THANK YOU GUYS. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU. AND IT'S NOT JUST A RANDOM LIKE WE SHOULD DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU BUT THERE'S ALSO A PERSONAL
[00:05:02]
LEVEL. IN 2014 MY MOM HAD A STROKE IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT STROKE IT ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE BRAIN SCANS IT AFFECTED ABOUT A THIRD OF HER BRAIN AND SHE HAD RIGHT SIDE LEFT SIDE NEGLECT. THERE WAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS SHE HAD. AND WHEN I WAS IN SAN DIEGO MY MOM GOT LOST WHICH MY MOM MY WIFE CALLED ME TO TELL ME MY MOM WAS LOST. AND WITHIN AN HOUR MY WIFE HAD CALLED AND SAID THE SHERIFF'S HAVE FOUND HER. SO FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS ALWAYS GET ENOUGH CREDIT.THANK YOU FOR FINDING MY MOM AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SERVICE YOU GUYS DO. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT. OTHER POINTS OF BUSINESS WE HAVE ON OCTOBER 7TH THE WESTERN DAY ON THE 11TH THROUGH 13 THE RODEO IN SAN DIMAS. THERE'S A REALLY INTERESTING CONFERENCE ON OCTOBER 12TH FROM 9 A.M. TO 12:00.

TASTE OF LAVERNE AND LAVERNE LILY TRUNK OR TREAT IN OLD TOWN LAVERNE. THERE'S A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FOOTBALL GAME COMING UP BETWEEN BONITA AND GLENDORA SHOULD BE PRETTY INTERESTING. AND FINALLY ON THE THINGS COMING UP I HAVE MAYOR KENDRICK IS RELEASING A VIDEO ON GLEN DAVIS STADIUM. FINALLY ANOTHER THING THAT ATTRACTED ME TO THIS AREA WAS OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR SCHOOLS DO AN AMAZING JOB. ONE OF THE THINGS MY DAUGHTER STRUGGLED WITH AND IT'S NOT REALLY A STRUGGLE SHE DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB. HER GRADES ARE PRETTY WELL BUT HER WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HER HANDWRITING AND WE GOT A SAMPLE OF HER WORKED ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AGO AND IT IS AMAZING. SHE HAS GROWN DRAMATICALLY AND NOW SHE'S WRITING LETTERS TO HER FRIENDS SO THANK YOU TEACHERS AND ALL THE STAFF THAT'S WORKED WITH THEM I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT. FINALLY I WAS. MY WIFE WAS TALKING TO MY DAUGHTER'S TEACHER AND I DISAGREE. MY DAUGHTER SOMETIMES THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE ISSUES BUT MY I GUESS SHE WAS TALKING TO HER TEACHER AND THEY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD RAPPORT BECAUSE OUR STAFF DEVELOPS GOOD RAPPORT WITH OUR KIDS AND SHE ASKS SO ABBY DO YOU GO TO THE BOARD MEETINGS WITH YOUR DADDY AND WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT MY LITTLE SEVEN YEAR OLD PRINCESS SAYS YOU KNOW THERE'S A REASON WHY THEY CALL THEM BOARD MEETINGS. SO. YEAH I GUESS EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I'LL TRY NOT TO BORE YOU. AGAIN. WELCOME TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. APPRECIATE YOUR GREAT TURNOUT. THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO SEE OUR BRAND NEW FACILITIES HERE SO. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIEW THAT YOU GOT. WANT TO WELCOME OUR STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HIGH SCHOOLS. WELCOME ABOARD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING ON THIS RESPONSIBILITY. I JUST HAVE TWO QUICK THINGS TO REPORT ON. EARLIER THIS MONTH WE HAD A LEARNING WALKOUT AT SHULL ELEMENTARY AND AT EKSTRAND ELEMENTARY AND IT'S ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING TO DO THESE LEARNING WALKS THE SUPERINTENDENT AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES TAKES BOARD MEMBERS TO THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS AND WE WALK IN AND OBSERVE AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. AND IT'S ESPECIALLY FUN TO GO TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE JUST ALSO EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY APPRECIATED SEEING WERE THE EXAMPLES OF SOMETHING THAT'S NEW THIS YEAR THAT THE DISTRICT'S DOING AND ITS MATH INTERVENTIONS. I GUESS WE'VE HAD READING INTERVENTIONS IN THE PAST WHERE CHILDREN THAT ARE HAVING A LITTLE STRUGGLE WITH READING WOULD BE PULLED OUT AND BROUGHT INTO A SEPARATE CLASSROOM WITH ADDITIONAL AIDES AND A TEACHER TO WORK ON THEIR READING SKILLS WE STARTED DOING THIS YEAR WITH MATH WITH THE KIDS. AND THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO GO A LONG WAYS TO HELPING THOSE KIDS GET MORE PROFICIENT IN MATH AND BRING US CLOSER TO OUR 80 70 MARK. ALSO THIS PAST MONTH AN ANNUAL PROGRAM THAT'S PUT ON BY THE TWO CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE OF SAN DIMAS AND LAVERNE IT'S ITS PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY. AND IN THAT CIVIC LEADERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS FROM SAN DIMAS AND LAVERNE SHADOW ONE OF OUR PRINCIPALS FOR WE SAY PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY IT'S REALLY MORNING THOUGH. BUT IT'S A IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CLASSROOMS FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSPECTIVE AND I GOT TO TELL YOU I FELT SO PROUD OF OF THE COMPLIMENTARY THINGS THAT ALL THE BUSINESS PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY LEADERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW GOING ON IN EACH OF THE CLASSROOMS AND THE SCHOOLS THAT THEY VISITED. IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S NOT MY DOING IT'S NOT THE BOARD'S DOING IT'S IT'S YOU KNOW PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS OUT THERE
[00:10:04]
DOING THAT WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND SO THEY HAD A LUNCHEON UP AT AT AROUND NOON.AND EACH OF THE PRINCIPALS FOR A DAY WAS WAS INVITED TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE AS A PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY. AND I DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY AND WON'T TAKE THE TIME RIGHT NOW TO PASS ON ALL THE COMPLIMENTS THAT THEY HAD FOR ALL OF OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR TEACHERS BUT IT WAS REALLY HEARTWARMING AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT EVENT EXPAND EVEN MORE SO NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. WELL THERE'S AN ADVANTAGE OF GOING LAST SO I WON'T REPEAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID. BUT I WANTED TO ECHO A FEW THINGS. AND FIRST AND FOREMOST THE PRINCIPAL OF THE DAY PROGRAM I AGREE WITH CHUCK IS SUCH A PHENOMENAL PROGRAM. I PARTICIPATED IN IT AND THIS YEAR AND I REALLY WANT TO APPLAUD THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE FROM BOTH SAN DIMAS AND LAVERNE FOR REALLY ORGANIZING THIS EVENT TO CONNECT TO OUR BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS WITH OUR SCHOOLS. IT IS SUCH AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE TO WALK IN THE SHOES OF OUR PRINCIPALS EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A MORNING TO SEE WHAT THEY DO ON BEHALF OF OUR KIDS. AND I EXPERIENCED [INAUDIBLE] WHICH IS NOT PART OF OUR DISTRICT.
I A LOT OF SIMILARITIES WITH A FOCUS ON THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS BUT THEY DO ALSO HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES. SO IT WAS AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE FOR ME TO WALK ON THE CAMPUS OF A PRIVATE INSTITUTION. SO I REALLY ENJOY THAT OPPORTUNITY AND ALSO WANT TO THANK THE PRINCIPALS OF EKSTRAND AND SHULL. I REALLY ENJOYED OUR LEARNING WALKS. AND YOU KNOW WHEN WHEN SCHOOL'S BACK IN SESSION I DO LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE LEARNING WALK. SO JUST WANT TO PLANT THE SEED FOR THE PRINCIPALS IN THE AUDIENCE. JUST DON'T HESITATE TO SHOW US ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON YOUR CAMPUS. AND WE REALLY ENJOY THOSE MORNINGS ON YOUR CAMPUS. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE CONTINUING. AND AGAIN WITH THE START OF THE SCHOOL HAVING OUR STUDENT MEMBERS BACK IT'S ALWAYS GREAT HEARING THE STUFF THAT'S GOING ON ON THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND ELEMENTARY. AND THEN LASTLY I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE PRESENTATIONS TONIGHT RECOGNIZING OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. I TYPICALLY MENTION ONE THING AT ALL OF THE MEETINGS AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT'S CALLED THE FULL AND FAIR FUNDING EFFORT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND IT'S A CHARGE THAT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION HAS LED AND WE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS SIGNED ON TO A RESOLUTION SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT.
EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DESERVES FULL AND FAIR FUNDING AND THERE'S AN INDIVIDUAL APP THAT YOU CAN SIGN ON TO. AND AS OF TODAY OVER 8000 INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS HAVE SIGNED ON SAYING THAT THE SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA DESERVE FAIR AND FULL A FULL AND FAIR FUNDING AND TO KIND OF GIVE YOU THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT. WE'RE THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AND I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT WE ARE THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.
AND UNFORTUNATELY AS A STATE WE ARE ONLY FORTY FIRST IN PER STUDENT FUNDING. AND IF YOU DON'T THINK WE CAN DO BETTER THEN FEEL FREE TO IGNORE MY PLEA TO SIGN ON TO THIS. BUT IF YOU THINK WE CAN DO BETTER FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR KIDS AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR CLASSROOMS AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO ONLINE AND SAY THAT OUR SCHOOLS DESERVE FULL AND FAIR FUNDING AND IT'S AN EASY WEB SITE. IT'S FULLANDFAIRFUNDING.ORG AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE STATISTICS. AND I'M CONFIDENT AS A PARENT AND AS A INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER THAT WE CAN DO BETTER. WE SHOULD DO BETTER. AND IF WE COLLECTIVELY RISE UP AND SHARE THAT WITH OUR LEADERS THEY WILL DEMONSTRATE THEIR SUPPORT FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS. THANK YOU. SO JUST TO ECHO OUR SCHOOL BOARD REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IN JUST A FEW MINUTES BEING ABLE TO PRESENT OUR FIRST RESPONDERS WITH WHAT WE CALL OUR OUR PURPOSE AWARD. AND AS YOU MAY BE AWARE THE SENATE PASSED A RESOLUTION WHICH DESIGNATED OCTOBER 28 HONORING THE
[00:15:03]
NATION'S FIRST RESPONDERS DAY. AND WHAT YOU GUYS DO TO SUPPORT MEN AND WOMEN HERE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF TO KEEP US SAFE DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED AND IS SO GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AND THEN I'D LIKE TO INVITE EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING ON NOVEMBER 6TH.

WELCOME. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.
[APPLAUSE]. GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT KOACH AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SUPERINTENDENT COLE'S CABINET MEMBERS AND AUDIENCE. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] AND I'M THE ASB PRESIDENT OF RAMONA MIDDLE SCHOOL. TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY SCHOOL AND SHARE SOME THINGS WITH ALL OF YOU. THIS YEAR RAMONA HAS STARTED OFF TO BE A GREAT ONE. WE HAVE THE MOST STUDENTS SINCE I HAVE BEEN AT RAMONA A WHOPPING ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE STUDENTS. WE HAVE ALSO IMPLEMENTED A NEW SYSTEM WE CALL PRIDE. THE LETTERS STAND FOR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY WHICH MEANS TAKING OWNERSHIP OF YOUR ACTIONS. RESPECT WHICH IS TREATING OTHERS HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED. INTEGRITY WHICH IS DOING THE RIGHT THING WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND. DRIVE WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO PUSH YOURSELF AND WORK HARD. AND LASTLY EMPATHY WHICH IS HAVING THE CAPABILITY OF RELATING TO AND OR PUTTING YOURSELF IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES. WHEN THE STUDENTS PRACTICE THE PRIDE SLOGAN. I BELIEVE THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS BECOME BETTER TO THE CITIZENS ON AND OFF CAMPUS. I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR SCHOOL'S ESTEEMED ASB PROGRAM THE NEW ASB CLASS OF THE 2019 TO 2020 SCHOOL YEAR HAS BEEN BUSY. WE RECENTLY HAD OUR FIRST DANCE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE THEME WAS UNDER THE SEA AND LET ME JUST SAY IT WENT SWIMMINGLY. BUT SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY WE HAD ONE OF THE LARGEST NUMBER OF ATTENDEES AT THE DANCE ALMOST 400 STUDENTS AND RIGHTLY SO. THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WE HAD GAMES OUTSIDE OUR DANCE COMMITTEE DID A GREAT JOB OF PLANNING FUN ACTIVITIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE THEME. WE ALSO OPENED THE SCHOOL STUDENTS STORE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. IT WAS A GREAT KICK START TO THE WEEK. WE RAISED THREE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL A NEW RECORD FOR THE STUDENT STORE. NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE MANY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES OUR SCHOOL HAS TO OFFER. RAMONA'S HIP HOP TEAM RAW FOR SHORT. RAW WAS FORMED FOUR YEARS AGO AND MEETS TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS AFTER SCHOOL FROM 3:30 TO 5:00 PM. IT PROVIDES STUDENTS A SAFE SPACE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN A CREATIVE WAY. RAW CAPTAINS WERE RECENTLY SELECTED AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE CHOSEN CHOSEN AS ONE. WE HAVE OUR FIRST PERFORMANCES OF THE SEASON COMING UP WHICH IS MADE PRACTICES MORE EXCITING AND JAM PACKED. PLEASE JOIN US AT THE BCA ON OCTOBER 22ND AT 5 P.M. FOR OUR FIRST FALL DANCE CONCERT. THE FALL SPORTS SEASON RECENTLY KICKED OFF AS WELL WHICH INCLUDES CROSS COUNTRY FOOTBALL AND VOLLEYBALL. RECENTLY THE FOOTBALL AND VOLLEYBALL TEAMS HAD HOME GAMES AGAINST SOUTH POINT MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WALNUT. ALL THE GAMES WERE FUN TO WATCH AND SHOWCASE THE TALENTS OF OUR ATHLETES. THE EIGHTH GRADE FOOTBALL TEAM WON 36 0 AND THE SEVENTH GRADE TEAM WON 370 - 0. IN VOLLEYBALL OUR SEVENTH GRADE TEAM WON THREE TO ONE AND OUR EIGHTH GRADE TEAM WON THREE TO ZERO. THERE WAS ALSO A CROSS COUNTRY MEET AT ROYAL OAK WHERE WE WON THE SIXTH GRADE BOYS RACE AND TOOK SECOND IN THE SIXTH SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE GIRL RACES. WE ALSO HAD FIVE OTHER STUDENTS PLACED IN THE TOP TEN OF THEIR RACES. AT THE END OF THE FALL SEASON RAMONA WILL TAKE ON TEAMS FROM LONE HILL. THE GAMES ARE NOVEMBER 4TH THAT LONE HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL AT 3 P.M. WITH THE DEDICATION OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES AND COACHES. I'M CONFIDENT THEY WILL EXCEL IN THEIR VARIOUS SPORTS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE YOU ON HOW THE SCHOOL YOUR HUSBAND SO FAR AT RAMONA MIDDLE SCHOOL AS THEY SAY IN FRANCE, BONNE NUIT. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY.
[00:25:09]

[13.2. Report on Maintenance and Operations Projects - Introduced by Susan Cross Hume]
REPORT ON OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS PROJECTS. SUSAN. THANK YOU. I AM VERY PLEASED TO INTRODUCE ROB HARRISON WHO IS OUR SENIOR DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS. ROB LEADS A TEAM OF OVER 50 SKILLED CRAFTS PEOPLE THERE ARE ARE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE CUSTODIANS GROUNDS CREW ALL WORKING TOGETHER ALL SUMMER LONG TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR ROUNDS WHILE THE KIDS ARE AWAY. AND HE IS GOING TO SHOW US A LOT OF GREAT PICTURES OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WENT ON THIS SUMMER. THANK YOU SUSAN. THANK YOU. BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENTS THANKS ADELA FOR THE LIGHTS ON MY SECRETARY REMINDED ME THAT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. SO THIS IS OF COURSE THE FOURTH OF JULY PARADES. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE DECORATING AND WHEN MY SUPERVISORS DAUGHTERS ARE DECORATING AS WELL. BUT THE STORY HERE I HAVE ONE SUPERVISOR LIVES IN SAN DIMAS DAUGHTER IN SHULL AND A DAUGHTER AT SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL. MY OTHER SUPERVISOR [INAUDIBLE] BACK HERE. TERRY LIVES IN LAVERNE USED TO SHAG FOOTBALLS FOR MY FATHER IN LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LAVERNE WENT THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT KIDS WENT THROUGH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND NEAT PART ABOUT TERRY IS HIS HOUSE WAS BUILT BY BONITA HIGH SCHOOL SHOP. THIS IS HOW WE START OUR SUMMER. THIS IS THE FRIDAY AFTER GRADUATION. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AND SISTER IN LAW COOKED FOR ABOUT 75 PEOPLE.HAD MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT BY BOB SCHULTZ AND ADRIAN WOODY [INAUDIBLE]. THEY DID A RENDITION OF HARD WORK DAY BY THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORDS A LITTLE BIT. HAD A GOOD TIME HAD ENOUGH FOOD TO SEND SOME PLATES HOME FOR SOME OF OUR SINGLE MOMS AND. SO FROM THERE ON FROM THERE WE REALLY BEGIN. WE DID THE ROOF UP AT OAK MESA.
IT'S THE HARDEST ROOF IN THE DISTRICT TO DO. THIS IS THE SIMPLE PART BUT I'VE BEEN CHIPPING AWAY AT IT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND FINALLY DID A BIG PUSH THIS YEAR. THAT'S THE ONLY ROOF WE DID ALL THE HVAC IS UP ON THE ROOF. PRIVACY SCREENS HAVE TO BE REMOVED. HVAC HAS TO BE LIFTED. THE PRIVACY SCREENS ARE WITHIN SIX INCHES OF THE PARAPET WALLS SO THAT IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO. IT TOOK ALL SUMMER. BIG JOB. SOME OF OUR [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS I DO THE LONE HILL GYM OR WE DO THE LONE HILL GYMS IN SPRING IN SPRING BREAK THEN THE HIGH SCHOOL GYMS IN
[00:35:05]
THE SUMMER THE SAN DIMAS TRACK HAD FADED QUITE A BIT. SUN BLEACHED OUT AND I NOTICED TWO YEARS AGO THAT WHEN WE WERE CLEANING UP FOR GRADUATION WE HIT IT WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER AND IT CAME BACK BLUE SO FOUND A COMPANY THAT WAS ABLE TO CLEAN THAT THEY HAD A SPECIAL MACHINE TOOK 45 MINUTES TO GO AROUND ONE LANE THEY WERE THERE ALL WEEK SCRUBBING THE TRACK AND IT CAME OUT REAL NICE SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT EVERY YEAR. THE DISTRICT OFFICE SORT OF HOW MY SUMMER STARTED MOVING IN APRIL I GOT A CHANCE TO WORK EVERY DAY IN APRIL ALONG WITH DANE AS WELL. DANE TOOK A FEW DAYS OFF TO GO TO SACRAMENTO TO GRADUATE FROM THE CASH MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR HIM BUT WE GOT MOVED IN THEN THIS WAS OUR NEXT RUSH. IT WAS THE STADIUM. AND THE PUSH TO BE THE FIRST SCRIMMAGE AND THE PUSH TO BE FOURTH OF JULY. THIS IS THE FIRST BIG HOME GAME. THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS OFF THE PRESS BOX. THE PICTURE OF COURSE IS ON THE PRESS BOX THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE GAME. ANOTHER BIG PUSH WAS ALL OF MAY TO GET THIS ROOM READY AND THE LOBBY READY FOR THE FIRST BOARD MEETING. SO WE DID PROP 39 WHICH WE DID 48 HVAC UNITS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AT SIX DIFFERENT SCHOOLS MY GUYS WORKED QUITE A BIT TO STAY AHEAD OF THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT ONE DAY ON THE ROOF IT WAS 105 ABOUT 120 REFLECTING OFF THE ROOF OF COURSE OUR SMARTER EMPLOYEES WERE WORKING IN THE SHADE. THESE ARE THE UNITS WE REPLACED THE BARRED UNITS ON ALL THE PORTABLE CLASSROOMS WERE HALF THE DISTRICT WE ALSO CHANGE OUT ALL THE DRIVE OVER AT LONE HILL SO WE COULD PUT THE PELICAN THERMOSTATS AT LONE HILL THERE'S OUR NEW UNITS COMING INTO BONITA HIGH SCHOOL. NEAT THING ABOUT THESE TITLE 24 BUT THEY ALSO HAVE SOUND DAMPENERS ON SO THEY'RE VERY QUIET. ONE LIBRARIAN TOLD ME THAT SHE ALWAYS HAD TO TURN THE HVAC OFF TO DO STORY TIME. NOW IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY. SHE LEAVES HER HVAC ON. THIS SUMMER I SLURRIED AT FIVE SCHOOLS SLURRIED AND PAINTED TRIED TO DO A FAIRLY LARGE IMPACT SO WE DID FIVE SCHOOLS. THE ONLY ASPHALT I TORE OUT WAS THE THE [INAUDIBLE] AROUND IT EKSTRAND WHICH WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE. GOT A CHANCE TO PAINT LONE HILL.EXTERIOR OF IT BUT WE ALSO PAINTED THE COMMON AREAS INSIDE WHICH WE USUALLY DON'T DO. SO WE PAINTED THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM ALL THE HALLWAYS THE FRONT OFFICE AND THE TWO COMMON ROOMS ON EACH SIDE. THIS IS SHORTLY AFTER THE CUSTODIANS HAD DONE THE FLOOR. SO IT'S THE BEST IT'S EVER GOING TO LOOK BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. DID SOME WORK IN THE KINDERS. DEBBIE WAS WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY AT THIS AT THE ONE SIDE OF HER KINDERGARTEN HAD AN OLD FOUR FOOT FENCE RE DID A SIX FOOT FENCE THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS NEW BLUE FABRIC. IT LOOKS VERY NICE. ROYNON THEY HAVE A LOT OF A LOT OF KINDRED KIDS IN THE NORTH CAMPUS. SO WE EXTENDED THEIR PLAY YARD TO HELP THEM WITH SUPERVISION RAN THE FENCE BACK TO THE WASH SO SHE HAD DOUBLED THEIR THEIR PLAY YARD.
AT SHULL WE WERE FIXING SOME CONCRETE AND I THOUGHT WELL IF WE RUN THE FENCE PARALLEL TO THE FRONT THE BUILDING WE STILL HAVE THE SAME LINE OF SIGHT BUT INCREASE THEIR PLAY YARD BY A LITTLE OVER TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET GRACE MILLER SOME FLAT WORK WE WERE DOING BECAUSE THE TREE CRACKED THAT WHOLE SIDEWALK I THINK WAS 60 FEET RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. THIS IS SOME HIGH WORK WE DO.
[00:40:07]
THE GOALPOSTS AT BONITA. THIS IS MY LOCKSMITH GOT TALKED INTO GOING UP ON THE [INAUDIBLE] CRANE TO WORK ON THE TOP OF THE FLAGPOLE SO HE'S ABOUT 40 FOOT UP THERE WISHING HE HADN'T COME TO WORK THAT DAY WE DID SOME WORK FOR TRANSPORTATION DURING THE WINTER A COMPANY GAVE US A CLASS ON HOW TO INSTALL LAMINATE FLOORING SO.THAT'S BEEN DONE WHERE WE'RE ABOUT READY WITH A TRANSPORTATION TRAILER TO GIVE THE DRIVERS A MUCH NEEDED BREAK IN TRAINING ROOM AND A QUIET ROOM TO REST BETWEEN RUNS WE ALSO BUILT A NEW OFFICE FOR ROSALEE OUR NEW TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR MADE HER VERY HAPPY THAT DAY. THIS IS THE FOOD ROOMS AT CHAP. THEY WERE STRUGGLING WITH MAKE DO AND STUFF SO WE WERE ABLE TO PUT IN A TRIPLE RINSE SINK SOME NEW VENTILATION. ORGANIZED IT DROPPED IN POWER POLES SO THEY CAN DO HOT PLATES ON ALL THEIR PREP TABLES AND MADE THAT A NICE NICE AREA. THIS IS THE SIDEWALK RIGHT OUT HERE TO THE EAST OR TO THE WEST OF THE DO WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME PLANNING AND STUFF SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT OF CHAP TOO SO THAT LOOKS LIKE THE CHAP PARKING LOT ON THAT SIDE. EKSTRAND. [INAUDIBLE] WANTED TO BUY SOME MORE TABLES SO WE PAID FOR SOME CONCRETE TO SET IT ON. AND THOUGHT MAYBE IF WE JUST CONNECTED THE DISK THAT WE ALREADY HAD THERE IT WOULD LOOK KIND OF NEAT AND THEN. SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE I'LL PUT SOME STEPPING STONES IN THERE AND SOME PAVER STONES SO THE KIDS WON'T HAVE TO WALK IN THE MUD IN THE WINTER. THAT'S THE GUYS PUTTING TOGETHER THE TABLES. WE TEAM UP QUITE A BIT. THIS IS A PTA PROJECT AT GLADSTONE.
THEY'RE READING GARDEN RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE WEATHER TO COOL DOWN. WE'LL START PLANTING THAT. IT'S A NICE AREA FOR THE KIDS THIS IS ANOTHER PTA PROJECT AT GRACE. WE TRENCHED OUT POWER FROM THE ROOM RAN DATA AND POWER OUT TO THE NEW MARQUEE THAT THE PTA PURCHASED. DID SEVERAL OFFICES THIS YEAR. LONE HILL THEY WANTED ONE COUNSELOR OFFICE. RAMONA TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO CHOP UP A CLASSROOM THAT THEY WERE USING AS A BREAK ROOM. I STILL HAVE THE BREAK ROOM. SINK AND STUFF IN A RECEPTION AREA BUT I HAVE TWO COUNSELORS OFFICE IN THAT ROOM. WE HIT GROUND PRETTY HARD WITH TOP SEED VARIATION. THE MIDDLE PHOTO IS THAT ANOTHER VOLUNTEER PROJECT AT SHULL. AND THAT'S A RICH [INAUDIBLE] MAKING SURE THE WATERING IS GOING WELL IN. THIS IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE IT'S RICH [INAUDIBLE] WONDERING WHY WE HAVE ALL OUR PLUMBING BENEATH OUR LARGEST TREES. BUT IT WORKS OUT BETTER.
THEY GET PAID BY THE HOUR. LANDSCAPING GUYS HAD TO STAY STAY AHEAD OF THE PROP 13 BECAUSE SOME OF OUR UNITS WERE SO OLD THEY WERE TREED IN SO WE HAD TO TAKE SOME TREES DOWN SO THEY COULD COME IN AND REPLACE THE UNITS. DOING OUR FINAL CLEANING THIS THIS ON THE LEFT SIDE THERE'S A GUM REMOVER WHICH WE FOUND IS COMPLETELY GREEN. IT WORKS ON VEGETABLE OIL BEET OIL HEATED UP WITH PROPANE AND I WAS THINKING WE WOULD TAKE ALL OF THE GUM OFF AROUND THE BUILDINGS THE CUSTODIANS REALIZE IT CLEANED IT OFF THE CARPET SO. THAT'S WHERE IT SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME WAS CLEANING CARPET WHICH WAS A GREAT. CUSTODIANS GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL. GABBY ON THE RIGHT IS IS GETTING READY FOR THE NEW TEACHER BREAKFAST. [INAUDIBLE] IS WORKING WITH THE HEAD CUSTODIAN DOING WINDOWS SAFETY IS A BIG PART OF OUR SUMMER SO EVERYONE WHO NEEDED

SO COOLING TOWELS WE TRAIN AS MUCH AS WE CAN DURING THE SUMMER. ALL THE CUSTODIANS TRAINED WITH THE NEW CHEMICALS WE'RE USING. THIS IS THE SYNTHETIC TURF TRAINING AS IS FIELD TURF. GIVING A CLASS TO BOTH THE THE THE BONITA SIDE AND THE SAN DIMAS SIDE GROUNDS SIDE. THIS IS TOWARDS THE END OF THE SUMMER. BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS HOST A LUNCH FOR THEIR CREW THAT THAT CLEANS THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS BECAUSE WE WAIT UNTIL SUMMER SCHOOL IS DONE. THEN WE HIT IT PRETTY HARD. SO THERE'S A COUPLE CUSTODIANS FROM OTHER SITES. THERE'S A STUDENT WORKERS THAT [INAUDIBLE] AT SAN DIMAS IS HOSTING THERE AND COURSE MY GUYS ARE HAVING A PIZZA LUNCH.

THE ONES ON THE PORTABLE CLASSROOMS. THAT'S WHY WE CHANGE THEM OUT. YEAH.
THAT. MAYBE YOU CAN ADDRESS HOW THAT FINANCING IS FOR ALL THOSE NEW AIR CONDITIONERS. SO PROP 39 IS A SPECIAL FUNDING THAT WE GOT THROUGH THE STATE. IT WAS A FIVE YEAR GRANT AND WE'RE FINISHING UP ALL OF OUR PAYMENTS OR SPENDING THE REST OF THE MONEY THAT WE HAD NOW AND WE'VE SPENT MOST OF IT ON AIR CONDITIONING AND WE HAVE PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS THAT GO AT THOSE TOO AND THEN YOU'D MENTIONED SOMETHING AT LONE HILL YOU REPLACE SOME SUCH TO DO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING.
THE DRIVE MOTORS SO THEY WOULD WORK WITH OUR PROGRAMABLE THERMOSTATS SO THEY START UP SLOW. AND THAT'S MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT ALSO. YES. GREAT OKAY. THANKS. IT LOOKS WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. THANKS. [APPLAUSE]. NEXT FROM THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
[13.3. California School Boards Association Presentation on K-12 Education Initiatives - Introduced by Carl Coles]
ASSOCIATION WE'VE GOT A PRESENTATION ON K TO 12 INITIATIVES. LIKE TO SEE A FAMILIAR FACE JUST LIKE YOU. WELCOME BACK. ANGELA. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO TO WITH CSPA AND KEEPING US ALL UPDATED. WELCOME TO BONITA. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. THANKS. I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. ANGELA VASQUEZ I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT IT'S ALWAYS A TREAT TO COME BACK TO LAVERNE. I DID MY FRESHMAN YEAR AT ULV. MY BROTHER GRADUATED FROM ULV SO IT'S ALWAYS A TREAT. I LIVE IN L.A. NOW BUT IT'S ALWAYS A TREAT TO COME BACK TO TO LAVERNE. SO WITH A NEW GOVERNOR'S[00:50:02]
ADMINISTRATION AS I THINK MANY OF US PREDICTED IT WAS A BIT OF THE WILD WEST IN THE LEGISLATURE. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT BILLS THAT WENT TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK WHICH IS 111 MORE THAN WAS SENT TO GOVERNOR BROWN IN 2018. SO FOLKS FOLKS WERE BUSY IN SACRAMENTO. VERY VERY BUSY. CSBA WAS VERY BUSY AS WELL. SO WE SENT 64 BILLS TO THE GOVERNOR 64 BILLS THAT WE HAD AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON. SO OUR LOBBYISTS WERE ALSO WORKING THEIR TAILS OFF AS WELL. THE FIRST ONE OF OF NOTE ONE THAT CSBA HAS BEEN WORKING ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW WE HAVE BEEN STRONGLY OPPOSED TO SENATE BILL 328. SENATOR PORTANTINO LATE START BILL WE WERE SUCCESSFUL AT BEATING THAT BACK LAST YEAR IN CONVINCING THE GOVERNOR TO VETO IT. GOVERNOR BROWN VETOED THE BILL BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND AND UNFORTUNATELY WE WE FEEL LIKE THE GOVERNOR HAS SIGNALED PRETTY STRONGLY THAT HE WILL SIGN THIS BILL AS A REMINDER WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO IS REQUIRE THAT ALL NON RURAL MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS CANNOT BEGIN BEFORE 8 O'CLOCK MIDDLE SCHOOLS OR 8:30 FOR HIGH SCHOOLS. SO THIS IS A HUGE HUGE UNFUNDED MANDATE ON SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS CALIFORNIA. YOU KNOW CSBA HAS NOT YOU KNOW HAS NOT OPPOSED THE SCIENCE. THERE'S THE SENATOR HAS BEEN PRETTY VOCAL ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW THAT LATER START TIMES THEORETICALLY WILL HOPEFULLY ALLOW KIDS TO SLEEP AND LATER GET MORE SLEEP. THAT SAID THAT THIS IS AGAIN A HUGE UNFUNDED MANDATE THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE GRAPPLING WITH. AND SO WE'VE WE'VE BEEN OPPOSED THAT'S BEEN OPPOSED TO THIS ONE SIZE FITS ALL MANDATE. IF IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED WE YOU KNOW CSBA IS ASKING MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS TO EMAIL THE GOVERNOR AND URGE HIM TO VETO THE BILL. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS ALTHOUGH LIKE I SAID HE'S HE'S SIGNALED HIS SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL ALREADY. SO CSBA HOPES IN THE COMING MONTHS TO REALLY BE POSITIONING OURSELVES TO HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH IMPLEMENTATION BECAUSE AGAIN THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF CHALLENGES AROUND TRANSPORTATION PARTICULARLY WITH BUS SCHEDULES ET CETERA. SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT WHEN WHEN THIS. THIS LIKELY WILL BE PASSED THAT HOPEFULLY CSBA WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES. THE NEXT ONE OF PRETTY BIG IMPORTANCE. ASSEMBLY BILL 48 FACILITIES BOND SO PENDING THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE AND AGAIN WE WE FEEL LIKE THAT HE HAS SIGNALED THAT HE WILL SIGN AB 48 THERE THERE WILL BE A HUGE EDUCATION FACILITIES BOND ON THE MARCH 2020 BALLOT. SO IT WOULD GENERATE 15 BILLION DOLLARS IN STATE FUNDS FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES. OF THAT 15 BILLION 9 BILLION WOULD BE FOR K TO 12. SO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT MONEY WOULD BE FOR MODERNIZATION.SO WE'VE SORT OF STEM THE TIDE WITH SCHOOL OVERCROWDING FOR THE MOST PART ACROSS THE STATE. AND ADVOCATES WERE PRETTY CLEAR WITH WITH THE LEGISLATURE THAT WE NEED MONEY FOR MODERNIZATION THAT WE NEED TO TAKE CLASSROOMS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE 80S. YOU KNOW SINCE THE 60S AND AND BRING THEM BRING THEM UP TO MODERN STANDARDS ALSO ALMOST 3 BILLION FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AN ADDITIONAL 150 MILLION FOR LEAD IN WATER TESTING AND REMEDIATION AS WELL AS 500 MILLION FOR A CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND CHARTER SCHOOLS. SO THERE WERE SOME POLICY COMPONENTS EMBEDDED IN AB 48. SO SHOULD THIS SHOULD THIS PASS AND GET ON THE BALLOT AND THEN VOTERS APPROVE IT IT WOULD INCREASE THE STATE GRANT AMOUNT CHANGE IT TO A SLIDING SCALE BASED ON A DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO GENERATE LOCAL FUNDS SO ESSENTIALLY HISTORICALLY BOND FUNDS HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW SORT OF FIRST FIRST TO THE TO THE TABLE AT THE STATE WOULD GET MOST OF THE MONEY SO SCHOOL TYPICALLY FAVORING LARGER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHO HAD WERE VERY SAVVY AT THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR BOND FUNDS. SO THE LEGISLATURE ATTEMPTED TO SORT OF REVISE SOME OF THAT SO THAT AT LEAST WOULD GIVE SMALLER SCHOOL
[00:55:07]
DISTRICTS A FIGHTING CHANCE AND ALSO SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT DEMONSTRATED MORE NEED. SO IF THEY HAD A LESS WEALTHY PROPERTY TAX BASE FROM WHICH TO DRAW FROM THERE ARE SOME COMPONENTS IN AB48 THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT WOULD GENERATE MORE FUNDING STATE MATCHING FUNDS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHO DID NOT HAVE A PROPERTY TAX BASE FROM WHICH TO DRAW. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ONE THAT AGAIN WE ARE HOPING THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL SIGN AB 751 THE PATHWAYS TO COLLEGE ACT WOULD ALLOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADMINISTER ADMINISTER AN ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT EITHER THE S.A.T.OR THE ACT TO 11TH GRADE STUDENTS IN PLACE OF THE SMARTER BALANCED SUMMATIVE TEST AND IT REMOVES A BARRIER TO COLLEGE ATTENDANCE FOR STUDENTS WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS OR TAKE THE SATS OR THE ACTS. CHARTER SCHOOL BILLS. THIS IS MORE RELEVANT FOR MY FRIENDS IN THE BAY AND OUT IN L.A. BUT SOMETIMES FUN POLITICS IF YOU'RE INTO IT. THERE WERE THERE WERE A FLURRY OF CHARTER SCHOOL BILLS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THAT IS OF INTEREST TO YOU. AGAIN A LOT OF LEGISLATION AROUND PETITIONS AND RENEWALS. YES. SO WE HAVE LIKE I SAID WE HAVE A LOT OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE WHO ARE VERY VERY INTERESTED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR EDUCATION POLICY. SOME OTHER BILLS OF NOTE MEDICAL CANNABIS. SO AGAIN SB 223 WOULD AUTHORIZE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO ALLOW A PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO ADMINISTER MEDICAL CANNABIS TO THEIR CHILD ON SCHOOL GROUNDS IN A NON-SMOKING AND NON VAPING FORM IF THE CHILD IS A QUALIFIED PARENT. AGAIN WE WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL SIGN THAT BILL. AB 7 7 3. VOTER EDUCATION WOULD REQUIRE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO IMPLEMENT VOTER EDUCATION PROGRAMMING DEVELOPED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND CDE FOR 12TH GRADE STUDENTS DOING DURING AN ON CAMPUS PRESENTATION OR ASSEMBLY. SO REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO ARE TURNING 18 AS SENIORS ARE YOU KNOW BECOMING ACTIVE IN CIVIC AND POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHAT DID NOT PASS UNFORTUNATELY AB39 MURASTUCHI BILL ON LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA FUNDING. SO THIS BILL EXPRESSES A LEGISLATIVE INTENT TO INCREASE THE LCFF BASE GRANT TARGETS EQUIVALENT TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN PER PUPIL FUNDING. SO YOU KNOW WHILE THIS BILL DID NOT ALLOCATE ANY FUNDING TO GET US TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE WE WE FELT LIKE AS A CO-SPONSOR THAT IT WOULD HAVE SIGNALED AN IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE INTENT TO GET US TO GET CALIFORNIA TO THE STATE AVERAGE. IT WAS MADE A TWO YEAR BILL CSBA IS IS STILL GOING TO FIGHT REALLY HARD TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE GETTING TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN PER STUDENT SPENDING. AND THANK YOU TO BOARD MEMBER LYONS FOR FOR DOING THAT LITTLE PITCH THERE. HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION AT THE END OF MY PRESENTATION ON FULL AND FAIR FUNDING. WHAT ALSO DIDN'T PASS WAS HB 331 AN ETHNIC STUDIES BILL SO IT WOULD HAVE ADDED A ONE SEMESTER COURSE IN ETHNIC STUDIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT BEGINNING IN 2024. SO IT'S HELD AS A TWO YEAR BILL IN THE SENATE SO TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL WE FIND OUT ABOUT THE STATUS OF A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION. YOU KNOW OF COURSE BOARD MEMBERS FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON PARTICULAR LEGISLATION I'M TYPICALLY NOT THE EXPERT BUT I HAVE I HAVE OUR LOBBYISTS ON SPEED DIAL WHO'S GOING TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU HAVE THEM. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK OUR BLOG IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION OR UPDATES ON SPECIFIC PIECES OF LEGISLATION. SO LIKE I SAID BOARD MEMBER LYONS THANK YOU FOR TEEING UP MY FULL AND FAIR FUNDING PITCH I THINK IT WAS HERE LAST YEAR WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT REALLY HOW POORLY THE STATE IS FUNDING OUR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND OUR STUDENTS. SO AS BOARD MEMBER LYONS SAID WE ARE DEPENDING HOW YOU DICE THE DATA EITHER FORTY FIRST OR THIRTY EIGHTH IN THE NATION IN PER STUDENT SPENDING. SO WHAT WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT UP TO 40 OTHER STATES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE FUNDING PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION BETTER THAN
[01:00:01]
CALIFORNIA. AND AS WAS STATED EARLIER WE ARE THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. SO JUST LAST YEAR WE JUMPED OVER THE U.K. AND WE'RE THE LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES ARE ARE WE ARE A WEALTHY WEALTHY STATE. AND WE ARE ALLOWING 40 OTHER STATES TO FUND THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS BETTER THAN US. AND I YOU KNOW I PERSONALLY FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE AND I KNOW THAT EDUCATORS AND STAKEHOLDERS AND PARENTS AND STUDENTS BELIEVE THAT OUR KIDS DESERVE JUST AS MUCH AS EVERY OTHER KID ACROSS THE U.S. AND SO CSBA IS REALLY TAKING UP THE MANTLE TO TAKE THAT FIGHT TO THE LEGISLATURE AND POTENTIALLY EVEN TO THE VOTERS TO SAY THAT WE WE WANT FULL AND FAIR FUNDING FOR OUR FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. HERE ARE SOME MORE STATISTICS ABOUT SORT OF HOW HOW TERRIBLY WE'RE DOING IN PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS GIVE ME MAJOR HEARTBURN AS FORTY FIFTH IN STUDENT TEACHER RATIOS 48TH IN STUDENT COUNSELOR RATIOS AND 48TH IN OVERALL STUDENT STAFF RATIO FIFTIETH IN STUDENT TO LIBRARIAN RATIOS WHICH IS CRAZY. SO WHAT DOES WHAT DOES FULL AND FAIR FUNDING LOOK LIKE. WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO ADEQUATELY FUND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THAT WOULD IT WOULD MEAN AN ADDITIONAL TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS PER KID. IMAGINE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. IMAGINE WHAT AN ADDITIONAL TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ADDITIONAL TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR STUDENTS PUBLIC EDUCATION. AND IF WE ACTUALLY WERE COMPETITIVE IF WE WANTED TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA AND GET TO THE AVERAGE OF THE TOP 10. SO JUST RIGHT THERE. MAYBE NUMBER FIVE. THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR STUDENTS PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM WOULD LOOK IF THEY HAD EACH KID HAD AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO CSBA LIKE I SAID IS LEADING THE CHARGE TO GET TO FULL AND FAIR FUNDING. WE ARE HOPING TO TO TO REALLY DEMAND THAT THE LEGISLATURE OR REALLY GO TO THE VOTERS AND ASK THE VOTERS TO FULLY FIT FULLY FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.WE HAVE WE HAVE EXPLORED THE POSSIBILITY OF REVENUE INITIATIVE A STATEWIDE TAX INITIATIVE THAT WOULD RAISE 15 BILLION DOLLARS FOR K TO 14 SCHOOLS AND WHAT 15 BILLION DOLLARS WOULD DO IS IT WOULD GET US TO THAT NATIONAL AVERAGE. SO WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER KID. IT WOULD INCREASE THE TAX RATES ON WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS SO A MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE OF TAXABLE INCOME. AND LARGE CORPORATIONS SO LIKE I SAID WE ARE A WEALTHY STATE. AND IN FACT MY COLLEAGUE JUST MY COLLEAGUE JUST FORWARDED ME AN ARTICLE THAT SAID MARKETWATCH DID AN ANALYSIS ABOUT TAX BURDEN STATES. IT'S A IT'S A MYTH THAT CALIFORNIA IS A TAX BURDEN STATE. WE DID NOT CRACK THE TOP 10 BUT ILLINOIS DID. SO IT'S WE AREN'T WE ARE A VERY WEALTHY STATE AND WE ARE CHOOSING NOT TO FUND OUR STUDENTS AT A COMPETITIVE LEVEL. AND SO LIKE I SAID CSBA IS IS REALLY HOPING THAT YOU WILL JOIN US IN SIGNING THE PETITION AND CALLING ON EACH OTHER AND CALLING ON THE LEGISLATURE TO GET US TO GET US TO A FULL AND FAIR FUNDING SO PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION FULLANDFAIRFUNDING.ORG AND YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN WHEN CSBA NEEDS YOU TO SUPPORT US AND YOUR KIDS NEED YOU TOO. QUESTIONS. ONE QUICK QUESTION AT THE START ON THE 8:00 START THING. YES. YOU MENTIONED NON RURAL SCHOOLS.
WHO AND HOW IS DETERMINED. WHAT DOES A LONE RURAL SCHOOL. IT'S SQUISHY. IF THERE THERE IS SOME LANGUAGE I DON'T HAVE IT ON ME RIGHT NOW. BUT ITS MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO NOT QUALIFY BASED ON HOW OUR LOBBYISTS ARE READING IT. SO IT'S LIKE FOLKS UP IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT'S VERY VERY YOU KNOW RURAL TOWNS YOU KNOW UP IN VERY VERY NORCAL SO VERY UNLIKELY. ALMOST CERTAINLY NO SCHOOL DISTRICT IN L.A.
COUNTY WILL QUALIFY AS RURAL. OK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY THANKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT. CSBA HAS BEEN LEADING THE CHARGE AND A FEW YEARS AGO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THE PHRASE FULL AND FAIR FUNDING AND SO TO
[01:05:04]
HEAR FULL AND FAIR FUNDING IN THE STATE OF THE STATE BY OUR GOVERNOR THIS LAST YEAR.THAT IS QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. AND SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO BE THAT BROKEN RECORD UP IN SACRAMENTO. TALK TO THE LEGISLATORS THAT DON'T SIT ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HOUSES SO THAT THEY CAN START TALKING ABOUT FULL AND FAIR FUNDING. AND I ENCOURAGE EVERY STUDENT WHO'S IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY GO HOME AND TALK TO YOUR PARENTS AND SHARE THE WEBSITE FULLANDFAIRFUNDING.ORG SO THAT THEY BECOME MORE AND MORE EDUCATED SO THAT THEY CAN ADVOCATE ON YOUR BEHALF. I'LL REPEAT IT. WE ARE THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AND YET WE'RE IN THE BOTTOM WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. IF YOU DON'T THINK WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THEN DON'T ASK YOUR PARENTS TO CHIME IN. BUT IF YOU THINK WE CAN BE A BROKEN RECORD AT HOME UNTIL THEY SIGN THAT PETITION BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO COME BACK BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR WE'RE CURRENTLY AT ABOUT EIGHTY THREE HUNDRED SIGNATURES. I'D LOVE TO START THE NEW YEAR OVER 10000 SIGNATURES BECAUSE THAT SENDS THE MESSAGE TO EACH AND EVERY LEGISLATURE LEGISLATOR UP IN SACRAMENTO THAT THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU. THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOUR FUTURE AND THIS IS AN INVESTMENT THAT PAYS TREMENDOUS DIVIDENDS. AND I CAN JUST REMEMBER MY DAD TALKING ABOUT HOW HIS FATHER UPROOTED THE FAMILY THE LYONS FAMILY FROM BOSTON TO GO TO THE GOLDEN STATE OF CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OF THEIR EDUCATION. AND MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER CREDIT THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN CALIFORNIA IN THE 60S AND 70S TO ALLOWING THEM TO REALIZE THE AMERICAN DREAM. AND WE NEED TO DO THAT FOR OUR KIDS TODAY AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS SO I JUST CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING THAT BROKEN RECORD UP IN SACRAMENTO ON BEHALF OF OUR DISTRICT BUT FOR ALL OF THE DISTRICTS STATEWIDE. THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]. WE HAVE A REPORT ON OUR 20 19 LOCAL INDICATORS FOR THE CALIFORNIA
[13.4. Report on the 2019 Local Indicators for the California Accountability Model and Dashboard - Introduced by Matthew Wien]
ACCOUNTABILITY MODEL AND DASHBOARD. ALL RIGHT AS PART OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY DASHBOARD THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO ANNUALLY REPORT TO THE GOVERNING BOARD ITS PROGRESS ON A NUMBER OF THOSE INDICATORS.HERE TO GIVE THIS REPORT ON OUR STATUS. DIRECTOR OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CHRIS [INAUDIBLE]. GOOD EVENING. IT IS MY DELIGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT OUR LOCAL INDICATORS. THIS IS OUR ANNUAL REPORT THAT WE DO IT REVIEW OF THE MEASUREMENTS WE'VE TAKEN FOR OUR LOCAL INDICATORS SO A LITTLE BACKGROUND. THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD WHICH YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH REPORTS BOTH STATE INDICATORS AND LOCAL INDICATORS THE STATE INDICATORS ARE DATA THAT'S GATHERED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR INCLUDING ACADEMIC DATA DATA ON CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. BUT THAT WILL BE RELEASED COMING UP IN DECEMBER 9TH FOR THE PUBLIC RELEASE TO EVERYONE SO WE'LL BE SEEING THAT NOT TOO LONG FROM NOW LOCAL INDICATORS. THESE ARE INDICATORS THAT ARE MEASURED LOCALLY AND DUE TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOVEMBER 1ST IS WHEN WE REPORT THOSE TO THEM AND THEY WILL APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN IT'S RELEASED PUBLICLY. THE STATE INDICATORS INCLUDE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM SUSPENSION RATE. ENGLISH LEARNER PROGRESS GRADUATION RATE COLLEGE AND CAREER ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS CASP DATA AND CAL ALT ALL DATA WHICH IS A CALIFORNIA ALTERNATIVE EXAM IN MATH AS WELL FOR BOTH OF THOSE ASSESSMENTS OUR LOCAL INDICATORS COVER 1 2 3 6 AND 7 AND I AM POINTING OUT THAT I KNOW THERE'S A FOUR AND FIVE MISSING. PRIORITY ONE IS THE BASICS. SO WE'RE AND WE'LL GO OVER EACH OF THESE PRIORITY TWO IMPLEMENTATION OF ACADEMIC STANDARDS PRIORITY 3 FAMILY AND PARENT ENGAGEMENT PRIORITY 6 IS LOCAL CLIMATE AND PRIORITY 7 IS BROAD COURSE OF STUDY PRIORITY FOUR IS ACTUALLY STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT THAT IS REPORTED THROUGH THOSE ASSESSMENTS WE TALKED ABOUT PRIOR TO THIS. SO IT'S NOT ON THE LOCAL INDICATORS IT COMES FROM THE STATE INDICATORS AND PRIORITY 5 IS ENGAGEMENT AND THAT IS ALSO REPORTED THROUGH OTHER INDICATORS THAT ARE COLLECTED
[01:10:06]
THROUGH THE STATE WHICH INCLUDE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. AND THERE'S ANOTHER OUR GRADUATION RATE IS OUR ENGAGEMENT. ASSESSMENTS OF LOCAL INDICATORS. SO THE ACTUAL PROCESS FOR THIS IS A SELF EVALUATION AND THERE ARE GUIDING QUESTIONS THAT WE USE TO PROCESS THROUGH OUR SELF EVALUATION THEN WE SELF RATE ON INDICATORS FOR COMPLETION OF THE PROCESS. WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THAT IS WHAT IS REPORTED BY MET OR NOT MET IS JUST ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. THERE ISN'T A METRIC OF 80 PERCENT PROFICIENT OR THAT SORT OF THING. IF WE ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE PROCESS NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOMES ARE OF THAT PROCESS WE MEET THE CONDITIONS SO WE WILL BE MEETING ALL THE CONDITIONS THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE EVALUATING PROCESS. THAT CLEAR? PRIORITY ONE BASICS. WE WILL BE REPORTING THAT WE HAVE ZERO EL MISSED ASSIGNMENTS ZERO OTHER TEACHER MISS ASSIGNMENTS AND ZERO VACANCIES TO BE FILLED FOR OUR TEACHERS. WE'LL BE REPORTING TO THE CD WITH ZERO PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO COPIES OF STANDARDS OF LINE MATERIALS. SOUNDS A LITTLE BACKWARDS BUT ALL OF 100 PERCENT OF OUR KIDS DO IT'S NOT THE WAY THEY COLLECT THE INFORMATION AND WE'LL HAVE WE HAVE ZERO INSTANCES OF WILLIAMS FACILITY COMPLAINTS CURRENTLY. FOR PRIORITY 2. WE WILL BE SUBMITTING METRICS ON ALL OF THE CURRENT SUBJECT AREAS AND HOW WE ARE RATED ON THEM CURRENTLY IN MANY OF THESE WE'RE STILL WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH THE NEXT GENERATION'S SCIENCE STANDARDS FOR EXAMPLE IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING AND THAT'S THE WAY WE WILL BE REPORTING IT. WHAT OUR PROGRESS IS ON THAT PRIORITY 3 IS PARENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. WE'LL BE REPORTING OUR STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES THAT ARE ACTUALLY EVIDENCED BY OUR ACTIVE PTAS, HIGH FREQUENCY OF VOLUNTEERS AND SIGNIFICANT PARTICIPATION IN OUR SCHOOL EVENTS FOR NUMBER TWO FOR PRACTICES AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT BONITA USD OFFERS A VARIETY OF EVENTS TO ENGAGE PARENTS INCLUDING OUR PARENT PARTNERSHIP ACADEMY THAT IS COMING UP ON OCTOBER 12TH. IF I CAN PLUG IT ONE MORE TIME AND FAMILY READING NIGHTS AND STEM EVENTS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT PROMISING PRACTICES AND SEEKING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT COVERS THE HIGHLIGHT OF ACTUALLY OUR 18 19 DECISION MAKING PROCESS WHERE WE'VE BROUGHT IN EIGHT MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS FOR THE 1920 SCHOOL YEAR SO THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING IN THAT PROCESS. LOCAL CLIMATE. WE GIVE THE CALIFORNIA WEST ED SURVEY EACH YEAR IT'S PART OF THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY AND THIS DATA WAS COLLECTED FROM THERE FOR LOCAL CLIMATE. YOU COULD READ THE METRICS THERE THAT 78 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS FEEL A PART OF SCHOOL IN FIFTH GRADE 60 PERCENT IN SEVENTH 55 PERCENT IN NINTH AND 49 PERCENT OF 11TH. FROM THIS METRIC ACTUALLY BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE TO BE DOING BETTER WE WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL CONNECTED TO OUR SCHOOLS WE'RE ACTUALLY DIGGING A LITTLE DEEPER. THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY THAT WE GIVE ANNUALLY. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A NEW SURVEY THAT WILL LET US TO BETTER TARGET WHERE SPECIFICALLY THAT CAN BE IMPROVED. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT SO THAT'S ONE OF THE RESULTS FROM THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE COLLECTED OVER TIME AND THEN PERCEIVING THE SCHOOL AS A SAFE PLACE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT GOES FROM 86 PERCENT IN FIFTH GRADE TO 65 PERCENT IN 11TH GRADE AND THAT'S THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. AND THESE ARE THE ONLY GRADE LEVELS THAT ARE ACTUALLY TARGETED IN THE WEST ED SURVEY AND OUR NEW SURVEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE COLLECTING WILL ALSO BE FOCUSED ON SAFETY AND WE'LL BE COLLECTING FROM THIRD GRADE THROUGH 12TH GRADE TO GIVE US A BETTER SPAN OF WHERE DOES THAT EXACTLY FALL OFF. SO I'M KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT SOME ADDITIONAL DATA. ACCESS TO A BROAD COURSE OF STUDY OUR SEVENTH PRIORITY. AND IN THIS IT'S REALLY THE OFFERINGS THAT WE OFFER OUR STUDENTS AND THE ACCESS THEY HAVE TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF A COURSE OF STUDY AND WE'LL BE FOCUSED ON THE AREAS WE'RE IMPROVING. ALSO RESPONDENTS TO THE[01:15:07]
INFORMATION WE'VE COLLECTED THROUGH OUR A THROUGH G AUDITS AND SO FORTH AND WHAT WE CAN. AND WE ARE EXPANDING OPTIONS FOR OUR COURSE OF STUDY THROUGH THAT INCLUDING IN THE CTE AREA. SO OUR NEXT STEPS THAT WE WILL SUBMIT BEFORE THE NOVEMBER 1ST DEADLINE AND THERE IS A NEW ED CODE SECTION THAT IS REQUIREMENTS TO USE THIS DATA IN FORMULATING OUR SPRING LCAP PROCESS WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST BUT WE'LL JUST BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH THE WAY WE DO IT NOW BECAUSE THEY'LL WANT TO HAVE A SHOW AND WE'LL BE USING THIS TO THE NEW RESULTS THAT BEGAN FOR THE NEW SURVEYS TO HELP MAKE OUR PLANS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. YES SIR.CHRIS YOU MENTIONED A DASHBOARD WITH THE RESULTS I'M ASSUMING THAT WILL BE ONLINE. YES IT'S THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD IT'S THE ONE THAT'S NOW GONE TO DIALS WHERE WE WE WHAT USED TO LOOK LIKE TRIVIAL PURSUIT PIECES AND NOW IT ACTUALLY REPORTS THERE BUT [INAUDIBLE] MET, MET, MET, MET IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA. BUT ONCE THOSE SCORES ARE RELEASED ALL OF THE SCORES THE ACADEMIC AND SO FORTH YES THAT THEY WILL ALL BE THERE AS WELL. AND I'M SURE YOU'LL BE GETTING ANOTHER PRESENTATION ABOUT THAT AS WELL BECAUSE WE'RE QUITE EXCITED ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WILL BE SHOWING UP THIS YEAR. WILL THOSE LINKS BE ON OUR WEB SITE ON THE DISTRICT WEB SITE. WE DO HAVE A LINK DIRECTLY FROM THERE. I'M SURE WILL HIGHLIGHT IT AS WELL AT OUR WEB SITE DURING THAT TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD.
