SO THE FIRST ONE WILL BE JANET DELFIN, FOLLOWED BY ANDY FALCO AND PAULA POWERS. AND IF YOU REPEAT YOUR NAME WHEN YOU START THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. JUST RIGHT AFTER THE DIASTOLIC. JANET DELPHINE. GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JANET DOLPHIN. AND UNTIL RECENTLY, I WAS A PARENT AT PLACENTIA. YOU'RE WILLING TO SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE PURPOSE OF MY TIME HERE IS TO SEEK YOUR ATTENTION AND SUPPORT FOR A VERY DISTURBING AND TRAUMATIZING INCIDENT THAT MY DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED AT GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY. A BOY AT GLENBROOK ELEMENTARY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS EIGHT YEARS OLD . THE SALT OCCURRED DURING CLASS TIME THE BOY SQUEEZED MY DAUGHTER'S PRIVATE AREA AS SHE WAS WALKING BACK TO HER SEAT. THAT SALT WAS REPORTED BY MY DAUGHTER TO ME ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 11TH. I IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED HER TEACHER VIA EMAIL THE NEXT DAY, AND I ENGAGED TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. I SHOWED UP AT THE SCHOOL ONLY TO HAVE THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL TELL ME THEY HAD NO TIME TO TALK TO ME. BECAUSE THERE WAS NATIONAL SCHOOL DAY WALK TO SCHOOL DAY. I STOOD THERE WITH MY DAUGHTER IN TEARS AND IN SHOCK AT THE ALOOF BEHAVIOR OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. LATER THAT DAY, I WAS FINALLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TO DISCUSS THE INCIDENT. THE SCHOOL AFTER AN INVESTIGATION TOLD ME THAT THE STORY OF MY DAUGHTER WAS TELLING WAS INCONSISTENT AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE FURTHER THAN MY REQUEST FOR ME.

REMEDIAL ACTION, WHICH INCLUDED REMOVAL OF THE BOY FROM THE CLASSROOM WAS DENIED BECAUSE OF CLASS SIZE RESTRICTIONS. REQUESTS FOR EXTRA SUPERVISION WAS ALSO DENIED, ALLEGING THAT THE SCHOOL ALREADY PROVIDES SUPERVISION. I REQUESTED SUPPORT OF PAYMENT FOR COUNSELING TO HELP. MY DAUGHTER ALSO DENIED. I REQUEST THAT THIS BOARD TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE ENTIRE FILE SO YOU CAN GAIN AWARENESS OF THE INCIDENT AT ONE OF YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND HELP

[00:10:01]

SO I'M GONNA START WITH RYAN S PRE A SHOT. THEN LINDA MANNION. PAULA POWERS. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME TODD FRAZIER TO THE BOARD AND PRAY THAT YOU'RE PREPARED FOR THE HARD WORK AHEAD . GET READY FOR THE COUNTLESS HOURS OF PREPARATION NEEDED FOR TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE ISSUES THE TRAINING, YOU'LL NEED TO LEARN TO KNOW THE EXPECTATIONS OF YOUR POSITION AND THE ORGANIZATION. YOU WILL HAVE TO VISIT THE HUNDREDS OF CLASSROOMS WITHIN A SCHOOL YEAR.

LIKE TRUSTEES, BUCK AND ANDERSON. NO SUCCESSFUL MEMBERS FERVENTLY SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS, ALLOW OUR KIDS TO SHINE AND NEVER TAKES CENTER STAGE. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION ON THE BOARD IS A NONPARTISAN JOB. YOUR PREDECESSOR NEVER SOUGHT THE ENDORSEMENT OF A POLITICAL PARTY AND ALWAYS SUPPORTED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SHE JOINED THE BOARD WITH THE BREATH OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MANY DECISIONS MADE IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE OF HER YEARS OF VOLUNTEERISM. HER POSITION WAS NEVER A RUNG ON A POLITICAL LADDER. NOR WAS IT A SEGUE TO A SEGMENT ON A LOCAL PODCAST. I HOPE YOU'RE UP FOR THIS CHALLENGE OF THIS AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. YOU HAVE TO HELP HEAL THIS COMMUNITY FROM THE MISINFORMATION SPREAD DURING THE PAST ELECTION ABOUT WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT IN OUR CLASSROOMS. YOU NEED TO SUPPORT TEACHERS WHO DEDICATE THEIR CAREERS TO THE KIDS OF THIS COMMUNITY. I PRAY YOU SAW THIS POSITION BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. GOOD LUCK, TRUSTEE. FRASER, YOU HAVE BIG SHOES TO FILL. MY NAME IS RYAN CEMETERIES. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND SEASONS.

[00:15:06]

SEGREGATION NOW SEGREGATION TOMORROW SEGREGATION FOREVER. SO MAYBE SOMEONE WILL SAY, SEE HE WAS A DEMOCRAT. BUT AND IT'S A BIG ONE IN THAT ERA, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE APPRECIATION HELD FOR F. D. R A DEMOCRAT. AND THE NEW DEAL. YOU COULD NOT GET ELECTED IN ALABAMA AS A REPUBLICAN, AND SO THIS GROUP RAN AS DEMOCRATS BUT WERE MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO I'M FROM THE AREA AS DIXIECRATS. THIS IS ALL PART OF OUR HISTORY, AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ ABOUT THIS IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS IN EVERY SCHOOL. BUT BACK TO GEORGE , REMEMBER HIM THE SEGREGATIONIST RIGHT, WHO ALSO SAID THINGS LIKE I'M NOT A RACIST. I'M A SEGREGATIONIST.

AND SOME OTHER PRETTY HORRIBLE THINGS. WELL, SOMETIME IN THE LATE SEVENTIES, HE BECAME A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN. SEE, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY HERE. AND RENOUNCED HIS SEGREGATIONIST VIEWS AND APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY TO ALL BLACK AMERICANS, SAYING HE HAD ONCE SOUGHT POWER AND GLORY WHEN HE NEEDED TO SEEK LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. WE SHOULD PROBABLY ALL TRY AND DO A LOT MORE OF THAT. FINALLY AND IT'S AN ESTABLISHED FACT THAT OTHER THAN HIS SEGREGATIONIST VIEWS HE LOVED TO TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL. AND PERHAPS SOME IN THIS ROOM CAN IDENTIFY WITH THIS ASPECT, AND WE'LL SEE THAT, LIKE GEORGE WALLACE. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE AND CHANGE CAN BE A REALLY GOOD THING, WHEREAS IGNORING OR TRYING TO EDIT HISTORY FOR OUR COMFORT IS NOT THANK YOU. PRIYA SHAH! WHAT A HISTORIC DAY FOR A SWEARING IN OF A RETURNING BOARD MEMBER AND A NEW ONE. HISTORIC BECAUSE TODAY MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR SAME SEX AND INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE BECAME THE LAW OF THE LAND PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES. ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT. I LIKE RYAN WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW IDEAS CAN CHANGE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S VIEW ON ISSUES LIKE GAY MARRIAGE, WHICH ACTUALLY ONCE PUT HIM ON THE MORE CONSERVATIVE SIDE OF HIS PARTY'S IDEOLOGICAL SPECTRUM, NOW, MORE FIRMLY MATCH POSITIONS THAT HELD HAVE GALVANIZED PEOPLE OF BOTH PARTIES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY BEEN SINCE THE LATE 19 NINETIES THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BEGAN TO SUPPORT INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE. TODAY. THAT NUMBER IS 94% AND TODAY NIGHT 68% OF THE COUNTRY, REGARDLESS OF PARTY BELIEVES IN THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE TO BE MARRIED. I BELIEVE TODAY'S LANDMARK LEGISLATION. UM, AND THE SHIFT THAT THE PRESIDENT EMBODIES SHOWCASES THE TRUE SPIRIT OF AMERICA. WE CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO FULFILL THE PROMISE OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. THAT AMERICA IS FOR ALL OF US. THERE'S NO SHAME AND GROWING, AND IN FACT, IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY. THANK YOU. AFTER LINDA WILL BE STEPHANIE DUNHAM, KRISTEN MORTENSEN. AND REAGAN RAW THREE. LINDA MANNION. GOOD EVENING. MRS BACK. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR REELECTION. WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE, AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE, WITH INTEGRITY AND WISDOM. EVER MINDFUL OF THE ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY OF MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS AND ARE VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS SO THAT EVERY CHILD FINDS A SAFE HARBOR IN OUR CLASSROOMS. TO NOT ONLY THRIVE ACADEMICALLY, BUT TO FEEL VALUED, RESPECTED AND NURTURED.

MR FRASER. WE ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR ELECTION. YOU HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO SCHOOL BOARD. THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING, HIGHLY ACCLAIMED DISTRICTS IN THE STATE. PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA'S CULTURE OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, INNOVATION, COLLABORATION AND INTEGRITY HAS GIVEN US A REPUTATION. WHICH IS SECOND TO NONE, AND HAS BROUGHT MANY FAMILIES WHO ARE COMMUNITY SEEKING THE BEST OF THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN. AS WE ALL EMBARK ON THIS NEW JOURNEY. OUR HOPE IS THAT WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER. PLEASE LEAD WITH KINDNESS, RESPECT. AND MOST OF ALL, HUMILITY AS YOU MAKE DECISIONS WHICH AFFECT THE FUTURES OF EVERY CHILD EVERY DAY. PLEASE VISIT OUR CLASSROOMS AND ATTEND COMMUNITY EVENTS SO YOU CAN SEE FIRSTHAND THE AMAZING WORK THAT OUR EDUCATORS DO. TO MEET THE NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF

[00:20:03]

OUR CULTURE MUST BE PRESERVED TO RETAIN THE TRUST OF OUR FAMILIES. EDUCATORS AND OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU AND WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, STEPHANIE. RECENTLY WE SAW A BOARD TRUSTEE PRESIDENT OF CLAREMONT DISTRICT STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS PRESSURED TO AFTER HOSTING A PARTY WHERE THERE WERE SHIRTLESS MEN AND A DIRTY SANTA WHILE STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED. IT WAS OFF CAMPUS, BUT A SCHOOL EVENT. AND YET WE ALLOW TEACHERS TO ASSIGN BOOKS IN OUR CLASSROOMS THAT INTRODUCE WOMEN BY THEIR SUGARY SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY'S AND ALSO TALK TO THEM ABOUT CHILD RAPE. WE ALLOW BOOKS IN OUR LIBRARIES THAT ARE GRAPHIC, AND WE'LL GET YOU THROWN OUT OF THE DISTRICT IF INSTEAD OF READING THE BOOK WITH THE STUDENT, YOU SIMPLY WALKED UP TO THEM AND STARTED TALKING TO THEM ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER. OR IF A TEACHER SHOWED A VIDEO WITH THE SAME TEXT. PUT TWO PICTURES. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WANT TO BE THESE PEOPLE WHO INTRODUCED THESE THINGS TO OUR CHILDREN. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WANT TO SEXUALIZE OUR CHILDREN AND THEN TURNED THE OTHER WAY WHEN A CHILD IS ASSAULTED ON OUR CAMPUSES, BUT IT'S DISGUSTING.

AND IT SHOULDN'T BE WHO ANYONE WANTS THE P L TO BE. THANK YOU. OKAY. MY NAME IS KRISTEN. I'M READING FOR JANET. SHE HER SPEECH DESERVES TO BE HEARD. THE REST OF AFTER HER DAUGHTER WAS ASHAMED AND CONFUSED, SAYS I REQUESTED THE SCHOOL AT MINIMUM , REMOVED THE BOY OR PLACE HIM IN A DIFFERENT COHORT WHILE THIS INCIDENT WAS RESOLVED, AND THAT WAS NEVER DONE, I WANT THIS BOARD TO HAVE AWARENESS OF THE SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MY DAUGHTER AT GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRANSFER MY DAUGHTER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT WORTHY OF MENTION IS THAT WHEN I TOLD GLENVIEW I WAS TRANSFERRING MY DAUGHTER, THEY SIMPLY ASKED ME WHEN AND WHAT THEY WOULD AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HER THINGS PACKED UP AND READY FOR ME TO PICK UP AT THE END. MY DAUGHTER WAS SAD HAS SADLY EXPERIENCED WHAT BEING A VICTIM WITH NO VOICES. AS EDUCATORS, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERY CHILD. YOU TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH . WHEN YOU FAIL TO DO THIS? NOT ONLY DO YOU FAIL, BUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILS THE CHILD. I ASSURE YOU THAT AS A MOTHER, I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND WE'LL BRING PUBLIC VISIBILITY TO WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER. I WILL ENGAGE MEDIA OUTLETS. I WILL RETURN TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU UNTIL THE VOICE OF MY EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL IS HEARD. AND YOU HAVE YOU AS THE BOARD DIRECT THE SCHOOL TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO EVALUATE AND INVESTIGATE THIS BOY'S BEHAVIOR AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, ENSURE NO OTHER CHILD IS HARMED. HE'S STILL IN THE CLASS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. AFTER REAGAN IS SCOTT TURNER, RAQUEL F AND JENNY BREMER. HI MY NAME IS REAGAN RAW THREE. AND I AM ASKING THE DISTRICT TO CREATE A COMMITTEE SIMILAR TO THE D E AND I COMMITTEE THAT WE'VE GOT FOR LIBRARY COLLECTION, DEVELOPMENT AND CHALLENGES TO LIBRARY BOOKS . I THINK SOMETHING THAT IS MADE OF A MULTITUDE OF PARENTS THAT IS A REVOLVING GROUP EVERY YEAR WOULD BE AN IDEAL MIX. AH I UNDERSTAND. THERE ARE SOME BOOKS IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES THAT PARENTS DO NOT WANT THEIR KIDS TO READ INSTEAD OF USING THE LOGICAL AND FAR EASIER PRACTICE OF NOT ALLOWING THEIR KIDS TO READ THEM. THEY INSTEAD CONFISCATE THAT RIGHT FROM ALL PARENTS BY TAKING BOOKS FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND HOLDING THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T FIT THEIR NARRATIVE OF WHAT IS AND IS NOT APPROPRIATE. NO PARENT OR GROUP OF PARENTS HAS THE RIGHT TO UNILATERALLY AND INDISCRIMINATELY DICTATE THE PARAMETERS OF ACCEPTABLE READING MATERIALS FOR STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT. THESE PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES PARENTS' RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. BUT I TOO AM A PARENT . I TOO, HAVE RIGHTS AND I AM NOT WILLING TO HAVE MY RIGHTS TAKEN BY A MINORITY WHO WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN VILIFYING STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOOK ACT OR SOUND LIKE THEM, NAMELY BIPAC AND L G B T Q TO AUTHORS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SCOTT TURNER. I'M A PARENT OF A T. K AND SECOND GRADE STUDENT AT TRAVIS RANCH. I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWEST BOARD MEMBER. AND CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR THANK YOU TO ALL OTHERS. FOR YOUR CONTINUED SERVICE. P Y EL USD IS A DESTINATION DISTRICT. AND IT IS THAT REASON THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEIR STUDENTS IN THIS DISTRICT. WE NEED THAT TO

[00:25:01]

THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE YEARS TO COME. WE NEED TO HAVE REPRESENTATION ON CSB A AND ON THE ROP. I ALSO SAW TONIGHT ON YOUR BOARD CONSENT AGENDA THAT YOU HAVE THE SCHOOL PLANS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. I WAS PART OF THE SCHOOL PLAN FOR TRAVIS RANCH ELEMENTARY, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THE BOARD'S GOING TO SUPPORT THOSE PLANS THIS EVENING . UM I ALSO THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TIME KNOWING THAT WE'RE LIKELY GOING TO HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH IN THE YEARS TO COME. SO I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS BOARD CAN COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM OF FIVE AND THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ATTRACT THE VERY BEST CANDIDATES AND WE KNOW THAT THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE A BOARD DECISION. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RAQUEL FLEXNER. I'M A PARENT OF THREE IN THE DISTRICT AND AN EDUCATOR. I WANT TO WELCOME TRUSTEE FRASER . I HOPE YOU TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT EVERY SCHOOL IN THE SAME WAY THAT TRUSTY BUCK DOES. AND IF YOU HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE PROGRAMS AND TOOLS THAT PASSED THROUGH THE CONSENT CALENDAR, YOU TAKE THE TIME TO SEE THEM IN ACTION THE WAY TRUSTEE ANDERSON DID LAST MONTH. AND I HOPE YOU SEEK EDUCATION AND TRAINING THE WAY FORMER TRUSTEE FREEMAN DID BEFORE YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR DISTRICT. ADDITIONALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE WAY IN WHICH OUR DISTRICT CATALOGS AND DOCUMENTS, PARENT COMPLAINTS WITH 34 SCHOOL SITES AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PARENTS, STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. I'M SURE OUR DISTRICT HERE'S MANY COMPLAINTS IF THIS MEETING HASN'T TAUGHT US ANYTHING, UM BUT WHICH ONES ARE CONSIDERED URGENT. HOW ARE THEY PRIORITIZED WHICH ONES ARE HEARD? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, AS WE'VE SEEN TONIGHT, WHICH ONES ARE IGNORED? I URGE THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT TO COME UP WITH A TRANSPARENT SYSTEM IN WHICH PARENTS CAN FILE COMPLAINTS AND THE COMMUNITY CAN SEE HOW AND WHEN THEY ARE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JENNY BREMER AND I TASTE SOCIAL SCIENCE, INCLUDING MULTICULTURAL STUDIES. ADULT ARADO FIRST I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK LUCY MERIEL FOR SERVING ON THIS BOARD. SHE'S A GREAT REPRESENTATIVE OF ELDORADO STUDENTS AND ALL OUR STUDENTS WHILE USD YOU'VE HANDLED YOURSELF WITH GRACE AND PROFESSIONALISM, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. UM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU SOME STUDENT RESPONSES TO A CHECK IN QUESTION THAT I ASKED MY MULTICULTURAL STUDIES STUDENTS. THE QUESTION WAS, WHAT DOES THIS CLASS MEAN TO YOU? AND HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR RESPONSES. THIS CLASS IS A SAFE SPACE IN WHICH WE CAN DISCUSS SOCIAL POLITICAL ISSUES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT BEING HARASSED FOR OUR OPINIONS, LITERALLY EVERYTHING. IT GETS ME UP IN THE MORNING BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I LOVE THIS CLASS BECAUSE I GET TO LEARN NEW PERSPECTIVES EVERY DAY. I GET TO FEEL VERY SAFE. I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN ABOUT VARIOUS CULTURES. TO ME. THIS CLASS IS A WAY TO LEARN NEW INFORMATION THAT I WOULDN'T TYPICALLY LEARN AND ANY OTHER CLASS. IT MEANS A CLASS WHERE I CAN EXPAND MY UNDERSTANDING ABOUT DIFFERENT CULTURES AND PERSPECTIVES. THIS CLASS IS WHERE EVERYONE IN HERE IS GROWING CLOSE TOGETHER. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE IN HERE THAT CAN CONNECT AND TALK WITH AND I LOVE IT. THIS CLASS IS A SAFE PLACE WHERE I CAN TALK AND ASK ABOUT THE HARD TOPICS. THIS CLASS IS A SAFE SPACE WHERE I FEEL WELCOMED AND NOT JUDGED BY MY CLASSMATES. THIS CLASS IS A SAFE SPACE FOR ME TO BE MYSELF, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALSO BRINGS ME JOY EVERY MORNING. THESE ARE THE WORDS FROM MY STUDENTS. UM I KEEP HEARING THINGS IN THIS ROOM ABOUT HOW WE SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING THIS. UM ON THE OTHER HAND, I APPRECIATE ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS, ALL FIVE BOARD MEMBERS WHO APPROVED THIS CLASS. UM IT MEANS A LOT TO MY STUDENTS. I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT MY 18 YEARS HERE AT L U S. T. THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT I'VE EVER DONE. I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN CONNECTIONS LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER STUDENTS, SO I WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING GOOD. THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOMS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT IS CRISP ELIQUIS THAN NICOLE AND THEN SHANIA BOONE.

SHANTI BOONE. I'M SORRY IF I DO THAT. I CAN NEVER GET IT. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CHRIS.

POLICY UM, NORMALLY I'M A LITTLE BIT MORE PREPARED, BUT TONIGHT I JUST REALLY WANTED TO COME UP AND WELCOME TODD FRAZIER TO THE BOARD. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A NEW YEAR. I'M VERY, UM I FEEL VERY POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE VERY POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC. I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT FOR SOME PARENTS THE LAST

[00:30:04]

HOWEVER, SHE'S NINE YEARS OLD. AND MY HUSBAND, TOO. WANTS TO PULL HER FROM THE DISTRICT. UM SHE WE HAD WRITTEN A LETTER WITH NINE DIFFERENT OFFENSES ON IT WHEN I SENT IT TO THE UM PRINCIPAL AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. MY DAUGHTER FEELS VERY COMFORTABLE TALKING TO THEM . UM WE FELT MOST OF IT HAD BEEN HANDLED. MOST OF THE BOYS HAVE NOW STOPPED. UM THERE WAS STILL ONE PARTICULAR BOY THAT CONTINUED, AND, UM YOU KNOW, I EMAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S BECAUSE I EMAILED SO I HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION OF ALL OF THE INCIDENCE INCIDENCES. UM I'VE ALSO PROVIDED, UM YOU KNOW , WITNESSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT PLAYED DIFFERENCE IN THAT. BUT, UM YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE IF MY INCIDENT HAPPENED BEFORE, AFTER OR WHAT THE SITUATION IS, BUT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM AT THAT SCHOOL. UM SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE THAT THAT'S THE SITUATION THAT IS HAPPENING AT THAT SCHOOL. UM THERE ARE A LOT OF BOYS THERE THAT ARE, UM MAKING A LOT OF INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS.

INAPPROPRIATE GESTURES, UM, BUMPING INTO STUDENTS INAPPROPRIATELY AND MOANING. UM IT'S VERY INAPPROPRIATE. AND I THINK THAT HAVING, UM NOT TO PUT POLITICS INTO IT, BUT EXPOSING THE KIDS TO THESE ISSUES IN BOOKS, AND THINGS WILL JUST BRING IT ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE OFTEN, MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY WITH KIDS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY EXPOSURE TO THAT ON THEIR OWN. UM YOU KNOW, SOME PARENTS WANT TO KEEP THEIR LIFE CLEAN WITH KIDS AND KEEP THEM AS INNOCENT FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. SO UM, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING AWARE OF WHAT IS PLACED IN OUR SCHOOLS, EXPOSING THEM AT AN EARLIER AGE. UM, YOU KNOW, NOT GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AND SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. HELLO SHANIA BOONE. WELCOME TO TODD AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO, UM, GIVE THEIR TIME. MONTHLY. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYBODY. UM GOD, MY HEART IS RACING FROM THE POLICE TO PARENTS WHO JUST SPOKE. I JUST AM HEARTBROKEN TO HEAR THOSE STORIES. AND I ALMOST FEEL BAD, EVEN DISCUSSING WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. UM I WANTED TO BRING UP AN ISSUE THAT ANOTHER PARENT BROUGHT UP ABOUT HAVING SOME KIND OF A COMMITTEE OR A PROCESS IN DEALING WITH LIBRARY BOOKS AND HOW PARENTS CAN CHALLENGE DIFFERENT BOOKS THAT THEY FIND IN THE LIBRARY. UM, I DON'T BELIEVE IN BANNING BOOKS BECAUSE RESTRICTING CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT PEOPLE. UM CAN RESTRICT AND CAUSE SITUATIONS THAT UM, IN REAL LIFE WOULD BE AN ISSUE BOOKS THAT REPRESENT PEOPLE IN SITUATIONS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THAT CHILD HAS EVER KNOWN, CAN TEACH THEM EMPATHY. BOOKS CAN BE A GATEWAY FOR FOSTERING ACCEPTANCE, EMPATHY AND APPRECIATION FOR OTHERS. BOOKS CAN PROVIDE REPRESENTATION TO CHILDREN WHO COME FROM OR IDENTIFY WITH MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. THESE COMMUNITIES AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE IN OUR CHILDREN WILL MAKE BETTER COMMUNITY MEMBERS IF THEY LEARN TO ACCEPT AND APPRECIATE ALL HUMAN BEINGS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME BOOKS BRING UP DIFFICULT OR UNCOMFORTABLE TOPICS. BUT WHY WOULD WE WANT TO INSULATE OUR KIDS FROM UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS? LIKELY THEY WILL LEARN THEM EVENTUALLY, THANK YOU TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET. THE TRUTH CAN BE HARD, BUT HAVING THOSE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS AFTER OUR CHILD HAS READ AN INTENSE BOOK CAN BE THE BEST TEACHING MOMENT. SO AGAIN. I URGED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER ADOPTING OR COMING UP WITH A PROCESS FOR, UM LIBRARY COLLECTION AND WHEN THERE ARE CHALLENGES AGAINST BOOKS IN OUR LIBRARIES, SO THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY FOR YOUR PUBLIC COMMENTS, UM

[ORGANIZATION OF BOARD MEMBER POSITIONS]

[COMMUNICATIONS AND BOARD REPORT]

[00:55:08]

[01:00:02]

SECOND LOVE FIRST LEAD SECOND, I THINK YOU GET THE MESSAGE. I ATTENDED ALSO A CLASS ABOUT DISABILITY AND DISCIPLINE WHEN THE TWO INTERSECT, AND THEY REVIEWED THE LAWS AND STATUES FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS I'D AND SECTION FIVE OR FOUR REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973 AND THE KEY TAKEAWAY. ESPECIALLY EDUCATION IS COMPLEX. I DON'T ADMIRE YOU, MRS GRAY AT ALL, AND THE LAWS ARE NOT VERY CLEAR. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING MORE ABOUT SPECIAL EDUCATION AND GETTING A BETTER IDEA. AH ALSO TALK WENT TO CLASS ABOUT THE LEGAL ISSUES FACING GOVERNING BOARDS. WE TALKED ABOUT RELIGION, SCHOOL FLAGS IN SCHOOL , SOCIAL MEDIA AND SCHOOL BOARDS . UM, SCHOOL SAFETY, UM COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. UM SO THERE WAS A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION. UM ABOUT HOW WHAT LAWS HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND HOW THINGS ARE MOVING AND TO BETTER, UM IMPLEMENT. THOSE THINGS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. ATTENDED UH EL CAP, WHICH MEETING WHICH WAS GREAT. AND IT REALLY FOCUSED ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, MAKING SURE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE. UM THE GOALS AND METRICS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND HOW TO LOOK FOR THEM AND SEE THEM AND BASICALLY , YOU KNOW, LIKE, ASK QUESTIONS LIKE IS THERE DIFFERENTIAL MATRIX FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS LIKE THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE FROM LIKE, UM A NEWCOMER TO, UH, LONG TERM ENGLISH LEE LEARNER OR ONE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECLASSIFIED. THANK YOU. I WANTED TO SAVE THE DISTRICT, BUT I KNEW THAT WAS NOT THE RIGHT WORD. SO A LOT OF REALLY GOOD INFORMATION. THERE ALSO ATTENDED A UM HASSAN, DEAR TRUSTEE AND HOW TO DEVELOP A TEAM APPROACH FOR BOARD COMMUNICATIONS. UM AND THEN THE LAST CLASS. OH, NO, IT WASN'T LAST CLASS. I WENT TO A CLASS ON WORKSHOP ON BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER UNDER UNITED GOVERNANCE TEAM, AND THIS WAS REALLY INTERESTING. UM SCHOOL BOARD WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT GOT ON AND THEY SAID THAT THEY GO. WE LIVE IN A PURPLE COMMUNITY. UM, WE HAVE YOU KNOW? DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALL LIVING TOGETHER AND WE'RE REALLY A MIXED COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAD TWO OF THEIR BOARD MEMBERS ON THEIR ONE WAS A REPRESENTATION OF THE RIGHT SIDE, AND ONE WAS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE LEFT, AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY WORK THROUGH THEIR DIFFICULTIES IN THE STRATEGIES THAT THEY HAD UTILIZED. AND SO DR MATTHEWS AND I WILL BE DEFINITELY DISCUSSING THOSE STRATEGIES BECAUSE THERE WAS SUPERINTENDENT STRATEGIES AND BOARD STRATEGIES AND THEY GAVE REAL LIFE EXAMPLES. OF WHAT THEY DID AND HOW THEY DID IT. UM ALSO WENT TO MATH FRAMEWORK CLASS BECAUSE YOU GUYS KNOW I'M ALL INTERESTED IN HOW THE NEW MATH FRAMEWORK IS GOING TO BE COMING, AND, BUT THEY MOSTLY FOCUSED ON HOW, UM MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHERS REALLY NEED TO BE TRAINED IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU KNOW MATH. WE USED TO THINK OF AS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, AND THAT'S NO LONGER THAT WAY. IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF READING THAT WENT INTO IT AND THE LAST KEYNOTE SPEAKER, I BELIEVE UM, SHE'S UM. TARA WESTOVER. SHE WROTE THE BOOK EDUCATED, SO WE STARTED OFF WITH MISEDUCATED ENDED WITH EDUCATED AND I THINK THESE BOOKS WERE REALLY, UM, A GOOD BOOK END TO THE CONFERENCE BECAUSE SHE BASICALLY LEFT THE CONFERENCE WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON LOVE.

AND HOW HER LOVE OF MUSIC. PROPELLED HER TO WANT TO LEARN AND HOW SHE HAD TO SELF TEACH HERSELF. UM. TO EVEN UP YOU KNOW TO TAKE THE COLLEGES INTEREST SINCE HER HIGHEST LEVEL THAT SHE SHE NEVER ATTENDED IN A CLASSROOM EVER. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HAVE READ THIS BOOK. BUT SHE TAUGHT HERSELF TRIGONOMETRY ALGEBRA. HER PARENTS HER BROTHER TAUGHT HER TO READ AND HER MOM.

[01:05:01]

AND JUST REALLY FUN, CREATIVE ORNAMENTS. IT'S ALL DONE BY THE STUDENTS, UM, ACTUALLY HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER SIDE TO GET SOMETHING WITH A BOW. AND, UM. JUST THEIR CREATIVITY AND

[01:10:03]

AND SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO TALK TO THE PARENTS, AND WHEN I WAS DONE, I SENT AN EMAIL AND I, UM THE PARENTS REQUEST WAS OBVIOUSLY THEY LOVED IT, BUT THEY ALSO WANTED TO EXPAND TO MIDDLE SCHOOLS. AND SO I OBVIOUSLY I SENT THE EMAIL WITH THE REQUEST AND MADE A LOT OF GOOD RELATIONSHIPS THERE, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME COFFEE WITH THEM. AS THEY CONTINUE TO SAY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE NEEDS AND WANTS AND LIKE WHAT? WE'RE DOING GOOD WHAT WE'RE DOING BAD, BUT THAT WAS JUST A VERY GOOD, UM, SUCH A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF INCLUSION AND THE SUPPORT OF THE SCHOOL IS JUST AMAZING. SO THAT WAS JUST A GREAT EVENT THAT WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH I ATTENDED THE ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL'S CHRISTMAS CORAL, THE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND AH! I WAS. I TOOK ONE OF MY SONS WHO TENDS YORBA LINDA, AND WE REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT FALL INTO IT. AND SO WE HEARD THE MONSTER MASH AND I NOW KNOW THAT THERE IS A THANKSGIVING SONG BY MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER AND SO THANKSGIVING LIKE LET'S GO IN THE FALL LIKE I'M GOING TO BE SET NEXT YEAR. UM AND SO IT WAS JUST IT WAS AN AWESOME AWESOME PERFORMANCE LIKE WE WERE LAUGHING. UM THEY HAD JUST BEAUTIFUL SOLOISTS. IT WAS IT WAS JUST A GREAT EXPERIENCE. MR MYERS JUST DOES AN AMAZING JOB WITH THAT CHOIR. AND SO I REALLY THINK, UM THANK EVERYONE FOR THE INVITE. AND UM I'M HOPING TO ATTEND AGAIN NEXT YEAR, I ATTENDED THE HERBAL IN HIGH SCHOOL SEMIFINAL GAME. AND AFTER THEY HAD ONE CF, AND THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE UNFORTUNATELY LOST, BUT IT WAS THE GREAT END TO THE SEASON FOR THEM. AND JUST LAST WEEKEND, I ATTENDED THE LACOSTE WRESTLING TOURNAMENT IN CARLSBAD. AND I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT FROM ELDORADO. HE PLACED FIRST PLACE IN HIS WEIGHT CATEGORY. AH KENNETH ROGERS FROM ESPERANZA, WHO PLAYED WHO PLACED THIRD IN HIS WEIGHT CATEGORY, AND WILCOX. AND SPENCER PERRY FROM YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL, WHO ALSO PLACED FOURTH PLACE IN THEIR CATEGORY. AS THE DAUGHTER OF A FOOTBALL AND WRESTLING COACH. MY DAD WAS WRESTLING COACH FOR 40 YEARS AND SO I REMEMBER VERY FONDLY TRAVELING OUT AS A STAT GIRL. UM, AND ALSO TRAVELING WATCHING MY BROTHER PLAY. BUT LACOSTA IS, UM, IT IS A MAJOR TOURNAMENT. IT'S 64 PLUS TEAMS AND IT'S EXTREMELY EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. SO FOR US TO COME BACK AS A DISTRICT AND HAVE FOUR PLACE WINNERS AND ALL OF THE KIDS WHO ALL OF OUR OUR OUR WRESTLERS WHO PARTICIPATED. THEY ALL DID A PHENOMENAL JOB, SO I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THEM. ONE THING THAT, UM, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND I TALKED WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BRING IT TOWARDS THE BOARD AND I MENTIONED THIS IN THE PAST. I REALLY THINK THE BOARD NEEDS TO TAKE THE HANDLE ON OUR GRADING POLICIES WOULD LIKE TO SEE US IMMEDIATELY START TO LOOK AT GRADING SYSTEMS IS NOT EQUITABLE FOR ONE TEACHER TO GRADE ONE WAY AND NEXT DOOR.

ANOTHER CLASSROOM, ANOTHER TEACHER TO BE GRADING ANOTHER WAY STUDENTS IN CLASS CAN CHANGE

[01:15:01]

LOOK AT THESE BOOKS. MAKE SURE WHAT'S IN OUR LIBRARY. HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY VETTED AND HAS BEEN, UM YOU KNOW, PROPERLY PUT IN PLACE, SO WE DON'T OPEN OURSELVES UP TO THESE TYPE OF LAWSUITS AND THAT WE KNOW IT'S IN THERE AND WHAT'S APPROPRIATE. I'M NOT AT ALL FOR BANNING BOOKS . WHEN YOU BAN A BOOK, YOU HAVE NO ACCESS WHATSOEVER TO IT. AND SO I FIND THAT WHEN TEACHERS HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS HAVE TO SEND NOTES HOME AND ASKED PERMISSION TO SHOW A PG OR PG, 13 MOVIE IN A CLASSROOM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE BOOKS ARE GIVING LIKE WE WHY WE'RE NOT GIVING THE PROPER UM I DON'T KNOW, RESPECT OR THE PROPER PROCESS TOWARDS BOOKS IN OUR LIBRARY, SO I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, TO SEE THAT'S DONE. AND SO WHEN YOU BUT I MEAN, AND THE THING IS THIS IF THINGS ARE AGE APPROPRIATE IN A SCHOOL IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEN THAT'S FINE. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T BUY IT ON AMAZON FOR YOUR CHILD OR THE OR YOU CAN'T GO TO THE YORBA LINDA LIBRARY AND CHECK OUT THAT BOOK. WHEN A BOOK IS BANNED, YOU HAVE NO ACCESS TO IT WHATSOEVER. SO THIS IS NOT BANNING BOOKS. THIS IS JUST SAYING THESE ARE THE THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE AS A DISTRICT IS APPROPRIATE AND WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN THE LIBRARY. AND THEN IF IT'S NOT FOUND IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY, YOU CAN GO ELSEWHERE. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO THE BOARD, AND IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO THE DISTRICT AND THE AS YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF TIMES THEY START YELLING AT THE BOARD. HOW DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN? HOW IS THIS? HOW DID THIS GO THROUGH? SO I THINK AS WE'RE WATCHING ALL OF THIS, UM ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS TAKE PLACE AROUND US. WE SHOULD REALLY, UM SAFEGUARD OURSELVES AS A DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WILL NOT BE, UM IN THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE FINDING THEMSELVES. AND SO I ALSO LIKE TO, UM WE APPROVE STRATEGIC KIDS L L C LAST MONTH

[01:20:07]

[01:25:01]

[GENERAL FUNCTIONS]

UM OUR MEETINGS GO LATE. I MEAN, WE HAVE ACTIVE DISCUSSION. WE UM WE DO ALL THAT, AND WE HAVE OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER HERE AND, UH, LUCY, WE TYPICALLY DISMISS YOU AT NINE O'CLOCK. AND YOU THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE FIRST MEETINGS ALL YEAR. WE'VE GOTTEN ACTUALLY VOTE ON AN ITEM BECAUSE WE USUALLY DON'T EVEN GET TO ACTION ITEMS UNTIL AFTER NINE O'CLOCK, SO ENJOY THAT. UH UM BUT, UH, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD CHANGE. UM BUT AGAIN, IT'S THE IT'S THE BOARD SCHEDULE AND YOU GET TO VOTE ON THAT. SO YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT AS THE BOARD RECOMMENDED, WE HAVE A MORE EXTENSIVE BORDER EDUCATION GOVERNANCE COUNT CALENDAR WHERE WE ACTUALLY KIND OF GO INTO WHAT'S EXPECTED TO HAPPEN AT EACH OF THE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO I PUT THIS TO YOU FOR YOUR PROPOSAL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AND I THANK YOU. AWESOME. THANK YOU. DID ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ON THIS? OKAY SO WE HAVE A FIRST WE HAVE A SECOND , UH ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ALL OPPOSED. OKAY SO THAT'S A FIVE PLUS OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. LEAVE. WHAT? YOU NEED TO GO

[01:30:05]

I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CSB, A DELEGATE JUST FOR THE SAME REASONING. WE HAVE CARRIE, WHO IS ALREADY ON, UM AND SO I THINK TO, UM I COULD REPRESENT MAYBE A DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCY.

UM YOU KNOW, AND BRING MAYBE, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IDEAS, UM TO THIS, AND SO I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CSB, A DELEGATE AS WELL. OKAY CARRIE, DOES THIS ACTUALLY AFFECT YOUR THIS DOESN'T AFFECT ME BECAUSE I BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY IS THROUGH THIS NEXT YEAR, RIGHT? OKAY CAN HAVE MULTIPLE MEMBER. WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION LAST YEAR IF WE COULD HAVE MORE THAN TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUR DISTRICT, AND WE CAN, SO THAT'S NOT REALLY A PROBLEM. BUT THIS IS KAREN FREEMAN'S SPOT. BUT WE'RE VOTING ON FOR RIGHT NOW.

NO I DON'T. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. THESE ARE TWO OTHER SPOTS THAT WERE UP. THERE IS A PROCESS THAT I GUESS NOW THAT SHE'S NOT ELECTED THAT WILL COME UP AGAIN. SO THERE WILL BE TWO SPOTS IN IN OTHER WORDS, NO SO CSB A HAS 500 REPRESENTATIVES ACROSS THE STATE . WE'RE IN REGION, 15, WHICH IS ALL OF ORANGE COUNTY. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY BELIEVE 15 OR 16 MEMBERS FROM ORANGE COUNTY THAT ARE ELECTED AS THE DELEGATE REPRESENTATIVES FOR OUR REGION. SO THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE FIRST STEP. SO YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN FOR THIS STEP AND THEN AS THE COUNTY AS ALL SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS IN THE COUNTY, THEY VOTE ON WHO'S GOING TO REPRESENT FOR REGION 15 SO IN FEBRUARY WILL GET A LIST OF CANDIDATES, UH, THAT WE WILL CHOOSE PICK AND CHOOSE FROM FROM THERE WHO WE WANT TO REPRESENT US IN THOSE OPEN SPOTS. SO THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT MRS BLADES OR I WILL BE ON THE LAST TIME I DID THIS LAST TIME, AND I DIDN'T MAKE IT SO WE CAN PUT BOTH OF YOU ON. YEAH THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I MEAN, WE CAN NOMINATE AS MANY AS WE WANT, AND THERE'S NO. YOU KNOW, MAX. BUT YOU, YOU KNOW THERE'S A PROCESS YOU HAVE TO FILE THE PAPERWORK AND THEN WE GET, YOU KNOW, BIO. WE GET WHATEVER BODY SUBMITTED AND THEN WE YOU CAN YOU KNOW? THEN WE CHOOSE WHO WE'RE GONNA SUPPORT SO, BUT BOTTOM LINE WE CAN PUT BOTH OF YOU. YOU'RE BOTH INTERESTED. WE CAN PUT BOTH OF YOU ON THIS LIKE THERE'S NO PROBLEM. SO I WOULD LIKE TO IF IT'S POSSIBLE, UM, CHANGE MY NOMINATION CHANGED THIS. MY MOTION TO GOING A BIT ROAD, BUT I'M ONLY GOING TO ADD BOTH NAMES. SO INSTEAD OF JUST NOMINATING MARYLAND, I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE MARYLIN ANDERSON AND LEANDER BLADES TO SERVE AS OUR REPRESENTATIVES. THAT MAKES SENSE. OKAY USED I SECOND THAT, OKAY? SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. ALRIGHT SO IT'S FIVE PLUS OUR STUDENT BOARD. REMEMBER? LOOK AT UP TO FIVE VOTES IN AWESOME. OKAY THAT

THE REVISION OF THIS POLICY IS DRIVEN BY SENATE BILL 3 28, WHICH CAUSED AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE SCHOOL START TIMES IN OUR DISTRICT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROPOSED REVISION. QUESTIONS. MY OWN. MY ONLY COMMENT WAS IS THAT I JUST HOPE THAT WE DON'T GO PAST LIKE FOURTH, YOU KNOW, 4 30 OR FIVE O'CLOCK FOR OFFICE STAFF BECAUSE I THINK THAT ONCE WE GO PAST A CERTAIN POINT, IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY THOUGHT IS AS LONG AS WE KEEP IT IN THAT THAT RANGE. I'M GOOD. ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY CHANGE THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING PROPOSED IS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO SHIFT ACTUALLY UP 15 MINUTES, SO 7 15 TO 4 15 TO ACCOMMODATE PARENTS BECAUSE OF 7 50 SCHOOL START TYPE PERFECT. THAT'S GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY WE'LL GO AHEAD AND, UH TAKE A BOAT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE THOSE OPPOS. ALRIGHT NEXT SECTION WILL BE OUR

[BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL]

[01:45:03]

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO GET. OKAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT MEANS THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, SO CLEAN OPINION AND SO YOU'RE OFF TO A GOOD START.

RIGHT AFTER THAT, IN THE REPORT, THERE'S A SECTION CALLED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. SO. THE WAY I DESCRIBED. THIS SECTION IS IF YOU'RE NOT A NUMBERS PERSON, AND YOU JUST WANT KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS IS THE SECTION YOU WANT TO READ THROUGH. IT GIVES YOU A LOT OF COMPARATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE DISTRICT'S FINANCES FARED OVER THE COURSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR, UM, AND A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. BUT AGAIN, IT'S VERY SUMMARIZED INFORMATION. NOW WE START GETTING INTO THE HEAVY STUFF AFTER THAT, BECAUSE THEN WE GET INTO THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THEMSELVES. AND GATSBY, WHICH IS THE GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. REQUIRES DIFFERENT SETS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT PRESENT DIFFERENT LOOKS AT THE DISTRICT'S FINANCES. UM SO THERE'S ALL THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN THERE THAT ARE REQUIRED. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THEM ALL BECAUSE I WOULD BORE EVERYONE TO TEARS. BUT RIGHT AFTER THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, YOU GET INTO THE NOTES, AND THAT'S WHERE IF YOU'RE A REAL ACCOUNTING, GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING NUMBERS , NERD. THAT'S WHERE THE MEAT IS . OKAY I DOUBT VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM ARE REALLY THAT INTO IT, BUT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION IN THERE ABOUT HOW THE DISTRICT ACCOUNTS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF ACTIVITIES. AH A LOT OF DETAIL BEHIND THE NUMBERS INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISTRICTS, OUTSTANDING BONDS.

CAPITAL ASSETS, PENSION PLANS, RETIREE BENEFITS. ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF IS IN THERE. SO, LIKE I SAID, A LOT OF DETAIL IN THAT SECTION IF YOU I REALLY WANT TO DIVE IN TO THE TO THE HARD STUFF. AH! AFTER THE NOTES. WE GET INTO SOME OTHER STUFF. THERE'S THIS REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SECTION. AND THAT'S INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED BY GADSBY TO ACCOMPANY THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SO THERE'S INFORMATION IN THERE ABOUT THE DISTRICTS, UH STIRS AND PERS PENSION PLANS AS WELL AS THE DISTRICTS. RETIREE HEALTH BENEFITS PLANS, SO IT TALKS ABOUT HOW MUCH HAS BEEN PAID OVER THE YEARS. THE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS THINGS LIKE THAT. AFTER THAT, THERE'S ANOTHER SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SECTION. WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BY GATSBY, BUT THIS STUFF IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. AND THAT'S THE AGENCY UP IN SACRAMENTO THAT RECEIVES AND APPROVES AUDIT REPORTS. FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION AND CHARTER SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, AND SO THEY MANDATE CERTAIN INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR AUDIT, AND THAT INFORMATION IS PRESENTED HERE. THEN WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER INDEPENDENT AUDITOR REPORTS. AND

[01:50:03]

PLEASED TO REPORT THERE WERE NO FINANCIAL STATEMENT. INTERNAL CONTROL WEAKNESS, FINDINGS THERE WERE NO FINDINGS OVER FEDERAL PROGRAMS. AND THERE WERE TWO FINDINGS IN THE AREA OF STATE COMPLAINTS, ONE OF WHICH I WANT TO SAY IS IN PRACTICALLY EVERY AUDIT REPORT THAT WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON, THE STATE DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE STATE'S ATTENDANCE REPORTING SOFTWARE NOT ALLOWED DISTRICTS TO REVISE THEIR ATTENDANCE REPORTS AS THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE IN THE PAST, AND SO THE ONLY WAY THAT DISTRICTS ARE NOW ALLOWED TO MAKE CHANGES AS IF IT SHOWS UP AS A FINDING IN YOUR AUDIT REPORT. SO THERE YOU GO. AND THEN THE LAST SECTION OF THE REPORT. IS SOME ITEMS THAT WE WANTED TO JUST MENTIONED. THEY ARE NOT. THEY DON'T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF BEING AUDIT FINDINGS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH OF ISSUES BUT THEY WERE IMPORTANT IN US IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT WE FELT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. UM AND SO THOSE ARE IN THE BACK OF THE REPORT, AS REQUIRED AGAIN BY THE STATE ARTICLE, RIGHT? SO THAT'S IT. I THINK I KEPT IT UNDER THREE HOURS, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY I FIGURED THE ONLY PERSON WAS PROBABLY DAVE THAT KNEW EVERYTHING HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THEY FELL ASLEEP A LITTLE BETWEEN THAT BUT NO, I'M JUST KIDDING. MR FRASER. YOU GOT ANYTHING ON THAT? I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING, HE SAID. I'M GLAD.

MAYBE TUNERS THAT OH, YES, MA'AM . MY QUESTION IS, AND I LIKE TO ASK IT EVERY TIME WE HAVE AN AUDIT IS HOW WAS THE STAFF? WHEN YOU AT? HOW WERE THEY RESPONSIVE WHEN YOU ASKED FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU NEEDED? WAS THERE ANY THING THAT WAS A GLITCH THERE OR THAT SLOWED YOU DOWN OR HOW DID THAT GO? NO. I MEAN, I WILL SAY THAT THE AUDIT PROCESS HAS GOTTEN MORE. UM, PROLONGED. AND IT'S NOT THE DISTRICT'S PROP FAULT. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE STATE. QUITE FRANKLY, THEY HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY THE NUMBER OF AUDIT AREAS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO LOOK AT EVERY YEAR AND SO EVERY YEAR WITH NEW AND NEW, NEWER, NEWER THINGS. IT REQUIRES US TO ASK. AND HERE'S THE OTHER THING TO THE AUDIT IS NOT JUST THE BUSINESS OFFICE ANYMORE. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THE EDUCATION FOLKS BECAUSE WE'RE BEING ASKED TO AUDIT THINGS LIKE YOUR EL CAP, AND, UH, LOOK AT THINGS LIKE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES, SO WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO DEALING WITH THE AUDITORS. SO SOMETIMES THERE'S DELAYS. BUT THERE WAS NOTHING AH! NOTHING THAT THE DISTRICT DID THAT CAUSED ANY DELAYS IN THE AUDIT? WE'RE OBVIOUSLY HERE FILING THE AUDIT REPORT IS FILED , UM, REQUIRED TO BE FILED BY THURSDAY. IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. SO NO PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY EVEN WITH THE TURNOVER IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE. UM THEY WERE ABLE TO GET US WHAT WE NEEDED. GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY THANK YOU, FOLKS. UH THANK YOU, SIR. AND UH, I NEED TO GO AHEAD AND BOAT ON. ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED ALRIGHT. MOTION CARRIES FIVE, THOUGH. I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2022 23 1ST INTERIM REPORT WITH THE POSITIVE CERTIFICATION POSITIVE CERTIFICATION INDICATES THAT BASED UPON CURRENT PROJECTIONS, THE DISTRICT WILL MEET ALL ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND SUBSEQUENT TWO FISCAL YEARS SECOND. YOU CAN HAVE IT. ALL RIGHT. OKAY? SO WITH THAT. LET'S GO AHEAD AND. MR. DEAR GIORDANO . THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. TONIGHT WE'RE INTERVIEW WITH YOU ARE 22 23 1ST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT AND THIS REPORT REPRESENTS THE SECOND OFFICIAL REVISION TO THE DISTRICTS

[01:55:04]

TONIGHT. WALLS DISCUSS OUR FIRST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT PROJECTIONS SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE MOVING FORWARD AND THEN THE NEXT STEPS IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS.

SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE STATES CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND THIS INFORMATION IS BASED ON THE HELIOS FISCAL OUTLOOK REPORT FOR CALIFORNIA THAT WAS RELEASED BACK ON WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16TH. AND THE YELLOW, WHICH IS A NONPARTISAN FISCAL ADVISOR TO THE LEGISLATURE HAS RELIED ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ECONOMIC FORECAST FROM ECONOMISTS TELL PREPARE THIS FISCAL OUTLOOK. THE REPORT PROVIDES AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMY AND INCLUDES THE CURRENT YEAR 22 23 , THEN THE FOUR SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. THIS YEAR IS THE WELL AS WELL AS THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THE EARLIER IS PROVIDED ONE MAIN FORECAST WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAVEATS OR WARNINGS. SO HERE ARE THE SOME OF THE KEY OBSERVATIONS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE FISCAL WILD LOOK. UNFORTUNATELY, THE STRONG ECONOMY THAT BEGAN IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 HAS LED TO HIGH INFLATION. AND IN RESPONSE , FEDERAL RESERVES HAS INCREASED INTEREST RATES SIX CONSECUTIVE TIMES THROUGH NOVEMBER OF 2022.

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

AND THE HIGHER ENGINE HIGHER THAN INTEREST RATES INCREASE THE GREATER RISK TO THE OVERALL ECONOMY. IN FACT, YELLOW BELIEVES THAT THE CHANCES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE CAN REIN IN INFLATION. WITHOUT INDUCING A RECESSION OR SMALL. AND SUGARY RECESSION OCCURS SOON. THE ELIO FORECAST THAT REVENUES COULD BE BETWEEN 30 TO $50 BILLION, BELOW ESTIMATES THAT WERE CONTAINED IN THE FISCAL OUTLOOK. AND AS A RESULT, THE YELLOW RECOMMENDS THAT THE LEGISLATURE BEGIN PLANNING NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET WITHOUT USING ANY GENERAL FUND RESERVES. AND IDENTIFY RECENT BUDGET ENHANCEMENT THAT COULD BE PAUSED OR DELAYED. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON THE PROPOSITION 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE FOR SCHOOLS. BASED ON THE WEAKER THAN ANTICIPATED REVENUES OF THE MINIMUM GUARANTEES FORECAST DECLINED BY 2.1 BILLION NEXT YEAR, AND THAT'S BELOW THE LEVELS THAT WERE CONTAINED IN THE BUDGET ACT. HOWEVER DESPITE THE DROP IN THE PROP 98 GUARANTEE THE REPORTS THAT THE STATE CAN MAINTAIN PROGRAM SPENDING FOR SCHOOLS AND PROVIDE A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT OF UP TO 8.38% NEXT YEAR AND DUTY. THREE KEY ADJUSTMENTS FIRST, THE 22 23 BUDGET ACT ALLOCATED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ONGOING FUNDING TO ONE TIME ACTIVITIES. WHICH WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR. AND THIS WILL FREE UP A LARGE AMOUNT OF ONGOING FUNDING FOR ALLOCATION AND FISCAL YEAR 23 24. SECOND DUE TO THE REDUCTIONS IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE PROGRAM COSTS NEXT YEAR WILL DECLINE AS WELL AND THEN THIRD CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUIRED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE PROP. 98 RESERVE ACCOUNT WILL

CAN CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? WHEN YOU LOOK AT 1% OF STUDENTS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT IS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THAT GREAT QUESTION. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR TOTAL CFF FUNDING, IT'S A LITTLE OVER 270 MILLION. YOU'LL SEE THAT HERE IN ANOTHER SLIDE, SO 1% OF THAT IS ABOUT $2.7 MILLION EACH. AND EVERY YEAR IT'S A IT'S A BIG NUMBER. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION AND HERE I'M JUST FOCUSING IN ON OUR UNRESTRICTED OPERATING ACCOUNTS. AND YOU CAN

[02:05:05]

AND THEN, OF COURSE, ALSO IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGE . EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION WOULD NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AS WELL MOVING FORWARD. AS MENTIONED EARLIER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY THEIR FINANCIAL CONDITION TWICE EACH YEAR, ONCE AT FIRST INTERIM AND THEN AGAIN AT SECOND IN THEM, AND THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF CERTIFICATION. FIRST WE HAVE A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION AND THAT INDICATES THE DISTRICT WILL BE ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT AND TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. NEXT WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A QUALIFIED CERTIFICATION AND THAT INDICATES THE DISTRICT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, EITHER EITHER IN THE CURRENT OR TO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AND THEN LASTLY, WE HAVE A NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION THAT INDICATES A DISTRICT WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET ITS CURRENT OBLIGATIONS, EITHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT YEAR OR THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR.

AND, OF COURSE, OUR STAFFS RECOMMENDING THE BOARD A SIGN OF POSITIVE CERTIFICATION TO THE DISTRICT'S FIRST INTERIM REPORT THIS EVENING. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR COMPONENTS OF ANY FUND BALANCE, AND THIS IS HOW WE PROJECT TO CLOSE OUT THE CURRENT YEAR. YOU CAN SEE WHERE PROJECTING TO CLOSE OUT WITH 128.5 MILLION IN OUR COMBINED GENERAL FUND, OF WHICH 67.8 MILLION IS SITTING IN UNRESTRICTED ACCOUNTS AND THEN JUST OVER 60.6 MILLION AND RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS. WE ALSO HAVE THAT LEGAL RESTRICTED RESERVE FOR CASH AND STORES SET ASIDE AT 317,000. AND THEN IN THE CENTER OF SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE SET ASIDE SOME OTHER COMMITMENTS. OTHER COMMITMENT FOR TEXTBOOK ADOPTIONS AT FIVE MILLION DECLINING ENROLLMENT AT 10 MILLION AND THEN DEFICIT MITIGATION AT JUST UNDER 16.4 MILLION. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WE'VE ALSO SET ASIDE A RESERVE FOR ALL OF OUR RESTRICTED CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS AT JUST UNDER 60.7 MILLION AND THEN WE HAVE THIS CONTINGENCY RESERVE AT 18.1 MILLION, AND THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE US WITH THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES OF 18.1 MILLION, OR 5% OF OUR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET. NEXT. WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT THE ADDITIONAL STATE AND FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS RECEIVED. AND SO THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS THE STATE COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING ALLOCATIONS THAT TOTAL APPROXIMATELY 73.2 MILLION. AND OF THIS AMOUNT, APPROXIMATELY 48.2 MILLION WILL BE RECEIVED IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND STAFF WILL PRESENT EXPENDITURE PLANS IN THE COMING MONTHS FOR THIS FUNDING, WHICH INCLUDE THE ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT. THE L. A P PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE LEARNING RECOVERY BLOCK GRANT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CHART. WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 17.9 MILLION DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS AND ANTICIPATE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY 14 MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR AND ANOTHER 20.3 MILLION NEXT YEAR. THE REMAINING BALANCE OF 21 MILLION IS BUDGETED IN FISCAL YEAR 24 25 BEYOND AND WILL BE SPENT BY THE RESPECT OF EXPENDITURE DEADLINES. AND IN THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE FEDERAL COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING ALLOCATIONS THAT TOTAL APPROXIMATELY 51.7 MILLION. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS SLIDE WE SPENT ABOUT 29.4 MILLION DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. AND ANTICIPATE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY 14.9 MILLION IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND OF THE REMAINING BALANCE AND S OR THREE FUNDS. 7.4 MILLION IS BUDGETED IN 23 24. AND THEN THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE TEMPORARY POSITIONS AND SERVICES THAT ARE FUNDED WITH ALL THE ONE TIME COVID 19 RELIEF FUNDING THAT ARE DISTRICTS RECEIVED AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THESE DOLLARS SEPARATELY TO ENSURE THAT THOSE ONGOING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE NOT CHARGED TO ONE TIME FUNDING SOURCES. AND SO YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE. WE'VE WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED HERE THE CURRENT YEAR 22 23. AND THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. IN THE CURRENT YEAR, WE'VE CHARGED 7.2

APPRECIATE THAT. ALRIGHT WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED AGAIN, FOLKS. OUR NEXT SECTION

[BOARD DISCUSSION]

IF YOU WANT US TO GO AND HAVE THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR EMPLOYEE GROUPS YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE AND WITH PARENTS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE ABOUT THIS AND GATHER FEEDBACK FOR YOU, OR IF IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT AT THIS POINT, WE'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, JUST NOT NOT JUST BECAUSE AT THIS TIME, SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS FROM YOU. AS WE GO FORWARD SO SOME POSSIBLE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES TO THIS, UM, FIRST OF ALL STARTING SCHOOL EARLIER, WE PUT US MORE IN LINE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS DISTRICTS IN THE AREA . UM IN THE 22 23 SCHOOL YEAR, WE BEGAN SCHOOL IN AUGUST 30TH THAT MAKES US THE LATEST UNIFIED THAT'S T K THROUGH 12 SCHOOL DISTRICT IN ORANGE COUNTY. AND FOR EXAMPLES DURING THE WEEK OF AUGUST 15TH. WE HAD NINE DISTRICTS START AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE DISTRICTS THERE THE WEEK OF AUGUST 22ND. THERE WERE TWO UNIFIED DISTRICTS THAT BEGAN SCHOOL THAT WEEK. AND THEN THE WEEK OF AUGUST 29TH. IT WAS US AND SO, UM, SO THEY WOULD PUT US MORE IN LINE. SECONDLY AND THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER SMALLER HAD MANAGED TO THIS, TOO. AND TO ME THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT WE SAW. IN TERMS OF HELPING STUDENTS OUT WAS THAT IF WE DO IT RIGHT, WE CAN MAKE THE FIRST SEMESTER IN IF WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS SCHOOL YEAR, FINAL EXAMS WOULD BE NEXT WEEK AND WE WOULD END THE SCHOOL IN THE FIRST SEMESTER BEFORE WINTER BREAK AND WHAT THAT DID FOR STUDENTS IN BOTH MY PREVIOUS DISTRICTS WAS.

IT GAVE HIM A TRUE WINTER BREAK WHERE THEY WEREN'T STUDYING FOR FINALS. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING LOOMING OVER THEM. AND I HEARD PERSONALLY FROM DOZENS OF STUDENTS SAYING THAT WAS A GAME CHANGER FOR THEM BECAUSE YOU KNOW SCHOOLS STRESSFUL FOR KIDS, AND SO TO HAVE THAT CHANGE WAS WAS A BIG DEAL FOR THEM. UM IT WOULD MEAN THAT THE FIRST SEMESTER WOULD BE SLIGHTLY SHORTER THAN THE SECOND SEMESTER . BUT WE DO HAVE TESTING IN THE SECOND SEMESTER, AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE EQUAL. AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS ONE OF THE THINGS OUT THERE TO THERE WOULD BE MORE

[02:20:04]

IN MANY WAYS, IT'S A GREAT THING I BELIEVE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. IT. HAS REALLY NO BENEFITS FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT OWES ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WILL EVENTUALLY BE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RIGHT AND SO IT DOES BENEFIT THEM THAT WAY, AND I'VE HEARD SUGGESTIONS OF HAVING DIFFERENT SCHEDULES FOR ELEMENTARY, AND THAT'S JUST MEAN KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER. THAT'S WHAT WE DO SO IT IS A UNIFIED EFFORT WITH ALL ALONG THIS AND AS I SAID, THE VERY BEGINNING, THE TRANSITION CAN BE DIFFICULT , BECAUSE BASICALLY IF WE WERE TO DO THIS IN THE SUMMER OF 25 OR 2020 FOR YOU, YOU LOSE A WEEK OF SUMMER AND I DON'T KNOW ANY STUDENT OR TEACHER OUT THERE OR PROBABLY MOM OR DAD, WHO'S GOING TO APPRECIATE LOSING A WEEK OF SUMMER, BUT YOU GET THE YOU GET THROUGH A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD AND THEN IT'S SET. AND SO I CAN'T ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES WITH IT, BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR THIS CONVERSATION AND THE FEEDBACK YOU HAVE AND WHETHER OR NOT WANT ME TO START START TALKING WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND BRINGING IT BACK TO IT LATER TIME. I HAD A QUESTION WHEN IF WE DID TRANSITION TO THIS, AND WE LOST A WEEK OF SUMMER, CAN WE MAKE IT UP AND GET LIKE? CAN WE MAKE IT UP SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT CHRISTMAS TIME OF THAT YEAR, LIKE HAVE THREE WEEKS, SO THAT WAS PERCENT TO BUZZ WAS ABUZZ TODAY ABOUT YOU KNOW THE CHRISTMAS DATE OF BEING DECEMBER 23RD AND NOT HAVING THE WHOLE WEEK AND SO EVERYTHING IS ESTABLISHED. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO, BUT I WAS, BUT SOMEBODY WAS LIKE WE GET THREE WEEKS AT CHRISTMAS. SO I WAS WONDERING IF DURING THAT TRANSITION LIKE WE LOSE A WEEK, CAN WE SAY WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A WEEK OF YOUR SUMMER, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO GAIN LIKE MAYBE THREE WEEKS TO CHRISTMAS IN THAT TRANSITION IS THAT POSSIBLE? UM SO I THINK WHAT YOU AND I KIND OF HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT IDEA BEFORE, AND I KIND OF LIKE IT BECAUSE THE IDEA IS MAKE IT UP AT CHRISTMAS AND THAT THEREFORE THE SCHOOL WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF ENDED THE SAME TIME. MY ONLY CAUTION WOULD BE MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO MAKE THAT A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD ONLY JUST FOR THAT YEAR. JUST SO RIGHT. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE JUST DIDN'T GIVE UP A WEEK OF FAMILIES. YOU KNOW IF YOU READ THE BOOK IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, RIGHT? UM THREE WEEKS IS NICE. IT'S NOT THAT GREAT FOR INSTRUCTION. IT'S NOT MEAN MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. STUFF IS NOT THAT GREAT. AND SO, UM, BUT, YEAH, TRANSITIONAL E. IT COULD BE AN OUTSTANDING I KIND OF PLACATING IDEA, RIGHT? YEAH STILL, YOU'D STILL LOSE THAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SO EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE NEXT YEAR, IF YOU'VE ADDED THAT WEEK IN THE MIDDLE BEERS, AND IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT YEAR, AND YOU'RE DOING EITHER ONE OR TWO WEEKS, YOU'RE STILL LOSING IT AGAIN. SO IT DOESN'T REALLY HELP.

EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE TO LOSE A WEEK. THEY'LL BE PAYING EVENTUALLY. YEAH, BUT YEAH. WE COULD LOOK AT SOME ALTERNATIVES LIKE THAT. AND YOU SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT THOSE MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE GLASS HALF FULL. LOOK AT YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF THREE WEEKS AT CHRISTMAS IF IT WAS ONGOING, I AS A PARENT OF KIDS THAT HAVE GONE TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND NOW A THIRD ONE, IT I AM 100% FOR THIS SO THAT THEY HAVE A BREAK DURING THE WINTER. THERE'S NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING AS A PARENT AND AS A KID THAT YOU DON'T GET THAT BREAK. EVERYBODY ELSE GETS A BREAK IN THE WORLD. AND OUR KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL. DON'T THEY ALWAYS HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO? THEY'RE ALWAYS THINGS THAT THEY'RE CATCHING UP WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I LAST NIGHT WERE PLANNING ABOUT YOU KNOW, WE GOT THIS TWO WEEKS AND THEN FROM THERE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GET PREPARED FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER? SO AND IT JUST I HATE THAT I THEY REALLY DESERVE A MENTAL BREAK. AND SO I AM TOTALLY FOR CHANGING IT FOR THEM. I THINK THAT IF IT IMPACTS ELEMENTARY EVENTUALLY, WHEN THEY GET TO HIGH SCHOOL. THEY'LL APPRECIATE THAT. UM, I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF STEPPING IT, THOUGH. IF WE WERE TO GO TO TWO FULL WEEKS DOING THAT IN ONE YEAR WOULD BE EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL. UM BUT I THINK THAT DEFINITELY WE NEED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND ENDING IT AT THE SEMESTER WOULD BE AWESOME, AND DEFINITELY THE PARENT INPUT AND THE COMMUNITY AND ALL THE STAFF AND EVERYBODY'S INPUT FOR SURE. I GOT FEEDBACK FROM A FEW TEACHERS

[02:25:01]

CHRIS DURING THE HOLIDAY BREAK. BUT ALSO REALLY CAUTION LIKE TRYING TO BE TOO AGGRESSIVE, TOO QUICKLY. DO A WEEK. WAIT A COUPLE OF YEARS. UM, AND THEN AND GO, I REEVALUATE, UM I HAD A FRIEND AT GARDEN GROVE, AND THEY MOVED THERE. DISTRICT THREE WEEKS UP THREE YEARS IN A ROW, LOSING SUMMER VACATION. AND IT WAS HARD. IT WAS A LOT TO TAKE ON AND, UM I MIGHT HAVE HAD MY FACTS WRONG, SO DON'T FACT. CHECK ME NINE WEEKS EVERY YEAR. SHE'S LIKE WE LOSE ANOTHER WEEK , YOU KNOW, AND SO I JUST SAY, IF WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, LET'S TAKE IT A WEEK AT A TIME AND TRY IT OUT AND SEE HOW IT WORKS. GET ACCLIMATED AND THEN YOU KNOW, DISCUSS GOING THE FURTHER WEEK. BET ESPECIALLY WHEN KIDS ARE ALREADY STARTING ALL THEIR ACTIVITIES BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. WE'RE ALREADY YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALREADY AT SCHOOL, SO WE MIGHT AS WELL START IT, BUT I DO WANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY OPEN. SOMEBODY CAME TONIGHT TO PUT SOME WORDS IN TWO YEARS FIGURED OUT WHAT NOW THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 23 24 IS SET. WHEN DO WE HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION? TO START IN 24 25. WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR HISTORY IS HERE, BUT I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE I MEAN, IF YOU WERE, LIKE MOST PLACES, I HAVEN'T GOT THESE QUESTIONS YET. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY LOOKING FOR THAT 24 25 CALENDAR RIGHT PEOPLE ARE MAKING SOME PEOPLE ARE MAKING PLANS FOR THEM SO DO WE HAVE? YEAH. YEAH I DON'T. I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO EARLY TO START LOOKING AT THAT FOR ME, JIM FOR A LATE SPRING DECISION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT PEOPLE CAN MENTALLY PREPARE HONESTLY FOR THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. WE KNOW IN A YEAR I'M LOSING A WEEK OR WHATEVER. OKAY SO I THINK IT MAY CUT DOWN ON SOME OF THE STUDENT ATTENDANCE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.

MAYBE YEAH. YEAH FAMILIES ARE ALREADY PLANNING THEIR VACAY AND THEY'VE GOT TO PULL THEIR KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL TO, UH TO GO DO IT . SO THAT MIGHT HELP US IN THAT THAT LONG RIGHT? WELL, I'M CLEARING THE FEEDBACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND SO WILL MY NEXT EFFORT WILL BE TO START REACHING OUT TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON WHERE WE ARE. OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

[02:30:02]

[02:35:03]

THROUGHOUT CLOSE THE GAP COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY WHAT SUPPORTS. WE NEED IN PLACE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND THAT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY, IT JUST GIVES US THE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR STAFF. YOU KNOW WHO CAN HELP WITH THAT PROCESS IS RESTRICTED TO PERSONNEL. I IT'S NOT. YES, IT IS. THEY DO WANT US HIRING ADDITIONAL STAFF SPECIFICALLY FOR THEY ARE RESTRICTIONS WITHIN IT, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDING IS REQUIRED RESTRICTIONS TO WHO WE HAVE TO HIRE. NO WE GET TO DECIDE THAT IT IS. THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE AND THEN A CLERICAL POSITION AS WELL. BUT WE GET TO, YOU KNOW, CHOOSE WHO WE'RE HAVING DO THAT 20,000 RECOVER THOSE TWO POSITIONS. CORRECT? YES. BUT IT'S A ONE TIME RIGHT. IT'S NOT ONGOING IS ONGOING. THIS IS ONGOING. CONTINUE AND I'M GOING TO LOOK OVER TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL DIRECTOR DISTRIBUTION. SURE IT IS ONGOING, RIGHT, GINA FOR FOUR YEARS. THANK YOU, OKAY. POSITIONS AND HORRIBLE. FROM THE WEIRD LIFE. SO RIGHT NOW, WE OFFER A SAMPLING OF WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR OUR STUDENTS. SO FOR EXAMPLE, AT ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES ACADEMY, STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN EXTRA SHIPS IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF THE PROGRAM AT CALTECH STUDENTS PARTICIPATE INTERNSHIPS IN THE SUMMER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE WORK BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS, SO THE CORE OF THIS GRANT IS A WORK BASED LEARNING EXPANSION. AND SO WHOEVER WE PUT IN THAT ROLE, THEIR PRIMARY GOAL WILL BE TO BE A PART OF THE CURRENT CONSORTIUM WITH ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ED TO WORK WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OTHER DISTRICTS AND START TO WORK IN NETWORK TO BUILD MORE WORK BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UM I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH ESPERANZA'S PROGRAMS, OBVIOUSLY , BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I CAME FROM THE ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING ACADEMY. THERE'S GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR THOSE STUDENTS, BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD THE ABILITY TO DO THAT YET. SO THE PERSON PUT IN PLACE AS A RESULT OF THIS GRANT THAT WILL BE THEIR PRIMARY ROLE IS TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ESTABLISH THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS, SO WE ARE NOT PAYING FOR DATA. UM COLLECTING DATA IS A PART OF THIS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY GROWING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORKFORCE FOR STUDENTS TO GIVE MORE OF THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY, SO IT'S ALL CONNECTED TO THE DASHBOARD INTO THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. BUT THERE IS A STRICT REQUIREMENT OF WHAT THAT PERSON WILL DO, AND THAT WILL BE THEIR PRIMARY ROLE. SO HOPEFULLY IT'S GEARED TOWARDS C T. IT'S A IT IS CT. YES, IT'S, UH, WORK BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE GROUND THAT WE APPLIED FOR. DOES THAT HELP? I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY RIGHT FOR THEM SO WE CAN HAVE A VERY GOOD RIGHT. YEAH I THINK MORE INFORMATION AND THE CYBERSECURITY PIECES IMPORTANT, LIKE, WHAT IS THE DATA SO WE CAN HOLD IT AND WE'LL COME BACK AT THE SHOW EMOTIONS POSTPONING IT TO THE NEXT MEETING. ARE WE AT RISK OF LOSING IT? IF WE DO NOT

[02:40:01]

OKAY WE NEED A SECOND FOR THAT. MAYBE SINCE. YEAH YOU DID IT. YOU SAID SECOND AGAIN. OKAY, SO THE MOTION IS AMENDED TO BE TALKED ABOUT AT THE NEXT MEETING . AWESOME OKAY, EVERYONE, UM. DO I HAVE A VOTE ON THAT? EVERYONE SURE. YES, YES. YES YES. THANK YOU. YES NEGATIVES AND ANY NOSE ALRIGHT. FIVE. OH, AWESOME SO THAT. LEADS US TO OUR ADJOURNMENT. I'D LIKE TO GET A MOTION FIRST MEETING. YOU SHOULD ADJOURN IT AND I BELIEVE THERE'S A SPECIAL ADJOURNMENT. HOWEVER LOOK FOR THE ABOUT THE SPECIAL AGREEMENT RIGHT HERE. OH, GOTCHA. I LIKE THE MOTION TO ADJOURN THE DECEMBER 13TH 2022 BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING IN MEMORY OF EDWARD HERNANDEZ, SUBSTITUTE SPECIAL EDUCATION AID. SECOND. IF I MAY. WE WERE RECENTLY MADE AWARE. THE PASSING OF OUR BELOVED AND WELL RESPECTED SUBSTITUTE SPECIAL EDUCATION AID. EDWARD HERNANDEZ.

HE WAS A LONG TIME COMMUNITY MEMBER PARENTS AND WAS A CONSTANT PRESENCE THROUGH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND SO WE WERE WANTING TO JOIN THE MEETING IN HIS HONOR. OKAY. I'M UH. I THINK WE SHOULD WISH ALREADY. MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY NEW HOLIDAYS. HAPPY NEW YEAR HAPPY NEW YEAR.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY NEW YEARS AND, UH, ALL IN FAVOR. ALL IN FAVOR. I OPPOSED MOTION. IT PASSED
