[16.1.2. Adopt Resolution 2022-29 to Authorize Staff to Advise the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk on Candidate Statements for Board of Education Elections]

ADOPT RESOLUTION 2022, DASH 29 TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO ADVISE THE LOS ANGELES REGISTER RECORDER COUNTY CLERK ON CANDIDATE STATEMENTS FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION ELECTIONS.

SO AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE EMBARKING ON THE ELECTION OF NOVEMBER OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR, AND SO THIS RESOLUTION IS A ROUTINE RESOLUTION THAT GETS PASSED AND HAS TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE L.A.

COUNTY REGISTER WITH REALLY TWO THINGS TO CONSIDER AND THEN TO VOTE ON.

ONE IS YOU CAN LIMIT THE MAXIMUM WORDS THAT A CANDIDATE CAN USE IN THEIR IN THEIR PAMPHLET, EITHER TO 200 OR 400 WORDS.

HISTORICALLY, THE BOARD HAS WENT WITH 400 WORDS, AND THEN ALSO WHERE THE PAYMENT WILL COME FROM, THERE'S THREE OPTIONS UNDER THAT.

ONE IS THAT THE CANDIDATES DIRECTLY PAY THE COUNTY.

SECOND ONE IS THE DISTRICT FULLY FUNDS IT, AND THIRD IS THAT THE DISTRICT BILLS THE CANDIDATES FOR IT.

HISTORICALLY, THE DISTRICT HAS REQUIRED THAT CANDIDATES PAY THE REGISTER DIRECTLY.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'D BE VOTING ON TONIGHT.

DO I HAVE A DISCUSSION? JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS, I WAS JUST SEEING IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GO AGAINST THE DEFAULT.

AGAINST? NO, I REMEMBER I DID MINE, 400 JUST GOT EATEN UP SO QUICKLY.

RIGHT. OKAY, WELL, THAT MAKES IT SIMPLE.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2022-29 AUTHORIZING STAFF TO ADVISE THE LOS ANGELES REGISTER RECORDER COUNTY CLERK ON CANDIDATE STATEMENTS FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION ELECTION WITH ONE A MAXIMUM WORK LIMITATION OF 400 WORDS AND

[00:40:07]

WITH PAYMENT OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS MADE BY THE CANDIDATE AT THE TIME OF FILING.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT.

[17. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT]

MR. COYNE.

THANK YOU. IN APRIL, THE LA VERNE SAN DIMAS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION HAD YET ANOTHER VERY SUCCESSFUL GOLF TOURNAMENT.

THANKS FOR ALL THE GOLFERS WHO SHOWED UP.

THANKS FOR ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO PUT IN ALL THE HOURS AND HOURS TO PUT ON THE TOURNAMENT.

I'VE WORKED AS A WORKER BEE ON THE TOURNAMENT, ON THE COMMITTEE SINCE THE FIRST ONE IN 2005.

I PLAYED IN THE FIRST EIGHT TOURNAMENTS, AND MY HAPPIEST DAY WAS WHEN WE DECIDED WE DIDN'T HAVE A NEED FOR GOLFERS AT MY LEVEL TO FILL THE FIELD ANYMORE.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF GOOD GOLFERS THAT PLAY IN THE GAME NOW, AND I JUST LOVE SEEING THEM OUT THERE HAVING THE FUN THAT I DO NOT ENJOY [CHUCKLING].

I ALSO ENJOYED THE LEARNING WALK THIS PAST WEEK AT ALLEN AND AT CHAPARRAL, ESPECIALLY THE REAL INSIGHT OUR BRIEFING THAT WE GOT ON UPCOMING PRE-K.

THAT REALLY IS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND I THINK THAT ALL THE SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE YOUNGER YOU START TEACHING CHILDREN, THE BETTER THE OUTCOME, AND SO I'M REAL HAPPY TO HEAR THAT'S THAT WE'RE NOT PHASING IT IN LIKE A LOT OF DISTRICTS ARE.

WE'RE JUST GRABBING IT BY THE HORNS AND BRINGING IT IN RIGHT AWAY.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

LAST WEEK, ONE OF THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES TALKED ABOUT THE EVERY 15 MINUTES PROGRAM, AND WHAT THAT IS, IS IT'S A PROGRAM THAT IS FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE CHP.

SO I WANT TO THANK THE CHP, THE L.A.

SHERIFFS, THE L.A. COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE LA CORONER FOR PUTTING THIS PROGRAM ON.

BASICALLY, SANDERS TOWING HERE IN SAN DIMAS BRINGS A COUPLE OF WRECKED CARS.

THEY STAGE IT IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

THE STUDENTS DO NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON THAT DAY.

SO THEY'RE ALL BROUGHT OUT TO SEE THIS ACCIDENT, AND THEY'VE GOT KIDS MADE UP THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN INJURED.

THEY HAVE SOME THAT ARE MADE UP THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN KILLED, AND FOR ANYONE THAT'S EVER HAD A FRIEND OR A LOVED ONE LOST A FRIEND OR A LOVED ONE THROUGH DRUNK DRIVING, IT'S A PRETTY SOBERING EVENT, AND I'VE GONE TO SEVERAL OF THEM.

IT'S KIND OF TOUGH TO SEE SOMETIMES, BUT WHAT STRUCK ME THIS TIME WAS THE PROFESSIONALISM AND THE EASE WITH WHICH ALL THE FIRST RESPONDERS DID THEIR PART.

IT'S LIKE THEY WEREN'T ACTING, AND THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT THEY LOOKED SO PROFICIENT BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DO THAT MANY TIMES PER YEAR FOR REAL. SO I APPRECIATE ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT HELPED MAKE THAT HAPPEN AND ON A HAPPIER NOTE, WE'VE GOT GRADUATIONS COMING UP IN A FEW WEEKS AND CERTAINLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HELPING HAND OUT A FEW DIPLOMAS AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.

THANK YOU. SO I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY TO SAY THIS, SO GREETINGS AND MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU.

ONCE AGAIN, WELCOME TO OUR NEW ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS, MS..

GONZALES AND MR. RICHARDS OVER AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL AND EXCUSE ME, OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND OUR NEW ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT, SONIA ECKLEY. WELCOME AND THANKS FOR ANSWERING THE CALL.

TEACHER AND NURSE APPRECIATION WEEK AND OUR CLASSIFIED FOLKS COMING RIGHT UP.

MY WIFE IS A NURSE, SO I HAD TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO NURSES.

CARL, I CONTINUE TO GET POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR STATE OF THE DISTRICT AND SO MUCH APPRECIATED.

VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

AS CHECK MENTIONED JUST A SECOND AGO, REALLY A GREAT JOB.

THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT, THAT'S A MAJOR FUNDRAISER FOR THEIR GOOD WORKS AND THE MINI GRANTS THAT THEY PUT RIGHT BACK INTO OUR CLASSROOMS EACH YEAR.

THANK YOU AGAIN TO THEIR GOOD WORKS AND THEIR ANNUAL PERSEVERANCE AWARDS ARE COMING UP THE WEEK OF GRADUATION.

GREG AND I ATTENDED LA VERNE AD HOC, WHICH IS A PARTNERSHIP TO BOARD MEMBERS, TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM EACH CITY IN THIS CASE, LAVERNE.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE AQUATIC CENTER RENOVATION, 4TH OF JULY PARADE AND COUNTY FAIR IS BACK ON THIS YEAR, FIREWORKS, SO SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SUMMER.

ATTENDED A RIBBON CUTTING FOR MCKINLEY CHILDREN'S CENTER NEW MUSIC ROOM AND WAS REMINDED HOW IMPORTANT MUSIC IS FOR CHILDREN AND HOW IT

[00:45:08]

CAN UNLOCK DOORS FOR LEARNING.

ALSO ATTENDED LEARNING WALKS AT ALLEN AND CHAPARRAL VISTA, AND THANKS AGAIN TO DEBBIE AND CHRIS FOR TAKING THEIR TIME TO TALK ABOUT THEIR SCHOOLS AND FOR DEBBIE IN PARTICULAR TO REALLY KIND OF HELP US LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTENS.

COMING UP, TEACHER OF THE YEAR CELEBRATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR CITIES, AND IT'S NOT JUST THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IT'S THE NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS HERE IN SAN DIMAS, PACIFIC UNIVERSITY WILL BE HOSTING MAY 17TH AND FOR OUR LA VERNE TEACHERS OVER AT MOUNTAIN MEADOWS ON THE 19TH, CELEBRATING OUR EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AT MT.

MEADOWS ON THE 24TH, AND OF COURSE, THIS IS BUDGET SEASON, AND MY SPIES TELL ME THAT THE NUMBERS ARE LOOKING VERY POSITIVE FOR THIS YEAR AND VERY ENCOURAGED, AND THANKS AGAIN TO OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR BARGAINING UNITS AND THEIR LEADERSHIP.

THE ROAD AHEAD LOOKS VERY POSITIVE FOR THE HARD WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE YEARS TO COME.

ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO OUR THREE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS AND THE CELEBRATIONS AND THE POSSIBILITIES THAT THOSE EVENTS BRING, AND ONE LAST REMINDER, BOTH OF THE CITIES THAT WE SERVE, LA VERNE AND SAN DIMAS ARE HAVING THEIR CITY ELECTIONS JUNE 7TH.

SO PLEASE GET EDUCATED AND GO OUT AND VOTE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I THINK I HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT COULD BE SAID ENOUGH.

HAPPY WEEK OF THE TEACHERS.

WEEK OF NURSE AND COMING UP WITH OUR NEW RESOLUTION, HAPPY WEEK FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF.

TO ME, YOU'RE ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE YEAR.

IT'S NOT REALLY A COMPETITION.

I APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE'VE HAD.

SO THANK YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES EVERYTHING ELSE.

YES, THE LEARNING WALKS ARE GREAT WITH T.K.

AT ALLEN. I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH CHAPARRAL, WHAT SOME OF US KNOW IS THEY WON MODEL SCHOOL OF THE YEAR, SO THEY'RE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOLS, BUT THEY DON'T STOP.

THEY LIVE BY THAT DOG'S PRIDE, YOU KNOW, DO THE RIGHT THINGS SHOWING PRIDE, AND THEY KEEP PUSHING IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

SO THANK YOU FOR NEVER BEING SATISFIED AND MAKING A REALLY RIGOROUS PROGRAM FOR OUR STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL, AND LIKE THEY SAID, THE GOLF TOURNAMENT WAS GREAT.

ONE THING I DID NOTE IN PARTICULAR, IT WAS ON ONE OF THE HOLES.

THERE WAS A SIGN ABOUT RAMONA FOR A WELLNESS GARDEN.

THIS WAS NEWS TO ME, AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING A GARDEN, AND IT CAME AS AN IDEA FROM STUDENTS, AND THAT WEB PROGRAM WHERE WEB MEANS WHERE EVERYONE BELONGS AND THEY'RE MAKING A GARDEN JUST FOR PEOPLE TO HANG OUT, COUNSELORS COULD PULL KIDS THERE AND TALK.

SO IT WAS NOT AN INSTITUTIONALIZED ROOM WITH THE WHITE WALLS, JUST AN EMPTY PLOT OF LAND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF CAMPUS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BEAUTIFY, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BEING COMPLETED, BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WELL, I'LL ECHO THE SENTIMENTS ABOUT OUR TEACHERS, OUR NURSES AND OUR CLASSIFIEDS AND IN THE MONTH OF MAY, IT'S KIND OF AN ALLITERATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE MOTHER'S DAY.

IT'S ALSO MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH, AND I KNOW WE TAKE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS VERY SERIOUSLY AND ALSO MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH.

SO IT SEEMS EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE CELEBRATING IN THIS MONTH OF MAY STARTS WITH AN M AND I'D LIKE TO ECHO WHAT CHUCK SAID ABOUT THE EVERY 15 MINUTES IT'S HARD ON THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO GO AND DO THAT BECAUSE THEY COULD LEAVE THERE AND GO AND DO IT FOR REAL, AND IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES TO THEM THAT SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER.

SO I DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO, AND IF YOU'VE GONE THROUGH IT AND SEEN IT, IT REALLY TOUCHES THE KIDS AND IT TOUCHES THE FAMILIES BECAUSE. DURING THE DAY THEY GO INTO CLASSROOMS AND THE GRIM REAPER TAKES A CHILD OUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND TAKES THEM AWAY AND THEY SPEND THE NIGHT AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES IN A HOTEL, AND THERE'S 25 OR 30 OF THEM, AND THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY AT AN ASSEMBLY, THEY READ BASICALLY AN OBITUARY ABOUT THEM WRITTEN BY THEIR FAMILY.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, I STRONGLY SUGGEST NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE AT BONITA, IT ALTERNATES EVERY YEAR BETWEEN THE HIGH SCHOOLS SO ALL THE JUNIORS AND SENIORS GET TO SEE IT.

THANK YOU, I GUESS I'LL GO OVER ALL THE DAYS AND WEEKS, BUT HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY.

HAPPY CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION WEEK.

HAPPY NURSE WEEK AND MENTAL HEALTH WEEK.

MILITARY WEEK. ONE OF THE ONES I WAS LOOKING AT, SO I WAS GOING THROUGH ALL THE WEEKS AND I NOTICED THERE WAS THINGS IN COMMON WITH SOME OF THEM, AND THE ONES THAT STRUCK ME WERE

[00:50:07]

MOTHER'S DAY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND CLASSIFIED APPRECIATION WEEK, AND IN THE SENSE ALL THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, ALL THOSE THE MOM WHO'S THE FIRST AND PRIMARY MOM, DAD, CAREGIVERS OUR FIRST AND PRIMARY TEACHERS.

THEY CARE FOR THEIR KIDS. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS GROW UP WELL AND THEN THEY PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL OR SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THOSE SCHOOLS HELP THOSE KIDS GROW UP WELL TO BOTH CERTIFIED AND CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES.

SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEVOTED TO CARING FOR CHILDREN TO BE CELEBRATED ON THE SAME WEEK.

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY DURING MY SPRING BREAK TO WALK AROUND AND LOOK AT SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD, AND THE ONE WORD THAT I THINK REALLY SUMMARIZED WHAT I SAW, BOTH IN BEING DEMONSTRATED AND ALSO BEING BUILT, WAS THE WORD MASTERY, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR CORE VALUES AND SOME OF THESE, LIKE MY DAUGHTER, SHE WAS IN TWO PROGRAMS, I THINK THIS WEEK OR LAST WEEK, WHICH WAS SHE WAS IN BEGINNING BAND, WHICH WAS GREAT, BUT AS A PARENT, KNOWING MY DAUGHTER HAS NOT BEEN PLAYING THE FLUTE THAT LONG, I WENT THERE WITH SOME FEAR AND TREPIDATION.

IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD SHOW, BUT SHE'S IN THE BEGINNING LEVELS OF BUILDING MASTERY.

SHE HAS NOT ARRIVED YET, AND THEN SHE WAS ALSO IN SEUSSICAL, THE MUSICAL, WHICH WAS JUST EVERY TIME I'VE SEEN A PLAY THERE, IT'S BEEN PHENOMENAL.

THERE'S A WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCES HAPPENING THERE.

THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT CAN DO SUCH A GOOD JOB THAT YOU WOULD THINK IT'S A PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL.

IT IS REALLY THAT LEVEL OF QUALITY WITH THE MUSICALS THEY PUT ON, AND YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT MASTERY AND I'M LIKE, WELL, I THINK MALCOLM GLADWELL SAID IT TAKES 10000 HOURS TO BUILD MASTERY THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T JUST START SOMETHING AND YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT IT, AND THEN I'VE READ OTHER THINGS WHERE THERE HAS TO BE HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

YOU CAN'T JUST PRACTICE.

YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO DO SOMETHING WELL, AND IT'S NOT JUST PRACTICE, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE FOCUSED PRACTICE, AND WHEN I'M LOOKING AT OUR KIDS AND THE INSTRUCTION THEY'RE GIVING, I SAW HIGH QUALITY TEACHING, AMAZING TEACHING ACTUALLY. I SAW HIGH QUALITY OUTPUT FOR WHERE THEY ARE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE OUR KIDS ARE VERY MUCH ON THE WAY TO MASTERY, AND I THINK IT WAS AT THE CONCERT WITH THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL-AGED KIDS AND I THINK IT WAS KIDS FROM EKSTRAND, GLADSTONE, ROYNON AND ALLEN AND THE TEACHER WHO WAS JUST PHENOMENAL.

SHE WAS DEFINITELY GIFTED.

SHE MADE THIS POINT.

A LOT OF DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE ELEMENTARY BAND, AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT? THAT'S NOT REALLY THAT GOOD BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HELP KIDS GET TRAINING EARLY OR AT LEAST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINING EARLY, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY FOR MASTERY, AND THERE IS AN EXAMPLE, I THINK, IN ONE OF MALCOLM GLADWELL'S BOOKS OF ANDRE AGASSI.

HE PLAYED TENNIS, AND I GUESS HE WAS LIKE REALLY YOUNG WHEN HE WAS PLAYING TENNIS, AND BY THE TIME HE WAS 15, HE HAD ALREADY PUT IN ENOUGH HOURS AND FOCUSED LEARNING TO BE AS GOOD AS A LOT OF 25 YEAR-OLDS WHO HAD BEEN DEVOTED TO THEIR CRAFT, AND BY US GIVING HIGH QUALITY TEACHING AT AN EARLY AGE, WE'RE ABLE TO HELP OUR KIDS GET THAT LEG UP ON MASTERY AND HOPEFULLY GET SCHOLARSHIPS, HOPEFULLY I DON'T KNOW COMPETE AT THE MASTERS.

WE'RE HELPING OUR KIDS GET THAT LEG UP BY EXPOSING THEM TO ARTS TRADES, ACADEMICS.

WE'RE ACTUALLY HELPING THEM BUILD MASTERY.

I'LL REALLY QUICKLY GO THROUGH SOME OF THE THINGS I SAW.

SO THE BOTH PERFORMANCES WERE REALLY GOOD.

THEY EVEN HAD SOLOISTS WITH THE FIRST YEAR PERFORMERS OR SECOND YEAR PERFORMERS.

SEUSSICAL WAS AMAZING.

IT'S ALWAYS A PHENOMENAL SHOW.

WHEN I WENT TO CHAPARRAL, NATALY BOLANOS WAS THE GUIDE AND WE WALKED AROUND AND I SAW THEIR CULINARY PROGRAM AND WE HAVE A WORLD CLASS CULINARY PROGRAM AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL AND SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

WE ALSO HAVE ONE AT CHAP'.

SO THERE WAS HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION.

THESE WEREN'T KIDS THAT WERE PUT INTO A CONTINUATION SCHOOL.

THESE WERE KIDS AT A CONTINUATION SCHOOL WHO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A GREAT EDUCATION IN CULINARY ARTS, AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT IT, AND I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE IT. WALKED THROUGH SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL, BONITA HIGH SCHOOL, LONE HILL, RAMONA.

I THINK I HIT ROYNON AND GLADSTONE AND AT EVERY SCHOOL, I SAW A STUDENT WORK ON THE WALL AND I'M USED TO LOOKING AT STUDENT WORK IN MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL.

EXCELLENT. VERY GOOD WORK.

I'VE SEEN SOME AWARDS AT SHULL, BUT IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE THESE OTHER SCHOOLS WITH DEMONSTRATION OF LIKE AMAZING PAINTINGS AT ROYNON.

I THINK THEY EVEN HAD THIS AREA FOR FIRST GRADERS WHERE THEIR PAINTINGS CAN DRY.

SO OBVIOUSLY PAINTING IS SOMETHING THEY DO AT ROYNON.

I SAW GREAT WORK, I THINK ON LONE HILL, I SAW SOMETHING THAT HELPED CRITICAL THINKING WHERE THESE KIDS WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY BREAK DOWN AN ARTICLE THEY SAW AND THEY HAD A PROCESS THAT DEVELOPED CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS BECAUSE YOU DO IT ON PAPER AND THERE'S THE SYSTEM, AND THEN THAT LATER BECOMES INTERNALIZED.

SO WHETHER IT'S TRADES, ARTS OR ACADEMICS, FROM WHAT I'VE OBSERVED, OUR DISTRICT IS BUILDING MASTERY IN OUR STUDENTS, AND QUITE HONESTLY, WHEN I LOOKED AT OUR

[00:55:01]

STAFF, THEY ALSO EXHIBITED MASTERY.

WE'RE NOT HIRING PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DO THE WORK WELL.

WE'RE HIRING PEOPLE WHO DO THE WORK WELL OR TO BORROW JIM'S PHRASE, WE'RE HIRING JEDI MASTERS TO HELP THE PADAWANS LEARN HOW TO DEVELOP MASTERY , AND FINALLY, THERE'S A COUPLE OF EVENTS HAPPENING.

WE HAVE THE SAN DIMAS, I GUESS, PRE CANDIDATES FORUM AND THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYORAL RACE AND THEY'LL BE ON MAY 5TH.

WE HAVE THE LA VERNE CANDIDATES FORUM FOR CITY COUNCIL THAT'S ON MAY 12TH, AND WE ALSO HAVE ON MAY 21ST THE I THINK THE ROTARY IS MEETING AT HIGH POINT AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE TRYING TO FORM A SPECIAL ROTARY CLUB THAT IS FOCUSED ON HELPING OUR MARINES AND SOMETIMES OUR MILITARY, YOU KNOW, THEY SERVE THEY'RE SACRIFICING A LOT FOR OUR FAMILIES TO KEEP US SAFE, BUT THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.

THEY SHOULD, BUT THEY DON'T.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITY GROUPS, THE SAN DIMAS ROTARY, THE SAN DIMAS MASONIC LODGE, A WHOLE BUNCH OF WOMEN'S CLUBS, DIAMOND BAR, WOMEN'S CLUB AND OTHERS AND ALL THESE GROUPS GATHER TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES TO HELP PROVIDE CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND OTHER THINGS TO FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE IT, AND I THINK THERE'S AN IDEA OF TRYING TO PROVIDE THOSE RESOURCES ON A REGULAR BASIS.

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU CAN CONTACT ME OR ANY SAN DIMAS ROTARY MEMBER OR ANYONE IN SAN DIMAS MASONIC LODGE, BUT IT'S MAY 21ST AT HIGH POINT BREWERY AND IT'S WEIRD TO ADVERTISE A BREWERY DURING A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, BUT IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE IS TO HELP OUR MILITARY VETERANS, OUR MILITARY ACTIVE DUTY STAFF, AND THAT'S ALL I GOT. I HAD A FEW THINGS I WAS GOING TO SAY TODAY, BUT I THINK ONE THING SUMS IT UP . BASED ON EVERYTHING WE HEARD TODAY AND KIND OF WHAT WE WITNESSED, YOU KNOW, THIS DISTRICT IS A PEOPLE BUSINESS.

IT'S A PLACE THAT CARES MORE ABOUT A PERSON'S NAME AND THEIR STORY THAN THEIR TITLE AND TODAY, WE SAW THREE STUDENTS, TWO WHO WILL BE GRADUATING, GOING ON TO COLLEGE.

THIS WEEK WE HAD JJ SPAWN SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

STUDENT PLAYED IN THE MASTERS, CAME BACK, TAKE A PICTURE WITH KIDS.

WE HAD FIONA MA, THE HIGHEST PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, THROUGH THE CONNECTIONS WITH PRINCIPAL WANG, CAME AND SAID HELLO TO STUDENTS, BUT I THINK ONE THING KIND OF SUMMED UP HOW WE ALL FEEL AND WHAT WE DO, EVEN AS THE ADULTS, IN PREPARING EVERYBODY TO LIVE THEIR PURPOSE.

SO, SONIA WAS GOING TO GO UP AND GIVE HER ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.

I LOOKED OVER TO SUSAN AND I SAID, HOW PROUD ARE YOU RIGHT NOW AND SHE SAID, I'M REALLY PROUD, AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WORK IN A PLACE THAT REALLY FOCUSES ON ELEVATING OTHERS, EVEN FROM THE ADULTS, THE ADULTS TO THE STUDENTS AND ADULTS TO ADULTS, I THINK WE ARE ON A TRACK THAT IS UNSTOPPABLE WITH UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT THAT YOU GIVE TO ALL OF US.
