HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT.

NUMBER ONE IS APPROVE THE DECLARATION OF NEED FOR FULLY QUALIFIED EDUCATORS FOR THE 2023 2024 SCHOOL YEAR.

THANK YOU. EACH YEAR, THE BOARD IS ASKED TO APPROVE THIS DECLARATION WITH YOUR APPROVAL.

THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE THE OPTION IF NEEDED, TO ISSUE A TEACHER AN EMERGENCY PERMIT TO COVER A CLASSROOM THAT MAY BECOME VACANT DURING THE YEAR.

IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO ISSUE A TEACHER AN EMERGENCY PERMIT BECAUSE THERE IS AN INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF CREDENTIALED TEACHERS IN THE AREA OF NEED.

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

DEREK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START? YEAH. WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.

THAT'S ALL I GOT. BREVITY.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SHARE.

NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY.

THREE OF OUR SENIORS FROM ONE FROM EACH OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS NOMINATED BY THEIR COUNSELORS.

JASON OXMAN FROM SAN DIMAS, NATALIE BOLANOS, WHO IS OUR PRESIDENT HERE IN ON THE BOARD FROM VISTA AND RILEY MARTINEZ FROM BONITA WERE RECOGNIZED BY BADAMU.

IT WAS A LOCAL CHAPTER OF DELTA KAPPA GAMMA INTERNATIONAL.

THEY EACH RECEIVED CITIZENSHIP AWARDS AND CHECKS, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR AND GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE, AS ALWAYS, IN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WAY AND SEEING WHAT POSSIBILITIES ARE.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO PROJECT BOONE, WHO ONCE AGAIN ARE STEPPING UP TO DONATE BACKPACKS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED STUDENTS.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WELCOME BACK EVENT.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU SET A HIGH BAR LAST YEAR, MATT.

SO HERE, HERE.

VERY GOOD. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

YOU KNOW, AS BONITA CONTINUES TO BE A DESTINATION DISTRICT, I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY WELCOME ALL OUR NEW STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL AS OUR NEW DEAN OVER AT LONE HILL, HEIDI TAGGART, OUR NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL, NICOLE BURGESS, AND THE NEW DEAN OF STUDENTS AT CHAPARRAL, KENDRA LEWIS, AND OF COURSE, HERE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING, MARIA MORENO.

I WAS PLEASED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, ON CONSENT TONIGHT, WE PASSED WHAT AMOUNTS TO 22.7 FTE INCREASE IN OUR FOOD SERVICES. AND I WONDER IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE US A MINUTE ON AB 185, THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BLOCK GRANT. I'D BE HELPFUL.

SURE. SO WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT IS THAT IT'S ONE TIME MONEY THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE STATE. WHILE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A MISNOMER IN THAT IT'S IDENTIFIED AS THE ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS.

BLOCK GRANT, IT'S ACTUALLY INCLUDES ALL OF THE CONTENT AREA.

SO IT'S ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, YES, MATH, SCIENCE, COMPUTERS, HISTORY, ALL CONTENT AREAS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS BLOCK.

GRANT THE LANGUAGE OF THE GRANT IS VERY BROAD, SO IT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT OUR STANDARDS BASED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.

MOST OF THE MONEY IN OUR GRANT PLAN IS ALLOCATED TOWARDS MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL PORTION IS ALLOCATED TO OUR BCA TO UPDATE TECHNOLOGY AND ENHANCE SOME STAGING FOR ALL OF OUR VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS THERE. SO THERE IS A PLAN AND THERE'S CRITERIA AND YES, ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH. THANK YOU, KEVIN.

ALSO, I WONDER ON SB 114 WHAT OUR CURRENT STATUS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, RULES THIS YEAR, RIGHT? YEAH. THANK YOU. SO IN EARLY JULY, WE WERE HEARING ABOUT CHANGES REGARDING TC AND CLASS SIZE CAPACITY.

ON JULY 18TH, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BILL AND IN PART THIS BILL CHANGED CLASS SIZE REQUIREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN.

THE NEW LAW REQUIRES THAT ANY CLASSROOM WITH WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN EARLY ENROLLEE DEFINED AS A STUDENT WITH A BIRTH DATE BETWEEN JUNE 2ND AND SEPTEMBER 1ST, WOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM CLASS SIZE OF 20 TO 1, WITH A ADULT TO STUDENT RATIO OF 10 TO 1.

PRIOR TO THIS BILL BEING SIGNED, THE CLASS SIZE RATIOS WERE 24 TO 1, WITH AN ADULT TO STUDENT RATIO OF 12 TO 1.

PRIOR TO THIS BILL COMING INTO EFFECT, WE HAD ABOUT 100 OF THESE EARLY ENROLLEES ALREADY ENROLLED THROUGH STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

[00:10:06]

ABU SHAMA AND I ALL GOT TOGETHER AND STARTED BRAINSTORMING A PLAN THAT WOULD WORK BEST FOR OUR DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE EARLY ENROLLEES WERE IN OUR DISTRICT AND THAT WE WERE ABLE TO STILL BRING IN, PROVIDE A LOCATION FOR ALL OF THEM TO BE AT.

WELL, THAT WAS REALLY THE QUESTION IS SO BESIDES THE BACKGROUND, HOW IS IT GOING TO AFFECT OUR CAMPUSES? AND SO WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL CLASS AT LA VERNE HEIGHTS IN ORDER TO ADDRESS IT.

MR. ROGERS HAS HAD TO MOVE SOME STUDENTS OFF ONE CAMPUS ONTO ANOTHER CAMPUS LOCATION BECAUSE INSTEAD OF HAVING 48 SPOTS AT THAT SCHOOL NOW THERE ARE POSSIBLY ONLY 44, BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS AN EARLY ENROLLEE CLASS.

SO THE STUDENTS ARE ALL THEY HAVE.

THOSE EARLY BIRTHDAYS ARE ALL ENROLLED IN ONE CLASS.

SO THEY'D BE AT 20.

AND THEN THE STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE EARLY BIRTHDAYS ARE IN THE OTHER CLASSES WHERE WE WOULD HAVE THE 24 TO 1.

SO THAT'S ALREADY INTO PLACE AND WE WORK WITH THE ASSOCIATION ON HOW THE TEACHERS WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO EITHER THE EARLY ENROLLEES OR THE NON-EARLY ENROLLEES.

AND WITH THOSE STUDENTS, IS THAT THEIR HOME SCHOOL OR ARE WE HAVING TO KIND OF BRING THEM IN? FOR TK, THEY WEREN'T ALREADY GOING TO THEIR HOME SCHOOL, SOME OF THE KIDS, BUT FOR MARK'S DONE HIS BEST TO TRY TO PUT ALL THOSE KIDS AT THE HOME SCHOOLS IF THERE'S SPACE FOR THEM.

FOR EXAMPLE, AT SCHOOL, WE NEVER HAD SPACE FOR ALL OF THE KIDS THAT WERE GOING TO GO THERE ANYWAY.

SO, SOME OF THE KIDS WERE GOING TO OTHER SCHOOLS.

BUT MARK'S DONE THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE TO GET AS MANY KIDS FOR THEIR HOME SCHOOL INTO THEIR HOME SCHOOL.

BUT WE DID LOSE SOME CAPACITY FOR TC.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND THAT BILL IS ONLY IN EFFECT FOR THE 23 AND 24 SCHOOL YEAR AND 24-25, AND THEN IT GOES AWAY AS FAR AS WE KNOW, RIGHT.

THE 20 TO 1 AS FAR AS WE KNOW.

BUT THERE WON'T BE EARLY ENROLLEES ANYMORE AFTER THAT YEAR.

FAIR ENOUGH, BECAUSE THEN WE'RE TAKING ALL THOSE KIDS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1ST.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND SPECIAL THANKS TO SONIA.

I KNOW SHE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT, BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT SPECIAL FUND, THE SPECIAL RESERVE FUND FUND 20.

AS ALWAYS, I LIKE TO TRY AND DRILL DOWN AND UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS.

AND I WAS REMINDED THAT IN 1617, WE FUNDED A NEW WHAT AMOUNTS TO A CONTRIBUTION TO AN UNFUNDED LIABILITY. AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.

AND WHAT IT DOES IS FUND BENEFITS AND ASSOCIATED COSTS TO RETIREES FOR THOSE WHO MEET THE CRITERIA.

AND IT'S GROWN OVER THE YEARS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW IS THE INSURANCE REBATE THAT WE RECEIVE EACH YEAR ACTUALLY GETS ADDED TO THAT FUND.

20, CORRECT? IT'S ACTUALLY GROWN OVER THE YEARS.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY AN ENCROACHMENT ON THE GENERAL FUND, SO I WAS PLEASED TO LEARN THAT.

AND THANK YOU TO SONIA.

AND LASTLY, PRE-SEASON FALL SPORTS, OF COURSE, ARE UNDERWAY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR ANNUAL SMUDGE POT.

AND THIS YEAR IT'S GOING TO BE OVER AT MOUNT SAC.

SO THANK YOU TO THAT PARTNERSHIP.

AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. SO WELCOME TO THE 2324 SCHOOL YEAR AND TEACHERS WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK AND I AND STUDENTS SOON AFTER THAT.

AND I'VE BEEN VERY PLEASED AS I'VE DRIVEN AROUND OUR TWO CITIES TO SEE OUR SCHOOLS BEING SPRUCED UP WITH SOME WITH NEW ASPHALT PAINTING AND CLASSROOMS AND THE WHOLE FACILITIES READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

SO MANY THANKS TO OUR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT AS THEY WORK HARD TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR 13 SCHOOLS, GETTING THEM READY AS PARENTS LOOK TO BRINGING THEIR CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL. I'M HOPING THEY CAN SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS BY ENCOURAGING THEIR CHILDREN TO ENTER THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR WITH KINDNESS.

A TEACHER FRIEND FROM THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA RECENTLY POSTED A MESSAGE TO PARENTS, AND I WANTED TO PARAPHRASE IT TONIGHT IN A NUTSHELL, IT SAID, SCHOOL IS ALMOST STARTING, AND I WANT TO ASK YOU A FAVOR.

SIT DOWN WITH YOUR CHILD FOR FIVE MINUTES AND EXPLAIN AS THEY GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND SEE OLD FRIENDS AND MAKE NEW ONES THAT THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE KIND.

THERE IS NEVER ANY GOOD REASON TO MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE FOR BEING TALL, SHORT, CHUBBY, SKINNY, BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, AUTISTIC, ET CETERA.

AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CHILDREN WEARING THE SAME SHOES EVERY DAY TO SCHOOL OR USING THE SAME BACKPACK FROM LAST YEAR.

A USED BACKPACK CARRIES THE SAME DREAMS AS A NEW ONE.

SO PLEASE TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO BE INCLUSIVE AND TO NOT EXCLUDE ANYONE FOR BEING DIFFERENT OR NOT HAVING THE SAME POSSIBILITIES AS OTHERS.

EXPLAIN THAT TEASING HURTS AND THAT SCHOOL IS FOR LEARNING AND FRIENDS AND SUPPORTING EVERYONE.

I SENT THIS PARTICULAR MESSAGE TO MY GRANDSON TWO DAYS AGO WHO STARTED MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ANOTHER DISTRICT, AND HE TEXTED BACK TO ME WITH A THANK YOU AND AN EMOJI WITH A SMILE AND A THUMBS UP.

SO I HOPE YOU ALL GET A SIMILAR POSITIVE RESPONSE WHEN YOU PREP YOUR CHILDREN FOR GOING TO SCHOOL.

BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR.

[00:15:03]

YOU STILL GOT TWO WEEKS.

TAKE IT. GO RUN WITH IT.

MOST OF US ARE BACK IN SESSION.

SO ENJOY WHEN POPULATIONS ARE ALREADY BACK.

I'M A NEW FATHER OF A HIGH SCHOOLER, SO MY SON JUST STARTED NINTH GRADE.

AND BEFORE THAT, I'M AN EDUCATOR.

MY WIFE'S AN EDUCATOR. WE GOT SUMMERS OFF, WE VACATED.

WE DIDN'T COME BACK TO THE DAY BEFORE, BUT NOW FRESHMAN YEAR COMES AND NOW MY KID WANTS TO PLAY FRESHMAN FOOTBALL AND DO SUMMER SCHOOL.

SO NOW I'VE REALLY SEEN THE COMMITMENT OF ALL THESE KIDS THAT ARE THERE ALL DAY LONG AND SUMMER GOING FROM 8 TO 2.

I SEE FOOTBALL, I SEE GIRLS FIELD HOCKEY, SEE THE BAND OUT THERE.

SO THESE KIDS ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR EDUCATION AND THEIR PASSION.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING I LOVE TO SEE.

SAME WITH THE TEACHERS WHO VOLUNTEER AND TRY TO WORK SUMMER.

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT CONGRATS TO YOU AS WELL AS ALL THE CLASSIFIED STAFF OUT THERE.

THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY DON'T THINK THEY EVER GET A BREAK.

SO THANK YOU GUYS TO YOU, TOO.

BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR ME.

BUT EVEN MY SON PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL.

I KNOW THAT GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL IS COMING OUT, I MEAN, IN THE NEWS A LOT.

AND IT'D BE SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SEE GIRLS OUT THERE PLAYING AS WELL, SOMETHING WE MIGHT BE MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR.

BUT THAT'S ALL.

ENJOY YOUR LAST TEN DAYS.

WELL, VERY KIND OF SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS WE'RE NOT BACK YET.

I'LL SAY WELCOME BACK NEXT MONTH WHEN YOU'RE BACK AT SCHOOL, ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF AND WE WILL HAVE OUR NEW EMPLOYEES.

WELCOME COMING UP NEXT WEEK.

AND THEN OUR WELCOME BACK FOR ALL OUR REGULAR EMPLOYEES AT THE BCA.

BUT TO THE REST OF YOU, ENJOY THE REST OF THE SUMMER, YOU'RE STILL TIME, NOT TIME FOR ADMINISTRATORS BECAUSE THEY'RE BACK AND WE HAVE WELCOMED THEM BACK.

IT WAS A GREAT MEETING WITH THEM LAST THURSDAY TO GET THEM THINKING ABOUT 2324 TEACHERS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BACK NEXT WEEK.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM IN THE SAME ROOM ON AUGUST 18TH.

AND OF COURSE, WE'VE GOT 10,000 KIDS COME IN AUGUST 21ST.

IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY EXCITING SCHOOL YEAR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO REENGAGING WITH THE COMMUNITY FOR THIS YEAR.

OKAY. REQUEST TO SPEAK ON NON AGENDA ITEMS, COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC.

[16. REQUESTS TO SPEAK ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC]

WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A CARD IN A SECOND, BUT WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK NO ONE FROM PTA BUDDHA CSA OR BUMPED.

OKAY. JUST GO.

OKAY. GO AHEAD.

YOU'RE IT TODAY.

HELLO. I'M ELENA NORD.

I HAVE TWO KIDS IN THE DISTRICT, AND I WAS JUST WANTING TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN FURTHER STEPS IN TRAINING FOR ACTIVE SHOOTERS FOR OUR DISTRICT.

I KNOW THAT IT'S.

IT WAS. I'M A SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL FOR RAMONA.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT PART OF OUR INITIAL SAFETY PLAN AS A AS A OUR GROUP PUSHED FOR THAT.

THEY KIND OF ADDED SOME WORDING INTO IT.

WHAT I HEARD IS THINGS THAT BALL BALL WAS KIND OF DROPPED AFTER WE LOST COLE LAST YEAR AND THERE WERE GOING TO BE STEPS TAKEN TO DO ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND PLANNING FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT SITES.

JUST WAS HOPING TO GET SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT THAT KIND OF IS TURNING INTO AND HOPING THAT THAT'S BEING ADDRESSED.

YEAH, WE CERTAINLY HAD A NUMBER OF SITES LAST YEAR ENGAGED WITH BOTH CITIES, POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

YEAH, THEY WILL CONTINUE THAT ENGAGEMENT AND WE'LL LOOK TO CONTINUE THAT PARTNERSHIP IN THE FUTURE.

OKAY, GOOD. YEAH, I KNOW THAT WITH RAMONA, WE BROUGHT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN.

THEY WERE A PART OF THE PROCESS AND THEY WERE STARTING TO GET THE BALL ROLLING IN THAT.

BUT THEY MENTIONED THAT THE DISTRICT HAS TO KIND OF PARTNER AND THAT IS BEING DONE DISTRICT WIDE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS THE CASE, THAT THAT IS BEING DONE.

YEAH, WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BOTH CITIES TO DO THAT.

OKAY. GOOD, GOOD.

AND THEN SECOND, WELL, I GUESS I'LL SPEAK WITH YOU GUYS INDIVIDUALLY, BUT I'M DOING A LITTLE BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER EVENT IN MY AT MY HOUSE FOR ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO TO ATTEND, WE'RE GOING TO JUST PRAY OVER WHOEVER COMES AS WE'RE GOING INTO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

SO ANYBODY WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION AFTER THIS.
