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

[INAUDIBLE] FIRST, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD REPS, JORDAN PRESTON AND LAUREN AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND HEARING ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EACH OF YOUR SCHOOLS. I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE KELLY KOCALIS AND THE SAN DIMAS DRAMA CLUB FOR A JOB VERY WELL DONE.

THEY PRESENTED A STREAMING PRODUCTION OF WITH THEIR EYES.

IN THIS IN ENGLISH TEACHER AT A HIGH SCHOOL THAT WAS FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM GROUND ZERO ON 9/11, HAD HER STUDENTS DOCUMENT WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH.

THEY INTERVIEWED OTHERS AT THEIR SCHOOL.

THEY LISTENED TO THEIR STORIES AND HEARD ABOUT THEIR PERSPECTIVES OF THE TRAGEDIES AND THE EFFECTS ON THEIR LIVES.

THIS WAS TURNED INTO A PLAY WHERE OTHERS PORTRAY THESE STUDENTS AND THEIR STORIES.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GAVE A VERY POWERFUL PERFORMANCE USING TECHNOLOGY AND FINDING A CREATIVE WAY TO SHARE THEIR ART.

EVEN DURING QUARANTINE.

OUR STUDENTS HADN'T EVEN BEEN BORN WHEN OUR COUNTRY WENT THROUGH THIS, AND I'M SURE THEY LEARNED A LOT FROM THE STUDENTS AT STUYVESANT HIGH ALSO.

AND THAT'S IT. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO START OFF THANKING THE LA VERNE AND SAN DIMAS ROTARIES.

THEY DO OUR COMMUNITY GROUPS DO A LOT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK LA VERNE ROTARY ENDED UP GIVING OUR DAYCARE STAFF DONUTS AND THEY KIND OF JUST LET THEM KNOW THAT OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTS ALL THE HARD WORK THEY'RE DOING.

AND THE SAN DIMAS ROTARY, THEY ENDED UP GETTING A GRANT SO THAT OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS CAN GET I GUESS THEY GET TO GO THROUGH MASTER CLASS.

AND THAT SEEMED LIKE AN AMAZING GIFT.

SO JUST THANK YOU TO ALL THE COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT ARE SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE SUPPORTING OUR STAFF.

AND JUST THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

THERE'S SEVERAL EVENTS COMING UP THAT I THINK ARE VERY EXCITING.

ON OCTOBER 20TH, AT SIX P.M.

AT THE BCA, THERE'S THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CANDIDATES FORUM.

THAT SHOULD BE PRETTY EXCITING IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH THEM.

THIS IS A GREAT ELECTION.

THERE'S GREAT CANDIDATES RUNNING.

I'VE MET MOST OF THEM.

THEY ALL SEEM LIKE VERY WONDERFUL PEOPLE, TOO, I KNOW WHO ARE ON THE DAIS.

AND WHAT'S GREAT IS EVERYONE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT VISION.

SO THEY SEEM TO ALL HAVE THE RIGHT MOTIVES, BUT WITH A DIFFERENT VISION.

SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU, THERE'S ONLY THREE SPOTS.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE CANDIDATE AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT ELECTION AND IT'S ALWAYS HARD WHEN YOU HAVE TO RUN ELECTION.

AND YEAH, IT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE ELECTION SO FAR.

BOTH THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS AND LA VERNE HAVE A HALLOWEEN EVENT.

SAN DIMAS HAS ON OCTOBER 23RD AND 24TH, THEIR HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR AT HORSETHIEF CANYON AND LA VERNE ALSO HAS THEIR EVENT.

AND I THINK THAT'S BY CITY HALL FROM ON OCTOBER 31ST, FROM FIVE TO EIGHT P.M.

. ON NOVEMBER 8TH THROUGH THE 28TH, THE [INAUDIBLE] FOUNDATION IS HAVING THEIR FIVE K

[00:05:03]

AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE INVOLVED.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.

MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO DO THIS WITH ME AS WELL.

SO WE'RE KIND OF MAPPING OUT, WHAT, FIVE K DISTANCE WE CAN RUN.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT BONELLI PARK, BUT IT'S A VIRTUAL FIVE K.

IT'S NOT THAT ALL OF US ARE LINING UP AT THE SAME TIME, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY, OUR SCHOOLS, PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING THIS FIVE K AND IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS, IT'D BE GREAT IF YOU WANT TO SPONSOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY AS WELL.

THE SAN DIMAS ROTARY AND THE SAN DIMAS MASONIC LODGE HAVE A WINTER CLOTHES DRIVE AND I THINK THEY'RE SENDING IT UP TO I THINK IT'S NORTH OR SOUTH DAKOTA.

I FORGOT WHICH ONE, BUT IT'S ON NOVEMBER 8TH AT 12:00 P.M.

SO IF YOU HAVE WARM WEATHER CLOTHING OR YOU WANT TO PROVIDE SOME WARM WEATHER CLOTHING FOR DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES, PLEASE CONSIDER DROPPING IT OFF ON NOVEMBER 8TH AT THE SAN DIMAS MASONIC LODGE. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

SO THANK YOU, EVERYONE.

IT'S THE ELECTION SEASON AND IT'S INTERESTING TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN SEEING ALL THE YARD SIGNS. BUT THE ONES THAT I'M MOST EXCITED ABOUT ARE THE ONES WHERE PEOPLE ARE BRAGGING ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS HAVING TAKEN AP CLASSES AND TESTING THEM.

SO THAT'S REAL FUN TO SEE.

IT'S THERE ARE SO FEW SIGNS OF SCHOOL ACTUALLY GOING ON.

IT'S NICE TO SEE SOMETHING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THERE'S EVIDENCE OF STUDENTS GOING TO SCHOOL.

PROBABLY GOES WITHOUT SAYING.

BUT I WILL MENTION THE EVENT THAT THE BCA IS A CLOSED EVENT THAT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, OF COURSE, BECAUSE OF COVID.

BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE TELEVISED ON THE LOCAL CHANNELS FOR IN LA VERNE AND IN SAN DIMAS. AND THANKS OUT TO THE SAN DIMAS CHAMBER AND THE LA VERNE CHAMBER FOR SPONSORING AND PUTTING THAT ON, AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT THIS EVENING.

WELL, IN ADDITION TO THE AP TESTING SIGNS, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF SIGNS OUT FOR THE SCHOOL PRIDE THAT A. BOB KAT LIVES HERE, OR SHOLE SHARK LIVES HERE, EACH SCHOOL SEEMS TO HAVE THEM OUT IN THEIR KID'S YARD AND THEN THE TEACHERS THAT LIVE IN THE DISTRICT ARE GETTING SIGNS PUT IN THEIR YARD BY SOME OF THE SCHOOLS CONGRATULATING THEM THAT HE IS A TEACHER LIVES HERE. SO I THINK IT'S NICE THAT THE PTA'S ARE GETTING OUT AND INVOLVED AND GETTING THE SIGNS OUT TO EVERYONE.

AND ONE THING I'VE NOTICED WHEN I'VE BEEN OUT CAMPAIGNING THIS LAST FEW MONTHS AND WE'LL HAVE A REPORT ON IT LATER TONIGHT, IS HOW WELL DISTANCE LEARNING HAS BEEN GOING.

I EXPECTED A LOT OF NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN POSITIVE AND THE FEW NEGATIVE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MORE ABOUT INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS OR THEIR SERVICE PROVIDER, BE IT SPECTRUM, FRONTIER OR WHOEVER THEY HAVE, HAVING AN OUTAGE IN THEIR AREA AND LOSING CONNECTIVITY, WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

SO I THINK IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO OUR STAFF AND TEACHERS THAT WE HEAR OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE RESPONSES ON HOW WELL THE DISTANCE LEARNING IS GOING.

GOOD AFTERNOON. AS I COME TO THE END OF MY APPOINTED BOARD MEMBER POSITION, I'M REALIZING THAT I MAY ONLY HAVE A COUPLE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SIT UP HERE AND HAVE A VOICE.

HOPEFULLY THE COMMUNITY VALUES MY ROLE HERE, BUT AS MY PAST HAS TAUGHT ME, NOTHING IS CERTAIN. IT FEELS LIKE WE'VE ACCEPTED THE SITUATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING.

NOW I KNOW WE ALL FEEL POWERLESS.

I DO ALSO.

BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE WE BELIEVED OUR CHILDREN WOULD BE RECEIVING. NOW, I HAVE TO SAY, THIS IS NO WAY AN ATTACK OF OUR TEACHERS.

IN FACT, MY SONS HAVE AMAZING TEACHERS AND I WATCH THEM CHANGE THEIR VOICES AND BE ANIMATED AND DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WITH A SEVEN AND EIGHT YEAR OLD, IT'S STILL CHALLENGING AND SITTING OUR CHILDREN IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER FOR HOURS, EXPECTING THEM TO CONNECT AND LEARN AND THRIVE IS CHALLENGING.

AND I HEAR YOUR STRUGGLES BECAUSE I HEAR FROM A LOT OF PARENTS AND I FEEL THEM ALSO.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND YOUR KIDS ARE NOT ALONE IN THEIR CHALLENGES.

TO THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE REMOVED THEIR KIDS FROM THIS DISTRICT.

I ADMIRE YOUR STRENGTH, BRAVERY IN ACTION.

I PRAY THAT ONE DAY WE EARN YOUR CONFIDENCE TO HAVE YOUR KIDS BACK AT THESE SCHOOLS.

WE ARE ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS TO THE DAY OF OUR SCHOOLS CLOSING AND OUR KIDS AND PARENTS ARE SUFFERING. AS A DISTRICT WE ARE DOING OUR BEST WORKING HARD TO GET SPECIAL ED AND EL STUDENTS IN PERSON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

[00:10:03]

COUNTY GUIDELINES IS THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE AT THIS POINT.

OUR CITIES ARE DIFFERENT AND SMALLER AND MORE MANAGEABLE.

I KNOW THAT SOME POLITICIANS ARE REQUESTING THAT GOVERNOR NEWSOM EMBRACE A COMMUNITY BASED OPENING STRATEGY THAT WOULD GIVE COMMUNITIES LIKE LA VERNE AND SAN DIMAS THE SAME FREEDOMS AS OTHER COUNTIES.

THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY OUR STATE CANNOT ALLOW LOW RISK AREAS WITHIN COUNTIES TO REOPEN THEIR ECONOMIES AND RESTORE THE LIVELIHOODS OF THE RESIDENTS.

SO PLEASE PARENTS, CONTACT GOVERNOR NEWSOM EMAIL AND REQUEST THAT THIS STRATEGY FOR OPENING UP OUR COMMUNITY IS USED AND FAST SO WE CAN GET THESE SCHOOLS OPEN.

IF YOU NEED ANY INFORMATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME, EMAIL ME OR CALL ME.

THANK YOU. FIRST, GLENN JUST HAD A BIRTHDAY LIKE TO WISH YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AND I KNOW ONE OF THE GREATEST PRESENTS YOU CAN HAVE WOULD BE A DODGER WORLD SERIES AND SO.

THAT WILL BE IT. THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY FOR TODAY'S GAME.

SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALSO AWARE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HONORED TO HAVE NINE WONDERFUL CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD. THE ELECTION IS JUST 20 DAYS AWAY.

AND I WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK ALL NINE CANDIDATES FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE AND CONTINUING TO MAKE OUR DISTRICT A GREAT PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO GO TO SCHOOL AND A GREAT PLACE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO COME TO WORK.

YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO RUN FOR A SPOT ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY TAKES DEDICATION, BUT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF COURAGE AND PERSONAL MONEY AND SACRIFICE TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE. AND SO FOR THAT, ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, I WISH ALL OUR CANDIDATES MUCH SUCCESS, YOU KNOW, AND A GREAT DEAL OF GRATITUDE FOR YOUR COMMITMENT IN SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OF SAN DIMAS AND LA VERNE IN PROVIDING OUR STUDENTS WITH A WORLD CLASS EDUCATION. SO THANK YOU.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL OUR TEACHERS FOR THE FANTASTIC JOB THAT THEY'RE DOING TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS. YOU KNOW, I CONTINUE TO BE AMAZED AT THE CREATIVE WAYS THEY'RE REACHING STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, FOR THE WAYS THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO JUST CONTINUE TO CONNECT, EVEN IF IT'S VIRTUAL. IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, THEY'VE HAD TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE HOW THEY DO BUSINESS IN JUST A FEW MONTHS, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S NOTHING SHORT OF JUST AMAZING FOR WHAT THEY DO. AND TO ALL OF OUR TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, YOUR COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY TEACHING AND LEARNING, IT'S NOT GOING TO GO UNNOTICED.

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW VALUED YOU ARE AND HOW MUCH YOUR WORK IS MEANT TO ALL OF US.

SO THANK YOU. ONE LAST THING IS LIKE TO OFFICIALLY WELCOME MARGARET MACDONALD TODAY AS HER OFFICIAL DAY IS [APPLAUSE] HELPING US AND SERVING IN THE ROLE OF THAT YOU DO.

AND SO, MARGARET, WELCOME AND THANK YOU.

OK, NEXT, WE HAVE ADOPTED MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2020 REGULAR BOARD OF EDUCATION

GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT CREIMAN, SCHOOL BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT, COLES, CABINET AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MY NAME IS JORDAN GLUSKIN AND I'M ASB PRESIDENT AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE

[00:15:02]

IT WAS MY HONOR TO WORK WITH YOU THIS YEAR.

I LIKE TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT BONITA HIGH IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE EQUITY COMMITTEE THAT HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER BY THE DISTRICT.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE THIS YEAR IS [INAUDIBLE].

THE EQUITY COMMITTEE AS A PARALLEL TO THE BONITA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH IS A STUDENT LED COMMITTEE THAT FOCUSES ON STUDENT CONCERNS AND IS MADE UP OF STUDENTS FROM MANY DIFFERENT AREAS SUCH AS ATHLETICS, CLUBS AND THE ARTS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE WORK BOTH THESE GROUPS CAN ACHIEVE THIS YEAR.

IN ADDITION, NO YEAR WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME CROSSTOWN COMPETITION.

[INAUDIBLE] CAME TO US IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND ASKED US ABOUT DOING A WEEK OF SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGES TO KEEP OUR INFAMOUS RIVALRY ALIVE.

ASU WAS EAGER TO HELP AND PUT IN A LOT OF EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT.

OUR MARKETING AND RALLY COMMITTEE HAD A COUPLE OF MEETINGS WITH HANNAH AND SOME OF THEIR ASB MEMBERS. THE ASB PRESIDENT FROM [INAUDIBLE] LAUREN AND I WENT ON INSTAGRAM TO INFORM OUR SCHOOLS OF THIS EXCITING EVENT WE WERE PUTTING ON.

THROUGHOUT THE WEEK WE HAD SEVERAL COMPETITIONS, SUCH AS WHO CAN GET THE MOST FOLLOWERS IN 24 HOURS, A FUNDRAISER AT CHICK-FIL-A THAT BROUGHT IN MONEY FOR BOTH SCHOOLS, SCAVENGER HUNT AROUND LA VERNE AND SAN DIMAS.

AND FINALLY, IT'S A TIC TOK DANCE COMPETITION BETWEEN BOTH ASBS.

BONITA DID TAKE HOME THIS [INAUDIBLE] SOCIAL TROPHY. AND WE HOPE THAT THIS NEW TRADITION WITH CARRY ON FOR YEARS TO COME.

FINALLY, WITH DISTANCE LEARNING COMES MANY NEW CHALLENGES.

BUT WE'RE DOING OUR BEST TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES.

I'VE EVEN STARTED DOING VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS.

THE STAFF AND TEACHERS AT BONITA HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL THROUGH THIS BIG TRANSITION, ALTHOUGH THIS ISN'T HOW MY PEERS AND I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO BE SPENDING OUR SENIOR YEAR. WE'RE CONTINUING TO STAY INVOLVED THROUGH ASB SOCIAL MEDIA ACTION COMPETITIONS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO SCHOOL WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.

AND BEYOND EXCITED THAT SINCE OCTOBER 12TH, WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONING WITH OUR TEAMS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR EVENING.

NEXT UP IS PRESTON STEFFEN FROM THE ED JONES EDUCATIONAL CENTER.

PRESTON IS A SENIOR AT CHAPARRAL AND HAS BEEN IN THE RENAISSANCE CLASS FOR TWO YEARS.

HE LIVES IN LA VERNE WITH HIS MOM.

HE ENJOYS WATCHING BASEBALL.

HIS FAVORITE TEAM IS THE DODGERS.

GOOD CHOICE. GOOD CHOICE.

PRESTON'S FAVORITE CLASS IS RENAISSANCE.

WHAT HE ENJOYS MOST ABOUT BEING A BULLDOG IS THE SCHOOL WIDE FEELING OF COMMUNITY.

HE REMEMBERS THE EXACT DAY HE ARRIVED AT CHAPARRAL AND HAS FELT AT HOME EVER SINCE.

PRESTON PLANS TO ATTEND MOUNT SACK FOLLOWING HIS GRADUATION.

WELCOME, PRESTON. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT COLES, PRESIDENT CREIMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, CABINET MEMBERS AND AUDIENCE.

STUDENTS WILL PREPARE A GOOGLE SLIDE DECK OF IMAGES THEY FEEL DEPICT CONCEPTS OF PEACE AND CHAOS, ALONG WITH THE NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION.

STUDENTS WILL THEN MERGE THESE TWO IMAGES TO CREATE A PIECE OF ART USING ANY MEDIUM OF THEIR CHOICE. HOPEFULLY ONE OF OUR STUDENTS WILL WIN THE CASH PRIZE.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, ON OCTOBER 7TH, WE HAVE OUR FIRST RENAISSANCE RALLY, WHICH INCLUDED AN [INAUDIBLE] SESSION, STUDENTS WERE SHOWN A PICTURE OF THE INSIDE OF A TEACHER'S DESK DRAWER, BASED ON WHAT THEY SAW.

THEY HAD TO GUESS WHO'S THE DESK WAS.

NOW, EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE OPENING UP THIS SCHOOL YEAR HAVE LOOKED VERY DIFFERENT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASSROOM AND VIRTUAL EVENTS BEING PLANNED UNTIL WE CAN RETURN TO CAMPUS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD, MR.

THANK YOU. AND GO, BULLDOGS.

WELCOME LAUREN. GOOD EVENING.

PRESIDENT CREIMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT COLES, MEMBERS OF THE CABINET AND AUDIENCE. MY NAME IS LAUREN O'LEARY, AND I'M THE ASB PRESIDENT AT SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE SAINTS.

I WILL BE TELLING YOU WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE SAINTS IN THREE A'S, ATHLETICS, ACADEMICS AND ACTIVITIES. SO FIRST, WITH ATHLETICS.

OUR FALL SPORTS JUST STARTED PRACTICE ON OCTOBER 5TH.

AND NOW FOR ACADEMICS, OUR TEACHERS HAVE COME UP WITH VERY CREATIVE WAYS TO TEACH THEIR STUDENTS ONLINE, SUCH AS USING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS LIKE [INAUDIBLE] AND MORE.

MR. [INAUDIBLE] HOSTED HIS ANNUAL [INAUDIBLE] AUCTION IN WHICH HE TAUGHT SIX WEEKS OF MACROECONOMICS IN A THIRTY MINUTE ACTIVITY.

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WITH THE ACADEMICS.

OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE HIGHEST PASS RATE EVER WITH OUR AP EXAMS WITH SIXTY EIGHT PERCENT OF STUDENTS PASSING. AND NOW WITH OUR LAST A, ACTIVITIES.

RECENTLY OUR ASB HOSTED OUR ANNUAL CLUB RUSH STUDENTS CAN JOIN CLUBS VIRTUALLY.

THEY HAVE. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AT THE CLUB PRESIDENTS, GET SOME INFORMATION WHAT THE CLUB IS ALL ABOUT AND JOIN.

SECOND OUR DRAMA DEPARTMENT HAD A LIVESTREAM PRODUCTION OF THE PLAY WITH THEIR EYES AND IT WAS ABOUT A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AT GROUND ZERO.

THIS WAS FILMED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH.

WE ALSO JUST HAD A CHILDREN'S BOOK DRIVE AND THE SOPHOMORE CLASS WON.

WE DONATED ALL THE BOOKS TO THE [INAUDIBLE] FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY ORGANIZATION.

WE'RE ALSO KEEPING OUR STUDENTS BUSY HOSTING WEEKLY EVENTS SUCH AS NEIGHBORHOOD SAINT, WHERE WE HID SAINTS GEAR AND A GIFT CARD SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY OF SAN DIMAS, AND THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT AND FIND IT.

THIS MONTH WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES, SUCH AS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST, BAKING CONTEST AND PUMPKIN SMASHING CONTEST.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE'LL BE HAVING OUR COLLEGE WEEK IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

AND WE HAVE THREE COLLEGES READY TO ADMIT OUR SENIORS ON THE SPOT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. OK, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR FEATURE

[14.1. Educational Services Update on the Beginning of the 2020-2021 School Year - Presented by Matthew Wien]

SO LAST MONTH, WE HAD A REQUEST TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

I THINK WE CAN ALL STATE UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT THIS BEGINNING WAS UNLIKE ANY ONE THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED BEFORE. BUT IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT ON THE TITLE SLIDE HERE THAT WE'VE GOT OUR PURPOSE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE IS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, THE PURPOSE REMAINS THAT WE ARE PREPARING ALL STUDENTS TO LIVE THEIR PURPOSE.

AND SO YOU CAN THINK OF THINK OF IT AS THE RULES OF THE GAME CHANGED SLIGHTLY.

BUT THE VICTORY AND DEFINITION OF VICTORY DID NOT.

TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA LOOKING FOUR DIFFERENT AREAS.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT DISTANCE LEARNING, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY, ATTENDANCE AND MENTAL HEALTH. SO AS MENTIONED LAST MONTH, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN, THE BASIC PROGRAM, WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO REPLICATE THAT THROUGH DISTANCE LEARNING, WHICH IS WE'VE IDENTIFIED ESSENTIAL STANDARDS.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WHAT MASTERY OF THOSE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS LOOKS LIKE.

OUR TEACHERS GIVE EXCELLENT FIRST DIRECT INSTRUCTION.

WE ASSESS AND THEN WE PROVIDE REMEDIATION OPPORTUNITIES.

AND SO THE PROGRAM IS THE SAME.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY IS DIFFERENT.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE ON A PICTURE ON THE RIGHT, THAT IS A HOME OFFICE OF A TEACHER, MULTIPLE SCREENS, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE SET UP.

THEY'RE EITHER TEACHING OR WORKING FOR NASA.

IT LOOKS LIKE A CONTROL CENTER UP THERE.

[00:25:02]

HERE WE'VE GOT TEACHERS IN ENGAGED WITH THEIR STUDENTS.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND PICTURE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM A TEACHER'S VANTAGE POINT.

WHEN YOU SEE ZOOM, JUST A ROW OF FACES, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT MRS. [INAUDIBLE], WHO'S TEACHING. SHE'S GOT MULTIPLE SCREENS AND THE BIGGER SCREEN IS THE ONE THAT'S RESERVED FOR THE ZOOM.

AND WHAT IT DOES IS ALLOWS YOU TO REALLY SEE YOUR STUDENTS, YOU SEE MORE OF YOUR STUDENTS, AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE THEM SEE THEM BETTER.

AND SO YOU COULD SEE OVER TIME, YOU KNOW, AS TEACHERS LEARN SOME OF THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE, THEY GET BETTER AT THIS.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THEM THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE PICKED UP ON, AS IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE SCREENS, IT'S EASIER TO ENGAGE AND SEE YOUR STUDENTS.

WE HAVE PE TEACHERS HERE ENGAGED IN THEIR INSTRUCTION.

ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU COULD SEE MODELING THE ACTIVITY JUST AS IF THEY WERE IN A CLASSROOM ,IN THIS CASE, USING MATERIALS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE AT HOME, A BROOM, A CUP, PLASTIC BALL TO TEACH THEM HOW TO HIT THAT, LIKE YOUR PLAYING FIELD HOCKEY.

WHEN WE THINK OF DISTANCE LEARNING, WHERE OUR MINDS GO TYPICALLY IS TO THE INTERNET, COMPUTERS, ETC., THAT, OF COURSE, IS A HUGE PIECE OF IT.

WE PUT THE SLIDE IN HERE TO INDICATE ON THAT LEFT SIDE IS STILL WE STILL USE TEXTBOOKS.

WE STILL DO PAPER PENCIL ACTIVITIES.

WE STILL HAVE HANDS ON ACTIVITIES.

AND SO IT'S WE THINK ABOUT DISTANCE LEARNING.

WE'VE GOT TO BROADEN THE CONCEPTION OF IT AND KNOW THAT THE TEACHERS ARE USING ALL THE TOOLS THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR TOOLBOX TO REACH KIDS.

TEXTBOOKS BEING A MAJOR ONE.

HERE YOU SEE A STUDENT ON THE LEFT GETTING READY TO DO A HANDS ON ACTIVITY.

IT'S ABOUT BLEEDING AND BLENDING COLORS TOGETHER.

AND SO YOU SEE THE PAPER PENCIL IN FRONT OF THEM.

YOU SEE THE PHYSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR THE LAB TO THE LEFT.

AND SO, AGAIN, THE TEACHERS, AS THEY GET USED TO IT, DOING LABS, DOING THINGS TO GET KIDS ENGAGED AND THEN AN INSTRUCTION TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES.

AND HERE YOU SEE STUDENTS JUST ENGAGE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AGAIN, ILLUSTRATING THAT THIS STUDENT IS GETTING READY TO DO THEIR MATH LESSON AND SHE'S GOING TO DO IT WITH A TEXTBOOK. AND SO, AGAIN, INSTRUCTION IN MANY WAYS IS THE SAME.

BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE IT'S JUST VIRTUAL, BUT SOME OF THE OLD METHODOLOGIES ARE STILL USED.

WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN OUR TECHNOLOGY, AND THAT INCLUDES BOTH OUR CIS DEPARTMENT AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THEIR WORK CHANGED AS A RESULT OF THIS.

BUT JUST BEFORE EVEN BEGINNING THIS SECTION, IT JUST HATS OFF TO THEM BECAUSE WITHOUT THEIR WORK, THIS DISTANCE LEARNING WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE GROUND.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST MONTH FOR THE LCP.

WE DID BUY TWO PROGRAMS, MAJOR PROGRAMS THAT ASSISTED WITH DISTANCE LEARNING.

ONE IS CANVAS, THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE ONE STOP SHOP THAT STUDENTS CAN GO TO GET MATERIALS, ASSIGNMENTS, ETC..

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH ZOOM.

THAT IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF DISTANCE LEARNING.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT.

THIS IS A ZOOM WITH BONITA HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU SEE FOUR STUDENTS AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT THERE IS A BREAKOUT ROOM.

AND SO IT'S A BIG CLASS, PROBABLY 30, 35 KIDS IN A CLASS.

BUT THEN A TEACHER HAS THE ABILITY TO PUT STUDENTS IN BREAKOUT ROOMS, SMALL GROUPS, TO ENGAGE IN SMALL GROUP AND DISCUSSION.

AND IT'S JUST ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF TEACHERS ATTEMPTING TO DO WHAT THEY WOULD REGULARLY DO IN A CLASSROOM, BUT IN THIS VIRTUAL FORMAT.

WASN'T JUST ABOUT THE THE STUDENTS WE DID CIS DID A LOT OF WORK IN HELPING EMPLOYEES BE ABLE TO WORK REMOTELY, AND THESE ARE TWO WAYS THAT THEY DID THAT.

ONE IS WITH VPN INCREASING USAGE, VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK, WHICH SIMPLY ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS WORKING FROM HOME TO HAVE ACCESS TO CONFIDENTIAL DATABASES THAT NORMALLY YOU WOULD ONLY HAVE ACCESS ON SITE.

AND SO THEY THEY WENT FROM JUST A FEW USERS OF VPN TO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SOCIAL DISTANCE AND WORK REMOTELY.

THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT WAS WITH CELL PHONES.

A CELL PHONE SIMPLY IS A USING YOUR LAPTOP TO FUNCTION AS YOUR DESK PHONE.

AND SO IT'S LIKE YOU ARE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR REGULAR DESK PHONE BUT IS AT HOME.

[00:30:02]

AND SO IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT FOR INDIVIDUALS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT AND BE ABLE TO WORK FROM HOME WHEN NEEDED.

SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING WITH NOT ONLY THE FINANCIAL IMPACT, BUT JUST NUMBER OF DEVICES, AND SO WE DID PURCHASE A NUMBER OF ITEMS 3500 CHROMEBOOK, 200 LAPTOPS, 300 HOTSPOTS, 550 WEBCAMS. AND SO THAT'S NOT ONLY CURATING THESE.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET THEM FUNCTIONAL.

YOU'VE GOT TO DEPLOY THEM OUT.

AND EVERY STUDENT GOT A CHROMEBOOK.

AND SO THAT'S NEARLY 10000 THAT WERE DISTRIBUTED OUT.

AND IT WASN'T ONLY CIS EDTECH PITCHED IN.

MEMBERS OF CLASSIFIED UNION PITCHED IN THAT WERE NOT RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEY PITCHED IN TO HELP. AND SO IT'S A IT'S AN UNDERTAKING TO HAND OUT 10000 OF ANYTHING UNDER GOOD CIRCUMSTANCES TO DO IT.

SOCIAL DISTANCING OFTENTIMES THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH WAS A HUGE FEE.

AND THEY DID IT EFFICIENTLY AND WITH A LOT OF TEAMWORK.

HERE'S WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE FUN AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE IMPACT OF THIS CHANGE THE PACE OF THE WORK OF CIS.

AND SO ON A NORMAL DAY, OUR CIS DEPARTMENT GETS ABOUT 80 CALLS PER DAY.

ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THEY GOT FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX, FIVE PLUS TIMES THE NUMBER OF CALLS THAT FIRST DAY ON A NORMAL DAY, WE GET SEVEN 800 PHONE CALLS INTO THE DISTRICT. AND THAT'S NOT THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

THAT'S ALL SITES AND DISTRICT OFFICE.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN TO WEDNESDAY, WE GOT ALMOST 800 CALLS WEDNESDAY.

THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

AND IT'S STAGGERING IS ON THAT FIRST HOUR OF INSTRUCTION.

ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THERE WERE ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY CALLS THAT CAME INTO THE DISTRICT FOR THAT FIRST HOUR.

THAT IS MORE THAN WE NORMALLY GET FOR A FULL DAY.

AND SO YOU CAN START TO THEN PICTURE IN YOUR MIND THE PACE AND THE ALMOST FRENETIC QUALITY THAT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AT THE SITES ON THAT THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS.

IT LEVELED OUT AS AS, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD.

BUT THAT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY OF THAT FIRST WEEK IN PARTICULAR WAS WAS A VERY HECTIC TIME FOR THE SITES IN CIS UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS WORK ORDERS.

THOSE LEFT [INAUDIBLE] STARTED AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF TWENTY NINETEEN, ABOUT A THOUSAND WORK ORDERS. AND THOSE WERE COMPLETED AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF 2020 IT DOUBLED, YOU KNOW, IT DOUBLED OVER 2000 WORK ORDERS.

THIS IS NOT WITH ADDITIONAL STAFFING.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ADDITIONAL STAFFING IN CIS IT WAS THE SAME NUMBER OF BODIES AS THE 2019 AND SO THEIR PACE, THEIR EFFICIENCY HAD TO INCREASE IN ORDER TO GET THAT DONE.

WHAT'S NOT LISTED HERE.

AND SO YOU SEE TWO THOUSAND WORK ORDERS, BUT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT WERE HANDLED ON THE SPOT NEVER MADE IT INTO THE SYSTEM BECAUSE SOMETIMES SOMEONE WOULD CALL, THEY COULD HANDLE IT AND YOU MOVE ON, NEVER TRACKED IT. AND SO WE HAVE TWO THOUSAND OFFICIAL WORK ORDERS.

THERE WERE MANY MORE THAN THAT.

AND AND THAT'S WHEN WE YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BEGIN TO THANK THEM.

NUMBER ONE, THE CIS DEPARTMENT AND EDTECH AND JUST GETTING GETTING OUR TEACHERS UP AND RUNNING AND GETTING OUR STUDENTS UP AND RUNNING WAS IT WAS QUITE A TIME.

AND I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE GLAD THAT IT'S LEVELED OUT A BIT NOW THAT WE'RE IN WEEK SEVEN. QUESTION CAME UP LAST MONTH ABOUT ATTENDANCE, AND SO I WANT TO PUT A COUPLE OF FIGURES IN HERE ON ATTENDANCE, ATTENDANCE IS UP SLIGHTLY A POINT FROM FROM 1920, AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE NO FULL DAY ABSENCES IS SIGNIFICANTLY UP.

AND THAT'S SHOCKING BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO GO TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE NOT A LOT OF GETTING READY THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE AND ADD ON ON CERTAIN DAYS WHEN MAYBE YOU DIDN'T NECESSARILY FEEL GREAT AND MAYBE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE COME INTO SCHOOL.

THOSE KIDS ARE GOING ONTO THEIR ZOOM CLASSES.

AND SO ATTENDANCE IS UP FOR BONITA UNIFIED.

BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST SIMPLY LEAVE IT AT THAT BECAUSE A GROWTH AREA FOR US IS ALTHOUGH ATTENDANCE IS UP, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY TRANSLATE TO FULL ENGAGEMENT.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, CRYSTAL, YOU MENTIONED ENGAGEMENT, THE ABILITY TO FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED.

[00:35:01]

AND SO AS WE CONTINUE DOWN THE DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO CONTINUE TO GET THESE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THE WORK.

SO THEY'RE IN CLASS. AND WHEN WE HAVE THEM, THEY'RE WITH US.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY DO HAVE MORE TIME AND THE TEACHERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY WITH THEM LATE INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND SO WE'VE GOT TO WE'VE GOT TO INCREASE WORK COMPLETED AT ALL LEVELS AND IN PARTICULAR AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL.

I WILL SAY THAT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] FOR BONITA UNIFIED.

YOU KNOW, I'M HEARING IT ACROSS THE BOARD THAT THAT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO TROUBLESHOOT IT.

CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION ON THE WORK? I'M FIGURING YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT ARE SOME OF THE STUDENTS PHYSICALLY TURNING IT IN OR IS IT ALL DONE THROUGH THE CANVAS ONLINE? YEAH, IT'S A BOTH. SO BOTH ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE STILL DOING A LOT OF PAPER PENCIL ACTIVITIES, AND THEY HAVE EVERY COUPLE WEEKS IN MOST CASES THEY HAVE PACKET PICK-UPS PACKET DROPOFFS. AND THEN THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK THAT'S BEING COMPLETED ONLINE AS WELL. SO IT'S BOTH FORMATS, BOTH FORMATS, YOU KNOW.

MENTAL HEALTH, SO WE'VE CONTINUED THE ROBUST PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, CASELOADS ARE SIMILAR.

AND SO WE'VE GOT THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALIST WORKING WITH STUDENTS AT ABOUT THE SAME CLIP AS THEY WERE IN THE PAST, LIKE WE MENTIONED LAST MONTH, ARE PROVIDING TELE-THERAPY SESSIONS.

OUR ELEMENTARY MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS ARE GOING INTO CLASSROOMS DOING SOME SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LESSONS, WHOLE GROUP, WHICH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU HIRE INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS, INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING IS A GREAT GROUP.

COUNSELING HELPS, TOO, BECAUSE IT WIDENS THE IMPACT IN THE WHOLE GROUP LESSONS REALLY WIDEN THE IMPACT OF THOSE COUNSELORS.

AND SO IT'S GREAT THEY GET IN THE CLASSROOMS AND HIT AS MANY KIDS AS THEY CAN.

GUIDANCE COUNSELORS, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT ISSUE, THE ENGAGEMENT.

OUR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ARE WORKING WITH STUDENTS, TRYING TO GET THEM ENGAGED IN HAVING MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR ACADEMIC PROGRESS TO GET GRADES UP ELEVATED AS HIGH AS WE CAN. OUR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS HAVE CREATED WEBSITES TO THIS IS A WELLNESS RESOURCE WEBSITE THAT THEY'VE CREATED THAT'S LINKED TO OUR DISTRICT WEB PAGE.

IT'S A GREAT RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO USE.

ONE OF THE FUN THINGS THEY DID WITH THIS IS THEY CREATED A VIRTUAL CALM ROOM, WHICH YOU CAN GO ON. THEY HAVE VIDEOS, RELAXATION VIDEOS, YOU CAN GET SOME GUIDED MEDITATION, ET CETERA. SO IT'S IT'S A VIRTUAL CALM ROOM.

AND TO GO RELAX IF YOU NEED IT.

WE CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES AS WELL.

TRI-CITY WE THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE CONSTANT AGENDA TONIGHT.

WE'VE HAD A LONG PARTNERSHIP WITH TRI CITY.

THEY PROVIDE INTERNS THAT WILL CONTINUE.

WE HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH MCKINLEY WHO PROVIDE COUNSELORS TO US THAT HAVE STARTED AS WELL. SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S ON THE CONSENT.

TONIGHT IS CARE SOLACE.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.

AND OF COURSE, I WANT TO THANK THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.

THEY HAVE CHAMPIONED WELLNESS AS THEIR PLATFORM FOR THE DISTRICT, AND THEY CONTINUE TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE SERVICES TO HELP IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO ATTEMPTING TO RAISE MONEY SO WE CAN AUGMENT OUR SERVICES AS WELL.

SO THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT WILL ENHANCE THE PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE NOW, ONE OF WHICH IS AFTERSCHOOL INSTRUCTION, WHICH WE ARE TARGETING TO BEGIN THAT FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER.

IT'S GOING TO BE TARGETED RIGHT NOW FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WHO WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN AND GET SOME EXTRA INSTRUCTION IN PERSON WITH TEACHERS ON OUR CAMPUSES.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO OFFER THAT AND WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF SETTING THAT UP.

WE ALSO HAVE PAPER EDUCATION TUTORING, WHICH IS AN ITEM THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND CONSENT AND WILL PASS TONIGHT, WHICH IS A CONTRACT WITH THIS TUTORING COMPANY, PROVIDES 24/7 TUTORING TO ANY STUDENT IN GRADES THREE THROUGH 12.

AND SO IF A STUDENT HAS A QUESTION THEY WANT ANSWERED, THEY CAN GO, THEY CAN TAKE THE QUESTION IN AND THEN GET LIVE INTERACTION TUTORING ON THE SPOT WITH QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. THAT'S A HUGE PROGRAM FOR US BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SPRING, SUMMER, DISTANCE LEARNING, THERE ARE LEARNING GAPS THAT ARE OCCURRING.

OUR TEACHERS ARE DOING THE ABSOLUTE BEST THEY CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

BUT THIS IS ONE MORE LAYER THAT IF STUDENTS WANT TO GET SOME EXTRA HELP, THEY'LL BE ABLE

[00:40:01]

AND SO YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE ARTICLE IN THE L.A.

TIMES TALKED ABOUT TUTORING BEING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF SEEING THE THE WEALTH GAP CONTINUE WITH INDIVIDUALS.

SOME INDIVIDUAL CAN AFFORD TUTORING AND SOME CAN'T.

THIS ELIMINATES THAT FOR BONITA UNIFIED ANY STUDENT GRADES THREE THROUGH 12 THAT NEEDS IT WILL BE ABLE TO GET THAT TUTORING.

IN CARE SOLACE IS GOING TO BE A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE INSTITUTING THAT WILL ENHANCE OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM. AND SO THIS SERVICE TAKES AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CALLS IN AND NEEDS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

THEY WILL LINK THEM TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES.

AND THE DIFFERENCE WITH THIS PROGRAM IS IT'S NOT JUST GIVING THEM A PHONE NUMBER OR SAY, HEY, WHY DON'T YOU TRY THIS? THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD THEIR HAND THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE HELP THAT THEY NEED.

THIS IS GOING TO BE OPEN FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES OF STAFF AND STUDENTS.

SO IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO LINK UP WITH ANY SERVICES THAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

AND SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THESE THREE ITEMS. WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

MATT, I APPRECIATE THE REMINDER THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL USING BOOKS OUT THERE, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, WHEN YOU THINK DISTANT LEARNING OR YOU'RE IMAGINING THESE KIDS JUST DOING NOTHING BUT STARING AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN ALL DAY LONG.

AND SO IT'S REASSURING THAT, BUT IT'S A LOT MORE ROBUST THAN THAT ON THE TECHNOLOGY WHEN YOU SHOWED THE PICTURE OF THE FOUR STUDENTS IN A BREAKOUT ROOM.

IS IT SUCH THAT THE TEACHER CAN GO FROM BREAK OUT TO BREAK OUT TO BREAK OUT AND CHAT WITH THEM AND SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING AND MONITOR THAT.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO THEY'LL THEY'LL BOUNCE AROUND THOSE ROOMS CONSISTENTLY TO CHECK IN, ASK QUESTIONS, GET ANY CLARITY FOR UNDERSTANDING, AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

AND MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY GOES TO SOME OF THOSE.

AND IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE THE ENGAGEMENT THEY'VE MANAGED THROUGH ZOOM.

THERE WAS A TEACHER AND I GUESS MY DAUGHTER HAD TO TAKE OVER OUR LIVING ROOM BECAUSE THERE WAS A WHOLE BUNCH OF ACTIVITIES AND SHE NEEDED A BREAK AND SHE HAD THIS WHOLE THING.

AND I WAS, OF COURSE, BUSY WORKING.

BUT I DID SEE HER DOING THIS ACROSS THE HALL.

AND IT WAS PRETTY EXCITING TO SEE THAT THE BREAKOUT ROOMS HAVE BEEN GREAT.

I'VE SEEN IT BOTH FOR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF TALKING TO THEIR PEERS. I'VE SEEN IT WHERE THEY'RE DOING SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION, WHETHER ONE STUDENT'S READING OR THEY'RE ALL SOMEONE'S READING TO THEM.

I SAW THAT. SO, YEAH, I REALLY APPRECIATED THE ENGAGEMENT.

AT LEAST I'VE SEEN FROM MY STUDENTS TEACHERS TO DROP OFF PICK UP HAS BEEN PRETTY SEAMLESS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S VERY WELL ORGANIZED.

THANK YOU, PTA'S FOR ALL THAT.

AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THESE OTHER PROGRAMS WE'RE ADDING BOTH THE IN-PERSON TUTORING AND THE, I GUESS, ONLINE CHAT TUTORING.

I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL DEFINITELY HELP REDUCE LEARNING GAP.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND THANK YOU FOR THE ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE PICKED OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF TO DO THIS.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A HUGE UNDERTAKING, I'M SURE.

THANK YOU. I STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.

OK.

THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS I VIEWED THE CANDIDATES FORUM THAT WAS ON TV AND ONE OF THE CANDIDATES, I THINK JUST MISSPOKE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS.

HE OR SHE SAID WE HAVE EIGHT COUNSELORS IN THE DISTRICT.

AND I JUST WANT TO REASSURE ANYONE WHO'S LISTENING AND WHOEVER THE CANDIDATE IS THAT MAY HAVE MISSPOKE AND THAT WE HAVE MANY MORE THAN THAN EIGHT COUNSELORS IN THE DISTRICT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW.

WELL, ABSOLUTELY. AND SO THE 8 IS REFERRING TO THE EIGHT MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPECIALISTS WE HIRED LAST YEAR. WE ALREADY HAD THREE.

THAT'S ELEVEN. WE HAVE DOUBLE DIGIT SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS, DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBER OF SCHOOL COUNSELORS. SO WE HAVE A PRETTY BIG TEAM OF COUNSELORS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT IT'S SO IMPORTANT.

AND THEN I LIKE SEEING INCREASED USAGE FOR SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS.

I'M SURE SUSAN APPRECIATED THAT WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] AND THINGS, WE COVERED THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS REAL HAPPY THAT THERE'S NO CHARGE FOR THE THE PAPER.

I THINK THAT'S.

FOR STUDENTS, YES.

THAT WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THAT ON BOARD.

AND THEN THE WELCOME TO BONITA VIRTUAL CALM ROOM.

YES. IS THAT OPEN TO BOARD MEMBERS? [LAUGHTER] ABSOLUTELY.

YES. IT'S A PUBLIC WEBSITE.

YOU CAN USE IT AT YOUR LEISURE.

IF YOU GO THERE. MATT'S IN THERE QUITE A BIT.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, MATT. THANK YOU.

I ALSO I HAVE A COMMENT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND THE TEACHERS, WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE TO BE CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE IS AMAZING.

[00:45:07]

IT IS SIMPLY A FRUSTRATION IN HOW WE ARE BEING, YOU KNOW, COMBINED WITH L.A.

COUNTY AS FAR AS WHAT OUR DISTRICT IS DOING.

I MEAN, EVERYONE HAS SEEN HERE AND IT'S AMAZING AND YOU'RE REALLY GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON OUR KIDS.

AND I APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS DISTRICT.

THANK YOU. AND THE TEACHERS, I MEAN, I HAVE SEEN JUST THEIR HEARTS.

AND I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS DOING DISTANCE LEARNING OR TEACHING, AND SHE'S BEEN PAINTING HER NAILS. NOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS, BUT SHE DOES NOT PAINT HER NAILS.

BUT SHE IS TRYING TO GET THESE CHILDREN'S ATTENTION IN ANY WAY THAT SHE CAN THINK OF.

AND NOW IT'S PAINTING NAILS.

AND I JUST THINK THAT THAT SHOWS THE HEART OF THESE TEACHERS AND, YOU KNOW, ADDING THE AFTER SCHOOL INSTRUCTION.

AND PAPER AND THE CARE SOLACE IS JUST ADDITIONAL TOOLS TO HELP OUR FAMILIES AND OUR KIDS AND OUR TEACHERS AND EVERYBODY THROUGH THIS.

AND I JUST I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU.

AND CARL, I THINK THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY CAN TO LEAD THIS DISTRICT.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE THAT. I JUST LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE PAPER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO FIND A PROGRAM THAT WOULD WORK AND SERVICES WORKING WITH BUSINESS SERVICES FOUND THE MONEY TO MAKE IT WORK AND THAT WE'RE PROVIDING NO CHARGE TUTORING TO 10000 KIDS, THAT I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER ANYONE ELSE AROUND US DOING THAT.

AND I WANT TO APPLAUD EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN AND THINKING WE NEED IT AND FINDING A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK. AND IT WASN'T A VERY HARD SELL WHEN IT HIT OUR LEVEL.

YEAH. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. OK REQUEST TO SPEAK ON OPEN SESSION AGENDA ITEMS, DO WE HAVE ANY.
