I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE YORBA LINDA ARTS ALLIANCE FOUNDATION, AND I'M ALSO THE PARENT ADVOCATE WITH ARTS NOW WITH ME IS NEIL KAPLAN, WHO IS PRESIDENT OF OUR ARTS FOUNDATION. UM TODAY WE ATTENDED A MEETING WITH ARTS NOW AND SCOTT FITZPATRICK FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO DISCUSS AN OVERVIEW OF THE EL CAP. AND THE OUR DISTRICT WAS RECOGNIZED FOR EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ARTS FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND WE'RE JUST SO PROUD, AND I WAS EXCITED TO HEAR ALL THE AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING THE ARTS. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. OUR ARTS FOUNDATION HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THE ARTS FOR OVER 23 YEARS. IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE, EDUCATE AND CREATE PROGRAMS AND EVENTS. WE ENCOMPASS ALL ASPECTS OF THE ARTS AND WE'RE SO EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. THE REASON WE'RE HERE IS THAT WE'RE LAUNCHING A PROGRAM THAT'S GEARED TOWARDS DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL ART STUDENTS WERE CALLING IT THE STUDENT ARTS AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. THIS IS A MENTORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. IT OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO APPLY. WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING IN SCHOOL AND TAKE IT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, AND THIS INCLUDES THE VISUAL ARTS, THEATER, DANCE MUSIC AND ANY ASPECT OF THE ARTS AND THE STUDENTS THAT ARE REALLY ENTHUSED AND WANT TO BE PROACTIVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM. OUR ADULT ADVISORY BOARD WILL OFFER WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS AND ENCOURAGED THE STUDENTS TO TAKE

[00:25:02]

AND THE FIRST EXCITING EVENT IS GOING TO BE CALLED ARTS OLOGY, AND IT'S SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY.

APRIL THE 30TH. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE ENTIRE YOUR BELINDA CULTURAL ARTS CENTER. IT'S A BRAND NEW FACILITY, AND WE'RE RESERVING THE ENTIRE FACILITY FOR THE STUDENTS TO SHOWCASE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND EXHIBITS. THIS EVENT WILL BE FREE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO COME AND APPRECIATE ALL THE TALENTED STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT AND WE'RE GOING TO BE UPGRADING YOU UPDATING YOU AS WE PROGRESS AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT PROGRAM WILL BE TALKING TO VARIOUS THE TEACHERS TAS THE PARENTS TO GET MORE AND MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED, AND LIKE WE SAID, WE WANT TO INCLUDE AS MANY STUDENTS AS POSSIBLE IN THIS PROGRAM, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. ONE MORE THING. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ON FEBRUARY THE SEVENTH, DR MARIA ROSARIO JACKSON IS GOING TO BE DOING THE CREATIVE EDGE LECTURE AT BARCLAY BARCLAY THEATER. SO CONTACT US IF YOU'D LIKE TO ATTEND WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET THERE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU. NEXT UP MARK MYERS. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS MARK MYERS . I TEACH CHOIR AT ESPERANZA CAME HERE LAST YEAR FROM A LONG CAREER IN EDUCATION IN THE CHICAGO AREA, TEACHING IN A DISTRICT SIMILAR TO THIS AND ALSO IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, WHERE I WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION THAT REACHED OUT TO OVER 4000 KIDS IN THIRD THROUGH 12TH GRADE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO THROUGH MUSIC INSTRUCTION. UM FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR THEATER AT ESPERANZA, UM WITH UPDATING IN RENOVATING THAT SPACE, SO THANKS TO MANY PEOPLE HERE FOR SUPPORTING THAT PROJECT , UM SECONDLY, MY MAIN POINT FOR BEING HERE IS JUST EXPRESSING MY EXCITEMENT ABOUT PROPOSITION 28 THE FUNDING THAT THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR MUSIC AND ARTS INSTRUCTION, ALTHOUGH WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF WHAT WE DO HERE , AND A LOT OF TEACHERS HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH OUR STUDENTS IN MUSIC. AH WE DO START OUR MUSIC CURRICULUM AND FOURTH GRADE AND AT THIS POINT HALF OF THE DISTRICTS IN ORANGE COUNTY ACTUALLY STARTED IN KINDERGARTEN OR TK, UM AND THEN ALSO JUST WITHIN OUR PROGRAMS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. I THINK MANY OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR. WE GIVE TWO HOURS OF INSTRUCTION TO INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. BUT IN VOCAL GENERAL, WE ONLY DO ONE HOUR. OF INSTRUCTION . AS A RESULT, WE DO NOT HAVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHOIRS IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHICH IS SOMETHING I HAD NEVER REALLY HEARD OF UNTIL I CAME HERE, SO I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES TO THAT. AND I'M HOPING THAT PROPOSITION 28 CAN OPEN THE ROAD TO MORE STAFFING, WHICH THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT PROPOSITION IS GEARED TOWARD 80. I BELIEVE OF THE FUNDING. IS TO BE DEDICATED TO STAFFING, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I'M REALLY GRATEFUL TO GINA, AGGIE, LAR AND COUNTER DRAKE FOR REACHING OUT TO OUR STAFF TO ASK US FOR OUR INPUT AS TEACHERS, UM AND WHAT THE PLANS ARE MOVING FORWARD. UM I ALSO HOPE THAT STAFFING IN TERMS OF PUTTING HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS IN ALL OF OUR CLASSROOMS THAT ARE FULLY QUALIFIED TO TEACH WHETHER IT'S MUSIC IN THE VOCAL SPECIALTY INSTRUMENTAL SPECIALTY IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK LOOK AT ADDRESSING UM, AND AGAIN I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH WITH EVERYONE ON TAKING SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF AS A COMMUNITY AND OFFERING MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO KIDS, AND AT AN EARLIER AGE THAT WILL BENEFIT THEM IN LIFE.

IN MANY WAYS, THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PANDEMIC AND THE ISOLATION THAT KIDS WENT THROUGH. OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH, THEIR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LEARNING, AND ALSO WE JUST HEARD ABOUT ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS. UM, DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCES, CULTURALLY, UM IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND I GOTTA SAY THAT MUSIC EDUCATION, UH, REALLY AUTHENTICALLY ADDRESSES ALL THOSE ISSUES IN A WAY THAT'S MEANINGFUL FOR KIDS, WHETHER THEY GO INTO MUSIC AS A CAREER OR NOT REALLY ENRICHES THEIR LIVES. SO THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, AND IT'S A IT'S AN HONOR TO BE IN THIS DISTRICT AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GROWTH THAT WE SEE. THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT UP, PAM. THIS WAS NOT WHAT I WAS PLANNING ON SPEAKING ABOUT, BUT THANK YOU, GABRIELLA FOR ALLOWING ME TO SING HANDEL'S MESSIAH LAST

[00:30:03]

THANK YOU. NEXT UP, MISS JULIE KLINKENBERG. UH, SURE. REPUBLIC E. BRIAN WHAT'S THAT, SIR? SIR? NO. YEAH. AND ROCKHILL F. JULIE, YOU'LL BE UP FIRST.

[00:35:12]

RIGHT NOW. OUR WHAT IS OUR SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE HOW IS OUR CABINET? I CALL YOU CABINET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELVES THE CABINET. THE PROFESSIONALS AT AT OUR SITES LIKE THE TRAINED QUALIFIED, HIGHLY QUALIFIED EDUCATORS AT THE SITES. THAT'S THE HOW AND THEN THE WAY IS PUBLIC EDUCATION . WE'RE HERE BECAUSE OUR CHILDREN DESERVE HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION. UM. SIMON SAYS PEOPLE DON'T BUY WHAT YOU DO THEY BUY. WHY YOU DO IT. SO AS I WAS REFLECTING ON, WHY ARE WHY IN PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA, I'M THE PROUD MOM OF THREE GRADUATES, AND I THINK WE HAVE THE SAME WAY NOW AS WE DID WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE HERE, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN WASTING SO MUCH TIME ON THE MINUTIA. AND WHAT DOWN HERE THAT WE'RE LOSING SIGHT OF THE WHY AND I WAS I'M SO HAPPY. WE HAVE FOUR CALIFORNIA DISTINGUISHED SCHOOLS, MY KIDS. WHEN MY KIDS WERE AT FAIRMONT AND YOUR BLENDED THEY WERE CALLED OUT FOR EXCELLENCE, SO I KNOW WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. ACCORDING TO A HEART RESEARCH EDUCATION SURVEY, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED JANUARY 13TH OF THIS YEAR VOTERS TOP GOALS FOR SCHOOLS ARE STRONG, FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS IN READING, MATH AND SCIENCE AND TELL YOU OLDER FOLKS LIKE ME, IT'S NOT HOW WE LEARNED WE NEED TO BE CURRENT WITH OUR PRACTICES BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS LIKE OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN CLASS RIGHT NOW ARE DIFFERENT.

THEY'RE GOING UP IN A DIFFERENT TIME. THEY NEED TO HAVE CRITICAL THINKING. COLLABORATION COMMUNICATION, CREATIVITY. THESE ARE THE KEY AND THEY ARE WHAT OUR CURRENT EDUCATED STAFF AND ALL ACROSS THE DISTRICT THEY'RE CURRENTLY TRAINED IN THAT AND THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO DO SO. SO I SAY, LET THE TEACHERS TEACH ALSO THE SURVEY INCLUDED A GOAL TO ENSURE ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND, HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. I LOVE THAT MOTTO. NOTICE NEEDED AND NURTURED THAT I SEE ON BATTERIES ACROSS OUR DISTRICT. RY SHOULD PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND RECOGNIZE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, MESSY, COLORFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN. WE WANT ALL STUDENTS TO BE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE CAREER SERVICE AND CITIZENSHIP IN THE WORLD. THAT IS MADE UP OF HUMANS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. UM SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELL BEING . I'M I'M APPRECIATIVE THAT DR MATTHEWS BROUGHT THAT UP. MAYBE 1266 WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY JERRY BROWN IN 2013. THIS REQUIRES ALL K THROUGH 12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO ALLOW BOYS AND GIRLS , RESTROOMS, SHOWERS AND LOCKER ROOMS. OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS, HUNDREDS OF P O L FAMILIES HAVE BEEN SPEAKING AND EMAILING THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT. ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS. THERE HAVE BEEN EXPOSURES. GIRLS ARE HOLDING THEIR URINE. THEY'RE STAYING HOME WHEN THEY ARE MENSTRUATING. AND THEY FEEL UNSAFE. THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. LAST WEEK, A MINOR WALKED INTO A GIRL'S LOCKER ROOM AT HER Y M C A AND WAS EXPOSED TO A NAKED MAN. OUR HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE MINERS AS WELL AS ADULT. HIGH SCHOOLERS. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL AND CHANGING YOUR CLOTHES NEXT TO AN 18 YEAR OLD MALE? CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ANY AGE GIRL AND CHANGING YOUR CLOTHES IN FRONT OF AN ANY AGE BOY? I'M AWARE THAT THE HELLCAT PLANNING IS UNDERWAY. AND I'M ASKING THAT THE BOARD LOOK INTO REMOVING THE MULTI CELL BATHROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS AND INSTALLING SINGLE USE FACILITIES. YOU OWE IT TO THE CHILDREN OF PY WELL, USD TO ENSURE THAT THEY FEEL SAFE. AND THAT THEY HAVE BODILY PRIVACY.

THANK YOU. MHM. THANK YOU, MA'AM. OKAY? BRIAN SARNO. SO I WAS UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT BOARD

[00:40:02]

BOARD APPROVAL SHOULD BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO PURCHASE IT GOES ON LATER TO STATE IF AN END ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL WISHES TO DONATE MONEY OR EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT AND EXTRACURRICULAR OR CO CURRICULAR ACTIVITY. IT SHALL MAKE KNOWN ITS INTENTIONS IN WRITING TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, HAVING FIRST CONSULTED WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND SUPERINTENDENT. BOARD APPROVAL SHALL BE OBTAINED PRIOR SHOULD IS A RECOMMENDATION SHALL IS A REQUIREMENT. I TAKE THIS TO MEAN THAT AT A MINIMUM PRIOR TO ANY DONATIONS BEING MADE THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL AND THE SUPERINTENDENT MUST APPROVE THE DONATION. HOWEVER DONATIONS FOR EXTRA CURRICULAR AND CO CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN BOARD APPROVAL PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE.

HAVING GONE THROUGH PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING MINUTES. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT BORDER APPROVAL HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR THE MAJORITY OF POTENTIAL DONATIONS TO THESE PROGRAMS. I ASKED THE BOARD ENFORCES BY LAW IN ITS ENTIRETY, AS REQUIRED. SO THIS GOES BACK TO POTENTIALLY TO THE TRACK AND FIELD. TO ANYTHING SPORTS RELATED THEATER RELATED IT'S IN THE BYLAW. IF THE BYLAW NEEDS TO BE REVISED, THEN I SUGGEST THAT THE BOARD MAKES THAT REVISION. BUT PREVIOUSLY I BELIEVE ALL THOSE SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO US TO KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN BECAUSE THERE COULD BE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, POTENTIALLY THAT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF. IN ADDITION, THE BYLAW STATES THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL ESTABLISH CRITERIA TO BE MET AND ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS AND THE PROCEDURES FOR EXAMINING EVALUATING OFFERS OF GIFTS TO THE DISTRICT. THIS PROBABLY GOES BACK TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. PREVIOUSLY DR MATTHEWS ABOUT TALKING TO THE PRINCIPLES I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE BYLAWS. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR US TO KNOW. MAYBE WHEN YOU MADE THAT DECISION, IT COULD BE WITH LIBRARY BOOKS. IT COULD BE WITH OTHER THINGS, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD ALSO BE, UH BROUGHT IN THE NEW ONE THAT FURTHER ON. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE BYLAWS THAT REGARDS AND APPROVED LIST OF BOOKS, WHICH AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS TO CHECK OUT IN THE LIBRARY. THERE IS NO DISCUSSION OF THE LIBRARY AND THE BYLAWS AT ALL, WHETHER IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BOOKS OR NOT. SO THESE ARE JUST ITEMS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RAQUEL AND I'M A PARENT OF THREE IN THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS AN EDUCATOR. AH THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO ADDRESS AND THAT TONIGHT. THE FIRST IS THE APPROVAL AGREEMENT WITH ORBACH, HUFF AND HENDERSON LLP. ATTORNEYS AT LAW THE AGENDA IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHY WE NEED TO SPEND UP TO $150,000 TO RETAIN A NEW LAW FIRM WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE AN ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT, UM SO I'M ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS FOR THE PUBLIC BEFORE VOTING ON IT LATER TONIGHT. UM NEXT. THE AGENDA ASKS YOU. THE BOARD TO APPROVE MANY ITEMS RELATED TO STUDENT SERVICES, TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND CONTRACTS RECOMMENDED BY SCHOOL P T. A S AS A PARENT. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE WHEN TRUSTEES ASK INSIGHTFUL QUESTIONS AND RESEARCH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS ON THEIR OWN, HOWEVER. UM AS IT WAS POINTED OUT BEFORE, UH, CARRIE BUCK SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE ONLY TRUSTEES WHO VISIT SCHOOLS REGULARLY AND SINCE OTHER TRUSTEES HAVEN'T I FEEL THAT THERE'S NO REASON TO DOUBT THAT THE SCHOOL ADMIN THE DISTRICT MP TO IS ASKED FOR THESE SERVICES FOR A GOOD REASON, BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM. THEREFORE IF ANYONE PLANS TO VOTE AGAINST ANY OF THESE SERVICES, AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVES SHOULD BE SUGGESTED IN ORDER TO MITIGATE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS. I ALSO AGREE WITH WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE I DO FEEL THAT SOMETIMES BOARD REPORTS AREN'T SPECIFIC ENOUGH AS TO WHAT IS BEING DONE BEHIND THE SCENES AND I ASKED FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY WITH THAT AS WELL. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SCHOOLS IF YOU'RE WORKING ON THINGS LIKE WE, AS PARENTS WERE HERE BECAUSE WE CARE WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT SO PERHAPS ADDING THOSE IN YOUR BOARD REPORTS WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR US. UM AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT, UM AND I REALLY THINK DR MATTHEWS FOR YOU. BRINGING THIS UP IS THE INSTANCES OF RACISM AND ANTI LGBTQ SENTIMENT AMONG STUDENTS. UM I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU SAID IT PUBLICLY THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON ADDRESSING IT. UM I ALSO APPRECIATE THAT THE BOARD OR AT LEAST OUR LAST BOARD. UH

[00:45:07]

THANK YOU. I'M JUST HERE TO SAY I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAL STATE FULLERTON PULLING ITS STUDENT TEACHERS. MY KIDS HAVE HAD SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING TEACHERS HERE IN P Y L SO I HATE TO SEE FUTURE TEACHERS, SOME FORMER P Y EL STUDENTS THEMSELVES MISSING OUT ON LEARNING FROM THE BEST OF THE BEST. I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHY WE'D WANT TO DEPRIVE OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF THIS LOCAL RESOURCE. I'VE BEEN QUESTIONING THE NEED FOR THE CRT BAN FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. I MET WITH LEANDRO BLADES LAST SPRING, AND SHE COULDN'T PROVIDE ANY EVIDENCE OF A PROBLEM IN OUR DISTRICT. I ASKED DOCTOR MATTHEWS HOW MANY DISTRICT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED REGARDING CRT? OR C? S? U S STUDENT TEACHERS AND HE SAID ZERO. SO I'M KINDLY ASKING THE BOARD TO REVISE OR REPEAL THE BAN BECAUSE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES ROOTED IN TENANTS OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY POSED NO THREAT TO OUR STUDENTS. IN FACT, THEY COULD HELP ADDRESS ACTUAL PROBLEMS IN P Y EL, SUCH AS THE RACIST INCIDENT AT TRAVIS RANCH , SO STUDENTS CAN BETTER FOCUS ON LEARNING. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOLKS. OKAY AH, THIS WILL BRING US TO OUR GENERAL FUNCTIONS. OUR ITEM NUMBER ONE WAS WAS MOVED. SO WE'LL GO PAST THAT MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO. I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION ON ITEM. OH, I'M SORRY. LET ME BACK UP. AT THIS POINT,

[COMMUNICATIONS AND BOARD REPORT]

A, UM, LISTEN TO ESPERANZA'S CHOIR THAT THAT'S SAYING FOR US THERE. THAT WAS A LOVELY MORNING ERA. LOVELY LUNCH. TO GET TO SPEND WITH OUR DISTRICT STAFF, OUR DISTRICT OFFICE STAFF AND HEAR ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AND WHAT I DID HEAR ABOUT WAS ALL OF THE DOOR DECORATIONS. UM, IT WAS SUCH A BIG TOPIC THAT I CAME AND CHECKED THEM ALL OUT. SO THE DOORS HERE AT THE DISTRICT TOUR IN EACH DEPARTED MINT, WHERE DECORATED IN A DIFFERENT WAY. AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT SPECIAL, ED. REALLY, UM LIKE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK AND LAID DOWN THE GAUNTLET FOR NEXT YEAR. UM THERE'S WAS A WHOLE EXPERIENCE A POLAR EXPRESS EXPERIENCE. IT WAS NICE TO COME AND SEE THAT UM, I ATTENDED OR I WENT TO A SCHOOL VISIT AT BRETT BRYANT RANCH RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAY AND GOT TO SEE SOME GREAT STUFF HAPPENING. UM AND TO CAP IT ALL OFF WAS THE KINDERGARTEN OR THE TK CLASS THAT WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE THAT NIGHT GETTING AND THEY HAD THE FIFTH GRADERS THERE WATCHING AS THEIR PRACTICE AUDIENCE. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. UM AND WE GOT, UM, THROUGH EVERY CLASSROOM WITH MRS ROBLES AT BRYANT RANCH AND THEN I ALSO ATTENDED WOODSBORO THAT SAME WEEK, RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF SCHOOL. AND THAT WAS FUN AS WELL. YOU'D THINK THAT, UM, IT WOULD BE NOT THE BEST VISIT. IF YOU'RE GOING

[00:50:03]

I HOPE THAT WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE GRANTS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE FOR FACILITIES AND KITCHEN TO EXPAND THAT. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO GET AS MANY OF THOSE OUT AS WE CAN TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. UM INSTEAD OF JUST THE SHIPTON OR THE TRUCKED IN PRODUCTS IF WE COULD UM, AND THEN JUST GOING BACK TO THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. THE UPGRADES ARE LOOKING GREAT OVER AT WAGNER, BUT I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM THAT PAID FOR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. I WAS EXPECTING IT TO APPEAR IN THERE AT THAT LOCATION. AND I, UM WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIES THAT HAVE KIDS ON THEIR WAITING LIST. UM IT IS A PAID PROGRAM, BUT THERE IS A HUGE SHORTAGE FOR PRESCHOOLS. AND SO IF WE COULD EXPAND WHAT WE'RE DOING. HAVE PRESCHOOL, MORE PRESCHOOLS. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THOSE KIDS INSTEAD OF TRANSFERRING OUT TO OTHER, UM TO OTHER SCHOOLS. IF WE START THEM EARLY, THEY TEND TO STAY IN OUR SCHOOL AND NOT TRANSFER OUT. SO I ENCOURAGE US TO LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP. UM PRESCHOOL AND LOOK AT THAT IN THE FUTURE. UM I THINK. WE HAD THE CONGRATULATIONS. I WAS GOING TO ALSO SAY SO.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SCHOOLS FOR OUR OUR OUR FOR SCHOOLS THAT RECEIVED THAT DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL. UM, AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO A STUDENT THAT RECEIVED AN AWARD AND I LEFT MY NOTES AT HOME, SO I DON'T HAVE HIS NAME WRITTEN DOWN, BUT, UM, IF YOU GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU'LL SEE IT.

THERE WAS ONE OF OUR STUDENTS AT YOUR BLEND OF HIGH SCHOOL THAT WAS NAMED ONE OF THE 300. UM 300 MATH OF MATH AND SCIENCE REPRESENTATIVES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR SOME SORT OF SORT OF. I'M SO SORRY THAT I FORGET. UM AND DIDN'T BRING MY NOTES, BUT IT WAS QUITE AN AMAZING RECOGNITION. ONE STUDENT AT IN OUR DISTRICT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY LOOKING AT THAT THE SCIENCE AND MATH. I WILL SEND IT BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT . UM AND SO I APOLOGIZE TO HIM OUT THERE. I WISH I COULD REMEMBER HIS HIS NAME BECAUSE IT WAS TYLER YANG. THANK YOU SO MUCH, UM, SO GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR HIM. THANK YOU FOR THE FOR THE ASSIST OUT THERE. UM IT'S JUST I JUST AMAZED AT WHAT HE DID, AND HE HAD A PROJECT THAT WAS PROBABLY SEVEN OR EIGHT WORDS LONG ABOUT WHAT HE DID AND WHAT HE LOOKED AT. UM AS A RESULT OF THAT, WHAT HE HAD TO SUBMIT, AND IT IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE. SO UM, I'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL GET THAT INFORMATION WE HEAR ABOUT TYLER. SO THAT'S IT FOR ME. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY AND HAPPY NEW

[00:55:04]

[01:00:05]

REALLY? I WATCH SOME GAMES EARLIER AND SEEING THE PROGRESSION IS REALLY GREAT. AND SO I'M GRATEFUL TO OUR COACHES AND ADMINISTRATORS FOR SUPPORTING THOSE KINDS OF SUPPORTS, AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. ALRIGHT WELL, I ACTUALLY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO SEE THE HERBAL INTO HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION OF CLUE. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY GOT TO GO SEE IT, BUT IT WAS. I LOVE THAT MOVIE AND MIGHT PLAY THAT GAME WITH MY KIDS ALL THE TIME, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY PHENOMENAL. WE HAD A GOOD TIME TOOK THE KIDS AND JUST SEEING THE THEATER BE A PLACE WHERE KIDS CAN ACTUALLY USE THEIR GIFTS IN OUR DISTRICT IS GREAT. IN LINE WITH SEEING KIDS GIFTS.

I ALSO WENT TO THE JAZZ BREAKFAST AT ELDORADO, WHICH ELDORADO EVER SINCE I WAS IN THE BAND IN JUNIOR HIGH MYSELF. ELDORADO WAS ALWAYS THE BAND THAT YOU ASPIRED TO BE IN LIKE I WAS A DRUMMER. AND SO WATCHING, EVEN WATCHING THE JAZZ DRUMMERS AT THE BREAKFAST. IT WAS LIKE, YEAH, THEY'RE STILL GOOD. THIS IS THIS IS REALLY EXCITING. UM, SO THAT WAS THAT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE KIDS IN THEIR ELEMENT AND THE PARENT HELPERS. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE THINGS AT YOUR SCHOOLS. BUT WHEN THE PARENTS ARE INVOLVED, WHICH THE BAND PARENTS ARE AT ELDORADO, THEY JUST DO SUCH A GREAT JOB AND GO OVER THE TOP TO ACCOMMODATE ANYBODY. THAT'S IN ATTENDANCE. AND IT WAS. I HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS, AND THEY JUST THEY LOVE THE PROGRAM AND THEY LOVE THEIR KIDS. AND THEY LOVE SEEING THEM SUCCEED. AND JUST I LOVE THAT THIS DISTRICT REALLY SUPPORTS STUDENTS IN WHAT IT IS THAT THEY DO WELL, AND THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S SO GREAT AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, IN THE BREAK, I WENT TO THE ESPERANZA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL. TOURNAMENT DOWN IN ELSINORE. IT WAS A LONG DRIVE EVERY DAY, BUT WE CAME BACK VICTORIOUS. WE WERE CHAMPIONS. THAT'S A SECOND ACTUAL CHAMPIONSHIP THAT THE GIRLS HAVE ONE. YEAH, GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. ABSOLUTELY SO THEY'RE HAVING A GREAT SEASON. IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT AND THEN BEYOND THAT, I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH A FEW TEACHERS AND PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SOME CURRICULUM ITEMS AND TRYING TO GET AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS POSSIBLE. AS TO WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IT'S BEEN SAID IN PUBLIC COMMENT MANY TIMES, AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT, UH, THE CLASSROOM AND THE STUDENTS ARE THE WHY OF THE DISTRICT AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO GOES BACK TO THE STUDENTS AND SUPPORTING THEM AND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN THE CLASSROOM, AND THEN AFTER THEY LEAVE OUR DISTRICT, SO I'M JUST , UH, EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF THAT AND LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW WE AS A BOARD CAN HELP SUPPORT THE STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS AND THE ADMINISTRATION AS WE GO FORWARD, SO THAT'S IT. MHM.

HELLO EVERYONE. UM SO I ALSO WAS ABLE TO GO AND SEE CLUE AT THE BERLIN HIGH SCHOOL THEATER, AND IT WAS GREAT AND MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN THEY ALL GOT INTO THE BIG GROUP AND THEY RAN AT THE FRONT. I WAS JUST I WAS DYING HIS LEGACY IN THE BACK BECAUSE I WAS JUST LAUGHING SO HARD. IT WAS SUCH A GOOD PLAY. THAT IS SUCH A GOOD JOB TOOK THE WHOLE FAMILY. EVERYBODY LOVED IT. UM ALSO, I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO TRAVIS RANCH FOR THE MATILDA PLAYED IT THEY PUT ON LAST WEEK AT THE PACK. AMAZING, AMAZING JOB. UM I WAS ABLE TO GO SEE THE ESPERANZA ORCHESTRA PERFORMANCE. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT, AND THEIR MUSIC WAS FABULOUS. I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY OUR MUSICIANS AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING. IT WAS JUST A REALLY GREAT PERFORMANCE AND THE MUSIC THAT THEY'RE PLAYING, YOU KNOW, I LISTENED TO A LOT OF CLASSICAL MUSIC, SOMETIMES IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE JUST THEY WERE KILLING IT.

THEY WERE DOING LIKE REALLY POPULAR SONGS. I HAD ONE OF MY KIDS WITH ME, AND HE EVEN SAID MOM, THEY TOTALLY KILLED IT TONIGHT. SO REALLY, REALLY HUGE PROPS TO THEM. I ALSO WENT TO THE ELDORADO JAZZ CONCERT BREAKFAST. UM AND WHOEVER MADE THE CHILI RENO EGG BAKE THAT WAS AMAZING. UM ALONG WITH THE AMAZING FOOD, SO PLEASE, PLEASE INVITE ME BACK NEXT YEAR. UM WE OKAY? SO I'VE ALSO BEEN TO SEVERAL WRESTLING TOURNAMENTS WHERE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE ALL

[01:05:02]

THIS IS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US AS A BOARD TO SUPPORT A RUSHED FINISHED DATE FOR THIS AND BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO WHEN YOU GO TO ALL THESE PLACES, RIGHT, YOU SEE VALENCIA'S PERFORMING ELDORADO PERFORMING AND YOUR BLENDS PERFORMING AND A LOT OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN THEATERS.

AND I MEAN YOU'RE BELINDA. BOOM. THEY'RE KILLING IT. THEY'RE BRINGING OUT ALL KINDS OF PLAYS, YOU KNOW, ALMOST MONTHLY. AND SO ESPERANZA HAS NOT HAD A THEATER. UM OR WORKING THEATER. I SHOULD SAY IN A FEW YEARS, AND SO I KNOW THAT THE BOOSTERS HAVE REALLY BEEN WORKING HARD TO GET THIS THEATER GOING. AND SO THE REASON I'M ASKING IF WE CAN POSSIBLY EXPEDITE THE THEATER IS BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY MEANINGFUL FOR OUR SENIORS TO HAVE A THEATER THAT THEY CAN PERFORM IN ON THEIR WAY OUT. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT FOR THE BOOSTER PARENTS TO HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD AND DOING ALL OF THESE, UM, SUPPORTS UM AND JUST REALLY, TO TRY TO GET BACK TO THAT, SO IF WE CAN DO ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO GET THIS DONE BY THIS SUMMER, UM, I THINK WE SHOULD DO SO BECAUSE I THINK WE OWE IT TO OUR FAMILIES AND OUR STUDENTS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ATTENDING THE SNOW DAY AT TRAVIS RANCH NEXT WEEK. UM WITH THIS WEATHER WE'RE HAVING. I THINK WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SNOW MELTING OF IT. MAYBE WE'LL ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE MAYBE WE'RE BACK. EAST. UM AND SO THAT IS FABULOUS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT HAS HAD A SNOW DAY. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXCITED. I'M EXCITING TO SEE AND I'M SURE THE KIDS, UM ARE JUST GONNA HAVE A BLAST. I ASKED ALSO HAVE TOURED THE ESPERANZA MANUFACTURING PROGRAM BECAUSE I HEARD THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY HAVING TO TURN STUDENTS AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS SO POPULAR AND IT IS HIGHLY HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. SO I WENT IN AND ASKED, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU GROW YOUR PROGRAM SO WE CAN ACCEPT MORE STUDENTS. AND SO ONE THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IS POSSIBLY HAVING ANOTHER TEACHER ON STAFF WITH HIM, SO THE CLASSES BECAUSE IT'S ONLY HIM RIGHT NOW TEACHING AND SO HE HAS, YOU KNOW THE BEGINNING. HE HAS METAL. HE HAS HAS ALL THESE DIFFERENT LEVELS, BUT HE CAN'T DO IT ON HIS OWN. SO IF HE HAD AN ADDITIONAL TEACHER, HE COULD HAVE SOME HELP. AND SO WE WOULDN'T BE TURNING AWAY STUDENTS, BUT WE COULD ACTUALLY BE ACCEPTING MORE. AND SO YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME OTHER THINGS YOU KNOW. HE WANTS A COUPLE OF STORIES HE WANTS TO TAKE OVER WEST CAMPUS. AND I SAID, MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE WE COULD DO A TEACHER. AH SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE STARTING SMALL WITH THAT, BUT I JUST KNOW THAT IF WE'RE TURNING STUDENTS AWAY, THIS IS SUCH A I MEAN THAT THAT'S A BIG DEAL, AND THEIR THEIR FACILITY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND I JUST I THINK THAT WE SHOULD DO WHATEVER WE CAN, BECAUSE THAT'S BRINGING KIDS INTO OUR DISTRICT. MM SO, UM, I ALSO TO WAS TALKING TO I TALKED TO A LABOR NEGOTIATOR. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW, UM UNION NEGOTIATIONS ARE AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN I WAS THROWING AROUND. UM POSSIBLY, UM , MAKE BRING IT FORWARD THE BOARD. DO WE HAVE LABOR NEGOTIATOR ASSIST WITH OUR BARGAINING WITH THE UNION EVERYWHERE FOR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF. UM AND THAT WAS SOME INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS AND, UM A LOT OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES GO IN, AND YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE BARGAINING THAT GOES ON BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE WE'RE SUNSHINY. WE'RE ALWAYS BARGAINING WITH SOMETHING. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, POSSIBLY BRING SOMEONE TO NEGOTIATE AND ASSIST OR MAYBE NOT AT ALL, BUT I LEFT THE CONVERSATION A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN THE BARGAINING UNITS. UM I TALKED TO SOME PARENTS ABOUT I READY. THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THEIR STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE 45 MINUTES A MATH AND 45 MINUTES OF READING EACH WEEK OR THEY ARE GOING TO BE LOSING THEIR RECESS. AND SO MY QUESTION WAS IS WE KEEP SAYING THAT THIS IS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL. AND SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE'RE ASKING STUDENTS TO LOG INTO I READY AT HOME TO COMPLETE THIS WORK. IS THIS ACTUALLY STILL BEING USED AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL? UM I ALSO WAS LOOKING AT OUR UM, AT OUR SCORES FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS, AND I THINK EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT AND I DON'T I THINK IT'S ANYTHING THAT WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF. AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME TEACHERS WHO ARE TEACHERS FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS, AND I WAS PICKING THEIR BRAIN AND, UM, LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND ASKING THE TEACHERS WHAT EVERYBODY IS DOING DIFFERENTLY. AND I KNOW THAT, UM WE DO NOT HAVE A DIRECTOR OF ENGLISH LEARNERS AT THIS TIME, BUT IT'S ONE THING THAT I HAVE SUGGESTED TO STAFF.

I HAVEN'T MENTIONED IT TO ANYBODY HERE. BUT LIKE I SAID, COMING OUT OF MEETINGS, AND

[01:10:03]

[01:15:13]

I'VE ASKED FOR A GRADING GUIDELINES. AS I'VE SPOKEN BEFORE. IN THE PAST MEETINGS, I SAID, I WANT EQUITABLE GRADING GUIDELINES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. SO I'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT AND POSSIBLY PUTTING THAT IN THE EL CAP. AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU GUYS THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN IN MEETINGS FOR. UM I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL GO IN THE CABINET OF THE BOARD WILL PROVE IT. BUT THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR BECAUSE PARENTS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, UM, THIS IS WELL. UM I'VE TALKED AGAIN ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF I READY AND IN PLACE OF THAT COMMON ASSESSMENTS AND EVERY GRADE LEVEL ACROSS THE CORE FIVE, WHICH IS ENGLISH, MATH, HISTORY, SCIENCE AND WORLD LANGUAGES. I'VE ASKED FOR PACING GUIDES FOR ALL LEVELS. I'VE ASKED FOR MORE FUNDING FOR OUR SPORTS ARTS AND OUR THEATER PROGRAMS, WHICH IS NOTHING NEW.

UM I'VE ASKED TO HIRE CONSULTANTS IN THE AREA OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION RELATED TO LITERACY, LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, MATH AND INCLUSION FOR STUDENTS WITH AN I E P I WAS VISITING WITH SOME TEACHERS AND THEY ACTUALLY THEY WEREN'T IN THIS DISTRICT. THEY WERE IN A DIFFERENT DISTRICT. BUT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. THEY HAVE PERMANENT SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS AT THEIR SCHOOLS. AND WHEN A TEACHER DOESN'T CALL IN SICK AND THEY'RE NOT NEEDED, WHAT THEY ARE USED AS THEY'RE USED AS INTERVENTION SPECIALISTS. AND SO WHAT THEY DO IF THEY'RE NOT SUBSTITUTING IN THE CLASSROOM, IS THEY GO IN, AND THEY DO INTERVENTION FOR THAT AS KIDS IN READING AND MATH, AND SO THEY CAN HIT POSSIBLY 56 CLASSROOMS A DAY? AND SO I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS AN INTERESTING CONCEPT. I WASN'T QUITE SURE IF WE'VE USED IT HERE , BUT, UM, JUST SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, ESPECIALLY AT THE READING AND MATH SCORES NEEDING TO RISE. AND ALSO TOO I AM ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS TALKED ABOUT IT. BUT THIS WAS ALSO ON MY LIST TONIGHT, TOO, FOR THE EL CAP. I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT SINGLE STALL BATHROOMS UM, ART INSTALLED BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT WILL MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL SAFE AND SECURE AND IT'S IN. UM AND IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. PRIVACY IS GOOD. UM BUT I ALSO THINK, TOO. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD, UH WORK TO GO FORWARD TO SO, YEAH. SO IT WAS A BUSY MONTH. UM THERE WAS A LOT DONE AND I WAS ONLY GONNA READ HALF BUT OKAY? YOU GET. THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON IN THE PAST MONTH AND SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO EMAIL ME. TEXT ME MESSAGE ME. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FIND ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE THINKING BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I'M HERE TO DO. THANK YOU. WOW. OKAY AH, DEFINITELY NOT AS UH, AS MUCH AS, UH, MOST OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES HERE, BUT THIS IS A GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING SUCH A DIVERSE BOARD. YOU'RE GETTING ASPECTS FROM ALL OVER THE DISTRICT. AND I LOVE THAT. UM, FOR MYSELF. I HAVE, UH , DID A COUPLE OF SMALL THINGS WE I WENT TO AN ELDORADO BREAKFAST WITH DR MATTHEWS AND WE GOT TO SEE SOME, UM SOME KIDS PLAY SOME AMAZING MUSIC AND ENJOY A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, YOGURT AND GRANOLA. SO IT WAS THAT WAS VERY NICE. AND IT WAS KIND OF GREAT TO SEE YOU. ALSO. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UM GO BY THE ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL SHOWCASE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY AMAZING, UM, PRINCIPAL GUY ALSO WAS THERE AND LEAD A GREAT GROUP OF KIDS THAT ACTUALLY CAME UP AND SPOKE. AND JUST TALKED ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS THAT ESPERANZA WAS PUTTING OUT WHICH WAS TRULY A SIGHT TO SEE.

AND THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO GO AROUND AND ACTUALLY LOOK IN THE CLASSROOMS AND TALK TO THE TEACHERS THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON SOME OF THESE. I WENT OVER TO THE MEDICAL SECTION. I DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST WAS DRAWN OVER THERE JUST LIKE A LITTLE MOTH TO FLAME TYPE OF THING. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS. IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING IN ITSELF. UM AFTER WHICH I'VE BEEN, UM, BEEN FOCUSING ON GETTING A LITTLE MORE PREPARED IN THIS POSITION. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A PROGRAM FOR THE CALIFORNIA LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS SITE. IT'S A PART OF THE CALIFORNIA POLICY CENTER. THEY HAVE A LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IN WHICH I'M ATTENDING. AND LEARNING A LOT ABOUT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE DISTRICT, INCLUDING AH, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND THOSE THOSE AREAS AND SO JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE. WHEN WE START THROWING OUT SOME OF THESE NUMBERS AND STATISTICS AND JUST OTHER WAYS IN WHICH WE'RE GOING TO HELP IMPROVE THE

[01:20:05]

[GENERAL FUNCTIONS (Part 2 of 2)]

OKAY I HAVE A MOTION BY TRUSTEE BLADES IN THE SECOND BY TRUSTEE FRASER. LET ME TURN IT OVER TO DR MATTHEWS. AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD , TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE CABINET AS YOU ARE AWARE. IN DECEMBER, WE SHARED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS WITH, UM, UH, SUPERINTENDENT EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM SERVICES. WE GAVE THAT OUT TO TWO FRIENDS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BREAK, AND THE DEADLINE WAS ON MONDAY WHEN WE RETURNED JANUARY, 9TH. ONE FIRM HAS YOUNG A T AND ASSOCIATES TURNING PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE FOR SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SERVICES AS SUCH A CONTRACT TO MOVE FORWARD THEIR FURNITURE UNDER GENERAL FUNCTIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. IF APPROVED, WE WILL NOTIFY HASN'T YOUNGER MATEA AND BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SEARCHING FOR THE DISTRICT'S NEXT LEADER RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, SIR. ANY COMMENTS? I HAVE A COMMENT. UM I ASKED IF WE COULD GET THIS TO E S S AND LEADERSHIP AND ASSOCIATES AS WELL AND THERE WAS SOME HICCUP AND GETTING IT TO LEADERSHIP. UM AND THEY, UM, THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME BECAUSE OF OUR POSTING IN THE DELAY. UM E S S CHOSE NOT TO SUBMIT ANYTHING. BUT WHEN I GO BACK, SO WE'VE HAD THEM DO OUR SEARCHES IN THE PAST, LEADERSHIP AND ASSOCIATES HAS DONE UM, ONE WHEN WE HEARD DR PLUTKO E S S WE'VE USED A COUPLE OF TIMES, EVEN H Y A IS IN ONE OF OUR FROM 2016. WE HAVE A BID FROM THEM AS WELL. EACH OF THESE IS ALL AROUND BETWEEN $28,000 TO $29,000. AND THE H Y A IS AT $50,000. EVEN IN THEIR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL IN 2016, IT WAS THE 28,600 OR 500. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE HIGH. UM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ANY OTHER BIDS RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH . I AM BECAUSE LEADERSHIP THERE WAS A MIX UP IN THAT. I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THERE'S AT LEAST, UM, IF THERE'S ANY WILL OF THE BOARD TO DO THAT TO SAVE THE $20,000, BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SORT OF PROCESS, UM SO EITHER TABLE IT AND GET A BID FROM THEM AND LOOK AT THAT, EVEN IF WE NEEDED TO DO SOME SORT OF SPECIAL MEETING TO BE ABLE TO PICK BETWEEN THE TWO JUST SO WE HAVE A SECOND OPTION. OR GO BACK TO H Y AND ASKED FOR A REDUCTION IN THEIR RATE. IT'S JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE DON'T NEED TO SPEND A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. UM THE, UH, WE HAD A MISTAKE ON OUR PART AND HAS YOUNGER. EXCUSE ME.

LEADERSHIP ASSOCIATES DID NOT GET THE PROPOSALS THAT THEY THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, AND THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED NOT TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS SO, UM, WITH LOOKING AT THE $50,000. THAT IS WITH ALL OF IT WITH THE ADVERTISING THAT'S LIKE ALL INCLUSIVE. THERE'S LIKE THAT'S NOT JUST THE SEARCH FIRM. IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE INCLUDED, AND THEN ALSO TO I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO SAY THAT I THINK WE SHOULD GO UP TO THE, UM TO THE $100,000 OPTION OR UP TO YOU DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND THAT MUCH. IT'S JUST BASICALLY WHAT THE, UM YOU KNOW THAT IT COULD BE, BUT THEY ALSO GIVE YOU A UM, CONSULTING THING AFTER TO HELP WITH THE TRANSITION. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO US TO HAVE THE SUPPORTS IN BECAUSE YOU'RE BRINGING IN A NEW SUPERINTENDENT, AND THEN THEY CAN, UM THEY CAN CONSULT WITH THE BOARD. THEY CAN CONSULT THE NEW SERVICE SUPERINTENDENT AND KIND OF HELPED THE TRANSITION SMOOTH OVER AND SO, UM H Y. A IS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SEARCH FIRMS IN THE NATION AND SO I AM GOING TO BE VOTING US TONIGHT ON THIS.

[01:25:01]

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING POINT, MR FRASER. WE COULD CERTAINLY SAY NEGOTIATE UP TO $50,000. WE COULD DO THAT THAT WE CAN. WE CAN YES, TRUSTEE BUTTON WOULD LIKE TO TABLE IT AND GO BACK TO THEM AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY CAN COME BACK TO. I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THEY CAN BRING IT DOWN TO THE TO THE 30,000 RIGHT AROUND THERE LIKE THEY'VE SUBMITTED. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS FIRM AT ALL. UM, WE'VE EVEN GOTTEN, UM UH, IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD THEM SUBMIT.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT $20,000 FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK, I JUST HAVE A REALLY HARD TIME WHEN IT COULD BE UTILIZED IN A DIFFERENT WAY. Y IS A NATIONAL FIRM, AND THEY HAVE SOME GREAT CANDIDATES THAT THEY'VE THAT THEY'VE PLACED SO AS LEADERSHIP AND ASSOCIATES LEADERSHIP IS TENDS TO BE MORE CALIFORNIA BASED SO THAT COULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO US OR NOT,

[01:30:03]

UM, HE CAME FROM FLORIDA. AND SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A NATIONAL, UM. SUPERINTENDENTS BEFORE FROM DIFFERENT STATES. UM BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TO PUT THE TWO PROPOSALS TOGETHER TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST YOU KNOW, MAYBE LEADERSHIP IS NOT PROVIDING ALL THE SERVICES. AND SO THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE OF THE $20,000. WE DON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL WE LOOK AT IT. AND SO THAT'S WHY I THINK WE JUST, YOU KNOW. WE CAN MEET LATER THIS WEEK. OR EARLY NEXT WEEK AND SPECIAL BOARD MEETING AND JUST REVIEW THE TWO PACKETS. AND THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY AGENDA IZED ITEM. I PERSONALLY FEEL PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH THE H Y A UM. I BELIEVE WE ARE KIND OF IN A TIME CRUNCH. AS A DOCTOR. MATTHEWS WAS MENTIONING. SO, YEAH, SO THERE, SO WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD. I HAVE EMOTION. I HAVE A SECOND , LET'S GO AHEAD AND, BOAT ON THE SELECTION OF THE FIRM. ARE WE AMENDING THE IMPROVING UP TO 50,000? THAT'S A GREAT NUMBER.

YOU GET IT TO AGREE ON ON THAT EMOTION THAT THAT AMENDMENT, SO IS THAT AN ADDITIONAL VOTE? NO.

I MEAN, I THINK IF WE'RE AGREED THAT THE EMOTION ON THE FLOOR HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THAT, OKAY, GOTCHA. ALRIGHT SO THE JUST A SECOND FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY . I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT EVEN WITH THE AMENDMENT, I WILL BE VOTING. NO BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT GOES AGAINST OUR BOARD POLICIES. UM 33 10 30 TO 12 AND 33 24. I WANT AND I THINK ANOTHER DAY WHERE WE CAN. IT'S 24 HOUR NOTICE FOR SPECIAL BOARD MEETINGS ANOTHER DAY, JUST TO HAVE A COMPARE AND CONTRAST LOOK AND I'VE HEARD SEVERAL TRUSTEES UP HERE COMPLAIN ABOUT SPENDING $15,000 FOR A SCHOOL PROGRAM AND THINGS LIKE THIS, AND WE'RE TALKING $20,000. AND YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE TOTALLY MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED. AND. AND IF IT IS, THEN YOU KNOW, LET'S GO MOVE FORWARD. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SEARCH FIRM. AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICES. YOU KNOW, I READ THROUGH THE CONTRACT. WELL, I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO START GOING THAT ROUTE, THEN WHEN WE GET, UM, CONTRACTS UP HERE FOR $800,000 FRY READY WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALSO HAVE NOBODY IS GIVING US THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT THINGS FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS. WE GET ONE AND WE'VE ASKED FOR WHAT'S THE BACKUP? WE DON'T HAVE A BACKUP. YOU JUST NEED TO VOTE ON THIS.

SO IT'S IN THE SAME THING, SO EXACTLY WOULD HAVE TO GO ACROSS THE BOARD. AND SO WE'VE BEEN HANDLING BUSINESS THIS WAY. AND SO I'M I'M READY TO VOTE. IF I IF I MAY I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING BOARD POLICIES WITH REGARD TO BIDDING. I THINK THE QUESTION BEFORE HE WAS WHETHER YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THE OTHER FIRM. I THINK IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION. AND SO I AH, WELL ON THE BOARD'S DECISION ON THIS. PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD. I'M SORRY IN ALL FAIRNESS AS WELL. I WANT

[01:35:08]

BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE. SO I CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE VOTE FOR THEM. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. I. ALL THOSE AGAINST NO, NO. ALRIGHT SO THE MOTION CARRIES 32 WITH AN EYE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. WE WILL REACH OUT TO THEM TOMORROW AND BEGIN THIS PROCESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND COULD I CLARIFY YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE DOWN LOWER, OKAY? EMOTION. I NEED A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH HORROR BUCK OR BUCK AND HENDERSON LLP S ATTORNEY AT LAW FOR JANUARY.

18TH 2 JUNE 30TH 2023, AS ALSO AS AMENDED. AS PART OF THIS MOTION, I MOVED TO INCLUDE WITH IT DIRECTION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO TRANSFER ALL ACTIVE LITIGATION AND TRANSACTIONAL MATTERS CURRENTLY BEING HANDLED BY A CURRENT FIRM TO ORBACH, HUFF AND HENDERSON.

THEIR SECOND. ONE SECOND. OKAY. DR MATTHEWS. OKAY UM, SO ARE I'LL SPEAK ABOUT THE FIRM. FIRST OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRIBUTED OVER VARIETY OF LEGAL FRENCH LEGAL SERVICES IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

ORBACH HUFF AND HENDERSON IS A RESPECTED AND COMPETENT LEGAL FIRM THAT WORKS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER ENTITIES AND THEIR FEES FOR SERVICES ARE COMPETITIVE. UM WITH REGARD TO THE SECOND PART OF THE MOTION. I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE FROM THE LAW FIRM. I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW THEM. UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT SERVICES THEY CAN PROVIDE FOR US. I BELIEVE THAT OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE WE LEGALLY HANDLE ALL THE MATTERS OF THE DISTRICT AND, UH, UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO MEET THEM AND TALK ABOUT THEIR YOU KNOW WHAT THEY CAN OFFER US AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE SECOND PART OF THIS AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH. I DON'T KNOW. AND I THINK IT COULD BE PUTTING THE DISTRICT AT LEGAL RISK. UM IN TERMS OF TRANSITION , THAT COULD PERHAPS BE VERY MUCH BE THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME. BUT TO START DOING THAT TOMORROW WHEN MANY PROJECTS ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW LEGALLY WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO THE DISTRICT. OKAY, QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. WELL THERE NEED TO BE AN AMENDMENT FOR THE U PURE, PROPOSED IT IN AN AMENDED FASHION, SO THERE'S NO AMENDMENT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ALREADY HAPPENED. OKAY, UM. IN THE BOARD PACKET. IT SAYS THAT A BOARD MEMBER REQUESTED THIS LAW FIRM AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, WHICH BOARD MEMBER REQUESTED THIS LAW FIRM. UM, THAT WAS MISPLACED. THANK YOU AND THEN MRS BLADES IS THERE. ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN YOU AND THIS LAW FIRM. HAVE YOU UTILIZE THIS LAW FIRM BEFORE? AND HOW DID YOU COME ACROSS THEM? UM SO WHEN SOMEONE WAS SEEING HOW WE WERE BEING REPRESENTED BY TODD ROBBINS AND ATKINSON, THEY SAID THAT ORBACH HALF AND HENDERSON IS A BOARD IS REPRESENTS ABOUT 140. I THINK THE 200 SCHOOL BOARDS ACROSS CALIFORNIA, AND THEY SAID THAT WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY WORK FOR THE BOARD. AS OF RIGHT NOW, SOMETIMES IT FEELS THAT ATKINSON WORKS WITH, UM, THE DISTRICT AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF FREEDOM. AND THIS FIRM BELIEVES THAT THE BOARD ACTUALLY IS THE DISTRICT AND SO YOU ARE FREE TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THEM IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING WITH CODE AH, ANYTHING AT ALL.

AND SO, BASICALLY WHEN I ASKED THEM A LOT OF QUESTIONS, UM THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, WERE ABLE TO SIGHT READ CODE. UM AND THEY REPRESENT A LOT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ALSO IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AS WELL. UM THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT AS BIG AS ATKINSON IS, BUT THEY ARE REPUTABLE. UM AND THEY GAVE A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION AND SO DUE TO SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING WITH ATKINSON AND THEN ALSO SOME SURROUNDING ISSUES THAT ATKINSON HAS JUST HAD PROBABLY I WOULD SAY IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I THINK THAT MAKING A MOVE TO ORBACH AND HENDERSON WOULD BE A GREAT MOVE FOR THE DISTRICT. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO

[01:40:05]

AND SO I DON'T REALLY AND I'M SEEING AS WELL. UM ATKINSON'S ALSO BEEN OUT IN TEMECULA VALLEY . THEY REPRESENT THEIR DISTRICT AND SUDDENLY THEIR NEW BOARD MEMBERS HE'S BEEN STATING THAT THERE'S POSSIBLE BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS OUT THERE AS WELL. WHEN HE WASN'T EVEN INVOLVED IN THE MEETING. AND SO I JUST THINK THERE'S JUST A LOT OF, UM LOT OF ISSUES THAT ARE KIND OF SURROUNDING THEM. AND I THINK THAT A NEW LAW FIRM THERE ARE A LOT. I MEAN, IT'S A LAW FIRM.

THEY'RE REPUTABLE, AND WE DON'T HAVE THIS JUST BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WITH ATKINSON. SINCE 1985 DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO STAY WITH HIM FOREVER. COULD YOU GO INTO MORE EXPLANATION ABOUT THE DUE PROCESS THING? THAT YOU SAID THAT? YEAH ATKINSON WHEN YOU ARE ACCUSED OF SOMETHING RIGHT, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER AS TO WHAT YOUR WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT YOUR MENTALITY WAS? WHAT ALL THIS STUFF WAS. WE HAD DR L. SASSER AND TODD ROBBINS TALKING TO THE D A S OFFICE AND I NEVER GAVE THEM ANY TYPE OF AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR ME. IN FACT, I TOLD THEM BOTH THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME. AND SO WE WERE ACCUSED OF A POTENTIAL BROWN ACT VIOLATION WITHOUT EVER BEING INTERVIEWED. THAT IS A DUE PROCESS VIOLATION AND MY ATTORNEY SENT THAT OVER TO THE D A S OFFICE. AND SO I DON'T APPRECIATE ANY ATTORNEY WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING OUR BOARD AND OUR DISTRICT'S BEST INTEREST IF THEY CAN'T EVEN PROVIDE THEIR CLIENT WITH DUE PROCESS. AND I ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW SOME OTHER MATTERS WERE HANDLED BY ATKINSON DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THAT WAS IN THE BEST DISTRICT INTEREST OF OUR DISTRICT. AS WE CAN SEE THE MANY LAWSUITS THAT HAVE PILED UP BECAUSE OF IT. AND SO I DON'T HAVE FAITH IN THEM ANY LONGER.

AND THEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY. YEAH I THINK YOU KNOW MY STANCE ON IT. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO NO INVESTIGATION DONE WITH MY OWN ACCUSATION OF A BROWN ACT VIOLATION, SO UM, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THEM AS WELL. JUST JUST SO. I'M CLEAR ON THIS, TOO. I DON'T THINK YEAH, ACTION.

NELSON WAS EVEN ASKED ABOUT EITHER OF YOU. THEY WERE THEY WERE I WE TALK. TODD ROBBINS TOLD US EXACTLY AND WE KNOW THAT WE WERE NEVER ASKED AND THAT THE PAST SUPERINTENDENT AND TODD ROBBINS FOR THE ONES TALKING TO THEM. WE WERE NEVER SPOKEN TO. I MEAN, IN ALL OF MY INTERACTIONS WITH THE FIRM. THEY DID NOT SAY THEY WERE ASKED ABOUT YOU. ASKED ABOUT THE MEETINGS MASTER WAS HERE. CORRECT. AND THE OTHER OTHER ISSUE I HAD WITH THAT IS I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT, UM DR L.

SASSER WAS, UH, WAS BROUGHT IN BY E S S. AND IF YOU LOOK ON THE E S S WEBSITE, THEY ARE UNDERNEATH THE A. L. R R OR ATKINSON. THEY ARE PART OF THAT THAT LAW FIRM. IT DOESN'T MATTER. THERE'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY A VIOLATION FOR HIM TO BE HIRED. UM THROUGH THROUGH THAT, THAT WHOLE PROCESS . SO UH, THAT ALSO KIND OF BEING THE, UM, THE BELL FOR ME, AT LEAST FOR ATKINSON. I DISAGREE. THAT'S A VIOLATION. IT SEEMS TO ME WITH. WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS, UM, WILL BE TERMINATING. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT WILL BE TERMINATING A L. R ARE BASED ON THE INTEREST OF THE CONVERSATION. UM I THINK THAT WE HAVE HAD GOOD REPRESENTATION BY A L R R. I THINK THAT DROPPING THEM, UM, WITHOUT INVESTIGATING THIS, THIS PARTICULAR, UM, FIRM AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY CAN DO ALL OF UM, THE WORK THAT WE NEED THEM TO DO, ESPECIALLY IN A IN A QUICK TURNAROUND LIKE THIS IS A RESPONSIBLE. I'M GOING TO VOTE.

NO. HOW MANY IF WE WERE TO TURN EVERYTHING OVER TOMORROW. HOW MANY? CASES LIKE I MEAN, WHAT

[01:45:03]

AND SO THEY DID THEIR FULL INVESTIGATION. AND IF I'M WRONG, SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME WITHOUT CONTACTING ANYBODY AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE. SO THAT'S INCORRECT BECAUSE MYSELF AND SEAN BOTH TALKED, AND THEY BOTH IT WAS TODD ROBBINS, AND IT WAS ALSO FASTER. AND THEY WERE DOING ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION FOR US. SO I JUST WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT AND JUST TO BE CLEAR TO WE USE SEVERAL LEGAL FIRMS IN THE DISTRICT. NO ESPECIALLY USES OTHER FIRMS,

[01:50:01]

IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT I CAN FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU. AND ALSO TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER LAW FIRMS DO WE HAVE WORKING FOR US? THAT WOULD BE CURIOUS BECAUSE SURE THE ONLY AGREEMENT THAT I'M THAT I HAVE HOLD OF IS THE L. R. YEAH. OKAY SO SHOULD AMEND THE MOTION AGAIN AND STATE THAT WE WILL APPROVE THE AGREEMENT. ORBACH HEAVEN HENDERSON LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW JANUARY. 18TH 2 JUNE 30TH 2023. AND ALSO. THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE OUR BOARD WITH LEGAL SERVICES, AND THERE IS A CONTRACT ANY TYPE OF NEGOTIATIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

WOULD THAT BE A AND ON OTHER MATTERS ON OTHER MATTERS, BUT I THINK SPECIFICALLY IF SOMETHING ARISES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS HMM. WANT TO HAVE TODD ROBBINS OR DO WE WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE FROM OR MAYBE ALL ALL FUTURE FUTURE BOARD MATTERS BOARD MATTERS. THAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE. I MEAN, AND I CAN FUTURE BOARD MATTERS AND IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, CAN'T WE CHANGE IT LATER? CHANGE. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE IT. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT IS. IF WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE WE CAN, RIGHT. SO WHAT? WHAT IS THE MOTION NOW? THE MOTION WOULD BE APPROVED THE AGREEMENT OR BLOCK HEAVEN. HENDERSON LLP. ATTORNEYS AT LAW UM. FOR JANUARY 18TH JUNE 30TH 2023 ALSO, UM, THEY WOULD DEAL WITH ALL BOARD MATTERS. THAT WOULD BE THE FACILITIES AND ALL BOARD MATTERS. OH, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY CAN WE TABLE IT UNTIL WE'VE HAD MORE DUE DILIGENCE? BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND RESEARCHING RESEARCHING WHAT I BELIEVE, HE TOLD THE SERVICES.

YOU KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY PROVIDE ALL THE SERVICES AND WE KNOW THEY PROVIDE BOARD SUPPORT AND HE FACILITIES AND THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD. SO JUST WITH THE FACILITIES EVERYBODY WAS FINE WITH THAT. SO WE'RE JUST ADDING, UM, BOARD SUPPORT, RIGHT? AND I'M JUST I'M JUST SAYING. LET'S DO SOME DUE DILIGENCE. LET'S REACH OUT TO THE LAW FIRM. LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN. WE'RE A BIG DISTRICT, SO WE HAVE LOTS OF SPOKE WITH HIM PERSONALLY, AND THEY CAN DO IT. OKAY I'M JUST SAYING, LET'S JUST DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND LET DR MATTHEWS AND HIS STAFF DR GIORDANO. YOU KNOW, DO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH. BECAUSE I THINK. IT WOULD JUST BE REALLY GOOD TO RESEARCH THAT AND KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEY CAN HANDLE OUR DISTRICT SIZE AND OUR SCOPE OF PROJECTS. SO WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON? READY TO VOTE ON THE MOTION? THE EMOTIONS I HAVE.

IT IS THE SAME MOTION EXCEPT SISTER ALSO TO DEAL WITH ALL BOARD MATTERS. OKAY? THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE. OKAY YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE, UH ONE SO THE AMENDED AGENDA WE ALREADY HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDED AGENDA BY. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? NO, NO. SO WE HAVE A WE. THE MOTION PASSES 32 WITH A NOTE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT LIKE HE DID? OKAY? LET'S MOVE ON TO NUMBER FOUR. I NEED EMOTION.

COULD WE PUT IT IN THE POLICY THAT WE WON'T HAVE LIVE MONITORING? AND THIS. IS THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M DOING IT IS IT'S A SECURITY THING. WE HAVE STUDENTS. YOU KNOW, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE IT IN A LOCKDOWN FACILITY AND YOU WOULD HAVE STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND THAT THAT STUFF SHOULD BE KEPT PRIVATE, AND I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S A PRIVACY THING. IT'S PUBLIC AREAS. CORRECT AND HAVEN'T YOU SEEN EVERYBODY GATHERED ON THE PHONE WATCHING SOMETHING YOU KNOW, BEING AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA, BUT HAVING A BANK OF MONITORS. IF WE HAD SECURITY STAFF, I THINK, PUTTING IT IN THE POLICY TO SAY WE WILL NEVER DO. THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.

WELL, I THINK IT'S SOMETHING TO PUT IN THERE FOR NOW, UNTIL YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE. STORAGE, DAPH.

AND PERSONNEL TO MONITOR IT. I MEAN, THAT'S NOT THE THAT'S NOT THE INTENT OF THIS, UM, BOARD POLICY. THE BOARD POLICIES FOR SECURITY IF IT'S INCIDENTS COME UP SO THAT IT CAN BE REVIEWED.

BUT LET'S LOOK AT WHAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IS IF YOU DO NEED TO WATCH SOMETHING IN REAL TIME BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL SITUATION KICKING OFF. WHAT IF YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE SHOOTER? YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO WATCH THESE CAMERAS AND TO SEE AND YOU WOULD NEED TO SEE WHERE PEOPLE ARE IF YOU HAVE A FIGHT IF YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF INCIDENT HAPPENING ON THE CAMPUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH A CAMERA IN LIFE UH, UM, LIFETIME. I THINK IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE. HAVING THAT MONITORED AS FAR AS WHO CAN DO THAT AND WHEN, OF COURSE, BUT I THINK THAT TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT TO LIFE, I MEAN, THAT IS AN INVALUABLE BUT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S AN INVALUABLE TOOL TO BE ABLE TO WATCH. THINGS HAPPEN. LIVE ESPECIALLY, UM, IF SOMETHING ACTUALLY SUPER SERIOUS HAPPENS. I COULD SEE THE PURPOSE OF WATCHING IT LIKE IF AN INCIDENT IS HAPPENING, BUT JUST TO HAVE IT ON AND VISUAL. YOU KNOW, IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THE POLICY. I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT, BECAUSE WHY? WHY HAVE I MEAN? WHY HAVE THEM IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO REVIEW IT, YOU CAN BE PROACTIVE WITH THESE CAMERAS. I MEAN, THERE'S THERE ARE WAYS TO BE PROACTIVE WITH IT, AND I THINK WE SHOULD UTILIZE THEM THEIR SECURITY SECURITY, SO I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE DO IS IDENTIFY WHO'S ABLE TO SEE THE VIDEO AND FOR IDENTIFYING THAT AND THE REASONS WHY THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT. IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SITTING THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE ON BREAK. UM BUT NOT IN THE QUAD. YEAH, NOT JUST HANGING OUT THERE OFF. YEAH TAKING LUNCH, SO THEY'LL JUST GO WATCH THAT FOR FUN BUT KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHO IS GOING TO WATCH IT AND WHY, IF THERE'S A SPECIFIC INCIDENT COMING UP, THEN YOU KNOW WHO'S THE ONE THAT'S TAPPED TO DO THAT? AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD PUT IN A POLICY LIKE THIS, OR IS THERE SOME OTHER DOCUMENT THAT WE REFER TO FOR THAT? SO TYPICALLY, WE PUT THAT IN ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, UM AND THAT'S WHERE WE INTEND TO HAVE IT. WE ALREADY HAVE. A DRAFT OF THAT AS WELL. AND I'M SURE WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT HAVING A BUNCH OF STUDENTS WATCHING LIVE FEED. I'M SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO ACCESS THIS IMPOSSIBLY POLICE OFFICERS AND PERSONNEL AT THIS TIME. WE DON'T HAVE STAFF TO WATCH A LIVE FEED, ABSENT SOME SORT OF EXTRAORDINARY, SIMPLE CIRCUMSTANCES. IF WE HAVE AN INCIDENT HAPPENING, WE'RE OUT THERE DEALING WITH ITS STAFF.

POLICE HAVE AN INSTANT THEY'RE MEAN, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ALL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES IS THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE COMING IN, UM AND SO THEY'RE NOT GONNA GO LOOK AT A VIDEO CAMERA.

THEY'RE COMING IN. YEAH I THINK IT'S A TWO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO SEE. UM LIFE FEED. IF IT'S A STATIC SITUATION, THERE SHOULD BE ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL LOOKING AT THAT AT ALL. IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THEN THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT MATTER. AND THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DRAWN UP BASED UPON THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK. I THINK WE

[02:05:02]

THEY'RE DOING IT RIGHT? BECAUSE I WANT SOMEONE ASSURING US THAT OUR POLICIES ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. IF IT WAS A DISTRICT THAT'S ALREADY HAD AN ISSUE, MAYBE ACTIVE SHOOTER OR SOMETHING. I'M SURE THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED POLICIES THAT ARE PROBABLY PRETTY SHORT UP. WELL WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING WE COULD? I THINK THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. BUT I THINK AGAIN , IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND OUR POLICY IS FOUND NOT IN COMPLIANCE. AND THEY ASKED US HOW WE DEVELOPED IT, AND WE SAY, WELL, WE LOOKED AT THEIR DISTRICT AND COPIED THAT. THAT'S JUST NOT A GOOD REASON. I MEAN, YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY WE RESEARCHED IT. WE ANALYZED IT.

WE LOOKED AT OUR AND THE LAW AND YOU WANT A GOOD ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. DO WE HAVE ANY REASON TO THINK THAT THIS ISN'T A GOOD THIS IS UNDERSTAND WHY WE KEEP ASKING THIS QUESTION. THIS IS WE BELIEVE THIS IS GREAT. I MEAN, THIS IS VERIFIED BY GAMUT. WE THIS IS A GREAT POLICY, OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND ALREADY, UM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR BY ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

ALRIGHT. THE MOTION CARRIES FIVE PLUS OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. OKAY I'M MOVE ON. IF THAT'S OKAY

IF YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU, AND GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SUPERINTENDENT MATTHEWS, EXECUTIVE CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING. A SUMMARY OF PLACENTA O. BELINDA'S PLAN FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF THE FANS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM.

OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ELOPED. EUROPE IS CALIFORNIA'S RESPONSE TO THE INCREASING NEED FOR AFTER SCHOOL CARE FOR A GROWING NUMBER OF LOW INCOME FAMILIES ACROSS THE STATE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO NOT ONLY FIND BUT ALSO A FORWARD AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR WORKING SCHEDULES. IT IS INTENDED TO HELP ACCELERATE STUDENT LEARNING AND RESTORE THEIR WELL BEING THROUGH INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH THEIR PEERS AND BUILD SOCIAL SKILLS WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING STRUGGLING PARENTS AND GUARDIANS AND PROVIDING FOR THEIR FAMILIES BY KEEPING THEIR CHILDREN SAFE AND ENGAGED AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY ENDS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ONGOING FUNDING. WE'RE PRESENTING A PROPOSED PLAN FOR YOUR APPROVAL THIS EVENING. THE PLAN DETAILS HOW WE INTEND TO UTILIZE THE ASSOCIATED FANS TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS OF HIGHEST NEED THROUGH THE OFFERINGS OF BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS, WHICH MEET THE EXTENSIVE ELOP GUIDELINES. IT'S AN EXCITING PROSPECT, WHICH WE APPROACH IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS OF HIGHEST NEED. FOR YOUR APPROVAL. WE'VE PROVIDED EACH OF YOU WITH A COPY OF THE PROPOSED PLAN. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THE PROPOSED EXAMPLES PROVIDED IN THE PLAN OR

[02:15:01]

WE RECEIVED $9.7 MILLION AND LATER SLIDES. WE WILL PRESENT HOW THE MONEY WILL BE ALLOCATED TO MEET THE ELOPED REQUIREMENTS. IN SHORT, ELOP IS A WIN WIN FOR OUR SCHOLARS, OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR DISTRICT. ELOP WILL PROVIDE ACCESS ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE AFTER SCHOOL AND INTER SESSIONAL EXPANDING LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR ALL T K SIX UNDER UN DUPLICATED PEOPLE'S. THAT'S OUR LOW INCOME STUDENTS. FOSTER YOUTH. ENGLISH LEARNERS FROM THIS POINT ON THE PRESENTATION UNDER PLACATED PEOPLES WILL BE REFERENCED AS UPS. IT REQUIRES THAT ALL ACTIVITIES MUST BE DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT NOT REPLICATE THE ACTIVITIES. THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE. DURING THE SCHOOL REGULAR SCHOOL DAY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MANDATES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAM. FOR EXAMPLE, DISTRICTS MUST OFFER NO LESS THAN NINE HOURS A DAY THAT INCLUDES BOTH ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION AND AN AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. SERVICES MUST BE OFFERED TO 50% OF OUR DISTRICTS UPS CURRENTLY ABOUT 10% OF OUR UPS ARE ROLLED IN OUR EXPANDED LEARNING FEED BASED PROGRAMS. ANOTHER 10% ARE ENROLLED IN OUR AFTER SCHOOL EDUCATION AND SAFETY PROGRAM KNOWN AS ACES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THESE ACES PROGRAMS AT OUR TITLE, ONE SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION , IN ADDITION, STAFFING RATIOS FOR GRADES ONE THROUGH SIX MUST BE AT 20 TO 1. AND T K KINDERGARTEN RATIO OF 10 TO 1 AGAIN. THESE RATIOS ONLY APPLY.

BEFORE. AND AFTER SCHOOL AND DURING INTERCESSION MONTHS FINALLY, ELLEN MUST OPERATE AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS OUTSIDE THE REGULAR INSTRUCTIONAL. CALENDAR. AND ACCORDING TO ELOPE REQUIREMENTS, ANY FEES REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN AN AFTER SCHOOL. EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAM CANNOT BE CHARGED TO ANY DUPLICATED PEOPLE'S, HOWEVER, MAY BE CHARGED FOR OTHERS, STUDENT GROUPS. NEXT I WILL SHARE A SUMMARY OF THE ACTIONS AND PROGRAMS L PROPOSALS TO IMPLEMENT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. FIRST. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE CURRENTLY HAVE OUR BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAMS AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. OUR GOAL, THEREFORE , IS TO INCREASE THE ENROLLMENT TO INCLUDE MORE UPS STUDENTS TO MEET THE 50% REQUIREMENT. SECOND WE PLAN TO EXPAND ASIS PROGRAM AT OUR TITLE, ONE SCHOOLS BY INCREASING ENROLLMENT IN OFFERING THE SAME QUALITY ENRICHMENT L'AQUILA FUND.

THIRDLY AS WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WE WILL WORK WITH OUTSIDE VENDORS TO EXTEND AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AFTER SCHOOL IN MICHIGAN ACTIVITIES.

FOURTH WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WINTER AND SPRING INTERCESSIONS AND OUR REGULAR

[02:20:02]

ALSO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE OR PROPOSED REJECTIONS WE DID WERE DETERMINED BY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE MUST OFFER THE PROGRAM TO 50% OF A U . P STUDENTS. THIS WILL INCREASE OUR ENROLLMENT SIGNIFICANTLY AND WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL COST. ADDITIONAL COSTS, SUCH AS STAFFING TO MEET THE 22 1 INTENDED ONE STUDENT RACIAL REQUIREMENTS, THUS REQUIRING INCREASING OF WORK HOURS AND ADDING HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS FOR STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK FULL TIME. IN ADDITION TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDING SAFETY AND WELLNESS WHERE, INCLUDING OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO HELP SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS TO POSITIVE BEHAVIOR, INTERVENTION SUPPORT P B. I S IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE. OTHER COST FACTORS MUST BE INCLUDED TO PROPERLY OPERATE A HIGH QUALITY PROGRAM. SUCH AS FACILITIES, HEALTHY SNACKS, MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES. ALSO IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR ACES PROGRAM AT ALL ARE TAUGHT AT ONE SITES. THERE IS A HIGH NEED FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AT THESE LOCATIONS ARE PLAN WILL HELP OPEN MORE SPOTS TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT ALONG WITH HIRING HIGH QUALITY STAFF. LAST WE KNOW WE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL. RICHMOND'S SUCH AS SOCCER BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL CLINICS, DANCE ACADEMIES AND THE ARTS AND OTHER HIGH QUALITY ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS . THEY WILL ADD MUCH VALUE TO A SCHOLAR'S EXPERIENCE IN OUR SCHOOL. MENTIONED IN THE EARLIER SLIDES REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENTS IS TO OFFER A NINE HOUR DAILY PROGRAM FOR NO LESS THAN A TOTAL OF 30 DAYS ON NON INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS. ON THIS SLIDE. OUR TEAM PROJECTED THE COST TO OPERATE A SUMMER WINTER AND SPRING PROGRAM AT SEVERAL OF OUR SITES. LAST WITH THE INCREASE IN STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND STAFFING. WE DETERMINED A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT STAFF TO HELP OVERSEE THE $13.1 MILLION AND SUPPORT THE ADDITIONAL INCREASE IN HIRING AND MANAGING STAFF AT OUR EXPANDED LEARNING AND ACES SITES AS WELL AS OUR SUMMER WINTER AND SPRING PROGRAMS. ELOP IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. FOR OUR DISTRICT. COLLECTIVELY WE ALL HAVE A PART IN DELIVERING THE BEST AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN ORANGE COUNTY. THE FUNDING IS HERE. THE OPPORTUNITY TO POSITIVE POSITIVELY IMPACT 5500 OF THE HIGHEST NEED T CASE. SIX SCHOLARS IS HERE NOW AGAINST SUPPORTING OUR LOW INCOME FOSTER YOUTH AND ENGLISH LEARNERS.

HOWEVER. ELOP WILL SUPPORT ALL OUR SCHOLARS. THEY WILL ALL BENEFIT FROM THESE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS, ACADEMIC SUPPORT ALONG WITH SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS. TRUSTEES. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN THE GREAT WEEK WORK WE CONTINUE TO DO AS WE PREPARE TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROGRAMS AND NEXT STEPS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR POINTS OF CLARIFICATIONS. YOU MAY HAVE EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT COMMENTS. CONCERNS. OKAY, AS I'M REVIEWING THE BUDGET, UM I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING, UM CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES FOR LIKE A SOME THE SUMMER SPRING. I GET THAT THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, BUT LIKE IN THE SUMMER, NINE HOURS A DAY AND IN THE SPRING SESSIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OFFERED, ARE WE GOING TO BE USING TO DEFECATED STAFF RIGHT ON OUR PLANET FOR IT'S CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED STAFF . OH OKAY. YES, OKAY. I THINK I'M GETTING THE TWO CAN I JUST ADD TO THAT IF WE YOU KNOW WHAT KNOW, AT THIS POINT, WE'VEOUR INTENDED TO DO MORE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS, BUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PASTURING SUMMARIES OFFER ACTUAL INSTRUCTION. AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN YES, WE WOULD USE THAT TO ACTUALLY PAY CERTIFICATED STAFF, SO THAT WOULD BE OUR TEACHERS FOR TUTORING AND INSTRUCTION SUPPORT. I SEE THIS, AS YOU KNOW , EXTENDED LEARNING AND BUILDING IN THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP AND I THINK ARE CERTIFICATED STAFF WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LONG SUMMER.

[02:25:03]

SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GONNA BECAUSE OF THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF VARIETY AND A WIDE OPTION. YOU KNOW, BEFORE. I THINK, YOU KNOW , WE'RE KIND OF LIMITED TO LIKE ARTS AND SPORTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE OPTIONS AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT? UM THE IMAGINATION OF OUR FAMILIES AND WHAT THEY NEED AND HOW WE CAN IMPLY. APPLY THAT SO? THANK YOU. THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS ANYTIME WE SELECTED VENDOR OTHER THAN BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD. THAT IS CORRECT YESTERDAY. IS YOUR MIKE IS MICHAEL NOT ANYWAY. MIKE OFF, SEAN. UM I WAS GOING TO SAY MR MYERS IS TALKING ABOUT AS YOU KNOW, STARTING TO HAVE THE YOUNGER MUSIC PROGRAM. SO I WAS WONDERING IF LIKE IF THERE IS ANY, MAYBE WE COULD ASK HIM HE MIGHT KNOW. BUT IS THERE ANY LIKE I MEAN THESE KIDS, ESPECIALLY AT THAT AGE, THEY LOVE TO SING SO I MEAN, MAYBE IT'S LIKE IF WE'RE GOING TO START IMPLEMENTING THAT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MAYBE WE COULD LIKE, START TO LOOK UM, AT THE YOUNGER AGES, AND, LIKE, REALLY GET THAT GOING. THAT WOULD KIND OF BE A FUN THING FOR THEM. JUST A THOUGHT.

ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE THIS. I'M SO GLAD THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS FOR KIDS. THE ONE THING, THOUGH, THAT IT KIND OF MAKES ME A LITTLE UNEASY ABOUT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS HOMEWORK . UM FOR THESE KIDS THAT ARE IN SCHOOL, AND THEN THEY'RE DOING PRE BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL FUN ACTIVITIES ENRICHMENT. IT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SAVING TIME FOR THE HOMEWORK IS NECESSARY, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THE HOMEWORK AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT THAT WE'RE STILL FALLING WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES OF 10 MINUTES PER GRADE LEVEL, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO REEVALUATE? UM WE REALLY ONLY LOOKED AT HOMEWORK IN THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. MAYBE IT'S ANOTHER TIME TO JUST REVIEW IT AS WE'RE LOOKING ALONG WITH OUR EXPANDED LEARNING, UM, FOR AFTER SCHOOL, AND THEN, OF COURSE, I WANT TO TACKLE HOMEWORK IN HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN. UM BUT THAT THAT IS MY CONCERN THAT EVEN SIXTH GRADERS IF WE'RE STICKING TO THE GUIDELINES, IT'S AN HOUR OF WORK . BUT IF WE'RE AT SCHOOL FOR NINE HOURS, EVEN WITH ENRICHMENT AND ANOTHER HOUR OF HOMEWORK, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERING ALL OF OUR BASIS AND I AND TO BE HONEST, I THINK THAT THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMEWORK IN THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS HOMEWORK TIME THAT WILL BE BUILT INTO THE SCHEDULE. RIGHT DOCTOR LOPEZ REQUIREMENTS OF LOP IS THAT WE DO PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT DURING THAT TIME. ALONG WITH THE ENRICHMENT PART AS WE'RE BUILDING IT OUT, AND AS THIS STUDENTS ARE WORKING ON THAT ACADEMIC TIME, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING AWARE OF IT. AND IF KIDS ARE HAVING SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH TIME, OR THEY'RE NOT COMPLETING IN THE TIME THAT IS NEEDED, UM THEN MAYBE WE ADDRESS THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT TOO MUCH FOR THEM DEFINITELY NOTED. THANK YOU. WHEN IS A GREAT WAY TO MEASURE TO? I MEAN, THE FACT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT, UM GOING ALONG WITH THAT. ON THE STAFF THAT YOU'RE HIRING. I'M ASSUMING ONE OF THE CRITERIA IS GOING TO BE THE ABILITY TO TUTOR AND BE EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE CLASSIFIED STAFF. THE LEARNING PART OF THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE CRITERIAS FOR SELECTING THE STAFF MEMBERS FOR THIS. YES.

QUESTION WELL, THE IF THERE'S IF THERE'S TUTORING COMPONENT OF IT , BUT THE MAJORITY OF THIS IS REALLY FOR THE ENRICHMENT, YOU KNOW, PART AND SO LIKE, WE'LL BE PROBABLY LOOKING AND I'M MAKING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO OUR AIDS AS AN EXAMPLE WHO ARE, YOU KNOW INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS DO IN THE CLASSROOM AND VERY ABLE, YES , TO, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE HOMEWORK SUPPORT AND EVEN YOUR INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT IN SMALL GROUPS SETTINGS, SO YOU KNOW, WE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE A NOTE OF THAT AS WELL AND ENSURE THAT WE'RE BUILDING A COMPONENT OF THAT INTO THE PROGRAM, TOO. AND I THINK WE HAD MADE MENTION OF THIS ONCE BEFORE. I THINK WE HAVE THE ANSWER, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS IS A PROGRAM IN WHICH WILL BE

[02:30:03]

[HUMAN RESOURCES]

ALRIGHT ANYONE ELSE? I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT ALL OF OUR DATA IS ALL WITH THIS AS WELL KEPT, UM, CONFIDENTIAL. IT IS. WE'VE PROVIDED A TWO PAGE SUMMARY OF ALL OF THE MEASURES THAT ARE TAKEN BOTH FOR ENCRYPTION AND WHERE THEY'VE BEEN, UM SO AUTHORIZED. I'M SORRY. WHERE THERE ARE CREDITED CREDITED BY FIVE DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT HAVE CERTIFIED UM THEIR SECURITY. GREAT, THANK YOU. AND DO WE GET A CHOICE OF SHREDDING COMPANY THAT WE CAN USE? WANT TO PUT STOCK IN THEM RIGHT RESEARCH THAT ALL RIGHT? OKAY SO, UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I OPPOSED MOTION PASSES BY PLUS OUR STUDENT. NO VOTE ON THIS ITEM. SO FIVE ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ONLY SECOND.

CORRECT. WE STILL GOT A WHILE. YES YEAH, IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE DESIGNS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I WOULDN'T EXPECT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO DO. THEY'RE PRETTY STANDARD. IT'S NOT LIKE THAT WE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, INSTALLING A NEW HPC SYSTEM OVER IN A GYMNASIUM THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE TIME INTENSIVE, WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DSA PROCESS. I BELIEVE THERE'S ALREADY PRE APPROVED DRAWINGS FOR THESE TYPE OF FAN INSTALLATIONS. AND SO I WOULDN'T EXPECT THE ACTUAL ARCHITECTURAL WORK TO TAKE. TAKE THAT LONG, SO IT COULD MOVE QUICKLY THEN I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE IT'S POSSIBLE AND I HAVE TO CHECK WITH OUR MAINTENANCE FACILITIES TEAM WAS PROBABLY LISTENING AT THIS MOMENT, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T COMMIT TO ANYTHING THAT I SHOULDN'T SO I'LL DOUBLE CHECK WITH THEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'LL MOVE FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. LISTENING. THEY IF WE CAN'T GET THIS AIR CONDITIONING DONE BY SUMMER, WHEN THEY SAID IT WAS 100 AND FIVE IF THEY'RE LISTENING, CAN WE TRY TO GET THE FANS IN AT LEAST FOR BY THE SUMMERTIME, BUT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THIS RIGHT. THE RIGHT STAND FANS. ABSOLUTELY.

[23. Approve the school district placement agreement with the University of Southern California from January 18, 2023-June 30, 2026.]

[02:45:05]

INSTITUTIONS LIKE THAT, SO THAT'S KIND OF MY QUESTION GOING FORWARD. I CAN RESPOND TO SOME OF THOSE AND SOME OTHERS. I CAN PROVIDE SOME UPDATES WITH REGARDS TO THE STIPEND AMOUNT.

IT DOES VARY FROM UNIVERSITY TO UNIVERSITY, BUT THAT IS NOT AND THEN COMMON DOLLAR MOUNTAIN CERTAINLY WISH THAT IT COULD BE MORE BUT CAN IT BE MORE CAN WE ASK FOR MORE WOULD DO SOMETHING INDIVIDUAL FOR DISTRICT BUT I HAVE NOT ASKED. YOU KNOW, WE COULD CERTAINLY INQUIRE ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT IS A PRETTY COMMON AMOUNT. UM, AND THE THREE YEAR TERM IS ALSO VERY COMMON.

UM WE HAVE ABOUT 25 UNIVERSITY AGREEMENTS RIGHT NOW. UM, AND SO THREE YEARS IS TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO. AND WE CAN I PAUSE SO WE HAVE 25 UNIVERSITY AGREEMENTS RIGHT NOW, WITH MULTIPLE COLLEGES FOR STUDENT TEACHERS AND COUNSELING, SO I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR THAT WE HAVE 25 RIGHT NOW. IT WAS NOT JUST ONE. OKAY. GO ON. SO, UH, WE DO SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S SURROUNDING AREA. THERE'S SOME THAT DO THINGS REMOTE. AND SO SOME OF THEM ARE NOT IN THE AREA AS WELL. SO WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO EXPAND PARTNERSHIPS. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY DIRECT CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HISTORIC HISTORICAL BLACK COLLEGES. THE GEOGRAPHY IS CHALLENGING ON THAT RIGHT? BUT IF WE ARE ABLE TO DO SOME, POSSIBLY OVER THE ZOOM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT OPTION.

AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO SOME INNER CITY. UM SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THEY ARE. THERE'S A LOT OF PROGRAMS WHERE THESE KIDS CAN YOU KNOW THE DISTRICT COMPARE THERE'S PROGRAMS WHERE THEY CAN GO VISIT THESE COLLEGES , AND IT'S A REALLY FASCINATING PROGRAMS THAT, UM THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO. SO I WAS JUST GONNA ASK THAT QUESTION. AND THEN I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT USC DOES KNOW ABOUT THE BAN, AND ALONG WITH THE OTHER 25 COLLEGES, I'M SURE THAT THEY HAVE NO ISSUES WITH OUR BAND, AND THEY'RE READY TO COME TEACH OUR DISTRICT CURRICULUM. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU LIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY OR LOS ANGELES COUNTY, YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR BAND . WELL, PERFECT. MHM. YEAH SO I'M REALLY I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY, THOUGH, THAT OUT OF THIS CAME OUT THAT WE HAVE 25. WE HAVE 25 COLLEGES THAT ARE IN OUR DISTRICT. SO OKAY, PERFECT. I'M READY TO VOTE. OKAY UH, WITH THAT SAID ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. HI. ALL OPPOSED. ALRIGHT MOTION APPROVES BY PLUS OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER OKAY?
