to 5 in terms of our accomplishments with the attendance counts campaign Chino Valley Unified School District was designated four times for having a model school attendance review board this was done by the state for improved attendance as well as a decrease in our dropout rate district sites have requested 695 visits from the attendance home visit teams and the teams have made

482 home visits the school year in addition the attendance team has held 119 sard meetings to assist students with attendance foster youth we have a designated counselor to support these youth in a variety of capacities this counselor carries a caseload of 496 students 44 students have benefited from free tutoring services this year and there are currently ten seniors pursuing

higher education so it's really exciting through the multi-tiered systems of support for behavior and tssb twelve counselors have provided academic and behavioral counseling to 2919 students through a classroom pushin model the Tier one prevention services have become more fully implemented district-wide over the past two years which is resulted in a decrease in the overall at-risk students or elementary and our

junior high schools the k-12 counselors have begun to fine-tune these services to support students with more intensive behavioral needs so these supports include providing individual behavior supports developing systems of varied behavior interventions at the school site and then they're also beginning to align all of the district services 253 students needing more intensive supports were provided small group counseling behavior plans as well

as in-class support to assist the students who have been receiving the counseling services to generalize the skills into the classroom setting our high schools are in the pilot year of tier one of our positive behavior interventions and support our p bi p bi PBIS efforts and we are doing their first review this spring and we'll be looking at their implementation 20

district level trainings have been completed the school year and these trainings include evidence based practices composed of school-wide expectations and using data to support decision making and proactive community communication to build a positive school culture we're also really proud of our 25 schools that have been recognized for the implementation of PBIS which has increased a positive school

climate the safe school ambassadors program is implemented at all elementary junior high school k-8 and two high schools it's recommended by the California Board of California School Board Association and the CDE and if you look on their website it indicates that this program is promising in terms of practices to address school culture and student connectedness it aims at

teaching students to recognize and noticing bullying bullying at school and it mobilizes them to not just be bystanders professional development has been completed this year by the CI is team to assist the administration in utilizing other means of Correction and Lua suspension and expulsion so the next part of the presentation that Farley will finish sharing the highlights of

the action services and outcomes related to engaging our families continue with the actions and services to engage our families the family engagement Center hosted 107 parent academies and 37 staff trainings this school year 1189 parents attended trainings held by the center new this year was support for our school community liaisons on how to increase and support family engagement and parent

education at the school site elementary teacher professional development focused on providing parent education opportunities for parents to learn how to support their child at home in order to in order to succeed at school also new this year was PBS training to guide our appearance in understanding and supporting the program at their school site Carol sweat and Brenda Roya have

have been instrumental and have done an excellent and outstanding job in supporting parents and staff with the training necessary to develop the schools and tools needed to increase engagement and have a positive impact on student academic success 20 sites also employed bilingual clerks that assisted in the translations for meetings and communications there are three measurable outcomes to measure our

progress with schools with the state priority three in box one CV USD continues to support and involve parents in advisory bodies and training strategies by having each school site hold four or more schools like council meetings and four or more English Learner advisory committee meetings the district has held for district level English Learner advisory committee meetings and we anticipate that this

goal will be met as indicated by the thumbs up in box two to support building capacity in our parents 100% of our sites have held at minimum one to two parent workshops addressing academic and social/emotional learning the district has met this goal as indicated by the Thunder we are striving for growth and progress over time and so we share with

you perception data from our most current parent survey about parent and family involvement 82% of our parents agreed that families are informed about school sponsored activities 93% of our parents agreed that families are encouraged to attend school sponsored activities and 80% of our parents agreed that schools encourage families to volunteer 86% of our parents agreed that staff members and families treat each

other with respect this is based on a parent participation of 4859 that is an increase of 73 from last year the district has met this goal as indicated by the thumbs up Stephanie Johnson will now continue the presentation by reviewing the metrics for state priorities five and six in the area of student engagement with the state priority five there are four

metrics to measure progress of student engagement the district-wide attendance rate was ninety six point three four percent surpassing the state average the district met its goal as reflected in the thumbs up by staying ahead of the state average chronic absenteeism reflects the percent of students who were absent ten percent of the school year at any given point during the year

this is the first year chronic absenteeism has been reported on the dashboard six point one percent of students were reported as chronically absent the district met his goal again as reflected in the thumbs up by maintaining a rate lower than the state average middle school and high school dropouts reflect the percent of lost transfers and not students who no longer

attend school 2016-17 is the most current data that is available both middle and high schools have met the district's goal by keeping the dropout rates below the state's average county averages are available for dropout rates and we are below the county percentage as well to ensure we are doing everything we can to account for loss any loss transfers a dropout prevention

protocol has been developed and implemented and we continue to review with administrators and office staff continuing with go-to we will look at school climate state priority six there are two metrics to measure our progress of school climate we met our goal by staying under the state average for expulsion rates the point zero 3 percent expulsion rate also reflects a decrease

since the 1617 school year county averages are not available for expulsion rates in the area of suspensions we are also lower than the state and county averages Chino Valley Unified School District had a 1.7 percent suspension rate in the 2017-18 school year which also reflects a decrease compared to the 1617 school year we have met our goal

for suspension rates and this completes our annual update to the Board of Education do we have any questions mr. Cruz a lot of schools being recognized and you know and all that is resulting in and those positive changes that we're seeing with all that dropout rates all those meeting the increase in attendance rate increased ISM dropout on high

school all that is related to all that huh yes we're very fortunate in our district to have a great team of educators classified staff and district administrators who are committed and passionate about student success so it really took a large number of people to put their work and Johnson those took a lot of work those saw hearings and those

hormone visits those aren't simple things you put you've dedicated yourself in helping our children in our community so you know it's a it's a family that you know we are yes yeah and you know how do you progress monitor PBIS I'd be happy to talk about that under under the vision of dr. Anfield when he was a

beauty building school connectedness and visit building a positive school culture was very important and with that he had dr. Johnson really lead the effort and the PBIS implementation so I'd like for dr. Johnson Dubuque to talk about that [Music] in terms of the implementation at the school site level we have three times yearly what's called a tiered fidelity

inventory walk the first two are conducted purely by the school staff which consists of the teachers the admin it's their PBIS team that's looking at their system and looking at the indicators in the classrooms on the school campus and then once a year we have an external process a tiered fidelity inventory with an external reviewer which in our district we've

been fortunate because we have trained folks like myself that go in to assist the team and again the though that team even though there's an external reviewer is composed of again teachers sometimes classified individuals we had security officers part of part of that or other to other classified employees a nurse at one point was was also on the TFI walk

and then we're going through the each school and looking at indicators which then helps that school plan for actions that they need to take for the following year to improve their implementation of PBIS mr. Schaefer thank you first and foremost for the presentation and I have a couple of questions think it's on page four kind of related to the Mt SSB and

PBIS on the third point down the 253 elementary and junior high students were provided small group services when you say 44 percent exit rate and I apologize if you covered this I missed it what exactly is the exit rate that they just decided to leave the program did they finish the program no those are the students who at this point no I didn't mention

that this data was only through March 30th so my apologies for that but we're really you know as of March 30th 44 percent had met goals that were established for them at what we call our step meetings which then refer them to the small group goals are set and monitor progress monitored so obviously by the end of the school year there'll

be more students that will have exited okay after having met their goals and thank you for that and then jumping down to the last point of the positive the PBIS implementation for all k-12 schools is that complete implementation or some of them just implemented at tier 1 tier 2 2 or 3 we have schools at different levels because we did pilots so we we're

hoping by the end of hopefully the next 2 or 3 years all schools will be implemented and there are three tiers so this is quite a process and it it takes a lot of support and so it's going to be a bit before we get to full and put in implementation 2 to 3 we just say a

majority of our sites are at tier 1 oh they're all at tier 1 we have five schools that are implementing tier two another 13 schools that we will be beginning their pilot of tier 2 next school year and the following year the rest will come in to tier 2 tier 3 is much more complicated and clinical in

nature so we're going to be moving a little slowly to make sure we get the services in place and the fidelity of implementation there ok thank you for that page six question reference our school quality survey results it looks like we had 48:59 in the there's a number of respondents yes I'm guesstimating this may be roughly 15% of our parents or

guardians in the district what what are we doing - and I know it's a great increase over the year before the price the previous years cuz I'm gonna knock in the number but I just want to make sure that we're continuing the outreach program or some type of an outreach program to try to increase that number yes we'll continue to engage our

community to ensure higher increases next year as well okay is that going out through individual school sites is it a district is it a district level effort there's actually a couple of ways that the survey can be completed when parents do register their children for school they provide an email address or a contact number and that information is

entered into our Aires portal system so we push out the surveys through emails we also have hard copies available at school sites at back-to-school night in the beginning of the year all of our schools did a fantastic campaign in opening up their computer labs having laptops available at parent-teacher conferences to make that available well I applaud everyone for the increase

because I know it's exponential over what it has been in the past so thank you very much thank you on page three about homeless youth where you we had twenty students are on track of graduating and also we had 79 students who had been tutored this is such a great thing that our school district is providing and in our staffs and I come

into members whose sweat and and her partner in crime there and we have a community father who brought fathers to school with their children and having breakfast it's collaborations and as a common census we need to help those who need the most help and I think those are our homeless population and our students there so in the future I'd like to maybe see some

type of survey done with them see what would be their immediate needs are and um it could be related to something with our school district or something that could be outside - but it's good for us - to know their immediate needs and and where we can meet them on a more readily basis I just like to thank our their

staffs and instead of California Stephanie - whose children and and really standing up for the kids and the dr. Johnston and even Farley and just thank you for what you're doing providing services for our kids and truly we say this because they represent our next generation so thank you for doing that yes we do like to see all of

our kids go to Harvard and Yale but more than that we want them to be a a great citizen first a decent human being and and you guys are in the front line along with our lovely teachers and principals thank you for your time page 3 the unaccompanied homeless youth how many do we have enrolled oh this

past school year about 2,700 the the ten that are pursuing higher education I love that and I know that some may think that that number is low but it used to be we had none that were interested in pursuing higher education so this is significant you know it shows the commitment that each of you along with teachers and

other staff have made for our foster youth I do have a question and and maybe you can just email it the PSAT is something that now we offer you know at the tenth grade level to all students have we always offered that we offer it from 8th through the 10th grades for free of cost to all students and I think

that that is something we need to follow up on the scores because I know at least for myself when my son saw his scores and then on the bottom it says you are on track for college you know preparedness and all that I think that that is a really motivating factor and so if if there is some way for us to

look at those scores and tap into the students who are college ready and then maybe those that fell just a little short so that we can guide them you know offer them counselling so that they are on track so that we can see these numbers and all the areas increase I I think that it is a perfect tool to be

used to increase college enrollment out of our districts so if that can be done and then lastly it was miss Johnson's page the dropout prevention protocol can you share a little bit about that because you said it's rolling out to all the schools or has everyone been trained you mentioned something about training regarding the dropout prevention protocol or has everyone

trained it was developed last year and we have trained classified and classified staff and administrators as well so that we can catch our students when they do leave our schools and just for clarity these are not truly dropouts but if a student leaves one of our Chino Valley schools and moves out of state we need to be able to track where they went

if we're unable to track the location of their next school that counts as a dropout so in some cases families for a variety of circumstances leave and we're a we lose communication with the families and instances like that is where we would have a dropout so there's a leer series of steps that we have created to minimize those dropouts okay so it's not

dropouts within our district it's those that move that we may that we have to continue to follow through that's correct okay thank you great work thank you know we're comments from our student representative Alec C hello and good evening board cabin and community for the month of April Iowa High School has put on their spring sports rally which was themed Toy Story

school administrators from all over California United together to advocate for our students as members of AXA we focused on sharing our stories to key legislators with a focus on three key areas local control funding formula special education and social-emotional health while meeting with alleges legislators or their staffers we shared our stories from our sites addressing how funding could help our students we

stressed the importance for senators to support additional funding for our schools to match those top ten states in funding with the rising students requiring special education services we urge them to increase funding for special education and programs so the general funds would not be affected additionally we were able to express the importance of funding support for social

and emotional health research was share revealing a 104 percent increase in children facing mental health needs additional funds would allow our schools to be proactive rather than reactive the weekend also included a speaker series offering sessions from a variety of presenters ranging from the California Department of Education to Assembly and State Education staffers as well as Governor Newsome's

administration and Department of Finance these presenters discussed their current work and provided opportunities for us to ask questions about their areas of expertise for example the California Department of Education had two directors present about the California dashboard and the California systems of support miss Kazan is reported that the Department of Education is working on increasing the functionality of the

dashboard and has recently added the five year graduation rate they are looking into whether schools should receive credit for the five year graduates because they are currently considered dropouts the California Department of Education is also working to align the single plan for student achievement with the El Cap miss Gregson reported that the county offices are working to reorganize in order to

provide better support for the schools besides meeting with Senators Assembly members and officials from the California Department of Education attending legislature the action day provided an opportunity to network with administrators from San Bernardino County and throughout the state thank you again for your time and I think that's more than enough time where you take so thank you very much

for your time everyone thank you and we're so proud of you girls that and Chino High is you know rising star that's so fantastic we're now at community liaisons and we have a special guest from Seminole County Superintendent of Schools mr. Mars sir not and he also wears another head is a school board member at a Fontana Unified

welcome thank you so good evening president nas for Intendant and field members of the board cabinet and members of the community and those watching probably at home right now or later on their computers right because you do televise your your meetings here it's an honor to be here representing San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools along with my colleague Marissa

was passing out she's gonna pass out historical context around family and community engagement so I've noticed that today you know cap report you did speak around family and community engagement and the importance that that has in this community along which I do see here on your board goals is its goal number two so that's amazing thing and I

can see and I can witness that there are amazing things happening here in this district based on that report seeing that you're below or above depending on the average on an every metric you guys are doing an awesome job as a board and superintendent and cabinet and staff we're all working together so I'm gonna let Marissa right

now she's going to talk a little bit about the historical context that you just received and then I'll be back on this microphone thank you good evening superintendent board president and members of the board and the community here present so it's really an honor to be here in front of you talking about the the amazing leadership Chino Valley

has done throughout the years of course through the leadership of of the staff and including all of the parent Center staff but I'm going to focus a little bit on the leadership that Carol sweat has done in representation of Chino Valley as has led in the work of family school community partnership so um I met Carol back in 2006 when I started in the

county and she had just been I think a year doing the family school community partnership here in the district one of the many hats Carol wore at the time but in my seek to understand families community partnership I reached out to John Hopkins University dr. Joyce Epstein who's a very recognized it national and international researcher on family engagement and she pointed out

that I needed to look locally into the expertise of a staff that was creating marvelous work around the partnership work and so she pointed out Carol sweat and I called my wonderful girls when at the time introduced myself and I quickly learned that she had made amazing work of this promising practices which she made them come to life what you have in

front of you in the first page I'm gonna point out just two great works that she has made seem so simple where in other areas other districts it has become a challenge one of them is dr. Epstein talks about the power of having a team an action team that focuses on that on the work around family and school community partnership

as we have seen earlier in the in the El Cap um update so in 2005 Carol started with developing 17 Action Team 4 partnerships at 17 school sites and even though that may seem that's a good number the average usual School District can start developing an actual team around this the district it's about 3 to 4 action teams in the school sites so

Carol with within the first year she developed 17 partnership schools and up to date she has now 30 schools participating in the John Hopkins Action Team for partnership model which gives you feedback and data so you know where you have been and how you can continue to grow your programs one of the key components about that work as you can

see in page 2 and in page 3 is that it's directly linked to the plan that the district has in our case the local control can't really plan and at the school site level into the success the most importantly it's the work that really we can see in the community and we can see and hear in the testimonies of families that can

come up here and talk about how they are part of their kids journey so I want to highlight one of the things that Carol has really modeled for us in our County and I really thank Chino Valley for their leadership and and being so flexible to allow us to learn as well from Carol as she attends our family

engagement network meetings and our professional development at the county level she has put together the dual capacity framework which we know and we recognize that is so important not only to empower the families in the community on how to engage parents how to engage community partners nonprofits in to the work that we do in school but also how

to train and build a capacity on staff on how to engage parents because we know we all come from different walks of life so carol has made it seem so easy however we know that this has been years worth of work where she has been able to develop systems in which parents and staff are working collaborate and as we

saw in the El Cap update so I'm gonna turn it back to my colleague who's gonna continue to talk a little bit about the work that has impacted not only our County but the state through Carol sweats work and Chino Valley's model for partnership Thank You Marissa so as you can see behind us here today are numerous amounts of individuals that

Carol sweat and Brenda Fourier have engaged I know Tony I think well president now you talked about fatherhood engagement and Oh Tony standing right behind me with his awesome looking son here looking sharp in this uniform but you know that this this community has been embraced so much bye-bye Carol and so many of these people are here to support her and so

sometimes we have to keep things from her and so now that we've given you this wonderful presentation around goal three and go to of your district goal we've all come together I don't know if you all know that she's retiring so because she's retiring and she walks with a cane right now so I'm gonna have her come up and we're gonna receive her

this timeless piece of clock that says retirement and it says this is to celebrate the time that you have given to service to students and families and all that is yet to come Carol sweat given us Day on April 18 2019 so on behalf of the County of San Bernardino Superintendent of Schools our family engagement team 32 school

districts because we can include Chino Valley as a 33rd but 32 school districts in this county she has mentored coached and served every one of us in some way in some and some how and and so she you are losing a gym here I want you to know I know that there's probably a succession plan that you as a board have

to come together and figure out and cabinet has to figure out because you have to replace this beautiful young lady and it's not going to be easy absolutely so Carol on behalf of all of us standing here behind you and those that you have helped in front of us do you know how retirement is you get a

knee injury and then you get retired right thank you so much Martha Marissa these are my partners in the county level and we even have some of our partners Susan Petrocelli who is from Chaffee unified it's overwhelming to be honored like this I thank you so much and I hope as the board looks through the materials we gave you that you will

received please listen for your name and be prepared to approach the podium any comments on agenda items will be accepted during consideration of that item once the board has commenced deliberation on the issue speaker cards will not be accepted the board is very interested in your comments but please bear in mind the board typically does not respond to your comments during this

time on the agenda as it is received specifically for public comments individual members may respond during all comments at the end user Chris will you please explain the light system speakers you have three minutes begin when the comments relight the old light means you have 30 seconds left to red light means stop audience members please refrain from making comments while

speakers are at the podium the first speaker is the young lady with the traumatic brain injury Valerie and I was reminded of an article Alexander Solzhenitsyn mentioned in a Soviet scientific journal about how some prisoners found a twenty thousand year old salamander and fell upon it and a tea would relish and the thing he pointed out the thing that nobody sort

of noticed was it was there anything relevant about those prisoners would want to make them fall upon a twenty thousand year old selling Mandarin eat it with relish and in the same way I'd heard this discussion and I heard the continuation school health around all kinds of other people held up here's who didn't help around the special ed

Department saw that she had a traumatic brain injury which is one of the thirteen qualifying disabilities they saw that this is interfering with her education she went from a full rota to all failing grades and had lots of problems ever since and they managed to find that she did not qualify for special education and related services so here is one crowd in

this in the Chino Valley Unified School District their first sure didn't want to do anything to that young lady fortunately there were other people in the district who did but the special education department in this particular thing certainly have was you know is it we certainly stood out didn't it and the amazing thing is that mr. McAfee

couldn't recount all this with prime shamelessly mentioning that they actually didn't qualify her when she obviously was qualified and this is what they do all the time I'll be serving a due process complaint this evening when I get home on the district about another kid that they've been ripping off very deliberately and intentionally and working hard to rip this kid off for the

past couple of years and there are so many others and you know there's this always concern expressed about suicide you guys know the kids with learning disabilities are at a higher risk of suicide and you don't want to do anything about it so this is why I don't really want to hear much about the concern of the district's administration

about suicide because what that district can do is identify kids with specific learning disabilities and help them out instead of playing keep-away and the district special ed department is determined to keep on playing keep-away and I wonder if any of the five board members here think that any of this is a problem in the past ten years and a half

I haven't seen that happen I've seen board members come and go third superintendent still haven't seen any concern in doing any kind of justice or compassion toward these kids and I would enjoy if I could be startled by something different happening after these ten and a half years we're now it changes and deletions path the following change is on the agenda

item to b2 b3 business services donations page 23 Underwood crest junior high school delete the donation from Southern California Edison ice machine $3,200 thank you we're now at consent had are there any speakers and consent items for members do you have any pause mr.

Schaeffer report out so I will make this as quick as I can first and foremost I'd like to remind

everybody the special board meeting next week the 25th 5 p.m. here in the board room it'll be we'll be discussing issues surrounding the preserve overcrowding at Cal aro potential options that we might have to address that and also talking about by the second school what looks like what things might be on the horizon as far as attendance at offense over the

week on April 5th I was honored to attend the career today at Magnolia junior high they had a great turnout and a lot of different options for the students as far as career choices and career presentations so I'd like to thank everyone that showed up and participated especially the council over there she's actually a long serve long

term sub and her name is Miss Diana not sure every last Gillian I believe and she stepped up and took on the responsibility of putting the career day on for the students at Magnolia so I want to thank her for taking that on also on April 5th I attended a legislative roundtable with Assemblyman Freddy Rodriguez and his staff we

discussed the educational issues things surrounding lcff and funding special ed funding and some issues with some charter school concerns that the districts around the in his district had and we there was there was members from five different districts represented and so it was nice to hear from some of the other districts and things that are going on with them on April 7th I was

honored to attend the wash accreditation committee reception for the Adult Education Center they went through the WASC accreditation process and so on April 6 was the reception for the committee and then we returned on April 9th for a wrap-up interview meeting with the committee so I'd like to thank principal Carl Hampton and his entire staff the staff and students came out in

force for the accreditation reception which is a fantastic thing on April 8th I attended the Bali brop student success award ceremony it was we honored students from all all of our high schools and it was a great turnout I would like to thank dr. infield and members of cabinet and high school principals that attended it was it was a

nice event on April 16th I was able to attend the avid coordinators meeting when it was meeting they do annually with all the avid coordinators from the junior High's and high schools the principal's showed up as well and it's got a roundtable it gives them an opportunity to talk about some things that they're doing that has boosted participation or has helped

the students within their programs and so it was nice to see the collaboration going on to assist students and avid programs across the district and then on April 17th I was invited to the we remember event which was held at Don Lugo high school that was in honor of veterans and so they had veterans coming in the morning they provided them with a

light breakfast and then everybody went into the gym and they had tables set up and all the juniors at the high school were able to interview and talk with veterans and get a perspective of what things were like for them when they were in the service and those who served in combat it was part of their social

science and history program and so they will take the information they gathered there and put it into different a variety of different assignments and then lastly as far as committee reports not much from Baldy View we're still talking about funding and we do have a small gap in funding that we're looking at filling hopefully with some grant

money and then secondarily the chena health Parks and Recreation Commission for those that don't know dr. Phil I believe was in a year or so ago we had broke ground broke ground on a piece of property adjacent to chaparral Elementary the school district owns that piece of property and in a joint venture with the city of Chino Hills the city is

building a park on that parcel that will be utilized by the students there and then the neighborhood that part of fun chino hills' was in desperate need of a city park and so i think it's a fantastic thing that the district was able to help out and provide the land and one of the programs or one of the

things that the city is doing is they gave the Opera all the students that chaperone the opportunity to do some tile art and there's about four or five hundred of these that we're done the city gathered the artwork had it transferred to the tiles and these tiles will be placed around the park at the different facilities around the park and

so there will be a ceremony I believe for this sometime in May I will get the date out and then the park itself is still on schedule for an October opening with that thank you very much for coming this evening have a good night good report okay no music Anja good evening I've continued my school site visits I had the pleasure

this week visiting with min elementary chaparral and our alternative education site I have to say I was blown away yesterday when I went to chaparral and a fifth grade class had built a robot and was doing things that college students have trouble doing so through my school site visits one of the things I've learned is that we're doing amazing

things in this districts was set in education and I think a lot of students are getting engaged who might not have been interested in the sciences but are developing a passion for it I too attended the legislative roundtable with assembly member Rodriguez and one of the things that I want to highlight that we also discussed and this was an issue

that other districts in the area are also facing is mental health services for our K through six students I think they're often an overlooked population in terms of facing a variety of issues and so we were able to bring this to the assembly members attention and I will continue to communicate issues as they come up to both the assembly member as

well as Senator Leyva I am the liaison to the city of Chino City Council and I just want to mention that next Wednesday April 24th the city of Chino was doing a pop-up City Hall in the preserve community so if you happen to live there or are concerned with what's going on they're having to drive down Euclid to get to the 71 the city of

Chino will be there answering community concerns I do want to echo that we're having our meeting on April 25th to discuss the boundary issues so should you have any questions or information you'd like to share if you're not able to attend the meeting or feel more comfortable sharing it via email please feel free to contact me prior to that

meeting and I think that's it Thank You mr. Cruz I also attended the hotel at WASC the whole community was supporting the the Adult Ed which was fantastic so I'm definitely they're going to pass for sure I also attended the arm award at Disneyland my ala distinguishes Wells Canyon I think there was a lot of districts I

don't like to saved a lot of schools maybe over 200 schools they may have received the distinguished award but it wasn't maxed out so that was a great experience I also attended Eagle Canyon M and received went to Eagle Canyon last week to interview a fourth-grade student named Ramar E with autism and remar e's teacher mismo has a big heart and is in

tune with the needs of all students and has a she has a gift for bringing students together for an incredible learning environment and Ramar ease such an adorable and outgoing he's very articulated and heartwarming it was very lovely story and that's about it and thank you mr. doctor and I'd like to think in the audience you say mrs.

Schaeffer almost like every other day didn't find Adult School who asked I was an awesome

experience the Commission had really felt the true dedication from not only from the teachers my students oh wow they were so happy with the teachers crew there at Adult School Commission was blown away they said so thank you for all the teachers in effect there's one teacher her name is Sharon I can't recall her last name but she's

retiring I think next week we are going to miss her but she taught citizenship classes where that husband had passed and the cities from yeah so we got awesome teachers in our school district and and CAC staffs while the view our P Awards night each high school was represented from our school district and I was really blessed

but there was one lady from Kenyan history of high school and I presume she was a teacher or staff member and she was extremely happy to see me and she said do you remember me and I couldn't really remember her you know mom over fifty years old can't remember what happened yesterday she said I was the one who was at Glen Mead
