SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS JUST OR SET UP PERIOD TODAY WE DID A SPECTACULAR JOB WITH THAT THERE WERE VERY FEW STUDENTS WAITING TO GET THEIR SCHEDULE PROBLEMS FIXED. IT WAS GREAT. UM OPPORTUNITIES ENJOYED MY TIME WITH CRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL AT THE CAMP SCHOOL OF HER COMMENTS ABOUT HERE, UM, I'VE HAD THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH MANY CRAMER STUDENTS AND STAFF TO ATTEND THEIR CLASSES AND ALSO SPEAK WITH TEACHERS AS WELL. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH THE POSITIVITY AND THE SPIRIT THAT I WITNESSED HERE. UM I LEARNED THAT NO OTHER SCHOOL HAS AS MANY PEOPLE REQUESTING TO TRANSFER IN, AS CRAMER DOES FULLY HAD THE POPULATION IS THERE BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE CRAMER AND REQUEST TO CRAMER GATE MAGNET. THEY HAD A LOT OF ACTIVITIES ALREADY FOR THE WHERE EVERYONE BELONGS, A CLUB THAT MADE EVERY NEW STUDENT WELCOME THERE.

[COMMUNICATIONS AND BOARD REPORT]

ENGAGEMENT OR NOT ENGAGEMENT, PUTTING NEW TECHNOLOGY INTO SOME OF OUR CLASSROOMS AND THE PHYSICAL ADJUSTMENTS THAT HAD TO BE MADE FOR THAT. IN SOME CASES, THERE'S BEEN ROOFING, REMODELING , PAINTING, REPAIRING RESURFACING AND PLENTY MORE. UM I, BY THIS POINT OF BEEN TO JUST SLIGHTLY OVER HALF OF OUR CAMPUSES JUST IN THE EARLY PART OF EACH DAY. UM AND I KNOW WHEN I DROPPED IN THE GLENVIEW I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THEIR NEW COUNTER THERE, AS I HAVE DONE SOME REMODELING THERE AND IN THE OFFICE IS YOU GO IN, UM IT WAS ALMOST FINISHED, AND I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY FINISHED OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND. UM BUT TO SAY THE LEAST EVERYONE'S BEEN REALLY BUSY. WHATEVER THE ROLE IS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THAT, UM, THINGS JUST DON'T GO QUIET IN THE SUMMER. FAR FROM IT GETS VERY BUSY. AS I SAID, I'M SLOWLY MAKING MY WAY AROUND TO ALL THE SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT, WHICH ALWAYS TRY TO DO AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR. JUST GO IN BRIEFLY. WHAT'S HAPPENING, SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE HOW THEY'VE SURVIVED THOSE FIRST FEW DAYS AND SO FORTH. UM SO FAR IT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE AS YOU SAID, VERY POSITIVE, UPBEAT TYPE OF TONE. UM PRETTY SMOOTH. IT WOULD SEEM, WHICH IS GOOD TO HEAR EVERYONE'S REALLY EAGER TO BE BACK ON THE STUDENTS , THE STAFF THE PARENTS, OF COURSE, BUT EVERYONE'S REALLY, REALLY EAGER TO BE BACK, AND IT'S A REALLY GOOD FEELING VERY OPTIMISTIC. UM ALSO, UM. ONE OF THE THINGS I SAW WAS THAT WAS FUN AND NEW TO ME, BUT THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW SEASONS.

BUT WHEN I DROPPED BY MABEL PAIN THEY WERE DOING IN THE UPPER GRADES. THEY WERE DOING A BOOK TASTING, SO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO SEE THAT, AND BASICALLY IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS TO JUST, UM, TRY DIFFERENT GENRES OF BOOKS. WE ALL HAVE OUR FAVORITES THAT

[00:25:01]

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE WAS WALKING OVER TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF, AND SO IT'S REALLY NICE OF HER TO DO THAT OUTREACH UNIFORM WAS SHE HAD HER UNIFORM , BUT STILL WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE MOVING STUDENTS, AND YOU KNOW IT'S BUT THAT WAS GREAT. UM FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE BRAVE AND DEDICATED AND ATTENDED THE BELL GAME. WERE YOU THERE? WE ALL CAME HOME WENT, UM, BUT THAT STADIUM WAS PRETTY PRETTY FULL. UM AND FRIDAY NIGHT WAS VERY WET . UM AND, UM, I SEE ERIN BACK THERE, BUT A FEW SHOUTS WILL PROBABLY GO UP. BUT ELDORADO IS KEEPING THE BELL. FOR ANOTHER YEAR. UM BUT IT WAS. IT WAS A REALLY, REALLY GOOD GAME AND KUDOS TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING ALL THE CERTAINLY THOSE IN THE STANDS, BUT OUR OUR OUR BANDS AND OUR CHEERLEADER STAFF AND OTHERS, EVERYONE. UM IT WAS IT WAS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER FOR A LOT OF REASONS. BUT IT WAS AGAIN WORTH IT. UM INVOLVED IN THE LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN YORBA LINDA, BECAUSE WE HAVE AS PART OF OUR MISSION TO EDUCATE. UM AND WE DO TRY TO GET OUR THIRD GRADERS IN WHEN WE NOW CAN RESUME OUR FIELD TRIPS OVER THERE TO THE MUSEUM. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF COVID. LIKE MANY PLACES, WE HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN DOING TOO MUCH. THE MUSEUM AT THE EAST END OF YOUR BELINDA, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A GRAND OPENING THIS SATURDAY AT THE RANCH FROM TWO PM AND IF YOU GO TO THE VERY END IF YOU'VE GOT A VERY END OF LA PALMA PAST THE FIRE STATION, TURN LEFT, TURN LEFT AGAIN AND POMEGRANATE AND LEFT AGAIN. YOU'RE RIGHT THERE, AND SO, UM, IT IS A PLACE THAT HAS A LOT OF THINGS PERTAINING, OF COURSE TO YOUR BELINDA.

SUMMER ARTIFACTS OR OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE KIND OF TOTAL, BUT I JUST THOUGHT I'D SHOW AS I SAID , AS WE GET GOING THIS YEAR. WE HOPE TO RESUME HAVING THE THIRD GRADERS COME INTO, UM SEE MORE ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY. UM I JUST WANT TO ALSO WELCOME YOU, LUCY HAIR. AND I WANT TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING THE SAME THING THAT HAS BEEN SAID THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS REALLY MADE IT HAPPENED AS WE THREW IT FROM THE DOORS THIS SCHOOL YEAR. UM I KNOW NUTRITION SERVICES, OR I THINK SERVING A LOT MORE BREAKFAST THAN THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. THERE'S JUST SO MUCH GOING ON, BUT EVERYONE'S DOING WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO NEED TO DO AND WANT TO DO. AND THANK YOU ALL. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. HMM. SO I WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT WAS THE TESTING EMPLOYEES BECAUSE I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THE TEST THE EMPLOYEES I WILL NOT HAVE TO BE TESTED ANYMORE, AND SO THANK YOU. I WILL SAY THANK YOU TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM FOR THAT, UM FOR THE REPRIEVE THAT OUR EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE WITH THE WEEKLY TESTING. UM ANOTHER THING THAT I WAS THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO. I THINK IT WAS THE END OF THE SUMMER LEAGUE PROGRAM FOR VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL , AND I DIDN'T NOTICE IN THE SMALLER GYM THAT THE SCOREBOARDS ARE NOT WORKING. AND SO IT'S JUST CURIOUS IF WE CAN MAYBE CHECK THAT OUT, AND I'M LOOKING AT YOU DOWN. THERE MAY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT. SO AH, BUT IF WE CAN GET THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE COMPLAINT WAS AT FIRST HOW HOT IT WAS THERE BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE OPEN AND IT IS AWFULLY HOT, ESPECIALLY AS THE WEATHER HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HOT. BUT WHAT I DID NOTICE WAS THAT THE SCOREBOARDS DIDN'T WORK. AND SO THEY'VE BEEN HAVING TO USE THE FLIP THAT AND SO I WAS ABLE TO TALK. AND THEY SAID IT'S BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR, UM, QUITE A LITTLE WHILE. SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD GET THAT SCOREBOARD WORKING SO THEY CAN REALLY UTILIZE THE SMALLER GYM FOR TOURNAMENTS FOR GAMES. AND, UM I GUESS GET OUR MONEY'S WORTH. ANOTHER THING, TOO. I'VE NOTICED JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TWO BOYS IN THE DISTRICT THAT PLAYS SPORTS. I'M VERY, VERY THANKFUL NOT ONLY FOR THE TEACHERS IN THIS DISTRICT AND LIKE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT ALSO TO THESE SPORTS COACHES. I KNOW ONE OF MY SONS WAS OUT AT THE FIELD FOR FOOTBALL. OVER AT ESPERANZA EVERY MORNING AT 5 30 DURING THE SUMMER, AND SO SINCE HE DOESN'T DRIVE YET I WAS AT FIELD TO 5 30 . SO WAS MY CHOCOLATE LABRADOR.

SHE USUALLY CAME ALONG FOR THE RIDE. LOTS OF RABBITS RUN ACROSS THAT FIELD IN THE MORNING. IF ANYBODY HAS DOGS THAT LOVE RABBITS, THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BE IN THE MORNING. UM BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT A LOT OF COACHES WHO ARE JUST GIVING TONS AND TONS OF TIME, HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND YOU PICK THEM UP AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE TO GO BACK FOR MAYBE ANOTHER SPORT, AND THEY'RE STILL THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE SO INVESTED INTO OUR KIDS, AND THAT'S ALL THE

[00:30:03]

AND THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE PROTECTIONS IN PLACE BECAUSE I'M AN ADULT, THEY SAID. SO I FEEL THE SAME WHEN I HAVE STUDENTS BECAUSE I MINERS IN MY CLASSROOM, SO I'M GIVING THEM THE SAME RESPECT BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO LAWS. AH ABOUT MINORS IN THE CLASSROOM. THE QUESTIONS ARE ASKING. SO SHE SAYS. I GIVE HIM THE SAME RESPECT. AND SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS KIND OF FOOD FOR THOUGHT TONIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEIR PRONOUNS ARE, AND IT'S JUST KIND OF A TOUCHY SUBJECT. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP THAT I THOUGHT, ONE OF THE TEACHERS AND WHAT THEY TOLD ME HOW THEY FELT ABOUT THAT.

THAT WAS JUST KIND OF A YOU KNOW, YOU THINK ABOUT IT LIKE AS ADULTS WHEN WE GO IN FOR THESE JOB INTERVIEWS, AND THESE TOUCHY SUBJECTS COME UP. UM THERE'S LAWS THAT GIVE THE ADULTS PROTECTION BUT WHO IS PROTECTING THE KIDS? AND SO JUST JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT. AND ANOTHER THING THAT CAME UP WAS, UM MONTHLY THEMES. WE HAVE MONTHLY THEMES THAT GO THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT FOR EVERY MONTH IF IT'S LGBT Q MONTH IF IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH OF WHATEVER THE MONTH IT IS SO ANOTHER SUGGESTION THAT SOMEBODY HAD WAS, THEY SAID, DO WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL THESE MONTHS OR CAN WE JUST FOCUS ON OUR STUDENTS, THEY SAID, LIKE IN ELEMENTARY AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER SAID TO ME WAS IF I COULD. TAKE ONE OR TWO STUDENTS FROM MY CLASSROOM A WEEK. I COULD HIT ALMOST EVERY STUDENT FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR. I COULD FOCUS ON THEM AND FOCUS ON THE STUDENT AT HAND. AND WE CAN REALLY CELEBRATE OUR STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT. AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE CERTAIN. UM RACES CLASSES. WHATEVER THIS IS, WE JUST CELEBRATE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND HER IN OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT THE LIST AND SAID, WELL, I'VE BEEN MISSED ON THIS. HOW COME WE'RE NOT CELEBRATING ME? HOW COME WE'RE NOT CELEBRATING THIS PERSON? WHY ONLY CELEBRATING THIS? AND SO IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AS THEY SAID, WELL, WE COULD TECHNICALLY CELEBRATE. YOU CAN CELEBRATE RAY S B. YOU CAN CELEBRATE YOUR DIFFERENT SPORTS CLUB. THERE'S A UKULELE CLUB, BERNARDO. MAYBE THE UKULELE CLUB GETS SPOTLIGHTED. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WEEKS AND THEY GET TO PLAY.

SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT HAVE COME OUT AND I WAS JUST THROW THEM OUT THERE BECAUSE UM, YOU KNOW, FOCUSING ON HIGH SCHOOLS FOCUS ON YOU KNOW YOUR ATHLETICS YOUR BAN. SOME OF THE GROUPS, CLUBS, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAYBE NOT GET THE FOCUS. AND SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AND WORTH MENTIONING TO RETURN THE FOCUS. UM, YOU KNOW, TO THE STUDENTS BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT IN OUR DISTRICT THEY EACH HAVE A STORY, AND THEY EACH HAVE A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND. AND IF WE'RE ONLY TAKING 10 MONTHS OR 10 AH, DIFFERENT AREAS ARE WE REPRESENTING EVERYBODY? SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO FOCUS ON ALL OF OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DISTRICT. AND ONE MORE THING, AND I'M REALLY GLAD I SEE A LOT OF I SEE A LOT OF TEACHERS HERE TONIGHT. AND SO I'M REALLY I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT EVERYBODY IS HERE BECAUSE I THINK ONE THING AND IT'S ALWAYS LIKE A TOUCHY SITUATION AND IT'S A TOUCHY SUBJECT ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO SAY, BUT I KEEP HEARING FROM, UM TEACHERS, THE COMMUNITY . I KEEP HEARING THAT UM. OUR TEACHERS UNION IS TELLING THE COMMUNITY AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT TELLING THE TEACHERS THAT I HATE TEACHERS. THAT. IF SOMEHOW THIS BOARD CHANGES IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT I PLAN ON TAKING AWAY PENSIONS THAT I CHANT AND TAKING AWAY PAY MEDICAL THAT WE'RE GOING TO REWRITE ALL OF OUR CURRICULUM, AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY OUR FUNDING THAT THIS WHOLE SCHOOL IS GOING TO TURN INTO CHARTER SCHOOL SOMEHOW. I'VE HEARD THIS WEEK THAT I AM. A. WHAT WAS IT A RELIGIOUS WING NUT AND I WAS GOING TO BE BRING THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION INTO OUR SCHOOL. I WAS WEARING THE CHURCH IN THE SCHOOL, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, I KNOW THAT I CAN'T DO THAT. AND SO I THINK I'M GLAD THAT EVERYBODY IS HERE TONIGHT AND ALL THOSE TEACHERS ARE HERE SO YOU CAN TAKE BACK TO YOUR SCHOOL. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING SO I'VE APPROVED TO RAISES WITH NO PROBLEM AND I THINK THAT TEACHERS SHOULD BE PAID MORE. I HAVE SO MANY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO

[00:35:02]

THAT'S NOTHING OF THE SORT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T NECESSARILY FALL IN LINE WITH EVERYTHING THAT MAYBE THE UNION IS STANDING FOR COMING OUT OF SACRAMENTO DOES NOT MEAN THAT I DO NOT VALUE OUR TEACHERS THAT ARE NOT VALUE YOU GUYS AS PEOPLE AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FAMILIES THAT YOU NEED TO PROVIDE FOR AND SO I HAVE NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER OF TURNING P Y EL USD INTO CHARTER SCHOOLS.

MY CHILDREN ATTEND HERE. IF I WANTED MY KIDS TO GO TO A CHARTER PRIVATE SCHOOL, I WOULD SEND THEM THERE. SO THAT'S NOT ANY OF MY ATTENTION. VERY HAPPY WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE EDUCATION AND THE SPORTS AND ALL THE STUFF THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO AND ALL THE ADVANTAGES THEY HAVE BY COMING HERE, SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I WOULD LIKE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO DO THIS. UM SO IF IT DOES HAPPEN IN YOUR LUNCH, LUNCH MEETINGS OR AFTER SCHOOL MEETINGS, IF YOU CAN SAY YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT TRUE. WE MAY NOT ALIGN POLITICALLY. OR SOMETHING, BUT SHE HAS NO INTENTION OF TAKING AWAY ANY PAY BENEFITS. NOTHING FOR TEACHERS AND I DO SUPPORT YOU, 100% AND I THANK YOU FOR THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME AND ASKED ME THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY QUESTIONS TO ASK SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M A STRANGER TO MANY PEOPLE, SO I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME IF YOU HEAR UM , ANY OF THESE THINGS PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME AND LIKE, LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY DO SUPPORT YOU 100% I DO NOT WANT THIS PLACE TO BE A CHARTER SCHOOL. I DO SUPPORT SCHOOL CHOICE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT TO TURN THIS PLACE INTO CHARTER SCHOOLS. HOWEVER I DO SUPPORT THE PARENTS WHO SEND THEIR KIDS TO CHARTER SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR WHATEVER I DO BELIEVE FIRMLY THAT PARENTS HAVE A CHOICE WHERE THEY SHOULD SEND THEIR SCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN. SO AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR AND, UH, HOPEFULLY I JUST DECORATED FOR FALL YESTERDAY DIDN'T FEEL REALLY LIKE FALL, SO IT'S KIND OF BUMMED, SO I'M HOPING FOR SOME FALL WEATHER COMING TO A SHORTLY, SO THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY FIRST. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME LUCY TO OUR BOARD. AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU BETTER AND TO HEARING YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THESE ISSUES AS WE DISCUSS THEM AS A BOARD, SO FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP. AH, UM. SO UM, THE FIRST THING SINCE THE LAST MEETING. I ATTENDED THE MANAGEMENT. SUPPOSE IEM MISSION POSSIBLE WHICH WE WERE ALL AT, AND IT WAS JUST A GREAT MEETING , UM, FOCUSING ON POSITIVE LEADERSHIP. AND BASICALLY HOW TO ALL THE HOW TO LIKE HOW TO FILL OUR BUCKETS HOW TO FILL THOSE THAT WE WORK WITH BUCKETS, AND IT WAS JUST GREAT, AND I MADE A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS AND I DEFINITELY HAVE ENGRAVED A FEW MEMORIES. SO ALSO I ATTENDED THE VERY WET BELL GAME LAST FRIDAY NIGHT. SO A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ELDORADO HAWKS ON THEIR VICTORY AND ALSO A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE DEDICATED FANS AND STAFF WHO ATTENDED THE GAME TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND THERE. THEY WERE VERY ENERGETIC, AND THEY DIDN'T LET THE RAIN DETOUR THEM ON THE ON THE FIELD OR IN THE STANDS, AND IT WAS A GREAT A GREAT NIGHT TO CELEBRATE PLACENTA. ALSO I AM RECENTLY IN THE MAIL RECEIVED THE POTENTIAL LIBRARY DISTRICT MAILER. AND THE LIBRARY. I WAS ACTUALLY REALLY SHOCKED. UM, HOW MUCH HOW MANY WONDERFUL PROGRAMS THEY HAVE OFFERING, SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THEM. THEY HAVE MONTHLY CRAFTS, INCLUDING ALL SUPPLIES AND TUTORIALS. THEY HAVE BEGINNING ENGLISH CONVERSATION GROUPS AND CLUBS. THEY HAVE BOOK CLUBS AND STORY TIMES, INCLUDING READING TWO DOGS. UM YEAH. SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO FREE TUTORING FOR ADULTS TO IMPROVE THEIR WRITING, SPEAKING DIGITAL AND MASS SKILLS. AND THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP IN THESE TUTOR THESE ADULTS, BUT YOU JUST MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER AND NO EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED. THEY HAVE YOGA CLASSES ON SATURDAYS, AND THEY ALSO OFFER STEM LABS SO AND THAT IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING OF WHAT THE POTENTIAL LIBRARY HAS TO OFFER. AND I WANTED TO BE FAIR. SO I WENT ON TO THE WEBSITE FOR THE YORBA LINDA LIBRARY, AND I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY OFFER THEY OFFER MANY DIFFERENT AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS FOR DIFFERENT AGES. SO LIKE YOU KNOW, ONE WEEK IT'S MAYBE FOR 5 TO 6 YEAR OLDS, AND THEN IT'S FOR 78, YEAR OLDS AND HIGH SCHOOL COUSIN. IT'S GREAT. THEY ALSO OFFER CRAFT MAKING CLASSES AND CAR MAKING KITS FOR THE ELDERLY. THEY HAVE STORY TIME FOR ALL DIFFERENT AGES. MAD SCIENCE NIGHTS. AND ALSO YOU CAN CHECK OUT THEY HAVE SUPPLIES THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT AND ONE OF THEM WAS CIRCUIT BOARDS SO YOU COULD LEARN HOW TO DESIGN YOUR OWN CIRCUIT BOARD. AND

[00:40:02]

WELL FROM FROM MY HOUSE IN THE MORNING. I CAN HEAR THE ELDORADO BAND, SO IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY NICE TO HEAR THAT BACK IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M GETTING READY FOR WORK. UM I'VE STOPPED BY. I ALMOST PASSED HALF HALF OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS POPPING IN TO SAY HELLO.

UM AND I'VE HEARD ACTUALLY, FROM A NUMBER OF THE SCHOOLS THAT THEY'VE HAD INCREASED ENROLLMENT FROM LAST YEAR, SO THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. UM AND THE STAFF WAS INCREDIBLY WELCOMING. UM THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES THE BACK TO NORMAL. THE FEELING OF YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE HARD WORK AND THEY'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT SO IT WAS REALLY NICE TO GO AROUND AND SEE PEOPLE A LOT OF THE TIMES. IF IT'S IN THE MORNING, IT WAS MORE OF A DRIVE BY AND SEE ALL THE FACILITIES AND HOW THAT'S DOING BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST LOADED WITH KIDS. UM BUT AFTER A LITTLE WHILE, I GOT A CHANCE TO GO IN AND SAY HI TO SOME OF THEM. UM I HAVE TALKED TO AND GOTTEN A COUPLE OF COMMENTS FROM PARENTS ABOUT THE FOOD LINES AT ELDORADO AND VALENCIA THAT ARE REALLY LONG AND THE KIDS ARE HAVING A HARD, HARD TIME GETTING THROUGH THE LINE AND HAVING ENOUGH TIME TO EAT. I'VE TALKED TO DR MATTHEWS ABOUT IT JUST TO KIND OF PUT IT ON HIS RADAR THAT THAT THAT'S OUT THERE SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO CREATE SOME MORE, UM, SPACE FOR THEM. TWO MORE TIME TO EAT AFTER THEY GET THROUGH THAT LUNCH LINE. BOTH OF THOSE SCHOOLS SEEM TO BE A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING THAN THE OTHERS. UM SO MAYBE I KNOW AS THEIR GRANTS OUT THERE, I SAW THAT WE'VE GOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, UM, PROJECTED FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGET THAN LAST YEAR FOR OUR FACILITIES FOR THAT, SO IF WE COULD LOOK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY GRANTS TO HELP BUILD A BUILD OUT SOME OF THAT THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. UM SECONDLY. AH UM WE OPENED IT FOR HIS O. C. WE OPENED A FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER AT THE, UH, AT THE WOMEN'S CENTER AND THE GOMEZ CENTER, BUT I WAS AT THE RESOURCE CENTER THIS WEEK AT THE WITTEN AND EVERY WEEK WE DO CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SPANISH. THIS THIS WEEK. WE HAD CAL OPTIMA COME OUT, BUT I HAD THAT AND I WENT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST ONE OF THE YEAR AND THEY ASKED ME ABOUT THE CROSSWALK AND I WAS HAPPY TO GIVE THEM THE UPDATE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT THEY DID BRING THEIR AH LIST OF SIGNATURES LAST YEAR. IT'S ALMOST BEEN A YEAR. UM AND I KNOW THAT THE CITY IS DOING THEIR STREETS AND THAT'S ON THE TARGET. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THAT YOU KNOW THAT I LET THEM KNOW, AND THEY'RE STILL KIND OF HOPING ON IT AND WAITING AND KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. UM, NEXT. SO I HAD AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. UM ABOUT PICKLEBALL AND THE, UM THE CITIES THAT ARE THERE TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER SPACE FOR PICKLEBALL AND SAID, OH, WOULD YOU KNOW? WOULD IT BE OKAY? OR YOU KNOW HOW WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PICKLEBALL AND THE TENNIS COURTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND I THOUGHT, WELL, THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GOT WAY TOO MANY TENNIS PLAYERS, BUT UM, WHEN THINKING ABOUT IT IF WE HAVE ANY AVAILABLE SPACE ON A MIDDLE SCHOOL, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THEN WE COULD GET THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN IT DURING THE DAY. UM IT'S A GREAT ACTIVITY TO BUILD INTO A TENNIS PROGRAM AND THEN AFTER SCHOOL, IT COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO MAYBE A I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A JOINT USER AWAY, WE COULD BLEND THAT TOGETHER. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND THE KIDS AND ALSO GET PEOPLE MORE ACTIVE. SURE WHAT? OKAY, PICTURE OF MY DOG. OH YEAH, I HAVE TWO DOGS, SO MAYBE THAT HELPS NOT WORK. EVERYBODY KNOWS.

BUT WE ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO START TALKING ABOUT THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED PICKLEBALL. COME ON. IT'S REALLY GOOD. SO OKAY, TENNIS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I HAVEN'T JUMPED INTO THAT YET, BUT I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. I TEND TO BE COMPETITIVE. UM AND THEN WE JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER NOTES THE C N A C MEETING, WHICH IS THE CHILD NUTRITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT I SENT ON AS THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER FOR, UM FOR OUR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE STATE. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MEETING TO TALK ABOUT, UM FOOD AND NUTRITION, UM, AND EVEN MORE TIME IN THE SEAT AFTER GETTING YOUR LUNCH, BUT THAT'S BEEN POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER. SO I'LL BRING THAT BACK. AND WE HAVE A DO WE DO HAVE AN O. C S B. A SEMINAR THAT WILL BE COMING UP.

WE'VE GOT ALL GOTTEN INFORMATION ON THAT. IT'S BY ZOOM SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN JOIN US AND THEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I'LL BE ATTENDING AGAIN. THE STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH CONFERENCE , UM, FOR SCHOOL, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND I'LL BRING INFORMATION BACK AS WELL. UM THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. THE SCHOOLS LOOK BEAUTIFUL. PEOPLE ARE SO HAPPY AND SMILEY AND GLAD TO BE BACK. YOU ALL DO SUCH GREAT WORK FOR ALL OF OUR KIDS, UM, FROM TEACHERS, TOO.

[00:45:01]

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MM HMM. LINDA MANNION, UM, GOOD EVENING. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT MEANS TO OUR COMMUNITY. EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT SCHOOLS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT WE DON'T OFTEN STOP TO THINK ABOUT HOW ESSENTIALS OUR SCHOOLS ARE. P Y R U S C IS THE PLACE FOR CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY GAINED THE ABILITY TO FIND THEIR FUTURES HERE. STUDENTS SPENT 13 YEARS WITH TEACHERS THAT WILL TEACH THEM EVERYTHING FROM THE BASICS OF READING AND WRITING TO ALL THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE THEY WILL NEED TO PURSUE ANY DREAM CAN IMAGINE. P Y EL USC IS QUITE LITERALLY THE HEART OF THIS COMMUNITY. NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE STATE GOVERNMENT , THE CITY COUNCIL, NOR ANY INSTITUTION WILL HAVE AS MUCH IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN AS OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS LIKE ANYTHING, HOWEVER, USD AND OTHER DISTRICTS MUST BE NURTURED IF THEY ARE TO CONTINUE TO BE THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOW FILLED WITH A SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS AND PERSONNEL. FEWER NUMBERS OF TEACHING CANDIDATES AND COLLEGES AND NEVER INCREASING TEACHERS AND WILL EMPLOYEES LEAVING THE PROFESSION. WE MUST NOT LET ANYTHING IMPACT THE REPUTATION OF OUR DISTRICT AND THE ABILITY OF L. U. S T OR ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT TOOK THE FULFILL THE DREAMS OF THE CHILDREN THEY SERVE. I ASK ALL OF US TO TAKE A SECOND TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN ALL SUPPORT AND PROTECT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS. BEFORE YOU START. HOLD THAT. BUT AFTER SARAH WILL

[00:50:03]

AND I'M SORRY THAT MY PRESENCE AND MY ONCE DO NOT LIVE UP TO WHAT YOU EXPECT FOR YOURSELVES.

BUT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. WE'RE ALL PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE END GAME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ENMITY. BUT I WILL LIVE HERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. MY KIDS WILL BE HERE FOR THE REST OF THEIR SCHOOL CAREER. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THEM TO BE SEEN FOR OUR CURRICULUM TO BE DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE OF FACTUAL HISTORY, NOT WHAT THE DAUGHTERS OF THE CIVIL WAR FOUGHT FOR OUR CURRICULUM TO LOOK LIKE IN THE EARLY 19 HUNDREDS, SO TO OUR TEACHERS ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR KIDS AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU

[00:55:05]

I REALLY WANT TO COMMENT ON WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. BUT I'M GOING TO STICK TO MY SCRIPT. UM I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY AND MANNER THAT THE ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSSES MAY HAVE ENTERED OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT . I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT CARRIE BUCK PULLED ITEM NUMBER 15 FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR IN JUNE REGARDING THE SEVEN ELECTRIC BUSSES FOR SEVEN CENTS TO PUBLICIZE IT. BUT NOW I SEE ON CARRIE BUCK'S CAMPAIGN SIGNS THAT SHE HAS A UNION US W 67 LOGO OUT OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA STAMPED ON OUR SIGNS. THIS UNION IS A STEEL WORKERS UNION, BUT IT ALSO MENTIONS ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS MANUFACTURING ON ITS WEBSITE. I NOTICED THAT IN RECENT NEWS AS UNION LAUNCHED A FIRST OF ITS KIND, ELECTRIC BUS MANUFACTURING TRAINING PROGRAM, ALONG WITH THE COMPANY NAMED PRO TERRA U. S. W WAS LISTED AS A KEY PARTNER. IN ANOTHER ARTICLE , TITLED HIGH ROAD TO ELECTRIC BUS MANUFACTURING. AND ANOTHER ARTICLE ANNOUNCING PRO TERRA AND USW LOCAL 675 HISTORIC ELECTRIC BUS MANUFACTURING. AND LASTLY, I STUMBLED ON A WEBSITE SHOWING BOTH PRO TERRA AND CREATE A BUS SALES, WHICH IS WHERE WE PURCHASE THESE BUSSES IS KEY SPONSORS AT A RECENT EVENT. I KNOW. MISS BUCK HAS CLAIMED ONLINE THAT USW LOCAL 675 IS WHERE SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CHEAPEST SIGNS MADE AND THAT COULD VERY WELL BE TRUE. BUT HONESTLY, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE CONTRACT. IT WASN'T ATTACHED TO THE MINUTES FOR THE ELECTRIC BUSSES. AND IF THE UNION HAS STAMPED THEIR NAMES ON HER CAMPAIGN SIGNS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE DISTRICT SHOULD REMOVE THE CONTRACT DUE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AND IF ANY PROMISES HAVE BEEN MADE FOR ELECTRIC BUSSES IN THE FUTURE BY MISS BUCK. IN EXCHANGE FOR SIGNS THAT I WANT THIS INQUIRY ON THE RECORD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE THIS. GUY'S RULES. TWO THINGS, FOLKS, IF I IF I MAY GO AHEAD, PLEASE DO THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO ASK HIM. WE GET PEOPLE TO RESPECT TO SPEAK. UM I DON'T CARE WHAT THE OPINION IS. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO DO IS HAVE A PLACE THAT'S FREE, WHERE PEOPLE HAD THAT FOR HIM TO SPEAK. THE SECOND PART IS A LOT OF THAT COMMENT WAS NOT ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN AND A LOT OF COMMENT WAS ABOUT THE COUNT CAMPAIGN, SO JUST TRY TO KEEP THE ISSUES TO NON CAMPAIGN PARTS OF IT WERE TRYING TO DO HERE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION WITH THAT. THANK YOU. SO JUDY WILL BE NEXT. THEN SHANI MURRAY AND CRYSTAL NOBLE. I'M JUDY DESJARDIN. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM HERE AS A MOTHER AND A GRANDMOTHER. I WANT TO ADDRESS THE PARENTS. AND THE TEACHERS TONIGHT REGARDING THE BILL A B 11 84. THIS BILL IS ABOUT INSURANCE SECRECY. THE, UH , THE INSURANCE COMPANY CANNOT REPORT TO THE PARENTS ANY SENSITIVE PROCEDURES THAT THEIR CHILDREN MAY HAVE. MY CONCERN IS WILL THE DISTRICT EXPAND THE WELLNESS SERVICES? UM THIS LAW WENT INTO EFFECT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, JULY THE 1ST 2022. PARENTS WE KNOW HOW OUR CHILDREN MAY BE INFLUENCED BY THEIR FRIENDS. TO HAVE PROCEDURES THAT WOULD STERILIZE THEM. AND THIS IS HAPPENING WITH HORMONE THERAPY. UH THE PUBERTY BLOCKERS . YOU CAN LOOK IT UP AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. BUT PARENTS YOU CAN STOP THIS NOW. AS FAR AS THE TEACHERS AGAIN, THE TEACHERS ARE GOOD. I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR EVERY TEACHER. BUT THIS IS MY QUESTION TO THE TEACHERS. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BELONG TO A UNION THAT PROMOTES THIS LEGISLATION? APPLE UNION IS A PART OF C T A. SO YOU LIKE ED SAID YOU DON'T FINISH YOUR COMMENTS, MRS DRYDEN MUCH. THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT. I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION OF WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH VERY MUCH. MHM NEXT. WE HAVE SHANNON MURRAY THAN CRYSTAL NOBLE AND THEN PAULA POWERS. HI MY NAME IS SHANNON MURRAY.

I SAW THIS CELEBRATED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE AND AT MY HOME SCHOOL, I SAW ARTIST FRIDA KAHLO AND BASEBALL PLAYER ROBERTO

[01:00:07]

THANK YOU. HI CRYSTAL. NOBLE ACTUALLY HAD A SPEECH PREPARED, BUT I'M GOING TO INSTEAD TALK ABOUT A DISTURBING THING. I JUST WE JUST NOTICED HERE AT THE MEETING AND ALL YOU'D GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOUR BINGO CARDS OUT. LET'S GO, BRANDON. ONE OF YOUR THINGS ON THERE. IT'S VERY DISTURBING. UM WHOEVER PASSED THOSE OUT TO THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. DO YOU THINK THESE MEETINGS ARE A JOKE? THESE BINGO CARDS HAVE THINGS LIKE. RACISM. PRONOUNS SEX. ED COVID, BLM FIVE G JANUARY 6TH. AH! AH TEACHERS, UNIONS, VACCINATIONS MARXISM. LET'S GO, BRANDON. SO THEY'RE PLAYING BINGO. INSTEAD OF PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MEETINGS, WE CAN HEAR THEM. YOU KNOW, GETTING ALL EXCITED. BINGO BINGO. WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS A WORD THAT'S ON THEIR BINGO CARD. REALLY? DO YOU FIND THAT? I MEAN, APPROPRIATE FOR A MEETING LIKE THIS. WHOEVER DID THIS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. BUT THANK YOU.

OKAY AFTER PAULA POWERS WE HAVE CARLA JONES AND JIMMY HOGAN. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED ALONGSIDE ME AND WHO HAVE HELPED MAKE THIS DISTRICT ONE THAT I AM PROUD TO HAVE SERVED FOR 23 YEARS. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF OUR KIDS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. BUT MOST NOTABLY DURING THE PANDEMIC. THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING US AND ENCOURAGING POSITIVE HOMESCHOOL CONNECTION. YOUR TRUST BINDS THIS COMMUNITY WHERE OUR CHILDREN THRIVE AND STAY HOPEFUL ABOUT THEIR FUTURE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THINK SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES BUCK AND FREEMAN FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. AND BEING LONGSTANDING PARTS OF OUR GREAT REPUTATION. THANK YOU BOTH ALONG WITH TRUSTY ANDERSON FOR SHARING NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THE GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOMS, EACH MEETING AND GIVING OUR KIDS THE SPOTLIGHT TO SHINE. FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK LINDA MANYON, WHO HAS A HEART OF GOLD. OUR UNION IS MADE OF DEVOTED TEACHERS WHO ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR FAMILIES BY SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS. I AM LUCKY TO BE A TEACHER IN THIS COMMUNITY AS WELL AS A PARENT WITH KIDS AT OUR AWARD WINNING SCHOOLS. IT IS AN HONOR TO WORK WITH DEVOTED PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO THROUGHOUT THE YEARS HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO GIVE OUR KIDS THE EDUCATION THEY DESERVE. THANK YOU. JUST CAR. CARLA JONES'S NEXT CARLA. CARLA THEN JAMMY, THEN MARK. HI MY NAME IS CARLA JONES. I'M A 26 YEAR VETERAN OF THE DISTRICT. ALL OF THEM AT KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT, AND WE'D LOVE TO PUT PICKLE BALL COURTS AND SINCE I'VE BEEN TEACHING IT FOR 25 YEARS AT KRAMER I ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHOUT OUT FOR THE COACHES WERE OUT THERE SWEATING AND TAKING CARE OF THOSE KIDS. MY PRONOUNS . ARE SHE AND HER? I AM A HAPPY , EXCITED TEACHER TO BE AT KRAMER BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY AND BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT COUNTS AND AS WELCOME THERE DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU IDENTIFY WHAT YOU IDENTIFY WHETHER YOU'RE GAY E L D R S P S D C, YOU HAVE AN I P F FIVE. OH, FOUR. YOU'RE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION OR AN ELITE ATHLETE ON AN INDEPENDENT PROGRAM. YOU ARE LOVED AND ACCEPTED IT. CRAMER I HOPE THE REST OF OUR DISTRICT CAN GET THAT WAY. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AS OUR HEALTHY YOUTH ACT EDUCATOR AT KRAMER FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING INTO KIDS GETTING VACCINATED AND OR OR DRUGGED AT SCHOOL. THAT WAS APPALLING TO ME TO HEAR AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL OF THERE BEING PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S ON CAMPUS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL AS THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT APPROPRIATE, ALTHOUGH FOLLOWING THE HEALTHY YOU ATTACKED LAW IS IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. OKAY SO NEXT, WE HAVE

[01:05:12]

DON'T GET ME WRONG. UM BUT NOW WE FIND OURSELVES SHORT OF STAFF. WE ARE LOSING THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT ROLE WE WERE HIRED TO DO. WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND GIVE AIDS DECENT PAY WITH BENEFITS. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU.

HELLO I'M MARK THEORY. YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME EARLIER, GIVING A VERY SUBDUED SPEECH. BUT I WANTED TO LET A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT WEREN'T HERE EARLIER THERE WAS A BROWN ACT DISCUSSIONS SPECIAL MEETING AND THERE WAS VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD BROUGHT UP WAS THE UNILATERAL GERMAN OF MEETINGS BY PRESIDENT KERRY BUCK THAT HAS BROUGHT UP BEEN BROUGHT UP NUMEROUS TIMES. AND I'M JUST REALLY ASKING. IS THERE AN INVESTIGATION GOING ON? IS THERE, NOT AN INVESTIGATION GOING ON? IS IT A DEAD ISSUE? I THINK THE PUBLIC DESERVES. AN ANSWER. TO THIS SITUATION, THE ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE MEETING THAT IN HINDSIGHT AFTER THEY REVIEWED THE BROWN ACT ANYTHING THAT COMES UP SHOULD BE FIRST. TRY TO BE RESOLVED AT A BOARD MEETING. OKAY YOU HAD CERTAINLY NEVER GOT RESOLVED AT A BOARD MEETING BECAUSE IT CAME UP EVERY BOARD MEETING AND IT GOT PUSHED TO THE SIDE. UM VERSUS THE BYLAW. I MEAN THE BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS FROM SUPERVISOR SEAN. HE WAS CALLED OUT THERE WAS NEVER DISCUSSED AT THE BOARD MEETING TO TRY TO RESOLVE IT IN THIS FORUM BEFORE IT WAS SENT TO THE O. C. D A TOTAL INCONSISTENCY AND HOW THOSE WERE HANDLED IN THE HOPE IN THE FUTURE. THAT THING WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IT TRIES TO ANYTHING TRIES TO BE RESOLVED HERE BEFORE IT GOES TO THE ORANGE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. OKAY AND OKAY, THANK YOU. OKAY NEXT, WE HAVE KRISTEN M, FOLLOWED BY RAQUEL FLESH, FLESH INNER AND PAT PATRICIA HANSEN.

AND WE HAVE SOME SEATS UP IN FRONT. SO IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AHEAD OF TIME. THAT'S FINE, TOO.

SO TO THAT, CRAMER TEACHER, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW THEY IDENTIFY, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY OR SUGGESTED THAT THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY AS A CERTAIN PRONOUN. MY DAUGHTER FIRST YEAR AT ELDORADO WAS GIVEN A PAPER ON HER FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, ASKED WHAT HER PRONOUNS ARE, AND IT WAS THROUGH A CONVERSATION WITH A TEACHER HERE, ACTUALLY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS, SHE SAID ON HER PAPER. SHE SAYS. WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU? WOULDN'T THAT BE A MORE NORMAL QUESTION THAN WHAT ARE YOUR PRONOUNS? WE DON'T NEED TO TELL KIDS THAT THEY NEED A CERTAIN PRONOUN. THEY CAN BE WHOEVER THEY WANT, BUT IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY WANT TO SHARE WITH THE TEACHER THEY CAN SHARE IN THAT VERY APPROPRIATE SPOT. WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM LIKE ENCOURAGING THIS CRAP.

NEXT. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE GYM AT ELDORADO. WE SPENT A TON OF MONEY UPGRADING THE FILTRATION SYSTEMS, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND ALL THAT. AND OUR MAIN GYM AT ELDORADO, WHERE THE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL HAS TO PLAY AND PRACTICE HAS NO AIR CONDITIONER. IT WAS 105 IN THE GYM LAST WEEK, THEY HAD TO MOVE PRACTICE. THEY ACTUALLY ALLOWED THEM TO PLAY IN THE SMALLER, AIR CONDITIONED GYM ONE NIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS 100 AND FIVE UM ARE ASSEMBLIES HAVE TO GET MOVED? BECAUSE OF THE HEAT? WE HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING IN THERE. WHY DID WE SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON STUFF WE DIDN'T NEED AND OUR GYM IS SO HOT EQUITY AND WHAT'S THE UPDATE ON THE LIGHTS ? HOW'S THAT GOING WITH ALDO ARE POOR SCHOOLS LIKE SUPER RUN DOWN ? YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT IT IS ALL THESE THINGS GETTING FIXED AND WE HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONER AND WE HAVE NO LIGHTS IN OUR FIELDS FOOTBALL GOT MOVED BACK A COUPLE OF HOURS. LUCKILY THERE IN THE FALL, AND THAT CAN HAPPEN. SOCCER THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN. OUR GAMES GET SHIPPED CUT SHORT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE WINTER. WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE SUN OUT. WE CAN'T PLAY IN THE DARK. MM HMM.

HI MY NAME IS RAQUEL. I AM A PARENT AND A TEACHER HERE TO SPEAK BECAUSE I'M DISAPPOINTED

[01:10:07]

ADDITIONALLY YOU CANNOT BE FOR TEACHERS BUT AGAINST THE UNION WHICH 92% OF OUR TEACHERS ARE A PART OF, ESPECIALLY DURING A TEACHER SHORTAGE, FUELED BY A LACK OF SUPPORT. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING BOARD. MY NAME IS PATRICIA HANZO. AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT ITEM. 21 WE SUPPORT MY FAMILY SUPPORTS. THE BOARD WHEN YOU MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. AND WE REQUEST THAT YOU SUPPORT PRINCIPLES WHEN THEY REQUEST PROGRAMS AND APPLICATIONS. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO APPROVE PROGRAMS CONTRACTS. THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED FROM SCHOOL SITES. THE PROGRAM LIKE PLAYWORKS IS A STUDENT CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROGRAM USED BY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. LAST YEAR, PLAYWORKS WAS USED TO ADDRESS RECESS FIGHTS AND STUDENT BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. IT WAS SAD WHEN IN 2021 TO SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TO NEW SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS MADE FUN OF PLAYGROUND FIGHTS AND MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR THESE PROGRAMS. DURING SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS IN 2021. THEY ALSO CRITICIZED WHEN TEACHERS WANTED TO HAVE THE WELLNESS WEDNESDAY EVENTS. I URGE YOU TO APPROVE PLAYWORKS. AS FAR AS THE VIOLATIONS FOR THE BROWN ACT. I HOPE THAT THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPUTY D, A. DOES LOOK AT TODAY'S VIDEO. BECAUSE. OF THOSE FOUND VIOLATIONS. TODAY'S TRAINING AT 4 30 PM WAS TO REMEDY AND CURE THOSE VIOLATIONS . AND SADLY, TRUSTEE YOUNGBLOOD WAS A NO SHOW. SOME VERY DISAPPOINTED. THANK YOU. OKAY WE HAVE STEPHANIE D BRENT D AND MARIA STUBS. LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER AND AN AVID READER. I LOVE THAT BOOKS FORCE YOU TO IMAGINE PLOTS AND CHARACTERS AND THEY GO ON TO LIVE WITH YOU AFTER YOU PUT BOOKS DOWN. BUT RECENTLY MY DAUGHTER WAS ASSIGNED A BOOK AND INNOCENTLY OPENED IT TO PAGE SEVEN, WHERE SHE WENT RED AU. I KNEW YOUR MOTHER. DID YOU KNOW THAT I KNEW HER REAL GOOD. I TOOK HER FROM BEHIND BY THE CREEK OVER THERE. WHAT A TIGHT LITTLE SUGARY C U. N. T SHE HAD THAT WAS PAGE SEVEN. HER TEACHER HAD GIVEN A NO HEADS UP. SO SHE GOOGLED THE PLOT AND DECIDED SHE COULD NOT STUDY IT. SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE BOOK HAD A DIFFICULT CHAPTER, BUT IT WOULD BE SKIPPED. HAVE YOU EVER HANDED A KID A BOOK AND TOLD THEM NOT TO READ A PART OF IT? SPOILER ALERT. THEY DO BY THE WAY OTHER TEACHERS DO NOT SKIP IT AND PLAYED INAUDIBLE VERSION OF A VERY DESCRIPTIVE RAPE IN THEIR CLASS IN THIS RAPE ESSENTIAL TO THE STORY. I DIDN'T GET YOUR PERMISSION TO READ IT TO YOU, SO I WILL NOT EXPOSE YOU TO THE IMAGERY THAT GOES ON IN MY MIND. SINCE I DID READ IT, IT GOES ON TO INCLUDE AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

PARENTS NEVER WARNED NEVER ASKED TO DISCUSS THIS, WITH THEIR STUDENTS NEVER GIVEN AN OPTION TO SKIP IT, SO MOST OF US NEVER KNEW THE IMAGES BEING PUT INTO OUR STUDENTS, HEADS AND THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS THAT THEY MAY HAVE STRUGGLED WITH OUR SORTING OUT RAPES AND SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. GREAT JOB DISTRICT AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS BECAUSE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD APPROVED THIS BOOK TO BE IN THEIR HANDS. WHY DO WE SETTLE FOR THIS? WHY DO WE WANT THIS FOR OUR KIDS? THIS BOOK SHOULD BE ON LIBRARY SHELVES AND SOLD ON AMAZON. BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE IN OUR CLASSROOMS. IF IT WAS SHOWN AS A VIDEO, THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN, IT WOULD BE DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD PORN. GOOD JOB. MY NAME IS BRENT. UM I DID K THROUGH 12 IN THIS DISTRICT. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I WENT TO THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,

[01:15:04]

AND IT WAS GOOD TO ACTUALLY SEE MR TATE THERE, AND THEY WERE TOUGH ACADEMICALLY, BUT THEY'RE VERY KIND. I LOVE THEM AS TEACHERS. BUT YOU KNOW ONE THING I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THEM WAS THEIR POLITICS, AND THAT'S IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THE EXPERIENCE THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD LAST YEAR IN OUR HISTORY CLASSES SPECIALLY AND YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK THAT IN THIS CASE IT WAS LEFT WING POLITICS WAS BROUGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM. UM INCLUDING BEING TAUGHT THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS A DEMOCRAT. BUT THAT WAS JUST MISINFORMATION . AND SO HERE. HERE'S MY, UM ENCOURAGEMENT, I GUESS FOR PARENTS YOU KNOW, DIG IN, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASS WITH YOUR KIDS, AND THEN I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR THE BOARD IS, YOU KNOW? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THIS? LIKE THIS IS THIS IS TERRIBLE TO ME, LIKE IN TERMS OF, I GUESS MY EXPERIENCE OR EVEN MY A P GOVERNMENT TEACHER HAS A SENIOR AT LUNCH AND MR BOEHNER. WE HAD NO CLUE WHAT HE YOU KNOW WHAT IS POLITICS WERE AND SO I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR THE BOARD IS, YOU KNOW? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU. AFTER MARIA, WE HAVE BEEN STUBS AND THEN LINDA COHN, THEN SHANIA BOONE. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. UM NEVER FORGET THAT PERPETRATED BY AND ARE SUPPORTED BY MRS BUCK , MRS FREEMAN AND MRS ANDERSON HERE, PERSON OR KIDS DID NOT GO BACK TO IN PERSON SCHOOL AS SOON AS THEY COULD HAVE FALLING FURTHER BEHIND ACADEMICALLY AND HURTING EMOTIONALLY. THE TWO CONSECUTIVE ADJOURNED MEETINGS, WHEREAS THE PARENTS WERE LEFT WITHOUT ANY ANSWERS AS TO THE MESH MASK MADNESS CREATED BY THEM AND NO ADVANCEMENT IN THE C R T BAND VOTE, OUR VERY OWN CHILDREN WERE COERCED AND HUMILIATED BY THEIR TEACHERS OVER A FAKE NO MESH MASK POLICY. AND THESE TRUSTEES HAD NO INTEREST IN FIXING THE SITUATION TO THIS DAY. THIS BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT CONSIDER AN EMERGENCY THAT HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS WERE KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL OVER THE MESH MASK. ASSESSOR BUCK FIASCO. THIS TRUSTEES PUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS BEFORE THE ONES OF THEIR CHILDREN. THEY WORK FOR THE PARENTS OF THESE CHILDREN. NEVER FORGET THIS NOVEMBER WERE VOTING IN PART, FRASER AND RICH ENGEL. THANK YOU. SO IF I MAY AGAIN, THAT WAS A PERFECT COMMENT UNTIL THE VERY END. AND SO IT WAS. SO IF WE COULD JUST TRY TO AVOID THE POLITICS, I MEAN, I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE RESPECTING TO THEIR POINT OF VIEW. THERE ARE VARIETY OF VIEWPOINTS BEING PUT FORWARD HERE. AND I LOVE THAT. EACH PERSON IS GIVEN THAT RESPECT. AND IF WE CAN PLEASE DO OUR BEST TO AVOID THE CAMPAIGN PART OF THIS. THANK YOU. THEN STUBBS IS NEXT, FOLLOWED BY LINDA COHN, FOLLOWED BY SHANTY BOONE. AND THOSE ARE THE LAST THREE. LEAVING YOUR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY PEN.

STUBBS A PARENT OF A STUDENT HERE, IT LISTEN TO YOUR BELINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 10TH. THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION RELEASED A VIDEO FEATURING PRESIDENT BUCK AND IN THE VIDEO , SHE STATED THE FOLLOWING QUOTE OF ALL THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT I TAKE THE MOST PRIDE IN IS REALLY THE FOCUS THAT WE HAD ON THE STUDENTS. WHEN WE CAME BACK TO SCHOOL. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS IN ORANGE COUNTY TO COME BACK. AND WHEN WE DID THAT, BY PROVIDING A SAFE SPACE AS WE COULD ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS AT THE SAME TIME. LET ME BE CLEAR ON THIS. PRESIDENT BUCK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR SCHOOLS COMING BACK TO SCHOOL. ANYTIME EARLY VOTING RECORD SHOWS FOR THAT ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 11TH OF THIS YEAR SHE UNILATERALLY DURING THE MEETING , BUT BEFORE THAT, SHE MADE A PRESCRIPTION OR PROHIBITED THE USE OF MESH MASKS JUST LIKE THAT. WITHOUT CONSULTING THE BOARD WITHOUT HAVING THE BOARD VOTE ON IT. AND APPARENTLY, THIS CAME FROM DR CLAYTON CHOW OF THE OC HEALTHCARE AGENCY. AND THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, HE'S NOT A MEMBER OF VOTING MEMBER OF THIS BOARD. LAST TIME I CHECKED, HE'S ALSO NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR. SO THIS DECREE THAT PRESIDENT BUCK MADE WITHOUT THE BOARD'S CONSENT WITHOUT IT BEING VOTED ON. IT'S VERY SUSPICIOUS, AND IT CAUSED A LOT OF PAIN FOR HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS WHEN IT CAME OUT WHEN THEY WERE KICKED TO THE CURB AT A SCHOOL LIKE DOGS, LIKE IN HUMANS. LIKE DOGS. NOT WORTHY OF SCHOOL, SO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? HOW IS THAT LEGAL VIOLATION THERE? GOOD EVENING, LINDA COHN TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR 32

[01:20:09]

THIS IS WITHOUT PARENT KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, AND THIS LAW WENT INTO EFFECT JULY THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR. PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND CHALK ARE EAGER TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES BECAUSE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OFFER AN UNLIMITED MARKET. THIS IS WHY THEY AND THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE WORKED TOGETHER TO FUND WELLNESS CLINICS ON ALL SCHOOL CAMPUSES. THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS UNION AH ASSOCIATION PROMPTED THIS LEGISLATION WHEN SITA'S ASSEMBLY PASSED A POLICY RESOLUTION ADVOCATING GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR THESE SENSITIVE SERVICES. I QUOTE WITHOUT THE BARRIER OF PARENT PERMISSION. SCHOOL BOARDS. YOU CAN STOP THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO OVERSEE AND LIMIT SERVICES THAT ARE WELLNESS CENTERS PROVIDE. YOU ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO SAY NO TO C T. A TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS CONTROL OVER OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU. HI. I'M SHANE E. WHO DO YOU REPRESENT? DO YOU REPRESENT ALL OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS OR JUST THE ONES WHO LOOK LIKE YOU? THINK LIKE YOU AND PRAY LIKE YOU.

THERE HAVE BEEN POSTS AND VIDEOS BY SOME OF YOU SOME OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND SOME CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD THAT TELL ME THAT MY SENIOR AT YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL AND I DO NOT FIT THE MOLD OF THOSE THAT YOU REPRESENT. WE ARE JEWS. WE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS. WE MAY LOOK LIKE YOU, BUT WE DO NOT PRAY LIKE YOU AND WE DON'T THINK LIKE YOU BUT AS A TRUSTEES FOR THIS DISTRICT. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT US ALL OF US BECAUSE WE LIVE IN PLACENTIA.

YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. YOUR JOB IS TO CHOOSE THE BEST CURRICULUM FOR ALL THE STUDENTS, NOT A CURRICULUM THAT FITS YOUR OWN IDEOLOGICAL VIEWS. THERE ARE POSTS FROM YOUR SUPPORTERS CELEBRATING A POTENTIAL CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN MAJORITY ON THE BOARD. WELL, IF YOU WANT A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION, GO TO A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. JUST LIKE IF I EXPECTED A JEWISH EDUCATION FOR MY KIDS, I WOULD SEND THEM TO A JEWISH SCHOOL. THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT AND RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGIES DO NOT BELONG ANYWHERE IN OUR CLASSROOMS OR IN THE CURRICULUM.

THANK YOU. OKAY SO THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES PLEASE GO RIGHT AHEAD FINAL.

CONFIDENCE HERE, BUT THAT AGAIN WAS A VERY GOOD COMMENT IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING, BUT IF WE CAN JUST TRY TO PUSH AWAY FROM THE CAMPAIGN, FOLKS, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY SO THAT BRINGS US NOW TO. OUR GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND WE'RE ALREADY THROUGH ONE,

[GENERAL FUNCTIONS (Part 2 of 2)]

WE ARE PROUD AND

[01:25:05]

SORRY I JUST HAVE TO SAY, BUT I'M SURE WE'RE ALL SEEING IT ANYWAY, AS I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND SCHOOLS, THEY ARE HIGHLIGHTING THAT USUALLY ON THEIR MARQUEES, TOO. SO THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION GOING OUT ABOUT HOW SCHOOLS ARE PLANNING THIS. THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. THAT'S GREAT. OKAY ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. I AM OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 40 WITH AN EYE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. STRONG LINE. OKAY. NEXT NUMBER FOUR. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO REVISE BOARD POLICY. 93 23 AGENDA MEETINGS MATERIALS FIRST READING SECOND OKAY? UM OKAY. DR MATTHEWS, I'LL PASS THIS TO YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PRESIDENT, BUCK TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE CABINET MEMBERS. THIS IS BORDERED BY LAW NUMBER, 9323 AGENDA MEETING MATERIALS. UM SO YOU RECALL IN OUR LAST MEETING, THE TRUSTEES HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS JUST BECAUSE IT'S A PRELIMINARY ITEM LOOKING AT HOW WE'RE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT HOW ITEMS ARE PLACED ON THE BOARD AGENDA. UM I HAVE TAKEN THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND GIVING YOU A FIRST READING POLICY WITH THAT THEY REFLECT, UM, SUGGESTIONS FROM THE GAMUT FROM THE CSB, A BASED ON RECENT CASE LAW AND ALSO COMMENTS MADE BY YOU ARE TRUSTEES AT OUR AUGUST 9TH MEETING. I DO WANT TO ADD THAT ON PAGE NINE, AND THERE ARE COPIES OF THIS IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM, TOO. THERE ARE THERE'S SOME SOME SLIGHT CHANGES MADE

[01:30:05]

YES. AT A MEETING. BECAUSE WE'VE MANY TIMES HAD THINGS COME UP AND SOMEONE'S THERE AND THEN THEY JUST PASSED SOMETHING DOWN, OR SOMETIMES THEY DELIVER IT, ETCETERA. SO OKAY? EITHER YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? I HAVE SOME CHANGES. BUT I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND AND I'M GOING TO GO TO THE NOT CLEAN POPPY. ALRIGHT THAT'S WHY WE HAVE BOTH. YES JUST GIVE THE PAGE NUMBER. UM ON PAGE NINE. UM THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THE IF ANYTHING AND THEN ON THE. ON THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH. LET'S START ANY BOARD MEMBER. ONE OF MY CONCERNS. THAT, UM AND I. I'M HOPING THAT I FOUND A RESOLUTION TO SOLVE IT, BUT THAT IF SOMEONE SUBMITS SOMETHING TO THE BOARD, 10 DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING, THEY KIND OF ASSUME THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA. BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE, UM, THE GINGER IS ALREADY FULL. WE HAVE TIME RESTRAINTS. AND THINGS LIKE THAT , SO I KIND OF WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR. THAT, UM. THAT IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ON THE NEXT AVAILABLE POSSIBLE MEETING AND THIS IS A TOTALLY REWROTE THAT PARAGRAPH. UM AND READS ANY BOARD MEMBER OR MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC MAY REQUEST THAT A MATTER WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD PLACED ON THE AGENDA OF A REGULAR MEETING IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN UP FOR THE UPCOMING MEDIAN AGENDA. THE REQUEST SHALL BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ARE DESIGNATED WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED MEETING DATE ITEMS SUBMITTED LESS THAN 10 DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED MEETING DATE, AS WELL AS SOME ITEMS SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE DEADLINE MAY BE POSTPONED TO A LATER MEETING IN ORDER TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR CONSIDERATION. AND RESEARCH ABOUT THE ISSUE AS WELL AS A AS TO ACCOUNT FOR APPROPRIATENESS, THE UPCOMING MEETING AND MEETING TIME RESTRAINTS. NOW I KNOW IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH, IT SAYS.

THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT, YOU KNOW? UM CAN PLACE THE MEETING WHEN IT'S WHEN HE FEELS LIKE OR SHE FEELS IT'S APPROPRIATE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR. THAT IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATICALLY STAMP GUARANTEE. AND THAT WE HAVE TIME TO DO THAT. SO YOU'RE SORRY JUST TO BE

[01:35:05]

OKAY, CORRECT. SO IT JUST KIND OF MELDED THE IDEAS. OKAY WITH THAT. WOULD YOUR INTENT BE TO HAVE THAT OTHER LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH THERE. REMAIN THAT TALKS ABOUT MOST APPROPRIATE. YES, THAT'S FINE. OKAY THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'S A GOOD ADDITION. OKAY AND THEN ONE MORE CHANGE, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING. UM YOU KNOW, LIKE IF I WANTED SOME WAY TO PRIORITIZE YOU KNOW IF WE GET A SEVERAL REQUESTS A WAY THAT WE CAN PRIORITIZE, AND SO I THOUGHT UNDER UM. UNDER THE THIRD PARAGRAPH, ADDING JUST A SIMPLE THING THAT SAYS IF MULTIPLE REQUESTS ARE RECEIVED, THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL CONFER WITH ALL BOARD MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY TO PRIORITIZE AGENDA ITEMS. SO I'VE GOT. THAT WAS ONE OF MY MAIN GOALS, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ADD SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT HAS MERIT BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SOMETIMES WHEN THERE'S BEEN QUITE A BIT COMING IN SIMULTANEOUSLY AND. STAFF I KNOW WANTS TO DO EVERYTHING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO BRING BACK INFORMATION AND SO ON AND SO ON, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE SAID HAS AGAIN A TRUE VALUE TO THIS. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR ON THAT THE I WOULD TAKE ALL THAT INPUT AND USE THAT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT THAT. CORRECT. THANK YOU. OKAY I ASSUME WE HAVE COPIES OF THAT FOR ME, TOO. IT'S ON THAT ONE. I THINK YOU ALREADY SO I HAVE NO COPIES. BUT I'M GOING TO THROW ALL OF THIS THAT YOU, UM SO IT SEEMS AS I'M READING THROUGH IT. WE START WITH THE AGENDA CONTENT AGENDA PREPARATION. UM, DISSEMINATION, DEVORE DISSEMINATION TO PUBLIC AND AS WE GET INTO AGENDA CON TENT, THE FIRST COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS ARE GOOD. AND THEN, UM, THE THIRD PARAGRAPH TALKS ABOUT THE TIME AND POSTING AT A REMARKED, RIGHT THE NEXT ONE, UM, AGED 10 PAGE EIGHT. I APOLOGIZE. UM SO THE 3RD AND 4TH PARAGRAPHS THERE IT TALKS ABOUT WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND SO I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE MAYBE MOVE THAT PARAGRAPH TO THE DISSEMINATION.

UM, PARAGRAPH AS YOU LOOK AT THE DISSEMINATION. IT TALKS ABOUT 72 HOURS FOR A REGULAR. WE COULD PUT THE SPECIAL MEETING THERE. UM THE DISSEMINATION TO PUBLIC ALSO SAYS 72 HOURS AND 24 HOURS.

IT JUST IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A LITTLE INCONGRUOUS AND IT WOULD AND IT WOULD BE BETTER IF IT WAS CHUNKED TOGETHER AT THE SAME WAY. UM GOING BACK TO AGENDA COMMENT. IT HOPS AROUND A LITTLE BIT. IT'S A IT DOESN'T QUITE SAY WHAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE AGENDA. BUT WE DO OUTLINE THAT.

AND THE AGENDA DISSEMINATION TO BOARD MEMBERS AND THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH SO MAYBE CONSIDER MOVING THAT PIECE OF IT THAT TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE AGENDA TO THE AGENDA CONTENT. AND THEN THE ONLY THE DISSEMINATION ONLY TALKS ABOUT THE TIME. UM. WAS THAT IT? I THINK THAT'S IT. OKAY I FOUND ONE MORE OKAY? PAGE 10. THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOUT AGENDA DISSEMINATION TO BOARD MEMBERS. UM I THINK WE SHOULD STRIKE THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEES REPORT. TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BECAUSE WE DON'T GET THAT UNTIL WE ACTUALLO THAT. THAT MAKES SENSE, SO I THINK IT CAN BE LISTED AS ONE OF THOSE CONTENT AREAS, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. WE DON'T GET THAT AHEAD OF TIME. CORRECT. OKAY I HOPE I DIDN'T THROW THAT ALL AT YOU, BUT IT JUST SEEMED TO BE KIND OF POPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT CONTENT FOR THE TIME AND SO I THOUGHT AT THE TIME MIGHT BE BETTER FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF ME, BUT THAT'S OKAY. I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT. FIGURE THAT OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY YEAH. YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ME IF NEEDED. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE? I JUST LIKE TO SAY I REALLY HAVEN'T THROWN ANYTHING TONIGHT. GOOD APPRECIATE YOU. ALRIGHT SO AND SEEING OTHER COMMENTS. DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? LUCY OKAY, GOOD . TAKE THAT TOGETHER AND BRING IT BACK FOR APPROVAL AT AN EXPORT MEETING. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT SO, WITH THIS FIRST READING AGAIN, IT'S COMING BACK . SO IT'S AN APPROVAL JUST TO MOVE FORWARD. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 40 AND THEN I FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. AND NEXT INDEPENDENT STUDY. OKAY I WILL MAKE MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE REVISED BOARD POLICY. 61 41.5 ENTITLED INDEPENDENT STUDY AS A FIRST

BEING FOURTH FOR YOU TONIGHT, THE FIRST READ OF INDEPENDENT STUDY BOARD POLICY 6141.5. SORRY I LEFT MY GLASSES IN MY OFFICE. SO WINGING IT HERE WITHOUT MY READING GLASSES. I APOLOGIZE. YEAH I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING A THROUGH 12TH GRADE EDUCATION ON THE BEST BUDGET TRAILER BILL 81 81. PUTTING ON JUNE 30TH 2022 AS A FOLLOW UP TO A B 1 30, RELEASED IN JULY OF 2021 UPDATES TO THE INDEPENDENT STUDY POLICY INCLUDE LANGUAGE RELATED TO ACCESS TO INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. IN ADDITION, CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE LANGUAGE ABOUT WORK COMPLETION AND LATER LATE ASSIGNMENTS AS WELL AS TIERED RE ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES. THE DISTRICT PROPOSES A REVISION OF THE FOLLOWING BOARD POLICY FIRST READING. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. YES ALSO. OKAY COMMENT. OKAY UM, MY DAUGHTER WENT THROUGH INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR A LITTLE WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, SO I'M INCREDIBLY FAMILIAR WITH IT, AND ALSO THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING SURE THEY'RE MEETING THEIR TARGETS AND NOT BECOMING CREDIT EFFICIENT, WHICH HAPPENED. WHICH HAPPENED TO US AS WELL, UM, BUT MY TWO QUESTIONS ARE, UM WELL. THE FIRST ONE IS ON PAGE 22 AT THE AT THE TOP THAT TALKS ABOUT THE STUDENT'S INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM TEAM, AND I WAS WONDERING WHO'S IN THAT EDUCATION PROGRAM TEAM. DOES IT INCLUDE THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENT? IT DOES INCLUDE THE PARENT AND THE STUDENT. YES, THANK YOU. AND MY SECOND QUESTION ON PAGE 23 MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. IT TALKS ABOUT STUDENT. MRS FOR ASSIGNMENTS. DOES THAT MEAN AND THEN THAT WILL TRIGGER? UM THAT CAN HAPPEN IN ONE DAY. SO DOES THAT MEAN FOR MISSING ASSIGNMENTS IN ONE CLASS? OR DOES IT MEAN ALTOGETHER? DID YOU SEE THAT? IT'S JUST GOING FINDING IT RIGHT NOW. IT'S THE ONLY PAIR ONLY DOUBLE LINED. THE WORDS I SEE IT. I'M JUST READING IT FOR CONTEXT AGAIN. ASSIGNMENTS IN THIS CASE MEANS FOR A CLASS IN THE CASE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WOULD HAVE MULTIPLE CLASSES AT THE SAME TIME. SO IF FOR ASSIGNMENTS WERE MISSED IN ONE CLASS THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE OPPORTUNITY NOW, THAT COULD HAPPEN IN ONE DAY, AND SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE REALISTIC APPROACH TO HOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT IN THE CLASSROOM , BUT BUT IT DOES SAY FOR ASSIGNMENTS. AND SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD ALERT THE TEACHER THAT THE INTERVENTION IS NEEDED.

OKAY? IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT FOUR CLASSES AND FOR ONE SUBJECT MATTER OR IS THAT KIND OF THAT'S WHERE YOU REALLY THINK WE CAN CONSIDER THAT LANGUAGE. WE DID RUN THIS LANGUAGE BY THE ATTORNEYS AT O C, D. E SO I THINK YOU KNOW, AS WE CONSIDER CHANGES THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE ONE WE COULD CONSIDER AS WELL JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE CLEAR. THAT'S ALL I CAN ONLY IMAGINE ONE DAY IF YOU WALK IN WITHOUT IT THAT DID THIS SENSE OF PANIC. YES I GUESS THERE ARE DAYS WHEN THERE ARE FOUR ASSIGNMENTS IN ONE CLASS. OKAY, THAT'S REALLY ALL MY QUESTION.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? HMM. NO, JUST, UM IT'S INTERESTING TO ME HOW MUCH INDEPENDENT STUDY HAS CHANGED, AND WE JUST RENEWED THIS ONE LAST YEAR. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND TRYING TO KEEP US CURRENT. WITH ALL THE CHANGES OF THE LOSS. YOU'RE WELCOME. IT'S JUST BECOME A MUCH MORE COMMON PRACTICE. AND SO YES, I AM ANTICIPATE CHANGES EVERY YEAR . WELL, THAT'S GOOD. AND THEN HAPPY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK EXCITED FOR THAT. OKAY I KIND OF HAVE A QUESTION. SO I HAVE, UM SOMEONE WAS TALKING AT ONE SPORTING EVENT. I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE BUT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THEIR CHILD CAME OUT OF HOME SCHOOL, AND IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROGRAM. WAS THERE ANY

[01:45:04]

NOW, I WAS WONDERING IF CAN YOU DO INDEPENDENT STUDY FOR A COUPLE OF CLASSES SAY IF THEY WANTED TO GRADUATE AS A SENIOR, SAY THEIR SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW AND THEN THEY'RE SAYING ALL OF YOUR FRESHMAN CLASSES ARE MISSING, SO WHETHER THAN BEING HELD BACK AFTER REPEAT, IS THERE A WAY THAT THEY CAN STILL TAKE THEIR FULL CLASSES AND GO INTO INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM MAY BE MAKING UP A CLASS OR TWO BY THE TIME GRADUATION, OR IS IT JUST YOU'RE EITHER IN OR YOU'RE OUT FOR THE FULL GAMBIT LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREDIT RECOVERY. AND SO, UM, INDEPENDENT STUDY COURSES IS ONE PART OF THAT. THERE'S APEX CREDIT RECOVERY ON THE SCHOOL SITE CAMPUSES INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM WE'RE REFERRING TO HERE IS OUR INDEPENDENT STUDY SCHOOL . THEY HAVE OPTIONS, THOUGH, WHERE STUDENTS CAN TAKE THAT PROGRAM, THEN BE CONCURRENTLY ENROLLED INTO CLASSES AT THEIR HOME SCHOOL. OR ALSO THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE HYBRID PROGRAM AT ONE OF US TO WHERE THERE IN PERSON AND THEY'RE TAKING SOME CLASSES. INDEPENDENT STUDY INDEPENDENT STUDIES A CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT RECOVERY. IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF CLASSES THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE UP, THANK YOU. I WOULD RECOMMEND WELCOMING NOW, IF YOU GET TO THAT POINT, WHICH WE DID. OKAY. UM, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY GREAT WITH THAT. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FOR ZERO. AND THAT BRINGS US NOW TO BUSINESS

[BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL]

OKAY, WELL, THANK YOU, AND GOOD EVENING. TONIGHT WE'RE INTERVIEW WITH YOU ARE NOT ACTUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 21 22. AND THIS REPORT REPRESENTS OUR HONORED ACTUAL FINANCIAL DATA. AS OF JUNE 30TH OF 2022 FOR THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR AGENDA FOR TONIGHT. FIRST WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE A REPORT OF OUR HONORED ACTUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OUR FINAL ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE KEY REVISIONS THAT WE'RE INCLUDING THE STATES THAT OPTED BUDGET FOR 22 23, AS WELL AS A REVIEW OF RL CFF FUNDING PROJECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE DISTRICT'S MULTI YEAR PROJECTIONS, WHICH HAVE BEEN UPDATED REFLECT CHANGES SINCE THE GOVERNOR RELEASED HIS MAY REVISION. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA FINISH UP WITH A REVIEW OF OUR BUDGET TIMELINE THE NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS AND THEN TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING FORWARD. SO INCLUDING THE BOARD'S PACKET IS A COMPLETE ON AUDIT ACTUALS REPORT FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR, AND OUR STAFF PREPARED THIS REPORT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ED CODE SECTION 42 100, WHICH STATES THAT ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER, 15TH, THE GOVERNING BOARD OF EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT, SHALL APPROVE AN ANNUAL STATEMENT OF OUR RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES FOR THE PRECEDING FISCAL YEAR. AND THEN THE FINAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR . WE PRESENTED THE BOARD IN JANUARY 2023. THAT'S AFTER OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS HAVE COMPLETED ALL THEIR REQUIRED WORK. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF EARNING FUND BALANCE AS WE CLOSED OUT A LAST FISCAL YEAR, 21 22. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN OUR GENERAL FUND WE CLOSE WITH A COMBINED FUND BALANCE OF JUST OVER $92.3 MILLION 55.4 MILLION IS IN UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTS JUST OVER 36.9 MILLION AND RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS. WE ALSO HAVE THAT LEGAL RESTRICTED RESERVE FOR CASH AND STORES THAT WE HAVE SET ASIDE IT JUST OVER 317,000. AND THEN IN THE SENATOR SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE SET ASIDE SOME RESERVES, OTHER COMMITMENTS. SO SITES AND SUPPLEMENTAL CARRYOVER AT 2.8 MILLION TEXTBOOK ADOPTIONS AT FIVE MILLION WE HAVE DECLINING ENROLLMENT AT 10 MILLION AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE DEFICIT MITIGATION AT JUST OVER 4.8 MILLION. THEN YOU CAN SEE WE ALSO SET ASIDE A RESERVE FOR ALL OF OUR RESTRICTED CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS AT JUST OVER $36.9 MILLION. WE ALSO HAVE A CONTINGENCY RESERVE OF 16.2 MILLION AND THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE US WITH THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES OF 5% OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET, OR 16.2 MILLION. NOT THE TIME OUR STAFF PRESENTED THE 21 22 ESTIMATED ACTUAL. THIS WAS BACK IN JUNE. WE PROJECTED THE DISTRICT WOULD CLOSE WITH A 54.5 MILLION AND ARE UNRESTRICTED ANY FUN BALANCE THE DISTRICTS ON IT ACTUALS AND RESTRICTED. ANY FUN BALANCE CAME IN AT 55.4 MILLION AND REPRESENTED A DIFFERENCE OR VARIANTS. OF $900,000 FROM OUR EARLIER PROJECTIONS, AND THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT A 0.3% VARIANTS BASED ON OUR TOTAL ESTIMATED OPERATING EXPENDITURES AT BUDGET ADOPTION. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES SINCE THE GOVERNOR RELEASED HIS MAY

[01:50:05]

THE BUDGET ACT ALSO INCLUDES A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE ONE TIME DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT.

IT WAS PROPOSED IN MAY AS WELL AND THIS GRANT HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM EIGHT BILLION DOWN THE 3.6 BILLION AND HAS BEEN RENAMED THE ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT. AND THEN, LASTLY, THEY ENACTED BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 7.9 BILLION, AND THIS IS A NEW ONE TIME LEARNING RECOVERY BLOCK GRANT FUNDS. AND WE'RE GOING TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION ON EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS A LITTLE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS CHART JUST SUMMARIZES THE KEY CHANGES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. AND IT ALSO INCLUDES THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL AS WELL AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART FUNDING HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IN FACT, PROPOSITION 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE HAS INCREASED BY 19.5 BUILT. EXCUSE ME, NOT YET. $19.5 BILLION FOR FISCAL YEARS, 21 22. AND 22 23 SINCE JANUARY OF THIS PAST YEAR. AND SO THIS LIGHT HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL DETAILS SURROUNDING THE NEW ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTION MATERIALS. DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT. ARTISTIC EXPECTS TO RECEIVE $15 MILLION.01 TIME GRANT FUNDS CAN BE USED TO COVER ANY OPERATIONAL COSTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RETIREMENT AND HEALTH CARE COST INCREASES. THE ONE TIME FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO OBTAIN STANDARDS, LINE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RELATED TO THE ARTS , MUSIC AND OTHER SUBJECT AREAS, AS WELL AS MATERIALS AND TRAINING RELATED TO IMPROVING SCHOOL CLIMATE OR EXPENSES RELATED TO COVID 19. AND OF COURSE, THE BOARD WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVE AN EXPENDITURE PLAN WHICH OUTLINES ALL THE PLAN USES FOR THESE ONE TIME FUNDS, AND OUR STAFF WILL BRING FORWARD SOME OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION AT FUTURE BOARD MEETING. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE NEW ONE TIME LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY BLOCK GRANT. SO OUR DISTRICT EXPECTS TO RECEIVE 24.2 MILLION AND ONE TIME FUNDS AND THIS CAN BE USED FOR LEARNING RECOVERY INITIATIVES THROUGH THE 27 28 SCHOOL YEAR. AND THESE 1.1 TIME FUNDS MUST BE USED TO INCREASE INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING TIME.

REMEMBER TO IMPLEMENT OR EXPAND LEARNING SUPPORTS AIMED AT CLOSING LEARNING GAPS. NUMBER THREE. INTEGRATE PUPIL SUPPORTS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO STUDENT LEARNING.

FOR PROVIDE ACCESS TO INSTRUCTION FOR CREDIT DEFICIENT PUPILS AND THEN LASTLY, NUMBER FIVE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SERVICES TO STUDENTS SUCH AS DIAGNOSTIC PROGRESS, MONITORING AND THEN BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS. SO TO ADDRESS THE SEVERE DROPS IN BOTH ENROLLMENT AND AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE THAT DISTRICTS EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC . THE BUDGET ACT INCLUDES TWO VERY IMPORTANT PROVISIONS. FIRST DISTRICTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO USE THE GREATER OF CURRENT YEAR PRIOR YEAR OR THE AVERAGE OF THREE PRIOR YEARS. 80 A AND THIS PROVISION WILL HAVE THE IMPACT OF SPREADING BOTH ENROLLMENT. AN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE FUNDING LOSSES THAT WE EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, USING A THREE YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE. A SECOND FOR FISCAL YEAR, 21 22 ONLY DISTRICTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO USE THE GREATER CURRENT YEAR 88 OR CURRENT YEAR ENROLLMENT ADJUSTED FOR THE ABSENCE RATE IN 19 2020. THAT'S AS LONG AS CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. WITHOUT THESE TWO NEW PROVISIONS ARE DISTRICT L CFF FUNDING WOULD HAVE BEEN REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY $22 MILLION. IN THE CURRENT YEAR. INSTEAD THE FUNNY REDUCTIONS WILL ACTUALLY SPREAD OUT OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD. AND WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT OF THESE NEW PROVISIONS. WHEN WE REVIEW OUR L C F F FUNDING PROJECTIONS HERE IN A BIT YOUR DISTRICT ALSO EXPECTS TO RECEIVE ABOUT $9.7 MILLION AND ONGOING EXPANDED LEARNINGS OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM FUNDING BEGINNING IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THESE FUNDS MUST BE USED TO PROVIDE BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL SUMMER AND INTERCESSION, LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR ALL OF OUR DUPLICATED STUDENTS AND TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THE SIXTH GRADE. THERE'S ALSO A NEW TRANSPORTATION COMPONENT. THAT REPORT REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO ANY STUDENT WHO ATTENDS THE SCHOOL THAT DOES NOT OPERATE IN THE L.

A P PROGRAM. TO A SCHOOL SITE THAT DOES OPERATE THAT PROGRAM. FORTUNATELY THE CURRENT YEAR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR REMAINS A GRACE PERIOD FOR AUDIT PURPOSES OVER BEGINNING IN FISCAL YEAR.

23 24 ANY AUDIT FINDINGS RELATED TO PROGRAM NONCOMPLIANCE WILL RESULT IN REDUCED FUNDING, SO AS

[01:55:02]

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE FUNDING DISTRICTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO ADOPT A TRANSPORTATION PLAN BY APRIL 1ST OF 2023 THEN ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. AND THAT PLAN MUST DESCRIBE THE SERVICES THAT WILL OFFER STUDENTS HOW TRANSPORTATION SERVICES WILL BE PRIORITIZED FOR STUDENTS AND TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH. EXCUSE ME THROUGH SIXTH GRADE, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR LOW INCOME STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY DISTRICTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHARGE ANY TRANSPORTATION FEES TO OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS ARE LOW INCOME OR FOSTER YOUTH. NEXT WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT OUR LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA PROJECTIONS AS WELL AS OUR MULTIYEAR PROJECTION. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THOSE LCF AND FUNDING PROJECTIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR . 22 23, YOU CAN SEE WE'VE INCLUDED THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. FOR 22, 23 OR TOTAL L CFF FUNDING INCREASE COMING IN AT JUST OVER 27.9 MILLION OF THAT 24.9 MILLION OF THAT IS IN THE BASE GRANT AND THEN JUST OVER THREE MILLION IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL GRANTS, AND SO THAT $27 MILLION, OF COURSE, REFLECTS THE INCREASED STATUTORY COLA OF 6.56. THE 6.28% COAL AUGMENTATION AND THEN THE COVID 88 RELIEF PACKAGE AS WELL. AND THEN IN 23 24 24 25. YOU CAN SEE THAT PROJECTED INCREASE IN L C. F F FUNDING DROPS PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY DOWN TO 6.4 MILLION AND THEN 1.4 MILLION RESPECTIVELY, AND REALLY, TO TWO COMPONENTS THERE, THE COLA'S AND THE OUT YEAR, OF COURSE, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS 5.38% AND 23 24. AND 4.2% AND 24 25, THEN THE OTHER MAJOR FACTOR, OF COURSE, IS THE DECLINING ENROLLMENT THAT WE EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC YEARS. THE REMAINING TWO YEARS OF THAT LOSS WILL BE FELT IN THOSE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION SUMMARY. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE WE'VE INCLUDED ARE 21 22 ON AUDIT ACTUALS. WE ALSO HAVE ON HERE. THE 22 23 REVISED BUDGET AND TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AND FOR LAST YEAR YOU CAN SEE WE CLOSED OUT LAST YEAR WITH AN OPERATING SURPLUS. $5.4 MILLION, HOWEVER, THAT NOT OPERATING SURPLUS INCLUDES SOME ONE TIME EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES. WHEN WE BACK OUT THOSE ONE TIME ADJUSTMENTS WERE LEFT WITH A STRUCTURAL SURPLUS LAST YEAR OF 1.5 MILLION. HEADING INTO 22 23 . YOU CAN SEE THAT OPERATING DEFICIT INCREASES AGAIN. THAT'S DUE THAT THE STATUTORY CALLER THAT WE'RE RECEIVING THAT YEAR AS WELL AS THE COAL AUGMENTATION THAT COVID RELIEF PACKAGE. AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE SURPLUS INCREASES TO JUST UNDER 15.2 MILLION. AND THEN IN 23 24 INCREASES AGAIN TO APPROXIMATELY 21.3 MILLION BEFORE DROPPING IN 24 25 DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY $19 MILLION AND THE REASON FOR THAT DECLINE IN THE LAST YEAR, OPERATING COSTS ARE INCREASING FASTER THAN OUR PROJECTED INCREASES IN L C. F F FUNDING AND AGAIN, THAT'S DUE TO THAT. THE REDUCTION THE COLON THAT YOU'RE AND THOSE ADDITIONAL COST INCREASES. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE NEXT STEPS IN OUR BUDGETING PROCESS. AND SO IN MID DECEMBER , WILL PRESENT THE DISTRICTS FIRST ENTER AND FINANCIAL REPORT THAT'S GOING TO INCLUDE OUR ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS THROUGH OCTOBER. 31ST ALSO INCLUDE UPDATED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FORECAST AND THEN IN MID MARCH, WILL PRESENT THE DISTRICT SECOND INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT THAT WILL INCLUDE ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS THROUGH JANUARY, 31ST. UPDATED REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FORECAST FOR BOTH THE CURRENT AND TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND THEN AT THAT TIME, WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL THAT WILL SHARE WITH THE BOARD AS WELL. AND THEN IN EARLY JUNE WILL HAVE THEIR PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE BOTH THE LOW CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN AND ARE ADOPTED BUDGET AND THEN IN LATE JUNE, WE'LL PRESENT BOTH THE ADOPTED BUDGET AND THE EL CAP FOR THE BOARD'S FINAL APPROVAL. AND THEN WE'RE JUST GOING TO WRAP UP WITH JUST A REVIEW OF SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING FORWARD. AND SO WE KNOW. DECLINING ENROLLMENT CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR OUR DISTRICT AS WELL AS DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, THE STATE AND THE NATION FOR THAT MATTER, AND OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS ALONE, OR DISTRICT ENROLLMENTS DECLINED BY ABOUT 1480 STUDENTS , AND THIS YEAR DISTRICT ENROLLMENTS DOWN BY 322 STUDENTS OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, AND THAT'S PRIMARILY IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE LEVELS. SO WITH A PROJECTED DECLINING ENROLLMENT

[02:00:06]

I HAVE ONE QUESTION. IN THE BOOK ON PAGE EIGHT. UM AND INCOME AND THAT LITTLE 2ND 2ND BOX IT SAYS TRANSFERS TO CHARTER SCHOOLS IN LIEU OF PROPERTY TAXES AT JUST AROUND $18,000, CAN YOU AND I'M PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T ASK THIS EARLIER. SO PAIGE PAIGE, EIGHT. IT'S UM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. THERE'S A SMALLER BOX. AND ABOUT HALFWAY IN THAT SMALLER BOXES HAS TRANSFERRED TO CHARTER SCHOOLS IN LOW PROPERTY TAXES AROUND $18,000. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? DO YOU HAVE THE OBJECT CODE THEIR RESPECT? THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PAGES. THE PAGE 696.

TINY LITTLE NUMBERS. YES, I SEE IT NOW. SO, UM I CAN GET YOU THE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON THAT. BUT CHARTER SCHOOLS DO RECEIVE THEIR FAIR SHARE OF PROPERTY TAXES, AND SO THAT WOULD BE A TRANSFER OUT TO ANY CHARTER SCHOOLS. BUT I'LL GET YOU THE SPECIFICS ON WHICH ONES THAT WOULD BE, BUT I CAN GET I CAN BRING BACK BACK THE DETAIL. WE GET ALL THE PROPERTY TAX INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WHO GETS IT FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY TREASURER TAX COLLECTOR'S OFFICE SO THAT I CAN GET YOU THAT IMPRINT THAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT. UM, MAY I FOLLOW UP ON THAT? SO AGAIN, SINCE THIS IS SOMETHING TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT IS THIS? COULD THIS REFLECT? STUDENTS THAT ARE IN A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT OTHERWISE BE HERE IN OUR DISTRICT, OR MAYBE YOU THERE'S MORE TO LEARN ON WHAT THAT MEANS. I'LL DIG UP A LITTLE BIT, DO SOME RESEARCH FOR YOU AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU VERY MUCH APOLOGIZE FOR NOT ASKING EARLIER. SO YOU'RE PREPARED. I USUALLY TRY TO DO THAT. BUT MORE TO COME. UM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY WITH THAT? WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE, AYE. OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 40 AND BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL LUCY. YOU DON'T VOTE IN, BUT YOU VOTE FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. AND IF I MAY, LUCIUS PERSONALLY O'CLOCK, SO IF YOU HAVE STUDYING TO DO YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY. BUT IF YOU HAVE THINGS YOU NEED TO WORK ON WITH ALL THIS STUFF I MENTIONED EARLIER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO THAT. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. LOVELY TO HAVE YOU AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. IT WAS A PEN THAT I HAD AVAILABLE.

OKAY SO NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NUMBER TWO IN BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL IF I COULD GET A FIRST AND A SECOND HMM. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT, RENEWABLE MEDICAL INSURANCE WITH SELF INSURED SCHOOLS TO CALIFORNIA FROM OCTOBER 1ST 2022 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH 2023 2ND.

OKAY AND I JUST PUT MY SHOOT AWAY FROM MY CHEEK. I AM PASSING THIS AGAIN TO MR GERARDO? NO OKAY, SO THIS ITEM IS TO PROVE THE CONTRACT RENEWAL AND THIS IS WITH SELF INSURED SCHOOLS, CALIFORNIA ALSO KNOWN AS SISK, AND THIS IS TO PROVIDE MEDICAL BENEFITS TO ALL OF OUR BENEFIT BENEFIT ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES, RETIREES AND DEPENDENTS. AND THIS IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST OF 2022. THROUGH SEPTEMBER. 30TH OF 2023. THIS IS A JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY THAT'S ADMINISTERED BY THE CURRENT COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT SCHOOLS AND PROVIDES MEDICAL BENEFITS TO BENEFIT ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES, RETIREES AND DEPENDENTS. IT'S ALSO THE LARGEST PUBLIC SCHOOL POOL IN THE UNITED STATES, MADE OF APPROXIMATELY 400 EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES WITH OVER 300,000 MEMBERS. AND ALTHOUGH THE PREMIUM INCREASES FOR THE 22 23 RENEWAL VARIED BY PLAN, THE AVERAGE INCREASE ACROSS ALL PLANS CAME IN BELOW NATIONAL TREND AT 5.9. GREAT. ANY COMMENTS. WITH THAT WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR HIGH AND OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 40. AND

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

[02:05:01]

[21. Approve the Playworks Contract for Team Up with Fairmont Elementary School from September 14, 2022 - June 15, 2023.]

BUT NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE AND FROM WHAT WE'RE READING ABOUT. THIS PROGRAM IS. LIKE ONE OF THE EXAMPLES WAS AS YOU HAVE A KID WHO MIGHT BE VERY GOOD AND SOCCER OUT THERE ON THE PLAYGROUND AND THIS KID'S THE TEAM CAPTAIN, AND SO SOMEONE NOW COMES IN AN ADULT COMES IN AND SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS GUY IS NOT THE TEAM, CAPTAIN. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS PERSON THE TEAM CAPTAIN BECAUSE OF EQUITY OR WHATEVER THESE THINGS INVOLVED, AND SO THEY'RE CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF THE PLAYGROUND. AND SO I WOULD THINK IF WE HOLD OFF ON THIS ITEM, MAYBE JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, UH THIS PROGRAM THAT WE'RE IN BECAUSE I MEAN, THIS IS KIND OF THE KIDS FREEDOM TO BE UNSUPERVISED AT LUNCHTIME WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING, NOT UNSUPERVISED. I'M SORRY, NOT UNSUPERVISED, BUT IT'S THEIR FREEDOM TO PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND WITHOUT PEOPLE REDIRECTING THEIR ACTIVITIES AND THEIR PLAY, AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT FROM WHAT WE'RE READING ON THEIR STATEMENT THAT YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO SUPPORT SOMETHING THAT MAKES STATEMENTS LIKE THIS, SO THAT'S WHY I PULLED IT. IF I MAY. I THINK YOU KNOW THE BEAUTY ABOUT PLAYWORKS AND WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO BRING, YOU KNOW, ONTO THE CAMPUS OF SCHOOLS HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH THEM, AND WE'VE HAD SEVERAL SCHOOLS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THEM COME ON AND ACTUALLY TRAIN . THE GREAT THING ABOUT THEM IS THEY COME ON, AND THEY DO IT A TRAINER OF TRAINERS MODELS, SO THEY TRAIN THE STAFF AND THEY TRAINED THE STUDENTS TO BE LEADERS WITHIN THEIR OWN RIGHT TO REALLY HELP RESOLVE CONFLICT AND, YOU KNOW, LEAD SOME OF THE YOUNGER STUDENTS ON THE PLAYGROUND. BUT I THINK YOU KNOW THE BEAUTY ABOUT WHAT IT IS IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THEY WILL BRING IN ORGANIZED AND STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES ONTO THE PLAYGROUND. BUT THERE IS STILL THAT ABILITY FOR STUDENTS WHO DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE PARTICULAR GAMES TO STILL, YOU KNOW, DEAL.

WHAT IF THEY HAVE YOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS? AND THEY HAVE A STUDENT WANTS TO SIT AT A TABLE AND READ A BOOK, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THAT, UM, FROM WHAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, HEARD DIRECTLY FROM OUR PRINCIPLES AND OUR STAFF EDDIE TO THE SCHOOL SITES WHO HAVE USED PLAYWORKS AND OTHER COMPANIES. YOU KNOW WHO OFFERS AN NOTHING SIMILAR. THAT THE DECREASE IN DISCIPLINE REFERRALS HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT. THE ABILITY FOR YOU KNOW STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN OWN CONFLICT. REALLY YOU KNOW WHAT IT TEACHES THIS CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND SO YOU KNOW, WHILE WE DO HAVE SUPERVISORS WHO ARE OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND, THERE'S A HIGH ELEMENT OF SAFETY. AS A RESULT OF THAT, I THINK THERE'S A THERE'S AN ELEMENT OF RESILIENCE. YOU KNOW THAT THE STUDENTS LEARN BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVE TO CONSTANTLY GOING TO AN ADULT ON THE PLAYGROUND TO RESOLVE YOU KNOW, THERE. HAVING A CONFLICT THERE, YOU KNOW, ARGUING OVER WHOSE CHANCE IT IS, YOU KNOW, TURN IT IS WITH A

[02:10:03]

[02:15:06]

THESE ARE OUR DISTRICT'S POLICIES AND OUR RULES AND WE RESPECT FOR WHAT YOU'RE TEACHING BECAUSE THEY TEACH THEM REALLY GREAT THINGS, YOU KNOW? UM THERE'S SIX RULES OF PLAY OR AWESOME. UM THE ONE I REALLY LIKE. WHICH I THINK A LOT OF. I'VE HEARD. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM PARENTS IS, YOU KNOW UM, THEY SAY PLAY IS NOT TREATED AS A REWARD TO BE REVOKED. AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PARENTS HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THEIR KIDS HAVE LOST RECESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT , AND THAT'S THEY SHOULDN'T BE LOSING THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE A REWARD TO GO TO RECESS. THIS IS JUST PART OF THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCE. AND SO I THINK YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE KEY ELEMENTS THAT THEY DO TEACH. AND EXPAND ON ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. I APPRECIATE THAT, AND WE CAN ABSOLUTELY AND WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM TO SHARE THAT RESOLUTION. I LOVE THAT ANALOGY . HE USED IT. IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE ONE YOU USED EARLIER ON TRUSTEE BLADES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING A JOB INTERVIEW, AND I THINK THERE IS THAT COMPONENT OF ABSOLUTELY I THINK ANYONE WE ALLOW ON INVITE ONTO OUR CAMPUS . THERE'S A EXPECTATION THAT YES , YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR OUR

[02:20:04]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I OPPOSED. SO ONE? NO AND THREE. YES. THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND THAT BRINGS US NOW TO OUR FINAL VOTE. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. WAIT. DID WE HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT FUTURE ITEMS THAT I MISS SOMETHING? OH YES, WE DID. THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT'S UP THERE. I TAKE IT BACK. ANYBODY HAVE A FUTURE ITEM? NOT NOPE. OKAY OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. NO RUSH. I HAD A MOTION BY MR FREEMAN, SECOND BY MRS BLADES THE FIRST TIME, SO WE'LL GIVE HER THAT AGAIN. UM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES 40 AND WE ADJOURNED AT 9:20 P.M.
