this slide depicts the district's three lcap goals and the eight state priorities within each goal today we will focus on goal two state priority three parent involvement the metrics for goal two are considered local metrics and are reported as met not met or not met for two years we continue to score met on this metric as well as all of our

UNKNOWN 0:03:38

other local metrics districts use the self-reflection tool to report its progress on the local performance indicator to educational partners and the public and now i would like to introduce the director of access and equity dr stacy ayers good evening this parent and family engagement self-reflection tool focuses on three particular areas the first one relates to building relationships between staff

UNKNOWN 0:04:13

and families the second area focuses on building partnerships for student outcomes and the third area relates to seeking input for decision making this year the team that did this reflection and ranking were the educational partners who participate in the community engagement initiative this diverse group is composed of four parents two community partners staff from the hope center two

UNKNOWN 0:04:41

principals one assistant principal two site community liaisons one district community liaison our family engagement coordinator and myself the director of access and equity the purpose of the cei group is to build capacity in school districts and to facilitate difficult conversations that focus on improving the outcomes for our students they also identify effective models for community engagement while using metrics

UNKNOWN 0:05:15

to evaluate those models therefore we felt this was an established group that had a good pulse on the parent engagement programs district-wide this is the rating scale for implementation in order to complete the reflection tool the district must determine the current stage of implementation practices for those three categories on the parent and family engagement reflection tool this team used this reflection scale

UNKNOWN 0:05:49

that is set forth by the state to focus on the status of our implementation a one on the rating scale would be an area that a district has not started implementation yet in this rating a district would be identifying a need for change learning about possible innovations or maybe even providing solutions learning about what it takes to

UNKNOWN 0:06:14

implement an innovation effectively or deciding to proceed or not in a rating of a two this would mean that the district is securing and developing the need for support looking for a new approach or practice and including the beginning development of teams to support the future implementation a ranking of a three is a district that is in the first use

UNKNOWN 0:06:40

of a new action by practitioners or others that are just learning about the new action typically this defines year one of implementation full implementation is the skillful use of a practice that is well integrated into the repertoire of some of the staff and is routinely and effectively supported by district and site administration a five means full implementation and

UNKNOWN 0:07:07

sustainability this occurs when most of the organization is implementing the action and is sustainable regardless of the leadership that is in charge in order to determine these rankings the cei team looked at the corresponding k-12 insight data and analyzed the strengths and future opportunities for each activity to come up with the following rankings for the first section related to

UNKNOWN 0:07:38

building relationships between staff and families this first set of activities these were the rankings that will be reported to the california dashboard in the following areas progress in developing the capacity of staff to build trusting and respectful relationships with families 4. progress in creating welcoming environments for all families 4. progress in supporting staff to learn about families strengths cultures

UNKNOWN 0:08:08

languages and goals for their children 4. progress in developing multiple opportunities to engage in two-way communication between families and educators using language that is understandable and accessible to families four this next set of activities relate to building partnerships for student outcomes progress in providing professional learning and support to improve a school's capacity to partner with families for

share the results of the family engagement reflective tool at this time we are happy to provide answers to any questions you may have thank you so much for the presentation are there any questions or comments from the board mr schaefer first of all thank you very much for the presentation and keeping us updated on our lcap goals

UNKNOWN 0:10:35

um when we look at in all of these in our self-evaluation tools is there any implications to the district to our students for being at a four not a five yeah so the the difference between a four and a five is really time right there are some things that we have started to implement as a district but it really

UNKNOWN 0:11:00

relates to having more time for sustainability and that it becomes part of the system that as i leave as miss fellows leaves those systems still stay in place regardless of the leadership that is in charge okay so it's not necessarily that we're not doing something right or that we've identified a problem it's just more a matter of time and making sure that

UNKNOWN 0:11:23

the process is sustainable yes gotcha okay thank you other comments or questions mr nell yeah i'd just like to thank uh our parents uh mr richard wales sonya singh and sonia shaw for your inputs and and they're all positive and they were so happy that uh with our new leadership we have a greater hope of reaching out to more

UNKNOWN 0:21:01

twice since when is this class taught in seventh grade my other children were offered this course in high school which i opted them out of because it was inappropriate for many reasons i am shocked once again that this district state that continually push this on younger and younger children at what point are you going to stop trying to

UNKNOWN 0:21:25

take our children's innocence away from them california and this district continue to overstep parental rights and boundaries why can't you teach nutrition exercise and first aid leave topics like this where it belongs in the hands of the parents thank you thank you [Applause] sonia shaw followed by oscar avila followed by rudy krauss good evening dr enfeld board and

UNKNOWN 0:22:03

community there's so much happening all around us there's so many controversial subjects causing division throughout california and unfortunately we can all see that it trickles down into our district my sincere hope is to see healthy discussions it increase and that we can create ways to find more common ground yesterday mr gnaw dr enfield and i were able to sit down

UNKNOWN 0:22:24

together it was encouraging to be able to take an opportunity to talk about some issues as we have in the past dr enfield mentioned that he put the crt ethnic study discussion item on the agenda to inform the community and board members about the process of any implementation he informed me that he plans to have a committee formed like

UNKNOWN 0:22:42

there was on the sex ed curriculum so that many viewpoints can be considered as they work on it he said that the way that sex ed was put together was the reason they had no complaints i do know personally that parents have opted their children out i truly feel parents want and should have a seat at the table as we continue

UNKNOWN 0:23:01

to strive to be proactive as a unit communication has been something our community members feel is lacking and we are still hoping for the changes that we have advocated for since last may we have asked some questions about spending and funds received and we hope to get an answer soon i also want to mention about the late

UNKNOWN 0:23:18

start bill our our team is actively still working on that as we have when we first found out about it i also have a call that is scheduled for tomorrow with the department of education so if you guys have any guidance or wisdom on that to be able to try to get a waiver still because it's going to cause a lot of pain for our

UNKNOWN 0:23:38

families in our community i'm still willing to listen to that because we are actively seeking help from the state with that one we do look forward to many conversations and roundtable meetings on topics of concern and we hope that that can continue without the division and being shut out thank you very much thank you oscar oscar avila followed by

UNKNOWN 0:23:59

rudy krauss followed by jennifer bart now is my good evening board is uh i just wanted to come in uh no complaints i'm happy to be here today happy to see your faces you guys look a lot better without masks now you can wear them if you want that's fine but um as you know a few weeks ago the governor removed the

UNKNOWN 0:24:30

mandates for the schools for the kids so you know most of the kids are not wearing a mask some kids are that's fine just this week uh the courts uh you know removed the cdc's uh mandatory mast and airplanes and trains you know or travel and uh you know uh people are happy some or not and what it was is uh they

UNKNOWN 0:24:48

removed the mandates they didn't remove mass you could wear them if you want to uh they remove the mandates people are upset so i think that's just a separate direction where we're going the way we should be going remember this country was founded on freedom right personal freedom uh we have we have all our god-given rights the first amendment

UNKNOWN 0:25:05

we have the uh the bill of rights you know and in the bill of rights we have due process you know people can't force you to do anything they can't force you to eat something drink something take something be a guinea pig or nothing so um i just commend board you know for kind of you know going along with it i

UNKNOWN 0:25:18

know that uh really none of you guys did anything but for you guys to uh to push against us but uh uh you know it's gonna happen again probably i mean we live in some dark times and you know they are kind of mumbling things and i know that government likes control so i'm going to say that when it happens again you guys

UNKNOWN 0:25:35

be brave you know fight for us fight for our kids you know our kids are in school they're happier and what happens when you remove masks it removes tension you know you know uh you know my friend here jim right he looks way better without a mask on you know i love this guy right so what it is

UNKNOWN 0:25:49

is when you remove all these obstacles all these dividing factors people get along so let's try to work together and if there's something some kind of bug or something that happens let's let's work at it like adults you know i mean i mean when you were a kid your mother you know made you blow your nose if you sneeze

UNKNOWN 0:26:04

you coughed i mean there are common such things i think that we forgot over the last two years so let's be adults let's be good to each other we all live here i love the city of chino i love i love the city i love the school district that's why i'm here you know i came from a a

UNKNOWN 0:26:19

UNKNOWN 0:26:39

hello my name is rudy krauss i'm a writer artist scientist i've written origin of the species homo sapien vaccinicus human covid virus parasite symbiote the whole issue of covid centers around covid is an anaerobic virus anaerobic means without oxygen aerobic means with oxygen when you mask you deprive yourself of oxygen and feed the parasite that's inside of you covet is

UNKNOWN 0:27:19

an anaerobic virus parasite all virus are parasites the cdc is wrong been wrong you all been wrong you don't know basic science the fact the cdc pushes mass and fouchy and every scientist in the world has not stated except for me that covid is an anaerobic virus i'm going to be nominated for a nobel prize i'm not joking because

UNKNOWN 0:27:49

when you wear a mask you decrease your oxygen that feeds the parasite the reason you're not wearing mass now is for political but what they did was they increased the spread of covid they increased the infection and the reproduction of covid because they pushed an anaerobic virus this word anaerobic without oxygen i knew from the start why because

UNKNOWN 0:28:18

covered would deoxify the blood cells if it was aerobic it wouldn't deoxify the blood cells i knew from day one now i've got 180 000 words that explain this in 300 illustrations now it's a parasite we know it's a parasite because dr maday photographed the just so happened i illustrated it a year before she photographed it and it looks exactly the

UNKNOWN 0:28:47

same it's a coveted virus parasite this is what the what is in the vaccine this is what they shot into all of the people that took the vaccine you shot the entire genome of this covid virus parasite into your dna we now need to have a new species act because you are not the same as me i don't have this parasite in me all 15

UNKNOWN 0:29:14

000 genes you do it's bonding to your dna it's it's decoding and re-encoding your stem cells you cannot kill this these are immortal stem cells they don't die they don't deteriorate like my stem cells do after 40 years you're not gonna you try to kill this you will kill yourself if you got the vaccine now thank you

UNKNOWN 0:29:43

thank you jennifer bartnell followed by heather peary followed by bernadette mendez good evening oh it's time to go good evening board members um i don't know that i have anything major major to address but i've had a lot of things on my mind regarding trying to find some resolutions and bring some truth to light recently i've just seen a lot of attacks

UNKNOWN 0:30:26

mostly on social media against one another and i don't understand why we're getting attacks on concerned parents students and members of our community we've got all kinds of name calling right wing radicals trump sycophants my personal favorite q and on conspiracy theorists implying that we are awful people for trying to protect our children because we don't want to fill

UNKNOWN 0:30:49

their impressionable minds with propaganda or misleading narratives why is it even a question that we have to preserve their innocence and just let our kids be kids the whole it takes a village to raise our kids only applies to our individual family units not in public education as said it starts at home yes but we don't send our children for to school

UNKNOWN 0:31:12

for you guys to raise them we send them for you to teach them about science and math and biology not transgender we have no interest in co-parenting with you guys i am well aware of the role of the teachers unions especially in california and it's unfortunate but they are responsible for perpetuating the propaganda the lies and the radical

UNKNOWN 0:31:37

agendas on our teachers principals and school boards because of that we have the same people insisting that they know what's best and they know our children better than we do and then they have the audacity to trash talk the parents and families that pay their salaries so that said i won't clump all teachers into this category because it's not fair

UNKNOWN 0:31:57

there are excellent teachers in this district and i am very happy but they are bound by the same agendas so i guess my last question is are you purposely polluting our children's minds supporting it and believing what you are doing is right or are you simply sending out a virtue signal or simply just trying to do your job in a really broken

UNKNOWN 0:32:17

system and that's just it it's clear to me it's clear to us just how broken corrupt and woke this system truly is but that's okay because we are going to clean it up by all means continue to attack us if you want to keep causing division and telling lies when you attack one of us you attack all

UNKNOWN 0:32:37

of us and we aren't going anywhere we just got started and i think we should all try to work together also shaw 2022 thank you heather peary followed by bernadette mendez followed by the final speaker virginia renteria good evening board crt ethnic studies 1619 it is my understanding that this curriculum can be taught at each chino unified school as long as the principal

UNKNOWN 0:33:11

at each school approves it the questions i have are will parents be informed if this will begin to be taught will the district be holding a few information nights for parents to show and go over the curriculum that will be taught who will be approving the curriculum and will the parents be welcome in this process will there be an opt-out option

UNKNOWN 0:33:33

well what chino unified school district says about the ethnic studies curriculum line up and match with the school's information night about the 1619 curriculum parents would like to see this new curriculum and know when teachers will begin teaching it if at all parents would like to know if their principal at their school approves it as well i'm finding that teachers can bring new

UNKNOWN 0:33:56

teachings if the principal approves and without restricting teachers from teaching material that is in the curriculum and framework so are there boundaries put in place or will it be communicated to the parents at any point and i know this may sound like may sound too much coming from parents but the mindset of the teachers and principal and district handling school affairs

UNKNOWN 0:34:19

without parents has been in place for years and you know it's our fault as the parents for not getting involved sooner and getting more involved so now things are changing and parents do want to say and want to know what their kids are being taught and i am looking forward to working with the district and the teachers on this thank you thank you

UNKNOWN 0:34:43

bernadette mendez followed by virginia rentery rancheria um i just wanted to bring up the fact that we don't have any um in class parent volunteers i know that i used to volunteer a lot with my older daughter and my son is in first grade and i haven't been able to even see what his classroom looks like or

UNKNOWN 0:35:14

you know see the other children i'm in the pta i get to go into a room but i don't get to volunteer in this classroom we're able to fly domestically anywhere in the united states unvaccinated unmasked but yet we can't volunteer in our child's classrooms maybe that could be something that we can look into being able to bring the parents back in

UNKNOWN 0:35:38

because it not only helps the kids they love seeing their parents in the classroom it helps the teachers out it gives us a sense of um i don't know it lets us begin to know more of the teachers in the classes and that principle gives them a better relationship like i said i saw my child in class

UNKNOWN 0:35:58

today from across the yard and he was like hey mom and all the kids are like hey your mom's here they just get happy i think they are better behaved when you're there in the school and they know that hey my mom knows all the teachers she knows all the you know staff members so i just would like for you guys to

UNKNOWN 0:36:17

maybe think about or consider bringing back the parent volunteers in class helping with the parties and stuff so please keep that in mind thank you thank you for junior renteria [Applause] good evening board and especially parents um i'm coming today because i just heard of this day of silence that's supposed to be going on tomorrow i hope to god it's not in our

UNKNOWN 0:36:50

district where um it's tied in democrats have a very unique way of rewording stuff where it's a day of silence for birthday and a day to teachers can explain the gay lesbian agenda so i hope to god it's not going to happen in our school one of my main things though is the crt our children are being

UNKNOWN 0:37:17

the whole 1960s was for nothing because we're reverting back to looking at a person based on the color of their skin not the ability proof positive is our vice president of the united states total embarrassment but she was picked the new judge on the supreme court who can't even identify what a woman is was picked because why she's a woman and

UNKNOWN 0:37:42

she's black what about her credentials what does that say to people that have really have the ability to be in a position oh sorry you're the wrong color we need to meet a quota the other thing i want to cover too quickly is sexual education it's incredible that our children are being taught that it's okay to have sex out of marriage

UNKNOWN 0:38:10

i didn't have i have a flyer like this that i'm frankly embarrassed to show because i think it's pornographic two men in bed one man bending over to get a bar of soap with the other man behind them they're both naked that is pornographic and that is what is going into our schools it's disgusting i don't know what has happened in

UNKNOWN 0:38:35

america i'm deeply saddened that people have not spoken up me and my husband were talking as we drove home from sacramento regarding this ab2223 which is the murder of a newborn child up to the age of 28 days if the mother just decides i don't want this child get rid of it rather than give it up for

UNKNOWN 0:38:58

adoption but it's like what happened to our schools i frankly don't know when my daughter was in school i took for granted that she was going to go to school and learn abc's now you have to ask i have to ask my grandkids what are you learning at school they play a lot what my second grader said oh we learned a book that a little

UNKNOWN 0:39:21

boy that's brown is doing that that's part of crt this isn't the second grade this is supposed to be a very nice school district a very what they consider a little bit better than a middle class uh neighborhood and we're starting to put this garbage in our schools is pathetic thank thank you for your time [Applause] we're now at item 1g changes and

UNKNOWN 0:39:51

deletions pat are there any changes or deletions none thank you we're now on to item number two action items the first item is item 2a1 resolution 2021 2022-73 supporting funding for literacy in the 2022-23 california state budget and supporting 2021 2022 session california state legislator bills addressing literacy programs and supports recommend the board of education adopt resolution

UNKNOWN 0:40:20

2021-22-73 supporting funding for literacy in the 2022-23 california state budget and supporting 2021 2022 session california state legislature bills addressing literacy programs and supports are there any speakers there are none may i have a motion so moved motion from mr nah may i have a second second cycling for mr bridge any comments questions or discussion uh i will jump in as author of the

UNKNOWN 0:40:47

resolution um one of the things that i have repeatedly had brought to my attention over the last couple of years is dual immersion programs the need for more dual immersion programs throughout the district we have some of them at some of our school sites one of the bills that is referenced in this resolution would provide more funding for those dual immersion

UNKNOWN 0:41:05

programs i think that would help the district be more competitive and our students be more competitive as they go through education some of the other supports that are as a part of superintendent thurman's plan also include summer learning programs some more funding for summer literacy programs this is essentially to support a whole slate of initiatives that are long

UNKNOWN 0:41:27

overdue in our california schools while some of these initiatives are specific to remediation post pandemic a lot of this are things that have been talked about for the last 20 years in education and here's an opportunity for us to support that funding so i hope my colleagues will support this i want to make sure that we as a board are more

UNKNOWN 0:41:46

UNKNOWN 0:45:51

board and the public all right thank you president so the item the discussion item was brought forward by the community member regarding the crt so i wanted to give some background because i know there's some concerns with our community around october 21st assembly bill 101 was signed by governor gavin newsom and that bill is requiring that the

UNKNOWN 0:46:16

graduation class of 2030 in the class of 2030 that they're required to take an ethnic studies course to graduate from high school so that's eight years from now the state also in assembly bill 101 requires that the school district have that course ready to go one year prior to the class of 2030 starting so the class of 2030 would start high

UNKNOWN 0:46:42

school in the 26 27 school year so the course needs to be uh approved and in play for the district for the 2025-26 school year so that's about three years um so if we timeline that out for the district so it has to be in place in the 25 26 school year typically what we would do in the 24 24-25

UNKNOWN 0:47:10

school year is when we would develop the curriculum and have it ready to go for the following school year the 25-26 school year so again there is a a lot of concerns i know from the community not just in our community but across the state regarding this ethnic studies course not too long ago several years back and

UNKNOWN 0:47:32

somebody spoke about it tonight assembly bill 329 which was called the california healthy youth act which is our sex education courses in our district we had to take a look at those courses and it was again a very controversial topic in our our district we um at that time the board used a process i recommended that the board appoint

UNKNOWN 0:47:56

a representative to sit on our sex education committee to look at the curriculum to one to ensure does it meet the requirements set forth by the state and two does it meet the appropriateness for our students and for our community and so we had different views and different perspectives from the members who sat on that committee and we came to

UNKNOWN 0:48:19

an agreement on that and there was different views we covered all all different sites views on that curriculum and i think that that was very successful that process that we went through so i would ask that the board that we would as a superintendent that we would appoint somebody in the 2000 going into the 2024-25 school year and do the same thing for

UNKNOWN 0:48:46

our ethnic studies course to ensure that we have community representation sitting on that that can represent each of the the board members so that we can go through that curriculum one to make sure it meets the requirement of the state and then two does it meet the uh the the the type of curriculum that we want our students to have in our district and

UNKNOWN 0:49:08

our community and so that would be my recommendation moving forward and again that's three years from now and we will address that and in the meantime there will be some curriculum that comes out our staff will be looking at that looking at any new guidelines that comes because it's another three years before we have to have to even

UNKNOWN 0:49:28

start looking at that curriculum to put into our schools for that following year so that would be my recommendation thank you dr enfield do we have any speakers we do the first speaker is jim gallagher followed by mindy schamp followed by brian gonzalez good evening uh president gagne board members dr enfield staff and fellow residents um i think the ethnic studies program

UNKNOWN 0:49:59

that you're just proposing and the bor and the committee that will review it sounds fantastic it sounds like a good idea many of us were exposed to ethnic studies in college of of a sort where we began to learn a little bit about the elements of what made up our society the unfortunate thing of this term critical race theory is like a dog

UNKNOWN 0:50:19

whistle term it's become the new bogeyman for people that are unwilling to acknowledge our country's racist history now i don't think that means residents here feel this way but across the country this is an issue opponents fear that crt admonishes all white people for being oppressors while classifying all black people as hopelessly oppressed victims we don't think that's the case there's a

UNKNOWN 0:50:43

fundamental problem that these narratives about crt are are really gross exaggerations of the theoretical framework simply put critical race theory states that the u.s social institutions the criminal justice system the education system the labor market the housing market and health care systems are really laced with racism embedded in laws regulations rules and procedures that lead to the differential

UNKNOWN 0:51:11

outcomes so what we're not saying is that people are racist per se because i think people that generally want to practice good relationships with their neighbors and and so on especially here in california but what we are saying is the institutions in critical race there are the ones that really need to be looked at and and some of the

UNKNOWN 0:51:30

regulations and taking another look now the ethnic studies program that you're proposing sounds like it's much broader i i applaud that and i think that's a good thing i just want to conclude that there's a book that i've read that i think might be illuminating for everyone it's called cast the origins of our discontents it was published in 2020 by isabel

UNKNOWN 0:51:54

wilkerson and it was a 2020 opera book club as well as a new york times bestseller i found it to be very illuminating i found it to really expose what our society is about and i think from it is a proposal that we can make our society better and more democratic for everyone so that's all i wanted to say

UNKNOWN 0:52:15

and thank you very much thank you i would ask that the audience remain respectful of all speakers thank you mindy schamp followed by byron gonzalez hello thank you for having me my name is mindy shamp and i'm the mother of four children all who attend school in this district three of my children are black and i've seen first hand how their

UNKNOWN 0:52:52

experience moving through this world is vastly different from the way i am privileged to move through it my children have been the victims of racism more times than i can count several of which have taken place on our school campuses i wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on the proposal to ban crt critical race theory specifically is

UNKNOWN 0:53:11

not taught in our schools at any level and because of that i'm curious to know why it is being discussed however since the topic was added to the agenda i thought it would take a few a few moments to share my thoughts accurate historical education gives all of our children the opportunity to gain empathy and understanding for other

UNKNOWN 0:53:30

people's experiences as as well as empowers all of us to consider our responsibility to move forward and not repeat this mistakes of our past i'm advocating that we take the discussion of critical race theory off of the agenda and future agendas and that we bring the focus back to the fact that our students are hungry to be taught about our

UNKNOWN 0:53:51

historical cultural and racial underpinnings that still affect how our society functions today i would end with asking everyone in this room what can we do moving forward to foster growth in our own children and empower them to be sensitive and compassionate to others even those who experience life differently finally today i have not heard nor have any

UNKNOWN 0:54:13

board members expressed inadequate understanding and application of crt in our schools that would warrant any action either way it's a distraction with no merit however any efforts to bring a stronger connection and understanding of the racial history and current effects of systemic racism will only benefit our youth and classrooms that should be the focus of the board

UNKNOWN 0:54:34

parents school and staff thank you thank you brian gonzal byron gonzalez followed by final speaker tyra wiese um hello there my name is byron gonzalez and i i disagree with the crt with what's going on many of the people here that have talked about what crt actually is what they see is it's actually white people oppressing black

UNKNOWN 0:55:09

people or people of different races uh i believe that's an inaccurate statement it was if you want to make it more accurate statement it's actually mostly democrats oppressing oppressing people who disagree with them especially people who are black or mexican or hispanic which i am now if you want to go down the list the first one i can come down from my mind is

UNKNOWN 0:55:30

president wardrobe wilson was actually who was actually a clan member he actually was the first president who actually made a movie in the white house originally called the klansmen after that though kkk started murdering black people and murdering also the republicans who were actually the opposing party from the democrats if you want to go down the list we can go to do

UNKNOWN 0:55:52

fdr who was discipled by wardrobe wilson and he actually uh appointed a kkk member named hugo black from um to the the supreme court if you want to continue keep going and continue keep going um we can even look at our recent president who is uh joe biden who was discipled by a kkk member named um i

UNKNOWN 0:56:12

forget his name um robert byrd now let's go even back further um let's go a little bit back for further um lbj he's the one that implemented the economic opportunity act which actually uh for um got government people to go door-to-door in urban areas and actually asked african americans do you have your um do you have a

UNKNOWN 0:56:36

husband here if they did not they would give them money and then that would subsidize single motherhood rate and that's why uh our african-american community is about 13 there are african-american communities about 13 of the population yet commits 52 percent of the crime or actually the 52 percent of the murder uh so when you subsidize single model

UNKNOWN 0:56:57

motherhood rate you get more murder you get more violence so it's not as actually a race against race it's more of political party going against political party now who is a current governor right now governor gavin newsom what is he a democrat what is he passing laws like these they don't help at all they actually make things worse please

UNKNOWN 0:57:17

stop doing this this is a bunch of just wrong so please stop thank you thank you [Applause] tyra wiese my name is tyra weiss i am a resident of chino and i am a third grade teacher in pomona unified where i am a proud union member i'm reading something from one of our high school parents that asked me to

UNKNOWN 0:57:48

do this for them it is about critical race theory critical race theory is one of several sociological theories that tries to explain human interaction kimberly crenshaw and derek bell are credited with bringing this theory to the academic world in the 1990s in an effort to explain how racial bias is seen in our institutions as with all theories

UNKNOWN 0:58:09

there is no right or wrong theory theories are simply explanations that attempt to describe social phenomena theories are suppositions intended to explain something not advocate not advocate either action or place blame critical race theory is taught in college-level social science courses just as consensus theory and structural functionalism are mentioned in sociology classes so too is critical race theory

UNKNOWN 0:58:35

critical race theory is not taught in public k-12 schools and regardless of what passes it would not impact my third grade class at all there is no evidence that this theory is referenced in any state curriculum what is referenced is culturally relevant pedagogy which focuses on student learning and academic success developing students cultural competence to assist students in developing positive ethnic

UNKNOWN 0:59:00

and social identities and supporting students critical consciousness or their ability to recognize and critique societal inequalities critical race theory had been relegated to university textbooks until september 2nd 2020 when christopher ruffo a conservative activist appeared on fox fox's tucker carlson tonight to proclaim that critical race theory was pervading the federal government rufus called on then president trump to immediately

UNKNOWN 0:59:28

issue an executive order to stamp out this destructive divisive pseudoscientific ideology the next morning mark meadows asked roofo to help draft the executive order which trump did issue three weeks later the order was reversed on january 20th during president biden's first day in office fast forward to march on march 2 2022 another conservative activist charlie kirk and pastor jack hibbs of calvary

UNKNOWN 0:59:56

chapel chino hills held a speaking event attended by one of our school board candidates on april 14th in another speaking event in fullerton charlie kirk employed his followers what he said was you need to be the public sector teacher's worst nightmare it is my hope that our community rises in the face of bigotry and extremism thank you so much for your time thank

UNKNOWN 1:00:18

you agnes mays oh misery dear president gagne board dr enfield cabinet community as both a parent of a child in the district and a university instructor i would like to talk about the disinformation about critical race theory actual critical race theory is a college-level framework that is not taught in k-12 schools however some groups and politicians have

UNKNOWN 1:00:52

co-opted this term for political gain today's resolution calls for banning crt or any similar framework the this leaves the definition open to anything its supporters find politically useful including banning teaching many aspects of american history books by authors of color and social emotional learning the whole crt issue is a manufactured crisis but one with very real negative consequences a

UNKNOWN 1:01:19

recent article in the washington post reported that teachers and districts with these intentionally vague bands feel demoralized and unsure of what they are permitted to teach leading to more teachers wanting to leave the profession the definition of crt actually used in the resolution i know it's being tabled still there race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and

UNKNOWN 1:01:41

socially significant this is what we are trying to ban socially constructed means that racial categories were created by people and have no genetic basis this is an accepted scientific fact and the official statement of the american society of human genetics the lie that race is biological has been used throughout modern history to dehumanize and segregate people it has it is has

UNKNOWN 1:02:06

been very socially significant under the ban would history teachers not be allowed to discuss this when they teach about the holocaust slavery or jim crow the sly is also currently used by anti-semitic and white nationalist organizations to justify hate even an implicit suggestion that right race is biologically real has no place in a resolution put before a school board

UNKNOWN 1:02:29

finally as the mother of multi-ethnic children i am heartbroken by the anti-crt hysteria and attacks on books about the lived experiences of people who look like my daughters for example the book ruby bridges goes to school has been banned under the crt label this is the true story of the first black child to integrate a school in new orleans in 1960.

UNKNOWN 1:02:53

her parents bravery and standing up to racism have made this country a better place for a year the national guard had to walk her and her mother to school to protect them from angry mobs because of her courage decades later her own grandchildren attended the same school without fear why would anyone want to silence her voice or erase her from

UNKNOWN 1:03:12

history she is an american hero and this is our shared history i hope that we as a community can turn away from this frankly hurtful manufactured anti-crt fear and hysteria thank you thank you [Applause] any other comments i'll now open the comments up to the board to put it on the floor for discussion of motion okay motion mr cruz can i get a second

UNKNOWN 1:03:48

second second from mr naw comments questions discussion miss kim yes i have one question what is the purpose of this this discussion in this item uh it's just an open discussion for the board the board is not taking any action at this time so it's just to merely have a discussion so any comments to be a part of said

UNKNOWN 1:04:17

discussion my comment would be that dr anfield has met with our parents so we'll continue to meet with our parents and we'll do what's best for our children for our school district regardless of the uh the state or the or the low quality politicians trying to push mr cruz you know so far at least 36 states have

UNKNOWN 1:04:48

adopted or introduced laws or policies that restrict teaching about race and racism with the 2022 state legislative session underway new legislation is in the pipeline many of the efforts have attempted to ban critical race theory framework that examines how policies and the law the perpetuates systemic racism you know you know there's things i think i think about

UNKNOWN 1:05:14

and you know to me all this critical race is really about the demoralization of our country and the destruction our constitution and and through us fighting among ourselves because we know we shouldn't be going backwards we should progress further because as we go to the stars we'll have to be together but man this stuff is just bringing us back backwards but you

UNKNOWN 1:05:37

know what gets me really it's the hypocrisy it's almost the double standard and that is there is such a high record of white slavery and human trafficking and then you see the massive starvation that's occurring in africa and south america due to this covet issue it just it just blows me the inconsistency that you see with these

UNKNOWN 1:05:58

people and then you see the destruction of statues that this is not this is not real honest honest about talking about things that are tribal because you know we are tribal and that's why you got football games you know you're you're you're with the rams or with the oakland and all this but you know my dad when he

UNKNOWN 1:06:16

was in san antonio texas my dad experienced things that were discriminatory he wasn't able to go swimming at a certain time he was able he he enjoyed playing pool so he went to the african american recreational center but my father joined the service such as his brothers and the bottom line what martha luther king stated we judge

UNKNOWN 1:06:36

people based on their character and their content and that's as far as we could go but this stuff just screws our kids up and and it causes hatred in their hearts and you just can't have that because when you're young nothing like this even goes in in kids minds so it really upsets me because what they're really doing is destroying our

UNKNOWN 1:06:57

country and that is what that is the whole purpose of this whole thing not only crt the sexualization of our kids and it just goes on and on and um it is so disgusting like i told you there is such human trafficking right now it's so it's so bad right now but they don't talk about it they just and then you got

UNKNOWN 1:07:18

the fentanyl that it's going into our minority communities and then you have to ask yourself where do these people get their drugs i'm just telling you it's disgusting how they play us and this crt this is exactly what it is it's not good for our children and hopefully the only way this changes you put the right people on board because

UNKNOWN 1:07:39

let me tell you something america's gonna go through a near-death experience it's gonna happen and i hope that we make it out because we're gonna break up you could just see it and um and it's more than just crt and all this it's really spiritual because i'm going to bring i'm going to bring back the absurdity of killing a

UNKNOWN 1:07:59

baby after the baby's born i mean you have to you're talking about nuts nut cells and you cannot trust this system you got to have some common sense people because we've got to protect the kids because that's all we have we do the very best we're not perfect but we do the best that we can as human

UNKNOWN 1:08:17

beings and there is a foundation of values that we follow but you know none of us aren't able to but at least it's there others will but leave our kids alone and if they reach 18 they could do whatever just like to transgender oh they need transgender no let the parent decide let them deal with their issues

UNKNOWN 1:08:35

until they reach 18 then they could decide if they want to be a boy or a girl but don't force it when they're kids it's disgusting are there any more comments irrelevant to the discussion item miss kim yes i just want to clarify on a few points um i mean of course we are addressing you know sexual trafficking we're

UNKNOWN 1:09:04

the poverty issue in africa but i think what crt is really looking at is why these minorities like why are they disproportionately affected by this drug crisis as mr cruz said why are they disproportionately affected by poverty and that affects them when they're born because this is institutionalized so i just wanted to clarify on that point i

UNKNOWN 1:09:24

think we all should be more informed about what crt really is before going into discussions like this and i would like to request that all of our board members look very thoroughly into this system as well as their community members and parents who are wishing to talk about this topic to know exactly what the system means how how it

UNKNOWN 1:09:43

is integrated in our education and what control our district has over this curriculum so i would like to bring up the idea of educating our parents or community members in some sorts through a district issued medium if that will be possible thank you miss kim uh mr cruz and also i want to set a note here i don't know this is a true statement or

UNKNOWN 1:10:13

not but i've been hearing this a lot and that is the this gene therapy is killing more africans and hispanics compared to other race okay sometimes you wonder you know the trust in all this what our government does because you know in the past they've done some horrible things to experimentations in our own country on minorities thank you

UNKNOWN 1:10:39

mr bridge thank you i with this whole thing coming coming down when i when i first heard about crt what i see happening is this become a big tent policy we're just going to take every everything and just blanket it over and refer to it as as that it made me think of the ronald reagan quote at the

UNKNOWN 1:11:07

debate with jimmy carter in 1980 where he said there you go again and that's what i see happening here i've got the curriculum junior only the junior high since high school i didn't look at the elementary but junior high social science eighth grade social science ninth grade history social science world geography eleventh grade u.s history and what i taught 12th grade u.s

UNKNOWN 1:11:44

government or now principles of american democracy is what we're calling it now it's not in here you read through it you won't see it i don't think you're ever going to see it in this district i don't see the board passing it but it's a good way to keep keep people energized keep people angry keep people fearful

UNKNOWN 1:12:04

it makes me think like what subjects are we not going to be able to cover we're not going to be able to teach about brown versus board of education about plessy versus ferguson separate but equal not going to be able to talk about manzanar good friend of mine is a retired teacher in this district she and her family were

UNKNOWN 1:12:22

sent to manzanar as a young girl she was in manzanar as a japanese detainee we're not going to talk about that just because it might make someone feel bad i don't think so we need to remember that those who fail to learn history are condemned to repeat it other things in our junior high curriculum 6.6 objective refers to the

UNKNOWN 1:12:45

references discussions of causes and course of religious crusades and their effects on christian muslim and jewish populations in europe maybe think of one of the funniest skits i've seen and a lot of people probably have not seen it have you not seen the group or heard about the group monty python you can google it on youtube but they do

UNKNOWN 1:13:07

one in one of their half hour skits they had a running gag through the whole thing about nobody expects the spanish inquisition and they would just surprise people come in the last minutes and nobody expects a spanish inquisition and their two main weapons are fear and surprise well what does that sound like so i hope that we would come to some

UNKNOWN 1:13:29

common sense and just start thinking about what we need to do and how we're going to go about do it doing it and not getting off on all these other tangents about all the other subjects i heard piggybacked on this discussion tonight that's what we need to do thank you mr shaffer thank you if uh [Applause] i think if we want to have a discussion

UNKNOWN 1:13:55

on crt in our community that's fine that's great i think it's an important thing for us to discuss but i want to make a couple of things clear dr infield are we currently teaching or using crt in our classrooms no is there any is there any plan to do so in the next three years there's no plan

UNKNOWN 1:14:18

is crt in any way related to what is being proposed for ethnic studies i'd have to look at the the curriculum and i haven't looked at that to know that answer and we're going to put a commission together to like we did with sex ed yes we'll go through that that curriculum so our community will have a

UNKNOWN 1:14:38

voice in the topics and the areas being discussed in the new ethnic studies if that's if the board takes my recommendation and goes through with what we did with the sex education curriculum yes okay like i said i i if we want to have this discussion as a community as a society i think that's great but i think

UNKNOWN 1:14:56

the board needs in this district needs to focus on getting back to teaching our students and not worry about these hypothetical situations i think with [Applause] i think i think we have shown with the sex ed commission that we put together that this district is going to listen to our parents on these topics in these issues and if you as a parent disagree with

UNKNOWN 1:15:22

what the commission and the board ultimately does at that time in two to three years i'm sure there will be some type of a process like there is with sex ed for opting out or doing something other than that portion of the curriculum okay so i think it's like i said i i would like to see us get back to what's

UNKNOWN 1:15:39

relevant for this board thank you mr na yeah uh wow okay i i still don't know about crt yet because it's not uh written i haven't read it so i'm going to make final comments on on on that time however when people are talking about work speaking on hypothermical issues right now it may not be that's what had

UNKNOWN 1:16:15

uh happened with our new sex ad people had warned us and then when finally was printed one page it was a cartoon but it's something out of the porno magazine so it wasn't just a hypothetical theory it was real that's why we had to form a parental commission to go through our textbooks so we do need to prepare

UNKNOWN 1:16:45

if the big one is going to hit we've been preparing for the last 20 years same thing we need to be engaged we need to be aware and when i mention about this and and i'd like to thank our teachers that who agrees that there should be a counterbalance of everything i agree 100 [Music] but when you look at the science class

UNKNOWN 1:17:16

the kids only taught on evolution theory not the creation theory not the design theory but only the evolution and we still don't have the answer to it that's the truth same thing with any vaccine that's been working for coronavirus now the fourth is coming along nothing has been worked so we have no answers but we're not giving all the students

UNKNOWN 1:17:44

the truth evolution evolution evolution but we don't know the truth so we're not balanced now what's not also balanced look at our judge our speaker said it right now we learned i have learned could have been in elementary or junior high school about reproductive system of biological system that's how you define male and female in any animal systems

UNKNOWN 1:18:26

or even the insects okay now we're telling kids say you don't know who you are that's right after taking your bio exam are you balanced no mentally ill i think that's why i call these politicians who's trying to push this laws a low quality politician's leadership we should not follow them they do not know what they're doing

UNKNOWN 1:19:02

we need to have a common sense in asia everything should be based on respect and not love but however we need to stand on the principles and then be clear on your sight not only what you see but through your heart our children belongs all of us i'm going to have another comment on my uh or comment section

UNKNOWN 1:19:31

so i finish with this right now thank you uh to bring this back to the discussion item at hand i believe what mr na was referring to with the sex ed curriculum and i'm particularizing my comments to how this relates to to this subject item the state will propose a model curriculum and that model curriculum will be

UNKNOWN 1:19:53

presented to school districts we are not required to adopt that model curriculum and so i want to make that very clear i was new to this board when we had to adopt the sex ed curriculum and uh there was a lot of misinformation about what that was going to look like because the model curriculum um was not

UNKNOWN 1:20:15

necessarily a curriculum that would be endorsed or supported by the community and there were things in that curriculum that people found objectionable but when we went through our curriculum process which each board member appointed somebody and i can attest to the fact that that group of individuals was very diverse in their viewpoints on what should or should not be in sex

UNKNOWN 1:20:37

education the curriculum that was arrived at you know was a reflection of the community and was very far away from what was in the model curriculum and what people people found to be objectionable in the model curriculum um i i would therefore assume that moving forward as we assemble this committee something similar would happen with this in the time period that it needs to

UNKNOWN 1:21:00

happen i do want to say that again also being new to the board i don't take for granted that when someone tells me something is or is not in something it's there so i literally went through every page of the seventh grade textbook and not that i needed a re-examination of what i learned in seventh grade but i took the view of

UNKNOWN 1:21:19

what in here could be objectionable similarly i looked through every single page of the sex-ed curriculum with the same view what could possibly be objectionable and i flagged it and i had this color-coded scale of things that i thought you know if i were to step back just objectively what what could people find an issue with and so i just want to clarify that our

UNKNOWN 1:21:39

sex ed curriculum is nowhere near the state's model curriculum and so if you have information shared with you that you know you feel to be pornographic for example um i i would i would question that if that is in our curriculum or not because i don't believe it to be so i just want to endorse that as we

UNKNOWN 1:21:59

implement this as a district that we don't jump the gun on this issue the state will issue a model curriculum we will evaluate as a district that curriculum we will form a committee and go through the exact same community-based process we also then had that curriculum brought before the board in a meeting that was a very highly attended meeting

UNKNOWN 1:22:22

with a variety of viewpoints where then the board adopted the curriculum so i just want to assure that i thought that process was fair it was transparent and it engaged so i would just request that as we move forward this seems to be a very similar situation i believe that this is an anxiety inducing topic clearly and i would just ask that in a

UNKNOWN 1:22:46

time when i think people are very anxious over what's happened the last couple of years that we try to reduce those anxieties to the extent possible thank you and mr cruz yeah yeah um reduce your anxiety saying that um sexuality is a construct and so you could determine your sex just by how you feel yeah damn right you have to have anxiety

UNKNOWN 1:23:08

because it could really primarily damage your kids okay and let me ask you also another thing too this discussion is proactive it doesn't matter what we say and whether the banter between me or or back and forth what matters is your kids and so whatever your gut says you just follow what your gut says about your children

UNKNOWN 1:23:26

because that's what you love the most so in terms of anxiety and all that you leave that out the door it's your kids and that's what matters also you know when it comes to teachers they bring their views it's not like they follow a curriculum i mean they have the right to go and bring stuff in and so let's say

UNKNOWN 1:23:41

1619 project dr enfield if the principal states who gives authority for a school if a teacher wants to teach 16 19 project do you give authority or does the principle because who does it would go through the principle but the process mr cruz the principal goes through that with the teacher and has to show both both sides

UNKNOWN 1:24:03

of the the the beatles on that particular topic if there are multiple views on it they can't just come and represent one side of the story it has to cover all of that and they would have to go through and it would have to align with the curriculum and they'd have to make sense of why are you teaching within that curriculum if

UNKNOWN 1:24:21

it doesn't need that then they wouldn't be able to do that hopefully that's the case but you know but we go through that with our principles um we do that usually typically towards the end of the school year mr rodriguez goes over that at a principal meeting and covers the requirements uh that are the expectations because typically those

UNKNOWN 1:24:43

things are if they're going to be brought in typically happen towards the end of a school year and so we always go over that we'll go over that again with our principles but it's a common one that mr rodriguez does and you know i believe i believe that's the case but i bet you some of your parents probably

UNKNOWN 1:25:02

experienced some things with your teachers that were attempting to teach project not a 1619 project i know but if you did experience something like that email dr enfield about that if that ever has happened thank you any other questions or comments uh seeing none we will move on to item number five communications we are now at board member communications mr schaefer

UNKNOWN 1:25:29

thank you first i'd like to congratulate our two new administrators in the district ashley and jermaine wish you the best in your new positions dr infield last meeting i had requested an update on the preserve 2. i know there's some issues um in talking with you mr sachara during your comments though can you just give us a brief verbal report thank you

UNKNOWN 1:25:56

dr infield do where are we at with parent volunteers in the classroom when do we have a idea of when those might be coming back or would be able to allow them to come back well the following the guidelines in our reopening plan we've we've followed the the state guidelines is an essential so parents can volunteer but it has to be

UNKNOWN 1:26:13

an essential meaning they're working directly with the kids that would be an essential function of that so if a parent they'd have to be either vaccinated or they would have to have a positive test i don't remember if it's in the last three days or the last week but it lasts seven days the last seven days then they can volunteer in there

UNKNOWN 1:26:32

but and there are it is happening but it needs to be essential meaning they're working directly with the kids so they can volunteer and it's happening at at our school sites it may not be at all of them but that's the directions we've gone over that several times with our principals so that they can be in the classroom

UNKNOWN 1:26:50

we'll look at towards the end of this school year going into next year if all of those things can be removed as we move away from the pandemic okay thank you would we need to change our uh make an amendment to our reopening plan to do that but the question is going to be is it still in place what is the state requiring so

UNKNOWN 1:27:12

that that's that's what we're waiting on is still clarification they always do the updates and when they do updates we make changes they haven't made any changes to any of the any of any of those guidelines that we've been following okay thank you and i'm sorry ma'am in the front row i didn't catch your name when you were

UNKNOWN 1:27:29

speaking can you provide me with the campus that that flyer was on because i'm i'm concerned about that and i'd like to know where it is so that we can address that issue okay thank you and then lastly from the city of chino hills it's short notice but tomorrow is the deadline to apply for the year their

UNKNOWN 1:27:49

UNKNOWN 1:28:11

UNKNOWN 1:28:32

association of california school administrators region 12 middle school principal of the year it's a nice honor to see uh uh i see he's following in the footsteps of his father who was also a principal at canyon hills junior high when my wife taught there and then secondly i also want to congratulate chino hills high school senior erica

UNKNOWN 1:28:53

collins who finished fourth in the girls shot put open division at the prestigious uh arcadia invitational track meet becoming the first shotwood thrower from the school to meddle in 20 years and then the very next day erica was named most valuable player at the inland valley classic girls basketball classic at summit high school in fontana and she has signed to attend university

UNKNOWN 1:29:16

of nevada las vegas so congratulations to her on those two honors that concludes my call thank you mr bridge uh mr cruz oh yeah um i'll bring this up in the next coming board meeting um they had an art festival here i think online and i was going to go ahead and show some of the students work

UNKNOWN 1:29:37

some of the students do a wonderful job when it comes to their um art their art performances you know their art things so i'll bring that up the next board meeting but um you know the alley county they're going to order masks return the mask starting this friday and i say that to you because you know it's coming you know the mass is

UNKNOWN 1:29:56

coming and probably the lockdown will be coming so you know let's let's make this right in november so we could have we have the right people so your children have choices to wear a mask um you know the covet 19 vaccines were was delayed in in school k through 12. it was delayed but you know if if they if the if the democrats have a

UNKNOWN 1:30:18

real stronghold you know after the next year of 2023 they'll go ahead and bring this back and they're going to want to vaccinate our children knowing the fact this is not even approved and about 40 of it is still it's it's under like it's under like secret nobody doesn't know what it contains and the gentleman stated parasite and so forth i do know

UNKNOWN 1:30:39

ivermectum and hydroquinoquin do kill parasites so you know there's a lot of zigzag going on but little by little the truth is coming out i know the past two weeks something has been sprunging up and i was paying attention to articles that i was watching i i i've been looking at you know since a year and a half and you

UNKNOWN 1:30:59

know it's interesting that venom is coming up and and people did talk about that so it's quite interesting things are bubbling up and we're eventually finding out the truth about what is this gene therapy what it really is about what's going on with this gene therapy so um and like i told you you know you got ab22223

UNKNOWN 1:31:19

that passed 11 to 3. and you know it is disturbing that that you know after a child is born that uh a mother would want to go ahead and terminate to seven to 28 days but you know the way i see it it's live it has organs you just keep the baby safe and take it to its destination so

UNKNOWN 1:31:39

you never know their reasoning behind all this but i do know this if you don't value life at that level you know it will come to the old they're not going to value the old when things get real tough if they're not going to value the old they're not going to vow the disabled if they're about disabled they're going to

UNKNOWN 1:32:00

not value down syndrome because that's how it goes everything goes downhill and so this is where we're going to have the right people and it's so and i'm going to be harping on this because this like i said this is a near-death experience of this country if this keeps on rolling and you begin to see states breaking up

UNKNOWN 1:32:19

they're starting to form that and so as for california you know maybe we'll maybe san bernardino will break up and become its own state but um but it is so so we we need to start being observant and our goal and let me tell you rhode island they're punishing parents of children that are not vaccinated and so they want

UNKNOWN 1:32:40

to double their state income tax and 50 fine this stuff is so aggressive it's not a gene therapy to cure whatever this is it's really about the passport and i have no idea what this thing has but it probably has something to do with the integration of of us being into some computer thing who knows but ultimately our goal

UNKNOWN 1:33:04

and our priority is our kids because that is our future because all of us here well we're in the twilight of our lives 20 30 years and out we go but at least we do the very best when it comes to our kids we do the best because it's hard and and that's what essential and so we'll do whatever it takes

UNKNOWN 1:33:25

because um that's that's the critical part now thank you thank you mr cruz mr na yeah i'd like to uh have isabella avila uh please stand up i'd like to thank her uh she had personally came to me before the meeting and thanked me for new chino high school building where she'll be attending so thank you for

UNKNOWN 1:33:51

for your love for our school thank you um yes i agree with our speaker talk about ab22 let's say i got a job at a place and the boss says you get paid the per hour that you put in to work so i said yes boss so i'll be working really hard however instead of giving me more hours

UNKNOWN 1:34:27

you started cutting my hours and i suppose get paid by an hour what's going on with this it doesn't make sense i think that's what's going on with this ab2223 related to our school district how is it related we get paid by the first student for ada each student gives us funding the same people which the money they have they're giving

UNKNOWN 1:35:01

it to us it's actually all of your money and my money that we pay for taxes they'll collect them and they'll give it to us according to the number of students in the school district now they're going to pass the law to let kids die or be killed after what the speaker said 28 days that little baby that infant

UNKNOWN 1:35:29

is going to be in our kindergarten classes first grade second grade junior high high school and we're going to have what less money because the proposal doesn't make sense and and help us to operate not only we're talking about the things that are not serving our students right and parents right students are leaving our schools public schools to private schools charter

UNKNOWN 1:36:03

schools and home school schools now they want to kill babies so that we would have less students and less funding and less funding means what we have less teachers less staffs everything less i'll propose a resolution to oppose ab2223 on the next meeting and we need to send it to our legislators even though they're low quality very low quality leadership they

UNKNOWN 1:36:40

need to understand that we need students to survive and own a live student's account not dead students [Applause] and i'd like to ask dr uh please look into opening up our campuses to our volunteers i've supposed yes okay thank you very much thank you mr nah dr emfield regarding our second school currently there is an appraisal process that

UNKNOWN 1:37:24

we've gone through and currently it's been binding we're waiting for a binding appraisal by a third-party appraiser so that appraisal number should be should have been in already um so we're hoping within the next couple of weeks that will come in and that will allow us to move forward with purchasing the land so that goes to escrow that's a

UNKNOWN 1:37:45

30-day process the other part of it that we're waiting on as we're waiting for our architectural design at the department of state are architects the dsa for approval our architect informed us today that they believe they will be signed and stamped and hopefully back to us next week so we figure within a couple of weeks those should be back to it with

UNKNOWN 1:38:08

us so once we have the uh purchase the appraisal to purchase the land we get the dsa approval of our architectural designs where we're still on track to be on top so if those come in with the next couple of weeks that they put us in line to july and august to go out to bid those projects

UNKNOWN 1:38:28

and then we would break ground in november and that would keep us on track to open for the 2024 25 season so right now everything looks like it's all lined up to move forward so thank you our time [Music] thank you dr enfield um i wanted to follow up on a couple of requests from the last meeting uh the first one was

UNKNOWN 1:39:02

about clarifications regarding the trustee areas there's been a lot of confusion over what will happen in 2022 and elections moving forward i know you had shared with me what i thought was a wonderful resource that was put together basically answering questions about this and and kind of demystifying what's going to be happening when will that be going live

UNKNOWN 1:39:24

on the district website right now as i've been shared over social media no we haven't put that out on social media but i can have that put out great thank you um the next thing that was requested uh was um i'd requested a sort of one-stop uh place online for all of our mental health resources i know you and i had a

UNKNOWN 1:39:46

conversation about that can you just maybe uh share with the community um what we talked about and when that might be available yeah currently we're we're working on the the the design of it but what it would be we have the ability to be able to push out emails to all of our students so we figured we would do that several times

UNKNOWN 1:40:03

during the year to this this source for them to go to and we wanted it to be one source for them to capture all this information so there would be a a tab where a student could click on and report a we tip to our sro officers so that would go directly to our sros for any crimes that they wanted to report

UNKNOWN 1:40:24

they can also have a another button that they can click and it would be a form they would fill out that would go to administration if they wanted to report bullying also on there it would have a suicide prevention number for them to contact and then another tab would be for social emotional resources for our students so it would

UNKNOWN 1:40:44

be one place for all of our students to go to if they needed any of those supports in any of those four areas and again we have the ability at like say at the beginning of the year we'll push out that email here's where it's located on your school website um on the district website and again we would do that

UNKNOWN 1:41:01

several times during the school year just to remind students where it's at and and that it is available for them thank you and do we have a timeline for when that might be available i think we're hoping probably within the next couple of weeks yeah great thank you just a couple of community uh event reminders um the chino valley chamber of

UNKNOWN 1:41:21

commerce is having its taste of chino valley on may 26th at the shops at chino hills a wonderful opportunity to support our local restaurants and businesses i'm trying to make this event bigger and better than ever and finally the city of chino hills is having its state of the city on may 31st and so i would welcome everybody to attend that

UNKNOWN 1:41:41

as well to get updates from the mayor and the city council chino hills and with that i will adjourn the meeting at 7 41 pm have a good night
