RECENTLY, PLACENTIA-YORBA LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS HONORED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS PROJECT EXCELLENCE AND LEGACY AWARD.

THIS RECOGNITION IS NOT SIMPLY AWARDED FOR STRONG INSTRUCTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, TEAM. SORRY I STOLE SOME OF YOUR THUNDER, DOCTOR GRAY. THANK YOU, DOCTOR KIM. I'LL AD LIB. LORELEI PROVIDED ME A GREAT SCRIPT, SO I'LL BE GOOD TO GO. SO TONIGHT, IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE AN EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT BY RUBY DRIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ITS DEDICATED STAFF. RUBY DRIVE ELEMENTARY WAS FORMALLY RECOGNIZED BY ADVANCEMENT VIA INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION, COMMONLY KNOWN AS AVID AS THE FIRST ELEMENTARY AVID NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL IN ORANGE COUNTY. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MRS. LISA CARMONA, THE EXCEPTIONAL PRINCIPAL OF RUBY RUBY DRIVE ELEMENTARY, TO COME FORWARD. DURING THE RIGOROUS VALIDATION PROCESS, AVID REPRESENTATIVES CONDUCTED CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS, STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS, AND A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF SCHOOL WIDE PRACTICES AND STUDENT DATA. THE VALIDATION TEAM CONCLUDED THAT RUBY DRIVE ELEMENTARY EXEMPLIFIES THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF AVID AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

IN REMARKS SHARED WITH THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY, THE AVID VALIDATION TEAM NOTED THAT THIS RECOGNITION REFLECTS FAR MORE THAN STRONG IMPLEMENTATION. THEY EMPHASIZE THAT THE SYSTEM'S INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS REQUIRED OF AN AVID NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL WERE CLEARLY EVIDENT THROUGHOUT EVERY CLASSROOM AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ON CAMPUS. RUBY DRIVE ELEMENTARY WAS DESCRIBED AS A BEACON OF EXCELLENCE BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY.

[14. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT]

TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVE CABINET MEMBERS. I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE NOW FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LENGTH.

BUT IT IS MAY AND WE'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON. I'M GOING TO START WITH SOME BUDGET

[00:50:03]

HEARING ABOUT REVENUES EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS. LOTS OF ADVOCACY GOING ON IN SACRAMENTO.

BUT WE'RE ALSO HEARING SORT OF BACK CHANNEL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONE TIME MONIES. AND WE'LL BE SHARING THAT WITH YOU ALL IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOCTOR PAPPALARDO BRINGING US THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE 2627 SCHOOL YEAR IN JUNE, AS WE TYPICALLY DO. I ALSO WANT TO THANK DOCTOR PEREZ AND MR. MCGOUGH AND ALL OF OUR SECONDARY PRINCIPALS. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD ON MASTER SCHEDULING WORK, REALLY LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT PROGRAMING AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE MASTER SCHEDULES THAT GIVE KIDS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCEL IN THE PROGRAMS THAT MATTER THE MOST TO THEM. AND WE'LL BE DOING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF WORK. I'M EXCITED TO BRING YOU ALL ON THE JANUARY SORRY, JANUARY, JUNE 2ND BOARD MEETING, THE STRATEGIC PLAN. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH ALL OF OUR LEADERS AND DIVISIONS AND OUR PRINCIPALS. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH ALL OF YOU, SHARING ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE FROM ALL OF OUR LISTENING SESSIONS AND TAKING THAT FORWARD INTO THE DIRECTION INTO 2627 TEACHER CLASSIFIED STAFF APPRECIATION.

AT OUR APRIL BOARD MEETING, THE BOARD ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS RECOGNIZING MAY 4TH THROUGH EIGHTH AS CALIFORNIA WEEK OF THE TEACHER AND MAY 17TH THROUGH THE 23RD AS CLASSIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEE WEEK. THESE CELEBRATIONS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A DISTRICT TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK THE DEDICATED EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT STAFF WHO MAKE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON OUR STUDENTS EACH AND EVERY DAY ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES, STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND COLLEAGUES ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE A MOMENT, SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUALS WHO HELPED MAKE PYLUSD SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE TO LEARN AND GROW. COMMUNITY HONOREE CEREMONY. AS WE LOOK AHEAD ON MAY 18TH, WE'RE EXCITED TO HOST OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY HONOREE CEREMONY AT THE FORUM AT YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL. EACH YEAR, OUR SCHOOL SITES SELECT COMMUNITY HONOREES WHO'VE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND IN SERVICE TO STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS WHILE EXEMPLIFYING THE DISTRICT'S CORE VALUES OF EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, COLLABORATION, AND INNOVATION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING THESE OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUALS AND THE MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS THEY MAKE ON OUR PYLUSD COMMUNITY. LAST WEEK, THE REACH FOUNDATION HOSTED ITS ANNUAL MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK MEET AT NATHAN CHAPELL MEMORIAL STADIUM AT YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL. STUDENT ATHLETES FROM ACROSS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS COMPETED IN A VARIETY OF EVENTS, INCLUDING SPRINTS, LONG DISTANCE RUNNING, LONG JUMP AND HIGH JUMP. THE EVENT SERVED AS A CULMINATING ACTIVITY OF THE DISTRICT'S EXPANDED MIDDLE SCHOOL INTRAMURAL SPORTS PROGRAMS, WHICH INCLUDED VOLLEYBALL, FLAG FOOTBALL, CROSS COUNTRY AND WRESTLING. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR REACH FOUNDATION AND ALL THE STAFF, VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS WHO HELP MAKE THESE OPPORTUNITIES POSSIBLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND THEN FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO SHARE. TONIGHT'S AGENDA INCLUDES A CONTRACT FOR A PROJECT MANAGER WHO'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN DEVELOPING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO START WITH SAYING I DIDN'T INITIALLY SEE OR PREDICT THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A NEED. HAVING LED A SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICT PREVIOUSLY EIGHT, NINE SCHOOLS, I DID THAT HEAVY LIFTING WORK. AND HERE WITH 34 SCHOOLS BEING A MUCH LARGER SCHOOL DISTRICT, ONE OF THE THINGS I RECOGNIZED IS THE COMPLEXITY OF WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS GOT A CHANCE TO PROVIDE VOICE IN THAT PROCESS. OVER THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT INTO EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS MULTIPLE TIMES, MEET MONTHLY WITH OUR ASSOCIATIONS, CONDUCT LISTENING SESSIONS. AND SO I'VE LEARNED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT ABOUT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ABOUT THE NEEDS WHERE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR STRATEGIC, EXCUSE ME, OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. I I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE RECOGNIZED IS THAT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, SINCE THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE HAD A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TURNOVER IN LEADERSHIP IN OUR DISTRICT. AND WE HAVE LOTS OF ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE IN THEIR FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS OF ADMINISTRATION. SO THEY ARE STILL LEARNING. THEY'RE LEARNING HOW TO BE EFFECTIVE. LEADERS OF SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES. AND WHAT WE'RE FACING ARE THINGS LIKE BOARD POLICIES FROM THE 1980S. IN FACT, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I LOOKED THROUGH THEM TODAY, AND I FOUND ONE AS OLD AS 1968 WAS THE LAST TIME IT WAS LOOKED AT AND OR REVISED. WE HAVE AT LEAST A DOZEN FROM THE 1980S, AND MANY OF THEM ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH ED CODE AND NEED TO BE REVISED. SO WE HAVE TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE OVERHAUL THAT'S NOT THE MOST EXCITING AND DYNAMIC WORK, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO OUR DISTRICT, OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY WORK IS PROBABLY THE THING THAT KEEPS ME UP THE MOST AT NIGHT, REALLY ENSURING THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE SAFE. WHEN I THINK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE AND PLANNING, UTILIZING MY EXPERTISE AND MY BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE, WE NEED A VISION FOR MODERNIZING SAFETY AND SECURITY IN OUR DISTRICT, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A HEAVY LIFT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. WHEN I THINK

[00:55:03]

WE'VE HELD 30 IN-PERSON SESSIONS, AND WE'VE ENGAGED WITH 350 STUDENTS TO HEAR THEIR VOICES ABOUT WHAT THEY ASPIRE TO AND WHAT THEY WANT THEIR EDUCATION TO BE. AND ELLEN, MARY HAS BEEN DEEPLY INVESTED IN THIS WORK, AND SHE'S TAKEN TIME TO LEARN ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY ALONGSIDE LAURA LEE AND MYSELF. BUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS HER SUPPORT FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. SHE'S GOING TO HELP OUR LEADERS BUILD THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO TAKE ON VISION AND PLANNING AND BUILDING THEIR CAPACITY, BECAUSE, AS MANY OF THEM ARE SO INCREDIBLY COMMITTED TO THIS WORK, MANY OF THEM ARE GREEN, AND I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO BUILDING THEIR LEADERSHIP SKILLS. AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I PROVIDE CONTEXT. I AM LOOKING TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME ALONGSIDE ME SO THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO BE FULLY PRESENT IN OUR SCHOOLS, WALKING CLASSROOMS WITH OUR LEADERS AND MEETING WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK I DO ALIGNS TO THE CORE VALUES OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE YOU THE CONTEXT OF WHY THIS PERSON HAS MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE AND HOW WE CAN USE THEIR SKILLS TO SUPPORT YOUR POLICY WORK, TO SUPPORT SAFETY AND SECURITY, TO SUPPORT SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY, OUR COMMUNITY WORK THAT WE WANT TO DO AROUND STRATEGIC PLANNING AND TO HELP OUR ADMINISTRATORS GROW INTO THE LEADERS THAT THEY ALL WANT TO BE. SO THAT'S MY REPORT FOR THIS EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT, AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THAT CONTEXT. THANK YOU.

THAT'S MUCH APPRECIATED. OKAY, SO NOW MOVING ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE SIX PUBLIC

[15. PUBLIC COMMENT]

I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE LACK OF ACCESSIBLE AFTER SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT. WHILE THERE ARE MANY PROGRAMS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, THERE ARE FEWER OPTIONS DESIGNED FOR OLDER STUDENTS. ONCE THE SCHOOL DAY ENDS. MANY STUDENTS WANT PLACES TO FEEL SUPPORTED, INVOLVED, AND CONNECTED. BUT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AREN'T ALWAYS EASY TO ACCESS. AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS OFFER MORE THAN OFFER MORE THAN SUPERVISION. THEY PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, CREATIVE OUTLETS, AND POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEERS AND MENTORS. THEY CAN HELP STUDENTS FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO THEIR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES WHILE BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION. WITH THIS, I'VE REACHED OUT TO MISTER SIDES, THE PRINCIPAL AT EL DORADO HIGH

[01:00:04]

SEEING THE IMPACT THAT EVEN ONE SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT CAN HAVE ON STUDENTS HAS SHOWN ME HOW IMPORTANT THESE PROGRAMS TRULY ARE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT TO CONSIDER CREATING AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE TO LOOK INTO HOW A DEDICATED MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL CENTER WOULD BECOME A REALITY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

MY GOAL FOR TODAY IS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TO ENCOURAGE STRONGER PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND FAMILIES SO THAT MORE OPPORTUNITIES CAN BE CREATED FOR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT. I HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE WORKING TOWARD GIVING ALL STUDENTS MORE SPACES WHERE THEY CAN LEARN, GROW, AND FEEL SUPPORTED BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, AUTUMN AND I DID. I'M SURE THE REST OF YOU DID. RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL WITH YOUR FLIER, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANKS. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BUCK, TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT KIM.

MY NAME IS SAM AND I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT TO URGE THE USD TO FORMALLY ASSIST THE CALIFORNIA STATE JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S INVESTIGATION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. THIS AUDIT MATTERS TO US BECAUSE COUNTY AUTHORIZATION IS BEING USED TO IMPOSE CHARTER SCHOOLS ON LOCAL DISTRICTS OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF ELECTED SCHOOL BOARDS.

TAXPAYERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THOSE IMPOSED CHARTERS COST AND WHAT THEY TAKE AWAY FROM NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. RIGHT NOW IN PEEL, USD TWO CHARTER SCHOOLS OCCUPY PART OF THE ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS. WE SHOULD BE MEASURING THE IMPACT ON STUDENTS LOST SPACE, SHIFTED STAFFING AND DIVERTED RESOURCES. AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A FULL PUBLIC ACCOUNTING OF WHAT? LAST YEAR'S FIASCO AT THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE COST OUR DISTRICT IN LEGAL FEES, STAFF TIMES, AND MATERIALS. HERE'S WHY THE STAKES ARE SO HIGH. THE CURRENT BOARD MAJORITY OF THE COUNTY IS THE PRODUCT OF YEARS OF ORGANIZING AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVESTED BY MARK BOOKER AND THE CALIFORNIA POLICY CENTER.

BOOKER ALONE GAVE NEARLY $150,000 TO THESE FIVE MEMBERS. CHARTER PAC'S ADDED ABOUT $500,000, AND OTHER REPUBLICAN PARTY AFFILIATED GROUPS CONTRIBUTED ROUGHLY $650,000.

THE RESULT IS AN OC BOARD OF EDUCATION THAT PRIORITIZES DIVERTING PUBLIC DOLLARS INTO CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT ARE UNACCOUNTABLE TO LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THIS IS A BREATHTAKING MISUSE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, AND IT IS PRECISELY WHY THE STATE AUDIT IS UNDERWAY.

JUST CONSIDER A FEW EXAMPLES FOCUSED ONLY ON LEGAL FEES AND RELATED EXPENSES. LEGAL SPENDING REPORTEDLY ROSE FROM ABOUT 50,000 A YEAR TO MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION IN THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. COSTS ALONE IN HOUSE COUNSEL WAS REPLACED WITH A BAY AREA BASED BOARD ATTORNEY BUILDING $400 AN HOUR, PLUS 4.5 HOURS OF TRAVEL TIME PER MEETING. THAT IS ABOUT $3,600. JUST TO GET HIM BACK AND FORTH TO ORANGE COUNTY. THAT SAME ATTORNEY BUILT ABOUT $19,000 FOR A WASHINGTON, D.C. LOBBYING TRIP SEEKING ADDITIONAL CHARTER SUBSIDIES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND CHARGED TAXPAYERS FOR AN $827 A NIGHT LUXURY SUITE. TAXPAYERS WERE BILLED $720. MOREOVER, FOR A WATER GRILL DINNER REFUNDED ONLY AFTER PUBLIC SCRUTINY.

UNTIL RECENTLY, ORANGE COUNTY TAXPAYERS PAID THIS ATTORNEY AROUND $640,000 ANNUALLY FOR WHAT WAS A VERY PART TIME JOB. TONIGHT, I'M ASKING USD TO SUBMIT A FORMAL PUBLIC REPORT TO THE STATE AUDITOR, DOCUMENT OUR DIRECT COSTS, OUR STAFF TIME, OUR FACILITY IMPACTS, AND OUR INSTRUCTIONAL DIVERSIONS TIED TO IMPOSED CHARTERS AND OCB ACTIONS. I'VE ALREADY PROVIDED PRESIDENT BUCK AND TRUSTEE ANDERSON A SEPARATE LETTER WITH CONCRETE STEPS IN THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS. THIS IS ABOUT BUILDING A FUTURE THAT IS BOTH SUSTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TAXPAYERS. THANK YOU. JOCELYN IS NEXT. AND THEN AFTER JOCELYN, WE HAVE JUSTIN, ALLISON AND LINDA. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JOCELYN WILLIAMS. MY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND I ARE GRATEFUL TO THE COALITION OF STUDENTS FROM LOCAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR

[01:05:02]

THE STUDENTS ACKNOWLEDGE THE SERIOUSNESS OF TODAY'S CHALLENGES WHILE REMAINING OPTIMISTIC. REDUCING ATMOSPHERIC CARBON TOWARD 350 PARTS PER MILLION IS ACHIEVABLE BY DECARBONIZING ELECTRICITY, IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY, ELECTRIFYING TRANSPORTATION, RESTORING ECOSYSTEMS, AND IMPROVING SOIL HEALTH. THESE ARE NOT ONLY ENVIRONMENTAL PRIORITIES, THEY ARE FOUNDATIONS OF THE FUTURE ECONOMY. TEACHING STUDENTS HOW THESE SOLUTIONS WORK AND HOW TO EVALUATE THEM PREPARES THEM FOR THE JOBS AND CIVIC LEADERSHIPS.

THE COMING DECADES WILL DEMAND. MY FAMILY AND I THANK THE YOUNG LEADERS OF PYLUSD FOR THEIR COURAGE, COMMITMENT AND VISION. PROGRAMS INSPIRED BY THIS RESOLUTION CAN BECOME A MODEL FOR OTHER DISTRICTS AND HELP ESTABLISH OURS AS A LEADER IN A MEANINGFUL ACADEMIC INNOVATION.

WE ALSO THANK TRUSTEES BUCK QUINTERO AND ANDERSON AND STUDENT BOARD MEMBER SIMRAN VASWANI FOR THEIR SUPPORT. THIS RESOLUTION IS ABOUT BUILDING BOTH A SUSTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE FUTURE. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. REGARDING THE ISSUE OF BOYS BEING ALLOWED IN GIRLS BATHROOM WHILE WE ARE WITNESSING IN OUR SCHOOLS IS NOT SIMPLY A POLICY DEBATE ANYMORE. IT IS A GRADUAL NORMALIZATION, A SLOW ACCEPTANCE OF SOMETHING MANY PARENTS, STUDENTS AND ESPECIALLY YOUNG GIRLS KNOW IN THEIR HEARTS IS WRONG. THE GIRLS WHO HAVE SPOKEN UP HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING PAINFUL. THEY WILL BE IGNORED. FATHERS WHO HAVE RAISED CONCERNS HAVE LEARNED THE SAME LESSON, AND MOTHERS ARE NOW BEING FORCED INTO A POSITION WHERE THEY TELL THEIR DAUGHTERS TO AVOID THEIR OWN RESTROOMS AND INSTEAD USE OFFICE OR STAFF BATHROOMS JUST TO FEEL SAFE OR COMFORTABLE. CARRIE, MARILYN AND TRISHA. WHY ARE THE GIRLS EXPECTED TO ADJUST? WHY ARE THE GIRLS EXPECTED TO RELOCATE, STAY QUIET, OR SIMPLY GET USED TO IT? THAT IS NOT EQUALITY. AND FOR MANY FAMILIES, THE PRIDE FLAG HAS BECOME A REMINDER THAT THE RIGHTS OF ONE BOY ARE BEING PLACED ABOVE THE PRIVACY CONCERNS OF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF GIRLS. A SCHOOL'S RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PROTECT THE DIGNITY, PRIVACY AND SAFETY OF EVERY STUDENT, AND MANY FAMILIES FEEL THAT THE RIGHTS AND CONCERNS OF AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF GIRLS ARE BEING PUSHED ASIDE. WHILE ADMINISTRATORS AVOID DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS OUT OF FEAR OF CONTROVERSY. OUR YOUNG GIRLS SHOULD NEVER BE MADE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR WANTING PRIVACY. SO TONIGHT I'M ASKING THIS BOARD AND THIS COMMUNITY TO STOP DISMISSING THESE CONCERNS AS INSIGNIFICANT. STOP. STOP PRETENDING. FAMILIES RAISING THESE ISSUES ARE INVISIBLE. AND TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS, CONTINUE SPEAKING UP. YOUR VOICE MATTERS. KEEP SHOWING UP. KEEP ADVOCATING FOR YOUR CHILDREN. BECAUSE PROTECTING KIDS SHOULD NEVER BECOME CONTROVERSIAL. IS THERE AN ALLISON? OKAY, YOU'RE NEXT.

ALLISON. AND THEN MRS. COHEN. HI, I'M ALLISON LEVY, AND MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TWO KIDS IN

[01:10:05]

POLICY, SUPREME COURT DECISIONS, AND THE CONSTITUTION. THIS BOARD MAJORITY BY YOUR SUPPORT OF BIOLOGICAL BOYS PLAYING IN GIRLS SPORTS HAS FALLEN IN LINE WITH SACRAMENTO. HOWEVER, YOU ARE UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR A POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF TITLE NINE. GIVEN THAT, I ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON PILLIODS PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH POLICY? LET ME BE VERY SPECIFIC. FEDERAL POLICY IS VERY CLEAR ON GENDER AFFIRMING CARE. THE DOJ AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ARE CHALLENGING THE EFFICACY OF THAT CARE. THEIR INVESTIGATION HAS FOCUSED ON DOCTOR JOHANNA OLSON-KENNEDY, THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF LOS ANGELES CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S NOW CLOSED GENDER CLINIC. OLSON-KENNEDY RECENT RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GENDER AFFIRMING CARE IN THE MENTAL HEALTH OF CHILDREN HAS NEVER BEEN MADE PUBLIC. LET THAT SINK IN. NEVER BEEN MADE PUBLIC, HOWEVER, OLSON-KENNEDY WAS THE LEAD SPEAKER AT A SACRAMENTO HEARING ON APRIL THE 6TH. OUR LEGISLATURE HAS ALLOCATED $26 MILLION TO ASSURE THE CALIFORNIA CHILDREN WILL HAVE ACCESS TO GENDER AFFIRMING CARE.

THIS IS A DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO FEDERAL POLICY. IT IS, HOWEVER, IN DIRECT ALIGNMENT

[21. PRESENTATIONS ]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BUCK. I'M GOING TO TURN OVER THE AGENDA TO DOCTOR JOHN PAPPALARDO, WHO IS GOING TO INTRODUCE THE NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM PRESENTATION. AND OUR SPEAKER, SUZANNE, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING AS WELL. THANK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DOCTOR KIM, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE SUZANNE MORALES, OUR DIRECTOR OF NUTRITION SERVICES, WHO'S GOING TO GIVE US A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR PROGRAM. PRESIDENT BUCK, TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE CABINET DOCTOR KIM, I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT. TONIGHT, I WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF OUR NUTRITION SERVICES PROGRAM, OUR GOALS, PROGRESS, AND THE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS THAT WE'VE MADE TO BETTER SERVE OUR STUDENTS. OUR WORK IS CENTERED AROUND THREE KEY GOALS DELIVERING. TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE. OUR WORK IS CENTERED AROUND THREE KEY GOALS DELIVERING NUTRITIOUS, APPEALING MEALS STUDENTS WANT TO EAT, SUPPORTING AND DEVELOPING HIGH PERFORMING WORKFORCE THROUGH TRAINING AND ENSURING PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS. THESE PRIORITIES GUIDE OUR DAILY OPERATIONS AND LONG TERM PLANNING. IN 2022, FEDERAL MEAL FUNDING RETURNED TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS, WHILE CALIFORNIA BECAME THE FIRST TO IMPLEMENT UNIVERSAL FREE MEALS FOR ALL STUDENTS. THIS INVESTMENT HELPS ENSURE EVERY STUDENT HAS EQUAL ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS MEALS BECAUSE HUNGRY STUDENTS CAN'T LEARN. THIS SLIDE HIGHLIGHTS HOW MEAL FUNDING WORKS. FEDERAL AND STATE REIMBURSEMENTS COMBINE, SO NUTRITION SERVICES RECEIVES THE SAME MEAL REIMBURSEMENT REGARDLESS OF STUDENTS ECONOMIC STATUS. CURRENTLY, REIMBURSEMENT FOR LUNCH IS $5.69, AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR EACH BREAKFAST SERVED IS $3.94. THESE MEAL REIMBURSEMENTS SUPPORT THE ENTIRE NUTRITION SERVICES OPERATION, INCLUDING FOOD PACKAGING, DELIVERY, KITCHEN EQUIPMENT, KITCHEN EQUIPMENT, MAINTENANCE TRUCKS, FUEL, VEHICLE SERVICING, LABOR BENEFITS, CULINARY TRAINING, ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMPLIANCE COSTS. IT'S GOOD TO NOTE THAT SCHOOL NUTRITION FUND IS COMPLETELY SELF-SUFFICIENT AND RELIES ON NO ONGOING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, PARTICIPATION IS CRITICAL FOR US. WE COMPARE PARTICIPATION TO ENROLLMENT IN THIS SLIDE. NUTRITION SERVICES IS PROUD THAT OUR DAILY PARTICIPATION HAS BEEN RISING OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. DESPITE DECLINING ENROLLMENT. WE SERVE MORE THAN 15,000 MEALS PER DAY. WE ARE PROUD TO SERVE MORE STUDENTS, BUT WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. WE REGULARLY ANALYZE PARTICIPATION TRENDS BY SCHOOL SITE TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO ACCESS AND PARTICIPATION, ENSURING EVERY STUDENT HAS THE

[01:20:03]

I'M ALSO EXCITED TO SHARE THAT WE APPLIED FOR THE LATEST ROUND OF KIT FUNDS AND WAS JUST AWARDED LAST THURSDAY, AN ADDITIONAL $487,000 TO CONTINUE EXPANDING KITCHEN IMPROVEMENTS AND STAFF TRAINING SUPPORT OF HEALTHIER HOUSE MADE MEALS FOR STUDENTS. SUPPORTING MINIMALLY PROCESSED. WE'RE INTENTIONALLY MOVING TOWARD MORE MINIMALLY PROCESSED AND SCRATCH MADE FOODS TO PROVIDE HEALTHIER, BETTER TASTING MEALS THAT STUDENTS ENJOY. BECAUSE MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS DO NOT HAVE FACILITIES OR HEALTH PERMITS FOR FULL PREPARATION, OUR DISTRICT OPERATES WHAT I'D LIKE TO CALL A DECENTRALIZED KITCHEN. OUR HOT ENTREES ARE MADE AT EL DORADO, OUR COLD PRODUCTION OF DAILY SALADS AND SALADS AND SANDWICHES ARE CURRENTLY AT ESPERANZA, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE THAT PRODUCTION TO YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL AS WE CREATE A BAKERY AT ESPERANZA HIGH SCHOOL BY INSTALLING INDUSTRIAL ROTARY OVENS FOR SCRATCH MADE BREADS AND BAKERY ITEMS. WHILE EACH OF OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO COOK ON SITE FOR THEIR STUDENTS, THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR 100% SCRATCH COOKING. THE VALENCIA KITCHEN EXPANSION IS CRITICAL TO IMPROVING STUDENT ACCESS AND EQUITY WHILE SUPPORTING HEALTHIER, MINIMALLY PROCESSED MEALS. CURRENTLY, THE KITCHEN SERVES APPROXIMATELY 800 STUDENTS DURING A SINGLE 30 MINUTE LUNCH, WHICH USES ONE OVEN AND LIMITED HEATING EQUIPMENT, CREATING CAPACITY CHALLENGES. AFTER MOVING FROM TWO LUNCHES TO ONE, EXPANDING THE KITCHEN WILL INCREASE COOKING CAPACITY, IMPROVE SERVICE SPEED AND STUDENT ACCESS TO BETTER SUPPORT SCRATCH COOKING AND HEALTHIER MENU OPTIONS. DUE TO A RECENT USDA VERY RECENT USDA FACILITY FLEXIBILITIES AND A STRONG FUND 13 RESERVE, WE ARE PROPOSING TO THE USDA TO FULLY FUND THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS STUDENT NUTRITION AND MEAL QUALITY. WE'RE HOPING FOR A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT'S NEEDS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO EXPAND HOUSEMADE AND SCRATCH COOKING MENU ITEMS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. CURRENTLY, WE USE OUR OWN GLUTEN FREE GRANOLA, WHICH WAS FEATURED AT THE SHAMROCK AND RUN BACK IN MARCH. WE HAVE HOUSE MADE BARBECUE SAUCE. WE ROAST OUR OWN VEGETABLES EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONLY ONE TILT SKILLET. WE DO FLATBREAD PIZZAS AT ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS. WE FRESH BAKE MANY OF OUR BAKED GOODS, AND OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL RAMEN BAR FEATURES HOUSE MADE RAMEN BROTH.

THESE MEALS IMPROVE STUDENT SATISFACTION, KEEP MENUS CURRENT AND ON TREND, AND MEET STRICT NUTRITION STANDARDS. WE'RE ALSO DEVELOPING ADDITIONAL ITEMS SUCH AS HOUSE MADE MUFFINS AND COFFEE CAKE, EGG BITES, AND EXPANDING OUR ROASTED VEGETABLE OFFERINGS TO ELEMENTARIES TO INCREASE STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND CONSUMPTION. TO SUPPORT THIS WORK, WE'VE LAUNCHED CHEF LED COOK COOKING TRAINING SERIES FOCUSED ON RECIPE DEVELOPMENT, KNIFE SKILLS AND COOKING FUNDAMENTALS FOR OUR STAFF. THESE TRAININGS STRENGTHEN STAFF SKILLS, BUILD CONFIDENCE AND IMPROVE MEAL QUALITY DISTRICT WIDE. ENGAGING STUDENTS IS ALSO A MAJOR FOCUS FOR US. WE'RE STRIVING FOR STUDENT CENTERED MEALS. WE'RE BUILDING ON SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES TO INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOLS. WE INVOLVE STUDENTS THROUGH TASTE TESTING AT ALL GRADE LEVELS. HARVEST OF THE MONTH FEATURING LOCAL ORGANIC PRODUCE WHERE STUDENTS ARE CONNECTING LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THE CAFETERIA, ELEMENTARY STUDENT CHEF COMPETITIONS, AND MOST RECENTLY, I WAS ABLE TO PARTNER WITH OUR CULINARY PATHWAYS PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A UNIT WHERE WE CAN TEACH STUDENTS FEDERAL AND STATE REQUIRED MEAL COMPLIANCE, DEVELOP NUTRITIONALLY ADEQUATE

[01:25:03]

THAT'S LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY, WHERE THEY DO NOT SERVE BREAKFAST, HOWEVER, BEFORE THE BELL. SO IT'S NOT REALLY SECOND CHANCE, BUT IT'S DONE AT THE THE NUTRITION BREAK RECESS TIME.

WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK ARE YOU GETTING FROM THERE? WHAT ARE YOU SEEING AS THE NUMBER COMPARATIVELY? HOW MANY KIDS ARE EATING THAT WITH THAT OPTION? SO THE LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY IS OUR HIGH IS ONE OF OUR HIGHEST PARTICIPATIONS IN BREAKFAST BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE THERE ON CAMPUS, THERE IS GOOD AND BAD ON ON BOTH SIDES, I'LL BE HONEST. SO LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY DOES SEE A HIGH PARTICIPATION IN BREAKFAST, BUT THE CONCERN CAN BE DO CHILDREN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET THE WIGGLES OUT? WHEREAS THE BREAKFAST BEFORE THE BELL CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO COME AND AND RECEIVE BREAKFAST. WE HAVE GOOD FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO HAVE THEIR STUDENTS THERE EARLIER. HOWEVER, THERE'S ALWAYS A GROUP OF PARENTS WHO CAN'T GET THEIR STUDENTS TO TO SCHOOL EARLY ENOUGH FOR BREAKFAST. SO I THINK IT IS A CHALLENGE EITHER WAY, WHETHER YOU DO IT BEFORE THE BELL OR AT THE NUTRITION BREAK, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A RIGHT ANSWER, BUT IT KIND OF WE SEE BOTH OF THEM HERE. THANK YOU FOR THAT. MY QUESTION IS ON PROTECTED TIME FOR LUNCH, ESPECIALLY TO EAT. SINCE MY GRANDKIDS WERE LIVING WITH ME, THEY WERE KIND OF SKIPPING LUNCH AND JUST TO PLAY. AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROTECTIVE TIME SO THAT THEY CAN EAT AND PLAY SO THAT THEY'RE NOT, THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE GO PLAY AND SKIP EATING. AND THEN COMING HOME FAMISHED. IS THERE SOMETHING HOW WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE? SO THE TIME TO EAT HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING THROUGH MANY OF OUR STATE SUPERINTENDENTS AND REQUIRING TIME TO EAT. WE CURRENTLY FOLLOW THE SCHOOL SCHEDULES PUT TOGETHER BY OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR MASTER SCHEDULES. IN TALKING WITH THE STATE ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC CONCERN, THE CAUTION WAS MADE THAT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO TIME OR SAY THEY MUST HAVE 30 MINUTES OF SEAT TIME, OR THEY MUST HAVE 20 MINUTES OF SEAT TIME, BECAUSE EVERY SCHOOL THERE IS NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL. IT IS REALLY DONE BY SCHOOL SITE, AND I THINK OUR PRINCIPALS ARE BEST EQUIPPED TO SEE THEIR, THEIR, THEIR STAFF, I WOULD SAY THEIR STAFF, BUT ALSO THEIR PARTICIPATION TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. THAT IS NOT DETERMINED BY NUTRITION SERVICES. BUT I THINK IT'S A THOUGHTFUL PROCESS AS THEY DO

[01:30:04]

I DIDN'T SAY THAT. OKAY. I SAID, WE'RE HOPING. WE'RE HOPING WE'RE YOU'RE HOPEFUL. THERE WAS A WORD THERE THAT I WAS LIKE, OH, OKAY. SO THE USDA HAS RECENTLY TAKEN ON SOME OF THE FUNDING AND SAID, WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY THE WAY THAT CURRENTLY PRIOR TO THIS AND THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT THE EASIEST WAY TO EXPLAIN FUND 13 IS WE CAN BUY THE FURNITURE, BUT WE CAN'T BUY THE HOUSE. SO WE CAN BUY THE SINK, BUT WE CAN'T DO THE PLUMBING DUE TO THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN MANY OF OUR KITCHENS THROUGHOUT THE U.S.

AND THE GOAL OF THE CURRENT DGAS OR THE DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS TO EAT REAL FOOD AND REDUCE PROCESSING, ETC. WE'VE REALLY AS NUTRITION ACROSS THE UNION, ACROSS THE UNITED STATES HAVE LOOKED AT INFRASTRUCTURE AND MANY OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THAT COOKING. SO THE USDA HAS SAID WE MIGHT GIVE YOU SOME FLEXIBILITY BY UTILIZING FUND 13 TO MAYBE BUILD PART OF THE HOUSE. YOU CAN STILL BUY THE FURNITURE, YOU CAN'T BUY THE HOUSE. AND HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, HOWEVER, WITH THE STATE DIRECTOR, I WAS AT A CONFERENCE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO AND HAVING A CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE SEND THAT TO THE STATE, THE STATE THEN SENDS IT TO THE USDA FOR APPROVAL. THEY'RE NOT APPROVING A LOT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE STATE ISN'T DOING THE APPROVALS. THE USDA IS, BUT WHY NOT TRY IS WHERE I'M AT. SO WHAT WE THOUGHT IS THAT IF WE NOW HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR DUCKS IN A ROW, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE THEY WILL ASK FOR PLANS, THEY'LL ASK FOR ALL THOSE, THEY'LL ASK FOR BIDS, THEY'LL ASK FOR ALL OF THOSE THINGS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND SO AGAIN, I'M OF THE POSITION OF WHY NOT TRY OUR KIT FUNDS? I THE WAY THEY EXPLAINED OUR LAST ROUND OF KIT FUNDS IS SAID, IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF FUND BALANCE, THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GOING TO RECEIVE NEW FUNDING. AND YET WE DID. AND SO I ALWAYS SAY, WHY NOT TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN FUND THIS TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT WE HAVE THAT I JUST RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THAT THE REGULATIONS ARE, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO JUST WRITE A CHECK. I HAVE TO GET APPROVAL. GOT IT. SO IT'S AN APPROVAL FROM USDA THROUGH THE STATE TO THE USDA. SO CORRECT. I GUESS I WAS I WAS WONDERING MORE ABOUT TIMELINE. I DON'T KNOW, JOHN, IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS AT ALL OR BUT JUST CURIOUS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. LIKE WHEN HAVE THEY APPROVED ANYBODY YET? DO WE KNOW? I'M NOT SURE THEY'VE APPROVED. I JUST KNOW THAT THEY'VE NOT APPROVED A LOT. BUT THE FLEXIBILITIES ARE OUT THERE.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE INFORMATION I GOT FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR. AND I'M 100% LIKE, YEAH, TRY. ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT'S KIND OF MY THOUGHT IS WHY NOT TRY? AND I JUST JUMP IN AND SAY THAT THE VALENCIA KITCHEN PROJECT IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. IT GOES THROUGH SUMMER OF 27. SO AT ANY TIME DURING THAT TIME, IF THE USDA COMES BACK AND SAYS, APPROVED, WE HAVE EVERYTHING AND THE FOOD SERVICE FUND CAN THEN FUND IT. AND SO WE CAN WE CAN FUND IT UP FRONT. AND THEN IF APPROVED, WE CAN GO BACK AND FUND IT, THE REFUND IT BECAUSE IT'S BUILT INTO THE BUDGET CURRENTLY. CORRECT THE PROJECT. SO IT WOULD JUST BE A BONUS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT. YES. AND THAT'S JUST RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST 3 TO 6. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH.

AND WHAT AND YOU SAID 800 KIDS AT VALENCIA. AND SO WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS SO HOW IS VALENCIA? CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO EVERYONE HOW VALENCIA IS GETTING THEIR FOOD NOW? BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT YOU HAVE THESE HUBS AT THESE OTHER SCHOOLS. THINGS ARE GETTING DELIVERED. SO WHAT IS VALENCIA DOING NOW? SO THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW BETWEEN VALENCIA AND THE OTHER THREE SCHOOL SITES IS VALENCIA KITCHEN HAS ONE WARM, ONE ROAST AND HOLD, WE CALL IT, WHICH WARMS. WE HAVE SOME WARMERS. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE ONE OVEN, ONE DOUBLE STACK OVEN. THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 6 DOUBLE STACK OVENS. AND SO CAPACITY WISE, TO BE ABLE TO COOK FOR THE ONE LUNCH IS THERE. PRIOR YEARS WE'VE HAD TWO LUNCHES. LAST YEAR WE HAD TWO LUNCHES AND WEDNESDAYS WE HAD ONE LUNCH. WE SAW A 200 MEAL DROP EVERY WEDNESDAY. SO WE WERE VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS YEAR ON THAT DROP. AGAIN, WE'RE ONLY FEEDING ABOUT 800. IN PAST YEARS, WE'VE FELT FED CLOSER TO 1200 STUDENTS, WHICH IS ABOUT HALF THE POPULATION. AS YOU YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, ENROLLMENT LOOKS LIKE. AND THE CONCERN WE HAVE IS THAT THE ACCESS ISN'T THERE AND WE CAN'T COOK TO THE CAPACITY. AND SO WE DON'T RUN OUT OF FOOD. BUT I, I DO HAVE

[01:35:02]

VALENCIA'S KITCHEN IS TO COOK FOR VALENCIA STUDENTS. AND SO I'M GOING TO BE THAT PERSON WITH ALL OF THE THE TALK ABOUT THE NUTRITION AND STUFF, THE RAMEN NOODLES, AREN'T THEY LIKE COMPLETELY TOXIC? NO. SO NUTRITION SERVICE. AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE NUTRITION SERVICES IS HELD TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARD. THE FOODS AND THINGS THAT WE RECEIVE INTO THE KITCHENS ARE NOTHING. YOU CAN USUALLY BUY ON THE BUY ON THE SHELF. OUR RAMEN NOODLES ARE WHOLE GRAIN AND THEY ARE. THE INGREDIENT DECK IS VERY SMALL. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME AND CHECK OUT OUR INGREDIENT DECKS AT ANY TIME FOR OUR OUR ITEMS. AND THEN THE.

THIS IS MY BOSS. SORRY, I APOLOGIZE. NO. AND THEN AS FAR AS LIKE THE KIDS SUGAR INTAKE, IF WE'RE MAKING COOKIES AND DESSERTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, IS THAT SOMETHING. SO WE ACTUALLY DON'T MAKE COOKIES AND DESSERTS. ACTUALLY, WE HAVE TAKEN THEM OFF OF MOST EXCEPT FOR ONE AT THE. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU. WE HAD A BLUE STAR COOKIE, BUT WE DO. WE DON'T ACTUALLY PUT THOSE SWEETS AND THINGS ON OUR TRAYS BECAUSE WE FOUND WITH UNIVERSAL MEALS, CHILDREN SITTING AT IN THE LUNCH AREA WILL SEE THE COOKIE COME AND GET A COMPLETE LUNCH, TAKE THE COOKIE OFF AND THROW THE ENTIRE LUNCH AWAY WHEN WE SAW THAT. AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SEE EVEN REDUCED FAT CHIPS, OR YOU DON'T SEE THOSE KIND OF ONE GRAB THINGS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT CHILDREN PARTICIPATE BECAUSE THEY'RE HUNGRY OR THEY LIKE OUR FOOD, NOT FOR THE TREAT. SO THOSE AREN'T GOING ON THERE. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO FROM THE BAKERY ITEMS IS WE WILL MAKE WHOLE GRAIN MUFFINS WE'RE DOING. WE HAVE A LEMON BREAD THAT WE CURRENTLY MAKE, AGAIN WITH WHOLE GRAIN FLOUR. THE REDUCED SUGAR ARE USDA REQUIREMENTS ON SUGAR INTAKE HAVE DECREASED AND WILL GO INTO FULL EFFECT IN 2028. WE ARE REDUCED SODIUM.

WE'RE VERY RESTRICTED ON WHAT WE CAN OFFER STUDENTS. AND AGAIN, EVEN OUR CEREALS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY LOOK LIKE, WELL, THEY ARE KELLOGG'S CEREALS. WE'VE I'VE ACTUALLY SAT IN A ROOM WITH KELLOGG'S WHO SAID, HOW CAN WE BETTER SUPPORT YOU? AND OUR COMMENT WAS, MAKE THE CEREALS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR LINES. THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR SCHOOLS. THEY SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE SHELF. AND THEY SAID, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SELL THEM. SO YOU CANNOT GET MANY OF THOSE ITEMS, WHICH IS WHY WE GET FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS ON THIS TASTES DIFFERENT. IT'S BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT. YEAH. EVEN JUST MAYBE EXPLAIN THE PAPA JOHN'S IS DIFFERENT. SO PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA WE DO RECEIVE FROM PAPA JOHN'S. WE PUT OUR ORDERS IN WELL IN ADVANCE BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE WHOLE GRAIN SPECIFIC DOUGH THAT IS SCHOOL COMPLIANT.

IT'S LOW FAT CHEESE, LOW SODIUM TOMATO SAUCE, AND LOW FAT PEPPERONI. AND IT'S A PART SKIM, LOW FAT MOZZARELLA. I WILL TELL YOU THE REASON WE DON'T ADVERTISE THAT PREVALENTLY IS I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO ADVERTISE ON OUR MENU. I THOUGHT, LET ME ADVERTISE TO PARENTS. SO WE USE A MINI TURKEY CORN DOG. PERFECT EXAMPLE. WE PUT MINI TURKEY CORN DOGS IN. THE KIDS LOVE THEM. I DID NOT CHANGE THE ITEM. WHAT I DID IS I PUT LOW FAT, WHOLE GRAIN MINI TURKEY, CORN DOGS AND THE KIDS. I WAS OUT OF SCHOOL. THESE ARE GROSS. WE WANT THE OTHER ONES. I DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. THE PARENTS LOVE THEM, BUT I REALIZED WHO AM I MARKETING TO AT THE TIME OF I NEED TO MARKET TO THE STUDENT. YEAH. SO IT'S THAT FUN BALANCE. WELL THAT'S GOOD. AND I WILL SAY THAT 16 YEAR OLD ANDREW WOULD BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERSON SITTING HERE WHO LOVED THE TACO BELL BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE CAN'T HAVE THOSE ANYMORE. UNFORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND TOLD ME THE SAME THING. HE ALWAYS LIKED THE BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS WITH A SODA. YEAH, THE CHIMICHANGAS THAT WERE DEEP FRIED. SO YES, YES. SO 16 YEAR OLD ANDREW'S APPALLED RIGHT NOW, BUT HEY, LUCKILY I JUST HAD A QUESTION. AS IN TIMING AT VALENCIA FOR THE ONE LUNCH. ARE YOU SERVING FROM BELL TO BELL? LIKE, ARE THERE STUDENTS COMING UP AT THE LAST BELL THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SERVED YET? SO IT'S INTERESTING YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE WE'VE DONE SOME TIMING STUDIES AT MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS. AND WHAT WE DO IS WE KIND OF STEP BACK AND PICK A STUDENT THAT'S AT THE END OF THE LINE AND WE GO, LET'S SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES THAT PERSON TO GET

[01:40:04]

WE NOW HAVE A ROLLING CART THAT WE OPENED UP. WE'RE LOOKING TO OPEN UP A SECOND ONE THAT HAS.

AND WE ACTUALLY INCREASED OUR MEALS BY 98 ON AN AVERAGE. BUT YES, THE LINES ARE LONG AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MITIGATE THAT WITH ADDITIONAL. THIS REMODEL OVER AT VALENCIA TURNS OUR TWO LINES INTO FOUR, WHICH WE CAN GET STUDENTS THROUGH DOUBLY QUICK WHEN WE'RE FINISHED WITH THE COMPLETE REMODEL. THAT'S THE GOAL. SO I'VE ACTUALLY VOLUNTEERED AND SERVED FOOD OUT OF VALENCIA. IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS, BUT HOW FAST THINGS GO AND THE TEENY LITTLE SPACE. AND IT'S A DANCE TO GET THROUGH TO GET FOOD OUT. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, PLEASE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO AT LUNCH. IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT LINES ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S ORGANIZED CHAOS. IT TRULY IS. IT LOOKS LIKE AN ORGANIZED DANCE. IT IS TOTALLY CHOREOGRAPHED, AND MY CONCERN IS JUST GOING FROM 1200 TO 800.

AND THIS IS OUR SCHOOL WHERE WE TYPICALLY HAVE OUR HIGHEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT NEED THE THE FOOD. AND SO I AM HAPPY WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. AND I'M REALLY CROSSING MY FINGERS TOO, THAT THE USDA WILL PAY US PAY FOR IT. OKAY. THANK YOU SUZANNE. THANK YOU. OKAY. THAT MOVES US

[16. CONSENT CALENDAR]

IT'S NOW THREE. AND THAT THERE'S LIKE SOME ACTUAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE KITCHEN NEEDS AN UPGRADE, HOW IT'S AFFECTING STUDENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO I THINK THE BETTER UNDERSTANDING IS, IS REALLY KEY. SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR DOING THAT. APPRECIATE IT.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT. SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR THE CONSENT CALENDAR SECOND. OH I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE A MOTION, BUT I GUESS I DID. I'LL TAKE ONE. THAT'S OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. MOTION BY MISS BUCKS I MR. FRAZIER ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I, I I AND GET A 5.50 AND A PLUS ONE FROM

[22. ACTION ITEMS - GENERAL FUNCTIONS]

ONLY. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO REVISE BOARD. YEAH. CAN WE DO THEM ALL TOGETHER OR. 22.1 TO 22.5 BECAUSE IT'S ALL FOOD. WE CAN. DOES ANYBODY WANT SPECIFICALLY TO TALK ABOUT. I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS IN A FEW OF THEM, BUT WE CAN JUST DO WE CAN DO IT ALL TOGETHER. WE CAN DO THEM ALL TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR 22.1 TO REVISE BOARD POLICY.

3543542 FOR SERVICES. FIRST READING 3542.1 FOR FOOD SERVICES. PURPOSE AND FACILITIES. FIRST READING 3523542.231 COMPETITIVE FOOD SALES FIRST READING REVISED BOARD POLICY 3542.31 FREE AND REDUCED PRICE MEALS FIRST READING AND REVISED BOARD POLICY 3542.4 BEVERAGE SALES AND USE FIRST READING SECOND. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MRS. BLADE, SECOND BY MR. FRAZIER AND DOCTOR KIM. I'LL PASS IT TO YOU TO START WITH OUR LIST. SO BEFORE I HAND THIS OVER TO DOCTOR PAPPALARDO, I WILL JUST POINT OUT THANK YOU FOR THE EFFICIENCY PIECE. THE. THERE HAS BEEN 22 YEARS PASSED SINCE THE LAST REVISION ON ANY OF THESE FOOD POLICIES, AND THE FOOD SALES POLICY, I WILL POINT OUT IS FROM 1980, BEFORE I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. SO MOST OF THESE ARE UPDATES TO MAKE THEM CURRENT TO PRACTICE TO

[01:45:03]

YEAH, I WAS JUST SAYING I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. IT'S JUST. WELL, I ACTUALLY DO ON THE FIRST ONE. 3542 INSTEAD OF A DIRECTOR, CAN WE SAY THE DIRECTOR? YES. OKAY.

AND THEN WE'VE KIND OF. AND THEN ON ITEM 22.33542.231, IT TALKS ABOUT ADULT ORGANIZATIONS.

AND I DIDN'T QUITE. I WAS LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH ADULT ORGANIZATIONS? IT'S ON THE.

LET'S SEE, IS THIS THE RIGHT ONE? COMPETITIVE FOOD SALES 22 COMPETITIVE FOOD SALES. AND IT'S ON. LET'S SEE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT PARAGRAPH IT'S IN. IT'S IN THE VERY LAST PARAGRAPH WHERE WE AUTHORIZE AND FOR COMPETITIVE, WE'RE IN VENDING MACHINES OR SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT OR STUDENT OR ADULT ORGANIZATION. WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? I SEE WHAT YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT. YEAH. SO SO VENDING VENDING MACHINES ARE AN INTERESTING CREATION THAT DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN HAD FOR MANY YEARS. AND SO SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL HAVE VENDING MACHINES ON CAMPUS THAT ARE LOCKED DURING THE DAY AND OPEN AFTERWARDS. THEY CAN BE RUN BY THE DISTRICT, BY ASB. SOME DISTRICTS HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CONTRACTED THEM OUT OR HAD THE HAD BOOSTER GROUPS OR PTA GROUPS RUN THEM TO MAKE THE MONEY. THERE'S BEEN DISTRICTS WHERE THEY'RE VENDING MACHINES MADE IN EXCESS OF $1 MILLION A YEAR. SO IT'S SORT OF A GENERIC, YOU KNOW, STATE POLICY. SO IT ALLOWS THE WHOLE GAMUT OF, OF RUNNING THESE. AND SOME OF THE TEACHERS LOUNGE, THEY HAVE THE VENDING MACHINES. SO IS THAT NO, NO, NO, I, I'M LIKE, BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE SODA. YES. BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ONE, IT SAYS IT'S SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT OR THE STUDENT. AND THEN IT SAYS ADULT ORGANIZATIONS. WOULD THAT BE LIKE A PTA? WOULD COULD WE EXCHANGE A SET OF ADULT. ABSOLUTELY. ORGANIZATIONS. I SEE, I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING OR OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS OR NONPROFIT. IT'S. IT JUST. ADULTS VERSUS CHILDREN? YES, I UNDERSTAND IT. JUST OKAY, WE CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. VENDING MACHINE. I'M STILL THERE. OKAY. AND THEN LET'S SEE IN 2342.31, IN THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH, IT TALKS ABOUT THE THE LAST SENTENCE, THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENTS INFORMATION WILL BE UPHELD WHEN THERE HAS BEEN APPLICATION. CAN WE PUT AN APPLICATION. I THINK IT WILL READS EASIER. AND THAT WAS IT OUT OF ALL OF THEM. THANK YOU. THAT'S PRETTY EASY. YEAH. I HOPE HER MIND IS EASY. MY SISTER WOULD DO THE SAME THING. SHE WOULD CORRECT ALL OF THE GRAMMAR. FOR SECOND READING. YEAH. OKAY. GREAT. COULD WE JUST WAIVE THE SECOND READING SO WE SHOULD BRING IT BACK STILL PUT THEM IN CONSENT? PUT THEM IN CONSENT FOR SECOND READING. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN. I THINK WE HAVE TO DO BOARD POLICY AND ACTION. FIND OUT.

FIND OUT. OKAY. SO LET'S TAKE A VOTE. SO AT LEAST CAN WE GET THROUGH FIRST READING? WHERE ARE WE? ARE WE VOTING YES FIRST, WE'RE VOTING FIRST READING ON THESE FIVE. OKAY. AND WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR FOR FIRST FOR ALL THOSE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, 55502. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. AND OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO PLUS ONE. NO COMMENTS ON THE THE SCHOOL FOOD OR. I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS. I MEAN

[01:50:02]

ARE YOU HAVING LOW BLOOD SUGAR? I MEAN, I DID, I WAS AT YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL FOR FRESHMAN YEAR AND I DIDN'T REALLY LUNCH THERE. BUT THE PIZZA WAS GOOD. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HEALTHY, I COULDN'T TELL. SO THERE YOU GO. AWESOME. OKAY. SOMETHING. ALL RIGHT. SO I'LL MOVE US NEXT TO OUR STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY. FIRST READING, COULD I, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE REVISE.

BOARD POLICY 6163.4 STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY. FIRST READING. I'LL. SECOND, IS IT POSSIBLE TO PULL THIS UP? MY THING IS NOT OPENING AT ALL. I'D LIKE TO PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T OPEN MY DETAILS. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND WHILE JEREMY WORKS ON THAT DOCTOR KIM, I'LL PASS TO YOU. THANK YOU. FROM OUR DESCRIPTION, THIS IS A REPLACEMENT. RATHER THAN REVISING, WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT ARE ALL BITS AND PIECES. AND THIS IS A MORE COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT AT THE POLICY. SO I'LL HAND IT OVER TO DOCTOR PAPPALARDO AND JEREMY POWELL. IF THEY HAVE COMMENTS AND OR ADDITIONAL CONTEXT THAT THEY'D LIKE TO PROVIDE. QUESTIONS. NO, I GOT IT RIGHT THERE. BUT HAS MY WITNESS THAT I CAN'T OPEN IT TOTALLY. WE'VE REBOOTED. I TOLD HER NOT TO THROW THE IPAD. I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE A TECHNOLOGY POLICY. OR WE HAVE THE FIRST READING NOW, SO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. SO THE ONLY CONTEXT REALLY TO ADD, SORRY, PRESIDENT BUCK, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DOCTOR KIM AND EXECUTIVE CABINET IS THIS IS REALLY BRINGING THIS SET OF POLICIES UP TO DATE WITH REGARDS TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CYBER SECURITY, SHARING OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, AND CYBER BULLYING. ANYBODY. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE FOR OUR FIRST READING. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE AYE. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO PLUS ONE. OKAY. MOTION FOR 22.7, PLEASE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE REVISED BOARD POLICY.

5114.2 SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION. DUE PROCESS. SECOND READING. I'LL SECOND. OKAY, DOCTOR KIM, ANY COMMENTS? THIS IS THE SECOND READING. YOU GUYS HAD A ROBUST CONVERSATION. WE GAVE YOU THE CONTEXT LAST TIME. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CERTAINLY MISS GRAY AND I CAN LEAN INTO THAT WITH DOCTOR PEDRAZA ALSO HELPED WITH THIS POLICY. BUT GIVEN THAT IT'S A SECOND READING, I'M GOING TO JUST LEAVE THE FLOOR OPEN TO YOU ALL. ANYONE? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THANKS FOR BOLDING. IT MADE IT A LOT SIMPLER TO READ. SO THANK YOU. OKAY.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO AND AN EYE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. 22.8. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT. REVISE BOARD POLICY 6163.2 ANIMALS AT SCHOOLS. SECOND READING. SECOND. ANOTHER FUN ONE. WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND FOR THIS GREAT POLICY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO. DOCTOR. I'LL JUST ASK YOU TO APPROVE IT BECAUSE IF YOU NOTICE, ESPERANZA'S ALREADY GOT THERAPY PUPPIES COMING, SO THEY NEED YOU GUYS TO APPROVE THIS TONIGHT. PUPPIES. I KNOW I WANT TO GO SO BAD. ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. AND MOTION CARRIES. FIVE ZERO WITH AN EYE FROM SIMRAN. OKAY, 22.9. PLEASE MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT. REVISE BOARD POLICY. 5141.52 SUICIDE PREVENTION. FIRST READING. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. DOCTOR KIM. THIS ONE I WILL HAND OVER TO MISS GRAY TO PROVIDE CONTEXT. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME CHANGES WITHIN THIS POLICY, AND HER TEAM REALLY DID DO THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THAT. THANK YOU. SO AS YOU KNOW, MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH AND IT'S REALLY TIMELY THAT WE'RE BRINGING THIS BOARD POLICY FORWARD BECAUSE IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE. SO AS YOU KNOW, MENTAL HEALTH AND STUDENT WELLNESS IS A MAJOR PRIORITY IN OUR SCHOOLS. AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT ONLY ACADEMIC SUCCESS, BUT IT'S ALSO STUDENTS FEELING SAFE, CONNECTED, AND SUPPORTED AND CARED FOR. SO TONIGHT'S FIRST READING IS FOR BOARD POLICY 5141.52 ON SUICIDE PREVENTION.

[01:55:03]

[02:00:01]

AND SO, I MEAN, IT GETS IT'S NOT JUST HIGH SCHOOL OR MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO ELEMENTARY. SO THAT'S A GREAT THING TO HAVE THERE FOR THEM. YES. AND WE'RE COLLECTING DATA ON THAT AS WELL TOO, TO KIND OF SEE WHERE THOSE TRENDS ARE. SO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE I MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO PLUS ONE. AND OUR LAST ITEM MAKE A MOTION TO AWARD RFP NUMBER

[23. ACTION ITEMS - BUSINESS SERVICES]

[02:05:07]

OH, IT'S ONLY 835. I CAN TALK ANOTHER 25 MINUTES. YES, MA'AM. ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PIECE WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE OUR STUDY SESSIONS WHERE WE GET INPUT FROM WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS WE NEED UPDATED OR? YES, THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PIECE IS REALLY WE LOOK AT IT BY SCHOOL SITE BECAUSE THE ARCHITECT WILL BE WORKING WITH EACH OF OUR SCHOOL SITE PRINCIPALS WHO WILL BE PUTTING TOGETHER A TEAM AT THE SITE, INCLUDING STAFF, TEACHERS, PARENTS WILL HAVE A FACILITIES MASTER PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH WE ENVISION BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MEMBERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL GET REGULAR UPDATES AND MEET REGULARLY THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

OUR GOAL IS TO GET TO EVERY FACET OF THIS COMMUNITY AS I'VE WORKED ON THEM. TYPICALLY, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SCHOOL TO REALLY TALK ABOUT LIKE WHAT'S WORKING, WHAT'S NOT, WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED, WHAT AREN'T WE SEEING? AND, AND TO ENGAGE WITH THE FIRM AND THE COMMITTEE TO REALLY GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING. BECAUSE THE MORE INPUT WE GET, THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE WE BRING. AS FAR AS LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND IT'LL BE BIG. IT'LL HAVE A BIG PRICE TAG, BUT IT'LL GIVE US A PLACE TO START TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS INTO THE FUTURE. SO THINGS IT'S LIKE IF A PARENT HAS A CONCERN ABOUT LIKE A PICK UP LINE OR THE WAY A DRIVEWAY IS PLACED. ABSOLUTELY. BOY, THAT IS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS.

AS I BEEN TO 30, 29 OF THE 34 SCHOOLS NOW ALMOST DONE, YOU KNOW, PICK UP AND DROP OFF. WE TALK ABOUT NUTRITION SERVICES. SUZANNE'S WAVING IN THE BACK AND AND, AND LINES AND, AND HOW WE PROVIDE SERVICES TO STUDENTS. SO IT IS COMPREHENSIVE. AND THIS WILL BE LIKE SECURITY AND SAFETY BECAUSE I THINK THAT I DON'T WANT TO SAY THIS OUT LOUD, BUT I'M GOING TO. WE'RE WE'RE LACKING SAFETY AND SECURITY IN THE, IN, IN 2026 IS, IS PARAMOUNT. AND I WILL SAY THAT WE ARE LACKING THAT WE ARE BEHIND THE TIMES. I SAID, IT'S BEEN OVER 25 YEARS SINCE WE HAD A FACILITIES MASTER PLAN. SO IT REALLY IS TIME TO LOOK AT THIS AND, AND DO A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW AND, AND GET THE PLAN TOGETHER. BECAUSE UNTIL YOU HAVE A PLAN, YOU REALLY CAN'T DO MUCH. AND WE CAN'T EVEN ASK FOR FUNDS UNTIL WE GET THIS. WE CAN'T EVEN ASK FOR FUNDS FROM THE STATE, MATCHING FUNDS FOR FOR MODERNIZATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. CORRECT. IT'S A NECESSITY. IS THERE A DEADLINE? AND WHEN WE CAN APPLY FOR THOSE FUNDS? WELL, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS ON STATE FUNDS IS THE LINE STARTS GETTING LONG AND AND THE FUNDS WILL GO AND THEN THERE'LL BE A NEW BOND. AND, AND THE STATE HAS RUN BONDS EVERY, YOU KNOW, FOUR ISH, 4 TO 5 YEARS WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF MONEY, THEN WE, THEY GO BACK TO THE STATE. STATE STARTS TALKING ABOUT IT AGAIN. SO SO THERE'S ALWAYS A LINE. THERE'S ALMOST ALWAYS FUNDS. SOMETIMES THERE'S A DELAY, A COUPLE YEAR DELAY. BUT WE CONTINUE WITH OUR FUNDING AND THE MATCHING FUNDS COME. SO OUR TIMELINE MATCHES IT THOUGH. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS DONE WITHOUT MISSING OUT ON THIS ROUND. HOPEFULLY I'M LOOKING BACK AT THE LPA PEOPLE. I'VE. I'VE LOST TRACK OF WHAT HOW LONG THE LINE CURRENTLY IS ON. COME ON UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND JOIN THE.

JOIN THE DISCUSSION. WHILE HE'S MOVING UP THERE. ONE OF THE CONTEXTS FOR ME THAT I JUST HAVE IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD IS, GIVEN WHAT ALL WE'VE GOTTEN FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AROUND WHERE THE ECONOMY HAS GONE, WHAT HAS BEEN PROJECTED VERSUS

[02:10:03]

BUT ONE PLACE WHERE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HELPING IS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THIS. SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT MAYBE THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE OF BENEFIT TO US. BUT AGAIN, I'M PROJECTING IN TERMS OF WHAT I WOULD DO LOGICALLY. AND WE'LL SEE IF, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THERE YOU GO. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BUCK. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS RICHARD MUSTO. MUSTO WITH LP. I'M A MANAGING DIRECTOR AND JAMELAO IS A. OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR IS HERE. HERE AS WELL. IN TERMS OF THE STATE FUNDING, I THINK MOST OF THE MODERNIZATION FUNDING THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2020 FOR. MOST OF THAT'S SPOKEN FOR, BUT THE DISTRICT OR THE OPS, THEY CONTINUE TO TAKE APPLICATIONS SO THEY CAN HOLD THOSE APPLICATIONS. AND THEN ONCE ANOTHER BOND IS PASSED AT THE STATE LEVEL, THEN THEY BACKFILL THAT IN. AND DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE IN LINE, THEY'LL FUND THAT NEED. YOU WON'T. YOU CAN GET IN LINE WITHOUT THIS APPROVED PROP TWO MASTER PLAN. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET FUNDED WITHOUT AN APPROVED BOARD ADOPTED, BUT IT WON'T PROHIBIT YOU FROM GETTING IN LINE. LET'S SAY YOU WERE READY TODAY OR TOMORROW LIKE YOUR FOOD SERVICE PROJECT. IF THAT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING, YOU COULD PUT THAT APPLICATION TOGETHER AND GET IN LINE, BUT YOU'D HAVE TO GET THE MASTER PLAN IN PLACE BOARD ADOPTED PRIOR TO ACTUALLY GETTING THAT FUNDED. SO I THINK YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS AT THE RIGHT TIME NOW. YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. SO. MY ONLY QUESTION IS, ARE WE LOOKING AT ANY PREDICTIONS OF ENROLLMENT AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS? ABSOLUTELY. SO PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE FACILITY MASTER PLAN IS TO LOOK AT THE 7 TO 10 YEAR WINDOW ON ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, AND TO HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS. YOU KNOW, WHERE WHERE IS THE HIGHEST NEED? WHERE ARE THE STUDENTS GOING TO BE? WHAT DOES THE ENROLLMENT OF THAT SCHOOL LOOK LIKE IN 3 TO 5 YEARS? SO ALL OF THAT'S TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO AND AN EYE FROM OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TO ANSWER A FEW EXTRA QUESTIONS. OKAY. THAT BRINGS US TO BOARD

[24. BOARD REPORT]

THANK YOU. YOLANDA WAS GOING TO MAKE THE CAKE. MINE'S ALSO VERY SHORT. MYSELF AND TRICIA, WE ATTENDED THE YORBA LINDA WOMEN'S CLUB, THE ARTS SCHOLARSHIP DEAL THIS LAST WEEK, AND I'M ALWAYS AMAZED I WAS I WAS ACTUALLY ART STUDENT OF THE YEAR AND I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW I GOT IT. I THINK THE ART TEACHER JUST LIKE SAID, THANKS FOR TRYING. BUT YEAH, MAYBE TOO MUCH SUGAR, BUT I JUST, I'M ALWAYS, I'M ALWAYS JUST MESMERIZED BY THESE KIDS AND HOW TALENTED THEY ARE. SO THAT'S ALWAYS A FUN THING TO ATTEND. IT IS POLICE WEEK ACCORDING TO MY INSTAGRAM. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALWAYS BEING HERE AT OUR BOARD MEETINGS. AND THANKS TO ALL OF OUR SROS. AND ANOTHER THING TOO, WE TALKED TO DOCTOR KIM. I THINK IT WAS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MET MONDAY OR THE THE PAST MONDAY, BUT I DID GET A PHONE CALL FROM CITY COUNCIL FROM YORBA LINDA. AND WE WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. THEY WANTED THE NEED FOR THE EVERY 15 MINUTES TO COME BACK AND THEN ALSO SOME E-BIKE STUFF. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID

[02:15:01]

SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON THE PHONE WITH SOME PEOPLE. WE SAID, WELL, CAN YOU HAVE THE OPT IN OPT OUT? IF A PARENT DOESN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE OR THEY THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD THING FOR THEIR KID, BUT ANOTHER PARENT FEELS THAT IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THEIR KID. SO I SAID I WOULD BRING THAT UP. AND THEN AS FAR AS THE E-BIKES GO, THAT WAS ANOTHER THING I WE TAUGHT, AND I TOTALLY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE CITY'S WILLING TO DO AN E-BIKE, BASICALLY LIKE A SAFETY CERTIFICATION COURSE, REGISTER THE BIKES THE PARENTS ATTEND. RIGHT BEFORE THIS BOARD MEETING.

IT WENT UP ON, I THINK IT WAS FACEBOOK PICTURES OF KIDS AT ONE OF OUR SCHOOL SITES ALMOST.

AND SOMEBODY SAID, THIS KID WAS ALMOST KILLED, YOU KNOW, AND SUCH AND SUCH HAPPENED. AND SO I DO THINK THAT IF THE CITY IS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE CERTIFICATION, THE BIKES AND SAFETY CLASSES FOR THE STUDENT AND THE PARENTS, I DO THINK THAT'S GOOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE PERSONNEL TO BE CHECKING REGISTRATION OF EVERY SINGLE BIKE, BUT HOWEVER, I DID BRING IT UP TO ONE OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE MAYOR, THAT PERHAPS THERE'S A TAG THAT CITY COUNCIL CAN ISSUE ONCE THE CLASSES ARE DONE. AND SO THIS CERTAIN TAG THAT'S ON THE BIKE CAN GO ON TO OUR SCHOOL PROPERTY. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE TONS OF PEOPLE CHECKING TAGS ON BIKES AND STUFF. IT'S JUST RIGHT THERE. IT'S PROMINENT. AND YOU KNOW, THE BIKE CAN GO ON TO SCHOOL PROPERTY. IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT. BECAUSE I MEAN, JUST IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO, THE E-BIKE THING HAS KIND OF EXPLODED. WE HAVE PARENTS IN COURT. SO I DO THINK WE DO NEED TO WORK ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT AND I DO THINK THAT THERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE PERSONNEL TO BE CHECKING REGISTRATION ON E-BIKES. BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY CAN PROVIDE US, AND MAYBE THIS WILL ALSO RELEASE LIABILITY FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, I DON'T KNOW.

SO THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION I'VE HAD THIS WEEK. AND LIKE I SAID, GRADUATION SEASON IS UPON US AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR GRADUATES AND LOTS OF BOARD MEETINGS AND LOTS OF FUN TIMES.

AND IF YOU REALLY WANT ME TO BAKE A CAKE, I STILL DO BAKE QUITE OFTEN. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE BITES. NOW IT'S 16 YEAR OLD LEANDRO WOULD HAVE EATEN THE ENTIRE CAKE. SO. BUT YEAH, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR GRADUATES. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. SINCE OUR LAST BOARD MEETING, I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE STRATEGIC PLANNING AT VALDEZ MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO THE CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT WERE OUT. AND THERE WERE SOME REALLY GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK ALL THE FAMILIES FOR COMING OUT AND PARTICIPATING. AND ALSO A BIG THANKS TO THE STAFF THAT WAS THERE TO FACILITATE IT AND TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. IT WAS WAS JUST A REALLY GREAT NIGHT. I ALSO ATTENDED THE NORTH ORANGE COUNTY ROP CELEBRATION OF SUCCESS AWARD CEREMONY, AND IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT RECOGNIZING STUDENTS THROUGHOUT ORANGE THROUGH NORTH ORANGE COUNTY RFP. AND I GOT TO GO BE WITH MY FRIENDS DAUGHTER WHO WAS NOMINATED FOR A SCHOLARSHIP THAT NIGHT. AND I GOT TO SEE MANY OF OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT RECOGNIZE EARNING SCHOLARSHIPS AND WINNING, BEING FINALISTS. AND HUGE SHOUT OUT TO OUR ESPERANZA, OUR STUDENT OF THE YEAR, JUNE MARIE BRENNER.

I'M GOING TO BUTCHER HER LAST NAME, BUT NOT RICK. YEAH. JUNE MARIE, SHE WAS GREAT. AND THEN I PARTICIPATED IN WE HAD OVER 600 VOLUNTEERS OUT THERE AT OUR 34 DIFFERENT SITES, AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF PLACENTIA. AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT AND VOLUNTEERED AND SERVED. I SAW THE DARE TO DREAM MUSICAL THAT WAS PERFORMED BY THE STUDENTS AT RIO VISTA. THE SETS, COSTUME, ACTING, SINGING WERE SO AMAZING AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PLAY FOR SEVEN MONTHS. THAT'S SO INCREDIBLE. AND AND MANY THANKS TO MR. DIAZ. THIS WAS HIS 14TH YEAR DIRECTING THE

[02:20:07]

AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THAT ONE. AND ALSO SIGNS OF SUICIDE, WHICH TIES INTO A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND DINNER WAS PROVIDED. IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT PUT THAT TOGETHER. I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO COORDINATE THAT MANY PEOPLE AND TO PUT AN EVENTFUL. AN EVENT TOGETHER THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND HELPFUL TO OUR COMMUNITY. LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED THE PTA PYL COUNCIL HONORARY KNIGHT HONORARY SERVICE NIGHT AND INSTALLATION EVENT, AND IT WAS GREAT TO RECOGNIZE SOME HONOREES FOR THEIR DEDICATION THROUGH OUR DISTRICT AND ALSO TO INSTALL OUR NEXT YEAR'S COUNCIL TEAM.

SO LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN GREAT HANDS. AND I TOO, AT THE SUMMIT, HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH SERGEANT FROM PLACENTIA PD ABOUT E-BIKES, AND I LEARNED A LOT. AND SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT. CITIES ARE PASSING ORDINANCES. PLACENTAS HAD THEIR FIRST READ OF THEIR ORDINANCE. YORBA LINDA PASSED THEIRS.

FULLERTON AND ANAHEIM. THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS WITH PLACENTIA. BREA PASSED THEIRS.

A YEAR AGO. SO AND WE SERVE ALL THESE COMMUNITIES AND ALL THESE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER. AND SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT ORDINANCES AND SEE WHAT HOW WE CAN BEST SUPPORT OUR OUR STUDENTS THROUGH EDUCATION, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S OUR KEY. THAT'S WHAT WE DO WELL IN OUR DISTRICT. AND WE'LL LEAVE THE, THE ENFORCEMENT UP TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND FOCUS ON EDUCATING. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. A QUICK CONTEXT, SINCE BOTH YOU AND MISS BLADES MENTIONED E-BIKES, ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BOTH OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM TIME IN OUR PE CLASSES DURING THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL, TO BE ABLE TO CONDUCT THE TRAINING AND THE CLASSES THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'VE DESIGNED IN ORDER TO HAVE, IN A SENSE, OUR, OUR ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND POTENTIALLY EVEN UNDERCLASSMEN AT HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVED THAT TRAINING BEFORE THEY GO INTO SUMMER. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT WILL BE HELPFUL AS WELL. EXCELLENT. YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BRING THAT UP AS WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT WE COULD HELP AND WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO GET THAT IN PLACE. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. SO THANK YOU. THIS MONTH PROVIDED MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE WITH OUR SCHOOLS, STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN THE DISTRICT. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH WAS ATTENDING THE SPECTACULAR PRISM CONCERT CHOIR CONCERT AT EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL. THE STUDENTS DELIVERED AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE THAT SHOWCASED ALL THEIR MUSICAL TALENTS AND DEDICATION AND EXCELLENCE, AND REALLY SHOWED OFF OUR PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS. THE QUALITY OF PROGRAMS THAT WE DO HAVE IN OUR DISTRICT. I WAS ALSO HONORED TO ATTEND THE DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL BANQUET RECOGNIZING TUFFERY MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE RECOGNITION REFLECTS THE TREMENDOUS WORK OF THE STAFF, STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO CONTRIBUTE DAILY TO THE SCHOOL SUCCESS DURING SCHOOL VISITS. THIS MONTH, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT SIERRA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHERE I OBSERVED EXCELLENT TEACHING PRACTICES, A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY, AND TREMENDOUS PARENT SUPPORT. IT WAS INSPIRING TO SEE SUCH A POSITIVE AND POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS. I ALSO VISITED LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO OBSERVE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IN ACTION AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE THE CARE AND COMMITMENT BEING INVESTED IN ALL OF OUR LEARNERS. ANOTHER MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE WAS ATTENDING THE

[02:25:03]

AND SO BEING AT LOVE PLACENTIA AND SEEING THE COMMUNITY THERE AND ALL THE HELP AND EVERYBODY WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY BETTER. AND THEN TOPPING IT ALL OFF THAT NIGHT WITH THE DARE TO DREAM MUSICAL AND SEEING ALL THE LITTLE ONES PARTICIPATING AND SINGING THEIR LITTLE HEARTS OUT. AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE HARD WORK THAT THEY DID. SO AGAIN, YES, THANK YOU, MR. DIAZ AND MISS WILLIAMS FOR DOING FOR PROVIDING THAT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH NEXT. SO YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A WONDERFUL MAY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THE ACTIVITIES COMING UP WITH THIS GRADUATION YEAR AND CELEBRATIONS THAT COME UP WITH OUR SENIORS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. TRICIA. I'LL JUST BRIEFLY GO THROUGH A FEW THINGS I'VE DONE THIS MONTH. I ATTENDED THE AVID SENIOR STANDOUT AT UCI, WHERE THEY. STUDENTS FROM EACH OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WERE WERE AWARDED WITH SENIOR STANDOUT. SO CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ISAAC, AALIYAH, BELLA AND BRAELYN AND I'M LOOKING. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STANDOUT THIS WEEK AT ANGEL STADIUM TO SEE ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. AND I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I. FOR WORK I PARTICIPATED IN AND HELD A SCREENING WITH AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PBS STUDIOS. AND THE DOCUMENTARY THAT WE SCREENED IS CALLED POSSIBLE SELVES. AND I MENTION IT BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT FOSTER YOUTH AND THEIR, THEIR EXPERIENCE. SO IF YOU WORK WITH FOSTER YOUTH, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE SEARCH IT FOR PBS. IT'S CALLED POSSIBLE SELVES, BUT IT TELLS ABOUT THE PATHWAY AND THE, THE, THE LIFE THAT A FOSTER YOUTH I PARTICIPATED IN LOVE PLACENTIA AND WORKED WITH ONE OF OUR STUDENTS, MICAH FROM OR FROM VALADEZ OR NOT SORRY, NOT VALADEZ FROM VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL AND SPENT THE DAY DOING LANDSCAPING WITH HIM. SO THANK YOU FOR FOR SPENDING SOME TIME WITH ME, MICAH, AND SHARING YOUR SKILLS. I ATTENDED THE STRATEGIC VISIONING WITH DOCTOR KIM AND DOCTOR PEREZ AND THE REST OF THE TEAM AT TIMES, AND REALLY ENJOYED HEARING FROM PARENTS AND WHAT THEIR CONCERNS WERE AND THEIR INTEREST AND THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IN SCHOOL. I DID ATTEND OR VISIT A FEW SCHOOLS OVER THE PAST MONTH. WAGNER WITH KYLENE FENNEMA, AND MY HIGHLIGHT OF THAT VISIT WAS SEEING THE PRESCHOOL KIDS ON THE PLAYGROUND. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. THEY WERE HAVING THEIR CIRCLE TIME, BUT THEIR CIRCLE TIME WAS OUTSIDE AND ONE OF THE CIRCLE TIMES WERE WAS

[02:30:03]

SO WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. MOTION CARRIES F
