UNKNOWN 0:10:20

American Legion California Boise State and I I'm also a young senator this year so I'm very involved in our community specifically in politics and I thought the school of education the Board of Education would be a good opportunity for me to expand my horizon I'm a part of a to be a teen or high school and I've heard about student

UNKNOWN 0:10:46

government day in the past and I came across being Superintendent of the day and that's Bobby on February 15th so I just thought it'd be cool to be superintendent for a day and you're plenty cool high school and we've been going through a lot of leaders and kind of in the forefront and also I also have a kind of passion for politics so I

UNKNOWN 0:11:19

figured this to be a good way to broaden my horizons mmm so like Devon said we're both in the u.s. you heard about my high school in addition to being involved in United student body I'm also a class officer and I am a member on the LA County Junior fair board so for me we were recommended to this program by

UNKNOWN 0:11:41

our leadership adviser but in addition to that we also saw it as a very good opportunity to you know get to be involved in our community specifically and to kind of explore through our positions you know different facets of the educational system and how we can work to improve them thank you all so much for coming tonight

UNKNOWN 0:12:00

and for sharing with us we appreciate it greatly we are now at comments from employee representatives mrs. Farley is not here is okay hi Michael Rodriguez I'm the assistant principal at Walnut Avenue Elementary and just wanted to share some good things that our administrators are doing first of all at our own school site we just wanted to thank we just celebrated

UNKNOWN 0:12:33

the opening of an all accessible playground for our moderate-severe students and really all our students on our campus whether it's orthopedic impairment or physical disabilities and so that was a great leadership through our special education director on Ingles Rood and our maintenance director Martin selves area and of course our site administrator you know took a couple months but the

UNKNOWN 0:12:57

playground is open now and it's great and so if you ever want to come and see some some kids enjoying and laughing it's a great opportunity and then another thing just to recognize all the administrators that are volunteering their time through a district program called future and aspiring administrator program so this program allows teachers in the district to be mentored by an

UNKNOWN 0:13:19

administrator and I think it's a great opportunity for the teachers to be mentored and kind of learn and for the district to kind of grow their own leadership and so I know we had a visitor we had miss Han from Butterfield today and it was a great experience for her and so just want to thank all those

UNKNOWN 0:13:34

administrators that are volunteering their time and mentoring those teachers Thank You mr. Hernandez from CSC a no comments mr. ball from a CT good evening I'm also not as cool as Anthony but last week I participated along with administrators and some of our instructional coaches in the classroom learning realms and these are classroom walkthroughs that primarily focus on what and how our students are

UNKNOWN 0:14:19

learning and in every school we saw students hard at work on tasks collaborating and being led and coached and encouraged and taught by passionate highly qualified teachers it was inspiring but I think the real value is yet to come and that's when our teachers themselves get to participate and see other classrooms in action and I know that's already in the works at some

UNKNOWN 0:14:48

sites and on Saturday I attended the chat de Chino ed tech day hosted by our own technology training department and it was fabulous yes mrs. Sykes yes it was fabulous as a training event they thought of everything breakfast burritos vendor displays an incredible keynote speaker raffles more breakfast burritos I had to it was remarkable best of all though was the

breakout sessions led by our own teachers sharing some aspect of technology that can be used immediately to enhance our own teaching and our students learning and hundreds of our own teachers came out on a Saturday morning to take advantage of that expertise I really can't say enough about how excellent the training was as teachers we're all in different places

UNKNOWN 0:15:52

when it comes to using technology in the classroom but really there was something for everybody at chat day so to everybody who was involved awesome job and thank you and lastly I know we're coming up to a time of year when some difficult decisions need to be made in regards to staffing and I just want to say tonight how much I

UNKNOWN 0:20:54

my k23 class and a four five and six class well actually this year my class has gone to k22 and it's a three to six class I would also like to take this time to thank the special ed Department mrs. Ingalls rude they have been wonderful this year with support for us we have a brand new curriculum we've

UNKNOWN 0:21:15

never had a curriculum for there months of your population before so this is wonderful we have the new playground as mr. Rodriguez already mentioned that is adaptable for all students with special needs it is wheelchair accessible thank you very much we also have an LVN on campus now and we have a school nurse that is there every single day that is also

UNKNOWN 0:21:42

wonderful and before I continue I'd like to say thank you to mr. mrs. Morales our principal and mr. Rodriguez they have been very supportive with that being said the special ed Department has not only given us the playground curriculum they have given us technology switches we have smart boards I'm able to use the switches wirelessly so that the children

UNKNOWN 0:22:08

can interact with the smart board and it's been great and they have shown us that they have they're able to their capability is so much with that being said we have 25 students between the three classes six in preschool nine in my class and ten and the three to six class two of those children in the preschool are in

UNKNOWN 0:22:32

wheelchairs and two of them have private duty nurses six of the students in my class have wheelchairs and I have three private duty nurses and there are six wheelchairs in the three to six class with four private duty nurses and I gotta hurry up that means there's 15 wheelchairs ten private duty nurses nine students with g-tubes that can't swallow

UNKNOWN 0:22:55

one catheter one student with a trach three students that require oxygen eight students that have seizures some on a daily basis for students that are being mainstreamed part of the time and one student that is being fully included or mainstreamed almost all day what I would like for the board to consider is like ain't Kim I know I think we're all going

UNKNOWN 0:23:23

to ask that doesn't happen but we need to hear what what we would like is we would like to invite you guys to come and see our program to see what we have to see with what our what we're dealing with we have 10 standards for walkers 8 adaptive chairs and 3 potty chairs that we use constantly we would like you to

UNKNOWN 0:23:58

come see this so that we can help make this even better ok thank you thank you [Applause] Veronica Nunez followed by Michelle Fleischer good evening board members cabinet and superintendent my name is Veronica Nunez and I teach at Howard cattle elementary and I would like to speak to you this evening about the lack of sufficient substitutes for our

UNKNOWN 0:24:32

district mandated trainings and sight trainings we are directed to attend wonders which is ela trainings and math this year as well and this is happening a few times per trimester some of us take a few hours to prepare for the absences and some of my colleagues may take more time we then go to the location for the training and often were

UNKNOWN 0:24:57

called back because there aren't enough subs to take our class we may also need to return to the classroom if we're on site for a refresher course or etc just our site training then we may be asked to attend another session which we have to start planning all over again and then we may have to be called back again

UNKNOWN 0:25:17

because there is no sub this may not happen at all sites I'm not sure I just know it's a concern at my site and I wanted to bring that to your attention a few years ago we were led to believe that the district had more than enough substitutes and new people were not being hired we are told that it's hard

UNKNOWN 0:25:36

to acquire substitutes on Mondays and Fridays but the teachers have no control over the calendar as far as trainings go and therefore to me that's not even a point do we pay less than surrounding districts I'm not sure because perhaps that's the reason that we lose substitutes to other districts and there's not enough to cover our optin

UNKNOWN 0:25:58

tsa's but it's not an absence it's it's a district mandated training so I'm would like you to please consider having trainings in the summer as this does not require us to prepare for a substitute nor to spend two or more hours for planning and that that way we can attend and that's my part of my solution for this issue that I'm having

UNKNOWN 0:26:21

with substitutes and I thank you for your time Michele Fleischer hello my name is Michele Fleischer I've been a special education teacher in the school district for ten years in a variety of settings I'd like to talk to you board members staff members etc today about the fact that SDC at the elementary school currently is a program that has

UNKNOWN 0:27:01

three grade levels in each of the classes and I'd like to suggest that there be two grade levels in the classes versus three having three grade levels in a class means that you often have that student for three years and if it's not a good fit for the student or the teacher you still have that student for

UNKNOWN 0:27:24

three years it's not the best for the student it's not necessarily the best for the teacher either and with the amount of curriculum we are trying to get through especially with the new wonders program and all of the math standards and the science standards that are coming up there's just not a enough time in the day to get through three

UNKNOWN 0:27:47

grade levels worth of each of those and do it well I want to do the best I can for my students I know a lot of SDC teachers feel that way and trying to teach three grade levels who of students who are well be behind their peer groups is hard enough and there's just not really enough time to get it all done

UNKNOWN 0:28:12

and done well I'd like to suggest that you really look into doing two grade levels at a time if at all possible thank you thank you we're now at changes in deletions Stephanie are there any changes or deletions no there are none we are now at action items please announce the first item item 2a one public hearing

UNKNOWN 0:39:30

think that's the key to the alternative program right is that togetherness that they have also see if you've been doing an excellent job sir so he's almost like you lifted a load and it feels lighter so good job dr. Han filled maybe we should look at what the woman was stating about three preps occurring in one classroom and also

UNKNOWN 0:39:57

maybe even a comparative study of the substitute pay see if there is a variation within and oh there's a fight keep run run for us I know miss Blair if she does it I see her well I don't run but I'm there but it is good it benefits the police department which is excellent the Golden Bell award engineer advisor

UNKNOWN 0:40:29

Brian angstrom coordinator and teacher and dr. Carrboro has created a really great engineering program that allows students to experience a rigorous hands-on problem-based curriculum and you know the engineering it's such a great program and somebody didn't mention it I don't know who but somebody recommended that perhaps they would might call the building instrum [Laughter] to MIT the board the movement of the

UNKNOWN 0:41:04

board I it almost feels like a plant of plants growing and fruits are growing it feels different I have to admit it feels very different and it's a good feeling and it's a very well-adjusted feeling and you know as for me I just do what I do because that's what my heart takes me so if I do something if I say something

UNKNOWN 0:41:30

that I offend you I don't need to do that just as opportunity I have so but I have to admit you guys are very good board members so but I have to say one and that is you know I had a student state TA and my I'm student TA he's he watched the State of the Union and he asked me my opinion so

UNKNOWN 0:41:52

I asked him about how he felt and so he said that he that he felt that the dress was very democratic and I said you're right you're exactly right he he is a Democrat I said to him it's perfectly well and so I said a number of things to him I said you know things are coming back families coming back jobs are

UNKNOWN 0:42:14

coming back industry's coming back the military is coming back veterans the police a national anthem and overall I told I told son nothing to be scared of that hope is coming back surprise and also maybe a moment of silence of the student that passed away at a yellow light thank you next mrs. Blair as mrs. Orozco and mr.

UNKNOWN 0:43:02

Cruz mentioned and I'm sure mr. na probably will too we all attended the alternative education graduation yesterday I just wanted to read the names of the eight graduates and the vessel Anika Burlingame Miranda Casas Talia Castellanos Roe Garcia Ian Najera Jose Ramirez and Adam Salas and it's just wonderful to witness and we should be proud that we offer a program not

UNKNOWN 0:43:35

traditional high school where students can still succeed earn their diploma and be proud of their achievement so small class but with a lot of meaning so I just wanted to congratulate all eight of our graduates from last night and that's it and mr. not yes it is where Jonah could be my son I would always seem when I

UNKNOWN 0:44:02

walk around the campus and chino hills' this time in front of i wonderful teacher his name was mr. browning and all kids would praise him and how much you they will learn from this one individual and we had a joke that he could be a campus leader at any time site leader at any time so we have a

UNKNOWN 0:44:26

really tremendous amount of a talent among our teachers so I'm really excited that our students are experiencing them forefront I'd like to thank yo Canyon and they're piloting new PE program or the all kids could enjoy different sport at same time but more than that in the end students will get praised for good behavior they'll pick up two three

UNKNOWN 0:45:03

students and and they'll be praised I think we're doing a PE education but at the same time building a good character in them so I think it's a great program I like to thank all the teachers involved and our district staffs thank you I'd like to thank dr. Grace Park for supporting our special ed program at Chino Hills High School they're getting

UNKNOWN 0:45:28

their technology support that the no one else has in other districts but we are providing that special service so thank you dr. Park and alternate education graduation yes wow the speaker valedictorian I have eight students but she spoke like the top speech maker in nation she said people used to call me a dumb blonde and when I was little I believed in that but

UNKNOWN 0:46:04

then one day she was taught don't blong could go so far being a model could go so far you need to have an education so she had pursued that Avenue and our district had provided that service and our special teachers supported her and other seven students to push and not give up so we're so happy so thank you for again other

UNKNOWN 0:46:37

teachers Ayala high student 17 years old hit by a drunk driver who happens to be only 23 years old being drunk at 7:20 and early night so this is lesson that we're learning life is real so is the death and our job is to to do our best to protect our youth because there are our future she could have been a

UNKNOWN 0:47:11

greatest mother she could have been a greatest grandma but she lost that opportunity here one person told me dad we're here in a playground some people has many toys and some has few but in the night time when we're going home we leave all of our toys behind another person told me the real wholeness that you see are not those on the streets but

UNKNOWN 0:47:50

don't have place to go after this life and this all happened at the funeral service where people had to think and know how precious our lives are so our students make sure you don't drink and drive make sure you don't follow what the weird adults do because the tragedies do happen so I think we were hurt so much but we must learn

UNKNOWN 0:48:28

something from her passing I like to ask mr. Joseph because this conversation had happened with me with many teachers why we do not have a pizza program in our school district and it could be a burden for many young teachers coming in so I'd like to see the restoration of a pizza program for our teachers because down

UNKNOWN 0:48:58

the road we'll be competing with other school districts where they do provide such a service and any way that we can do to support and grow our youth and young teachers this is time to do it and also the help talk to me about professional development training it could happen twice a year but we have so much talent here why don't we do it

UNKNOWN 0:49:26

in-house and save that money and use it for our school programs student programs and also maybe give out Christmas bonus for all our teachers and staffs I think that would be a best use you know we said the business stay in Chino you see the science or Chino but our fans too III don't believe that we should spend

UNKNOWN 0:49:53

lots of money going outside and that happens only twice a year where we are able to do it I believe now I'm sure many teachers would would participate up designing that program as well where many teachers who has been teaching for how many years it 10 20 30 years or 40 so I'd like to see that study coming

UNKNOWN 0:50:21
