AS A PROUD GRADUATE OF THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND A CURRENT PARENT, AND SO I AM JUST SO EAGER TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND GET TO KNOW THEIR FAMILIES AT WOODSBORO AND TO WORK ALONGSIDE THE TEAM AND LEARN ALONGSIDE THEM. AND I THINK ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS ABOUT JOINING THE WOODSBORO TEAM IS THAT THE GREAT MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ATTEND BERNARDO YORBA, OUR FUTURE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, OR KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THOSE ARE THE TWO SCHOOLS THAT I HAVE SPENT MY TIME HERE AS A TEACHER AND EDUCATOR, AND I WANT TO CLOSE JUST WITH THANKING MY INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS I JOIN THE HIVE. SO THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE NEXT PRINCIPAL OF EL CAMINO REAL HIGH SCHOOL, GINA AGUILAR.

EL CAMINO IS A SCHOOL BASED ON SECOND CHANCES, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO WORK WITH STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THE RESILIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE NECESSARY TO OVERCOME THE BARRIERS THEY FACE IN THEIR LIVES. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ALONGSIDE THE OUTSTANDING STAFF AT THE SCHOOL TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS CAN THRIVE ACADEMICALLY, SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, AND I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES, DOCTOR VANESSA LANDIS. FIND DOCTOR LANDIS FINE HAS

[00:30:06]

AS CENTINELA SHRINKS, WE CAN STEAL PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO, SO, WE'RE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL EXPERIENCE. S, WITH A STUDENT POPULATION THAT HAS A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO MANY OF OUR KIDS, AND SO WELCOME TO OUR DISTRICT. I KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS WE ALL DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT BLADES. TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT, DOCTOR CHERNISS AND EXECUTIVE CABINET. I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE AND EXCITED TO JOIN THE TEAM AT PLACENTIA-YORBA. LINDA AND TO WORK WITH RENEE AND THE REST OF THE STUDENT SERVICES TEAM, AS DOCTOR TURNER SAID, I RECENTLY HAVE BEEN THE DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES IN CENTINELA VALLEY. I'M VERY EXCITED TO COME HERE AND CONTINUE THAT WORK, AND WORK WITH THE FULL GRADE SPAN FROM, FROM, PRE-K TO HIGH SCHOOL. I'M BRINGING WITH ME THE EXPERIENCES THAT I'VE HAD IN MANY DISTRICTS. AND AS A DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR AND A STRONG COMMITMENT TO THE SUCCESS OF ALL STUDENTS. MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO SEE THAT EVERY STUDENT LEAVES HIGH SCHOOL WITH A PLAN FOR WHAT'S NEXT AND THE SKILLS TO IMPLEMENT IT. AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND STARTING TO WORK HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. ALL RIGHT, HE'S GOING TO CONTINUE ON WITH HIS, REPORT.

BUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY WITH FAMILIES WHO'D LIKE TO LEAVE, FEEL FREE TO DO SO NOW. IT'S OKAY. NOW IS THE TIME. YEAH. HE'S WALKING. ATTENTION. TO. OKAY.

OKAY. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO REVIEW, SOME OF OUR SUCCESSES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS YEAR, AS WE WRAP UP A FABULOUS SCHOOL YEAR, AND SO, COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED WITH, SO MANY THINGS WE'VE DONE. AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE, WHERE WE ARE AND HOW FAR WE'VE COME AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WE TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING, IN THE FUTURE, SO THE FIRST THING WE DID IS, WE'VE OPENED, PRESCHOOLS. AND SO TWO NEW ONES THIS YEAR BOTH FILLED UP ALMOST RIGHT AWAY, THREE MORE PRESCHOOLS OPENING NEXT YEAR. AND WE ANTICIPATE, SIMILAR, RESULTS. NOW, LET ME JUST BACK UP AND SAY THAT THE LIFEBLOOD OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS OUR ENROLLMENT. AND WE HAVE BEEN AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE'VE BEEN DROPPING ENROLLMENT ABOUT 400 STUDENTS EVERY YEAR. AND SO THAT IS HUGE, FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR DISTRICT. AND WHAT IS THE HEALTH MEANS? IT MEANS OFFERING PROGRAMS FOR KIDS, KEEPING SCHOOLS OPEN, KEEPING TEACHERS AND STAFF EMPLOYED, ALL THAT IS DEPENDENT ON ENROLLMENT. AND AS WE SHRINK ENROLLMENT, WE HAVE TO LET GO OF PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TO LET GO OF PROGRAMS. AND IT ULTIMATELY IMPACTS KIDS. MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA ARE IN DECLINE. WE ARE NOT. AND SO THIS YEAR, WE TURNED AROUND A TREND. OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE BEEN LOSING UPWARDS OF 400 STUDENTS EVERY YEAR. THIS YEAR, THAT TREND HAS TURNED AROUND. CURRENTLY, YES. WE ARE OVER 400 MORE STUDENTS THIS YEAR TO DATE

[00:35:05]

AND ONE OF THE THINGS IN OUR BUDGET WHICH, MR. STEIN WILL GET TO IS THIS PROJECTED DECLINE.

AND SO WHAT THE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME, FOR US. AND IT MEANS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF MORE DOLLARS FOR OUR KIDS, UPWARDS OF 8 TO $10 MILLION A YEAR, IF THESE TRENDS CONTINUE.

SO THIS IS HUGE AND THIS IS SOMETHING EVERYBODY SHOULD GET BEHIND AND APPRECIATE, WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE DONE ALL KINDS OF WAYS TO INCREASE COMMUNICATION, NOT JUST THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S ROUNDTABLES. WE HAD THE FIRST EVER STATE OF THE DISTRICT EVENT, THIS YEAR. SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR NEXT ONE, BECAUSE WE THE LAST EVENT WE JUST INVITED KIND OF CITY FOLKS AND MANAGEMENT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THIS ONE UP TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS IN SEPTEMBER. DO WE HAVE A DATE? 17TH. SEPTEMBER 17TH, PAC STATE OF THE DISTRICT EVENT 2024. SO PLEASE MARK THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR, OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM, WE GO TO ROTARY WEEKLY, WE GO TO OUR. WE'VE DONE A LOT FOR REACH FOUNDATION TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR SCHOOL FOUNDATION, LOOKING AT MORE INNOVATIVE WAYS TO RAISE MONEY FOR OUR FOR OUR SCHOOLS, ENGAGING WITH OUR PTA PARTNERS, OUR MONDAY MESSAGES HAVE BEEN A REAL SUCCESS. 40,000 PEOPLE ARE OPENING THESE THESE, MESSAGES WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE'RE SENDING OUT, PREVIEWS OF BOARD MEETINGS. WE'RE DOING ALL KINDS OF THINGS. SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEES. WE HAD HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS TAKE PART IN HIGH SCHOOL PARENT COMMUNITY, SPECIAL EDUCATION, PARENT, MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENT, ELEMENTARY PARENT, SO ALL SORTS OF WAYS TO IMPROVE HOW WE'RE COMMUNICATING, WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT. THE OTHER PIECE THAT, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S ON HERE IS WE MOVED OUR AGENDAS TO ONLINE AGENDA. SO PRIOR TO, LAST YEAR, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYTHING ONLINE ON ON FORMER MEETINGS. AND IF YOU GO BACK, IT'S VERY HARD. NOW EVERYTHING'S VERY ACCESSIBLE AND ATTACHED TO THE ONLINE AGENDAS, SO WE WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT AS WELL, SRO SO WE HAVE NEGOTIATED A CONTRACT WITH ANAHEIM POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER FOR ESPERANZA, WHICH IS A HUGE THING. WE WILL NOW HAVE FULL TIME SROS AT ALL OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS, AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T HAD IN A LONG TIME. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL BE VERY PROUD OF, AND, IT'S I THANK MY STAFF. I THINK THE, THE, THE ADMINISTRATION AT, AT ANAHEIM PD , IS IT SERGEANT CONKLIN OR BOB CONKLIN FOR HIS, PARTNERSHIP, IT'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY THAT WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF. AND NOW OUR SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE SAFER BECAUSE OF IT. ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL, COMPUTER SCIENCE. OUR PEOPLE ARE HERE. WE DID IT. WE ARE GOING TO BE OPENING THE SCHOOL IN THE FALL. AND THESE KIDS THAT ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS SCHOOL ARE GOING TO COME OUT WITH SKILLS FOR, FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. AND SO I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT COMPUTER SCIENCE IS THE ONE INDUSTRY THAT OUR COUNTRY CANNOT EMPLOY ENOUGH GRADUATES. AND SO WE ARE ADDRESSING THAT. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THE STATE AND IN THE COUNTRY IN GETTING KIDS READY. SO WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS WHETHER THEY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE OR NOT WILL THEY'LL BE UP TO THEM, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH PAYING, HIGH SKILLED JOBS COMING OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS.

SO COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED FOR DOCTOR FISHER. HER LEADERSHIP. THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT YOU, I'VE SEEN A GLIMPSE OF OUR INNOVATION LABS AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN THE PROGRAMING KIDS ARE GOING TO BE DOING IN THERE. I, I JUST I'M SO EXCITED, AND, AND, THE WHOLE TEAM, EVERYBODY FROM THE COMPUTER SCIENCE SCHOOL, PLEASE STAND.

ANOTHER EXCITING PROGRAM THAT OUR FUTURE OLYMPIAN ALLUDED TO WAS THE UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE, WE OPENED APPLICATIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. WE HAVE OVER 110 APPLICANTS ALREADY, ABOUT 80% OF THE KIDS ARE FROM OUR DISTRICT. 20% ARE OUTSIDE OUR DISTRICT.

WE'RE OFFERING, A NEW INNOVATIVE PATHWAY FOR KIDS, THAT WANT TO CONTINUE THROUGH PARKVIEW DOING

[00:40:04]

WE HAVE TO DATE THREE STUDENTS. ONE IS AN INSTRUCTIONAL AIDE, ONE IS WORKING IN FOOD SERVICE, ONE IS MAYBE ANOTHER LOCATION, I KNOW PRINT SHOP. WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND SO WE WANT THESE NOW YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS. IT'S NOT JUST GOOD FOR THEM. IT'S GOOD FOR ALL OF OUR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO SEE STUDENTS AROUND THEM THAT MAY ACT DIFFERENT, LOOK DIFFERENT, BUT ARE STILL STUDENTS, THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO, IS AMAZING. SO TYPICAL PEERS, ALL KIDS SUCCEEDING, THIS IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM. I HOPE WE HIRE MORE AND MORE OF THESE FOLKS. AFTER SCHOOL INTERVENTION. AND SO THIS YEAR WE HELPED OVER 4000 STUDENTS REACH GRADE LEVEL PROFICIENCY, NC FIVE FOUR WEEK INTERVENTION CYCLES, 200 DEDICATED TEACHERS, 8670 HOURS

[00:45:06]

INCREASED EFFORTS. SO I'VE HEARD EVERYBODY'S LEAVING. EVERYBODY'S LEAVING. WELL THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE. WE HAVE OVER 300 TEACHER APPLICATIONS RIGHT NOW TO COME HERE AND TEACH HERE, SO PUTTING THAT KIND OF INFORMATION OUT THERE IS ALSO VERY UNFORTUNATE. WE DEVELOPED A FENTANYL AWARENESS PROGRAM, I'VE SEEN SOME PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GREAT. AND SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT. BUT THE REALITY IS THIS STARTED THIS YEAR BECAUSE I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH LEANDRA ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT, OUR KIDS AND EDUCATE THEM ON THIS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS ISSUE WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOLS. AND SO THIS YEAR, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE PARTNERED WITH, THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND PLACENTIA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE HAD EDUCATION ASSEMBLIES FOR ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF FENTANYL. AND WE ALSO INCREASE NARCAN SUPPLIES AT ALL OUR SITES. SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. AND, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU YOU WON'T KNOW YOU'RE REALLY HELPING, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST HOPING YOU DON'T HAVE ACCIDENTS, RIGHT. SO IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY THE BENEFITS, BUT WE ALL KNOW THE BENEFITS. AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT, MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS. SO THIS YEAR, WE ALWAYS HAD A MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAM. IT WAS A TRACK PROGRAM. THIS YEAR WE EXPANDED IT TO FIVE SPORTS. THOUSANDS OF KIDS PARTICIPATING IN COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER, THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO. AND IT IS JUST AMAZING, THE, THE NUMBER OF KIDS TALKING TO PARENTS ABOUT SPORTS, THEY, THEY THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER EVEN GET INVOLVED IN. AND HERE THEY ARE NOW, WANTING TO BE A WRESTLER OR WANTING TO RUN CROSS COUNTRY, AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THIS PROGRAM THAT WE PUT IN PLACE THIS YEAR, FREE FOR KIDS AFTER SCHOOL, ALSO FREE FOR KIDS, OUTDOOR SCIENCE SCHOOL.

AND SO WE OFFER THIS TO ANY FAMILY THAT NEEDED SUPPORT, AND WE MADE SURE EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SENT THEIR KIDS TO OUTSOURCE SCIENCE SCHOOL. AND PRIOR TO THIS YEAR, ONLY ABOUT HALF WERE EVEN SENDING KIDS TO THESE PROGRAMS. THAT'S AN EQUITY ISSUE. AND SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT EQUITY. THAT'S EQUITY ISSUE. AND SO HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT? WELL WELL, WE FIX IT AND WE FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID THIS YEAR. EVERY SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT NOW HAS AN OUTDOOR SCIENCE SCHOOL. THERE ARE SOME THINGS ON THAT AREN'T ON HERE THAT I WANT TO SPEAK TO AS WELL. ONE IS OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NIXON LIBRARY. WE HAVE A NEW CIVICS EDUCATION COURSE WITH THE NIXON LIBRARY THAT WILL BE WRITING NEXT YEAR, OUR STUDENTS, THIS WILL BE AN HONOR CIVICS COURSE. OUR STUDENTS, WE'RE GOING TO PILOT IT AT YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL. OUR STUDENTS WILL BE TRAVELING TO THE NIXON LIBRARY ONCE A WEEK TO GET CIVICS EDUCATION, AND THE NIXON LIBRARY JUST APPROVED THE COURSE FRAMEWORK. AND SO IT'LL BE WRITTEN THIS YEAR. IT WILL BE ROLLED OUT IN, FALL OF 25, 26, AND IT'S A VERY EXCITING PROGRAM, WE ALSO PASSED A PARENTAL NOTIFICATION POLICY THIS YEAR. IF THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AT SCHOOL, PARENTS NEED

[00:50:05]

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE IN JUST THIS SHORT ONE YEAR. AND SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR ENTIRE TEAM.

AND ARE JUST THANKFUL FOR, ALL THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE DOING FOR STUDENTS AND THAT WE'RE

[15. PUBLIC COMMENT]

AND SO OUR FIRST FOUR SPEAKERS ARE ED GUN, SUE SAWYER, JUDY DESJARDINS AND KAREN ALEKSIC.

GET RID OF THAT SIGN. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ED GUN, AND I AM A 47 YEAR RESIDENT OF YORBA LINDA. I ATTENDED MAPLE PAIN MYSELF, YORBA LINDA JUNIOR HIGH AND ALSO WAS BUSED TO TROY HIGH SCHOOL IN FULLERTON. AT THE TIME. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT TEACHERS ARE GOOD AND THE UNION IS BAD. VERY, VERY BAD. TERRIBLE. UNION CHURNS. CHERNISS, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS SO GOOD THAT HE SHOULD BE GOVERNOR. ABSOLUTELY. I DID WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE AN UPDATE, ON MARYLAND, ANDERSON. SHE WAS SEEKING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSEMENT LAST NIGHT, BUT WITH A TRACK RECORD LIKE HERS SUCKING UP TO KAREN FREEMAN AND THE UNION BY MAKING HER PRESIDENT THE FIRST YEAR THAT SHE WAS ON THE BOARD. AND THEN IN THE SECOND YEAR, SUCKING UP TO BUCK AND THE UNION TO MAKE HER THE PRESIDENT, WHERE, OF COURSE, CARRIE BUCK FELT LIKE SHE WAS, DICTATOR LIKE STALIN OR SOMETHING THAT COULD UNILATERALLY END MEETINGS WITHOUT WITHOUT A VOTE FOR ADJOURNMENT. MARILYN EVEN HAD. CAN YOU PAUSE THE CLOCK, PLEASE? THERE SHOULD BE SOME CIVILITY HERE WHEN EXCUSE ME LIKE THAT. HOW AM I NOT CIVIL? EXCUSE ME.

I'M. I'M STATING FACTS. PER OUR ATTORNEY. PER OUR ATTORNEY, HE CAN SPEAK ABOUT BOARD MEMBERS.

HE CAN SPEAK ABOUT THE UNION. HE CAN SPEAK ABOUT TEACHERS. HE CAN SPEAK ABOUT ALL THIS. EXCUSE ME.

OKAY. IN THE PAST, TO CALL PEOPLE INSURRECTIONISTS, IT'S A CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST. IT'S BEEN OKAY. IF YOU'RE CALLING OUT FROM THE AUDIENCE, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. STALIN. LET'S HAVE THE GUY IN THE CORNER LEAVE. CAN WE ESCORT HIM OUT, PLEASE? OFFICER WE'LL WAIT. AWESOME BOY. NOTHING SAYS FREE SPEECH LIKE, ESCORTING A GUY AWAY FOR YELLING AT YOU. OKAY, I WILL GET SOMEBODY ELSE HERE AND. WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? WE'RE DISTURBING ME. YOU'RE GIVING ME.

THANK YOU. YEAH. TIME'S UP. THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO INTERRUPT. SHE EVEN HAD A TERRIBLE CITY

[00:55:19]

SUE SAWYER. MY NAME IS SUE SAWYER. I'M A TEACHER AT ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL. THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS A TIME FOR CELEBRATION, REFLECTION, AND REST. HOWEVER, THIS BOARD'S MAJORITY AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S ACTIONS FORCE ATTENTION, INVESTIGATION AND ACTION. THERE IS SPECULATION IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE LOSS OF ADMINISTRATORS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. THE PILL EDUCATION COMMUNITY HAS LOST GOOD PEOPLE, INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND A SENSE OF TRUST AND CONFIDENCE. THEN TONIGHT, ACTION ITEM 18 ONE TO APPROVE AMENDMENT ONE TO ALEX'S EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. A SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION BEFORE ANY CONTRACT CHANGE BENEFITS OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY BY PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY.

THIS PROCESS IS KEY TO BUILDING A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SUPERINTENDENT, THE BOARD AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS. IT ENSURES THAT WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET THE DISTRICT'S GOALS AND VALUES. HAS AN EVALUATION BEEN DONE? HOW WILL THIS BOARD GUARANTEE TRANSPARENCY AND DECISION MAKING? WILL THE BOARD PROVIDE CLEAR EXPLANATIONS AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR DECISIONS AFFECTING BUDGETS, STAFFING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS? THE COMMUNITY DESERVES THE TRUTH. I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS PROVERB 11 ONE 2010. AN HONEST PERSON WILL BE TRUTHFUL IN ALL THEIR BUSINESS DEALINGS, AND JOHN 832 AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.

THANK YOU. JUDY JUDY. GOOD EVENING. I'M JUDY DESJARDIN, AND ACTUALLY DOCTOR CHERNUS. I MADE A COPY OF ALL YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND I WAS GOING TO READ THEM. BUT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT, MY GRANDDAUGHTER BENEFITED TREMENDOUSLY FROM THE AFTER-SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL, MATH PROGRAM, AND I'M, VERY, JUST VERY THANKFUL AND I WANT TO GIVE A PRAISE TO, THE DOCTOR CHERNISS HIS STAFF EVERY, TEACHER THAT HELPED, THAT HELPED, GET ALL THESE NEW PROGRAMS. IT'S JUST REALLY AMAZING. AND YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB. JOB, SO I GUESS I, I DON'T HAVE ANY, BUT I WOULD LIKE, TO ADDRESS PERHAPS RUMORS AND PARENTS AND ANYONE HERE TONIGHT WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING THAT IS NEGATIVE, PLEASE GO TO DOCTOR CHERNUS LIKE HE SAID BEFORE AND GET THE FACTS. NO, IT'S NOT FUNNY. AND DO NOT LAUGH . THANK YOU. AND I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEW PRINCIPALS AND THE ONES THAT WERE PROMOTED, I'M ALREADY MET THE NEW ONE TONIGHT, BECAUSE I'M VERY INVOLVED WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTERS AND THEIR EDUCATION. SO I WANT TO JUST THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. KAREN ALEXIX. HI. MY NAME IS KAREN ALEKSIC, AND THE ELOQUENT WORDS OF TAYLOR SWIFT. LONG LIVE ALL THE MAGIC WE MADE, THE MAGIC MADE FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN OUR STATE STARTED WHEN THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WAS FOUNDED IN 1863.

LET US REMINISCE ON THE MAGIC THAT THE TEACHERS AND THE UNIONS CREATE EVERY DAY IN OUR SCHOOLS, FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS CAN FLOURISH AND THRIVE . JUST LIKE IN TAYLOR'S SONG

[01:00:01]

AND I'M NOT SURE IF ANDREW WAS REMOVED. OH, OKAY. THANK YOU . MY NAME IS SAM MAROVICH. I'M A RETIRED PILOT AND EDUCATOR, AND I AM SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 1955. WE KNOW THAT LGBTQIA IDENTITIES AND BEHAVIORS PERMEATE THE ORDER OF NATURE AND ARE THEREBY PART OF HUMAN NATURE. WE KNOW THAT VARIANTS OF SOME WORLD RELIGIONS REJECT THE NOTION THAT LGBTQIA INDIVIDUALS ARE PART OF THE NATURAL ORDER. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PARENTS WHO, FOR RELIGIOUS OR OTHER REASONS, ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT OR EVEN LOVE A CHILD WHO IDENTIFIES OR BEHAVES AS TRANSGENDER OR NON-BINARY. WE KNOW THAT MANY TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY YOUTH FEEL THEIR HOMES ARE NOT GENDER AFFIRMING, AND THAT FORCED OUTING POLICIES OPERATING UNDER THE GUISE OF PARENTAL NOTIFICATION INCREASE TEEN SUICIDES. WE KNOW THAT COUNSELORS IN THE PYLUSD MAY HAVE TO MAKE EXCRUCIATINGLY DIFFICULT DECISIONS ABOUT WHEN AND HOW TO BREAK THE BOND OF TRUST AND CONFIDENCE PLACED IN THEM BY STUDENTS WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO BRING PARENTS INTO A CONVERSATION ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. WE KNOW THAT DISHONEST POLITICIANS PROMOTE THE LIE THAT THERE IS A LIBERAL CONSPIRACY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, ENCOURAGING YOUNG PEOPLE TO QUESTION THEIR GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. WE KNOW THAT THIS APPEAL TO IGNORANCE, FEAR, ANGER AND HATRED CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE POLITICAL TACTIC.

ASSEMBLY BILL 1955 WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR MALICIOUS SCHOOL BOARDS TO PLAY POLITICAL GAMES WITH THE LIVES OF NONCONFORMITY OF YOUTH. IT DESERVES THE FULL SUPPORT OF PEOPLE OF CONSCIENCE. STEVE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STEVE SAFKA AND I'M A 46 YEAR RESIDENT OF THIS DISTRICT. DOCTOR CHERNISS TO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ACTION PACKED YEAR WOULD BE A MINOR UNDERSTATEMENT, I WOULD GUESS. BUT YOUR END OF YEAR DISSERTATION WAS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN THE ACTIVITY OF GOING ON AND DOING ALL OF THESE THINGS, A LOT OF TIMES WE DON'T REALLY GET THE IMPACT OF ALL THAT'S BEEN ACCOMPLISHED UNTIL IT'S ALL STOPPED AND WE LOOK AT IT IN ITS ENTIRETY. IT'S AMAZING WHAT'S BEEN ACCOMPLISHED HERE THIS YEAR. I'M NOT GOING TO BE REDUNDANT AND GO THROUGH ALL OF IT AGAIN, BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THE TWO CROWN JEWELS, OCS AND UC. I'M I'M AMAZED AT THESE THINGS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THEM IN ACTION NEXT YEAR. TO YOU MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MRS. BLADES, MR. FRAZIER, MR. YOUNGBLOOD, WHO HAVE STEADFASTLY SUPPORTED SUPERINTEND AND THESE PROGRAMS, INCURRING THE SLINGS AND ARROWS, OFTEN FROM ANONYMOUS SOURCES. KUDOS TO YOU. THANK YOU FOR STANDING SO STEADFASTLY TO THOSE OF YOU MEMBERS WHO CHOSE TO GET IN THE WAY AND DO ALL YOU COULD TO BLOCK THESE STUDENT FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SHAME ON YOU. YOU NOW BEAR PUN INTENDED, THE BURDEN OF TRYING TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO A COMMUNITY THAT IS OBVIOUSLY OVERWHELMINGLY IN SUPPORT OF THEM. IT IS GREAT TO SEE THIS DISTRICT VIVIDLY SHOWING AGAIN WHAT A TOP NOTCH QUALITY EDUCATION SYSTEM COULD LOOK LIKE. I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOUR SUMMER SHORT, BUT I CAN'T

[01:05:06]

THEY TAKE THIS ON AND CONTINUE TO MAKE IT WORK BECAUSE OF THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR STUDENTS, BUT IT GREATLY IMPACTS THEIR FAMILIES. WE ADVOCATE FOR REDUCTION IN EXCESSIVE TESTING OF STUDENTS SO THAT TEACHERS CAN MAXIMIZE THEIR TIME FOR STUDENT INSTRUCTION. EXCESSIVE TESTING REDUCES TIME FOR EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION AND CAUSES TESTING. BURNOUT IN STUDENTS. WE ADVOCATE FOR PROGRAMS AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR OUR TEACHERS, MARTIN LUTHER KING SAID. OUR LIVES BEGIN TO END WHEN WE REMAIN SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER. THESE THINGS MATTER AND WE WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DAVE PETERSON, PAULA POWERS, MISTY JANSEN, AND DEE LAWRENCE RADLER. DAVE, I BELIEVE YOU'RE FIRST. YOU GOT MY HEARING AIDS ON. BUT WITH THE LAUGHTER, I COULDN'T HEAR. IT MIGHT BE MY MIC. I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT ON. GOTCHA. YEAH. IT'S LOW. CAN YOU. CAN WE TURN IT UP? WE'RE GOOD. OKAY MY FIRST ITEM IS NUMBER 18.1 WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT FOR OUR SUPERINTENDENT. THE IDEA IS IT'S A FOUR YEAR EXTENSION. AND MY THOUGHT ON THE MATTER IS THAT PERHAPS A MOTION COULD COME FROM THE BOARD, TO MODIFY THAT TO A TWO YEAR EXTENSION, WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING AN ELECTION, AND THINGS COULD CHANGE. AND THAT WOULD GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEW BOARD TO, YOU KNOW, SEE HOW THAT FITS A FIT. AND IF IT'S NOT, THEN THEN THERE'S ONLY LIKE A, YOU KNOW, A SHORT TIME PERIOD IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE CONTRACT IS FOR FOUR YEARS, THEN THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL RECEIVE HIS PAY FOR FOUR YEARS AT $400,000 A YEAR, WHICH YOU KNOW, WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1.2 MILLION THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE IN THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET. SO SOMETHING FOR CONSIDERATION. I'M A FINANCIAL CONSERVATIVE AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO WORK. HE WAS. DOCTOR TURNER HAS BEEN HERE FOR THE YEAR, GO TO A ONE YEAR EXTENSION, I MEAN A TWO YEAR DESIGN AND THEN A FOUR YEAR AFTER THAT, THE SECOND PART IS I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GROW OUR DISTRICT. WE NEED TO HAVE BABIES . IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE, PLACENTIA AND YORBA LINDA NEED MORE BABIES. AND THE CITY HAS A REQUIREMENT OF ADDING MORE HOUSING UNITS WITHIN IT. AND I THINK PLACENTIA IS ALREADY WORKING ON THAT, TOO. I THINK A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY TO BECOME A FAMILY FRIENDLY, AREA WOULD HELP TO BRING THE NEW PEOPLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. PAUL POWERS. SORRY, I'M OUT ON THAT ONE. I CAN'T HELP HAVING MORE BABIES. MY HUSBAND AND I WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE TO THE STAFF AT YORBA LINDA MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR TAKING GREAT CARE OF OUR SON. THANK YOU, MR. KIM, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE KIDS IN YOUR CARE. WE'RE SO SAD TO HEAR THAT YOU WILL BE LEAVING Y Y LMS BECAUSE WE LOVED YOUR ENERGY AND WITNESSED YOU PUTTING KIDS FIRST EVERY DAY. YOU ARE RESPECTED BY NOT ONLY THE BOBCATS ON CAMPUS, BUT BY NUMEROUS TEACHERS ON STAFF AND COUNTLESS PARENTS AT HOME. WE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST ON YOUR NEW ENDEAVOR AND HOPE YOU KEEP IN TOUCH SO WE CAN MEET YOUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY THAT'S COMING THIS SUMMER. MY HUSBAND AND I ALSO WANT TO EXTEND A THANK YOU TO MR. LEWIS FOR BEING AN AMAZING TEACHER AND ROLE MODEL. OUR SON LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT HISTORY, AND WE HOPE OUR DISTRICT WILL BE ABLE TO FIND A PLACE FOR YOU. WE WERE HEARTBROKEN TO HEAR THAT MR.

[01:10:04]

THEY TEACH. GREAT TEACHERS ARE 1 IN 1,000,000 AND PILL HAS THE BEST. OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH COMMITTED EDUCATORS WHO HAVE GONE THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE SURE THEY SUCCEED. THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT POURED YOUR HEARTS INTO OUR SON AND DAUGHTER. WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BLADES, BOARD TRUSTEES, DOCTOR CHERNISS AND EXECUTIVE MEMBERS. I'M MISTY JANSEN, AND I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY DEEP CONCERN REGARDING THE MISMANAGEMENT OF PERSONNEL AND THE FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY DISPLAYED BY THE BOARD MAJORITY AS OF LATE, AS A CONCERNED MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT SUCH IRRESPONSIBILITY IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST WITHOUT RECOURSE. IT UNDERMINES THE INTEGRITY OF OUR DISTRICT, AND IT CASTS DOUBT ON YOUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR SCHOOLS ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILIES IN THIS DISTRICT, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO BE WISE ENOUGH TO SEEK COUNSEL WHEN YOU'VE MADE DECISIONS OUTSIDE OF YOUR SCOPE AND THAT ARE NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENTS AND OUR DISTRICT. PLEASE PAUSE TO RECALIBRATE AND ENSURE THAT YOUR MISSION IS ALIGNED WITH THOSE YOU'VE PROMISED TO SERVE, EXCEPT MAYBE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, WHO HAVE YOU PROMISED TO SERVE? I'LL SAVE THE TOILET PAPERING ADVICE FOR ANOTHER DAY AND INSTEAD CONCLUDE WITH THIS. WE WANT YOU TO CHOOSE PARENTS OVER POLITICS AND TO CHOOSE OUR KIDS OVER YOUR FUTURE POLITICAL CAREERS. THANK YOU. DAVE RADLAUER. SO THE TRAINING LAB IS INELIGIBLE TO DO BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE A VENDOR SAYS IT'S AN ACCOUNTING ERROR, AND THE PRESIDENT OF THIS BODY ACCEPTS THAT EXPLANATION AND CONSIDERS THIS ISSUE CLEARED UP.

IN ADDITION, THE USC MUST BE EXEMPT FROM DSA APPROVAL BECAUSE THERE IS A MYSTERIOUS EMAIL FROM AN UNNAMED THIRD PARTY THAT SAYS SO. IS THAT THE LEVEL OF DUE DILIGENCE THE MAJORITY OF THIS BOARD THINKS IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT ELECTED THEM? IT WAS REPRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC IN THE MAIN BOARD MEETING THAT THE FTB ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED IN NO MORE THAN TWO WEEKS. IT'S BEEN ABOUT SIX AND THE TRAINING LAB STATUS REMAINS UNCHANGED. HAS IT EVEN OCCURRED TO THE MAJORITY TO ASK FOR MORE DETAILS REGARDING WHY THEY ARE INELIGIBLE STATUS, AND APPARENTLY HAVE BEEN SO SINCE 2018? I'M SORRY, BUT A VENDOR STATING THAT IT'S A SIX YEAR ACCOUNTING ERROR DEFIES CREDULITY. HOW ABOUT THEIR IRS STATUS? IS THERE ANY CONCERN THAT CUTTING A FULL CHECK TO THIS GROUP, WHILE THE STATUS IS UNCERTAIN, MAY CAUSE OUR DISTRICT FUNDS TO BE LEVIED BY A STATE OR FEDERAL AGENCY, MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY HAVE RAISED COMPLIANCE ISSUES CONCERNING THE USC AND THE NEED FOR DSA APPROVAL. IF THIS MYSTERIOUS EMAIL REMAINS SHIELDED FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY, THE GASLIGHTING HAS GOT TO STOP THE WARNING SIGNS ARE THERE. THIS BOARD NEEDS TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND DO THE SORT OF DEEP DIVE THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO. PLEASE STOP IGNORING COMMUNITY CONCERNS. STOP BLINDLY SUPPORTING PROJECTS FRAUGHT WITH FISCAL PERIL. IF THIS PROJECT IS RIGHTEOUS AND THERE'S TRULY AN ACCOUNTING ERROR, WE MIGHT BACK IT. BUT AS IT STANDS, SHROUDED IN SECRECY, THIS VENTURE APPEARS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A VANITY PROJECT AND A POLITICAL BOONDOGGLE. THANK YOU. BRIAN KJERSGAARD BARB BARBOSA, ANDY FALCO, AND CATHY SATCHELL. BRIAN KIRKEGARD. BARB BARBOSA, ANDY FALCO AND CATHY SATCHELL. WHO WOULD YOU CALL FIRST? BRIAN I'M READING THESE REMARKS FROM SEVERAL EMPLOYEES OF THE DISTRICT DUE TO THEIR FEAR OF RETALIATION IN THIS HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT'S BEEN CREATED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE BOARD MAJORITY. IT'S IRONIC THAT COMMUNITY THAT THIS COMMUNITY BELIEVES THE MASS DEPARTURE OF PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP IN OUR DISTRICT IS PRIMARILY DUE TO ALLEGED POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF THE SO-CALLED MAJORITY BOARD MEMBERS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WE WOULD

[01:15:04]

GRANTED PRINCIPALS HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN TARGETED FOR THEIR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. AND YES, DISTRICT EVENTS HAVE BEEN TARGETED BECAUSE THEY WERE SOMEHOW PERCEIVED AS A THREAT TO YOUR POLITICAL ALLIES. NEVERTHELESS TO TRULY SEE THE PATTERN AND MOTIVATION, YOU HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND POLITICS AND IDEOLOGY. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE ELIMINATION OF PEOPLE WHO CHALLENGE YOUR UNETHICAL OR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. THOSE WHO REFUSE TO SIMPLY LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND PARROT YOUR VERSION OF THE TRUTH. LEADERS WHO DARE TO QUESTION YOUR ILLEGAL OR UNETHICAL PRACTICES ARE FORCED OUT, EITHER WITH THE THREAT OF LOSING THEIR JOB, BEING DEMOTED, EMBARRASSED, OR BY CREATING A HOUSE TO WORK ENVIRONMENT UNTIL THEY SEEMINGLY LEAVE ON THEIR OWN. BARB. HI THERE, I'M BARB AND I'M A TEACHER IN THE DISTRICT. FIRST, I WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO BRAD BC FITNESS. MY SON HAS GONE TO HIS PROGRAM GOOD PROGRAM, BUT I'M HERE. I'M HERE FOR A MORE SERIOUS REASON. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE SENIORS, THE CLASS OF 2020 FOR, ONE TRADITION, WE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS LOVE IS WHEN THE GRADUATING SENIORS COME BACK TO THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THIS YEAR, VISTA. WE HAD A HUGE TURNOUT. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE SENIORS WAS POLITE, JOYFUL , AND SO HAPPY TO BE BACK AT THEIR SCHOOLS, VISIT THEIR TEACHERS, AND TAKE PICTURES. EVERY SINGLE OF THOSE. ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS HAD A PLAN FOR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL THAT WAS JUST RIGHT FOR THEM. EACH ONE OF THESE AMAZING SENIORS IS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR OWN STRENGTH, THE STRENGTH OF THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE STRENGTH OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. SINCE 2011, OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS HAVE PARTNERED WITH THEIR PARENTS TO NURTURE THESE STUDENTS. WE HAVE LOVED THEM FROM DAY ONE. AS WE CELEBRATE THESE GRADUATES, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE DON'T BE NEGATIVE AND FIGHT ABOUT THINGS, BUT LET'S BE POSITIVE. LET'S WORK TOGETHER, HONOR THE PAST WHILE WE LOOK FOR THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU BARB. ANDY. I'M ALWAYS AMAZED THAT, PEOPLE GET UP HERE AND YOU CAN PUT A WHOLE LIST OF AMAZING THINGS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. THE TRUTH ON THE WHITEBOARD FOR THEM TO SEE. AND THEY COME UP HERE AND SAY WHAT LIES THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE DONE DISHONESTLY, AND HOW YOU'RE UNDERMINING THE RULE OF LAW IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I RESPECT YOU, DOCTOR ALEX CHERNISS. MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD, YOU HAVE BROUGHT MORE TRANSPARENCY TO THIS DISTRICT THAN I'VE EVER WITNESSED IN THE 20 YEARS THAT I'VE HAD KIDS HERE, BUT I LOVE IT WHEN ALSO THEY SAY THAT THE UNION IS AN AMAZING PLACE OF LOVING PEOPLE. BUT YET HERE I HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS FROM UNION MEMBERS LIKE, AND ADVOCATES LIKE PATRICIA HANSELL THAT SAYS A FEW SCHOOL BOARDS ARE ATTEMPTING TO WEAKEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH THEIR NONSENSE POLICIES, BOARD VOTES AND ACTIONS. WHITE COMFORT IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING USED TO JUSTIFY BOOK BANS, TEACHER GAG ORDERS AND THE BLOCKAGE CURRICULUM AND SCHOOL SITE PROGRAMS. OR MAYBE THIS ONE.

SADLY, THIS JUST DEMONSTRATES HOW UNEDUCATED AND ILLITERATE THE PRESIDENT OF PYLUSD SCHOOL BOARD, LEANDRA BLADES, IS. OF COURSE, THESE FLIERS, THE FLIERS THAT THEY ARE HANDING OUT ILLEGALLY TO PEOPLE'S HOMES, NOT KNOCKING ON DOORS, PUTTING QR CODES IS GOING TO EXPLODE, EXPLODE, EXPOSE. I'M SORRY, EXPOSE THE HORRIBLE IMPACT OF THE CURRENT BOARD MAJORITY AND IN PARTICULAR LEANDRA BLADES AND SUPERINTENDENT CHERNISS OR MAYBE THIS ONE, ASHLEY IBRAHIM SAYS, BECAUSE OUR SCHOOL BOARD IS CORRUPT AS ALL GET OUT. WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT. OR MAYBE WHEN YOUR KID TALKING ABOUT MY CHILDREN ARE MEDIOCRE, HAVE BAD GRADES AND BELIEVE IN JESUS, MAYBE THAT'LL PUT TIMES UP. ONE LAST ONE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEE TIME'S UP. IS THAT POLAR BEAR? SAYS ANDY FALCO. JIMENEZ WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP WITH HIS DAUGHTER. THAT IS THE SCHOOL UNION. THESE ARE THEIR WORDS. THEY ARE ALL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THANK YOU. PLEASE DO I GET TO FINISH MINE NOW? YES KATHY. SATCHEL. OKAY MY NAME IS KATHY SATCHEL. I'M A 49 YEAR RESIDENT OF YORBA LINDA WITH 32 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A TEACHER , EIGHT OF WHICH ARE IN THE PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR OUR DEFINITION IS AN UNPLEASANT EMOTION ON BELIEF THAT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IS DANGEROUS AND LIKELY TO CAUSE PAIN OR THREAT THAT WHEN I STARTED TEACHING HERE, A UNION MEMBER CAME AND SAID, OH, YOU'VE GOT TO JOIN THE UNION BECAUSE

[01:20:04]

SHAHANI. I'LL BE FIRST. HI, MY NAME IS SHANNON MURRAY. AT THE FEBRUARY BOARD MEETING DURING PUBLIC COMMENT, I SAID, QUOTE, I'M BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HIGH TURNOVER RATE WE'RE SEEING IN PILL UNQUOTE. AT THE TIME, I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT YET ANOTHER ADMINISTRATOR, SHELLEY SPESSARD, HAD LEFT, AND RUMORS WERE CIRCULATING ABOUT MY EL DORADO PRINCIPAL, JOEY DAVIS. LEANDRA BRUSHED ASIDE MY CONCERNS, SAYING PEOPLE HAD BEEN BAMBOOZLED BY MISINFORMATION AND FEAR MONGERING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YET HERE WE ARE IN JUNE AND IT SEEMS MY FEARS WERE QUITE VALID. FOUR OUT OF FIVE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE GONE, INCLUDING MR. DAVIS. I BELIEVE MORE THAN 20 ADMINISTRATORS HAVE LEFT IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. IT'S SAFE TO CONCLUDE THAT I WASN'T BEING BAMBOOZLED AT LEAST NOT BY SOCIAL MEDIA. SO I WANT TO STATE HERE, FOR THE RECORD, THAT I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING GASLIT ABOUT THE TREMENDOUS LOSS FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR STUDENTS. IT IS TRULY DISHEARTENING TO SEE SUCH A LACK OF APPRECIATION FOR WHAT THESE ESTEEMED EDUCATORS HAVE GIVEN TO THE PILL COMMUNITY . THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JOHN BRECKINRIDGE. RIGHT. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT, A COUPLE OF THINGS. I GUESS I'LL START OUT WITH, SINCE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF STUFF. ANDERSON, THANK YOU. FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I APPRECIATE LISTENING, I APPRECIATE BOARD MEMBERS THAT LISTEN TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND LISTEN AND TAKE IT TO HEART AND THEN MAKE THE DECISION, RATHER THAN IT BEING A POLITICAL, IDEOLOGY, I, SORRY. ALSO, ON THE, I GUESS IT'S 1801, I ASK THAT YOU VOTE NO, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN A SITUATION WE DO. GENTLEMAN SAID WE HAVE VOTING COMING UP. WE MIGHT HAVE A NEW BOARD IF WE DON'T HAVE A NEW BOARD. THERE'S NEXT YEAR, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD TWO YEARS.

THEN, LET'S SEE SOME NUMBERS. MORE NUMBERS COME IN ON WHAT'S HAPPENING. THESE THESE THINGS, A LOT OF THESE THINGS. THE COMMUNICATION TO ME HAS BEEN WHAT IT'S BEEN BEFORE AND THEN ADDED ON JUST THROW IT DOWN YOUR THROAT KIND OF THING. BEST WAY I CAN SAY IT. SO SOMETIME WITHOUT THAT COMMUNITY QUESTIONNAIRES IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD QUESTIONNAIRES ABOUT THINGS, A COUPLE OF THINGS, A COUPLE OF RHETORICAL QUESTIONS THAT I KNOW CAN'T BE ANSWERED. IT WOULD BE NICE IF PARAGRAPH 14 AND 15 ABOUT THE TERMINATION POLICY COULD BE READ. SO WE UNDERSTAND IF HE DOES GET THE EXTENSION. WHAT IF MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT IN FOR A HUGE FINANCIAL, ISSUE. AND ALSO, I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE MILK AND HONEY. THANK YOU. MARIA. WELL, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SO BRENDA AND DOCTOR CHERNISS EXECUTIVE CABINET GRADUATE MEMBER, TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT BLAKE'S. MY NAME IS MARIA LUPITA STUBBS. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR OBTAINING THE $200,000 STATE PATHWAY GRANT FOR THE UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE. I ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT TO CONTINUE GOING AFTER GRANTS AND FURTHER BRING INNOVATION PROGRAMS OR INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT ENTICE THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS THE ONE YOU'RE MENTIONING. ANOTHER 500 K AS IT PERTAINS TO THE USC. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE REALITY

[01:25:05]

[16. ACTION ITEMS - CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION]

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. YOUNGBLOOD, AND I HAVE A SECOND BY MR. FRAZIER. DOCTOR YOUNG, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BLADES, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DOCTOR CHERNISS, EXECUTIVE CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA'S LOCAL INDICATORS AS MEASURED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S APPROVED STANDARDS. WITHIN EACH PRIORITY AREA, CALIFORNIA'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM 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 ARE THE MEASURES FOR SOME OF THE STATE PRIORITIES THAT ARE NOT COLLECTED AND REPORTED BY THE STATE. THE CHART BEFORE YOU SUMMARIZES THE STATE'S EIGHT PRIORITIES AND SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN BETWEEN WHAT IS MEASURED BY THE STATE VERSUS THOSE THAT ARE MEASURED BY EACH DISTRICT. WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT OUR PROGRESS ON FIVE LOCAL INDICATORS, REFERRED TO AS PRIORITIES. PRIORITY ONE, WHICH FOCUSES ON BASIC SERVICES. PRIORITY TWO, WHICH FOCUSES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE STANDARDS. PRIORITY THREE, WHICH FOCUSES ON PARENT ENGAGEMENT. PRIORITY SIX, WHICH FOCUSES ON SCHOOL CLIMATE AND MEASURES STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF ENGAGEMENT AND SAFETY. AND PRIORITY SEVEN, WHICH FOCUSES ON COURSE ACCESS, WHICH MEASURES STUDENT ACCESS TO AND ENROLLMENT IN A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED CAN BE BASED ON EITHER QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE DATA, AND WE USE LOCAL SURVEYS, IN-HOUSE REPORTS, STATE REFLECTIVE TOOLS AND

[01:30:06]

[01:35:05]

FOCUSING ON ALGEBRA READINESS FOR FRESHMEN WHO ARE ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL AND EXPANDING OUR AG OFFERINGS ACROSS ALL HIGH SCHOOLS, INCLUDING AT EL CAMINO. AS A RESULT OF MEASURING THIS DATA, REPORTING THE RESULTS TO YOU, AND UPLOADING THE RESULTS TO THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD BY JULY FIRST, WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY DONE, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MET THE LOCAL INDICATORS REQUIREMENTS. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP TO ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK. IT LOOKS GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MRS. ANDERSON, AND I TO COME IN AND FINISH THE LAST SET OF AREAS THAT WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO DURING OUR LCAP PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. OF COURSE. OUR PLEASURE. YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO, ALSO BRING THAT UP. AND ALSO, I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE EXTRA BAKED TRICKS THAT ARE BUILT IN THROUGH THE THROUGH THE LCAP, BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US TO HAVE ACCURATE DATA NEXT YEAR WHEN WE'RE EVALUATING EVERYTHING. SO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THEY'VE DONE ON THAT, AND I ALSO WOULD LOVE TO HIGHLIGHT, ADDING THE EXTRA, GOALS AND THINGS FOR BRINGING THE CTE PROGRAM INITIATIVES MORE PRESENT TO OUR PARENTS. THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT ADDITIONAL IN THERE. FROM OUR FEEDBACK. AND ONE LAST THING I NOTICED, THE ONE THING I'M THAT WE'RE MISSING, THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AND I KNOW IT'S, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. SO I'M NOT SAYING FOR THIS YEAR AND I'M NOT EVEN RECOMMENDING IT, BUT I REALLY WANT US TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE AS MORE KIDS GO GRADUATE IN THE DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM THAT THERE'S MORE VARIETY OF OFFERINGS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR THEM, YOU KNOW, SO THAT THEY CAN EARN CERTIFICATIONS. AND I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN KIND OF PROBLEMATIC THAT THERE MIGHT NOT BE READY FOR THAT YET, BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. AND WE'RE CHANGING OUR MODELS. BUT I WOULD LOVE US TO KEEP THAT FOCUSED SO THAT THESE STUDENTS ARE, PLACED WELL WHEN THEY GRADUATE. AND BEING TRAINED IN CERTAIN THINGS AND SOMEHOW ALWAYS KEEP THAT IN OUR MIND TO WORK ON IT. SO THANK YOU. REAL QUICK, DOCTOR YOUNG, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR BREAKING. IT DOWN, MAKING IT SIMPLISTIC, EASY ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO UNDERSTAND.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN. OF COURSE. AND IT'S A TEAM EFFORT WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS AND ESPECIALLY THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT FOR ALL THEIR HELP WITH THE LCAP. YEAH THE NUMBERS WOULD BE, POSSIBLY WRONG IF THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT WASN'T INVOLVED. RIGHT, YEAH, A LOT OF WORK. I LIKE THE NEW FORMAT. I LIKE THE I LIKE THE MATRIX BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S REALLY GREAT TO BE ABLE TO JUST GO THROUGH AND YOU CAN COMPARE AND WE CAN CONTRAST FOR NEXT YEAR. SO, A LOT OF WORK.

GREAT JOB. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. GARY. IT'S YOU DID THE EL CAPS AT OC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CORRECT. YOU HAD A BIG PART OF THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO CLAIM CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT YES, I DID EL CAP REVIEWS WITH THE COUNTY. YES. SO I JUST I THANK EVERYONE BECAUSE WE DID DO IT DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR, BUT I THINK IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE AND YOU KNOW, AT FIRST I THINK THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A FREAK OUT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE CHANGE AND STUFF. BUT I THINK IT DID BECOME MORE EFFICIENT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK OUR TEAM ALSO, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE EVERY THING THIS YEAR WAS POSITIVE, WE IMPROVED IN SO MANY AREAS AND, IT'S ALL DUE TO THE HARD WORK OF OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF AND EVERYBODY WORKING TOGETHER. SO

[01:40:03]

YEAH BY. ALL RIGHT. CAN I HAVE A MOTION, PLEASE? FOR 16.2, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR THE 2425 FISCAL YEAR. I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. FRAZIER. I HAVE A SECOND BY MRS. ANDERSON. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? ARE WE GOING STRAIGHT TO A VOTE? ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING PERFECT. ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AND I'M AN I. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. CAN I HAVE A MOTION FOR 17.1? I'LL MAKE. SORRY I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE

[17. ACTION ITEMS - BUSINESS SERVICES]

DOCTOR. CHERNISS, EXECUTIVE CABINET, FAMILY, FRIENDS, STAFF MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THE SO ITEM 17.1, THE EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT, WAS CREATED WITH PROP BY PROPOSITION 30, APPROVED BY VOTERS IN NOVEMBER OF 2012. PROPOSITION 30 IMPOSED INCREMENTAL TAXES, WHICH WERE DISPERSED FROM THE STATE GENERAL FUND IN ORDER TO OFFSET THE STATE'S CONTRIBUTION FROM, TO PROP 98. SO REALLY, IT'S A KIND OF TRADING FUNDS BETWEEN PROP 98 AND THE EPA ACCOUNT. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016, VOTERS APPROVED, PROP 55, WHICH EXTENDED THE TAXES THROUGH 2030. SO WE'LL HAVE THIS THROUGH 2030, THE REVENUES THAT ARE THAT ARE GENERATED ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN WHAT IS CALLED THE EDUCATION OF PROTECTION ACCOUNT, OR THE EPA. EACH YEAR, DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH THE FUNDS WILL BE, HOW MUCH OF THOSE FUNDS WILL BE RECEIVED AND HOW THEY WILL BE SPENT. AND THEN THERE'S RESTRICTIONS ON THAT FOR 2425, STAFF IS ESTIMATING THAT WE WILL RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $4.6 MILLION FROM THE STATE'S EPA ACCOUNT, AND ALL OF THESE FUNDS WILL BE SPENT ON CLASSROOM TEACHER SALARIES. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE BOARD ADOPT A RESOLUTION 23 DASH 28, AS INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO SPEND MONEY. WILL YOU, REPEAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT? 4.6 MILLION 6.58 MILLION. THANK YOU. ROUNDED . OKAY. IF EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD, I'M THINKING WE'RE READY TO VOTE. YEP ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AND I'M AN I. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. CAN I HAVE A MOTION FOR 17.2? I'LL MAKE GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD. SURE. YEP. OKAY. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 2024 2025 ADOPTED BUDGET. I'LL SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MRS. ANDERSON. I HAVE A SECOND BY MR. FRAZIER. AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO YOU, GARY. THANK YOU AGAIN. IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO STAND UP WHEN I PRESENT. SO I TRADED PLACES ON YOU, THERE ARE A LOT OF SLIDES, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTH OF THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT, THERE'S SOME OF THEM THAT ARE IN THERE FOR INFORMATION, SO I MIGHT SKIP OVER THOSE SO THAT WE'RE NOT. I DON'T KEEP YOUR TOO LONG, SO THANK YOU AGAIN, FOR, HAVING ME SPEAK, TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER OUR 2425 ADOPTED BUDGET, THE REPORT IS BASED ON THE LATEST FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE. AND IT ALSO CONTAINS OUR ESTIMATED ACTUAL OR ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES FOR THE CURRENT 2324 SCHOOL YEAR. OUR TOPICS FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE STATE'S FISCAL OUTLOOK. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSAL FROM THE

[01:45:04]

AND IT'S HOVERING IN THAT AREA. EMPLOYMENT SEEMS TO HOVER AROUND I'M SORRY, UNEMPLOYMENT SEEMS TO HOVER AROUND NORMAL FOR CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS GOOD. AND THEN THE FEDERAL FUNDS RATES ARE ARE STABILIZING AS WELL. SO WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANY HUGE INCREASES OR DECREASES. ALL OF THAT BODES WELL FOR THE STOCK MARKET, WHICH IS WHAT A LOT OF CALIFORNIA'S INCOME IS BASED ON.

WE GET THAT FROM PEOPLE WHO SELL, SELL THEIR STOCKS AND HAVE CAPITAL GAINS. BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THE MARKET IS JUST KEEPS GOING. RIGHT. SO WE'RE NOT EXPERIENCING THAT RIGHT NOW. THE RISKS THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE YOU KNOW, THEM. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE WARS THAT ARE GOING ON OUTSIDE THE US. WE HAVE TRADE ISSUES, THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE IN CALIFORNIA THE UNIQUE, CHALLENGE OF HOUSING AVAILABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY HERE IN THIS AREA. SO I'M GOING TO THIS JUST SHOWS THAT STABILIZATION ON THE FAR RIGHT, I'M GOING TO SKIP THIS JUST BECAUSE I SAVED SOME TIME, BUT IT JUST SHOWS YOU THE STABILITY BETWEEN 22, 2023 AND 2024 THAT THOSE RATES AND EVERYTHING ARE ARE LEVELING OFF AND THEY'RE HOVERING IN THAT SAME AREA AGAIN. STABILITY IS GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY. SO THE MAY REVISE. THERE WASN'T A LOT OF GOOD NEWS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE MAY REVISE, AND A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT, WE HAVE A BUDGET SHORTFALL OF $45 BILLION. AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE GRAPH IN THE NEXT SLIDE ABOUT THAT, AND THIS ALL TIES BACK TO WHEN WE DELAYED OUR TAX RECEIPTS FROM, FROM APRIL ALL THE WAY TO OCTOBER, AND THE STATE BUILT A BUDGET BASED ON WHAT IT ASSUMED IT WAS GOING TO GET. AND WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE'RE STILL LIVING WITH THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A BUDGET SHORTFALL FROM THAT AS A RESULT OF THE BUDGET SHORTFALL, THE GOVERNOR PROPOSED SOME, SOME ADJUSTMENTS, PROPOSED WHAT'S CALLED A PROPOSITION 98 MANEUVER. I'M NOT GOING TO GET IT TOO MUCH INTO THAT, BECAUSE THAT WAS CHANGED BY BY THE EFFORTS IN THE LEGISLATURE TO SUSPEND PROP 98. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, BUT BUT SO AND WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAILS. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO OPERATE SCHOOLS AT A WHEN FUNDING IS REALLY KIND OF FLAT, I'LL SAY. AND SO WE HAVE A LOW LCFF COLA, AND THEN THE STATE IS ALSO PROPOSING PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REDUCED, DELAYS AND FUNDING DEFERRALS UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR. AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS. ALL OF THAT PACKAGE IS WHAT THE STATE'S USING TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT A REVENUE SHORTFALL, THIS GRAPH REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THAT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 20 2122 YEAR AND THEN YOU LOOK AT 2223, YOU SEE THAT $45 BILLION DROP. AND THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THAT. AGAIN, THAT DELAY IN TAXES. AND WE ASSUMED THAT THAT UPWARD MOMENTUM WE WERE SEEING IN 2020 WAS GOING TO CONTINUE. IT DIDN'T . AND SO NOW WE HAVE A HUGE REVENUE SHORTFALL FOR THAT YEAR. AND I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THE BIG THREE REVENUES ARE PERSONAL INCOME TAX CORPORATE TAX AND SALES AND USE TAX. THOSE ARE THE BIG THREE THAT FUND THE STATE. I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER THIS ONE BECAUSE IT GETS INTO THE MINUTIA OF PROP 98. AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SUSPENSION HERE IN A SECOND. SO STATUTORY COLA LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND, WHEN WE MET A YEAR AGO, AND THE STATE HAD COMMITTED TO OR AT LEAST I'D SAY PROPOSED A STATUTORY COLA FOR THE COMING YEAR OF 3.94, WHAT HAS WE'VE LANDED AT IS 1.07. OKAY. THAT IS A HUGE DECREASE THAT THAT THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO HAVE TO ABSORB. AND THAT DROP OF 2.87% ALONE IS ABOUT $8 MILLION IN

[01:50:01]

THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE ARE WORKING TO CREATE A PLAN BY WAY, THAT WELL, IN ALL THE MAJOR POINTS ARE HERE. BUT THE GOAL OF THIS PLAN, WHICH WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR, IS TO REALLY AVOID, CREATING A SITUATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHERE THEY HAVE TO START TAKING MONEY AWAY. SO WHAT THEY AND ALL OF THIS PROPOSAL AND SUSPENDING PROP 98, WHAT IT DOES IS IT ALLOWS THE STATE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD BY WITHDRAWING EVERYTHING OR NEARLY EVERYTHING OUT OF THE RAINY DAY RESERVE THAT THEY'VE BEEN BUILDING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IN ORDER TO BACKFILL WHAT WAS LOST AND BALANCE THE BUDGET OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD. SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT, STATE WISE, THAT'S WHY THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FUND A HIGHER COLA, AND THEN THERE'S SOME PROGRAMS IN HERE THAT WILL BE ELIMINATED OR DELAYED, MOST OF THOSE PROGRAMS, THE LAST TWO PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANYWAY, BASED ON OUR , OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. SO IT'S JUST HOW THEY'RE USING THE STATE FUNDS TO, TO BACKFILL, LET'S SEE. SUSPENDING PROP 98. I JUST WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT JUST FOR A SECOND. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THEY'RE SUSPENDING IT FOR LAST YEAR OR THE CURRENT YEAR, 2023, 24. WHAT THAT DOES IS IT TAKES THE YEAR PRIOR AND MAKES THAT THE BASE OF HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE MEASURING THE STATE'S PROGRESS IN FUTURE YEARS. SO IT SETS THAT AS OUR FUNDING LEVEL. AND THEN IT CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE NOW THE STATE'S GOING TO FUND US AT A LOWER LEVEL THIS YEAR, AND IT CREATES WHAT'S CALLED A, A MAINTENANCE FACTOR, A MAINTENANCE FACTOR. WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT'S A STATE IOU, RIGHT? IT'S A IT'S A LOAN THAT THEY'RE MAKING TO THEMSELVES OR MAKING, I GUESS WE'RE MAKING TO THEM TO SAY THAT THEY WILL PAY US BACK AT SOME POINT. SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SUSPEND PROPOSITION 98, WHAT I'LL TELL YOU IS AND I CAN HEAR THE SMIRKS, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T MAKE NOISE, BUT THE STATE ACTUALLY, WE'VE HAD THIS BEFORE. THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON THING.

WE'VE HAD THE MAINTENANCE FACTOR IN THE STATE DOES PAY IT BACK. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHEN, BUT IT DOES GET PAID BACK OVER TIME BECAUSE IT'S BUILT INTO LAW. IT'S BUILT INTO OUR CONSTITUTION. SO REAL.

AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. AND I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE AHEAD OF TIME. BUT BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS SLIDE A COUPLE MORE TIMES, THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THE ASSUMPTIONS WE USE WHEN WE BUILD OUR BUDGET, AND I HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN OUR ENROLLMENT AND IN BLUE ARE ATTENDANCE RATES OF WHAT WE'RE ASSUMING FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGET THAT WE'RE BUILDING OUT THE ENROLLMENT THAT YOU'RE SEEING. WE STILL BUILD IN A 400 STUDENT LOSS EVERY YEAR. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE BUDGETING IS A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT SCIENCE, AND THAT WE HAVE TO USE WHAT WE'VE GOT, THE DATA, WHAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED UP TO THIS POINT TO BUILD THE BUDGET. THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD A CONSERVATIVE BUDGET SO THAT IF ANYTHING BETTER HAPPENS, GREAT, RIGHT? IT WORKS OUT GREAT FOR THE DISTRICT. IF WE BUDGETED THE OPPOSITE WAY AND THINGS DIDN'T HAPPEN, IT COULD CREATE PROBLEMS . THE SAME THING WITH THE ATTENDANCE RATE, THE 94. IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAW, WHICH NONE OF YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER, THE PRESENTATION FROM MARCH. BUT, THE ATTENDANCE RATE WE WERE ASSUMING BACK THEN WAS 93.5, AND WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT 1% ATTENDANCE IMPROVEMENT MEANS AND I AND SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BUMPED THAT UP A LITTLE BIT. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ENROLLMENT THIS IS OUR PAST PRACTICE OR OUR PATTERN SINCE 20 1617 WE'VE LOST ABOUT 400 STUDENTS A YEAR. WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE IS WHAT'S IN BLUE. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS A POTENTIAL INCREASE COMPARED TO 2324. AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE NUMBERS OF WHY THAT IS AND WHY WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT. WE USUALLY LOSE 400 STUDENTS OR AROUND 400 STUDENTS. THIS CURRENT YEAR WE LOST 289, WHICH IS GREAT. I MEAN, IT'S TERRIBLE, BUT IT'S GREAT AS WELL. IT'S LESS THAN THAN WHAT WE HAD PLANNED. BUT WHAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU NEXT, KIND OF HELPS, EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE IN THIS SITUATION WHERE WE NEED TO REALLY WATCH OUR ENROLLMENT BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THERE'S A CHANGING TREND WHEN WE LOOK, WE MONITOR ENROLLMENT ALL YEAR LONG. OKAY? WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DATA THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING THIS YEAR. BUT I'M TAKING YOU BACK TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ON JUNE 5TH, YOU LOOK AT OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT, 22 FIVE, 76, AND THEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT OUR FEEDER PATTERN ENROLLMENT IS. IT'S JUST A COUPLE HUNDRED STUDENTS OFF, OKAY. THAT'S NOT USUALLY THE CASE. OKAY. USUALLY WE'RE WE'RE QUITE A BIT FURTHER AWAY, THAT HAS SINCE GONE UP.

BUT WHAT THIS FACTORS IN IS ALL OF OUR 12TH GRADERS LEAVING. IT INCLUDES EVERYBODY SHIFTING THE GRADE MOVING UP. AND THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT HAVE ENROLLED IN OUR DISTRICT OKAY. THESE ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE SAID YES, WE'RE COMING TO THE DISTRICT. THE NEXT LINE, YOU'LL SEE, IT

[01:55:06]

WE HAVE OUR PRESCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ARE AGING OUT TO WHERE THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR TK FOR TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN, WE HAVE AROUND 300 OR A LITTLE OVER 300 STUDENTS WHO ARE IN ELIGIBLE FOR TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN, BUT WHO HAVE NOT ENROLLED YET. OUR STATISTICS FOR THAT FROM THE LAST FEW YEARS IS ABOUT 80 TO 85% OF THOSE STUDENTS WILL ENROLL. THAT'S WHERE THE 180 190 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS ARE GOING TO COME FROM. IS THAT, AND WE'RE EXPECTING THOSE STUDENTS. WE JUST DON'T COUNT THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T ENROLLED YET. RIGHT WHAT'S THAT? DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY'RE HATCHED. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL ENROLLMENT STILL COMING TO THE DISTRICT THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING BETWEEN NOW AND THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THAT'S WHY OUR ENROLLMENT TRENDS ARE CHANGING A LITTLE BIT, WHICH IS WHY YOU'LL HEAR US TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT. I'M NOT COUNTING. I'M THE NUMBERS GUY. I'M NOT GOING TO COUNT ON THAT TILL THEY'RE HERE. RIGHT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. AND WHAT I'LL TELL YOU IS AROUND THE COUNTY, IT IS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. BUT IT'S, IT'S WE'RE SEEING A BIGGER TREND HERE. THIS TAKES YOU BACK TO THE LAST PRESENTATION LIKE I MENTIONED, 93.5. WE BUMPED THAT UP TO 94. BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE ACTUALLY SAW. SO WHEN WE FINALIZE ALL OF THE REPORTS AND ALL OF THE DATA FOR 2324, WE HIT 94.95% ATTENDANCE. THAT'S FANTASTIC. COMPARED TO WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN YEARS PAST, IS IT'S ABSOLUTELY FAR BELOW OUR HISTORICAL NORM FOR THIS DISTRICT. RIGHT ESPECIALLY ON OUR ELEMENTARIES. YOU'RE TALKING MORE LIKE HIGH 96, 97. OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE A LITTLE BIT LOWER. THAT'S THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. BUT 94.95 MEANS WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. WE'RE STILL NOT GOING TO ASSUME 94.95 NEXT YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME 94 RIGHT TO BE CONSERVATIVE. BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT WE WILL GO BEYOND THIS. AND SO WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, KEEP DOING IT. KEEP SENDING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.

IT'S WORKING. SO I'M GOING TO SKIP OVER THIS BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THE COLA. THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY CHANGE. THAT SECOND INTERIM IS THE COLA. THEY WERE GIVING US 0.76. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET 1.07 INSTEAD. BUT I'M CIRCLING BACK TO OUR ASSUMPTIONS . SO THESE ARE OUR FINAL ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE USE TO BUILD TO BUILD OUR OUR BUDGET. AND SO AGAIN YOU'LL SEE THE 94. YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO SEE 400 STUDENT LOSS EVERY YEAR. SO WHEN WE GET TO THE NUMBER SLIDE AND YOU SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF RED, A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WE LOST $8 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING. AND WE'RE STILL ASSUMING THAT WE'RE LOSING 400 STUDENTS. OKAY. SO WHEN WE GET TO OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION, WHICH IS THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE. SO WE'RE EXPECTING TO END THE YEAR $3.2 MILLION IN SURPLUS WHICH IS GOOD. AND THAT REALLY CAME FROM A LOT OF PAYMENTS THAT WE WERE EXPECTING TO MAKE THAT DID NOT COME YET. SO THEY ARE GOING TO BE MADE NEXT YEAR. AND SO WE BUILD THAT INTO THE ASSUMPTION. THE, YOU'LL SEE WE'RE EXPECTING A DEFICIT SPENDING OF $9.6 MILLION, AGAIN, BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT INCREASED OUR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS IN THERE OR OUR ATTENDANCE. THOSE TWO FACTORS ALONE COULD COULD MAKE THAT NOT NEGATIVE. RIGHT. SO WE ARE HOPING TO BRING BACK OR WE WILL BRING BACK OBVIOUSLY THE BUDGET AS WE GET TO THE FIRST INTERIM AND WE'RE WE EXPECT TO SEE THAT NUMBER CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY. OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE, FOR THE COMING YEAR IS GOING TO BE, $59 MILLION, $59.6 MILLION. THIS GIVES YOU THE BREAKDOWN OF WHERE THAT'S GOING, WE STILL MAINTAIN A 10% RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES AND FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, EVEN WITH THREE YEARS OF PROJECTED DEFICITS, WE STILL MEET ALL OF OUR RESERVE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE, WHICH MEANS WE ARE WE ARE ABLE TO ABSORB THIS, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WITH DEFICIT SPENDING, YOU KNOW, YOU DO THAT ON I WON'T SAY ON PURPOSE, BUT YOU DO IT WHEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS, SEEING A HUGE DECREASE IN FUNDING OR AND YOU DO THAT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T IMPACT STUDENT PROGRAMS RIGHT AWAY. THAT'S WHY YOU DEFICIT SPEND, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE KEEP WE TAKE OUR TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

SO THAT'S THE ENDING FUND BALANCE, AS PROMISED, WE'VE GOT OUR THE REST OF THE FUNDS. MR.

[02:00:01]

2012. I HAVE THIS ONE. YES. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE SAX FORMS. NO, I THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID. FUNDS BUDGETS. THAT'S THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID IN THIS PRESENTATION. WHAT I SAID WAS NONE OF THE PRESENTATIONS TO THE COMMUNITY. AND THE BOARD AS WE'RE WATCHING NOW, THIS IS CALLED A BUDGET PRESENTATION. NONE OF THOSE EVER HAD ALL FUNDS, THE STATE, ALL FUNDS, AND WE DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF IT. SO YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY PROVE THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I CAN, BECAUSE ON OUR WEBSITE, THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS TITLED ALL FUNDS NEVER HAD ALL FUNDS IN THEM. AND I WILL SEND THEM ALL TO YOU. SO YOU'RE ASSUMING. BUT THESE HERE ALL OF THEM SHOW WE'VE HAD ALL FUNDS BUDGET. I HAVE SEEN THEM EVERY YEAR. I'M NOT ARGUING THAT ALL FUNDS ARE PRESENTED TO THE STATE. WHAT I'M SAYING IS, AND WHICH IS FACTUAL AND TRUE, IS THAT POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS BY THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT TO THE BOARD IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS NEVER HAD ALL FUNDS. NOT TRUE. AND I WILL PROVIDE THOSE TO THE BOARD TO PROVE IT. JUST IT. ALL RIGHT.

THOSE AREN'T POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS. THOSE AREN'T PRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION. THOSE ARE NOT PRESENTATIONS SAYING THAT WE THOSE ARE SACKS. FORMS UPLOADED TO THE STATE WEBSITE IS NOT TRUE . WE'VE HAD IT ALL THIS TIME. THE SACKS FORMS UPLOADED TO THE STATE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 250 PAGE FORMS IN THAT BOOK HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTACHED. THAT IS CORRECT. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF THE COMMUNITY IN PUBLIC. YES. THEY HAVE NO, NO PUBLIC PRESENTATION LIKE THIS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS HAS HAD ALL FUNDS LIKE IT WAS SINCE THE HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT. AND NOW IT'S FIVE YEARS. IT'S NOT LAST FIVE YEARS WORTH OF POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ON ALL BUDGETS. NEVER HAD THESE FUNDS MOVE ON.

I'M I'M JUST I'M JUST CONFUSED. THEN THEN WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THE $43 MILLION THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, IF IT HAD BEEN PRESENTED AND WE KNEW WHERE THE MONEY WAS. IT WAS PRESENTED AND IT WAS PRESENTED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETING WE HAD WAS TO COME UP WITH A FIVE YEAR PLAN TO SPEND THE MONEY, NOT DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD, WHICH IS ACTUALLY SINCE CHANGED. YEAH. AND WE HAD A BUDGET STUDY SESSION BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE CHANGED IT. WE HAD A BUDGET STUDY SESSION TO REVIEW ALL FUNDS BECAUSE ALL FUNDS HAVE NEVER BEEN PRESENTED IN A PRESENTATION IN EVERY AT EVERY BUDGET INTERVAL, THE DISTRICT HAS PRESENTED A PRESENTATION LIKE THIS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THEY WERE TITLED ALL FUNDS BUDGET PRESENTATIONS. NONE OF THEM HAD ALL OF THESE FUNDS. I THINK WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THIS, AND WE SHOULD MOVE ON. AGREED IT'S FACTUAL AND I'LL PROVIDE IT TO THE BOARD. LET'S MOVE ON. PLEASE 2425 ADOPTED BUDGET. OTHER DISTRICT FUNDS. THIS SHOWS YOU THE PROJECTIONS FOR I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. WHO'S WHO'S TALKING? KEEP GOING, MR. STEIN. SO THE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING FOR 24, 25, YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN SOME OF THE FUNDS, LIKE THE COUNTY SCHOOLS FUND, WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS BEING USED FOR THE EL DORADO LIGHTS, SO THAT WILL BE SPENT BEFORE NEXT YEAR. AND YOU'LL SEE OTHER CHANGES THERE AS WELL, THERE WAS SOMETHING POINTED OUT IN A, IN A PREVIOUS SESSION ABOUT OR A BOARD MEETING ABOUT THE CAFETERIA FUND BEING, HAVING A HIGH END BALANCE. I ONE OF THE REASONS OR THERE'S A FEW REASONS FOR THAT. NUMBER ONE, IS THAT THE STATE'S FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE FICKLE. AND SO THEY HAVE AT TIMES, NOT FUNDED THESE LUNCH PROGRAM. AND SO WE

[02:05:05]

[02:10:02]

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SIXTH GRADER THAT NEEDS MORE? WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. YOU YOU I THINK THIS WAS I, WE I THINK TWO KIDS, THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE PROVIDED, SCIENCE CAMP TO EVERYBODY. SO I THINK THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE OUR PILOT YEAR. LIKE, HOW HOW IS THIS ALL GOING TO COME OUT AND HOW IS THIS ALL GOING TO, YOU KNOW, SO, YEAH, I THINK THE DISCUSSION IS GOOD BECAUSE THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE OUR PILOT YEAR. AND THEN NOW, LIKE MOVING FORWARD, WE'LL KNOW HOW TO BETTER BUDGET THE MONEY. RIGHT? THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. BECAUSE IT WAS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GUESS HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE GOING TO PARTICIPATE EACH YEAR. BUT WE DO KNOW THE AVERAGE COST PER STUDENT. AND WE DID KNOW THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE COMING OUT OF OUR MORE IMPACTED SCHOOLS, WHERE THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO FUND. AND THAT'S HOW

[02:15:03]

WELL, I THINK THIS IS A BUDGET. RIGHT. SO WE CAN ABSOLUTELY. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR ESTIMATED ACTUALS IN SEPTEMBER AND SEE THE ACTUALS, WE CAN ADJUST IT FOR SURE. OKAY. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE APPROVED WAS 400,000. SO IN A BUDGET THAT'S PERFECTLY IMPERFECT, TOTALLY AGREE.

AGREED. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I LIKE MISS KIDS. I GET IT. AND I AND I LOVE EVERY PARENT SHOULD LOVE A LITTLE HELP. I THINK WE ALL AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK NOBODY UP HERE WOULD DISAGREE. RIGHT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER THING I NOTICED THAT WAS IN HERE ON WITH ALL THE PROGRAMS THERE WAS NO BUDGET FOR UC, AND THAT IS A PROGRAM. AND DO WE HAVE A BUDGET BECAUSE I DIDN'T PART OF PARKVIEW, BUT IT'S A PROGRAM.

YEAH. WE DIDN'T SPLIT UP. WE DON'T. I'LL LET YOU ANSWER THAT. NO, WE DON'T BREAK IT UP BY, BY THE SITES. SO IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO NOT THE ENGINEERING PROGRAM AND ALL THAT. WE DON'T BREAK IT UP BY PROGRAMS OR SITES. OKAY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR A BUDGET FOR THE PERSONNEL COSTS FOR, UC FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN IT, WE'RE APPROVING ALMOST A HALF $1 MILLION TONIGHT FOR PERSONNEL, WHICH WE CAN TALK AT ANOTHER TIME, BUT WE NEED WE NEED TO SEE A BUDGET. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH THIS PROGRAM IS COSTING US. WE NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE BACK TO OUR, TAXPAYERS AND OUR COMMUNITY. TOTALLY AGREE. AND IT'S PART OF THE PARKVIEW BUDGET. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE IT IS. OKAY. BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO THE PARK VIEW, IT'S NOT REALLY THERE, WHAT'S SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S WRONG? WELL, I'M JUST I WHEN YOU GO TO THE SCHOOL BUDGETS. ON LET'S SEE. THAT'S TRANSPORTATION. LET'S SEE WHAT PAGE IS THE SCHOOL BUDGETS? I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SITE ALLOCATIONS IS WHAT YOU'RE.

YEAH. SITE ALLOCATION FUNDING. THAT'S A DIFFERENT PURPOSE. PARK VIEW. SO THE ONLY SITE ALLOCATION WE HAVE FOR PARK VIEW THAT'S AN ALLOCATION. YEAH. THAT'S NOT THE BUDGET. THAT'S HOW MUCH WE LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN A PARK VIEW BUDGET. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THE SITES. WE DON'T SPLIT THEM UP BY SITES. WELL I GOT TO SEE BERNARDO YORBA CHARTER SCHOOL SO THAT WAS GOOD.

BUT THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION. YEAH. BECAUSE USC IS NOT A CHARTER IS NOT A CHARTER. BUT PARK VIEW, IT STILL HAS STAFF. YEAH. YEAH. THEY ALL THE SCHOOLS HAVE STAFF.

WE DON'T BREAK THAT DOWN IN THE BUDGET. NO. THEY ALSO GET AN ALLOCATION HERE AS WELL ON THIS BERNARDO YORBA. YEAH. BECAUSE THEY'RE A CHARTER THAT ALLOCATIONS NOT THE BUDGET.

THAT'S HOW MUCH THAT'S THE ALLOCATION. DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN GARY, WHAT THE SITE ALLOCATION MEANS GARY HE'S DONE STANDING. MY LEGS HURT. OKAY. SO THE SITE ALLOCATIONS ARE REALLY FOR SITE, THE NEEDS OF THE SITE, THEY'RE FOR, YOU KNOW, PURCHASING MATERIALS OR FOR, WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION FOR EXTRA TRANSPORTATION FOR, CUSTODIAL SUPPLIES, ALL OF THAT. SO IT'S REALLY MEANT TO BE FOR THE SITE TO MAINTAIN THAT, THAT ACTUAL THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT OPERATING BUDGETS WITH STAFFING COSTS. CORRECT I GET THAT THEY'RE FROM THE LCFF AND THE SUPPLEMENT. SO I'M JUST AND OTHERS. YEAH. OKAY YEAH. DO YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET A BUDGET FOR USC FOR THE FOR THE PERSONNEL. IT'S SEPARATE. SO WELL THERE'S CONTRACTS AND THAT ARE GOING TO BE APPROVED TONIGHT. YEAH. SO THAT'S A HALF A MILLION RIGHT. AND THEN THERE'S 11 OTHER CHURCHES. WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT PUTTING PERSONNEL TOGETHER. WE WON'T KNOW THE COST FOR THE PERSONNEL YET BECAUSE WE'RE STILL STAFFING IT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT'LL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN , THE STAFFING COSTS FOR BUENA VISTA VIRTUAL ACADEMY, WHICH WAS

[02:20:02]

2425 PRELIMINARY BUDGET, SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. FRAZIER, AND I HAVE A SECOND BY MR. YOUNGBLOOD. MR. STEIN. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, UNDER EDUCATION CODE 47604.33, CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PRELIMINARY BUDGET TO THEIR AUTHORIZING SCHOOL DISTRICT BY JULY 1ST OF EACH YEAR, AS A CONVERSION CHARTER WITH THE PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.

BOARD OF EDUCATION. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FUNCTIONS BOTH AS THE GOVERNING BOARD AND THE AUTHORIZER FOR ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. BOTH CSC'S, AS IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PYLUSD BUDGET, THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET PROVIDES AN ESTIMATE OF THE FUNDING SOURCES AND EXPENDITURES FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL THAT HAVE BEEN EXTRACTED FROM THE, THE OVERALL PYLUSD BUDGET. SO WE'LL BE UPDATING THIS, AND BRINGING THIS BUDGET FORWARD AT EACH BUDGET ITERATION. SO YOU'LL SEE THIS AGAIN UPDATED, BASED ON WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BUT BUT THIS IS THE FIRST, VERSION OF THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS ONE, I THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT, INCOME AND EXPENSES GOING IN AND OUT, I THE SECTION AT THE BOTTOM, THE RESERVES FEES AND TRANSFERS. CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT IS AND WHAT THAT MEANS? YES. SO AS A, AS A SCHOOL WITHIN THE PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, ALL OF THE, ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE DISTRICT OFFICE, STAFF, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS, ALL OF THAT, THOSE ARE BUILT INTO THE COSTS OF THIS CHARTER SCHOOL SO THAT THEY WHILE THE REVENUE IS ALSO IS GOING TO THE OR BEING WE'RE EXTRACTING THAT SAYING THIS IS HOW MUCH REVENUE IS GENERATED.

WE'RE ALSO INCLUDING ALL THE EXPENSES EXPENSES AS WELL, INCLUDING, CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIAL EDUCATION AND, THE FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE, THE SHARE OF COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTAINING SITES, BASICALLY, IT COVERS EVERYTHING, TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE, ALL THE, THE SITE COSTS ARE INCLUDED THERE, ALL OF THE, THE FUNDS THAT WE'VE PUT INVESTED INTO THE CHARTER SCHOOL AT THIS POINT THIS YEAR, INCLUDING THE LAB AND VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND ALL OF THAT, WHERE IS THAT GOING TO ULTIMATELY SETTLE, OR IS THAT GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED SOMEWHERE, IN A, IN A, IN A CHARTER SCHOOL BUDGET, LIKE, AS WE WRAP UP THIS YEAR, IS ALL OF THAT GOING TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THAT SCHOOL OR WHEN WILL THAT BE? BECAUSE THOSE ARE DISTRICT EXPENSES IN THE 2324 SCHOOL. SO THE WHOLE BUILD OUT, INCLUDING THE LAB AND ALL OF THAT ADDITIONAL STUFF, ANYTHING SPENT IN THIS CURRENT YEAR WILL NOT BE PART OF THIS, ANY BUDGET, PART OF THE OPERATING. IT'S LIKE WHEN WE DO IF WE PUT IN A SCIENCE LAB AT A SCHOOL, IT'S ONE TIME MONEY THAT WE'RE USING FOR THE SCIENCE LAB, RIGHT? THERE'S DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE TIME EXPENSE, CAPITAL EXPENSES AND OPERATING EXPENSES. SO WE WON'T ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE TOTAL COST OF THE CAPITAL EXPENSES ARE TO BUILD IT OUT. ABSOLUTELY WE CAN, WE CAN. THAT WOULD BE ALL THAT I WOULD

[02:25:03]

AND? THANKS A LOT. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO OUR HUMAN RESOURCES, 18.1.

[18. ACTION ITEMS - HUMAN RESOURCES]

[02:30:03]

HERE, SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE BYLAW SAYS, THE BOARD SHALL ANNUALLY CONDUCT A FORMAL EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PERFORMANCE TO ASSESS HIS OR HER EFFECTIVENESS IN LEADING THE DISTRICT TOWARD ESTABLISHED GOALS. EVALUATION CRITERIA SHALL BE AGREED UPON BY THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT PRIOR TO THE EVALUATION, EVALUATION AND SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DISTRICT GOALS, SUCCESS INDICATORS, EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BOARD. THE EVALUATION SHALL PROVIDE COMMENDATIONS IN AREAS OF STRENGTHS AND ACHIEVEMENT.

PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING EFFECTIVENESS IN AREAS OF CONCERN OR UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE, AND SERVE AS A BASIS FOR MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT SALARY INCREASES AND OR CONTRACT EXTENSION. THE USE OF THE WORD MAY IN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S CONTRACT STATING DOES NOT SUPERSEDE THE BYLAW. IT WORKS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE BOARD BYLAW. THE BOARD BYLAW DICTATES WHAT THE BOARD DOES, NOT WHAT THE SUPERINTENDENT DOES. YOU ARE INCORRECT REGARDING FORMER SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION SAYING THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DONE. PAST SUPERINTENDENTS HAVE ALL BEEN EVALUATED EXCEPT FOR THE TWO PREVIOUS, BECAUSE THEIR EMPLOYMENT DID NOT SUCCEED THE NEXT YEAR, JIM ELSASSER, WHO ANNOUNCED HIS DEPARTURE AND AS A RESULT DID NOT NEED AN EVALUATION. MIKE MATTHEWS WAS AN INTERIM FOR ONE ONE YEAR AND DIDN'T NEED AN EVALUATION. GREG PLUTKO, DOUG DOMINION, DENNIS SMITH ALL HAD ANNUAL EVALUATIONS EXCEPT THE YEAR THAT THEY RETIRED, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN UNNECESSARY. SO I WILL BE VOTING NO ON THIS BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO AN EVALUATION AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE BOARD TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT. SO ONCE AGAIN, HIS CONTRACT I SPOKE TO. YOU'VE RECEIVED THE EMAIL FROM DAVID. I DID RECEIVE THAT, BUT THAT'S HIS CONTRACT AND NOT THE BOARD BYLAW. OKAY. SO THE CONTRACT ACTUALLY SUPERSEDES A BOARD BYLAW BECAUSE A BYLAW OR A POLICY IS NOT LAW. AND SO THE CONTRACT IS OVER. THE SUPERINTENDENT, THE BOARD BYLAW DICTATES OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO EVALUATE THE SUPERINTENDENT, WHICH WE DID NOT DO. OKAY. WELL ACCORDING TO OUR ATTORNEY, I'LL VOTE NO. OUR VERY GOOD. OUR ATTORNEY WAS IN MARCH OF 2024. AND HE DID SAY RIGHT HERE, I BELIEVE THE BOARD DID EVALUATE DOCTOR TERNUS IN THE MARCH TIME FRAME. AND I WAS IN THERE. AND SO ALSO YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND SAY ABOUT ELLSASSER BECAUSE ELLSASSER STARTED IN 2020 1ST JANUARY 2021. WE DID NOT DO. KAREN FREEMAN WAS THE BOARD PRESIDENT. WE DID NOT DO A SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION IN 2021. YOU WERE BOARD PRESIDENT IN 2022. ELLSASSER WAS HERE UNTIL JULY. WE DID NOT DO AN EVALUATION IN THAT SIX MONTH PERIOD THAT ELLSASSER WAS HERE.

HE WAS SAYING HE WAS LEAVING. THERE WAS NO POINT. NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY EACH YEAR, THEN WE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT YEAR. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE DID OURS IN MARCH. WE DIDN'T DO OURS IN MARCH. IT WAS A DISCUSSION LEADING UP TO IT. WE DID NOT HAVE AN EVALUATION. SHOW ME THE GOALS, SHOW ME ANY DOCUMENT THAT WE PROVIDED OR WE DID IN THAT MEETING. THERE WASN'T A THERE'S NO DEFINITION OF WHAT I'VE SEEN, OF WHAT THE EVALUATION MUST BE. IT SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE AN EVALUATION. IT SAYS IT CAN HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'VE BEEN EVALUATING HAVE THOSE THINGS I'VE BEEN EVALUATING THE ENTIRE TIME THAT HE'S BEEN HERE. I THINK THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD RESULT OF EVALUATION BASED ON WHAT HE READ AT THE SUPERINTENDENT. HIS REPORT TODAY. SO NO FORMAL EVALUATION BY THE BOARD IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. WE GOT TOGETHER, JUST SO YOU ALL HEAR IT? YEAH.

[02:35:02]

SO WE HAVE A SYSTEM, BUT, THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT. SO BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO JUST EVALUATE IT AS YOU WENT. SO WE LEFT THAT MEETING DOESN'T MEAN NO EVALUATION. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT NEGATES A OFFICIAL. BUT WE NEVER DID AN EVALUATION. WE WERE TRYING TO COME UP WITH GOALS AND THINGS. WE ACTUALLY DID. THERE WAS A STATEMENT IN THE MEETING WHERE, MR. HOUGH SAID, WOULD YOU LIKE THIS TO JUST BE HIS EVALUATION? AND I BELIEVE IT WAS YOU THAT SAID YES. NO, NO, I WOULD HAVE NEVER SAID I WOULD HAVE NEVER SAID THAT. OKAY.

POINT OF ORDER. RATHER THAN DISCUSSING CLOSED SESSION, WHICH WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING, WE DO HAVE AN OPINION FROM OUR LAWYER. YES. AND LET ME READ IT. IT SAYS EVEN IF THE BOARD EVALUATES OR THE BOARD EVALUATION DID NOT OCCUR, I DO NOT SEE ANY LEGAL PROHIBITION TO THE BOARD CONSIDERING DOCTOR CHERNISS'S CONTRACT AT THIS TIME. IN MY VIEW, THE POLICY IS NOT SO STRICT AS TO INHIBIT THE POWER OF THE BOARD FROM TAKING ANY ACTION ON THE CONTRACT AND THIS IS FROM OUR LEGAL COUNSEL. BUT AS A BOARD, IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND WE SHOULD BE DOING IT. THEN WHY DIDN'T WE DO IT FOR ELLSASSER? BECAUSE HE LEFT THE DISTRICT ABOUT THE YEAR BETWEEN. WHY AREN'T WE DOING IT NOW? THAT'S IRRELEVANT. WHY ARE WE NOT DOING? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S WALKING AWAY FROM THE EVALUATION. HOLD WE CAN'T HOLD STUFF ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOU. CAN'T HOLD ONE PERSON ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING. ELLSASSER WAS HERE FOR 18 MONTHS, AND YOU CAN'T JUST SAY, WE DON'T NEED TO DO AN EVALUATION ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WASN'T DONE AT THAT POINT. I CAN'T APPLES AND ORANGES. I CAN'T REVEAL WHAT HAPPENED IN CLOSED SESSION, BUT I KNOW WHAT WAS SAID, WHAT I SAID, AND I KNOW WHAT HE SAID, AND I KNOW WHAT WHAT THEY SAID. AND SO WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE SAID, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE AND WE'VE NEVER BEEN GIVEN ANY I MEAN, WE'VE NEVER DONE A SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION. EXACTLY SO WITH IN THE PAST EVER , AS IN EVER. SO IF WE'RE SITTING IN HERE AND WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY, AND IF WE'RE JUST HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND THERE'S AN AGREEMENT AMONGST THE BOARD OR THERE'S AGREEMENT AMONGST ONES THAT THIS IS ALL, YOU KNOW, WHAT WHAT THE GOALS ARE THAT HE SHARED WITH US AND WHAT EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING. IT'S FINE. LIKE LIKE HUFF HAS SAID THAT IS AND THAT CAN BE NOT UP TO YOU. IT'S UP TO US AND WE SHOULD AGENDIZE THIS. WE SHOULD POSTPONE THIS AND AGENDIZE IT SO WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION IN CLOSED SESSION. YES. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE SECONDING. I'M SECONDING THAT. THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT EVEN A THING, YEAH, I, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND I, LIKE MARILYN SAID EARLIER, I THINK WE SHOULD AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONTRACT THAT SAYS MAY EVALUATE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON. SO THAT'S NOT WHAT HIS CONTRACT, OUR BOARD CONTRACT SAYS. SHALL THE CONTRACT DOES NOT SAY SHALL SAYS MAY. AND OUR ATTORNEY SAYS THAT THE CONTRACT IS WHAT WOULD BE THE BINDING THING. SO I WILL GO WITH COUNSEL ON THIS. I'M NOT REALLY SURE.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE COULD DO BOTH. WE COULD WE HAVE AN EVALUATION AND COME BACK ON THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW. THIS FOR AN EXTRA YEAR AND IT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN TIMELINE. SURE.

THAT AND IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO VOTE IS THAT'S TOTALLY FINE. AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE. SO ALL RIGHT, LET'S CALL FOR A VOTE. CALLING FOR A VOTE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I, I, I NO, NO. MOTION CARRIES 3 TO 2. I DON'T THINK WE TAKE THE AUDIENCE'S VOTES INTO CONSIDERATION. CONSENT CALENDAR FOR ACTIONS PROPOSED FOR THE CONSENT EXCUSE ME. CAN WE HAVE THE GUY IN THE HAT ESCORTED OUT, PLEASE?

I THINK THAT'S IN THE 20.2. THAT WAS THE 26. NO, I SEE IT. IS IT IN THE. IS IT IN THE TOP ONE? IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DUPLICATED IN BOTH. OKAY. DID WE PAY THEM TWICE. THANKS FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY IDENTIFY HOW MANY HOURS OR NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WILL BE COACHED, AND THEN 20 HOURS TOTAL FOR THE TO FOR EACH FOR THE EIGHT WEEK SESSIONS, THE TOTAL COST IS $410 PER PER STUDENT. IF YOU BREAK IT ALL DOWN, IT IDENTIFIES NO STAFF MEMBER. SO ASSUMING ONE STAFF MEMBER THAT'S $1,833 PER HOUR THAT THEY'LL BE, THEY'LL BE GAINING FROM THIS, I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LICENSING FEE, THE $20,000 FOR A $50,000 CONTRACT IS EXORBITANT. SO I BELIEVE THAT'S ACTUALLY CURRICULUM. IT SAYS THAT THE TRAINING SYSTEM, IT'S A CURRICULUM, PART OF THAT, I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE ON IT BECAUSE IT SAYS LICENSING AND IT'S LICENSING AND THE NAME AND TRAINING SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T SAY LICENSING NAME, NAME AND TRAINING SYSTEM. THE OTHER TWO COMING UP WILL BE LICENSING, SO IT'S THE SAME AMOUNT. SO IT SEEMS THE SAME TO ME, SO I'D LIKE CLARIFICATION ON THAT THEN, IF IT'S GOING TO BE BEYOND JUST THE LICENSING, FOR $20,000, BUT I'M GOING TO VOTE NO, THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH, AND JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE THE LICENSING FEE IN THERE AT ALL, NEGATES IT FOR ME. YEAH. USUALLY WHEN WE GET CONTRACTS, IF THERE IS CURRICULUM, THEN IT'S SEPARATE. IT LISTED AS A SEPARATE ITEM AND IT'S CURRICULUM COSTS. THERE'S NO SEPARATE ITEM FOR THAT. IT'S ALL LUMPED TOGETHER.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE GOT INTO THE BUSINESS OF PAYING FOR SOMEONE'S NAME TO BE AT OUR SCHOOLS, I'M AGAINST THAT. AND WE SHOULD TAKE THIS BACK AND RENEGOTIATE IT, BECAUSE THIS IS A LITTLE EXTREME. IF ALL IT SAID WAS TRAINING SYSTEM AND NOT IT DIDN'T SAY NAME, YOU'D BE OKAY WITH IT. WE SHOULDN'T BE PAYING LICENSING FEES FOR TO USE ANYBODY'S NAMES. IT DOES. IT SAYS NAME, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T. AND IF IT'S IF IT'S CURRICULUM LIKE YOU SUGGEST, THEN IT SHOULD BE LISTED IN THE, IN THE AGENDA. LIKE THIS IS HOW MUCH IT IS FOR THE CURRICULUM PART. IT SHOULDN'T BE SEPARATE. IT SHOULDN'T BE LUMPED IN WITH THAT. THIS IS LIKE A LICENSING FEE. THAT'S WHAT I SEE IT AS. THE TRAINING LAB LICENSING FEE WAS $80,000 AND THAT WAS 7% OF WHAT THEIR TOTAL AMOUNT WAS. STILL, I DON'T AGREE WITH THE LICENSING FEE. WE SHOULDN'T BE PAYING THAT. BUT THIS IS 40. SO PART OF THE REASON THAT WE ARE LICENSING AND USING THE NAMES OF OUR PARTNERS IS TO, MAKE OUR PROGRAM REPUTABLE AND WE'RE PARTNERING WITH COMPANIES LIKE BCC, ADAPTIVE FITNESS, LIKE ACCESS HUMAN POTENTIAL LIKE RECODE, FITNESS, LIKE TRAINING LAB. SO WHEN WE OPEN USC, WE'RE JUST NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH. WE'RE ACTUALLY PARTNERING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE WORLD CLASS AT WHAT THEY DO. SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT STRATEGY AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE OUR BRAND THAT MUCH STRONGER. AND JUST LIKE HOPEFULLY WE'LL PARTNER WITH, SPECIAL OLYMPICS IS OUR GOAL IS TO PARTNER WITH THEM AS WELL, THE MORE REPUTABLE COMPANIES IN THIS SPACE, THE BETTER FOR OUR PROGRAM. WILL WE BE PAYING A LICENSING FEE TO SPECIAL

[02:55:03]

AND, THE FEEDBACK AND THE RESEARCH OF PROGRAMS WHEN THEY WALK IN AND THEN ALSO WHEN THEY COME OUT IS JUST PHENOMENAL. AND SO I WILL BE VOTING YES ON THIS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, I, I NO, NO.

[21.41 Approve the Independent Contractor Agreement with Recode Fitness to provide strength and conditioning training for students at Parkview School’s Universal Sports Institute during the 2024-25 school year.]

OKAY I'M. NOW I'M REALLY CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE PAID $250,000 TO THE TRAINING LAB TO DO INDIVIDUAL. WE BOUGHT THE PROGRAMING, SO THAT EVERY KID COULD HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH TRAINING, AND THEN THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL YOU BOUGHT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PROGRAM WE BOUGHT THAT WAS TECHNOLOGY. TECHNOLOGY. THIS IS ACTUALLY PEOPLE. OKAY, I'M GOING TO BE VOTING NO ON THIS BECAUSE IT'S FIRST THE LICENSING FEE. I'M NOT SURE THIS IS BAD BUSINESS FOR A DISTRICT TO GET INVOLVED IN. AND IT'S A LOT OF I AGREE, AND IT'S JUST STATING THAT. OKAY. ARE YOU GUYS DONE DISAGREEING? SO I CAN FINISH MY STATEMENT. YEAH. GO AHEAD. OKAY. THANK YOU. THESE THREE, CONTRACTS THAT ARE COMING UP TONIGHT COME OUT TO A HALF $1 MILLION FOR 100 KIDS AND THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. WHEN OUR AVERAGE ADA, BY THE TIME YOU, REMOVE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION, THE DISTRICT FEES, WE ONLY GET ABOUT $10,000. AND WE STILL HAVE TO EDUCATE THESE KIDS. WE'RE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEM TEXTBOOKS. WE'RE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEM A TEACHER. EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE HOMESCHOOLED. THEY'RE STILL PEOPLE OVER THEM. AND THEY'RE STILL FACILITIES THAT NEED TO BE MAINTAINED. SO I WILL BE VOTING NO ON THIS. I LOVE THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX THINKING, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM. I THINK THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING HERE, WE'RE SETTING THE TONE FOR, I THINK A LOT OF DISTRICTS SPECIFICALLY, EVEN FULLERTON, THAT ALMOST FOLLOWED RIGHT BEHIND US DOING IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT I THINK WE'RE THIS IS A BIG PART OF WHY IT'S GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IN MY OPINION. YEAH. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, FULLERTON IS CHARGING $10,000 PER STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR PROGRAM, AND THEY'RE NOT PAYING THE DISTRICT. THEY'RE PAYING THE ACTUAL COMPANY. THEY'RE THERE, WHETHER IT BE THAT WAY. WELL, WOULD YOU RATHER THESE KIDS PAY AND THEY'RE CHARGING. THEY'RE

[03:00:01]

IT COSTS JUST THIS AMOUNT IS ABOUT $3,400 PER STUDENT AT UC, SO I HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR BVA . DID YOU DO THE SAME FOR ENGINEERING? DID YOU DO THE SAME FOR I'VE ASKED FOR THE BUDGET FOR BVA AND I'VE ASKED TO SEE THAT, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. MY POINT IS, IF YOU START LOOKING AT THAT, WE HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT AND YOU'RE DOING IT, THAT EVERY PROGRAM, WHICH MEANS EVERY PROGRAM BASED ON YOUR LOGIC, IS TAKING AWAY FROM OTHER STUDENTS. SO I PUT THE BUDGET UP FOR BVA. WE'RE LOSING OVER A MILLION A YEAR ON WHICH I KEEP SAYING WE NEED TO LOOK AT. AND EL CAMINO IS LOSING OVER 2 MILLION A YEAR. SO BY EL CAMINO, WE'RE MANDATED. I'M TALKING NOW.

SO IF WE HAVE $3 MILLION THAT WE'RE LOSING, HOW MUCH ARE WE TAKING AWAY FROM EVERY STUDENT FOR KEEPING THESE PROGRAMS OPEN? AND SO ARE WE LOOKING AT THE MEDICAL SERVICES ACADEMY? ARE WE LOSING MONEY THERE? HOW ABOUT CULINARY LIKE ALL OF THESE THINGS? DO WE START JUST LOOKING AND THEN THE MEDIA? ABSOLUTELY. DO WE START LOOKING? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT I KNOW THAT OVER AT ESPERANZA, BECAUSE MY SON WAS INVOLVED WITH IT, THAT WAS AN EMPTY ROOM. AND SO DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR, YOU KNOW, THEIR MEDIA ROOM, IT WAS EMPTY IN LIKE 2018. AND THEY PURCHASED A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT FOR THAT. AND NOW THE ROOM IS FULL AND THEY'RE FULLY, YOU KNOW, OPERATING. BUT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO. YEAH, IT'S AMAZING. BUT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SPEND SOME MONEY TO MAKE THESE PROGRAMS. LIKE WE CAN'T OPEN A COMPUTER SCIENCE SCHOOL AND SAY, OH, WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO DO A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE INNOVATION LAB, BECAUSE WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO COME IF YOU'RE NOT OFFERING ANYTHING DIFFERENT? WE HAVE TO OFFER DIFFERENT THINGS. JUST LIKE IN USC, WE'RE OFFERING ALL OF THESE REALLY, REALLY COOL THINGS. AND I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TOO, I DON'T THINK I THINK THIS HAS SLIPPED LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THEIR CREDENTIALS OF OUR SUPERINTENDENT. HE WAS THE LA COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. HE WAS IN CHARGE OF A $14 BILLION BUDGET AND 80 SOMETHING, 8181 SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AND SO THAT IS THE BIGGEST IN THE UNITED STATES. AND SO I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE SITTING HERE WITH GARY STEIN, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF, WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD FINANCE PEOPLE, AND WE JUST KEEP QUESTIONING AND QUESTIONING AND QUESTIONING. AND THEY'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS GOING TO WORK. AND SO EITHER ANYWAYS, IT'S GOING TO WORK. IT'S A GOOD IDEA. AND THEN THEN LET'S SEE, YOU KNOW FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, THE AUGUST BOARD MEETING, LET'S SEE THE AMOUNT OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE LOSING IN EVERY PROGRAM, EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM. LET'S SEE WHAT WE'RE LOSING EVERY SINGLE ACADEMY. AND THEN LET'S LET'S BRING IT ALL IN AND LET'S SEE, LIKE, HOW MUCH IS TAKING AWAY FROM EVERY STUDENT. LIKE, DO WE REALLY WANT TO START GOING THERE, OR DO WE WANT TO JUST START SAYING, THIS IS GOING TO BE WHAT'S GOOD FOR KIDS? AND AGAIN, THE UC BUDGET, WHICH WE WILL BRING THE OPERATING COSTS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE 0.3% OF OUR OVERALL OPERATING BUDGET.

AND IT'S MAKING UP AND IT'S TAKING UP 99% OF THE ATTENTION BECAUSE OF I DON'T KNOW, POLITICAL REASONS. NO, IT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON RIGHT NOW, REALLY EVALUATING AND VOTE RIGHT NOW. AND REALLY UNFORTUNATE. AND THE MISINFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT UC INTENTIONALLY BEING PUT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS, IS IT'S TROUBLING. AND THERE'S SO MUCH MISINFORMATION OUT THERE. AND PEOPLE PUT IT OUT AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TIME TO FACT CHECK. SO THEY BELIEVE IT. AND SO IT'S JUST IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT, A DISTRICT WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY INCREASING ENROLLMENT, WE NEVER HEAR THAT FROM THE SAME PEOPLE THAT, DON'T WANT UC. THEY DON'T WANT OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. WELL, WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU WANT? WE WANT MORE KIDS TO COME HERE. WE WANT A HEALTHY DISTRICT WHERE WE CAN OFFER A LOT OF PROGRAMS. THIS IS ONE OF THEM. THE COST IS MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE OPERATIONS OF OUR DISTRICT. AND IT ACTUALLY MAY BE HELPING BECAUSE OUR OUR ENROLLMENTS GOING UP. I THINK WHAT'S DISAPPOINTING IS THAT WE'RE NOT LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE COME.

I AM LISTENING AS WELL. INTERRUPT. JUST LISTEN. I'M LISTENING. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW

[03:05:03]

I'VE HAD NEIGHBORS COME TO ME BECAUSE THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS UC, THEY'VE COME TO THE BOARD MEETINGS AND THEY LISTEN AND THEY'RE LIKE, MARILYN, WHY ARE YOU AGAINST IT? AND THEN THEY'VE COME TO THE MEETINGS AND THEN THEY'VE COME BACK TO ME AND SAID, MARILYN, TELL THOSE PEOPLE I, I WANT YOU TO VOTE NO. AND THAT'S WHAT MY CONCERN STUDENTS ARE SAYING, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND SO I AM LISTENING TO MY CONSTITUENTS AND WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE COME AT THIS BOARD MEETING. MANY MANY PEOPLE BRINGING UP THE SAME QUESTIONS. AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE A BUDGET. WE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO MAINTAIN THIS. WE STILL DON'T HAVE A TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE BUILD. IT'S ALL VERY HEARSAY AND WE'RE ALL TRYING TO PUT IT TOGETHER BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET IT TOGETHER. SO I THINK WE HAVE IT TOGETHER. I WILL BE VOTING NO OKAY. WE CAN USE ANECDOTE'S ALL WE WANT. I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THINGS FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, AND THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING SO GREAT. SO WE'RE HEARING THINGS THAT WE COULD ALL USE ANECDOTE'S. BUT REALISTICALLY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, DEPENDING ON HOW WE VOTE AND THE RESULTS OF WHAT WE GET FROM WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, WE WILL KNOW EXACTLY HOW WE DID.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL RIGHT NOW. BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE SEEN, THE FINANCIAL MINDS THAT WE HAVE INVOLVED IN THIS, THIS IS THE PLAN THAT SEEMS TO MAKE THE MOST LOGICAL SENSE TO MOVE FORWARD, TO MAKE OUR DISTRICT CONTINUE TO THRIVE IN A WORLD WHERE DISTRICTS ARE DYING. SO I'M GOING TO VOTE YES AND I THINK, TOO, I THINK WE NEED TO STOP WITH JUST THE ONLY 100 STUDENTS, OR BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY LIKE AT 110. BUT HOWEVER, THERE'S GOING TO BE THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES COME IN AND YOU CAN TRAIN AFTER SCHOOL. WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT. SO THAT OPENS IT UP TO A TON MORE STUDENTS. AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 110 APPLICANTS. WE HOPE TO HAVE 200 BY THE TIME THE YEAR STARTS. BUT AGAIN, EVEN IF WE OPEN A SCHOOL WITH 200 KIDS, EVEN IF IT SERVES THOUSANDS OF KIDS, AFTER SCHOOL, EVEN IF IT'S PROFITABLE, THAT'S NOT THE POINT. IT'S NOT THE POINT IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS. YEAH. I MEAN, YOU HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE SHIRLEY JONES WHO I, I AGREE, YOU HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE SHIRLEY JONES WHO BUT NOT GOING TO THE BEST AND IT'S NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF SO THEN A MEDICAL SERVICES PROGRAM AT THE EXPENSE OF THAT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN A DOLLAR AMOUNT GOING INTO ALL OF THIS. BUT IS THE MEDICAL SERVICES KEEP DOING IT JUST LIKE SERVICES PROGRAM AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST IS EL CAMINO AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST? IS BBVA AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST? IS CULINARY. BBVA IS LOSING OVER A MILLION A YEAR. I PUT THAT ON THE SCREEN. YOU SAW THAT BUDGET. DO YOU SUPPORT THAT PROGRAM? YES. OKAY. EVEN THOUGH IT LOSES THAT, I WOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM. I WANT MORE INFORMATION THAT I'M NOT GETTING. OKAY. FOR EXAMPLE, ANY OF THE BUDGETS HERE, THAT AND, AND WE DON'T PAY LICENSING FEES ANYWHERE ELSE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH LICENSING FEES. EVEN IF THIS WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER, I STILL WOULD DISAGREE WITH IT BECAUSE WE SHOULD NOT BE PAYING LICENSING FEES EVEN IF IT DRAWS IN STUDENTS AND EVEN IF IT DRAWS IN STUDENTS. WE DON'T DO THAT. WE SHOULDN'T DO IT. IT'S PUBLIC MONEY. IT'S PUBLIC MONEY THAT WE'RE USING TO SERVE KIDS. AND IF IT SERVES KIDS BETTER BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE PARTNERSHIPS, THAT MONEY IS NOT SERVING THE KIDS, IT'S PAYING THEM FOR THEIR NAME. WE PAY LICENSING FEES WHEN WE WHEN WE ORDER BOOKS. SO WE'VE BEEN PAYING LICENSING FEES FOREVER.

FOR EVERY CURRICULUM YOU BUY, YOU PAY A LICENSING FEE. THAT'S A LICENSE. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE LICENSING FEE TO LEASE THEIR NAME. THAT IS NOT IT. IT'S NOT GETTING IT'S NOT GETTING A TEXTBOOK. YES IT IS. IT'S DIFFERENT. WE'RE GETTING ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE THIS. IS THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF SEMANTICS. THAT'S JUST POINTLESS. THERE'S LICENSING FEES AND SO MANY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS. I SPOKE TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS AND OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND, AND THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO THIS. THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS, SO THEY'RE PROBABLY UPSET. WE'LL JUST AGREE TO DISAGREE FIRST. YEAH, I DON'T THINK WE'LL AGREE TO DISAGREE. GARY. PERFECT ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO FOR A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE AYE. NO, NO. 3 TO 2. NEXT ONE PLEASE. FOUR. THREE I

[21.43 Approve the Independent Contractor Agreement with BC Adaptive Fitness to provide functional training for students with disabilities at Parkview School’s Universal Sports Institute during the 2024-25 school year.]

[03:15:03]

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. AND I THINK THAT'S THE END OF IT. SO ONE THOUGHT, ONE THOUGHT THAT WAS HAD IS IT IS 930. AND SO IF WE WANT TO SKIP OUR COMMUNICATION BOARD REPORTS FOR TONIGHT AND MOVE TO ADJOURNMENT, IF WE DO THAT WE WON'T, BE REPORTING BACK TO AUGUST. SO I SAY WE GO THROUGH IT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD QUITE A BUSY MONTH. I AGREE. AS LONG AS IT'S DOWN TO THREE MINUTES. YEAH. ARE WE GOING TO. I'LL READ FAST. LET'S LET'S GIVE OURSELVES LET'S GO FAST. OKAY. I'LL JUST GIVE HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. YEAH. WE WERE

[24. BOARD REPORT]

LCAP. THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA TIME. AND MR. STEIN, THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA TIME WITH THE BUDGET AS WELL, THAT WE SPENT GOING OVER A LITTLE A LITTLE BIT, CONGRATULATE US AGAIN TO THE COMMUNITY ON OUR COMMUNITY HONOREES, WHICH WE ALL SAW IN MAY BUT DIDN'T GET TO, SAY THANK YOU HERE, ATTENDED A FEW AWARDS NIGHTS, FISCAL SEMINAR WITH OSBA AND, THE ROSE DRIVE GRADUATES COMING BACK. THE SENIORS COMING BACK WAS AWESOME. IT WAS. WE HAD THE BIGGEST CLASS THAT HAD COME BACK, SO THAT WAS FUN, ATTENDED THREE DIFFERENT PROMOTIONS, FIVE DIFFERENT GRADUATIONS. AND THE HIGHLIGHT FOR SURE WAS BEING ABLE TO GIVE MY DAUGHTER HER DIPLOMA, MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, HER HER DIPLOMA FOR GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR. SO THAT WAS VERY AWESOME, AND THEN JUST ONE LAST NOTE AT THE, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, MARILYN HAD HAD BEEN ACCUSED OF CONTACTING THE DSA, REGARDING THE UC PROJECT, AT OUR, ON EMAIL AND SENT OUT TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND THEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT WASN'T CORRECT, I WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE THAT CALLED THE DSA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I WAS GETTING CONFLICTING REPORTS FROM STAFF AND FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT WAS REAL AND WHAT WASN'T, WHEN I CALLED THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT WITH A SIMPLE 700 FORM AND $400, THEY COULD SIGN OFF ON THAT PROJECT, BUT THAT HAD NOT BEEN REQUESTED, SO IT WASN'T MARILYN. I CONTACTED THEM TO CONFIRM, AND IT'S WITHIN MY RIGHT TO DO THAT, PROJECTS WITH DSA AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, BOARD MEMBERS CAN BE HELD PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY OF THAT STUFF. SO IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CALL AND FIND OUT WHERE WE WERE ON IT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE ON IT, HE TOLD ME THAT, THE ONLY WAY THAT I

[03:20:04]

I ATTENDED A ROTARY MEETING, AND I WAS THERE FOR LOVE PLACENTIA. BUT IT WAS A BONUS BECAUSE THERE WAS TWO PLACENTIA, VALENCIA STUDENTS THAT SHARED THERE, EXPERIENCES THAT ROTARY SPONSORED THEM TO GO TO A, A LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE. I ATTENDED THE VALDEZ END OF THE YEAR BAND AND ORCHESTRA CONCERT, THE RUBY DRIVE COLOR RUN, I ATTENDED THE LOT. 318 GOOD LIFE CELEBRATION. AND, I JUST WANTED TO BRING NOTE TO ONE OF THE STUDENTS THERE WHO, HAD COLLECTED SHOES AND SPORTING EQUIPMENT, AND SHE HAD CLEANED IT ALL AND MADE IT WONDERFUL.

AND SHE WAS GIVING IT OUT FREE TO THE COMMUNITY THERE. AND SO I LOVE SEEING OUR STUDENTS IN ACTION. I ATTENDED VALENCIA AND ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AWARDS NIGHTS. OUR KIDS ARE OUTSTANDING, I WENT TO THE TOUGHER MIDDLE SCHOOL OUTDOOR OUTSIDE BAND CONCERT AND IN AND OUT FUNDRAISER AND WAS SUCH A LOVELY EVENING. I I'M READY FOR CONCERTS IN THE PARK, I WENT TO THE GEORGE KEY GARDEN DEDICATION, VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL AND KRAMER MIDDLE SCHOOL, VOCAL SPRING CHOIR CONCERTS. AND I'M ALWAYS SO IMPRESSED. AND I ALSO, JUST YESTERDAY ATTENDED THE END OF THE YEAR ADMINISTRATIVE LUNCHEON. SCHOOLS, VICE VISITS. I WENT TO VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL, EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL, ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL, YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT WAS SO FUN, TO

[03:25:06]

[03:30:02]

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE LIKE DEMONIZING THAT OR SAYING, OH, WELL, IT'S JUST BORED. IT'S SUPERINTENDENT OR IT'S THIS PLACE OR IT'S THIS, IT'S POLITICAL OR IT'S THIS BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE HAVEN'T BEEN TRYING TO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS. IT'S NOT POLITICAL. YES. LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT MY POLITICAL PARTY IS. BUT DO I BRING THAT IN HERE? NO. I JUST TRY TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT IS A LITTLE BIT BOTHERSOME WHEN SOMEBODY COMES UP, YOU'RE JUST PLAYING POLITICS. WELL, NO, WE'RE NOT JUST PLAYING POLITICS. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE CURRICULUM STRONG, KEEP THEM IN GOOD SPORTS, HAVE ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO I DON'T THINK UCI IS POLITICAL. I DON'T THINK A CHARTER SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, A DISTRICT CHARTER SCHOOL USING OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS AND ALL OF OUR FACULTY IS POLITICAL. IT'S JUST OPPORTUNITY. IT'S JUST SEEING WHAT THE FUTURE IS HOLDING FOR THESE KIDS. AND SO IF THAT'S POLITICAL AND THEN THEN FINEST POLITICAL TO GIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO KIDS, I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT IN LONG BEACH UNIFIED, JUST PRINCIPALS ALONE, THERE WERE 13 PRINCIPALS WHO LEFT OR WERE MOVED OR DID WHATEVER. AND SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT LONG BEACH UNIFIED BEING ON FIRE. AND THIS WAS JUST PRINCIPALS ALONE. THIS WASN'T EVEN ALL OF THEIR ADMINISTRATORS JUST PRINCIPALS, 13 OF THEM. AND SO YET WE'RE NOT HEARING ANY COMPLAINTS. WE'RE NOT HEARING, YOU KNOW, LONG BEACH IS THIS AND LONG BEACH IS THAT. AND THEN I ALSO SAY TOO, LIKE THERE'S SIX LIKE CLAREMONT IS A VERY SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND YOU HAD SIX ADMINISTRATORS, YOU KNOW, LEAVING AS WELL OR OPENINGS FOR THEM. BUT NOBODY'S SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. BUT SUDDENLY HERE WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE LEAVING, I MEAN, WE HAD A LIST GO OUT THE OTHER DAY AND THEY WERE, OH MY GOSH, PEOPLE ARE LEAVING. THERE'S PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE ON THIS LIST THAT WERE TAKING PROMOTIONS TO OUR DISTRICT OFFICE. AND SO, LIKE, I THINK WE JUST NEED TO BE REAL ABOUT THINGS AND REAL ABOUT LIFE BECAUSE I KNOW TWO FOR A FACT. LIKE I TOOK A POSITION, I

[03:35:03]

AND SO I MEAN, IT'S JUST KIND OF HOW IT IS. SO ANYWAYS, I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A GOOD SUMMER, I HOPE EVERYBODY STAYS SAFE. AND THEN I ALSO DID WANT TO POINT OUT I DETECTED THE NET A MINUTE AGO BECAUSE IT SAID ON OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING THAT IT'S AUGUST 8TH, AND SO I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND TWO, BIRTHDAYS ON A BOARD MEETING. AND I KNEW MY BIRTHDAY WAS NOT ON TUESDAY AGAIN. SO IT IS ACTUALLY, AUGUST 13TH IS OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING. AND SO, EVERYBODY HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY JULY AND WE'LL SEE YOU BACK ON AUGUST 13TH. AND I'D LIKE A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT. I MOTION FOR AN ADJOURNMENT. SECOND. OH YEAH. CAN SOMEBODY SECOND IT PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I
