I HAVE ALSO BEEN NAMED A NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR FOR THESE ACHIEVEMENTS.
NOW I DON'T BRING THIS UP TO BRAG, OR TO GLOAT ABOUT MY PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS. BUT BECAUSE I VIEW ALL OF THESE THINGS AS A PRODUCT OF OUR DISTRICT, AND I HOPE THAT YOU CAN KEEP THAT IN MIND AS I MAKE MY NEXT FEW REMARKS NOW OUR NEXT PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDED A SEGMENT FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHING AND FOR THINGS AND LEAVE OF YOUR FOR RESOURCES USED IN TEACHERS ABSENCES. NOW. A LOT OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THANKS TO MY TEACHERS. AND THANKS TO MY TEACHERS, GREAT WORK, AND I CANNOT DENY THE GREAT WORK THAT THE BOARD HAS

THANK YOU. OKAY UH, SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO OTHER SPEAKERS IN REGARDS TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET. I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PORTION AT 17 21. OKAY THAT BRINGS US TO[PUBLIC COMMENT]
PUBLIC COMMENT. PUBLIC COMMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE INPUT TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT DIALOGUE WITH SPEAKERS OR MAKE COMMENTS REGARDING THE INFORMATION SHARED. LOOKS LIKE TONIGHT. WE HAVE 34 SPEAKERS 34 SO. THAT WILL ENSURE US OF A MINUTE PER PERSON, ONE MINUTE PER SPEAKER. UM I'M GONNA CALL THE SPEAKERS UP BY NAME. UM, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GET FIRST FOUR SPEAKERS IN THE FRONT ROW.AH ONCE I CALL THE NEXT FOUR, YOU GUYS COME ON UP SORT OF MIGRATING UP TO THE FRONT ROW AND WE'LL GET THIS THROUGH AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE, OKAY? SO OUR FIRST FOUR INCLUDE TIM MURRAY. CARL SWEET. BEEN PERALTA. AND BRIAN DUTTON. MR MURRAY, YOU WILL GO FIRST. ONE MINUTE. I GOTTA TURN THE SPEECH AROUND. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TIM MURRAY AND I AM ASKING THE BOARD TO INCLUDE THE LIGHTS PROJECT THAT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE BUDGET. FROM 1999 TO 2007. I WAS BOTH A COACH AND A TEACHER AT ELDORADO. I KNOW. THE CHALLENGES WITH FIELD SPACE ON THAT CAMPUS. CURRENTLY I'M A PARENT OF A STUDENT ELDORADO AND A MULTI SPORT ATHLETE. THE HISTORY OF THE PROJECT DATES BACK TO 2007. THE LIGHTS WERE ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. WHEN THE TURF WAS INSTALLED IN 2010. THE ELECTRICITY AND CONDUIT WAS ALL LAID UNDER THAT TURF. IT'S ALREADY THERE. I HOPE THAT AFTER 16 YEARS OF WAITING, ELDORADO WILL FINALLY HAVE LIGHTS ON THIS CAMPUS. IT IS THE CAMPUS THAT HAS THE MOST LIMITS TO ITS FIELD SPACE. IN THE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS HAD SUFFERED BECAUSE OF IT. WHY SHOULD ELDORADO BE THE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT WITHOUT LIGHTS ON ITS OUTDOOR ATHLETIC FACILITY? THAT MY TIME? THANK YOU GIRLS. THANK YOU, MR MURRAY. MR SWEET. YES. OKAY, DISTINGUISHED, UH. DISTRICT PERSONNEL AND SCHOOL BOARD. I AM HERE IN SUPPORT OF INSTALLING THE LIGHTS. ALSO I HAD A 16 YEAR COACHING EXPERIENCE AT EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL 20 YEARS AS ITS MALE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. AND ALL THOSE YEARS WE WENT WITHOUT LIGHTING ON OUR FOOTBALL FIELD WHEN THE BOND WAS PASSED IN 2009. OVER THERE ABOUTS. THEY PUT ASTRO TURF FOR ARTIFICIAL TURF ON ALL THE FOR FIELDS, THEY PUT LIGHTS ON ESPERANZA FIELD AND ESPERANZA ALREADY HAD LIGHTS ON THEIR SOCCER FIELD. UH AND THEN CHAPPELLE AND BRADFORD OF THE TWO STADIUMS. UM I THINK IT'S LONG OVERDUE FOR ELDORADO TO HAVE LIGHTS AND OUR KIDS ARE, UH , OPERATING AT A DEFICIENCY OR A COMPETITIVE EQUITY PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT, AND IT'S TIME TO GET IT DONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOARD. MY NAME IS BEN PERALTA. I AM A PARENT OF FOUR STUDENTS WHO
[00:20:13]
THREE ARE CURRENTLY ATTENDING. ONE HAS GRADUATED THREE UP WILL GO THROUGH YOUR BLEND HIGH SCHOOL ONE IS CURRENTLY A FRESHMAN AT I'LL DRAW HIGH SCHOOL. HE'S PLAYED FOOTBALL AND SOCCER AND I'VE BEEN TO PRACTICES WHERE, UH, THE THEY HAVE THE PORTABLE LIGHTS ON AND THEY'RE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE. I WOULD NOT TRUST MYSELF GETTING, YOU KNOW, BEING IN THE FACE WITH A FAT FOR THE FOOTBALL JUST DON'T SAFE ENVIRONMENT. GETTING HAVING LIGHTS WOULD GIVE MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR THEIR FOOTBALL TEAMS. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, NOT FOOTBALL. BUT SPORTS TEAMS AT THE SCHOOL BOTH FOR WOMEN AND MEN. IT'S BASICALLY IT'S NOT FAIR THAT ELDORADO IS ONLY HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT A LIGHTED FIELD. IT REALLY PUTS THEM. THAT THE BOYS AND GIRLS TEAMS AT A DISADVANTAGE COMPARED TO THE OTHER SCHOOLS, HUNDREDS OF HARDWORKING STUDENT ATHLETES THAT PARTICIPATE IN MARCHING BAND TACKLE FOOTBALL, FLAG FOOTBALL, SOCCER TRACK AND FIELD AND THE CROSS DESERVES BETTER. AS TO THE THOUSANDS OF FUTURE ATHLETES THAT WILL ATTEND ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THERE IS A TEACHER IN ELDORADO, WHO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF TEACHING INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL TO HER CHILDREN. I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THAT TEACHER UNEQUIVOCALLY. UM AND RATHER THAN SINGING THE PRAISES OF THIS TEACHER, WHICH I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU ARE HERE TO DO. I'D LIKE TO PUT SOME SOME CONTEXT INTO, UM WHAT SOME OF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW. SO SHE'S ACCUSED OF ANSWERING A STUDENT'S QUESTION. UM AND INCLUDING INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL, BUT I WANT DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS A STUDENTS? ASKED QUESTIONS, SO THIS IS NOT PART OF A THE TEACHERS NORMAL CURRICULUM. UM I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT SHE WAS ANSWERING THE QUESTION IN AS GOOD OF FAITH AS YOU CAN TO TRY AND GIVE THAT STUDENT A COMPLETE . AND WELL THOUGHT OUT ANSWER TO KEEP THEM FROM HAVING TO GO HOME AND GOOGLE IT. UM SO I WOULD JUST LIKE YOU TO KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT THIS WAS A TEACHER'S GOOD FAITH. ATTEMPT AT ANSWERING A IMPROMPTU QUESTION FROM A STUDENT. THANK YOU. OKAY NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS, SEE COULSON. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M GONNA SEE THIS. HAWK TUNE. OKAY. OH, THANK YOU.AH, JENNY BURNT BURNETT. FRANK RODRIGUEZ AND GRACE GORDON. COULSON, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST STEP LET THEM GET SETTLED FIRST. AND GO AHEAD AND TELL US YOUR NAME. HOW YOU SAY IT CORRECTLY, THEY'LL DEAL BUT I GUESS SINCE I'M FROM ALDO HOCKEY WILL WORK JUST FINE. NICE. I THINK WE HAVE A THIRD MEMBER. YEAH. GO AHEAD. WE'LL GET STARTED ALREADY. I AM ALSO IN SUPPORT OF MRS RAY BERG.
I WAS I'M A FORMER STUDENT ELDORADO. I'M CURRENTLY AT CAL STATE FULLERTON. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY SHE'S BEEN ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING TEACHERS I'VE EVER HAD. I'VE KNOWN HER FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS AND THE LASTING IMPACT OF HAVING HER AS AN AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE TEACHER HAS SUPPORTED ME THROUGH NOT ONLY ONE BUT TWO UPPER DIVISION COURSES AT MY UNIVERSITY. NOW I USED TO BE A PROGRESSIVE, BUT IN HER CLASS, I LEARNED THE VALUE OF MOVING FORWARD AND ALWAYS GETTING ASSIGNMENTS DONE. AND THIS IS PREPARED ME TO GETTING A IS AN A PLUS IS IN THESE TWO UPPER DIVISION COURSES. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, MR OBERG , AND THEN ALSO, OF COURSE, WE KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE. SHE'S BEING ACCUSED OF TEACHING INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL. HOWEVER MISS RAYBURN IS SIMPLY DOING HER BEST TO EDUCATE A STUDENT ON A QUESTION. THEY ASKED. SHE DID THIS IN GOOD FAITH AND IS AN AMAZING EDUCATOR, MOTHER AND MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. I JUST WANT TO ASK FOR AN APPLAUSE FOR MRS RAYBURN FOR DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS.
THANK YOU. NEXT UP, JEANNIE BURNETT. IS THAT CORRECT? NO. PLEASE CLARIFY THAT'S JENNY BREMER. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS JENNY BEAR AROUND THE TEACHER AT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I TEACH WHAT HISTORY U. S HISTORY MULTICULTURAL STUDIES TWO WEEKS AGO, OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY LOST A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. WHEN I TRANSFERRED TO ELDORADO ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, I SAT DOWN WITH AMY MADRIGAL AND ASKED HER ABOUT THE SCHOOL CULTURE. WHAT SHE SAID HAS BEEN MY TOUCHSTONE SINCE THAT DAY. HERE AT EL DORADO. WE LOVE ON KIDS. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. AND THAT'S WHAT IS WHAT WE DO ACROSS THE DISTRICT. WE TEACHERS LOVE ON KIDS. WE LISTEN TO KIDS. WE TALKED TO
[00:25:01]
KIDS. WE ASKED SOME QUESTIONS. WE HELP THEM FIND ANSWERS. WE EDUCATE KIDS. WE LAUGH WITH OUR KIDS WE LOVE ON KIDS. ANYONE WHO GOES INTO OUR CLASSROOMS SEES THIS. IF YOU GO INTO OUR CLASSROOMS, YOU WILL SEE THIS. IT'S WHAT WE DO. WE LOVE ON KIDS. MR RODRIGUEZ. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS FRANK RODRIGUEZ. I'M A PRO PARENT ACTIVISTS OUT OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. I'M HERE TO SHOW MY DISAPPROVAL FOR THE BEHAVIORS IN WHICH THAT TEACHER DISPLAYED IN EDUCATING STUDENTS ON WHERE TO FIND SEXUAL OBJECTS TO SATISFY NEEDS THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA OF LEARNING FROM AN EDUCATOR. TEACHERS HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DRAW THE LINE AT QUESTIONS IN WHICH STUDENTS ASK IF A STUDENT GOES INTO A CLASSROOM AND HAS A RECOMMENDATION OR QUESTION OF SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE CURIOUS ABOUT. IT IS UP TO THE TEACHER TO SAY YES OR NO OR TO SPEAK TO YOUR PARENTS. THAT WAS A QUESTION TO REFER TO A CHILD'S PARENT, NOT JUST SIT ON A DESK AND PROVIDE DIRECTION WHERE TO FIND THESE SEXUAL OBJECTS TO SUCCESS. SATISFY THESE CURIOSITIES THAT THIS CHILD MAY HAVE TEACHERS. YOU HAVE A HIGHER OBLIGATION. YOU ARE NOT THEIR PARENTS. YOU ARE NOT THE EPICENTER FOR ALL THE INFORMATION IN WHICH THAT CHILD NEEDS TO CONSUME, REFER TO THEM TO THEIR PARENTS. DO YOUR JOB AND STAY IN LINE. THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT FIRING OF THAT TEACHER TO DISTINGUISH WHETHER OR NOT HER BEHAVIOR WAS GOOD OR NOT.MISS GORDON. I'M STANDING BEFORE THE BOARD IN MY COMMUNITY TO DISCUSS YET ANOTHER INCIDENT AT GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY. MY SON IS IN THE THIRD GRADE CLASS, AND THIS YEAR HE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY RACIALLY BULLIED FOR BEING BLACK . HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE RACIAL SLURS YO. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR SKIN, BRO? IT'S BLACK MONKEY COLOR. EVERYBODY RUN FROM THE BLACK MONKEY. HE HAS BEEN CALLED THE BLACK MONKEY NUMEROUS TIMES AND BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT KIDS ADMINISTRATIONS CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. HE WAS CALLED THE BLACK MONKEY DURING COMPUTER LAB CLASS WHERE THE TEACHER HEARD HER RESPONSE. I HEARD EVERYBODY CALM DOWN, EVERYBODY JUST SIT DOWN. THAT WAS HER RESPONSE TO MY THIRD GRADER. ANOTHER INCIDENT. HEY DO YOU KNOW WHAT NIGERIA STANDS FOR AREA TO A THIRD GRADES? YOU KNOW, THE ONLY BLACK KID IN HIS CLASS. LET ME REPEAT THAT. IN CASE YOU WEREN'T UNCOMFORTABLE YET. DO YOU KNOW WHAT NIGERIA STANDS FOR AREA TO MY THIRD GRADE SON, WHO IS THE ONLY BLACK KID IN HIS CLASS? MY SON HAS BEEN SLAMMED UP AGAINST A FENCE WITH SUCH A FORCE THAT IT CREATED TWO INCH OPEN GASH ON HIS SKIN. RESPONSE A BLUE SLIP.
I WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE INCIDENCES. I'M ASKING FOR SOMEBODY TO LOOK INTO THE ADMINISTRATION AT GLENVIEW ELEMENTARY. NO MOTHER SHOULD FEAR THE SAFETY OF HER SON. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. D LAWRENCE RAG REGULAR RIGHT. OKAY BRIAN CURSE, BERG.
ISABELLE. WHAT IS THAT, THEN? YEAH. AND ANGELA CONNOLLY. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME ONCE YOU'RE UP THERE, PLEASE. STEPHEN BOARD. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME. BRIAN AND I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL FIERY RESPONSES TO THE SITUATION CONCERNING JUDY RAY BERG. UPON REFLECTION. I THINK THAT WE ALL NEED TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND RELAX. HAVE WE COLLECTIVELY LOST THE ABILITY TO TAKE A CALM AND REASONED APPROACH TO ANYTHING ANYMORE? EVERYTHING IN TODAY'S TRIBAL ENVIRONMENT HAS TO BE BLACK OR WHITE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. MUST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TEACHERS BE LIMITED TO PRAISE OR FIRE. IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE , AND WE ARE 100% BEHIND MRS RAYBURN AND BELIEVE SHE DID NOTHING TO WARRANT ANY DISCIPLINE. SHE GAVE HONEST AND ACCURATE ANSWERS TO A SERIES OF QUESTIONS POSED BY OUR UPPER CLASS STUDENTS THAT RELATED TO THE MATTER. SHE WAS PRESENTING. AND YES, WAS IN OUR OPINION AGE APPROPRIATE. ON THE OTHER HAND.
WE'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GENUINE OUTRAGE OR BETTER STATED CONCERNS ACTUALLY EXIST. READING THE PUBLIC RESPONSES WRAPPING UP, SIR, READING THE PUBLIC RESPONSES. WE BELIEVE MUCH OF THE STATED OUTRAGE TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL POSTURING. HOWEVER WE ACKNOWLEDGE THANK
[00:30:05]
YOU, SIR, HAVE EXPRESSED GENUINE CONCERN AND THAT BE IGNORED. RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. HELLO BOARD. HELLO. EVERYONE OUT THERE . I'M BRIAN KIRSH BIRD. AH MEMBER OF THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 39 YEARS SINCE RETIRED. SO WHAT WOULD BE. SO WRONG WITH EXPRESSING OUR CONCERN IN A MEASURED AND REASONABLE MAN OR HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF CALLING HER SICK, PERVERTED OR WORSE, YOU SIMPLY STATE THAT YOU FELT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF PERSONAL DISCOMFORT WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER DISCUSSED. AND SOME OF THE LANGUAGE SHE USED. HOW ABOUT ASKING IF SHE COULD MODERATE BOTH IN THE FUTURE? HOW ABOUT ALLOWING THIS BELOVED AND DEDICATED EDUCATOR TO PUT THIS CERTIFICATE VICIOUSLY ACQUIRED SNIPPET INTO FULL CONTEXT BEFORE BRINGING OUT THE TORCHES? THIS WAS NOT PUT INTO FULL CONTEXT. THERE'S WAY TOO MUCH, UH, BEHIND THE SCENES THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THERE, AND PEOPLE ARE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. WE ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF MRS RAY BERG. HELLO MY NAME IS ISABEL VIEW. AND I AM A STUDENT AT ELDORADO. I'M CURRENTLY A JUNIOR. AND I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH MRS RABER GIG. UM SO I WANT TO FIRST ADDRESS THE SITUATION WITH THE SEXUAL OBJECTS AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS REASONABLE TO THINK THAT ANY STUDENT THAT WOULD HAVE THESE QUESTIONS WOULD GO TO THEIR PARENTS ASKING ABOUT THESE, MRS RABER CREATED A SAFE SITUATION FOR STUDENTS TO ASK QUESTIONS, AND SHE ANSWERED THEM ANATOMICALLY CORRECTLY IN HER ANATOMY CLASS, WHICH IS AVAILABLE TO JUNIORS AND SENIORS. I'VE REACHED OUT TO HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HER. IN FACT, I'VE HEARD MANY OF THE STUDENTS SAY THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW THESE THINGS. AND THEY KNEW WHERE TO FIND THESE THINGS. SHE WAS ONLY IN FORMING A STUDENT THAT ASKED A QUESTION. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANKS FOR LISTENING. MY NAME IS ANGIE CONNOLLY. I'M THE PARENT OF A FEMALE ATHLETE AT ELDORADO IN TRACK, SOCCER AND TENNIS. AND I'M SPEAKING IN. UM UH, FOR INPUTTING THE LIGHTS IN ON THE TRACK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE MANY YEARS AGO. ELDORADO HAS ALWAYS BEEN SMALL. BUT THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE LACK OF FIELD SPACE HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR COACHES AND ATHLETES TO GET IN THE TIME THEY NEED TO TRAIN AND CONDITION SAFELY AND PROPERLY. UM IT'S BECOMING EMBARRASSINGLY CLEAR THAT WE ARE NOT DOING RIGHT BY OUR ATHLETES, BOTH FEMALE AND IN SPORTS THAT ARE SOMETIMES MARGINALIZED. I'VE WATCHED TENNIS ATHLETES GET SHIN SPLINTS BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPECTED TO CONDITION ON THE CEMENT TRACKS. I'VE WATCHED SOCCER GIRLS SPRING, THEIR ANKLES AND HOLES BECAUSE THEY'RE ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GROUNDS, AND THE LIGHTS WOULD HELP PROVIDE TIME FOR THESE GUYS. I'M ALSO A NEXT IMMEDIATE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. I'M ALSO HERE FOR TRACK. THEY DEFINITELY NEED THAT FIELD DESPERATELY. BUT I'M ALSO A NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TO A PLACENTA SCHOOL. I KNOW INCONVENIENCES, BUT INCONVENIENCES DO NOT GO ABOVE A STUDENT'S CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT IN THEIR GROWTH. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU. NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. RYAN SELWAY. KRISTEN. JENNY PUT PATRIA. AND LINDA MANNION.MR SELWAY, YOU'RE UP FIRST. I DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN. UM ANYWAY, I'M HERE TO TALK ON BEHALF OF, UH, OLD DORADO AND THE LIGHTS SOME I LIVED HERE FOR 15 YEARS MOVED AWAY. MY FRESHMAN YEAR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL MOVED TO HOUSTON ON BACK IN THIS COMMUNITY. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 10 YEARS. AND MY WIFE AND I TOLD HER THIS IS WHERE YOU RAISE A FAMILY. I GOT TWO SONS WANTED ELDORADO WANTED TOUGH FREE. I COACH SIX DIFFERENT SPORTS IN THIS COMMUNITY. UM IT'S A SHAME THAT WE CAN'T FIGHT FUEL SPACE, MOSTLY FOR THE SAFETY OF THESE KIDS, ESPECIALLY GOING TO THE COVID AND EVERYTHING WE WENT THROUGH. I SEE SO MANY KIDS OUT THERE. THAT NEED TO BE OUT PLANNED. THEY NEED TO PUT THEIR PHONES DOWN. THEY NEED TO BE OUT PLANT. ANYWAY IT'S HEARTBREAKING
[00:35:03]
TO ME THAT WE'RE EVEN AT THIS POINT WITH THIS, AND FOR ALL THOSE THAT LIVED BEHIND ELDORADO AND DON'T WANT LIGHTS. I LIVE RIGHT BY TOUGHER AND YOU GUYS PUT PICKLE BALL COURTS IN AND I KNOW ALL YOU GUYS ARE THERE 6 30 IN THE MORNING TILL NINE AT NIGHT ON THE LAST HOUSE RIGHT BY THEM. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. NOTHING. THERE'S LIGHTS AND TO FREE TO I LIVE RIGHT BEHIND TO FREE AS WELL. AND THERE ARE LIGHTS THERE. THERE'S BAND IN THE MORNING, AND THERE'S PE ALL DAY LONG. I BOUGHT A HOUSE NEAR SCHOOL, KNOWING THAT THERE WOULD BE NOISE THAT'S EXPECTED. UM EL DORADO IS LONG OVERDUE FOR THOSE LIGHTS. I WENT TO ELDORADO. MY KIDS BOTH GO TO ELDORADO.THEY'RE BOTH ATHLETES AND OUR PRACTICES AND GET CANCELED BECAUSE THE GRASS IS TOO WET. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FIELD SPACE. WE HAVE LESS FIELD SPACE ACTUALLY THAN ALL OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT. SO NOT ONLY THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LIGHTED FIELD. WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME ABILITY TO PRACTICE AS THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE A FEW ROUNDS. I THINK IT'S ABOUT EIGHT RESIDENTS DON'T WANT THESE LIGHTS. OUR KIDS DESERVE THESE LIGHTS. THEY NEED THESE LIGHTS SO THAT THEY CAN PRACTICE AND WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND WE CAN DO OUR SPORTS. WE'VE ALSO ADDED ANOTHER SPORT TO OUR SCHOOL THAT USES THE FIELD FLAG FOOTBALL STARTS NEXT YEAR. WITH EVEN LESS FIELD SPACE NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE KIDS AND MORE TEAMS, UM I KNOW PARKING IS THE CONCERN, BUT BROOKHAVEN. IT'S BY PERMIT ONLY SO THEY CAN TAKE THAT UP WITH THE POLICE.
AND THERE'S NO UM STADIUM ACCESS TO THERE. AND, UM, THE BAND IS ANOTHER CONCERN, BUT MAYBE THE BOARD CAN MAKE A RULE THAT MAY BE BANNED PRACTICES ONLY IN THE MORNING OR ONLY AT NIGHT, BUT NOT BOTH, BECAUSE THAT'S A VERY VALID CONCERN FOR THEM. THANK YOU, MA'AM. APPRECIATE THAT.
JENNY. HELLO MY NAME IS JENNY PETRELLA. AND I AM A MOTHER TO AN ELDORADO SENIOR. I'M ALSO A PRODUCT OF THE DISTRICT AS I GRADUATED FROM VALENCIA CLASS OF 91. I'VE ALSO WORKED IN THE DISTRICT AND I'VE BEEN A TEACHER, MOSTLY OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT FOR ABOUT 24 YEARS NOW , AND I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF MRS RAY BERG. I'VE SEEN THE VIDEO FIRSTHAND. MY DAUGHTER HAS HAD HER FOR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. MY DAUGHTER ALSO HAD HER FOR AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. MY DAUGHTER, UM, JUST HAS LOVED HER AS A TEACHER AND I'VE SEEN HER TEACH FIRSTHAND, SO I'VE SEEN HOW SHE IS AN ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS. THOSE OF YOUR PARENTS WHO ARE SITTING HERE SAYING WELL, SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAD AT HOME IF THE STUDENTS FELT COMFORTABLE ASKING THEIR PARENTS AT HOME. THEN THEY WOULD. BUT THERE ARE TEACHERS IN THIS DISTRICT WHO ARE ADVOCATES FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR PARENTS. AND WE NEED TEACHERS LIKE MRS RAYBURN, WHO ARE PASSIONATE WHO ARE AND ADVOCATE FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND WHERE STRONG SCIENCE TEACHERS THAT IS ONE OF THE AREAS OF WEAKNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, LINDA . LINDA MANNION, AND I'M THE APPLE PRESIDENT. AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT A CHECK TO THE DISTRICT. YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT THERE. UM EVERY YEAR, THE ANAHEIM DUCKS DOES THE SPECIAL, UM SPECIAL EDUCATORS TONIGHT AND THEY HONOR EDUCATORS ALL OVER ALL OVER THE COUNTY. AND EVERY YEAR WE TAKE MANY TEACHERS AS WANT TO COME. AND EVERY YEAR WE HAVE THE MOST TEACHERS OF ANY ANY DISTRICT IN ORANGE COUNTY, AND THE BENEFIT OF THAT IS WHOEVER BRINGS THE MOST STUDENTS ARE ARE THE MOST TEACHERS WINDS THROUGH THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SILENT AUCTION, AND EVERY YEAR WE WENT, AND EVERY YEAR WE DONATE IT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT , AND WE DONATED IT TO THE EUROPE PROGRAM. IN THE PAST THIS YEAR, WE ARE DONATING IT TO THE P Y O. U S. C UNIFIED DANCE EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, YORBA LINDA MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS HOSTED THE UNIFIED DANCE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS OF ALL SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT, AND SO WE'RE GIVING 1586 TO SUPPORT THE UNIFIED DOWN. THANK YOU, MA'AM. NEXT FOUR SPEAKERS. ALYSSA SYLVESTER. STEVE STROBEL. CATHERINE MASSEY.
AND BROOKE. ALRIGHT. GO AHEAD, MISS SYLVESTER. OKAY HELLO. I AM IN A PARENT. I'M A PARENT OF TWO STUDENTS AT ELDORADO AND A FEW AND THEN A FEW YEARS OF THIRD SOPHOMORE PLAYS FOOTBALL ON THE CROSS AND HAS BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH BOTH PROGRAMS. HIS TEAMS ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE. THOUGH
[00:40:03]
THE STRUGGLES WOODFIELD SPACE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING, ESPECIALLY FOR HIS LACROSSE TEAM . LAST YEAR, THEY HAD A PRACTICE OF VALENCIA BECAUSE THE SCHOOL HAS LIGHTS. THEY HAD TO START PRACTICE AT EIGHT PM ON A SCHOOL NIGHT BECAUSE THE TEAM HAD TO WAIT FOR VALENCIA TO BE DONE USING THEIR FIELD. AS THE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT WITHOUT LIGHTS. IT PUTS OUR ATHLETES AT A HUGE DISADVANTAGE AGAINST OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE THE AMENITIES. ALSO SAFETY IS A CONCERN MY SON'S LACROSSE TEAM PRACTICE AT WAGNER UNTIL THEY GOT MOVED TO BROOKHAVEN.PRACTICING LACROSSE ON THOSE FIELDS CAUSED ANKLE SPRAINS AS A GRASS IS UNEVEN. IT IS ALSO A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE THE TEAM CANNOT HAVE QUALITY PRACTICE, NOT BEING ON THE TURF. WE'RE ASKING THAT THE SCHOOL WOULD MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TO ADD LIGHTS ON THE ELDORADO FIELD SO THAT THEY CAN PRACTICE IN PLACE SAFELY ON THEIR HOME FIELD. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STEVE STROMBOLI. I'M THE FATHER OF TWO STUDENT ATHLETES AT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. BETWEEN THEM. THEY PLAY FOOTBALL, SOCCER AND ACROSS, ALL OF WHICH USE THE SCHOOL'S TURF FIELD, NOT TO MENTION OTHERS, LIKE BAND TRACK , THE NORTH ORANGE COUNTY STRIKER SOCCER CLUB. THIS DISTRICT HAS FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS, ALL OF WHICH HAVE TURF FIELDS FOR THEIR HIGH QUALITY SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS. HOWEVER ONLY THREE OF THOSE FIELDS HAVE LIGHTS, ALLOWING MULTIPLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS AS WELL AS LOCAL LEAGUES, SUCH AS THE ADVANTAGE FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE TO USE THEIR FIELDS AFTER DARK. IS ELDORADO THOUGHT OF AS A SECOND CLASS PROGRAM THAT DOESN'T DESERVE A FIELD WITH LIGHTS. I'VE OFTEN HEARD OF ELDORADO BEING CALLED THE SCHOOL SPIRIT SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. THE HAWKS NEST WAS NAMED THE BEST SCHOOL ROOTING SECTION IN ORANGE COUNTY, AND THE STANDS ARE ALWAYS FILLED AT EVERY EVENT BY BOTH STUDENTS AND PARENTS, WHETHER IT BE FRESHMAN JV OR VARSITY LEVEL. MY DAUGHTER WHO PLAYS FOR THE LEAGUE CHAMPION JV GIRLS' LACROSSE TEAM HAD TWO GAMES THIS SEASON CALLED ON DARKNESS. CALLED ON DARKNESS. LET'S PUSH LEAGUE I THOUGHT THAT ONLY HEAGUE GAMES, WRAP IT UP. SCHOOL ATHLETIC TEAMS GOT IT. THANK YOU. HELLO MY NAME IS KATHERINE MASIC. AND I'M A SENIOR ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I'VE BEEN IN THIS DISTRICT MY WHOLE LIFE. I AM IN MISS RAY BERG'S ONE ANATOMY CLASS. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON A TEACHER WHO IS LOVED AND WHO IS WHO IS LOVED BY EVERY KID AND ADULT I'VE EVER MET. FORMER STUDENTS STILL SPEAK VERY HIGHLY OF HER. I DO NOT THINK IT ALMOST 20 YEAR CAREER SHOULD BE THROWN OUT BY ONE MINUTE VIDEO THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. THIS ANATOMY CLASS HAS BEEN HELPFUL FOR ME AND FOR MY FUTURE ENDEAVORS. THIS IS ANATOMY CLASS HAS TAUGHT ME THE DIFFERENT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRICKS AND BONES THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF MALLS TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GO TO A STAGE WHERE IT'S BAD AND WHAT TO DO IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. THIS CLASS HAS GIVEN STUDENTS A FORM TO ASK ANONYMOUS QUESTIONS DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE UNIT THAT THEY DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE ASKING WITH THEIR NAME. PROFESSIONAL A PROFESSIONAL, ANSWERED THEM IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY. I THINK THAT THE SITUATION NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED MORE BEFORE THIS AMAZING TEACHER HAS BEEN LOST OF HER JOB. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR LISTENING ME TO LISTENING TO ME AND LETTING ME SPEAK. SURE.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS BROOKE CHOLERIC. AND I'M A SENIOR AT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I'M NOT HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY SCHOOL OR MRS RABER GUY, BUT TO SIMPLY SHARE MY THOUGHTS AND SOME FACTS ABOUT THE SITUATION. MRS RAYBURN IS A BELOVED AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY TEACHER IN OUR SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY I'VE NEVER MET A STUDENT OR FACULTY MEMBER AT MY SCHOOL WHO HAS NEGATIVE OPINIONS ABOUT HER. A ONE MINUTE VIDEO CLIP MRS RAY BERG, ANSWERING ANONYMOUS QUESTIONS FROM HER STUDENTS, AND HER FIRST PERIOD TAUGHT ANATOMY CLASS OPTIONAL ELECTIVE OFFERED. ONLY TWO UPPERCLASSMEN WAS POSTED TO INSTAGRAM THIS WEEK. WELL, ANSWERING ONE OF THE QUESTIONS, MRS RABER G USED ANATOMICAL TERMS TO PROPERLY AND MOST ACCURATELY ANSWER THE QUESTION SO THAT OUR STUDENTS WOULD BEST UNDERSTAND. AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS MRS REBERG. AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS MRS RAYBURN AND BELIEVES THAT SHE SIMPLY ANSWERED THE QUESTION MOST ACCURATELY AND APPROPRIATELY FOR HER STUDENTS. IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CLEAR UP SOME COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS. I HEARD MRS REBERG HAS BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY ON CAMPUS AND NOT ONLY TO OUR STUDENTS, BUT TO THE PEOPLE AROUND HER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MA'AM.
OKAY. NEXT FOUR, SHARI. JUDY JARDINE. SARAH GABRIEL. AND CHRIS ELIQUIS.
[00:45:02]
ONE EXCEPTION TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AS DECIDED IN A 54 RULING BY THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES AND BOARD OF EDUCATION. ISLAND TREES UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT VERSUS PICO IS THAT BOOKS CAN BE REMOVED FROM SCHOOL LIBRARY SHELVES IF THEY ARE PERVASIVELY VULGAR, BASICALLY REPEATED VULGARITY REPEATED, EXPLICIT REFERENCE TO SEX. SIX MONTHS AGO, I STOOD HERE AND READ THE BOOK. THIS BOOK IS GAY, WHICH IS FOUND IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES. EVERY PAGE OF THIS BOOK HAS IMAGES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF BOYS ENGAGING IN ALL TYPES OF SEX. SINCE THEN, MULTIPLE FAMILIES HAVE SENT EMAILS AND HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT OTHER BOOKS IN OUR LIBRARY THAT REPEAT EXPLICIT SEX ON EVERY PAGE. I'M STANDING HERE AGAIN TO ASK YOU WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR THIS BOARD TO AUDIT OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND REMOVE ANY BOOK THAT IS CONSIDERED PERVASIVELY VULGAR BOOKS THAT REPEAT EXPLICIT SEX. WE'RE NOT HERE TO BAN BOOKS. WE ARE SIMPLY ASKING TO REMOVE THE PORN. THANK YOU. JUDY. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M JUDY DESJARDIN. I'M HERE AS A GRANDMOTHER. MY GRANDCHILDREN GO TO MABEL PAIN, AND I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS AN UPDATED TEACHER'S MANUAL. AH THAT COULD BE PRESENTED TO EVERY NEW HIRE AND TO BE PRESENTED TO EXISTING TEACHERS, WHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO SAY IN THE CLASSROOM? UH, I THINK THIS UM WOULD I KNOW TRUSTEE, ANDERSON SAID. YOU WERE WORKING ON A TEACHER'S MANUAL. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED OR NOT. BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE GUIDELINES OF WHAT TEACHERS CAN SAY IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES THAT ESPERANZA AH KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND NOW THIS INCIDENT AT EL DORADO, BUT AGAIN I DO. YOU WANT TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION AND HAVE A FAIR HEARING, BUT I DO THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A CURRENT MANUAL. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT. I DON'T LIKE TALKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, BUT I'M GOING TO DO THIS. I WAS LISTENING TO THE BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK OR LAST MONTH, AND I WAS LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE SPEAKING WITH REGARDS TO THE ELDER LIGHTS, AND I WAS I SHOULDN'T SAY APPALLED. I WAS ACTUALLY VERY SAD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WERE TALKING TALKING ABOUT . THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT A CERTAIN TIME IT WAS GOING TO DECREASE THEIR PROPERTY VALUES. I LIVE BEHIND ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL TO THE POINT THAT I CAN THROW A WATER BOTTLE TO MY NIECE ON THE TRACK FIELD. I SEE THE LIGHTS. I HEAR ALL OF THE BAND. IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE FAMILIES . IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH PEOPLE GOING TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. YOU CAN GET BLACKOUT SHADES IN YOUR ROOMS. YOU CAN MAKE THAT.AVAILABLE FOR THE STUDENTS TO NOT GET HURT, HAVE THE ABILITY TO ALLOW THEM TO PLAY THEIR SPORTS THAT THEY NEED TO PLAY AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE PARENTS DRIVE ALL OVER THE DISTRICT. IN ORDER TO GET THE MORE THEY NEED TO GO. SO I JUST I THINK THAT I THINK WE NEED TO PUT THE LIGHTS IN, AND I THINK WE'VE GOT THE MONEY FOR IT, AND WE JUST NEED TO DO IT.
SO MY NAME IS CHRIS AND I RUN A BUSINESS. I MANAGE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, AND I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IF ANY OF MY EMPLOYEES ENGAGED IN HIGHLY SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT IN THE WORKPLACE, THEY WOULD LIKELY BE REMOVED. CERTAINLY, THEY'D BE SEVERELY, UM UM DOCKED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT. WHAT MISS RAYBURN DID IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT? UM ALL OF THESE STUDENTS DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S REALLY SHOCKING. OKAY, I'LL JUST CAN WE ADD MY TIME AT THIS GUY'S GONNA INTERRUPT ME. OKAY? UM. AT THIS POINT. IT'S VERY SHOCKING AND VERY SAD THAT OUR DISTRICT IS AT THIS POINT WHERE WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER TO PROTECT THESE CHILDREN FROM THIS TYPE OF CONVERSATION IN THE WORKPLACE. I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING. WHICH IS TO, UH, HAVE A GUIDELINE AS MISS JUDY WAS TALKING ABOUT FOR OUR TEACHERS. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT UP. HAVE AN ANGEL. MIKE HARTMAN.
KOURTNEY. AND SUE SAWYER. THEY HAVEN'T GO AHEAD AND KICK US OFF. HI MY NAME IS EVAN ANGEL. I
[00:50:13]
AM A STUDENT OF ELDORADO IN MS ROBERTS CLASS. I TOOK ANATOMY TO LEARN JUST THAT. JUDY REBERG HAS BEEN THERE TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BODY. REGARDLESS OF HOW STUPID EMBARRASSING OR IN DEPTH THEY ARE. SHE IS A TEACHER WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES WHAT SHE DOES, AND HER STUDENTS. I HAVE FACED DISCRIMINATION FROM IDENTITY GROWING UP, SOME HAPPENING IN SCHOOLS BY PARENTS AND TEACHERS . REBERG HAS BEEN THERE TO SUPPORT ME AND OTHER STUDENTS, AND SHE HAS BEEN THERE TO GIVE IN DEPTH. SUPPORT AND LOVE FOR US AND AT THE SAME TIME, EDUCATING US IN DEPTH ABOUT WHATEVER WE ARE LEARNING IN ANATOMY. I BELIEVE HER CAREER SHOULD NOT BE ENDED BECAUSE SHE DID HER JOB. SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS NOT WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THAT CLASSROOM. I WAS THERE IN THAT CLASS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HER GIVING INSIGHT ON THIS QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED THANK YOU. I AM MIKE HARTMAN. I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO. FOR 25 YEARS I'VE LIVED ON BROOKHAVEN AVENUE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SCHOOL. AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE LIGHTS EVER SINCE. UM WE MOVED INTO THE COMMUNITY LIKE MOST PEOPLE HAVE BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE SUPPORT FOR OUR KIDS AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE. I'VE BEEN UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON IT BECAUSE I'VE HAD ONE SON ATTENDED VALENCIA AND PLAYED SOCCER SERVED ON THE ON THE BOARD COMMITTEE AS A STUDENT BEFORE JACKSON A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND MY CURRENT SON PLAY SOCCER AND FOOTBALL AT EL DORADO , AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTS FOR JACKSON. WHERE IT ALLOWED HIM TO TAKE 1/6 PERIOD CLASS ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY ON THERE AND TRULY BE A STUDENT ATHLETE. WHEN WE LOOK AT NOW AT ELDORADO. JULY AND AUGUST FOOTBALL PRACTICES AND 100 DEGREE HEAT. OR THE SOCCER GAMES THAT END AT DUSK. WHEN IT'S DARK. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR FOR THE STUDENTS OF ELDORADO. MY NAME IS SUE SAWYER. I'M A TEACHER AT ESPERANZA. I'M GOING TO READ FAST BECAUSE IT'S A MINUTE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOLDEN RULE AND OLD FASHIONED CIVILITY. WE WORKED TOO DANG HARD FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO TRY TO CATCH TEACHERS MAKING MISTAKE. OR TRY TO ENTRAP TEACHERS FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL INTERESTS. I ASSURE YOU, EVERY STUDENT TEACHER, ADMINISTRATOR PERSON AND PARENT IN THIS ROOM HAS MADE MISTAKES. IT'S HOW WE LEARN WE FAILED FIRST ATTEMPT IN LEARNING SOMETIMES STUDENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND, YES, EVEN PARENTS FAIL. OUR JOB IS TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS TO CATCH THEM DOING GOOD THINGS NOT TO CATCH THEM DOING BAD THINGS. SOMETIMES THEY DO BAD THINGS. THEY MAKE BAD CHOICES. THEY ARE AFTER ALL TEENAGERS, AND WE HAVE PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO PROTECT. OR TO PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION. YOU HAVE THE SAME FOR TEACHERS.THEIR PREFRONTAL CORTEX IS NOT YET FULLY DEVELOPED, SO THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES. I TRY TO ASSUME GOOD INTENTIONS WITH ALL PEOPLE, STUDENTS AND PARENTS. WE HAVE MORE. WE'VE BEEN ASKED MORE FORMALLY THE LAST THREE YEARS TO GRANT GRACE AND FIND WAYS TO HELP STUDENTS BECOME SUCCESSFUL.
I WOULD ASK PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO DO THE SAME LIFE'S BEEN PUT IN PERSPECTIVE. THE LAST TWO WEEKS. IT'S TOO SHORT. THANK YOU, MISS SAWYER WANT TO PUBLICLY HONOR MY FRIEND? THANK YOU, MISS SAWYER APPRECIATE THAT. WAS THERE. A COURTNEY THAT WANTED TO SPEAK. I HAVE A BLUE CARD FOR COURTNEY. NO ANY OUTSIDE COURTNEY'S. EXCELLENT. OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON. AH, NEXT FOUR UP LISA GOLDMAN. THIS LOOKS LIKE CAITLIN BERG. ANDY FALCO. YEAH AND BRENT D. IT'S ALTMAN WILL BE FIRST. HI GOOD EVENING. I'M LISA AULTMAN, P Y EL USD PARENT. I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS REGARDING THE ELDORADO TEACHER CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA TEACHING KIDS.
ABOUT MALE ON MALE SEX, SEXUAL PLEASURE OF THE PROSTATE. THE G SPOT BOOTY HOLES, VIBRATORS AND HOW TO USE THEM AND WHERE TO BUY THEM. THIS WAS A COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE, OBSCENE AND PERVERSE DISCUSSION BEING HAD BY THIS TEACHER WITH WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PAID FOR BY OUR
[00:55:02]
TAX DOLLARS. WHY IS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING TAUGHT IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS? BLUE APPROVED THIS MATERIAL. A SECOND ISSUE. I WANT TO RAISE HIS PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS THAT ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES WHO'S APPROVING THESE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT AND GRAPHIC MATERIALS BEING INTRODUCED INTO OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND WHY I'M NOT SENDING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY TO LEARN THIS GARBAGE BEING INTRODUCED BY SOME POLITICAL ACTIVIST TEACHER OR LIBRARIAN. THESE ACTIVISTS, TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS ARE ABUSING THEIR POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY TO TRY TO SEXUALIZED AND INDOCTRINATE OUR KIDS. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. MARK HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS CAITLIN BERG AND I WAS PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM KINDERGARTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. AND I HOPE THAT THIS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF THAT I AM HERE EIGHT YEARS AFTER TAKING MISS RAYBURN'S CLASS. LIKE THE YOUNG LADY THAT SPOKE AT THE BEGINNING, I RECEIVED AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION THAT IS DUE IN PART TO DEDICATED TEACHERS LIKE MRS RABER. GPI HAD A SERIOUS INJURY IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT REQUIRED AN INTENSIVE SURGERY AND WHILE RECOVERING, MRS RABER DEDICATED HER FREE TIME, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL TO HELPING ME CATCH AND KEEP UP IN CLASS. IF IT WASN'T FOR MRS RAYBURN, I WOULD NOT HAVE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF MRS RAY BERG. I GRADUATED ON TIME AND NOW HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN STEP. I LOOK UP TO WOMEN EXACTLY LIKE HER. THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY FORMER TEACHERS FOR HELPING ME MAKE ME SUCCESS. THE SUCCESSFUL PERSON I AM TODAY, ESPECIALLY MRS RAY BOURQUE. OKAY? THE LADY BEFORE SAID EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED TO SAY, AND I JUST SIMPLY WANT TO ADD TO THAT IS THAT SHE COULD BE BELOVED. SHE COULD BE HAVE DONE MANY WONDERFUL THINGS, BUT I BELOVED. I LOVE MY KIDS, BUT THEY STILL GET DISCIPLINED WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING STUPID, SO THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME DISCIPLINE AND I WILL. I WILL SUPPORT ANY DISCIPLINE FOR THAT TEACHER THAT IS FOUND FOR WHAT SHE DID. AS FAR AS THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO. THOSE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE INSTALLED. I GET. MY SON ALSO WAS ON THE MEN'S LACROSSE TEAM FOR THE SOPHOMORES AND BECAUSE OF THE SCHEDULING AND NOT HAVING THE LIGHTS, THEY ONLY PRACTICE TWICE BEFORE THE FIRST GAME. EVERY GAME WAS GETTING CANCELED BECAUSE THE SOCCER TEAM WAS ON THE ON THE FIELD OR SOME OTHER SPORT WAS BUSY TAKING THE FIELD AND THEY COULDN'T GET ON THERE. THEY WERE WALKING TO THE OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS JUST TO GET IN A LITTLE PRACTICE TIME.WE IT'S AMAZING THAT WE HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT UNDERNEATH THE GROUND TO INSTALL THESE LIGHTS, AND IT HASN'T BEEN BEEN DONE TO THIS POINT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY. ABSOLUTELY THANKS. OKAY.
I DID K THROUGH 12 IN THIS DISTRICT. UM MY KIDS ALSO AND. GROWING UP HERE, UM, I THINKING BACK ON MY TEACHERS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SHOCKED AND APPALLED TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF TALK GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOM AS I GREW UP HERE. YEAH IT'S A SUPER EASY ANSWER. ALL IT IS THAT'S NOT AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION FOR SCHOOL AND MOVING ON AND THAT'S IT. AND YOU KNOW, I FEEL BAD. I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY, THOUGH, IN THE REAL WORLD MISTAKES THEY LEAD TO CONSEQUENCES, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS FOR ALL OF US. OKAY UM, NEXT. FOR INCLUDES STEPHANIE DE . DERRICK BIRD BIRD, YOUR HONOR. SORRY. JACQUE LYNN AND TREVOR WONG.
HEY I'M STEPHANIE. I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OUT OF THE CONTEXT OF A Q AND A DISCUSSION AND REMIND YOU THAT THE BOOK KITE RUNNER IS STILL BEING TAUGHT IN LANGUAGE ARTS AT ELDORADO AND OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT. I WISH I COULD READ TO YOU WHAT THE MOM HAS CAUGHT ON PAGE SEVEN. BUT THERE'S A CIVILITY CAUSE HERE THAT DOESN'T LET ME DO THAT. ALSO CHAPTER SIX IS ABOUT THE FORCED RAPE OF A MALE CHILD. IT'S DESCRIBED. I CAN'T READ THAT HERE EITHER, AND I'VE GOTTEN IN TROUBLE FOR READING IT HERE, ACTUALLY. SO I'M GOING TO SKIP THAT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO READ IT, GO TO EL DORADOS LANGUAGE ARTS CLASS OR OTHER HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES WHERE THEY'RE HAPPY TO DISCUSS DISGUSTING WORDS AND CHILD RAPE WITH YOU. THANK YOU. DEREK. THIS IS MY FIRST BOARD MEETING. THIS IS WILD. GOOD EVENING SCHOOL MEMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS AND FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MY NAME IS DEREK BERGNER. I'M CONDENSED MATTER. EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICIST. I'M PUBLISHED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTABLE JOURNALS WITHIN MY FIELD
[01:00:02]
REGARDING THE RESEARCH I CONDUCTED AND I PRESENTED MY RESEARCH IN MULTIPLE NATIONAL CONFERENCES. I'VE JUST SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED MY MASTER'S THESIS AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY OF LONG BEACH. I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED TO MULTIPLE UNIVERSITIES FOR PHD POSITION, AND I WILL BE ATTENDING USC NEXT FALL FOR A FULL OF NEXT FALL ON A FULL SCHOLARSHIP. I'LL BE GIVEN MEDICAL AND DENTAL INSURANCE AND MOVING STIPEND AND LIVABLE SALARY WITHOUT MRS RAYBURN AND THE LATE MR OVERLY REST IN PEACE . I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY ANY OF THIS. I OWE THE SPARK OF MY CAREER TO MISS RAYBURN FOR NOT ONLY TEACHING ME THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SCIENCE BUT ALSO THE FUN. THROUGH HER TEACHINGS. I WAS ABLE TO FIND MY CAREER PATH BEFORE I COULD VOTE. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN SAY. NOWADAYS, MOST YOUNG KIDS NOWADAYS, THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD NOT BE WHERE I AM WITHOUT MRS RAYBURN.I UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE AND SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM THAT DEBATE NOW I SEE BOTH SIDES AND I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE FAIR TO GIVE A SUGGESTION FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION. HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THAT A PERSON SHOULD NOT LOSE THEIR LIVELIHOOD FOR GIVING HIM INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE TO MOST STUDENTS. NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR CHARNESS FOR COMMITTING THE MONTH OF JUNE TO SAFETY AWARENESS. THANK YOU FOR TAKING SWIFT ACTION WITH THE ELDORADO TEACHER WHO LEFT OFF GUIDE WHO WENT OFF GUIDE TO DISCUSS OBSCENE AND VULGAR MATERIAL BY HER REMOVAL YOU PRIOR TO PRIORITIZE KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE. THEY ARE NOT HER CHILDREN. THIS IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE DISTRICT THEIR DISTRICT NEEDS TO ADOPT PACING GUIDES FOR TEACHERS AND THEIR LEADERS NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE PACING GUIDES. I'VE HEARD THERE'S PACING GUIDES, BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE PRETTY WEAK. IF THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE. UM I'LL ADD. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE FOLLOW UP TO WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WITH OBSCENE AND VULGAR BOOKS IN OUR LIBRARIES. OUR LIBRARIES NEED AN AUDIT. AND, UM, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THESE BOOKS ARE STILL IN THE LIBRARY AND LAST BOARD MEETING. I THINK ONE OF THE PEOPLE HANDED YOU THE ACTUAL LONGER PICTURES AND THOSE BOOKS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE LIBRARY. UM IF I COULD PLEASE GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO DISMISS TEACHERS WHO TEACH INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS. THANK YOU. OKAY OKAY. HELLO MY NAME IS TREVOR WONG AND I'M A SENIOR ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL, A DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR AND A STUDENT ATHLETE.

MAY HAVE TOLD YOU ONLINE OTHERWISE, WHAT SHE SAID IN THAT CLASSROOM WAS DEFINITELY NOT SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND WAS ANSWERED IN RESPONSE TO ANONYMOUS STUDENT ASKED Q AND A IN AN OPTIONAL ELECTIVE ANATOMY CLASS AND WAS DONE IN GOOD FAITH , LIKE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE SAID BEFORE ME AS A CHRISTIAN, I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE. AND JUST AS SO MANY OTHER SECOND CHANCES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO ME AND SO MANY OTHERS BY THIS DISTRICT IMPLORE YOU. THE BOARD OF THE PLACENTA YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TO GIVE MRS RABER HIS SECOND CHANCE AND LET HER RETURN TO THE JOB AND THE STUDENTS THAT SHE LOVES SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

BUT THE ECONOMICS I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH, UH, ADDITIONAL, UM, PICTURES AND IT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A SCIENCE AND A SOCIAL SCIENCE BOOK. UM JUST ON THE ECONOMICS. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY THAT PARTICULAR ONE, BUT THE REST OF THEM I DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH. I REALLY ENJOYED LOOKING THROUGH THEM AND LEARNING A BIT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UM. I THOUGHT THE IMPACT ONES WERE REALLY WELL DONE. AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DETAIL AND I'M AND, UM SO I THINK THOSE ONES WERE GREAT.

YOU KNOW, AS I AND I KEPT READING MORE AND MORE CHAPTERS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT CHAPTER OR IF IT WAS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK, SO IN THE END, UM I REALLY LIKED A LOT OF THAT. WHAT WAS DONE IN THERE? UM, SOME CHAPTERS WERE I THOUGHT SPARSELY COVERED. UM AND I'LL JUST GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THAT , AND MY HOPE IS THAT WE ENCOURAGE OUR TEACHERS. UM WHEN WE WHEN THEY'RE TEACHING THESE CURRICULUMS TO REALLY GO BACK. TWO PRIMARY SOURCES AND REALLY TEACH THEM, UM IN WHAT? IN THE ONE BOOK, UM. IT TALKED ABOUT DURING THE CIVIL WAR. YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO, UM GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. THERE'S A BULLET POINT FOR THE 13TH AMENDMENT. THERE'S ONE BULLET POINT FOR THE 14TH AMENDMENT, AND ONE BULLET POINT FOR THE 15TH AMENDMENT, AND, UM THERE WAS JUST A LOT THAT I FELT LIKE WAS MISSING. BUT THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE, YOU KNOW, READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE AND TEACHERS CAN PULL THEM AND DO MORE. I JUST FEEL LIKE SO MANY TIMES WE JUST BRUSH ON HISTORY INSTEAD OF REALLY DIVING INTO AND SO UM, BUT BUT THEN OTHER CHAPTERS WERE REALLY GREAT AND GAVE SO MUCH DETAIL LIKE THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. UM, YOU KNOW, UM THEY COVERED SO MANY, UM, OF THE SPEECHES AND THE COURT CASES REALLY IN DEPTH. AND I LOVE THAT. SO IT WAS JUST KIND OF LIKE A MIX, BUT I THINK AT THE END THAT THESE BOOKS ARE, YOU KNOW. WILL SUPPORT AND I THINK YOU KNOW, AS OUR TEACHERS USE THEIR SKILLS TO REALLY PULL IN THOSE PRIMARY SOURCES. I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. WELL I APPRECIATE THAT, AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU KNOW, AS WE DO OUR SUMMER TRAININGS ON THE FRAMEWORK AND ON THE TEXTBOOK. THOSE ARE THINGS WE CAN SHARE AND INCORPORATE INTO THAT INFORMATION. YOU KNOW, THEY LOOK THROUGH THE SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO MATCH UP THAT FRAMEWORK WITH ALL OF THE SECTIONS IN THE TEXTBOOK AND REALLY TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF THAT'S COVERED SO IT'S DEFINITELY FEEDBACK WILL SHARE. THANKS. I JUST WANT TO AGREE WITH MR ANDERSON. THERE WAS A PORTION IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS SECTION THERE IN WHICH HALF A PAGE WAS DEDI DEDICATED TO BLM, WHICH I WAS A LITTLE CURIOUS OF WHY THAT WAS IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS SECTION. BUT FOR 99.9% OF THE OTHER BOOK. THE OTHER PORTIONS WERE PERFECTLY FINE. AND I'M SURE GIVEN THE TEACHERS. UM.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS. FIRST CERTIFICATED STAFF GRADES 6 TO 12 TO ATTEND SUMMER INSTITUTE TRAINING IN JUNE AND AUGUST. OF 2023 2ND. SO MY QUESTION IS, AS OUR GRADES HAVE , OR ARE SCORES GRADES, THINGS LIKE THAT CONTINUED TO DECLINE. WHAT CAN YOU TELL THE PUBLIC? WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT? UM, HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE HANDLING THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THIS SUMMER TO BETTER SERVE OUR STUDENTS IN THE FALL WHEN THEY COME BACK. LIKE WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WHAT HAVE WE ADDED? THANK YOU FOR THAT THAT QUESTION, AND THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AT THIS WILL.ARE YOU ASKING SPECIFICALLY AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL? YOU WANTING FOR ALL GRADES K THROUGH 12TH GRADE. UM YEAH. 6 TO 12. OKAY ONE OF THE ADDITIONS THAT WE HAVE ADDED SPECIFICALLY IS A FOCUS ON DIFFERENTIATION, WHICH SPECIFICALLY, YOU DL WHICH REALLY ALLOWS FOR TEACHERS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOM REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITIES, REGARDLESS OF THEIR, UH THEY BACKGROUNDS OR THEIR LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY, AND SO THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING WE'RE WANTING TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON. SPECIFICALLY A BIG PART FOR SECONDARY IS ALSO WITH THE NEW HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM. WE'RE OFFERING THAT AS PART OF THE TRAINING TO BE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE THE TOOLS AND THEY'RE EQUIPPED WITH THE NEEDS THAT THEY THAT THEY REQUIRE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO INSTRUCTING AND USE ON NEW MATERIALS EFFECTIVELY. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE OFFERING A VARIETY OF COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS TO COME TOGETHER TO. IT WAS MAINTAINED EARLIER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BUT REALLY BRINGING ON PACING, GUIDES AND BUILDING OF ASSESSMENTS TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ASSESSING WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT. AND SO THAT REALLY WILL ALLOW FOR OUR TEACHERS TO BE NOT ONLY TRAINED IN THOSE AREAS BUT ALSO TO ALLOW FOR COLLABORATION FOR THEM TO BUILD THE PACING GUIDES, BUT ALSO ENSURE THAT THE ASSESSMENTS WERE USING ARE ARE EFFECTIVE. I KNOW THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING TO MIND. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A FULL MENU OF OPTIONS. I MEAN, IT WAS. IT TOOK US A GOOD GOODNESS FOR FOUR MONTHS THAT WE HAD ALL OF OUR IT ITS SERVICES STAFF. WE HAD ALL OF OUR TEACHERS AND OUR HOST IS INVOLVED IN BUILDING A LOT OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE IN SOME OF THEM ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS WHO ARE COMING AND THAT WE'RE PARTNERING WITH TO PROVIDE SOME OF THAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL. AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO OFFER IN THE PAST. YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE SUMMER. WE HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. AND SO FOR THAT REASON, WE'RE EXCITED. IN ADDITION TO THAT IT IS WE'RE ABLE TO. WE'VE INCREASED THE HOURLY RATE FOR OUR TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO REALLY COMPENSATE THEM WELL AND AGAIN. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IN THE PAST. AND I WOULD EVEN SAY LOOKING BACK AT THE PAST THREE YEARS WHERE YOU KNOW, SINCE COVID. WE REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO OFFER MUCH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT ALL, BECAUSE TYPICALLY A MODEL IN THE PAST WAS ALWAYS TO OFFER IT DURING THE DAY. YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL DAYS WHERE WE CAN HAVE SUBS. SO AGAIN, THAT ALONE IS DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE THAT WE'RE OFFERING JUST THIS ROBUST MENU OF OFFERINGS DURING THE SUMMER. BUT I CAN ABSOLUTELY PROVIDED A COPY OF, YOU KNOW OF ADDITIONAL TRAININGS THAT ARE NOT COMING TO MIND FOR ME RIGHT NOW, OF COURSE, IS JUST A SAMPLING. AND SO I KNOW THAT YOU MENTIONED PACING GUIDES AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE DO HAVE PACING GUIDES AND STANDARDS. AND I THINK WE'RE FINDING OUT THAT WE DON'T CAN WE ENSURE THAT WE WILL HAVE PACING GUIDES AND STANDARDS IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT YEAR? WE HAVE THE STANDARDS IN PLACE. BUT REALLY THE PACING GUIDES WILL ALLOW US TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSISTENCY IN IN WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT, RIGHT ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS, WE'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN THE AL CAPP ON EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON.
FOR NEXT YEAR. WE'RE FOCUSING PREDOMINANTLY WHITE IN LANGUAGE ARTS AND IN MATH. OUR FIRST BECAUSE IT IT TAKES IT TAKES TIME WERE ALSO WANTING TO LOOK AT SCIENCE AND HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCE, BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT SCIENCE WE'VE WE'VE JUST ADOPTED THAT A YEAR AGO NEW MATERIALS AND THEN HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCE AS WELL WILL BE OUR FOCUS AND REALLY THEN FROM YOU KNOW, ONCE WE HAVE THAT IN PLACE FOR A YEAR, THE FOCUS WITHIN FALLING INTO OTHER CONTENT AREAS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. ABSOLUTELY WE HAVE THOSE IN PLACE MOVING INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FOR BOTH MATH AND LANGUAGE ARTS, AND THE GOAL IS TO START THAT WORK DURING THE SUMMER. FOR SAME, IT'LL BE SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SCIENCE AS WELL AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. AND SO MY QUESTION IS. DOES THIS HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL? OR CAN THE TEACHERS AT THE CERTAIN SITES LIKE, SAY THE DIFFERENT GRADES? CAN THEY GET
[01:20:02]
TOGETHER AND WORK ON PACING GUIDES SO WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE GET THIS DONE? TEACHERS WILL BE INVOLVED IN THAT WORK, BUT REALLY THE REQUESTS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM FROM TEACHERS SPECIFICALLY AND FROM THE SCHOOL SCIENCES TO REALLY HAVE THAT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL SO WE CAN HAVE CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD. BUT WE ABSOLUTELY NEED THE TEACHERS INVOLVEMENT IN THAT THERE'S NO WAYS OUR YOU KNOW, TOAST. ASSORTED SERVICES TEAM COULD DO THAT ALONE. AND SO THE INTENTION IS YES, WE'RE BRINGING TOGETHER TEACHERS AND WE'RE PAYING THEM FOR THAT WORK DURING THE SUMMER WAS STARTING THE WORK AND THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR THAT TO CONTINUE THEM THROUGH NEXT YEAR. OKAY, THANK YOU. OF COURSE. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. ALRIGHT LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE ON THIS ALL IN FAVOR. I KNOW. POSE MOTION CARRIES FIPE NUMBER 36 MS BLEED. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH FILM ED ACADEMY OF THE ARTS FOR ELDORADO, ESPERANZA VALENCIAN NORMAL AND HIGH SCHOOLS FOR THE 2023 2024 SCHOOL YEAR, SECOND IS THIS IS THIS AN ENHANCEMENT OF WHAT THEY HAVE? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A PRETTY GREAT PROGRAM AS IT IS AT ALL FOUR OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND SO ARE WE UPPING THE ANTE OR IS THIS JUST A RENEWAL OF WHAT WE'VE HAD? WELL THERE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PARTS TO THAT QUESTION. SO WE ARE. WE ARE RENEWING WHAT WE HAD IN PLACE LAST YEAR IN THIS I UNDERSTAND THAT. YES, IT'S THE OFFERINGS THAT WE PROVIDE ALREADY FOR THROUGH SERVICES, BUT THIS SPECIFICALLY GOES TOWARDS PAYING FOR THE VIDEO YEARBOOKS FOR EVERY SINGLE STUDENT, SO THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE COST IS INVOLVED, AND YOU MAY RECORD TWO YEARS AGO THERE WAS A REQUEST, IN FACT, FROM CERTAIN BOARD MEMBERS WERE ONLY BEING ABLE TO THE COST WAS FALLING ON THE SCHOOL SITES. AND SO THERE WERE ONLY SOME SCHOOLS WHO WERE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT, AND SO REALLY I THIS INCREASE TO THIS COST WAS INTENDED TO ALLOW FOR EQUITY ACROSS ALL FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS. SO THAT WAS THE THIS IS AMAZING.AND I WANTED EVERYBODY TO KNOW THIS. THANK YOU FOR SHOWCASING THAT. AND THEN THE NEXT 10. WE HAVE GOT TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THAT. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. MOTION CARRIES 50 AND NUMBER 37. UM I MAKE A MOTION TO FOR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WITH TURN IT IN FOR ALL SECONDARY AND ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION SCHOOLS IN THE PLACENTA OVER LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 2023 2024 SCHOOL YEAR. SECOND. SO MY ONLY QUESTION ABOUT THIS IN. WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH A LOT OF THE PARENTS ABOUT THE WRITING, AND THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THEIR KIDS ARE WRITING ENOUGH ESSAYS AND, YOU KNOW, READING OF BOOKS. AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER PROGRAM. UM THAT BASICALLY TALKS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PLAGIARISM AND CERTAIN THINGS. I REALLY HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ENGLISH TEACHER AT NORMAL IN HIGH SCHOOL. WHO THE WAY THAT SHE FIGHTS. PLEASURE IS, UM, IS THESE KIDS ARE ACTUALLY DOING UM, WRITING THE OLD SCHOOL WAY AND THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO GET ALL OF THEIR SOURCES. THEY HAVE TO GET WHATEVER IT IS. THEY HAVE TO GET IT TOGETHER, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO TURN IT INTO HER AND SHE LOOKS AT IT APPROVES IT GIVES IT BACK. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY OR THE NEXT WEEK. WHATEVER IT IS, THEY COME BACK IN WITH MORE SOURCES. WHATEVER IT IS THEY NEED. SHE APPROVES IT, AND THEN YOU WRITE THE ESSAY IN THE CLASSROOM AND YOU'RE WRITING. YOU KNOW YOU'RE WRITING IT OUT AND I THINK THAT IS THE KEY HERE TO DEAL WITH PLAGIARISM, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT WRITING. THEY'RE NOT USING COMPUTER AND THEY'RE NOT. THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT. I MEAN, THAT'S THE PUREST FORM. AND SO I FEEL LIKE WITH THIS TEACHER. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY WHO IT IS. IT'S MRS DAGON PAT AT EUROPOL IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND SHE WAS AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING TEACHER. HER WHOLE CLASS LOVES HER. BUT AND THEN, UM OTHER PARENTS WHOSE KIDS ARE IN THERE EVERYONE IS JUST VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT IS SHE IS DOING FOR THESE KIDS, AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT ONLINE . IT'S ACTUALLY DELVING INTO THESE BOOKS, AND IT'S GOING BACK TO ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, DOING THE WORK AND THE PREPARATION AND SO I'M WONDERING IS IF DO WE NEED THIS STUFF, LIKE, TURN IT IN TO SPEND THE TYPE OF MONEY FOR THAT, UM OR DO WE ACTUALLY JUST REALLY DIVE BACK INTO WRITING ESSAYS? BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF PARENTS HAVE SAID HEY, MY KID IS ONLY WRITTEN ONE ESSAY THIS ENTIRE YEAR. HOW ARE THEY GONNA BE READY FOR NINTH GRADE? AND SO IS IT A FOCUS THAT WE NEED TO TURN TO, INSTEAD OF THE PLAGIARISM SIZE AND ALL THAT STUFF TO CATCH THE KIDS. IS THERE A REASON THAT THEY HAVE TO PLAY YOUR EYES OR YOU KNOW, OR DO THEY NOT? HAVE THE TOOLS MAYBE WRITE THE PAPER. AND SO SHOULD WE, MAYBE FOCUS BACK ON THE BASICS WITH MY QUESTION, AND SO JUST EXPERIENCING THIS AS A PARENT THAT'S MY THOUGHT, SO I WILL SPEAK TO WRITING IN GENERAL . UM AND THEN, UM, I WILL PASS IT OVER TO DR ADAMSON. UM UH, AS A READER AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC. WRITING WAS THE UM THE LARGEST ACADEMIC LEARNING DEFICIT FOR ALL STUDENTS.
BECAUSE WHEN THEY WERE AT HOME FOR A YEAR AND A HALF OR TWO YEARS THEY DIDN'T DO MUCH WRITING AT ALL. SOME DIDN'T WRITE AT ALL. UM SO DURING ZOOM SCHOOL, YOU KNOW YOU COULD GET
[01:25:06]
THROUGH MATH. YOU CAN GET THROUGH SCIENCE, BUT YOU WEREN'T WRITING ESSAYS. AND SO MUCH OF WRITING, AS YOU SAID, IS, UM, OFTENTIMES IN CLASS, GETTING SUPPORT FROM THE TEACHERS RIGHT AND GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THE TEACHERS. SO UM, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS HUGE DEFICITS IN WRITING, UM AT ALL LEVELS AND THIS DISTRICT. UM WE'LL HAVE TO INVEST IN, UM IN MORE WRITING.UM, AND THAT'S THROUGH TRAINING THROUGH SUPPORT, AND IT'S FOR PROGRAMS. SO UM, THAT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE THAN THAN YOU KNOW WHETHER WHETHER OR NOT WE PURCHASED THIS FOR THE PLEDGERS PIECE, BUT IT'S RELATED. UM SO WE WILL COME BACK WITH, UM, PLANS TO, UH TO INVEST IN WRITING IN OUR DISTRICT, AND EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, STUDENTS WERE WRITING LESS THAN THEY WERE EVEN 10 YEARS AGO. UM YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SEE EVEN I SEE MY OWN KIDS. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE.
IT'S EVOLVED FROM AUTO COMPLETE TO, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL JUST HIT THE MICROPHONE AND TALK INTO THE INTO THE IPAD OR COMPUTER AND THE SENTENCES WILL COME OUT. RIGHT. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST THERE'S INHERENT TECHNOLOGY. NOW ASIDE FROM A I THAT IS ALLOWING KIDS TO WRITE LESS, AND IT'S A LIFELONG SKILL THAT KIDS ARE GOING TO NEED WHEN THEY GO TO COLLEGE AND BEYOND. UM AND MANY STUDENTS WILL COME BACK AND TELL YOU THAT, UM IF THEY GOT A SOLID EDUCATION AND THEY HAD GREAT WRITING TEACHERS. IT CARRIED THEM THROUGH THROUGH COLLEGE AND INTO THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. SO IT'S A HUGE ISSUE. IT'S A TOPIC WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS HERE. MHM. THAT WAS BEAUTIFULLY SAID WELL, SAID. DR CHEN IS AND I THINK THE ONLY PIECE I WOULD ADD TO THAT IS THAT IT HAS BEEN A TOOL THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE, YOU KNOW, BEEN RELYING ON FOR A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT REASONS. IT'S YES, IT'S A TOOL TO HELP DEVELOP WRITING SKILLS, BUT IT'S ALSO A TOOL FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE TO, YOU KNOW TO VERIFY AND IN FACT, TAKE SOME OF SOME OF THE WRITING ITSELF. BUT I DO LOVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO EARLIER. I THINK THOSE ARE ORDERS. THOSE ARE ALL GOOD PRACTICES. AND I HAVE EVERY FAITH THAT THAT MANY OF OUR TEACHERS ARE FOLLOWING THROUGH AND HAVE THOSE PRACTICES IN PLACE. BUT YOU KNOW, I WENT. I THINK WE WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE CONTINUED TO OFFER THE PROGRAM AND PERHAPS THE NEXT YEAR TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW OTHER OTHER OPTIONS, AND IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO RELY ON? I KNOW THAT WITH THE ADVANCEMENTS OF AI AND YOUR CHAT GPT BEING, YOU KNOW, ONE PARTICULAR YOUR PROGRAM RIGHT NOW THAT IS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS AT THIS, YOU KNOW, SERVICE AS A VERY RELIABLE TOOL. BUT AGAIN, I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO AT LEAST HAVE THAT UP THE GIFT OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO EXPLORE AND POSSIBLY AS IF THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS OUT THERE. BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR. YOU JUST SAID WHAT I WAS GOING TO BRING UP NEXT IS WITH THE ADVENT OF A I CHAT, GPT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT THE SCARY PART ABOUT IT. THERE'S ALSO LEARNING TO USE THAT TOOL AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO WHEN THEY GO INTO THE WORKFORCE. THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT BE GIVEN A PENCIL AND A PIECE OF PAPER.
THEY'RE GONNA BE GIVEN AN IPAD OR COMPUTER SO BEING ABLE TO BLEND THOSE WORLDS, I THINK IS IMPORTANT. HAVING A TOOL LIKE THIS THAT HELPS PROTECT AGAINST THE BAD PART OF A I, BUT THEN AGAIN, IF THEY LEARN TO USE THE TOOL, WELL, IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THEM IN THE FUTURE. AND THAT WAS THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. SO UM, I THINK IT MAKES SENSE IF IT'S IF THERE'S A BETTER TOOL THAN LOOK. LET'S LOOK AT THAT. IF THERE'S BETTER STRATEGIES, LET'S USE THOSE SO BUT I'M ALL ABOUT USING THE TOOLS THAT SETS THEM UP FOR SUCCESS AFTER SCHOOL. FOR SURE.
I'M GLAD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A I AND CHAT GPT AND ALL THIS BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT HOW WE TEACH OUR KIDS TO UTILIZE THAT IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY THAT HELPS THEM AND NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS . UM THERE'S IF YOU HAVE TIME, UM, CAUGHT US ALL CON FROM THE KHAN ACADEMY. DID TED TALK ABOUT CHAT DBT AND HOW THEY'RE USING IT TO UM TO TUTOR KIDS, AND SO INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM THE ANSWERS THE CHAT GPT WILL WILL. UM WE'LL PULL A QUESTION THAT WILL PULL MORE OUT OF THE KID AND MAKE THEM SEARCH A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS, AND IT'S CHANGING EDUCATION. THEY SAY 2023 IS THE YEAR OF AI. SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE THE ON THE FOREFRONT OF THAT AND NOT CHASING IT AND TRYING TO CATCH IT ON THE BACK END? SO I LOVE THE CONVERSATION. YEAH. ALL I WOULD JUST WANT TO KNOW IS THAT THE KIDS? CAN RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO WRITE AND THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DISCOURAGE FROM CHEATING . SO THIS COULD BE A BLENDER.
BUT YES. DO THE RIGHT CURSIVE OR DO THEY WRITE BLOCK? OKAY OKAY. THAT'S TOO MUCH. I APOLOGIZE.
ALL RIGHT. UM OKAY, SO WE HAVE, UH, ITEM 37 IS OPEN. WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THAT ALL
[01:30:07]
