under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all Thank you Thank You Zoe moving on to that reports next up is the El Cap annual update English Learner progress indicators that's part president Schafer members of the board superintendent enfield cabinet and community we have our fourth update to the Board of Education on our local control and accountability plan

specifically we'll be reviewing the English learner progress indicator the English learner progress indicator is a state metric used to measure the performance of our English learners in state priority for all students upon their first entry to a California school who identify that another language is spoken at home is assessed on the initial English language proficiency assessment for California also known as

the El pack students who demonstrate proficiency are classified as fluent English proficient and subsequently are not assessed again those who do not demonstrate proficiency are English learners and are assessed annually until they demonstrate proficiency here is the formula used to derive at the English Learner progress indicator the some of the students who take the El pack that

increased at least one level between the current and prior year and the some of the students who maintained at least a level four between the current and prior year is divided by the total number of testers in both the current and prior year on the El pack yielding a final English learner progress indicator score the El pack which is a data source used

to calculate the English learner progress indicator has four possible performance levels from level one minimally developed to level four well developed however for accountability levels the L PI or the English Learner progress indicator divides up the four performance levels into six performance levels yielding from level one level two low to level four and the goal in California is for

our English learners to band up a performance level each year there have been some key changes to the English learner progress indicator just this November 2019 our State Board of Education approved the calculation for this indicator and the results are reflected on the dashboard and include the results of our English learners who took the exam in 2018 and 2019 school

years performance is also reported from very high to very low and for schools and school districts who do not test at least 95 percent of their English learners are assigned an automatic low status on the English learner progress indicator Chino Valley had 58 point one of our students making progress landing in the high performance level outpacing our state in the medium level and the

key to the left reports the percentage needed to score in the performance levels ranging from again very high to very low in the next part of our presentation Yvette Farley our director of access and equity will review our demographics for English learners and share the actions and services outlined in our ell cap to support the growth of our English

learners Chino Valley Unified School District currently has a total of three thousand 119 ELL students in grades K through 12 which equates to 11 point two percent of our total student population taking guidance from the California English Learner roadmap along with the California Education for a global economy initiative identified under El Cap our actions and services that have

contributed to the language acquisition and academic success for our English learners the Department of access and equity continues to monitor the implementation of our eld curriculum and the protective time for designated eld our coordinator of access and equity monitors designated eld schedules academic progress monitoring and trains administration on the el pack assessment staff development and site support will

continue with the focus on integrated eld integrated eld focuses on content literacy and language learning across the disciplines our instructional coaches provide support to our teachers through lesson planning and modeling effective instructional strategies such as collaborative conversations and the use of graphic organizers and word walls to assist in creating a print rich environment at the elementary and

secondary schools capacity building will continue through support services to increase parent engagement and involvement through our parent engagement Center this concludes our annual update for the board of education thank you for the presentation this evening there any questions up here from the board this is a great news I'd like to thank our staffs as well as especially our teachers with those

patients and patients and days after looking for student success and and this one shows that and as I've said in in the past as an adult we have to love our children and our kids have to respect their teachers so thank you a great job mr. Cruz yeah I also noticed you know changes every year modify things you

know throughout the accountability system I would expectedly change this more next year you know I would suspect so yes we do expect changes for one we do see that there will be a performance color represented on the dashboard and if there are future changes it will be discussed at the State Board of Education meetings and we'll be

providing the board updates along with that thank you I just have a quick question on page ten regarding the staff development that's available to teachers is that on a continuous basis or is it as they request it as the site requested how does that work so our instructional coaches are assigned to schools and it is on a continuous basis if working with

the school sites there is something that does come up on that for that specific need then what is a workshop in a training then and support is created for them by any chance regarding the demographics of our students is there a in elementary school site with a high enrollment of English learners do you have that you can email

it to me miss varney okay because I think that if there is a school site that has a high student population that we need to provide greater support to the instructional coach and I don't have the exact number but I can tell you currently we have board and Borba and walnut or two of our school sites that

we do okay close attention and then do we only have one than one instructional coach on those campuses even with Emma graphic currently yes I have one assigned to each one in addition to elementary instructional coaches that are assigned to every school we also have additional instructional coaches that provide additional support services for our schools that have high

designations of English learners so yes okay so that was my concern if they only had one but they have a high demographic you you it would be unreasonable to expect quality staff development or on a can in US bases with just one instructional coach yes so they essentially have two additional instructional coaches are signed just to that school to those who

the deuce yes just the other night I was at preserve a community center and it was our Father teaching his child and he said he was a first grader and of course he was an English Learner but now I'm thinking of it if we could do more to communicate with our parents and get their input as to growth of our students

would be much more beneficial for the whole family and our schools - we do have representation for our staffs district office we have the CSA representation there and of course our teachers but our students whose their representation but it would be our parents so let's promote our more parental participations and and take their advices thank you that's it no other

12.1 outlines the procedure for anyone who wishes to file a complaint against a district employee the first speaker is Ilya Becca Lowe followed by Jacob Smith followed by Michaela Estrella so I think it's important to acknowledge the amount of people that came to support mr. Presque the students and their parents and there's just as many outside in the lobby because the room

simply couldn't fit them and I think in it of itself it already already shows the amount of people and the support that they have for mr. Prisca and the respect they have for him and how much they value his presence in the program and it's really no wonder because mr. pres he treats each student with equal respect and he's the type of teacher to

notice if the student is not feeling well and go up to them and ask hey is everything okay and maybe try to work it out and everyone supports him is wearing red right now you can see the sheer amount of respect and support that this program has for mr. Crist and I think a lot of people will miss him dearly

if he retires thank you so much this is all I wonder say thank you Jacob Smith followed by Mikhail Estrella followed by Sidney Reyes all right I don't have too much to say but I just want to explain all of us here we were shocked to our core to hear about the news of mr. Priss not coming

back next year and we weren't shocked because he's a good man which he is mr. prissy is one of the best men I have ever met before and he is a really really good man for many reasons and I'm sure many people will talk about that but it's that isn't the reason why all of us were shocked the reason we were shocked is

because he is a good teacher he taught all of us so much about theater expression everything about it and that really touched a lot of hearts and touched a lot of lives forever I've been in the theater program for years I've had many other theater teachers like in the past none of them are even close to mr. Priss

he used to be a paid actor and he knows the theater world inside and out so anyone if anyone is more qualified to teach theater at I all it's him just look at the productions that he's put this year amazing productions and if all these kids coming out to speak right here right now they're about to tell you how

their lives have been touched by this man he is a very very good man for many reasons because he lets us express ourselves and really really makes us find out who we really are and it's almost crucial to our growth as students as teenagers turning into adulthood acting on stage being in the theater industry it really shows you who you are

and I feel that is very important to all of us here and I think that we really need to realize how crucial he is because the former theater teachers here they've been ok and they've been good but none of them are even close to mr. Priss so that's all I have to say thank you thank you Kaela Estrella followed by Sydney Reyes

followed by Maya Terry good evening members of the board my name is Michaela stea and I am here on behalf of Ruben si yalla theater company and our teacher mr. Chris I would like to use my time given to speak about the opportunities mr. Prasad me and my fellow theater students over the course of this school year to begin mr. pris has offered me

many opportunities regarding my future I would like to work for Disney and he has excuse me he has offered me many opportunities to achieve this goal after I leave I ala from audition days to giving me valuable con contacts in the entertainment world mr. price will have my back as an educator mr. Chris has also attracted many Chino Hills High

students to I galas theater program he truly cares about his students by asking them every day how's your day been and sometimes it ends in us crying because it hurt like sometimes talking about your day nobody really asks about your day and when you're when a teacher who actually cares about you asks about how your day is you

end up in tears mr. Chris has a heart and he's a very big heart and he would his love of theatre it really shows and his love for his students it shows even even the parents are here the parents care about him and his students care about him he's just a really good man thank you Thank You Sydney Reyes by Maya Terry

followed by Lisa Terry good evening everyone my name is Sydney Reyes I like to take a moment to say thank you very much to the board and the council members for giving us their time as well as the community for allowing us to voice our opinions and let us express ourselves further so to start off I I went to Lyle s Briggs

elementary school for nine years and I was around the same group of kids the same group of ninety students my entire life growing up and as I grew up and went to Ayala high school almost all of my friends went to Don Lugo and I was one of the only people who did an inter-district transfer and went to

Ayala high school and when I arrived on campus I was really scared because I didn't know anyone yet and it was my first time trying something new in a very long time and as soon as I stepped into the theater room everyone opened me with accepted me with open arms and really gave me a second home and I've

done theater for nine years now so that's very fun um since I was seven years old and I frequent at Chino community theater just down the street there and I've done almost 20 productions there and I've learned so much from them and I felt so much respect from all of the teachers and everyone who have taught me so much in

life and I've been able to almost be an equal to them as I like camps with them as a counselor and I've also student directed plays and I feel that I know quite a bit about theater and I've learned so so many great people and going on to Ayala high school and getting to meet mr. pris I learned so

much more not only did the theater program gave me another family but mr. pris also found a different way instead of making theater so complicated and so calculated he just he knows how to make things simple it's the way it is he teaches us and he finds ways of things that we understand instead of making everything all

complicated and getting us all in our heads about getting everything perfect he lets us allow ourselves to not be perfect and to figure out who we are and truly express ourselves and that's why I think it would be a real shame if he wasn't there next year because I want to take theater next year and I'll be really sad if he's not there

so thank you very much for your time thank you Maya Perry good evening board I'm Maya Terry I've been in the theater program for since my freshman year I've been through this my third teacher now and I really don't want to have a fourth um mr. brisk was a professional actor he was on sag he manages a theatre right

now he has ins two people that we would never know and me along with a lot of people here we because of him were inspired I've turned into wanting to be a drama teacher for high school because of him he is so inspirational he has helped people in so many ways he actually cares he's paid 10 cents after

an hour after school gets out and he stays there until 8 o'clock at night sometimes more more just reeling us and getting the shows right until we're happy this is more than a loss this is more than a loss of a teacher this is a loss of a program like Sidney said we want to take Peter next year but if he's

not here I don't know what's going to be left mr. Peskin Lee knew about this because someone in the district told him about it apparently it was listed under an English teacher job and so no theatre teacher knew about it so no one really applied for it other than English teachers last year we had an English teacher and they can't teach the same

mr. priss has taught us more in the first three days of school than we learned for two three years it's shocking to see someone who cares so much and to do so much and to be so qualified being with us little high school kids instead of actually being a manager at his theater he's taken time out from there to help us um we're

reinstating National Testing Honor Society which is a very prestigious award Society for thespians and we're only doing that because he has inspired us to do it I'm hopefully going to be president of it and with that we can be more prestigious but we can't do that very well if we don't have a theatre teacher next year we're going to

Fullerton competitions with national testing our society there's special competition that we can go to to get scholarships and to get special offers he's a mentor to a lot of people he takes time for us he buys cup of noodles and forks for us and a little microwave so when we're hungry we can eat his food and that's

all of his own money today he just spent $300 on costumes because we don't get any funding from the school it we have never gotten a dime from the school we do all this on our own and I'm sure you know that three main stage productions takes a lot and I hope that you guys can see the gravity of this situation thank

you thank you Lisa Terry followed by Edward Cox followed by Sean Schneider hello thank you so much for listening to us I am Maya's mom I am the ILA theatre company booster president as well and as you know we're the ones that support and finance the theater program and we work so hard we have full-time jobs we come

home and my second full-time job are these kids I love these kids who have my tear forgive me I love them they're my kids I'm MoMA Terry to them the reason we want to talk to you is because when we learned that there was a possibility we're gonna lose mr. Prince this was absolutely horrifying to the students and the parents I have had more

parents tell me that they've seen the growth in their kids this year that they've never imagined their kids have matured they've developed into fine young adults and they are contributing this to mr. influence on their kids we cannot replace them you cannot hire another theater teacher to replace him that person I truly do not believe exists and so we're pleading with you to

ignore mrs. your boys recommendation and retain him next year because this program has made huge leaps this year we are bridging the gap between athletics and performing arts there's an actual physical division on this campuses you know and there's a psychological division this is trying to be bridged because of him we have athletes in place this year

and they're loving it this attitude of inequality and discrimination on this campus has we spoke with dr. Park last year she was very helpful and very understanding there is a true discrimination on this campus it is so sad that is between the organizations our Alice in Wonderland play poster at banner was up on the fence advertising our play and the Poly football put their

banner on top of ours and covered it up this is a psychological problem that is prevalent on a Halle campus and mr. Prince is the first person who's starting to create signs of maybe we started getting some unity on this campus which is vital to any campus regardless of what the program is unity is important and it's been lacking at

Ayala and he is the person who's creating this it is really important that theaters treated with the same equality respect the football is treated with we had to beg for buses yard way promises buses last year we knew she was lying dr. Park made sure we got a bus for our Fullerton theater competition because we as theater boosters we have

to pay for those buses they're very expensive just for an example for us to produce a production can cost us and up to three to five thousand dollars so that these kids can perform that money's only coming from us we worked so hard to raise it giving us the bus once in a while to help take these kids on an

educational trip is huge for their education and their development so we're asking for more equality on campus to give a little bit more to the Performing Arts even just give us buses every year to take our kids and our I don't know I'm at a time but one big concern we have we want to make sure theater is

going to be in the curriculum going in forward with some of the things we've seen happening and things taken away from theater at the ILA campus I know I'm at a time I can't tell you everything but we want to assurance that we're not gonna use that theater part lose the theater program because the things these kids learn thank you can

use the rest of their lives head work Edward Cox followed by Shawn Snyder followed by Kevin Buescher good evening members of the board first of all you probably realize I'm not a student but I must say how impressed I was by the students in their presentation and what they feel about mr. pres first of all let me tell you about my son Eddie Cox

who's sitting in the fact that he's probably gonna be very embarrassed by this but before he started his theater he was quiet and a little bit withdrawn it was very hard to get me conversation however since joining the theater he's become more confident and communicative he has a clear vision of the future academic objectives and career possibilities I'm proud of him now what

I've learned from my experience in school theater productions I can tell you that theaters not just about acting it requires a a wide range of skills and abilities not usually found in other academic or sporting activities as a visual arts subject it can be argued that this is one of the most effective and productive parts of the high school

curriculum look at the life skills it achieves confidence self-image oral communication skills problem-solving technical skills imagination and creativity memory enhancement trust in colleagues and Authority social awareness and conduct motivation commitment dedication cooperation and collaboration responsibility team-building leadership initiative and adaptiveness acceptance of rules and self-discipline the ability to learn quickly and correctly respect for colleagues and Authority the ability

to work under pressure time budgeting and meeting deadlines it's a goal orientated approach and it's a lot of fun an obvious conclusion is that these abilities and skills will prepare the student for virtually any career choice the question remains however is mr. pris producing and engendering these qualities is he up to scratch from all that I've heard and seen the answer is a

resounding yes yes demonstrated leadership dedication and support and is produced a motivated and well educated loyal group of students it would be a travesty not to renew mr. pres contract or to discontinue the theater curriculum thank you thank you [Music] Shawn Schneider odd by Kevin blue shirt followed by Roy shop wheezing I just can't see the light over there

good evening my name is Shawn Schneider and I'm a parent of two children and Butterfield Ranch we during closed session I read this letter but I just wanted to reread it to really reinforce my support or in my wife's support for dr. r choa this is Miss Marchbanks and mrs. Chavez at Butterfield Ranch elementary because they're exceptional

teachers we personally wish excuse me we personally witnessed their commitment to excellence in the classroom on numerous occasions and I just really wanted to take another moment to reiterate that our daughter is in the mrs. Marchbanks as class right now and consistently comes home every day with new enthusiasm for reading and learning mrs. Marchbanks is an amazing loving teacher and she's

involved in our PBIS program and she's in charge of the spelling bee also at our school teaching our children you know how to spell and how to be proud of their academic success my daughter is just I guess all I can say about Miss Marchbanks is I am indebted to her for her dedication to my daughter's education and she's an incredible

teacher now dr. Ochoa from day one he stepped up to and working with Butterfield Ranch and took over when we had lost a parent volunteer for a 100-mile Club teaching our students how to be actively being active you know he's he leads by example I'd say if I were to say anything he's he's a leader it's involved in our Green Team at at

the school which is a recycling program that helps teach our children about sustainability and respect for our environment he's an approachable relatable and the kids love and respect him he's also our school's only male teacher and studies show that for young boys to see a male role model in the front of the classroom it can positively influence their

development and we've seen this firsthand personally with my own son I really have now miss miss Chavez mr. Chavez pardon me she's not only a teacher at her school but on the PBIS committee as well and she's also a Butterfield Ranch elementary school mom before she became a bre teacher she was a bre PTA mom and heavily involved in

our school and its success she's a vested interest in seeing this school succeed not only from being a parent but also a teacher and she's devoted really to teaching our students how to be I want to say committed to their education but also to their peers in the learning environment so ultimately what I wanted to say again if I had just the moment is

that these teachers at Butterfield Ranch they really embody a lot of things but most importantly they embody the core mission vision and values I believe of the district here at Chino Valley Unified School District and I would I would just hope that you hear hear my words again I I wanted to just you and reiterate so thank you for your time

[Applause] Kevin Bush sure called by Roy Shaw pwesent followed by Amy de Smith hello board I really just encouraged with our school but if at a ranch with the new principal she's doing amazing work and we're really healing from all the tragedy that happened before this and it was going so well and then I'm so disappointed at

infield and mr. right decision to punish three amazing teachers I'm praying that the board members will make a good decision to save those teachers what reason do you justify to taking out three amazing teachers your job as a school board used to be the leadership and the check and balance with the superintendent to make sure when he

makes a bad call that you call him on that and look at the actual facts these teachers live in American have rights they have the rights to freedom of speech just like every American should have they should not be punished for talking but these three teachers were not speaking out I have no idea of why and those teachers

have no idea why we need to have everybody understand that when students are in need in distress you help them because it doesn't just help that student it helps the teachers it helps the school it helps all the other students that are in that room so ultimately one a safe learning environment for everybody we have a giant victim list at our school we have

mr. Bennett who wasn't supported or counselor and ultimately over a year the parent things were not going correctly and needed help miss BC did not get supported there was no aid in the room till two weeks before the incident happened there was no be real support there was no training she was in urgent care without supports the

two teachers miss curry and handus that were in teacher Jail I'm assuming for speaking up I don't know why the students not getting in the aid sooner and not getting all the helps they need I really want us to move on to the positive message but I really want you to hear the first positive messages thanks for the superintendent for

spending an hour and a half the other day and 35 minutes this morning talking with me about what things we can do to improve this and fortunately this bad news really hit us hard and kinda is hard for me to give this positive message at this point but I'm happy to learn about his brief Academy that really pulls kids out and for 10 weeks

really focus on what's going on with that kid that's an amazing program but we need to get that you know furthered we needed more kids in the program we need to prove the process to help these wonderful kids we they're crying out for attention and help they're not crying out and throwing things because they're bad kids they're throwing things because

they need attention and help these kids need help we help the kids we help the teachers we help the school this is very clearly a situation where that kid was not being supported the teacher was not being supported we didn't want Bennett to actually leave we wanted Bennett to be able to be counselor dand worked with we worked

trying to take anybody out we got called an angry mob but we weren't an angry mob we were out there very cordially laughing and having a wonderful time discussing things that kind of this school get the parents back thank you joy shock reason followed by a Meade estimate followed by Deborah Woolery good evening guess I just want to really

thank you for the opportunity to come before you and be a voice for our children oh it's not my voice that I want you to hear that's not my name that I want you to know and it's not any particular teacher that I want to speak for because I'm sure that as you all know you've gone through things to get in the

position that you've been and every day I tell my children going to your best son and I got two kids that I love dearly just as each of these parents do I said each of your parents did you know and I just want you if you can to do that basic premise that we all learned put yourself in the other person's shoes

when you're thinking of this don't think from the position that you've already had and I don't want to come accusing anybody because you know I don't know all the facts what I do know is I have two children I love I want to have the opportunities that I've been afforded this is a great country I love our

community and that's what we're fighting for we're not fighting for ourselves we're fighting for the community so the next generation can have the community we love where we live and we wanted to remain it's important that we have the energy and and the vibe of being together it shouldn't be you know parents against you know any particular board member or anything of

that nature all I care about is that the voices that are heard are hurt with with the intent to be hurt and listened to no predispositions no meanings I want to accomplish this all we want to accomplish is what's fair what's just what is right I named my son justice because I want to have a just okay I

took it from the Bible because I didn't want to think of the name I let God do it I tried to tell him everyday do your best I don't want to tell him do your best son I lost both teachers I have a third grader than a fifth grader mr. Hernandez and mr. I've kept their minds right I've kept

them out of all the things you know my my son came to me one day and he told me that if somebody told me that mr. Bennett it just wants to replace the teachers with young teachers I didn't have anything against the man I didn't agree with everything but I knew that was false and I was upset at my fellow

community for letting that one of the children say that because that's all of our responsibilities what I care about is giving them a chance to have a fair evaluation of adults I don't want them to look at adults and say hey my teacher left and she wasn't willing to fight but she didn't get to say bye I don't

they're all wondering what's going on just as we all are nobody knows what happened that's the hardest part maybe you do maybe you don't maybe there's a just reason that we don't know about it's not that's neither here nor there what matters is the kids come first I read this thing several times when I came in here several times

I'm sure you guys read it I hope you don't walk past it every how do you thought you do I think you're all here because you care because your parents make it that way our life it says right here yes that that's the only thing that matters ten seconds left thank you Amy Desmet followed by Debra Woolery followed by a net Demi good

evening I've spoke at the last two board meetings on behalf of my daughter's kindergarten teacher who did not receive the support she needed to deal with the behavior of problems of a child in her class during the closing comments of the meeting on February 6 2020 miss Irene Hernandez Blair questioned why the board had not heard anything regarding the

issues with this child's behavior prior to January 2020 board meeting well I cannot speak for other parents with children in that classroom I personally waited until January because I was giving mr. Bennett a chance to handle the situation following our conversation in December in addition January is when I first heard several teachers at Butterfield were requesting transfers due to a lack of support they

were receiving from mr. Bennett since my daughter's teachers seemed to be a prime example of this lack of support I thought I should speak on her behalf I'm a firm believer and following a chain of command and giving everyone a fair chance to do their job I had contacted my children's teacher several times since the beginning of the school

year regarding this child hitting and punching my daughter this teacher had done her best to keep my daughter safe by separating her from this child in the classroom and I had spoke to my goddaughter regarding how to behave around the child and an effort to avoid future incidents however in early December this child hit my daughter leaving a

mark on her arm because he thought she was laughing at him at this point I knew more needs to be done to protect my child I notified my daughter's teacher that I was going to speak to mr. Bennett about this child's behavior her teacher forwarded my message to mr. Bennett and I received a call from him first thing

the following morning although mr. Bennett wasn't able to tell me anything due to confidentiality laws he did say the school was working on the issue with the child and thanked me for reaching out to him several hours later I spoke to my daughter's teacher and she was unaware of my conversation with mr. Bennett I would think a parent's concerns

regarding a student's behavior in the classroom and the safety of their child would be something a principal would immediately discuss with the teacher mr. Bennett spent a lot of time in this teacher's classroom and superintendent and field gave the impression he was familiar with this child's behavioral issues at the end of the January 2020 board meeting when James not asked him

to look into the issue with this child and he stated we're working on this with HR if mr. Enfield was aware of the behavioral issues with the child why were the board members not informed is it the parents job to inform the board of these situations or did someone at the district's failed to communicate these issues last weekend the champion

newspaper published another article about Butterfield Ranch elementary and the allegations against my daughter's teacher once again it was mentioned state laws limit the actions that can be taken by a school district while subdivision K of Education Code 48 900 prohibits the suspension of a child in kindergarten through third grade for disrupting school activities or willful defiance of teachers and administrators

I believe this child should have been classified under subdivision a which states a people shall not be suspended from school or recommended for expulsion unless the superintendent or the principal of the school in which the pupil is enrolled determined that pupil has committed and acts as defined pursuant to any of the subdivisions a through R a one cause attempted to cause

or threatened to cause physical injury to another person a to willfully used force for violence upon the person of another except thank you good evening I'm here tonight to share with you at an amazing journalism program exists at dawn legal high school over the years the quest new student reporters have done some great things and I wonder how

much our board district and community really know I mean truly know just how fantastic this program in their advisory mrs. anete Demi are they are actively involved in scholastic journalism and participate in national writing competitions every year they are the only journalism program in our district that has a national award-winning advisor and certificated journalistic educator the community and board should

know that mrs. Deming attends two national conventions a year and that she judges the National Writing Competition is also asked to present journalism curriculum assessment strategies in classroom cultural strategies to other journalism advisors across the nation recently quest news has had the first student reporter and photographer submit a story to the Chino champion and the champion agreed to publish their first

ever student piece on our student Press Freedom Day event the event required the quest news reporters to unite an entire campus in a demonstration of their right to free speech by publicly voting on nine controversial issues the experience was a fun one the quest news was personally congratulated by the student press Law Center in Washington DC the

very next day but there's more mrs. diamond got her student journalist involved with the mentoring program supported by the Los Angeles Times this is an online mentoring program where the LA Times is interested and how the news is told from high schools or high schoolers perspective at Don Lugo there are seven reporters and one photographer who have

signed up to be a part of the mentoring program in hopes of being published in five months five student journalists have been published by the LA Times High School Insider six times let me repeat that because it is so fantastic our Don Lugo journalism students have been published by the LA Times six times Gary Garcia Edward Lillie

Aidan Deming Kathy Ortiz Valerie Torres have all been published with the help of their photographers to sly Ibaka and their editors Diego Cruz and Anthony wouldn't say what's so amazing about this opportunity is that it comes with direct feedback from the editors of the LA Times and four times a year they meet with their LA Times editors face to face our

students are learning how to network with industry professionals and they are becoming to journalists there are personal relationships established and fostered by mrs. dimming which was yet another testimony to mrs. Demings work with the students mrs. dimming is providing a remarkable opportunity for our students for those students who are for your university Banshees dim illumination and real-world

platform to express their passions while demonstrating two very necessary skills writing and communication I have heard people in the community say if you want to go to engineering go to don logo if you want to go into aggregate science go to don logo for that and i said confidently say that the community of Chino should also be saying if you want

to go to journalism you go to Don will go for that thank you [Applause] real quick before you start please we have reached actually exceeded our 30 minutes for the non agenda items we have three speakers left if I could ask for consensus from the war time yes thank you well thank you very much I actually my

name is Annette dummy and I'm the advisor request news Thank You Debbie Willa reading for those very very nice words about myself and my program I am extremely proud of those student journalists I'm even more proud of God I love those kids the program that we've built at at bond logo so I just wanted to make sure that

journalists that have been published with the Los Angeles Times as well as hyperlinks for every story that's been published that goes directly to the Los Angeles Times so I'm excited to share that with you thank you very much Thank You Kyle Cramer followed by the final speaker Cynthia Moran hello I'm Kylee Kramer from ayala and I'm here to advocate for mr. pristine as

my theater teacher this is my first year out of public school and coming in I was freaked out because you know private public and my one thing I wanted to do was be in theater and I've done sports my whole life I've never done theater once and come in I didn't know if I was going to get a teacher that would

understand me and understand that I needed help and I needed to get where I need to be now and coming in when I first met mr. pris he was the nicest person I have met probably in my entire life he was just so genuine to me and coming in he really really welcomed me and I play softball

so he gets around my schedule because I'm in the newest musical Beauty and the Beast and I my games and my practices they go over time so he scheduled he schedules times for me just for me to practice and rehearse with him so I can get where I need to be and I've never met anyone that has put so much effort

in to working with me and I just think it's ridiculous that because of a couple intro classes that he's gonna be fired because they don't know how to act and I just think he's just a great teacher and just needs to be with us I wouldn't want anyone else being my theater teacher and that's all I got to say thank you

Schurr yes thank you good evening president Schafer board members dr. Enfield cabinet and community and staff so tonight's presentation is on a joint

venture to build a new district office on some property that we own in exchange for a long term ground lease also on some property we own so this presentation will take you through past history up to where we are today when I say past history this goes back 33 years I started here thirty years ago and I

heard rumblings of it back then but it's always just been you know rumors and rumblings and nothing more so background information beginning in nineteen in late 1980s from 1987 to 1994 the school district Bannock experiencing exponential housing growth which drove the need for additional schools odd land acquisition and capital facilities corporations were created and the district land bank was born

utilizing certificates of participation the district purchased two hundred and thirty three acres of land throughout Chino Joan Hills and South Ontario and LAN was banked for future school sites and a new district administrative office during this time period the district belt built 1200 schools and those schools were Briggs k-8 Butterfield ranch cattle elementary country Springs Elementary Eagle Canyon elementary

hidden trails elementary Lydell Elementary Oak Ridge Elementary rolling original mentary Canyon hills and Townsend junior high schools as well as I out high school however the new district office site in its present location four years prior to the land purchase in 1989 never moved forward beyond conceptual drawings and the rumors that we always heard that a little bit history on this current

district office location several of the buildings housing district offices were built in the late 1930s and previously served as classroom wings library multi-purpose room and gymnasium for Chino high school the room were in today used to be the multi-purpose room the DES all next door was the gymnasium and then you can as you drive by on Riverside Drive you can kind of see what

looks like classroom wings where some of our other departments are additionally we've got 12 buildings were formerly used as adult school classrooms those are all portable buildings and then one of our buildings known as the san diego building was previously used as a bank building in the city of san diego and the district purchased it in the

nineteen seventies some of our offices are also located from 1995 through 2005 the district built an additional six schools on properties that were acquired through the land bank and those six schools are chaparral elementary Lydell elementary Rhodes elementary Whitman elementary Woodcrest junior high school and Chino Hills High School the district received 100% reimbursement for the cost of the

land from the state for those for those six schools and the money that was that came in from the state was used to pay down the COP debt just last month January 2020 we made our final payment on the CL PS and we no longer have that 2006 to present now a little more recent history in 2006 and district in the

developer discussed the feasibility of a developer built district office building on the 13 and 3/4 acre parcel land bank parcel on your venire in Chino due to the economic downturn those discussions came to a halt in 2011 with the recession over and growing economy developer interest in the same property started to grow in late 2017 we were approached by a

developer regarding a joint use project in which the developer would lease the yorba property from the district and in turn construct a new district office building for the district due to education code and legal requirements we could not proceed with this type of venture without seeking open and public publicly requested proposals so in 2018 we issued a formal

request for proposals or RFP for a new new developer built district office building on Ramona Avenue between Buena Vista High School and professional development centers one and two in exchange for a long term ground lease of the 13 and 3/4 acre corporate property RFP 18 1907 was published in champion publications in August of 2018 seeking proposals from qualified parties for the

development and joint occupancy of a total of 18 and a quarter acres commonly known as the Orpah property and the Ramona property more specifically and in accordance with California Education Code section 17 515 and at no cost to the district when I say no cost zero nada zilch or the terms that always come to mind the successful respondent will

design and construct a new 60,000 square foot two-story office building on Ramona Avenue between us previously mentioned between wayna Vista and our professional development centers and in exchange the successful respondent will enter into a 66 year ground lease of the orbit property and will build at their cost a 300 thousand square foot warehouse building which they will in turn lease

out to a third party in response to the RFP the district received proposals from five different developers district staff carefully reviewed and ranked each proposal and we've now successfully negotiated with Z Beck building companies to move this project forward at no cost to the district Seebeck building company and their architect where Malcolm Architects will design and construct a new 60,000 square foot

two-story office building for uses district administrator offices on the Ramona property in exchange the district and Z bet will enter into a 66 year ground lease on the Ora property and see back at their own cost will build a 300 thousand square foot warehouse building which they will in turn release out to a third party the agreements there's three

of them and they're thick we've got the joint occupants agreement which allows Z BEC access to our Ramona property and it allows them to construct the new office building for the district there's a construction services agreement and the Sprint it's really small apologize for that that lists the agreed-upon requirements of Z BEC for the construction of the district office

project and then the ground lease agreement spells out requirements of Z BEC and the 66-year ground lease of the orbit property and the construction of the warehouse building now we get into the good stuff so these are the properties in question we've got Ramona Avenue on the west Yorba Avenue on the east Buena Vista High School on the South

special development centers 1 & 2 on the north this is the 13 and 3/4 acre Yorba property and then the four and half acre Ramona property between Lena Vista and PDC 1 & 2 the new district office building located on Ramona Avenue will go in that slot there and then the warehouse buildings that Seebeck would build could go on

Ramona I'm sorry on the orbit Avenue and then this is a site plan kind of a rough draft of the building the district office building on Ramona Avenue includes a new board room that seats 162 people want to attend I said they're not overflowing out into the hall hopefully as well as offices for a number of our

departments and then these following are just architectural renderings from where Malcolm which is Z Beck's architects and with that we open it up to any questions thank you for the presentation mr. chair are there any questions or comments from the board okay before we do that may I have a motion so moved second now are there any comments or questions

that's gone yeah thank you for the presentation so first I just want to confirm because this sounds too good to be true that this is going to happen at no cost to the district that's correct I'm elated to hear that because I cannot tell you how many people don't come down here because they get lost in the maze

that is this district office and I think that it should be a place where people walk in and feel welcome and can at least navigate to where they need to go so very excited that we're able to make this happen I it's been a long time coming I've been here it'll be eight years right and I've been hearing about

this for eight years so I I'm glad that at some point staff everyone will have a better place to report to work because these bungalows in the back aren't very appealing and there's only so much sprucing up that you know can be done so I look forward to the finished project whenever that may be but thank you for all of your time and

effort that you've expended on this because it has been several years in the making and the timeline is approximately two years from board approval okay thank you mister not yeah I just like to pitch in one thing as we are drawing the plan I like to see and include a space that could be used by students to hold their

club meetings etc because sometimes their access is very limited and if we could make a focal point so where we can have lots of students together and work Klunk meetings I think that would be very beneficial Thank You mr. Cruz yeah you know I like to you know dream on you know as a child wishing these certain

things would happen and knowing the bit the function the business will be moved over there so perhaps this place maybe a parcel of land that B can be utilized and you know one thing that I think about you know would it be nice to create a ice hockey rink always think about that you never know right we'll

Morelle Hillary if you want to go to jerk journalism go to Don Lupo and she's actually corrected and that's pretty amazing publish six times in LA Times that is quite phenomenal good job the gentleman who spoke eloquently about the varying skills learned in drama thank you for

advocating the drama program and the teacher mr. Nam yes I also like to thank Google okay a hussam teacher and paper that you put so much so much hours working so appreciate that and thank you and here I Allah heís to himself thank you I love you guys all of you for being here yes the positiveness of participation

includes making somebody President of the United States Ronald Reagan remember he was an actor before so yeah I think you guys are on the right trade and and I like to ask dr. Anfield we need to show a commitment and support for this program at Ayala and I I think they are very talented students we have here you

know having them worry about passing that is really good that doesn't sit with me well so let's make sure they have the best support from the list from the district side first and and and if there's anywhere that we could meet and help out with just the school site - I like to be there and for them so could

you please have somebody to go to school and and support them thank you yeah you show up and it happens not not the things that that we can't do but we define what is there for us to do they need to be there for you because we have to always remind ourselves where an adult to to love our children you guys

are kids so thank you for your compassion especially for your teacher I don't know about the results but when you have a respect for teachers it goes long way through up your lifetime raise your family everything matters when you show respect your teachers let's move on to numbers I have here number 2 I'm talking about BR eak um or

a field yeah it wasn't pretty picture wasn't all happy all the parties involved but I mean we need to focus on something after after a big flood you know what I'm going to do about this in the future if we just cracks our head and bleeds and put patches and until the next time Thompson cracks our head again

and in other patches that's not what we should do I like to ask dr. Enfield to bring out our policy review against bullying against fellow students and especially for our teachers and staffs and adults that should not be there I believe the Sacramento people are meeting meeting meeting and wasting our time to her our schools and our students

in our family so having our students here I have a hope in you guys so you could be a change they're there to bring out the sick sad that that they need to be fixed but with alter motives and how they balance the budget if you know the detail it's terrible how we get the money how you

distribute it among different districts it's not about supporting the goodness it's wrong so I'd like to have that review if session as a possible if we need to have that or as an information item so we could regurgitate and get those community support to strengthen our district policy against bullying a little ones and and protecting the classroom setting and protecting our

teachers there's no way we could hurt teachers how could you imagine if you had your parents being hurt I can't sleep night knowing that our teachers are preachers they help us to grow they'll help us to become somebody and this our society now the sacramental people say do not respect them know the rain falls from the sky it doesn't go from the

ground up so we need to go back to the basics and let's fight against the bullying and protect our kids from Sacramento and lastly our security personnel finally receiving the vests to protect themselves so they could protect us and I like to see it in more in a faster manner because some of people are waiting and I like to have dr. Anfield

talk to doc department head and make sure that happens so that they'll be protected and they could protect our teachers our principals and our students I think that's that's kind of my urgent message that I was thinking but overall I like to thank everybody even the parents who showed up four teachers from different schools and programs because

it shows that you we care we could be watching TV right now but you're all here that means a lot for me me got elected I had no choice to show up but you guys are wonderful I like to thank teachers and principals and imagine principals have one classroom to manage 30 40 kids what about the principal's take a

thousand two thousand kids so they're causing an alert system where when I would visit campuses I wouldn't even have a time to talk to them because their mind is going so fast so whenever you see our principals and teachers you thank them this is my report for tonight mr. nan Dez I've heard from a few teachers regarding the measure G

modifications that have been made to their classrooms and the concerns that they have that they aren't what they had recommended or suggested and that they aren't functional for the classroom so what I wanted to know was whether there was a mechanism for them to provide their input it may be a little too late since the modifications have been made

but they're feeling as though all the time and effort that they spent submitting their input was all for naught and so now they have these classrooms that have been modified they they look really nice but they're saying that it just isn't functional do we have a mechanism so that they can provide input and and perhaps there's an

opportunity to make changes so that it is something that is functional for the needs of each classroom do we have anything like that mr. stager yes we do we we do have the site meetings typically not involving teachers or the support staff but we do meet with the principals and and they have always provided input that they've

gathered from their staff it's unfortunate that not everything can always be implemented all the ideas that we receive because there are some the come way out in left field right but you know we we do try to to take everything into consideration if you can give me examples maybe later I can look into waiting for the specifics from the

school sites that have the concerns and then I'll forward them to you but I just wanted to make sure that I didn't bypass or that they didn't bypass who their contact was so if it should still be the principal then all route them back to the principal I didn't know whether it because it was related to measure G that

we had a different protocol for that but if it is still their principal I'll route them to the prince of vulture okay one thing one thing we do try to do too is you know we're not building a custom site for every school site there's got to be some some parody so once I may want you know another site doesn't want but we

try to make a blend of everything so you know they're all getting something similar okay thank you and I'll forward that to you there are just two things that I wanted to share this saturday chino branch library is having their grand reopening and the first hundred people to attend will receive bags I guess city of Chino bags so they will

have this grand reopening from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday the 22nd additionally the Festival of the Arts is being held at Magnolia junior high school February 25th from 6 to 8 and February 26 from 5 to 7 and I encourage the community to support the Arts in addition to supporting our Yala you know drama students it's also

important to support at the junior high level because then they seek you know to it to participate in in the arts at high school level and that is all I happen thank you first of all I'd like to thank everyone that came tonight I appreciate all the students who showed up I'm sure you have tests and everything else

you're preparing for but I appreciate that you came and whenever students come up and speak at the Dyess I'm some of you definitely weren't nervous clearly the drama program is working for you but I understand speaking in front of adults is it can be overwhelming I also I think the parents that came tonight you guys have been taking your time to

communicate the issues at your school sites and I appreciate that I have a brief comment we clearly have been having issues at Butterfield Ranch Elementary and an investigation has been launched and one of my goals is that we conduct a thorough investigation it's a disservice to everybody involved primarily the students which is my concern and running for this office in

the first place is that we are concerned about student safety and student well-being but we are in the middle of an Station so investigations take time and I wouldn't want to do a cursory investigation and wrap this up in a week and say guess what you know here's what happened or didn't happen and not give the team that's investigating the time

to talk to all the parties who were involved get the facts straight and come up with a determination for moving forward because regardless of what happened clearly there are some issues that emerge clearly there could have been addressed a different way we have to move forward and my hope it with an investigation is that we have a lessons

learned and we have an action plan for moving forward so I have received many phone calls and many emails you know all over the map on issues at Butterfield Ranch issues at other school sites and I just want to address that the reason I am not addressing some of these emails is that there's an active investigation and I don't want to I'm

not gonna hide behind privacy and confidentiality I spend my entire life as a lawyer doing that so I don't need to keep doing it up here but I do want to make clear that I just want to give time for the investigation for the teachers involved for the students involved for the parents involved that way we come to adjust resolution and

have a real plan moving forward because my fear is that if we don't take our time we're gonna overlook another issue it's gonna roll into the rest of the school year the following school year and we're back here again having the same conversation because we didn't address an outstanding issue so I just want to acknowledge that you know I am

aware of what you're saying I'm reading all your emails I'm getting phone calls you know I appreciate you approaching us outside of the board meetings I'm trying to respect the process if the process doesn't work then it's my job to upend the process but as of right now there is an investigation going it's been going on for a couple of weeks having

participated in investigations in my line of work doing something for a couple weeks is not gonna get all the results so I'm sure things will happen incrementally through the next couple of weeks that will satisfy some of the concerns but I just want to address that because I don't think that has been addressed and again I'm not trying to

avoid questions but we were elected sometimes to make hard decisions I could come up here and tell you everything you wanted to hear but then I'm not doing a service to everybody and sometimes people are getting mad at me and times they're not so I do appreciate everybody coming again I know not all the decisions we're gonna make in this

in other situations are going to make everyone happy but I do want to make sure that at the end of this for the rest of the school year I Butterfield Ranch and for the next year we don't commit the same mistakes and I think that's utterly important for the students and student stability thanks everyone and have a good night thank you

okay I would like to thank everyone that came tonight the parents students and please remember just because something might not happen or happened immediately doesn't mean that we didn't hear you and doesn't mean that action isn't being taken there are a lot of different parts that go into a lot of these decisions and we are our job as the board to

ensure that we're looking at all of those pieces and making a decision based on the complete package so to speak and not just one side so again just because you might not see action right away or hear from us right away doesn't mean that it's not being addressed just a couple of things during the last couple weeks I attended visited

a couple of school sites country Springs and Levi's Dickey like to thank mr. McAfee and dr. studio for their time especially like to thank the staff and the students for demonstrating all the great things that are going on on our campuses missing I'll touched on our student to government day that was on February 13th I'd like to put a thank
