OPPOSED. REPORT FROM THE BOARD.

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

AS WE CONTINUE DISCUSS THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DISTRICT ESTABLISHING THE POSITION OF THE EQUITY OFFICER AND EQUITY COMMITTEE.

THE TASK AT HAND CAN SEEM OVERWHELMING, BUT IMPERATIVE TO THE COMMITMENT OF PREPARING EVERY STUDENT TO LIVE THEIR PURPOSE.

I FEEL HONORED TO BE ON THIS BOARD DURING THE TIME OF AWAKENING AND PROGRESS AND PROGRESS. AND AS A PARENT, I CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE THE COMMITMENT OUR SUPERINTENDENT HAS TO TRANSPARENCY AND NOT FUNCTIONING AT STATUS QUO, BUT REALLY RAISING THE BAR.

I WAS EXCITED TO HEAR THAT SOME OF OUR LOCAL SPORTS TEAMS ARE TRYING OUT NEW SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND GETTING KIDS ON THE BASEBALL FIELDS DURING THE SUMMER, AS WE ARE ALL TRYING TO ADJUST DURING THIS TIME.

I CONTINUED TO SEE GRACE AND KINDNESS FROM OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

I'VE HEARD REALLY GOOD COMMENTS REGARDING SUMMER SCHOOL AND HOW THE KIDS ARE FINDING WAYS TO LEARN, GROW AND CONNECT WITH PEERS AND THEIR TEACHERS.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON OUR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH.

IF YOU NEED RESOURCES, I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE DO HAVE TRI CITY MENTAL HEALTH LOCATED IN POMONA.

THEY OFFER ALL KINDS OF SERVICES, INCLUDING A FREE WEBINAR ON JULY 14TH FROM 11 TO 12 ON MINORITY MENTAL HEALTH.

I'D LIKE TO AGAIN CONGRATULATE ALL OF OUR RETIREES.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU'VE SPENT WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND I'D LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A SAFE, VERY UNIQUE AND HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.

OK. THIS MEETING, I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT.

THANK YOU. FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE STATE SENATE AND STATE HOUSE FOR PASSING A REASONABLE BUDGET. THERE'S LITTLE CONCERN THERE FOR A BIT, BUT I AM VERY GLAD THEY CAME THROUGH. AND THANK YOU, GOVERNOR NEWSOM, FOR SIGNING THAT REASONABLE BUDGET.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR STAFF, EVERYONE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE CABINET, SUPERINTENDENT, PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS, CLASSIFIED STAFF.

EVERYONE'S REALLY BEEN WORKING A LOT DURING THIS SUMMER PREPARING FOR ALL THE POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD HAPPEN.

AND I KNOW NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS IT CAN'T BE.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE DILIGENCE OF OUR STAFF.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK.

AND THAT'S IT. I DON'T HAVE MUCH OF REPORT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND.

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

AND THANK KARL FOR THE LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY THAT HE PUT OUT ADDRESSING THE RECENT RACIAL ISSUES WE'RE FACING NATIONWIDE AS WELL AS HERE IN THE DISTRICT.

AND I APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH GRABBING THAT BULL BY THE HORNS AND LOOK FORWARD TO BETTER AND BETTER RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND OUR COMMUNITIES.

[00:05:02]

I'D LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY FOURTH.

WE'RE GONNA MISS BEING IN THE LAVERNE PARADE THIS YEAR.

ALWAYS A HIGH POINT OF OUR YEAR AND CONGRATULATE OUR RETIREES.

AND KUDOS TO KEVIN FOR THE VIDEO HE PUT OUT FOR DIANE'S MESSAGE.

IT'S NOT THE SAME AS HAVING THEM ALL TOGETHER AND GETTING TO SHAKE THEIR HAND AND HONOR THEM IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS.

BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN KEEP WITH THEM FOREVER NOW VERSUS JUST WALKING ACROSS TOWN, SHAKING OUR HANDS AND WALKING AWAY OR SO AND LOOKS LIKE WE DO HAVE PROPER FUNDING, AT LEAST FOR THE COMING YEAR.

WE CAN WORK ON AN.

I KNOW EVERYONE'S AT SUMMER VACATION, EXCEPT MOST OF OUR STAFF, AT LEAST AT THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL, WHO IS WORKING NONSTOP, TRYING TO CREATE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO HAVE IN PLACE NEXT YEAR, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE HEALTH ORDERS COME OUT.

SO SOMETIME YOU'LL GET SOME KIND OF VACATION.

AND I'M SURE A LOT OF THE PARENTS AND SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE TIRED OF SUMMER VACATION ALREADY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ON IT FOR ALMOST FOUR MONTHS ALREADY.

SO THEY'RE READY TO GO BACK.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO WELCOME THEM BACK TO A NORMAL SCHEDULE.

WELL, KRISTA, YOUR WORD UNIQUE, I THINK, IS A SUM UP ALL OF THE 2019 AND 20 SCHOOL YEAR, BUT TODAY OFFICIALLY BEGINS THE 2020 2021 SCHOOL YEAR FOR US AS BEING JULY ONE.

THE BRAND NEW FISCAL YEAR.

AND THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF CHALLENGES AHEAD OF US.

YOU KNOW, AS A DISTRICT IN THE COMMUNITY.

BUT I DO WANT TO ECHO DEREK, AND I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE SENATE BILL, 77 FOR THE LEGISLATORS AND THE GOVERNOR COMING TOGETHER TO PASS A REASONABLE BILL.

IT DOES HELP US IN OUR PLANNING MOVING FORWARD.

SO TODAY WE WILL SEND OUT A LETTER BECAUSE A SENATE BILL, 77 TO ALL OF OUR STAFF, THAT WE WILL HAVE NO LAYOFFS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER, AS WE ALWAYS HAVE WITH OUR ASSOCIATION LEADERSHIP, AND WE'RE GOING TO FORWARD AS WE DO.

I LIKE TO THINK OR JUST WANT TO WISH EVERYONE HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.

AND PLEASE BE SAFE.

AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT AND HOW YOU CAN CELEBRATE IT.

PLEASE DO IT IN A SAFE MANNER.

[00:10:02]

YOU KNOW, IT IS UNIQUE.

SUSAN'S VACATION JUST GOT EVEN MORE UNIQUE WHERE SHE CAN'T GO ON HER VACATION THAT SHE HAD PLANNED BECAUSE OF A QUARANTINE LAW.

YOU KNOW, IN ANOTHER STATE DUE TO THE RISING COVID NUMBERS HERE.

YOU KNOW, MATT, AS THREE LITTLE ONES AT HOME DOING THE BEST THAT HE CAN TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE AND FIND A BALANCE WHILE ALSO WORKING HERE.

AND KEVIN, THE SAME THING, KEVIN WAS ABLE TO SNEAK AWAY HERE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT IT IS A LOT OF WORK THIS SUMMER, PUT ON THE THREE OF THEM REALLY WORKING WITH THE ASSOCIATIONS.

EVERYTHING HAS TO BE RENEGOTIATED.

THE BUDGET IS JUST BEEN UP AND DOWN ROLLERCOASTER WITH A TON OF LOOPDY LOOPS AND THAT AND HIS TEAM ARE STILL KIND OF WAITING FOR THE HEALTH ORDERS TO REALLY PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM. AND SO AS MUCH AS THEY ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND THIS IS A LABOR OF LOVE, THEY ALSO WANT TO GO TO GET PAID.

SO THIS CONTRACT HERE BASICALLY EXTENDS AN OUT TO THE MAX FOR THE THREE YEARS.

IT'S AN ANNUAL ONE THAT WE TAKE FORWARD.

BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW HARD THAT THE THREE OF THEM ARE WORKING, AND WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM HERE IN THIS DISTRICT.

AND AS MUCH AS WE WORK TOGETHER, I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THE THREE OF THEM EACH AND EVERY DAY, AND THEY COULDN'T BE MORE THANKFUL FOR A TEAM THAT WE HAVE HERE.

SO JUST THEIR CONTRACTS.

AND IF I CAN ADD SOMETHING, IF THAT'S RIGHT.

AND WITH THIS BEING SUCH A UNIQUE YEAR AND SO MUCH ON EVERYONE'S PLATE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO THE BOARD THAT WE SUSPEND THAT MEETING IN AUGUST TO A FUTURE DATE.

MAYBE SOMETIME LATE FALL.

LET THEM GET TO YOUR SCHOOL YEAR STARTED.

KIND OF PUT THEIR LOGISTICS THAT THEY NEED IN PLACE.

AND THEN WHEN WE MEET AGAIN.

AND AS JUST SAY IT WORKS OUT IN THE FALL OR A TIME THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.

GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE AS WELL AS MAYBE WHAT WOULD CONTINUE INTO THE SPRINGTIME. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY ON THEIR PART.

AND I KNOW THEY WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE JUST KIND OF STAYING FOCUSED ON WHAT THEY NEED TO DO FOR AUGUST.
