UNKNOWN 0:32:11

question that he can trust what is a great point into saying you know what they have access Oh it also states that is an alternative region changing era maybe news like any student desires privacy I think I need to get an understanding of what that means here you know like I said like just does that mean every

UNKNOWN 0:32:45

student it says any that means a child present it's very private it's very shy about exposed to themselves myself I thought crazy to beach at work a teenager you might like hi so I'm just trying to figure out where that fits and today they were to ask questions just like sprouts rise Oh all of us yes very very young very arrogant and I

UNKNOWN 0:35:52

just don't think that's the way we should and no no she want to sweep under the carpet that you'd want to meet with different parents under the white with the assistant principal that's unacceptable serious stuff the coach let me give you an example so my son being a great player stats short we played colony we were down my son played the first period

UNKNOWN 0:36:18

he's a number one three-point shooter on our team and you've got the number two rebounds and that's my counter time look at the starters her name is after playing quality we were down by at home we're down 45 points there was 40 seconds left and he put my son in with big semi team it killed and he had tears

UNKNOWN 0:36:39

in his own court was his friend Sarah I always started a great kid where the players played on the freshman new one that they won the championship for pulmonary they play the G be the same before they also won the championship and now in as a varsity on the varsity there we get plenty time pumping their feet because both teams up freshmen that

UNKNOWN 0:37:15

do not belong on the Freshman team I mean on the varsity team and and he's done the other kids did so what happened was the day before the last game also win one more game and we also lived in Wroblewski last 11 games we lost saw all 11 so we didn't can make the pass but the does tell you about the starters

UNKNOWN 0:37:57

thank you speakers we are now at changes in the emissions path are there any changes or deletions the following changes in deletions are on the agenda item three a one administration page 17 January 17 minutes correct closed session time to read 425 to 6:45 p.m. and item 3 c2 CI is page 47 student expulsion cases delete from the agenda

UNKNOWN 0:38:20

case 18 19-15 thank you we are now at action items please announce the first item item 2 a1 revision of bylaws of the board ninety three twenty four minutes and recordings recommend the Board of Education approved the revision of bylaw support ninety three twenty four minutes and recordings are there any speakers no speakers may I have a motion it's been

UNKNOWN 0:38:52

moved by Gagne three of a second second I miss Blair any comments okay miss Blair thirty days after the meeting I asked that we have our discussion about we should erase or destroy the videos that we upload after just 30 days and I thought we were going to have a discussion about that but now here it is

UNKNOWN 0:39:40

as an action item and it it's listed as the 30 days um doctor and Phil you can make an amendment to the board policy so before you could do anything to the policy it needs to come as as an item before the board so I brought it forward as an action item so that you guys as a

UNKNOWN 0:40:10

board can have a discussion on it and if you believe that needs to be removed then you can make a motion regarding any changes or deletions that you want to make to this current policy I think at a minimum we should keep the the videos uploaded at least for six months to allow the community an opportunity to

UNKNOWN 0:40:32

that if anyone wants to do research about an action item we've taken I know that holding on for years is but we need them at least for several months to go back and and so that's at a minimum I would say that we leave them there for six months no it's not working mr. chef felt first and then we're

UNKNOWN 0:41:11

keeping them all up where we haven't removed them so every time we record them we leave them up yeah mr. Gagne for six months back or even a year back you know what happened also most public officials merit honorable for what we say so I understand that there's a capacity issue sometimes with storage but I do think there should be some

UNKNOWN 0:41:39

amendment to this that they are allowing the public to access it's possible dr. Anfield I would make a recommendation if you guys wanted and I would make an amendment or a motion to whatever you want that language to say to add that into the policy if that is what you want to do and dr. Enfield so if we make a maintenance will let come

UNKNOWN 0:42:07

back as in neither I Adam because we're changing the policy if you if you make a motion to amend this item my recommendation would always be to bring it back so the public could see how the new language reads okay thank you I think at some point capacity to store is is something we we need to consider

UNKNOWN 0:42:48

so indefinite I don't think that that's the best practice even though right now we they are they have been there since we started recording them but I think that we should be sensible and and pick a time frame and do we want to say to leave them there for a year at a minimum for a year what is everyone else suggestion

UNKNOWN 0:43:24

indefinite or a year what my thought is if it's there and we didn't had any complaints but I think there indefinitely as the capacity takes I don't think we should limit the the freedom of our public to watch and we here are meetings I'm not sure how many are going to watch us but I think it's good to be open we need to decide on

UNKNOWN 0:44:01

what we're amending it to it's it's feasible I mean at this point in time there we save them on to onto YouTube that there that we use to save them to so at this point probably unlimited that we can save them but if you want to if you want to make any changes to this I think someone would need to make a

UNKNOWN 0:44:31

motion and then I'll make a motion and then read out the language that you would want to add to this board policy and then the board can vote on that change I'm mr. Schaefer any recording so I'm assuming we're talking about things other than just the broadcast of the meetings correct yes that would be correct so this is all encompassing for

UNKNOWN 0:45:08

for any recording yes sir do you camera recordings or is that a separate policy no it's right above it indicates tape film broadcast recorder or a camera so everything from the above paragraph images it's referring to the me just me yeah okay missing on the motion fails well I was concentrating on the next on the next paragraph right so if you're manic

UNKNOWN 0:46:12

well if we strike that sentence the next sentence reads recordings made at the direction of the board hang on one sec if if you want you can let that motion die and then you could add to it because right now we have a motion that's sitting on the floor and we need a second if not then it dies because we

UNKNOWN 0:46:35

can't have a discussion at this right and then she can bring it again once I asked for my clarifying point the next sentence reads that the recordings made at the direction of the board during a meeting our public records and upon request shall be made available for inspection by members of the public on district equipment without charge but if

UNKNOWN 0:47:06

we're already uploading them then I don't think we need this whole paragraph right that's what I'm trying to say is why are we striking that when the next one doesn't make sense they don't have to ask us for them because they're already on the website so my motion would be to strike that whole last paragraph which is the first

UNKNOWN 0:47:32

step to send a second and the second sentence the whole thing whole paragraph right because they don't have to request them anymore they're on the website dr. Tannen field so if you just strike that paragraph just because it's not in board policy that's still government government code so I'm just wanted to make sure everybody's clear that that would still

UNKNOWN 0:47:55

be into play even though it's not in board policy that's government code and it would still allow the district to do that so my recommendation to you is if you're going to strike that whole paragraph you may want to come back and add how long were you thinking of keeping a minimum Lee up on the up on

UNKNOWN 0:48:12

the web for the public to view so that would be my recommendation if you were going to strike that whole paragraph you want to ensure that they're up there for a certain time period that you would then add a sentence that would capture that thought I have a question doctor and field if we have the kept as

UNKNOWN 0:48:28

capacity and have these meetings on public for a long long time why are we discussing it to shore in that period where were abiding by the government code from the from the district's perspective from staff we're we have no desire to remove them good so we're obligated under government code from what we've just learned and also it's cited here in this particular board

UNKNOWN 0:49:21

policy that we have to keep the second sentence of this paragraph so I'd like to read bring my motion to strike the wording any district recording may be a race to destroy 30 days after the meeting since that solves the issue of the time concern no discussion doctor any field so if we make all these motions and and trying to strike out

UNKNOWN 0:49:49

these sentences but we're obligated to keep the government qualities in it for my understanding the government code would still be in play but this would not be in the board policy okay Donny I brought this motion but is the government code specifically relating to the fact that the public must have access to the record upon request and

UNKNOWN 0:50:13

that's the government code not these precise time period that I'm not sure I'd have to check and see well I don't want to do anything that would be illegal and in violation of government code so is there a possibility of us tabling this and getting it okay let's table this we do need to make sure we're in compliance with the law is

UNKNOWN 0:50:37

there a second second to that much I second it to table to decide him until the further investigation on the fact that were up to the government code all those in favor say aye aye opposed passes vibes you the next item item to be one revision of board policy sixty one forty two point one instruction family life sex education sexual health

UNKNOWN 0:51:12

Schaefer the comments any questions miss Connie or

UNKNOWN 0:51:50

what item is this on what page so dr. and feels so what what are we revising I brought it we brought it forward as an action item because I know there was discussion on it at the last board meeting so in case there was any further discussion we've brought it forward as an action item to allow that

UNKNOWN 0:52:29

discussion regarding this item if there isn't then so it's page 13 and and what are we changing yeah there's no change from the last time that we brought it as information okay and then we're slashing so we're getting rid of what we were doing was the the board policy was not aligned with what the with the with the state's

UNKNOWN 0:53:05

requirements for the sex education and health and HIV and AIDS prevention and so we went in there to make sure that the board policy met the requirement set by the state of California so we're removing the sentence and to conceptualize no nothing no yeah as the superintendent gives me the flexibility to establish an advisory committee and as part of that process I've asked the

Park has a short information presentation on the first side of dr. Park well I'm not dr. Park you look close well it's a our pleasure tonight my distinct pleasure to bring to you for information the thank you to bring to you for information our instruction materials for grades 9 through 12 English Language Arts in English language development and so myself dr.

UNKNOWN 0:58:15

Hecker saw we have two teachers William Joseph II and mrs. Robert Hernandez who are going to give you some information on not only the process but on the instruction materials so in 2014 the state of California did the State Board of Education did something pretty groundbreaking what they did is they took two very distinct sets of standards

UNKNOWN 0:58:40

our English Language Arts Common Core State Standards as well as our English language development and they blended the two standards for a new framework and that integration of English language arts and English language development is our what we base our materials on our instruction materials on today in 2014 that same year a few months later the State Board of Education made some

UNKNOWN 0:59:05

recommendation absorb sorry adopted some publishers materials and so starting as early as 2015 16 16 17 we started our process for adopting materials at the secondary sites 1718 last year we adopted for grade seven and eight and now we're at grades nine through 12 and so that's a little bit of the of the history the background I'm

UNKNOWN 0:59:27

going to invite dr. echo saw a pair our coordinator of secondary curriculum and stress to talk to you a little bit about the process thank you on April 12th a committee of teachers came together voluntarily to review the materials provided by the State Board of Education guidelines for piloting textbooks and instructional materials additionally the committee reviewed the

UNKNOWN 0:59:54

materials from three different publishers Pearson mcgraw-hill Houghton Mifflin Harcourt the committee used district creative tools as well as the California adoption toolkit to determine the viability of these programs to meet the needs of our students there were evaluation categories we had five of them total category one was to ensure high quality materials category two was to ensure that there was enough

UNKNOWN 1:00:23

content and support for a full year of instruction category three was to monitor student progress category four included differentiation for the variety of our student needs and abilities category five was to ensure the comfort with the material for both students and teachers at the end of the day the evaluation tools were tallied by the group and before the group left it was

UNKNOWN 1:00:48

determined that they would pilot to publishers Dave Pearson and mcgraw-hill the pilot lasted from August 20th to December 20th of this school year within that we had 35 voluntary participants this translates to 3,000 878 students participating in this pilot all of our student subgroups were represented in this group staff from various departments were on hand to provide

UNKNOWN 1:01:25

support during the process and support was also provided by the publishers in the form of training and support from the Ald coaches this was an open publisher pilot system meaning that the publishers maintained communication with the teachers during this window in case any questions arose and so we know you like to hear from the teachers because you know boots on the

UNKNOWN 1:01:52

ground they're the ones using the materials and so we have mrs. Robert Hernandez version and mr. William Chris avi Robbins over at Chino Hills High School so I like to invite her up good evening so what you see here with my students I teach at Chino Hills High School and I teach 9th and 11th grade English this year I piloted the

UNKNOWN 1:02:10

materials with my ninth grade classes and reference they're all in my classroom as well so I have honors classes GP classes eld student special ed students all in those same classes so when I piloted I was really looking at what was going to meet the needs of all of my students because I have sort of struggling proficient advanced students

UNKNOWN 1:02:33

in every class and my perspectives program was successful I had my students vote before I went to that last tally up meeting to vote myself and my students overwhelmingly voted for the my perspectives program some of the things you'll see them doing in the pictures they're annotating directly in the books they love being able to write directly

UNKNOWN 1:02:53

on those materials they're taking in two of those pictures some online assessments and some of them are diagnostic so they do them at the beginning of a unit some are midway through and some are happy and they all get immediate feedback as soon as they finish the assessment and then I get that immediate feedback which I then can

UNKNOWN 1:03:11

use for the next day the next week the rest of the unit to figure out where I'm going and one of the things that stood out to me I'll I'll end with this is just the high interest of the materials in this book as compared to the other pilot materials we saw my students were just really excited about the topics and

UNKNOWN 1:03:27

in fact we've moved to our next unit second semester we're still using the pearson materials because the students had the option if they wanted to go back to the old textbook or continue with the pilot materials and they've chosen to keep going within my perspective so we sort of wholeheartedly voted yes for my perspective that my site in my classroom

UNKNOWN 1:03:45

thank you thank you good evening I think mr. Ranas Hernandez covered many of the same sentiments that I have I appreciated that the I appreciated that the Pearson program allows the teacher to work with the students who are at different levels it's very clear and very well laid out in the teacher's guide especially when compared to the other program that we

UNKNOWN 1:04:13

piloted the students are able to use the consumable book which is an important part of how we teach these days I found that with the old textbook that we're currently using and about to move past that I would be copying pages and spending much of my time in that in the copy room preparing that for the students and using quite a bit of paper

UNKNOWN 1:04:36

so having the consumable book is very important for me and I think important for my students they really did like the the text and what was available in it as well as the guidance that it provides in the way that it moves them from a level where I'm more involved to a group cooperative type activity or a series of

UNKNOWN 1:04:59

activities and then finally into an individual activity where they can take command of what they've learned in in the previous parks and the other thing that sort of excites me is that this Pearson program is designed to also be used on computers so it should take us into this kind of continued push into the 21st century where we will have more

UNKNOWN 1:05:19

access to say laptops Chromebooks in the classroom and they can even you know take take what they've done sing on a laptop and work on it on their phones and things like that so it works it works very well for where I see myself going where I see Ben Bova students thank you to both of them we ended in mid-january January 15th in

UNKNOWN 1:05:46

fact there were two very important deliberations going on that day one was ours and the other was brexit I think ours was just as important the deliberation day speaking of using a lot of paper you see the up in the left-hand corner we it really was a full seven-hour six seven hours of discussing the pros and then not so pros as we call

UNKNOWN 1:06:08

them we don't want to use word cons of both of the programs but it gave the teachers an opportunity to put everything out there and no program is going to you know beep 100% perfect but if it isn't perfect do we have the resources and the expertise to fill in those to fill in those gaps in and we we

UNKNOWN 1:06:23

felt we did and so it's a full day of deliberation and then we hold a confidential vote and overwhelmingly the teachers chose Pearson's my perspectives and so we tell you that and we share it out at the end of the day and so tonight represent this for information and a pawn board approval we'd have to reconvene our committee and discuss some

UNKNOWN 1:06:50

novels that's helped supplement the materials the instruction materials and then go about planning some professional learning that comes along with a new program so with that only to entertain any question mr. Cruz notice that a lot of students participated and those pictures a lot of the staff so you did a very good job but just the idea of or

UNKNOWN 1:07:15

cursed a deenis and the logistic behind it was it was a lot of work how many of you did this up and like set this whole thing like 10 of you kind of orchestrating this thing bringing the teachers in and all this oh just you - [Laughter] it's you - it's the entire district office well we have a lot of support

UNKNOWN 1:07:37

from all the departments part of the part of the duty is that we have to pull I mean we work really hard to bring in special education or access and equity and so it's always you know it was excellent because we've got 91 percent because but three years ago it was remember it was right in the middle so at least it

UNKNOWN 1:07:56

was great Thank You mr. Schaefer any other products or textbooks from Pearson from Pearson yes we do have a couple of Pearson products at the lower grades as well as it in a question on the consumable book by Nature it's gonna be replaced annually do we know replacement costs on that going forward the replacement cost is built into the

UNKNOWN 1:08:32

initial cost so it's for the life of the adoption which is eight years that they replenish that every year okay I'd like to hit the comment to us thank you so much for especially the teachers and our staffs and cabinet members I happen to drive by another new housing project and those I think KB homes and they said

UNKNOWN 1:08:55

yeah wearing the Chino Valley School District and people lining up buying signing documents and so this is what it takes taking all the students even though it's a tedious work but ultimately it's about the kids it's what our students being becoming successful individuals achieving their dreams goals in higher education or the job market so it is very important that we involve our

UNKNOWN 1:09:23

students even selecting our textbooks where they could understand and and reduce it and memorize things and I wish I had divisive and I was going to school years that was given and before and tested you know so thank you so much for your hard work and I've technology department there too just appreciate you thank you good great presentation thank

UNKNOWN 1:09:47

UNKNOWN 1:11:13

logistics but I'll be posting a schedule for the next couple of months my intent is just to provide a forum that's not this formal board meeting for anyone to communicate any issues or positive thing about the district and finally I just want to point out I got two wonderful letters and so I'd be remiss not to thank the writers of these letters first

UNKNOWN 1:14:11

Seuss I love Berenstein bears I'll have to decide what book I'm going to bring and I also like to thank from the same campus jennifer taylor she also wrote me a very nice handwritten note I just want

Honor Band concert is next week February 12th at Chino Hills High School and I want to again ask that we bring forth reinstalling committee members to the committee for the Arts there is a lot of money and scholarships grants out there that we need to pursue I I don't know what happened to the committee and it just kind of fell apart but I'm not

UNKNOWN 1:15:57

giving up because there were successes out of that committee and so I know we need to place ads is the requirement or something we need to promote it to bring back the volunteers or seek volunteers for the committee so I president na and superintendent and filled we need to figure out what it is we're supposed to do to to get the

UNKNOWN 1:16:23

committee formed again I would appreciate that my only other item that I have and it's in relation to the parent from Ayala High School who spoke regarding the basketball coach it isn't the first time that we've heard concerns regarding coaches in our district and I'm not going to bash or support any of what he said or any of the other concerns that

UNKNOWN 1:16:54

we've received in in the past however I think it's something that needs to be at some point addressed I don't know if we need training for our coaches something needs to happen just last week there there were two parents who were posting about Don Lugo High School's basketball coaches in the past it has been football coaches there have been concerns about

UNKNOWN 1:17:24

the baseball coaches something needs to take place because there's a problem the the gentleman from the yellow high school parent mentioned CIF and I I think we need to hold the coaches and ourselves accountable because CIF operating principles indicate the following and I'm not going to read them all because they have a whole page but it holds board members superintendents

UNKNOWN 1:17:58

and school administrators accountable one of the items that their mission statement says pursuing victory with honor and it states that it is imperative that all involved promotes sportsmanship and foster the development of good character school sports programs must be conducted in a manner that enhances academic emotional social physical and ethical development of student athletes and teaches them positive life skills

UNKNOWN 1:18:29

that will help them become more personally successful and socially responsible at any time when our volunteer coaches and I know they're volunteers and they give up a lot of hours at anytime when they diminish a student-athlete by as the parents said bullying or favoritism that doesn't do anything to promote that student's social development it crushes spirits I

UNKNOWN 1:19:02

know firsthand how that happens I know firsthand because I'm dealing with a 16 year old whose spirit has been diminished because of coaching staff because we chose not to support students and we chose administrators and coaches so I know very well the outcome for many of these students if we don't adhere to what CIF requires us to it says school

UNKNOWN 1:19:32

board's superintendents school administrators parents parents guardians caregivers and school sport leadership's leadership shall establish standards for participation by adopting and enforcing codes of conduct for coaches athletes parents guardians caregivers and spectators we haven't done that as a board member for six years I I haven't done any of this and it is expected of me and I can tell you that we have taken

UNKNOWN 1:20:01

no time ever in the six years that I've been here to address this issue and it's continuous and the only time it gets addressed is when someone is brave enough to come here to the meeting but then they're putting their child at risk of retaliation and it happens at every level including board members being retaliated against for standing up for

UNKNOWN 1:20:28

student athletes so let's not act as though this is something that doesn't occur because it's very prevalent in Chino unified it holds school board's superintendents principals school administrators and everyone involved at any level of governance in in CIF to maintain ultimate responsibility for the quality and integrity of sports CIF programs we're not holding anyone accountable in Chino Valley Unified I've

UNKNOWN 1:20:57

been here six years I have never received a report regarding our sports programs so the quality and integrity of these programs is questionable I think it's time that we do something about it that we admit that there's a problem and offer assistance to the coaches who I agree our volunteers and give up a lot of their time but they're also hurting a

UNKNOWN 1:21:23

lot of our students and that's what we're here for so we need to do something about it I don't want to hear another parent and have to come to us to seek the help that according to CIF we should be providing we shouldn't have to hear from parents to begin to do the work that we have been that has been placed upon us it is

UNKNOWN 1:21:47

our responsibility to address this and it's time thank you doctor I want to thank all the counselors for all the work that they do day in and day out to support our students with the social and emotional well-being and also for the academic work that they do to get our kids in our schools placed into college isn't and again they do a

UNKNOWN 1:22:10

tremendous job and I can't thank them enough that's it thank you yeah I had a great day of our last government day I think students actually have raised their bar not only for themselves but for our adults they were so mature and there were thinkers so much mature they know that how harmful their their iPhone iPhones we for themselves their friends

UNKNOWN 1:22:44

and their future was amazing they had dreams they had dreams going to not just regular schools but Ivy League schools their dreams that they could work and learn skills and and and corn money buy their own cars and their own homes for the moment we thought we had diminished hope in our youth but it was not was a

UNKNOWN 1:23:18

very exciting day and I knew that everyone was special you do not have to be in government class or leadership class but every students are special because out of this earth seven point six billion population there's no duplications everyone is important and all the students have recognized that they went through the mayor's office they went through our a school site a

UNKNOWN 1:23:50

principal's office but they were showing honors and respect for themselves and for also the adults the adults from the cities in five district they were so happy that our students are conducted is such a great way that they feel like they're their own children so I said to them we have many problems every day everybody everywhere but as an adult we

UNKNOWN 1:24:27

must love children we must we must choose to love children and our youth our students you must respect elders that is the foundation of our family our community in this country so when we go back that's raising bar to say Lee to say then there'll be no bullying no abusing of our children and our children will become a servant leaders you served

UNKNOWN 1:25:04

serve one person said no one can help everyone but everyone can help someone any magnitude and you practice that keep practicing it and be perfect then what as you grow older you will be happy to say I have no regret for the past but also I have no fear for the future we had a grandma speaking tonight about

UNKNOWN 1:25:42

concerning the privacy of her grandkids in our school setting and I understand that privacy of Austen's must be respected and nurtured and I'd like to thank our teachers who had given their time they're human beings too but many times they would set aside their personal needs even going through illness sometimes just terminal in illness but they would show up in the

UNKNOWN 1:26:17

classroom so as our CSA staff members we see them many departing from us but they have a mission same mission we share the same mission serving you our students spark the light of kindness it's a great thing and when I'm out there people are happy to see me because I think harshly or mostly thanks to Don people know

UNKNOWN 1:26:51

about our school district our students and parents are so proud to be in our school district yes the things can be improved there must be but if we don't count the blessings we're choosing the other side the darkness and negativeness and we can take that to the grave but I don't think that's a good living so thank you and again our staffs and

UNKNOWN 1:27:21

our teachers thank you for serving our school district thank you I end the meeting at 8:27
