[2. STUDY SESSION (4:00 PM)]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PRESIDENT YOUNGBLOOD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD , DR CHERNUS, SUPERINTENDENT AND MEMBERS OF CABINET. UM PLEASURE TO BE HERE THIS AFTERNOON. AND HOPEFULLY CAN YOU HEAR ME? I NEED TO LEAN IN MAINLAND, OKAY? SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE FOR THE STUDY SESSION. THIS REALLY WAS GENERATED FROM SOME QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT. I THINK A COUPLE OF BOARD MEETINGS AGO ABOUT, UM, GOING OVER THE DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT ARE IN THE BUDGET THAT MAYBE WE DON'T FOCUS ON IN OUR STANDARD BUDGET PRESENTATIONS. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OVER. UM, THE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALL THE FUNDS AT PLACENTIA, YORBA LINDA, AND IT WILL ALSO BE KIND OF DELVING INTO THAT KIND OF WE'LL BE DELVING INTO, UM 1314 25 35 40, ALL OF WHICH WE'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DETAIL AND TALK ABOUT THE FUND BALANCES AND THE PROJECTS WE HAVE IN CUBA RIGHT NOW AND ALSO THINGS THAT ARE PLANNED. UM BEFORE I START I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOU HAVE AN UPDATED PRESENTATION PRINTED OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, UM AND IT HAS MORE DETAIL AS TO THE PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN Q AND WHAT'S WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW, SO WE WILL MAKE THIS PRESENTATION AVAILABLE TO YOU. AS SOON AS THIS IS DONE, BUT, UM AS WITH A LOT OF THINGS RELATED TO THE PROJECTS GOING ON, EVERYTHING'S CONSTANTLY IN MOTION, AND SO WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT. AND SO THAT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW. SO I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED. SORRY.

THE AGENDA FOR NOT USED TO THE PRESENTER VIEW THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER ALL THE PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE FUNDS. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT NUTRITION SERVICES, AND THAT'S FUN. 13 AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES FUNDING. WHICH IS 14 AND BEYOND AND TALK ABOUT THE MONEY. THAT'S THERE. WHAT WERE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE BOARD'S INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON DIRECTION. SO TO START OUT, JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT FUNDS. UM WHAT YOU'VE GOT ARE THE FUN NUMBERS AND THEN SOME DESCRIPTIONS THERE PROVIDED WE DID PROVIDE, UM AT SOME ACRONYMS, SO G F FOR GENERAL FUNDING THOSE YOU'LL SEE THOSE LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION. WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT WE HAVE A FUNCTION, LISTED THEIR OPERATING FUNDS AND REPORTING FUNDS. AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OPERATING FUND AND REPORTING FUND ARE THAT OPERATING FUNDS ARE EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ACTUALLY DO. BUSINESS THROUGH THOSE FUNDS WERE ARE POSTING EXPENDITURES REVENUES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. EVERY DAY. REALLY? UM WHERE A REPORTING FUND IS REALLY? WE USE THAT DURING THE DIFFERENT REPORTING CYCLES, AND WE REPORT THE ACTIVITY AS OF THAT TIME, SO IT'S A SNAPSHOT AND IS REQUIRED FOR OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS. SO WE DON'T IT'S NOT REALLY A FUN THAT WE USE ON A DAILY BASIS TO BE POSTING TRANSACTIONS IN AND OUT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE FOUND ONE WHICH IS OUR GENERAL FUND THAT IS CALLED THE CHIEF OPERATING FRONT OF A DISTRICT.

THAT'S WHERE MOST OF EVERYTHING HAPPENS. AND WE'LL SEE EXACTLY THAT IN A GRAPHICAL FORM HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. FUND EIGHT OR STUDENT ACTIVITY, OR A SP, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT. FEW MEETINGS AGO, AND THAT IS JUST REPORTING. WE POST THAT SO THAT IT'S IN OUR FINANCIALS. WE HAVE OUR SPECIAL IT PASSED THROUGH WHICH AGAIN REPORTING ARE PASSED THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS. WE HAVE CHILD DEVELOPMENT FUND, WHICH IS AN OPERATING FUND. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE COVERING THAT TONIGHT BECAUSE IT'S IT COVERS ARE PRESCHOOLS COVERS ARE ARE OUR STATE FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED FOR THAT. BUT WE CAN COVER THAT AT A DIFFERENT MEETING IF WE IF WE WOULD LIKE. UM AND THEN WE'VE GOT FUN. 12 I'M SORRY. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT FUN 13. OUR CAFETERIA SPECIAL REVENUE FUND OR WHAT WE CALL NUTRITION SERVICES FUND. THAT'S WHERE WE OPERATE. OUR ENTIRE NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM OUT OF GONE. FIND 14. WHERE DOES IT REFER TO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, SO WE USE THAT TO RECORD RESTRICTED REVENUES THAT ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE GENERAL FUND. FOR RELATED PROJECTS, MAINTENANCE. FUND 25, WHICH IS OUR CAPITAL FACILITIES FUND, WHICH REALLY CAPTURES TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF REVENUES. WE HAVE DEVELOPER FEES, WHICH IS A RESTRICTED

[00:05:05]

RIGHT, SO IT'S REIMBURSEMENTS AND THINGS THAT ARE THERE THE MONEY THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY A REIMBURSEMENT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM DISTRICT MATCHING FUNDS THAT WE PAID OVER 10 YEARS AGO.

SO THE MONEY THAT THERE IS FROM THAT? AND WE'RE PLANNING ON USING THOSE THIS YEAR. FUND OF 40 IS WHERE ITS CAPITAL OUTLAY FUND. THAT IS PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR OUR PAYMENT OF OUR DEBT, WHICH IS R. C O. P S THAT WE HAVE, AND THE REVENUE THAT COMES IN THERE IS FROM THE YORBA LINDA SETTLEMENT, WHICH PAYS FOR THE DEBT AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. AND HOW WE PROPOSE TO USE THAT. AH FUND 51 JUST REPORTING FUND THAT'S FOR ALL THE BONDS. SO WE WERE GRACED. YES, PLEASE. YES, PLEASE. WELL, SO. OKAY SO WELL, ACTUALLY, I'LL JUST SIT NOW, SO IT'S OPERATING BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DO RECORD THE REVENUE EVERY YEAR. WELL, WHENEVER WE RECEIVE IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND WE PAY OUT OUR COPPS THROUGH THERE, SO BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY TRANSACTING THROUGH THERE, IT WOULD BE OPERATING BUT ALSO FUN. 40 REALLY IS AN OPERATING ACCOUNT AND WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE MONEY THAT'S LEFT OVER AFTER MAKING THOSE PAYMENTS THAT CAN BE USED FOR ACTIVE ONGOING PROJECTS AND CAPTAIN FACILITIES.

AND THAT'S OUR PLAN. AND THE LEFTOVER MONEY ALSO COULD BE USED TO PAY FOR THAT QUICKER IS THAT CORRECT? THEORETICALLY, YES. YEAH, BUT THERE'S ONE, BUT THERE'S OTHER ONES THAT WE CAN THAT RIGHT. AH DEPENDS ON THE DEBT. RIGHT? SO YEAH, WE HAVE TO LOOK INTO WHETHER OR NOT THIS SPECIFIC DEBT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CAN BE PAID WITH THAT MONEY, OKAY? GOOD CONVERSATION.

UM SORRY. 151 AGAIN. THE BOND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TWO BONDS THAT OUR COMMUNITIES PAST WHICH WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR. THE MONEY HAS BEEN USED, BUT WE HAVE TO REPORT OUT. UM THE INCOME COMING IN FROM TAXES AND THE EXPENDITURE IS THERE UM AND THEN WE'VE GOT FUND 67, WHICH IS OUR SELF INSURANCE FUND. THAT'S FOR ALL OF OUR HEALTH AND BENEFITS COME THROUGH OUR WORKERS COMP.

BECAUSE OF THAT NATURE. SO UM, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE FUNDS, AND WE LOOK AT THE ENDING FUND BALANCE OF ALL OF THE FUNDS COLLECTED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. OF ALL THE FUNDS WE MAINTAINED. WE HAVE ABOUT $201 MILLION IN ANY FUND BALANCE. UM MOST OF THAT IS RESTRICTED. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IN THE IN THE RED BOX 135.6 MILLION DOLLARS IS RESTRICTED FUNDS OUT OF THAT 201. 66 IS UNRESTRICTED AND ALL OF THAT 66 MILLION IS IN FUND ONE TO OUR GENERAL FUND, ARCHIE PROPER GRADING FUND. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ILLUSTRATED IN THE GRAPH SO 70% OF THE MONEY.

THAT'S THAT'S THEIRS AND GENERAL FUND AND ALL OF OUR UNRESTRICTED MONEY IN GENERAL FUND. WE LOOK AT THE ACTIVITY FOR WHAT WE DO IN A GIVEN YEAR. THIS IS ALL AS OF UNAUDITED ACTUALS ON 630. SO WE'RE LOOKING BACKWARDS IN TIME. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS ACTIVITY. IF WE LOOK AT WHERE WE STARTED ALL THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. FOR ALL THOSE FUNDS LAST YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY IS IN FUND ONE, OUR GENERAL FUND, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S. IT'S A FOCUS.

AND THEN THE GRAPH ON THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU KIND OF WE'RE THAT OR THE TOTAL OF THAT. SO WE'RE TALKING 83% OF OUR EXPENDITURES COME OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND. SO DESPITE HAVING THE MONEY AND THE OTHER FUNDS, MOST OF THE BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT THIS DISTRICT OCCURS IN GENERAL FUND. SO THAT JUST HIGHLIGHTS THAT. UM SO THE FUNKY FOCUSES FOR THIS EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FUNDS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED THERE. AND OUR GOAL IS TO IS TO TALK ABOUT EACH FUN WHAT ITS PURPOSE IS SOME OF THE RESTRICTIONS FOR THE MONEY THAT THEY ARE THERE AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED, OR THAT ARE ON EITHER IN PROCESS OR THEIR PROPOSED OF HOW WE USE THE MONEY THAT SEX KERRY REAL QUICK PERSON THAT DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO THESE TYPES OF LEDGERS. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER FUNDS IN BETWEEN TWO AND 11. WHERE DO THE WORK OR IS THERE LIKE A CODE AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE USING? WE GO BY THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ACCOUNTING MANUAL TO SEE SAM AND THAT DEFINES EACH NUMBER AND WHAT YOU CAN USE THOSE FUNDS FOR AND SO THERE ARE FUNDS IN BETWEEN ALL OF THESE, BUT WE DON'T USE THEM,

[00:10:06]

OKAY, SO LET'S START WITH FUN. 13 OUR CAFETERIA SPECIAL REVENUE FUND. UM SO THIS IS WHERE OUR ENTIRE NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM IS OPERATED OUT OF. OUR STAFF IS PAID OUT OF THIS FUND.

UM UH, ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT IS PAID FOR THIS FUNNEL THE FOOD. EVERYTHING WE DO FOR NUTRITION SERVICES IS OUT OF FUN. 13. AND SO THE REVENUE THAT COMES IN IS FROM STATE AND FEDERAL MONEY THAT THAT WE RECEIVE AND OBVIOUSLY THE MONEY THAT GOES OUT AS STAFFING MAJORITY OF IT, BUT ALSO ALL OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES THAT WE PURCHASE. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAD ABOUT FIVE OR 10.6. THAT'S A 10.55 MILLION AND THE ENDING FUND BALANCE AS OF THE END OF THAT'S HER UNAUDITED ACTUALLY AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. UM WE WILL GO INTO SOME OF THE PROPOSED USES HERE IN A SECOND, BUT WE'RE PROPOSING MAJORITY OF THAT MONEY TO BE USED AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE WHEN WE GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE. IS A LARGE PORTION OF THAT. HAS TO DO WITH MAINTAINING AND OPERATING BALANCE FOR THAT FUND. AND, UM I CAN ATTEMPT TO TALK TO THAT. BUT I'M GOING TO ASK FOR SUZANNE TO TALK ABOUT THAT MEAN WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT SIX MONTHS OF OPERATING FUND BALANCE. IT'S NOT. I'M SORRY. WAIT, WAIT ONE SECOND. OH SORRY, IS A VERY LARGE BALANCE AND THAT IS WHAT IS IT COST US IN SIX MONTHS TO OPERATE OUR FUNDING, SO WE CURRENTLY RECEIVE REVENUE FROM OUR FEDERAL AND OUR STATE GOVERNMENT. UM AND SINCE UNIVERSAL MEALS, INCEPTION, UH MOST OF OUR FUNDING NOW COMES FROM THE STATE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL FUNDS. THE FEDERAL FUND IS WHAT THEY CALL AN ENTITLEMENT FUND, AND SO WE ARE PAID IN ENTITLEMENT DOLLARS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WHETHER THEY SHUT DOWN OR NOT. IT'S AN ENTITLEMENT FUND. WE GET OUR MONEY. WHEREAS THE STATE IS WHAT THEY CALL A CAPPED APPROPRIATION AND SO BASICALLY CAPPED APPROPRIATION FUND IS THE YEAR BEFORE THEY SAY, WE THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ABOUT THIS MUCH MONEY. AND SO WE'RE GONNA STICK IT IN THIS FUND, AND WHEN THAT'S GONE, IT'S GONE. SO AS DOWNTURNS AND ECONOMIC AND MORE PEOPLE MAY UTILIZE CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES . YOU MIGHT SEE THE NEED FOR THAT FUND TO EXPAND. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST WHERE THE STATE SAYS SORRY YOU'RE CAPPED. APPROPRIATION IS DRY. WE'RE NOT SENDING YOU ANY MONEY WILL PAY YOU TUESDAY FOR A HAMBURGER TODAY KIND OF A THOUGHT PROCESS. UM AND SO WE GET THE MONEY, BUT IT IS 357 MONTHS OUT BEFORE WE SEE THAT MONEY WELL, WITH OUR OPERATING FUNDS BEING LARGELY NOW OUT OF THE STATE CAPITAL APPROPRIATION, WE WANT TO KEEP AS MUCH OF THAT FUNDING AVAILABLE SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE WHETHER THAT FUND BECOMES DRY OR NOT. SO THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WE WANT TO MAINTAIN SIX MONTHS IS THE CAP. WE CAN'T GO OVER A SIX MONTH OPERATING COSTS TO HOLD ON TO THAT, BUT WITH UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC TIMES, MOVING FORWARD, WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK, SO WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THAT ON FILE. THAT'S WHY THANK YOU, SUZANNE. UM SO AS YOU MENTIONED IT, QUESTION ONE QUESTION ON THAT. THEORETICALLY, THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. WE HAVE AN ISSUE, AND THEY THEY KEPT THE FUND AND WE'VE GOT WE DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY. WE DON'T HAVE THE SIX MONTH OPERATING FUNDS WE CAN USE THAT FROM PART GENERAL FUND ACCOUNT AS WELL, CORRECT. TECHNICALLY YES. THIS IS ALL THEORETICAL, NOT SUGGESTING IT JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BUDGET POLICIES INDICATE THAT WHERE WE NEED TO MAINTAIN A NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM THAT MAINTAINS THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF. AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO HAVE A

[00:15:07]

OKAY BECAUSE NOW I'M CONFUSED. UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UM THAT WE HAVE 10,000,500. PLUS DOLLARS IN OUR BUDGET, RIGHT? THAT'S IN THE IN THE BALANCE. THAT WAS BALANCE. YES, RIGHT. AND SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO PAY FOR OUR STAFF NOW, BUT IT'S NOT REPRESENTED IN THIS THESE DOLLARS IS THAT CORRECT? ONLY REPRESENTATIVES ADDITIONS CORRECT. RIGHT ROLL OVER FROM LAST YEAR, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE REVENUES THAT COME IN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND THOSE ARE THOSE WILL BE IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU'LL SEE. IN THE FIRST INTERIM, YOU'LL SEE THE REVENUES THAT WE ANTICIPATE IN THE EXPENDITURES FOR THAT THIS IS OUTSIDE OF THAT. OKAY JUST MAKING SURE YES. THANKS. HAPPIER AND SURE YOU MIGHT AS WELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL SO, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE STAFFING, SO WE'VE HAD WE HAVE A RECORD LOW NUMBER OF NUTRITION SERVICES WORKERS AND ANYBODY WATCHING. IF YOU WANT A JOB, PLEASE COME WORK WITH PLACENTA OR BERLIN. AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU UM BUT WE HAVE ADDED MORE STAFF MEMBERS THAN WHAT WE HAD IN JULY. SO WE'VE REFLECTED THAT AND ARE ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THE ONGOING NEW STAFF MEMBERS. BUT WE'VE ALSO BEEN ADDING BREAKFAST. WE'VE HAD TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HOURS OF PEOPLE WORK AND STAFF MEMBERS SO THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT ONGOING REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE AS WELL. SO THAT'S FACTORED IN THERE. WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING A NEW BUYER, UH, SPECIALIST WHICH IS GOING TO HELP US OUT A LOT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COMMODITIES FOOD AND ARE PURCHASING AND MAINTAINING ALL OF OUR PRICING AND INVOICES. SO WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. UM I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE ARE IN THAT PROCESS, BUT POSITION HAS BEEN APPROVED, AND WE OR WILL BE WEARING IT TO THE BOARD WITH PRESIDENT INFORMATION THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO HEAR, BECAUSE THINKING BACK TO WHERE WE JUST WOULD PROVIDE LUNCH FOR, YOU KNOW, WHICHEVER KIDS NEEDED IT OR OR GOT IT NOW? LUNCH AND BREAKFAST? I MEAN, THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IS JUST SO MUCH GREATER THAN IT EVER USED TO BE. I MEAN, IT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE

[00:20:03]

WE HAVE COMPUTER EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE REPLACING. THAT'S IN PROCESS NOW, UM WE ARE WORKING ON A POINT OF SALE RFP TO UPDATE OUR SYSTEM. TO BE A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE OR EFFICIENT. THEN WHAT WE'VE GOT NOW CURRENT SYSTEM IS BEING PHASED OUT SO IT WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE.

CURRENTLY WE'RE UTILIZING MEALS PLUS SO. AND THEN WE'VE GOT THINGS LIKE TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND YOU CAN READ THESE, BUT WE HAVE CHAOS THAT WE WANT TO ADD FOR ADDITIONAL SERVING AT DIFFERENT SITES SO THAT YOU'VE GOT THREE LISTED THERE AS PRAWNS OF VALENCIA AND ELDORADO. THAT'LL HELP US GET MORE MEALS OUT TO KIDS. ARE THESE ADDITIONAL KIOSKS? CORRECT BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW LIKE A VALENCIA. THEY HAVE WHAT? TO VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAVE TO PERMANENT KIOSK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LIBRARY ENTRANCE. WE ADDITIONALLY HAVE A BLUE ROLL UP DOOR KIOSK, WHICH IS ANOTHER POINT OF SALE. THESE TWO WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE THREE THAT ARE ALREADY ALREADY THEY'RE PERFECT. AND AGAIN IF YOU KNOW ANY STAFF FEEL FREE, I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST A GIANT ADVERTISEMENT WOULD LIKE TO BE A BUS DRIVER, SPECIAL ED FOOD SERVICES, NUTRITION SERVICES. WE GOT IT ALL TO HAVE THOSE CARDS TO SAY JOINED OUR TEAM HAVE HANDED OUT MULTIPLE OF THOSE. SO YES, IT'S LIKE I'M JUST ALWAYS ADVERTISING . ABSOLUTELY. PLEASE CONTINUE.

UM WE ALSO IT FOR OUR NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUY VEHICLES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE OR REFRIGERATOR TRUCKS. I THINK WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THREE YEARS. THREE YEARS NOW AND A HALF YEARS. ACTUALLY IT WAS A BOARD APPROVED. ACTUALLY SO TWO YEARS IT WAS BOARD APPROVED IN NOVEMBER OF 21. SO FOR A NEW NUTRITION SERVICES TRUCK, WHICH WE THOUGHT WE HAD, AND THEN WE JUST CAN'T GET VEHICLES AND NOW I'VE HAD ANOTHER ONE. I'VE HAD JUST A SECOND VEHICLE THAT WE WERE TRYING TO WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO REPLACE TO HAVE THAT ONE SORT OF ON THE BACK SEAT AND THAT ONE HAS NOW. DIED SO I NEED TO. YEAH SO, UH, THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED WITH REGARD TO VEHICLES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. UM TRANSPORT VAN AS WELL. A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH GETTING FOOD WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. SO THE GOLF CART FOR ESPERANZA ALSO HAS TO DO WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE FOOD MOVES ACROSS THAT ACROSS THE STREET. AND, UM THERE'S THAT'S THE VEHICLES AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SITE EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE. WE WANT TO. WE HAVE REPLACEMENTS, DISHWASHERS, WE HAVE INSTALLING NEW DISHWASHERS.

UM COMBO OVENS THAT ALLOW US TO SERVE MORE. UM AND TILT SKILLET, WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS. THOSE ITEMS ACTUALLY WILL ENHANCE OUR SCRATCH AND HOMEMADE ITEMS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ENHANCE AT THE SCHOOL SITES, SO IT TILT SKILLET ACTUALLY IS LIKE A VERY LARGE FRY PAN. I WOULD SAY THAT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO BUT IT IS PROBABLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THIS HERE WHERE WE CAN THEN TAKE LIKE VEGETABLES AND SAUTE VEGETABLES OR MEAT ON VERY LARGE SCALE. SO THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO TASTE, YOU KNOW? HERB ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS OR WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO MAKE THAT RIGHT NOW. OUR COMBI OVENS ARE WHAT THEY ARE CALLED A COMBINATION BETWEEN A DRY COOK AND A STEAM COOK. SO THESE ALL OF THIS EQUIPMENT WILL ENHANCE OUR SCRATCH COOKING. WE DO NOT HAVE AN OPEN FLAME ANYWHERE IN THE DISTRICT. SO TO BE ABLE TO SAUTE ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IS THAT ON PURPOSE? THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER FLAME. NO IT WAS BY DESIGN. YOU KNOW, FOOD SERVICES HAS CHANGED OVER TIME, SO OKAY. MICROWAVE QUESTION. JUST CURIOUS , UH, $46,000 GOLF CART. CAN I DRIVE IT? I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WHEN I HEARD THAT. SO UM THE REALITY IS, IS THE $46,000 THE GOLF CART ITSELF. IT INCLUDES THE CHARGING STATION FOR THAT GOLF CART AND SETTING UP A SECURE LOCATION FOR IT, BUT I THOUGHT GOLF CART 56 $7000.25 TO $30,000. WE NEED TO HAVE THE BACK FLAT BACK ON IT, SO IT'S NOT LIKE A LITTLE FOUR PERSON GOLF CART. WE CAN BUY A USED ONE LIKE A UTILITY. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND CLOSE IT SO THAT THE FOOD IS SECURE, AND WE'RE RUNNING FOOD FROM ESPERANZA ESPERANZA WEST.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH LARGE CARTS AND I'VE SEEN HIM STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT AS THEY CRASHED AND SO NOT AS SAFE ENCLOSED TRAILERS OR ANYTHING TO MAKE THAT BETTER OR JUST

[00:25:05]

I JUST SOUNDED LIKE A FUN GOLF CARTS DRIVE RIGHT ABOUT THE SAME THING. I WAS SHOCKED AND VEHICLES THE SAME THING. YOU KNOW, WE BOARD APPROVED VEHICLES FOR 120,000. NOW THEY'RE COMING AT 100 AND 65. I'M SORRY. I'M JUST DOING A TIME CHECK. WAIT NO, NO, NO, IT'S GREAT CONVERSATION, 25 MINUTES AND WE HAVE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW MORE FUNDS TO GET. SO I'M JUST GONNA START PLOWING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT. JUST KIDDING. SO UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT I WANTED TO CALL OUT ON THIS IS MAJOR KITCHEN, UH, EQUIPMENT FOR VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT PROJECT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. BUT I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT THAT THAT THE NUTRITION SERVICES FUN. WE CAN USE THAT TO OUTFIT A KITCHEN. WE JUST GET BUILD A KITCHEN. WE CAN'T BUILD ANY STRUCTURES WHERE WE CAN FILL IT WITH ALL THE GOOD STUFF THAT WE NEED. EXCEPT THE PLUMBING. TALK ABOUT THAT LATER ANYWAY. MOVING ON, SO WE ALSO WE WANT TO DO THINGS. UH ESSENTIALLY. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING A PACKING LINE AND CREATING A IT'S MORE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, BUT TO CREATE A MORE CENTRALIZED INFRASTRUCTURE IS THAT WE CAN DO A LOT OF ANY THINGS THAT SUZANNE IS TALKING ABOUT. UM AND SO HERE, YOU CUT THEM WRAPPING MACHINES.

DEPOSITORS WHICH SHE INFORMED ME ABOUT WHAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. BUT WE ALSO BLESS YOU AND IN FRONT 13, BUT NUTRITION. WE ALSO HAVE KIT FUNDS, WHICH ARE KITCHEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAINING FUNDS, WHICH ACTUALLY WERE SITTING IN FUN ONE AS A RESERVED , SORRY, RESTRICTED FUND, BUT WE'RE ALSO USING THESE AS WELL. BUT I WANT YOU WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE THEM SO WE'VE GOT SERVING KIOSK TOUGH FREE. AND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE, UM BUT THE WHAT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A YARD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER PROJECT PACKING STRUCTURE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE A LARGER FREEZER SPACE UP AT THE WE CALL THE PDA OR A, BUT THAT CENTER WHERE NUTRITION SERVICES CENTER IS AND BE ABLE TO STORE THE GOODS THERE AND DO PACKING THEIR AND THINGS TO HELP GET THOSE FRESH FOODS THAT ARE SITES MORE READILY, SO YOU SAID IT WAS KITCHEN INFRASTRUCTURE, WHAT TRAINING AND TRAINING. AND THAT'S ONE TIME FUNDS THAT WILL. OKAY SO WITH THAT, SO WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT FUN 13 BEFORE I MOVE ON. I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER THINGS WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT. IT CIRCLED BACK, OBVIOUSLY, IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THE REST OF THE FUNDS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS SUCH A NEEDED SERVICE. I'M THRILLED THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND AND WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND WE'RE PREPPING FOR THE WHAT ULTIMATELY MIGHT COME WITH MORE TIME TO EAT. SO HAVING THOSE KIOSKS OUT THERE WILL GET STUDENTS THROUGH THE LINES FASTER SO THAT THEY DO HAVE MORE TIME TO EAT INSTEAD OF WAITING IN LINE, SO THANK YOU.

MORE MEALS. TWO MORE KIDS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT. SO UM, I'M GONNA MOVE ON TO OUR FACILITIES PART SO THIS THE REST OF THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT FACILITIES PROJECTS. UM WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS THAT IN OUR FACILITIES AREA, UM WE USE A LOT OF BRAIDED FUNDING. SO YOU WILL SEE A PROJECT THAT'S CUT ACROSS MULTIPLE THESE FUNDS BECAUSE THEY CAN BE USED IN THAT MANNER, AND WE'RE USING THE FUNDS WERE THERE. WHERE THEY'D BE BEST SUITED TO ADDRESS THAT NEEDED THAT. WHATEVER THAT THAT PROJECT IS AND SO I'M GIVING YOU THE HEADS UP ON FRONT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THEM ACROSS A COUPLE OF THESE COUPLE OF NEXT SLIDES. UM WE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FACILITIES, FUNDING, UM AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WE'VE HAD BOND FUNDS. THEY WERE FANTASTIC.

WE'VE USED THEM ALL. UM WE HAVE LIMITED FUNDS COMING TO THE DISTRICT FOR FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE. SO WE HAVE EVERY YEAR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. WE SET ASIDE A MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF L C. F F THAT'S THAT IS, YOU'LL SEE THAT EVERY YEAR WHEN WE TAKE THE ADOPTED BUDGET, UM SOMETIMES WE WILL DO AN ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT ANY ANY TIME WE DO THAT WE'LL BRING THAT BACK TO THE FORWARD IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE MORE MONEY INTO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT'S BASED ON NEED, RIGHT NEEDED AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES. THEN WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE. UM, BUT THE GOAL THAT WE HAVE IN MIND ACROSS YOU KNOW, USING ALL THESE FUNDS TO MAKE SURE WE CAN MAKE THEM STRETCH THEM OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND USE THEM FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ALL 37 OF OUR BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS, AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY STAY THAT WAY. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE AND PLAN FOR THE UNEXPECTED. IT'S GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW. I THINK RAIN CAN BRING FLOODS THAT CAN BRING YOU KNOW CLASSROOMS THAT HAVE LEAKS. WE ALSO HAVE WINDS HERE,

[00:30:03]

ANY TRANSFER OF MONEY FROM THE GENERAL FUND WILL COME TO THE BOARD, FIRST FOR BOARD APPROVAL.

UM, AS A TRANSFER. AND SO THE BOARD WILL HAVE COMPLETE AUTHORITY. ON WHAT FUNDS TO TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO FACILITY FUND OR OR WHATNOT. UM SO WE DID FIND IN THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT THAT HASN'T ALWAYS HAPPENED. THERE WAS TRANSFERS THAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE DIRECTION OF THE BUSINESS DIRECTOR FROM ONE FUND TO ANOTHER. AND SO THAT CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. IT WILL BE A TRANSPARENT PROCESS WILL COME TO THE BOARD AS A RECOMMENDATION.

THE BOARD CAN PROVE IT, NOT APPROVE IT. SUGGEST A DIFFERENT AMOUNT, BUT ALL TRANSFERS WILL BE DONE. IN THE APPROPRIATE WAY. IN THAT SCENARIO, WHEN IT'S GONE FROM AN UNRESTRICTED FUND TO RESTRICTED FUND THAN THOSE FUNDS BECOME RESTRICTED, CORRECT, CORRECT. YES. SO WE MENTIONED THAT A MILLION DOLLARS HAS THAT IS DEFERRED EVERY YEAR. WELL THAT MILLION DOLLARS COME EVERY YEAR, OR WILL THAT BE THE BASELINE AND ANYTHING OVER A MILLION EVERY YEAR, SO THAT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE. THE BOARD MAY SAY. WE WANT TO PUT 3 MILLION IN DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THIS YEAR INSTEAD OF ONE, SO IT WON'T JUST BE A BECAUSE WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN DOING IT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A MILLION OUT AND PUT IT IN DIVERT MAINTENANCE. IT'LL, THE BOARD WILL BE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT AND WELL, I'M SURE WE'LL PROBABLY SET IT AT 1 MILLION. UM, BUT THE BOARD CAN DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WANT TO PUT MORE OR LESS ASIDE. I'M SURE A MILLION THERE'S YOU KNOW, REASONS WHY THAT NUMBER WAS SELECTED BASED ON PROJECTIONS AND THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. CORRECT HONESTLY, I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE THAT'S THAT'S BEEN A PAST PRACTICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MILLION MOVED OVER, BUT YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE MOVED, MOREOVER, AND MOVED ANOTHER, I THINK 2.5 MILLION OVER DUE TO THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE AT THE DIFFERENT SITES. AND SO IN WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS WE WILL BE SHOWING THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PROCESS OR THAT WERE THEY WERE WORKING ON OR THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED ALREADY, BUT THEN AS YOU SAW IN THE SPREADSHEET HAVEN'T UPDATED SPREADSHEET FROM OUR FROM OUR FROM OUR STAFF MEMBERS, UM THAT YOU'LL SEE. THERE'S A LOT MORE NEED THAN THERE IS MONEY WITH REGARD TO FACILITIES AND SO MILLION DOLLARS IS VERY LITTLE. SO YOU GOT BRAD ALL EXCITED WHEN YOU SAID 3 MILLION. IT WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. BUT, UM, BUT IT'S AH, IT'S YOU'LL SEE. SO UM, LET ME JUST JUMP RIGHT IN SO FUN 14 OR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE WE LEFT THE YEAR AT CLOSED THE YEAR AT $4.2 MILLION AND FUND BALANCE. WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES IS ABOUT $2 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS, BUT YOU'LL SEE A LOT MORE NEED IN THAT SPREADSHEET AS WELL THAT THAT EATS UP THE REST OF THAT. SO, UM WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PROJECTS CURRENTLY PROCESS WE HAVE A VARIETY OF ASPHALT PROJECTS GOING ON THE C A LOT OF ROOFING AND A LOT OF FLOORING.

UM ROOFING IS A IS A HUGE NEED AT THE DISTRICT. ACROSS ALL OF OUR SITES. THERE'S AT LEAST ONE ROOFING PROJECT. PROBABLY EVERY SINGLE SITE. UM AT LEAST THE ONES I VISITED, RIGHT. SO, UM IT'S AND IT'S VERY COSTLY AND SO YOU'LL SEE THAT COME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN. UM WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF ATHLETIC REPAIRS OR THIS COULDN CLUED ANYTHING GOING ON IN THE FIELD. IT COULD BE SCOREBOARDS. IT COULD BE ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS. I KIND OF LUMPED IT ALL INTO ONE. FOR NOW, WE CAN GET INTO DETAIL. LATER, BUT SO YOU SEE WHAT'S WHAT'S IN PROCESS AND WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED. UM I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THESE PROJECTS WHEN WE VISIT. I'LL SAY WE BUT. OUR GRACIOUS UH, AUTHORITIES ARE MEETING STEP, GO OUT AND VISIT EVERY SINGLE SITE EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND MEET WITH THE STAFF MEMBERS AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY NEED, AND WE LOOK FOR SAFETY ISSUES. AND SO OBVIOUSLY SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITIZE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS WE ADDRESS THOSE FIRST, BUT ALSO WE TRY TO ADDRESS SOMETHING AT EVERY SITE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING THOSE SITES UPDATED. PER THE ADMINISTRATORS REQUESTED EACH SITE. SO, UM, THAT. CONTRIBUTE TO THAT HUGE LIST OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE. BUT AGAIN. WANT TO WANT TO TALK IT THROUGH AND THEN WANT YOUR INPUT ON WHAT ELSE? WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE AS WELL.

SO THAT'S FUN. 14 I'M JUST GONNA COME ZIPPING THROUGH BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE LEAVE SOME TIME FOR QUESTIONS. BUT PLEASE KEEP JUMPING IN IF NEEDED. 25. SO THIS WE HAD ABOUT $11.7 MILLION IN THE FUND. YOU'LL SEE THAT 4.2 OF THAT IS DEVELOPER FEES. DEVELOPER FEES ARE A RESTRICTED FEED THAT COMES IN. WE WON'T WE RECEIVED THAT WHEN, UM SOMEBODY'S BUILDING AND THEY GO PULL A PERMIT AT THE CITY. THEY PAY A FEE THAT FEED GETS SENT TO US. UM THOSE FEES CAN

[00:35:07]

UM BUT WE'VE WORKED WITH ATTORNEYS TO FIGURE OUT OKAY. WHAT CAN WE USE THIS FOR? AND WHAT TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. UM REDEVELOPMENT MONEY COMES FROM WHAT ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THAT. THE DEVELOPER FEES IT'S RESTRICTED. TO SUPPORTING THE STUDENTS. IN THEORY, THE INFLUX FROM THE CONSTRUCTION IN THAT AREA, SO IF IT'S UH, NEW CONSTRUCTION NEAR THE URBAN HIGH SCHOOL, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL WOULD BE THE SITE. YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL WE HAVE IS THAT WE WERE IN OPEN DISTRICT, RIGHT? SO IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE PEOPLE THAT THE KIDS WILL GO TO YOUR BILL AND THEY COULD GO TO VALENCIA. THEY COULD GO ANYWHERE THEY WANT RIGHT IN THIS DISTRICT. AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT KIND OF PUTS US IN A IN A DID THEY GIVE US FREEDOM? OR DOES THAT GIVE US WE HAVE FREEDOM TO SPEND IT WHEREVER WE WANT IN THE DISTRICT? AS LONG AS WE FOLLOW THE DEVELOPER FEE PROVISIONS, AS YOU SAID RIGHT THAT IT'S SUPPORTING GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. WELL, THAT'S BETTER THAN I THOUGHT BECAUSE I WAS IN THE CAPACITY TO SERVE THOSE STUDENTS, WHICH IS WHAT GOOD DR. UM REDEVELOPMENT. MONEY COMES IN . WE GET ABOUT $3.5 MILLION A YEAR THAT MONEY IT'S FROM THE DISSOLUTION OF ALL OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES AROUND THE COUNTY WERE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE RECEIVING THAT MONEY.

AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. PLUS IT'S ABOUT 3.5 MILLION. IT GOES UP EVERY YEAR A LITTLE BIT.

SO WHAT ABOUT 10 YEARS? IT WILL BE 4.7. BUT THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY CONSTANT STREAM OF FACILITIES MONEY. REALLY LIKE A SIZABLE CHUNK OF MONEY THAT COMES IN THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE RECEIVE. RIGHT THE REST IS EITHER WE'RE PUTTING MONEY AWAY FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR DEVELOPER FEES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT COME. SO, UM WITH THAT I'M GOING TO JUMP RIGHT IN. SO WE'VE GOT PROJECTS ALREADY UNDERWAY. SO UM, ONE THING YOU NOTICE IS OBVIOUSLY A TEACHER IS NOT A FACILITIES PROJECT, BUT WHEN WE HAVE EXPANSION, RIGHT, WE CAN JOURNAL COSTS. TO COVER THAT INITIAL THIS FRIENDSHIP, SO THAT'S WHERE THAT'S COMING IN FROM UM, WE HAVE DUAL IMMERSION, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE? UM WE OBVIOUSLY SPENT A LOT OF THIS MONEY ON SOME OF THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS AND SOME OF THE EXPANDED THINGS WE HAVE THERE. UM WE HAVE A PLAN PROJECT GEORGE KEY, UH, WHICH VERY MUCH IS IN NEED OF FLOORING. AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS, IS THAT RETAIN CAPACITY TO SERVE STUDENTS. PROJECT THAT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER. UM EVERYONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT HAS A HAS A KITCHEN THAT'S ABLE TO SERVE THE STUDENT. THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE AT THAT'S COOL EXCEPT VALENCIA. AS THE OLDEST SCHOOL IT THE KITCHEN AND YOU'VE ALL BEEN THERE, SO YOU KNOW HOW SMALL IT IS. IT'S NOT BUILT TO SERVE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE THERE. AND, UM ACTUALLY , IT'S ONLY GOT ONE OVEN. SO IT A SITE THAT BIG IT ONLY HAS ONE OVEN, SO THEY'RE DOING MIRACLES.

VALENCIA TO SERVE ALL THOSE KIDS AND I FORGOT WHAT THE NUMBER WAS. WE HAD A WE HAD A RECORD NUMBER. UM YEAH. RIGHT SO WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON THERE. UM. AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO HOPEFULLY REVITALIZE, REBUILD THE KITCHEN AND CHANGE THE LIFE SPACE SO THAT IT CAN ACCOMMODATE THE CHILDREN AT THE STUDENTS AT VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. AND IT'S CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPER PIZZAS ARE RESTRICTED. IT WOULD BE A VERIFIED THAT WOULD BE A GOOD USE OF FUNDS TO RETAIN THE CAPACITY TO SERVE THE STUDENTS THAT ATTEND VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. WE'RE HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY GETTING BORED SUPPORT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. NO.

WELL THAT THAT I CAN SAY ALL I WANT, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION, SO IT'S SO

[00:40:03]

SO THAT WAS ALL DEVELOPER FEES. NOW WE TALK ABOUT REDEVELOPMENT MONEY AGAIN. IT'S MORE FLEXIBLE.

WE GET THIS FROM FROM THE R D A DISSOLUTION. YOU'LL SEE THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS AGAIN. LIKE I MENTIONED YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF ASPHALT A LOT. A LOT OF ROOFING, A LOT OF FLOORING. UM AND THEN WE HAVE A BIG PROJECT OF REMODELING RESTROOMS THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO ROTATE AROUND THE DISTRICT AND REMODELED RESTAURANTS. SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THAT. SO OBVIOUSLY IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE THEATER IMPROVEMENTS WITH ESPERANZA WOW. RIGHT. SO CHECK THEM OUT. THEY'RE PRETTY NEAT. UM, LET'S SEE GOING ON. SO WE HAVE OTHER APPROVED ONES IN THE IT WORKS AND SO YOU'LL SEE A ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION WHICH IS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN I WANTED TO DIE, BUT IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE BUT A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER YEAR. 2526 VALENCIA PROJECT BASICALLY THE REDEVELOPMENT. I'M SORRY, NOT REDEVELOPMENT. THE DEVELOPER WOULD START THE PROJECT AND REALLY CARRY US FORWARD. AND THEN 30 YEAR OUT. WE GO INTO THE D A MONEY TOO. TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, SO THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL. YOU'LL ALSO SEE MORE PRESCHOOLS, SHADE STRUCTURES AND PRESCHOOL. UH PORTABLES THAT ARE BEING PUT IN. SO THAT'S PART OF OUR INITIATIVE THERE. AND IT KEEPS GOING ON FROM THERE. AND KEEP SO MOVING ON TO FUND 35 REAL QUICK. SO THIS IS AGAIN THAT THAT FUND THAT REALLY, UM EXISTED. WE REALLY DON'T USE IT FOR ANYTHING, AND I THINK IT'S TIME TO CLOSE IT OUT. SO WHAT WE HAVE IS THE EXACT AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S IN THERE. WE HAVE PLANS FOR HOW TO HOW TO SPEND THAT DOWN, AND THEN WE WOULD TAKE A RESOLUTION TO THE BOARD TO CLOSE OUT THIS THIS FUN

[00:45:05]

[00:50:01]

[14. PUBLIC COMMENT ]

UM FORGIVE ME FOR SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN TONIGHT. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT I COULD SAY LAST MONTH AND 90 SECONDS WHEN I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT HOW ALL OF OUR FRESHMEN AND SENIORS WILL SUFFER FROM CONSIDERABLE AND UNDENIABLE LEARNING LOSS. IF THIS UNBALANCED SEMESTER CALENDAR IS IMPLEMENTED. TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT HOW THIS PROPOSED UNBALANCED SEMESTER CALENDAR WILL IMPACT ALL OF OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT 12,000 STUDENTS. COULD YOU PLEASE THINK BACK? TO WHEN YOU STARTED A NEW POSITION OR A NEW JOB. LIKE THIS ONE, PERHAPS. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE TO FEEL CONFIDENT? TO REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU WERE EXCELLING. IT TOOK A WHILE, RIGHT? IT TOOK A WHILE. BECAUSE YOU'RE HUMAN. YOU'RE HUMAN BEINGS. AND WE NEED TIME TO ADJUST TO ACCLIMATE TO LEARN AND GROW TO THE NEW SURROUNDINGS AND THE NEW CHALLENGES. WHENEVER A NEW SCHOOL YEAR STARTS. OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS ARE STARTING SIX NEW JOBS. OUR MIDDLE SCORES ARE STARTING SEVEN NEW JOBS. THEY HAVE NEW TEACHERS, CLASSMATES ROUTINES SUBJECTS TO LEARN. AND THE LIST GOES ON. THIS IS WHY THE TYPICAL FIRST SEMESTER TRAJECTORY FOR OUR STUDENTS HAS BEEN STRUGGLE AND SEPTEMBER OCTOBER. ADJUST IN NOVEMBER, GET COMFORTABLE AND TAKE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY. I HAVE SEEN THIS STUDENT DIRECTORY FOR 20 YEARS IN MY CAREER. ASK ANY TEACHER AND THEY WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HOW MANY STUDENTS PULL OFF THE HIGHER GRADE AND THAT LAST MONTH OF JANUARY I KNOW THAT TO PUBLIC OFFICIALS, PUBLIC OPINION IS IMPORTANT. I AM NOT HERE TO BEG YOU TO START THE SCHOOL CALENDAR EARLIER. I KNOW THAT'S A NONSTARTER BECAUSE FAMILIES HAVE ALREADY PLANNED OUT THEIR VACATIONS. BUT AT THIS POINT WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCORES IS RETURNED TO THE BALANCE SEMESTER SCHEDULE THAT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS THIS YEAR. AND EVERY YEAR IN MY CAREER, MY 20 YEARS IN THIS DISTRICT SAME START DATE. AND THE FIRST SEMESTER IN JANUARY. NOTHING NEW WHO WOULD COMPLAIN? ABOUT US RETURNING TO THE SCHEDULE THAT WE'VE ALWAYS USED IT WON'T IMPACT THEIR VACATIONS. IT WON'T IMPACT THEIR PLANS AT ALL. COMPARE THAT TO THE BLOWBACK

[01:15:03]

WHAT ARE THE COVER TOPICS OF THE FASTER PACED ALGEBRA TWO TRIG CLASS OR THE COLLEGE PREP ALGEBRA TWO CLASS. OKAY, THE CLASS THAT YOU ALL SAID TO ME WAS APPROVED BY YOUR DISTRICT THAT HE COULD TAKE OVER THE SUMMER COVERED ALL OF THESE TOPICS. SO THEN HE STARTS CALCULUS HONORS. AND THEN HE HEARS FROM THAT TEACHER. OH ANY OF YOU WHO TOOK A MATH CLASS OVER THE SUMMER? YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO STRUGGLE. MY KIDS TELL YOU ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST ANOTHER BIAS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING ABOUT HIM BEING HOME SCHOOLED IN THE PAST. UM SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CLASS THAT YOU ALL APPROVED ACTUALLY DOESN'T COVER ALL OF THE TOPICS. SO HERE I AM THINKING, OKAY. I'M DEALING WITH ANOTHER GROUP OF TIME WASTERS AND PEOPLE WHO WERE INCOMPETENT AND DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN JOB. SO HE SWITCHES FROM HONORS TO THE COW, THE COLLEGE PREP CLASS AND HE IS DOING BETTER. BUT NOW THE TEACHER WON'T GIVE HIM THE GRADE BUMP THAT HE EARNED FOR HAVING BEEN IN A PRE CALCULUS HONORS CLASS, WHICH OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE HIGH SCHOOL DO GIVE THE GRADE BUMP FOR KIDS WHO TRANSFER FROM AN HONORS OR AP CLASS TO A COLLEGE PREP CLASS. SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCY AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. AND SINCE IT'S ON THE AGENDA, I SUGGEST THAT YOU GET RID OF THE HEALTH AND CAREERS CLASSES A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. YOU ALREADY EXEMPT MANY STUDENTS FROM THAT REQUIREMENT. I DON'T THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD USE OF TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING. THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, PARENTS HAVE BEEN PROVEN CORRECT ABOUT EVERY IMPORTANT ISSUE WE HAVE BROUGHT UP AGAINST HAVE BEEN HAVE FOUGHT UP AGAINST. THESE INCLUDE MASKING VACCINE MANDATES, CRT AND PORNOGRAPHY IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE HAVEN'T EVEN PRESENTED THE BOARD WITH PROOF THAT TEACHERS, LIBRARIANS AND PRINCIPLES WERE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGE ENCOURAGING SEXUALIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN.

AND ALL OF THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS. WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF THAT PRINCIPLE, JOEY DAVIS ALLOWS BOYS TO USE GIRLS' BATHROOMS, DRAG QUEEN SHOWS AT HOMECOMING, AND HE IS CURRENTLY ALLOWING A CULTURE OF DEBAUCHERY AT EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL. NONE OF THESE THINGS THAT WE BRING TO YOU THAT WE MAKE THEM UP. NOR WERE THEY CONSPIRACY THEORIES. RECENTLY WE WERE TOLD THAT NO TEACHER STAFF MEMBERS KEEPING CRITICAL INFORMATION REGARDING A CHILD FROM PARENTS. ALLOW ME TO READ A HANDWRITTEN NOTE. FROM A LETTER A PARENT FOUND IN THE CHILD'S BEDROOM. THIS LETTER WAS GIVEN TO THE CHILD BY CRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL PE TEACHER BY THE NAME OF CARLA JONES. THE LETTER SAYS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH ME. I AM A TRUSTWORTHY ADULT. I WOULD NEVER

[01:20:04]

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNOW THE PARENT WAS NOT THE PARENT OF THIS CHILD WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT THIS STUDENT HAD SUICIDAL IDEATIONS. MRS CARLO JONES KEPT THIS A SECRET AND PRESUMABLY, SO DID THE DIRECTOR RICKY CASTRO. MR CHARNESS, MRS BLADES, MR YOUNG BLOOD AND MR FRASER, WE ALL WE ALL APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK YOU'RE DOING TO FIX THE PASSPORT MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENTS THAT HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE TO DESTROY OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE HERE AT P Y EL USD BUT WE BEG YOU TO PLEASE ADDRESS THE CANCEROUS CULTURE OF HIDING MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES FROM PARENTS AND THE SEXUALIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN. IT MUST BE ERADICATED IN ALL ITS FORMS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. ALL, UM. DURING THE OCTOBER 10TH DISCUSSION OF THE PARENT NOTIFICATION POLICY, ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ASKED THIS QUESTION. IF A STUDENT CHANGES PRONOUNS. IS THAT A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER? I BELIEVE IT IS AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL TRANSITIONING ON VULNERABLE CHILDREN I THINK YOU WILL AGREE. FIRST CHANGING PRONOUNS OR NAMES IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT ACT. MOTIVES MAY VARY, BUT A CHILD OR TEEN IS BASICALLY DECLARING THE FOLLOWING I REJECT THE BODY THAT I INHABIT, AND I AM TAKING ON A COMPLETELY NEW IDENTITY. I DON'T WANT MY PARENTS TO KNOW BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT UNQUESTIONABLY AFFIRM MY DECISION. THIS IS NOT AN INCONSEQUENTIAL DECLARATION. IN FACT, IT MAY BE THE BEGINNING AND OFTEN IS THE BEGINNING. OF A LIFE ALTERING AND IRREVERSIBLE JOURNEY. THE TEACHER IN THE LETTER THAT ANDY JUST READ. GAVE UNCONDITIONAL AFFIRMATION TO THE CHILD AS SHE ENCOURAGED THAT CHILD TO JOIN QUOTE QUITE A FEW STUDENTS AT KRAMER THAT ARE ON THAT SAME JOURNEY. THIS OUGHT TO RAISE SOME VERY SERIOUS QUESTIONS AND YET A TYPICAL REACTION TO SOMEONE LIKE ME ASKING THESE QUESTIONS IS THIS YOU HATE TRANSGENDER KIDS. USUALLY FOLLOWED BY DO NOT OUT KIDS, TWO PARENTS WHO MIGHT ABUSE THEM. TO CLAIM THE PARENTS ARE LIKELY TO ABUSE THEIR CHILDREN. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS. TO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO DECEIVE THEIR PARENTS IS EQUALLY OUTRAGEOUS AND EVEN DANGEROUS.

IS THIS TEACHER READY TO RESCUE THIS CHILD ON A WEEKEND WHEN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF LIVING A LIE? BECOMES UNBEARABLE. WE HAVE TO. LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BIG ONE. WHY HAS A ONCE VERY RARE CONDITION OF GENDER DYSPHORIA SKYROCKETED INTO A COMMON OCCURRENCE? IN SOME SCHOOLS. NOT ALL BUT SOME. WHY ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING POURED INTO QUOTE, GENDER AFFIRMING CARE AND QUOTE LED BY CT, A POLICY COOPERATIVE LEGISLATURE AND C T, A'S BIGGEST ALLY, PLANNED PARENTHOOD. WHY ARE OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS AUTISM? A. D H D DEPRESSION THAT AFFECT 70% OF THESE KIDS? IGNORED. WHY ARE TRADE D TRANSITION EARLIER? IGNORED AND EVEN VILIFIED. WHY SHOULD WE BE COMMITTED TO AFFIRM EVEN YOUNG CHILDREN WHEN 70 TO 90% OF GENDER QUESTIONING, NON AFFIRMED CHILDREN RETURNED TO THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX. THANK YOU, MISS COME CHANGING PRONOUNS ARE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. I'VE TALKED TO PARENTS. WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THEM. THANK YOU, MA'AM. HER LAST TWO SPEAKERS. JUDY. DESJARDIN AND MISS JENNY MURRAY. GOOD EVENING. UM I'M

[01:25:21]

RESEARCH SHOWS CHILDHOOD GENDER DYSPHORIA USUALLY DISSIPATES ON ITS OWN BY YOUNG ADULTHOOD IF TRANSITION IS NOT ENCOURAGED. THIS AVOIDS THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CROSS SEX MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS. SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE. THERE IS A STRONG EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT A MAJORITY OF CHILDREN BETWEEN 70 90% WHO EXPERIENCED GENDER DYSPHORIA TEND TO RESOLVE THEIR. GENDER IDENTITY, CONFUSION AND ACCEPT THE BIOLOGICAL SEX BY THE TIME THEY REACH ADULTHOOD. THAT IS IF THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO SOCIAL TRANSITION OR ACROSS SEX MEDICAL INTERVENTION. A REVIEW OF 10 STUDIES OF CHILDHOOD GENDER DYSPHORIA SHOWED AN AVERAGE OF 85% IDENTIFYING AS THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX AT YOUNG ADULTHOOD. SEVERAL OTHER STUDIES HAVE CITED IN THIS DOCUMENT. THE DRAMATIC RISE IN GENDER DYSPHORIA IN THE PAST DECADE, IS LIKELY INFLUENCED BY NONBIOLOGICAL FACTORS. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE CAUSE OF GENDER DYSPHORIA ARE COMPLEX SOCIAL CULTURAL. AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS APPEAR CAPABLE OF INFLUENCING A YOUNG PERSON TOWARDS TRANSGENDER IDENTITY. RECENT UNPRECEDENTED INCREASES IN GENDER IDENTITY WORLDWIDE AND A REVERSAL IN THE MALE TO MALE RATIO SUGGESTS THE INFLUENCE OF NONBIOLOGICAL FACTORS. YOUNG PEOPLE APPEAR SUSCEPTIBLE TO SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PERCENT OF GENERATION Z ADULTS BORN BETWEEN 1997 AND 2002, WHO IDENTIFY AS TRANSGENDER. HAS INCREASED BY 800% OVER GENERATION X BORN 1965 TO 1980 NOW 1.4% OF THE U. S TEENS. ABOUT 300,000 YEARS SAY THEY ARE TRANSGENDER. RECENT REGARDING THE RECENT EXPLOSION INCREASES IN FEMALES, RESEARCH SHOWS FEMALES ARE MORE INFLUENCED BY SOCIAL FACTORS. THANK YOU AND I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION HERE. HI, SHANI MURRAY. UM. A FEW COMMENTS FROM LAST MEETING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO. WE'RE CURRENTLY PRACTICING FOR THE SEMIFINALS WITH RENTED LIGHTS, SO I APPRECIATE IT. NUMBER TWO. I DO SEE POTENTIAL FOR THE PROPOSED DISTRICT RUN CHARTER SCHOOL. I HOPE YOU WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL FAMILIES TO ENSURE THEIR NEEDS ARE MET AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH TEACHERS TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT AND TRAINING NEEDED TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS. THREE I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICY. IT'S NOT ABOUT PROTECTING STUDENTS, TODD FRAZIER SAID AS MUCH LAST MEETING. IT'S ABOUT CATERING TO ANTI LGBTQ EXTREMISTS AND GIVING THEM A NOT SO THINLY VEILED OUTING POLICY, WHICH I THINK IS BECOMING CLEARER. FINALLY THANK YOU FOR APPROVING MY BOOK DONATION OF A DAY WITH NO WORDS.

DOCTOR TURNESS SAID ONE REASON HE DISCONTINUED THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION DISTRICT CALENDAR WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE FELT LEFT OUT WHEN WE DIDN'T CELEBRATE AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH. I HOPE THIS BOOK TOLD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A NONVERBAL CHILD WITH AUTISM HELPS BUILD AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING. AND I HOPE YOU ADDED TO THE REPOSITORY OF DISTRICT RESOURCES FOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. THANK YOU. OKAY THANK YOU, EVERYONE THAT SPOOK. THIS BRINGS

AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL DURING THE DAY. INTERVENTIONS INCLUDE SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION PROVIDED BY THE TEACHER WHERE TIERED INTERVENTIONS AND DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION ARE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS. TARGETED INTERVENTION

[01:35:03]

AND FRESHMEN SUCCESS, HOUSE AND OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS OFFERED AT VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. BUT THROUGH THE USE OF THE LEARNING RECOVERY, EMERGENCY BLOCK GRANT FUNDS WE ARE PROUD TO BE ABLE TO OFFER A NEW TARGETED INTERVENTION PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO STUDENTS IN THE AREA OF MATHEMATICS BOTH BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER SCHOOL. YOU'LL RECALL THAT THIS IS OUR PRIORITY AREA AS A DISTRICT BASED ON OUR SUMMIT OF CAST RESULTS FROM THE SPRING OF 2023 SHARED IN OUR SUPERINTENDENT STATE OF THE DISTRICT. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE OFFERING TARGETED INTERVENTION THROUGH SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION.

AFTER SCHOOL. TWO STUDENTS IN GRADES FIRST THROUGH SIX. THESE SMALL GROUPS ARE FOCUSING ON FOUNDATIONAL MATH SKILLS THROUGH TEACHER CREATED MATERIALS ARE ADOPTED CURRICULUM AND SOFTWARE SERVICES SUCH AS REFLEX MATH, THRAX MATH AND I READY. ADDITIONALLY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR EXPANDED LEARNING DEPARTMENT , ALL STUDENTS IN OUR AFTER SCHOOL CHILDCARE PROGRAMS ARE RECEIVING ACADEMIC INTERVENTION BEGINNING THIS YEAR, THREE TIMES A WEEK THROUGH THE USE OF THOSE AFOREMENTIONED PROGRAMS. DO YOU WANT TO JUMP IN? OKAY? OKAY I WILL JUMP IN HERE. UM I'M SO PROUD OF THIS. SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. UM THIS REFLECTS THIS SLIDE PARTICULAR REFLECTS OVER 1000 STUDENTS GETTING FREE. AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT IN MATHEMATICS THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR. IN THIS DISTRICT, THE NUMBER WAS ZERO. THIS YEAR. IT'S OVER 1000 WERE USING OUR ONE TIME MONEY FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DIRECTLY TO HELP KIDS AND WE'RE DOING IT BY PAYING TEACHERS TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL AND HELP KIDS LEARN, AND SO, UH, THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. THEY BROKE IT INTO. UM, THERE THERE. I BELIEVE IT'S 46 WEEK. SESSIONS UM THE KIDS STAY AFTER THE TEACHERS HELP THEM, UM AND, UH, JUST THE REPORTS FROM KIDS FROM TEACHERS FROM PARENTS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE. SO I'M THIS TOOK A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO THIS POINT. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN ALL YEAR. UM UM. AND SO I'M JUST REALLY THANKFUL FOR, UM, FOR THE TEAM, THE TEAM OLIVIA AND WILL AND UM AND GEORGE AND ALL THE PRINCIPLES FOR MOBILIZING BECAUSE EVERYBODY MOBILIZED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, AND IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT ARE GETTING FREE SUPPORT, SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. SO YOU MENTIONED THEY'RE GOING IN FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF WEEKS. IS THIS NUMBER GOING TO GROW? ABOVE 1000. YES SO THIS IS JUST FOR THE FIRST CYCLE ALONE, WHICH JUST WRAPPED UP THE FOLLOWING THE PAST WEEK, SO OVER 1000 STUDENTS WERE INVITED AND PARTICIPATED AND SO ADDITIONAL STUDENTS SOME WILL CONTINUE ON IF THEY HAVE NOT EXITED BASED OFF OF PRE AND POST TESTS AND PROGRESS THAT THEY'VE MADE, BUT ADDITIONAL STUDENTS WILL BE INVITED IN AND NOW THAT THIS FIRST CYCLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

THE BUSSES OUT THERE AMONGST THE TEACHERS AS WELL, WHO ARE REALLY ENJOYING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION TO KIDS AFTER SCHOOL, SO WE HAVE FAR MORE TEACHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN JUMPING ONTO THESE SUBSEQUENT CYCLES. THAT'S GREAT. FOR TWO MONTHS. WE'VE GOT 1000 STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH, SO THAT'S FANTASTIC. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE ELEMENTARY ALONE.

MULTIPLY THAT OUT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, AND THAT'LL BE GREAT. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. IS THERE A WAY TO IS THERE A WAY TO DO LIKE A SOCIAL MEDIA BLAST? OR MAYBE MORE LETTERS HOME TO PARENTS? BECAUSE I WAS JUST, UM, SOMEWHERE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AND THE PARENTS SAID THAT YOU KNOW THEY'RE CATCHING UP. AND I SAID, WHY AREN'T YOU USING THE INTERVENTION? AND SHE SAID, WHAT'S THAT? I SAID, WELL, IT'S AT YOUR SCHOOL, YOU KNOW? AND SO MAYBE JUST ANOTHER BLAST SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF IT. THEY CAN UTILIZE THIS ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL STUDENTS WERE TARGETED AND INVITED TO PARTICIPATE BASED OFF OF THEIR CAST SCORES THERE. I READY SCORES AS WELL AS TEACHER RECOMMENDATION. SO AT THE ELEMENTARY IT WAS VERY TARGETED.

BUT AT THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, IT IS OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS WHO NEED ANY TYPE OF MATH SUPPORT WITH THEIR COURSEWORK, IN ADDITION TO TARGETED INTERVENTION, SO WE WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH OUR SCHOOLS TO CONTINUE TO BLAST THAT OUT TO OUR FAMILIES. OKAY? SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S SOME PHOTOS ON THE SCREEN AS WELL THAT JUST SHOW THE AMAZING THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AFTER SCHOOL, AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD TO SAY THAT STUDENTS AND

[01:40:03]

SEE HOW OUR STUDENTS HAVE IMPROVED. SURE, WE CONGRATULATE 1000 STUDENTS AND THE 115 STUDENTS AND HOW MANY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS BUT YES, AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU THAT DATA AND JUST NUMBER OF FACTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH AND MASTER DURING THAT TIME, AS WELL AS PRE AND POST TESTS AS FAR AS SPECIFIC SKILLS THAT STUDENTS WERE TARGETING AT THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT LOOSER AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE FOCUSING HOMEWORK HELP AS WELL AS TARGETED INTERVENTION, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE THE BOARD UPDATE ON OUR ELEMENTARY DATA. OKAY AND THEN OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. YOU SAID THAT THREE TIMES A WEEK. THEY'RE GETTING ACADEMIC SUPPORT. IS THAT ALL JUST ON THE COMPUTER DOING THOSE PROGRAMS OR IS THERE OTHER? UM SUPPORTS AS WELL, JUST TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. SURE I'M LOOKING OVER AT DR LOPEZ BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR HIM AND HIS PROGRAMS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT STUDENTS DO RECEIVE ACADEMIC SUPPORT IN THE EXTENDED LEARNING

[01:45:04]

SO ON THAT. SCREEN THERE. WE HAVE OUR SEMESTER COURSES THAT ARE PART OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. HEALTH COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS SEMINAR. GOVERNMENT ECONOMICS AP MICROECONOMICS AP MACRO ECONOMICS AND AP GOVERNMENT. WE ALSO HAVE FOUR ELECTIVE SEMESTER COURSES THAT AREN'T LISTED BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY FALL INTO THE ELECTIVE CATEGORY OF SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY. BUSINESS LAW AND MARKETING. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING TASK FORCES TO EXPLORE THE CONVERSION OF THE SEMESTER LONG COURSES INTO COMBINED YEAR LONG COURSES FOR THE 2425 SCHOOL YEAR. PAIRING GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS. HEALTH AND COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AND THEN THE AFOREMENTIONED ELECTIVES OF PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY AND MARKETING BUSINESS LAW, WHICH NATURALLY FOLLOW EACH OTHER IN THE MASTER SCHEDULE CALENDAR. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE BEGINNING TO DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF THIS CHANGE WITH THEIR AFFECTED TEACHERS AND THE TOASTED TEAMS THAT WORK UPSTAIRS ARE CURRENTLY PLANNING OUT THOSE TASK FORCES. THE OTHER PART WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MATHEMATICS. JUST LIKE WITH THE INTERVENTION PROGRAM. THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TEAM HAS CONDUCTED A COMBINATION DATA DIVE, IN FACT FINDING EXPLORATION REGARDING OUR GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MATH. CURRENTLY OUR REQUIREMENT IS THAT STUDENTS NEED TO EARN 20 MATH CREDITS, WHICH IS LOWER THAN SOME AREA DISTRICTS AND THE UC CSU A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS OF 30 CREDITS. YOU MAY RECALL THAT ABOARD PRESENTATION WAS MADE ON MARCH 14TH REGARDING THIS MATH GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. FOR THE CLASS OF 2022 SHOWN ON THE SCREEN ARE INTERNAL DATA. INDICATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 85% OF SENIORS GRADUATED FROM P Y EL USD HAVING EARNED 30 OR MORE MATH CREDITS. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THE HARD WORK OF THE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO PROGRESS BEYOND THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. ANY GENERAL CULTURE OF SEEKING

[01:50:02]

THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE LEARNED THAT ARE 85% COMPLETION PERCENTAGE IS IN LINE WITH THE AREA DISTRICTS THAT HAVE INFORMALLY SHARED THEIR THREE YEARS OF MATH COMPLETION RATE WITH US WHEN THESE COMPLETION RATES ARE COMPARED AGAINST THE CAST SUMMIT OF MATH DATA. IN TERMS OF STUDENTS MASTERING THE STANDARDS. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE YEARS OF MATH REQUIRED AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THE CHART ON YOUR SCREEN. SHOWS AN AREA DISTRICT COMPARISON. CONTAINING THE NUMBER OF YEARS OF MATH REQUIRED IN COLUMN, TWO. THEIR SELF REPORTED PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO COMPLETED THREE YEARS OF MATH AND WORK 30 CREDITS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU MEASURE IT. ALONG WITH THEIR 2022 GRADUATION RATE, AND THEIR 2022 CAST MET OR EXCEEDED PERCENTAGES. FOR MATH. SO. THEREFORE WE ARRIVED AT THE CONCLUSION THAT OUR CURRENT MATH GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IS SUFFICIENT. AND THAT OUR FOCUS SHOULD REMAIN ON GETTING STUDENTS ALGEBRA READY BY NINTH GRADE SO THEY CAN BE SET UP FOR SUCCESS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND. AS SUCH. WE ARE GOING TO BE EXAMINING AND APPROVING OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH PRACTICES AND TARGETED INTERVENTIONS DURING AN OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL DAY TO ENSURE THAT AS MANY STUDENTS AND OUR HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA READY AS POSSIBLE. THE INTENT IS THAT FEWER AND FEWER STUDENTS WILL BE RECOMMENDED TO THE CORE SEQUENCE THAT STARTS WITH ALGEBRA ONE A AND ONE B IN FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE YEARS. SO THAT MORE STUDENTS CAN ACCESS ALGEBRA TO BUY THEIR JUNIOR YEAR. AND LEAD TO MORE SUCCESSFUL. POST HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS. THE EXISTING MASTER BATH TASK FORCE AND SITE ADMINISTRATORS ARE EXAMINING WHAT OUR MATH PATHWAY CAN LOOK LIKE IN LIGHT OF THE NEW MATHEMATICS FRAMEWORK THAT WAS RECENTLY PASSED. AND OUR UPCOMING MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM ADOPTION THAT WILL OCCUR IN FUTURE YEARS. AS NEW CURRICULAR CHOICES ARE PUBLISHED. THIS INCLUDES AN ANALYSIS OF OUR ACCELERATION AND SUPPORT PATHWAYS PROVIDED TO STUDENTS. SO FOR THE TIME BEING, THE COMBINATION OF THESE EFFORTS WILL BE OUR FOCUS IN ED SERVICES FOR MATHEMATICS IN LIEU. OF INCREASING THE MATH REQUIREMENT.

BRINGING IT BACK TO OUR WORK DURING THIS SCHOOL YEAR. THE TASK FORCE IS EXAMINING THE AFOREMENTIONED NEW ONE YEAR COURSES WILL START MEETING IN THE COMING WEEKS AGAIN LED BY ARTO, SIS. THE CURRICULUM COUNCIL PROCESS WILL BE USED TO APPROVE ANY NEW YEAR LONG COURSES THAT EMERGE FROM THIS WORK. FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THE SPRING. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR DISCUSSION THIS EVENING AND ANTICIPATE BRINGING FORWARD THE REVISED BOARD POLICY REGARDING GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS IN JANUARY FOR FIRST READING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE ENCOURAGING US NOT TO VOTE FOR A THIRD YEAR OF MATH. I ENCOURAGE US TO DO THAT. UM WE'RE ALREADY AT 85% THAT ARE THERE, UM, COMPARING IT TO THE OTHER DISTRICTS. IF WE INCREASE TO THE THIRD YEAR OF MATH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE, UM WHAT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS FOR THAT LAST 15? WE'RE ALREADY AT THAT SAME THRESHOLD THAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE AT. UM, ALSO. THE THIRD YEAR OF MATH, HAVING A THIRD YEAR OF MATH AND THE FOR ADULTS, UM THEY HAVE A BETTER PERCENTAGE OF UNDERSTANDING WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCIAL LITERACY, WHICH WAS REALLY THE REASON WHY I'VE BROUGHT THE WHOLE IDEA. FORWARD UM IT'S ABOUT MAKING ADULTS SUCCESSFUL SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN PERSONAL FINANCES AND THE FOUNDATION MATH THAT THEY GET IN THOSE IN THE THREE YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL HELPS BUILD THAT. UM I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF COMBINING ALGEBRA ONE A AND ONE B AND LOOKING AT THAT AS ONE CLASS IN THE FUTURE AND BUILDING FROM THERE. I DON'T THINK THAT, UM THAT NEXT YEAR.

[01:55:07]

MAYBE, UM. THEY'RE LIKE I CAN DO OTHER THINGS, AND IT'S NOT REQUIRED. YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY HAD A CHANGE IN THEIR PLAN. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT. UM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THOSE STUDENTS. UM. IT'S QUITE A FEW STUDENTS WHO ATTEMPTED THEY DIDN'T COMPLETE, SO I THINK IT'S NOTEWORTHY, AND, UM SOMETHING TO CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE AND TO PURSUE. UM. IF I COULD ADD JUST ONE MORE THING. I THINK THAT WE NEED TO TALK TO OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND OUR AND OUR UNIVERSITIES. THAT MATH ALIGNMENT IS NOT FLOWING FROM HIGH SCHOOL INTO COLLEGE AND THEY SEE GAPS. WHEN STUDENTS GET THERE, SO THERE THERE SENT DOWN TO MORE REMEDIAL LEVEL MATH PROGRAMS BEFORE THEY CAN GET IN, UM TO THOSE MATH CLASSES, SO THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AND WE NEED TO ALSO LOOK AT THAT. AND CONSIDER THAT AND THAT WAS THE NEXT POINT I WAS GOING TO GET TO. SO THANK YOU, UM YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES OR COLLEGES, AND THEY CAN'T OFFER ANYTHING BELOW A 100 LEVEL COURSE. AND SO MATH NOW JUST TURNED INTO A NINE UNIT COURSE FOR THEM. TO GET ALL THE SUPPORTS. AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THE ESPECIALLY THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB TO SUPPORT THESE STUDENTS, BUT WE NEED TO BE DOING A GOOD JOB TO SEND THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL. YOU KNOW? BUT I WOULD I WOULD BE CURIOUS IF THAT'S A YEARS OF MATH OR AN INTERVENTION PROCESS. I DON'T KNOW THAT A THIRD YEAR IS GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE INTERVENTION PROCESS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE INFORMATION GAP. THIRD YEAR, BUT AND I MEAN, I'M JUST DOING THE MATH LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 26. LESS GRADUATES BASED ON OUR DATA FROM LAST YEAR, UM, WITH KIDS NOT GETTING 30 CREDITS. NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE I'M JUST SAYING THAT'S THE NUMBERS. SO YOU OKAY, SO YOU WOULD ASSUME THAT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ACCURATE BECAUSE IF THERE WERE KIDS THAT HAD TO TAKE THREE YEARS, THEY WILL PROBABLY DO SO 26% PROBABLY EXTREME, BUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT LESS THAN A WHAT WAS OUR 94% GRADUATION RATE THAT'S GOING TO DROP AT LEAST INITIALLY, BUT I THINK THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE BRINGING UP WHICH I THINK ARE ACCURATE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT KIDS GOING TO COLLEGE AND GOING INTO CAREER READINESS ARE PREPARED. MATHEMATICALLY I THINK THE INTERVENTION IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN A THIRD YEAR OF MATH. JUST BASED ON WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THAT SEEING THESE NUMBERS THAT I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO FIND OUT, BUT THAT'S WHERE I WOULD LEAN. I WOULD LEAN TOWARDS MORE INTERVENTION TO GET KIDS TO HAVE THEIR IF THEY JUST DO TWO YEARS HAVE UH, MATH AT A LEVEL WHERE THEY CAN COMPLETE THINGS IN THE COLLEGE WORLD, AND THEN THEY WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE INTERVENTIONS ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE IN THE THIRD YEAR OF MATH. AND ALSO, UM, NO. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE INTERVENTION THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. PREVIOUSLY IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, LIKE ALL OF THESE INTERVENTIONS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, I'M SAYING THAT IS WHERE I SEE MORE ADVANTAGE FOR OUR STUDENTS. WELL WE'RE DEFINITELY DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. AND AS WE BUILD THAT INTO IT I WANT US TO SEE LOOKING INTO THAT THIRD YEAR. MATH MIGHT NOT BE NEXT YEAR, BUT IT COULD BE THE FOLLOWING YEAR OUT AS WE'RE BUILDING THAT COMPUTER SCIENCE AND BUILDING OUR CAPACITY AND BRINGING THOSE CLASSES TOGETHER AND DOING ALL THESE INTERVENTIONS AHEAD OF BEFORE AND BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF OUR STUDENTS WHEN THEY GET TO HIGH SCHOOL, SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF YEARS. UM, WE'RE ALMOST THERE ANYWAY. WERE COMPARATIVELY TO THE OTHER DISTRICTS OR DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING. UM YOU SEE, AND CSU REQUIREMENTS OR THREE YEARS, SO IT'S WE'RE DOING. I FEEL LIKE

[02:00:06]

STUDIES SHOW THAT THREE YEARS OF MATH GIVE YOU A BETTER ADVANTAGE , AND YOU HAVE BETTER PERSONAL FINANCES AS AN ADULT. I DON'T DISAGREE WITH MATH BEING IMPORTANT, HOWEVER, REQUIRING IT FOR GRADUATION. MAYBE A HINDRANCE TO MORE STUDENTS THAN WE REALIZED BASED ON THESE NUMBERS, AND HOWEVER, ALL OF THE INTEGRATION OR THE THAT INTERVENTION THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. I THINK. IS WHAT THE THIRD YEAR WOULD ACCOMPLISH IN MY MIND. THAT'S WHERE I WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT ORIGINALLY, I WAS LIKE, WELL, WE NEED MORE MATH. ABSOLUTELY BUT IF WE CAN FOCUS ON INTERVENTIONS, MAYBE THE THIRD YEAR ISN'T AS CRITICAL AS WE HAVE HAD PREVIOUS STUFF.

SOMETHING I JUST WANT TO THROW OUT THERE FOR CONSIDERATION IS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT REALLY TARGETING OUR FOCUS ON HAVING STUDENTS ENTER HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA READY AND TRYING TO TRANSITION KIDS OUT OF ALGEBRA ONE A AND ONE B AND EVENTUALLY ELIMINATING THAT COURSE. THAT MEANS THAT STUDENTS WHO MAY HAVE EARNED 20 CREDITS IN THE PAST JUST BY ALGEBRA, ONE A AND ONE B. THEY'RE DONE AT ALGEBRA ONE. WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE ALL STUDENTS ENTER AN ALGEBRA ONE, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO MOVE BEYOND THAT. SO WHEN WE SAY WE'RE NOT TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THREE YEARS OF MATH THAT WE'RE EMPHASIZING ALGEBRA READY, WE'RE GOING TO BE ACCOMPLISHING EXPOSING MORE STUDENTS TO MATH BY HAVING A LESS ALGEBRA ONE A ONE B PATHWAYS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS. MORE SENIORS WILL BE EXPOSED MATH THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 905 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN ALGEBRA, ONE A AND ONE B. OKAY I HAVE A QUESTION THAT I'VE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR. OKAY OUT OF THESE STUDENTS THAT DIDN'T COMPLETE UM OR ATTEMPTED THE CREDIT UNIONS AND CREDITS BUT DIDN'T COMPLETE THEM WHERE HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS BECAUSE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ARE EXEMPTED. ISN'T THAT CORRECT? WHEN I READ THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS? I'M JUST I WAS READING THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AGAIN TODAY AND I'M JUST TRYING. I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. NOT THAT THEIR EXAMPLE THAT IF IT'S INTO THEIR I E P THAN THAT, THAT WOULD BE ADJUSTED. WE HAVE THE SAME EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO NO, THEY'RE NOT EXEMPT. OKAY SO THAT WAS MY CONCERN WAS JUST GOING TO SAY IS MY CONCERN IS IF WE THROW A THIRD YEAR IN IT, UM OF MATH FOR GRADUATION. IS THAT GOING TO BE DISCRIMINATORY TO OUR, UM TO SOME OF OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MAYBE THIS IS THOSE NUMBERS. IF IT IS THEN THE REST OF THE DISTRICTS ARE BEING DISCRIMINATORY. YEAH WELL, THE THING IS, WHY ARE WE SO FOCUSED ON THREE YEARS OF MATH, THE KIDS THAT NEED THE THREE YEARS TO GO INTO CSU. AND TO GO TO THE UCS. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS AND SO THEY GO AND THEY TAKE THE THREE YEARS OF MATH. AND SO THE TWO YEARS OF METHOD WE HAVE NOW IF YOU WANT TO STOP IT TWO YEARS, YOU KNOW AND EXPLORE SOMETHING ELSE IF THAT'S NOT YOUR FORTE, AND THAT'S NOT YOUR INTEREST. I MEAN, I FIND IT HARD TO SAY THAT ALGEBRA TWO TAKING ALGEBRA TWO IS GOING TO HELP YOUR FINANCES.

I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THAT IN IN ALGEBRA TWO. I MEAN, I WOULD SAY THAT I HAVE PROBABLY NEVER WANT MAYBE ABUSED ALGEBRA. AND I DID HELP WITH THE GEOMETRY QUESTION. LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER USED ALGEBRA TWO AND BARELY ANY GEOMETRY. SINCE I'VE LEFT HIGH SCHOOL AND SO LIKE, LET'S BE REAL IS LIKE WE NEED TO EQUIP THE KIDS, BUT LIKE IS THIS HIGH LEVEL MATH, THE KIDS THAT NEED AND WANT THE HIGH LEVEL MATH. THEY'RE TAKING IT. AND SO WHY ARE WE FORCING OTHER KIDS WHO ARE JUST THAT'S JUST NOT THEM. WHY ARE WE FORCING A THIRD YEAR BACK? WHAT WE'RE BUILDING ALL OF THIS MATH AND FOCUSING ON ALL THIS MATH AND WE BRING UP A THIRD YEAR MATH AND IT SHUT DOWN, AND IT'S JUST ODD THE IT JUST DOESN'T IT DOESN'T WORK WELL, THE THIRD YEAR OF MATH DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE ADVANCED MATH LIKE THAT'S THE POINT. EXACTLY. IT MIGHT BE. BUSINESS, MATH OR PERSONAL FINANCE OR RIGHT. SO THEN WHAT'S THE? WHY DO WE NEED TO HAVE A REQUIREMENT? THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION? I JUST RECENTLY TURNED A TRADE SCHOOL. THAT DEAL DEALT WITH PLUGGING H VAC. UM LOW VOLTAGE. AN ELECTRICIAN'S SCHOOL. AND WHAT THEY TOLD ME IS THAT A LOT OF THEIR STUDENTS DON'T COME WITH THE MASS SKILLS.

SO THESE ARE SO THEY'RE HAVING TO RE MEDIATE THEM IN MATH, SO IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW , TO A UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE. THIS IS JUST A CAREER. SO THEY USED THOSE SKILLS IN THEIR

[02:05:05]

WE'RE HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT AND MET WITH THE DEPARTMENT CHAIRS. UM AND HAVE THIS DISCUSSION WITH THEM. THEY DON'T FEEL STRONGLY THAT A THREE YEAR MATH REQUIREMENT IS NECESSARY. UM I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF POTENTIALLY LOOKING TO COMPUTER SCIENTISTS AS UM, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE ROAD AS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. UM AH. I WAS MATH TEACHER MYSELF. I'M IN FAVOR OF TRYING TO SEND LESS KIDS TO THIS MATH A AND THEN MATH BE SO I DO THINK THAT IS IF WE CAN GET MORE KIDS INTO A ONE YEAR ALGEBRA. THAT'S THE FOCUS, BUT ULTIMATELY I THINK WE NEED TO RELY ON OUR EXPERTS. UM AND, UM YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO GO. UM AH, LET'S TALK TO OUR TEACHERS ABOUT IT.

CONTINUE THAT DISCUSSION WITH OUR TEACHERS. AND WITH OUR PEOPLE THAT ARE ARE STUDYING IT AND LOOKING AT IT. UM AND AS OF NOW, THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT IT. BUT BASED ON THE EXPERTS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE DISTRICT. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE FINDING. ANYTHING ELSE? ALRIGHT. GOOD DISCUSSION. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR. THANK YOU. OKAY, FOLKS. OUR NEXT PORTION INCLUDES BOARD INFORMATION. THIS SECTION. I'M

[16. BOARD INFORMATION]

SO THIS IS A DISCUSSION ITEM. UM THIS IS NOT INVITING ITEM ON SCHOOL FEES AND DONATIONS. WE'VE HEARD QUITE A BIT FROM THE BOARD. AND SO THIS IS MORE TO GET SOME DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD. UM SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE NOTICED. UH UM A LOT OF SPORTS PROGRAMS ARE ASKING PARENTS FOR QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND DONATIONS. AH AND SO, UH, I THINK AS A DISTRICT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WAYS TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON OUR FAMILIES. UM THERE'S A LOT OF CLUBS AND PROGRAMS THAT WERE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. SOMETIMES THOUSANDS. UM, TO SUPPORT WHATEVER THAT PROGRAM IS. AH, SO, UH, SO THAT'S 11 THING. I'VE NOTICED. THE OTHER PIECE IS, UM RELATED. TO SCHOOL FEES IN GENERAL. AH WHAT WHAT DO WE CHARGE STUDENTS FOR? WHAT DOES A S B CONTROL VERSUS NOT FOR EXAMPLE, UM, TICKET SALES. SO FOR OUR BIG PROGRAMS LIKE FOOTBALL, FOR EXAMPLE, TAKES IN QUITE A BIT OF MONEY. AH THAT GOES TO THE S B CURRENTLY, UM WHEREAS THE SCHOOL BOARD CAN ACTUALLY DECIDE HOW TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY OR WHERE IT SHOULD GO. UM SO, UM. THERE'S QUITE A BIT AROUND SCHOOL FEES IN GENERAL, HOW MUCH MONEY GOES THROUGH A S B. I KNOW, UM UM, MR STEIN'S LOOKING AT UM, A S B AND WAZE TO MAKE MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM. FOR CASH COLLECTIONS AND FOR JUST A S B IN GENERAL AT ALL OF OUR SITES, AND HE'LL BE COMING. I BELIEVE IN THIS SPRING, UM, WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON WAYS TO, UH UM. TO MAKE THAT THE WHOLE A SB PROCESS MORE EFFICIENT, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY GOING THROUGH ITS B. WE HAVE A LOT OF, UM, REQUESTED DONATIONS WERE ASKING PARENTS FOR SO AT THIS TIME WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THE BOARD ON SPECIFIC AREAS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE US TO UM TO EXAMINE FURTHER AND TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD. IT MAY HAVE TO BE A STUDY SESSION, FRANKLY, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH HERE. SO THIS IS SORT OF AN OPEN AND IN THAT ITEM THAT WE'D LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU, HUNT. YES. YEAH ABSOLUTELY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A THERE'S A LOT OF

[02:10:05]

THAT'S THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY THAT GOES THROUGH. FROM SPORTS AND ARTS IN GENERAL. AND THEN FOR JUST SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND FEES AND THAT IT'S A PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT LIKE WE SHOULD.

PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE PAYING AS MUCH AS WE HAVE TO PAY. FOR THESE KIND OF THINGS SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS EQUITABLE. SO YOU LOOK AT A FOOTBALL TEAM AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE ON A TEAM. UM IF THEY WERE TO GET THE TICKET SALES FROM THAT, HOW DOES THAT MATRICULATE INTO CHEERLEADING BAND COLOR GUARD? BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL THEY'RE PERFORMING AT THE SAME TIME. UM, IF IT IS UM, SOCCER VERSUS FOOTBALL VERSUS UM GOLF. UM WHAT IS THE BREAKDOWN? AND ARE WE BEING EQUITABLE FOR EACH SPORT FOR? UM FOR EACH SCHOOL? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? OVERALL THOSE ARE THE DETAILS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON THE FACILITIES? UM, IS EVERYBODY PAYING A FAIR SHARE TOWARD FACILITIES THAT THEY'RE USING, UM, AND INCLUDING ALL OF OUR OUTSIDE, UM, ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE THAT ARE RENTING AND USING OUR FACILITIES. HOW DOES THAT FACTOR IN AS WE LOOK AT SPORTS AND ARTS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS , IT'S VERY COMPLEX. UM AND IT SHOULD BE EVEN, UM, THAT YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE AT ONE SCHOOL AND IT THEATER DEPARTMENT WHERE YOU RAISE A YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF TICKET SALES AND YOU RAISE FUNDS AT ANOTHER ONE. THEY MIGHT NEED THE EXTRA SUPPORT. SO HOW DOES ALL OF THAT BALANCE SO THAT WE'RE NOT? UM CREATING SOME DIFFERENCES BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, ADJUSTING THE WHOLE FLOW OF HOW THINGS GO. THERE HAS BEEN SOME ISSUE WITH A S. B AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY THAT THEY HOLD ON A REGULAR BASIS. UM I KNOW THAT WE'VE PUT IN SOME THINGS BEFORE WHERE THEY HAVE TO IDENTIFY. YOU KNOW WHAT IF THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF MONEY WITH THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHERE THEY'RE PLANNING ON SPENDING THAT, UM, THEY HOLD A BIG BALANCE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO THROUGH. UM AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SB WHEN THEY'RE DOING ALL OF THE SCHOOL EVENTS AND THE DANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S UM, IT'S SUPER COMPLEX, AND IT'S HARD FOR ME TO EVEN BEGIN TO ASK MORE OF THE RIGHT QUESTIONS BEFORE. HAVING THAT BASELINE INFORMATION ON WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE SCHOOL TO SCHOOL SPORT TO SPORT. UM IT ACTUALLY EVEN LEADS ME TO OUR REPORT ON CLASSIFIED AND CERTIFICATED STAFF WHERE YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE, UM, THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND THE DIFFERENT, UM, BOOSTER SPONSORED VERSUS DISTRICT SPONSORED AND IT'S KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH IT ALL MIXED TOGETHER, SO IT'S REALLY HARD WITHOUT CUTTING AND PASTING AND FIGURING IT OUT ON YOUR OWN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. BREAKDOWN BY SCHOOL BY SPORT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MY NEXT STEP WOULD BE. I THINK FOR ME, THE BIG ONE WAS, UM, THE TICKET SALES. WITH YOU KNOW YOUR FOOTBALL AND YOU HAVE LIKE WRESTLING AND YOUR BASKETBALL. NOBODY'S KEEPING THEIR TICKET SALES AND IT'S GOING STRAIGHT INTO A S. B. UM AND THEN WITH THE, UM, PARKING LIKE WE'RE CHARGING OUR STUDENTS $25 PARK IN THE PARKING LOT. YOU KNOW WHERE THEY GO TO SCHOOL? AND I MEAN, I DON'T I NEVER PAID FOR PARKING SPOT IN HIGH SCHOOL.

UM I DON'T RECALL WRITING A CHECK FOR PARKING PARKING. YOU KNOW, IT'S 20 $25 ESPERANZA. I THINK IT'S $20 AT YOUR BELINDA HAD TO BUY THAT SPOT. I HAVE TWO MONTHS UNTIL THEN. BUT YOU KNOW,

[02:15:04]

AND THEN THERE'S 25 OR 30 AT ANOTHER SCHOOL, BUT IT'S ALL BEING DONE IN THE GYM. AND SO LIKE, WHAT ARE THE PARENTS PAYING FOR? AND LIKE, WHY ARE THERE THESE BIG AH, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS, BUT I GUESS REALLY WHAT? THE CONCERN IS ALSO IS THE FIELDS AND I KNOW THAT DR TURNESS HAS SAID THAT THEY ARE WORKING HARD WITH FACILITIES TO YOU KNOW BETTER THESE FIELDS, BUT I'VE SAT ON SOME BASEBALL BOOSTERS WHERE WE HAVE TO LASER LEVEL OF FIELD AND IT'S TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DO IT, AND IT'S COMING FROM THE BOOSTERS. BUT THEN YET WE'VE HAD, UM PEOPLE OUT THERE USING THE FIELD OUTSIDE USERS THEY'RE PAYING FOR THAT FIELD. THEY'RE USING THAT FIELD AND THE MONEY IS COMING INTO THE DISTRICT. AND THEN SO I SAID, WELL, WHY CAN'T WHY CAN'T THE MONEY COME? YOU KNOW TO AT LEAST HELP SOME OF THE FIELDS OR LIKE A CERTAIN PORTION OF IT BECAUSE WE HAVE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AT ESPERANZA. THEY'RE ALL OVER THE GIRLS' SOCCER OR I'M SORRY. THE GIRLS SOFTBALL FIELD AND THERE ARE ALSO ON THE SOCCER FIELDS AND THE SOFTBALL FIELD AND THE SOCCER COACHES ARE HAVING TO PAY EXTRA MONEY FROM THEIR FUNDS TO MAINTAIN IT. BUT YET WE'RE ALLOWING THESE OUTSIDE USERS ON THESE FIELDS AND THEY COME AND DEMOLISH IT. AND THEN WE'RE MAKING THE BOOSTERS WHICH ARE THE PARENTS, YOU KNOW, HAVE TO FUND IT AND THEN HAVE TO GO AND FIX IT. AND SO I JUST SEE A LOT OF THAT STUFF GOING ON IS YOU KNOW, AND IT'S HIGH SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOMEBODY MENTIONED TO SOME OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS. YOU KNOW THE TRACK LIKE THOSE GET USED, AND THEN THEY GET DESTROYED AND SO LIKE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THAT WEALTH? THE MIDDLE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE ANY BOOSTERS AND THE YOU KNOW THE PARENT BOOSTERS AND THEY'RE NOT. BUT WHEN YOU COME TO THE HIGH SCHOOLS IT'S THE PARENTS ARE HAVING TO PAY. AND SO THAT'S JUST BEEN REALLY, UM YOU KNOW AN ISSUE AND THEN YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES TO LIKE ALL OF THIS, YOU KNOW THESE DANCE TICKETS AND YOU KNOW YOUR A S BEAST CARDS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ALL THIS STUFF THAT WE'RE PUTTING ALL THIS MONEY INTO LIKE, SOMETIMES A GROUP WILL SAY, WELL, I WANT TO USE THIS.

AND THEY GET TOLD ONE. NO, YOU CAN'T USE THAT THAT BELONGS TO USB. YOU KNOW, FOR LIKE ONE OF THEIR FUNCTIONS AND SO LIKE, ARE WE A GROUP HERE AND LIKE EVERYBODY'S PAYING INTO IT, AND AS THEIR OWNERSHIP OF THESE ITEMS THAT IS LIKE SHOULD BE A POT. AND SO I DO AGREE COMPLETELY WITH YOU ABOUT THE EQUITABLE BECAUSE HOW DO YOU JUST GIVE THE FOOTBALL TEAM THE FOOTBALL SALE? YOU CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE THE BANDS OUT THERE HERE IS OUT THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS, BUT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT. UM AND TRY TO START GIVING OUR PROGRAMS BACK MORE MONEY SO THEY CAN BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IF THEY NEED TO HIRE MORE COACHES SAY FOR SOMETHING, BUT I MEAN CHEER IS EXHAUSTED. I MEAN, CHEERS. LIKE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. AND SO YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN HELP GIVE THEM SOME OF THE MONEY, AND I THINK IT'S JUST MORE OF ACCOUNTABILITY. I THINK THAT'S WHAT TODD HAS BEEN SAYING. PARENTS AND FAMILIES. THEY WANT ACCOUNTABILITY, AS LIKE WHERE THEIR MONEY IS GOING, AND IT'S JUST REALLY I FEEL LIKE JUST KIND OF OUT OF CONTROL. AND SO WE AS A DISTRICT I HOPE CAN KIND OF, LIKE, GET IN THERE AND, YOU KNOW, DIVIDE THINGS UP EQUITABLY FOR PEOPLE SO EVERYBODY CAN HAVE A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT ONLY JUST AT ONE HIGH SCHOOL BUT AT ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS. UM YOU KNOW, LIKE EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I'M BY POOLS A LOT. AND YOUR BELINDA. I THINK IN VALENCIA THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE A SHADED STRUCTURE, WHEREAS ESPERANZA AND ELDORADO DO SO YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE THAT. WHERE YOU KNOW YOU GO TO CERTAIN THINGS. AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU HAVE THESE MAKESHIFT EASIER IF IT YOU KNOW, IT'S BLOWING OVER ON PEOPLE LIKE JUST THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT I THINK CAN BE LOOKED AT AS WE LIKE. GO FORWARD WITH THIS NEWFOUND, YOU KNOW THIS NEW, UM MONEY THAT WE HAVE TOWARDS THINGS, BUT I JUST THINK LIKE A DEEP DIVE, AND I THINK WE OWE IT TO OUR COMMUNITIES TO HAVE THIS DEEP DIVE INTO ALL OF THIS STUFF. UM AND IT'S NOTHING AGAINST IT'S NOTHING AGAINST SP. WE'RE NOT SITTING HERE GOING. GOSH DARN YOU. WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT VOTE AND I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. BUT, UM YOU KNOW FROM LIKE THE PARENTS AND SAY, WELL, HE'S ON HIS BE SO I YOU KNOW, BUT FROM LIKE, MY STANDPOINT I GO.

[02:20:01]

I SHOULD SAY I'M LIKE A LOT OF THEM WILL WILL TAKE THE MONEY FROM THEIR TICKET SALES AND THEY'LL PAY THE OFFICIALS AND THEY'LL PAY THIS. PAY THAT, BUT THEN, LIKE THE MONEY CAN GET ALLOCATED BACK INTO LIKE, YOU KNOW, SPORTS OR WHEREVER IT IS, THERE ARE WAYS TO DO IT. OKAY, UM I THINK MAYBE A GOOD SPOT TO START. IS LAST YEAR WE PASSED A BOARD, UM, POLICY ON COLLECTIVE ACTIVITIES. I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED AND IT CONNECTED SCHOOL CONNECTED ACTIVITIES AND IT LISTED KIND OF LIKE A PROTOCOL, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS IN THERE IS LIKE A BUDGET FOR ALL THE BOOSTERS. SO TO BE, UH, A BOOSTER ON ONE CAMPUSES. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A BUDGET AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE JUST TO COMPILE ALL THOSE BUDGETS AND KIND OF SEE WHERE WE'RE AT. UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS I DON'T KNOW. UM WORRISOME TO ME OR THAT I LOOK AT IS WE APPROVE, YOU KNOW, EXTENDED FIELD TRIPS. AND SOME OF THESE FIELD TRIPS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. SO I KIND OF WOULD LIKE TO LOOK OR WE DOING THESE ANNUALLY IS IT YOU KNOW, EVERY OTHER YEAR? HOW CAN WE TAKE SOME OF THAT PRESSURE OFF OF OUR PARENTS? YOU KNOW? ARE THEY GOING EVERY YEAR? OR IS THERE A BABY? A MORE COST EFFECTIVE TOURNAMENT. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I LOOK AT THESE TOURNAMENTS AND THEY'RE GONE FOR, LIKE, FIVE DAYS AND THEY'RE FLYING, BUT THEY'RE REALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THERE, THEY'RE PLAYING THREE GAMES. SO IS THAT COST EFFECTIVE OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW ARE WE, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE MOST DOLLARS FOR WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING, AND I JUST THINK THAT'S A GOOD PLACE TO START. BUT I DEFINITELY THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT IT. UM I WAS TALKING TO A PRINT, NOT A PRINCIPLE, BUT UM, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. AND THEY WERE MENTIONING TO ME THEIR SCHOOL

[02:25:01]

SOMEONE IS COMING UP WITH THOSE DOLLARS SOMEHOW. WHETHER IT'S THE BOOSTER FUNDRAISING EXTRA FOR THOSE STUDENTS ARE ARE GETTING THE KIDS THE EQUIPMENT SOMEHOW THROUGH OTHER FUNDS, SO I THINK THAT THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND GONE THROUGH, AND I THINK YOU KNOW OUR WORK ON. YOU KNOW THE BOARD POLICY WAS A START, BUT IT'S TIME TO DIE BACK INTO THIS. AND COME UP. AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE CAN FIX AND HOW WE CAN HELP SUPPORT HER STUDENTS SO THAT ALL STUDENTS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THESE ACTIVITIES. YOU KNOW, IN AN ECONOMICAL WAY WITHOUT PARENTS TAKING OUT SECOND MORTGAGES OR SAYING THEY DON'T THEY CAN'T DO IT. THEY CAN'T PARTICIPATE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD JUST ONE MORE THING. AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING TOWARDS SOME C I F COMPETITIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A DISTRICT MAKE SURE THAT THE SPORTS THAT ARE QUALIFYING AND MAKING IT TO C I F. THAT THAT'S NOT A COST BARRIER FOR THE STUDENTS THAT ARE ON THOSE TEAMS. I DON'T THINK THERE'S NO EXTRA COST FOR CF TO THE PLAYERS OR WHAT COULD BE LIKE TRANSPORTATION OR TRAVELING, TRAVEL. WHATEVER CROSS COUNTRY THEY HAVE TO GO UP TO CLOVIS, SO THEY'RE SPENDING THAT THEY QUALIFY FOR C. I F. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO ATTEND THOSE PAID OUT OF THE BOOSTERS NOW OR I HAVE NO IDEA COME TO LOOK AT. I ALSO AM NOT INTERESTED IN SAYING UH, YOU CANNOT SPEND SO MUCH MONEY, BUT REQUIRING IT FROM PARENTS IS WHERE I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S WE CAN GET REALLY IN THE WEEDS AND SAYING, WELL, YOU CAN'T SPEND MORE THAN X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS WELL, BUT IF THEY HAVE A GOOD FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN, AND THEY HAVE A SPONSOR FROM A LOCAL BUSINESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD RESTRICT WHAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO SPEND. BUT BUT, YEAH, BUT LOOKING INTO SOMETHING AND SAYING, LET'S NOT LET'S NOT, BUT LET'S HAVE A THRESHOLD FOR WHAT PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO NOW NOT REQUIRED.

IT'S A DONATION. UM BUT THE OTHER THING THAT I MENTIONED IN OUR, UM I THINK IT WAS IN RL CAP. MEETING WAS A PROGRAM THAT I HEARD ANOTHER DISTRICT I FORGET WHICH DISTRICT IT WAS, BUT I HAVE A PRESENTATION ON IT AND A S B FOR ALL PROGRAMS WHERE THE DISTRICT FUNDS SB FOR ALL STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT, SO A SB GETS FUNDED. COMPLETELY AND THEN THE MONEY THAT WOULD HAVE GONE TO A SP FROM THE ATHLETICS AND OTHER CO CURRICULAR GOES DIRECTLY TO ATHLETIC, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS. I JUST KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD LOOK INTO, AS WELL. UM AND MAYBE MARRYING THESE TWO THINGS, AND I THINK THERE'S LOTS OF CREATIVE SOLUTIONS I THINK WE CAN COME UP WITH. I THINK MR STEIN HAS A LOT ON HIS PLATE. UM I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH THIS WITH OUR FACILITIES AND DOING AN EVALUATION WOULD WE LOOKED AT OTHER DISTRICTS AND WHAT THEY CHARGE AND FOR A WEEK, SO IT'S VERY COMPLEX, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND LOOKING AT OTHER DISTRICTS TO AND SEEING WHAT THEY DO. AND IF THEY'VE GOT SOME KNOWLEDGE THAT WE COULD GLEAN, UM, BUT I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GET THROUGH THIS. SO UM I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO IT AND SPENDING THE TIME ON IT, AND I HOPE TO HEAR BACK AND THEN NEXT FEW MONTHS HOW IT'S GOING. WELL, GOOD LUCK. I THINK THEY'RE ALL GOING ON VACATION NEXT WEEK.

SOMEBODY'S GOING ON VACATION THURSDAY. OKAY? EVERYTHING GOOD ANY MORE QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT.

[17. CONSENT CALENDAR]

[23. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

[02:30:06]

[24. BOARD REPORT]

[02:35:04]

IT'S ON MY CALENDAR. UM MRS BUCHAN WAS ALSO HERE. BUT THE WOMEN HAVE INDUSTRY. UM MEETING AND I JUST REALLY LIKED HEARING. UM THE PROFESSIONALS, THEIR SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH OUR STUDENTS AND A BIG THANK YOU TO STUDENTS, STAFF AND THE REACH FOUNDATION FOR MAKING THIS EVENT POSSIBLE. UM FOR OUR STUDENTS TO GET THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE CAREER READINESS. UM, I ATTENDED, UM. AND OCCUPATIONAL SCHOOLS CALLED A B C SCHOOL, AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT. I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, UM ABOUT THE SERVICES THEY HAVE, LIKE PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL AGE BACK AND LOW VOLTAGE, AND IT'S A REALLY INTERESTING SCHOOL BECAUSE ALL THEIR STUDENTS. ARE PAID TO WORK. THEY ALL ARE WORKING IN THEIR FIELDS WHILE THEY'RE

[02:40:01]

IT'S OVER ON THE PALME. IT'S CALLED ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION OF BUSINESS KIND OF BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS. UM, WHEN I WORKED AT THE SHELTER, WE USED TO SEND SOME OF OUR CLIENTS OVER THERE TO GIVE THEM SOME JOB SKILLS. IT'S REALLY GREAT. IT'S REALLY GREAT. AND I'VE REACHED OUT TO DR GRAY ABOUT THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW WE CAN PARTNER AND LOOK INTO THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS. UM I TENDED THE DISTRICT ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL THE SCHOOLS. AND PARENTS OF ENGLISH LEARNERS AND I LEARNED MORE ABOUT OUR 2000, ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND OUR DISTRICT AND THEY TALKED ABOUT RE CLASSIFICATION. AND THE DISTRICT MASTER PLAN, WHICH I AM EXCITED TO SEE THERE IN THE PROFITS BUILT AND NOW THEY'RE GETTING FEEDBACK FROM FAMILIES AND, UM SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE FINAL DRAFT LOOKS LIKE. UM AND ALSO, UM. THEY HAD FREE ENGLISH CLASSES OFFERED AT TOPAZ DAILY FROM 8 TO 11. SO THAT'S A NEED. THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES THERE. AND I JUST REALLY LIKED ALL THE POSITIVE INTERACTIONS FROM THE DISTRICT. WITH THESE FAMILIES AND HELPING JUST HELP THEM. UM I WENT TO THE SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK AT MELROSE AND A TOPAZ. UM 106 FAMILIES WERE SERVED AT MELROSE ELEMENTARY. THE DAY I WENT AND 60 FAMILIES WERE SERVED AT TOPAZ AND I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL. FOR THE VOLUNTEERS OF THE SECOND HARVEST FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE. I WENT TO THE FIRST ONE, AND THEY'RE LIKE COME TO TOPAZ AND WORK. SO I SHOWED UP TO TOW PATHS AND MY TENNIS SHOES AND MY APRON AND, UM AND PASSED OUT EGGS AND TOFU. UM. AND IT WAS JUST, UM, JUST A REALLY NICE EXPERIENCE INTERACTING WITH THOSE FAMILIES AND SEEING ONLINE. WHAT UM, HOW THESE VOLUNTEERS SERVE OUR THINGS. UM I ALSO ATTENDED THE BAND PAGEANT. JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING. AND I'M ALWAYS KIND OF BLOWN AWAY EVERY YEAR. AND I THINK THE BAND PAGEANT IS KIND OF WHAT MAKES OUR DISTRICT SPECIAL AND I JUST WANT TO DO A SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR MUSIC.

TEACHERS SUPPORT STAFF PARENTS BUS DRIVERS FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE HELPING UM I DID A TOUR AND A VISIT AT THE NURSES HAVE AT CREAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND, UM IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO LISTEN TO OUR NURSES AND LEARN ALL THAT THEY'RE DOING TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND KIND OF GOT IT LOOK AT KIND OF THEIR TRAINING PROTOCOLS FOR HEALTH. CLERC'S AIDES AND OFFICE STAFF AND TEACHERS AND EVEN THE BEST DRIVERS GET TRAINED. AND, UM JUST LISTENING TO THEM TALK. IT JUST SOUNDED A LITTLE OVERWHELMING TO ME, BUT I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE NURSES THAT ARE DEDICATED TO OUR STUDENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT THESE THINGS ARE ALL POSSIBLE. UM, I TENDED, UM. THREE ASSEMBLIES FOR THE STUDENT FENTANYL TRAINING. WANT TO ELDORADO, YOUR BELINDA HIGH SCHOOL AND ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL , AND I THOUGHT THAT THESE PRESENTATIONS WERE VERY INFORMATIVE AND I WATCHED THE STUDENTS REALLY ENGAGED. I SAW A LOT OF HEAD SHAKING, LISTENING.

UM GOOD QUESTIONS ANSWERED. AND I REALLY ENJOYED UM AND APPRECIATE. OUR PARTNERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROVIDE THESE THESE TRAININGS. AS WAS MENTIONED. I WENT TO THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR I WON'T REPEAT THAT. BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO ERIC. AND MICHELLE ON THEIR WELL DESERVED, UM RECOGNITION. UM, I ATTENDED. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING. UM WHERE VALERIE. UM HUBBARD, WHO WAS RECOGNIZED TONIGHT WAS ALSO RECOGNIZED THROUGH THE CITY OF ANAHEIM FOR HER LIFE SAVING ACTIONS, AND THAT WAS REALLY GREAT. AND I AM ATTENDED THE SHOWCASE. AS DR TURNER'S MENTIONED, AND IT WAS GREAT TO BE THERE AND, UM, MY FAVORITE PART OF THE EVENING WAS REALLY HEARING FROM THE CURRENT STUDENTS SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCES. AND THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM THAT CAMBRIDGE ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL. UM CERTIFICATE AND THE VAL TECH PROGRAM. AND LISTENING TO ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES EXPERIENCES.

STUDENTS HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS AND PARTICIPATED IS TRULY PHENOMENAL. AND, UM, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS THERE. EVELYN SHA, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE STAFF THAT PROVIDE THESE PROGRAMS TO OUR OUR STUDENTS, AND IT REALLY SPEAKS VOLUMES TO

[02:45:08]

ALL RIGHT. AH I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE BAND PAGEANT AS WELL. WHICH IS ALWAYS AH, NEAT BECAUSE I REMEMBER PARTICIPATING IN THE BAND PAGEANT WHEN I WAS IN AT YOUR WILL AND YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL. UM AND IT'S JUST A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE JUNIOR HIGH BAND TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE WITH THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE ELDORADO MARCHING MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN PHENOMENAL AND YOU GET TO SEE THAT UP CLOSE AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, I COULD BE A PART OF THAT. YEAH, YEAH. VERY COOL, AND I JUST LOVE THE INTEGRATION THAT THAT BRINGS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND THEN JUST SHOWCASES WHAT OUR KIDS CAN DO. UM IT'S SO GREAT, THEN ALSO ATTENDED THE STATE OF THE CITY FOR YOUR BELINDA EVENT. I GOT TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF YOUR BELINDA CONNECTION WITH ALL THE BUSINESSES AND THINGS THERE, AND I KNOW WE'VE GOT WE DID AN EVENT LAST YEAR WITH THE PRINCIPLES UM, IN THIS ROOM WITH THE YEP. TO PRISON FOR A DAY, RIGHT? YEAH AND THAT JUST INTEGRATING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY AND WITH BUSINESSES AND ALL OF OUR CTE PATHWAYS, I THINK DOING AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO INTEGRATE AND OVERLAP. THAT IS GREAT FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, AND FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED ALSO WAS THAT IT WAS THE OTHER THING.

BESIDES BEFORE I GET INTO ALL THE SPORTS, UM THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. OH, NO. UH YEAH, THAT WAS IT. AH BEEN ATTENDING A LOT OF SPORTING EVENTS THE AS IT WAS MENTIONED THE ESPERANZA GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL 25 AND O SECOND IN THE NATION. AH IT WAS A GRUELING MATCH BETWEEN ORANGE LUTHERAN FOR AN OVERTIME WIN AND THE CHARGERS CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL GAME. UM, WHICH AH AS IT OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. SO UH AND, UH AND MY DAUGHTER CAUGHT THE TYING TOUCHDOWN. AND THEN MY OTHER DAUGHTER CAUGHT THE WINNING EXTRA POINT, PHENOMENAL. AND THEN THEY GOT INVITED TO GO TO JUST THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME FROM THIS STUFF. THE ENTIRE TEAM GOT INVITED TO GO TO THE CHARGERS GAME THIS SUNDAY AND RUN THE TEAM OUT OF THE TUNNEL COMPLETELY PAID FOR BY THE CHARGERS, WHICH WAS PHENOMENAL. UM AND THE THINGS THAT THESE KIDS GET OPPORTUNITIES TO WHEN THEY PARTICIPATE IN THESE CO CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IS SOMETHING THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BE LIFE CHANGING THE THINGS THAT THEY SEE THAT THEY GET TO INTERACT WITH TWO OF OUR PLAYERS. UH FROM THE FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM GOT INVITED TO THE U. S OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER THIS LAST WEEKEND. MY DAUGHTER WAS ONE OF THEM. UM AND IT'S JUST NEAT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN KIDS ARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY CAN THRIVE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BEEN GIFTED WITH. SO UM, I JUST THINK THAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AS SISTERS ARE GREAT. I APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS HAPPENING WITH THE MATH READINESS AND THE ALL THE INTEGRATIONS THAT WE HAVE THERE. UM YEAH, IT'S THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND THANKSGIVING IS COMING. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. THAT MEANS CHRISTMAS IS ON ITS WAY. SO I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE YEAH, TAKE IT. WELL, I DID START WATCHING HOMEWORK CHRISTMAS MOVIES LIKE A MONTH AGO. IT'S ALL MY FAVORITE. I WAS WATCHING IT IN THE SUMMER TIME. I'M NOT GONNA LIE. SO I'M GLAD THAT EVERYONE WHEN THEY COME UP HERE, THEY REMIND ME OF WHERE I'VE BEEN BECAUSE I HAVEN'T KNOWN LIKE WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK. IT IS FOR PROBABLY, LIKE SIX WEEKS. BUT I DO KNOW IT'S TUESDAY. I KNOW I'M IN A BOARD MEETING. SO THAT'S GOOD. UM I DID ATTEND THE STATE OF THE CITY WITH DR ERNEST AND TODD AND DR STEIN OR I'M SORRY, MR STAIN. UM AND SO WE HAD A GOOD TIME. WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE AT OUR TABLE. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY. IT WAS THIS DAY OF THE CITY FOR YOUR BELINDA'S. SO IS JEAN HERNANDEZ, WHO GAVE THE INDICATION TONIGHT WHICH WE REALLY APPRECIATE HIM BEING HERE. HE DID A GREAT JOB AND YOU KNOW, IT'S FAMOUS OR INFAMOUS MUSTACHE. I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF THE THEME. SO EVERYTHING HAD THIS MUSTACHE LIKE LITTLE STICKS, YOU KNOW, AND ALL THE THINGS IS VERY GENE. UM I WAS ABLE TO. THEN THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION. BLACK SCHOOL EDUCATORS. I WANT DR GATE. WE WERE THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THAT CONFERENCE, WHICH IS ALWAYS VERY GOOD AND INFORMATIVE , AND YOU MAKE A LOT OF FRIENDS AND ARE ABLE TO HAVE A LOT OF GOOD DISCUSSIONS WITH PEOPLE. UM

[02:50:05]

AND SO I DID DO, UM, KIND OF SOME DIGGING AROUND. UM AND IT'S CLEAR NOW THAT ARE ON OUR SYSTEM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NOT THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD. IT APPEARS THAT TOUGH FREE AND B Y M S OR HAVE THEY HAVE HONORS ACROSS THE BOARD AT THEIR SCHOOLS. BUT PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT YOUR BILL IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THEY HAVE HONORS, UM, ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ARTS AND HISTORY, BUT THERE'S NO HONORS IN SCIENCE AND TRAVIS FRENCH MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS LANGUAGE ARTS HONORS AND MIXED LEVELS IN ONE CLASSROOM OF SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO US IN HISTORY. UM AND SO AFTER READING THE CHARTER PARTITION FOR BERNARDO AGAIN. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE CHARTER OFFERS AN HONOR PROGRAM THAT STUDENTS CAN EARN HONORS, CREDIT AND CORE COURSES. AND SO I KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THINGS, AND I KNOW IT'S KIND OF JUST IT'S JUST DIFFERENT WITH A DIFFERENT PROCESS, BUT I THINK BECAUSE OUR DISTRICT IS DOING STUFF DIFFERENTLY. ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND THERE'S JUST ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. I'VE JUST KIND OF TOLD THE PARENTS, YOU KNOW, UM IF THIS CHARTER IS APPROVED, AND THIS IS , YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO. THIS IS A NEW AND IT'S AN INNOVATIVE WAY OF AND IT MIGHT BE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. AND SO YOU KNOW, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE IT THE CHANCE. BECAUSE I WAS A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED THAT OUR HONORS CLASSES AREN'T THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD AT ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT THERE'S NOT THE SAME OPPORTUNITY, SO MAYBE WE COULD JUST LOOK AT THIS. THIS.

THIS IS JUST A NEW AND INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITY THAT MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER SCHOOLS. UM I ALSO HAVE BEEN TALKING TO SOME PARENTS WHO HAVE ASKED THAT WE CONSIDER HAVING A PARENTAL NOTIFICATION, UM, SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. AND SO THAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME. UM AND I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SUPERINTENDENT. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING POSSIBLY UM, TO BE CONSIDERED. BECAUSE I THINK PARENTS MAYBE WANT TO HAVE . I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW IF IT WOULD BE A NOTIFICATION PARENTAL NOTIFICATION, BUT MAYBE JUST PARENTAL PARENTS WHO ARE CONCERNED. AH YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THINGS ARE GOING ON THE CLASSROOM. UM BUT THAT WAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF AN ASK. AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO BRING UP TO YOU TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO. UM AND THEN ANOTHER THING. THE LAST THING I WAS GOING TO HIT ON BEEN ASKED BY SOME FAMILIES AND, UM, SOME PEOPLE THE COMMUNITY IF WE WANTED IF WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT THE FLAG POLICIES THAT SOME OF THE OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND US HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTING AND, UM YOU KNOW, MY RESPONSE HAS BEEN. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE NECESSARILY NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT US AS A DISTRICT WE NEED TO START, UM OVER THE LAST WEEK OR TWO. I WOULD SAY THAT THE AREA OF VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION HAS COME ACROSS. AND UM, WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING IS THAT IF THERE IS A CERTAIN FLAG HANGING IN THE CLASSROOM THEN IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT PERSON TO ALSO HAVE THE OTHER FLAG HANGING

[02:55:03]
