year. This would provide at least one period of content rich instruction where students will be writing and thinking in Spanish. 2. The district needs to return to the Immersion Study Group for further analysis and to be sure the district s resources are utilized to the best advantage for our students. The Governing Board supported the above two recommendations from Dr. Roehrick for the Immersion program for school year. Minutes (Adopted)
