UNKNOWN 0:24:43

zero two five percent we've met our desired outcome facilities is the next area we use the fit report so the facilities inspection tool to measure that in 1819 we're happy to report the 100% of our facilities received a good or higher rating as measured by the facility inspection tool we've met our desired outcome standard the live materials we use the Williams report to

UNKNOWN 0:25:12

measure that outcome in 1819 100% of our schools reviewed have sufficient textbooks and instructional materials according to Williams site reviews we've met our desired outcome the last one is my favorite it's to technology our goal is that all teachers staff and students have access to technology that is 4 years or newer this year with the elk calf funds that have been allocated for

UNKNOWN 0:26:35

district self report on 4 of the 5 criteria on the reflection tool the progress of number 4 implementation of State Standards will be provided to you at a future board meeting in the next four slides each of the content areas is evaluated on a scale of one through five with one being exploration and research through five full implementation and

UNKNOWN 0:27:03

sustainability we are working to get to level 5 in all areas also it's important to note that the state has given flexibility to school districts to define what each level one through five means as you can see here for professional development we are gauging our progress in providing professional learning opportunities for teachers to the recently adopted academic standards

UNKNOWN 0:27:27

and/or curriculum frameworks for English language arts English language development and mathematics you will see the we are at a level four full implementation for next generation science standards and history social science we are at a level three initial implementation this is because the next generation science standards and history social science is very very new at this time so as we have more time to provide

UNKNOWN 0:27:54

learning opportunities to our teacher we will continue to move towards our fours and fives the next area is monitoring our progress and making instructional materials that are aligned to the recently adopted academic standards and/or curriculum frameworks in all classrooms for English language development and mathematics we are at a level four full implementation we are firming up a process now to enhance the

UNKNOWN 0:28:23

current instructional materials to better support student learning gaps and once we have that process firmed up we will move over to a level five we are at a level three for English language arts last year was the first year of a new implementation at the elementary level of English language arts materials this year is the first year of new materials

UNKNOWN 0:28:46

at the junior high level and at the high school level we are currently in the pilot phase so next year all students and teachers at the high school level will have materials in their hands and we will be able to move over to full implementation again next generation science standards and history social science is very new so we are in

UNKNOWN 0:29:08

beginning development and we are working on a plan to get those materials in place for policy and program support we are monitoring our progress and implementing policies or programs to support staff in identifying areas where they can improve and delivering instruction that is aligned to the recently adopted academic standards and/or curriculum frameworks in our district we have provided a very clear

UNKNOWN 0:29:36

focus and emphasis on professional learning communities this year where teachers have the opportunities to collaborate identify what's essential and look at essential standards reef refine and review effective instructional strategies and also look at student outcomes and data to determine their next steps for instructional needs in addition we have collaborative learning rounds which consists of district administration site

UNKNOWN 0:30:06

administration and teacher leaders at our school sites where teams have the opportunities to visit through the school sites and identify trends and patterns and magnify the strengths and build off of those strengths and also determine next steps for each school site to support the work that's being done by our teachers at all of our school sites so you will notice

UNKNOWN 0:30:28

in our reflection we are on a level 4 for English language arts and mathematics in addition to our professional learning communities collaborative learning rounds we also have instructional coaches that have contributed to our successes they have Copeland and co-taught with our teachers they have provided model lessons demonstrations they have also provided trainings or any other types of

UNKNOWN 0:30:55

learnings that meet the needs of our teachers they have also attributed to our English language arts and our mathematics reflection English language development you will see we are at a level 5 full implementation and sustainability that is because we have had coaching opportunities for a longer period of time in English language development again next generation science standards and history social

UNKNOWN 0:31:20

science are very new we are at level 3 initial implementation but as we have more opportunities to focus on these areas we will move over to full implementation and beyond engagement of school leadership this monitors our success and engaging in the following activities with teachers and school administrators during the prep during the prior school year the first area is

UNKNOWN 0:31:47

identifying professional learning needs of groups of teachers or staff as a whole you'll notice we are at a level 5 here full implementation and sustainability we have a systematic process in place through our teaching and learning task force to gauge the professional learning needs that is identified by our staff across our district the task force is comprised of

UNKNOWN 0:32:12

our superintendent district administration Brenda Walker along with additional a CT representation and other certificated staff who serve in a variety of capacities the next area is identifying the professional learning needs of individual teachers and we are at a level for full implementation at the school site level it has not been the practice of looking at staff professional professional learning needs

UNKNOWN 0:32:43

as long as we've had the task force in place to identify needs district-wide and the last area providing support for teachers on the standards they have not yet mastered we are at a level three initial implementation at the individual teacher level we are at the initial implementation as we have begun the process of providing support for standards that teachers have not yet

UNKNOWN 0:33:08

mastered and this also occurs at the school site level the next area to address is our gifted and talented education students and program or more commonly may be known as gate in our effort to accurately identify our gate students we begin Universal screening for all second grade students in 2015-2016 school year Universal screening means that everyone has the

UNKNOWN 0:33:41

opportunity to be assessed with permission the numbers on this slide illustrate our pre Universal screening data which was 2014-15 and then our progression which shows an overall increase the percentage and the true number are both increasing the number is important because our goal is to be able to get to ten percent of our second grade students identified and as you can

UNKNOWN 0:34:08

see we've met this goal the next area is our broad course of study for elementary and secondary and again as you can see we have met our desired outcome for a broad course of study which essentially means that all Chino Valley Unified students have access to and take the required courses adopted by our school district over and beyond the broad

UNKNOWN 0:34:35

course of study we also provide music instruction starting at the second grade level and we supplement district music operations we currently have 12 elementary music teachers to serve grades two through six across our district over the last four years the music program expanded to include Orchestra programs at six of our elementary schools during this school year 2018-19 we've also been able to

UNKNOWN 0:56:32

district officials my name is Steven Hoffman my four children have been enrolled in Chino Valley Unified School District Schools for the last 22 years our family has been in Chino Hills High School continuously for the last 13 years and it will be 14 years when our youngest graduates next year my children have been involved in performing arts

UNKNOWN 0:56:50

programs continuously since elementary school one thing that has been constant for our family has been fundraising for extracurricular activities we've been we've been heavily involved with ingo at channel high school since 2008 thing was a win-win opportunity is an excellent way for our senior citizens to socialize and be entertained trust me when I say those patrons wait all week for their

UNKNOWN 0:57:14

opportunity to be there for that day many of them are so anxious to play that they show up over an hour before it starts they're friendly and thankful to the students for setting up for what many is the brightest spot in their week they play sometimes win but always know that any money lost goes straight to the

UNKNOWN 0:57:31

kids with virtually no management overhead they know they are getting it is amazing way for students to learn community service they know they are setting up for their patrons who will enjoy that day so much the intergenerational interaction is special and rare the students also win the amazing part is that us fundraising opportunity benefits both athletic and

UNKNOWN 0:57:51

non-athletic organizations this is unique because stereotypically there's a divide between these groups it really helps to encourage student body unity our experience is that bingo has always been the most efficient way to raise money for the kids all it takes us some hard work it's a great lesson for the kids they receive funds when they work if they choose not to work that's okay

UNKNOWN 0:58:12

they don't get any funds if they work more they get more funds for a particular sport or Club it's that simple I was informed this morning via email by a Miss Hernandez player that she was not for the permanent ending of bingo program but merely a suspension until all issues are resolved with the board I really hope that this is the worst case

UNKNOWN 0:58:30

scenario because it's my understanding that unless any other vote is taken the program would sunset by this month period if it is a suspension then for how long what mechanisms are in place to make sure the program will be able to start again if there are concerns on the board about finances then work those concerns up and put any

UNKNOWN 0:58:50

guidelines or policies in place to address those concerns I could understand the suspension if the board was not getting any cooperation I understand that many questions of issues have already been addressed it shows me the Boosters will get resolved and they're not trying to stonewall the school board but this is the case please cancel the suspension and continue to

UNKNOWN 0:59:08

work with the booster till it gets resolved I fear that eight suspensions can be linked in and turned into a de facto shutdown let's not punish the community while you're crossing the T's and dotting the eyes thank you for your consideration Thank You dawn Tricia Kali followed by Lima Houston my name is dawn sathya when i currently serving as a

Parker auditor and

UNKNOWN 0:59:58

mrs. Brenda's our principal we collectively reviewed the improvement plan and discussed and agreed on amendments unfortunately those amendments were never recorded by the school district the school district thought the auditor made the updates and then therefore miscommunication happened all the way around nevertheless mr. Park used the original improvement plan to provide a progress report the progress report main general boosters look like

UNKNOWN 1:00:22

we were not in compliant and therefore resulted the board to see suspended based on not adhering to the improvement plan on Friday March 12 2019 we requested a meeting with the district to discuss the improvement plan again the school district apologized and stated that they dropped the ball mr. Park mentioned in his progress report the following which was not highlighted in

UNKNOWN 1:00:45

the meeting last September March 7th quote the general booster is transparent organized and keeps detailed record which was easy to follow the other quote he mentioned was this was sort of a revelation for me when I put all this together but it looks like you don't really make hundreds of thousands of dollars that the perception is of your what be made

UNKNOWN 1:01:08

overall another quote he said we did not encounter any problems or discrepancies during our tracing of cash and credit card deposits to corresponding monthly bank statements the general booster sends detailed financial reports to the school site administration every quarter and the school district receives our financial report semi-annually as required in the booster guidelines our goal of the Chino Hills High School

by the district's auditor as roughly 73 percent of our gross income as a nonprofit our tax return is public anyone interested could see that our gross income was 1.2 million dollars last year but please keep in mind that is gross income subtract that seven to the seventy three percent of winner payouts and you get a much smaller

number the audit report can be quoted as showing general boosters only got one hundred and sixty two thousand in a six month period the general boosters largest expense after payouts is charitable contributions this is the amount of money that we donate back to Chino Hills High School to date we have donated over ninety nine thousand dollars this school year to programs and

UNKNOWN 1:07:49

success and growth in order for our children to maintain or our program to maintain the standard of excellence that we have provided the chena most music program requires listen closely over a quarter of a million dollars to run annually last year it was 296 thousand dollars for our children to perform for the year that money is raised primarily and

UNKNOWN 1:08:13

almost completely by the generous donations of our 160 roughly families through the years we have been forced to think far outside of the box to come up with approved ways in which we can fundraise we are no longer allowed to ask for payments and we can no longer mandate fees we appreciate and we and we require a me and every dime that

UNKNOWN 1:08:34

we were able to raise and fundraise in support of our children program general boosters and bingo have played a large part in the success and the continued growth of the music program at Chino Hills and many other programs on campus during the 2017-18 year music boosters received over forty thousand dollars in donations from general boosters and bingo this year so far already at

UNKNOWN 1:08:54

UNKNOWN 1:10:15

donation amount needed to run drumline affordable for parents like me who don't have the extra means to do that so without bingo my son would not be in drumline thank you Stan Stewart followed by Keith Parks followed by Jane Jones sorry I didn't hear my name out there Thank You president now and board I am Stan Stewart I'm the girls basketball

UNKNOWN 1:10:57

coach at Chino Hills I've been there for 10 years now I'm gonna echo much of what was said already so please indulge me I've been at the school now for 10 years both of my daughters have gone through the program and are now holding degrees and in the working world and out of the house in the in the ten years I've been

UNKNOWN 1:11:28

there bingo the general board they have produced or provided for us at least $60,000 I was doing today a a budget looking back over what our expenses were for this year I don't know if many of you understand what the operating costs of a program is girls basketball I oversee all three programs okay so I have Farsi JB and frost so our

UNKNOWN 1:11:57

operating expenses to date or nine thousand nine hundred dollars trying to raise that it's extremely hard having bingo as a a lever to do that as a coach understand something I am NOT an in-school kept coach I'm off campus I'm in the working world okay I've got a ten-hour day job so I go that gym in the

UNKNOWN 1:12:27

evening till 8:30 at night this is one less thing for me to have to worry about in terms of time spent now the other part of this is uniforms this has nothing to do with uniforms we have to support our kids with uniforms every two years uniforms cost about 5500 to $6,000 okay so add that to the other $10,000 you can

UNKNOWN 1:12:55

see where it adds up you can't keep going back to the well Paran get tired of kids coming home saying mom I've got to do a dad I've got to do another fundraiser can you call grandma grandpa can we go out and sell cards you know it gets old so it's really hard you know when I first started three three years in I

UNKNOWN 1:13:19

went to junior boosters because I had no opportunity to raise money for uniforms they provided that for me and if they didn't we'd have been in big trouble so aside from the community aspect of what you providing for these people to attend the thing goes I think you're making a grave mistake here I'm gonna say that from being in the trenches thank you

UNKNOWN 1:13:42

thank you Keith parks pod by Jane Jones fund by Susan Kirby hello my name is Keith parks most my points here have been covered by other people but just a little other things that may have been said yet the amount of support that the parents give the kids that go through the school there's basically enough money to buy their first car that's how

UNKNOWN 1:14:10

much the used car would have even that's a lot of money if you have two or three students going through it it's a lot of money for the parents of collective so any of these extra money we can get and these extra fun ladies can do is just great support from everybody but this program has been in place for 10 or 15

UNKNOWN 1:14:26

years now and now after one audit it hasn't been noticing after one audit it's trying to be cancelled if you cancel or suspend this it's gonna be very hard for us to build this program back up for fundraising level that's at right now so I asked you not to do that the audit apart from I understand has no

UNKNOWN 1:14:45

gross negligence and improvements have been made and they need to continue to be made we understand that we will do that at the very minimum I'd ask for one minute a one-year a lot of these changes to take place know for us to make additional changes if needed if it comes back and says we need any more will do

UNKNOWN 1:15:01

more changes but give us that time don't give us 30 days or 45 days or to April 1st it's just not enough time for us to save this program that way and lastly I'll just ask if you're going to suspend this fund raising up - knees I think will be fair that the board commits to pay us the money that

UNKNOWN 1:15:20

we're going to meet look we're gonna miss for the year you find a way to get out of your budget and give it to us why we go through this process thank you Thank You Joyce Jones followed by Susan Kirby laud by joy Tyson in their first about 16 years since my husband passed away some of my girlfriends thought it

Cruz for coming out last

UNKNOWN 1:26:04

Thursday of the meeting at the school mr. Schaefer for having coffee with us on Tuesday and his gang yay for welcoming us to your Clubhouse on Saturday for coffee to listen to our concerns and our proposed solutions for the situation that we find ourselves in all our conversations were very fact-based fact the school is at capacity ripping at the seams has been

UNKNOWN 1:26:29

like that for some time now our neighborhood is continuously growing and homes are being built at a rapid rate and that's been going on for a long time yet we're only 30 percent build-out fact the district has been well aware of the rising situation for years now and yet nothing has been done about our current situation fact a big fact the district

UNKNOWN 1:26:54

has lobbied for measure G boaters boats with the promise of a second preserve school will be built years have gone by no school no plans and busting our overflow to Ontario is the only solution that's been proposed we need to make the second school a priority we need short-term solutions to fit the situation that we shouldn't be in to

UNKNOWN 1:27:18

begin with possible solution is adding more portables until the school is built although that's not the dream scenario it's the best solution for the Sinagra that we find ourselves in as keeping our children of the preserve at their home school is the number one priority and concern for us or if we must be bust or bust our children busting them busting

UNKNOWN 1:27:43

our kids to a much closer school such as Butterfield of chaparral for example is one there's a little bit more ideal than sending them all the way across to Ontario which is not acceptable by any means to anybody in the preserve our community was built so that families can have a home the home school where they can walk and go to school with their

UNKNOWN 1:28:03

friends I think that they grow up with that's what makes it preserve the gym that it is and gentlemen it's a small-town feel where everybody knows each other and most of that is due to the relationships built at caldera Preserve Academy and I respectfully ask that the board do the right thing for these kids students families and whatever short term

UNKNOWN 1:28:29

solution is chosen it must and I emphasize it must include the second calvero school on the horizon thank you for your time thank you Hayley and Lisa Fraga followed by April hi my name is Kaylee Fraga I'm 10 years old and I have lived in to preserve all my life I would like to tell you how this situation affects my me personally

UNKNOWN 1:29:07

my dream when I grow up is to be a singer and actress and in sixth grade I hope to go to a performing arts school and I'm afraid to go now at this point because what if I don't like performing arts school if I want to come back as you know teller who psychopathy I don't think it's fair to bus kids two hours a

UNKNOWN 1:29:35

day to material in my personal opinion I think that we should know the second school so we so they could be bused to ignore closer school like my dad said it's not fair for the kids in our community whatever the district has to do to keep all the kids in the same community that's what we have to do

UNKNOWN 1:30:02

because it's the good thing to do I appreciate your time now you gave me the same evening thank you thank you good evening everyone my name is April ranan and I have listened to preserve for about nine years I'm here to speak as a mother and as a teacher what attracted me to the preserve was the school even before I got married and had

my own kids I already knew I wanted to live there because of the school um I was able to tour the school before it was even built I mean well not before I was built before it was even opened in the process of it being built and I thought to myself wow this is where I want my kids to grow up

UNKNOWN 1:30:53

if I ever had them at that time so here they are now I currently have this one at the school and I have a two-year-old at home I have been an elementary teacher for over 12 years right next door at Ontario Montclair I know what it's like to work in a classroom that has been maxed out I know what it's like

to work out title in school I know what it's like to not have parents apart and I know what it's like to have parent support right here I could have chosen to take my own child to the school I teach at because I have awesome teachers there but I chose Cal Aero because of the community we live in

UNKNOWN 1:31:29

my daughter practically grew up knowing all our neighbors they are not strangers to her their family I can't imagine my youngest not being able to attend Cal Aero on our way here I asked my oldest one here how she would feel if her little sister didn't go to the same school as her her response was I go

UNKNOWN 1:31:48

crazy and I wasn't expecting that response I thought she was gonna say sad but she said she's my little sister why would she go to a different school I chose our neighborhood I chose our community I chose her school because deep down this is where I want my kids to flourish and grow not at my school as

UNKNOWN 1:32:06

much as I love the school I work at but it's the people that I live with here and around please reconsider your boundary changes and in building preserve - sooner than later for the sake of our community our families future students and little sisters and brothers who have been dreaming of someday going to Cal aro just like my

UNKNOWN 1:32:25

two year old who has been dreaming of this since she started seeing her sister go to school two years ago thank you cat-boy good evening good evening president Nam members the board I'm Pat annoy I represent Lois plan communities with me tonight is Randall Lewis also Bryan Goodman of the Lewis organization so this is a real important issue before

UNKNOWN 1:32:55

you tonight and just over the last month you've heard from many residents community members about this issue we're here we represent not only those families but the families to come and the students to come in the areas that are still to be developed in the preserve I personally attended many of the meetings where Greg made presentations the community in listened to what the

UNKNOWN 1:33:20

residents had to say and the questions were raised some things stood out to me the preserve residents they loved Cal Aero reserve Academy so the school many of the folks in this room made it the great place to be so thank you and the families the community that's really the heart of the community so it stands out

UNKNOWN 1:33:40

they love their school they're involved and engaged they care and they're concerned for their children and the kids as we all are but the big concern is I see is just the uncertainty about the proposal and we understand the boundary change issue is before you tonight but it seems just the big issue is really what's happening in the future

UNKNOWN 1:34:01

the second school there's uncertainty there's doubt there's distrust nobody can tell somebody how long this temporary situation will last so we understand that the district has declining enrollment and that impacts the district but the preserve is also one of the big growing areas in the city of Chino and in the districts area so it's a difficult issue before you

UNKNOWN 1:34:27

measure G when that was proposed to vote part of the sales point to the community was for them to vote on that measure and which was approved was the building of the second school that was a key sales point Louis companies we also pay substantial property just we have income property so we're invested in those well we're paying

UNKNOWN 1:34:50

those taxes so it seems to us a key thing now the lady earlier came up and she said that there's a problem fix it we see it the second school making that a priority hiring the architect there's money available so we think there's an opportunity for the district to eliminate some of the uncertainty the doubt the mistrust and and just we

UNKNOWN 1:35:13

request we respectfully ask the district and the board to just consider this about hiring the architect for the second school directing the staff the superintendent to make that a priority set a timeline of funding plan Louis owns the property we we stand committed to work with the district to make that happen to figure out ways to make things

UNKNOWN 1:35:34

more economical make it efficient make things happen at the same time make it more expedient so thank you for listening to us tonight [Applause] we are we're going to hear from dr. Anfield tonight there is a action item regarding the approval of a proposed temporary boundary change and I want to try to clear up some I think confusion

UNKNOWN 1:36:15

first off the Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Education along with staff and myself have never said that we were going to delay our not build a second school in the preserve when the land becomes available to purchase the district will move forward with the purchasing of the property for the second school currently we're waiting for the California Department of

UNKNOWN 1:36:38

Education to approve that site and once it's approved will purchase the land when the lands available now for the action item before the board tonight on the proposed boundary change a yes vote on this item allows the current residents who have children at Cal arrow and their siblings who are not old enough to attend Cal arrow to be

UNKNOWN 1:37:02

grandfathered into Cal arrow when their children enter kindergarten this would give them preference over a resident who moves into the preserve in the future it would also reduce the current boundary of Cal arrow and would define a new boundary for the second school in the preserve a no vote on this item would mean staying status quo no change to the

UNKNOWN 1:37:27

Cal arrow boundary and follow the regular process of overflowing students when the school reaches its capacity I believe changing the boundaries is the right thing to do but board member board members it's your decision to make tonight you may have a motion so moved by Miss Blair seconded by mr. Schaefer any comments and discussions yeah I just

UNKNOWN 1:38:01

want to make some initial comments so I've had the opportunity to speak with many community members and that's my number one concern as members of our community obviously there are a variety of stakeholders involved in this that you and a lot of things happening behind the scenes that I think community members may or may not be privy to but again I'm

UNKNOWN 1:38:22

most concerned with our community members not the politics or the mechanics of some of the things that are happening I do want to be clear about one thing though this is just I want to get this fact out there because I do think it's causing a lot of uncertainty and one thing that always troubles me with a lot of the issues that could

UNKNOWN 1:38:38

dealt with locally politically is that if there ever is misinformation about something people tend to get very upset warranted tend to get upset and then we find out well there that fact was not wrong or maybe something represented and my goal is to make sure that and whatever decision this board makes we are looking at the facts we're also

UNKNOWN 1:38:57

listening to the people that are going to be impacted by the decision I do want to reiterate something dr. Enfield shared which is when voters approve measure G there are funds set aside to purchase the land for the second school that money has not moved it hasn't been shifted it's not in the ether it's being used to purchase the land for the second

UNKNOWN 1:39:16

school we are in the process of getting state approval to do that so the wheels are in motion I appreciate that some people will probably view these wheels it's moving quite slowly and not in quite the fashion that they'd like those wheels to move but I do want to be clear that that that money that voters approved I proved

UNKNOWN 1:39:35

as well on the Jim wasn't she no I now live in Chino Hills when mr. G was passed that money is there to build the second school it has not moved it is there so I just want to make that clear because I do see some messaging in the audience and I've gotten a lot of questions about what happened to those

UNKNOWN 1:39:49

funds so I do want to make that clear and the reason I want to make that clear is I also would feel uncertainty if I thought I had voted on something and funds had been set aside and all of a sudden I was told it wasn't gonna happen so I definitely I definitely appreciate that we definitely have some challenges

UNKNOWN 1:40:09

with these boundary changes I appreciate that I think one of the challenges I face as a board member is you know I still think there's some open questions I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of community members they have questions and I'm not yet in a position to answer and as a board member if I'm

UNKNOWN 1:40:24

not in the position to answer and effectively with our community members you know I can't make an educated decision and I can't make a fair decision that will benefit not only those who live in the preserve but other people in our community that we impacted so my request this evening before I make any other comments just so it sort of clear we're

UNKNOWN 1:40:42

going with all of this beyond clarifying the whole financing detail is I don't feel I'm yet in a position where I can take a vote on this and so one request I'm going to make after allowing my fellow board members to have an opportunity to voice their opinion which again no one has had the opportunity to do that is to table this

UNKNOWN 1:41:00

for right now because I don't think that we have some questions answered and I'd like to get some answers to those questions this is Blair dr. infield I know you provided us with an update are you able to share any of what the update was with the public when the meeting with Lois Lee just that we've met

UNKNOWN 1:41:29

because there's I think that's the concern is that parents believe that there is no communication but there has been yes there has been a meeting with Louis and we're still in meetings and conversations and we'll continue to meet with it okay and I think that that's important a lot of the messages that I received in the emails were requesting

UNKNOWN 1:41:55

that the district returned to discussions with the developer and that has occurred and so I want to put that out there in addition for the two newest board members it is a bit difficult to come in to something that they really didn't have input in regarding measure G and the outline of projects and it's easy to request that one thing become a

UNKNOWN 1:42:25

priority over something else because if we do that there will be another group of community members here saying but wait you worked on a plan of how to spend the money and I'd encourage you to go on to the district website the measure G powerpoints are on there we as a board spent a lot of time detailing how the

UNKNOWN 1:42:51

bonds would be spent as the money came in the second school is on that list but again I I just would encourage you as a parent in this school district where the child's still here is that what you don't want is to make it seem as though you could care less about the other items and the other school sites that

UNKNOWN 1:43:13

are on the list we worked a lot on that priority list or at least how the money was going to be spent and so I know you're not saying make us a priority and forget everyone else I know that that's not what you're saying but that is what is out there and so just know that there are things that are happening and no one

UNKNOWN 1:43:37

has forgotten that measure G includes the second school and yes are you in need absolutely there was a discussion I had with the parent about portables but several years ago there were parents opposed to two more portables I that discussion needs to be had if it's a possibility and and we're open to that then let's do that on a temporary basis

UNKNOWN 1:44:00

but there are discussions and it is important to all of us but yes there are two board members here who unfortunately weren't here from the start regarding how the bond money was going to be spent and maybe we need a board study session dr. infilled and and so we could get the the plan out there again and include our

UNKNOWN 1:44:27

two new board members mr. Schaeffer thank you I had the opportunity to speak with several members of the preserve community and I hear your concerns and I feel your frustration I think it's important that we remember it's easy to kind of combine all of these issues but there are three separate issues that I kind of see is the boundary change the temporary

UNKNOWN 1:44:54

boundary change one is the overcrowding issue at Cal arrow and the third would be the second school in the preserve and although they're all intertwined they're all on very separate time schedules and timetables and so we need to address them as individual issues but we need to make sure and I agree that maybe a study session would be the best thing because

UNKNOWN 1:45:15

we do need to make sure that we have an in goal in sight so that when we put these temporary solutions in place whether it's more portables or a temporary boundary change that they are temporary and that we do have an end goal in sight and that that's only fair to the folks that live there now and

UNKNOWN 1:45:30

it's only fair to the folks that are considering moving there as the development comes forward so again I hear your concerns and I can't change what was said and done in the past I was not part of that conversation but I'm committed to being part of the solution moving forward so with that I'll yield my time back mr. Cruz yes so you know

UNKNOWN 1:45:53

what is our concern that our concern is the best interest of our kids very simple is that we know in the future you're gonna have new kids coming and we know that it's wrong to separate kids from their friends obviously so we also know that the school is overcrowded it's in your around school so it makes perfect sense common sense to build

UNKNOWN 1:46:11

another school a priority and at the same time overflowing common sense it's it's not good for kids nor the increase of busing which causes a safety issue so immediately you don't have to table anything you simply say no to this thing and like the gentleman stated you have bungalows in the area because this is very simple it's the best interest and

UNKNOWN 1:46:39

you focus on another school which measure G had a lot to do with it and it passed probably had a lot to do with the preserve so it's common sense you do what's right for kids simple as that everything else it doesn't matter I would like to make a comment now there are things that that we plan

UNKNOWN 1:47:11

sometimes a vacation sometimes holiday get-togethers sometimes taking kids to museums so those are all intact and well organized for me and I'm not only a nice person per se but I know that I go by my common sense if something is happening like roof leaks what is your vacation what is your holiday gatherings you'd fix a roof

UNKNOWN 1:47:41

first I'm feeling yes I'm offered building brand new Chino high school Reeb modernizing and make sure that all the children's are served and they're happy but this one talks about breaking up families saying no to new families moving into a great community Chino which is our school district and how could we say no to that we have to open

UNKNOWN 1:48:12

the open arms and put the project in priority list so make sure the kids will not be separated and these will get to known to other communities members so that they would understand what we sent for we stand for our children I stand for that little girl there what if she moved to another school and wants to come back and something didn't work

UNKNOWN 1:48:37

out that's a great fear for the little girl and we used to be a little too you know I used to be afraid when I broke my plate and I used to hide from my mom and this still haunts me now now it's not a big deal you could go to Walmart and get upset but as a little people there are

UNKNOWN 1:48:58

great things in their mind and without the kids this district office do not have to exist but we don't need teachers we don't need staff members but it's about kids if we'd said we really get out put this on prior to this number one because it's like roof roof leaking and what comes better after years from now that we did the right thing now what

UNKNOWN 1:49:25

the book says not what TV says fake news no more we're about our community we're gonna protect our kids and loved our children ninety nine just as what we say about what we do it okay so I would support this moving this project forward in priority list thank you mister Gagne so at this point I'm just gonna sum up

UNKNOWN 1:50:00

what I'm gonna say it's been the conversation and then sort of make a point that I think is obvious which is I have a feeling that the proposal as it stands now is not going to pass maybe I'm wrong I'm just gonna go on and limb here at the disagree though that we don't need to even if we say no tonight

UNKNOWN 1:50:16

we do need a plan the school is overcrowded so we can't just sit around and say we're keeping everybody together and then not address the overcrowding problem let's say that the school becomes a priority it's still going to take two or three years to build a school so we still have to have a conversation about this so I am

UNKNOWN 1:50:33

uncomfortable with voting no and then just saying well that the whole thing's gonna resolve itself it's not we just had parents up here saying it hasn't resolved itself so I do want to make the point that if we are gonna say no I endorsed this having a study session talking about the priorities talking about the bond money because we

UNKNOWN 1:50:51

aren't operating in a vacuum but also we have other issues we do need to address and we do need a temporary solution and I feel like everybody in this conversation has been reasonable when I've had conversations with parents they've been reasonable conversations everyone's admitted to some extent there needs to be a temporary solution because there is a pervasive problem so what I

UNKNOWN 1:51:12

would endorse is that if we are going to not pass this tonight we then immediately take some action to come up with a temporary solution discuss that solution as a community and we'll all agree that there has be some temporary solution before the new academic year the only solution is you you put more bungalows that's it and

UNKNOWN 1:51:40

you fix it actually miss a lot of the points that I wanted to talk about regardless of what happens with this action item tonight it's important that we start the conversation to figure out what we can do in the short term and I do say short term because it needs to be a temporary fix I don't think anybody

UNKNOWN 1:52:05

wants to see a bunch of additional portables out there for years and years and years but I think it may be a palatable solution for a lot if there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there's movement forward and progress being made to alleviate the overcrowding in a reasonable time mr. Cruz yeah the solution is the priority is the second

UNKNOWN 1:52:34

school and then you proceed with del BLC and you devise a plan that's it I just like to think that the parents and and your desire and your hearts and we can see that that our district is listening yeah and quite clearly and our partners whose home are listening to so I believe we'll come up with a solution that is

UNKNOWN 1:53:09

that is good for our kids and one that is temporary and one in long term but in a very short time so I would also agree to have a session if dr. Anfield see that is appropriate for time schedule yes I'd like to make a motion to table this item okay I second that item I always send my motion it seems

UNKNOWN 1:53:58

like my colleagues might have some comments I just want to make sure that if we table this that if we decide that it's part of a short-term solution down the road that we can bring it back at that point that it's that we're not big because it may very well be part of a short-term solution we won't know until

UNKNOWN 1:54:18

we start talking about it looking at it and so I don't want to completely throw it off the table if it's a important piece of a short-term solution so as long as we can bring this back at a later time but I'm playing with the motion table yeah you're able to bring it back then I'll renew my motion to

UNKNOWN 1:54:38

table all those in favor say aye aye opposed no for one item to be one resolution 2018 2019 - 35 notice of layoffs of certain classified staff pursuant to education code four five one one seven and four five two nine eight recommend the Board of Education adopt resolution 2018 2019 - thirty five notice of layoffs of certain classified

UNKNOWN 1:57:30

Cheryl Manor karen hasit James Lonni good evening board my name is james lani and i'm here to discuss the concerns regarding chino hills' hi bingo I've watched the school board meeting last time you held it and I was appalled by the lack of knowledge misinformation and flat-out lies that were in understanding how this premier fundraising activity operates excuse me not here to dwell on

UNKNOWN 1:58:23

that meeting and I understand that information has been provided after that meeting that is not just to the auditor but also to the board members directly excuse me my voice I've been involved in chino hills' hi bingo for four years and during that time I've come to have respect for not only the professionalism on how bingo is run but also the

UNKNOWN 1:58:51

dedication and integrity of the individuals that read it I'm here to speak however as a parent my daughter coming from Townsend went into Chino Hills High bingo in the color guard program and the color guard program had a big jump in cost to be involved in that that's how I got involved is by volunteering for bingo based on my

UNKNOWN 1:59:20

involvement it made colorguard affordable for all for years I had very outlay out of my own pocket she got to perform and win at various schools all over the state color guard is one small example all the various sports and activities that Jenelle's high bingo supports would all lose that funding could other fundraising activities take its place not to the extent that bingo

UNKNOWN 1:59:48

consistently supports weekend and week out when my daughter was in color guard she has since graduated but competitions were help were put on the calendar that ultimately had to be cancelled why because too many parents took advantage of the fact that payment is optional and they could not be excluded for lack of payment ultimately there wasn't enough

UNKNOWN 2:00:14

funds for the kids to perform like they expected if you kill bingo you will drive a knife not through bingo but through the heart of every one of the many sports and activities that bingo has supported for 16 years I mentioned earlier my daughter graduated I'm still involved with bingo I have no other children involved at Chino Hills High but I'm still involved

UNKNOWN 2:00:41

because of the dedication and integrity of the individuals that are involved on behalf of the parents I implore the board to allow bingo to run undisturbed while the final information that the board seeks is understood Thank You Heather Keenan Teahen Heather keihan Cynthia dickerson good evening my name is Cynthia dickerson and I'm the parent of a senior

UNKNOWN 2:01:21

at Chino Hills High as well as three husky alumni and I'm speaking to urge you to continue the bingo program without interruption I've read the article in the champion and I viewed the minutes from the last board meeting and the concerns that have been raised are unfounded and have no substance bingo has complied with all the requirements and restrictions the board

UNKNOWN 2:01:38

has given them and the activities of their dedicated volunteers are above reproach the auditor has already stated that the financial records are transparent and well organized bingo doesn't need to be suspended in order for the audit to be completed businesses have audits all the time and they don't shut down the auditor just needs to give it some undivided attention suspending

UNKNOWN 2:01:58

bingo on April 1st would have a far-reaching impact on the students at unify our programs budget for the full academic year assuming that bingo money will continue to be available there are events and activities across a variety of programs that may have to be canceled if the games are shut down including grad night and the senior trip not only

UNKNOWN 2:02:15

that but shutting down over the summer would eat into next year's budgets and make it more difficult to plan our programs as others before me this evening have said bingo money benefits students across our campus in a variety of ways from established programs like music and athletics to supplies for the school nurses office to prom tickets and

UNKNOWN 2:02:33

graduation gowns for homeless students and so much more our bingo players our loyal community members who love our students and want to help our school there are other places that they could play bingo but they choose to spend their money to help our students a number of our bingo players came here to support us tonight and I'm sure that if

UNKNOWN 2:02:49

you ask any one of them you'll see that they should they share our Husky pride the bingo Pro program is a successful fundraiser that is supported by a large and diverse group of dedicated parent volunteers it's not just helping a select few it's money benefits our entire student body in a variety of important ways it gives all students an opportunity part

UNKNOWN 2:03:08

to participate in our activities not just those who can afford it please reconsider your decision to suspend to suspend bingo on April 1st and don't suspend it over this summer either the school needs bingo and once it's suspended it will be much harder to get up and get it up and running again do your due diligence and you'll see that

UNKNOWN 2:03:25

the program is exemplary and something that the district can be prouder thank you Tony Montana hi good evening I'm Tony Montanez I work at alternative ed in at the alternative Education Center and so I know there's been there's been a lot of people speaking about things that are very very close to their hearts and with with good reason

UNKNOWN 2:04:09

because it's their children their community and so I just wanted to express our appreciation for the district support and the board support for the alternative education center and because all of us are happy to work there because our campus is a calm alternative for students who who need it and some are we we have like the little

UNKNOWN 2:04:41

nickname for our campus we call it the campus of hope so we're we're a bit concerned about the new charter school sharing some of our space because one of our colleagues came from a campus who her campus was taken over by a charter school so we don't want that to happen our program works because we have increased in numbers I believe we're up

UNKNOWN 2:05:18

to 470 right now so we're not insignificant so I hope that we can continue to count on your support to keep our campus and I know that there are many factors when making decisions with concerning facilities and charter schools but we serve students who need a campus like ours and a few weeks ago I met with two students who have had

UNKNOWN 2:05:56

experience some anxiety with on their campuses and so it just it just confirms that they they need a place like ours and so if we if our campus saves one one ones students from from a terrible situation I think it pays for itself so in if if it comes up to make a decision about our campus we hope that we can

UNKNOWN 2:06:27

continue to count on your support thank you very much P an Misawa TN Misawa Elisabeth Kira curieux good evening my name is Elizabeth Curtis and my daughter attends Chino Hills High School and as part of the marching Regiment concert band jazz band the bingo program for me has been an amazing way for me to raise funds for her for her fair share account

UNKNOWN 2:07:11

including recently helping to fund her trip to San Francisco with the Jazz Band which she's really looking forward to and I would like to open up to you why bingo is so important to me I'm a single parent and I live paycheck to paycheck but being able to volunteer my time to help her and the band program is

UNKNOWN 2:07:33

something I'm extremely grateful for with bingo alone this year I've been able to raise over $800 for her fair share account and if bingo is suspended I really it kind of stresses you know cuz I'm not sure how I'll be able to get funds I understand band is you know you don't have to pay to participate but our

UNKNOWN 2:07:56

programs cost a lot of money to fund and I can't imagine having to tell our kids who work so hard that you can't go to the concert you can't go to this competition that you've worked all season for because we don't have the funds to allow you to go to these things our boosters work really hard to fund our programs so

UNKNOWN 2:08:17

that all kids can't participate and additionally bingo has been a great way for parents like me to fundraise for our kids without having to get a part-time job or a second job which then takes away time for our children our children additionally I just wanted to say that I've been honored to call many of the being role players my newfound friends

UNKNOWN 2:08:41

the volunteers that I work with have become like family I look forward to seeing those on the basketball on the swim team connecting with all these parents all of them love volunteering for their kids for their program there's so much heart at this high school and all programs across the board and I would just like to implore the board

UNKNOWN 2:09:02

that while you do your investigations your concerns that you please don't suspend the bingo program during this time if I look at it my daughter's planning to do band through her senior year she's a freshman so I'm looking at about $6,000 towards her fair share over the next three years and bingo is definitely going to help me to meet that

UNKNOWN 2:09:26

need so I would implore it implore the board to really consider not suspending it during this time thank you very much Michael Young good evening everyone my name is Michael Young I'm a parent of three my son has graduated 2010 I've got a senior and a junior and the general boosters at Chino Hills High School is is much more than a

UNKNOWN 2:09:59

bingo program however without the bingo program it wouldn't be able to do the many things that it does they provide funds for academics athletics activities and what you've heard from countless others before me is that they really set the culture of the school they allow forum for parents from all of these different clubs activities athletics academics to come together and

UNKNOWN 2:10:25

support each other get to know each other help fundraise we all understand the I guess the challenges of being a public school and trying to do all of the wonderful award-winning programs that we do at Chino Hills High School I have two daughters who are on the spirit leader program which is a hundred and twenty thousand dollar up program and

UNKNOWN 2:10:49

it's a year-long program they do competitions there at every game cheering on things they do rallies and they've loved it they it's you know an integral part of their high school years bingo provides a well I mean the general boosters provides prom dresses grad night tickets and other fees for students who otherwise would not have access they provide scholarships for

UNKNOWN 2:11:14

students looking for continuing education the list is endless and we've got a world champion drumline a national champion band a national champion basketball team well state champion the basketball team award winning spirit leaders a national champion dance team some of the top academics and the the support of general boosters goes for aquatics baseball you name it they're able to support these programs

UNKNOWN 2:11:46

because of bingo bingo provides ten to twelve thousand dollars a year towards the spirit leader program depending on how many I guess assignments were given but it's also an integral part of the community it's one of the rare opportunities where multi-generational internet interaction is celebrated you've heard from some of our senior patrons but our parents serve and our kids see these wonderful people

UNKNOWN 2:12:13

leaving as their you know either celebrating their victory or saying hey well we donated a lot to you today but it's it's you know it is a an opportunity for them to come together I guess in conclusion without bingo the general boosters ability to support and impact the many student lives would be restrictive lis diminished and so we're

UNKNOWN 2:12:36

just asking for you know if there's a problem let's work together to find a solution but suspending a program and having all the people go away is going to be really hard to recover thank you Chris Stevens Chris Stevens great we're now add board member comments items presentation tonight and congratulations once again to the Chino Hills High

UNKNOWN 2:13:42

School boys basketball state championship a Division one team back to back I'm not gonna comment a much about what's going on down to preserve I think we had a pretty healthy debate or discussion on that already dr. M feel I would just like to see if we can't fast track a Governance session or a study session on

UNKNOWN 2:14:06

that so we can continue to get input and come up with some solutions for the short-term as far as the bingo I'm not going to discuss the actual program either because I don't think that's appropriate since it's going to be coming back before the board for a vote and so it's not appropriate to talk about the issues without having an only

UNKNOWN 2:14:28

agenda I will say though that I concur completely with everyone that the bingo and the general boosters by way of bingo does a fantastic job and there's no way to backfill that money but it's also important to make sure that everything is done in an appropriate and transparent manner and so I can't speak for the rest of the board but my actions

UNKNOWN 2:14:53

at the meeting to suspend the bingo was done to get the conversation started because we had stagnated on some of the recommendations that were in the audit report and it's important to get that information out so that the entire board has the opportunity to hear the information and receive all the information to make a decision so with

UNKNOWN 2:15:13

that being said dr. infield I'd like to request that that item come back at the April 4th meeting not a problem I was able to attend a anti cyber bullying presentation at Chino Hills High School was put on by assistant to district attorney from Riverside County she did a fantastic job of presenting all the aspects of bullying how it affects the

UNKNOWN 2:15:42

victims the state of mind for the most part of the bully themselves and then also the legal consequences and it was very well received by the students and so if there are any of our other junior high or even high schools that would like to look at the program I would encourage you to contact mr. Finkbeiner over at Canyon Hills

UNKNOWN 2:16:06

we had a bald Evo Commission meeting there's nothing to report out of that and as far as the chino hills' Parks and Recreation Committee our Commission we had a meeting last night and I will defer to vice mayor Bennett's thorough report earlier about all the happenings going on over in the city of Chino Hills so with that I'll conclude my comments

UNKNOWN 2:16:23

thanks for attending and have a great evening thank you mrs. Gagne thank you first I'd like to thank all the parents for attending this evening and it's 9:16 so I'll be brief I know you need to get home I've had the opportunity to keep visiting our wonderful schools I was able to visit at Dixon elementary as well as Buena Vista and Don Lugo

UNKNOWN 2:16:44

yesterday I was amazed at Donna Lugo high school just the progress with career pathways and career technical education they are really doing a lot to support our high school students and make sure that all students have Career Pathways upon graduation I also got to pet a goat in a dog so that was a pretty good trip in my book too to visit a high

UNKNOWN 2:17:05

school but in that view in terms of Career Pathways I'm also excited to announce that you know in my role working with the chamber I've been meeting with the executive director and we have some new programs that I'm gonna be collaborating with the chamber on including a mentorship program for students as well as Job Shadow so once

UNKNOWN 2:17:23

there's more information I'm really excited to to partner and work with the chamber on this because we have a wonderful leadership at the chamber wonderful members and I think just we just need to connect those members to our students to make sure our students have pathways to success so thank you and good night Thank You mr. Cruz very brief you know

UNKNOWN 2:17:46

our next board meeting will be after after April first and bingo will be suspended and you know the best interest of kids will be would at least have a special meeting next week and resend a suspension that'd be the best thing to do and then then talk about what we what we can do I mean that's that's common

UNKNOWN 2:18:06

sense Neels you just have to focus in the proper place but um I attended especially at dance and I tell you those those are amazing dances I really you got some great people there and fabulous time for everybody that the students and so forth you have Eubanks a teacher that supports all this miss Butler and her husband and the culinary teacher

UNKNOWN 2:18:33

fantastic people and then I attended the public safety Chamber of Commerce they order the men and women of local fire and police and Sheriff Department so it's great that they have been doing this for the past years so thank you thank you mrs. Blair I'm not going to say I'll be brief because I may not I I

UNKNOWN 2:18:58

want to begin by acknowledging the parent who spoke about his son and the threat that was made that kind of blew up in our community and I want to say that because you know Facebook is really good about reminding us of what transpired a year ago and a year ago there was a student who made a threat

UNKNOWN 2:19:23

towards his prior junior high school so when you started speaking I thought is it the same but then I remembered the situation but I say that to say that I think we've become oversensitive when certain things are shared for example earlier today and and for those parents that are here from Chino Hills High School mrs. Brenner sent out a message

UNKNOWN 2:19:54

indicating that the threat that had been reported ended up be having been sent out by a fake account using the student's name and I might my only reply to dr. Enfield was how bad I felt for that student whose morning was so frightening and but that's where we've gotten we as a board are presented with situations and screenshots that parents interpret

UNKNOWN 2:20:31

to be you know threats and and then I look at it and because I guess because I have a teenager I'm like that that that's not a threat those are lyrics to a song and I just think that yes we we want to ensure the safety of all of our students but to what extent the harm that was caused to the student today I

UNKNOWN 2:20:56

mean that is something that this student will hold for a long time you know being taken in by law enforcement confiscation of the phone all of that that occurs you know her her peers looking at this student as though they had committed a crime all of that and so I feel for you because that's the reality right now is

UNKNOWN 2:21:22

that oftentimes it it isn't what we assumed to be so I'm really sorry that you went through that I also want to acknowledge the the students and the parents who get up to speak especially those that cry because I'm going to tell you when I used to stand at that podium addressing this board I cried a lot

UNKNOWN 2:21:45

tonight as you say I think they keep onions over there because I was always crying that's the passion and and the concern that we have and you know sometimes out of frustration we just it just takes over and so I don't ever want any student or parent to feel bad because I think it's the podium that does that so just keep speaking your

UNKNOWN 2:22:09

mind to our regarding the situation at Chino Hills High School it's there are difficult decisions that we make I for one had been hearing about the concerns about bingo since last year and [Music] one of our prior board members kept requesting the improvement plan and and then a couple of meetings later we you know she was asking for an update and

UNKNOWN 2:22:45

and so it it isn't something that is just occurring in in 2019 so I want to clarify that is the fundraising invaluable absolutely we're not questioning the value or the validity and of course we appreciate the volunteers I countless hours and I attended bingo before this whole situation because I was invited by a booster member and I attended twice

UNKNOWN 2:23:14

neither time I found a seat because and I did report back because it does get crowded you you have an amazing turnout and then I really don't know how to play bingo so you know but the fact is that yes it's well attended and I think one of the days it was raining and even then it was packed and and I reported back

UNKNOWN 2:23:39

after have attending the first bingo and I said that there were a lot of seniors and how exciting you know excited they were to be there and to be participating so it's not as though I'm not familiar with how great of a program it is but there are concerns and I received several messages from parents on the

UNKNOWN 2:24:01

other side of the issue and what I would really encourage is for those of you that are part of the boosters that better communication needs to take place especially when parents request or ask questions about the funding and I'm not gonna read all of the emails and I'm not gonna read all of the messages I received but I am going to read just a

UNKNOWN 2:24:29

part of one of the emails because she indicates when I've asked questions of the general booster board members they have been condescending and downright rude and almost all of the emails and messages I received were to that nature and extend so I'm just saying there there are two sides to everything and then an you know as board

UNKNOWN 2:24:56

members were kind of in the middle just trying to figure out and just trying to stay focused on the audit results and the improvement plan and that's all we're dealing with but I'm just saying that it's important to bridge the gap between the parents on both sides of the spectrum on that campus because all students deserve that and so and if it

UNKNOWN 2:25:18

had just been one email I would have said it's just maybe one disgruntled parent but it wasn't just when and and there were several messages so I I'm just putting that out there you do with it what you want it's just a suggestion and I thought to take into consideration and I want to close by addressing mr.

UNKNOWN 2:25:43

Martinez and and our other teachers that are here from the alternative education center and you have a strong advocate here for the program none of us ever think that our child will need that smaller setting but I find myself having my son learn now partly doing virtual and partly attending chino hills' high school now so I it's an amazing program all of the

UNKNOWN 2:26:21

programs that you offer there I as a board member and I'm ashamed that I didn't know about the Virtual Academy and the possibilities of getting our students a quality education through that program so they attend Virtual Academy then they report to their neighborhood high school you know they can split up the periods they could do three and three four and two whatever it

UNKNOWN 2:26:50

is that the student needs and I think we need to promote that more I mean you're doing great along with dr. Carr getting four hundred and seventy students already but I think Anita's even greater than that because I have friends with children in the district to have anxiety who are struggling who are ditching why are they digging they don't want to be

UNKNOWN 2:27:12

on that large campus something is missing and I think there would be perfect candidates for the Virtual Academy or any of the other programs that you offer there so I want to thank you and and I want to acknowledge your your plea that we advocate for that campus and we are so just keep that in mind with that everyone have a good

UNKNOWN 2:27:34

night and for those that are off starting tomorrow enjoy your Spring Break I just want to clarify everybody is clear regarding the boosters so at the last board meeting the board approved the bingo to go until April 1st and so Sunday is March 31st and then April 1st is was the the motion that suspended at that time but tonight

UNKNOWN 2:28:07

mr. Schaefer asked for it to come back so it will be coming back on April 4th for the board to make a decision on what they want to do on the extending that the bingo so if it was approved at that case then there would not be any any need for a special board meaning that it would come back and bingo could continue

UNKNOWN 2:28:28

on the 7th that's a possibility so I don't think the board needs a special board meeting because again it will be coming back at April 4th I like to ask doctor and I feel see if we could meet up with that our parent there and listen to concern if there's any possibly that we could provide the wishes of those students or former

UNKNOWN 2:28:53

student I would support that so please meet up with them okay okay thank you I talked about the feelings the feelings when I walked into a bingo high school unfilter feelings at this time I like to have Kenya I don't know your last thing I'm sorry but sherry told me how great person you were dedicating all your life on that room to

UNKNOWN 2:29:29

serve fellow seniors so I'd like to have you stand up and let's give a great pause thank you for your dedication and service this is what we need so when we look at people we can look at millionaires and billionaires and all these hot stars and athletes but we want to find somebody that I can say when you

UNKNOWN 2:29:54

UNKNOWN 2:30:18

the lives are drama but because of that you shouldn't lose your health or sleep over that things will go on and then righteous will stand I believe personally as one speaker said it's a win-win situation I really love children since I was little I love I said I love animals and children and it hasn't changed so I know how much you guys benefit our

UNKNOWN 2:30:48

kids on that single day you have donated two thousand dollars to the wrestling program it was awesome but I also from my cultural background we really respect elders and seniors and you serve that population and we're what they call on that I say safe day time so I think you guys are providing a great venue for them at the same time serving our

UNKNOWN 2:31:18

students so when if you have a 5 kids you know family no one could agree that true everybody's different but your hearts count so I saw that heart I felt it and that's what that senior ladies has said they feel kindness being family meeting friends that's a great thing great program so thank you and I like to

UNKNOWN 2:31:46

have it's even growing even stronger there were some empty seats which was a great maybe five ten seats and I was able to just all see that it many times people say hey there's a new restaurant oh it's just such a great place but you get these and dad and at this price but until you go there you don't know and

UNKNOWN 2:32:09

but I have gone through your invitation so at this time I like to say thank you for all of your hard work and love your treasure report that was a great clear just awesome and and sometimes when people don't know they don't know but when you do the right thing you just continue on and and I'll be there for

UNKNOWN 2:32:34

you and as dr. Enfield said we'll bring this item back so it continued on thank you and I'd like to talk about preserve now preserve yes I see it as a roof leaking and it's right we do need to have a short-term solution but we'll bring out parents and we bring out all the stakeholders and we'll have that

UNKNOWN 2:33:08

discussion and we'll come up with ideas worst was over 18 years old adults and if we said every thoughts in well-being of our children we'll find some solution that is Georgia but long-term in a fast manner so that kids don't have to cry or or being in a fear no that's not cool as an adult we need to sacrifice for children

UNKNOWN 2:33:38

I like to say that and miss Ghani was perfect today about talking about the new high school such a great school and I'm so happy that she's visiting all these campuses because she observed the things that I have seen some in in the in the meetings somebody had said about some schools in Chino and we need to

UNKNOWN 2:34:12

have that pride back I like to see Chino high school being rebuilt as Troy school or better even in Seminole County and Donna Lugo high school we would have a strong the path programs and and maybe college credit courses were in and make it so good so that when people say tanu go they was here on the map when they

UNKNOWN 2:34:38

said you know high school they all see on the map as I preserve parents they wanted that preserved school it's gonna be like that so let's continue to have hope and trust and work together and lastly I like to thank Yvette Farley and I think she's not here but she has done a great job at our choral festival jazz
