Jul 19, 2023 Board of Education Meeting

[1. Public Meeting]

[2. Closed Session]

[3. Open Session]

[00:45:22]

I WANT TO RECAP WHEN THING. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF

[00:45:28]

[00:45:29]

[00:45:34]

[00:45:37]

[00:45:48]

[00:45:50]

[00:45:52]

[00:45:55]

[00:45:57]

>> LOOK AT ME. I'M STUTTERING.

>> THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT. IF YOU TALK ABOUT WASTE, WHAT I'M DOING HERE IS JUST AS GOOD AS WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH FIVE PEOPLE WE ARE PAYING. CLOSE TO $1 MILLION.

AND I'M FULLY VESTED HERE. LEADERSHIP MATTERS.

IT REALLY DOES. AND IF YOU WANT LOYALTY, YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE, NOT THE ONES THAT SHOW UP FOR FIVE MINUTES AND LEADS.

YOU CAN ASK THE OTHER DISTRICT THEY WORK FOR.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND I WILL ALWAYS BE DEDICATED TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE STUDENTS. THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

>> NEXT WE HAVE NATHANIEL. >> I'M 6'5".

IT'S KIND OF HARD. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS NATHANIEL. I AM A 18-YEAR-OLD MAN AND I AM NOT PART OF ANY ORGANIZATION AROUND HERE BUT I WILL PRESENT THE YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. I AM A LIFETIME RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF MONTANA. I AM A LATINO MAN WHO WAS RAISED BY TWO OF THE MOST HARD- WORKING AND RESILIENT HUMAN BEINGS YOU WOULD EVER MEET WHO TAUGHT ME THE TRUE MEANING OF ETHICS AND LOVE. AS YOU WHATEVER, I'M HERE TO ADDRESS THE APOSTASY OF ONE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IN THIS WOKE AGENDA THAT HAS BEEN SECRETLY TRYING TO CREEP ITS WAY INTO OUR COMMUNITY TO NOT ONLY EXTORT OUR CITY BUT WAS IN OUR YOUNG MINDS. MY PARENTS HAD A CHILD BEFORE ME. MY OLDER SISTER.

AT THE RIPE YOUNG AGE AT 17 YEARS OLD, 24 YEARS LATER, MY OLDER SISTERS RECEIVING HER MASTERS IN BUSINESS.

THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION PARTNERED WITH A CERTAIN FONTANA COUNSEL BEEN TO BE FORCED IN OUR CITY.

MY CITY. I KNOW I DON'T SPEAK FOR MYSELF WHEN IS IT THE PEOPLE OF FONTANA WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT A FIGHT BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY OUR OLDER CITIZENS, BUT OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.

I SENT IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY TO ASK YOU OR TO IMPORT THROUGH TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE STILL.

IF YOU CAN TELL, I PERSONALLY DO NOT HAVE KIDS MYSELF BUT AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NIECE ON THE WAY.

THE MERE THOUGHT OF MONIES BEING ABLE TO BE MURDERED IN THE NAME OF HEALTHCARE IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIGHT AND SPEAK MY VOICE. IT DOES NOT STOP THERE BY ANY MEANS BECAUSE WE, AS A CITY OF MONTANA ARE A FAMILY AS WELL.

A FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH AND BACK AND HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY TO PUT FOOD ON ENTRANCE TABLES AND CLOSING HER BACK SINCE 2019 AND WE WILL NOT LET THIS WOKE AT THE FAMILY FEDERATION INTO OUR HOME AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT PROPAGANDA.

THIS PROPAGANDA IS BASED OFF OF LIBERAL AGENDAS AND REINFORCING THE FACT THAT OUR FAMILY VALUES ARE BEING ATTACKED.

I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING TO ONE OF YOUR BOARD THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED TO A MEMBER OF OUR CITY COUNCIL.

DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE IN THAT SEAT, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR US.

NO, YOU WORK FOR OUR YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT BE AND THAT'S OKAY BUT LET ME SPEAK A WORD OF ADVICE THAT HAS BEEN ROOTED IN ME SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD, OR SINCE I WAS BORN. WITH THE LORD MY GOD GIVES, THE LORD MY GOD CAN TAKE AWAY AND WHAT WAS AND OUT TO YOU CAN ALSO BE REVOKED IN A BLINK OF AN EYE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS NOT A THREAT.

IT IS A WARNING TO WAKE UP TO WHAT IS TRULY TRYING TO BE

[00:50:02]

>> DON DOOLEY. >> HELLO.

GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT, EVERYBODY, PRESIDENT SERNA, BOARD MEMBERS, EVERYONE HERE AND EVERYONE AT HOME.

MY NAME IS DON DOOLEY AND I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STEELWORKERS LOCAL 8599. WE REPRESENT THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES, CLASSIFIED SUBSTITUTES, SINNER MONITORS, CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND COLLEGE TUTORS.

I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR 23-24.

I THINK SOME GRAY CLOUDS HAVE DISPERSED THEMSELVES HERE AT FONTANA AND I THINK THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE HAVE BROUGHT A NEW LENS OF HOW TO LOOK AT HOW WE ARE PROVIDING FOR OUR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY. OKAY? I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS ON FOR TONIGHT.

OF COURSE FROM THE FIRST ITEM IS THE 5.1.

THE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY WAS TO PROPERLY ALIGN US WITH OTHER DISTRICTS TO ENSURE THAT THE MANAGEMENT SALARIES ARE COMPETITIVE WITH ABOUT 15 OTHER DISTRICTS.

IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY RESULTS, THEY DON'T SAY WHAT DISTRICTS OR WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED.

I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE STUDY TO BE CONDUCTED FOR THE CLASSIFIED STAFF FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

I THOUGHT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA ANSWERED WITH MANAGEMENT. MANY OF OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN LOOKED AT SINCE THE 80S AND 90S.

JUST A COUPLE OF INTO PLAY THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS I BROUGHT HERE TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE WAS JUST POSTED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. A BUYER POSITION AND THIS WAS DEVELOPED BY NASH AND COMPANY FROM CALIFORNIA IN NOVEMBER OF 1989. ANOTHER JOB DESCRIPTION THAT WE HAVE, OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SECRETARY'S IN THE CLERICAL STAFF IN GENERAL. IT STILL HAS ON HERE, TO TAKE AND TRANSCRIBE DICTATION FROM DICTATION MACHINES, AS WELL AS TO TYPE AT A SPEED OF NOT LESS THAN 50 WORDS PER MINUTE AND DO THAT ACCURATELY. THIS WAS REVISED BACK IN 1995.

THIS IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING AND YOU CAN GO LOOK AT THOSE JOB DISCUSSIONS THAT YOU HAVE. I'M ASKING THAT THE BOARD PLEASE CONSIDER DISTRICT CABINET AND CONSIDERED TO HAVE THE CLASSIFIED JOB DESCRIPTIONS LOOK AT.

AFTER ALL WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH 2008, OUR GREAT RECESSION WHO ALL OF US WERE REMAINED. THANKFULLY I WAS ONE OF THEM.

AS ALBERT IS 30, I WILL BE GETTING MY 25TH YEAR ARE IN FONTANA IN NOVEMBER. VERY PROUD OF THAT.

WE WERE SPARED WITH THE REDUCTIONS IN FORCE AND STILL THE WORK I'VE DONE WITH ALL OF US MORPHING OUR POSITIONS AND MOVING FORWARD AND THEN FAST- FORWARD HERE TO THE RETURN OF ALL OF US AFTER COVID AND WE ARE COMING BACK TO HUGE EMPLOYEE SHORTAGES. AGAIN, THE CLASSIFIED STAFF KEEPING THE F USD SHIP AFLOAT AND GETTING WORK DONE AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR STUDENTS, COMMUNITY AND OTHER STAFF.

MANY OF US GOING OUTSIDE OF OUR IMMEDIATE JOB DESCRIPTIONS TO GET THE WORK DONE. I PUT IN INFORMATION AT THE END OF MAY INQUIRING TO THE AMOUNT OF VACANCIES.

THE REPORT CAME BACK WITH 191 THINK IT POSITIONS.

THERE ARE FEWER APPLICANTS NOW THAN COMPARED TO IN 2019.

SO THE THREE HIGHEST CATEGORIES OF VACANCIES, OUR MILD-SEVERE, IRR. JUST AS THEY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE SECRETARY OVER AT CUSTODIAL AND SHE SAID THAT THERE ARE STILL 31 VACANT POSITIONS IN CUSTODIAL, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT YOUR NUMBERS OF OUR SPECIAL AT EIGHT.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I WILL REMIND YOU THAT LAST YEAR, SEPTEMBER 1ST AT THEIR OPEN YOUR MEETING, I WAS ABLE TO

[00:55:01]

DO I CHASE AFTER A STUDENT WHO IS ABOUT TO GO OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD? OR DO I STAY HERE WITH A STUDENT WHO IS HAVING TRAUMA AND BANGING THEIR HEAD AGAINST THE PLAYGROUND FLOOR. I CAN'T BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE BUT I HAVE TO BE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE AIDS.

WE NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE. AS WE HAVE FOUND OUT HERE IN

OUR MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. >> IF YOU COULD PLEASE DO YOUR

CLOSING STATEMENT. >> OKAY.

>> I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION TONIGHT, THE

THREE ITEMS THAT YOU HALF. >> CAN I GIVE YOU SOMETHING? A PIECE OF -- DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE AGENDA ITEM OPPORTUNITY SO THAT YOU ARE NOT CUT SHORT?

>> SO FOR BOTH >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A ITEM

SPECIFIC? >> YES, CAN I FINISH THAT?

>> YOU CAN COME BACK TO THOSE ITEMS.

>> CAN WE MAKE THAT NOTE FOR DON TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT?

>> NEXT WE HAVE PATTY NEWTON, PATRICIA NEWTON.

>> I WILL MAKE THIS VERY QUICK. I AM OVER 18 YEARS EMPLOYED WITH FONTANA UNIFIED DISTRICT, NEWLY RETIRED , BUT I WANTED -- I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SCHOOL AND WITH THE DISTRICT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND WANTED THE THINGS I CAN SAY ABOUT F USD, IS OUR BENEFITS ARE FANTASTIC.

I MEAN, I TALK TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT DON'T HAVE THE BENEFITS WE HAVE, EXCEPT FOR I HAVE AN ISSUE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE IN 2021.

BASICALLY I WAS TOLD BY ANTHEM BLUE SHIELD THAT IT WAS COVERED. WE WENT THROUGH THIS WHOLE RIGMAROLE AND AT THIS POINT, MY DAUGHTER HAS NOW BEEN SLAPPED WITH A -- SOMETHING FOR THE REMAINING MOUNT OF 1300.

I HAVE NO HELP FROM AND SOME BLUE SHIELD AND NO HELP FROM KEENAN AND ASSOCIATE AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS ANY BENEFIT TO ME AT ALL IS TRACY. TRACY FROM BENEFITS, BUT THIS WAS FOR MORE INFORMATION IF YOU LIVE THERE AND HAVE A THEM, I'M TOLD THAT ANTHEM -- THEY PAY THEIR MONEY TO THE MEDICAL CLINIC OR WHATEVER. THEY WON'T EVEN HANDLE ANY OF IT. THEY WON'T PAY ANY OF IT.

THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY PAY A FAIR AND EQUITABLE AMOUNT. FROM WHAT I'M TOLD, IT'S AN EMERGENCY IN WHICH THE EVELYN STATED THAT IT WAS AN EMERGENCY AND IT WOULD BE COVERED. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AMBULANCE SERVICE, SO IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND YOU LIVE AROUND THERE, YOU BETTER SCOOT OVER TO FONTANA AND CALL AND AMULETS.

THAT IS JUST INFORMATION AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY HELP ON IT AND I KNOW YOU PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO KEENAN AND ASSOCIATES AND BLUE SHIELD.

IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW UP WITH AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT A SITUATION AND AN EVENT THAT HAPPENED AT OUR GRADUATION.

I HAVE BEEN TO OVER 17 GRADUATIONS BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS AT THE RACEWAY AND THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD DO IT.

WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT HERE, I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT PERSONS BEING HELD FOR BAD BEHAVIOR. BEING PART OF THIS, WE EXPECT THAT IF A SITUATION WASN'T TO YOUR LIKING AND THAT IT WOULD BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER.

YOU WOULD BRING THAT ISSUE TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE AND THERE

[01:00:09]

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WHEN YOU ARE AT AN EVENT, PEOPLE ARE LISTENING AND IF THIS HAD BEEN RECORDED, THE SITUATION NOT BEING HAPPY HOW IT WAS FRIEND, IT WOULD BE ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EMBARRASSING FOR THE BOARDMEMBER THAT DID IT AND IT WOULD BE MORE EMBARRASSING FOR FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT . IT TAKES A LOT OF PRIDE IN WHO WE ARE, SO I WOULD JUST ASK THAT WHENEVER YOU ARE AT AN EVENT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, HAVE SOMEBODY GOES THAT WANTS TO BE THERE.

DON'T GO. THAT'S EMBARRASSING.

I WANT US TO WANT TO BE THERE FOR THE KIDS.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO NOT MAKE ANY REMARKS, CUSSING OR WAITING YOUR FINGER AT TEACHERS.

EVEN THOUGH I AM RETIRED, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE MY FAMILY, AND IF YOU ARE AT AN EVENT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, PLEASE GO TALK TO THAT PERSON THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> JOHN BERMAN JR. >> GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT. MY NAME IS JOHN AND I IN THE POSITION FOR ACADEMY AND NEXT LEVEL ATHLETES.

I'M HERE TO REINTRODUCE OURSELVES AS A PETITIONING ACADEMY FOR THE CITY OF FONTANA.

WE WANT TO RESUBMIT THE SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. WE WILL USE THE FINDINGS FOR FONTANA SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SUBMIT CHANGES THAT MEET F USD STAFF AND BOARD EXPECTATIONS. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO COLLABORATE AND WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF FONTANA STUDENTS.

OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS GO AROUND, WE HAVE A MORE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH WITH FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, STAFF AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO EACH OF YOUR BOARD MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY THROUGH EMAIL AND ADDICTED TO CALL EVER BOARD MEMBERS VIA PHONE TO SECURE A MEETING TIME IN ORDER TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU HAD FROM PREVIOUS PETITIONS.

WE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU TO SECURE THAT MEETING TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO DO SO IN THE NEXT UPCOMING WEEKS. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL HERE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF STUDENTS AND AS YOU AS ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE PRESENTING THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WOULD MYSELF, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE CITY OF FONTANA AND WHAT IS THE DEMAND FROM STUDENTS HERE? WE APPRECIATE FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ALL EFFORTS THAT HAVE GONE INTO PLACE CONSIDERING OUR CHARTER PETITION . WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS TIME AROUND WE ARE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH WITH EXPERIENCE. THAT BEING SAID, YOU WILL SEE THE BENEFITS OF OUR ACADEMY AND THE CHANGES WE MAKE WILL EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS. IT'S TIME TO START THINKING OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL BOX. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING.

I'M A LIFETIME RESIDENT OF THE FONTANA SCHOOL DISTRICT.

FOR THOSE WATCHING AT HOME AND HERE THIS EVENING OR FOR THE FIRST TIME ARE TUNING INTO THE SCHOOL BOARD OR HAVE BEEN SHARING INFORMATION HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW THAT THE RESIDENTS AND PARENTS ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE AWARE OF.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO TO THE DISTRICT BUT SUDDENLY THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION OF ANY OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS THESE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. AS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY AND WILL REPEAT HERE NOW STATED, ALL INFORMATION YOU SHARE WITH YOU IS 100% SPOT ON AND ACCURATE AS ALL INFORMATION I SHARE HIS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE AND DOCUMENTED AND RECORDED AND VIDEOTAPED AT THESE BOARD MEETINGS AND FOR SOME COMBINATION OF THESE PROVIDING 100% CONTENT VALIDITY.

MARY SANDOVAL HAS BEEN A MEMBER HERE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND HER ACTIONS HAVE BEEN APPALLING.

MARY VOTED AND PASSED AN INCREASE TO DANIEL SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER TRAVEL EXPENDITURES. I RECALL THAT INCREASE WAS $16,000 WHILE TEACHERS WERE SPENDING MONEY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS TO BUY PENCILS AND SUPPLIES FOR THEIR STUDENTS.

SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL THAT MARY SANDOVAL VOTED FOR AN AGENDA ITEM THAT THE DISTRICT USED PUBLIC FUNDS, YOUR MONEY, THE BAY EACH INDIVIDUAL WORD MEMBER TO ATTEND EVENT THAT

[01:05:01]

ALL CAPTURED ON VIDEO, SCHOOL BOARD VIDEOTAPES CAN'T BE REFUTED AND FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, I HAVE COPIES OF THE TAPES RIGHT HERE. SOME OF YOU RECALL THAT MARY SANDOVAL VOTED FOR AND PASSED FONTANA SCHOOL BOARD POLICIES TO ALLOW REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

SOME OF YOU RECALL THAT A STUDENT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR EXPULSION FROM THE DISTRICT AFTER A LENGTHY BEHAVIORAL PROBLEM AND SERIOUS INCIDENTS. THE ADMINISTRATOR STAFF PERFORMED A FULL EVALUATION AND CONCLUDED THAT THE STUDENT POSES A SERIOUS AND SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ALL OTHER STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AND TWO ADULTS ON CAMPUS AS WELL.

RATHER THAN EXPELLING THE STUDENT, THERE WAS A SERIOUS RISK OF YOUR CHILDREN MARY'S WAS THE SWING VOTE AND WITHOUT MARY'S BOAT, THE STUDENT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BACK ON CAMPUS POSING A SAFETY RISK TO YOUR CHILDREN AND I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT THESE ACTIONS COMPROMISE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY IN SCHOOL. CAPTURED ON THE FONTANA SCHOOL BOARD TAPE, THE ACTIONS CAN BE REFUTED.

FOR ANYONE THAT HAS COPY OF THE TAPES.

AND THEY ARE NEEDING TO FILE WITH THE COUNTY AND WHO CONTRIBUTED AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED IN WHAT DOLLAR AMOUNT THESE CONDITIONS CAN THE BOARD MEMBERS MAY RUN FOR OFFICE AND WHILE THEY ARE IN OFFICE AND KEEP IN MIND THAT BOARD MEMBERS NEED TO PREPARE AND FILE THEIR OWN FOR 60S.

ONCE IT'S FILED, IT IS PUBLIC RECORD.

IT SHOWS THAT SHE RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD. WE KNOW THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY AND THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FOR KILLING UNBORN BABIES. WHEN OF THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD CONTRIBUTE A LOT OF MONEY, MONEY GENERATED FROM EXTERMINATING BABIES, TO ELECTED OFFICIALS AND IS PART OF THE BUSINESS MODEL SO THAT THEY CAN ESTABLISH NOT ONLY A LOCATION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES, BUT ALSO A PRESENCE ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES. WE KNOW THAT.

IT IS NOT UNKNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND AND A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER THAT I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU THIS EVENING AND THE SAFETY RISK TO YOUR CHILDREN WHILE AT SCHOOL IS SIGNIFICANTLY ELEVATED BY OUR DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT PLANNED PARENTHOOD THAT SHE RECORDED AS PUBLIC RECORD.

SHE HAS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF HER CHILDREN.

IS EVIDENT FROM MARY'S ACTIONS OF SELF INTEREST ON THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE RECEIPT OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD THAT SHE HAS BLOOD ON HER HANDS RESULTING FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S PROFIT.

IT RESULTED FROM THE RESULT OF THE KILLING ON UNBORN BABIES.

NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. I NEEDED TO SHARE THOSE WITH YOU. THOSE WORDS WITH YOU SO THAT YOU DON'T FORGET THAT NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[4. Consent Calendar Section]

JUST A REMINDER TO THE PUBLIC THAT FOUR POINT WENT TO WAS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR AT THE ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA. WITH THAT BEING SAID, CAN I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS

UPRIGHTED? >> MOTION APPROVED.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> THINK YOU MISS SANDOVAL. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? HEARING NONE, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PEREZ AND A SECOND BY MISS SANDOVAL . THE VOTING SYSTEM IS DOWN AND WE WILL DO ROLL CALL VOTING.

[5. Discussion/Action Section]

[01:10:02]

THESE ARE CLASSIFIED MANAGEMENT SALARY SCHEDULES.

THIS IS TO APPROVE THE REVISED MANAGEMENT SALARY SCHEDULES AS PROVIDED. IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND

TO APPROVE ITEM BY .1? >> MR. PRESS.

>> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. YOU HAD CONSTRAINED AROUND AN ITEM. I JUST WANTED MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT. YOU HAVE ANOTHER ITEM ON THE

AGENDA? >> THE 5.678.

IF I COULD JUST TALK BEFORE 5.6 AND I WILL COVER ALL THREE.

>> THERE IS A PRESENTATION BEFORE THAT AND IF YOU STILL NEED, YOU WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> ANOTHER THOUGHT, I WILL LEAVE OFF EXACTLY WHERE I LEFT OFF. ALL BARGAINING UNITS IN THE DISTRICT AND THE DISTRICT MANAGEMENT RECEIVES THE SAME INCREASES THAT WE HAVE SHADED. AND THIS WAS CITED 26 FROM THE JUNE 7TH BOARD MEETING. OKAY? 76% OF SALARIES AND BENEFITS ARE IN THE BUDGET.

WERE THESE INCREASES TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AT THE TIME OF THAT BUDGET? I HOPE THE DISTRICT WILL DEFINITELY ADDRESS THE NEED FOR CONFERENCE EVALUATION AND THE CLASSIFIED JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND SALARY ALIGNMENT WITH THE SAME DISTRICTS IN THE COMPARISON OF MANAGEMENT.

THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. NOW THAT WE HAVE EVERYONE IN SEATS, THIS ITEM IS FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE SALARY SCHEDULE AS PROVIDED. IS THERE A MOTION IN A SECOND

TO APPROVE? >> APPROVE.

>> THANK YOU, MR. PEREZ. A SECOND?

MR. ARMENDAREZ SECONDING. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> YES, ONE QUESTION. >> MR. ARMENDAREZ?

>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS AWARE, FULL TRANSPARENCY, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A FULL TRANSPARENCY. I KNOW I SAT DOWN WITH DON LAST YEAR, AND WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE DISCREPANCIES.

I THINK WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF GOOD WINDS WITH IMPROVING SOME OF THESE POSITIONS TO 7 OUR POSITIONS, WHERE PEOPLE GET FULL BENEFITS. BUT LIKE WE SAID BEFORE, YOU CANNOT PAY SOMEBODY $16.50 YOU CHANGE AN ADULT DIAPER AND EXPECT THEM TO WANT TO APPLY. SO, I KNOW WITH OUR NEW STAFF, THINGS ARE GOING TO GET DONE, BUT IT DOES TAKE TIME.

PLEASE BEAR WITH US. WE ARE WORKING ON THOSE THINGS.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? HEARING NONE, I HAVE A CALL THAT WE WILL CALL VOTING? MR. ARMENDARIZ? MR. PEREZ? MRS. SANDOVAL? MOTION CARRIES 4-0. THE NORMAL VARIABLE REQUEST FORM VERIFIES THE REQUEST ON TEACHER CREDENTIALING AUTHORIZING THE TEACHING OF STRATEGIES FOR DIANE M BRAVO.

IS THERE EMOTION IN A SECOND TO IMPROVE?

>> I MOVE. >> THANK YOU.

IS THERE A SECOND? I HEAR A SECOND.

ANY COMMENTS? HEARING NONE, ROLL CALL VOTE.

THIS IS FOR THE BOARD TO ACCEPT A NEW READING ON FOR 1.5 ON MENTAL HEALTH. IS THERE A MOTION TO 2ND OR EXCEPT ITEM 594? IS THERE EMOTION?

IS THERE A SECOND? >> JUST KEEP US MOVING.

A MOTION IN A SECOND. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> YES. SO SHE WAS ASKING SOMETHING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH WELLNESS. NOW I AM WONDERING, IS THIS POLICY THE SAME POLICY WE ARE LOOKING AT? HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT QUIT THAT WAS MY

QUESTION. >> WHO IS A QUESTION FOR?

>> THE QUESTION WAS FOR MISS TEEN.

SHE SPOKE UP ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.

WELL, I LOOKED UP THE AB. AND THAT IS WHAT IT WAS TALKING ABOUT. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS THAT SHE WAS BRINGING FORWARD.

SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION. MY QUESTION WAS, IS THE BOARD POLICY THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TODAY, DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT?

>> YOU ARE CLARIFYING THE QUESTION IS BASED ON THE PUBLIC

COMMENT? >> THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND THE POLICY SHE STATED, I THINK IT WAS AB665.

WHEN I LOOKED IT UP, THAT IS WHAT IT WAS TALKING ABOUT.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO A CLARIFYING QUESTION, YOU

ARE GOING TO ASK MISS JEAN? >> MISS JEAN OR THE

SUPERINTENDENT. >> CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THE PODIUM AND ANSWER THE CLARIFYING QUESTION THAT MRS.

SANDOVAL HAS? >> FIRST, IT IS A BILL THAT IS BEING PASSED IN SACRAMENTO. I SAID I DID NOT HAVE MY FORMS HERE. I SAID IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. BUT, NO.

I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THAT HAS TO DO WITH ONE OR THE OTHER.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER.

>> MR. ARMENDARIZ? >> I JUST WANT TO READ AN EXCERPT FROM THIS RESOLUTION, SO THAT PARENTS UNDERSTAND.

I'M VERY HAPPY THAT STAFF PUT IT IN. PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND STUDENTS SHALL RECEIVE TWO NOTICES ON HOW TO INITIATE ACCESS TO STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH.

SO, PARENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED, ACCORDING TO THIS.

NOW, AS FAR AS LAWS THAT ARE COMING, WE CANNOT ADDRESS THOSE THINGS UNTIL THEY COME TO US. AND THEN IT IS REALLY ALL ABOUT LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS AT THAT POINT.

BUT THE RESOLUTIONS THAT WE WRITE AS A DISTRICT INCLUDE

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. >> MR. ARMENDARIZ, JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT WE ARE VOTING ON TODAY'S ACTUAL BOARD POLICY AND NOT A RESOLUTION. OKAY.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PEREZ, A SECOND BY MYSELF. MR. SERNA.

ALL RIGHT. >> WAS THAT A SIGN? SO I WILL CALL FOR THE VOTE. MR. ARMENDARIZ? MR. PEREZ? MRS. SANDOVAL? AND MYSELF. THE MOTION CARRIES 4-0. JUST AS A REMINDER, WE DO HAVE A NEW SYSTEM THAT IS AIRING NOW.

SO, IT IS OUR NEW SWAG SYSTEM. IT IS SUPPORTING VIRTUAL VIEWERS. IT MAY LOOK LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FOR END-USERS. THOSE THAT ARE ON THE AIR, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING IS CLEAR AND IN HD. IF IT IS NOT, WE WILL WORK ON THAT AS WELL. BUT YOU WILL BE SEEING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN YOU HAVE IN THE PAST.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS CLEAR FOR OUR VIEWERS.

ITEM 5.5, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE.

THIS IS THE BOARD MEMBER EXPENDITURES.

THIS IS FOR THE BOARD TO DISCUSS AND APPROVE THE AMOUNT FOR EXPENDITURES FOR THE 2023- 2024 FISCAL YEAR.

COVERING CONFERENCES, RELATED EXPENSES, AND BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING MEALS AND REFRESHMENTS.

AGAIN, AMOUNTS THAT ARE IN THE INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE

[01:20:07]

IT IS THE CONTINUED BUDGET THAT WE HAVE HAD, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK SINCE WE HAVE BEEN ON THIS BOARD.

SO, ANYWAYS, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS UPDATED EARLY ON IN MY TENURE AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO STAY THE SAME.

THAT IS JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 5.5? A MOTION TO APPROVE, IS THERE A SECOND? ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, A MOTION BY MR. PEREZ AND A SECOND BY MR. ARMENDARIZ.

MR. ARMENDARIZ, HOW DO YOU VOTE? MR. PEREZ? MRS. SANDOVAL? MOTION PASSES 4-0. ITEM 5.6, STUDENT SERVICES.

IN AGREEMENT WITH COAST TO COAST COACHING.

I BELIEVE THIS IN BODY WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION FIRST BY MR. BAKER, AND THEN WE MAY HAVE A POSSIBLE PUBLIC COMMENT

FOLLOWING THAT. >> I WILL ASK MR. BAKER TO COME UP AND GIVE A SHORT PRESENTATION.

SHOULD THERE BE QUESTIONS, THERE WERE THREE CONTACT WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW RELATED TO COAST TO COAST.

>> IF WE COULD JUST PULL UP THE POWERPOINT.

ANTICIPATION. SO, I WILL JUST SPEAK.

ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT THERE ARE THREE ENEMAS BEFORE YOU.

THE FIRST ITEM IS 48 CONTRACT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT STAFF FOR OUR AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM.

YOU KNOW, OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED QUITE A ROBUST PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING TO OUR STUDENTS. LAST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM AND PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED BEFORE SCHOOL CARE.

SO, BY APPROVING THIS CONTRACT, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS MAKING SURE WE DO HAVE THE STAFFING AVAILABLE.

WE DO HAVE A RATHER ROBUST PROCESS IN WHICH WE IDENTIFY, REALLY, WHAT THE NEEDS ARE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT USED TO HAPPEN IN THE PAST IS THAT WE HAD STUDENTS THAT WERE NOT ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING, BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE STAFFING OR THE SPACE.

WHAT WE DO RIGHT NOW IS WHEN WE RECEIVE OUR EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM FUNDS, WE WERE PROVIDING THE PHYSICAL ABILITY TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY KIDS ON THE WAITLIST. SO, WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH BOTH OUR CITY AND THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.

YOU KNOW, THEY BOTH REALLY WORK TO STAFF PROGRAMS. BUT SOMETIMES THERE IS VACANCIES OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST CANNOT HELP. JUST BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO FILL THEM. THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY WE ARE BRINGING FORTH 5.6. YOU KNOW, I HAD A FANCY FLOWCHART, BUT IT IS NOT UP RIGHT NOW.

IT JUST GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY BEHIND THAT.

THE SECOND ITEM THAT WE HAVE IS WHEN WE THINK ABOUT CHRONIC ABSENCE RATES, ONE OF THE BIG REASONS WHY KIDS DO NOT COME TO SCHOOL SOMETIMES IS JUST BECAUSE OF LACK OF ENGAGEMENT.

SO, EVERY STUDENT IS MOTIVATED TO COME TO SCHOOL FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID BACK IN 2008 TEEN WHEN MISS IN BODY WAS SUPERINTENDENT.

WE WANT TO FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHY IT IS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE FIND OTHER WAYS FOR OUR STUDENT TO GO OUT THERE AND CONNECT. SO, WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS VERY SMALL AND TARGETED. SO, WE HAD SOME SUCCESS WITH THAT PROGRAM.

SO, THE IDEA IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE BRINGING BACK THAT CONTRACT JUST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR.

SO IT WOULD START ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, AND IT WOULD RUN THROUGH DECEMBER 15TH. AND WHAT WE WOULD DO IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE THREE EVALUATION TIME., WHERE WE WOULD JUST TAKE A LOOK AT, NUMBER ONE, WHO ARE THE STUDENTS BEING TARGETED? AND IS IT HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE CHRONIC ABSENCE RATE? IF IT IS SOMETHING IN HER HAVING A POSITIVE EFFECT, WE WILL BRING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, JUST ANOTHER AGREEMENT TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT COULD CONTINUE. ONE OF THE THINGS OUT THERE THAT WE DID WORK WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND DR.

BOURGEOIS IS THAT WE HAVE A MONITORING SYSTEM WHERE WE JUST WANT TO LOOK AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THE EFFECT IS SEEN IN THE REST OF IT. STILL, DURING THE TIME PERIOD, IT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH ANYBODY'S JOB.

IT IS A SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAM TO REALLY GO OUT THERE AND HELP KIDS GET ENGAGED. UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE I SAID, WE HAD A BRIEF POWERPOINT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT ABLE TO OPEN. BUT JUST TO SUMMARIZE, BIG PIECES WITH THE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT PROGRAM HERE.

IT IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ACCURATE STAFFING SO THAT

[01:25:01]

AS FAR AS THE SECOND PIECE, IT IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE TO HELP KIDS STAY ENGAGED.

AND THEN DR. BOURGEOIS, I WILL LET YOU SPEAK.

>> THANK YOU. THE THIRD CONTRACT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS WITH REGARDS TO PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

MEANING WE ARE PROVIDING TIME FOR TEACHERS TO BE PULLED OUT IN 90 MINUTE INCREMENTS TO REALLY ENGAGE IN REFLECTING ON THEIR DATA AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING IN THAT AREA.

SO, THAT CONTRACT IS RELEASE A TIME FOR TEACHERS.

IN A STRUCTURED WAY. MEANING WE HAVE A SCHEDULE SET UP TO WHERE TEACHERS WILL BE PULLED OUT TO BE ABLE TO TALK AS A GRADE LEVEL TEAM, BASED ON DATA AND REALLY REFLECT ON PRACTICES. SO, THE INTENTION FOR THAT CONTRACT IS TO BE USED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE WAY STUDENTS ARE REQUESTING FOR THAT.

>> CLARIFYING QUESTION? WITH THAT BEING SAID, THESE CONTRACTORS, WILL THEY BE TAKING KIDS OUT IN THE FIELD AND PLAYING WITH THEM WHILE KIDS ARE OUT?

>> IT WOULD BE STRUCTURED PLAY. WORKING ON THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS, BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH KIDS. IT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM THE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION. IT IS NOT PE STANDARDS OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. IT IS PE MINUTES, IF YOU WILL.

IT IS SEPARATE. >> HOW DOES THIS AFFECT TIMES

IN A STUDENT STAY? >> MRS. SANDOVAL?

>> WHERE DO THESE SCHOOL AIDS FIT IN WITH THIS?

ARE THEY NOT A PART OF THIS? >> NOT WITH OUR CONTRACT WE ARE PUTTING FORWARD. NEITHER WITH MR. BAKER'S AS

WELL. >> OKAY.

THAT WAS A QUESTION I RECEIVED BY OUR STAFF.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE PRESENTATION?

>> BLESSING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PRESENTATION. IF YOU COULD GET IT TO THE BOARD AND POSTED ON THE SITE, SO THE PUBLIC THAT IS LISTENING TO THIS MEETING, THEY WILL SEE IT AS WELL.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH, STAFF.

>> SO THESE AGREEMENTS ARE VERY CAREFULLY WORDED NOW.

IN THE PAST, ALEEVO HAVE HAD LANGUAGE SUCH AS SUPERVISOR STUDENTS, WHICH IS WHAT OUR SCHOOL AIDS DO.

SO THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMAL IN THAT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LOT OF INSTRUCTION FOR THEM, A LOT OF CRITERIA FOR THEM TO MEET, THAT IS EXCITING.

I WILL, OF COURSE, BE IN VERY CLOSE CONTACT WITH MY SCHOOL SITE AIDS TO SEE IF THE SUPERVISION IS HAPPENING, TO SEE IF THEY ARE BEING BROUGHT IN BEFORE HOURS, UNDER SUPERVISED BUSING, SUPERVISING AFTERSCHOOL, THINGS LIKE THAT.

IF THEY ARE STICKING TO WHAT IS IN THESE CONTRACT, THEN THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING FOR FONTANA. BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. FIVE A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR ALL THREE CONTRACTS. THAT IS QUITE A BIT OF MONEY.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR SCHOOL SITE AID, YOU KNOW, THAT I GET THERE FEEDBACK AS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

AND JUST IN CLOSING, IN CLOSING, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR TO BRING PROSPERITY AND GOODNESS TO ALL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE COLLABORATIVE, AS IN THE USW WITH THE DISTRICT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF US TOGETHER TO MAKE PROGRESS.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> MRS. SANDOVAL? >> I COULD NOT FIND IT AT THE TIME YOU ASKED ME. BUT THE REASON FOR MY QUESTION WAS, IN OUR EXECUTIVE CONTENT, IT STATED THAT CLASSIFIED DISTRICT EMPLOYEES WILL ALSO BE OFFERED OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET ADDITIONAL ENRICHMENT IN CLUBS AND STUDENT MEETINGS AFTER SCHOOL. SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE WERE GIVING OPPORTUNITY TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY, WE WERE ALSO GIVING OPPORTUNITY TO OUR DISTRICT EMPLOYEES.

THAT WAS MY QUESTION. AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE DOING THAT. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE WERE TOLD. THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. WITH ALL OF THAT, WE ARE NOW AT 5.6. THIS IS THE AGREEMENT WITH COACH TO QUIVERING -- COACHING INCORPORATED.

DOING BUSINESS TO PROVIDE ENRICHMENT CLASSES.

IS THERE A MOTION TO PROVIDE? THANK YOU MR. ARMENDARIZ,

[01:30:13]

MR. ARMENDARIZ? MR. PEREZ? MRS. SANDOVAL? 4-0, THE MOTION PASSES.

THIS ITEM IS FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE IN PERSON LEARNING SUPPORT. IS THERE A MOTION TO PROVIDE IN

5.7? >> MR. ARMENDARIZ? OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND? MR. PEREZ? ANY DISCUSSION ON ITEM 5.7?

>> I HAVE A COMMENT. MY CONCERN IS THE CHRONIC ABSENTEE RATES. I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER DISTRICT, THERE ARE ONLY THREE THAT FALL WITHIN THE GUIDELINES. THE REST ARE OUT OF CONTROL.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN.

WHEN CHILDREN ARE NOT IN THEIR SEATS, THEY ARE NOT LEARNING.

WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN THEIR SEATS AND THEY COME BACK NEXT DAY, THEY HAVE LOST OUT. VERY FEW TIMES WILL THEY GET THAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THAT AGAIN.

SO, ALSO, ON ANOTHER NOTE, CHILDREN THAT ARE IN SCHOOL AND ARE NOT BEING -- WHAT I SAY PART OF THIS CONNECTEDNESS? THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE LOOKING FOR HELP.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FRIEND, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE HIRING TO COME AND PLAY SPORTS WITH THEM AND STUFF. HOPEFULLY THEY GET, SOMEHOW CONNECTED WITH THAT BUNCH OF KIDS.

AS I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE THAT ARE LOOKING. SO, PLEASE, HELP US OUT.

>> ONE QUESTION, PLEASE. >> SUPERINTENDENT, CAN YOU LOOK AND JUST GET US AN ACTUAL NUMBER FROM LAST YEAR ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE ON A WAITING LIST? I KNOW SOME SAID WE HAD ZERO, BUT I DID HAVE SOME PARENTS STATE THEY COULD NOT GET THERE KIDS IN THE PROGRAM.

THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT UP SIX MONTHS AGO ABOUT HOW WE WOULD CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON GETTING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE CORE ACCESS TO THESE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS.

TO MAKE YOUR TALK ABOUT 5.6? >> YES BUT I JUST FORGOT TO ASK

ABOUT THEM. >> MARY, YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT 5.7? 5.7 IS A REMINDER TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL THAT IT IS A HAPPIER CONTRACT.

SO THAT WE CAN ASSESS AND DETERMINE OUR MOVE FORWARD.

IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN PROVIDE IN HOUSE OR IF WE NEED TO CONTINUE PROVIDING IT THROUGH AN OUTSIDE SERVICE.

IT IS OUR TIME TO RE-EVALUATE. >> ALL RIGHT.

ANY OTHER FURTHER DISCUSSION ON 5.7? I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. ARMENDARIZ AND A SECOND BY MR. PEREZ. MR. ARMENDARIZ, HOW DO YOU VOTE? 5.8, TEACHING AND LEARNING. THIS IS AN IMAGE WITH CLOSE TO COACH LEARNING INC. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE ENTERING INTO AGREEMENT WITH COACH -- COAST TO COAST COACHING. IS THERE A MOTION OR A 2ND TO

APPROVE? >> THANK YOU, MR. PEREZ, THANK YOU, MRS. SANDOVAL. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PEREZ.

MR. ARMENDAREZ, HOW DO YOU VOTE? MR. PEREZ? MRS. SANDOVAL? MOTION PASSES 4-0 WITH ONE ABSENT.

ITEM 5.9. THIS IS FROM TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. RESOLUTION NUMBER 2318.

THIS IS DONATION AND DISPOSITION OF OBSOLETE SURPLUS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE BOARD TO ADOPT AS MOTION OF HER 23 AND TO DECLARE THE SPECIFIED COMPUTERS AND OTHER COMPUTER -RELATED ACCESSORIES CONSIDERED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS TO BE OBSOLETE AND NO LONGER SUITABLE FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES. AN AUTHORIZED STAFF CAN DONATE OR DISPOSE OF SAID PROPERTY. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADOPT ITEM

5.9? >> MR. MENDONCA -- MR. ARMENDAREZ? GEEZ, I WONDER WHO WILL SECOND.

MR. PEREZ. >> I AM EXCITED WE ARE DOING THIS, ESPECIALLY GRADUATE STUDENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THESE. IT IS A LOT OF EXPENSES.

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT WILL END UP GOING TO, YOU KNOW, JUNIOR COLLEGES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK IS, BEFORE WE DECIDE TO JUST DISPOSE OF THEM, I'M PRETTY SURE THERE ARE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WE CAN LOOK AT BEFORE WE JUST THROW SOMETHING

[01:35:01]

BUT IF WE STILL HAVE SURPLUS, I WOULD ASK THAT WE LOOK AROUND TO SEE WHERE WE CAN BEST SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

>> YES. I WILL GIVE DR. WOODS A CHANCE JUST TO EXPLAIN TO YOU SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES ON THE

HORIZON IF THIS PASSES. >> ALL RIGHT.

MRS. SANDOVAL? >> HOW IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN? WE WILL CONTACT RECENTLY GRADUATED STUDENTS?

HOW IS IT GOING TO WORK? >> DR. MARKOVICH?

>> MY COORDINATOR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH MICHAEL GARCIA IN THE FOUNDATION. SO THE COMPUTERS, I BELIEVE THEY JUST, THE STUDENTS GET TO KEEP THE ONES THEY HAVE BEEN USING. IF I'M NOT CORRECT, I WILL CORRECT THAT. AND THEY MAKE SURE ALL THE COMPUTERS WORKED BEFORE DONATING THEM.

WE DO NOT SURPLUS THEM UNLESS THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT FUNCTION ANYMORE. BUT THIS IS A MOVE THAT JUST BENEFITS, BECAUSE THE KIDS HAVE TO APPLY TO A JOB, THEY CAN USE IT FOR SCHOOL, THEY CAN GET A FEW YEARS OUT OF IT.

[6. Comments]

I MEAN, IT IS AN ADVANTAGE TO ALL OF US, BECAUSE OUR KIDS, WHEN THEY LEAVE US, IT WILL HELP THEM KEEP GOING AND NOT HAVE THAT EXPENSE. BUT I BELIEVE ALL THE KIDS GET TO KEEP THEIR COMPUTERS THEY HAVE BEEN USING HERE.

>> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. ARMENDAREZ AND A SECOND BY MR. PEREZ. MRS. SANDOVAL? THE MOTION PASSES 5 0. WE ARE ON ITEM NUMBER 611, BOARD NUMBER COMMENTS. I WAS THERE WITH MR.

ARMENDAREZ? >> I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT TODAY AND REPRESENTING THEMSELVES.

THAT IS WHAT THIS FORM IS FOR. THERE IS ONE THING I HAVE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC. THERE ARE SOME THINGS OUTSIDE OF OUR PRIVY. AS FAR AS STUDENTS, FOCUSING ON STUDENTS EDUCATION IS OUR PRIORITY.

BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE DO HAVE CONTROL OVER.

BUT I THINK YOU FOR COMING TO SHARE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU GUYS DO SHARE. TAKE YOU FOR PRAYING OVER US, DANNY. I'VE REVIEWED EVERY BIT OF PRAYER I CAN GET. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT I DO EVERY DAY I TURN AWAY FROM YOU GUYS.

I PRAY FOR GOD TO HELP ME MAKE DECISIONS.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING OVER US AND SHARING EVERYTHING YOU GUYS HAVE FOR US. YOU ARE RIGHT.

IT IS A VERY TOUGH JOB. I THINK OUR DISTRICT IS DOING WELL AT THE THINGS THAT ARE WITHIN OUR CONTROL.

I AM PROUD OF WHAT WE DO AS A COLLECTIVE TARGETING TEAM.

BECAUSE, TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ONLY ONE BOARD MEMBER.

NOTHING CAN GET DONE UNLESS WE WORK TOGETHER.

I WANT THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT THAT IS OUR FOCUS.

BUT A NUMBER ONE FOCUS IS NOT JUST TO WORK TOGETHER, AND SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR MYSELF, AND I FEEL LIKE I SHARE THIS SENTIMENT WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, IT IS OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THE MORE AND MORE WE HEAR ABOUT HOW LOW OUR SCORES ARE, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THAT LADY RIGHT THERE SITTING IN THAT SEAT. BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAKE CHANGE.

AND CHANGE COMES SLOWLY. BUT WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY GIVE THE TIME. IN A YEAR, IF YOU SEE WE ARE FAILING, BY ALL MEANS, COME OUT HERE AND HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE.

BUT I THINK OF AS A COLLECT, AGAIN, WE ARE DOING A GOOD JOB AT MAKING SURE WE ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN POSITIONS TO MAKE THIS DISTRICT WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE AND WHAT IT CAN BE.

BECAUSE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING THEY WANT, AS LONG AS WE GIVE THEM THE TOOLS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO DO IT.

SO, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

AGAIN, OUR CABINETS, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOU DO, THE HARD WORK AND THE HOURS YOU PUT IN. I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST 9:00 TO 5:00 TO GUYS AND I TRULY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO. OUR BARGAINING TEAM, THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING OUT AND SHARING EVERYTHING YOU CAN WITH US, MAKING US AWARE OF WHEN THINGS ARE NOT RUNNING AS WELL AS YOU GUYS FEEL THEY CAN BE. WE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS. NOT JUST FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT OUR STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE COMPLETELY INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING WE DO. I TRULY, TRULY WANT TO THANK MICKEY FOR THE CHANGES IN EVERYTHING SHE IS DOING.

BECAUSE I SEE IS GOING PLACES THIS YEAR AND MOVING FORWARD.

AND, YOU KNOW, TO ME, THAT IS THE BLESSING.

[01:40:06]

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A BLESSED NIGHT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. >> THANK YOU, MR. ARMENDAREZ.

MRS. SANDOVAL? >> THANK YOU.

AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. COMMENTS WERE MADE, YES, I AM USED TO IT, NO, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE IN THE SEAT.

I DO WHAT I CAN, I DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.

YES, I DO VOTE ON THINGS THAT SOMETIMES GET TWISTED, AND THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT, AND IT WILL BE LIKE THAT UNTIL MY LAST DAY IN OFFICE.

BUT I DO WHAT I NEED TO DO. I DO CALL THE STAFF THAT I NEED TO CALL, I DO LOOK INTO THINGS. AND NO, I DID NOT BRING PLANNED PARENTHOOD TO FONTANA. THAT IS OUT OF OUR JURISDICTION. SO, TAKE IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL. BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN OUR DISTRICT. IT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SIERRA PIERCE WHOEVER THE COUNCILMAN THAT HAS THAT DISTRICT, THAT IS THEIR JOB. THEY HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SAY NO, BUT THEY DIDN'T. SO I WOULD GO BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND TALK TO THEM. HE IS THE ONE LEADING THIS FIGHT, WHICH IS OKAY WITH ME, I MUSED TO HIM COMING IN AND GIVING ME GRIEF. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I LIKE THAT. AT LEAST I KNOW WHERE HE IS AT.

WHAT IS THAT SAYING ABOUT ENEMIES? KEEP THEM CLOSE. YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AT.

BUT ANYWAYS, ALL OF YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT.

ANYWAYS, YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU COMING AGAIN. GOD BLESS YOU.

I THINK YOU, MRS. SANDOVAL. MR. VICE PRESIDENT PEREZ?

>> THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. I'M ACTUALLY GLAD WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE STILL AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

THERE IS REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS, BECAUSE WE WILL BE TAKING THE LEAD ON SOMETHING IMPORTANT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE CHIEF GRIFFIN GET THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR IT.

HE AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATE TOGETHER, AND OUR DISTRICT IS HOSTING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PAROLE ON ANKLE MONITORS. BUT WHAT I LOVE THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW IS THAT FROM OUR POSITION DOWN, THERE ARE 7000 PEOPLE ON PRO ANKLE MONITORS PEER 75% OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE SEX OFFENDERS AND SEX REGISTRANTS.

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO SEX OFFENDERS AROUND OUR SCHOOL. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER.

IT IS ONLY BECAUSE CHIEF GRIFFIN AND MYSELF WERE ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH TRAINING AND PEOPLE TO GET THE SAFETY TO OUR KIDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THAT.

SAFETY IS ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS, AS WELL AS MENTAL HEALTH, AS EVERYBODY KNOWS. I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR 5 YEARS NOW. AND THOSE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE TOP TWO THINGS I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CHIEF GRIFFIN GETS HIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, AS WELL AS THE STAFF, SERGEANT BATISTA FOR WORKING AND MAKING SURE THAT EVEN THE SURROUNDING CITIES AROUND US ARE GETTING THE SAME TRAINING AS WELL. IN ADDITION, I SEE DR. ROGERS BACK THERE. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ACTUALLY PROMOTING ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT I HAD, FINANCIAL LITERACY.

HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE IT TO THE EIGHTH GRADE, WHICH WAS SO SUCCESSFUL. I WOULD LOVE FOR HIM TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ON WHAT HE SHARED WITH THE EIGHTH GRADE, HOW IT BENEFITED, AND THE COMPENSATIONS -- CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE HAD BETWEEN PARENTS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS THAT WERE THERE. FINANCIAL LITERACY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IN THE TIMES WE ARE FACING.

THE MORE EDUCATION WE CAN GET REGARDING IT, I WELCOME IT.

I KNOW MR. ROGERS WAS THE BEST PERSON TO PLATEAU IT OR SHOW IT OFF AT OUR SHOWCASE, ENTER DISTRICT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE GETS THE RECOGNITION FOR THAT.

AND LASTLY, I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS PROBABLY IN THE WORK, BUT WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WI-FI OR SIGNAL IN THIS ROOM. I DO NOT CARE IF WE HAVE GUESTS AT TWO SEPARATE -- BUT I'M LOSING SIGNAL AND MY BATTERY IS DEAD. BUT I THINK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT. WE ARE MAKING SOME POSITIVE CHANGES. AGAIN, CHANGES NOT FAST, IT IS SLOW. BECAUSE WE NEED TO GO TO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE DOING EVERY THING PROPERLY AND CORRECT.

-- HAS ONLY BEEN HERE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT SHE HAS MADE SOME EASY POSITIVE CHANGES.

SHE IS ALWAYS OUT THERE AT EVERY EVENT, SHE MAKES ME TIRED JUST WATCHING HER ON HER SOCIAL PREMEDIA PROMOTING US AND MAKING US LOOK AS THE DISTRICT I KNOW WE ARE, THAT WE ARE BECOMING, AND WE ARE GOING TO SET THE STANDARD FOR THE REST OF THE DISTRICTS TO FOLLOW. I PROMISE THAT.

[01:45:02]

NIGHT. >> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT PEREZ. I WOULD JUST KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF. IN A WEEK AND A HALF, WE START SCHOOL. AUGUST 3RD.

WE ARE HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING ON TEACHERS COMING ON CAMPUSES A FEW DAYS BEFORE THAT.

I KNOW MUCH OF OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE SUMMER AND WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS WELL.

I JUST WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW SCHOOL YEAR FOR AUGUST 3RD.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WE ARE DOING HERE IN FONTANA TO SERVE OUR 34,000+ STUDENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY.

SO, THANK YOU ALL. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

I WILL PASS IT OVER TO MS. INBODY.

>> I WANT TO THANK OUR ENTIRE LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT CAME TOGETHER OVER SUMMER . MAINLY WITH THE LEADERS ON THE BACK AND ON THE SITE HERE CONTRIBUTING TO THE SUCCESS OF THOSE TWO DAYS. I'M JUST SO PROUD TO SERVE ALONGSIDE THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION, LEADERS, AND OUR COMMUNITY HERE. IF WE HAD A CHANCE TO CONNECT AND EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING RELATIONSHIP AS A FOUNDATION OF OUR WORK, WE ARE WORKING WITH PEOPLE, WITH STUDENTS, WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

WE HAD A CHANCE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN WORKING TO COLLABORATE AND DEVELOP ALIGNED GOALS PER THE ALIGNED GOALS WE ARE WORKING ON TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOLARS, STAFF AND PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY, SO IT WAS NUMBER ONE.

LASER -LIKE LOOK IS ON POWERFUL ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR ALL STUDENTS, ALL MANAGERS, ALL STAFF.

NUMBER TWO, WITHOUT FAIL, FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL INTIMATE A SAFETY FOR STUDENTS IN SEPT.

NUMBER THREE, FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH PRO ACTIVE COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IN THE FOURTH ONE, F USD WILL BE STEWARDS OF PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS TO A PURPOSEFUL USE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES. THOSE ARE THE GOALS IN THE AREAS OF FOCUS WE ARE WORKING AROUND.

WE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR BOARD GOALS. A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT. THE LAST THING WE DID AS A GROUP WAS EMPOWER ALL OF OUR LEADERS TO PROVIDE THE BEST LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR SCHOLARS AS THEY START SCHOOL HERE ON AUGUST 3RD. AS WELL, WE DEEPENED OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HIGH- PERFORMING EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS ACROSS THE WORLD TO BENCHMARK OUR DISTRICT AGAINST WHERE CAN WE IMPROVE, WE HAVE GAPS, STRENGTHS, AND HOW DO WE IMPROVE IN A CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF IMPROVEMENT
