[MINUTES]

[PUBLIC HEARINGS]

WE'LL START OFF WITH THE DOCTOR ARE MISTER DAVID GIORDANO SHOULD BE DOCTOR. BUT LET'S NOT THANK YOU. AND GOOD EVENING LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU, MR GARY DAVIS , WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WITH CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, ALSO KNOWN AS C, R. L. A WHO PRESENT

[00:10:01]

PERSONALLY, I'VE AH! NO. FOR THE LAST OVER DECADE. I'VE I'VE STUDIED CLASSICAL SCHOOLS, LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS. OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS VISITED ANALYZED IN A PART OF STARTING ONE, AND IT'S THE COMBINATION OF SORT OF ALL THAT RESEARCH THAT HAS LED US TO THE SPECIFIC CRL, A ACADEMIC PROGRAM AND MISSION AND VISION AND WHAT YOU HAVE IS WHAT WE HAVE IS UNIQUE. IT'S A CLASSICAL LEADERSHIP EDUCATIONAL MODEL THAT FOCUSES ON THE CIVIC AND ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP.

USES THE FRANKLIN COVEY LEADER AND MEET CURRICULUM AND THAT ITS FOUNDATION IS A CLASSICAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOL, AND IT'S REALLY LIKE THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT DO MAYBE ONE OF THOSE THINGS, BUT WE ARE WE ARE UNIQUE IN THAT WE DO ALL THREE OF THOSE TOGETHER. OUR VISION IS TO INSPIRE AND EMPOWER THE NEXT GENERATION OF CALIFORNIA'S LEADERS TO EXCEL ACADEMICALLY PROUD AMERICANS PROUD CALIFORNIANS AND TO IMPACT THE WORLD WITH EXCELLENCE DERIVED FROM AN EDUCATION LIKE THAT, WHICH PRODUCED THE INSPIRED SERVANT LEADERS WHO FOUNDED OUR GREAT NATION, SO IN SHORT, WE HOPE TO HELP HELP RAISE THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. VALUES OF ANY CHARTER SCHOOL ARE REALLY KIND OF WHAT DEFINE IT. IT'S FLAVORED

[00:15:07]

WE WILL BE. WE WILL HAVE A STRONG MISSION ALIGNED CULTURE THAT WILL BEGIN EACH DAY WITH THE DAILY VIRTUE. READING WILL REALLY WORK HARD TO BUILD A CULTURE OF RESPECT ON CAMPUS AND WILL BE S O. B S. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT WOULD BE A SAFE PLACE FOR FORMER HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR CURRENT. UM, A CURRENT SCHOOL IS A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT HAVE OPTED OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM ARE COMING BACK BECAUSE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH OUR CURRICULUM IN OUR CULTURE. SO I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER FOR RUNNING. THAT TIME I WANT TURNED OVER TO OUR SCHOOL LEADER, BRITNEY WHO I KNOW YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS, BUT LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU IN PERSON AT THE AUGUST MEETING. THANK YOU. SO WHEN NOT ONLY THINKING ABOUT MY OWN CHILDREN AND THEIR EDUCATION BUT ALSO FUTURE STUDENTS. THE GOALS OF CRL A TRULY ARE LIKE NO OTHER SCHOOL. SO ONE OF THE FIRST GOALS IS TO DEVELOP THINKERS, ENTREPRENEURS AND STATESMAN WITH CHARACTER COMPETENCE IN THE CAPACITY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND TO DO IT WITH EXCELLENCY AND EVERY FIELD TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, STUDENTS ARE GIVING COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN LEARNING THIS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE THEM NOT ONLY TO ASK QUESTIONS BUT TO FIND ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS. THEY WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO DESIGN AND CREATE.

WHILE BUILDING UPON THEIR OWN IDEAS, NOT JUST IDEAS GIVEN TO THEM IN A TEXTBOOK. THEY WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEAD AND LEARN WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO BE A LEADER THAT REPRESENTS HONESTY , SERVANT HOOD, INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, CONFIDENCE, HUMILITY IN CREATIVITY. IN MY CAREER AS AN ADMINISTRATOR, I HAVE FIRSTHAND WITNESSED, UM, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE LITERATURE, LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND HOW IT BUILDS UP CONFIDENCE, AND IT NOT ONLY CREATES AMAZING LEADERS, BUT IT ALSO CAUSES STUDENTS TO THRIVE ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY WHEN THOSE WERE AREAS OF CONCERN PRIOR AND WE WILL NOURISH THE FREEDOM AND INSTRUCT THE PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY. THEY WILL LEARN TO MAINTAIN THESE FREEDOMS BY BEING TAUGHT CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. THEY WILL PARTICIPATE IN SOCRATIC SEMINARS , WHICH REQUIRE A STUDENT TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES, UM, THEY WILL HAVE TO LINK A SOURCE TEXT IN REAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. INSTEAD OF RELYING SOLELY ON TEXTBOOKS. THEY WILL BE GIVING COUNTLESS PRIMARY SOURCES TO ANALYZE, INTERPRET AND FORM THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS FOR THEMSELVES. WE HAVE A GOAL TO PRODUCE CITIZENS WHO WILL INTERNALIZE THE SKILLS AND METHODS AND STRUCTURE OF THE EDUCATION. THEY RECEIVE IT C R L A SO THAT THEY CAN GO FORTH AND HEAL A BROKEN SOCIETY, PRESERVE FREEDOM AND ENSURE PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR HUMANITY. THEY WILL LEAVE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE UNIQUE TALENTS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THEMSELVES, AND THEY ARE MEANT TO BE A NOBLE SERVICE TO THOSE AROUND THEM. FINALLY WE HAVE THE GOAL TO PRODUCE SELF MOTIVATED, COMPETENT AND LIFELONG LEARNERS . STUDENTS WHO AREN'T AFRAID TO GET BACK UP AND TRY AGAIN. STUDENTS WHO LEARN WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO COMPLETE AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHOUT NEEDING OUTSIDE INCENTIVE AND STUDENTS WHO WILL HAVE THE SKILLS AND YEARNING TO CONTINUALLY LEARN AND GROW. SO AFTER EXPLAINING OUR MISSION STATEMENT AND GOALS . WE HAD A GREAT RESPONSE WHEN WE WENT INTO THE COMMUNITY FOR A PETITION SIGNATURES AND TO EVALUATE THE DEMAND IN JUST A FEW WEEKS, WE OBTAINED ALMOST 200 SEPARATE FAMILIES, WHICH TOTALS UP TO JUST UNDER THE PLANNED ENROLLMENT FOR THE FIRST YEAR. MANY OF THESE SIGNATURES COME FROM FAMILIES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR HOME SCHOOLED, WHICH WOULD BRING MORE OF THESE FAMILIES BACK INTO PUBLIC EDUCATION. ALSO WHILE ACQUIRING PARENT SIGNATURES, WE OBTAINED SEVEN CREDENTIAL TEACHER SIGNATURES WHO HAVE A STRONG INTEREST IN TEACHING AT CRL A. THIS TOTALS TO OVER HALF THE TEACHING STAFF NEEDS FOR THE

[00:20:02]

RESPONSIVE AND THAT YOU KNOW THAT SORT OF FOUNDATIONAL. I THINK KIND OF FOUNDATIONAL ANSWER. UM BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT WE GROW TO A POINT WHERE YOU'RE YOU WOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF US AS THE SCHOOL WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY, AND YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE THEY PUT THE CHARTER SCHOOLS AS EXAMPLE, AS AN EXAMPLE ON THEIR WEBSITE AND SAY, THESE ARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A LOT OF COMMUNITIES. SO UM AND YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, SHARING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER. UM YOU YOU YOU DO AS A DISTRICT HAVE BEEN AROUND MUCH LONGER THAN US.

WE WOULD HAVE AT THIS POINT MORE TO LEARN FROM YOU THAN YOU FROM US. BUT MAYBE ONE DAY THAT COULD BE MUTUAL. SO THOSE ARE A FEW IDEAS. I THINK OF HOW HOW I THINK WE CAN WORK TOGETHER, AND I'M SURE WE COULD. WE COULD DEVELOP A LOT MORE AS WE HEAD DOWN THE PATH. HMM. OKAY I HAVE , UM, QUESTION COUPLE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SIGNATURES. UM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE SIGNATURES REPRESENT FAMILIES FROM THE PLACENTIA? YORBA LINDA? AREA. UM. I JUST I DID. SHE DOESN'T HAVE THAT NUMBER ON HAND, OKAY? I DID SOME QUICK CHECKING THROUGH YOUR APPENDIX.

I AND THIS IS REALLY ROUGH NUMBERS, BUT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS 35 RESIDENTS FROM PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA, REPRESENTING 48 STUDENTS. SO I'M JUST CURIOUS. HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO REACH YOUR, UM. YOUR GOAL. WHEN A LOT OF THESE SIGNATURES COME FROM LIKE BURBANK, PARAMOUNT COMPTON AND HUNTINGTON'S BEACH AND OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS. I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THAT QUESTION. THE THING ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS IS THEY DON'T HAVE BOUNDARIES SO REQUIREMENT TO ATTEND A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL IS THAT YOU'RE A RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU YOU'RE UNIQUELY SITUATED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ANOTHER RIGHT ACROSS THE FREEWAY FROM ANOTHER ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO I DO BELIEVE IN. IN REALITY, WE WILL PROBABLY DRAW FROM MUCH WIDER, WIDER RADIUS THAN JUST JUST THE PLACENTIA YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND IN ADDITION AND THIS THIS BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL THAT I HELPED US HELPED TO FOUND IN THEIR CURRENT ONE. WE CAN LOOK AT THE REGISTRATION NUMBERS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT ROUGHLY A THIRD

[00:25:03]

UM MY PASSION IS LEADERSHIP, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU HAVE SERVED IN A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER CITY COUNCILMAN MAYOR, YOU KNOW. I HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF IN THE WAY THAT I HAVE ALWAYS SERVED.

MY COMMUNITY IS THROUGH, YOU KNOW, SERVICE THROUGH TRUE SERVICE. UM AND I HAVE A REAL PASSION FOR COMMUNITY SERVANT. COMMUNITY SERVICE BASED LEADERSHIP. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF WAYS BUT SERVING THE COMMUNITY AS A WAY TO, YOU KNOW, DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND RAISING YOUNG PEOPLE TO LEAD OUR COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE. EITHER COMMUNITY OR STATE OR NATION ORGANIZATIONS ARE PART OF THEIR FAMILIES. SO I GUESS IT'S A LONG WAY OF SAYING IS THIS IS ACTUALLY MY VISION THAT I'VE REALLY DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST 11 YEARS. AND SO YEAH, I'M 100% INVESTED IN SO LONG AS OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL HAVE ME AS THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I WILL. I WILL BE WITH THE ORGANIZATION. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT ITS FUTURE. THANK YOU. AND THEN THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION. UM YOU TALK ABOUT SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS AND FINANCIAL LITERACY. UM EMBEDDED INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND YOU DO HAVE A LARGE SECTION IN YOUR NOTEBOOK THAT I HAVEN'T READ THROUGH ALL THE DETAILS ON CURRICULUM. IS THERE EXAMPLES OF THOSE TYPE OF LESSONS LISTED IN THERE? OR YOU WOULD DEFINITELY FIND SOME I WILL SAY AND I YOU KNOW, AND I APOLOGIZE. CERTAINLY THE SIZE OF THE DOCUMENT. IT'S KIND OF HOW THINGS HAVE GONE WITH CHARTER SCHOOL PETITIONS AND OUR DESIRE. BUT OUR DESIRE WHAT OUR DESIRE WAS TO SHOW YOU UM, IS IN GREAT DETAIL, SORT OF SOME EXAMPLES OF THE OF THE CURRICULUM THAT THAT ITS SCOPE AND SEQUENCE AND BREAKING DOWN A GRADE EVEN AND BY WEEK SHORT THREE EXAMPLES OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE'LL BE USING.

SO, UM UH UM. I BELIEVE SOME OF THAT IS IN THERE. BUT UM, BUT ALSO BUT IT'S OTHER BUT OTHERS WILL STILL BE DEVELOPED. FRANKLY JUST TO BE JUST TO BE FRANK, RIGHT. SO LIKE, AS YOU KNOW, AS WE MOVE TOWARDS LUNCH LIKE THE CORE OF OUR SCHOOL IS CLASSICAL EDUCATION THAT FRANKLIN COVEY LEADER OF MEAT PROGRAM IS SORT OF THE NEXT STEP. AND WHAT WE'LL DO IS BECAUSE IT IS NEW AND IN TERMS OF BEING INTEGRATED INTO CLASSICAL LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION, THE FINANCIAL LITERACY WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO A LOT OF OUR CONVERSATIONS. UM UM, YEAH, BUT I THINK YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE A LOT OF IT IN THAT IN THOSE ATTACHMENTS. OKAY IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS COULD MAYBE, LIKE, EMAIL ME? ADDITIONAL LIKE LESSONS, MAYBE FOR DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS, NOT EVERY GRADE LEVEL FOR SURE. JUST SAMPLES. YES, YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. MHM HELLO. UM I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU. UM MY FIRST IS, UM, YOUR DISTRICT FACILITY AND KAPO UNIFIED. IS THAT A SCHOOL KAPO DISTRICT FACILITY OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE LEASING? AH, WELL, IT'S BOTH WERE LEASING IT FROM CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO THEY'RE PROVIDING THE SPACE THE FACILITIES CORRECT CORRECT. THAT'S AND I WILL SAY LIKE THAT. THAT IS, UH THAT IS NOT OUR FIRST CHOICE HERE, AND WE HOPE WE HOPE THAT YOU KNOW THE PROPER PROP 39 PROVIDES A PROCESS BY WHICH RESIDENTS OF A COMMUNITY CAN SAY IF MY KIDS GO TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL, WE, YOU KNOW

[00:30:05]

AND BUT I WILL SAY THAT WE'RE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR PRIVATE FACILITIES AT THEIR PREFERENCE FOR SURE. UM, BUT FACILITIES ARE HARD TO FIND. SO THE 340 SOME STUDENTS THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, UM SLATED THAT COULD START HERE. ARE YOU PLANNING ON USING PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA FACILITIES. IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT THAT'S NOT OUR THAT'S NOT OUR FIRST CHOICE. OUR FIRST CHOICE WOULD BE TO HAVE TO HAVE OUR OWN PRIVATE FACILITY, WHICH YOU KNOW WE WHICH WE YOU KNOW, HAVE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST ONE OPTION. YOU KNOW, IT'S A THING ABOUT I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. SCHOOLS HAVE TO GET INTO FACILITIES IS THAT UM YOU KNOW? NO, NO ONE WILL SIGN AT LEAST. WITH US UNTIL WE HAVE AN APPROVED CHARTER PETITION. AND SO THAT STARTS THE PROCESS. SO UM, BUT NO, I MEAN, I THINK OUR PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO BE IN A PRIVATE FACILITY. HOWEVER UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY POSITIVE PROPERTY PROP. 39 WILL NOT BE OUR FIRST CHOICE, BUT IT WOULD BE AN OPTION IF WE CAN FOR OUR SUCCESSFUL 20 PRIVATE FACILITY. SO IF THIS IS APPROVED AND YOU DO NOT FIND A PRIVATE FACILITY, YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR SPACE AT P Y EL USD SCHOOLS YEAH, THAT'S POSSIBLE. YEAH NOT OUR FIRST CHOICE, BUT THAT'S POSSIBLE THAT UM. YOU ASKED THE SAME QUESTION I HAD ABOUT PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA STUDENTS. SO UM, AND YOU SAID THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY. MHM APPROXIMATELY 48 STUDENTS AND 35 RESIDENTS. SO THE FACILITY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ALMOST 340 STUDENTS, 48 OF WHICH SEEMED TO BE IN OUR DISTRICT. UM WILL THAT HOLD THE LEAD THE FACILITY THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT? THAT'S IN OUR DISTRICT. THAT'S NOT A DISTRICT FACILITY. WILL THAT HOLD 340 STUDENTS? YES HOLD ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING TO GROW INTO OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, ALL THE WAY UP TO EIGHTH GRADE. YES, WE BELIEVE IT WOULD. AND EVEN YOU KNOW, AND EVEN OUR SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO LOCATION. WE THINK THAT'S A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. I MEAN, OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MOVE TOWARDS OUR OWN FACILITY.

SO ARE YOU CURRENTLY NOW? UM UH, FISCALLY SOLVENT. YEAH YEAH, YOUR WHEN YOU GET YEAH, THE ANSWER IS YES, BUT I'M BEING FISCALLY SOLVENT. IN OUR BUDGET YEAR, SO OUR BUDGET BALANCES IN YEAR ONE. THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE THINK, UM, BUT THE WAY AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. I HOPE I HOPE THIS DOESN'T CUT. YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THAT I'LL JUST SAY THAT RIGHT BUT THE WAY PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING WORKED. IS THAT ESPECIALLY IN THE STARTUP ENVIRONMENT, YOUR PUBLIC FUNDS DON'T COME UNTIL OCTOBER, BUT YOU HAVE TO HIRE YOUR STAFF MUCH RATHER THAN THAT. AND THEY START MUCH EARLIER THAN OUTFIT YOUR SCHOOL ETCETERA, ETCETERA, SO YOU'LL SEE IN OUR BUDGET.

THERE'S A THERE'S A CASH FLOW PROJECTION. FOR HOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO MEET PAYROLL THAT SORT OF THING LATER EXISTING SCHOOL WE, YOU KNOW. WE HAVE A CASH FLOW LOAN, UH FROM, UM FROM A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. THAT'S COME THROUGH, AND THAT'S WHAT'S ENABLING US TO MEET OUR CASH FLOW NEEDS. BUT OUR BUDGET ITSELF BALANCES IN YEAR ONE. I HOPE I DIDN'T CONFUSE THAT HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE. AND WE HAVE TO DO PROJECTIONS FOR THREE YEARS. ARE YOU REQUIRED TO DO PROJECTIONS PROJECTIONS FOR THREE YEARS? YEAH WE DID FIVE YEARS. AND ARE YOU BALANCED AT THE END OF THE THREE AND THE FIVE YEARS? YES YES. IN FACT, WE'RE STARTING TO REALLY BUILD UP A PRETTY GOOD RESERVE. BY THE FIFTH YEAR. JUST ONE MORE QUESTION THAT CAME UP. SORRY YOU GUYS HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY DENTAL FULL SCHOOL YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? SO YOU'RE OPENING UP THIS AUGUST FOR YOUR VERY FIRST YEAR? THAT'S CORRECT. I HAVE A QUESTION. SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A FACILITY FOR 340. BUT IF YOU END UP HAVING TO PROP 39 US WHAT WOULD THE NUMBERS BE THAT YOU'D BE LOOKING FOR? BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU HAVE TO GO UNDER PROP 39, THE NUMBERS ARE CONSIDERABLY LESS. AND OR SEE CLASSICAL ACADEMY WAS LOOKING WITHOUT THE PROP 39 AS WELL AND WE COULDN'T WE COULDN'T HOLD THEM. WE COULDN'T FACILITATE THEM. SO IS A PROP 39 EVEN IT'S PROP 39 EVEN AN OPTION KNOWING THE SPACE THAT WE COULDN'T EVEN, UM HOLD. WE CAN'T EVEN YOU KNOW HOW THE CLASSICAL ACADEMY UM. THE WAY WE PROP 39 WORKS IS YOUR, UM YOU'RE ONLY REQUIRED. HOW'S THE STUDENTS THAT LIVE WITHIN YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARY? SO UM WHAT

[00:35:06]

SIGN OUR PETITION THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S KIND OF STARTING POINT. ANOTHER, SO THAT IN OTHER WORDS, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN IN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO AND THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES WE GOT FOR PROP 39 WAS LOVED WAS ■LESS THAN, UM, TE ORIGINAL PROJECTIONS OF ENROLLMENT. SO IN OTHER WORDS, LIKE THE FACILITY WE HAVE IS CONSTRICTED OUR ABILITY TO INSTRUCT IT TO THE SIZE OF OUR SCHOOL. SO WE'RE STARTING AT 222 STUDENTS DOWN THERE AND SO THE 350. BUT WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT. WE IF WE GET INTO A PRIVATE CIVILITY, WE WOULD LOVE TO START WITH THE BIGGER NUMBER. BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE THING ABOUT BEING IN CHARTER SCHOOL WORLD AS WE SORT OF HAVE TO BE FLEXIBLE. SO YOU'RE SAYING IF YOU HAD TO GO TO PROP 39 OPTION YOU'D BE WILLING TO ONLY. AND USE OUR FACILITIES OR WOULD YOU JUST TRY TO LOOK ELSEWHERE? WE WOULD INITIATE A SIGNATURE GATHERING PROCESS AND GET AS MANY AS WE CAN IN ORDER TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL. SO I DON'T I DON'T YOU KNOW, THAT NUMBER WILL BE, UM SO A LOT OF LOT OF THE HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES ANYWAY, THE NUMBER THE NUMBER WILL BE WHATEVER IT IS WHERE IT WILL HAVE SECURED BY NOVEMBER 1ST AND TURN INTO THE DISTRICT. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER WOULD BE. OKAY THANK YOU. SO NOVEMBER 1ST IF WE IF THIS WAS DENIED, AND YOU CHOSE TO GO PROP 39 ROUTE OR BUT I GUESS IF IT'S DENIED IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. SO BUT IF IT WAS APPROVED AND YOU CHOSE TO GO THROUGH THE PROP 39 ROUNDS, THEN BY NOVEMBER, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH A LIST OF NAMES AND NUMBERS. CORRECT. AND IF WE DENIED THIS, UM THIS APPLICATION. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? WE ACTUALLY HAVE ON THE CALL THIS EVENING. MARLEY FOX, WHOSE LEGAL COUNSEL FOR US AND SO THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO POSE THAT QUESTION TO HER. SHE COULD.

SHE COULD RESPOND TO THAT. I CAN ACTUALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THERE'S AN APPEAL PROCESS TO THE COUNTY. THAT'S HIGH. IT'S MARLEY FOX. THAT'S CORRECT. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

I'M NOT. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO A CHARTER SCHOOL, UM, YOU KNOW, IN IN OUR COMMUNITY, UM HOWEVER, I JUST WANT US TO BE REALISTIC. LIKE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIPS. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SCHOOL THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR DISTRICT. AND SO WE WOULD JUST BE BASICALLY APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR THEM TO BE OPENING A SCHOOL IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WE WOULD BE RUNNING COMPLETELY SEPARATE. UM AND I JUST ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE TO ORANGE COUNTY CLASSICAL ACADEMY TRIED TO COME IN WITH A VERY HIGH NUMBER, AND WE COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE THAT. SO I REALLY HOPE THAT, UM EVERYONE DOESN'T GO INTO A FREAK OUT MODE ABOUT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PARTNERSHIPS AND STUFF. UM TALK, BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS DR TURNER'S.

WOULDN'T THIS BE IS THAT IF THIS WAS TO GO THROUGH IF THEY FOUND THEIR OWN SPACE, WE ARE STILL RUNNING SEPARATE FROM WHAT THEY ARE RUNNING. THERE'S NO PART LIKE THE PARTNERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE THAT'S REALLY NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED. NO, I MEAN THERE'S ALWAYS OPTIONS FOR THE DISTRICT TO PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, NOT PART OF OUR DISTRICT. BUT THERE'D BE NO, YOU KNOW, INITIAL PLANS OR OBLIGATIONS OR EXPECTATIONS TO DO THAT. UM. WE WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR DISTRICT AND OUR STUDENTS. SO IF THERE ARE PARTNERSHIPS THAT BENEFIT US GREAT, UM, BUT WE'D HAVE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.

CAN I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION THAT JUST BROUGHT UP A QUESTION THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD? UM CURRENTLY AT CAPO, UNIFIED. ARE YOU SHARING SPACE WITH ANOTHER SCHOOL OR DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BUILDING? IT'S UH, IT'S A UNIQUE SITUATION. IT'S A COLOR, COLOR COLOR LOCATION, SO IT IS A SHARED SPACE WITH ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. BUT IT'S UH IT'S SEPARATE TO LIKE WE'RE WITH. IT'S A STANDALONE BUILDING THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND PARKING LOT AND PLAY, YOU KNOW, PLAY AREA AND THAT SORT OF THING, BUT IT IS TECHNICALLY CO LOCATED WITH ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. DO YOU SHARE THE PLAYGROUNDS? UM OR DO YOU ALTERNATE PLAYGROUNDS ? ALTERNATE LIBRARY. ALTERNATE COMPUTER. ALTERNATE UM, LUNCH TABLES. ALL OF THAT. UH YEAH, A

[00:40:01]

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WILL BE DOING IN THE BUSINESS SERVICES DIVISION IS REVIEWING ALL THE ALL THE FINANCIALS, AND SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT WILL BE EVALUATING ANY LOANS THAT WERE INCLUDED THERE. I WILL BE LOOKING AT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS. ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FINANCES WILL BE REVIEWING. WE'LL BE LOOKING AT SALARY INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SALARY INFORMATION IS CONSISTENT WITH SALARIES AND OTHER DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT ORANGE COUNTY, SO THERE'S A LOT OF DATA THAT WILL BE GOING THROUGH AND WE'LL BE DOING THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS OUR NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. EXCUSE ME. AND THEN IS THAT A CONTINUING THING ANNUALLY ? YES IT IS. AND THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM. JUST A ONE TIME THING THERE WILL BE A WILL BE A PROCESS THAT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH EACH YEAR AND MONITOR THE FINANCIALS AS WELL. AND I BELIEVE THE SAME IS TRUE ON THE EDUCATIONAL SIDE. ARE WE COMPENSATED FOR OVERSIGHT THROUGH THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS THAT PART OF BECAUSE WE'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK FOR THEM. YEAH, I'M JUST I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ARE WE USING OUR DISTRICT RESOURCES? YEAH THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD QUESTION FOR ATTORNEY MARLEY. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHETHER IT'S YES, BUT YEAH, IT'S AND IT'S BUILT INTO OUR BUDGET IS A 1% OVERSIGHT FEE. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S ALSO CORRECT. THERE YOU GO, IS THAT TYPICAL? YES. AND THAT IS THAT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO COVER OUR COSTS. YEAH THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE AND SEE. IT'S VERY EARLY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SAY HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE SPENT EVALUATING THE FINANCIALS, BUT WHATEVER IS PROVIDED FOR AN ED CODE IS WHAT WE'D BE ENTITLED TO. SO IF IT'S 1% IT WILL BE. 1% IS WHAT WE GET. SO IT'S AN ED CODE ENTITLEMENT. IS THAT CORRECT? MARLEY WOULD YOU SAY THAT THAT'S PROVIDED FOR IN THE RULES? YES YES, IT IS. IT'S IN THE ED CODE. I UNFORTUNATELY. DON'T HAVE MY CODE WITH ME. SO I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT SECTION, BUT IT IS IN THE CODE FOR SURE. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GOT. YOUR TEAM WILL BE EVALUATING AS WELL. IS THAT CORRECT FROM SERVICES AND THE BUSINESS SIDE TO MAKE SURE YES, WE'RE STAFFS EVALUATING ALL ASPECTS OF THE APPLICATION. UM AND WE ARE GETTING GUIDANCE FROM COUNCIL. OKAY, PERFECT. THANKS. DOES ANY OF THAT OVERSIGHT CHANGE IF THEY'RE IN OUR FACILITY OR NOT, VERSUS NOT IN OUR FACILITY? DOES ANY OF THAT CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE WELL, IT'S REALLY DEPENDING ON ON THE APPROVAL, WHO APPROVES THE ACTUAL CHARTER PETITION WOULD DETERMINE WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERSIGHT. AND SO IF OUR BOARD TOOK ACTION ON AUGUST 8TH AND APPROVED, IT WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY. CORRECT. OUR FACILITY OR NOT. SO IF THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LOCATION OFF. AND REALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH US. WE YOU KNOW, NEVER. WE NEVER SEE YOU GUYS. WE STILL HAVE TO OVERSIGHT THAT BUT THAT, IF THEY APPEAL GOES THROUGH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WOULD IF THEY APPROVE THAT APPEAL, THEN THEY ARE THE OVERSIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT. IS THE AUTHORIZE ER WHETHER IT'S THE DISTRICT AUTHORIZING OR THE COUNTY, SO IF THE DISTRICT DENIES, BUT THE COUNTY APPROVES THAT THE OVERSIGHT MOVES TO THE COUNTY.

YES. WHO IS OVERSIGHT OF THE CURRENT CONTRACT WITH KAPPA. THE COUNTY OR KAPPA. YEAH, WE SO WE

[00:45:08]

IT'S DIFFERENT. SO UM AND YOU KNOW, AND WITHOUT A WITHOUT A SCHOOL. WITHOUT AN APPROVED CHARTER SCHOOL. YOU'RE NOT REALLY TAKING SERIOUS BY A LANDLORD. SO UM, IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS. I WISH I WISH IT WERE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S SORT OF PART OF THE PROCESS. DID I MISS? ARE YOU TRYING TO START 23 24? ARE YOU LOOKING 24 25? UM AND THEN I JUST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

I THINK ONE THING THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR IF THERE'S ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. I THINK THAT I LIKE WHAT YOU STAND FOR.

I THINK THIS IS ALL VERY IMPORTANT STUFF. HOWEVER, WE HAVE A DISTRICT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT AND IF WE HAVE OVERSIGHT AND THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT HAS TO WORK WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, CONTINUING TO STRIVE, THRIVE AND MAKE ADVANCES IN WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, SO THAT'S MY CONCERN. IS THAT MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S A MUTUAL BENEFIT THAT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO US MORE THAN JUST SAYING WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A GOOD CHARTER IN THE DISTRICT. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ALRIGHT ALRIGHT. THANK YOU, MR DAVIS. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. YEAH THIS PERSON IN AUGUST . NO WORRIES. UM AT THIS POINT, UH, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP. THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE RELATIVE TO THE PETITION TO ESTABLISH A T K THROUGH A CHARTER SCHOOL FOR A FIVE YEAR TERM. BEGINNING IN 2024 THROUGH 2025 SCHOOL YEAR. SUBMITTED BY THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, OR C, R L WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THIS, UM MEET HEARING AT 18 59. OKAY? OKAY AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, I HAVE IT'S LIKE A 10 SPEAKERS. THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS, SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL THE FIRST FOUR. TO COME. SPEAK HEIDI CISNEROS. DIALA. THE HERNIA. HERNIA. AH COMMIE CAMILLE BOLD BOLDING. SHANI MURRAY. HOW DO YOU WILL BE FIRST AT THE CENTER CENTER PODIUM, PLEASE? EVENING.

[00:50:07]

MY NAME IS JOSE CISNEROS. SO APPARENT IN THE DISTRICT HERE IN MY MAY REMEMBER MY COMMENTS PREVIOUSLY THAT I AM A SUPER FAN OF THE DISTRICT. THEY REALLY BELIEVE THAT WHAT WE HAVE GOING HERE IN THIS DISTRICT IS THE BEST IN THE COUNTY. WE DO RANK AT THE TOP. AND THAT'S WHY WE DON'T WANT OUR DISTRICT TO BE SEPARATED AND DIVIDED UP WHEN IT CAN CONTINUE THE UNITY. BOTH OF MY SONS WENT TO SCHOOLS THAT WERE NOT IN OUR HOUSING DISTRICT OR IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE WE HAD CHOICES. WE HAD PERMITS THAT WE APPLY FOR AND WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL OF OUR CHOICE. SO IF PARENTS ARE FRUSTRATED, THERE ARE CHOICES IN THIS DISTRICT. YOU CAN GO TO OTHER SCHOOLS AND TAKE PART IN ALL THE FABULOUS PROGRAMS THAT ALL THE SCHOOLS OFFER. IF WE WANT PROGRAMS WITH MORE PARENT CHOICE. THEN LET'S LOOK AT COMMUNITY SCHOOLS. THAT'S THE LATEST AND GREATEST MODEL THAT'S OUT THERE THAT IS LITERALLY RUN BY PARENT VOICE. PARENTS MAKE AND, UM, RUN THE SCHOOL THROUGH A BOARD PROCESS. ONCE YOU APPROVE A CHARTER SCHOOL UNDER YOUR AND YOUR DISTRICTS JURISDICTION IF YOU WILL YOU ACTUALLY GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER BECAUSE ONCE THEY'RE ESTABLISHED, WHATEVER THEY DO THAT MAY MAKE LET'S SAY PARENTS UPSET OR PARENTS DISAGREE WITH THE PARENTS WILL COME TO YOUR BOARD MEETINGS FOR HOURS TALKED AT LEAST 20 IN MY CAREER, LISTENING TO PARENTS OF SCHOOLS THAT WE HAD NO JURISDICTION OVER EVEN THOUGH WE GAVE THEM THE CHARTER. COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE AT THE CHARTER SCHOOL. BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE JURISDICTION. ONCE THAT'S CHARTERS GIVEN. IF IT BELONGS TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THEN YOU CAN SAY IT'S NOT OURS. BUT EITHER WAY, YOU HAVE NO POWER, SO WE DON'T WANT TO. BRING IN SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT MANAGE. THE OTHER THING IS ONLY ONE IN SIX CHARTER SCHOOLS NATIONALLY IS PERFORMING. WE DON'T HAVE DATA ON THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T ACTUALLY HAD A FULL SCHOOL YEAR. SO WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW? BUT WE DO KNOW IS YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST BENCHMARKS AND GRADUATION AND TEST SCORES AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NEW DISTRICT TO OUR NEW CHARTER COMES TO TOWN, AS MANY OF THE TOP PERFORMERS WANT TO GO THERE? BECAUSE IT'S NEW AND EXCITING, RIGHT? AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLED. WHAT HAPPENS IS RIGHT BEFORE. TESTING OR WHEN THEIR BEHAVIOR ISSUES. ALL THOSE STUDENTS GET DROPPED.

AND SO THEN THEY BECOME SCORES ON YOUR AND YOUR SCORE SHEETS, EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T THE DISTRICT OF INSTRUCTION FOR THE PAST YEAR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THEY'RE NOT HIGH SCHOOL, BUT IT MATTERS FOR EIGHTH GRADE AS WELL. SO, OF COURSE, CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE ALWAYS OPEN AND WELCOMING. UNTIL UNTIL A STUDENT DOESN'T FIT IN.

DOESN'T DO EXACTLY WHAT GOES ON . WE KNOW IN THIS DISTRICT WHEN THEIR BEHAVIOR ISSUES THERE IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORT TO REDIRECT BEHAVIOR. WELL THAT OCCUR IN THE CHARTER SCHOOL. LAST THING IS EVERY CHILD'S $10,000 THOSE HOMESCHOOL KIDS ON THEIR LIST. THOSE ARE HOMESCHOOL KIDS WHERE THE IDEA COMES TO YOU. THOSE ARE YOUR HOME SCHOOL KIDS. SO LET'S THINK ABOUT WHERE THAT FUNDING GOES AND KEEP THE FUNDING FOR ALL THE STUDENTS KEEP US STRONG. LET'S KEEP US THE BEST. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

OKAY UH, NEXT STEP IS DIALER. SHE'S HAD TO LEAVE, OKAY. CAMILLE. GOOD EVENING, MR SUPERINTENDENT AND A SCHOOL BOARD. UM FIRST I'D LIKE TO COMMEND THE BOARD FOR SOME VERY GOOD QUESTIONS. UM MY BACKGROUND IS A RETIRED DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR FOR A LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE IN ORANGE COUNTY. AND DURING MY TENURE THERE, WHICH WAS 16 YEARS, I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW A LOT OF UM CHARTER SCHOOL PETITIONS. AND. FROM THE RISK MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT, AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT, PROBABLY TO THE PUBLIC MORE THAN THE BOARD. UM, YOU GUYS HAVE THE PETITION IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT IS IN THE PETITION, THEY DON'T ACTUALLY GO TO OPERATIONS AND RISK MANAGEMENT AND LIABILITY. ONE OF THE AREAS THAT I WOULD REVIEW WAS ALWAYS RECRUITMENT FOR THE YOU KNOW.

OPPOSED TEACHERS. I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN THAT THE CHARTER THAT WAS PRESENTED SEEMS TO BE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TEACHERS WHO SIGNED THE PETITION. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THINGS LIKE, UM, THE BENEFITS THAT THEY WOULD BE GIVING THE PROPOSED, UH TEACHERS. THEY WERE NOWHERE NEAR THE BENEFIT LEVELS OF OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AND I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW

[00:55:02]

NOW YOUR PRINCIPAL HAS TO DECIDE WHEN THEIR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE THERE VERSUS THE OTHER STUDENTS. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ON THAT PLAYGROUND BECAUSE IT DOES BELONG TO THE DISTRICT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE A FACILITY, THEN WHEN YOU GET A LAWSUIT, IF SOMEBODY GETS HURT ON THE PLAYGROUND, YOU WILL GET SUED. EVEN IF YOU YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL INSURED ENDORSEMENT, NAMING THE DISTRICT AS AN ADDITIONAL SHIRT YOU'LL BE SURELY PLACED IN THE LAWSUIT, AND ONE OF THE REASONS IS BECAUSE IT'S YOUR EQUIPMENT. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU SHARE IT, THAT'S EVEN MORE, UM, HIGHER LEVEL LIABILITY FOR THE DISTRICT IF YOU SHARE A FACILITY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS A WHOLE OTHER THING. UM I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TALK TO ANOTHER DISTRICT OR DISTRICTS THAT HAVE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT OPERATIONS BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE IN THE OTHER SCHOOL. YOU DON'T CONTROL THEM ANYMORE. SO YOU CAN'T TRAIN THEM. YOU CAN'T MAKE SURE THERE'S THE SAME PROTOCOLS AS YOUR DISTRICT HAS. I SEE YOU HAVE WRAPPED YOUR HONDA. AGENDA. I SEE YOU HAVE LOCKED BLOCKS SO THAT DISTRICT IS DOING A LOT OF THINGS FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE PUTTING IN PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE SAME COMPREHENSIVE CALLED SAFETY PLAN. YOUR DISTRICT HAS SO INFRASTRUCTURE IS TOTALLY LOST EVERYTHING THAT THE DISTRICT HAS IN PLACE IS NOT THERE FOR THE STUDENTS WHO JOINED THAT CHARTER SCHOOL SO I WOULD LOOK AT THINGS THAT AREN'T IN THE CHARTER SCHOOL PETITION BECAUSE THERE'S VERY FEW REAL, YOU KNOW, OPERATIONAL ELEMENTS IN THAT PETITION. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU. MISS MURRAY.

HI THANK YOU. SO THIS HAS BEEN VERY INFORMATIVE AND I APPRECIATE IT, BUT I STILL FEEL THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY ON CHARTER PROPOSALS IS VERY CONCERNING. I SENT OUT A PETITION ON MAY 3RD ASKING P Y EL USD TO PRIORITIZE OUR STUDENTS AND KEEP US INFORMED AND MORE THAN 1100 PEOPLE SIGNED IT. NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT THE DISTRICT WAITED UNTIL SCHOOL WAS OUT FOR SUMMER TO INFORM US ABOUT THE 600 PAGE CHARTER PETITION RECEIVED BACK IN APRIL.

TODD FRAZIER. YOU AGREED WITH ME IN AN EMAIL THAT ON THIS TOPIC TRANSPARENCY IS IMPORTANT. SO I HOPE YOU SHARE MY CONCERNS. ALSO ALTHOUGH THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY HASN'T YET REQUESTED DISTRICT FACILITIES, I THINK IT WAS MADE CLEAR TONIGHT THAT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

SO PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO UNNECESSARY CHARTER SKILLS COMING IN AND TAKING PRECIOUS RESOURCES FROM OUR STUDENTS, PLEASE PRIORITIZED L STUDENTS. THANK YOU. NEXT UP JONATHAN DAWSON. HELLO, RAINIER. GLENN RAINIER. AND KAREN JENNY. BECAUSE HAVE TO HEAR A LOT OF THESE. IT WAS LIKE 30 MINUTES. UM WELL. I GUESS I'M NOT GONNA SOUND AS ELOQUENT. UM IS EVERYONE ELSE AND HAVE ALL MY PAPERWORK READY? BUT I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK AS MAYBE A SUCCESS STORY OF A SCHOOL LIKE THIS WITH A MISSION STATEMENT LIKE THAT. UM I WOULDN'T SAY I WAS A MEMBER OF PUBLIC SCHOOL, AND I WASN'T A FAILURE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL. BUT I STRUGGLED. I STRUGGLED A LOT THROUGH SCHOOLING, ESPECIALLY AS I GOT OLDER. I REALLY STRUGGLED SO MUCH TO THE POINT WHERE I GOT A LETTER FROM THE DISTRICT SAYING, HEY, LIKE YOU'RE NOT GONNA GRADUATE. YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE GOING TO FAIL. YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SUCCEED. IS WHAT I TOOK IT AS UM AND I ATTENDED A SCHOOL THAT HAD THE SAME MISSION STATEMENT.

SIMILAR IDEAS. IT WAS A LEADERSHIP ACADEMY. I ATTENDED THE SCHOOL IS KIND OF A DEJECTED KID. I WAS PRETTY SURE HE'S GONNA LIVE WITH MY PARENTS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I DIDN'T THINK COLLEGE WAS AN OPTION. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING LIKE THAT WAS GOING TO BE ATTAINABLE FOR ME. AND THIS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY AGAIN. IT'S NOT THE SAME THING, OBVIOUSLY, BUT HAD VERY SIMILAR MISSION STATEMENT. TRANSFORMED TO ME. AS A STUDENT. NOT THAT I WAS A FAILURE OF THE DISTRICT, BUT IT TRANSFORMED ME AND GAVE ME NEW OPPORTUNITIES. IT HELPED CREATE A SHIFT IN ME RECOGNIZING THE POTENTIAL THAT I HAD AS A STUDENT. SO MUCH SO THAT JUST IN A COUPLE OF SHORT YEARS, UM I WENT FROM AGAIN BEING DEJECTED, GETTING A LETTER SAYING I WAS GOING TO FAIL, LIKE, HEY, THIS IS GOING TO BOARD MEETINGS LIKE THINGS LIKE THIS. TO WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GO TO COLLEGE. AND

[01:00:01]

UM, I'M YOU KNOW, BUT I'M JUST ABLE HEIGHT OF YOUR OWN. SO I GREW UP IN YOUR BELINDA, CALIFORNIA. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE THE GREAT THING THAT POTENTIAL LINDA DID FOR ME. THEY DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY DID A PARTNERSHIP WITH BONAPARTE. AH DISTRICT THEY SENT ME ON A BUS FOR 10 YEARS. THE GOD OF THE TOOK OUT OF THE DEATH TOLL. SO YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROGRAM THIS PROGRAM THAT YOU GUYS CAN PUT THAT TO THE KIDS. AND STILL, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ABOUT TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM THE KIDS. ACTUALLY, THE MONEY COACH THE COUNTRY Y'ALL KNOW THAT RIGHT? THERE'S NO DENYING THAT WHETHER EVERYBODY WANTS ELSE WANT TO SAY THAT GOING DIDN'T TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU. THINK ABOUT IT. IT GOES STRAIGHT TO THE KIDS AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE. THE PROGRAM THAT SHE'S RUNNING MY WIFE AT 20. FOR THE KIDS. IT'S NOT JUST 15 AT ALL. SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS, THE BENEFIT THE KIDS. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. AND THANK YOU. IT'S OKAY TO STAY HERE IN L. A GOOD. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. IT'S OKAY. THANK YOU . IT'S OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH . KAREN CHENEY. YOU FEEL DIDN'T LOOK AT MY NAME AND LIKE. OH, GOSH. NO, NO. OKAY GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD. I'M JUST I'M A PARENT. UM, I HAVE THREE BOYS, TWO THAT HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TOTALLY NEEDS. SO MY OLDEST IS AUTISTIC, AND HE'S FALLS IN THE MODERATE RANGE. AND TO BE HONEST, THERE ISN'T A LOT OF PROGRAMS AND OPTIONS FOR HIM. SO HE FALLS IN THE MILE MOD PROGRAM AND GETS LOST, AND THEN HE GOES BACK TO THE SEVERE PROGRAM GETS LOST, RIGHT? MY SECOND SON, WHICH I'M HERE FOR IS, YOU KNOW HE WAS A PART OF ROSE DRIVE ELEMENTARY, UM, SPECIAL DAY CLASS MOVED TO AN ACTUAL NEURO TYPICAL PROGRAM. THEIR KIDS IN THERE. THERE WAS 30 KIDS, HE'D REGRESSED. HE HE WASN'T HIMSELF ANYMORE. HE COULD EXPRESS HIMSELF. HE JUST FELT LIKE HE YOU KNOW, ALL THE OTHER KIDS ARE JUST TALKING, TALKING TALKING, AND HE JUST REGRESSED. AND SO I PULLED HIM OUT. AND, UM THERE ISN'T A LOT OF OPTIONS FOR KIDS THAT JUST CAN'T PERFORM IN BIG CLASSROOMS AND NEED MORE ATTENTION. MORE REDIRECTION. UM I DID OBSERVATIONS ASSAULT MYSELF. I DID. HE WAS THERE FOR A YEAR. I DID ALL THREE OF MY OBSERVATIONS. I SAW THE REGRESSION. UM I SAW THE EXPLOSIVENESS IN THE SMALL CLASSROOM HOW HE EXCELLED IN, WHICH IS WHY THEY WANTED TO PUT HIM IN A BIG CLASSROOM AND THAT'S WHERE HE REGRESSED. SO WITH THE CHARTER SCHOOL, I KNOW CLASSES ARE SMALLER BECAUSE YOU KNOW, HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. I SEE MY OLDEST SON LOVES SCHOOL. HE LOVES GOING TO BE BEING IN THE DISTRICT IN A BIGGER CLASS. MY LITTLE ONE. HE JUST THRIVES IN SMALLER GROUPS, AND I HAVE THEM IN OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE SMALLER GROUP BASED, UM AND I HEAR HEAR A LOT OF MONEY TALK. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY. I KNOW THAT. BUT ALSO EVERYTHING IS ABOUT OUR KIDS. AND WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN. AND MY LITTLE GUY IS ONLY SIX AND TO SEE HIM NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE FRIENDS OR CAN EXCEL AND THEN I SEE HIM SEE THOSE THINGS IN A SMALLER GROUP. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN ISSUE, SO I JUST SAY IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN THINK ABOUT WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR CHILDREN, AND I'LL TELL YOU IF THIS DOESN'T GET APPROVED, HE'S NOT COMING TO THE DISTRICT I WILL FIND ELSEWHERE. SO AT LEAST HE'S COMING INTO PLACENTIA. IF YOU GUYS STARTED CHARTER SCHOOL, SO, UM NO MATTER WHAT IF YOU'RE A GOOD PARENT, AND YOU REALLY WANT BEST FOR YOUR CHILD, YOU'RE

[01:05:05]

HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE ARE ACTUALLY NOT FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL IF YOU'D STAND UP EXCUSE ME. YOU'RE ADDRESSING THE BOARD . THIS IS NOT FOR THE COMMUNITY CAN I CAN'T? WELL, THEN, MAYBE SORRY. MY APOLOGIES ON THAT, UM MAYBE THINK ABOUT THAT. ALSO, MAYBE THINK ABOUT. THEY HAD A CHANCE TO HAVE WHO WAS HERE FOR IT. STAND UP. MAYBE THOSE THAT DIDN'T STAND UP. ARE NOT FOR IT . SO MAYBE KEEP THAT IN MIND. UM, MY APOLOGIES AGAIN ON THAT. AND, UM. LET'S. AND I'M JUST GONNA REITERATE RESOURCES. YOU KNOW IT WILL TAKE AWAY RESOURCES WHICH WILL NOT WHICH MAY NOT GIVE US THAT ABILITY TO REACH THOSE KIDS WERE TRYING TO REACH AND TO PROVIDE THAT I B PROGRAM THAT AP PROGRAM ALL THAT LEADERSHIP THAT WE MOVE THESE KIDS UP TO COLLEGES.

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

ONE MOMENT. OKAY? OKAY. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A 17 SPEAKERS, WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE GIVEN A MINUTE AND A HALF. FOR SPEAKING. I ASKED THE SPEAKERS TO REPEAT THEIR NAMES ONCE THEY ONCE THEY COME UP TO THE PODIUM. AND I WILL BE CALLING THE FIRST FOUR SPEAKERS AND, UM THE THREE THAT AREN'T SPEAKING CAN SIT UP IN THE FRONT. DON'T BE. DON'T BE SCARED, SO LOOKS LIKE OUR FIRST ONE WILL BE, MISS. UH HEALY. IS THAT THE END BILL? BILL BILL. CATHERINE MESSICK. BROOKE ULLRICH. AND IT LOOKS LIKE LEAH LAZARUS. LILLIAN, LILLIAN. THANK YOU. SO HALEY WILL BE THE FIRST . HI MY NAME IS HALEY BELLEVILLE , AND I AM A TAXPAYER VOTER RESIDENT AND GRADUATE OF EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF ELDORADO EMPLOYEE JUDY RUBERG. I WAS NEVER AN EMPLOYEE, OR I WAS. I NEVER HAD MRS RAYBURN AS A TEACHER, AND TO BE HONEST OF THE SIX TEACHERS THAT I HAD OF THE SIX SCIENCE CLASSES THAT I TOOK MY FOUR YEARS AT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY WOULD HAVE RESPONDED TO THE QUESTION THAT MRS RAYBURN WAS ASKED IN THE SAME WAY. I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD TO GOOGLE IT OR MERELY SHAMED AND PUNISHED FOR EXPRESSING ANY CURIOSITY. AND YET NONE OF THOSE TEACHERS THAT I HAD AT ELDORADO HAVE I LEARNED MORE FROM THAN JUDY RUBERG. BOTH OF THESE LEADS TO SOME QUESTIONS. WHY WHAT MAKES MRS RAYBURN DIFFERENT. THE ANSWER TO BOTH IS THE SAME. MRS. RABER IS AN EDUCATOR BEYOND THE JOB TITLE AND BEYOND A CLASSROOM . MRS. RAYBURN IS AN EDUCATOR IN HER SPIRIT. AND IN HER HEART.

THIS IS WHY SHE SPENDS HER WEEKENDS. AND SUMMERS, LEADING STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON NATURE TRAILS, BOTH IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY. AND THIS IS WHY, WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE PLACE OF PLEASURE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE IN REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL SYSTEMS, SHE ANSWERED HONESTLY AND THOUGHTFULLY, WITH NO MORE GRAPHIC DETAIL THAN THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR PROSTATE, WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE BY ANY STUDENT IN THE LIBRARY OR COMPUTER LAB. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

[01:25:09]

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND LETTING MISTAKE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS BROOKE CHOLERIC. I'M A RECENT GRADUATE OF EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TODAY TO ADVOCATE FOR MRS REBERG AND ABSOLUTELY BELOVED TEACHER BY BOTH STUDENTS AND FACULTY ALIKE IN ELDORADO. SHE HAS RECENTLY BEEN THROWN INTO CONTROVERSY OVER THE REPRODUCTIVE UNIT THAT SHE TAUGHT THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR IN HER ELECTIVE ANATOMY, OF COURSE. A UNIT TAUGHT IN JUNE THAT BOTH STUDENTS AND PARENTS IN HER CLASS WERE MADE AWARE OF IN AUGUST. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I HAVE A PRINTED SYLLABUS, UM, FOR THE CLASS, WHICH WAS TO BE SHOWN TO PARENTS BY THE STUDENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 2022 2023 SCHOOL YEAR. THIS. SO THIS SIMILAR TO ALL THE OTHER SYLLABI I HAVE PERSONALLY RECEIVED DURING MY YEARS OF SCHOOLING REQUIRES A SIGNATURE BY BOTH THE STUDENT AND THE PARENT IF THE STUDENTS UNDER 18 THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT PARENTS WERE MADE AWARE OF THE CONTENT THAT THIS CLASS COVERS AND WENT AS FAR AS PROVIDING SIGNED CONSENT FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO PARTAKE IN EACH UNIT, INCLUDING THE REPRODUCTIVE UNIT. ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY, IS THAT IT MAY BE WORTH A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE CONTENT OF A YEARLONG COURSE THAT THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS WERE MADE PERFECTLY AWARE OF AND CONSENTED TO BEFORE A MINUTE LONG VIDEO CLIP COSTS A WONDERFUL TEACHER MORE OF HER LIVELIHOOD THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN. THANK YOU. HELLO. MY NAME IS LILLIAN LAZARUS. I AM HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT ABOUT THE INCIDENT WITH MS RAYBURN. I WORRY FOR THE FUTURE OF THE STUDENTS THAT WERE PUT UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THIS BOARD. I TOO, ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT AND HAVE HAD TEACHERS PRACTICED DISGUSTING MISCONDUCT TOWARDS STUDENTS, YET THEIR CASES GO UNPUNISHED. INCIDENTS OF TEACHERS, CALLING STUDENTS SLURS AND MAKING COMMENTS CREATING UNSAFE AND HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

THAT WERE MET WITH A CONVERSATION AND NOTHING MORE. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO CALL YOURSELF THE DISTRICT THAT FEEDS INTO THIS WITCH HUNT. DEMANDING DETERMINATE MISS RAYBURN. THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN DOXED SENT DEATH THREATS AND CALLED DISGUSTING THINGS. I HOPE THAT DOESN'T JUST WEIGH ON THE CONSCIENCE OF THE INDIVIDUALS COMMITTING THE ACT. BUT EVERY PERSON NOT IN HER CORNER AND INCLUDE MY TIME TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT I WILL LOVE TO INSIST ASSIST HER IN THE PURSUIT OF A WRONGFUL TERMINATION LAWSUIT IN THE CASE THAT THE CORRUPTION THAT THIS BOARD IS BUILT ON SIXTIES IN THIS WITCH HUNT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OKAY? NEXT UP. BRIAN DUTTON. DR NANCY WATKINS. SARAH PHILLIPS. AND MS LINDA MANNION. UH, I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY IN SUPPORT OF JUDY RAY BERG. UM AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE SHE IS. YOU'VE PROBABLY RECEIVED A LOT OF ANGRY EMAILS, BOTH FROM PEOPLE HERE AND FROM PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AS THIS HAS BECOME KIND OF A FIRESTORM IF YOU WILL IN THE MEDIA. I HOPE YOU'VE ALSO REALIZED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST ANGRY ABOUT THIS ARE THE PEOPLE FURTHEST FROM THE SITUATION. UM, AS EVIDENCED BY

[01:30:03]

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS DR NANCY WATKINS. AND I'M A RETIRED L UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TEACHER AND A CURRENT PROFESSOR AT CAL STATE FULLERTON , ONE OF STEPHEN COVEY'S HAS SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. STATES BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND. WHAT IS THE OUTCOME OR THE END THAT THIS SCHOOL BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT ARE SEEKING WITH CURRENT DECISIONS, ADDITIONAL CHAOS AND CONFLICT? ARE YOU ACTIVELY WORKING TO DESTROY THE CULTURE AND STRENGTH OF P Y L DO YOU WANT TO DISMANTLE P Y EL SCHOOLS AND THEIR SUCCESS? DO YOU WANT PROPERTY VALUES TO DECLINE AND CONTINUE TO LOSE ENROLLMENT AS PEOPLE LOSE CONFIDENCE IN OUR DISTRICT? WE'RE WITNESSING AN EXODUS OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERS WITH DEEP INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE LEADERS OR WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE DISTRICT'S HISTORY, CULTURE, STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES. THIS KNOWLEDGE ENABLES DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO MAKE INFORMED DECISION LEVERAGE PAST SUCCESS AND ADDRESS PERSISTENT AFFECTIVE EFFECTIVELY ISSUES EFFECTIVELY.

THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP IS NOT CHOSEN TO LEARN ABOUT OR UNDERSTAND PY WELL AS EXPERIENCED BY KNEE JERK SILO DECISION MAKING, IGNORING A MAJORITY OF STAKEHOLDERS AND CREATING INSTABILITY IN THE LEADERSHIP OF P Y L. THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN CIRCUMVENTION OF PROTOCOL FOR RELEASING, REMOVING REASSIGNING AND HIRING EDUCATIONAL LEADERS HAS THRUST P Y EL DEEPER INTO CONTROVERSY AND DEMONSTRATES THAT THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S DESIRE TO PUSH THEIR PARTISAN AGENDA INSTEAD OF UNDERSTANDING AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY. BETTER FOR P Y EL LEADERSHIP IS TO ADOPT COVEY'S HABIT. SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN BE UNDERSTOOD. TRY TO UNDERSTAND PY WELL BEFORE YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT YOU, DR TRANSPARENCY. THANK YOU, MA'AM. OKAY? GOOD EVENING ONE AND ALL. I'M SARAH PHILLIPS TEACHER LIBRARY, YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL. THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIANS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A DISTRICT COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR CHALLENGED BOOKS SINCE DECEMBER OF 2021. WE WROTE A DOCUMENT TOGETHER AND IT'S SITTING WITH ED SERVICES. WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS ON THIS DOCUMENT RATHER THAN, UH, WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK WITH THE BANNING OF TWO BOOKS? WAS THERE A PROCESS FOLLOWED TO MAKE THAT DECISION? THE LIBRARIES ARE FREE CHOICE SPACE. IT STRIVES TO MAKE EVERY STUDENT FEEL SEEN IN THE COLLECTION WHILE PROVIDING MATERIAL FOR RESEARCH AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE MATERIALS. WE SELECT OUR AGE APPROPRIATE, ACCORDING TO REVIEWS AND PUBLISHER ACCOUNTS, BUT THERE ARE BOOKS THAT TEENS COULD TAKE OFFENSE, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO READ THEM. WE NEVER ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO READ ANYTHING THAT THEY FIND OFFENSIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR VALUES OR PERSONAL BELIEFS. UM INSIDE THE DOCUMENT THAT WE WROTE, UM, OF OUR DRAFT COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY. I WANT TO READ A COUPLE OF EXCERPTS. UM FROM ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS LINKED IN THEIR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS AND QUESTIONABLY POSSESS. FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE LIBRARY AND A VARIETY OF FORMATS. CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED SPEECH CANNOT BE SUPPRESSED SOLELY TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS FROM IDEAS OR IMAGES. LEGISLATIVE BODY BELIEFS TO BE UNSUITABLE FOR THEM. LIBRARIES AND THEIR GOVERNING BODIES CANNOT ASSUME THE ROLE OF PARENTS, LIBRARIES AND THEIR GOVERNING BODIES SHALL ENSURE THAT ONLY STUDENTS IN GUARDIANS HAVE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THEIR CHILDREN AND ONLY THEIR CHILDREN. ACCESS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES. THANK YOU, MISS PHILLIPS. YOU HMM. GOOD EVENING . I'M LINDA MANNION, PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF LISTEN, SHALONDA EDUCATORS. UH A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, YOU BROUGHT THE PORNO FINO BUILT TO ME ABOUT SCREENING FOR DYSLEXIA. AND I'VE BEEN WORKING AND RESEARCHING THAT AND YOU WERE CONCERNED THAT TO HADN'T SUPPORTED THAT. WELL THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE THE SUPPORTS WERE IN PLACE. BUT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR AND NOW THERE IS A VERY VIABLE SCREENING. UM PROPOSALS AS PART OF THE MAY REVISE THEM.

[01:35:08]

MY NAME IS BRENT. UM I DID K THROUGH 12 IN THIS DISTRICT, AND SO OR WILL MY CHILDREN UM. I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THE GASLIGHTING THAT'S CONTINUING HERE ABOUT THE TEACHER IN QUESTION. UM THE DEFENDERS OF THIS INAPPROPRIATE ELDORADO ANATOMY CLASS TEACHER. HAVE DESCRIBED HER LAST BOARD MEETING AS ACTING IN GOOD FAITH AND MAKING AN HONEST MISTAKE. THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO FRAME THIS REGRETTABLE INCIDENT AS A ONE TIME SLIP UP THAT NEEDS TO BE THE IMMEDIATELY FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN. AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS A MISTAKE IT APPARENTLY WAS NOT A ONE TIME INAPPROPRIATE CLASSROOM CONVERSATION FOR THIS TEACHER. SINCE THE LAST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE ELDORADO PRINCIPLE BY STUDENTS IN THE ANATOMY CLASS THAT THE SAME TEACHER ALLEGEDLY SPOKE TO THE CLASS ABOUT THINGS SHE'S DONE ON THE BEACH IN DANA POINT.

I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT WHAT IT WAS. THIS WAS IMPORTED TO ME DIRECTLY BY A PARENT OF ONE OF THE STUDENTS IN THE CLASS WAS THERE TO WITNESS IT FIRSTHAND. I'M CALLING FOR AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS INCIDENT BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE SCHOOL BOARD. THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS TYPE OF EGREGIOUS BEHAVIOR. MICHAELA. HI EVERYONE. MY NAME IS MAKAYLA MCCUNE AND I'M A SPECIALTY ICU REGISTERED NURSE AS WELL AS AN ELDORADO ALUMNI. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE BEST STUDENT GROWING UP UNTIL COLLEGE AND ESPECIALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL. I HAD MS RAYBURN IN 2016 FOR ANATOMY. GO FIGURE I BECOME A NURSE. I KNOW EVERYONE'S KIND OF TALKED ABOUT HER. IN THE SENSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE'S A SYLLABUS AND WHATNOT, AND I CAN SAY THAT I ALSO TOOK HEALTH CLASSES IN ELDORADO AS A FRESHMAN AS REQUIRED BY EVERYONE ELSE, AND I GOT LESS THAN ONE CLASS PERIOD ON SEX EDUCATION DUE TO THE MALE TEACHERS DISCOMFORT, TALKING ABOUT THE TOPIC AT THE TIME. THAT BEING SAID. THESE KIDS. SORRY PARENTS, BUT 60% OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE. RATHER THAT'S HETEROSEXUALITY OR HOMOSEXUALITY, AND THAT'S COMING FROM THE CDC. NOT TO MENTION 95% OF TEENAGERS AGED 13 TO 17 HAVE ACCESS TO THE MEDIA VIEW THEIR PHONES AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. MS RAYBURN AGAIN WITH SPREADING REPUTABLE KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION TO RENT FURTHER IGNORANCE. TO ANYONE ELSE. UM, SHE ALSO ALWAYS DISCLOSES IF ANYONE FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE ANYTIME DURING THIS PART OF THE LECTURE THAT SHE WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY. WOULDN'T WE RATHER HAVE OUR STUDENTS EDUCATED ABOUT SAFE SEX? STUDENTS ARE GOING TO ASK A QUESTION. IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU'RE BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS OF TRUST AND SECURITY THAT MISS RAYBURN HAS SPENT YEARS BUILDING WITH HER STUDENTS. WHOEVER TOOK THAT VIDEO TOOK IT WITHOUT HER CONSENT, WHICH IS ANOTHER ISSUE WE CAN TALK ABOUT. NOT TO MENTION I WOULD NOT BE AN RN STANDING HERE TODAY. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CONFIDENCE SHE GAVE ME. AND THAT ITSELF IS IRREPLACEABLE. I IMPLORE YOU TO PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR OPINIONS AND RESPECTFULLY UPDATE YOUR POLICIES AND PRIORITIES. WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM EVERYTHING, BUT WE CAN EDUCATE THEM. THANK YOU. HELLO, PAULA POWERS. AS I WELCOME DR YOUNG TO OUR BOARD. UM I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY SHOCK AND LOSING DOCTOR ADAMSON, ONE IN A MILLION LITER. I'M SAD. DR TURNER'S WILL NOT GET TO WORK ALONGSIDE ONE OF THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE, HARDWORKING PROFESSIONALS THAT HAS BEEN PART OF OUR P Y EL FAMILY FOR OVER A DECADE. DR ADAMSON WORE MANY HATS AND MET EACH CHALLENGE WITH

[01:40:06]

AFTER HER TIME AT ROSE. WE WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE HER MOVE TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE, KNOWING THAT HER DEDICATION TO OUR KIDS WOULD BE FOREFRONT OF EVERY DECISION SHE MADE. HER ABILITY TO LISTEN . STUDY DATA AND MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS GUIDING THIS DISTRICT WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH. DR ADAMSON NEEDED NOTICED AND NURTURED EACH MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY. SHE LED WITH HER HEART, WHICH MADE THOSE WHO WORKED WITH HER RESPECT AND SUPPORT HER. HER SMILE. KIND WORDS. WARM, LAUGH AND ADORABLE ACCENT CANNOT BE REPLACED. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR KEEPING OUR CHILDREN HER GUIDING STAR LISTENING INTENTLY TO THEIR CONCERNS, ENCOURAGING THEM AT EVERY TURN AND SHARING THEIR JOY DURING PROMOTIONS AND GRADUATIONS. I'M SO SAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO SUCH A SPECIAL LEADER . I WISH HER THE VERY BEST ON HER NEXT CHAPTER. THANK YOU, MA'AM. MY NAME IS SHANNON MURRAY AND I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK ALL OF THE TEACHERS WHO CELEBRATED THIS MONTH PRIDE AND INCLUSIVITY THEME DESPITE THE DISTRICT'S LAST MINUTE SWITCH TO NATIONAL SAFETY MONTH. THANK YOU FOR CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS CELEBRATING AND SUPPORTING THIS VULNERABLE AND TARGETED COMMUNITY. AND THANK YOU FOR EXEMPLIFYING A MESSAGE OF INCLUSIVITY, WHICH HELPS MINIMIZE THE HATRED AND FEAR THAT CAN PRESENT A DANGER TO OUR COMMUNITY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT UP. D.

LAWRENCE. REGULAR. KITTY CHOW. MARKIS HOLLY. AND LAUREN AFTER. IT'S RAD. LOWER. THANK YOU. TIME TO SET ASIDE THE POLITICAL RHETORIC. AS EVIDENCED BY LAST WEEK'S MOST FIERY SPEAKER, GETTING UP HERE KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT OUR DISTRICT, OUR CHILDREN OR OUR TEACHERS, MAKING HIS POLITICAL STATEMENTS AND MAKING A BEELINE FOR THE DOOR. AS WELL AS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL SUPPORTERS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY WERE RESIDENTS, BUT THEY MADE A BEELINE OUT OF HERE, SO I DON'T SEE THEM CARING ABOUT OUR DISTRICT. IT'S TIME TO SET UP.

WHAT SENATORS SIDE CAN WE FOCUS FOR A MINUTE LITERALLY AND LOOK AT THE DEMONSTRABLE RESULTS OF MRS RAY BOURQUE'S DEDICATED APPROACH TO TEACHING? LAST MEETING WE HEARD STUDENT AFTER STUDENT PRAISING HER STYLE AND HONEST APPROACH TOWARDS ADDRESSING VERY REAL AND SENSITIVE ISSUES AND AN ACCURATE CLINICAL AND, YES, AGE APPROPRIATE MATTER. STUDENTS ARE NOT INFANTS. MANY MANY OF THE CASES THEY'RE ALREADY LEGAL ADULTS. THESE AND CURRENT FOR THESE CURRENT AND FORMER STUDENTS ALL APPEARED TO BE RATIONAL, WELL ADJUSTED, SUCCESSFUL, CRITICALLY THINKING AND WELL SPOKEN YOUNG ADULTS, NOT A DEVIANT AMONG THEM, DESPITE THEIR EXPOSURE TO A TEACHER. SOME ARE CALLING DANGEROUS, PERVERTED AND WORSE.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT NOT A SINGLE STUDENT SPOKE ABOUT SPOKE OUT AGAINST US BELOVED EDUCATOR . ALL MY CHILDREN HAD MRS RAYBURN AND THERE'S DIFFERENT AS THEY MAY BE FROM ONE ANOTHER.

THEY ALL ADORED HER AND GREW UP TO BE WELL ADJUSTED, INDEPENDENT , CRITICALLY THINKING ADULTS.

THE HARM THAT SOME FOLKS ARE IMAGINING SIMPLY HAS NOT MANIFESTED ITSELF. AND MRS RABER IS 20, PLUS YEARS OF EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN RECALL THE RECENT WORDS BY A FLORIDA EDUCATOR.

STUDENTS DON'T CARE WHAT YOU KNOW, UNLESS THEY KNOW YOU CARE AT THE RISK OF BEING CALLED A HERETIC FOR FREE REFRAMING SHAKESPEARE. WE SHOULD BE PRAISING THIS DEDICATED EDUCATOR TRYING TO BURY HER. THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. IT IS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN PROPOSING A PLAN WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE YL USD SCHOOLS. THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDE THE SCHOOL CALLED THE ORANGE COUNTY CLASSICAL ACADEMY, OR FOR SHORT , AND THE 0 CC. A IS LOOKING TO EXPAND ITS CURRENT CAMPUS IN ORANGE INTO P Y EL USD SCHOOLS. THEY WANT A PORTION OF CLASSROOMS, SHARED BATHROOMS. SHARED KITCHEN SPACE IS SHARED PLAY AREAS AND SHARED MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS. THE

[01:45:02]

AH, FIRST. STARTING DECEMBER. NOVEMBER I GATHER DIFFERENT NAMES OF FAMILIES AND I GATHER DIFFERENT SCHOOLS THAT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR ADOPTIVE FAMILY. OUTREACH PROGRAM. THIS YEAR WE ADOPTED 25 FAMILIES, WHICH IS THE MOST WE'VE EVER DONE. ALRIGHT, IT.

INVOLVED MANY ELEMENTARY MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS. I THINK ABOUT 16 DIFFERENT ONES, SO OBVIOUSLY MANY SCHOOLS ADOPTED TWO OR MORE FAMILIES THEMSELVES. THEN THE SHAMROCK AND ROLL WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, IS SHAMROCK AND RUN. SORRY. IS SPONSORED BY THE RICH FOUNDATION. WE DONATE A SPONSORSHIP. FOR THEM, AND WE HAVE A TEAM OF TEACHERS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE TWO K. LESS BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST. WE GIVE OUT AN APPLE SCHOLARSHIP $500 EACH FOR EVERY HIGH SCHOOL. THE ACADEMIC THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT WE ASKED FOR OUR IN ACADEMIC OF 3.0 OR MORE. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. AND THAT THEY PURSUE A SERVICE ORIENTED CAREER. OH DEAR. THANK YOU, MA'AM. SHOOT QUICK, DOESN'T IT NEXT TIME THANK YOU. HELLO I AM LAUREN HOUGH WRITER AND I'M ALSO AN ELDER GRADUATE AND A CURRENT BIOLOGY MAJOR AT CAL STATE FULLERTON. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO STUDENT TEACH FOR JUDY RAY BRIG. BUT IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS THAT MAY NOT HAPPEN, HOWEVER, THAT DREAM WAS ACTUALLY INTERRUPTED LAST YEAR AS WELL, BECAUSE I LEARNED THAT THE DISTRICT DID BAN CRT IN SCHOOLS. CAL STATE FULLERTON RESPONDED BY PREVENTING STUDENT TEACHERS FROM COMING INTO THIS DISTRICT AT THE SAME VOLUME AS THEY WERE AND IF YOU'RE AT A DISCIPLINE, JUDY RAY BERG, IT WOULD FEEL LIKE ANOTHER STEP IN A LINE OF POLITICAL DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN I FEEL UNJUSTLY MOTIVATED. THERE'S A LOT OF STATISTICS THAT SORT OF SHOW THAT A COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL EDUCATION THAT IS ONE THAT INCLUDES THE PLEASURE FUNCTIONS OF GENITALS AS WELL AS JUST REPRODUCTION IS NECESSARY FOR STUDENTS, WELL BEING AND PROPER DEVELOPMENT AND REDUCES THE RISK OF PREGNANCY RISK AND STD SPREADING IN SCHOOLS. BUT IT JUST SORT OF FEELS LIKE PEOPLE ARE MORE WILLING TO LISTEN TO GREG GUTFELD AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAN'T EVEN REALLY DEFINED GROOMING OVER THE ACTUAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE REAL STATISTICS THAT HAVE SHOWN THAT JUDY ROBERT HAS DONE VERY MUCH A GOOD THING. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR LAST SPEAKER, DENISE MAY. I'M DENISE MAY. I'VE NEVER SPOKEN. SO I'M HERE TO TALK FIRST ABOUT YOUR CIVILITY POLICY. MY BEEN HERE FOR 23 YEARS. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, I'VE BEEN CALLED A COMMUNIST, A GROOMER, A PEDOPHILE SITTING IN THIS AUDIENCE. IT'S YOUR JOB. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CIVIL. TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU HAD A MAN HERE SCREAMING AT TEACHERS STAY IN YOUR LANE. THAT'S YOUR TIME TO SAY THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S NOT CIVIL. IT DOES NOT. UM AND

AND SO IT HELPS ME UNDERSTAND, EVEN BEYOND AH, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE. I MISSED THE CSC A LUNCHEON. I USUALLY TRY TO ATTEND THAT EVERY YEAR, BUT, UM , IT WAS SUPER BUSY THAT DAY, AND I DIDN'T MAKE IT. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. I HOPE IT WAS A GREAT LUNCHEON. UM THE PLACENTA. FIRST RESPONDERS. BREAKFAST WAS GREAT. UM AS USUAL DOWN THERE IN THE DOWNTOWN OF PLACENTA. IT WAS NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY THERE AND BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.

[02:00:04]

UM IT WAS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THEY CAN DO NEXT YEAR. AND, UM SEEING HOW THEY IMPROVE. I WENT TO MARKET DAY, GLEN NO. YOU WENT TO MARKET DAY. IT WAS SO FUN. WE HAVE AMAZING THIRD GRADE TEACHERS OVER THERE AND THIRD GRADERS AND I LOVED ALL THEIR PRODUCTS. UM I GOT TO WITNESS MANY ENTREPRENEUR SKILLS FROM THESE YOUNG KIDS AS THEY WERE BARGAINING WITH STUDENTS TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS AND PROJECTS RANGED FROM TOYS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, PLANTS, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, JEWELRY, BEAUTY ITEMS, ORIGINAL ART, ETCETERA, AND I LEFT MY PRODUCTS AT HOME.

I WAS GOING TO SHOW SOME OF THEM. THAT I PURCHASED UM, IT WAS FUN. I ATTENDED FIVE

[02:05:06]

SO FUN TO BE THERE AND REPRESENT THE DISTRICT IN CELEBRATING OUR STUDENTS AND ALL THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. AND, UM. AND TO SEE WHERE THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE AND I'M JUST THIS IS THE BEST PART ABOUT MY JOB. IT'S REALLY CELEBRATING WITH OUR STUDENTS, AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO DR LINDA ADAMS, WHO SERVED OUR DISTRICT FAITHFULLY FOR MANY YEARS. SHE WAS TRULY DEDICATED TO LIFTING STAFF AND STUDENTS. SO THEY COULD ALL REACH THEIR POTENTIAL. SHE PERSONALLY HELPED ME TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EL CAP PROCESS AND ANSWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE EL CAP AND CURRICULUM. AS WE PREPARED TO ADOPT THESE FOR OUR DISTRICT, AND I WILL TRULY MISS WORKING WITH HER AND WANT TO WISH HER ALL THE SUCCESS IN HER NEW JOURNEY. I SECOND THAT HAVING HER AS THE PRINCIPLE OF MY CHILDREN'S SCHOOL WEEK, UM, HAD SOME SPECIAL TIMES TOGETHER. SO BEST OF LUCK TO LINDA. ALRIGHT SO, YEAH, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A BORDER PORTS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS TO COVER. I'M JUST GONNA HIT SOME HIGHLIGHTS. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WAS I WAS INVITED BY MISS PAULA POWERS TO ROSE DRIVE TO COME TO THE YEAH, IT WAS GREAT. I CAME TO THE 1ST AND 4TH GRADE OF KINDNESS PRESENTATION. THEY HAVE A BUDDY SYSTEM AND THIS IS KIND OF A COMBINATION OF THEIR YEAR AND IT WAS JUST NEED TO SEE THE KIDS. UM KIND OF CELEBRATE KINDNESS AND THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS LITERALLY BEING KIND, WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF IN THIS WORLD. I GOT TO MEET MRS NAPPY AND TOOK A TOUR OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. UM GOT TO SEE SEVERAL PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS HAVE KIDS THAT WERE AT ROSE.

DRIVE THAT I YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR A WHILE, SO THAT WAS NEAT TO SEE THEIR KIDS INVOLVED.

AND THE THING THAT THE THEME THAT I SAW AS I WENT AROUND ROSE DRIVE IS THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT CREATIVE WAYS TO TEACH THINGS TO KIDS, AND EVERY CLASSROOM HAS SOMETHING THEY WERE DOING DIFFERENT. I THINK MY FAVORITE ONE NO OFFENSE TO ANY OTHER CLASS. AH BUT THERE WAS A WRITING ASSIGNMENT WHERE THEY WERE USING EMOJIS AND THEY GIVE THE KIDS ONE EMOJI AND THEY START A STORY AND THEN A SECOND EMOJI, AND THEN THEY CONTINUE THE STORY. IT WAS LIKE THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT'S PHENOMENAL. I LOVE THAT AND THE KIDS WERE SHARING SOME OF THEIR STORIES IN CLASS. IT'S JUST I LOVE SEEING KIDS GET EXCITED. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET THEM TO LEARN, AND I THINK IT'S REALLY NEAT TO SEE THAT AND ACTUALLY GET TO EXPERIENCE IT. I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO THE APP JAM COMPETITION, BUT I GOT A HOLD OF MR KEMP AND I WAS ABLE TO GO OVER TO EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO SEE THE AP CHEM CLASS WHERE THE KIDS WERE PREPARING FOR THAT AND GOT TO TALK TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT RUNS IT AND TALK TO THE STAFF AND THAT PROGRAM. I DIDN'T KNOW IT EXISTED. AND IT'S PHENOMENAL. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I MEAN, I BUILD APPS MYSELF. THE FACT THAT WE CAN EQUIP KIDS TO HAVE A SKILL MY THEME THROUGHOUT. EVERYTHING IS PREPARE THEM FOR AFTER SCHOOL. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, AND THIS IS JUST YET ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE AT THIS DISTRICT THAT WE NEED TO SING THE PRAISES OF ITS PHENOMENAL I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE COMPETITION. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT OF FUN. UM THEN I GOT TO WHAT'S THAT? I DON'T KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE REALLY SMART, AND I AM NOT AS SMART SOMETIMES AH, I GOT TO ATTEND THE MARKET DAY AT GLENDALE. LUCKILY IT WAS MY ANNIVERSARY TWO DAYS LATER, SO I GOT TO GET GIFTS FROM MY WIFE. IT WAS GREAT. SHE LOVED THEM. SHE CAME HOME TO COUNTER WHAT ARE ALL THESE? LET ME TELL YOU, UM NO, I JUST AGAIN. IT'S A THEME OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR KIDS TO SEE. HEY I MAY NOT BE GREAT AT WRITING A PAPER, BUT I KNOW, SURE KNOW HOW TO STAND UP AND GET PEOPLE TO COME IN MY BOOTH AND SELL OUT OF ALL MY STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS TO SEE THE THINGS THAT THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH WITH SKILLS THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD. SO THAT WAS PHENOMENAL. AND THEN TWO LAST THINGS, I GUESS, ELDORADO I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE ELDORADO SENIOR AWARDS. THE THING THAT BLEW ME AWAY THERE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY GIVEN OUT IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO THESE KIDS. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, FUNDING YOURSELF INTO COLLEGE, THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO GET SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THIS DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY. I JUST HAVE TO APPLY, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL KIDS THAT WERE SHE GOT ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP. WE I MEAN, WE LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF THEM WAS LIKE THAT. THAT GIRL WAS UP THERE SIX TIMES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS BECAUSE SHE WAS DOING EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO MAKE SURE SHE COULD GET TO THAT, UM, NEXT LEVEL, SO THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND LASTLY AS MY ROOKIE GRADUATION SEASON, UM AND NOBODY TOLD ME THE ONSLAUGHT OF GRADUATION. EXCITEMENT THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A BOARD MEMBER. UM BUT IT WAS IT WAS A LOT WAS A LONG WEEK. I DON'T KNOW. I'M STILL EXHAUSTED, BUT IT WAS. IT WAS GREAT GETTING TO EXPERIENCE THAT AND I'VE NEVER SEEN MORE SMILES ON HIGH SCHOOLERS FACES THAN AT GRADUATION. YOU WALK AROUND CAMPUSES, AND YOU DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF I SAW HERE EAR TO EAR ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH 98%

[02:10:06]

I WENT TO BERNARDO YORBA MIDDLE SCHOOL'S GRADUATION. UM, YOU'RE GOING HIGH SCHOOL, ESPERANZA.

AND AH, LIKE I SAID, IT WAS JUST FUN. IT'S TIGHT. IT'S IS A LITTLE TIRING, BUT IT'S A BUT IT IS. IT'S SO FUN TO SEE ALL THIS SMILING FACES AND THEY'RE SO HAPPY AND SHAKE ALL THE HANDS AND LET ME TELL YOU, THERE'S SOME REALLY FIRM HANDSHAKES. YOU KIND OF LIKE, HAVE A LITTLE WHIPLASH AFTER THAT FROM THE YOU KNOW, THE EXCITED UM AND THE FIRMNESS OF THAT OF SOME OF THOSE SHAKES. UM SOMEBODY DID. WE THOUGHT LIKE A MAJOR INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED.

AND SO I AM SO CONFIDENT AND EVERYONE WHO'S SITTING UP HERE I AM CONFIDENT IN OUR DIRECTORS. I'M CONFIDENT OUR PRINCIPLES. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN AMAZING YEAR GOING FORWARD. AND SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO NOT LISTEN TO THE GOSSIP AND NOT TO LISTEN TO. YOU KNOW THE BOARD IS DOING SOMETHING TERRIBLE. IT'S TANKING BECAUSE I THINK IN THE NEXT YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE. UM IN THIS DISTRICT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF OPEN COMMUNICATION. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE STUDENT CENTERED. ACTIVITIES YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE STUDENT CENTERED CLASSROOMS AND THAT HAS BEEN THE GOAL OF US FOR A WHILE AND WE'RE HERE, AND I WOULD SAY THAT WITHIN THE LAST SIX WEEKS WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH. SO, SO MUCH LIKE WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT IN SIX WEEKS. WE

[02:20:01]

[BOARD PRESENTATION]

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD WORD OF TRUSTEES, DR ERNEST EXECUTIVE CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THIS EVENING I WILL PRESENT TO YOU P . WALES LOCAL INDICATORS, AS MEASURED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED STANDARDS WITHIN EACH PRIORITY AREA. CALIFORNIA'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD IS BASED ON EIGHT STATE PRIORITIES. IN ORDER TO MEASURE EACH OF THESE PRIORITIES, THE STATE HAS ESTABLISHED BOTH STATE MEASURES AND LOCAL INDICATORS, LOCAL INDICATORS OR MEASURES FOR SOME OF THE STATE'S PRIORITIES THAT ARE NOT COLLECTED OR REPORTED BY THE STATE. DISTRICTS MUST LOCALLY COLLECT DATA TO MEASURE AND REPORT OUT OUR PROGRESS ON SPECIFIC PRIORITY AREAS THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THIS APPROACH EMPHASIZES LOCAL CONTROL ENSURES A SEAMLESS ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS ACROSS STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS AND PAINTS A HOLISTIC PICTURE OF OUR DISTRICTS OVERALL PROGRESS. THIS CHART SERVES TO SUMMARIZE THE STATE'S PRIORITIES AND ILLUMINATES THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN WHAT IS MEASURED BY THE STATE VERSUS WHAT IS MEASURED BY EACH DISTRICT. WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT OUR PROGRESS ON FIVE LOCAL INDICATORS REFERRED TO AS PRIORITIES, WHICH FOCUS ON BASIC SERVICES, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE, CALIFORNIA STATE STANDARDS, PARENT ENGAGEMENT, SCHOOL CLIMATE AND COURSE ACCESS . IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AS WE EXAMINE THE LOCAL INDICATORS, BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA WERE USED, INCLUDING LOCAL SURVEYS IN HOUSE REPORTS, STATE REFLECTIVE TOOLS AS WELL AS SELF ASSESSMENTS.

PARTY ONE FOCUSES ON BASIC SERVICES IN THE AREA OF APPROPRIATELY ASSIGNED TEACHERS . WE HAD ZERO TEACHER MR SIMON'S AND ZERO VACANT T SHIRT POSITIONS IN THE AREA OF CURRICULUM, ALIGNED MATERIALS, ALL STUDENTS HAD ACCESS TO CURRICULUM ALIGNED MATERIALS, ACCORDING TO THE WILLIAMS COMPLIANCE REPORT OF 22 23. IN THE AREA OF CLEAN AND FUNCTIONING SCHOOL FACILITIES. THE OVERALL RATING FROM THE 22 23 FACILITIES INSPECTIONS TOOLS , ALSO KNOWN AS FIT, INDICATED THAT ALL SCHOOL FACILITIES RECEIVED THE HIGHEST RATING OF GOOD. NEXT IS PRIORITY TO WHICH FOCUSES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STANDARDS. SELF ANALYSIS TOOL, COUPLED WITH THE STAKEHOLDER SURVEY DATA WAS USED TO QUANTIFY PROGRESS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STANDARDS. AT THE TOP OF THE SLIDES. YOU WILL SEE FOUR METRICS EDUCATIONAL SERVICE USED TO DETERMINE OUR LEVEL OF IMPLEMENTATION. FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN MATHEMATICS. WE SCORED OURSELVES AS A THREE AS WE ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT THAT ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS NEEDED, AS WELL AS A DEEPER DIVE INTO OUR STATE STANDARDS. WE CONTINUE TO REFINE AND DEVELOP PACING, GUIDES AND COMING FORWARD OF ASSESSMENTS ACROSS GRADES SPANS AS WELL AS PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN CONTENT AND PEDAGOGY. THIS YEAR AFTER THE INITIAL IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW NEXT

[02:25:05]

FINALLY, WE RATED OURSELVES AT STAGE FOUR FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS AND WORLD LANGUAGE. FOR AN ADDITIONAL MEASURE OF PARTY, TOO. WE HAVE INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING PERCEPTION RATES OF OUR TEACHERS, PARENTS SUPPORT STAFF AND STUDENTS IN THE KILLING THEIR SATISFACTION WHEN RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS ABOUT COMMUNICATION OF STANDARDS. HIGH ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS AND EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK ONGOING AND FREQUENT INPUT FROM ALL EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS AS A MEANS OF ENSURING WE CONTINUE TO PROVE ACROSS THESE AREAS. TO MEASURE PARENT ENGAGEMENT. THE STATE MANDATES THE USE OF SPECIFIC PROMPTS TO QUANTIFY OUR PROGRESS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE'VE EMBEDDED THESE PROMPTS INTO OUR ANNUAL STAKEHOLDER SURVEY IN ORDER TO RADAR OUTCOMES. YEARS AGO, WE CREATED A CROSSWALK TO CORRESPOND TO THE SCALE OF THE STATE'S SELF REFLECTION RATING OF A SCORE OF 1 TO 55 BEING THE HIGHEST RATING ON THE STATE'S FIVE POINT SCALE. SURVEY RESPONSES SHOWED IN THE AREA OF BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR STUDENT OUTCOMES. P WELL, P Y L RECEIVED A RATING OF FOUR OUT OF FIVE. FOR SEEKING INPUT FOR DECISION MAKING. THE RATING WAS A 3.75. WE TAKE ALL STAKEHOLDER AND EDUCATIONAL PARTNER RESULTS SERIOUSLY AND WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPROVING STUDENT OUTCOMES, WHILE ENSURING EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS ARE INVOLVED IN ALL DECISION MAKING. PRIORITY SIX, FOCUSES ON SCHOOL CLIMATE AND ASKED US TO MEASURE STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF SCHOOL SAFETY AND CONNECTEDNESS STUDENTS IN GRADES 358 AND 11 WERE ASKED TO RATE THEIR AGREEMENT ON THREE DIFFERENT STATEMENTS. THE PERCENTAGES ON THE SLIDE INDICATE THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT COMPLETELY OR SOMEWHAT AGREED WITH EACH PROMPT ON THE PROMPT. I FEEL SAFE IDIOT PERCENT OF STUDENTS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. WHICH WAS THE SAME PERCENTAGES LAST YEAR, RESPONDED THAT THEY COMPLETELY AGREED OR SOMEWHAT, AGREED 76% OF THE SECONDARY LEVEL INDICATED AGREEMENT TO THE STATEMENT AS WELL. WELL WE SAW A DECLINE BY 2% WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS DECLINE. FOR THE PROMPT. I BELONG. 87% OF ELEMENTARY STUDENTS COMPLETELY AGREED OR SOMEWHAT AGREED WITH THE PROMPT WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 3% OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND THE SECONDARY STUDENT AGREEMENT INCREASED AS WELL BY 4% YIELDING A 73% FINALLY ADULTS CARE ABOUT ME, 92% OF ELEMENTARY STUDENTS RESPONDED POSITIVELY AND WHICH REFLECTS 11% INCREASE IN 75% AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL. WHICH ALSO INCREASED BY 5. AND FINALLY, THE LAST LOCAL INDICATOR IS PRIORITY SEVEN, WHICH MEASURES COURSE ACCESS. WE ARE REQUIRED TO USE OUR OWN METRICS TO TRACK THE EXTENT TO WHICH ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENROLLED AND ARE ENROLLED IN A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY BASED ON ALL GRADES, SPANS AND DUPLICATED. STUDENT GROUPS, ENGLISH LEARNERS, LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND FOSTER YOUTH. AS WELL AS STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. STARTING AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT ALL STUDENTS RECEIVED ABROAD COURSE OF STUDY , INCLUDING ALL OF THE SIX LISTED CONTIN AREAS. OUR TEACHER TRACK CONTRACT WAS ALSO AMENDED TO ASSURE ALL INTERMENT OF APOLOGIES. OUR TEACHER CONTRACT WAS ALSO AMENDED TO ENSURE ALL ELEMENTARY GENERAL EDUCATION CLASS SIZE MAXIMUMS ARE INCLUSIVE OF MILD, MODERATE SPECIAL DAY CLASS STUDENTS TO ENSURE ACCESS TO THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT. STARTING AT THE ELEMENTARY

[02:30:02]

THAT'S KIND OF A QUESTION. COMMENT UM, I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE HAVE A REALLY STRONG PLAN IN PLACE AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF EMBEDDED INTO OUR GAL CAP FOR INCREASING OUR A THROUGH G CLASS REQUIREMENTS, BUT DO WE KNOW? UM AND THIS IS PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET BACK TO ME ABOUT WHY OUR COMPLETION RATE IS SO LOW IN THOSE 80 GS. WITH ONLY, UM 69 59% OF ALL STUDENTS, COMPLETING A THREE G REQUIREMENTS. YEAH, I WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU. AND ALL THE SPECIFIC DETAILS IN REGARDS TO THAT. YEAH. UNLESS MISS A GILLER. OKAY BUT I'M NOT HAPPY TO GET BACK THAT CONSIDERED. I MEAN TO ME, IT SEEMS LOW, BUT I'M LIKE IS THAT CONSIDERED LOW ON IT JUST SAID THAT THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT MIGHT BE EVEN HIGH FROM A POPULATION STANDPOINT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WHAT'S GOOD OR WHAT'S BAD. AND DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY'RE JUST TAKING ONE A THROUGH G COURSE. OR WHAT IS THAT WAS A THROUGH G COMPLETION , SO THEY COMPLETED THE A THREE CHAMBER ARRANGE, OKAY, BUT I DEFINITELY CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON SPECIFIC ARRANGEMENTS LIKE WHAT'S AVERAGE? WHAT'S AVERAGE OR WHERE DO FALL IN ANA, JUST ANA COUNTY LEVEL. YEAH I CAN DEFINITELY GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

[02:45:04]

REGARDING THE PROPOSITION 98 MINIMUM FUNDING GUARANTEE GUARANTEE IS FORECAST TO DECLINE BY 2 BILLION NEXT YEAR, AND THAT'S DUE TO THE CONTINUED DECLINE IN STATE TAX COLLECTIONS SINCE JANUARY. WE'RE GOING TO COVER THE IMPACT OR THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS DECLINE IN THE GUARANTEE, A LITTLE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. SO HERE'S HERE'S A LOOK AT THIS CHART AND THIS HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY A BUDGET PROPOSAL AND HIS MAY REVISION. AS WE SHARED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. PROP 98 MINIMUM GUARANTEE IS FORECAST TO CLIMBED BY 2 BILLION NEXT YEAR. AND THAT'S BELOW THE ESTIMATES THAT WERE CONTAINED IN THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET. A SLIGHT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE INCREASE IN THE STATUTORY COLA FOR NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS UP MODESTLY FROM 8.13% PROJECTED BACK IN JANUARY TO 8.22% UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISE. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE MAYOR VISION ALSO INCLUDES SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN ONE TIME FUNDING, INCLUDING A $600 MILLION INCREASE IN THE PROPOSED REDUCTION TO THE ARTS, MUSIC AND DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT, AND THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL REDUCTION FROM 1.2 BILLION PROPOSED BACK IN JANUARY TO 1.8 BILLION UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISE.

LIKEWISE, THE GOVERNOR'S ALSO PROPOSING A $2.5 MILLION REDUCTION TO THE LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY BLOCK GRANT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT OF THESE ONE TIME FUNNY REDUCTIONS ON OUR DISTRICT ON THIS NEXT SLIDE. SO REGARDING THE PROPOSED REDUCTION TO THE ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT. THIS WILL TRANSLATE INTO A REDUCTION OF 7.1 MILLION AND ONE TIME FUNDING FOR OUR DISTRICT, WHICH WILL LEAVE A BALANCE OF ABOUT $7.5 MILLION AVAILABLE FOR ALLOCATION IN THE COMING YEAR. LIKEWISE THE PROPOSED REDUCTION TO THE LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY BLOCK GRANT WILL TRANSLATE INTO A REDUCTION OF ABOUT $7.5 MILLION IN ONE TIME FUNDING FOR OUR DISTRICT, LEAVING A BALANCE OF ABOUT 16.2 MILLION AND ONE TIME FUNDING AVAILABLE. ADDITIONALLY IN ORDER TO PROVIDE EVEN MORE FUNDING TO SERVE THE HIGHEST NEED SCHOOLS, GOVERNORS PROPOSING $300 MILLION AN ONGOING FUNDING AS AN ADD ON TO THE L C. F F AND HE'S TURNED THIS NEW FUNDING THE EQUITY

[02:50:03]

WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE USED TO BUILD THEIR ADOPTED BUDGET. AND SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE PROJECTIONS ASSUMPTIONS, BUT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW FIRST LOOKING AT THE SALARY LINES. IF YOU WERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SACKS, FINANCIAL REPORTS, YOU WOULD SEE THE INCREASED COST FOR STEP AND COLIN FOR ALL OF OUR CLASSIFIED CERTIFICATED AND MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES. IF YOU'RE TO DRILL DOWN FURTHER AND LOOK AT THE STATUTORY LINE ITEMS, YOU'D ALSO SEE THE INCREASED COSTS FOR THE CALPERS PENSION SYSTEM THAT'S REFLECTED THERE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE STATUTORY CALLED EARLIER. REGARDING ENROLLMENT WHERE WE ARE PROJECTING CONTINUED DECLINES IN ENROLLMENT OF 400 STUDENTS EACH OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS. OUR ATTENDANCE RATE, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST HAS BEEN ON THE DECLINE DURING THE PANDEMIC AND HAS BEEN FOR MOST DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT HAS APPEARED TO STABILIZE AT ABOUT 93.5% AND YOU'LL NOTICE WE'RE PROJECTING THAT 93.5% TO CONTINUE FORWARD IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. REGARDING YOUR LCF FUNDING PROJECTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THOSE WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR MULTIYEAR PROJECTION HERE IN A BIT. HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT COSTS UP 8.5% NEXT YEAR, AND THAT'S BASED ON THE FINAL NEGOTIATED RATES WITH ALL OF OUR HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PROVIDERS. AND THEN WE ARE BUDGETING. 6% INCREASES EACH OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND THAT'S BASED ON NATIONAL HEALTHCARE COST TRENDS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. SO HERE'S A LOOK AT THE DISTRICT'S MULTIYEAR PROJECTION. AND YOU'LL NOTICE THIS MULTI PROJECTION IS AGAIN IT'S JUST FOCUSED IN ON OR UNRESTRICTED OPERATING ACCOUNTS OR THOSE DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS THAT WE HAVE. AND WE'VE INCLUDED THE CURRENT YEAR 22 23. THIS IS HOW WE ESTIMATE WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE OUT THIS YEAR. WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED 23 24. THIS IS THE ADOPTED BUDGET AND THEN THE TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL. FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. 22 23, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE FORECASTING AND OPERATING SURPLUS OF ALMOST $9.7 MILLION. THAT OPERATING SURPLUS INCLUDES SOME ONE TIME SAVINGS WHEN WE BACK OUT THAT ONE TIME SAVINGS WERE LEFT WITH A STRUCTURAL SURPLUS IN THE CURRENT YEAR OF 6.1 MILLION. I'M MOVING OUT TO 23 24. YOU CAN SEE THE OPERATING SURPLUS PROJECTED AT JUST UNDER 5.9 MILLION. BUT THAT SURPLUS DOES INCLUDE ABOUT 3.6 MILLION IN ONE TIME EXPENSES , SO WE BACK OUT THE ONE TIME EXPENSES WERE LEFT WITH THE STRUCTURAL SURPLUS IN THE BUDGET YEAR. ROUGHLY $9.5 MILLION. WE GO OUT TO 24 25. YOU'LL NOTICE, THOUGH, THAT OPERATING SURPLUS IS PROJECTED TO DECLINE ABOUT $4.5 MILLION, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS, IS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COLA IN 24 25 OF 3.94% IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO OFFSET DECLINING ENROLLMENT, AND AS A RESULT, WE'LL SEE YEAR OVER YEAR REDUCTION OF ABOUT 621,000 IN RL CFF FUNDING THAT YEAR, AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT REDUCTION IN THE PROJECTED OPERATING SURPLUS. SAME THING HOLDS TRUE IN FISCAL YEAR 25 26 YOU SEE THAT SURPLUS DECLINED SLIGHTLY TO 2 MILLION. AGAIN OR OPERATING EXPENDITURES PROJECTED TO INCREASE FASTER THAN OUR OPERATING REVENUES UNDER THE L C F F PRIMARILY DUE TO DECLINING

[02:55:04]

ONE TIME FUNDS THAT ARE DISTRICT HAS RECEIVED. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TRACK THESE DOLLARS SEPARATELY TO ENSURE THAT ONGOING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE NOT CHARGED TO ANY OF THESE ONE TIME FUNDING SOURCES. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT DISTRICTS CAN FIND THEMSELVES IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE IF THEY'RE NOT MAKING THE REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS IN POSITIONS IN SERVICES, CHARGED THIS ONE TIME FUNDING SOURCES.

AS A RESULT, OUR BUSINESS SERVICES DIVISION WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THESE VERY, VERY CLOSELY MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN THIS SLIDE JUST HIGHLIGHTS. THE THREE PRIMARY COST DRIVERS THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL FACE IN THE COMING YEARS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART. THE COST FOR STEPPIN COLUMN MOVEMENT PERSON STIRS PENSION OBLIGATIONS IN HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS GOING UP ON AVERAGE, ABOUT 2.6% OVER THE COURSE OF THAT THREE YEAR FORECAST. ON THE OTHER HAND , AFTER WE ADJUST FOR DECLINING ENROLLMENT, OR ELSE CFF BASED FUNDING EXPECTED INCREASE THAT JUST UNDER 1.7% OVER THAT SAME THREE OR FORECASTS, AND SO, WITH OUR OPERATING EXPENDITURES FORECAST TO RISE FASTER THAN OUR OPERATING REVENUES. THAT WILL LEAD TO REDUCTION IN THAT STRUCTURAL SURPLUS IN THE OUT YEARS, ABSENT EITHER ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM THE STATE OR REDUCTIONS THAT WERE ABLE TO MAKE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND THEN, LASTLY, JUST GOING TO WRAP UP WITH THE REVIEW OF OUR BUDGET TIMELINE. IN ORDER TO MEET THAT JUNE 15TH CONSTITUTIONAL DEADLINE. LEGISLATURE DID PASS THE MAIN BUDGET BILL. THEY DID THAT BACK ON JUNE. 15TH JUST MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT, AND THE GOVERNOR NOW HAS UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH TO SIGN THE FINAL ADOPTED STATE BUDGET. AND OF COURSE, OUR STAFF IS GOING TO VALUE ATENY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MAY REVISION BUDGET PROPOSAL IN THE FINAL ADOPTED BUDGET, AND THEN WE'LL BRING ANY REQUIRED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS BACK TO THE BOARD FOR FUTURE APPROVAL. AND SO THAT'S OUR PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. BEFORE WE OPEN UP THE QUESTIONS AGAIN. I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR OUR DIRECTOR OF FISCAL

[03:00:01]

LESS THAN WHAT IT WAS. UM BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, SO, UM, THIS IS A COMMON THEME. UM AT THE BUSINESS LEVEL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING ON ENROLLMENT RATHER THAN 88. POTENTIALLY UM, BUT, UH , IT'S JUST THE KIDS. KIDS ARE STAYING HOME BECAUSE THEY'RE SICK, RIGHT? AND SO WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE KIDS TO STAY HOME WHEN THEY'RE SICK, SO IT'S A DIFFERENT IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD. UM SO 88 93 94% WHERE WE USED TO BE. 98% IS THE NEW NORM , SO I THINK MORE SO THAN ENCOURAGING KIDS TO COME TO SCHOOL. UM IT'S LOOKING AT, UH, ADVOCATING FOR THE STATE TO FUND SCHOOLS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. BECAUSE WE CAN'T TELL OUR KIDS TO STAY HOME WHEN YOU'RE SICK, AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME SAY, YOU BETTER COME TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. UM, SO I THINK IT'S A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC WE'RE WORKING ON. UM UH, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE MORE KIDS THAT WE CAN BRING INTO THE DISTRICT AND TRY TO GROW THAT ENROLLMENT PIECE. UM THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG TICKET, PARTICULARLY AT THE YOUNGER LEVELS BECAUSE EVERY TK KINDER KID WE BRING IN OUR DISTRICT. WE GET FUNDING FOR THE NEXT 13 YEARS. UM SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU. UM I WAS RELATED TO THAT. I KNOW. I KNOW. IT'S THREE YEAR AVERAGE AS FAR AS ATTENDANCE AND WE'RE LOSING 18 19 COMING UP. WE'RE LOSING 1920. YES SO IT'S THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE REFUND OFF NEXT YEAR. SO 2021 21 22 AND 20 TO 20. SO, YES. SO WE GO INTO THE BAD AVERAGE. NOW ANY NOT TO BRING RAY OF SUNSHINE, BUT IN THESE ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING CALCULATED IN FOR THE IMPACT IN THE FUTURE FROM OPENING THE PRESCHOOLS? I'M GUESSING WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING RELATED TO THE GRANDPARENTS. UH SITUATION, BUT DID WE FACTOR THAT IN OR IS THAT GOING TO BE AN EXTRA BUMP, POTENTIALLY WE HAVE, NOT IN FACT DID THAT IN SO WE'LL BE MONITORING ENROLLMENT VERY CLOSELY AT THE START OF THE YEAR, AND WE'LL SEE WHAT TYPES OF IMPACT THAT MIGHT MAKE. AND IF WE NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, WE CAN MAKE THOSE AT FIRST INTERIM OR SECOND INTERMENT. MOVING FORWARD GREAT GREAT POINT. GO AHEAD. JUST HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE WHAT'S WHAT'S THE MEANS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE TRACKING THOSE? ARE WE JUST GOING TO HAVE A SO SYSTEM IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT? YEAH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE, UH WE TRACK ENROLLMENT DAY BY DAY, SO LITERALLY. EACH DAY WILL COMPARE ENROLLMENT AND WE'LL COMPARE IT TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR, TOO, AND SO WE DO THAT BY GRADE LEVEL, AND SO WE'LL GET A REALLY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE ENROLLMENTS UP WHERE WE'RE DOWN. SO IF WE'RE UP IN TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN, WE'LL SEE THAT RIGHT AWAY. AND SO AS WE BRING FORWARD ANOTHER BUDGET VERSION FOR YOU TO APPROVE THE FIRST INTERVIEW WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE IN DECEMBER. ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE, WE CAN COUNT FOR IT THERE. I JUST WANT TO

[03:05:02]

GOTCHA SO THERE WAS A BIG COLA LARGEST COLA, PROBABLY IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE. YEAH SO THAT'S A BIG REASON FOR THE INCREASE THAT YOU SEE THIS YEAR. SO NOT LIKE STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE DOING GOOD , BUT I'M JUST SAYING, THERE'S DEFINITELY A BIG PART OF MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE STAFFING CLASSROOMS APPROPRIATELY, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ATTRACTING OUR EXPENDITURE IS VERY CLOSELY MANAGING OUR FUNDS. WELL, SO THERE'S DEFINITELY THERE AND WHEN WE COME BACK AND AUGUST WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT OUR BUDGET FOR ALL THIS ONE TIME MONEY, HOW WE'RE GOING TO SPEND IT BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED THERE'S 16 MILLION OR 17 MILLION OF, UH UM LEARNING TO RECOVERY MONEY, AND SO THOSE KIND OF BUDGETS WILL BRING FORWARD FOR NEXT YEAR BLOCK GRANT TO CORRECT GRANT THE PROP 28 OR WHATEVER THAT THE ARTS GRANT. UM SO THERE'LL BE THERE'LL BE OTHER BUDGETS THAT WE TALK ABOUT? WE'RE STILL STARTING TO DO SOME PRELIMINARY PLANNING ON THAT, BECAUSE IT'S MORE MONEY THAT WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA GET AND BUDGET AND SPEND STARTING NEXT YEAR. OKAY. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE ARTS , MUSIC AND THE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS DISCRETIONARY AND THE LEARNING RECOVERY. HOW ABOUT THE DISTRICT ALREADY RECEIVED FANS. ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE BACK FUNDS? HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I BELIEVE I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE TWO PROGRAMS. BUT ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE BEEN OVER ALLOCATED FUNDS, AND SO THE STATE WILL BE CLAWING BACK THOSE DOLLARS AND WHAT WILL HAVE TO DO IS WHEN WE CLOSE OUT OUR BOOKS FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BOOK A LIABILITY FOR THE AMOUNT THEY OVER APPROPRIATED. AND SO OUR FISCAL SERVICES TEAM KNOWS TO PUT THAT ON THERE, YOU'RE ENCLOSING SCHEDULE AND MAKE SURE WE TRACK IT, BUT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT LITERALLY BE GIVEN THEM THAT CASH BACK. DID YOU INCLUDE THAT IN OUR BUDGET? YES BUDGETS BUDGETS. BUDGET SIDE IT IS, BUT I RECALL TWO WE HAD 10 MILLION AND WE HELD IT FOR DR TURNESS. SO DID WE NOT SPENT SPENT IT, SO THAT'S A GOOD THING RIGHT? THERE'S NONE OF THOSE MONIES HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED AS OF YET, SO THOSE DOLLARS THAT I GAVE EARLIER. IT WAS ON THIS SLIDE OVER HERE. OF COURSE, I CAN'T FIND IT. THE WAY IT ALWAYS WORKS. IT WAS IN THE ASSUMPTIONS IT MUST HAVE BEEN FURTHER BACK. WAS IT PART OF THIS? NO FURTHER.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, OLIVIA. YEAH SO IT'S YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH WERE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE ON THIS SLIDE. 7.5 MILLION AVAILABLE FOR THE ARTS MUSIC AND THEN FOR THE LEARNING RECOVERY 16.2. I GUESS JUST ONE MORE COMMENT ABOUT DECLINING ENROLLMENT. UM AND I'M ONLY THINKING OF THIS BECAUSE WE ADDED THE GRANDPARENT CLAWS AND MY NEIGHBOR IS A GRANDPARENTS.

AND ALL OF HER GRANDCHILDREN GO TO A LOCAL PRIVATE SCHOOL AND THEN WALK HOME TO HER HOUSE. AND I'M AND IT'S A IT'S A K EIGHT SCHOOL. SO I WAS WONDERING, ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING ANY OUTREACH TO THOSE PRIVATE SCHOOLS? LETTING THEM KNOW? I MEAN, I'M GOING TO GO TELL MY NEIGHBOR ALL ABOUT HOW SHE CAN SEND HER GRANDKIDS AT THE STREET TIMBERLAND TO HIGH SCHOOL. UM, BUT JUST THINKING OF WAYS THAT WE CAN GET THIS INFORMATION OUT AND INCREASE OUR MOMENT.

CERTAINLY WILL. CERTAINLY WE LOOK FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO TRY AND PROMOTE IT TO OUR PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND ANYWHERE THAT THAT WE CAN PROMOTE IT, KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS IF THEY'RE OUT OF DISTRICT FAMILIES, THEY STILL NEED TO SECURE RELEASE FROM THEIR DISTRICT TO COME. BUT WE WILL GIVE THOSE WITH GRANDPARENTS INSIDE THE DISTRICT RESIDING INSIDE PRIORITY TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO COME. SO UM, BUT BUT WE'LL LOOK FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE THAT WITHIN THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS. SURE. AND JUST LIKE, UM. THIS

[03:10:06]

[HUMAN RESOURCES]

ALRIGHT, MISS NANCY BLADE, WOULD YOU TAKE US THERE? MY CHANCE, AND I. ALL OF YOU AND ALL OF YOU. OKAY, UM BEING BROUGHT FORWARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS AN INCREASE IN THE SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. DAILY RATE OF PAY EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST 2023 WAGES AND A WAGE ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED IN NEW RATES. PROPOSAL WILL MAKE OUR SALARIES COMPETITIVE AS WELL. IT WILL BUILD OUR TEAM OF SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. QUESTIONS I HAVE NO QUESTIONS. BUT I'M REALLY THRILLED THAT WE'RE ADDING THIS ON BECAUSE WE WERE AT THE VERY, VERY BOTTOM OF THE PAY SCALE, AND THIS WILL MAKE US COMPETITIVE AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET SOME MORE SUBSTITUTES. WHY WOULD THEY COME HERE? IF THEY WERE GOING TO GET PAID THE LEFT THE LEAST. SO I'M THRILLED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE? JUST EXCELLENT. OKAY ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. CURIOUS FAVOR.

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

[03:15:11]

[Items 41 & 42]

UM WE DON'T REALLY NEED THAT BECAUSE WE CAN DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE BOARD POLICIES THROUGH THE BOARD DOCKS, AND SO IT'S $31,000. FOR JUST IT'S A LOBBYIST FIRM LIKE WE NEED TO BE. HONEST ABOUT WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS. IT'S A LOBBYIST FOR PAYING 21,004. FOR THEM, AND THEY'RE NOT REALLY LISTENING TO EVERYBODY. BUT THEN ALSO TO WE'RE PAYING AN EXTRA $10,000 FOR THE ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION, AND THEN THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE IF YOU TAKE ANY CLASSES OR IF YOU GO TO ANY CONFERENCES, YOU'RE STILL PAYING OUT OF YOUR POCKET. I WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR US. IF IT WAS IF YOU JOIN, AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE UNLIMITED. CLASSES YOU CAN TAKE UNLIMITED THINGS, BUT THAT'S NOT IT. AND SO I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE TO, ESPECIALLY WITH, UM SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN THE LAST CONFERENCES AND SOME OF THE SPEAKERS. UM I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT, UM IT'S NECESSARY AND I THINK WE CAN ACTUALLY GET TRAINING FROM SEVERAL OTHER SOURCES. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE UM, THAT IS ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH TRAINING JUST BECAUSE WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD ONLY RELY ON THAT. I'VE GONE TO FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT PLACES, UM, FOR TRAINING FOR CERTAIN THINGS, AND IT'S BEEN SPECTACULAR, SO I THINK WE SHOULD ACTUALLY, LIKE, BROADEN OUR HORIZONS. IF YOU WILL. I THINK THIS TRAININGS THAT I'VE BEEN TO UCSB HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR AS WELL. UM, I WENT THROUGH THE MASTERS AND GOVERNANCE PROGRAM AND LEARNED ALL ABOUT SCHOOL, THE VARIETY OF THINGS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN SCHOOLS. THERE HASN'T BEEN SOMETHING AS COMPREHENSIVE AS THAT BEFORE. UM THE THIS THE CSB A IS A, UM UH. IT IS A GROUP THAT LOBBIES BUT THEY'RE LOBBYING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND THEIR LOBBYING ON BEHALF OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT GIVE THEIR OPINION. SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE CALLING UP THERE AND SAYING, UM THIS IS MY THOUGHT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN. THERE'S 5000 MEMBERS AND UM AND CSB A, SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO HAVE ONE PERSON BE ABLE TO HAVE MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER AS A LARGE GROUP TO MAKE THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU LOOK AT GAMUT, AND THE SUBSCRIPTIONS THAT WE CAN USE FOR OUR POLICIES, IT'S. WE COULD SPEND A LOT MORE MONEY WORKING WITH ATTORNEYS TRYING TO BUILD THE POLICIES, UM MUCH MORE THAN WE DO HAVE FOR THE, UM PERCY S B. A JUST OUR ATTORNEYS ALONE, UM, THAT WERE WE JUST APPROVED ARE $500,000 FOR THIS NEXT UPCOMING

[03:20:01]

I'D BE. I MEAN, I'D BE INTERESTED IN SAYING LET'S SEE IF WE THINK WE HAVE THINGS THAT WE'RE MISSING OUT ON. BUT WE DON'T KNOW. I AGREE. IF WE, UM IF WE LEAVE CSB A. THEN I COME OFF OF US DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY VOICE ANYMORE AS A DISTRICT. OKAY? I MEAN, BUT I'M JUST SAYING WHAT IMPACT IS THAT GOING TO MAKE? IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE REALLY KNOW. AND I'M I'M OKAY, SAYING, LET'S TRY IT IF THAT'S AN OPTION. DO YOU SEE DR ERNEST? DO YOU SEE ANY AH! IMMEDIATE NEGATIVE TO NOT HAVING ACCESS TO THE GAMUT SYSTEM. UM I HAVE TO DEFER TO STAFF ON HOW OFTEN THEY'RE RECEIVING THE POLICY UPDATES AND, UM BUT THAT TO ME, THE IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE. AGAIN AS THESE POLICIES THAT I BELIEVE THEY CHARGE, YOU KNOW. I THINK IT'S THE SECOND ITEM HERE. SO IT'S THE SIX GRAND ISH 5006 90 THAT WE'RE UNABLE. THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE ON IT. THEY WON'T ALLOW US TO PAY THAT UNLESS WE WERE YOU KNOW, PAID THE OTHER MEMBERSHIP, BUT TO ME, THAT'S THE IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE UM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN THEY PROVIDE UPDATES, PROVIDE COMMENT TO THAT , USUALLY AS OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM RECEIVES THOSE COMMUNICATIONS ARE ABOUT QUARTERLY. UM, ANYTIME THERE'S CHANGES WITHIN THE LAW, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE CHANGES FOR ANY PERSPECTIVE CHANGES TO OUR BOARD POLICIES OR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS AND WE DIVIDE THOSE UP. AND THEN WE RESEARCHED THOSE TO DETERMINE WHAT CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE WITH EXISTING POLICY RELATIVE TO, UM TO WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE SO THOSE COME ABOUT QUARTERLY WITH WITH ANY CHANGES THAT COME THROUGH THE LAW, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS UPDATED QUARTERLY WITH THE CHANGES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CSB IT'S NOT LIKE WE WON'T GET THAT INFORMATION. BUT NO. IF YOU MAKE CHANGES THE LAW THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO ONLY GIVE IT TO CSB A TO DISPERSE. THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY. THE OTHER WHILE THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT WE DO HAVE AVAILABLE TO US IS ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ED WILL PROVIDE US WITH UPDATES THROUGH STUDENT SERVICES OR THROUGH THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT. ANYTIME THAT THERE ARE CHANGES, THEY SOMETIMES WE'LL RELEASE GUIDANCE ON THAT THAT WILL HELP US BUT WE STILL WOULD NEED TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE LANGUAGE AND THE POLICY, WHICH WE USUALLY GET FROM FROM GAMUT. TYPICALLY YEAH, I THINK THAT THERE ARE WAYS FOR US TO KEEP OUR POLICIES UPDATED. SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW WE CAN.

WE CAN LOOK TO OTHER DISTRICTS. WE CAN RELY ON THE COUNTY. I THINK THAT THAT, UM YOU KNOW, MEMBERSHIP. IN C S B. A. SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT UM, IN MY OPINION, THE ABORTION DECIDE THAT BASED ON THE YOU KNOW, THE ANNUAL POLICY UPDATES STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. I THINK THE BOARD SHOULD CONSIDER THIS MEMBERSHIP AS YOU KNOW, THE YOU KNOW THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF CSB A AS A, YOU KNOW, ADVOCATE UM AND WHETHER THE BOARDS IN LINE WITH THEIR ADVOCACY I WOULD SAY THAT THEY'VE GONE AGAINST PARENTAL RIGHTS OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. I VOTED NO FOR LAST YEAR'S I'M ABOUT NOTE TODAY. I JUST I'M GONNA PUT MY VOICE IN

[03:25:03]

UM THINGS TAUGHT ME TAUGHT ME HOW. TO BE A TRUSTEE AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT, AND, UM, HOW TO ADVOCATE. UM I ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOY OUR PACER REACHED OUT TO OUR REGIONAL PIECES OR SEVERAL TIMES AND I'VE ASKED QUESTIONS AND HAD HIM GATHER INFORMATION FOR ME ON DIFFERENT POLICIES FROM OTHER DISTRICTS. AND THEN I'VE TAKEN THAT INFORMATION AND HELPED HOW HELPED, UM, GATHER STUFF FOR OUR BOARD POLICIES FROM THAT, UM. I REALLY LIKE THE WORKSHOPS. LIKE I SAID, I WENT TO ONE ON THE BUDGET. UM I APPRECIATE THEIR ADVOCATING FOR EDUCATIONAL BILLS. I REALLY LIKE, UM. AND THIS IS GONNA SOUND WEIRD, BUT I LIKE THE DAILY NEWS ARTICLES THAT COME AND I GET TO STAY TOPIC. YOU KNOW, CURRENT ON THE TOPICS, YOU KNOW, READ SIX ARTICLES ON EDUCATION EVERY DAY OF WHAT'S CURRENT OR WHAT THE TRENDS ARE OR WHAT WHAT DISTRICTS ARE FACING THEIR CHALLENGES. THEIR SUCCESS STORIES. UM YOU KNOW, THERE'S.

THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THAT THEY DO, AND I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT. TO BE PART OF THE GAME AND TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DISTRICT IS REPRESENTED IT IN SACRAMENTO WITH OUR VOICE AND SENDING OUR DELEGATES UM, FOR THINGS, SO I THINK WE SHOULD VOTE. YES WE ALSO HAVE, UM, ANNUALLY WE MEET WITH OUR SENATORS AND ASSEMBLY MEMBERS, AND WE DO THAT, UM, WE'VE DONE IT IN SACRAMENTO. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE'VE DONE IT THE ASSUME, BUT WE GET TOGETHER AS AS BOARD MEMBERS FROM OUR REGION FROM ORANGE COUNTY, AND WE TALKED TO THEM SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THINGS THAT IMPACT US IN THIS DISTRICT. AND THIS COUNTY THAT ARE SO DIFFERENT THAN THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTY. I'VE SEEN THINGS CHANGE . UM, I'VE SEEN THE ADVOCACY THAT WE'VE DONE AS A GROUP. GO UM AND MAKE CHANGE IN SACRAMENTO . UM, WE CURRENTLY JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ALL GOT TOGETHER AND MET WITH SENATOR NEWMAN, WHO IS THE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. THAT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND WHEN, WHEN HE'S HEARING FROM ALL OF US AS A REGION, IT HAS A LOT MORE IMPACT THAN WHEN IT'S INDIVIDUALLY, PEOPLE CALLING. SO WHEN WE HAVE A VOICE THAT'S UNITED AND SOMETHING THAT'S TOGETHER WE HAVE A GREATER IMPACT, AND I REALLY THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION TO BE PART OF AND TO CONTINUE TO BE PART OF WHAT WOULD YOU TALKING ABOUT? SENATOR NEWMAN BECAUSE I HEARD HIM ON A ZOOM AND THE THINGS THAT HE WAS SAYING, I DIDN'T THINK WAS REPRESENTATIVE OF A LOT OF PEOPLE WHAT HIS THOUGHTS AND HIS COMMENTS WERE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT THOSE ARE THAT YOU DIDN'T AGREE WITH A LIKE FOR THE ONES THAT I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT. WE TALKED ABOUT LOTS AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH EVERY PIECE OF NEW LEGISLATION THAT'S GOING THROUGH AND HOW IT IMPACTS DIFFERENT DISTRICTS AND HOW IT IMPACTS US. UM FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE LAST ONES WE TALKED ABOUT WAS, UM THERE'S LEGISLATION ABOUT SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS VERSUS LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND A CAP ON THE PAY THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THAT MAKES A BIGGER DIFFERENCE THAN IT DOES FOR US. UM BUT IT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE, UM THERE'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE. THAT WAS JUST MORE RECENT, BUT IT CHANGED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, UM, FOR FUNDING FOR ADMINISTRATORS AT A AT A SMALL, SMALLER DISTRICT SITE. UM SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE WE ARE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER UNIFIED BOARDS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO OURS. THAT, UM THAT WE NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO. UM I THINK I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF VALUE OUT OF IT. I KNOW THAT SOME THINGS ARE NOT, UM NOT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND I DON'T ALIGN WITH EVERY SINGLE ITEM JUST LIKE YOU DON'T BUT AS A WHOLE AND IN GENERAL, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD. I THINK IT'S ONLY REPRESENTING CERTAIN VOICES, AND I WOULD SAY THAT ME AND SEAN. WE SPENT OUR OWN MONEY . WE WENT UP TO SACRAMENTO SEVERAL TIMES, AND WE'VE SAT DOWN WITH MANY OF THE SENATORS AND STUFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO BE YOU KNOW, WITH CSB A WITH OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE. AND SO I JUST DON'T THINK WE NEED TO PAY A LOBBYIST FIRM, UM , TO DO THIS, AND I WOULD RATHER SEE OUR MONEY. UM, GO TO SOMEONE ELSE. UH I'D LIKE TO STUDENTS. DO WE HAVE A DEADLINE? WE HAVE TO DECIDE TONIGHT. GREAT QUESTION. ONE IS THE RENEWAL. AND SO WE DON'T KNOW IF WE RENEW JULY 1 VERSUS AUGUST VERSUS

[03:30:02]

OKAY? OKAY? IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON, OKAY? SO CAN WE PUT 41 AND 42 IN THE SAME CATEGORY? OKAY YEAH, I WOULD SAY THEY GO TOGETHER. WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SECOND ONE WITHOUT THE FIRST ONE CORRECT. SO AS SOON AS WE SEE IF THAT I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT IN THAT, BUT OKAY. COOL. THAT'S WHERE SHE GETS THE BIG BUCKS FOR. MM HMM.

SORRY. I'M LOOKING FOR THE LINK.

SUBDUES NOT PROCESSED BEFORE SEPTEMBER, 15TH WILL RESULT IN A DISRUPTION OF CSB, A SERVICE.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS, CAN WE RENEW? CAN WE START OUR SUBSCRIPTION IF WE REALIZE IN NOVEMBER THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT. CAN WE DO THAT? AND WE HAVE TIME TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BECAUSE WE HAVE TO SEPTEMBER 15TH. SO IF WE DON'T RENEW TONIGHT IF WE VOTE NO TONIGHT AND THEN WE GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WE DON'T LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON. WE CAN RENEW WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER 15TH I'M SAYING ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF WHEN CAN WE? CAN WE JUST RESTART WHENEVER WE WANT. SO THAT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK WITH THEM. YEAH.

CHICKEN TABLE IT UNTIL. UNTIL AUGUST. YEAH, THAT'S FINE WITH ME ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY WITH THAT IDEA. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S AH, WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. WELL, DO WE DO HAVE A MOTION, HOWEVER. WHAT DO YOU WITHDRAW ALL WITHDRAW MY MOTION MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO TABLE I'LL MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MACHINE TABLE. AND IS THERE ANYONE TO SECOND THAT MOTION SECOND? SORRY. OKAY SO AT THIS POINT, WE ARE TABLING. ITEM 41 AND 42. IN ORDER TO REVISIT IN OUR AUGUST MEETING. OKAY FOLKS, THAT LEADS US TO OUR LAST PEACE OR LAST ITEM. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOTION TO ADJOURN WAS BOOK 2ND 2ND. THAT'S BLADES ALL THOSE IN FAVOR BY THE MOTION CARRIES 50 DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON

[03:35:03]

ANY OPPOSED. I I'M OPPOSED TO TABLING. YOU KNOW. ONE OKAY. NOW WE CAN GET TO OUR LAST PIECE. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. ALRIGHT?
