ELSASSER. THE THANK YOU.

THIS EVENING GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE YOU ARE THE ADVANTAGE AWARD TO A MEMBER OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND FACILITIES DEPARTMENT, GREG DOUGHERTY.

GREG, WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN ME AT THE LECTERN? THE U. R THE ADVANTAGE AWARD RECOGNIZES COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ORGANIZATIONS AND EMPLOYEES WHO DEMONSTRATE THE DISTRICT'S FOUR CORE VALUES OF EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY AND INNOVATION.

FOR THOSE THAT HAVE HAD THE HONOR OF KNOWING OR WORKING WITH GREG, YOU RECOGNIZE THESE VERY TRAITS IN HIS DAY TO DAY WORK AND DEMEANOR.

IN FACT, HE IS RECEIVING THE YOU ARE THE ADVANTAGE AWARD FOR CHANNELING ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED VALUES.

AS HE RECENTLY PERFORMED A REMARKABLE, HEROIC ACT.

HE SAVED A MAN'S LIFE ON ONE OF OUR SCHOOL CAMPUSES.

BEFORE I SHARE MORE, PLEASE ALLOW ME TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT GREG.

GREG FIRST JOINED OUR ORGANIZATION AS A SENIOR MAINTENANCE WORKER BACK IN 2020, WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL FLOORING AND PAINTING PROJECTS.

BUT HIS STORY IN USD DID NOT BEGIN THERE.

HE IS A PROUD GRADUATE OF VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL AND RESIDES LOCALLY AS A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY.

HE HAS THREE CHILDREN, ONE WHO HAS GRADUATED FROM VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL, AND TWO WHO WILL BE ATTENDING VAN BUREN ELEMENTARY NEXT YEAR.

HE AND HIS FIANCEE, JESSICA, ALSO HAPPEN TO BE GETTING MARRIED NEXT MONTH.

HE IS TASKED WITH PERFORMING ELECTRICAL PAINTING, PLUMBING AND CARPENTRY WORK TO ALTER, REPAIR AND SUPPORT THE NEW CONSTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENT AND STRUCTURES.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT GREG, DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE AND FACILITIES, BRAD RUNGE SHARES THAT HE IS A DEDICATED, HARDWORKING EMPLOYEE WHO GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT. HE IS A VALUABLE MEMBER OF THEIR DEPARTMENT AND COMPLETES HIS WORK WITH PRECISION AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

SO MUCH SO THAT MR. RUNGE WISHES HE COULD CLONE HIM.

SO ALL OF THIS IS WELL KNOWN TO HIS TEAMMATES AND MAINTENANCE AND FACILITIES.

HOWEVER, A LESSER KNOWN FACT ABOUT GREGG IS THAT HE HAS BEEN TRAINED IN CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS CPR.

THIS SKILL BECAME HIS MOST IMPORTANT ONE WHEN A VENDOR VISITING VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL'S CAMPUS IN MAY SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A HEART ATTACK AND SUBSEQUENT CARDIAC ARREST. AS THIS SITUATION UNFOLDED, VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL'S TEAM, AS WELL AS GREG AND OTHER DISTRICT EMPLOYEES IN THE AREA, QUICKLY SPRUNG INTO ACTION TO CALL 911 AND SUPPORT THE GENTLEMAN EXPERIENCING THE FRIGHTENING SYMPTOMS THAT COME ALONG WITH SUCH AN EPISODE.

BRAVELY, GREG VOLUNTEERED TO PERFORM CPR ON THE SPOT BEFORE THE EMTS TOOK OVER AND EVENTUALLY TRANSPORTED THE INDIVIDUAL TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL.

[00:15:07]

SO YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THE FOLLOWING SAYING FROM AMERICAN PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR STEVEN SULIK, HELP THE LIFE OF ONE PERSON AND YOU CAN HELP THE COMMUNITY.

GREG TOOK THIS QUOTE AND PUT IT INTO ACTION THROUGH HIS SELFLESS EFFORTS TO HELP THE MAN WHO EXPERIENCED A HEART ATTACK.

HE TRULY DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY AND INNOVATION AND PLAYED AN UNDENIABLE ROLE IN THE VENDOR HAVING A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE TODAY.

OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE IN MAINTENANCE FACILITIES, ARE PROUD TO CALL HIM A CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE AND COLLEAGUE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, AND ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IT IS OUR HONOR TO PRESENT SENIOR MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN MR. GREG DOUGHERTY WITH THE YOU ARE THE ADVANTAGE AWARD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO EXUDE EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY AND INNOVATION AS YOU SAVED A LIFE ON OUR CAMPUS.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU, SIR.

SO THIS EVENING ALSO GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE YOU ARE THE ADVANTAGE AWARD TO SUPERINTENDENT DR.

JIM ELSASSER.

AND HE WAS SURPRISED BY THIS WHEN I THINK THE FINAL PRINTING OF THE BOOK WAS WAS PUT OUT AND HE SAW HIS HIS NAME LISTED THERE.

SO PRIOR TO YOUR LAST DAY HERE ON JUNE 30TH, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND AND RECOGNIZE YOU.

AS WAS SHARED EARLIER THE YOU ARE THE ADVANTAGE AWARD IS THE DISTRICT HIGHEST DISTINCTION BESTOWED UPON COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ORGANIZATIONS AND EMPLOYEES WHO EMBODY THE DISTRICT FOUR CORE VALUES OF EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY AND INNOVATION.

DR. ELSASSER IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS DECREE AS HE LIVED OUT EACH OF THESE VALUES SINCE THE MOMENT HE TOOK THE HELM OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

DR. ELSASSER FIRST ASSUMED THE ROLE OF SUPERINTENDENT BACK IN JANUARY 2021, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, AND WITH STUDENTS IN A HYBRID LEARNING MODEL ONLY COMING TO CAMPUS TWO DAYS IN, TWO DAYS A WEEK IN MOST CASES, HE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING UPON HIS START, HAVING MET WITH DOZENS OF PEER USED STAKEHOLDERS AHEAD OF TIME, CALLING THIS THE LISTEN AND LEARN TOUR.

HIS GOAL WAS TO MEAN WAS TO GAIN AN INTIMATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY AND UNIQUE CULTURE IN AN EFFORT TO SET HIS VISION AND GOALS IN HIS FIRST YEAR.

IN PARTICULAR, HE TOOK TIME TO GET TO KNOW OUR OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF ADMINISTRATORS WHO IN TURN PROVIDED HIM WITH AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DISTRICT'S HISTORY. HE ALSO TOURED CAMPUSES, LOOKED AT PROGRAMS AND LOOKED FOR AREAS OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH FOR THE AND THE END LOOKED AT THE

[00:20:08]

AFTER JUST THREE MONTHS IN HIS LEADERSHIP, UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP, OUR DISTRICT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY SHIFT FROM OUR LEARNING MODALITY FROM HYBRID AND TO FULL TIME IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS IN APRIL 2021.

HE PAVED THE WAY FOR PI LAUSD TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN ORANGE COUNTY TO DO SO, WHILE OTHERS CHOSE TO WAIT UNTIL FALL OF 2021 TO MAKE SOME OF THE SAME CHANGES.

SOME OF THE OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS THAT DR.

ELSASSER HAS HAD WHILE HE IS HERE INCLUDE MAKING HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN STUDENT WELLNESS THROUGH ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS AND THE DISTRICT'S NOTICED, NEEDED AND NURTURED CAMPAIGN. HE LED THE EFFORT TO REFINANCE OUR BONDS TO SAVE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX PAYERS APPROXIMATELY $71.5 MILLION.

HE OVERSAW THE DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMIES TO BUILD CAPACITY, AND OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS, TEACHERS AND CLASSIFIED STAFF PLACED OUR SCHOOLS ON VARIOUS AWARD ROSTERS SUCH AS CALIFORNIA DISTINGUISHED SCHOOLS, CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS TO WATCH CALIFORNIA PIVOTAL PRACTICE AWARD AND THE MODEL CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL.

HE SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED CONTRACT AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH OF OUR EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION AND ESTABLISHED THE THE DISTRICT'S CLASSIFIED ADVISORY GROUP, ACCESS AND INCLUSION COMMITTEE AND MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL.

EXCUSE ME. MIDDLE SCHOOL.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS.

ALSO THE HEART AND SOUL EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM AND CLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE CREDENTIAL PROGRAM DIRECTED THE MODERNIZATION OF MANY DISTRICT FACILITIES, INCLUDING OUR ENTIRE CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT YOU ALL WILL SEE NEXT YEAR WHEN YOU COME TO CLASS, WHICH WILL BE AMAZING AND SO MUCH MORE.

ALL THE WHILE, HE SERVED AS A DEDICATED STUART TO OUR STEWARD OF OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT THROUGH BOTH UPS AND DOWNS AND ALWAYS WITH STUDENTS AT THE FOREFRONT OF HIS MIND.

WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO DR.

SASSER FOR SHARING HIS ENERGY AND TALENT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF ALL OF US HERE IN PI USD.

DURING YOUR SUPERINTENDENCY.

IS STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE, CARING AND COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT, DEDICATION TO INTEGRITY AND OVERALL INNOVATIVE NATURE WILL FOREVER MAKE HIM AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PI USD ADVANTAGE.

IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH A QUOTE FROM AMERICAN AUTHOR, SPEAKER AND LEADERSHIP EXPERT JOHN C MAXWELL.

A LEADER IS ONE WHO KNOWS THE WAY GOES THE WAY AND SHOWS THE WAY.

DR. ELSASSER, THANK YOU FOR KNOWING THE WAY, GOING THE WAY AND SHOWING THE WAY THROUGH YOUR THOUGHTFUL AND DEDICATED LEADERSHIP OF OUR STUDENTS, STAFF, FAMILIES AND ENTIRE COMMUNITY. YOU ALWAYS DID SO WITH AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, COLLABORATION, INTEGRITY AND INNOVATION.

AND CLAREMONT UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS FORTUNATE TO BE GAINING SUCH A TALENTED LEADER ONCE AGAIN.

THANK YOU. AND I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING AS WELL.

UM. YES.

IN THE EARLY DAYS UPON YOUR ARRIVAL.

AND I SAY EARLY DAYS.

I DON'T MEAN THE VERY FIRST DAYS, BUT AS THOSE WEEKS WENT ON.

AS I WOULD BE OUT AND ABOUT, I WOULD RUN INTO PEOPLE WHO WOULD COME UP AND SAY, EMPLOYEES WOULD SAY, YOU MADE A REALLY GOOD CHOICE.

BECAUSE IT WAS BECOMING EVIDENT QUITE EARLY ON WHAT YOU WERE BRINGING TO THE DISTRICT.

WHAT I.

NOT ONLY A PROFESSIONAL ABILITIES, BUT YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH, YOUR SENSITIVITY, YOUR CARING.

ONE THING I REMEMBER IF I'M NOT REVEALING TOO MUCH, BUT THAT YOU WOULD DO FIVE CARDS EACH WEEK OUT TO PEOPLE THAT YOU HAD INTERACTED WITH TO EXPRESS SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT THEY DID AND WHAT YOU APPRECIATED ABOUT.

TO ME, THAT THAT SPOKE VOLUMES OF PRIORITIES.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU MUST DO.

BUT THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THAT TIME AND MAKE TIME FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL ONE ON ONE CONTACTS I THOUGHT WAS VERY REVEALING ABOUT YOU. THE DEDICATION THAT YOU SHOWED DURING THE TIMES THAT WE ALL TRAVEL THROUGH IN THOSE.

VERY, VERY.

EXHAUSTING DAYS AND WEEKS AND THEN MONTHS AND STRETCHING LONGER OF THE THE UPS AND DOWNS OF COVID AND WHAT THAT TRANSLATED TO BE IN TERMS OF THE DAY TO DAY FOR STUDENTS, PARENTS, COMMUNITY, ETC..

YOU WERE SO FAITHFUL TO THAT PROCESS.

YOU WERE ALWAYS IN THOSE FRIDAY MEETINGS WITH WHETHER IT WAS DR.

[00:25:02]

YOU MODELED EVERYTHING THAT I THINK IS THE IDEAL FOR A LEADER IN YOUR POSITION TO CONSTANTLY BE WATCHING, LEARNING, CONTRIBUTING, OF COURSE, BACK TO THE OTHERS, TO SEE THAT WE COULD DO WHAT THE BEST WE COULD DO IN OUR DISTRICT WITH WHAT WE HAD TO TO MAKE DECISIONS ON AND.

YOU WILL BE MISSED.

I'VE TOLD YOU THAT SO MANY TIMES ALREADY.

I KNOW THAT THE SKILLS THAT YOU HAVE THAT I SAW IN YOU DURING THE INTERVIEWS WHEN YOU WERE SELECTED, YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THOSE SKILLS AND YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE ON MAKING WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES.

STUDENTS WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR LEADERSHIP? EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND AS YOU KNOW, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

WELL, DR. ELSASSER, I MUST SAY THAT YOU DEFINITELY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WHEN YOU GOT BROUGHT ON HERE.

AND I WAS SO APPRECIATIVE THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO GUIDE AND HELP HELP NAVIGATE A YOUNG BOARD, ESPECIALLY IN THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

I ENJOYED YOUR COMMUNICATION.

I APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD TAKE TIME AND EXPLAIN THINGS THAT WERE DEFINITELY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND.

SO IN.

IN THAT ASPECT, I.

I THINK YOU ARE A VERY FOUNDATIONAL PERSON FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND.

AND I'M KIND OF JEALOUS THAT CLERMONT IS GOING TO GET YOU BACK, BUT I KNOW YOU WILL DO SOME WONDERFUL THINGS THERE AS YOU'VE DONE HERE, AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

WELL, I AM NOT JEALOUS THEY'RE GETTING YOU BACK.

I'M UPSET. I'M GOING TO BE HONEST.

I SAID A LITTLE BIT LAST BOARD MEETING AND IT STILL STANDS.

I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFULNESS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.

YOU TREATED YOUR EMPLOYEES, TEACHERS, STAFF, EVERYBODY.

THE STUDENTS WOULD JUST.

AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF RESPECT.

BUT NOT NOT ONLY THAT, YOU GENUINELY, GENUINELY KNEW THAT YOU CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.

AND HE WAS YOU KNOW, I TALK A LOT.

SO THERE WAS A LOT OF PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND LONG PHONE CONVERSATIONS.

AND SOMETIMES HE MIGHT SEND ME A TEXT AND HE WOULD GET A MEME OF LIKE THE FRIENDS, PEOPLE JUMPING OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND HE WAS JUST VERY HE JUST LIKE KIND OF JUST EMBRACED ME.

AND WE HAD, I THINK, A GOOD LIKE A FUN WORKING RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE SOMETIMES I DON'T DO THE FORMAL STUFF VERY WELL AND HE JUST KIND OF ROLLED WITH ME. BUT I DO I THINK CLAREMONT IS, YOU KNOW, I AM I'M JEALOUS AT CLAREMONT IS GETTING YOU BACK AND I JUST THINK THAT YOU YOU DID YOU HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AND IF WE LOOK AT THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND ALL THAT'S BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PANDEMIC AND JUST EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF HARD WORK, BUT IT WAS UNDER A.

IT WAS JUST UNDER YOUR YOUR GUIDANCE AND YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CONSIDERED EVERYTHING.

AND YOU'RE SO JUST RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE HERE.

AND YOU TRULY, TRULY CARED ABOUT THE PARENTS.

AND I KNOW SOMETIMES SITTING UP HERE WHEN YOU CAN'T RESPOND TO COMMENTS AND YOU CAN'T RESPOND TO THINGS.

YOU KNOW, WE WE CARED AND WE REALLY KNEW THAT YOU CARED EVEN IF PEOPLE DIDN'T QUITE THINK THAT YOU CARED.

SO I JUST WISH YOU WELL.

AND I HOPE WE SEE YOU AROUND TOWN.

AND IF YOU DON'T ANSWER YOUR PHONE, THEN WE'LL BLOW UP YOUR PHONE AND MAYBE EVEN TO MAYBE GO VISIT YOUR BOARD MEETING AND IN SOME DIFFERENT COLORED SHIRTS SO YOU CAN REMINISCE ABOUT YOUR TIME HERE, BUT YOU WILL BE MISSED.

DR. ELSASSER, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR TIME AND COMMITMENT TO POWELL'S USED.

I WITNESSED PERSONALLY HOW MUCH TIME, CARE AND HEART YOU GAVE TO OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF.

AND THIS WAS REALLY EVIDENT TO ME AT THE DISTRICT VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION NIGHT.

UM. AT THAT NIGHT, EACH PRINCIPAL GETS UP AND RECOGNIZES A CERTAIN VOLUNTEER, AND THEN THEY COME AND SHAKE EVERYONE'S HANDS.

AND WHAT WAS SO.

EVIDENT THAT NIGHT IS EACH PRINCIPAL CAME OVER AND GAVE YOU A HUG.

AND I THINK THOSE HUGS SPEAK VOLUMES TO NOT ONLY WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON, BUT ALSO WHO YOU ARE AS AN ADMINISTRATOR.

[00:30:06]

AND CLAREMONT STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE MISSED HERE.

I JUST THINK OF HOW KIND AND AND.

ACCEPTING AND JUST THE ABILITY FOR YOU TO COME IN AND AND LEAD US IN A IN A DIFFICULT TIME.

I THINK YOU WERE THE PERFECT PERSON FOR THE TIME, AND I WISH YOU WERE STAYING AROUND.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT US AND YOU'VE ESTABLISHED AND WE'RE GOING TO BUILD FROM THERE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND WE HAVE THIS AWARD FOR YOU.

WE'D LOVE TO SHAKE YOUR HAND AND GET A PHONE.

USUALLY THESE ARE LIKE THE FUNNEST PART, BUT NOW THIS KIND OF SAD.

[STUDENT BOARD REPORT]

AND QUINN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE SCHOOLS? OKAY. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BUCK, TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

ALSACE ELSASSER AND EXECUTIVE CABINET MEMBERS.

I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE FOR THE FINAL TIME TONIGHT TO SHARE RECENT HAPPENINGS FROM OUR COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS AND ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS.

ON JUNE 2ND, BUENA VISTA VIRTUAL ACADEMY STUDENTS AND PARENTS VISITED THE IRVINE REGIONAL PARK AND ZOO.

STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE PLAYED TOGETHER AND LEARNED ABOUT ANIMALS.

THEY EVEN GOT TO PET SOME.

AND THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST SCHOOL FIELD TRIP AND BUS RIDE FOR SOME OF THESE SCHOOL STUDENTS THIS WEEK.

BEFORE SUMMER SCHOOL, A SMALL TEAM FROM EL CAMINO REAL WILL BE ATTENDING A CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE, TO LEARN MORE WAYS TO SUPPORT STUDENT AND STAFF WELLNESS. EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL WAS PROUD TO CELEBRATE THE CLASS OF 2022, WITH A WEEK OF EVENTS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE ANNUAL SENIOR SUNSET DRIVE IN MOVIE, HUNDREDS OF GOLDEN HAWKS WATCHED HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THREE ON A 20 FOOT BLOWUP SCREEN AND SANG WITH EACH OTHER, TOOK PHOTOS AND ENJOYED WATCHING THE SUNSET ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER.

AND THAT'S THE ONE WHERE THEY ALL GRADUATE.

I JUST LEARNED THAT ONE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM.

ESPERANZA OH.

PRIOR TO SUMMER, ALL OF THE PEOPLE USED AS BEES CAME TOGETHER FOR A LEADERSHIP CAMP AT VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL.

THE GOAL WAS FOR THE PROGRAMS, INCLUDING ESPERANZA, TO NETWORK BEFORE EVERYONE BREAKS FOR THE SUMMER.

VENTURA ACADEMY AND GEORGE KEYES SCHOOL CELEBRATED THEIR CLASS OF 2022 GRADUATES IN CEREMONIES ON JUNE 9TH AND 10TH.

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, VENTURA ACADEMY'S CEREMONY FEATURED A PERFORMANCE BY THE SCHOOL'S VERY OWN CHOIR.

FOR MANY MONTHS, STUDENTS WORKED HARD TO FINE TUNE THEIR SINGING SKILLS.

IN PREPARATION FOR THE CEREMONY, THEY EVEN RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION.

THE PARKVIEW SCHOOL HELD ITS 2022 GRADUATION AND PROMOTION ON MONDAY, JUNE 13, AT THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

THE SCHOOL AWARDED 31 STUDENTS WITH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS.

THREE STUDENTS EVEN RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS AFTER COMPLETING THEIR REQUIREMENTS EARLY AS JUNIORS.

AND THEN VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL'S PTSA HAS AN ANNUAL TRADITION OF RECOGNIZING STUDENT MEMBERS WITH SCHOLARSHIPS.

THIS YEAR, THE SCHOOL WAS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE 16 OUTSTANDING SENIORS WHO HAVE SHOWN REAL DEDICATION TO THE SCHOOL SPIRIT AND SERVICE.

THEY EMBODY THE CHARACTER TRAITS AND VALUES THAT VALENCIA HOPES TO INSTILL IN EVERY STUDENT.

WAY TO GO, TIGERS AND YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL HELD ITS 2022 COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY ON JUNE 15, WHERE 460 MUSTANGS WERE GRANTED THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS.

REMARKABLY, 95% OF THOSE SENIORS HAVE ENROLLED TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION IN TWO OR FOUR YEAR COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES FOLLOWING GRADUATION.

WELL, THANK YOU, QUINN.

AND NOW THAT THIS IS YOUR LAST MEETING AS A STUDENT BOARD MEMBER AND IT'S COMING TO AN END, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY? JUST KIND OF LIKE THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY, I WOULD SAY IS I THINK IN THE BEGINNING YOU ASKED ME WHAT I HOPED TO GAIN FROM THIS POSITION, AND I SAID I WANT IT TO BE INTRODUCED

[00:35:08]

BUT IN THIS POSITION YOU DEAL WITH LIKE PARENTS AND OLDER, OLDER PEOPLE, NOT OLD PEOPLE CHOOSING YOUR WORDS. AND IT JUST KIND OF TAUGHT ME TO LIKE TO NOT BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF AND FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND JUST TO AND IT MADE MORE CONNECTIONS, REALLY.

LIKE BEFORE EVEN MY JUNIOR YEAR, I WOULDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE BOARD WAS.

I WAS INVITED TO ONE MEETING BECAUSE OF OUR CIF CHAMPIONSHIP A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD A SUPERINTENDENT.

LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS.

BUT I WILL SAY, LIKE WHAT EVERYONE WAS SAYING ABOUT DR.

ELSASSER, IT'S REALLY TRUE, BECAUSE ONCE YOU STEPPED IN THE POSITION, I WAS LIKE, OH, THERE'S A SUPERINTENDENT AND I LIKE KNEW YOUR NAME.

AND SO WHENEVER I SAW YOU ON CAMPUS, I WOULD SAY HI.

AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE POSITIONS I WAS IN, WE WOULD SEE EACH OTHER MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR AND BEING IN THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL, JUST LIKE SEEING PEOPLE'S FACES EVERYWHERE AND RECOGNIZING THEM, IT WAS REALLY NICE.

LIKE MRS. BLADES GAVE ME MY DIPLOMA AND DR.

EL SASTRE. I GAVE HIM A HUG AFTER WALKING AND LIKE RECEIVING MY DIPLOMA.

SO IT WAS IT'S AN EXPERIENCE THAT THAT NO ONE ELSE REALLY GETS BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE SITTING UP HERE AND IT'S COOL BECAUSE THE LIKE, MY GRADUATION WAS SO MUCH MORE PERSONALIZED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE STANDING BEHIND ME, I KNEW THEM AND LIKE I HAD A CONNECTION TO THEM.

SO THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH, IT'S A COOL EXPERIENCE.

SO WHAT WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS? IT'S REALLY IT'S VERY INTIMIDATING SITTING UP HERE KNOWING THAT THERE'S CAMERAS EVERYWHERE AND PARENTS ARE WATCHING YOU AND EVERYONE'S JUST LIKE LOOKING AT YOU WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING. I'M GETTING USED TO IT LIKE I GAVE A COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT GRADUATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING I DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER DONE IF I WASN'T.

I DIDN'T HAVE THIS POSITION UP HERE BEING USED TO SPEAKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE LARGER CROWDS NOW, LIKE, I JUST DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER SPEAK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE AT GRADUATION. BUT THE BIGGEST THING I COULD JUST SAY IS, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS OR TO GET CLARIFICATION.

DEFINITELY THE FIRST TIME YOU CAN SIT BACK AND WATCH AND KIND OF FIGURE IT OUT.

BUT AFTER THAT IT'S LIKE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE HERE ON THE BOARD TO DO AND THAT'S THE BEST WAY YOU CAN DO IT, IS TO VOICE YOUR OPINIONS.

OKAY, WELL, YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB AND WE ARE.

THIS IS YOUR LAST BOARD MEETING.

YES. SO WE HAVE AN AWARD FOR YOU AS WELL TO RECOGNIZE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE THIS WITH YOU AND PUT IT ON YOUR DESK AT SCHOOL AND REMEMBER YOUR LEADERSHIP. AND WHEN YOU'RE DOUBTING, YOU CAN DO IT.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS AND REMEMBER THAT THAT YOU CAN, THAT WE'RE ALL HERE SUPPORTING YOU.

AND IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO.

ABSOLUTELY, PLEASE DO.

AT THE GRADUATION, YOUR SPEECH WAS AMAZING.

AND THE WHOLE LINE OF US WANTED TO, LIKE, STAND UP AND CLAP AND SAY, GO QUICK.

BUT WE COULDN'T, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO STAY SEATED.

BUT WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF YOU AND JUST REALLY PROUD OF THE WORDS YOU SPOKE AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU GAVE TO ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

LIKE, WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD AND IT WAS GREAT GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

AND I LOVED WHEN I WAS PICKING UP PEOPLE FROM ESPERANZA AND I RUN INTO YOU.

AND SO YOU'RE RIGHT. IT WAS GREAT.

IT WAS A GREAT TIME. AND I JUST WISH YOU THE BEST IN WHATEVER YOU DO.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE AMAZING.

THANK YOU. I WOULD HAVE TO ALSO SECOND THAT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH WITH YOU AT YOUR AWARD CEREMONY. CONGRATULATION ON YOUR AWARD.

THANK YOU. YOUR SPIRIT AWARD.

THAT WAS A WELL DESERVED AND WHAT TRULY AMAZING SENIORS THAT THAT GO TO ESPERANZA JUST JUST INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK AND EFFORT AND YOU KNOW JUGGLING IT WAS IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SPEECH. AS I AS I SAID, IT DOES TAKE A CERTAIN TYPE OF.

TENACITY, YOU KNOW, JUST TO BE UP THERE AND ACTUALLY DELIVER A SPEECH IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

SO YOU DID AN AMAZING, AMAZING JOB.

I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO AMAZING IN YOUR ENDEAVORS, BUT I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING YOU.

YOU JUST BLOOM AND, UH, AND DO EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO.

SO CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

THANKS. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, QUINN, FOR REPRESENTING OUR STUDENTS THIS SEMESTER.

YOU CAME INTO THIS BOARD DURING A VERY CONTENTIOUS.

TIME WITH EXTREMELY LONG MEETINGS.

[00:40:02]

EVEN THOUGH WHEN HALF OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM DISAGREED WITH YOU, YOU SPOKE UP AND SHARED WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND TO YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK THAT IS GOING TO HELP YOU TREMENDOUSLY IN YOUR LIFE, AND THAT SPEAKS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON AND AND ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF.

AND SO BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE AND COME BACK AND VISIT US AND LET US KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING.

THANK YOU. THAT ON SOME REALLY GOOD POINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE AS YOUR YOUR.

YOUR CHARACTER, YOUR LEADERSHIP TRAITS.

TO ME, YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF A STUDENT LEADER.

NOT ONLY, AS YOU SAID, HAVE YOU BEEN SO INVOLVED THERE AT ESPERANZA, BUT BUT WHEN GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY, YOU'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL BY AS YOU SAID, IT'S VERY DAUNTING TO TO THEN BE WITH PEOPLE OF A DIFFERENT AGE BRACKET THAN YOU ARE.

AND AND OFTEN THEY COME WITH DIFFERENT OPINIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A DIFFERENT AGE BRACKET.

THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS THAT THAT YOU ENCOUNTER THOSE DIFFERENCES.

TRULY, YOU DID COME IN AT A VERY INTERESTING TIME IN BOARD HISTORY, AND I'VE BEEN EVER SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WILLINGNESS TO CERTAINLY PAY FULL ATTENTION.

AND AS YOU'VE ALREADY SAID, YOU WERE ALWAYS WILLING TO ASK THE QUESTIONS AND SO FORTH AND STATE YOUR OPINIONS.

YOU'RE SO ATTENTIVE, SO THOROUGH AND.

IN TIMES WHEN I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WOULD SORT OF SAY, MAYBE I'LL LEAVE NOW BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME VERY LENGTHY MEETINGS.

YOU WOULD REMAIN.

AND TO ME, THAT ALSO DEMONSTRATED YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE ROLE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SERVING IN.

AND SO, LIKE EVERYONE, I'M SO EXCITED FOR WHAT YOUR NEXT STEPS WILL BE AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

AND WE ALWAYS SAY THIS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE GET RESULTS.

BUT YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR.

JUST IF YOU CAN, JUST A QUICK LITTLE EMAIL, MAYBE TULSA OR SOMETHING, AND JUST LET US KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE WE'VE REALLY ENJOYED HAVING YOU AS ONE OF OUR TEAM.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU.

THANK YOU. AND WE'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THIS AND TAKE A PICTURE AS WELL. I KNOW.

I JUST FOUND IT.

OKAY. SO THAT BRINGS US NEXT TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT AND DR.

[SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT]

WELL, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, PRESIDENT BUCK.

TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE CABINET MEMBERS.

LAST WEEK WE WRAPPED UP THE END OF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR.

NEARLY 2000 OF OUR STUDENTS GRADUATED FROM OUR COMPREHENSIVE AND ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOLS AND ADULT TRANSITION PROGRAM.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF IT.

I WISH ALL OF YOU AND OUR NEXT SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

MICHAEL MATTHEWS, ALL THE VERY BEST NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND BEYOND.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU, DR. ELSASSER.

[COMMUNICATIONS AND BOARD REPORT ]

MRS. FREEMAN, IF YOU'D LIKE TO START FIRST, WE'LL JUST WORK OUR WAY UP.

TURN IT BACK ON. WE DIDN'T DO A REPORT AT OUR JUNE 7TH MEETING, SO WE REALLY HAD A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM ALL BECAUSE I KNOW WE WANT TO LIMIT OUR TIME ALSO AS TO HOW LONG WE SPEAK.

BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T THINK ANYONE REPORTED ON IT CORRECT ME BY A SHOW OF HANDS, BUT THE FIRST RESPONDER BREAKFAST THAT WE HAD WITH PLACENTIA WAS GREAT.

IT WAS SUCH A POSITIVE MORNING AND OF COURSE, BEING WHAT IT WAS HONORING THOSE WHO RESPOND WHEN WE NEED THEM, WHETHER IT'S FIRE, THE AMBULANCE SERVICE, THE POLICE WHOM I LEAVING OUT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WAS AT THOSE.

THE EMTS. YES.

THANK YOU. BUT THAT WAS A REALLY, REALLY NICE EVENT.

I WON'T GO INTO IT BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT TO IT.

BUT THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY THAT BOTH MRS. BECK AND I ATTENDED IN SACRAMENTO.

IT WAS REALLY NICE TO BE BACK DOING THAT.

AT THAT POINT IN THE YEAR, USUALLY WE HAVE ONE IN MAY, BUT BECAUSE COVID HAS INTERRUPTED SO MUCH IN OUR LIVES, THROUGHOUT, EVERYWHERE, IT SEEMS IT WAS NICE TO BE BACK TOGETHER AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR FROM ONE ANOTHER AND UPDATE AND AND SO FORTH.

BUT I WON'T GO INTO ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WERE HANDLED.

THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY SENIOR AWARDS.

I KNOW WE'VE TOUCHED ON THAT, I THINK, BEFORE, BUT THERE'S BEEN ONE I WAS THAT WAS YORBA LINDA HIGH'S SENIOR AWARDS.

ESPERANZA. ESPERANZA IS DISTINGUISHED SCHOLARS, AND THEY AS THEY CUSTOMARILY DO, THEY HAD A FORMER STUDENT, A GRADUATE, COME IN AND SPEAK AND USHER, BUT A BUDGET CARRIER.

HER REMARKS WERE GREAT.

SO APROPOS, AS I USUALLY ARE, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT THAT FAR REMOVED FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL, BUT HAS STILL GONE THROUGH COLLEGE AND

[00:50:03]

AND ALSO, I LOVE THE SENIOR SIX WORD BIOGRAPHIES.

THOSE WERE THOSE WERE CHOICE, THE MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY THAT VALENCIA HAS.

THAT IS A LONG HELD TRADITION.

AND THAT WAS WONDERFUL.

THE SPEAKER WAS SOMEBODY THAT MANY PEOPLE RECOGNIZE, AND THAT WAS PAUL BERMAN.

PAUL HAS BEEN A TEACHER IN THE DISTRICT IN THE PAST.

HE'S NOW BACK AT VALENCIA AS A SUB.

AND BUT HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE MILITARY CERTAINLY GAVE HIM A AN EXCELLENT POINT OF REFERENCE, AS WELL AS THE RESEARCH THAT YOU COULD TELL HE PUT INTO WHAT HE SHARED WITH EVERYONE THAT DAY.

AND THE ESPERANZA AIR FORCE ROTC HONOR GUARD WAS THERE AS THEY ARE VERY PRESENT AT MANY EVENTS NOWADAYS. THEY DID THE THE PRESENTATION OF THE COLORS.

ALSO, EL DORADO SENIOR AWARDS AGAIN SHOWCASE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF SO MANY OF OUR STUDENTS.

I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT BRYANT RANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GOING THROUGH MANY OF THE CLASSROOMS. I HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE THE REHEARSAL OF THE FIRST GRADERS.

THEY WERE GETTING READY FOR AN ASSEMBLY LATER THAT DAY.

ALSO OF I WAS REALLY, REALLY INTERESTED IN THE POINT AT WHICH THEY'RE RIGHT NOW PUTTING TOGETHER WITH THE HELP OF THE FIFTH GRADE TEACHER, MRS. MCLAIN, THE TINKER LAB.

AND THIS WILL OCCUPY A REALLY GOOD SIZED SPACE THERE ON THE CAMPUS, AND IT WILL BE ABLE TO OR SHE WILL AND OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE STUDENTS IN THERE AND DO SO MUCH EXPLORING SCIENCE THROUGH STEM THINGS THAT EXPERIMENTS, WHATEVER THAT THAT THEY WILL CREATE.

THEY ALREADY HAVE QUITE A FEW SUPPLIES THAT ARE ACCUMULATING AND THEY IT'S IT'S JUST EXCITING TO BE THERE.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE IT IN ACTION.

WE'VE ALL BEEN TO GRADUATIONS.

VENTURE ACADEMY WAS MENTIONED.

THE CHOIR WAS SUPERB.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY DID THAT.

AND I THINK FOR MOST OF US IT WAS GET THE TISSUE OUT BECAUSE IT WAS JUST PERFECT.

IT WAS SO GOOD. IT WAS JUST AMAZING.

I WAS AT PARKVIEW BOTH FOR THEIR HIGH SCHOOL AND THEIR EIGHTH GRADE PROMOTION, EL CAMINOS GRADUATION.

I WAS AT THE LEVEL UP PROMOTION FOR FIFTH GRADERS AT BRYANT RANCH.

EL DORADO IS GRADUATION, YORBA LINDA MIDDLE PROMOTION, AND THEN VALENCIA'S GRADUATION, WHICH OF COURSE, IS ALWAYS SUCH A TRADITIONAL. CEREMONY.

EACH EACH HIGH SCHOOL HAS ITS CUSTOMS AND ITS TRADITIONS, AND IT'S ALWAYS ENJOYABLE.

AND AS SOMEONE SAID, I REALLY DO WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS WHATEVER ROLE IN MAKING SURE GRADUATIONS HAPPEN, WHETHER IT'S THE STUDENT WHO MAKES SURE TO BE THERE AND LINED UP ON TIME WITH CAP AND GOWN, WHETHER IT'S THOSE WHO WERE WITH THE STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL ARE ALL LINED UP TO EVERYONE WHO'S THERE TO SEE THAT THAT THE WHOLE VENUE IS READY TO HAVE THAT THAT EVENT GO FORWARD.

NORTH ORANGE COUNTY REP.

WE HAVE A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

SADLY, OUR SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

JOE MARINO, TERRY MARINO, WHO LIVES IN OUR DISTRICT AND HER STUDENTS GRADUATED IN OUR DISTRICT.

SHE HAS ACCEPTED A POSITION WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY BOARD.

WITH A COUNTY BOARD.

OUR. WHATEVER I WANT TO SAY.

NOT WITH IT. YES, YES, YES.

THANK YOU. SORRY.

LOOKING FOR WORDS THERE, BUT SHE IS VERY HAPPY TO MAKE THAT MOVE.

SAD, OF COURSE. AND WE'RE VERY SAD.

BUT WE AS A BOARD OF SEVEN TRUSTEES IN THE SHOP, WE DID OUR INTERVIEWS OF OUR INTERNAL CANDIDATE, WHO, AFTER A VERY RIGOROUS DAY OF INTERVIEWS, HE WAS SUCCESSFULLY SELECTED BY THE SEVEN OF US UNANIMOUSLY.

AND THAT'S OUR CURRENT.

WELL, HE'S NOW SITTING AS SUPERINTENDENT, BUT HE HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS OUR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, AND THAT'S DANA LYNCH.

AND SO HE ASSUMED THAT JOB AS OF JUNE 9TH.

SO HE'S JUST NEW IN THAT POSITION.

AND THEN LASTLY, THERE WERE FOUR OF US WHO WERE ABLE TO BE AT THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR THE NEW CHURCH OR THE NEW TEMPLE, RATHER, THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT VERY SOON FOR THE LATTER DAY SAINTS LOCATION ON BASS CENTURY.

AS YOU GET CLOSE TO IMPERIAL, THERE FORMERLY HAS BEEN A STAKE, A CHURCH OF THEIRS LOCATED THERE.

BUT THAT'S NOW GONE.

[00:55:01]

EVENT AND MEANINGFUL TO HAVE A TEMPLE FOR THEIR FAITH.

BUT ALSO OUR COUNTY I GUESS WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY THAT HAS TO TEMPLES IN THIS COUNTY, WHICH IS NOT THE NORM AT ALL.

AND SO THERE'S ONE IN NEWPORT, AND WHEN THEY COMPLETE THIS ONE, IT WILL THEN BE THE SECOND.

AND AGAIN, UNIQUE TO THAT FACT.

BUT IT WAS A REALLY NICE DAY AND IT'S VERY NICE TO BE THERE AND IT WAS VERY NICE TO BE INVITED.

AND I THINK WE'LL STOP RIGHT THERE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR.

NO WORRIES FOR MY BOARD REPORT.

I'D FIRST LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE EVENT THAT I WENT TO THE CELEBRATION OF A LIFE EVENT.

THIS WAS LOCATED AT ONE OF OUR LOCAL PARKS IN WHICH MS..

TRUSTEE ANDERSON HELPED ORGANIZE, ALONG WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED LOT 318.

AWESOME, AWESOME TIME.

THERE WAS A AN IN MS. BOOK, OF COURSE, AWESOME TIME.

THERE WERE SEVERAL BOOTHS SET UP THAT HAD COMMUNITY INFORMATION AS WELL AS EVEN SOME DIGNITARIES DROP BY, WHICH WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE.

SO HAD A GREAT TIME THERE AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE INVITE.

ALSO, I WAS HONORED TO BE AT THE ESPERANZA GRADUATION, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO GIVE A COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AND TO CONFER THE CLASS.

AMAZING. JUST AMAZING.

SET UP THE THE STAFF AND ALL OF THE THE LORNE'S PEOPLE, THEY WERE THEY WERE TRULY ON THEIR GAME AS FAR AS MAKING A GRADUATION THAT WE COULD ALL BE PROUD OF.

SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

AND PLEASE GIVE ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND THAT STAFF JUST KUDOS BECAUSE IT WAS A IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

FORTUNATELY THIS MONTH, IT'S KIND OF BITTERSWEET WITH ALL THE GRADUATIONS AND ALL THE AWARDS.

BUT I AM, AS I MENTIONED, SADDENED THAT WE ARE LOSING DR.

ELSASSER, EVEN THOUGH HE IS LEAVING THE DISTRICT.

AS I MENTIONED, HE, I THINK, WILL DO ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS THINGS WITH CLAREMONT.

SO WITH THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, THANKS AGAIN.

AND I AM EXCITED THAT DR.

MATHEWS IS GOING TO BE JOINING OUR TEAM.

I'M REALLY HOPING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO TO NAVIGATE ANY SORT OF PROBLEMS THAT THAT MAY HAPPEN, HOPEFULLY NOT HAPPEN.

BUT I THINK WITH HIS EXPERIENCE AND WITH HIS LINES OF COMMUNICATION, I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO TO KIND OF GET THROUGH IT.

OTHER THAN THAT, I DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING ELSE.

I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAS A GREAT SUMMER.

I EXPECT THAT THE KIDS COMING UP AND THAT ARE COMING UP IN THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE READY TO GO AFTER THEY GET AS MUCH FUN IN THE SUN AS THEY CAN. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THAT WILL BE COMPLETING MY BOARD REPORT.

THANK YOU.

I TOO WAS ABLE TO ATTEND MANY GRADUATIONS AND WAS JUST VERY PROUD OF OUR DISTRICT AND ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

THAT GRADUATED AND ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO IT.

IT WAS A VERY BUSY TIME, BUT IT WAS ALSO A TIME THAT YOU CAN JUST BE VERY PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS DISTRICT AND THE PEOPLE THAT COME ALONG WITH IT. A FEW QUESTIONS THAT SOME OF THE PARENTS, SOME OF THE TEACHERS, JUST THE END OF THE YEAR, STUFF THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

AND I JUST FIGURED I SHOULD DO THIS NOW BECAUSE DR.

ELSASSER ALWAYS SAYS HE HAS TO TYPE A LOT.

WHEN I GET MY BOARD REPORT.

SO THIS IS MY PARTING GIFT TO YOU AT A PREVIOUS MEETING, THE DISTRICT'S DATA THAT WE HAVE PACING GUIDES.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD GET AS A BOARD, WHAT DO THESE GUIDES LOOK LIKE? IN ADDITION TO THIS, THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE ALIGNMENT WITH OUR CURRICULUM AS OUR KIDS ARE RECEIVING THEIR FINAL GRADES, PARENTS HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT AND THE REPORTING.

IT'S OFTEN, OFTEN UNCLEAR HOW OR HOW OR WHY THEY GET THE GRADES THEY DO.

AND THE GRADES CAN VARY IN HOW THEY ARE GIVEN ACROSS DIFFERENT TEACHERS WITHIN THE SAME CONTENT AREA.

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE COULD BE TWO ENGLISH TEACHERS WHO ARE ON THE SAME GRADE AT THE SAME SCHOOL, BUT THEY'RE GRADING DIFFERENTLY.

IT'S BEEN. SAID.

AND IT DOES APPEAR TO SEEM THAT THIS COULD BE AN EQUITY ISSUE.

SO I'M WONDERING IF WE ARE WORKING TO ALIGN OUR GRADING OR DEVELOP A NEW GRADING POLICY.

[01:00:04]

SO I WAS CURIOUS IF THAT COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD TAKE ON AS A BOARD.

AND I WAS ALSO WONDERING, AT WHAT POINT WILL THE BOARD GET A REPORT ON HOW THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE PURCHASED, HOW HAVE THEY HELPED OUR STUDENTS, AND HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT WE WERE BUYING IS ACTUALLY WORKING? AND SO THAT WOULD BE WE HAVE BOUGHT A LOT A LOT OF PROGRAMS THIS YEAR.

SO I THINK KNOWING THE PROGRESS AND KNOWING IF IT'S BEING EFFECTIVE IS A GOOD THING TO KNOW AS WE CONTINUE TO PURCHASE PROGRAMS. AND ALSO TO A LOT OF PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND EVEN SOME TEACHERS HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS, THE GREATER TRANSPARENCY IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND SO WHEN WE RETURNED TO SCHOOL, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COURSE OUTLINE, WHETHER IT'S IN THE SYLLABUS OR ONLINE.

THE PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOMS, THE NOVELS BEING READ, SUPPLEMENTAL CURRICULUM BEING BROUGHT IN.

THE TEACHERS ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB AND THE PARENTS ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO COME ALONGSIDE WITH THEM ON THIS JOURNEY.

AND THE THE TEACHERS HAVE EXPRESSED AS WELL ARE THE ONES THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO.

THEY SAID THE MORE CLEAR THAT THE MORE CLEAR THE CURRICULUM AND THE INSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOM IS.

THE MORE THAT THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS GET ON BOARD AND THE CLEARER THE EXPECTATIONS.

SO IF THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS CAN OR THE PARENTS CAN ACCESS THIS INFORMATION, THEY CAN BETTER SUPPORT THE TEACHER AND THEIR STUDENTS IN THEIR LEARNING, WHICH IS VERY TRUE.

I HAVE TWO OF MY KIDS.

THEY HATE READING. AND SO ANY TIME THEY HAD TO READ SOME BOOK, THEY WERE PROCRASTINATING GREATLY ON IT, I CAN ASSURE YOU.

AND SO IT COME TO THE QUESTIONS AND I'D SAY, WELL, WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? IT WOULD ALMOST BE, WELL, I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE NAME.

AND SO IF I COULD ACCESS SOMETHING ON THE WEBSITE OR IN THE TEACHER'S LIKE FROM THE TEACHER'S WEBSITE, AND I COULD HAVE SEEN WHAT BOOK I COULD HAVE ON THE LIBRARY OR WENT AND BOUGHT IT AND PROBABLY READ IT BY THE TIME THEY GOT HOME OR AT LEAST HAD SOME OVERVIEW.

SO I WAS THINKING LIKE THAT DID MAKE SENSE WHEN PARENTS BROUGHT THAT UP.

THERE'S A LOT OF PARENTS WHO, AS THEIR KIDS HAVE PROGRESSED THROUGH SCHOOL, THEY'VE READ THE BOOKS OR READ THE NOVELS.

SO WHEN THE QUESTIONS DO COME HOME, THEY KIND OF DO IT TOGETHER AND THEY'RE VERY INVOLVED WITH THE STUDENTS.

AND I READ HE WAS A HUGE, HUGE TOPIC THIS LAST MONTH IN EMAILS AND TEXTS AND SOME MEETINGS AND.

A SUGGESTION WAS MADE THAT WE REPLACE IBD AND THAT WE HAVE COMMON ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE BUILT WITH OUR TEACHERS.

THERE'S AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ALREADY OF MONEY BEING SPENT ON FREDDIE.

AND SO IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT INSTEAD OF USING FREDDIE, WE'LL HAVE THE TEACHERS BUILD THE ASSESSMENTS AND THAT WE SPEND THE MONEY BEING SPENT ON ALREADY ON OUR TEACHERS. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS JUST SOME CLARITY AND ALIGNMENT AND GRADING THE ASSESSMENTS AND CURRICULUM.

AND I JUST ALSO WANTED TO THANK THE TEACHERS ARE CLASSIFIED STAFF, ADMINISTRATORS, EVERYONE AS A WHOLE FOR THE PHENOMENAL JOB THAT THEY DID THIS YEAR, ATTENDING ALL THESE GRADUATIONS.

AND JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE AWARDS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE AT THIS WAS BY FAR, I THINK, STATED BY EVERYONE.

I HEARD THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST YEARS EVER IN TEACHING.

AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO STEPPED UP FOR OUR KIDS AND, YOU KNOW, MADE THIS YEAR HAPPEN AND MADE THIS ALL WORK.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I APPRECIATE IT.

AND I THANK YOU.

AND I HOPE NEXT YEAR IS EASIER AND SMOOTHER.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

SINCE OUR LAST MEETING WHERE WE GAVE REPORTS, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO VISIT THE KITCHEN AT VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT WAS A VERY IMPRESSIVE LUNCH PERIOD, I GUESS WOULD BE THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY IT.

THAT TEAM WAS ORGANIZED AND IT WAS ALMOST MESMERIZED ME WATCHING THEM BECAUSE THEY ALL HAD THEIR PLACE.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A SYMPHONY AND IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

AND I JUST WANT TO DO A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE FOOD SERVICES WORKERS FOR MAKING SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE FED EACH DAY BECAUSE SPENDING THE LUNCH IN THAT KITCHEN WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

AND VALENCIA IS A HUGE POPULATION AND THEY GOT ALL THE KIDS THROUGH THE LINE SUPER QUICK WHERE THERE WAS NO LINE AND I WAS JUST REALLY IMPRESSED AND THEY WERE EVEN DOWN EMPLOYEES.

SO EXCELLENT JOB.

ALSO, I HAD THE CHANCE TO GO TO EL CAMINO REAL HIGH SCHOOL WITH AND I WAS JOINED WITH THE YORBA LINDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

AND IT WAS A GREAT DISCUSSION ABOUT PARTNERING WITH THE CHAMBER AND PROVIDING NOT ONLY INTERNSHIPS, BUT LOOKING FOR

[01:05:10]

IT WAS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT SEVERAL I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER, SO I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GUESS.

BUT THEY HAD FINISHED THEIR FOOD HANDLING LICENSE AND SO HOW TO GET MENTORING AND HELP THEM TO BUILD THEIR RESUMES AND MOCK INTERVIEWS AND AND ALL SORTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM.

SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW THIS PROGRESSES AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YORBA LINDA CHAMBER STEPPING UP TO HELP OUR STUDENTS.

UM. I VOLUNTEERED AT THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE AT 318, AND I WAS HAPPY TO SUPPORT THAT ORGANIZATION AND TO SEE ALL THE AMAZING WORK THAT THEY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I TENDED.

ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AWARDS.

AND I LOVED HEARING THE STORIES OF THE STUDENTS, OF WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH, THEIR COLLEGE PLANS, SEEING THEIR PERSONALITIES. IT'S IT'S SO AMAZING TO HEAR ALL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS.

OVER THE LAST WEEK AND A COUPLE OF DAYS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND EIGHT GRADUATION AND PROMOTIONS, AND I REALLY LOVE CELEBRATING AND HONORING OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENTS.

AND IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

AND ALL AROUND, HANDS DOWN AT ALL THE SCHOOLS, THE STUDENT ADDRESSES WERE AMAZING.

I'M ALWAYS JUST IN SHOCK AND AWE OF WHAT THEY COME UP WITH AND THEIR MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THEIR STUDENTS AND HOW THEY EXPRESS THEMSELVES.

AND IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE AND.

RECENTLY, WE KIND OF GOT A KIND OF A YEAR END SUMMARY FROM THE REACH FOUNDATION, AND I JUST WANTED TO.

DO A SHOUT OUT TO THEM AND THANK THEM FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK IN SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS THROUGH ACADEMICS, ARTS, ATHLETICS AND OUTREACH.

AND THEY HAVE BEEN A STAPLE IN THIS DISTRICT FOR DECADES, SUPPORTING AND SUPPLEMENTING SO MANY PROJECTS, AND I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL FOR THEIR CONTINUED WORK AND DEDICATION TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS.

AND. ALSO, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF RETIREES THIS LAST WEEK WITH TEACHERS AND.

ADMINISTRATORS RETIRING.

AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK EACH ONE OF THEM PERSONALLY FOR THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND TO OUR STUDENTS AND FOR ALL THE WORK AND.

SWEAT AND HEART THAT THEY HAVE PUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND YOU'VE MADE A GIANT DIFFERENCE.

AND I JUST WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY SUMMER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, SINCE WE HAD OUR REPORT IN MAY, I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THOSE THINGS TO REPORT ON.

FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE PLACENTIA KIWANIS CLUB FOR PUTTING A BUDDY BENCH AT ROSE DRIVE TO REMEMBER CLAYTON TRAN, WHO WAS A STUDENT WHO PASSED AWAY THIS YEAR. AND ON THE THE BUDDY BENCH, THE QUOTE SAYS, IF YOU CAN BE ANYTHING, BE A FRIEND, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PERFECT FOR FOR THAT SCHOOL.

AND THE THE BENCH WAS MADE AND DONATED USING RECYCLED PLASTIC.

SO IT WAS JUST A NICE WAY TO TO HONOR HIM.

I ATTENDED THE INDUCTION SHOWCASE AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH AND HEAR FROM SOME OF OUR NEW TEACHERS THAT ARE IN THEIR FIRST TWO YEARS AND ALSO HEAR FROM SOME OF THEIR MENTOR TEACHERS AND THE THINGS THAT THEY LEARNED AND THE THINGS THEY TRIED AND WORKED IN THEIR CLASSROOM.

IT WAS WE HAVE A GREAT BUNCH OF NEW TEACHERS THAT ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE AND LEARNING NEW THINGS AND IMPLEMENTING IN THE CLASSROOM.

I WAS INVITED BY THE RICH FOUNDATION, GISELE NGUYEN, THE INSIDE THE SPEAKER SERIES.

THEY HAD SIX DIFFERENT SPEAKER SERIES THIS THIS YEAR.

AND THIS WAS THE SIXTH AND FINAL ONE THAT I ATTENDED, THE BRAINCHILD OF GISELLE.

IT'S COMPLETELY STUDENT ORGANIZED.

IT'S PAST STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING BACK AND ANSWERING A SET OF QUESTIONS THAT THE STUDENTS ALREADY WORKED OUT.

AND THERE'S 3 TO 4 PEOPLE AT EACH ONE AND THEY THEY THE STUDENTS LEAD THE WHOLE THING.

IT'S REALLY AN IMPRESSIVE DISCUSSION WITH VERY THOUGHT OUT QUESTIONS AND TALKING ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE IN SCHOOL WHEN THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AND THE THE TRAJECTORY AND WHAT TOOK THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE NOW IS IN THEIR CAREER AND AND WHAT BENEFITED THEM.

SO IT WAS REALLY WELL DONE.

I ALSO ATTENDED THE SBA SEMINAR ON THE GOVERNORS MAY REVISE AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CHAPMAN ECONOMIC FORECAST COMING UP AS WELL

[01:10:10]

I ATTENDED THE MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY A CELEBRATION THAT LETI AND I HAVE NOW COORDINATED ON AS A RESULT OF A GRANT THAT WE GOT.

AND WE CALLED THE GRANT WHEN WE WROTE IT IGNITE PLACENTIA AND IT REALLY BRINGS A LOT.

318 AND WHAT THEY DO ALONG WITH HIS O.S.

AND WHAT THEY DO, SHE WORKS WITH THE STUDENTS AND THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF LA JOLLA AND, AND THE GOMES CENTER AREAS, WINTON AND GOMEZ CENTER AREAS.

AND THEN WE COME ALONGSIDE AND SUPPORT WITH ALL OF THOSE RESOURCES AND, AND SERVICES.

SO WE HAD 30 BOOTHS THAT WERE THERE THAT BROUGHT SERVICES AND REFERRALS TO THE, TO THE COMMUNITY THERE AT THE GOMEZ CENTER.

IT WAS A REALLY FUN DAY.

LET'S SEE. I WAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE YORBA LINDA GIRL SCOUTS, GOLD AND SILVER AWARDS THIS YEAR AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A LEADER. AND IT WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS AND THEY ALL WERE IN GIRL SCOUTS AND I WAS A LEADER FOR EIGHT YEARS, TOO.

SO TO COME BACK AND AND BRING THEM WITH ME, TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY NICE.

UM, LET'S SEE, WE MENTIONED THE, ALL OF THE EVENTS.

I THINK I WENT TO ALMOST ALL OF THE DISTINGUISHED SCHOOLS, BUT I MISSED SOME OF THE SENIOR AWARDS.

I ATTENDED PARKVIEW VALDEZ IN TOUGH RE PROMOTIONS, GEORGE KEY GRADUATION FOR JONATHAN AND JESSICA.

AND THAT ONE IS, I THINK, BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE GRADUATIONS, BECAUSE THE CHALLENGES THAT THOSE FAMILIES AND THE STUDENTS HAVE TO GET TO TO GET TO GRADUATION AT GEORGE KEY. IT'S IT'S CHALLENGES THAT MOST STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO TO OVERCOME.

SO IT WAS REALLY WONDERFUL TO SEE THE TWO OF THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES THERE CELEBRATING WITH THEM.

MOST GRADUATIONS, YOU'LL HAVE A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.

THEY HAD TWO ROWS PER PER STUDENT THERE OF PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE.

I ALSO ATTENDED PARKVIEW GRADUATION, EL CAMINO, EL DORADO AND VALENCIA.

IT WAS A HECK OF A WEEK LAST WEEK.

AND THEN RIGHT AFTER OUR LAST BOARD MEETING, I GOT ON A TRAIN AND HEADED TO SAN DIEGO TO THE NAVAL AIR FORCE'S NAVAL AIR STATION, NORTH ISLAND.

AND I SPENT 24 HOURS ON THE USS NIMITZ AIRCRAFT CARRIER AS A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR, WHICH WAS AMAZING.

I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE NAVY AND THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SAILORS AND PILOTS, AND THERE WERE SO MANY NUMEROUS JOBS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THERE.

THE PATHS TO GET INTO THE NAVY AND OUT OF THE NAVY.

IT WAS REALLY A FUN EXPERIENCE.

MY FAVORITE PART WAS ACTUALLY SITTING DOWN AND TALKING TO THE SAILORS.

THE SHIP ITSELF IS CONTROLLED AND RUN BY BY YOUNG ADULTS WITH THE AVERAGE AGE OF 20 AND A HALF.

IT JUST IS REMARKABLE WHAT THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH AND WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO.

I WOULD I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO THANK THE CO XO AND ADMIRAL OF THE USS NIMITZ AND IZZY AVILA, WHO IS THE EDUCATION SERVICES SPECIALIST AND CHIEF, LATANYA PERCY.

AND I KNOW I GOT THAT WRONG FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT WAS REALLY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.

AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE BRINGING IN EDUCATORS FROM ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT THEY DO, I THINK IS IS IT WAS DEFINITELY EYE OPENING FOR ME. WE ACTUALLY FLEW IN OFF OF THE THE NAVAL AIR STATION ON A COD.

AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT COD STANDS FOR, BUT IT'S THREE WORDS.

AND WE LANDED ON THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER AND WHAT THEY CALL TRAPPING.

SO THEY ACTUALLY CATCH YOU.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THE 24 HOURS, WE GOT BACK ON THAT COD AND THEY CATAPULTED US OFF AND WE EXPERIENCED GS LIKE YOU.

WOULD YOU SEE IN TOP GUN MAVERICK, BUT NOT QUITE AS EXTREME, BUT WE REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR THAT AND JUST GAVE ME A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT THE NAVY DOES.

I DID ASK IF WE HAVE A LITTLE VIDEO.

WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THE LANDING THAT THEY SHOWED US.

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY OUR COD.

THIS IS JUST ALL OF US GETTING OFF.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW ALL OF THIS.

BUT IT WAS IT WAS 15 DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT ARE ALL EDUCATORS.

AND IT WAS REALLY AMAZING AND A BIT NERVE WRACKING.

I THINK THE LANDING WAS I THINK WE WERE WORRIED THAT THAT WAS GOING TO MAKE US A LITTLE SICK.

[01:15:03]

SO THAT'S THE END OF MY REPORT.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

AND WE HAVE 12 SPEAKERS AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ROUND IT ISH, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH ALL OF YOU TO TWO AND A HALF MINUTES, WE'LL GO A LITTLE BIT OVER, BUT THAT WOULD BE OKAY. SO WE'LL START WITH WHAT I NORMALLY DO IS I'LL CALL IT THREE SO THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE COMING UP NEXT.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER WILL BE JUDY DESJARDIN, ED GUNN AND DIANA FULMER.

AND WHEN YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, WOULD YOU REPEAT YOUR NAME, PLEASE, AND THEN YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO WE'LL SET IT FOR TWO AND A HALF.

MAYBE. MAYBE.

YOU'LL BE JUST FINE.

AGAIN. I'M JUDY DUJARDIN, AND I'M HERE AS A GRANDMOTHER.

I DO HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT ATTEND THE DISTRICT.

AND SO MY TOPIC TONIGHT.

BOARD AND PARENTS AND SUPERINTENDENT.

AS IS CURSIVE HANDWRITING.

I WAS INFORMED THAT SOME TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT TEACH CURSIVE AND OTHERS DO NOT.

SO MY QUESTION TO THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS WHY NOT? THIS SHOULD BE A STANDARD FOR ALL STUDENTS AND A REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION.

I RECENTLY.

TALK TO A YOUNG MAN THAT GRADUATED.

HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD.

HE WENT TO THE BANK.

TO OPEN UP A BANK ACCOUNT, FILLED OUT THE APPLICATION AND PRINTING.

AND WHEN THE BANKER ASKED FOR HIM TO SIGN IT, HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SIGN HIS NAME.

AND ALSO IN VOTING, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WRITE YOUR NAME IN CURSIVE ON ON ON THE BALLOT.

SO I'M JUST REALLY PUZZLED WHY THIS IS NOT A.

UH, TODD, I KNOW I CAN'T ASK YOU.

I MEAN, YOU DO HAVE MY EMAIL AND MY PHONE NUMBER, SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RESPONSE.

BUT ALSO, I THINK THAT THE PURPOSE SHOULD BE TO TO PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR LIFE APPLICATIONS.

I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A CHECKBOOK.

I MEAN, WRITE A CHECK.

AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO COME INTO THE DISTRICT.

AND WHATEVER AGE I KNOW IT STARTS AT THE THIRD GRADE LEVEL.

I BELIEVE THAT CURSIVE IS TAUGHT.

SO IF YOU GET STUDENTS FROM, YOU KNOW, IN THE SIXTH GRADE OR JUNIOR HIGH OR HIGH SCHOOL, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN DO CURSIVE AND WRITE THEIR NAMES.

I THINK THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS PUT INTO THE CURRICULUM NEXT YEAR.

AND THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, IF THEY GO ON AN INTERVIEW AND THE BOSS ASKS THEM TO.

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, THAT THEY'VE ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THE JOB.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO SIGN THEIR NAME IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW? SO ANYWAYS, PLEASE CONSIDER DOING THIS AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS IMPLEMENTED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HELLO. GOOD EVENING.

ED GUNDERSON, RESIDENT OF YORBA LINDA SINCE 1977, WENT THROUGH THE SCHOOLS HERE IN THE DISTRICT, EXCEPT FOR I WAS BUS TO TROY BACK IN THE DAY IN FULLERTON.

ANYWAY, OPENING UP TEACHERS GOOD UNION BAD AND OF COURSE WHEN UNIONS CHOOSE STUDENTS LOU LOU'S EXCUSE ME OC BASICALLY WHY DO I SAY THAT? WHY DO I SAY TEACHERS GOOD, UNION BAD? WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IN THE LAST ELECTION CYCLE IS WHEN I WENT AROUND AND LOOKED AT ELECTION SIGNS, THERE WAS A MISTY JENSEN SIGN.

THERE WAS AN ERIC PAGEANT SIGN.

AND WHEN YOU LOOKED REALLY CLOSE AT THE SIGN DOWN ON THE EDGE, IT SAID, PAID FOR BY APPLE.

SO WHEN A UNION NOT ONLY PAYS THE WAY FOR A BOARD EMPLOYEE TO BE ON THE BOARD, BUT THEN ALSO NEGOTIATES WITH THAT PERSON AFTER THEY'VE PAID FOR THEM TO BE ON THE BOARD.

THIS IS NOT IN THE TAXPAYER'S BEST INTEREST.

IT IS AGAINST OUR INTEREST.

SO IT IS THE ANTITHESIS OF OUR INTEREST.

SO. THERE WAS ALSO A TEACHER THAT GOT UP HERE AND SPOKE AT THE LAST MEETING WHO SAID, YOU KNOW, TEACHERS ARE TIRED AND

[01:20:07]

AND IT DAWNED ON ME THAT THEY WORK ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.

AND SO IF THEY EARN 70,000 A YEAR, DIVIDE THAT BY EIGHT, MULTIPLY BY 12, THAT'S 105,000 A YEAR JOB IF YOU WORKED ALL 12 MONTHS.

SAME THING. IF YOU EARNED 100,000 A YEAR, IT'S REALLY 150,000 A YEAR JOB.

IF YOU WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK AROUND THE YEAR, JUST LIKE A REGULAR PERSON DOES.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING.

I'VE ACTUALLY GOT TWO SETS OF TEACHERS WHO BOUGHT HOUSES ON MY STREET FOR 900,000, SO I FIND THAT VERY INTERESTING.

SO I GUESS IT'S NOT TOO BAD.

NOW, I DID WANT TO SAY THAT CALIFORNIA IS A DUMPSTER FIRE AND NANCY PELOSI'S NEPHEW, KENDALL GAVIN, THE HARE NEWSOM, AS HE DRIVES THE PINK BARBIE CORVETTE OFF THE CLIFF.

WE ARE ALL PAYING FOR THAT.

SO IN CLOSING, I DO WANT TO SAY HELLO, RICHARD ENGEL.

GOODBYE, BUCK.

HELLO, TODD FRAZIER.

GOODBYE, FREEMAN.

AFTER THIS NEXT SPEAKER, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE JUN ZHENG, SHARI PALICKI AND HUGO JIN.

GOOD EVENING. HELLO.

MY NAME IS DIANA FULMER.

I'M AGAINST THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO PRACTICE FIELD.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PRACTICE FIELD SHOULD BE JUST THAT.

A HIGH SCHOOL PRACTICE FIELD.

WE HAVE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE AREA THAT HAVE LIGHTS FOR GAMES.

IT WAS IT IS A PRACTICE FIELD.

THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE GIGANTIC 70 FOOT LIGHTS ONLY TEN FEET FROM OUR HOUSES.

THE INTRUSION OF THE PARKING LOT LIGHTS IS BAD ENOUGH.

THOSE LIGHTS WERE, WE WERE TOLD, WOULD NOT SHINE IN OUR HOUSES.

AND THEY DO ALL NIGHT LONG.

AND UP UNTIL 530 IN THE MORNING, WE MOVED HERE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE LOVE IT. OUR KIDS GRADUATED FROM IT.

WE'RE BIG EL DORADO SUPPORTERS.

WE GO TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE'VE GONE TO THE DANCE RECITALS, AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE GIRLS.

WE JUST DON'T SEE WHERE THE EXTRA LIGHTS ARE NECESSARY.

IN YOUR NOVEMBER 16, 2021 MEETING, YOU STATED THAT THERE WERE MORE INJURIES ON THE OTHER FIELD WITH LIGHTS.

SO ADDING LIGHTS DOES WITH THAT LOGIC DOESN'T DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

ON THE PLANS.

IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD BE ON UNTIL 10:00 AT NIGHT.

REALLY? WHAT PARENT WANTS THEIR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS PRACTICING TILL TEN? FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, ACADEMICS SHOULD BE FIRST AND THAT SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY ACADEMICS AND NOT SPORTS.

AND MY KIDS DID PLAY SPORTS AND DID VERY WELL.

AND SINCE I AM LIMITED ON TIME, IF THERE'S SO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS PROJECT AS PER YOUR NOVEMBER 16, 2021 MEETING, IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO REAL BUILDING AND STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT. GET RID OF THE UGLY PORTABLES, IMPROVE THE CEMENT AND ASPHALT AROUND THE SCHOOL, AS WELL AS IMPROVE THE SCARY BLEACHERS WHERE THE PRACTICE FIELD IS.

THAT'S A REAL DANGER.

YOU CAN'T GO UP THERE WITH A TODDLER.

YOU'D REALLY BE IN TROUBLE.

MORE EDUCATIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE NEEDED.

THE BOARD CAN AMEND THE BUDGET AND ALLOCATE THE FUNDS TO WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.

I AM A RETIRED TEACHER AND I'M AWARE THAT THE BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUDGET.

AND LASTLY, YOU ALL SAID THE COMMUNITY AT THE NOVEMBER 16TH MEETING WANTED THE LIGHTS.

WHAT COMMUNITY? IT IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

OUR COMMUNITY. WE DON'T WANT THE LIGHTS AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

WOULD ANY OF YOU WANT THOSE LIGHTS RIGHT BEHIND YOUR HOUSES? I DON'T THINK SO.

IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO STATE BECAUSE THE LIGHT WOULD SIGN INTO YOUR HOUSES DIRECTLY FROM THE FIELD.

IT IS NOT FAIR AND I'M SURE YOU WOULD NOT LIKE THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD LIGHTS EITHER.

THANK YOU MUCH VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

AND I DO AGREE WITH THE FIRST SPEAKER.

VERY MUCH SO. FOURTH GRADE TEACHER.

WE DO NEED HANDWRITING AND GOOD EVIDENCE THAT IT ALSO HELPS IN MENTAL DEVELOPMENT.

SO YOU SHOULD BE INCORPORATING THAT IN SCHOOLS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JUN SINGH. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS GINGER. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE IN SIXTH GRADE NEXT YEAR AT HASBRO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

RECENTLY, I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE BEST GAY TEACHER, MR. CHANG, WILL NOT TEACH THE SIXTH GRADE GAY CLASS NEXT YEAR.

INSTEAD, SHE'S ASSIGNED TO TEACH A REGULAR FOURTH GRADE CLASS.

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS TO MOST OF THE TV SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS, THEIR PARENTS AND MS..

CHANCE. THE TB SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS WERE EXPECTING TO BE TAUGHT BY MS..

CHANG FOR YEARS.

BUT THIS NEW STUDY CRUSHED THEIR PLAN.

SO IMAGINE YOU PLAN TO VISIT A FAMOUS RESOURCE AND YOU PLAN EVERYTHING.

AND THEN WHEN YOU WERE READY TO BOARD THE AIRPLANE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELED, THERE'S NO FLIGHT TO THE RESORT ANYMORE.

[01:25:04]

IF SOME FAMILY PLAN TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICT OR PRIVATE SCHOOL DUE TO THIS THIS REASON, THIS WILL BE A GREAT LOSS FOR HIGH YOU SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

AND I ALSO BELIEVE THIS NEW ASSIGNMENT WILL CREATE A BIG HICCUP FOR MS. CHAN'S CAREER AS WELL.

SHE HAS TAUGHT SIXTH GRADE GATES FOR SO MANY YEARS AND SUDDENLY SHE NEED TO CHANGE THE GEARS TO TEACH A REGULAR FOURTH GRADE CLASS.

SO AS A TEACHER MYSELF, I UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH DIFFICULTY SHE HAS TO FACE AND THUS MY IMPACT, HER PASSION AS AN EDUCATOR AS WELL.

SO IF SHE PLANNED TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THIS WILL BE ANOTHER GREAT LOSS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO RECENTLY I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT CALIFORNIA'S TEACHER STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO IS 35% HIGHER THAN NATIONAL AVERAGE.

THIS MEANS THAT OUR STUDENTS DENY THE SAME LEVEL OF STUDENT TEACHER CONTENT INDIVIDUAL ATTENDANCE AS MOST STUDENTS RECEIVE NATIONALLY.

SO IT'S TIME FOR US TO RETHINKING THAT WHAT WE SHOULD DO FOR BETTER.

AND SO CURRENTLY THE FIFTH GREAT GATE PROGRAM AT WOODSBORO HAS TWO CLASSES.

ONE IS FULL OF ALL THOSE STUDENTS AND ONE IS THE COMBOS.

AND NOW THEY WANT TO COME BY ALL THOSE STUDENTS TO THE SIXTH GRADE.

AND SO THEN SIXTH GRADERS ONLY HAVE ONE CLASS, AND SOME OF STUDENTS KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN THE WAITING LIST, BUT BECAUSE THE CAPACITY HAS BEEN FULL, SO THEY CANNOT GET INTO THE PROGRAM. SO I HUMBLY SUGGEST THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ADD A COMBO CLASS FOR THIS CLASS AND SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN IN THE WAITING LIST CAN GET INTO THE PROGRAM AND MS..

CHAN CAN TEACH THE SIXTH GRADE AGAIN.

THANK YOU.

HI THERE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE STUDENTS AT KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THERE ARE MANY ISSUES PLAGUING THIS SCHOOL.

YOUR STAFF WAS ABLE TO BRING A GUN ONTO CAMPUS AND USE IT FOR HARM.

YOU HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAMERAS ARE NOT ENOUGH.

YOUR STAFF CREATED AND LED A SCHOOL WIDE ANTI COP, ANTI WHITE MALE ACTIVITY.

YOU HAVE A CRT ISSUE.

THE STUDENTS AT CRAMER THIS YEAR SPENT THREE FULL ACADEMIC WEEKS BACK TO BACK ON ONLINE TESTING.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT MISUSE OF TIME THAT YIELDS INACCURATE RESULTS AND ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTS YOUR STUDENTS.

THE PRINCIPAL AT CRAMER FAILED TO REPLACE THE SCIENCE OLYMPIAD COACH AFTER HE LEFT.

THE CRAMER TEAM AT THAT TIME WAS ON THE CUSP OF NATIONALS.

THE DEMANDS OF THE TEAM FELL TO THE PARENTS.

YOU YOU HAVE TIME FOR SOCIAL ISSUES, BUT NOT SCIENCE.

YOU HAVE A PRIORITY ISSUE AT CRAMER AS WELL.

EIGHTH GRADE GATE STUDENTS.

THEY ONLY READ TWO NOVELS THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR.

THAT'S NINE MONTHS OF SCHOOL AND TWO NOVELS.

I CONSIDER THAT AN ACADEMIC ISSUE.

KRAMER STAFF PASSED OUT NON MEDICALLY APPROVED RAINBOW PRIDE MASKS.

RAINBOW STICKERS LED THE SCHOOL AND A SCHOOL WIDE LGBTQ ACTIVITY, ALLOWED POSTERS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL, EDUCATING STUDENTS ON GENDER FLUIDITY AND TRANSGENDERISM FOR STUDENTS TO PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THEIR PRONOUN AT A MANDATORY SB TRAINING CALLED STUDENTS BY A PRONOUN NOT ACCEPTED BY THE PARENTS.

REFUSE TO RETURN THE CALL FOR HELP FROM FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN WERE HOODWINKED INTO THIS TRANSGENDER CULT.

YOU HAVE A GROOMING ISSUE.

AT KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WHOEVER IS MANAGING THE PRINCIPAL AT CRAMER IS DOING A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE JOB.

SO I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT COMING IN CAN START TO CARE ABOUT ALL THE STUDENTS AT CRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THANK YOU. AFTER HUGO WILL HAVE JASMINE YU, CHRIS PALICKI AND LUAN JONG.

HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS HUGO GINN, AND I'M ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE ABOUT MRS. CHUNG CONTINUING TO BE THE SIXTH GRADE TEACHER AT HILLSBOROUGH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I AM A FORMER STUDENT OF MRS. CHUNG. WITHOUT HER HELP, I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN AS PREPARED FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AS I WOULD HAVE BEEN.

I HAVE A FEW ARGUMENTS I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT.

[01:30:01]

SHE ENABLES US BY PROVIDING US WITH GUIDANCE, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFO ON TOP OF THE CURRICULUM.

SHE IS EXTREMELY EFFICIENT AT TEACHING.

THE CURRICULUM DOES NOT CUT ANY CORNERS.

SHE TEACHES ALL THE CURRICULUM BUT ALSO ADDS ON ADDS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO US IN THE FUTURE.

SHE SHE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH AND KNOWS THE ADVANCED TOPICS, AND SHE CAN TEACH THEM CLEARLY AND ENGAGING.

THIS PROVES THAT SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER.

THAT IS THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF WHAT A IT IS ABOUT.

MY SECOND ARGUMENT IS THAT SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE REQUIREMENT OF A TEACHER.

SHE FULLY PROVIDES THE SHE EXCEEDS THE CURRICULUM AND MAKES THE SHE SHE MAKES SHE MAKES FINISH THE CURRICULUM EXTREMELY FAST, BUT ALSO THOROUGHLY AND DETAILED.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE YEARS IS OPEN FOR US TO DO MORE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ALSO VERY, VERY EDUCATIONAL.

FOR EXAMPLE, HAD COVID NOT HAPPEN THAT YEAR, I WAS IN MRS. CHANG'S CLASS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN, WE KNOW, LEARN ABOUT PHYSICS OF BOTTLE ROCKETS AND DISSECTED COW EYEBALLS, WHICH WILL BE PROBABLY USEFUL IN BIOLOGY IN HIGH SCHOOL, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT THERE YET. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

WHY? THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE ATTRACTED TO GATES, BECAUSE WE GET STUDENTS.

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FAST ACCELERATED COURSE.

SO BECAUSE NORMAL SCHOOL IS JUST NOT GOOD, IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

IF SPECIAL, IT'S LIKE SPECIAL EDUCATION.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL NEED. WELL, I BELIEVE THAT WE THE REASON WE JOIN GATE IS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE WE HAVE A SPECIAL NEED AND WE WANT TO HAVE FASTER CLASSES THAT THAT TEACHES THE INFO FASTER AND WE CAN LEARN MORE.

THERE'S ANOTHER REASON IS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ENGAGED, AKA THE PEOPLE IN THE FOURTH GRADE NON GAY CLASS, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND MRS. CHUNG AS EASILY AS SIXTH GRADERS.

FOURTH GRADERS ARE PROBABLY NOT AS MATURE AS SIXTH GRADERS AND THEREFORE CANNOT LEARN AS EFFECTIVELY OR UTILIZE THEM AS AS STRONG AS EFFECTIVELY AS THE SIXTH GRADERS.

THEREFORE, I BELIEVE MRS. CHUNG SHOULD STILL CONTINUE TO BE THE SIXTH GRADE GATE TEACHER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JASMINE, YOU.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JASMINE YU.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MR. CHANG BRIDE. WELL, I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS WHO ATTENDED THE GREAT PROGRAM OF THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND MY OLDER ONE, MY OLDER DAUGHTER, WHEN SHE WAS AT WOODSBORO, AND SHE HAD MRS. CHANG AS HER SIXTH GRADE TEACHER, SHE ALWAYS TELLS US HOW LUCKY SHE WAS TO BE IN HER CLASS.

AND MR. CHOW HELPED HER PREPARE SO WELL FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HER IMPROVEMENT IN MULTIPLE AREAS DURING SIXTH GRADE AND REALLY SURPRISED US.

MRS.. THE REALLY TREATS EACH CHILD AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND HELP THEM GROW TO THEIR BIGGEST POTENTIAL.

SO WHEN MY YOUNGER ONE JOINED THE BRIGADE PROGRAM, WE REALLY HOPE THAT MRS. CHANG COULD ALSO BE HER SIXTH GRADE TEACHER.

A TEACHER. HOWEVER, IT WAS SHOCKING TO KNOW THAT MRS. CHANG HAS BEEN REASSIGNED TO TEACH.

NOT GREAT FOURTH GRADE IS FOR MR. CHAN HAS BEEN TEACHING SIXTH GRADE GRADE CLASS AT WOODSBORO FOR DECADES, AND SHE NOT ONLY TAUGHT GRADE THE GRADE CLASS, SHE ALSO HELPED TRAIN GREAT TEACHERS IN AND OUTSIDE OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SHE WILL PUBLISH THE GRADE MATERIALS USED WIDELY IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO WE DON'T KNOW WHY AND HOW THIS DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AT WOODSBORO.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT IF SHE IF SHE'S REMOVED FROM THE GATE PROGRAM AT WOODSBORO, IT'S REALLY A BIG LOSE FOR CURRENT WOODSBORO GATE STUDENTS AS WELL AS ANN AND YES, THE GREAT STUDENTS.

SO TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR MRS. CHANG TO KEEP TEACHING SIXTH GRADE AND GATE CLASS AT WOODSBORO, WE HAVE STARTED A PETITION FOR HER UNTIL NOW.

45 WOODSBORO FAMILIES HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION, INCLUDING CURRENT FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE WOODSBORO STUDENTS, AS WELL AS HER FORMER STUDENTS. SO THE PETITION HAS BEEN SENT TO DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE THE GATE PROGRAM OFFICERS AS WELL AS THE AND DR.

LOPEZ AND THE NEW PRINCIPAL.

SO I BELIEVE MANY OF YOU HAVE READ OUR PETITION.

WE HOPE THAT OUR CONCERNS CAN BE HEARD AND SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED.

I HEARD THAT ONE REASON MRS. CHUNG WAS REMOVED FROM WOODSBORO IS BECAUSE WOODSBORO IS LOSING STUDENTS.

BUT WE BELIEVE IF MRS. CHAN CANNOT COME BACK TO TEACH SIXTH GRADE, THEN MORE STUDENTS WILL BE MOVED, WILL BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE PROGRAM.

[01:35:02]

HELLO. MY NAME IS CHRIS PALICKI.

IT'S BEEN A LITTLE TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN UP HERE SPEAKING, BUT SOMETIMES THINGS CATCH MY ATTENTION AND I NEED TO COME.

SO WE NEED TO HAVE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE MISUSING AND ABUSING GENDER IDEOLOGY TO GROOM AND INDOCTRINATE CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOLS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT TRANSITIONING GENDER IDEOLOGY INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PUBERTY BLOCKERS, WHICH CAN BE HORRIBLY DAMAGING AND PERMANENT AS THESE DRUGS INTERFERE WITH THE NORMAL, HEALTHY FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN BODY AND CAN LEAD TO STUNTED GROWTH, LOW BONE DENSITY STERILIZATION AND POSSIBLY NO SEXUAL FUNCTION OR LIBIDO.

CHEMICAL CASTRATION IS ANOTHER PART OF THE IDEOLOGY.

SO IS MUTILATION OF THE GENITALIA, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE.

SOME SURGERIES THAT ARE DISCUSSED INVOLVE USING THE COLON TO MAKE ARTIFICIAL VAGINAS.

MUTILATION OF FEMALE BREASTS IS ALSO ON THE DOCKET.

I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS IN OUR SCHOOLS AND THESE ARE OUR SCHOOLS.

THIS IS WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED.

SOME SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND SCHOOL SPONSORED CLUBS ARE DISCUSSING TRANSITIONING GENDER IDEOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF A SOLUTION TO STRESS, ANXIETY AND FRUSTRATION.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS CONSIDERING THE PERMANENT DAMAGE THAT CAN BE DONE.

THE FOCUS ON LGBTQ EQUALITY, FAIRNESS AND PRIDE IN OUR SCHOOLS HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO GROOMING, INDOCTRINATION AND PERSUASION. OVER SUPPORT? YES. PERSUASION OVER SUPPORT.

I HAD A CALL FROM A FRIEND JUST JUST THIS LAST WEEK WHO IS IN OUR DISTRICT AND WHOSE CHILD WAS A VICTIM OF OUR DISTRICT'S INDOCTRINATION AND PERSUASION ABUSE. THERE WERE NO SAFEGUARDS FOR THE CHILD WHO WHO IS CELEBRATED AND PERSUADED TO ADOPT THE IDEOLOGY AND TAKE ACTION, WHICH MEANS TAKE DRUGS AND CONSIDER PHYSICAL MUTILATION.

AGAIN, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

WE NEED TO HAVE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE MISUSING AND ABUSING GENDER IDEOLOGY TO GROOM, PERSUADE AND INDOCTRINATE INNOCENT CHILDREN IN OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. AFTER LEWAN WILL HAVE CHRIS CURTIS, COURTENEY COX AND MARIA.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE, AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TIME AVAILABLE.

MY NAME IS LUANN ZHENG AND I HAVE JUST FINISHED MY SCHOOL YEAR OF FIFTH GRADE AND PROMOTED FROM BRYANT RANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I AM VERY GLAD THAT MRS. FREEMAN CAME TO OUR PROMOTION CEREMONY.

I WAS IDENTIFIED AS A GAY STUDENT IN FOURTH GRADE.

BUT I DECIDED TO STAY AT BRYANT RANCH FOR THE GATE PROGRAM, AND I PLAN TO GO TO WOODSBORO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR THE GREAT CLASS OF SIXTH GRADE.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, MY DAD CALLED THE GATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS THE FIRST PERSON ON THE WAITING LIST.

AND LATER OUR FAMILY WAS INFORMED THAT THE WOODSBORO GATE CLASSES WERE ALL FULL.

SO IF I WANT TO CONTINUE TO STUDY IN A GATE CLASS, I HAVE TO GO TO GOLDEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

WOODSBORO WOULD BE A BETTER CHOICE FOR ME THAN GOLDEN.

FIRST. IT'S CLOSER TO MY HOUSE.

MY HOUSE IS LOCATED IN THE EAST OF YORBA LINDA.

IT TAKES MORE THAN 20 MINUTES TO DRIVE TO GOLDEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

MY FAMILY HAS THREE KIDS, AND MY LITTLE SISTER IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD.

MY PARENTS ARE VERY BUSY.

THEY NEED TO WORK AND SPEND A LOT OF TIME TO TAKE CARE OF US.

NOW THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE EXTRA TIME TO DRIVE US EACH DAY.

I WISH THAT MY SCHOOL COULD BE CLOSER TO MY HOUSE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE CAR.

IT IS ALSO OUR ASSIGNED GATE MAGNET SCHOOL BASED ON OUR HOME ADDRESS.

NEXT. SOME GAY STUDENTS I KNEW FROM BRYANT RANCH HAVE ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO WOODSBORO GATE CLASS AT FOURTH GRADE.

THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AT THE NEW CAMPUS.

I AM OKAY ABOUT GOING TO GOLDEN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, BUT WOODSBORO WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER CHOICE FOR ME.

I REALLY HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE GAY CLASSES IN WOODSBORO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

HELLO, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS CHRIS CURTIS.

I'M A YORBA LINDA.

YORBA LINDA RESIDENT FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

[01:40:01]

AND I HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT I WANT TO SPEAK TO MOSTLY THE PARENTS AT HOME.

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK MISS LEANDRA BLADES AND SHAWN YOUNG YOUNGBLOOD FOR BEING PATRIOTS AND DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR KIDS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO WHEN YOU VOTE.

SO I APPRECIATE IT.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT CURRENTLY ALLOWS BOYS TO GO INTO THE GIRLS BATHROOMS AND THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOMS. THIS IS WRONG AND MUST END NOW.

OUR SCHOOL BOARD IS A LIBERAL MAJORITY.

AND THEY ARE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.

THERE ARE TWO AWESOME KIDS, FIRST PARENTS OR SORRY, THERE ARE TWO AWESOME KIDS FIRST AND PARENTS FIRST CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR OUR SCHOOL BOARD IN NOVEMBER.

ONE IS RICHARD ENGEL, WHO IS A DAD, HAS TWO KIDS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

HE'S AN ATTORNEY AND WILL BRING HIS LEGAL KNOWLEDGE TO HELP OUR BOARD MAKE VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS.

THE SECOND IS TODD FRAZIER.

I HAVE ACTUALLY COACHED BASEBALL WITH HIM.

HE'S A GREAT GUY.

I HAVE LUNCH WITH RICHARD ALL THE TIME.

I KNOW THEM PERSONALLY BOTH.

TODD IS A DAD TO THREE KIDS IN OUR DISTRICT.

TODD IS AN ACCOUNTANT IN OUR IN OUR CITY AND WILL BRING HIS FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE TO OUR DISTRICT TO HELP MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS.

SO WHAT I NEED TO ASK THE PARENTS AT HOME IS PLEASE GET INVOLVED.

WE NEED TO ELECT THESE TWO PATRIOTS THAT LOVE OUR KIDS AND WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT FOR OUR KIDS.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. I'M COURTNEY JACQUES, AS ALWAYS.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US AND FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

ALTHOUGH BEING BACK IN PERSON THIS SCHOOL YEAR HAS HELPED TO NARROW THE GAP BETWEEN PERFORMING GRADE LEVEL AND ACTUAL GRADE LEVEL, THERE'S STILL AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF LEARNING LOSS THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE UP FOR.

AS WE SAW AT THE RECENT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, THE MAJORITY OF US STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING BELOW GRADE LEVEL FOR BOTH READING AND MATH.

YET WE CONTINUE TO REQUIRE OUR STUDENTS TO USE THE PROGRAM.

I READY. FROM VOLUNTEERING IN CLASS, I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU HOW MUCH THE STUDENTS HATE THIS PROGRAM.

THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE IN THE ROOM CHANGES FROM EXCITEMENT TO DREAD WHEN THE STUDENTS HAVE TO LOG ON TO READY.

THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IRONY.

AS A PARENT, THE LACK OF OVERSIGHT FOR CONTENT THAT IS AGE APPROPRIATE IS MOST ALARMING.

THERE'S LITTLE TO NO ATTENTION GIVEN TO WHAT CONTENT IS AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS.

IN FACT, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ASK A TEACHER TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT IS BEING OFFERED VIA IRONY BECAUSE IT'S A DIGITAL MEDIA PREPARED OFF SITE TO WHICH EACH SCHOOL HAS NO SAY IN WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEIR STUDENTS.

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THERE ARE FILTERS IN PLACE TO PREVENT SUCH TOPICS, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE FILTERS DON'T WORK AND THEY'RE NOT BEING MONITORED CLOSELY.

WHEN A TEACHER PICKS OUT A BOOK OR AN ARTICLE TO READ IT TO THEIR CLASS, THEY HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF CONTENT.

WHEN A TEACHER REQUIRES A STUDENT TO LOG ON TO ALREADY, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ARTICLE THAT STUDENT IS GOING TO READ, IF IT IS AGE APPROPRIATE OR IF IT IS A SENSITIVE TOPIC.

SO WHO'S VETTING THE CONTENT? NO ONE. YOU'RE RELYING ON THE FILTERS AND THEY'RE CLEARLY NOT WORKING.

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF BANNING CRT? IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THIRD PARTY PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE IT IN THEIR EVERYDAY CURRICULUM, IRONY IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE.

WE PAY TEACHERS TO TEACH, YET MORE AND MORE ACTIVITIES ARE MOVING TO THE COMPUTERS.

STUDENTS HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM NOVEL STUDIES TO CONTINUE TO BE PLACED IN FRONT OF A SCREEN FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME WITHOUT ANY TEACHER INTERACTION.

WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE ANSWERS THAT WE GET FROM THE ADMINISTRATION ARE ALWAYS THE SAME.

THAT I READ IS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ASSESSMENT.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO FAST. BASICALLY, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

MY DAUGHTER IS A FIFTH GRADER AT TRAVIS AND HER ENTIRE PORTION OF HER GRADE IS BASED ON IRONY.

SHE WENT DOWN A WHOLE LETTER GRADE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T DO I READ ONE WEEK THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO 30 MINUTES IN EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT EVERY WEEK AND OTHER CLASSES DO UP TO AN HOUR. SO I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER.

SO LET'S DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF I ALREADY.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. EVERYONE.

WHAT AN ARRAY OF INCONCEIVABLE EVENTS TOOK PLACE THIS SCHOOL YEAR FROM CANCELED BOARD MEETINGS, UNLAWFULLY OVER SCRUTINIZED MASK EXEMPTIONS, COERCE AND HUMILIATED KIDS,

[01:45:04]

TEACHERS PURCHASING MASKS IN SECRET FOR KIDS TO WEAR IN CLASS ONLY.

AND EVEN WHEN THE MANDATE WAS OVER, STAFF STILL RECOMMENDING AND OFFERING MASKS TO OUR KIDS DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

AGAIN, UNBEKNOWNST TO PARENTS WHO ARE THE ONES WHO SEND THE KIDS TO SCHOOL WITHOUT ONE.

AND TO THE VERY LAST DAY, A TEACHER TELLING KIDS SHE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS FOR THEM NOT TO HIGH FIVE.

THE SIXTH GRADER GRADUATES DURING THEIR FAREWELL WALK SO THAT THEY DON'T GET SICK WHEN THE TEACHERS AND STAFF UNDERSTAND ANY OF THE ABOVE IS THEIR ROLE IN THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN.

AND WHAT IS THE BOARD GOING TO DO TO ENSURE NONE OF THESE REPEATS EVER AGAIN? WHEN ARE WE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT IN THIS DISTRICT, MASKS ARE A CHOICE? IN THE SAME MANNER, THE BOARD HERE NEEDS TO TAKE QUICK ACTION FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL.

NO GENDER TALK SHOULD BE ALLOWED OTHER THAN IN THIS SEX ED CLASS.

ANYTHING OUTSIDE THAT IS CONSIDERED GROOMING.

AND THERE ARE LAWS THAT PROTECT MINORS FROM THAT.

BY THE WAY, PARENTS OPT OUT OF THOSE CLASSES FOR A REASON.

TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF CRAMER CRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL AND STOP THIS EVIL.

LAST MONTH, THE SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL DISTRICT GLADLY ACCEPTED A DONATION OF BOOKS FOR THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

THESE BOOKS SPEAK ABOUT TRANSGENDERISM AND EFFECTIVELY QUESTION AND WAKE UP INNOCENT KIDS TO SEXUALITY.

NOT ON OUR WATCH PYLUSD.

SPEAKING OF THAT, PARENTS ARE STILL NOT ALLOWED IN CAMPUS.

THE PRINCIPALS JUST DECIDE THAT'S WHAT IS GOING TO BE FOR THE SCHOOLS.

SO PARENTS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS BEING DISPLAYED, WHAT TYPE OF BOOKS ARE IN THE LIBRARIES, WHAT KIND OF MOVIES ARE THEIR KIDS GOING TO BE WATCHING? WE DON'T KNOW THAT IN ADVANCE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT BOOKS ARE GOING TO BE READING.

THERE ARE NO SYLLABUS WHERE BLIND AS TO WHAT OUR KIDS ARE BEING SHOWN OUTSIDE THEIR NORMAL CURRICULUM.

ONE LESS THING, A STATISTIC.

THIS YEAR'S STATEWIDE STUDENT ATTENDANCE DECLINED BY EIGHT 2%.

I REST MY CASE.

OKAY. THAT ENDS PUBLIC COMMENT.

AND WITH THAT, IF YOU'RE ALL AMENABLE, MAYBE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK.

OKAY, WE'LL DO THAT. TAKE FIVE MINUTE BREAK.

[STAFF PRESENTATIONS]

AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE POINT IN OUR AGENDA WHERE WE HAVE STAFF PRESENTATIONS AND I'M GOING TO PASS IT TO DR.

ADAMSON SO SHE CAN INTRODUCE THE NEXT TWO.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.

PRESIDENT BACK, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, EXECUTIVE CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S MY PLEASURE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT TO YOU PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA'S RESULTS AS MEASURED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S APPROVED STANDARDS FOR THE LOCAL INDICATORS THAT SUPPORT DISTRICTS IN MEASURING AND REPORTING THEIR PROGRESS WITHIN THE APPROPRIATE PRIORITY AREA.

CALIFORNIA'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD, IS BASED ON EIGHT STATE PRIORITIES.

IN ORDER TO MEASURE EACH OF THESE PRIORITIES, THE STATE HAS ESTABLISHED BOTH STATE MEASURES AND LOCAL INDICATORS.

LOCAL INDICATORS ARE MEASURED FOR SOME OF THE STATE PRIORITIES THAT ARE NOT COLLECTED OR REPORTED BY THE STATE.

AS PART OF THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY PRIORITIES WITH DATA IS NOT COLLECTED AT THE STATE LEVEL.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO MEASURE AND REPORT OUR PROGRESS THROUGH THE DASHBOARD BASED ON LOCALLY COLLECTED DATA.

LOCAL INDICATORS REFLECT THE EMPHASIS ON LOCAL CONTROL, HELP CREATE A SEAMLESS ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS THROUGHOUT STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS, AND HELP THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE HOLISTIC PICTURE OF OUR DISTRICT'S PROGRESS.

THIS CHART BEFORE YOU SERVES TO SUMMARIZE THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN STATE AND LOCAL INDICATORS.

SINCE THE STATE HAS YET TO DEVELOP A MEASURE FOR ALL EIGHT PRIORITIES, IT IS THE REQUIREMENT OF EACH DISTRICT TO DEVELOP THEM.

THE THIRD COLUMN SHOWS EACH LOCAL INDICATOR IN RELATION TO ITS APPLICABLE STATE PRIORITY.

THE STATE INDICATORS COUPLED WITH THE LOCAL INDICATORS, CREATE THE DATA FOR THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD.

TOGETHER, THESE INDICATORS HELP DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS IDENTIFY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AND PINPOINT STUDENT GROUPS THAT MAY BE STRUGGLING.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT OUR PROGRESS ON FIVE LOCAL INDICATORS REFERRED TO AS PRIORITIES.

PRIORITY ONE FOCUSES ON BASIC SERVICES.

PRIORITY TWO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA CONTENT STANDARDS.

PRIORITY THREE PARENT ENGAGEMENT.

PRIORITY SIX SCHOOL CLIMATE WHICH MEASURES STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF ENGAGEMENT AND SAFETY, AND PRIORITY SEVEN COURSE ACCESS WHICH MEASURES STUDENT ACCESS TO AND ENROLLMENT.

IN A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY, THE INFORMATION COLLECTED CAN BE BASED ON EITHER QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE DATA, USING LOCAL SURVEYS IN HOUSE REPORTS

[01:50:06]

SO STARTING WITH PRIORITY ONE, WHICH FOCUSES ON BASIC SERVICES, SPECIFICALLY APPROPRIATELY ASSIGNED TEACHERS, ACCESS TO CURRICULUM, ALIGNED MATERIALS AND CLEAN AND FUNCTIONAL SCHOOL FACILITIES.

SO THE RESULTS FOR THE 2122 HUMAN RESOURCES REPORT LISTED ZERO TEACHER MISSED ASSIGNMENTS AND ZERO VACANT TEACHER POSITIONS.

THE 2122 WILLIAMS COMPLIANCE REPORT SHOWED THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO CURRICULUM ALIGNED MATERIALS AND THE OVERALL RATING FROM THE 2122 FACILITIES INSPECTIONS TOOL, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE FIT, INDICATED THAT ALL SCHOOL FACILITIES RECEIVED THE HIGHEST RATING OF GOOD.

NEXT IS PRIORITY TWO, WHICH FOCUSES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STANDARDS.

A SELF ANALYSIS TOOL COUPLED WITH STAKEHOLDER SURVEY DATA WERE USED TO QUANTIFY PROGRESS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STANDARDS.

THE SELF ANALYSIS TOOL IS ALIGNED TO A RUBRIC THAT CONTAINS FOUR METRICS.

STAGE ONE INDICATES THE RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION LEVEL.

STAGE TWO INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION.

STAGE THREE SUBSTANTIAL IMPLEMENTATION AND STAGE FOUR INDICATES WE WOULD BE AT FULL IMPLEMENTATION.

THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TEAM HAS EVALUATED EACH CONTENT AREA IN DETAIL AND REPORTS THE FOLLOWING FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS ELA ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, KNOWN AS ELD AND MATH PLACENTA YORBA LINDA HAS ADOPTED CONTENT ALIGNED MATERIAL ACROSS ALL GRADE SPANS K THROUGH 12 AND REPORTS BEING AT STAGE FOUR, WHICH IS KNOWN AS FULL IMPLEMENTATION. THIS YEAR, AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING A PILOT OF THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS IN GSA MATERIALS ACROSS ALL GRADE LEVELS FOR INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IN GRADES K THROUGH 12, THE KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLEMENTATION LEVEL OF SCIENCE IS CONSIDERED TO BE STAGE TO OTHERWISE KNOWN AS INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION.

WITH THE RELEASE OF NEW HISTORY HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK, ALL GRADE LEVELS CONTINUE TO BE AT STAGE ONE RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT AREA.

A PILOT OF NEW MATERIALS WILL BEGIN IN THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT OUR CURRENT TEXTBOOKS ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CURRENT HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE STANDARDS.

IN THE AREA OF CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, THERE'S BEEN A FOCUS AT ALL COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

THE DISTRICT CURRENTLY HAS 26 CTE PATHWAYS IN TEN INDUSTRY SECTORS, INCLUDING ARTS, MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND MANUFACTURING AND A TEACHER PATHWAY.

THESE PROGRAMS HAVE GONE AT TREMENDOUS MOMENTUM DUE TO MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CTE GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO THE DISTRICT.

OVERALL, STAFF RATE THE PROGRAMS AT STAGE THREE SUBSTANTIAL IMPLEMENTATION, AS WE ARE ALWAYS SEEKING TO EXPAND OFFERINGS IN THIS AREA.

AND FINALLY RESULTS FROM THE SELF ANALYSIS TOOL RATED HEALTH, EDUCATION, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS AND WORLD LANGUAGE ALL AT STAGE FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL METRIC TO QUANTIFY PROGRESS FOR THIS LOCAL INDICATOR, WE USED OUR STAKEHOLDER SURVEY DATA RESULTS WHICH WERE REPORTED BY RESPONDING TEACHERS, PARENTS, SUPPORT STAFF AND STUDENTS, ALL OF WHOM INDICATE SATISFACTION WHEN RESPONDING TO THE QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE COMMUNICATION OF STANDARDS, HIGH ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS AND EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION.

WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THESE FAVORABLE RESULTS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PRIORITY THAT WE PLACE ON SEEKING ONGOING AND FREQUENT INPUT FROM ALL EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS AS A MEANS OF ENSURING WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE IN THESE AREAS.

NEXT, I WILL PRESENT THE RESULTS FOR PRIORITY THREE, WHICH FOCUSES ON PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT TO QUANTIFY PROGRESS.

WE CREATED A SLIDING SCALE TO ACCURATELY CONVERT OUR STAKEHOLDER SURVEY PERCENTAGE RESULTS TO ALIGN WITH THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S REQUIRED SELF REFLECTION RATING TOOL, WHICH USES A SLIDING SCALE OF 1 TO 5.

RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY WERE COLLECTED FROM PARENTS, TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF AND STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE, FIVE, EIGHT AND TEN.

THE HIGHEST RATING OF FIVE WAS ACHIEVED FOR OUR FOCUS ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES IN THE AREA, INVOLVING THE BUILDING OF PARTNERSHIPS FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES.

PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA RECEIVED A HIGH A VERY HIGH RATING OF 4.5 AND FOUR SEEKING PARENTAL INPUT FOR DECISION MAKING.

THE RATING WAS A 4.75 ON THE STATE'S FIVE POINT SCALE.

NEXT, WE MOVE ON TO PRIORITY SIX, WHICH FOCUSES ON SCHOOL CLIMATE.

FOR THIS MEASURE, WE UTILIZED OUR STAKEHOLDER SURVEY DATA TO COLLECT PERCEPTIONS OF SCHOOL SAFETY AMONG STUDENTS.

ONCE AGAIN, IN GRADES THREE, FIVE, EIGHT AND TEN, SCHOOL CLIMATE HIGHLIGHTS THREE KEY DOMAINS THAT SIGNIFY STUDENTS OVERALL FEELINGS REGARDING SAFETY AND CONNECTEDNESS AT SCHOOL. IN THE AREA OF SAFETY, STATISTICS VARY FROM 88% AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL TO 76% AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.

[01:55:01]

PERCENTAGES RANGE FROM THE HIGH EIGHTIES TO THE LOW SEVENTIES.

AS WE REVIEW. AND FINALLY, WHEN STUDENTS WERE ASKED IF ADULTS TREAT THEM WITH FAIRNESS AND RESPECT, WE SAW A SIMILAR RANGE.

AS WE REVIEW THESE RESULTS, THERE ARE TWO FACTORS I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, WHICH I BELIEVE WE SHOULD REMAIN MINDFUL OF.

FIRST, THE FEEDBACK WAS COLLECTED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AFTER A PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING TIME OF THE YEAR AS A RESULT OF SPIKING COVID CASES AND ABSENCES.

AND TWO IN PARTICULAR, AT THE SECOND SECONDARY LEVEL, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST YEAR THAT SEVERAL EIGHTH AND 10TH GRADERS FOUND THEMSELVES ON A MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS.

KNOWING THAT MANY STUDENTS REMAINED IN REMOTE LEARNING FOR THE DURATION OF THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC.

IT'S NOT ALL THAT SURPRISING TO SEE THOSE LOWER PERCENTAGES AT THE SECONDARY LEVELS, KNOWING TRANSITION TAKES TIME.

BUT REGARDLESS OF THESE CHALLENGES WE KNOW THAT WE FACE THIS PAST YEAR.

THESE RESULTS SPEAK TO THE NEED FOR OUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO PRIORITIZING OUR EMPHASIS AND FOCUS ON STUDENT WELLNESS.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE IDENTIFIED STUDENT WELLNESS AS A PRIORITY IN OUR GOALS AND HAVE ASSIGNED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ONE TIME GRANT FUNDING, ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE TO OFFER SUPPORT THROUGH WELLNESS SPECIALIST ARBITERS AND COUNSELORS AT ALL GRADE LEVELS.

HOWEVER, WE'RE ALSO FULLY AWARE THAT NOTHING CAN REPLACE STRONG STUDENT TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS, GIVEN THE IMPACTFUL ROLE THEY PLAY IN PROMOTING SCHOOL BELONGING AND CONNECTEDNESS AMONGST ALL STUDENTS.

WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO PROMOTING LOVE AND LOGIC, STRATEGIES AND TRAINING FOR ALL TEACHERS, WHICH FOCUSES ON THE SCIENCE OF BUILDING, CARING AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE ADULT AND CHILD.

IN ADDITION, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THREE EFFECTIVE SIGNATURE PRACTICES DISTRICT WIDE FOR IMPLEMENTATION BY ALL TEACHERS NEXT YEAR THAT FOCUS ON ENGAGED INSTRUCTION, GIVING STUDENTS A VOICE, MEETING STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, AND DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF HIGH STANDARDS AND EXPECTATION SCHOOL WIDE.

BY FOCUSING ON DEVELOPING STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WITH TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF, WE EXPECT TO DRAMATICALLY ENHANCE STUDENT'S LEVEL OF MOTIVATION, RESULTING IN STUDENTS WHO ARE MORE ACADEMICALLY ENGAGED, HAVE STRONGER SOCIAL SKILLS AND MEET BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS.

SITE LEADERS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME DATA AT THE SCHOOL SITE LEVEL, ALLOWING THEM TO BETTER IDENTIFY THEIR OWN STUDENTS AREAS OF HIGHEST NEED PERTAINING TO SCHOOL CLIMATE AS THEY BEGIN THEIR OWN PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR.

THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TEAM INTENDS TO FACILITATE ONGOING COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATIONS AND TRAININGS WITH PRINCIPALS TO ENSURE THE DATA IS BEING USED EFFECTIVELY TO BRING ABOUT A CHANGE IN PRACTICES THAT ARE MORE LIKELY TO PROMOTE INCREASED FEELINGS OF CONNECTEDNESS AND BELONGING AMONGST ALL OUR STUDENTS.

AND FINALLY, PRIORITY SEVEN, WHICH MEASURES COURSE ACCESS, REQUIRES US TO IDENTIFY OUR OWN MEASURES TO TRACK THE EXTENT TO WHICH ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO AND ARE ENROLLED IN A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY BASED ON GRADE SPANS AND DUPLICATED STUDENT GROUPS, WHICH INCLUDES OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS, LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND FOSTER YOUTH, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS WITH EXCEPTIONAL NEEDS.

STARTING AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT ALL STUDENTS RECEIVE A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY, INCLUDING ALL OF THE SIX LISTED CONTENT AREAS.

FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12, A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY INCLUDES COURSES IN ENGLISH, SOCIAL SCIENCES, WORLD LANGUAGE, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS. APPLIED ARTS AND CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

TO ANALYZE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL COURSE ACCESS, WE PULLED ENROLLMENT AND COMPLETION DATA IN A BROAD RANGE OF CLASSES AMONGST ALL SIGNIFICANT STUDENT GROUPS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. RESULTS SHOWED A DECLINE OF DUPLICATED PUPILS ENROLLED IN A THROUGH G COURSE OFFERINGS AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ACTUALLY COMPLETING THE A3 G REQUIREMENTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, WHICH PROMPTED US TO CONDUCT A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS.

STUDENTS WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS TEND TO FAIL TO FINISH EITHER THE ENGLISH OR MATH SEQUENCES.

BUT SOME STUDENTS ALSO DID NOT COMPLETE THE SIGNS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS, WHILE SOME STUDENTS FOR JUST ONE COURSE, SHORT OF MEETING A3G REQUIREMENTS MAY ONLY NEED TO COMPLETE TWO OR MORE COURSES.

WE BELIEVE THAT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE FOCUSED GOAL, GOALS AND ACTIONS THAT SERVE TO ALLOW US TO REALLY ENSURE AND BE PROACTIVE ON CATCHING STUDENTS BEFORE THEY GO OFF TRACK, WE WILL WE HOPE TO SEE A LOT OF A LOT MORE IMPROVEMENT IN THIS AREA USING OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNER INPUT.

WE'VE DEVELOPED SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THIS NEED, ALL OF WHICH WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE 2223 EL CAP.

I'VE HIGHLIGHTED WITH SOME OF THESE ACTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT ON THE NEXT THREE SLIDES, BUT I REMIND YOU THAT THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST, JUST A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE MORE IMPACTFUL ACTIONS.

THE FIRST FOUR ACTIONS ARE LISTED ON THE SLIDE.

WE INTEND TO PROVIDE MORE FOCUSED WORK WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO ADDRESS THE DISPARITY AMONGST A G COMPLETION RATES.

DEVELOP AN ARTICULATED SCHOOL COUNSELING PLAN FOR GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12 TO ADDRESS THE COLLEGE READINESS DOMAIN, COMMUNICATE THE BENEFITS OF A THROUGH G COMPLETION WITH

[02:00:04]

CONTINUED ACTIONS INCLUDE SUPPORT ACCESS TO RIGOROUS COURSEWORK BY MITIGATING THE COST OF AP AND IB TEST FEES, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EVENTS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RESOURCES TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO BE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY.

MONITOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AT RISK OF NOT GRADUATING.

INTERVENE AS APPROPRIATE, AND DEVELOP REGISTRATION PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AS WELL AS A3G COMPLETION.

AND FINALLY EXPAND EXPAND PARTICIPATION IN OUR AVID PROGRAM, AS WELL AS CONTINUE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR RECENTLY DEVELOPED ENGLISH LEARNER PROGRESS MONITORING TOOL TO ENSURE CONTINUED GROWTH AND EVENTUAL RECLASSIFICATION OF OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL LEARNERS.

AS I STATED ALREADY, THESE ARE THE ACTIONS INCLUDED IN THE CAP.

HOWEVER, MORE ACTIONS WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE JULY BOARD MEETING WHEN WE SHARE THE PLAN FOR OUR A3 G GRANT FUNDS.

SO AS A RESULT OF ONE MEASURING THIS DATA TO REPORTING THE RESULTS TO YOU OUR GOVERNING BOARD AND THREE UPLOADING UPLOADING THESE RESULTS TO THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD BY JULY 1ST, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MET THE LOCAL INDICATOR REQUIREMENTS.

THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME THIS EVENING AND I'LL ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

UM, IT IT MAY NOT BE THAT WE CAN GET TOO DEEP INTO IT THIS EVENING, BUT ON THE SLIDE, THAT WAS ONE OF THE LAST ONES.

ACTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT.

DEVELOP REGISTRATION PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

AND A COMPLETION.

JUST KIND OF IN A QUICK WAY OF DESCRIBING WHAT MIGHT THAT BE THAT WOULD BE CHANGED OR ADDED TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS THAT MIGHT.

FOSTER THAT VERY RIGHT.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE REGISTRATION, BUT JUST STEPS ENTAILED WHERE, YOU KNOW, COUNSELORS ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH STUDENTS TO REALLY HELP GUIDE THE COURSE SELECTION, YOU KNOW, WHAT CLASSES THEY'RE SELECTING.

I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY A PIECE THAT WE'RE SEEING, JUST THAT EDUCATIONAL PIECE OF IT THAT STUDENTS KNOWING EARLY ON WHAT SUBJECTS THEY NEED TO BE ENROLLED IN AND HAVING THAT ACCESS AND GUIDANCE FROM A COUNSELOR TO ENSURE THAT THEY REMAIN ON TRACK, YOU KNOW, ALL THROUGH THEIR FOUR SCHOOL, THEIR FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.

OKAY. NO, NO.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE WELL, REDUCE THE RATIO BY ADDING AN EXTRA COUNSELOR AT TWO OF OUR SITES.

WILL THAT PLAY INTO THIS? ONE WOULD ASSUME IN VARIOUS WAYS.

ABSOLUTELY, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

YOU. GO AHEAD. OKAY.

UM, I HAVE A JUST.

I'D RECOMMEND ALSO JUST MAYBE TIE IN THE PARENT SOMEHOW.

I HAVE A SOPHOMORE AND I KNOW SHE TALKS TO HER COUNSELOR AND THEY DO A LOT OF PLANNING AND SHE COMES HOME AND TALKS TO ME ABOUT IT.

BUT IF I'M NOT ACTIVELY INVOLVING MYSELF AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE COUNSELOR, THEN I REALLY DON'T WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHAT OPTIONS SHE HAD AND WHAT IMPACT THAT MEANS, BECAUSE SHE'S PRETTY MUCH CHOOSING JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTS IT, WHATEVER CLASS.

BUT THERE COULD BE SOME STRATEGY TO IT THAT.

THAT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO HAVE A PARENT.

SO MAYBE BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S HARD WHEN THEY'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY KIND OF DO THEIR OWN THING.

BUT IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO COMMUNICATE THAT AND THEN IN A.

I'M SURE THERE IS SOME COMMUNICATION ALREADY, BUT JUST IN A BETTER, BROADER WAY.

SURE. THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AND MAYBE EVEN MORE SORT OF THAT LIAISON PIECE WITH THE PHONE, THE HOME SCHOOL CONNECTION.

ABSOLUTELY. AND MY COMMENT JUST FOLLOWS UP PERFECTLY WITH WHAT MRS. BUCK SAID. YOU HAVE HERE COMMUNICATE THE BENEFITS OF A THROUGH COMPLETION WITH FAMILIES.

AND I THINK THAT COMMUNICATION TOOLS.

SO IT'S JUST NOT A COUNSELOR AND A STUDENT.

IT'S THE WHOLE FAMILY.

SEEING THE IMPORTANCE OF IT AND REALLY WORKING THROUGH THAT REGISTRATION PROCESS IS REALLY KEY.

I ATTENDED A SEMINAR ACTUALLY ON THIS AND THEY WERE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT HOW A DISTRICT HAD IMPLEMENTED FAMILIES AS THE KEY THING AND THEIR A THROUGH G JUST SKYROCKETED.

SO WHAT MRS. BECK SAID IS COMPLETELY TRUE, AND PULLING THAT PARENT COMMUNICATION AND PARENTS IN ON THE SUCCESS RATE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

SO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. AND MOVING ON TO TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN.

RIGHT. UNIVERSAL TRANSITIONAL CONTRACT.

THAT IS CORRECT. YES, INDEED.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU GET TO HEAR FROM ME AGAIN.

SO IT'S MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT AN OVERVIEW THIS EVENING OF THE PLACENTA YORBA LINDA'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STATE'S UNIVERSAL PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM, WHICH IS A

[02:05:07]

BUT BEFORE WE REVIEW THE DETAILS OF THE STATE'S PLAN, I'D LIKE TO BEGIN WITH A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE CREATION OF OUR COVETED PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA TK PROGRAM, FORMERLY KNOWN AS PREP K.

TO DATE, PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA PROUDLY HOSTS ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST TC PROGRAMS IN ORANGE COUNTY, WITH A TOTAL OF 33 CLASSROOMS. AT THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION, WE WERE PROUD TO HOST MEMBERS OF THE SACRAMENTO OFFICE OF EDUCATION WHO REQUESTED TO VISIT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO OBSERVE OUR MODEL CLASSROOMS FIRST HAND AS A MEANS OF LEARNING MORE ABOUT OUR PROGRAM AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS.

IT WAS SO IMPRESSED THAT THEY SPENT A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR TIME MAKING RECORDINGS OF LESSONS, AS WELL AS CONDUCTING VIDEO RECORDED INTERVIEWS WITH TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF AND DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS.

PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA WAS EVEN FEATURED IN THE TCA IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE FROM THE STATE AND CONTINUES TO BE CONSIDERED A MODEL PROGRAM TO THIS DAY.

IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE VISIONARY WORK OF FORMER DIRECTOR OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DORIE STACK, WHO WAS TENACIOUS IN HER DESIRE TO SHARE THE DATA SHE COLLECTED, SHOWING PROOF THAT OUR YOUNGEST KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WERE BEING RETAINED BECAUSE THEY LACKED A DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PROGRAM.

DORI WAS TIRELESS IN HER WORK, COLLABORATING CLOSELY WITH EARLY AGE LEADERSHIP, WHO SHARED THE BELIEF THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, EARLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES SO THAT STUDENTS COULD HAVE A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS.

DORA'S DETERMINATION WAS SUCH THAT SHE BECAME INVOLVED WITH DECISION MAKERS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS ADVOCATING FOR THE TC PROGRAM EXPANSION, INCLUDING ATTENDANCE AT SEVERAL STATE LEVEL MEETINGS ON THE SUBJECT.

THE END RESULT OF THIS RELENTLESS MISSION TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR YOUNGER STUDENTS LED TO THE FORMATION OF OUR FORMERLY KNOWN PREPPIE KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM.

MULTIPLE FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESSFUL CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION THAT INCLUDED DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING.

THE FORMATION OF A CURRICULUM AND PARENT COMMITTEE AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN TC TEACHERS AND PRESCHOOL STAFF.

SO NOW THAT YOU HAVE A SUMMARY OF THE BACKGROUND OF OUR TC PROGRAM, I AM PLEASED TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT LIES AHEAD.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BECAUSE OF OUR PAST FOCUS AND DEDICATION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM AS A DISTRICT, WE ARE WELL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE IN MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED TC LEGISLATION ASSEMBLY BILL 167.

SOME OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW INCLUDE MEETING BIRTHDAY REQUIREMENTS, STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIOS, CLASS AVERAGE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS AND TEACHER QUALIFICATION QUALIFICATIONS, EACH OF WHICH OUR REVIEW BRIEFLY ON THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.

SO ONE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW INCLUDES MEETING BIRTHDAY REQUIREMENTS WHEREBY IN THE YEAR 22, 23 STUDENTS BORN BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2ND THROUGH FEBRUARY 2ND NEED TO BE ENROLLED IN TC IN PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA.

WE ALREADY MEET AND EXCEED THESE REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE WE CURRENTLY ENROLL STUDENTS WITH A MARCH 31ST BIRTHDAY.

THIS IS A PRACTICE WE HAVE FOLLOWED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

YOU'LL NOTICE, HOWEVER, THAT OUR TC STUDENTS BEGIN BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY YOUNGER OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND THAT BY THE YEAR 2526, ALL STUDENTS WHO TURN FOUR BY SEPTEMBER 1ST WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE ENROLLED IN TC.

ANOTHER PROVISION FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR RELATES TO STUDENT TEACHER RATIOS OF 1 TO 12, WHICH WHICH THEN MOVE TO A 1 TO 10 TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIO IN THE 2324 SCHOOL YEAR.

I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE THAT WILL MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH I PLAN TO SHARE A LITTLE LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.

THE NEW LEGISLATION ALSO REQUIRES AN AVERAGE ENROLLMENT PER CLASSROOM TO BE SET AT 24 STUDENTS.

IN PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA, OUR COMMITMENT TO FAMILIES IS THAT STUDENTS ATTAIN THEIR SCHOOL OF RESIDENCE, SIMPLY MEANING WE WILL PROVIDE PROVISIONS IN THE FORM OF ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR ANY SCHOOLS THAT FACE LARGER CLASS SIZES.

FINALLY, TEACHER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS REMAIN THE SAME AS THOSE REQUIRED FOR A MULTIPLE TEACHER, MULTIPLE SUBJECT TEACHING CREDENTIAL WITH 24 EARLY CHILDHOOD UNITS OR A PERMIT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.

THE TIMELINE BEFORE YOU SHOWS IN DETAIL THE STEPS THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THUS FAR.

IN OCTOBER OF 2021, A TEAM CONSISTING OF PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA, EARLY CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LEADERSHIP ATTENDED STATE AND LOCAL INFORMATION MEETINGS TO STAY CURRENT ON THE REQUIREMENTS AND SHARE UPDATES WITH AN EXTENDED, TC FOCUSED TEAM THAT CONSISTED OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION, NUTRITION SERVICES AND BUSINESS AND FISCAL SERVICES.

THEREAFTER, WE ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDED TIMELINE AND ACTIONS STEPS SET FORTH IN THE EPC PROCESS.

AFTER MEETING THE SCHOOL BOARD PRESENTATION REQUIREMENT, WHICH WE ARE DOING THIS EVENING.

THE NEXT STEP IN THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE IS TO SUBMIT OUR PLAN TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR FINAL CERTIFICATION.

[02:10:06]

TWO, ENLISTING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS.

THREE, SECURING STAFFING AND OFFERING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROVIDING CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT.

AND FIVE EVALUATING THE NEED FOR FACILITIES, SERVICES AND OPERATIONS AT ALL SCHOOL SITES.

FOCUS AND COHERENCE IN TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN IS ACCOMPLISHED BY INCORPORATING TC AS AS A PART OF THE EARLY LEARNING VISION WHERE WE ENSURE ALL CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY AND DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES THAT INTENTIONALLY NURTURE AND SUPPORT THE WHOLE CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY.

AS A PART OF THE EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM CONTINUUM OF OPTIONS WE PROVIDE TO FAMILIES.

WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER BOTH CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL CLASSES, AS WELL AS A FEE BASED PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AT LINDA VISTA ELEMENTARY, IN ADDITION TO TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN AT ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

THE CENTER YORBA LINDA VALUES COLLABORATION.

AND AS A RESULT, WE ENGAGED MULTIPLE EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS IN THE PLANNING AND FEEDBACK PROCESS LISTED ON THE SLIDE, OR JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF VARIOUS PLATFORMS AND OPPORTUNITIES WE PROVIDED TO OUR COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL PARTNER GROUPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PLAN.

OUR CARE PROGRAM ALREADY MEETS THE REQUIRED WORKFORCE RECRUITMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE LISTED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFERINGS TO TEACHERS, STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS.

THIS INCLUDES CALIFORNIA PRESCHOOL LEARNING FOUNDATIONS AND FRAMEWORKS, COMPONENTS OF HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS, DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PBIS STRATEGIES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS, EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENT AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES AND PRESCHOOL OCD PROJECT GUIDED LANGUAGE ACQUISITION DESIGN, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS GLAD.

GLAD IS A RESEARCH BASED INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH THAT INCORPORATES A VARIETY OF STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT BILINGUAL STUDENTS IN LEARNING CONTENT WHILE ALSO SIMULTANEOUSLY ACQUIRING LANGUAGE.

IT INCORPORATES INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES AND SCAFFOLDING TECHNIQUES RELATED TO SECOND LANGUAGE LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THAT HELP MAKE GRADE LEVEL CONTENT COMPREHENSIBLE FOR ALL LEARNERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY, BUT WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING THE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

PER STATE LEGISLATION.

TC PROGRAMS MUST ADHERE TO THE CALIFORNIA PRESCHOOL LEARNING FOUNDATIONS AND FRAMEWORKS IN PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA OR TC.

CLASSROOMS PROVIDE ONE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT INSTRUCTION, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING, INSTRUCTION AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH FOCUSES ON COOPERATION, SELF CONFIDENCE, SELF-REGULATION, AND HEALTHY AND A HEALTHY ATTITUDE TOWARD SCHOOL AND LEARNING.

AND FINALLY, A STRONG FOCUS ON SINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS.

FORTUNATELY FOR US, WE ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE TO ACCOMMODATE TC AT EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE, WHICH MEANS WE ARE IN NEED OF VERY FEW ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES AS A RESULT OF THE CLOSE AND CONSISTENT COLLABORATION AND TEAMWORK AMONGST OUR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.

WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT ADEQUATE CLASSROOM AND RESTROOM FACILITIES AND THE ADEQUATE COVERAGE AND OFFERINGS OF GENERAL OPERATIONS AND SERVICES AT EACH OF OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL OF OUR CURRENT TC CLASSROOMS ALREADY MEET THE PRESCHOOL BATHROOM REQUIREMENTS, WHICH REQUIRES THAT THEY ARE EITHER SELF CONTAINED WITHIN THE CLASSROOM OR WITHIN THE TK COMPLEX.

IN ORDER TO MEET THE 1 TO 12 STUDENT TO TEACH A RATIO GUIDELINES REQUIRED BY THE NEW TC LEGISLATION.

WE'RE PLEASED TO SHARE OUR PLAN USING A COMBINATION OF THE PER PUPIL FUNDING ASSIGNED FOR TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN LEARNING AND THE GOVERNOR'S RECENT EDUCATIONAL BUDGET RELEASE.

ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL CATEGORICAL FUNDS, WE WILL SOON BE HIRING ONE FULL TIME, FULLY CREDENTIALED ACADEMIC SUPPORT TEACHER OR ACED AT EACH ELEMENTARY SITE AS A MEANS OF ENSURING COVERAGE AND MAINTAINING THE 1 TO 12 RATIO IN EACH TC CLASSROOM DURING OVERLAP TIME WHEN CLASS ENROLLMENT IS EXPECTED TO REACH 24 STUDENTS.

THIS PLAN, WHICH I MUST POINT OUT, IS DEPENDENT ON THE FUNDS BEING APPROVED AS PART OF THE STATE BUDGET.

ADOPTION ON JULY 1ST WILL ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT STRUCTURE OF OUR TC HALF DAY PROGRAM AND THEREBY ALSO MAINTAIN THE FIDELITY OF OUR PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY THE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE SUPPORT THAT IT PROVIDES OUR TC STUDENTS AND TO WHICH WE ULTIMATELY ATTRIBUTE THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE HAD THUS FAR, AND ADDED BENEFIT TO PROVIDING AN ACADEMIC SUPPORT, TEACHER OR ASSET AT EVERY SCHOOL SITE IS INTERVENTION THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TO OTHER GRADE LEVELS DURING THE DAY.

USING THE MODEL PROGRAM WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT EIGHT SCHOOL SITES THAT HAS RESULTED IN EFFECTIVE STUDENT ACADEMIC GAINS.

ASD ASSISTS WILL PROVIDE TARGETED SKILL BASED SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION WHILE CONDUCTING PRE AND POST ASSESSMENTS.

ADDITIONALLY, THIS MODEL PROMOTES THE ASSETS, PREPARATION AND PLANNING OF SKILL FOCUSED LESSONS TO ACCELERATE THE LEARNING OF KEY FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS.

[02:15:05]

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE ADDITION OF ASSETS AT ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITES, GIVEN THE ADDED SUPPORT AND INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION THEY'LL PROVIDE TO OUR STUDENTS OF HIGHEST NEED, ALL WHILE SERVING TO PROMOTE GROWTH AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.

GIVEN THE NEW LEGISLATION REQUIRES ONLY ONE OF TWO ADULTS IN THE CLASSROOM OF 24 STUDENTS TO BE FULLY, FULLY CERTIFIED.

TC TEACHER.

THIS PLAN ACTUALLY SURPASSES THE REQUIREMENT.

WE'LL BE SHARING MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT OUR ASD PROGRAM, INCLUDING THE SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC GAINS STUDENTS HAVE ACHIEVED THUS FAR AT AN UPCOMING BOARD MEETING.

IN CLOSING, WE'RE EAGER ABOUT THE PROSPECTS OF THESE CHANGES TO OUR TC PROGRAM PROMISE FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR FOUR YEAR OLDS, AS WELL AS OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO OFFER THE QUALITY TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM THAT HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH PRIDE TO PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA.

I'M HAPPY AT THIS TIME TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT OUR PLAN.

YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

LOOKING UNDER THE ON THE SLIDE, THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE BREAKDOWN OF OUR PRESCHOOL AND TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMS. AND IT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FEE BASED PRESCHOOL THAT'S AT LINDA VISTA.

AND I GUESS I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING FOR THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE THE STATE PRESCHOOLS AT FIVE CAMPUSES CURRENTLY.

THOSE ARE SERVING THE AGES THREE, FOUR AND FIVE YEARS OF AGE.

ONCE WE BEGIN THIS, HOW HOW DOES THAT WORK IN TERMS OF THE STUDENTS THAT WHEN THEY REACH THE RIGHT MILESTONE BIRTH DATE WISE IN THE AGE FOR BRACKET, ARE THEY NO LONGER IN THOSE PROGRAMS AND THEREFORE THEY THEY WILL GO INTO THE PROGRAM THAT WE WILL HAVE, BECAUSE IN THE PAST, PARENTS HAVE HAD A CHOICE, I BELIEVE.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. THAT THEY'VE HAD A CHOICE OF MAINLY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T OFFERED I MEAN, T.K., I MEAN, THE FACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING FOUR YEAR OLDS AS OF SEPTEMBER 1ST, THAT WE'LL BE OFFERING THE CURRICULUM TO THEM, IS IS THAT'S GOING TO BE NEW, RIGHT, IN THREE YEARS TIME.

AND SO THE REQUIREMENT, THE LEGISLATION DOES REQUIRE STUDENTS AT THAT AGE TO BE ENROLLED IN K.

SO THE CHOICE WILL NO LONGER BE EXISTING.

SO IT WILL NOT BE A CHOICE ANY LONGER.

SO THAT WILL ALTER THOSE PRESENT THE STATE AS WELL AS THE PROGRAM THAT IS AT LINDA VISTA, CORRECT? YES. OKAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION TO FOLLOW UP IS, DO YOU THINK THAT LINDA VISTA THEN WILL TRANSITION INTO MORE OF A CHILD CARE ROLE OR.

BECAUSE IT'S ONLY HALF DAY.

RIGHT. IT IS. BUT AND AGAIN, WE YOU KNOW, WE MAY BE LOOKING INTO YOUNGER, YOUNGER AGES.

YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY IT'S IT'S THREE YEAR OLDS.

BUT WE KNEW WE'D HAVE THAT ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, EXTEND AND AND GO BEYOND.

BUT AT THE SAME THE SAME TOKEN, IT WOULD JUST OPEN UP MORE ADDITIONAL SPACES FOR, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO, UH, SERVE MORE STUDENTS WHO ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF THREE AND UM, RIGHT BEFORE THEY TURN FOUR AS WELL.

BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEED FOR, YOU KNOW, BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL CARE AND A HALF DAY PROGRAM.

RIGHT. AND WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO EXPAND THOSE SERVICES AS WELL.

ABSOLUTELY. I SEE YOU SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT.

YES. THANK YOU.

I HAD A QUESTION REGARDING THE ASD AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE VERSUS AN RSP.

SO DO WE STILL HAVE RSPS ON CAMPUS AND ARE THEY ON OUR RSP? YES, WE DO OUR RSP SERVICE STUDENTS THROUGH AN IEP.

HOWEVER, SO STUDENTS HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TO GET TO BE SERVICED BY AN AND OR A RESOURCE TEACHER.

AND OUR AIST IS ARE SIMPLY INTERVENTION TEACHERS AND THEY ARE ABLE TO SERVE US AND WORK WITH ALL STUDENTS JUST BASED ON THEIR ON NEED AND BASED ON THEIR ACADEMIC SCORES.

IT'S A QUANTITATIVE TWO ONE LEVEL INTERVENTION, CORRECT? YES. SO THEY'LL SPEND THEIR MORNING, THEIR FIRST HALF OF THE DAY WORKING IN THE K CLASS AND THEN THEY'LL PUSH OUT INTO THE REST OF THE SCHOOL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.

THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THEY'D BE IN THE TC CLASS DURING THE OVERLAP TIME, WHICH IS TYPICALLY SORT OF MIDDAY ANYWAY BETWEEN 930 AND 10:00 AROUND THAT TIME.

AND SO THEY'D BE THERE FOR THAT, THOSE 90 MINUTES OF OVERLAP TIME, BUT THEN THE REMAINING TIME BEFORE AND AFTER THEY'D BE SERVICING ANY OF THE GRADE LEVELS AND STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

AND I'M SORRY, I MISSPOKE.

IT'S REALLY IT'S CONSIDERED A TIER ONE, TIER TWO INTERVENTION BECAUSE IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING WITH SMALL GROUPS OF STUDENTS.

SO BUT AGAIN, ANY STUDENTS WHO REQUIRE IT AT ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND THAT WOULD BE BASED ON THE TEACHER ASSESSMENT.

[02:20:03]

I THINK THAT'S GREAT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT THAT HAS LOOKED LIKE SO FAR AND THE PLANS.

RIGHT. OKAY.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

[GENERAL FUNCTIONS]

SO WE HAVE OUR SECOND READING OF OUR NEXT BOARD POLICY.

SO WE COULD START WITH A FIRST AND A SECOND AND THEN ANY NOTES.

YES, PLEASE. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT BOARD POLICY SIX ONE FOR FOUR CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES.

SECOND, READING A SECOND.

OKAY. AND DR.

ELSASSER, IF YOU'LL GIVE US MORE INFO.

AS YOU KNOW, THE BOARD PERIODICALLY REVIEWS UPDATES AND OR DEVELOPS POLICY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW OR ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THE DISTRICT AS SUCH, INCLUDED ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT UNDER GENERAL FUNCTIONS IS THE SECOND READING OF BOARD POLICY.

6144 CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

AS A REMINDER, THIS POLICY IS BEING BROUGHT FORWARD AT THE REQUEST OF SOME TRUSTEES AND AT THE GUIDANCE OF OUR GENERAL COUNSEL.

MR. TODD ROBBINS.

THE BOARD RECOGNIZES THAT THE DISTRICT'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM MAY SOMETIMES INCLUDE INSTRUCTION RELATED TO CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES.

THE BOARD EXPECTS TEACHERS, STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS TO EXERCISE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT WHEN DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT A PARTICULAR ISSUE IS SUITABLE FOR STUDY OR DISCUSSION IN CONSULTATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE AS NECESSARY.

THE POLICY BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING OUTLINES GUIDANCE FOR EMPLOYEES PROVIDING INSTRUCTION RELATED TO A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE.

IT ALSO REFLECTS MUCH OF THE BOARD'S SUGGESTED CHANGES FOLLOWING THE FIRST READING OF THE POLICY AT THE BOARD MEETING IN MAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS ITEM.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I JUST HAVE ONE A NUMBER FOR THE VERY LAST PART OF THE SENTENCE.

THERE'S TWO ORS OR BULLYING OR OTHERWISE UNLAWFUL.

AND I JUST RECOMMEND WE SCRATCH THE FIRST DOOR.

SO SEMANTICS REALLY.

OR BEFORE THE WORD BULLYING IN THE LAST LINE OF NUMBER FOUR? YES. SO HARASSMENT, THREATS, INTIMIDATION, BULLYING, OR AS OTHERWISE UNLAWFUL.

THAT'S THE ONLY NOTE I HAVE.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

[EDUCATIONAL SERVICES]

IF WE COULD START WITH THE MOTION IN A SECOND AND THEN WE'LL PASS IT ON.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN FOR THE 2020 223 FISCAL YEAR SECOND.

OKAY. AND MR. GIRARD. I'M SORRY, DR.

ADAMSON, I'M PASSING IT BACK TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO THANK EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS THESE PAST TWO MONTHS SINCE OUR STUDY SESSION.

IN REVIEWING AND PROVIDING SUGGESTIONS FOR PLACENTA, YOUR BLENDER'S LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS EL AL CAPP, AMENDED THE DOCUMENT TO INCLUDE THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED FROM EACH OF YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR THOROUGH AND DETAILED REVIEW OF THE PLAN.

THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT, AS WELL AS THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND DATA PROFILE, WERE POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH WITH A LINK TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AND SPECIFIC FEEDBACK, THUS ENSURING OUR PLAN IS AS COMPREHENSIVE AS POSSIBLE AND INCLUDES AND REPRESENTS THE VOICES OF ALL OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS.

WE'VE SINCE PROVIDED EACH OF YOU A COPY OF THE UPDATED GOALS AND ACTIONS FOR FOCUS AREAS 1.03 THROUGH 4.0 THAT REFLECT YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.

ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK AND INPUT FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

WE'RE PLEASED, THEREFORE, TO PRESENT THE COMPLETE AND FINALIZED EL CARE PLAN FOR THE 2223 SCHOOL YEAR FOR YOUR FINAL APPROVAL TONIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS? NOW. THE ONLY ONE I HAD WAS A GREAT JOB AND COMPLETING IT, READING EVERYTHING.

I WAS JUST LIKE, OH MY GOD, THE HOURS THAT GO INTO IT.

AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF ADS, SO THANK TO EVERYBODY WHO WORKED ON IT.

THANK YOU. I SECOND THAT.

UM. OKAY SO WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO AND NOW WE'RE AT BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL.

[BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL]

FOR THE NEXT BUDGET I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2022 TO 23 ADOPTED BUDGET.

I'LL SECOND. CORRECT.

AND MR. GIORDANO, IF YOU'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.

TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO VIEW WITH YOU OUR 2223 ADOPTED BUDGET.

AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE STATE'S FISCAL OUTLOOK.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO COVER I THINK WE'VE LOST A.

AND SECOND HERE.

[02:25:04]

IT WOULD BE MY LUCK.

A BRIEF PAUSE WHILE WE REBOOT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF IT WORKS.

IT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN AT ALL.

I GUESS WE DON'T GET TO APPROVE THE BUDGET.

OKAY. I'M JUST KIDDING.

YES, I MEAN THAT WE ALL DO VERY GOOD SCORES AND MATH AND WE TRUST YOU IMPLICITLY.

IS IT GOOD? ARE WE GOING TO BE GOOD? WE ADOPTED BUDGET AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE STATE'S FISCAL OUTLOOK AS WELL AS THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION PROPOSAL FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

THE ADOPTED BUDGET REPRESENTS OUR PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2223, AND IT ALSO INCORPORATES ALL THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THE REPORTS BASED ON OUR LATEST FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.

IT ALSO CONTAINS OUR ESTIMATED ACTUAL EXPENDITURES FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

SO MOVE IT ON TO.

THE STATE FISCAL OUTLOOK.

SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT.

FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO BE WITH YOU. THE STATE'S CURRENT FISCAL YEAR OUTLOOK, AS WELL AS THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION PROPOSAL FOR NEXT YEAR, FOLLOWED BY A REVIEW OF THE DISTRICT'S 2223 PROPOSED BUDGET AND MULTIYEAR PROJECTION.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO COVER THE STATE AND FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS RECEIVED.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE'RE GOING TO WRAP IT UP WITH A REVIEW OF OUR BUDGET TIMELINE.

AND SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE STATE'S CURRENT FISCAL YEAR OUTLOOK.

SO THE REVISION WAS RELEASED BACK ON MAY 13TH AND IT REFLECTS A DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT STATE REVENUE OUTLOOK FROM JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN THE GOVERNOR RELEASED HIS JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL.

SINCE THEN, THE BIG THREE STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS, WHICH INCLUDE PERSONAL INCOME, CORPORATION AND SALES TAXES, ARE UP $31 BILLION OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS ALONE. STATE REVENUES ARE UP AN UNPRECEDENTED 30% IN 2021, AN ADDITIONAL 20% IN THE CURRENT YEAR 2122.

AND BOTH THE LOS OFFICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE ARE FORECASTING MODEST REVENUE GROWTH THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD, AND THAT'S 25 TO 26.

OF COURSE, THIS REPRESENTS POSITIVE NEWS FOR K 12 EDUCATION, WITH THE PROPOSITION 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE UP AN ESTIMATED $19.6 BILLION, AND THAT'S FOR FISCAL YEARS, 2021 THROUGH THE BUDGET YEAR 22 TO 23.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO BOTH THE STATE AND THE NATIONAL ECONOMIES MOVING FORWARD.

AND SOME OF THE KEY RISKS INCLUDE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, LOW CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF FEDERAL MONETARY POLICY, AND A RISING INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS THE WAR IN UKRAINE.

AND WITH CALIFORNIA'S PROGRESSIVE TAX STRUCTURE, THERE'S DEFINITELY AN INCREASED RISK OF REVENUE REDUCTIONS AND A RISING RISK, RISING INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT.

AND THERE ARE MANY ECONOMISTS THAT DO BELIEVE THE CURRENT ECONOMIC EXPANSION IS UNLIKELY TO CONTINUE WITH FEARS OF A NATIONAL RECESSION GROWING.

SO THIS NEXT CHART AND IT'S THE CHART THAT YOU SEE OUR STATE REVENUES.

IT'S TITLED. SO THIS CHART HIGHLIGHTS THE STATE REVENUE ESTIMATES THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER.

AND FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, STATE REVENUES ARE UP OVER $45 BILLION SINCE THE STATE BUDGET WAS ADOPTED BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR, JUNE OF 2021, OR ROUGHLY $31. BILLION INCREASE SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR ALONE.

UNFORTUNATELY, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THERE ARE SOME MAJOR RISKS TO THE CURRENT ECONOMIC EXPANSION AS WELL AS THE STATE'S BUDGET OUTLOOK.

IN THE NEAR TERM, THE MOST IMMEDIATE THREAT OR RISK IS A FEAR OF PROLONGED INFLATION.

AND IF INFLATION WERE TO PERSIST, THE FEDERAL RESERVE WILL LIKELY NEED TO CONTINUE TO RAISE INTEREST RATES, WHICH COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER NATIONAL RECESSION.

[02:30:19]

SO THERE'S A CHANCE THAT THE GOVERNORS MAY REVISION PROPOSAL FOR NEXT YEAR 2223 AND THEN MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

AS A RESULT OF THE RISING COST PRESSURES.

THE MAY REVISION INCLUDES A STATUTORY COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT OF 6.56% UNDER AN LCV FUNDING FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

ADDITIONALLY, THE GOVERNOR IS PROPOSING A $2.1 BILLION AUGMENTATION IN ONGOING LCF BASED FUNDING OF APPROXIMATELY 3.3%, AND THEN CERTAIN CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE FUNDED OUTSIDE THE LCF WILL ALSO RECEIVE THAT STATUTORY GOAL OF 6.56% FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND THOSE PROGRAMS INCLUDE OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM, CHILD NUTRITION AND THE MANDATE BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM.

AND THEN ANOTHER KEY COMPONENT OF THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION IS AN $8 BILLION ALLOCATION IN ONE TIME DISCRETIONARY FUNDING.

THAT'S ESTIMATED AT $5,500 PER STUDENT.

AND IF THIS ONE TIME FUNDING IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE STATE'S FINAL ADOPTED BUDGET ACT, OUR STAFF WILL UPDATE OUR BUDGET ACCORDINGLY.

SO THIS NEXT NEXT SLIDE WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE TITLE OF THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET VERSUS THE MAY REVISION.

AND SO THIS CHART HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL AND HIS MAY REVISE.

AND AS WE SHARED PREVIOUSLY, THE PROPOSITION 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE HAS INCREASED BY 19.6 BILLION.

THAT'S FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 THROUGH 2223.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S JUST SINCE JANUARY OF THIS PAST YEAR.

AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A $2.8 BILLION INCREASE IN LCV FUNDING, AND THAT'S DUE IN LARGE PART TO THAT SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STATE REVENUES THIS YEAR AND THE $2.1 BILLION AUGMENTATION THAT'S PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR AS PART OF HIS MAY REVISION.

AND THEN THIS SLIDE ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE INCREASE IN THE STATUTORY COLA THAT WAS ESTIMATED AT 5.33% BACK IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.

IT'S NOW BEEN REVISED UP TO 6.56% AS OF THE MAY REVISION.

SO MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO THE MAY REVISE ALSO INCLUDES A NUMBER OF OTHER INITIATIVES THAT WERE PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR.

AND THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS A COUPLE OF THOSE KEY INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT FUNDING CLIFF THAT WAS TRIGGERED BY THE PANDEMIC.

A GOVERNOR MAINTAINS HIS JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE LCF CALCULATION AND THIS IS TO ALLOW DISTRICTS TO UTILIZE THE GREATER CURRENT YEAR PRIOR YEAR OR THE AVERAGE OF THREE PRIOR YEARS.

ADA REVISION ALSO INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL ALLOCATION AND ONGOING FUNDING NEXT YEAR, AND THIS IS FOR THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM, AND THIS BRINGS TOTAL ONGOING FUNDING TO $4.8 EXCUSE ME, $4.8 BILLION IN 2223 AND FUNDING IS ESTIMATED AT $2,500 PER DUPLICATED PUPIL.

AND THESE FUNDS MUST BE USED TO PROVIDE BEFORE SCHOOL, AFTER SCHOOL, SUMMER AND INTERSESSION LEARNING PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS.

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE LEGISLATURE DID APPROVE A PLACEHOLDER BUDGET BACK ON JUNE 13TH, AND THE FINAL BUDGET IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROVED SOMETIME BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH, AND THAT'S AFTER THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON A FINAL BUDGET DEAL.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES THAT OCCURRED SINCE THE SECOND REPORT WAS APPROVED BACK IN MARCH.

AND THAT IS TITLED KEY CHANGES SINCE THE SECOND INTERIM.

SO IN THIS CHART YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL AS THE CALPERS AND THE CALSTRS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATE ESTIMATES FOR EACH OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

IN ADDITION TO THE COLA NEXT YEAR, A PROJECTED COLAS IN BOTH 23, 24 AND 2425 HAVE BEEN REVISED UPWARD AS WELL.

REGARDING THE CALPERS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATE ESTIMATES, THE RATE DECREASE FROM 26.1% IN JANUARY TO 25.37% IN MAY, AND THAT'S FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND LIKEWISE, THE CALPERS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATE ESTIMATES ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE SLIGHTLY IN EACH OF THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS WELL.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE CALSTRS EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION RATE ESTIMATES REMAIN UNCHANGED AT 19.1% OVER THE THREE YEAR FORECAST PERIOD.

HOWEVER, WHEN WE COMPARE TO LAST YEAR, THE CALPERS RATES ARE SET TO INCREASE FROM 22.91% IN 2122 TO 25.37% IN THE BUDGET YEAR 2223.

AND THE CALSTRS RATES ARE ALSO SET TO INCREASE FROM 16.92% IN 2122 TO 19.1% AND 20 TO 23.

AND NEXT, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE ADDITIONAL STATE AND FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING THAT OUR DISTRICTS RECEIVED.

[02:35:03]

PAGE EIGHT ON YOUR HANDOUT.

SO THIS NEXT SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE STATE COVID 19 FUNDING ALLOCATIONS THAT OUR DISTRICT RECEIVED TOTALING 25.3 MILLION.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART, WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 2.2 MILLION LAST FISCAL YEAR AND ANTICIPATE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY 15.7 MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR.

THE REMAINING BALANCE OF 7.4 MILLION IS BUDGETED IN 2223, AND THEN ANY FUNDS REMAINING AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR WILL BE CARRIED FORWARD AND SPENT BY THE EXPENDITURE DEADLINE.

SO MOVING ON TO THE TOP OF PAGE NUMBER NINE.

THANK YOU, MR. LOPEZ.

THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING ALLOCATIONS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 51.7 MILLION.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART, WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 22.8 MILLION LAST FISCAL YEAR AND ANTICIPATE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY $12 MILLION IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AND OF THE REMAINING BALANCE IN ESSER, THREE FUNDS, 10.2 MILLION IS BUDGETED IN 22 TO 23, AND THE REMAINING BALANCE OF 6.7 MILLION IS BUDGETED IN 2324.

AND THE NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE USE TO BUILD THIS ADAPTIVE BUDGET.

AND THAT'S ON THE TOP OF PAGE NUMBER TEN OF YOUR HANDOUT.

SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE INCLUDED THE BUDGET YEAR 22, 23, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE COLA TONIGHT, THE STATUTORY COLA AND THE AUGMENTATION.

REGARDING DISTRICT ENROLLMENT, WE ARE FORECASTING CONTINUED DECLINES IN ENROLLMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 380 STUDENTS EACH IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THE FUNDING PROJECTIONS WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTION HERE IN A BIT.

STEP AND COLUMN COSTS ARE ALSO ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR ADOPTED BUDGETS.

SO IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT OUR SACS REPORTS, YOU WILL SEE THE INCREASED COST FOR STEP AND COLUMN FOR ALL OF OUR CLASSIFIED CERTIFICATED AND MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES.

AND IF YOU WERE TO DRILL DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OF OUR STATUTORY LINE ITEMS, YOU'D SEE THE INCREASED COST FOR CALSTRS AND CALPERS PENSIONS AS WELL REGARDING HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PREMIUMS. THOSE ARE EXPECTED TO GO UP 5.2% NEXT FISCAL YEAR AND THAT'S BASED ON OUR FINAL NEGOTIATED RATES WITH ALL OF OUR HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PROVIDERS.

IF YOU LOOK AT 23, 24 AND 24, 25, WE'RE FORECASTING A 6% INCREASE AND THAT'S BASED ON INCREASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF NATIONAL TREND.

SO MOVING ON TO OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION.

SO THIS MULTI-YEAR PROJECTION THAT WE SEE HERE ON THE TOP OF PAGE 11, WHAT THAT SHOWS YOU, THAT FIRST COLUMN OR 2122 ESTIMATED ACTUALS.

THIS IS HOW WE PROJECT TO CLOSE OUT THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

AND SO WE'LL BE, OF COURSE, CLOSING THE BOOKS.

AND IN SEPTEMBER, WE'LL PRESENT OUR ACTUALS TO THE BOARD AT THAT TIME.

BUT THIS IS OUR BEST GUESS OF HOW WE WILL CLOSE OUT THE BOOKS.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE'RE FORECASTING A SURPLUS OF $4.4 MILLION.

THAT SURPLUS, THOUGH, DOES INCLUDE A NUMBER OF ONE TIME ADJUSTMENTS.

AND SO WHEN WE BACK OUT THOSE ONE TIME ADJUSTMENTS, WE'RE LEFT WITH APPROXIMATELY A 200,000 SURPLUS IN THE CURRENT YEAR.

WHEN YOU GO OUT TO 2223, YOU CAN SEE THAT SURPLUS, OPERATING SURPLUS INCREASES TO 7.5 MILLION.

THAT SURPLUS ALSO INCLUDES ONE TIME EXPENDITURES.

WE BACK OUT THOSE ONE TIME EXPENDITURES.

WE'RE LEFT WITH A STRUCTURAL SURPLUS IN THE BUDGET YEAR OF APPROXIMATELY $10.7 MILLION.

AND THEN WHEN WE GOT TO 23, 24, THAT SURPLUS INCREASES AGAIN THE PROJECTION TO 13.3 MILLION AND THEN DROPS IN 24, 25 TO 10.9 MILLION.

AND THE REASON FOR THE REDUCTION IN 2425, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DETAILS BEHIND OUR EXPENDITURES, EXPENDITURES ARE INCREASING FASTER THAN REVENUES THAT YEAR AND THAT'S PRIMARILY DUE TO DECLINES IN ENROLLMENT THAT WE EXPERIENCED OVER THE THREE YEAR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION.

SO THIS NEXT SLIDE, THIS TAKES A LOOK AT THAT SAME MULTIYEAR PROJECTION WE REVIEWED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

AND THIS JUST EXCLUDES ALL THE ONE TIME COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING THAT THE DISTRICT RECEIVED.

AND SO THIS ASSUMES THAT WE KEPT OUR EXPENDITURES AT THE SAME LEVEL, BUT WE BACK OUT ALL THE ONE TIME DOLLARS.

AND SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE FOR 21, 22, INSTEAD OF A $4.4 MILLION SURPLUS THAT WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, WE'D BE LOOKING AT A $23.3 MILLION DEFICIT WITHOUT ALL THAT ONE TIME DOLLARS.

SAME THING IN 2223.

INSTEAD OF A $7.5 MILLION OPERATING SURPLUS, WE'D BE LOOKING AT A $10.2 MILLION DEFICIT.

AND THEN IN 2324, THAT SURPLUS WOULD HAVE DROPPED AGAIN TO APPROXIMATELY 6.5 MILLION.

AND THEN AT THE END OF 23, 24, ALL THOSE ONE TIME DOLLARS HAVE BEEN EXPENDED.

[02:40:05]

IT MATCHES UP BECAUSE WE'VE EXPENDED ALL THOSE DOLLARS AT THAT POINT.

AND THEN THIS NEXT SLIDE TITLED 20 TO 23 COMPONENTS OF ANY FUND BALANCE.

THIS IS A PROJECTION OF HOW WE EXPECT TO CLOSE OUT NEXT FISCAL YEAR 2223.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE OUR COMBINED FUND BALANCE WE'RE PROJECTING TO COME IN AT JUST OVER 83 MILLION OF THAT, 61.9 MILLION IS SITTING IN OUR UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTS AND JUST OVER 21.1 MILLION IN OUR RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS.

WE ALSO HAVE THAT LEGALLY RESTRICTED RESERVE FOR CASH AND STORES SET ASIDE AT 260,000.

AND THEN IN THE CENTER OF THE SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE WE SET ASIDE RESERVES FOR OTHER COMMITMENTS AND YOU CAN SEE THEM LISTED HERE SITES AND SUPPLEMENTAL CARRYOVER, TEXTBOOK ADOPTIONS, DECLINING ENROLLMENT, DEFICIT MITIGATION.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE ALSO HAVE OUR LEGALLY RESTRICTED CARRYOVERS FOR ALL OUR CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS AT 21.1 MILLION.

AND THEN OUR CONTINGENCY RESERVE, WHICH LEAVES US WITH A RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES OF 5% OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET OR $17.3 MILLION.

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

AND THIS SLIDE TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AS A DISTRICT MOVING FORWARD.

AND SO THAT'S THE TOP OF PAGE NUMBER 13 IN YOUR HANDOUT.

SO COST INCREASES FOR STEP AND COLUMN, CALSTRS AND CALPERS PENSIONS AND HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO GO UP AND PLAY STRAINS ON SCHOOL DISTRICT OPERATING BUDGETS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE INFLATIONARY COST PRESSURES IN OTHER EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES FOR EXAMPLE, SUPPLIES, SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT, AND THOSE ARE GOING UP AS WELL.

AND ALTHOUGH THE ENROLLMENT FUNDING CLIFF WILL BE AVERTED NEXT YEAR, THE CFF FUNDING WILL BE REDUCED OVER OUR MULTIYEAR PROJECTION DUE TO THE ENROLLMENT DECLINES THAT WE EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC, AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL DECLINES THAT ARE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

AND OTHER CHALLENGES INCLUDE THE MANAGEMENT OF ALL THE ONE TIME STATE AND FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING, AS WELL AS THE VOLATILITY IN STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS.

AND THEN MOVING ON TO THE LAST SLIDE ON BOTTOM OF PAGE 13, THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE THREE PRIMARY COST DRIVERS THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL CONTINUE TO FACE IN THE COMING YEARS.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS, THIS CHART COST FOR STEP AND COLUMN MOVEMENT, PERSON SERVICE, PENSIONS AND HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS EXPECTED TO GO UP SLIGHTLY OVER 3% PER YEAR OVER THAT THREE YEAR FORECAST.

AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, AFTER ADJUSTMENTS FOR DECLINING ENROLLMENT OR LCF BASED FUNDING EXPECTED TO INCREASE THAT ROUGHLY 3.3% OVER THAT SAME THREE YEAR FORECAST. AND THEN MOVING ON TO OUR LAST SLIDE.

THE BUDGET TIMELINE IN ORDER TO MEET THAT JUNE 15TH CONSTITUTIONAL DEADLINE.

LEGISLATURE DID PASS A MAIN BUDGET BILL THAT WAS BACK ON JUNE 13TH, AND THE GOVERNOR HAS UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH TO SIGN THE FINAL APPROVED BUDGET.

OF COURSE, OUR STAFF WILL EVALUATE ANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION AND THE FINAL ADOPTED STATE BUDGET AND ANY CHANGES WILL BRING.

WE'LL BRING FORWARD TO THE BOARD FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION.

AND SO THAT WAS THE CONCLUSION OF THE PRESENTATION.

APOLOGIZE FOR THE THE VIDEO, BUT I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS. I'M SURE I HAVE LOTS OF THEM, BUT I'M JUST KIDDING.

NO. THIS IS GREAT, MRS. FREEMAN. I'LL JUST ASK.

ANY ANTICIPATION OF ANY CHANGES TO THE FAVOR OR TO THE POSITIVE, UH, FOR TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENTS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I KNOW IN THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION, THERE WASN'T ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING TARGETING TRANSPORTATION, BUT IN THE LEGISLATURE'S PROPOSAL THAT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED ON JUNE 13, THERE WAS FUNDING SET ASIDE FOR TRANSPORTATION.

AND AND SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT MAY GET NEGOTIATED IN OR OUT, DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY COME UP WITH A FINAL APPROVED STATE BUDGET.

BUT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FUNDING THAT WE DO RECEIVE.

IT REALLY IS JUST PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR.

AND SO EVEN IF IT WAS A COLA, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT START JUST TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

THAT'S A PROGRAM WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CALL ON AND IN DECADES.

SO IF WE COULD EVEN GET A COLA, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

BUT IF THEY WERE LOOKING AT ANY OTHER ENHANCEMENTS, YOU KNOW, FUNDING TRANSPORTATION COMPLETELY, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE A GREAT THING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SPECIAL EDUCATION.

YES. LATER ON, WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE OURSELF A FAN.

AND I BELIEVE THAT PULLING OUT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION COSTS ABOUT 60 MILLION.

[02:45:06]

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

YES, IT DOES.

IS THERE ANY.

I MEAN, I KNOW THEY'RE GIVING A COLA TO SPECIAL EDUCATION THIS YEAR, BUT IS THERE ANY OTHER.

YEAH. SO AS PART OF THE THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY PROPOSAL AND AS PART OF THE MAY REVISION, WHAT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN HERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE BASE RATE FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM, AND THAT'S UP TO THEY MOVED IT UP TO ABOUT $820 PER STUDENT.

SO THAT'S FACTORED INTO THE NUMBERS THAT WE PRESENTED AND SHARED TONIGHT.

SO WE DID GET THE COLA, BUT THERE WAS ALSO AN INCREASE IN THE AB 602 BASE RATE AS WELL.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACK THE LAST FEW YEARS, A COUPLE OF YEARS IN PARTICULAR, THEY HAVE MADE SOME AUGMENTATIONS TO SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING AT THE STATE LEVEL. THEY'VE DONE, I THINK, A GOOD JOB OF TRYING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

THAT'S STILL NOT SO MUCH.

I THINK THAT'S AN AREA IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE SOME ADDITIONAL MONIES TO COME IN TO HELP SUPPORT OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM, THINGS THAT THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS.

AND AND SO MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WE MIGHT GET SOME ADDITIONAL MONIES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HELP AS WELL.

BUT THE STATE, I THINK, HAS DONE A LITTLE BIT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE NEED SOME MORE SUPPORT THERE.

I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS, ABOUT 24 MILLION IS WHAT OUR DISTRICT CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE FROM OUR GENERAL FUND APPROXIMATELY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO WE WILL CALL FOR A VOTE ON THE 2020 223 BUDGET.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I AN OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

WHICH BRINGS US NEXT TO OUR EPA.

AND SO I'LL MR. GIORDANO PASSING IT BACK TO YOU.

YES. LET'S DO MOTION IN A SECOND.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2129 TO PROVE THE EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT FOR THE 2021 2022 FISCAL YEAR SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU. AND I'M GLAD I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS ONE.

SO IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, CALIFORNIA VOTERS APPROVED PROPOSITION NUMBER 30.

THIS INITIATIVE CREATES A STATE GENERAL FUND ACCOUNT TO RECEIVE AND DISPERSE THE INCREMENTAL TAXES ORIGINATING FROM PROPOSITION 30.

PROPOSITION 55, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS THIS WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016, CONTINUES THE INCOME TAXES INSTITUTED INSTITUTED BY PROPOSITION 30 THROUGH THE YEAR 2030.

AND THESE TAX REVENUES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE STATE'S EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT.

EACH YEAR, SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE HOW THE FUNDS FROM THE EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT ARE SPENT.

AND FOR 2122 STAFF ESTIMATES, IT WILL RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY 4.9 MILLION FROM THE STATE'S EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT.

AND ALL OF THESE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT ON CLASSROOM TEACHER SALARIES.

OKAY. MANY QUESTIONS.

OKAY, GREAT. SO THAT WILL TAKE A VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

AND THESE ACTIONS PROPOSED FOR THE CONSENT CALENDAR OR BLOCK VOTE ITEMS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PRACTICES OF THE DISTRICT.

SENATOR DEMERS, TINA NATURE SINCE TRUSTEES RECEIVED BOARD AGENDA BACKUP INFORMATION IN ADVANCE OF SCHEDULED MEETINGS, THEY'RE PREPARED TO VOTE WITH KNOWLEDGE ON THE BLOCK VOTE ITEMS. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT DR.

ELSASSER WOULD LIKE TO BUILD ON THE CONSENT AGENDA THIS EVENING UNDER EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENTS NUMBER FOUR AND UNDER SPECIAL EDUCATION CONTRACTS, NUMBER THREE.

SO IF YOUR NUMBERS ARE THIS, SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING IN YOUR AGENDA, PAGE 28.

NUMBER FOUR, WE'LL DELETE THAT.

DELETE NUMBER FOUR AND ON PAGE 31.

AND NUMBER THREE, WE'LL DELETE THAT.

OKAY. NOW.

SO LET'S START WITH.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY WANT TO PULL? I HAVE NOTHING. NO, I.

I WOULD LIKE TO PULL NUMBER 15.

AND SO THEN WITH THE REST, IF WE COULD DO A MOTION IN A SECOND, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

AND SO COMING BACK TO NUMBER 15, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AUTHORIZE THE USE OF SOUTHERN SOUTH COUNTY SUPPORT SERVICES AGENCY BID NUMBER 21221101 FOR THE PURCHASE OF SEVEN FULLY ELECTRIC BUSSES FROM CREATIVE BUS SALES INC EFFECTIVE JULY ONE, 2022

[02:50:10]

THAT, MRS. FREEMAN. YES.

OKAY. AND I'M I ONLY WANTED TO PULL THIS BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE NOTE OF IT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE BRINGING IN SEVEN BUSSES THAT ARE ALL ELECTRIC, AND THE TOTAL COST TO OUR DISTRICT IS $0.07.

SO THE GRANTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE OUT THERE THAT WERE ABLE TO, TO, TO RECEIVE AND TO GET TO TO CHANGE OUT SOME OF OUR BUSSES SO THAT THEY'RE MORE ECONOMICAL SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE GAS COSTS, COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT THING TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE'RE GETTING SEVEN BUSSES FOR $0.07.

SO. ROLLING BLACKOUTS.

GET A LITTLE SOLAR PANEL.

ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT, WE CAN TAKE A VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[FUTURE BOARD AGENDA ITEMS]

NO, I HAVE NOTHING. OKAY.

THAT'S NOTHING.

I DON'T I DON'T HAVE IT'S NOT REALLY A FUTURE BOARD AGENDA ITEM, BUT I DID HAVE SOMETHING FOR US JUST TO DISCUSS OR HOW WOULD WE DO THIS? WE CAN'T DISCUSS IT, BUT YOU COULD MAYBE I CAN BRING IT UP.

SO I WAS AFTER THE SCHOOL SHOOTING AND SCHOOL SAFETY ISSUES.

I WENT AND SPOKE WITH THE POLICE CAPTAIN FOR YORBA LINDA, AND I ASKED HIM ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY AND THE PLANS THEY HAVE IN PLACE.

AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IF HE CAME AND SPOKE WITH US AT A BOARD MEETING.

THE ISSUE IS THAT HE ATTENDS ALL THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND THEY'RE ALL ON TUESDAYS OR TWO TUESDAYS, SO THEY ALWAYS FALL ON US.

SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE IS HE CAN MAKE THE AUGUST 9TH AND HE COULD TELL.

YOU KNOW, HE COULD HE HAS SOMETHING PREPARED THAT HE CAN TELL ALL THE PARENTS AND STAFF AND THEN PEOPLE WATCHING AT HOME THEIR PLAN FOR SCHOOL SAFETY, FOR ACTIVE SHOOTERS, FOR ANY SAFETY CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE.

AND HE HAS APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO GIVE THIS THING BEFORE HE HAS TO HIGHTAIL IT OVER TO CITY COUNCIL AT 630.

SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE IS ON AUGUST 9TH, IF WE COULD DO CLOSED SESSION AT FIVE AND THEN START AT SIX AND THEN LET HIM DO HIS PRESENTATION PRETTY MUCH IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE GO THROUGH THE AGENDA APPROVALS AND LET HIM GIVE IT AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

OKAY. SO I'LL.

IS THERE CONSENSUS TO HEAR FROM THE POLICE? I'M INTERESTED.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, CAN WE CHANGE WHAT IS A SET TIME FOR OUR STANDARD OPEN MEETINGS? WE'RE ABLE TO WITH NO BOTTLENECK PROBLEM, AND WE'LL LOOK TO MAKE SURE AND IF WE NEED TO CHANGE THE TIME AND THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD, WE CAN DO IT AS AN ACTION ITEM TO CHANGE. WE COULD ALSO DO A STUDY, MAKE IT INTO A STUDY SESSION.

THAT'S THE POINT. MAYBE WE COULD DO IT THAT WAY.

WELL, CAUSE THEN I WAS THINKING.

THEN YOU COULD ALSO BRING SUCH A POLICE DEPARTMENT.

YEAH, WE DO HAVE. BECAUSE WE HAVE MULTIPLE.

YEAH, WE HAVE ANAHEIM TOO.

AND THE COUNTY, WHICH OF COURSE, THAT'S GONNA BE YORBA LINDA ANYWAY.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS CONSENSUS TO HEAR FROM THEM.

SO IF YOU'LL PASS THAT ALONG TO DR.

MATHEWS AND HELP COORDINATE SOMEHOW.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MR. ANDERSON. ALL RIGHT.

AND I HAVE NOTHING AS WELL.

SO I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

I'LL SECOND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR BY AN OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO.

WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 10:04 P.M..

GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY.
