[13. FEATURED PRESENTATIONS ]

AND THE FIRST IS A RECOGNITION OF OUR SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I NEED BOTH STEVE AND SERGIO.

ROBERT, COME ON. RIGHT HERE.

AND, MR. SPARKS, YOU COME UP HERE, TOO? SO WE HAVE EXCELLENT STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT.

WHEN YOU WALK ON OUR CAMPUSES, YOU CAN SEE IT AND YOU CAN FEEL IT.

THE EXCELLENCE OF OUR STUDENTS PLAY OUT IN A NUMBER OF WAYS ON OUR CAMPUSES ON A DAILY BASIS.

SOMETIMES, THOUGH, AN EVENT TAKES PLACE WHICH YOU WANT TO PAUSE AND HIGHLIGHT, AND THAT IS TRUE OF AN EVENT INVOLVING FOUR OF OUR SAN DIMAS STUDENTS.

DURING THAT EVENT, STUDENTS STEPHEN MORAN, SERGIO ROBLES, ROBERT SMITH AND STEPHEN ROSALES PERFORMED AN ACT OF SERVICE FOR A GENTLEMAN WHO WAS IN MEDICAL DISTRESS.

THESE STUDENTS CARRIED THE SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL MOTTO SAINTS VALUE STUDENTS BEYOND THEIR CAMPUS AND INTO OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP THE BOARD RECOGNIZE THESE STUDENTS AND TELL THE STORY OF THEIR ACTIONS.

PRINCIPAL OF SAN DIMAS SCOTT SPARKS.

GOOD EVENING. SO IT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING WHAT HAPPENED.

THESE FOUR GENTLEMEN WALKED INTO THE OFFICE LATE FROM LUNCH.

YOU KNOW, THEY GET TO GO OUT FOR LUNCH AND THEY WERE LATE AND THEY GAVE US A NOTE.

AND THE NOTE WAS FROM A FIREFIGHTER.

AND IT SAID, PLEASE EXCUSE THESE GENTLEMEN FOR HELPING OUT AT A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS THEY CAME OUT OF JACK IN THE BOX.

THEY SEE A GENTLEMAN, AN OLDER GENTLEMAN WALKING, STUMBLING AND FALLING FACE FORWARD.

[00:10:06]

ONE, THEY COULD GET IN THEIR CAR THINKING HE'S A VAGRANT AND DRIVE AWAY.

HE'S JUST SOME HOMELESS GUY.

THEY COULD DO TWO, WHICH MANY PEOPLE DO TODAY.

JUST PULL OUT THEIR PHONES AND RECORD IT AND HOPEFULLY THEY GET LIKES.

BUT THEY DID THE RIGHT THING.

THEY STEPPED OVER.

THEY PULLED HIM OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT BY THE AMPM WHERE THE TRAFFIC WAS COMING IN AND HELPED HIM AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND THEY STAYED WITH HIM THE WHOLE TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS OKAY.

THAT'S WHY THEY WERE LATE FOR LUNCH.

THEY GOT THE NOTE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WE'D BE MAD.

OBVIOUSLY, WE WEREN'T MAD.

WE WERE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEM JUST TO BE GREAT HUMAN BEINGS.

WE ONLY AS PARENTS, I HAVE FIVE KIDS AND SOME OF THEM ARE SUPER SUCCESSFUL.

SOME OF THEM ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR WAY.

BUT ALL I WANT THEM TO DO IS BE GREAT.

HUMANS AND PARENTS OF THESE FOUR GENTLEMEN SHOULD BE VERY PROUD BECAUSE THESE ARE GREAT HUMANS.

SO THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

[INAUDIBLE].

I WILL SAY IN OVER 35 YEARS ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OR ANY STUDENTS STOP AND HELP SOMEONE LIKE THAT OR THOUGHT ENOUGH TO ASK FOR A NOTE IF THEY ACTUALLY DID.

SO CONGRATULATE YOU ON BOTH.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT, WE GO TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL CHEER TEAM.

AND KEVIN, THANK YOU.

IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING A NORMAL PROCESS HERE.

RECOGNIZING THE CHEER TEAM FROM SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR, SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL CHEER COMPETED IN CIF SOUTHERN SECTION DIVISION TWO A AND WON ITS THIRD CIF CHAMPIONSHIP.

THEY ALSO WON CHEER PROSE STATE COMPETITION, TSC ARIZONA CHAMPIONSHIP.

THEY WENT INTO THE USA NATIONALS THIS PAST WEEKEND AND WON FIRST PLACE IN THE SIDELINE DIVISION AND GROUP STUNT UNDER COACH KING, COACH COTA AND COACH GONZALEZ.

THE SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS IN THIS SQUAD HAVE BROUGHT HOME THREE CIF TITLES.

WHAT AN AMAZING TEAM AND AMAZING COACHING STAFF.

MAY I PLEASE HAVE PRINCIPAL SCOTT SPARKS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL JACK NANCE COME TO THE PODIUM? ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE ALL OF OUR TEAM ON AN INCREDIBLE SEASON.

PLEASE COME UP AND RECEIVE YOUR AWARD WHEN MR NANCE CALLS YOUR NAME AND REMAIN STANDING UP HERE UNTIL ALL OUR NAMES ARE CALLED SO WE CAN GET A PHOTO OF YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME, COME UP, MR. SPARKS WILL HAND YOU YOUR.

YOU GUYS WAY OVER THERE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[STUDENTS]

[00:16:16]

WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONSENT AGENDA.

OKAY, GLENN, BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSENT, I WONDER ON BUSINESS 11 AND 12, SONIA, IF YOU COULD GIVE US A SENTENCE OR TWO ABOUT

[Additional Item ]

WE'LL PASS IT ON CONSENT, BUT IF YOU COULD DO THAT, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

DEFINITELY. THANKS.

SO BECAUSE OUR RESIDENTS VOTED A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT MANY YEARS AGO GRANTING THE DISTRICT A SPECIAL REVENUE FLOW THAT ALLOWS US TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE OUR GREEN SPACES, OUR BASEBALL FIELDS, OUR PLAYGROUNDS, OUR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, AND EVEN OUR PORTION OF OUR STADIUMS AND GYMNASIUMS. WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE LAW TO DO AN ANNUAL PROCESS EVERY YEAR.

SO THIS RESOLUTION THAT IS PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY IS ACTUALLY BEGINNING AND ADOPTING THE TIMELINE.

IT'LL TAKE ABOUT A FEW MONTHS.

IT INVOLVES ASSESSING OUR PROPERTIES.

IT ALSO INCLUDES SOME SITE VISITS AND INTERVIEWS WITH OUR STAFF AT EACH SCHOOL SITE AND THEN WRAPPING THAT UP IN A NICE REPORT PRESENTED TO YOU PROBABLY BY NEXT FALL.

BUT IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT YEAR'S PROCESS AND IT'S REQUIRED FOR US TO MAINTAIN THIS VERY SPECIAL REVENUE FLOW.

AND AS WE DID LAST TIME, DOES IT ACTUALLY PAY FOR ITSELF OR IS THERE ENCROACHMENT ON THE.

NO, THERE IS. IT DEFINITELY PAYS A PORTION OF IT.

WE DEFINITELY, AS A DISTRICT INVEST A LOT MORE INTO OUR FIELDS AND OUR JUST BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES.

[00:20:04]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS. OKAY.

[15. CONSENT AGENDA ]

IF ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD SO REQUESTS THAT AN ITEM SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THIS SECTION AND PLACED IN A REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS FOLLOWING THE APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA, ITEMS WILL BE APPROVED WITH ONE MOTION WHICH IS NOT DEBATABLE AND REQUIRES A UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR PASSAGE.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT, ON TO OUR DISCUSSION ACTION AGENDA.

[16.1.1. Approve Second Interim Financial Report as of January 31, 2023, as Presented with a PositiveCertifi cation ]

GOOD EVENING. SO TONIGHT I'LL BE PRESENTING THE SECOND INTERIM REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2023.

SO OUR SECOND INTERIM REPORT IS ONE OF THREE ANNUAL REPORTS THAT WE PRESENT TO THE BOARD.

IT REPORTS OUR FINANCIAL STATUS AS OF JANUARY 31ST AND ALSO INCLUDES TWO SUBSEQUENT YEAR PROJECTIONS.

WE MAINTAIN THESE REPORTS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY REPORTS ON OUR FISCAL VIABILITY, ENSURING THAT WE MAINTAIN ON TRACK.

SO OUR REPORT IS IS PRESENTED IN THE STATE REQUIRED FORMAT.

BUT AS ALWAYS, WE PRESENT SOME USER FRIENDLY SUMMARY REPORTS THAT COMPARE WHAT WE PRESENTED AT FIRST INTERIM AND WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING AT SECOND INTERIM FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES.

SO THE FIRST STEPS WE DO IN PREPARING FOR OUR SECOND INTERIM IS WE ONCE AGAIN REVIEW ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS AND IDENTIFY ANY MATERIAL CHANGES SINCE FIRST INTERIM. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANYTHING EXTRAORDINARY THAT MIGHT STAND OUT TO US AND WE MAKE SURE WE PROJECT THE PROPER AND THE IMPACT IT HAS ON OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR CURRENT YEAR AND ANY IMPACT IT MIGHT PRESENT TO US IN THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS.

BUT WE HAVE FOUND NOTHING UNUSUAL IN THIS PERIOD OF TIME.

SO OTHER THINGS THAT WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING AT IN OUR REPORTS IS LOOKING AT OUR ENROLLMENT, BECAUSE WE LOOK AT IT ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

AND BY THIS TIME WE'VE ALREADY FILED OUR FIRST AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE REPORT BACK IN DECEMBER AND WHAT WE REFER TO AS P ONE.

THIS IS NOT THE ONE THAT WE'RE FUNDED ON, BUT IT'S SORT OF A PROGRESS REPORT PER SE.

BUT ONE OF ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO LOOK AT AS WELL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR ESPECIALLY IS OUR SALARY AND BENEFITS.

WE MAKE SURE THAT WE PROPERLY NOW THAT WE'RE LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR, DID WE BUDGET PROPER AMOUNTS FOR OUR SALARY AND OUR BENEFITS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR? WE DO SET ASIDE MONEY FOR EVERY ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR MEDICAL HEALTH PLANS.

SO AT HALF THE YEAR, WHAT WE LOOK AT IS WHAT IS THE ACTUAL USAGE, WHAT EMPLOYEES ARE NOT TAKING OUR BENEFITS FOR WHATEVER REASON.

AND SO WE ADJUST OUR BUDGET ACCORDINGLY.

WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR TO MAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING FROM NOW TILL JUNE 30TH WILL BE AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO ACTUALS.

SOMETHING ELSE WE MIGHT LOOK AT AS WELL ARE PROJECTS.

WE MIGHT HAVE SOME LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

THERE WERE JUST ESTIMATES AND BY NOW WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE FULL BID PROCESS AND MIGHT HAVE AN ACTUAL COST.

SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE OUR BUDGET REFLECTS THOSE NEW FINAL AMOUNTS.

SO AT FIRST INTERIM, WE REPORTED A NET OPERATING LOSS OF ABOUT 5.8 MILLION.

NOW IF WE RECALL BACK TO DECEMBER, IT WAS MOSTLY DUE TO THAT INCREMENTAL SALARY INCREASE THAT WE PUT INTO THE BUDGET AT THAT TIME.

SO NOW WE'VE IMPROVED THAT BY ALMOST $700,000 TO THE GOOD AND THE MAJORITY OF THAT WOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE BENEFIT, THE ADJUSTMENT WE MADE FOR OUR MEDICAL BENEFITS.

SO AT THIS POINT, WE'RE PROJECTING AN UNRESTRICTED ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR JUNE 30TH, 2023 OF $24,487,541. THIS REPRESENTS 15% OF OUR TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES WELL ABOVE THE STATE, 3% AND THE DISTRICT'S OWN 7% REQUIREMENT.

NEARLY 9.6% OF THAT 3% REQUIREMENT.

SO THE NEXT MAJOR COMPONENT OF OUR SECOND INTERIM REPORT, AS ALWAYS, IS OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTIONS.

[00:25:08]

BACK IN JANUARY, IT WAS RELEASED.

SO WE REVIEW IT, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS ONLY A PROPOSAL, SO WE KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME CHANGES AND SOME REVISIONS UNTIL IT'S FINALLY ADOPTED BY THE STATE AT THE END OF JUNE.

BUT UNTIL THEN, IT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AND WE PULL OUT OF THE PROPOSAL SOME MAJOR ITEMS. IN THIS CASE, IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT PERCENTAGE COLA.

SO WITH THAT, WE LOOK AT THE OTHER FACTORS THAT WE INCLUDE WHEN WE'RE REVIEWING OUR CURRENT YEAR REVENUE AND SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS FOR LQF REVENUE AND ANY OTHER IMPACTS THAT THE BUDGET MAY HAVE PROPOSED.

SO NOW I WANTED TO POINT OUT OUR FUNDED ADR, OUR AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE THAT WERE ACTUALLY PAID ON ISN'T ACTUALLY WHAT WE REPORTED AT P ONE. SO IT INCLUDES EACH YEAR IS AN ACTUAL RESULT OF A THREE YEAR AVERAGE CALCULATION.

SO AS WE GO EACH YEAR, RIGHT NOW WE'RE USING OUR ACTUAL P ONE MORE REFLECTS YEAR THREE BECAUSE WE'RE STILL SOFTENING THAT BLOW.

WE'RE STILL TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LAST TWO YEARS IN THAT THREE YEAR AVERAGE CALCULATION.

SO WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT OUR FUNDED ADR.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MENTIONED WAS THE FUNDED COLA PRESENTED IN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL.

IT HAS NOW INCREASED FOR 23-24 TO 8.13%.

THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM WHAT WAS REPORTED AT FIRST INTERIM.

THE INFORMATION THAT WE REPORTED THEN WAS COLA WAS AT 5.38%, WHICH IS GREAT.

BUT WHAT I ALSO NEED TO NOTE ON THE SAME AT THE SAME TIME IS THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 24-25, AT FIRST INTERIM, WE REPORTED A 4.02 COLA AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A 3.54.

SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE WE MIGHT SEE A BOOST IN FISCAL YEAR 23, 24, BUT WE'RE SEEING A DECLINE IN THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS.

SO BUT AGAIN, IT'S ONLY A PROPOSAL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO WAIT WHAT THE FINAL BUDGET PRESENTS.

OTHER ITEMS THAT WE DO INCLUDE EVERY YEAR IS ONGOING STEP AND COLUMN COSTS.

ANY PENSION RETIREMENT RATE CHANGES.

PER'S IS SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE CONTRIBUTION THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO SET ASIDE.

STIRS RIGHT NOW IS NOT PROJECTING AN INCREASE.

WE ALSO INCLUDE INFLATIONARY COSTS AND THIS IS BASED ON THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AND WE APPLY THAT INFLATION RATE TO ALL OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, OUR SUPPLIES, ANY CAPITAL OUTLAY THAT WE MAY HAVE BUDGETED THIS YEAR.

WE USE THAT AS A STEPPING OFF POINT FOR OUR NEXT TWO YEARS PROJECTIONS.

WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SHOW THE AVERAGE DOLLAR THAT WE GET PER ADA TO SHOW THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR STUDENTS ATTENDING CLASSES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE HEALTHY TO COME TO CLASS.

SO THE AVERAGE IS THAT WE DO GET $12,000 IF A STUDENT ATTENDS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO WE LIST HERE THE PROJECTED LOSS AND GAIN FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND CURRENT YEAR.

SO WE ARE PROJECTING IF WE LOOK OUT, WHAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS OUR THIRD YEAR OUT, WE'RE AT A 16.3% ENDING FUND BALANCE. AND I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, THAT NUMBER, THE THIRD YEAR OUT, WAS AT AN 8%.

AND THAT'S ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FACT THAT LAST YEAR THERE WERE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW ADR WAS GOING TO BE CALCULATED.

WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT OUR ENROLLMENT AND ATTENDANCE WOULD BE LIKE TODAY.

BUT NOW WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION.

WE WERE ABLE TO DO MORE REASONABLE PROJECTIONS.

SO WE ARE PROJECTING A THIRD YEAR OUT OF OVER 16% ENDING FUND BALANCE.

SO AS ALWAYS, WE MEET OUR REQUIRED DISCLOSURES OF WHAT IT WOULD BE THE 3% MINIMUM FOR CURRENT YEAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS AND OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE AND ANY AMOUNT OVER THAT 3% STATE REQUIRED MINIMUM.

NOW, WE AS A DISTRICT HAVE DECIDED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A SOUND FUND BALANCE TO MEET THE UNEXPECTED EXPENDITURES DUE TO WEATHER CHANGES, ROOFING LEAKS, THINGS LIKE THAT, MAKING SURE THAT OUR FACILITIES AND OUR STUDENTS ARE

[00:30:09]

SO WITH THAT, WE ARE CERTIFYING A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION AND WE'RE ENSURING THAT OUR FUND BALANCE IS MEETS THE REQUIRED RESERVES AND THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MEET ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT AND SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS.

NOW NEXT STEPS.

ONCE IT'S APPROVED, WE WILL SUBMIT OUR SECOND INTERIM TO TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION FOR LOS ANGELES FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL UP TO THE STATE.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO FILING OUR PE TO ATTENDANCE REPORT, WHICH ACTUALLY WILL BE THE ONE THAT WILL BE FUNDED ON.

SO WE ANTICIPATE THAT TO BE IN MID APRIL.

WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THE CURRENT YEAR UPDATE TO THE LCAP AND MOVE FORWARD ON CREATING NEXT YEAR'S LCAP AND WE ARE LOOKING AT NOT LOOKING I'M SORRY. WE ARE STARTING OUR BUDGET MEETINGS, SO THAT IS ABOUT A PROCESS OF THAT COVERS ABOUT TWO AND ONE HALF MONTHS WHERE WE SET ASIDE AN APPOINTMENT WITH EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL SITE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM, INCLUDING OUR LEADERSHIP HERE AT THE DISTRICT, OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO PUT TOGETHER A COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT BUDGET THAT WE WILL THEN PRESENT TO THE BOARD IN JUNE, ALONG WITH THE LCAP AND AND WE THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THAT IS WHEN THE STATE APPROVES ITS BUDGET.

SO WE'LL WAIT FOR THE MAY REVISE TO PROVIDE US GUIDANCE ON HOW WE SHOULD BUILD OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

I THINK THAT'S LIKE MID MAY.

SO WITH THAT, I WANTED TO ALWAYS THANK OUR SENIOR DIRECTOR OF FISCAL SERVICES, JASMINE ORTEGA, AND HER TEAM.

SHE JUST JUMPED RIGHT IN.

THIS IS THE MIDDLE OF HER FIRST YEAR AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL HER HELP.

AND SHE'S DOING A GREAT JOB.

ANY QUESTIONS? REAL QUICK. JASMINE AND SONIA, MY COMPLIMENTS.

THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. JUST BECAUSE COMING OUT OF COVID, I KNEW THAT ATTENDANCE AND HOW WE CALCULATE THE BUDGET USING ATTENDANCE, IT HAS CHANGED AND IS CHANGING.

AND I WAS WONDERING MAYBE IF SOMETIME DURING THIS MONTH YOU COULD GET US THE INFORMATION OF LIKE WHAT OUR ATTENDANCE IS OR MAYBE WHEN WE GET TO 2P2, WE WOULD BE REALLY NICE, MAYBE WHERE IT'S BEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND WHERE WE ARE.

THAT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO ME.

THANK YOU. WE WILL SHARE THAT.

COULD I PIGGYBACK ON THAT? ACTUALLY, THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WAS, YOU KNOW, YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR PROJECTED ADA AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE DECREASE.

MY QUESTION WAS, HOW ARE WE CALCULATING IT? BECAUSE IT'S SIGNIFICANT.

AND THE BASELINE IS P ONE YET.

WE'RE GETTING READY. WE'RE GETTING READY FOR P TWO.

YES, BUT WE HAVE TO TURN THIS REPORT INTO THE COUNTY.

WELL, IT'S ALWAYS OUR FIRST PRIORITY TO BE CONSERVATIVE.

SO LAST YEAR WAS A YEAR WHERE OUR P TWO ADA WAS EXTREMELY LOW FOR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAPPENED THAT LAST YEAR.

SO THIS YEAR WE REALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO P ONE BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO SET A NEW STANDARD.

IT WAS GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY OUR NEW FLOOR AND WE USE HISTORICAL PERCENTAGE RATES AS BEING ACCOUNTANTS.

WE LOVE DATA. SO WE HAVE CHARTS AND HISTORICAL DATA THAT COMPARE WHAT OUR P ONE CHANGE IS TO P TWO.

SO DEPENDING ON A HISTORICAL CHANGE FROM P ONE, WE CAN PROJECT WHAT WE MAY SEE AT P TWO.

NOW WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HOPE FOR A DRAMATIC TURN UP IN THOSE NUMBERS, BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE A BASIS FOR OUR CALCULATION.

SO THE MECHANICS OF P ONE, P TWO, THE MECHANICS OF WHAT GOES INTO THOSE CALCULATION I THINK WOULD BE USEFUL NOT JUST FOR US, BUT I THINK FOR THE FOLKS IN THE GALLERY AND THE FOLKS WATCHING AT HOME.

MY OTHER QUESTION IS ON SLIDE NUMBER FIVE, SIMPLE SLIDE.

AND YOU DID A NICE JOB OF EXPLAINING IT.

BUT YES, IT'S A SHOCK IF YOU JUST GLANCE AT IT.

RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT ADDITIVE.

RIGHT. OH, I'M SORRY.

YEAH. I THINK HE'S REFERRING TO THE FIRST INTERIM LOSS.

YES. THERE WE GO.

SO IT'S A TREND, RIGHT? YES. SO WE'RE NOT ADDING $5 MILLION TWICE.

WE'RE JUST SHOWING A NET CHANGE.

YES, CORRECT. SO AT FIRST INTERIM, WE HAD A LOT WE REPORTED AN OPERATING LOSS.

OUR TREND IS THAT WE DO IMPROVE AS THE YEAR GOES ON, OF COURSE.

YES. AND SO THAT I'M JUST SHOWING THE IMPROVEMENTS SO FAR, RIGHT? YES. THANK YOU, SONIA.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD ABOUT CALCULATION OF ADA IS SO THIS YEAR IS A FIRST YEAR.

IT'S NOW A THREE YEAR AVERAGE.

AND SO HISTORICALLY, WE WOULD BE AT THE 96% ADA, COVID LAST YEAR.

[00:35:05]

AND SO INSTEAD OF THE STATE SAYING, OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FUNDED JUST ON THAT 91 OR 92% LAST YEAR, YOU CAN ROLL THREE YEARS IN WHAT YOU SEE ON THE THIRD YEAR OUT, WHICH IS WHY IT'S LOWER. IT DOES NOT REFLECT LOWER ENROLLMENT.

IT REFLECTS THE FACT THAT AS OF SO FAR, THE ATTENDANCE HAS NOT GONE UP.

SO WE EXPECT IT THIS YEAR TO BE UP AGAIN AT 96%.

WE'RE STILL AT 92%.

AND SO WHEN YOU DO THAT, THE THIRD YEAR OUT IS TAKING THOSE 90 TWOS AND ROLLING THEM IN, WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE 9100 ON THE THIRD YEAR.

RIGHT. BUT WE'RE GOING TO HOPE THAT DOES GO UP, NOT HOPE.

WE'RE GOING TO PROACTIVELY FIX IT.

YES. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SECOND INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT? SO MOVED. SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT. ON TO THE RECEIVE OUR FIRST READING OF BOARD POLICIES.

[16.2.1. Receive First Reading of Board Policies ]

THEY REFLECT CHANGES IN CALIFORNIA LAW.

BEFORE WE GO FURTHER, I WANT TO PULL BOARD POLICY 1112 MEDIA RELATIONS OUT.

WE WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

LOOK AT THAT ONE REVISED AND BRING BACK AT A LATER DATE FOR A FIRST READ AT THAT POINT.

SO WE'LL PULL ONE TWO.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE OTHER 14 ARE READY FOR FIRST READ.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT IS ELECTION OF CANDIDATES TO THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION.

[16.2.2. Election of Candidates to the California School Boards Association Delegate Assembly]

YES. SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO VOTE ON THE CCPA DELEGATE ASSEMBLY.

THIS ASSEMBLY CONSISTS OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND WORKS TO ENSURE THAT CCPA REFLECTS THE INTERESTS OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

THE BALLOT HAS TWO CANDIDATES VYING FOR TWO SPOTS, AND THEY'RE BOTH INCUMBENTS TO THE POSITIONS.

WANT TO MAKE A MOTION OR NO.

OKAY. THAT WILL DIE FOR LACK OF A MOTION ON TWO REPORTS FROM THE BOARD.

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

SURE THING. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY EVENT COMING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

THERE WILL BE A FOOD DRIVE KICKING OFF ON MARCH 9TH AND FOOD CAN BE DROPPED OFF FROM 5 P.M.

TO 8 P.M. AT THE SAN DIMAS MASONIC LODGE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MY GOOGLE CALENDAR, MY WIFE AND I SHARE GOOGLE CALENDAR AND I FIND NEW THINGS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE SHE'LL PUT RANDOM THINGS IN THERE.

THE ONE I FOUND OUT TODAY WAS THIS IS, I BELIEVE, AND I GOOGLED IT JUST TO MAKE SURE.

THIS IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.

SO I LOOKED AT THAT AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING TO KEEP IN A RESOLUTION GOING FORWARD.

BUT THEN I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, WANTED TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I FOUND, SOME OF WHICH WOULD BE SURPRISING.

AND KEEP IN MIND, I WAS BORN IN 1974.

MOST OF THIS TOOK PLACE BEFORE I WAS BORN, BUT NOT TOO MUCH BEFORE WE HAD THE 19TH AMENDMENT PASSED IN 1919. WE HAD A DIFFERENT PANDEMIC BACK THEN AND RATIFIED 1920 AND THAT ALLOWED WOMEN TO VOTE IN 1962. CALIFORNIA WAS THE FIRST STATE IN THE UNION TO ALLOW WOMEN TO HAVE THEIR OWN BANK ACCOUNTS.

IN 1974, THE YEAR I WAS BORN, THE EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT WAS PASSED TO ALLOW WOMEN TO HAVE THEIR OWN CREDIT CARD WITHOUT THEIR HUSBAND HAVING TO SIGN FOR IT.

ALL OF WHICH I FOUND SURPRISING.

1974 TO ME SEEMS LIKE RECENT HISTORY.

IT WOULDN'T BE FOR MY DAUGHTER.

SHE WOULD SEE THAT AS ANCIENT HISTORY.

BUT FOR ME THAT'S PRETTY RECENT.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME OTHER DATA THAT I FOUND.

WOMEN MAKE UP IN THIS COUNTRY 51.1% OF THE POPULATION.

THEY LIVE LONGER THAN MEN FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES.

I THINK COLLEGE GRADUATION RATES ARE ABOUT EQUAL NOW, AND THAT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.

AND SINCE 2016, THERE ARE MORE WOMEN GRADUATING WITH A DEGREE THAN MEN AND THESE ARE JUST ALL INFORMATION I FOUND.

AND THEN I WAS LOOKING AT BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE THE ARGUMENT, WELL, THERE'S SOME REALLY AMAZING WOMEN IN HISTORY, QUEEN VICTORIA, MARGARET THATCHER, THERE'S PEOPLE WERE VERY AWARE OF. BUT THEN THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO I FEEL LIKE GOT CHEATED IN HISTORY.

AND I JUST WANTED TO MENTION A COUPLE PEOPLE, ROSALIND FRANKLIN AND MY WIFE AND I, WE NAMED OUR DAUGHTER AFTER ABIGAIL ADAMS, BUT ROSALIND WAS ONE OF THE NAMES WE CONSIDERED.

SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DISCOVERING DNA.

PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT WITH WATSON AND CRICK.

AND SHE WAS ALSO VERY INSTRUMENTAL WITH US LEARNING ABOUT VIRUSES.

AND BY THE WAY, SHE TOOK X-RAYS OF THESE AND SHE DIED OF OVARIAN CANCER BECAUSE OF THE X RAYS.

AND IT'S JUST THE YEAH, THERE'S A BUNCH OF DRAMA THERE.

HEDY LAMARR AND SHE WAS A FAMOUS ACTRESS, BUT SHE ALSO ENDED UP WORKING ON RADIO WAVES AND WAS LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL

[00:40:07]

SO ANYONE WHO'S WATCHING THIS ONLINE AT SOME LEVEL, HEDY LAMARR'S CONTRIBUTION IS WHY YOU CAN SEE THIS AND WHY I'M SPEAKING INTO THIS MICROPHONE AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN THERE IS OTHER PEOPLE.

ONE, THAT'S MY DAUGHTER'S CURRENT FAVORITE IS OLGA OF KIEV.

SHE'S AN EASTERN ORTHODOX SAINT AND ALSO MASS MURDERER AND SAVED THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE WHEN HER HUSBAND WAS ASSASSINATED.

ALSO INSPIRED GAME OF THRONES TO SOME DEGREE, THE RED WEDDING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

YEAH, THAT WAS HER.

AND THEN THERE WAS QUEEN NAJARA AND SHE'S SOMEONE WHO ENDED UP SAVING HER COUNTRY AND HELPING KIND OF COLD BLOODED.

BUT SHE MADE IT WHERE HER PEOPLE WEREN'T ENSLAVED, JUST ALL THEIR NEIGHBORS WERE.

SO SHE, THROUGH WARS AND DIPLOMACY, ENDED UP MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO, I THINK IT WAS ANGOLA.

AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THIS IS TO SAY WOMEN'S HISTORY ISN'T JUST THE FIRST, BUT THERE'S ALSO EXAMPLES OF BEING THE BEST.

AND I THINK THOSE ARE STORIES THAT WE CAN KIND OF GET SOMETHING FROM.

AND I FOUND IT TO BE A VERY GOOD READ.

AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, THEN NJINGA ONE IS ACTUALLY ON NETFLIX.

SO I WATCHED ALL THE SERIES BECAUSE I GOT COVID AND I HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

SO VERY ENTERTAINING.

WOMEN'S HISTORY AND SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL CHEER TEAM WHO IS LIKE THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS OR THE NEW YORK YANKEES OF CHEER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE HERE EVERY YEAR.

I JUST THINK THEY HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM AND THEY'RE DOING GREAT WORK.

AND AS A FOLLOW UP, AS OF YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH, STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS OFFICIALLY WALKED AWAY FROM THEIR 15 MONTH PURSUIT IN MAKING COVID 19 VACCINES MANDATORY FOR CHILDREN.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TRACKING SINCE THAT EFFORT STARTED.

GOOD EVENING.

IN TERMS OF BONITA STUDENT EVENTS THIS MONTH, I WAS THRILLED TO ATTEND THE ELEMENTARY SPELLING BEE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHERE CARLOS YOVA JOVELLANOS FROM GLADSTONE WON IN THE FIFTH ROUND FROM WITH THE WORD WENT OUT WITH THE WORD FOREIGN.

BUT I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I FOLLOWED ALONG AND I DIDN'T GO OUT UNTIL THE THIRD ROUND, SO I WAS PRETTY PROUD OF MYSELF TO MAKE.

AT LEAST IN THE THIRD ROUND.

I WAS ALSO ABLE TO SPEND TWO DAYS WITH TEACHERS FROM LA VERNE HEIGHTS AND SCHOLL FOR THE FILMING OF ADVANCED PHONICS AND READING COMPREHENSION LESSONS.

THESE LESSONS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WHEN A NEW WEBSITE CALLED READING UNIVERSE GETS PUT UP LATER THIS YEAR.

AND I WANT TO THANK LIZ QUEZADA, STEPHANIE FINCHER, DANA GRILLO, LINDA KNOWLES, KIM SCHNEIDER AND CARA GALLEGOS.

THEY'RE ALL FANTASTIC TEACHERS WHO VOLUNTEERED TO WORK WITH THEIR STUDENTS AND FILM THEIR LESSONS.

AND DEREK, IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE FILMING CREW, ALL FEMALE.

IT WAS REALLY AWESOME.

THERE WAS A STILL PHOTOGRAPHER THAT WAS MALE, BUT EVERYBODY IN THE ACTION WAS FEMALE.

LAST WEEK, I ALSO HELPED WITH THE SOROPTIMIST.

THAT'S A WOMAN'S PROGRAM, A DREAM IT BE IT PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES CAREER SKILLS AND MENTORING FOR 16 YOUNG LADIES FROM CHAPARRAL. AND IT WAS SO ENJOYABLE HERE IN THE BOARDROOM FOR BOTH THE STUDENTS AND THE SOROPTIMIST MENTORS.

I HAVE A COMPLIMENT THIS EVENING ALSO FOR SERVICES TONIGHT, THE BOARD APPROVED THE FIRST ORTON-GILLINGHAM TRAINING FOR STAFF AND BONITA.

THIS IS A BIG STEP TOWARDS FURTHERING OUR STAFF'S UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO SUPPORT STUDENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE WITH DYSLEXIA OR OTHER READING DISABILITIES.

WITH LEARNING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF READING.

I LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING THOSE TRAININGS AND NEWS AND NOTES NEXT WEEK.

THERE'S GOING TO BE CONFERENCES IN ELEMENTARY AND A STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY, AND I KNOW TEACHERS ARE WORKING HARD ON THEIR ASSESSMENTS AND REPORT CARDS AND I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND THE TIME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE SPENDING MEETING WITH BSD FAMILIES.

THANK YOU. OH, AND I WANT TO COMPLIMENT TO DANIELLE WALKER, HER STAFF AND EVERYBODY WHO TOOK PART WITH THE PARENT PARTICIPATION MEETING.

I GOT SICK AND I COULDN'T GO.

BUT I HEARD YOU HAD OVER 50 PEOPLE IN THE RAIN COMING OUT.

AND I JUST THINK THAT'S AWESOME.

SO GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT, LOVE, WHEN YOU GUYS TALK FIRST, IT CUTS DOWN MY LIST.

I AM ALSO HIRED AT THE OREGON GILLINGHAM AS A PSYCH.

YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT'S THE GOLD STANDARD OF READING INTERVENTION.

SO WE DO INTERVENTION AND WE DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

SO THANKS TO ED SERVICES AND THE NEW ED SERVICE PERSON, HOPEFULLY COMING ON SOON.

UM, IT IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH, BUT IT'S ALSO AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH.

I'M PROUD TO SAY WE HAVE ANOTHER GOLD STAR PROGRAM WE HAVE HERE IN BONITA FOR WORKING WITH THOSE STUDENTS.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF INVESTED IN THAT.

UM, PROBABLY THE ONE EVENT THAT WASN'T MENTIONED I GOT TO GO TO WAS LA VERNE SINGS.

THAT WAS AT RAMONA MIDDLE SCHOOL.

IT WAS GYM. THERE WAS PEOPLE OUTSIDE, HUNDREDS DEEP IN LINE.

AND WHAT IT WAS, THERE WAS ALL THE RAMONA CHOIRS, THE DIFFERENT VARIOUS CHOIRS, ALL THE BONITA HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS WERE THERE, THEN ALL THE ELEMENTARY KIDS AND CHOIR, FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE CAME OUT AND THEY ALL SANG AND SHOWCASED THEIR DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND AT THE END THEY SANG ALL TOGETHER.

SO IT WAS OVER 600 KIDS THERE SINGING AT ONCE.

AND I KNOW LIKE THE WAY I COME FROM WITH THE SPECIAL ED BACKGROUND, WE KNOW WE INVEST EARLY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

INTERVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH.

WE SEE GREAT RESULTS IN THE FUTURE.

JUST WATCHING THE FOURTH GRADERS THERE WHO NORMALLY I SEE IN A TALENT SHOW ARE LIKE, OH, THEY'RE CUTE, THEY'RE HAVING FUN.

BUT THEN THOSE KIDS WITH THE RIGHT INSTRUCTION AND INVESTMENT EARLY BECOME THOSE HIGH SCHOOL BONITA SINGERS THAT GO ALL OVER THE WORLD AND PERFORM IN LIKE AMERICAN IDOL, BE SOMETHING EASY FOR THEM.

SO SEEING THAT PROGRESSION FROM JUST KIDS WITH THAT PASSION FOR IT TO THE POWERFUL VOICES.

I LOVE OUR ARTS PROGRAM, HOW WE START EARLY AND INVEST EARLY AND WE SEE GREAT RESULTS THERE.

SO THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF INVOLVED THERE THAT PUT THAT TOGETHER BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL EVERYBODY THERE WAS FOR MUSIC TEACHERS THERE AND STAFF.

JUST GETTING ALL THE LOGISTICS TOGETHER MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE IT WAS A FREEZING DAY, WINDY DAY, AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PARENTS WAITING OUTSIDE.

BUT WE PULLED IT TOGETHER AND IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE EVENTS I'M NOT GOING TO MISS IN THE FUTURE.

AND IT HAS SOME SPORTS THINGS.

[00:50:01]

IT'S GOOD FOR ME. I JUST THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW WE'VE CELEBRATED THE CHEER TEAM AND IT WASN'T THAT MANY YEARS AGO CHEER WASN'T EVEN A SPORT.

IT'S NOW A RECOGNIZED CIF SPORT.

I MEAN, THEY'VE HAD CHEER GOING BACK, I DON'T KNOW, 100 YEARS INTO HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, BUT IT WAS NEVER A RECOGNIZED SPORT.

AND NOW THAT IT IS.

IT'S JUST AMAZING TO ME THAT IN THREE YEARS WE WON CAF THREE YEARS IN A ROW AND STATE AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

AND I DON'T THINK OF ANY OTHER SPORT WE HAVE THAT'S HAD NATIONAL CHAMPIONS OTHER THAN CHEER.

SO AND I'LL GO BACK TO SOMETHING I BROUGHT UP YEARS AGO.

I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE A TROPHY CASE OUT IN OUR LOBBY WHERE OUR CIF AND STATE AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ARE RECOGNIZED, WHETHER IT'S A PICTURE OR A, YOU KNOW, A BAT OR A FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER IT IS SOMETHING OUT THERE TO RECOGNIZE OUR DIFFERENT CHAMPIONS OF THAT LEVEL.

AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO SEND KUDOS OUT TO OUR FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE PEOPLE, BECAUSE WITH ALL THE WEATHER THAT'S GOING ON, THE WIND, THE RAIN AND EVERYTHING ELSE, I DIDN'T HEAR A WORD OR A COMPLAINT FROM ANY SITE OR ANYBODY ABOUT PROBLEMS. IF THEY OCCURRED, THEY WERE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IT DIDN'T GET PASSED UP WHERE PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BUILDING.

SO IF YOU WANT TO PASS THAT ON TO YOUR MAINTENANCE PEOPLE, THAT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEY TOOK CARE OF IT.

AND IF NOT, THEY HAD IT DONE AHEAD OF TIME.

AND IT'S VERY APPRECIATED BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN IT GETS HOT AND THE ACS AREN'T WORKING OR IN THE PAST WHEN IT'S RAINED, THEY DON'T HESITATE TO CALL US AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AND WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.

SO PASS THAT ON AND SAY THANK YOU TO THEM.

AWESOME. AND I JUST WANTED TONIGHT TO HIGHLIGHT THREE RESOLUTIONS THAT WERE ADOPTED AS PART OF CONSENT.

THE FIRST MR PALATTO MENTIONED SIGNIFYING APRIL AS AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH.

THIS PROMOTES AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHALLENGES FACED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.

THE SECOND RESOLUTION RECOGNIZED THE WEEK OF APRIL 23RD THROUGH THE 29TH AS NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK.

OUR MEDIA CENTER ASSISTANCE ARE ESSENTIAL MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY WHO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN STUDENT LEARNING AND CLASSROOM TEACHER SUPPORT.

AND LAST IS A RESOLUTION THAT DESIGNATES MARCH AS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH.

THIS MONTH IS DESIGNED TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AND DEVELOPING SOUND EATING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS HABITS.

BONITA CELEBRATES THE FOUNDATIONS OF THESE RESOLUTIONS, AND I THANK THE INDIVIDUALS IN OUR DISTRICT WHO WORK EACH DAY FOR THESE CAUSES.
