BUT REALLY THE, THE TRUE HONOR, AND WHAT I REALLY ENJOYED MOST ABOUT THEM WAS REALLY SEEING THEM DEVELOP AS A YOUNG MAN OF CHARACTER. AND THEY, THEY REALLY ARE THE EMBODIMENT OF THEIR COACH, WHO IS A PREVIOUS FONTANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CHAMPION OF THE WEEK, AND THEIR COACH AND THE STUDENTS WHO, WHO PLAY HARD FOR HIM, THEY, THEY SHOW UP, THEY PLAY HARD, THEY PLAY FAIR, THEY GIVE THEIR BEST EFFORT, THEY LEAVE EVERYTHING THERE.

>> BOARD PRESIDENT? BOARD MEMBER --

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, YOU KNOW, MAKING FONTANA PROUD, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTING OUR DISTRICT, GIVING US SOME GOOD STREET CREDIT OUT THERE IN THE BASKETBALL COMMUNITY, RIGHT? SO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

CONGRATULATIONS. >> VICE PRESIDENT HOLLEY?

>> THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, AND JUST TO WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HAD SAID. IT TAKES A LOT OF DETERMINATION, AND THERE'S A LOT OF CHARACTER THAT GOES INTO BEING ON A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM, BECAUSE ANYONE CAN PLAY A SPORT, BUT TO SHOW UP EVERY DAY AND DIG DEEP WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT AND JUST SHOWING UP AND GIVING YOUR ALL DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, THAT TAKES A LOT. SO KUDOS TO YOU. GREAT JOB. YOU ARE THE SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT REALLY, TRULY GIVES THAT EXTRA EFFORT, SO CONTINUE TO DO THAT IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL ALL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.

>> AND I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS, AND, COACH, I AM GOING TO DONATE TWO BASKETBALLS. I WOULD LIKE BOTH OF THEM SIGNED BY EVERYBODY ON THE TEAM, ONE TO BE POSTED, AND SECOND ONE I MAY, YOU MAY SEE ON EBAY, JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY MAKES IT. BUT CONGRATULATIONS, AND WE DO HONOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE, AND IF ANYBODY DOES MAKE IT ON THE NBA, I WILL SPLIT IN HALF WITH IT, SO. ALL RIGHT.

>> WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY A LITTLE CONGRATULATIONS. MAKING -- IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN A SPORT AS WELL. AND SO I WANTED TO SAY, FONTANA'S SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS. AND I'VE BEEN TO THE BASKETBALL GAME. IT'S REALLY INTENSE, AND IT'S REALLY, LIKE, REALLY PUMPED UP ENERGY, SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY, WE ARE SO GLAD THAT YOU GUYS PUT IN SO MUCH WORK, AND TO MAKE IT TO CIS, AND ALL THE, ALL THE STUDENTS ARE PROUD OF YOU, AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. >> CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING

PLEASE? >> YES SIR.

>> SO WE ARE CURRENTLY FUNDRAISING FOR OUR CIF CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS.

THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE A SCHOOL

[00:15:04]

>> NO, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, VICE PRESIDENT HOLLEY. DISTINGUISHED BOARD MEMBERS AND, WHO IN MY -- NO, AND SUPERINTENDENT -- I WAS GOING ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE. AND, OF COURSE, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY. I'M THE PROUD PRINCIPAL AT RAIN RUBEL MIDDLE SCHOOL, JUST GETTING READY TO FINISH UP MY SIX YEAR. WE'RE IN PANIC MODE. THERE'S 39 DAYS LEFT, SCHOOL DAYS LEFT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS READY TO MOVE ON FROM US, OR MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GRADE. JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOME GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT WAYNE RUBEL, AND THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THAT WE LIMITED DOWN TO OUR HOUSE SYSTEM, WHICH WE PUT IN PLACE, STARTED LAST YEAR TO HELP STUDENTS WITH A SENSE OF BELONGING AND CONNECTING TO SCHOOL, HAVING ADULT MENTORS, AND ALSO OUR PATHWAYS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE PAST, SINCE -- WAS THERE, THEY FIRST STARTED WITH THE STEAM PROGRAM TO FEED INTO OUR, OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. SO WE'RE DOING FOUNDATIONS TO FEED INTO OUR PATHWAYS TO GET OUR KIDS READY.

AND WE HAVE A VIDEO TO SHOW YOU THAT WE'D LIKE TO SHARE, AND THEN I'LL HAVE THE, THE KIDS COME UP, SOME OF THE HOUSE LEADERS, JUST TO REALLY QUICKLY TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT YOUR HOUSES, SO YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE THAT YOU

ARE NOW IN. THANK YOU. >> WAYNE RUBLE WAS RECOGNIZED AS A SCHOOLS TO WATCH SCHOOL BACK IN 2019 FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED REDESIGNATION IN 2022, AND THEN JUST RECENTLY REAPPLIED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND RECEIVED REDESIGNATION AS A SCHOOL TO WATCH IN 2025. AND PART OF THAT PROCESS IS, IT'S AN ONGOING PROCESS OF IMPROVEMENT. SELF REFLECTION AND IMPROVEMENT, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SCHOOL FOR YOUR STUDENTS AFTER COVID. WE SAW STUDENTS WERE CONNECTED TO SCHOOL AS MUCH, AND SO THAT SENSE OF BELONGING WAS GONE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE DISTRICT HAD SENT ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO AROUND PARK ACADEMY TO EXPERIENCE THAT, AND WE CAME BACK WITH STRATEGIES TO USE IN THE CLASSROOMS AND THE HOUSE SYSTEM TO HAVE KIDS GET CONNECTED A LITTLE MORE.

>> I FEEL LIKE THIS PROGRAM HAS REALLY HELPED MY LEADERSHIP STUDENTS KIND OF TAKE INITIATIVE IN SOME, LIKE, ACCOUNT ABILITY FOR THEMSELVES, AND REALLY BE PART OF THE SCHOOL. MOST OF THE FEEDBACK I GET FROM THEM THAT THEY'VE REALLY ENJOYED BEING PART OF WHAT HAPPENED AT SCHOOL, AND THEY REALLY FEEL LIKE A BIGGER SENSE OF BELONGING, AND IT REALLY HAS PROPELLED LOTS OF THEM TO WANT TO HAVE SPEAK AND TYPE OF ROLES AND LEADERSHIP ROLES, WHICH, FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS, IS HARD. SO THAT'S A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT, I THINK, FOR THEM.

>> THE HOUSES DO STUFF DURING THE MONTH, SO EACH HOUSE WILL GET A DIFFERENT MONTH TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS, LIKE, RELATED TO THE HOUSE SYSTEM. SO, LIKE, RIVERHEAD A MONTH, AND WE DID BASICALLY EVERYTHING THEMED DREAMERS. LIKE, IT'S IMPORTANT BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT, BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL INCLUDED, LIKE THE SIX GRADERS, EVERY TIME WE SPIN THE WHEEL, LIKE, THEY FEEL INCLUDED INTO THE SCHOOL, GET WELCOMED TO THE SCHOOL, AND WE DO DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES SO PEOPLE CAN FEEL INCLUDED.

>> WHEN THERE'S A HOUSE PROGRAM, I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE LIKE, EVERYONE'S INVOLVED IN THE BIGGER PICTURE OF SCHOOL, YOU KNOW? I FEEL LIKE IT SHOWS, LIKE, WE'RE NOT DIFFERENT, WE'RE, LIKE, IN THE SAME HOUSE, SO WE'RE, LIKE, TOGETHER, IN,

LIKE, SCHOOL. >> SOME OF THE GAINS ARE LIKE TEAMWORK GAMES, SO IT HELPS THEM, LIKE, BUILD A CONNECTION, AND, LIKE, MAKE NEW, OR, LIKE, TALK TO NEW PEOPLE AND STUFF.

>> HAVING THE HOUSE SYSTEM HAS HELPED US, OR TO ME, LIKE, BY LEARNING FROM THE PAST, AND ALSO, LIKE, BUILDING, LIKE, A STRONGER COMMUNITY. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE, LIKE, SEPARATE HOUSES, WE DO THEM SEPARATELY, BUT WE'RE ALSO STILL, LIKE, ALTOGETHER.

>> IS A HOUSE LEADER, AND, IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT FROM JUST BEING, LIKE, A STUDENT WHO IS NOT IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE, WHICH I'VE EXPERIENCED FROM THE BEING IN SIX TO SEVENTH GRADE, BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN THE LEADERSHIP ROLE OF, LIKE, HOUSE LEADER, YOU GET TO DO, LIKE, A LOT MORE. YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE MORE THINGS, SUCH AS THE FIELD TRIPS WE GO ON, OR MAKING DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THE REST OF THE SCHOOL, AND BEING IN A ROLE WHERE YOU KIND OF DEFLECT ON EVERYONE ELSE.

>> 10 YEARS AGO WHEN I GOT HIRED AS A MATH TEACHER, I PROPOSED TO MS. LAMONTE, SHE WAS MY PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING MY COMPUTER SCIENCE BACKGROUND AND TEACH A COMPUTER SCIENCE ELECTIVE CLASS. AND THAT WAS THE START OF OUR JOURNEY HERE AT RUBLE. WE ESTABLISHED A STEM PROGRAM. WE STARTED WITH THE STEM, AND WE CHANGED IT TO STEAM, BUT THE IDEA IS TO BRING IN ALL THOSE COMPONENTS OF STEAM INTO OUR CLASSROOM, WHETHER IT'S COMPUTER SCIENCE OR MATH, AND WE

[00:20:04]

>> -- COURSE ENTAILS A GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO AVIATION AND HISTORY OVERALL, STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING OF FLIGHT WITH THE WRIGHT BROTHERS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT TO ITS CURRENT STATE, AND UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT ROLES OF DIFFERENT FACETS OF THE INDUSTRY, FROM MANUFACTURERS TO AIRLINERS TO ATC TO THE GOVERNMENT TO THE NTSB, SAFETY ISSUES. SO WE KIND OF COVER A LITTLE BIT OF THE WHOLE BASIS OF AVIATION.

>> YOUR ATTITUDE THAT YOU BRING IN TODAY IS GOING TO REFLECT ON EVERYONE ELSE. IF YOU COME IN WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HAPPY, YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THINGS, THAT'S GOING

TO REFLECT. >> NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO SPIN.

>> AND WE KNOW THAT THE TIME, SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU GUYS CAME AND SPUN THE WHEEL BEFORE YOU EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO , TO HEAR, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LIMITED TIME, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS WOULD BE ABLE TO SHARE, JUST REALLY BRIEFLY WITH YOU, ABOUT THE HOUSE SYSTEM. IF THEY COULD COME UP AND JOIN ME? AND I JUST HAD TO SAY, JONATHAN IS HERE. JONATHAN, TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIM FROM THE START OF SIXTH GRADE TO NOW, WHERE HE IS ENDING, AND TO SEE THE GROWTH IN HIM AND THE LEADERSHIP, AND STEPPING INTO THAT ROLE HAS BEEN AMAZING. JESSE, THAT YOU SAW, I NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF SIXTH GRADE THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO MOVE INTO A LEADERSHIP ROLE, SO WHEN THEY STEPPED UP AND, AND APPLIED, I'VE JUST RELEASING THEM GROW, SO IT'S, IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM.

>> HI. MY NAME IS JONATHAN. I'M IN THE HOUSE OF ALL HIS MIGHT, AND WE'RE THE BLACK HOUSE, AND OUR, LIKE, THING IS WE'RE LIKE, THE GIVERS. I FEEL LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO, LIKE, GIVE STUFF. JUST GIVE, LIKE, WHO WE ARE AS A PERSON. IN AN HOUR, LIKE, ANIMAL TYPE THING IS, LIKE, THE SNAKE. OR, LIKE, THEY,

THING -- >> AND WHAT ARE YOU SHARING, THAT'S YOUR SYMBOL FOR THAT HOUSE? AND YOUR SPIRIT ANIMAL IS

THE SNAKE. >> HI. MY NAME IS SOPHIA, AND I'M IN THE HOUSE OF HIS ABILITY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE GREENHOUSE, AND OUR HAND SIGNAL IS THIS, AND WE ALSO REPRESENT

COURAGE. >> HI, MY NAME'S KHALIL. I'M IN THE HOUSE OF GORI, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PURPLE HOUSE, AND I SYMBOLIZE THE -- SIGN, AND WE STAND FOR KINDNESS.

>> HI, MY NAME IS MONTSERRAT. I'M IN THE HOUSE OF RIVER.

WE'RE THE BLUE HOUSE. OUR SYMBOL IS THIS, AND WE STAND FOR

THE HOUSE OF DREAMERS. >> AND SHE IS THE BLUE HOUSE.

BUT WE KNOW THAT FONTANA IS ONE COMMUNITY. WE CONSIDER RUBLE TO BE ONE FAMILY, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR STUDENTS WHO BELONG TO THE FOUR HOUSES THAT ARE UNIQUE WITH STAFF, EVERY STAFF MEMBERS IN A HOUSE DO. AND NOW, SO ARE YOU. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD?

>> I JUST WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION, BOARD PRESIDENT.

>> YES. >> HOW ARE THE KIDS ASSIGNED TO A HOUSE? HOW DOES THAT WORK? OH, YOU SPIN THE WHEEL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WELL -- JUST SAYING.

>> I REALLY -- >> OH. ALL RIGHT.

>> I WAS HOPING FOR A STORY ABOUT A HAT, MAYBE STARTED TALKING OR SOMETHING. MISSES SANDOVAL?

>> THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. I DO REMEMBER TALKING TO THE PRINCIPAL ABOUT THE HOUSES, AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE, AND HOW THEY REFLECT OUR CHILDREN. AND WE HAD A REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT WHEN CHILDREN TAKE PLACE, AND THEY TAKE INTO THEIR HOUSE, THEY ALSO TAKE RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. AND I REALLY LIKE THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD, BECAUSE MANY TIMES, WE GO TO SCHOOL AND WE'RE, WE'RE LOST. BUT WHEN SCHOOLS HAVE THESE TYPE OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON ON THE CHILDREN, CHILDREN BELONG TO A GROUP, AND THEY, THEY TEND TO DO EVEN BETTER. SO THANK YOU, ANN MARIE, FOR, FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD.

I REALLY LIKE THAT, AND I'M GLAD IT'S STILL GOING ON. THANK YOU, BOYS AND GIRLS, FOR BEING HERE, OR LADIES.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY. YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, AND IF ANYBODY HAS TO GO DO SOME HOMEWORK FOR TESTING, WE WILL NOT BE HURT.

>> BOARD PRESIDENT? IF I, IF I MAY. WE HAVE MR. MALATESTA HERE,

[00:25:06]

THAT'S OKAY. >> YES.

>> OKAY. MR. MALATESTA, ARE YOU STILL HERE? I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON. YOU'RE BACK THERE? GOT IT. SO I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU, SIR. I, I, I MEAN THAT SINCERELY AS A FULL HIGH GRAD, AS A FULL HIGH ALUMNI, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE THING THAT IS ONCE A STEELER, ALWAYS A STEELER. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW ME AND WHAT HE SENA -- SHE'S ACTUALLY THE PERSON THAT SWORE ME IN INTO THIS OFFICE. AND SO I, I'M SO HAPPY THAT OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REALLY QUALIFIED, BUT I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU GOT PICKED. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYBODY ELSE THAT COULD TAKE ON THAT KIND OF LEGACY, TAKE ON THAT KIND OF CULTURE, AND TO KEEP FONTANA HIGH SCHOOL MOVING FORWARD. SO I'M SO HAPPY, AND ONCE AGAIN, SIR,

CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU, MR. RAMIREZ. AND I MIGHT HAVE JUMPED THE GUN ON THAT. DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SAY ANYTHING TO OUR NEW PRINCIPAL?

>> I AM HAPPY, BECAUSE I KNOW, WE USUALLY MEET ON THE SIDELINE AT FOOTBALL GAMES, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM, AND I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY THAT, THAT YOU'RE IN THAT ROLE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT FONTANA , LIKE SOME OF THE BOARD, BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SAID, WHEN WE'VE GONE TO SEE -- PEOPLE LOOK AT US, LIKE, FONTANA? LIKE THAT. NOW WE GO TO CSD AND THEY GO, YOU'RE FROM FONTANA? OH, YEAH. THE GREAT CITY OF FONTANA. WE'RE DOING AMAZING WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND YET MORE TO COME.

SO, AND I KNOW HE'S, HE'S ON IT. I JUST ASKED HIM, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE THERE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO, YOUR FAMILY LIFE? AND HE SAID, I HAVE A DAUGHTER GRADUATING THIS YEAR. OKAY. THEN I THINK YOU SHOULD BE OKAY. BUT WE DIDN'T ASK ABOUT HIS WIFE, THOUGH, SO WE'LL HAVE TO TALK TO HER TOO.

>> THANK YOU, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MALATESTA FAMILY. I KNOW YOU'LL DO GREAT.

>> MR. CENTER? >> JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

CONGRATULATIONS. I ALREADY JOKED WITH YOU ALL THE TIME, YOU LOOK BETTER IN BLUE, BUT I KNOW YOU BLEED MAROON, SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR TAKING ON THAT CHALLENGE, AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOUR FAMILY. I SEE YOUR FAMILY'S HERE TODAY. YOUR SENIOR DAUGHTER, I THINK, AND YOUR WIFE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING HIM WITH US. YOU'RE GOING TO BE SHARING HIM A LOT MORE WITH US NOW THAT HE'S IN THAT ROLE. I'VE LEARNED THAT THE SKILLS AND ABILITIES THAT CANNOT DO THAT JOB SOMETIMES ARE NOT THE SAME GOALS AND ABILITIES TO HELP YOU KEEP THAT JOB. AND SO I TELL YOU THAT AS A, YOU KNOW, FORMER ADMINISTRATOR THAT, THAT YOU GOT BIG SHOES TO FILL, AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WORK HARD, AND THE WIFE HE AND THE DAUGHTER GOING OFF TO COLLEGE IS GOING TO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY NOT SEE YOU MUCH, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS DISTRICT.

>> MS., MS. HOLLEY? >> THANK YOU. WELL, I, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE, AGAIN, THEY SHARED IN CLOSED SESSION, I AM A PROUD GRADUATE OF FONTANA HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK I TOLD YOU MY GRANDPA WAS IN FONTANA HIGH SCHOOL FIRST GRADUATING CLASS, SO THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY AND TRADITION ACROSS THE STREET, BUT I LOVE THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING NOW IN THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE THE PERFECT PERSON TO PICK UP THE TORCH AND RUN WITH IT, AND SO I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO AN AMAZING JOB, AND OUR STAFF, OUR STUDENTS ARE IN EXCELLENT HANDS,

SO CONGRATULATIONS. >> ALL RIGHT. AND ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, WE CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU AND CONTINUE THE WORK THAT'S ALREADY STARTED, AND HE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE IT EVEN FURTHER. SO WELCOME ABOARD, AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH

YOU. >> OKAY. SO WE WILL MOVE TO 3.5, ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS. MS. ? OR, I'M SORRY, WE HAVE ONE PRESENTATION BY ADMIN FOR TONIGHT'S AGENDA. THE FLOOR IS

NOW SUPERINTENDENT INBODY'S. >> THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO WELCOME TO THE PODIUM A FEW PEOPLE. I'LL START WITH MS. CAROLINE APONTE, THE ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF TEACHING AND LEARNING. MS. ADELE THOMAS, YOUR DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND LEADERSHIP SUPPORTS. AT OUR STUDENTS, ANGEL CARDIN IS FROM ARUBA HILLS HIGH SCHOOL IN MY ENTRANCE FROM SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL

PLEAT. PLEASE COME ON UP. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY, DISTINGUISHED BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A, AN UPDATE ON THE LEARNER PROFILE, AND TO TALK ABOUT KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE IT'S GOING. SO, OKAY. OH, THEY GOT IT. ALL RIGHT, SO THE LEARNER PROFILE IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, AND WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, AND WE WERE TRYING TO THINK OF, WHAT'S A GOOD ANALOGY, REALLY, TO TALK ABOUT AND IMPRESS UPON THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING? AND WE'D LIKE TO BRING UP THE ANALOGY OF TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. SO IF WE HAVE A TRAIN, A TRAIN IS ON TRACKS.

[00:30:03]

WHO'S GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, WHAT IS THE LEARNER PROFILE, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM.

>> HI, EVERYONE. I'M MAIA JONES. AND JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FUSD LEARNER PROFILE IS ONE OF THE THINGS IS THE LIFELONG LEARNER. OKAY. IT'S THE LIFELONG LEARNER. SO FOR FUSD, THEY MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE GRADUATE READY, BUT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY NEED TO BE LIFELONG LEARNERS READY, SO THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT STRONGLY IN FUSD. THE WITH BEING A LIFELONG LEARNER, YOU GET TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF SKILLS. YOU, YOU GET TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU HAVE A CHALLENGE, OR IF YOU HAVE A STRUGGLE, OR EVEN IF YOU'RE HAVING SUCCESS, HOW TO LEARN FROM THAT AND HOW TO OVERCOME THAT, AND JUST HOW TO, HOW TO BECOME, HOW, HOW TO USE IT LIFELONG, NOT JUST FOR, LIKE, GRADUATION, OR JUST AFTER

GRADUATING. >> AND THEN, FOR THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE IS COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATOR. SO WE DECIDED TO BOTH INTEGRATE BOTH COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION TOGETHER, BECAUSE WE FELT THAT WHEN YOU'RE COMMUNICATING WITH OTHERS, YOU'RE ALSO COLLABORATING. SO WE DECIDED THAT, AS STUDENTS, WE DO , THROUGH COMMUNICATION, WE ALSO COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER, AND WE SHARE INFORMATION, AND NOT ONLY DOES THAT FOCUS ON US BEING ABLE TO TALK, BUT IT'S ALSO HOW WE ANALYZE AND HOW WE GET THAT INFORMATION BACK, SO THAT'S ONE OF THE QUALITIES WE DECIDED TO PICK THAT GOES ON WITH LIFELONG LEARNING, BECAUSE EVERY DAY, WE'RE LEARNING SOMETHING NEW.

>> AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS INNOVATIVE THINKER. SO, ABOUT THIS ONE, WE REALIZED THAT EVERYBODY'S BRAIN IS DIFFERENT.

EVERYBODY INTERPRETS THINGS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, AND WE WANTED TO HAVE, HAVE STUDENTS EMBRACE DIFFERENT WAYS IN THINKING, NOT JUST HAVE ONE SPECIFIC WAY THAT YOU'RE TAUGHT, AND WE HOPE TO, WE, WE HOPE TO OBTAIN HOW TO, HOW, HOW PEOPLE COULD EXPRESS THEMSELVES MORE DIFFERENTLY IN A CREATIVE

WAY. >> AND THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE IS DIVING INDIVIDUAL. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PERSONALITY, SO AS WE MOVE ON IN THE DISTRICT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, STARTING FROM KINDERGARTEN ALL THE WAY UNTIL YOU GRADUATE, THAT YOU ARE THRIVING, YOU ARE THRIVING IN THE COMMUNITY YOU'RE IN, THE SCHOOLS YOU'RE IN, BUT ALSO, YOU'RE GAINING AND YOU'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT YOURSELF.

THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THRIVING INDIVIDUALS.

>> AND THEN LASTLY WE HAVE THE CHANGE MAKER, WHICH I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE, BECAUSE I THINK I'M A CHANGE MAKER TOO, EVEN

[00:35:02]

AND I JUST HOPE THAT, THAT STUDENTS COULD, IN A WAY, BE LIKE ME, AND WANTING TO CHANGE, TO CHANGE THE WORLD, JUST TO CHANGE EVEN SOMETHING LITTLE, LIKE, IF THEY FEEL -- TO JUST MAKE A BETTER DIFFERENCE IN THE CHANGE.

>> AND THEN, TO ADD ON WITH THAT, I THINK THAT ANOTHER THING IS, LIKE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CHANGE IS ACCEPTABLE, AND WE HAVE TO, LIKE, START, LIKE HELP MS. LABONTE SAID, WE'VE ONLY BEEN IN THE 21ST CENTURY FOR 24 YEARS, AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE CHANGING. SO WE WANT TO BECOME, WE WANT TO MAKE OUR STUDENTS RESILIENT AND ADAPTABLE TO THE CHANGE THAT'S HAPPENING, SO WE WANT THEM TO BE ON THE FRONTLINES OF IT. SO WE WANT THEM TO BE THE CHANGEMAKERS. WE WANT THEM TO BE.

>> AND -- THANK YOU. AND THIS IS WHY WE HAD THEM TALK. THE POWER OF STUDENT VOICE. BECAUSE, AS ADULTS, SOMETIMES WE THINK WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST, BUT UNLESS WE HAVE A STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE, SOMETIMES THEIR IDEAS WILL OUTSHINE HOURS, AS THE ADULTS.

SO THANK YOU BOTH. THIS IS AMAZING. THAT'S WHY WE HAD YOU COME HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE PART OF.

OKAY, SO NOW, AND I GOING THE WRONG WAY? OH, SORRY. ALL RIGHT.

SO HOW DID WE GET HERE? AND I'LL HAVE A DELL PROMISED TALK A LITTLE ABOUT HOW WE COME TO THIS POSITION, AND WHY WE STARTED THE

LEARNER PROFILE. >> SO THIS WORK BEGAN LAST MAY.

SO WE FORMED THE DISTRICT ALIGNMENT TEAM, SO THERE'S THREE STREAMS OF WORK THAT SUPPORT THIS WORK. SO THE FIRST IS THE DISTRICT ALIGNMENT TEAM, AND THAT IS MADE UP OF EXTENDED CABINET, CABINET, AS WELL AS REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL THE DISTRICT APARTMENTS, AS WELL AS SCHOOL SITES. THIS STARTED IN MAY, AND THEY MEET MONTHLY. AND THIS IS THE, THE TEAM THAT IS OVERSEEING THE SYSTEM AS WE KNOW IN ORDER FOR US TO BRING THIS LEARNER PROFILE TO LIFE. THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGES IN ALIGNMENT THAT'S GOING TO NEED TO HAPPEN ACROSS OUR DISTRICT IN ORDER TO BRING IT TO LIFE. THEN WE KICKED OFF THE LEARNER PROFILE, WHICH BOTH MAIA AND ANGEL WERE ON OUR LEARNER PROFILE. THEY MET TWO DAYS IN JULY, AND THEY CAME BACK IN OCTOBER. AND WE HAD SEVERAL ITERATIONS OF THE LEARNER PROFILE, BECAUSE FIRST I HAD TO LOOK AT, WHAT ARE THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT WE THINK OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO NEED IN ORDER TO BE FUTURE READY? SO THEY LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT BODIES OF RESEARCH AND REALLY HAD TO NARROW THAT DOWN. IN ADDITION TO THE STUDENTS, WE HAD TEACHERS, WE HAD CLASSMATE REPRESENTATION, WE HAD PARENTS, WE HAD BUSINESS PARTNERS, WE HAD HIGHER EDUCATION. IT WAS ABOUT A COMMITTEE OF ABOUT 70+ MEMBERS.

SO THAT WAS THE LARGEST COMMITTEE THAT WE HAVE IN THIS WORK. AND THEN, SO IT WENT BACK AND FORTH. SO THEY PROPOSED A, A, WHAT THEY THOUGHT THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT WE KIND OF HAD WHAT WE THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE COMPETENCIES, AND THEN WENT BACK TO THE DISTRICT ALIGNMENT TEAM AND IT WENT BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE WORDING RIGHT AND REALLY THINK IT DOWN, AND WHEN WE FIRST HAD THE DRAFT THAT WENT OUT TO BE SOCIALIZED, IT WAS MUCH LENGTHIER. IT HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATEMENTS COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN NOW. AND THEN THE WORK THAT IS JUST STARTING IS THE LEARNER PROGRESSION, AND THEN THEY WILL MAP OUT, SO THE LEARNER PROGRESSION TEAM AS OUR TEACHERS, SOME TEACHER ON ASSIGNMENT, AS WELL AS OUR COORDINATORS ACROSS THE DISTRICT WHO ARE CLOSEST TO THE WORK.

THEY WILL MAP OUT EACH OF THE COMPETENCIES, WHAT THAT LEARNER PROGRESSION WILL LOOK LIKE, SO STUDENTS CAN REFLECT, ENGAGE THEIR PROGRESS ON IT FROM PRESCHOOL ALL THE WAY TO GRADUATION, AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DECIDE FROM A NOVICE ALL THE WAY TO EXPERT ON THE COMPETENCIES. AND I THINK, THIS IS, I THINK WE'RE SHORT ON TIME, SO WE'RE GOING TO SKIP OVER THESE. BUT THIS IS SOME OF THE RESEARCH THAT THE LEARNER PROFILE LOOKED AT, LOOKING AT THE FASTEST DECLINING JOBS AND THE FASTEST GROWING JOBS, AS WELL AS THE CURRENT -- SKILLS.

IN ORDER TO NARROW IT DOWN TO THE COMPETENCIES THAT YOU SAW IN THE LEARNER PROFILE. SO THERE'S TWO CHANGES THAT ARE REALLY AT THE HEART. ONE IS THAT, AS WE ARE MOVING TO A LEARNER CENTERED APPROACH, AND THE OTHER IS BEING FUTURE READY. AND AS YOU SEE, BEING LEARNER CENTERED IS CELEBRATING EACH STUDENT'S UNIQUE JOURNEY, AND THAT THEY ARE CO-CREATORS OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, AND IT SHIFTS THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER TO BE THAT TRUSTED GUIDE, TO MORE OF THAT FACILITATOR OF THE LEARNER. AND THEN ALSO BEING FUTURE READY IS WE WANT TO MAKE

[00:40:02]

US TO IMPLEMENT THIS. >> ALL RIGHT, SO, IN CLOSING, AS ADELE SAID, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. BUT THIS IS A POSTER. THE WORK WE'RE GOING TO DO IS GOING TO BE PUT OUT THERE SO THAT WE CAN TAKE OUR POSTER AND MAKE IT INTO PRACTICE. AND ONE OF THE BIG PIECES, AND ADELE TOUCHED UPON IT, IS THIS IS GOING TO ALIGN OUR SYSTEM, BREAKING DOWN SILOS SO THAT WE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER, DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR STUDENTS. SUPER EXCITING WORK. I KNOW WE CAN GET THERE, BUT WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE WERE WITH THE LEARNER PROFILE, SO THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MS. LABONTE, FOR THE PRESENTATION. ANY QUESTIONS

FROM THE BOARD? MS. RAMIREZ? >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK, MAIA, ANGEL, DR. LABONTE, ADELE. LIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING IN ALL THIS EFFORT. THIS IS SO AMAZING.

AND TO KNOW THAT STUDENTS WERE A DRIVING IMPACT IN THIS WAS, IT'S, IT'S PHENOMENAL. LIKE, THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF I LOVE TO SEE, SO THANK YOU FOR MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR

TIME. >> MS. SANDOVAL?

>> THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, STUDENT, FOR BEING HERE TODAY. I MISSED MY FRIEND, YOUR BROTHER, THAT'S NOT HERE.

I KNOW HE WOULD BE SITTING RIGHT HERE BY ME, BECAUSE HE'S MY BUDDY. WHAT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WE HAD SPOKE ABOUT THIS A WHILE BACK. I WANT TO SAY MAYBE TWO BOARDS AGO, TWO FULL BOARDS. WE WERE, WE WERE, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE STUDENTS LEFT FONTANA, THAT THEY HAD A GOOD TOOLBOX READY TO LEAD THEM OUT INTO THIS BIG WORLD. SO I'M GLAD THAT TML IS, IS TAKING ON THIS TASK, AND YOU'RE INVOLVED. BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN STUDENTS CENTER, WE'RE STUDENT CENTERED, AND I KNOW WHEN THEY'RE INVOLVED, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN, ALONG WITH OUR EMPLOYEES, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME. IT'S IMPORTANT. AND YOU'RE ALREADY, YOU'RE ALREADY FILLING UP YOUR TOOLBOX, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY KNOWING WHAT YOU NEED TO EXCEL OUT IN THIS BIG WORLD. THANK YOU.

BEFORE ASK SUPERINTENDENT INBODY TO SHARE HER REPORT, I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR STAFF AND THE PUBLIC TWO OUTSTANDING RECOGNITIONS SHE RECEIVED DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH. FIRST, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY WAS NAMED SUPERINTENDENT TO WATCH BY THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL PUBLIC RELATION ASSOCIATION FOR HER OUTSTANDING COMMITMENT TO COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS A SUPERINTENDENT WITH LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. SHE WAS ALSO NAMED A SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF LATINO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, ALSO KNOWN AS CAL ESSAY. THIS -- CALSA. CALSA, SORRY. THESE RECOGNITIONS ARE A REFLECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT INBODY'S EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP , HER DEDICATION TO FOSTERING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COMMUNITY, AND HER UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO STUDENT SUCCESS . ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE HER ON THESE WELL-DESERVED HONORS, AND WITH, NOW, THAT BEING SAID, I INVITE MS. INBODY TO SHARE HER REPORT.

THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM, FOUNDED IN 1991, IS EVIDENT IN THE ROWS OF GLEAMING TROPHIES LINING THE WALLS, EACH A TESTAMENT TO THE

DEDICATION OF ITS CADET. >> IT'S REALLY HEAVY ON LEADERSHIP, BUT WE EXPOSE THEM TO PUBLIC SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES, COMMUNITY SERVICE. WE TEACH THEM A LOT OF LIFE SKILLS.

MY NAME IS CYRUS MOSS, AND I'M A STUDENT AT SOUTH RIDGE TECH MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'M A PROUD FUSD STUDENT, AND I LOVE SHARING TO OTHERS HOW OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT GOES OVER AND BEYOND TO HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED. FUSD PRODUCES LEADERS AND CHANGE MAKERS. RECENTLY, I ATTENDED THE MARY'S YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, IT WAS SO NICE SEEING MISSES ALDIE AND MISSES INBODY . THEY'RE SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF -- NEXT MONTH. I MET SO MANY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, STUDENTS INSPIRED TO BE LEADERS. ONE STUDENT I MET WAS FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND OF COURSE I HAD TO TELL THEM HOW AMAZING MY SCHOOLS, SOUTH RIDGE TECH IS, AND OUR AMAZING IB PROGRAM. HIM AND HIS MOM WERE SO IMPRESSED, SHE SCHEDULED A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL. AFTER LEAVING THE EVENT, ANOTHER SPARK WAS LIT IN ME, AND I BEGAN TO THINK OF SOME OF THE AMAZING PEOPLE I MET SCHOOL YEAR, AND THE GREAT THINGS THEY'RE ACCOMPLISHING. THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER FROM THE EVENT, MR. PIPPEN, INSPIRED ME, AS WELL AS GARRETT KEENE AND HEAVENLY RAGE. SHE IS A FORMER SOUTH RIDGE STUDENT DOING GREAT THINGS, KNOWING HOW THEY GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND SPEAK ABOUT ISSUES AND BLESSED PEOPLE INSPIRED ME TO DO WHAT I WANT TO DO MORE FOR MY SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY. I REMEMBER ALL OF THEM ENCOURAGING ME, TELLING ME I AM NOT TOO YOUNG TO CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SO I'M HERE TODAY ASKING ALL OF YOU IF WE CAN START A SUPERINTENDENT JUNIOR ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM FUSD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY. I ADMIRE HOW WE HAVE THEM FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS, AND I LOVE HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER DURING THE HOLIDAYS, BUT SAD BECAUSE I WAS CONSIDERED TOO YOUNG TO HELP. I'M PRAYING ALL OF YOU CAN CONSIDER ME ONCE AGAIN AND CONSIDERING A JUNIOR ADVISORY COUNCIL SO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS LIKE ME CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

AND CONSIDERATION. >> AND NEXT WE HAVE NIKA MOSS.

>> THAT EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT, BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT AND FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MY NAME IS NIKA MOSS, AND AS A PARENT OF A THIRD GRADE I.V. STUDENT AT THE LAURA SQUARE THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY AND A SEVENTH GRADE STUDENT AT SOUTH RIDGE TECH MIDDLE SCHOOL, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE ABSENCE OF THE I.B.

START WITH PULLING 4.22? >> YEAH.

>> OKAY. 4.4. I'M ASKING THIS ITEM TO BE PULLED AND TABLED FOR THE MOMENT . WHILE REVIEWING THE INFORMATION, I SAW THAT ONLY TWO BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO PUT SOMEBODY ON THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ALL OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY , AND, MS. INBODY, CAN WE REACH OUT TO EACH AND EVERY BOARD MEMBER TO GIVE A NAME, AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE ONE, THAT'S COMPLETELY FINE, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE THEM EVERY COME OUR BOARD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE, ON THE BOND.

>> ARE WE DOING THAT TONIGHT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR BOND WORK, OR WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH?

>> WAITING, BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT IT, RESEARCH IT, AND THEN PRESENT THEIR BEST ONE FORWARD.

[4.22 Human Resources - Certificated and Classified Personnel Recommendations]

DISCUSSION FIRST? >> I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THE

PUBLIC HAS TO ESSAY FIRST. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE CONSENSUS? ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S START WITH THE --

>> I'LL START WITH ADAM. HE AND JESSICA. AND LAURA DOHERTY IS ON

DECK. >> HELLO. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY, BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, VICE PRESIDENT HOLLEY, FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND MEMBERS OF THE CABINET. MY NAME IS DR. ADAM B AND CASSIE. I'M THE ONLY TOA FOR THE DISTRICT THAT SUPPORTS SOCIAL STUDIES INSTRUCTION FOR ALL SITES, K-12.

I WORK IN THE DEPARTMENT OF TWO, MYSELF AND MY DIRECT SUPERVISOR.

OUR DEPARTMENT WAS CREATED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO OUT OF NECESSITY AND TEACHER REQUEST FOR THE SUPPORT WITH OUR ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE. AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL HISTORY TEACHER, AT THE TIME, AND I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF US, WE DESPERATELY NEEDED INDIVIDUALIZED SPECIFIC DISCIPLINE SUPPORT.

CONSEQUENTLY, I JUMPED AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES IN THE ROLE OF THE GLOBAL STUDIES TOA. THROUGHOUT MY TENURE AS A TOA, I'VE PROVIDED SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS WITH ENGAGING, EFFECTIVE, AND HIGH-QUALITY TRAININGS THAT INCLUDE STRATEGIES WITH HOW TO BECOME A MORE EFFECTIVE SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. I'VE ALSO BEEN DELIBERATE IN HIGHLIGHTING HOW BOTH THE CAST AND THE L PACK YOU SOCIAL STUDIES CONTENT TO ASSESS

[01:05:02]

YOUR TIME. >> GOOD EVENING. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT, SORRY. I'M TIRED. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY , BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, AND FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS LAURA DOHERTY, AND I'M -- TEACHER FROM CITRUS HIGH SCHOOL. I'M SHARING A COLLECTIVE STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND SEVERAL COLLEAGUES FROM FONTANA HIGH SCHOOL, AVERY MILLER HIGH SCHOOL, KAISER HIGH SCHOOL AND ROPER HILLS HIGH SCHOOL. WE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE ELIMINATION OF THE GLOBAL STUDIES TOA POSITION FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS WEEK'S BOARD AGENDA. THE ELIMINATION OF THIS POSITION IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND SUBTLE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND FONTANA USD ON A PATH OF AGGRESSION IN A TIME WHERE MORE SUPPORT IS NEEDED. THIS POSITION IS CRITICAL IN PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES K-12 . THE SUPPORT HAS RANGED FROM, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LESSON STUDIES, MODEL LESSONS, PLANNING TIME, TRAININGS AROUND THE CURRICULUM, PROMOTION OF LITERACY, AS WELL AS RELEVANCY AND CORRELATION TO THE DISTRICT WEDNESDAY INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS AREAS. THE MOTION TO BRING BACK THE TOA POSITION FROM MATH SECONDARY, ELA SECONDARY, SCIENCE, ELEMENTARY, AND CLIMATE CULTURE, BUT NOT GLOBAL STUDIES FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES, SENT THE WRONG MESSAGE NOT JUST TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY TO SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS AND THEIR STUDENTS. IT TELLS SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS THAT AVILA DOES NOT VALUE THEIR CONTENT AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS. THIS ROLE IS ONE OF THE FEW SUPPORTS THAT SOCIAL SCIENCE HAS, YET THE MOTION TO ELIMINATE THIS POSITION IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. THE ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE WAS JUST APPROVED BY THE BOARD DUE TO OUTPOURING SUPPORT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND TEACHERS. IN ADDITION, WE WILL ALSO HAVE PERSONAL FINANCE ON THE HORIZON, OR WE DO, EXCUSE ME, HAVE PERSONAL FINANCE ON THE HORIZON. THEREFORE, THE DECISION TO ELIMINATE THIS SPECIFIC POSITION IS ALSO COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND WASTE YEARS OF PROGRESS IN TIME PUT FORTH BY THE POSITION AND ITS DEPARTMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A TIME OF MORE SUPPORT FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHERS, NOT NEGLIGENCE. THE TOPICS OF ETHNIC STUDIES AND ALL SOCIAL SCIENCES ARE INCREASING IN PUBLIC EDUCATION AND IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE, SO MOVING THIS RESOURCE FOR TEACHERS AND THE GREATER FUSD COMMUNITY IS A MASSIVE DISSERVICE AND LEAVES US FEELING UNSUPPORTED. THIS POSITION PROVIDES SUPPORT TO TEACHERS AND THEIR CLASSROOMS TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION, AS WELL AS CONNECT SITES TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. WITH ITS ELIMINATION, MANY TEACHERS AND SITES WILL FEEL DISCONNECTED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW ETHNIC STUDIES GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. THESE TEACHERS WILL NEED THE SUPPORT OF THEIR STUDENTS, AND THIS POSITION BEING ELIMINATED WILL MAKE THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT .

[01:10:07]

IN CLOSING, WE REQUEST THIS POSITION BE BROUGHT BACK IMMEDIATELY, AND THE GLOBAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT BE SUPPORTED FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THE BENEFITS OF KEEPING THIS POSITION GREATLY OUTWEIGH ANY FINANCIAL BURDENS ON FUSD. THANK

YOU. >> YOU HAVE A -- DANIEL MAUER? IS IT MAUER? OKAY, THANK YOU. AND ON DECK IS KEVIN LOPEZ.

>> HELLO. CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? OKAY. GOOD EVENING, BORED. I'M A FELLOW COLLEAGUE -- AND I'M HERE WITH MY TEAM TEACHER KEVIN LOPEZ. WE'RE HERE TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR THE GLOBAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT AS A WHOLE, AS WELL AS TOA'S AS A WHOLE. SO WE JUST WANTED TO COME HERE AND SHARE WHAT WE'VE BENEFITED FROM THEIR SUPPORT WITH INSTRUCTION AND PEDAGOGY. AND I ALSO WANT TO TIE IT BACK TO OUR PREVIOUS SPEAKERS, CYRUS MUST AND HIS MOTHER. CYRUS IS ONE OF MY STUDENTS THIS YEAR IN SEVENTH GRADE, AND HE'S BENEFITED FROM THE SUPPORT THAT GLOBAL STUDIES HAS GIVEN ME AND OUR SIXTH GRADE AND EIGHTH GRADE TEACHERS SO THAT HE CAN BE EMPOWERED TO SPEAK ON THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO HIM AND THAT MATTER TO HIM, AND HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS A VOICE TO SPEAK IN THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.

>> AND AFTER KEVIN WE HAVE ASHLEY SILVA. SHE'S HERE.

>> OKAY. GOOD EVENING, BORED, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. MY NAME IS KEVIN LOPEZ. I'M A TEACHER AT SOUTH RIDGE TECH MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'M ALSO A RESIDENT OF FONTANA. I GREW UP HERE. I GRADUATED ACROSS THE STREET AT FAUX HIGH, AND I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR GLOBAL STUDIES TOA. IT'S PRETTY, I GUESS, JUST SPEAKING FIRSTHAND, I DO WANT TO SAY HE HAS HUGELY BENEFITED US OVERALL, AND ESPECIALLY MYSELF, LIKE, I'M A NEWER TEACHER. I'VE BEEN HERE AT THE DISTRICT AROUND THREE YEARS, SO JUST AROUND WHEN HE GOT STARTED, AND I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH, WAY MORE THAN I'VE EVER LEARNED FROM MY CREDENTIAL PROGRAM, FROM MY TOA. SO IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING, AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE, I GET A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL TALKING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I JUST HAVE A, LIKE, JUST, I JUST WANT TO BE WHERE I'M AT TODAY WITHOUT THIS GUY. AND IT'S ALSO A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATING BECAUSE, LIKE, I KNOW THIS IS THE BEST FOR FONTANA, FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND, TO AN EXTENT, LIKE, IT'S, LIKE, IT DOES FEEL LIKE SOCIAL STUDIES IS BEING OVERLOOKED IN COMPARISON TO OTHER CONTENT MATTERS. SO, JUST, LIKE, IT'S A HUGE NEED. WE NEED IT. WE HAVE ONE PERSON FOR IT, AND, YOU KNOW, WE HONESTLY NEED MORE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST ASK THAT WE KEEP OUR ONE PERSON, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING TO BENEFIT JUST, YOU KNOW, THE TEACHERS, BUT IT'S FOR THE STUDENTS, FOR THE COMMUNITY. LIKE, I SEEN IT FIRSTHAND. I'VE CARED ABOUT FONTANA. I'M FROM HERE, I LIVE HERE. I WANT TO STAY HERE. I WANT TO REMAIN AT THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND WE REALLY NEED THE SUPPORT FROM OUR TOA. SO THAT'S ALL I GOT TO

SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ASHLEY?

>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT INBODY, AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ASHLEY SILVA, AND AFTER ATTENDING THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND REVIEWING THE REVISIONS TO THE DISTRICT POSITIONS, I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM COORDINATOR POSITION IS MISSING FROM THESE UPDATES. AS AN I.B. EDUCATOR AT THE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY -- HERE, I, I SEE FIRSTHAND THE IMPACT THIS PROGRAM HAS ON OUR STUDENTS. AND, AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE HAVE A FORMER STUDENT HERE FROM DIA THAT SPOKE TONIGHT ABOUT HIS PERSONAL PROJECT THAT HE'S TAKING ON, AND YOU'VE SEEN QUITE A BIT OF HIM IN THE PAST YEAR, AS HE WAS COMPLETING HIS I.B. , SIXTH GRADE I.B.

EXHIBITION PROJECT AS MY STUDENT LAST YEAR. HE IS ONLY ONE

[01:15:02]

>> OKAY. SO WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR 4.22, AND VICE PRESIDENT HOLLEY, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PULLED IT.

>> YES, I WAS THE ONE THAT PULLED IT. SO I JUST WANT TO PREFACE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY WITH THE FACT THAT I AM 100% FOR BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE EFFICIENT WITH STAFFING, MAKING SURE THAT OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS MEET THE GUIDELINES OF WHAT IS REQUIRED, AND THAT THEY ALIGN WITH OUR DISTRICT'S VISION AND GOALS. HOWEVER, I WAS AGAIN DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM , ESPECIALLY AFTER LAST MONTH, ENDED UP IN THE CONSENT CALENDAR, WHICH, FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE PUBLIC, I THINK WE USE ALL OF THESE TERMS, AND OFTEN TIMES WE JUST ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

WE, WE KIND OF BATCH THESE DECISIONS TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND OF TIME-CONSUMING AND CHECKLIST THE JUST AS ONE ACTION ITEM. AND I FEEL LIKE THIS DESERVED, DEFINITELY, MORE OF A DISCUSSION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY THAT IT WAS COMMUNICATED LAST MONTH, AND I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD AGREED THAT COMMUNICATION, AND LACK THEREOF, REALLY LET US TO AN AWKWARD PLACE LAST MONTH, AND I WAS TRULY HOPING THAT THIS MEETING WAS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT I'M JUST, I'M JUST SAD. I'M JUST DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE OUR, OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES BETTER THAN THAT. WE RECEIVED, I, PERSONALLY, HAVE RECEIVED SO MANY EMAILS FROM STAFF, PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE, IN MY OPINION, TO BE JUST TUCKED AWAY IN CONSENT CALENDAR. IF WE CAN COMMUNICATE CLEARLY, THEN I THINK, AGAIN, I'M GOING TO SAY WHAT I SAID LAST MONTH. THAT'S GOING TO MITIGATE A LOT OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH, THE UNEASINESS OF OUR STAFF, OUR STUDENTS, AND JUST ALL OF THESE QUESTION MARKS THAT SEEM TO BE FLOATING AROUND. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW OUR DISTRICT GOAL IS TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY AND CLEAR COMMUNICATION, SO FOR ME, WHEN I PULLED UP THIS DOCUMENT, I HAVE TO BE TOTALLY HONEST, I KEPT SCROLLING, BECAUSE I THOUGHT, SURELY THERE HAS TO BE MORE TO IT. AND WHAT I FOUND WAS, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, MISSING JOB DESCRIPTIONS, LIKE WERE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS WOULD'VE PROVIDED THE NEW JOB DESCRIPTIONS THAT WE COULD LOOK TOWARDS FOR OUR STAFF, AND I JUST DIDN'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE.

AND EVEN THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENT FOR THE DELETION AND ADDITIONS SHOWED TWO ADDITIONS, TWO DELETIONS . DELETION FOR KITCHEN ASSISTANT, SNACK BAR ATTENDANT, ADDITIONS FOR A BUYER AND A KITCHEN ASSISTANT, AND I THOUGHT, WELL, MY GOSH. LIKE, THERE'S SO MANY MORE POSITIONS THAT WERE NOT IN HERE. THIS DOCUMENT SEEMS INCOMPLETE TO ME. AND SO THAT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME, PARTICULARLY OUR I.B. COORDINATORS, OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER COORDINATORS, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS PROCESS CONTINUES TO PERPETUATE THAT CULTURE OF US VERSUS THEM. WE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO ACCOMPLISH A GOAL, TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS AND GIVE THEM THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN LIFE. AND THIS IS, IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOODS, OUR STUDENTS EDUCATIONAL PROCESS, AND IT'S ALL WEIGHING IN THE BALANCE OF WHAT APPEARS TO ME, NOT CLEAR COMMUNICATION. AND SO I'M ALSO TROUBLED AND CONCERNED THAT A LOT OF THE COMMUNICATION, TO ME, ABOUT THIS MATTER WAS STAFF BEING TOLD BY THE DISTRICT THAT THEY ARE NOT TO SHARE IF THEIR POSITION WAS ELIMINATED WITH OUR STUDENTS. AND THAT'S VERY TROUBLING TO ME. AGAIN, I GO BACK TO THE IDEA OF BEING CLEAR COMMUNICATORS, TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATORS. THAT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD METHOD OF OPERATING. TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE THIS DOCUMENT WAS A RUSH JOB TO MEET A DEADLINE WITH NO FORETHOUGHT OR COMMUNICATION, AND I KNOW IT WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THIS HAS BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SO IF THAT'S BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR QUITE SOME TIME, I WOULD JUST ANTICIPATE, I'M GOING TO KEEP SAYING THIS WORD, COMMUNICATION.

BETTER COMMUNICATION. BUT BETTER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. SO REALLY, WHAT I'M SEEING IN HERE ARE A BUNCH OF JOB DESCRIPTIONS THAT HAVE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'VE GOT THINGS CROSSED OUT,

[01:20:04]

THIS AS IT IS PRESENTED. >> BOARD PRESIDENT?

>> MR. RAMIREZ? >> YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST KEEP MY COMMENTS RELATIVELY SHORT AS THIS STANDS, I THOUGHT WE GAVE PRETTY CLEAR DIRECTION AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING. I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAD A PRETTY EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION WHEN IT CAME TO THIS AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, AND ONE OF THE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE SET FOR THIS BOARD MEETING WAS THAT WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE PLAN WAS, AND WE DIDN'T GET THAT. AND SO I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A STUDY CONDUCTED ON WHAT THE RATIONALE IS FOR WHITE THE DESCRIPTIONS BECAME WHAT THEY ARE, BUT AS A, AS OF RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, I, I THINK WE DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE. I REALLY DO. I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE REALLY CLEAR AFTER, YOU KNOW, HALF AN HOUR OF DELIBERATION ON THE DAIS. I THOUGHT THAT WE GAVE PRETTY CLEAR DIRECTION. BUT IT SEEMS THAT WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

SO I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS, AS THE WAY THAT IT IS. AND THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBER HOLLEY, FOR CATCHING THAT ON THE AGENDA AND FOR PULLING IT FOR DISCUSSION. IT SHOULD'VE BEEN A DISCUSSION

ITEM FROM THE GET-GO. >> THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. I FEEL THE SAME. AFTER LISTENING TO WHAT, I FORGOT HIS NAME, BUT MY CONCERN IS, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT NOT OFFERING A COURSE ABOUT HISTORY, THAT'S WHERE I STAND. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS KNOW THE HISTORY. I STAND FIRM WHEN IT COMES TO HISTORY, ETHNIC STUDIES, AND WHATEVER IT MAY BE. I DID ASK ABOUT INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THE STUDENTS WOULD BE MISSING. I CAN'T STAND FOR THAT. BECAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN A COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE AREN'T, WHAT I SAY, GENTLE TO ONE ANOTHER? AND THAT'S WHERE IT HURTS ME. WHEN I SEE YOUNG PEOPLE HERE STANDING UP AND SPEAKING, THAT'S OUR FUTURE. IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE THEM THE PROPER TOOLS, LIKE WE SET ALL NIGHT TONIGHT, THEN WE'RE DOING A DISSERVICE TO OUR CHILDREN. WE, WE'RE GROWING UP.

ALL THE ADULTS IN THIS ROOM HAVE EITHER GONE TO SCHOOL, GOT THEIR EDUCATION, SOME OF US DON'T HAVE THAT. I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL. I'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE. I GOT WHAT I NEEDED IN MY LIFE. BUT NOW IS THE TIME FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I WANT TO GO BACK AND NO WHEN I MAKE A DECISION, WHETHER IT'S TONIGHT OR TOMORROW NIGHT OR WHATEVER NIGHT, IS THAT I'M FULL AND I UNDERSTAND TOTALLY. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S TOO MANY RED ON OUR DOCUMENT. YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BUT WE CAN. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT BY OUR PEOPLE, AND THOSE ARE MY KIDS OUT THERE. 48,000 OF THEM, PLUS.

[01:25:06]

TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU.

>> I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. IS WHAT WAS BROUGHT TO US TONIGHT A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE, OR IS IT, OR IS THERE MORE TO COME? I, I, I NEED CLARITY ON THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN WE DO DELIBERATE ON THE DAIS, WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW THAT RESOLUTION WOULD GO, AND SO NOW I'M SEEING THE UPDATED JOB DESCRIPTIONS DUE TO THE FUNDING MECHANISMS AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES. SO AGAIN, IS THIS, IS THIS A PIECE OF IT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO COME LATER, OR? AND IF IT IS, THEN ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD'VE ASSUMED, THEN, IS WE WOULD'VE BROUGHT THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME, AND NOT PIECEMEAL IT. BECAUSE AGAIN, I HAVE TO AGREE A LITTLE BIT WITH WHAT MEMBER HOLLEY HERE IS THAT. IT DOES IN THE WRONG MESSAGE TO PEOPLE. IT MIGHT NOT BE THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO CONVEY, AND IT CONVEYS THAT MESSAGE. AND SO BRINGING PIECES OF IT, OR, IF WE'RE GOING TO BRING PIECES OF IT, THAT WE DESCRIBE THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD MEETING, IT'LL BE THIS PIECE. AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING OR WHATEVER WILL BE THESE. LIKE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT'S MY QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT

CAN BE ANSWERED, OR. >> YEAH, IF I COULD ASK CAROLINE LABONTE AND DR. STAINE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP? BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A REVISED JOB DESCRIPTION TO, YOU KNOW, FOR THE MOST PART, YOU'LL SEE, YOU SEE THREE OF THEM THERE. BUT IT'S TO SUPPORT THE STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, ORGANIZING IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. SO IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THERE WERE ONLY THREE POSITIONS, BUT THAT'S THREE POSITIONS TIMES, I'M NOT SURE.

10 EACH, PERHAPS? BUT THE OTHER PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT BE PUBLIC ARE THINGS LIKE THE RESTRUCTURING OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT I.B., BECAUSE THAT IS CRITICAL. THAT WORK IS CRITICAL. WE'RE NOT LETTING GO. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE THEM OUT. WE THANK OUR SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS DESERVE THAT SUPPORT AROUND DISCIPLINARY LITERACY AS WELL, JUST LIKE WAS SHARED HERE, AND THAT'S PART OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE TEACHERS ON ASSIGNMENT MOVING FORWARD, BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY'RE VALUABLE. THEY ARE GREAT SUPPORTS. JUST A RESTRUCTURING OF HOW IT'S DESIGNED AND HOW IT'S FUNDED AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT THE SCHOOL SITES. THE SUPPORT IS STILL

GOING TO CONTINUE. >> IF I MIGHT, SO --

>> CAN WE ANSWER THAT QUESTION FIRST, BOARD MEMBER? OKAY.

SORRY. >> YEAH. THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, THIS IS JUST TO, TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THESE ARE, THESE ARE THE POSITIONS WE'RE GOING TO HIRE. WE HAVEN'T, HAVEN'T DECIDED HOW MANY IN EACH SECTION YET, BUT THAT, THAT IS PART OF THE REASON.

>> I DO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION, BOARD MEMBER HOLLEY.

SO IF, IF THESE ARE THE POSITIONS , SO, LOOK, I, I'M LOOKING AT ITINERANT TEACHER, RIGHT? IT INCLUDES, AND THIS IS ITINERANT TEACHER, NOT THE TOA, BUT I'M JUST SAYING A DESCRIPTION THAT SAYS, WORKED CLOSELY WITH CATS OR TEACHERS, INTEGRATE ENRICHMENT OF THE COURT ACADEMIC SIDE EFFECTS, MATH, ELA, SOCIAL STUDIES, AND SCIENCE. THE SOCIAL STUDIES IS INCLUDED IN THAT. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEACHERS ON ASSIGNMENT. IS THAT NOT, AND I'M TRYING TO GO BACK, BACK AND FORTH, BECAUSE IT'S A BUNCH OF PAGES. BUT THEN THESE WERE, THESE WERE TITLED INSTRUCTIONAL COACH MULTILINGUAL PROGRAMS, AND THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE TITLED, LET ME GO BACK TO THIS, CLIMATE AND CULTURE. AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE FOR MATHEMATICS. SO THESE ARE PRETTY SPECIFIC, RIGHT? LIKE, IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT, AND THEN THIS ONE SAYS ELA. AND THEN SCIENCE.

SO IF THERE IS, AND I HAVE ONE MORE. AND THEN IT JUST SAYS INSTRUCTIONAL COACH, ELEMENTARY, AND IT DOES TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COACHING AND MENTORING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT DOESN'T DESCRIBE , IN TERMS OF, LIKE, THE ITINERANT ONE, SOCIAL STUDIES, IF THAT'S THE, THE SUBJECT MATTER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S NOT IN THERE. SO I WOULD ASSUME THE ONE THAT SAYS TOA, INSTRUCTIONAL COACH, ELEMENTARY, THAT'S PRETTY GENERAL FOR ELEMENTARY. I WOULD ASSUME THERE WOULD BE ONE FOR SECONDARY AS WELL? I'M ASSUMING? I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S CLEAR, BUT IF IT IS, THAT DESCRIPTION WOULD CALL THAT OUT, I GUESS, IS THE BEST WAY TO SAY. SO STILL I DON'T HAVE AN

ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. >> IF I MAY, I'M GOING TOO, CAROLINE LABONTE, IF YOU COULD ADD TO THIS. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL NOTICE WITH THE, WITH THE TEACHER ON ASSIGNMENT, IN PARTICULAR THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS ONE, IS THAT INCLUDES THE WORK , IF I CAN PULL FROM THE LEARNER PROFILE, IF I CAN PULL FROM OUR CALIFORNIA STANDARDS, IS THAT LITERACY IS ACROSS ALL CONTENT AREAS. IT IS IN DAY, A DISCIPLINE THAT HE WOULD ONLY TEACH LITERACY AND SOCIAL

[01:30:03]

IT'S INTEGRATED. I'LL LET YOU ADD TO THAT. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN

A CONCERN THAT'S COME UP. >> YEAH, SO WE, THE SECONDARY IS A LITTLE BIT TRICKIER, AND IT'S TRICKIER BECAUSE WE ARE BOUND BY CREDENTIALS. BUT WHAT MICKEY IS EXPLAINING IS CORRECT. SO, WITH AN ENGLISH CREDENTIAL, WE HAVE THE SKILLS, THE KNOWLEDGE, THE LITERACY, AND IT'S BRINGING IN ALL THOSE PIECES, BECAUSE IT, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER, YOU'RE A SCIENCE TEACHER, YOU'RE A TEACHER OF LANGUAGE AS WELL, AND GETTING PEOPLE TO THINK OUT RIGHT OF HOW THEY TEACH JUST SOCIAL STUDIES, YOU'RE NOT JUST TEACHING THE CONTENT. YOU'RE ALSO TEACHING DISCIPLINARY LITERACY. AND SO THIS YEAR, SOME OF OUR ELA TOAS HAVE WORKED IN OTHER CLASSROOMS WITH DIFFERENT TEACHERS TO BRING ON THAT PIECE OF DISCIPLINARY LITERACY. PART OF THE LEARNER PROFILE, TOO, IS BREAKING DOWN THE SUBJECTS, SO THAT, YES, WE HAVE OUR MATH, YES, WE HAVE OUR SCIENCE, BUT EVERY PIECE SUPPORTS ONE ANOTHER. SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THOSE PIECES ARE PUT TOGETHER, AND, IN REFERENCE TO THE QUESTION ABOUT I.B., YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. WE ARE NOT DOING AWAY WITH I.B. . IT IS , I CAME FROM AN I.B.

SCHOOL, SO IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. ARE WE RESTRUCTURING PIECES? FOR SURE, BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING THE BEST OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS . AND, WHAT WAS YOUR

OTHER QUESTION? >> MY QUESTION, AGAIN, GOES BACK TO THE TOA JOB DESCRIPTION, THAT IF SOCIAL STUDIES, YOU'RE SAYING IT'S BEEN INTEGRATED, BUT IT SHOULD BE CALLED OUT. AND IF IT'S NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION, CALLED OUT, AND I USE THE EXAMPLE OF THE ITINERANT TEACHER, THAT IT DID CALL OUT EVERY AREA OF OF OUR SUBJECT MATTERS.

>> YES. >> IS, IF THE TOAS IS GENERALLY SUPPORTING, I GET IT, LITERACY ACROSS ALL CONTENT AREAS, I UNDERSTAND THAT VERY WELL. BUT THERE ARE SPECIFIC TOOLS AND, AND PEDAGOGY THAT'S NEEDED IN THE CLASSROOM TO BE ABLE TO TEACH SOCIAL STUDIES. AND SO I'M ASSUMING THE GENTLEMAN THAT CAME UP TO TALK ABOUT THAT SUPPORT, ALTHOUGH THERE'S THE LITERACY COMPONENT, THERE'S OTHER MECHANISMS FOR THAT. AND IF IT IS , IT NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION, SO THAT WE'RE NOT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, I GUESS, IS THE BEST ANSWER THAT I HAVE BEEN SO, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THERE, AND IF IT ISN'T, THEN PULLING IT TODAY IS GREAT, BECAUSE THEN IT TAKES IT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, AND WE COME BACK WITH WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

>> RIGHT. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO BE SUPER CAUTIOUS OF IS BECAUSE IT'S CREDENTIAL BASED. AND SO WHEN WE HAVE THINGS FOR AN ENGLISH TEACHER AND WE'RE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO WORK IN SCIENCE, THEY'RE CREDENTIALED FOR ENGLISH. SO THE DISCIPLINARY LITERACY MIGHT BE PART OF IT, BUT IT'S BRINGING ON THE LENS OF AN ENGLISH TEACHER, HOW DO YOU SUPPORT YOUR STUDENTS? HOW DO YOU TEACH THEM THE BRANCH IN PIECES? SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE, IS HAVING OUR TEACHERS DO INTERDISCIPLINARY, BUT STAYING COMPLIANT WITH FPM AND OUR CAL SO THAT WE'RE NOT BEING DISPOSED, BUT NOT OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH POTENTIALS.

IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT IT'S IN THERE SO THAT WE'RE NOT CROSSING THE LINE OF, YOU'RE AN ENGLISH TEACHER, YOU NEED TO BE STICKING WITH YOUR ENGLISH CREDENTIAL. AND, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT ELEMENTARY, BECAUSE ELEMENTARY IS MULTIPLE SUBJECT.

>> RIGHT. >> AND SO THEY TEACH ALL OF THEM. SO IT'S MUCH CLEANER, AND IT'S MUCH EASIER.

>> SO WE COULDN'T DO EXAMPLE OF INSTEAD OF TYING IT TO A CREDENTIAL? IS THERE A WAY TO, TO WORD IT TO WHERE IT SAYS, EXAMPLES OF WOULD BE POSSIBLY THIS, THIS, THIS, AND THIS, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW. I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE AS A

THOUGHT. >> YEAH. WE COULD HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS, LIKE WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEY'RE HIRED, AND HAVE TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING. SO YOU'LL BE SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS, YOU'LL BE SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS, WITHOUT CALLING IT OUT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.

>> DO YOU FEEL, DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE --

>> I APPRECIATE YOUR, YOU STEPPING THAT OUT FOR ME. I'M, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PROCESS AND DIGEST THAT, BUT AGAIN, I STILL FEEL THAT, TO BE CLEAR IN COMMUNICATION, TO BE CLEAR WITH OUR TEAM MEMBERS THAT COME IN AND SPEAK TO US, THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING CALLED OUT SOMEWHERE. LIKE, OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED COULD BE. LIKE, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WORD IT IN A

JAR TERMS, BUT. >> I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S ON THE LAST, GOSH, IT'S ON THERE SOMEWHERE.

>> OTHER, OTHER -- >> IT DOESN'T SAY OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED, BUT IT SAYS THAT SAME --

>> THE ONE THAT SAYS -- RELATED DUTIES?

>> YES. YES. >> SO IN MY MIND, IF YOU'RE

[01:35:03]

SO, LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, I'M GOING TO USE THE COLLEGE AND CAREER COORDINATORS. YOU KNOW, AND I'VE, I'VE GOT A LOT OF COMMUNICATION FROM COUNSELORS, AND THIS IS NOW GOING TO FOLLOW, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, BUT THE COLLEGE AND CAREER COORDINATORS WERE DOING, ONTO THE COUNSELORS. WELL, IF OUR COUNSELORS ARE ALREADY OVERLOADED, RIGHT, CLEARLY THERE WAS A NEED TO CREATE THAT POSITION, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYWHERE IN HERE THAT THOSE POSITIONS WERE EVEN ELIMINATED, BUT THEY'RE NOT IN HERE, SO I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY ARE, BUT THEN, NOW, HOW HAVE OUR COUNSELORS JOB DESCRIPTIONS CHANGED? AND THEN IF THEY'RE ADDING ON ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY, I MEAN, I MEAN, I JUST KNOW IN MY LINE OF WORK IF I'M, YOU KNOW, UPPING WHAT MY EMPLOYEES NEED TO DO, TYPICALLY THAT INVOLVES MORE PAY. I MEAN, EVERYTHING CHANGES THERE. SO I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND VERY THOROUGH IF WE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS ON, WE NEED TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO ENSURE THAT EVERY, EVERY CHAIN REACTION THAT WE JUST NOW SET OFF, WE HAVE DONE OUR HOMEWORK, AND WE HAVE CLEARLY ASSESSED EACH JOB DESCRIPTION THAT IT IS

[01:45:14]

>>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM WITH

[01:45:19]

NEXT MEETING. >> I SECOND THAT.

>> BOARD MEMBER HOLLY -- WE WILL VOTE.

>> YEAH. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE. OKAY.

AND JUST TO BE SPECIFIC WE WILL START AT PAGE 40 IN THE PDF DOCUMENT JUST TO BE CLEAR, RIGHT? PAGE 40 TAKES US ALL THE WAY THROUGH THOSE TOA POSITIONS. THEN WE GET INTO THE VOLUNTEER LIST, CORRECT? THEN WE HAVE THE MENTAL HEALTH AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SKIPPED. YES. 72 ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO 86 ARE OKAY.

DOES THAT HELP? DID I JUST CONFUSE PEOPLE MORE?

>> OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER A SECOND BY MR. SERNA. ROLL CALL VOTE. VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY?

>> I. >> MR. RAMIREZ.

>> I. >> MISS SANDOVAL.

>> I. >> MR. SERNA.

>> I'M AN I. >> I WILL BE AN I FOR A 5-0 VOTE. I WILL JUST PUT A LINE SINCE THAT AND THEN I HAVE THE MOTION ON TO THE RIGHT. THEN I GUESS -- I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS IDENTIFY BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME. IN THE FUTURE FOR THE BOARD REPORT CAN WE JUST SEPARATE THESE ITEMS WHEN IT COMES TO A JOB DESCRIPTION VERSUS PERSONNEL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HIRE? JUST SO IT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN FRONT OF US. I SEE YOUR POINT BUT I KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR THESE THINGS. IF WE CAN

SEPARATE THE TWO. >> WOULD YOU PREFER THE WHOLE PERSONNEL PACKET BE UNDER THE FIVES INSTEAD OF IN PART? YOU WANT US TO FORMALLY APPROVE ALL PROMOTIONS, JOB DESCRIPTIONS IN.

>> I GUESS WE CAN PUT THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS IN THE FIVES AND THEN KEEP THE PERSONNEL IN THE CONSENT.

>> OKAY. >> SO WE ARE SAYING KEEP THE PERSONNEL REPORT FOR LIKE THE PROMOTIONS, ALL THE THINGS THAT GO ON AND ANYTIME WE ARE HAVING TO APPROVE JOB DESCRIPTIONS OR DELETIONS THAT IS IN THE FIVE FOR DISCUSSION? I THINK THAT WOULD BE CLEAR, RIGHT? CAUSE THE ROUTINE STUFF THAT HAPPENS IN THE CLASS -- IN THAT PERSONNEL REPORT IS ROUTINE. THAT COULD PROBABLY STAY IN CONSENT. WE COULD STILL PULL IT IF WE NEEDED TO. I'M THINKING IF THERE IS JOB DESCRIPTIONS OR ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO POSITIONS, THAT THOSE ARE IN DISCUSSION ITEMS SO IF WE NEED TO HAVE A TRUE DISCUSSION WE HAVE IT AND IF NOT WE -- WE ASK OUR QUESTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD AND THEN IF NOT WE MOVE IT ALONG, RIGHT? DOES THAT SOUND FAIR TO THE TEAM?

>> YEAH WE WILL ORGANIZE IT. >> OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

WE ALREADY VOTED SO NEVER MIND. >> JUST GETTING CLARITY.

[5.1 Superintendent Office - Regular Board Meeting Date Changes]

>> I KNOW. MOVING TON 5.1. SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE REGULAR BOARD DATE MEETING CHANGES. THIS ITEM IS FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE ITEM ATTACHED FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR AMENDING THE BOARD ACTION TAKEN ON JANUARY 22, 2025. SETTING IN REGULAR MEETING DATES FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR. IS THERE

A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 5.1. >> MOTION.

>> I WILL SECOND WITH A QUESTION.

>> GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION. >> I KNOW WE APPROVED THIS ALREADY ONCE BUT WHAT WAS THE -- THE NEED TO CHANGE THE DATES AGAIN? ARE WE ALIGNING DATES OR WHAT IS -- WHAT WAS THE PREMISE

TO CHANGING THE DATES AGAIN? >> WE ARE TRYING TO SHIFT THE DATES SO THEY WERE ON THE FIRST AND FOURTH FOR OUR BOARD MEETING AND FOR OUR SPECIAL BOARD MEETING.

>> GOT YOU. >> I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL. SO FOR JULY THAT IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF AMENDING THE JULY DATE THAT GOT MOVED FROM THE 16TH TO THE 23RD?

>> NO UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAS BEEN PLANS FOR -- THERE IS AN EVENT PLAN FOR THE DAY. IT IS THE -- WHAT DATE --

>> THE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT? >> YEAH THERE IS A LEADERSHIP SUMMIT THAT WAS FILLED ON THAT PART.

[01:50:01]

>> WE COULD SWAP TO THE 30TH AND PUT THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETING ON THE 23RD IF THAT IS MORE CONVENIENT. LIKE THE BOARD MEETING AND SPECIAL, SWAP THOSE TWO.

>> IS THERE A NEED FOR A JULY MEETING? I'M JUST ASKING THAT QUESTION. A LOT OF DISTRICTS GO DARK IN JULY. I'M JUST ASKING

THE QUESTION. >> THEY DO! PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE

ONLY HAVE ONE A MONTH. >> AH.

>> SO YOU COULD DOUBLE UP ON ANOTHER MONTH THOUGH, RIGHT?

>> UH-HUH. >> JUST ASKING.

>> I THINK WE HAVE BEEN DOINGGOOD. I'M JUST ASKING THE

QUESTION ABOUT THE JULY MEETING. >> I THINK THE SECOND WEEK IS THE NINTH. IS THAT THE SECOND WEEK? THAT IS A POSSIBILITY TO

PUSH IT EARLY. I THINK -- >> WE HAVE CONFERENCES GOING ON,

WELLNESS CONFERENCE, VACATIONS. >> PLUS IT IS SUMMER. I KNOW MISS SANDOVAL ALWAYS GOES TO TEXAS DURING THAT TIME. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I THOUGHT OF MISS SANDOVAL. SO ARE WE OKAY WITH -- ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE THE DATE? YOU CAN ZOOM IN. I

KNOW YOU HAVE AN EVENT THAT DAY. >> WE CAN.

>> OKAY. OKAY. >> SO THERE IS NO -- THOUGHT ABOUT DOUBLING UP A DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR TO GO DARK IN A MONTH? I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH ----.

>> IF WE COULD FIND A DATE IN JULY THAT WORKS THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IN JULY WE KICKED OFF OUR APPROVAL FROM JUNE AND THEN WE PROCESS A LOT OF THOSE ORDERS IN JULY IN APPROVALS.

>> GOT YOU. >> NO. WHICH IS BOARD APPROVAL.

>> THEN THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETING THAT IS SCHEDULED ON

JULY 30TH IS NEEDED AS WELL? >> YES, IT IS.

>> OKAY. >> DR. BARNS YOU HAD YOUR HAND

UP. >> I JUST SAID AS WE PREPARE FOR SCHOOL TO BEGIN IN AUGUST A LOT OF THE PAYROLL ISSUES, THAT IS WHAT A LOT OF THE BOOKLET YOU WERE LOOKING AT IMPACTS PAYROLL.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT WE HAVE ONE A MONTH SO THAT THE PAYROLL IS

ACCURATE. >> GOT YOU. OKAY.

>> IS THERE A POSSIBILITY OF A DIFFERENT DAY BESIDES WEDNESDAY?

>> I THINK WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT IS IT THE 15TH OR 14TH THAT WEEK PRIOR? IS THAT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT? INSTEAD OF THE 16TH,

THE 15TH, 14TH. >> HOW MANY MEETINGS ARE WE ALLOWED TO MISS A YEAR? IS THERE A REQUIREMENT?

>> NO. >> OKAY.

>> ACCORDING TO THE PASS I MISSED THEM ALL.

>> I AM GOOD ON THE 23RD. I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS.

>> I THINK I SEE A COUNCIL IS -- THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. I WAS ITCHING MY TRIGGER FINGER OVER HERE. THERE IS NO MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEETINGS. IF A BOARD MEMBER MISSES THREE MEETINGS IN A ROW THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO EXCUSE THAT BUT THERE IS OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT.

>> IF THE BOARD IS OPENED TO IT WE COULD CONSIDER THE DAY BEFORE

WHICH IS THE 15TH. >> I WON'T BE IN TOWN, I'M

SORRY. >> OKAY.

>> I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. THAT IS WHY I ASKED ABOUT THE JULY MONTH. BEING TRANSPARENT. I WOULD BE HERE THE 16TH CAUSE I KNEW THERE WAS A BOARD MEETING.

>> I'VE ALREADY MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS CALENDAR.

IT IS THE SUMMER. VACATIONS. >> OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. RAMIREZ A SECOND BY MR. SERNA. VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY?

>> I. >> MR. RAMIREZ.

>>. >> I MISS SANDOVAL.

[5.2 Board Member Request - Board Policy 1250: Visitors/Outsiders]

>>. >> I MR. SERNA.

>> AND I'M AN I FOR A 5-0 VOTE. 5.1 BOARD MEMBER REQUEST BOARD POLICY 1250 RISKER TO/OUTSIDERS. THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. AND I AM NOT SURE WHO -- WHICH BOARD MEMBER PULLED IT

OR ASKED FOR IT TO BE ON. >> I DID. I DID. I JUST WANTED SOME TO BRING THIS BACK UP TO REVISIT AND I DID GET SOME CONTEXT SO I APPRECIATE THAT WHEN I REQUESTED THIS. I FEEL BEING A TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROLE OF A BOARD MEMBER IS TO NOT DISRUPT WHAT IS HAPPENING, SHOW UP ON TESTING DAY. I TOTALLY GET THAT. I DO HOWEVER FEEL THE NEED FOR TRANSPARENCY AND IF WE WANT TO GO VISIT A SCHOOL SITE ALL THINGS CONSIDERED IT IS NOT DISRUPTING SOMETHING, I HAD ASKED WE BRING IT FORWARD FOR A DISCUSSION TO REVISIT THIS

[01:55:04]

POLICY. >> OKAY. WHAT PART OF THE POLICY WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DISCUSSED? REGARDING THE ACTUAL

BOARD POLICY. >> I BELIEVE THE PART THAT SAYS AND WE KIND OF WORKED THROUGH THIS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, PRIOR NOTIFICATION OF SCHOOL SITE VISITS OF GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS IS TO COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE WITH REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO ACCOMMODATE. I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THOSE SPECIFIC WINDOWS OF TIME THAT WE HAD TO GIVE ADVANCED NOTICE AND SO I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT WITH MY COLLEAGUES TO SEE WHAT WAS A REASONABLE TIME FRAME

TO ACCOMMODATE. >> OKAY. ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING?

>> YEAH, I COULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I FEEL LIKE BEING ONE OF THE NEW GUYS ON THE BOARD I KNOW THAT VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY AND I ARE THE TWO NEWEST BOARD MEMBERS BUT WE HAVE HAD THE BLESSING OF BEING ABLE TO GO TO A COUPLE OF CSBA THINGS AND I KNOW THAT VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY HAS ATTEND ADD COUPLE OF MASTERS OF GOVERNANCE EVENTS SO THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND THE WAY THEY DO THINGS AND THE WAY THEY PICK THEIR BRAIN AND I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHO KIND OF THERE ISN'T A POLICY FOR A BOARD MEMBER TO VISIT CAMPUS. THAT IS -- IT IS THE POE LET THING TO LET THE SUPERINTENDENT KNOW I WILL GO VISIT WHATEVER SCHOOL, I WANT TO DO A TOUR BUT THERE IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS IS MORE OF A COURTESY THAN IT IS A BY LAW. SO THAT IS -- I WILL JUST

SPEAK TO THAT EFFECT. >> MISS SANDOVAL.

>> I WILL DO THE OTHER SIDE. I WILL BE THE BAD GUY. I USUALLY AM. SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER EMPLOYEES, PARENTS, WHEN YOU ANNOUNCE YOU ARE COMING, LET'S SAY WE AT HOME AND YOU ANNOUNCE YOU ARE COMING, WHAT DO YOU? YOU VACUUM, YOU CLEAN WINDOWS, YOU WASH ALL YOUR DISHES, YOU MAKE YOUR BED, RIGHT? OKAY, SCHOOL IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IF YOU ANNOUNCE YOU ARE COMING THE PRINCIPAL PUTS ON HER BEST SUIT, OR HIS SUIT, NICE TIE, MAYBE THE COLOR WHOEVER THE BOARD MEMBER VISITING. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.

BUT IF YOU DON'T ANNOUNCE SOMETIMES YOU FIND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD TO YOU BY A PARENT AND YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND GO CHECK IT OUT. THAT IS WHAT I GET. UM, I WILL MAKE A PHONE CALL AND MAYBE THREAT OFFICE KNOW I'M GOING, MAYBE NOT. BUT MOST OF THE TIME I WILL GO TO A SCHOOL WHEN I'M INVITED AND I WILL LOOK FOR SOME OF THAT STUFF. IT IS NOT TO TEAR DOWN A TEACHER BUT NO MEANS BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN WITH MOST OF THE TIME MY GRAND KID ACTING UP, YOU KNOW. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM. SO THAT IS WHY I GO TO SCHOOL. IF A PARENT CALLS ME AND SAYS I NEED YOU TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL AND CHECK THIS OUT, THERE IS A RUNNER THAT NOTORIOUSLY AS SOON AS MOM DROPS HIM OFF HE GOES AND FINDS A WAY OUT. HE WIGGLES THROUGH THE GATE JUST LIKE THE LITTLE KID DID AT THE PRESIDENTIAL WHITE HOUSE. THEY FIND THEIR WAY OUT AND THEY WANT TO RUN SO THAT IS MY THING. I THINK THAT AS A BOARD MEMBER, YES, WE WANT TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE BUT THERE IS TIMES THAT WE NEED TO GO TO A SCHOOL UNANNOUNCED AND WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT. IF I TALK TO SOME OF YOU PARENTS TO NIGHT YOU WOULD PROBABLY TELL ME I NEED TO GO. YOU NEED TO SHIP. I NEED YOU TO GO SEE MY KID, WHAT MY KID IS DOING. THEY ARE COMING HOME TELLING ME THIS AND THIS SO I YESTERDAY YOU TO GO AND SEE IF THAT IS HAPPENING. THAT IS USUALLY WHAT MOM TELLS ME. SO I -- I THINK THAT THERE ARE TIMES THAT WE NEED TO GO UNANNOUNCED. LIKE WHAT IS MY COLLEAGUE OVER HERE SAYS? FORGIVE MY HIT, SOMETHING ABOUT MY HEART. WHAT

DO YOU SAY? I DON'T KNOW. >> BLAME IT ON MY HEAD AND NOT

MY HEART. >> THERE YOU GO. I LOVE THAT SAYING BUT I CAN'T CATCH ON TO THIS ONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

THAT IS HOW I FEEL. IF THERE IS A PARENT THAT CALLS ME AND WANTS KNOW GO SEE ABOUT THEIR CHILD, THAT IS WHAT I DO. SOME TIMES I GET IN TROUBLE BUT MOST OF THE TIME I GO ANNOUNCED HONESTLY. IF I HAVE SOMETHING ON MY PHONE THAT SAYS I NEED TO GO, I WILL

GO. >> YEAH I THINK HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. I KNOCKED A LOT OF DOORS WITHIN MY COMMUNITY AND AGAIN I AM RESPONSIBLE. I AM THE VOICE FOR THOSE WHO ELECTED ME AND THEN GONE ECHO MY COLLEAGUE'S PHRASES OF IF THERE ARE CONCERNS, IT IS MY

[02:00:03]

UP. >> ON THE OTHER SIDE I AM MORE WORRIED ABOUT BECAUSE WHEN WE DO GO, UM, IT DOES TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THE PRINCIPAL FROM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF AND WHEN A BOARD MEMBER DOES GO TO A SCHOOL THAT IT IS NOT INTERRUPTING WITH TESTING, IF THE PRINCIPAL HAS A MILLION THINGS TO DO, ENSURING THERE IS A DESIGNATED PERSON BUT NOW WE ARE TAKING THAT PERSON OUT OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND ADDING TO WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE AND RAISING TEST SCORES AND SO FORTH. SO THAT IS MY FEAR. I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT WHICH IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE I MEAN THE MORE AND MORE -- FURTHER WE GET IT IS JUST -- THE INSTRUCTION IS JUST GETTING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THAT. SO -- IF WE COULD BLOCK OUT -- I MEAN FOR ME I WANT TO ENSURE AT LEAST IT IS BLOCKED OUT FOR TESTING IF THEY ARE PREPARING. THEN I PERSONALLY THINK AT LEAST THE MORNING THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CALL THE PRINCIPAL AND SAY I WOULD LIKE -- OR CALL AND SAY I WOULD LIKE TO GO SEE THE SCHOOL, CALL THE PRINCIPAL JUST TO ASK IS THERE A -- DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON TODAY AND THEN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FROM THAT POINT.

>> BOARD PRESIDENT, I HAVE A -- I THINK I HAVE A GOOD COMPROMISE FOR THAT. I FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE JUST PROVIDED THE TESTING CALENDAR I THINK THAT WOULD BE PRETTY EASY FOR US TO HAVE DISCRETION. I THINK THAT WOULD REMEDY YOUR CONCERN.

>> I AM JUST GOING TO PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT WHAT IF I WANT TO SEE THEM TESTING? WHAT IF I WANT -- WHAT IF I WANTED TO GO IN THERE AND SEE THAT? I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT BUT I THINK IT IS PUTTING LIMITS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE AND THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN SO AGAIN I'M TRYING TO MIND THAT COMPROMISE HERE. IT IS OUR OBLIGATION TO ENSURE THAT THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WE REPRESENT, WE KNOW AND HAVE A GOOD, TRUE PULSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM. AND JUST LIKE MY COLLEAGUE SAID, IT IS EXACTLY THAT WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS COMING OVER, YOU SPRAY THE AIR FRESHENER, YOU VACUUM, YOU DO ALL THE THINGS, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. THAT IS NOT REAL LIFE. I'M INTERESTED IN REAL LIFE AND WHAT IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY.

>> BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ IF I MAY? YES, SIR.

>> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO AND I THINK I RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD RECEIVE SOME ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE COMMENTS. THERE ARE RAMIFICATIONS THAT PROBABLY AREN'T ON THE TIP OF EVERYBODY'S FOREHEAD. LIKE TO BYLAWS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE AMENDED. THERE IS A SPECIFIC LEGAL ISSUE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE THE BOARD CONFIDENTIALLY. I COULD DO THAT IN READING TOMORROW TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS. THESE THINGS CAN BE OVER COME IF AND WHEN THE COMES BACK FOR AN AMENDMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AND A COUPLE OF THE POINTS I HAVE RAISED SHOULD BE CONFIDENTIAL IF THAT IS OKAY.

>> ABSOLUTELY. VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY, YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT?

>> YES, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> WELL, I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO PUSH BACK ON THAT. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD STILL MOVE FORWARD WITH GETTING THAT PART STRICKEN FROM THIS BYLAW. SO I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO TELL US BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE IT IS BASED ON THE THINGS I'M HEARING FROM MY COLLEAGUES WE SHOULD START REMOVING FROM THE BYLAW. SO, THAT IS WHERE I STAND ON

THAT. >> WELL THIS ITEM IS ONLY FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY. IT WASN'T FOR ACTION OR BOTH. THIS IS JUST DISCUSSION. WE CAN PUT THIS ON THE NEXT AGENDA FOR ACTION AND DISCUSSION OR DISCUSSION AND ACTION IF -- YOU

LIKE? >> I MEAN IF WE HAVE A MOTION WE CAN AMEND IT ON THE SPOT, RIGHT HERE AT THE MEETING.

[02:05:01]

>> LEGAL. >> YES, ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA

CAN BE IF THE BOARD CHOOSES. >> I WILL --

>> ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA. >> PRESIDENT I DO WANT TO HEAR WHAT MARK HAS TO SHOW US JUST TO MAKE A REAL GOOD EDUCATED DECISION BEFORE ANYBODY WANTS TO CHANGE LANGUAGE THAT CURRENTLY IS THERE. THAT IS JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION JUST TO BE ABLE TO RESEARCH IT GREATLY AND THEN IF WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO STRIKE ANY LANGUAGE, I AM OKAY WITH THAT. I'M NOT SURE I WOULD

BE PREPARED TONIGHT TO DO THAT. >> AND BOARD PRESIDENT, I DON'T MEAN TO BE SECRETIVE OR MYSTERIOUS. THERE IS JUST ONE SPECIFIC ISSUE THAT MAY ADDRESS MAYBE AFFECT THE INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY. IT IS NO FOR OPENED DISCUSSION UNLESS I KNEW THIS PARTICULAR DETAIL WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER. SORRY TO BE SO MYSTERIOUS.

>> AS LONG AS YOU KEEP US OUT OF LEGAL TROUBLE I'M FINE.

>> MY CHIEF CONCERN WAS I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CLEAR INFORMATION TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION SO I APPRECIATE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO MAKE AN INFORMED

DECISION SO I'M OKAY WITH THAT. >> OKAY. SO WE WILL -- CAN WE AFTER WE GET THE INFORMATION CAN WE PLACE THIS ON THE NEXT BOARD

MEETING, PLEASE? >> WILL DO. THANK YOU.

>> I WILL BE READING THE WRITTEN TRANSLATION. GOOD EVENING BOARD

[02:10:23]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING NOW PRESIDENT PEREZ, VICE PRESIDENT HOLLY, CABINET AND BOARD. TODAY I'M HERE IN REPRESENTATION OF REDWOOD ELEMENTARY, OUR ENTIRE TEAM.

MOST OF YOU WERE THERE TODAY. I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I DO. FIRST UH WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE, FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM. THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE THERE TODAY -- SORRY, I'M NOT A CRYER BUT I'M EMOTIONAL ABOUT THIS. OUR PROGRAM IS BEAUTIFUL. WE WILL R THERE TO SERVED COMMUNITY. WE ARE THERE TO SERVE THE NEED AND WE ARE PROVIDING A SERVICE OUR CHILDREN WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYWHERE ELSE. WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING I HAVE TEACHERS THAT ARE AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THEIR JOBS, IF THEY WILL BE EMPLOYED. I HAVE PARENTS QUESTIONING IF THEIR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE A LIFE PROGRAM. THOSE OF YOU SAW THE BEAUTY OF THE PROGRAM, THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROGRAM AND HOW WELL WE HAVE DEVELOPED THIS PROGRAM. WE HAVE HAVE BEEN VISITED BY THE COUNTY AND BEEN GIVEN RECOGNITION. THEY HAVE PRAISED US ON THE PROGRAM AND HOW MUCH WE HAVE CREATED -- HOW MUCH WE BUILT WITH SO LITTLE RESOURCE. THE RESOURCES THAT HAVE BUILT THIS PROGRAM IS BY THE DIRECTION OF MY DIRECTOR, BY MYSELF AND THIS STAFF THAT WE WERE COMMITTED TO BEING THERE AFTER SCHOOL, BEFORE SCHOOL, DURING SUMMER HOURS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED WITH INTEGRITY AND WITH FIDELITY TO A MODEL. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS MODEL AND TAKEN IT OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT AND SHOWCASED OUR WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE AT REDWOOD. REDWOOD HAS CONTINUED TO SUCCEED AND EXCEL ACROSS ALL THE AREAS BUT NOW THE TEACHERS ARE CONCERNED WITH HOW WILL THE TEACHERS AND PROGRAM BE SUPPORTED IF YOU ARE NO LONGER THERE? HOW WILL WE CONTINUE TO ENSURE ON GOING ACADEMIC CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DEVELOPMENT? WHAT STRUCTURES WILL BE PUT IN PLACE TO PROVIDE THE TEACHERS WITH ON GOING COACHING LESSON DEMONSTRATION, SPECIALIZED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, CURRICULUM GUIDANCE TO ENHANCE THE INSTRUCTION TO ENSURING THE CONTINUOUS AND SUSTAINMENT OF THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM AT REDWOOD IS A TREMENDOUS ASSET, NOT JUST TO FONTANA UNIFIED BUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE FUTURE OF OUR STUDENTS. THE REDWOOD ELEMENTARY PROGRAM IS A BEACON OF EXCELLENCE DEMONSTRATING ACADEMIC, CULTURAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS OF BILINKAL EDUCATION. BY INVESTING IN THIS PROGRAM WE

>> NEXT WE HAVE MRS. ARIA AND RUDY CASTRO IS ON DECK AND MARK

WILL BE FINAL. >> GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS AND PUBLIC. MY NAME IS MARIA AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION COMMUNITY. I AM A PARENT OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN AND I HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL YEARS OF THESE BOARDS AND I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING VICE PRESIDENT MISS HOLLY. JUST LIKE YOU ASKED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY, THAT IS WHAT MOST OF US HAVE COME AND ASKED FOR MANY YEARS.

SOME TIMES WE GET AN ANSWER, SOMETIMES WE DON'T. SO ONCE AGAIN I AM HERE TO SPEAK FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CHILDREN. WE HAVE A NEW ADMINISTRATION AT THE DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN PROMISED TO SEE CHANGES AND I HAVE SEEN SOME CHANGES BUT THERE IS AREAS THAT ARE STILL CONCERNING ME SPECIFICALLY. I HAVE A CHILD IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I REQUESTED HE BE IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. USUALLY WHEN A PARENT ASKS FOR A DHIELD BE ASSESSED THEY GET AN ASSESSMENT PLAN. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PARENT TO SHOW INVOLVEMENT AND SAY THIS IS WHAT I AM CONCERNED SO I DID. I FREELY STATED ON THE PIECE OF PAPER THIS IS THE AREAS I AM CONCERNED FOR MY CHILD. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD? I GET TWO PAGE LETTER A PWN, PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE SAYING WE WON'T LISTEN TO YOU. RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU ARE NOT STARTING BY LISTENING TO THE PARENT. AND INSTEAD I GET A LENGTHY EXCUSE WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LOOK AT THIS, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SEE THIS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE -- WE ARE DENY, DENY, DENY. SO I AM LIKE SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE TO HAVING PARENT INVOLVEMENT IF YOU WILL SAY NO FROM THE SCRATCH, FROM THE BEGINNING? IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. SO I SEND IN MY LETTER ANYWAY AND SAY FINE, DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE, YOU WILL DO IT ANYWAY, RIGHT? BUT IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE I KEEP HEARING, I KEEP SEEING THE SAME PARENT OVER AND OVER, THEY DON'T DISREGARD THE PARENTS AS IEP MEMBERS WHICH BY LAW WE ARE PROTECTED BECAUSE WE ARE THE PARENTS. WE SEEK WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR CHILDREN. YET WE GET IGNORED AT IEP MEETINGS. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK AT TIMES. WE ARE TOLD SAVE YOUR COMMENT TILL THE END, DON'T SHARE THAT RIGHT NOW.

DON'T SAY THIS. IT IS LIKE WAIT A MINUTE, WHY DON'T YOU TREAT ME AS AN EQUAL AND IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. MANY TIMES I HAVE FELT FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THE IEP TEAM HAS DECIDED THIS AND I SAID WAIT A MINUTE, DID YOU TAKE MY COMMENT INTO CONSIDERATION AND I HAVE ASKED DO YOU CONSIDER ME AN IE PESHGS MEMBER, YES OR NO? THEY SAY YES AND I SAY SO WHY DIDN'T YOU CONSIDER MY COMMENT? WHY ARE YOU STILL MAKING A CHOICE AS A GROUP AND YOU ARE SAYING YOU AGAINST THE PARENT? I FELT IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I AM SEEKING HERE FOR ALL YOU MEMBERS TO PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DIRECTOR AND SEE THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED OR MODIFIED IN ORDER TO SERVE YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS

COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, BOARD, PRESIDENT PEREZ, SUPERINTENDENT. I'M RUDY CASTRO WITH THE CRB.

IN THE 2019-2020 BUDGET FIRST BUDGET CALIFORNIA SPENT $103 BILLION IN STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL FUNDS FOR EDUCATION.

THAT ADDS UP TO $17,423 PER PUPIL. IT IS NOT FLATTENED OUT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. TICKED UP TO $19,500 PER PUPIL.

FEDERAL STIMULUS FUNDING FROM THE PANDEMIC EXPIRED LAST YEAR.

WE CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LARGE FROM THE COVID FIASCO. THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. WE MUST ALL STEP UP TO THIS CHALLENGE. MOST RECENT SCORES ARE OUT FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 23-24. NO CHANGE FROM THE

[02:20:04]

THESE ISSUES OF SIGNIFICANCE. NOW WE FIND THEM THROWN IN A PILE LABELED NON-DANGER -- NORTHERN-AGE -- NON-AGE THATITEMS AT THE ENDING OF THE MEETING. WE NEED UNITY OF PURPOSE ON ACHIEVEMENT IN THE CLASSROOMS. NOT UNICORNS, NOT PORN AND NOT RAINBOW FLAGS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.MARK. >> GOOD EVENING, BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, HONORABLE BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT AND MOST OF ALL THE FONTANA COMMUNITY. MY NAME IS MARK. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE FONTANA TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION AND HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TEACHING THIS COMMUNITY FOR 28 YEARS. AT LAST MONTH'S BOARD MEETING SUPERINTENDENT INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION FOR THIS SCHOOL BOARD TO ADOPT. THIS RESOLUTION BASICALLY ASKS FOR THE ELIMB NATION OF 119 CERTIFICATED POSITIONS. VARIOUS TEACHERS, TEACHERS ON ASSIGNMENT, COLLEGE AND READY COORDINATORS, INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES AND TWO SPECIAL EDUCATOR TEACHERS. THE QUESTION CAME UP DID THE ASSOCIATION KNOW THERE WAS GOING TO BE CUTS COMING UP? LAST YEAR THE BUDGE LET A SHORTFALL OF MORE THAN $100 MILLION. WIN IN #234I SENSE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE BUDGET CUTTING MEASURES TANG. TO THAT EXTENT WE KNEW CHANGES AND CUTS WOULD BE COMING. UNFORTUNATELY THE PUBLIC AND MANY OF OUR TEACHERS WERE LEFT WITH IMPRESSION THAT THE NOON TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION WAS INVOLVED THEY DECISION MAKING PROCESS. WE WERE NOT. THE DISTRICT IS THE EMPLOYER, WE ARE THE EMPLOYEES. OUR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT DOES NOT GIVE US THE AUGHT TOY MAKE THOSE DECISIONS ON WHICH POSITIONS GET CUT OR RESTRUCTURED. THE QUESTION CAME UP MORE THAN ONCE ASKING IF I WAS PREPARED TO CLARIFY THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CUTTING OF THE POSITIONS. I AM THE PUBLIC SPOKESPERSON FOR THOSE TEACHERS.

BEFORE I CONTINUE I WANT TO SHARE SOME BOARD POLICIES, STANDARDS. I AM JUST SHARING EXCERPTS. EACH INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER SHALL ACT WITH DIGNITY AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF DEMEANOR AND BEHAVIOR, GOVERN AND DIGNIFY WITH PROFESSIONAL MANNER TREATING EVERYONE WITH CIVILITY AND RESPECT. GOVERN BOARD ADOPTED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. ENSURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIVERSE RANGE OF VIEWS IN THE COMMUNITY TO INFORM BOARD

[02:25:07]

RECOGNIZE PERSONS WHO DESIRE TO SPEAK AND PROTECT THE SPEAKER AS THE FLOOR FROM DISTURBANCE OR INTERFERENCE. AND OF COURSE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORDERLY CONDUCT OF ALL BOARD MEETINGS.

SO, WHEN I DID NOT SPEAK UP THAT WAS THE FASTEST THREE MINUTES.

REQUESTING PERMISSION TO CONTINUE OR I CAN TURN IT OVER

TO SOMEONE ELSE? >> IF YOU COULD JUST FINISH YOUR

CLOSING THOUGHTS. >> I HAVE ABOUT ONE MORE MINUTE ROUGHLY I GUESS. SO WHY DID NOT SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF THOSE MORE THAN 1,800 TEACHERS? THE ANSWER IS VERY SIMPLE. SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. AS BOARD PRESIDENT HE HAS THE DISCRETION TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK.

MR. PEREZ WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK. HE THEN FROM HIS POSITION, A A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP, SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE A ROLE MODEL FOR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY BEGAN ATTACKING ME.

WHAT KIND OF PERSON CALLS SOMEONE OUT IN PUBLIC FORM A POSITION OF AUTHORITY AND THEN REFUSES TO ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK? I THINK THAT WE KNOW THE NAME FOR THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR. BOARD MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN A PROFESSIONAL TONE AND MODEL CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. THAT CLEARLY DID NOT HAPPEN. BOARD MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW AND MOD TELL CONDUCT OUTLINED IN THEIR OWN BOARD POLICY. THAT CLEARLY DID NOT HAWAII -- HAPPEN. THANK

YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THAT TAKES US TO 6.2. THE NEXT ITEM IS 6.2 PUBLIC SUBMISSION FOR AGENDA ITEM. MAY I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO HEAR THIS REQUEST?

>> I WILL ASK AGAIN. CAN I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO HEAR THIS

PUBLIC REQUEST? >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION.

>> I WILL SECOND TO HEAR THE REQUEST.

>> OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER HOLLY A SECOND BY

MR. SERNA. >> WE HAVE TO VOTE?

>> YEAH IT IS JUST FOR DISCUSSION. LET'S HEAR FROM THE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO REQUESTED IT. CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS YOUR

DANGER ITEM. >> JUST SO YOU KNOW I HAVE THE KEY CARD AND THEN THREE MORE AFTER THAT.

>> OKAY. SO GOOD EVENING BOARD. I ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO ASK WHERE WAS THE REPEAL OF THE POLICY TON AGENDA FOR OPENED DISCUSSION AND DIALOGUE AND ACTION BY THIS BOARD. WITH THE ATTACHMENT INDICATED IN MY LETTER MICKEY AND ADAM YOU ARE BOTH RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AGENDA. YOU INITIALLY IGNORED THE PUBLIC'S COMMENT. I DID NOT COME HERE TONIGHT TO HEAR MYSELF SPEAK. ACTUALLY CALM HERE TO HEAR THE THOUGHTS OF THE BOARD.

THANK YOU. >> NEXT WE HAVE MORGAN. JODI YOU

ARE ON DECK. >> GOOD EVENING.MY NAME IS MORGAN. I'M A RESIDENT HERE TONIGHT ASKING WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE DOING? EQUITY POLICIES ARE NOT LIP SERVICE. THEY DIDN'T DIE, BECOME LESS NEEDRDED OR INVALIDATED. THEY ARE A PROMISE FROM THE DISTRICT TO IT'S CONSTITUTION ENDS TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES TO ALLOW ALL STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE WORLD BEYOND THE CLASSROOM AND INDEED BOARD POLICY 4015 IS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPLIES WITH STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS INCLUDING CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE WHICH STATES IN PART QUOTE, EDUCATION IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION. STATE STATUTES FURTHER PLACE UPON THEIR LOCAL AGENCY THE AFFIRMATIVE OBLIGATION TO COMBAT BIAS AGAINST PEOPLE'S WITHIN THEIR SCHOOLS END QUOTE. DISMANTLING THIS POLICY WOULD BE A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE MANDATE TO BE PROACTIVE. TO THAT END I HAVE TO ASK WHY ARE YOU ENTERTAINING THIS ITEM? IT IS AT

[02:30:01]

STUDENTS SUCCESS IS TIED TO EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS THEY CAN LOOK UP AND SEE THEMSELVES IN. WHY WHEN THERE ARE THESE PROVEN OUTCOMES ARE WE CONSIDERING AND REPEALING A POLICY THAT ENABLES THEM? IN CONCLUSION YOU HEARD EVERYONE HERE IF YOU DISMANTLE EQUITY POLICY. YOURSELF, YOUR FACULTY AND STAFF AND YOUR STUDENTS. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THE REPEAL OF THIS POLICY AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE SAME.

>> AFTER JODI TAYLOR WE WILL CLOSE WITH MARK.

>> GOOD EVEN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY, DISTRICT CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. MY NAME IS JODI TAYLOR AND I'M AN EMPLOYEE OF THE DISTRICT. I TEACH 6TH GRADE LANGUAGE ARTS AND SOCIAL #12UDYS AT FONTANA MIDDLE SCHOOL.

BOARD POLICY 415. THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE REASON WHY THIS BOARD WOULD EVEN CONSIDER REPEALING THIS POLICY. WHY WOULD THEY CONSIDER TAKING AWAY RIGHTS DELINEATED BY THIS POLICY. OUR JOBS IN EDUCATION SHOULD BE A WAYS TO BUILD STUDENTS UP, MORE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING, NOT EVER TAKING AWAY ANYTHING. YOUR BOARD POLICY 01415 CLEARLY STATES THAT YOU BELIEVE EQUITY AND ACCESS TO PROGRAMS, SERVICES AND RESOURCES ARE CRITICAL TO CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN OUR IDENTIFIED STUDENT GROUPS. IF YOU REPEL THIS BOARD POLICY, I ASK YOU WHICH OF THOSE GROUPS ARE YOU SAYING NO LONGER DESERVE THAT? WHICH DESERVE LESS EQUITY AND ACCESS TO CURRICULUM? IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION. IT WOULD MEAN THAT THIS BOARD NO LONGER VALUES THE WORK THAT MYSELF AND ANY EDUCATOR DOES TO SUPPORT THOSE STUDENTS. ALL STUDENTS FROM THOSE IDENTIFIED GROUPS, PLEASE, I URGE THIS GROUP TO CONTINUE YOUR SUPPORT IN POLICY EQUITY 415. PLEASE DO NOT REPEAL YOUR OWN POLICY. GOOD NIGHT.

>> GOOD EVENING AGAIN. BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ. HONORABLE BOARD MEMBERS, I WANT TO THANK YOU. LAST MAY, YOU DID A BOARD POLICY THAT WAS GREAT, IT BROUGHT US IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, AND THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS. WE ARE IN ALIGNMENT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING LIGHTLY DONE. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. ALTHOUGH I WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A TURN HERE, WE OFTEN HEAR THE TERMS DEI TOSSED OUT CASUALLY. SO I HAVE TURNED TO A VERY RADICAL LEFT-WING GROUP, THE PGA PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION FOR SOME COMMON DEFINITIONS, UNDERSTANDING WHAT DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION MEAN. THEY PROVIDED AS FAIRNESS AND RESOURCES, OPPORTUNITIES AND

[02:35:05]

SURELY, THAT IS A POSITIVE THING, NOT SOMETHING WE SHOULD GET AWAY FROM. I'M CONFIDENT THIS BOARD WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND CONTINUE WITH ITS OWN EXCELLENT POLICY. THANK YOU FOR

YOUR TIME TONIGHT. >> I HAVE ONE MORE. THAT IS MARK 6.2 AND 6.3. SALGADO, ARE YOU SPEAKING ON THIS ONE? COME ON.

>> GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY, BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND THE FONTANA COMMUNITY. I AM HERE REPRESENTING THE REVIEW BOARD. I'M HERE TO REITERATE WHAT OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP HAVE MENTIONED. AND THAT IS THAT YOU, SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY, YOU BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ ARE NOT OPERATING IN GOOD FAITH OR DISCRETION, ENABLING AN AGENDA ITEM THAT DOES FALL WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THIS BOARD. YOU ARE SIMPLY IGNORING THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT ELECTS YOU. SIMPLY ADDING IT TO THE AGENDA, EXCLUDING ANY ATTACHMENTS PROVIDED TO YOU IN VIOLATION OF THE ACT, ENABLING IT AS A NON-AGENDA ITEM. THIS HAPPENED WITH OUR FLAG POLICY, AND NOW AGAIN WITH THIS. THIS FALLS ON BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ, SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY, OR THE ONES WHO SENT THE AGENDA. FOR THE PARENTS AND THE INTEREST OF THIS COMMUNITY, LEAVING A COMMENT OR SPEAK ON THIS MATTER, IT WOULD JUST FALL ON DEAF EARS.

THIS BOARD REALLY HAS NO INTEREST IN US AND WHAT THE PARENTS HAVE TO SAY. WE JUST CARRY ON WITH THE AGENDA FROM THE TOP AND NOT FROM THE -- WHICH IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

PARENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EVEN STUDENTS COME SPEAK ON CONCERNS. THIS BOARD JUST SITS THERE AND IGNORES THEM. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. BUT THEN THEY QUICKLY MOVED POLICY TO REDUCE PUBLIC COMMENTS. THEY WILL CLAIM NOT TO HAVE FUNDS FOR UPGRADES, BUT THEN THEY DO WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING THEMSELVES RAISES. RIGHT, SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY. 464,000 OF TAXPAYER MONEY. OR THEY WILL CLAIM TO NOT ACCOMMODATE THE FAMILIES. BUT THEN THEY SOMEHOW CAN PROVIDE EQUITY RESOURCES TO THOSE THAT FALL IN THEIR SPECIAL GROUPS THAT THEY FAVOR MORE.

THIS EQUITY POLICY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED AS AN ACTION ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AND A VOTE. BUT IT IS APPARENT THIS BOARD IS NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT THE PUBLIC HAS TO SAY. MONTH AFTER MONTH, WE WILL BE HERE EXPOSING BAD PRACTICES THAT PARENTS AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE OF. THIS BOARD IS NOT TRANSPARENT OR

HONEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> LEGAL, CAN YOU PLEASE GET SOME INSIGHT TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS WAS PLACED IN THIS SECTION.

>> YES, THANK YOU. THE AD CODE, IT IS PROBABLY EXACTLY OR BYLAWS, REQUIRES THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC BE ALLOWED TO PLACE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO SCHOOL DISTRICT BUSINESS. I'M READING FROM THAT CODE 3545.5. IT ALSO SAYS EVERY AGENDA FOR REGULAR MEETINGS SHALL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD ON ANY ITEM OF INTEREST WITHIN YOUR SUBJECT MATTER OF JURISDICTION. THERE ARE KIND OF TWO DIFFERENT RULES THERE, BUT IT'S WHAT THIS AGENDA REFLECTS, WHICH IS THE REQUEST TO PLACE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA, ADDRESSING THE REPEAL, THE SUGGESTED REPEAL AND BOARD POLICY. SO PUTTING IT ON THE AGENDA, THE PLACE, AND IN THE MANNER THAT IS DETERMINED WITH

[02:40:05]

>> THANK YOU. ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? HEARING NOTHING, WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6.3. THE NEXT ITEM IS 6.3, PUBLIC SUBMISSION OF AGENDA ITEM, TIMING OF PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. MAY I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO HEAR THIS

PUBLIC REQUEST? >> I WILL MOTION TO HEAR IT.

>> I WILL SECOND. MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER SERNA, SECONDED BY BOARD MEMBER HOLLEY. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS YOUR A

GENDERIZED ITEM. >> FOLLOWING HER, IT LOOKS LIKE

WE HAVE -- AS WELL. >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN. I'M HERE ONCE AGAIN TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY. I HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS MEETINGS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. SEEKING FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS TO HEAR US OUT. IN THE PAST, NON-AGENDA ITEMS WERE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PEOPLE MAKING COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED TO PUT NON-AGENDA ALL THE WAY TO THE END. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNFAIR PRACTICE BECAUSE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, I HAVE SEEN ELDERLY PEOPLE, CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BEING HERE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT. AND YOU MAKING THEM WAIT ALL THIS TIME UNTIL THE END, IT'S JUST UNJUST. IT SADDENS ME TO SEE A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD HERE WAITING ALL THIS TIME JUST TO BE HERE WITH THE PARENT. IT IS NOT FAIR. YOU ARE ALL ADULTS. YOU SAID YOU COULD WAIT. BUT MAKING A CHILD ARE SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND ALL THIS LENGTH OF TIME. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. I'M HERE TO PLEAD, ASK YOU TO DISCUSS, MAKE A VOTE, AND BRING BACK NON-AGENDA ITEMS TO THE BEGINNING OF YOUR MEETINGS. YOU MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR YOUR OWN STUDENTS. YOU TELL THEM YOU'VE GOT TO WAKE UP EARLY TOMORROW, SO COME GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION, CHEER UP, TAKE A PHOTO. TAKING EFFECT FOR SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY, CHILDREN AND ELDERLY, HAVE THEM BE ABLE TO COME TO THE FRONT AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE COMMENTS. IT SADDENS ME THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE ALWAYS AN EFFORT FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY AND ELDERS TO BE ABLE TO BE HEARD. AND YOU JUST BRINGING US TO THE END, IT'S JUST A SLAP IN THE FACE. PLEASE, I URGE YOU, ALL MEMBERS, TO DISCUSS IT TODAY, TO TALK ABOUT IT, HOW FEASIBLE IT IS TO MOVE BACK THE NON-AGENDA ITEMS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. IT IS JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT STAY TOO LONG.

YOU HAVE HERE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A FAMILY THAT HAD TO ENDURE SEVERAL HOURS. SOMETIMES YOUR MEETINGS GO TO 10:00, 11:00 AT NIGHT. ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A CHILD WAIT HERE TO PROVIDE COMMENT? OR APPARENT THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE CHILDCARE IT HAS TO BE HERE WITH THE CHILDREN? SO PLEASE, HAVE A HEART AND MOVE BACK THE NON-AGENDA ITEMS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. MY CHILD USUALLY COMES WITH ME. SHE IS A SPECIAL NEEDS. SHE IS NOT HERE TODAY BECAUSE SHE CANNOT STAY HERE 2-3 HOURS TO WAIT FOR HER TURN, OR TO WAIT FOR ME. MY FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO COME, AND THEY CANNOT WAIT FOR 3-4 HOURS. I'M ASKING YOU TO PLEASE, DO DISCUSS THIS ITEM, AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO LISTEN TO THOSE IN NEED. THEY NEED TO BE HEARD. THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING AGAIN, BORED. I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT YOUR DESIRE TO ENSURE THEY ARE PRODUCTIVE AND EFFICIENT. BUT LET'S TAKE A QUICK WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE. LAST YEAR, THE PARENT, STUDENT OR ANYONE COULD ADDRESS THE SCHOOL BOARD AND

[02:45:01]

[7. Board Member Requests/Comments]

>> SURE. I DIDN'T PREPARE A REPORT. HOWEVER, I WENT TO THE WELLS CONFERENCE IN ANAHEIM. IT WAS SO INFORMATIONAL. I MEAN, I LEARNED SO MUCH. I ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO ATTEND THAT CONFERENCE. NOT ONLY DO YOU VISIT THE SITE WE WENT TO, ORANGE COUNTY, BUT THEY SERVICE NINE CITIES, PROBABLY OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE, AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT WAS HOW THEY CLEAN THE WATER. YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY UGLY STUFF. SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT WHAT WAS INTERESTING, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE YOUR OSMOSIS FILTER THAT YOU HAVE UNDER YOUR SINK, WE USED TO HAVE ONE. WE DON'T KNOW. IT GOES THROUGH PROBABLY NINE DIFFERENT STATIONS OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER. EVERY TIME IT HITS THE ONE STATION, THEY WILL CHECK IT AGAIN TO SEE HOW CLEAN THE WATER IS GETTING. SO BY THE TIME THEY FINISH, IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR. BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING, THE FILTER RATION, THE FILTER ITSELF, IT'S LIKE A LONG BAG. OKAY? LIKE A TRASH BAG. ON THE SIDES OF THE TRASH BAG, THERE ARE LOTS OF LITTLE HOLES. THERE ARE HOLES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT COMES IN THE FRONT AND THE BACK.

EVERY TIME THE WATER COMES OUT, THEY HAVE THIS DEVICE THAT CHECKS THE WATER. SO IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING, OF COURSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TASTE THE WATER AT THE END, BUT YOU GO THROUGH, YOU GO THROUGH, THEY HAVE THIS ROOM THAT HAS NOTHING BUT COMPUTERS. IT'S SHOWING EACH STATION, EACH FILTER GOING THROUGH AND SHOWING YOU HOW THE WATER IS BEING CLEANED OUT. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES. IT SEEMS IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS FOR THE WATER TO BE CLEANED. AFTER, IT GOES OUT TO THE HOMES. WHEN YOU ARE IN ORANGE COUNTY, CHECK WITH THEIR OUR PONDS. WHERE THERE ARE PONDS, THAT IS WHERE THE WATER IS GOING THROUGH. AS IT GOES DOWN, IT GOES THROUGH THE FILTERING SYSTEM. THAT IS WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME. HEY, THERE IS ONE THERE, THERE'S ONE THERE. THAT WAS INTERESTING. IT WAS ALMOST A TWO DAY TOUR. IT WAS SO INTERESTING TO SEE HOW SOMEBODY HAS TAKEN THE TIME AND FIGURED OUT HOW TO CLEAN OUR WATER. WE DO HAVE PURPLE PIPES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THE SOUTH END. WE NOW HAVE THAT. I BELIEVE IT STARTED ON THE CITY COUNCIL. I BELIEVE MR. -- WAS OUT THERE WHEN IT WAS FIRST INITIATED. IN THE SOUTH END, WE HAVE PURPLE PIPES AND THAT IS HOW WE WATER OUR GRASS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT IN

[02:50:02]

MY TRIP AND I REALLY LIKED IT. >> I ACTUALLY WENT ONE DAY.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING. EVEN IF THE ONE DAY IT'S REALLY INTERESTING. IT WAS LIKE FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO. TAPPING INTO THE PURPLE LINES, WHICH WOULD BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY ON. IT'S BEEN REALLY PRODUCTIVE FOR US. I KNOW THE CITY IS CONTINUING TO ADD MORE PURPLE LINES. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM.

>> AND YOU KNOW, ONE LAST THING I WANT TO SHARE, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE LEAVING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, THESE AGENCIES HAVE JOBS THAT DON'T REQUIRE YOUR STUDENT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, ANY PARTICULAR CERTIFICATION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THEY SEND YOUR STUDENT TO SCHOOL TO LEARN AND IT'S FREE.

IT DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING. CHECK OUT YOUR WATER AGENCY AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS . YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE ALREADY RETIRED AND YOU WANT ANOTHER JOB AND YOU FEEL FIT, GO FOR IT. CHECK OUT YOUR WATER AGENCY THOUGH. THEY DO OFFER FREE EDUCATION. AND EXCUSE ME, GETTING YOUR CERTIFICATE FOR THE WATER AGENCY. AND IT'S PRETTY GOOD MONEY. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MISS SANDOVAL. FOR ME, I WENT TO THE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE. IT PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINED MY CHILDHOOD GROWING UP, WHICH WAS KIND OF INTERESTING. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I START REALLY REMEMBERING A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS. IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. BETWEEN 1980 AND 1989, MULTIPLE COURT CASES AND STATEWIDE POSITIONS SUCH AS PROPOSITION 227 AND 187 SIGNIFICANTLY HINDERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM.

THESE MEASURES WERE LATER OVERTURNED, PAVING THE WAY FOR AN ACHIEVEMENT OF EL INITIATIVES. THE ROAD MAP WAS INTRODUCED DURING COVID 19 PANDEMIC. DISRUPTION TO PUBLIC EDUCATION AS A RESULT OF THE INITIAL IMPLICATION OF THE ROAD MAP WAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED, CAUSING DELAYS ACROSS THE DISTRICTS. WITH RECENT LEGISLATIVE WORK, MANY OF THESE BILLS REMAIN UNFUNDED. ONGOING ADVOCACY EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO URGE THE ADMINISTRATION TO ALLOCATE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO ENSURE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THESE INITIATIVES. THERE IS A RENEWED MOMENTUM IN THE SUPPORT OF ENGLISH LEARNERS SUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA ORGANIZATION, PLAYING A KEY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THESE EFFORTS ALONG WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND DISTRICT LEADERS CONTINUING TO ELEVATE THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPREHENSIVE ENGLISH LEARNER SUPPORT SYSTEMS. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ROAD MAP. THIS IS A LONG-TERM PROCESS, -- SEEING THE ACTUAL EFFECTS OF IT. VARYING STAGES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION, REFLECTING A WIDE RANGE CAPACITY AND RESOURCES. PART OF THE PROGRAM YOU PUT WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOUR DISTRICT WAS. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY, BUT NOT ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE IN THE SAME PLACE. THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO LEARN. LONGTIME ENGLISH LEARNERS BEGIN TO REVEAL WHETHER A

[02:55:01]

>> THANK YOU, BOARD PRESIDENT. WHEN I WENT TO ABBE, IT WAS SO EXCITING TO SEE THE STAFF. BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD ONE. THE STAFF FROM -- AND THE STAFF FROM REDWOOD, IT WAS A GREAT COLLABORATION. THAT TELLS ME THAT OUR STAFF DOES WORK TOGETHER CLOSELY TOGETHER AND THEY WERE ENCOURAGING THE PRESIDENT AT THE TIME. ED WARDELL I THINK, RIGHT? WAS IT ED WARDELL THAT WAS AT REDWOOD? HE WAS SO NERVOUS. YOU GOT IT MADE. YOU HAVE A WHOLE TEAM HERE. THAT IS WHEN THE SCHOOL OPENED UP, SEEING THEY WERE TOGETHER. IT WAS A COLLABORATION. WHEN I GET TO EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF STUFF, THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. IT WARMS YOUR HEART WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR DISTRICT IS WORKING TOGETHER. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU ARE IN, YOU HELP WITH ANOTHER. THE CITY SIDE BY SIDE, THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER. THE STAFF, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE LITTLE SEPARATED, THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER. THEY MIGHT EVEN BE EMAILING EACH OTHER. THEY WILL SAY, IS IT ALMOST OVER YET? SEEING THE PRINCIPAL HERE, IT JUST WARMS MY HEART TO SEE THAT GROUP SITTING TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING OVER THERE. I DON'T KNOW. THEY MIGHT BE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

THIS STAFF IS WORKING ON WHAT THEY DO TOMORROW. OUR SECRETARY, SHE IS ALWAYS WORKING. I APPRECIATE THE STAFF HERE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO REPORT OTHER THAN MY COLLEAGUE AND I, WE SEE EACH OTHER WHAT? ALMOST TWO DAYS IN A ROW. WE WERE AT KAISER ENJOYING THE WOMEN EMPOWERMENT. I WILL SAY, I AM SO PROUD OF MY COLLEAGUE, DANIELLE. SHE RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM ASSEMBLY RAMOS. I AM SURE SHE WILL GIVE YOU THAT OPERATION -- INFORMATION. I HAD A GOOD LUNCH WITH HER MOM AND MY HUSBAND, OF COURSE, WHICH IS OUT IN THE AUDIENCE. SO TOGETHER WHEN YOU GO PLACES, PEOPLE RECOGNIZE YOU AND THEY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. BUT I THANK THEM FOR BEING IN OUR CITY AND DOING GOOD WORK. ALL OF YOU. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING GOOD, WHETHER WE AGREE OR DON'T AGREE. YOU ARE STILL DOING GOOD.

I APPRECIATE YOU FOR LIVING IN FONTANA. THANK YOU EVERYONE IN

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. >> I WILL KEEP MY COMMENTS RELATIVELY SHORT. I KNOW WE ALL WANT TO GO HOME. THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY TODAY, THAT WAS PHENOMENAL, OH MY GOSH. I GOT TO SEE MY FORMER KINDERGARTEN TEACHER. I WAS LIKE, WOW. I WAS THERE WITH BOARD PRESIDENT PEREZ AND BOARD MEMBER SERNA. I GOT TO SEE FAMILIAR FACES I HAVEN'T SEEN IN SO MANY YEARS. IT WAS A COOL FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME. I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO REPORT. AND IF I DO, I'M SORRY

I MISSED IT. >> AND LASTLY, MR. SERNA.

[03:00:03]

>> I JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU.

>> HOLLEY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS SANDOVAL, FOR THE ACCOLADES. UTZ ALSO GOT AN AWARD. EVERY YEAR, THEY WERE DOING WORK IN THE COMMUNITY AND I WAS HONORED TO RECEIVE THE WARD -- AWARD ALONGSIDE SANDOVAL. WE HAD A LUNCH THERE. I COULD GO DOWN THE LIST OF ALL THE EVENTS I ATTENDED THIS MONTH. I TRY TO MAKE IT TO AS MANY THINGS AS I CAN. I THINK THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MONTH, THERE WERE SO MANY AMAZING THINGS. I GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE READ ACROSS AMERICA ACTIVITIES. I GOT TO READ IN A COUPLE OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THAT JUST FILLED UP MY HEART. THEY ARE AMAZING. OH MY GOSH, SO MANY THINGS. WE WERE EVERYWHERE. SERVING ON A BOARD WITH FIVE OF US, WE KIND OF DIVIDE AND CONQUER. I LOVE THAT WE ALL SHOW UP FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF TO SUPPORT THE AMAZING WORK THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT. IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE OUR NEW CHIEF OVER THERE.

HE GOT TO ATTEND HIS SWEARING-IN, WHICH WAS SO AMAZING. THE PLACE WAS PACKED UP. THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE TYPE OF LEADER THAT YOU ARE. THANK YOU, WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU. I ALSO WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE. TWO BOARD MEMBERS -- MEETINGS AGO, I ASKED FOR AN AUDIT OF WHAT WAS DISPLAYED IN OUR CLASSROOMS. I WANT TO THANK OUR STAFF FOR MAKING SURE THE AUDIT WAS COMPLETE. WE CAN NOW SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM IN FONTANA UNIFIED HAS AN AMERICAN FLAG IN IT. I KNOW THIS IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF ALL OF US SHARING OUR DEDICATION TO CIVIC PRIDE AND NATIONAL IDENTITY THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US. EVERY SITE AS ASKED HAS COMPLETED THEIR INSPECTIONS.

THERE IS A FLAG. IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, IT WAS REPLACED.

THEY ARE FLYING PROBABLY IN OUR CLASSROOMS. ANY REPLACEMENT FLAGS THAT WERE NEEDED WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT BY APRIL 18TH. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY BASE IS COVERED.

MOVING FORWARD, WE'VE DECIDED THERE SHOULD BE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION TO MAKE SURE OUR FLAGS ARE THERE. SO THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION REPORT WILL BE DUE TO THE LEARNING AND TEACHING DEPARTMENT BY OCTOBER 1ST OF EVERY YEAR. ANY CLASSROOMS IN NEED OF A FLAG -- IF THEY ARE IN NEED OF A FLAG, WE WILL GET THAT IN THERE. THAT WAY THEY UPHOLD THIS IMPORTANT PRACTICE OF SOLIDIFYING OUR FLAG EVERY DAY.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR DAILY PATRIOTIC PRACTICES. I CONFIRMED WITH SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY THAT EACH SCHOOL HOLDS DAILY EXERCISES. THAT WAS ANOTHER REQUEST OF MINE. IT IS A LITTLE AMBIGUOUS IN OUR SECONDARY CLASSROOMS. I WOULD LOVE TO ENTERTAIN THE DISCUSSION OF JUST MAKING IT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE EVERY DAY IN EVERY CLASSROOM. THAT COULD BE A DISCUSSION FOR LATER. I AM CONFIRMING THAT THE PATRIOTIC PRACTICES ARE HAPPENING. AND I KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY DAY THEY ARE REMINDED OF OUR NATION'S CORE PRINCIPLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH CITIZENSHIP. I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR FLAGS THERE AND ACCOUNTABILITY THERE, AS WELL.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT. I HAD AN IDEA AND I COLLABORATED WITH THEM. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BE PRESENTING ON MAY 17 TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THE MAYOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR, PARKS AND REX -- I'M SORRY, PARKS AND HUMAN SERVICES IN MONTANA TO SHARE WHAT WE'VE BEEN, WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED, AND WHERE WE WILL BE HEADING IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS AND KEEPING OUR SUPPORTERS INFORMED AND ENGAGED WITH WHAT WE ARE DOING. WHILE CONDUCTING RESEARCH IMPACTING FOSTER YOUTH AND HOMELESS STUDENTS, HEARING BAKER'S NAME MENTIONED REPEATEDLY BY CITY OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. ALL OF THESE WERE THE MOST POSITIVE LIGHT. THE WORK BEING DONE IS GROUNDBREAKING. UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE EVER SEEN FOR IN THIS SPACE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE UPDATES. THE INNOVATION BEHIND THESE EFFORTS, I SEE A GOOD, GOLDEN BILL IN OUR FUTURE, AS WELL AS BEING A MODEL FOR THE STATE TO FOLLOW. THE PROCEDURES GOLDEN BELL AWARD TO MULTIPLE

[03:05:03]

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THAT TAKES US TO 7.2, BOARD MEMBER REQUEST FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEMS. TO ENSURE THE WORK OF THE SUPERINTENDENT IS FOCUSED ON STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT IN THE DISTRICTS VISIONS AND GOALS. THIS ITEM IS TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST ITEMS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION AT UPCOMING MEETINGS. ARE THERE ANY REQUESTS FOR MY COLLEAGUES FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEMS AT AN UPCOMING MEETING?

>> I HAVE ONE. I WILL MAKE IT REALLY QUICK. I EMAILED THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BODY ON THIS ONE. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF ACQUIRING SOME TYPE OF MAYBE A VOUCHER. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WOULD LOOK. I WILL LET THE SUPERINTENDENT. OUT -- AND THE ROTC FOR MAYBE GYM MEMBERSHIP? FOCUSING ON ATHLETICS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITIES WHERE MAYBE SOME HOUSEHOLDS CAN'T AFFORD THAT. SO MAYBE LOOKING INTO THE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING SOME KIND OF VOUCHER PROGRAM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR HOURS TO BE ABLE TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY IMPLICATIONS ON THAT. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR STAFF TO RESEARCH THAT AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING.

>> OKAY. MISS SANDOVAL? >> I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE SELECTED? I NOTICED THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THEM IN THE SAME GROUP. I KNOW I AM WORKING ON SOMEBODY, THE PERSON I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR, SHE'S A REALLY GOOD PARENT.

I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER PARENT THAT DOESN'T NORMALLY ATTEND THE BOARD MEETINGS. I WANT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. A LOT OF THE TIMES, THEY ARE HIDDEN JEWELS. THAT'S ONE THING I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON, HOW THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WAS SELECTED. AND THAT'S IT FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT,

EVERYBODY. I'M REALLY TIRED. >> MISS SANDOVAL, I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, -- WILL BE CONTACTING ALL OF US TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PERSON. IF WE WANT TO RECOMMEND SOMEBODY, AT LEAST ENSURE WE HAVE ONE PERSON FROM THE BOARD REPRESENTING.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE AND MAY HIS FAMILY STRIKE -- FIND STRENGTH. I'M SORRY. THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE THIS MEETING IN HIS MEMORY. CAN I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CLOSE THE MEETING?

>> A MOTION. I BELIEVE HE ALSO HAD A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WORKS FOR OUR DISTRICT. MAY THEIR FAMILY BE CONSOLED. THANK YOU.
