year thank you Michael Chiu followed by Lim Lin followed by dr. Sebastian hi good evening my name is Michael Chiu and I come here to speak for over a hundred parents who are holding this right okay I've spent time to review the California Health framework as a parent I have realized that sex education is completely intolerable and I would never
wish for my kids and any other children to be provided this ignorant teachings I understand that this is legal for two individuals to perform sex sexual interactions without love in between them and is legal to neglect the duty of responsibility and commitment upon raising a family I know it's legal to give away your own baby if you don't want them and then
know it's legal to abort a baby as long as the babies and the four-month-old in cycling model however educator at as parent we do not promote such idea to our next generation pursuant to California Education Code five one nine three seven parents and guardians have the ultimate responsibility and imparting values regarding to human sexuality for their children it's a common knowledge that no
type of conduct can fully currency protection against pregnancy and sexual transmitted disease therefore there should be a serious topic for all people as it may result in an unpleasant and please protected responsibility to raise a child and if it cost an estimated two hundred twenty thousand to raise a baby to 18 years old sexually transmitted disease also usually cannot be cured and
sometime lead to death when teachers to educate children on how to use condom to enjoy sex they must also recognize that one out of 50 female student we become as parents and educators when we give sex education to our children we must also teach children about responsibility the mental and health damage caused from an abortion and teach children about
value of life you do not teach children to deal with their own baby and we fail to inform their parents or loved ones during the abortion and continue to experience a variety of abnormal or typical intercourse positions and proceed to have multiple abortions our children and our next generation and the disgusting teaching involved in the sex education simply should not be ignored
our children should be loved and cared for and is obviously and ignored decision to allow teach a school to repeat it freedom destructive information that we do nothing but devasted that billion futures so my question tonight is is it too much to ask to just give a little tension and concern to the ones that they thank you
Leblon followed by dr. Sebastian fathered by Katherine Osmond Chino Valley Unified School District Board member and mr. superintendent my name is Leland and I am Chetan Hill resident and I am also a parent with the cheapest at elementary school age and I have performed some research on sexual orientation gender identity and transgender there are very complicated issues and even conceived many
experienced licensed medical doctors after the California health education framework was approved by the state America's first of sexual non-binary individual Jamie Shoop born as a male was legally judged by the court and a medically identified as neither male nor female he stated that his chance gender and two different gender identities were all a chef a fantasy that the
transgender community lured him to the Libby Jamie Shoop concluded in his statement to fake gender identities couldn't hide the truth of my biological reality there is no third gender were third sex like me intersex people or either male or female their condition is the result of a disorder of sexual development and they need help and compassion and the victim of the story
is Jamie's family and the American taxpayer like us there is plenty of evidence confirming the schoolteachers with no professional medical knowledge and experience and no medical license are unfashionable in not guide our children to explore and experience different gender identities and sexual orientations they have no medical professional experience to identify gender no confirming students wore identified genders and sexualities of students
based on their color and type references the California Health Education framework is not medically accurate and should be carefully revealed by licensed professionals first that is why I'm standing here to represent part of this the Paras body we requested the Chino Valley Unified School District release the district to health education curriculum to all parents and now to
damage our next generation again we will keep our eyes open wide and check with the school district and the board members attentively because we strive to assure our next generation the best that they can have and the best that they can be thank you thank you dr. Sebastian followed by Katherine Osmond followed by Jennifer signs good evening members of
the board dr. Anne field staff it's nice to see you again Martin great to see you again congratulations on the completion of another academic year I stand before you tonight is a proud member of public education in Chino Valley having been a part of the community now for nearly a year I'm also here to express gratitude to share a little bit about our school
and support our fellow wolf James Houston thanks to James who ensured that we would fly the flag at half-mast today to honor those who serve 75 years ago on d-day James understands james unders James understands the importance of that pivotal moment in our nation's as well as the world's history thank you James tip dr. Enfield asked him for the agenda
and questions ahead of time because they're thorough they're hard hitting you're gonna want to be prepared it's a little over a year ago dr. Enfield former superintendent Joseph and I met and mr. Joseph looked me in the eyes and said there's a lot that needs to happen to open the school will it happen in time I was 22 years old
when he asked that question so there you go but here we are that was funny in my head because I look 30 years older than 22 but so today we find ourselves a week out from celebrating our first promoting 8th grade class before they embark upon the great programs are waiting for them at a Yala at Don Lugo Chino and Chino Hills
there been hiccups along the way which is isn't too surprising when you're building a plane while flying it as we like to say but together we've accomplished quite a bit collectively we set out to open school by families that would reflect the community we serve thanks to our efforts allegiance looks like the community today a little bit of
data have shared with several of you Chino Valley is approximately 56% Hispanic allegiance is 60% Hispanic chino valleys 3.3 percent black 3.6 at a sa 16% white 17% white at a sa similar data for asians demographic at sixteen point five percent in the district seventeen point three at our school lastly special education a little higher than 12 percent in the district and
we're approaching fourteen percent at our school so as you can see we set out to look like the community and within the first year together we're getting really close to doing that i'm proud of that and proud of all of us were accomplished in that last we acknowledge that charters are a polarizing topic that's why it's imperative for everyone
to know us we are working hard daily to earn the reputation as a public school for all families we're going to continue we're committed to doing that thank you for your time thank you Catherine Osmond followed by Jennifer Zhou followed by Cali whoo ladies and gentlemen I want to talk about technology and the use of screens I think it has gotten out of control in
two respects it has addicted our population and is harming the learning of our kids George Orwell wrote of Big Brother watching us in 1984 that is the book that he wrote in 1984 today 90% of us are willingly surveilled upon because we're addicted to our cell phones cell phone addiction is right there in the blue book of
mental illnesses next to drug addiction schools should be helping prevent this but instead we say no nothing wrong we're going to teach more and more with technology smart boards on all the classrooms etc in actuality there is a lot wrong with technology and kids the American Society of Pediatrics says that no screens should be before a child
before age 2 because babies need to learn language from human faces to learn the social cues and other things the National Institute of Health has just started in 19 in 2018 study of 12,000 kids in the early grades early results say that spending hours a day with screens in front of them leads to the thinning of the prefrontal cortex the
area of the brain for sensory perception in other words learning parents are starting to complain about to two hours a day that we are using in component with computers like in grade 3 I heard that that was what the plan was for next year at back-to-school I tell parents no screens this year if you can manage it
except for whatever we have to do for our lessons some parents take me more or less at my word others don't in the fall I can look at a class and tell them all kinds of things and then in a few minutes they come up and ask me questions that show me they haven't heard anything I said even
though they were looking straight at me by spring I can tell which kids are still on screens and ones are not ones that are not can do great things like the four page creative story in front of the board members this was in our Cinderella unit and we were looking at Cinderella in different cultures and then fractured fairy tales
and now this child wrote her own version which we read nothing like it and four pages closely written we've also done science fair projects at the Agriculture Fair and won prizes even though there isn't a category for second grade you have to be in third or fourth to enter and we've done Shakespeare and all kinds of great things I'd like to see less to
technology emphasis just using it for a tool none at all in grades kindergarten first and second and then sparingly not more than two hours my name is Jennifer and I'm a parent and a citizen of residents of Chino Hills and I'm here to ask for parental right to instill my children with traditional family value instead of having the state of
California to adopt in to indoctrinate my children with the teaching from the CSE materials in the public school that promote sexual perversions and even abortion without the knowledge of the parents I don't believe that by teaching our children to experience sex but many people will be healthy and good for them in fact that it will increase their
danger to all kinds of sexual disease and will scar them emotionally and affect their normal teenager years when the focus should be on developing them academically as well as living a healthy lifestyle statistic statistics show that having a natural marriage or lengthen life span of ameno one the sexual relationships with numerous partners including homosexual behaviors result in health problems such as AIDS
and STDs colon and rectal cancer and hepatitis according to the Center for Disease Control moreover the suicide array among transgender is 50 percent according to a study done by UCLA so I'm very concerned that the CSE the comprehensive sexual education is trying to promote sexual pleasure lessons among male and males female and females and etc and normalized abnormal sexual behaviors
such as anal sex or teaching in OSS to our children as a way to avoid pregnancy but it will increase the risk for AIDS so these types of teaching are actually a explore exploitation and lies to our children and things I teach by teaching them behaviors that would be unacceptable in our media or TV TV networks but the truth will be exposed
to these materials at school so tolerance of CSD is in loving and it's evil because it allows our children to be harmed and the majority of the parents and teachers and students do not consent to such a curriculum and so I'm here to request that the school board will not implement CSC materials in our in our school district next year forever
thank you [Applause] Kelly whoo-ha whoo-ha yeah John hallwas how do they go sing Joey went he was our baby Tyson there hi Purvis you're on water the organ is here well haha you hold dear to sing Joey hold have purchased a new chick she have lover concerned especially her little kids even though he is a boy but now he

damage will hurt his mind good Joni - Kyla she concerned a lot because all this education will be too early to her kids especially for the other one it's that's pretty too early to learn all those things for her son Arthur was you're on duty Jo Jo Jo abound should we audience without whole you need to hide
it that way like what she thought school ball should take action as soon as possible because she's so worried about the coming school year they are going to apply the new new curriculum thank you thank you so much thank you here so that's why so many Chinese like just just concerned recently and they didn't notice until in Chinese media thank you

Schaefer second second second being Sukanya in comments and questions okay I understand that last year during some of the meetings that I missed our local newspaper reported I guess it was a dry weekend of news events but just like any other
individual things happen in life but for anyone to believe that the work that any elected official does is only at the two meetings that we attend whether it be here at the school board or City Council or fire districts there's work that is done before the the two meetings and so I am going through a situation that I
didn't think that had to be brought forward there are just things that happened and my priority has to be my son and so there will be missed meetings and so I hope that everyone understands and realizes that I'm not milking taxpayer dollars I am a taxpayer I was a homeowner paying property taxes I work full-time for Los Angeles County and I
have four proudly for 28 years and so I'm just explaining all this not because there is a need to but because I I want to make it clear that it it is a necessity and so I would appreciate the support of the board and if there isn't that I'm okay with that too but I just want to put to rest any thoughts
even at as employees you know we're entitled to sick days and family days and so it's just things that happen and so I appreciate all of you for supporting me through all this and I hope that it'll be over soon thank you as I do with students you know for me we're parents too and and there's things
happen with our children and when we meet schools for our kids usually adults would ask questions whether it's excused or not excused absence and and I would usually ask one person a had illness caught a flu or sick or family emergencies that would be my second question so on this player will you qualify yes yes then our support to

this deals with the instruction for schools doctor in the field I just want to confirm though that instruction days only that the number of instruction days does not in any way predicate the amount of resources or support services they receive you know I'm gonna have to refer that question to mrs. chin I don't believe but I want to make sure that we
we're talking about a DA funding correct on this because we reduced the a the the number of school days does the district get less funding because of that and will that result in a reduced amount of services or support services it wouldn't reduce the support that we provide okay okay but I don't know about the funding question and and it will not it will not
affect the resources that we receive either I just want to make sure the support services and supplies and budget and everything they get is not based on the number okay thank you okay all those in favor say aye opposed passes fight you we're now at information Stephanie are there new speakers Darren ed no communications mr. Schaefer yes it's
already 7:50 say thanks to commend James mr. Houston for your actions and for your courage to step out and to do something when you saw an injustice I applaud you for that and please keep going and doing what you're doing okay one voice can make a difference too I believe it was mr. Chiu and some of the other folks that spoke
on on sex ed I'm not sure where some of the information is coming from and I know the stage has put out a new framework please know the framework is not a mandate so to speak the district had just concluded a parent advisory committee for our new sex ed curriculum and I can guarantee you I have read
through the notes of those meetings and none of the stuff that you guys are concerned about was present in those in those in the minutes of those meetings the curriculum is the new curriculum will be coming before us I believe July I think in July in July it's a very conservative approach to what the state wants us to impart as part of sex act
okay they give us a they give us a range of things to choose from and our district takes a very conservative approach the curriculum is available for view at school sites that's going to be teaching the curriculum as well as the district office okay so you can see what your child is going to be taught in those
classes there's also and there always has been and continues to be a print opt-out if you choose to not have your child participate in the sex edge curriculum you can top them out of that portion of the curriculum so that that option remains if you guys have any questions on that please feel free to get ahold of me I'd be happy to meet
with you outside of a meeting here to kind of explain the process a little more I know it could be it can be bothersome and it can be worrisome for you but I'd be more than happy to do my part and try to explain the approach that the district's taking okay first of all I'd like to congratulate
all of our 2,000 class of 2019 graduates from our high schools I was honored to be able to participate in all of the graduation ceremonies and I do say it was an honor it was great to see the pride and the excitement from the families and the graduates and so as they move on to either college or career
or the military I wish them all the best I'd also like to congratulate those students who participate in promotions either from sixth grade to junior and I are from junior high to high school I was also able to attend the Adult School graduation and it was a it was a very nice ceremony we had four different groups of folks we had some folks that
went back and finished their high school diplomas we had a group of folks that completed their GED requirements we had some folks that finished their ESL or English as second language certificates and we also had some folks to fit and finish the citizenship courses and so I congratulate all of them and and I would like to thank Briggs for inviting me to
their promotional ceremony it was it was very nice ceremony as far as committee reports baldie you are opie I was just announced that our assistant superintendent dr. Forrest Lorenzo has accepted a position with Riverside County and so he will be leaving us and this so bald EMU is currently in the process of trying to recruit a new assistant superintendent
we also had some money come back from one of the participating districts they couldn't use money for modernization in one of their buildings and so that money came back to Baldy view and we're in the process of looking at potentially adding another modular building to the current training facility to house administration so that we can get everybody on one site the Chino host
Parks and Recreation Commission nothing to report this meeting because of concerts in the park series to start and run through the first part of August they have moved there June and July feedings from the third Wednesday to the third Thursday so I will not be able to attend those in June and July because they followed our board meeting that
concludes my comments thank you mrs. Gagne yes thank you first of all I want to thank all the parents that came here tonight and other individuals to express concerns I have some comments related to some of those concerns but before I get there briefly I represent this board to our local chamber of commerce and I just want to cite that there are two upcoming
events one is the annual charity golf fundraiser on June 24th and also the Chino State of the City address which is going to be on June 26 so I just wanted to cite those and hopefully everyone can participate you know I'm pretty new to this board but having sort of seen things online and come to meetings prior
to being on the board something that I see happen in this district again and again and I am from this area so I appreciate when the community is driving projects or the communities driving initiatives and I don't appreciate when outside groups come into this community and try to drive misinformation and this district has continually been in a cycle
of people getting riled up for misinformation which i think is really unfortunate because it upsets a lot of people and it causes unnecessary strife and so I do want to speak about what this district is doing with the California healthy youth Act there has been a group going around Southern California spreading misinformation the reason I know this is I went to Western
Christian High School I'll repeat Western Christian High School and I had many of my fellow alumni reach out to me and wonder why our curriculum was so salacious why our curriculum was pornographic and I stopped very immediately saying well it's not because first of all our curriculum is still undergoing development and I want to explain the process to which this
district went through because there is not a mandated curriculum that we all must use at a community level we get to make decisions about what is in that curriculum every single member of this board got to appoint someone to that committee to work with the school district to create the curriculum and just as diverse that as are the
opinions of this board on this issue so too are those members I personally put out applications so anyone who wanted to serve on our own sex ed advisory committee could have simply filled out an application I advertised this over social media I picked someone that I had no affiliation with that had ties to the School District I don't know how everybody else ran
their process but from the composition of who I saw on that board it's a fairly diverse group of people I like mr. Schaefer has noted have reviewed those minutes I've reviewed the slides I've reviewed some of the potential curriculum it is in no way pornographic it is in no way reflect some of the comments that were made here this
evening and I do appreciate that this is being recorded right now and I really appreciate that person would identify themselves in the organization that they're from but I want to be very clear that you can opt out of the curriculum that has been something that has not been construed been adequately communicated by these outside groups to parents and that's what troubles me you
have every right to make a decision of what your child experiences that is your decision that is your right so you can opt out so I do want to say that I want to make that very clear because this issue keeps coming back to what the curriculum is or isn't going to be first of all that curriculum will be on public
view very soon any community member can give feedback on that curriculum so we do not right now have a predetermined curriculum - if you want to opt out you can opt out and I'm just saying these things because and this is regardless of what my beliefs on this issue are I just keep seeing misinformation in this community and I keep seeing people get
upset I've met with many parents on this matter over the last couple weeks who were very upset who were visibly shaken and when we sat down and actually talked about it they realized what was actually happening in this district we appreciate this a little more of a conservative district districts in Northern California might be doing something that's totally crazy
that's not our district our district is taking a very principled and open approach to the California state guidelines and when the state of California Legislature passes something whether the district likes it or not whether the community likes it or not we still have to implement it and that's how we end up if we don't if we just
ignore state mandates and we don't take some attempt to try to comply with the law that's how we end up in lawsuits and that's how we end up wasting taxpayer dollars it should be going back into our classrooms and helping students succeed so I just want to be clear first of all the curriculum is going to be introduced
anyone in the community can talk to me I'm sure any of the other board members can communicate with the school district their thoughts in the curriculum it'll be available to the public you can come back to a public meeting and comment on the curriculum but there is nothing that is in concrete form right now that can be commented on or can be viewed as
pornographic or need any other adjectives that I've heard of and second this was a community effort this was not just the school district coming down with a hammer and what that curriculum is gonna look like so I just want to make it clear and make myself open as a resource I'm happy to address your questions I'm happy to meet with you I
just personally and this is not the only issue that's happened on I'm getting a little tired of people who do not live in this community getting people very upset I think it's very disingenuous and I also think it's very disrespectful and it's very dangerous so I really appreciate the parents that came here tonight who have children in the
district I know it's not easy to come here I've know you are very busy I know it's hard to get up there and say what you have to say but I just want to make clear what the facts actually are because again if we can't have factually based conversations factually based open conversations we end up getting in these
big fights and there's really no reason in a community this close-knit that that happens Thank You Blair mr. Huston so after this is done you'll see doctor and field after the and then and then on the bingo you know the bingo that you guys have done so much for our school district so thank you for for all the things that you've
given to our children it's pretty good thank you Miss almond husband and you know I read the article and you know just the idea that you bring this article it gives me you know the sensitivity and you're trying the best that you know to help our children you know four thousand five hundred and and you know spending hours a day starting
you know using smartphones tablets and premature thinning of the cortes cortex so I appreciate that you give this to us that um you know there that it could be dangerous too much of technology can be dangerous for our children so I thank you very much and then allegiance you have you have a promotion coming June 13th 12:00 at six o'clock yes and and
all you guys that were discussing the sexual issues I know maybe it'd be a good time you know to speak to dr. Park but I have to say something you know real short and simple you know if your gut tells you something you listen to your gut and you know you always have always have to be watch and on guard of
the things that you know you see and and then you feel you know and I I commend that what you guys are doing because it's you guys that are the wall because without that there's no floor he'll just go deeper and deeper so um within the school district you guys make a big difference so I appreciate I appreciate
that so thank you and you know I attended I attended the Adult Ed and the retirement I attended CSE eight luncheon and I tell you I felt so much love at the luncheon for the CSEA it was it was something so special going on there a lot of good people and a lot of good people there and that's what the
graduation you know what I was reflecting with graduation and seeing all the parents you know the thing that we can do and parents and that is that we could leave a legacy for our children and that is that we set a path for them and the values that we set in that that we make a difference in their lives and
they remember of the things that we have done for them and it's very important to do that and to leave a legacy and as for me as a board member if I have changed one person to that has made a big difference in this experience that I've had so all your parents you know we have made a legacy and with those children
that are graduating we know that they're Generation Z and so much has talked about the special group of people that you know it really does matter to leave a legacy for these children and I had to say something this is very important to me I want to talk about Martin Luther King an icon of the 20th century a great
American hero who did extraordinary things a unifying figure you know emilich he said don't judge someone color of their skin but their character of their deeds you know MLK was a racial unifier his appeal to civil rights wasn't based on hate or race he was it was again unifying believed and figure out you know classes races gender Americans
should have the same rights and be treated equally a deeply patriotic American and I know we should quote more often Martin Luther King a very heroic individual that died and what he believed in so we're very grateful for Martin Luther King no but the things that he's done for us thank you mrs. Blair I just want to congratulate our almost
2,300 students our graduates from all of our high schools there were amazing graduation a the whole event is something that every year I look forward to and has probably been the greatest reward as a school board member so congratulations to the students and their families I want to on so Danny isn't here but the California School Employees Association held there a first
car show here in Chino a few weeks back and they raised over 2,500 dollars for scholarships and they hope that to be able to continue that and so it wasn't a bad turnout for the their first annual car show and I'm just going to wrap up what has already been addressed regarding the parents who have concerns regarding the California healthy youth
Act and and if you go to the California Department of Education website and I hope you have your pens and video recorders ready because not only does it emphasize that school boards and school districts are to provide the mandated instruction it details there's a Q&A portion to address the concerns but toward the very end it states if you
have any questions regarding this subject matter and here you go I don't see anybody writing please contact our coordinator of school health and safety office at nine one six three one nine zero nine one four as a school district and an elected school board all we can do is apply the curriculum that is mandated there are some aspects of it
that we get to choose however this isn't something that we can decide not to implement and I just know that having gone through the school system in California I sex ed in sixth grade and I think all of us that are here did and we're okay do things have to be changed as time goes on absolutely but we all had sex
education so to explain it as though it's perverted and all of that I I would have to disagree with that and it shouldn't be scare tactics its life and it should be explained and if you have concerns you can opt out if you have concerns I'm not going to say please ask me because I'm not the expert in the
area dr. Park is who is entrusted with this subject matter and I that's who should be emailed if you have general questions I will gladly s answer your general questions but if you want in depth about the curriculum to be honest it is dr. Park and we did have a committee that included parents of the community and we afforded the the open
discussion it was provided and so maybe maybe you weren't aware that that had taken place but I believe that the powerpoints are still available they can be provided to you may be emailed to you but I think your best go-to would be the California Department of Education who is overseeing the whole program and again the office of school health and
safety is at nine one six three one nine zero nine one four have a good night sending those emails to dr. Park not to you I want to congratulate our graduates this year did it was a nice couple of days there to celebrate the you know what we do here is the school district we're here a k-12 school district and
that's the culminating activity so it's very nice and to the public and to our graduates I think next week you'll see a video highlighting the graduations and celebrating our students so when you get a chance look at some of the social media we'll be pushing that out for the public to see thank you okay my final comments are first I'd
like to have two individuals stand up James Houston and Sophie Chu let's give them a big pause you guys can sit now I explain to you why if we were children and if I was children I'm gonna go back and become like each one of you I know Sophie you really helped out your family and and your dad and not only being a
top student you have a compassion for those people that needs help I really commend that it's good to start at a young age mr. James Houston I want you to become the next president of the United States so that our country would be greater than today that's the reason you guys were able to stand up before us now
looking at the hot topic yes mrs. Blair was right I had that sex education while I was in little okay no problems had no problems now second when there's a smoke going on there's a fire somewhere okay now if six educational okay why there's a drive to change that there's ulterior motive from Sacramento I'll tell you that for a fact
it is perverse if when you look at the recommended textbooks look at the truth you look at the drawings yes I don't know if we're going to adapt those textbooks here if we get a choice but it is a perversion it's about taking down family value it's making like let's call Sun a moon moon a Sun why doing to teach
that to our children many of us decided and our parents have decided to come to this country for what reason educating our children righteousness and building stronger family value you yes you to own the position of your influence and what you have and give everything to protect your kids ah will do the same thing here we have a great
shaft we understand our family value I pray and I do my best personally to block that but it is a drive from Sacramento it's a perversion totally wrong if sex education was fine for us and I'm over 50 years old why do we need to change that okay it's like you got a perfect good restaurant it's been working for 40 years why would they
change the menu okay so now from the is Martin here severa no oh yes thank you you can get up to he was our head chef and he really provided a meal for hundreds of our CSA members maintenance department and he'd take it personally and even his wife showed up to support our staff members so thank you for being a good servant
leader Martin thank you and booster so proud of you I think if new president I still don't know your name I forget I I have a five minutes memory span that's what I need to go play bingo but it's gonna help me but uh thank you for what you're doing and continue to serve our students are proud of you and si si
Chino 102 scholarship event they had whole bunch of old cars antique cars and and many motorcycles too but it really brought our staff together for good cause they spent all day serving the members and people actually was taking pictures of these cars and cars that I could have seen in TV but they were there and it created a great result
and I think our district should do our best to really support next year's event so I'd like to thank all the leadership at si si and they also cooked for luncheon that was had a professional building for special ed 8 I think was Tuesday they were serving lunch and for all the members who attended a class and also
