Lewis W Moreno school that we're going to have to go and change the boundary Just For The Preserve area Academy resident so tonight he's going to give a presentation to kind of go over the process and what we're hoping to accomplish with that boundary change good evening president Shaw board members Dr Enfield cabinet and community so as Dr Enfield said tonight's

presentation is on the boundary process and timeline for Colorado preserve Academy and Lewis W Moreno school which is currently under construction the current boundary for calero is outlined in green there and basically it is well there's a school with the Red Dot and it is bordered on the east or I'm sorry on the west by Euclid Avenue on the North by

Merrill Avenue on the east by Hellman and Carpenter Avenues on the south by Chino Corona Road and there with the second Red Dot is the location of Louis Moreno School the Blue Line there indicates Kimball Avenue and for the most part everything south of Kimball Avenue is residential north of Kimball Avenue is the Chino Airport and Commercial developments

Pine Avenue basically cuts the remaining two-thirds of that boundary in half um pretty much I'm almost half and half but currently the majority of the residential development is on the north side of pine there is some on the south side of pine which is also known as homecoming apartments and then there's some town homes and and smaller homes

south of homecoming so the timeline in October 2022 we began construction on the new school in November of 22 the board approved contracts with David's demographics for student population forecast demographics and Boundary Consultation Services in December of 2022 the district released a boundary application for interested Colorado and preserve area community members and posted it on the district and Calera websites and it was

also issued to the Chino Champion for publication at the last board meeting in January the board approved contract with Eric Hall and Associates for boundary Consultation Services this past Tuesday January 31st the boundary application window closed and then a little over a year from now the school will opened in July of 2024. so we received a number of applications

from interested community members a total of 11. and basically we're going to proceed with all 11 community members that expressed interest they they cover the um the qualifications that we were looking for live in the Colorado preserve community and or have a student that attends Calera so the the committee will be made up of the principal current principal of

Colorado Lori Warner Amber ortel Parks who is Kyle Arrow's assistant principal she's also a parent of a student there and lives in the preserved community Jennifer malixi she is a teacher at calero but she is also a parent and preserved Community resident and then the community members that expressed interests Alexander Ariola van Neil borders David Camacho Erica cavaney

and Sarah McLarty Jamie Paredes or Jaime Carl Huang Marie Sanders and Larry Wu this next slide shows the location of calero and the yellow circle the location of the the new school out there at the bottom in the yellow circle and then all the applications that we received are sprinkled throughout that entire boundary showing the red dots so

we got pretty good coverage from the entire community District staff and consultants for the committee will be Leia fellows our assistant superintendent of ciis myself Sandra Chen associate superintendent of business Beverly Beamer our director of planning and then Esau Joya and David Cates from Davis demographics and Bob Nicholson and Kari Knowles from Eric Hall and Associates so if object objectives that we need to

consider key objectives are to reduce enrollment at Cal airport preserve Academy to a manageable level currently on a daily basis they have about 1354 students on campus which is larger than our small which is larger than our smallest High School their total enrollment is 1691 students second objective is to remove half of the 20 portable classrooms that

were placed there to accommodate the growth and then reclaim the lost playground space we also need to balance enrollment of both schools based on the school capacity but still keep room for growth and then lastly maintain ethical parity between both schools which will also ensure Financial efficiency and feasibility we don't want to open a school that only

has 150 students but yet we have to fully staff it for all those and that's not financially efficient so we've determined a meeting approval schedule so we will have a number of meetings the boundary committee meetings will be held on February 22nd March 8th March 22nd April 12th and April 26th and then sprinkled in between those dates we will

have Community Information meetings at calero on March 14th and 15th at 10 A.M and 6 p.m both days and then again on April 4th and 5th at 10 A.M and 6 p.m on both days from April 13th to the 21st a survey will be sent to Cal hero preserve Academy parents and then I'm at uh on May 4th of the May

4th board meeting we'll present an information item to the board follow the following meeting on May 18th for an action item for the board to determine what the boundaries will be based on the recommendations of our consultants and the community Dr info just um another one I just wanted to share with the community we're looking at the Calera boundary and

having to change create a new boundary to capture the the residents for the the new school the Lewis W Mourinho school but I also want the community to know that the the two schools will still go to Chino Hills Chino Hills High School so I don't want the community to think that the new school is going to go to a

different high school so everybody that lives in the current preserve area will continue to go to Chino Hills High School so I just wanted to cover that thank you Chris at the same time Eastvale Diamond Bar Pomona they should be welcomed to go to our school Dr Enfield right if there's room we should welcome everybody that would love

to go to the school well for those two schools we may not be able to because at Calera remember it's it's it's pretty impacted right now and part of the charge for that committee is to reduce the number of students on that campus to bring it down significantly so it's not over packed uh and overcrowded at that

school site so the the committee needs to do that and if you're allowing transfers into that it defeats that purpose and we've had calero closed off for transfers for a while just as we I know we've had roads but I don't recall if we've allowed that one open so when our schools get too impacted we we hold

them we freeze any transfers in so we'll have to take a look at that yes thank you I just have one comment I I like that there's a committee involving the community I think that really helps and I like the public meetings that are going to be happening and I'll make sure that we reach out to our city Liaisons

to possibly even have them there because I know they get a lot of questions and concerns from the city in regards to the school sure but thank you for doing this you're absolutely welcome thank you thank you okay we would be on now to comments from our student rep but she is at a water polo game so we're wishing her and her

teammates um Good Luck we miss her tonight and then we're now up for comments from employee Representatives we have Brenda Walker from Act no comments thank you we have Danny Hernandez from csca good evening president Shaw board members Dr Enfield cabinet and Community I just wanted to make a few brief announcements um csea's contract survey is currently live for members to submit

that of your interest in going um I did want to share also that soon we'll be having our job shadowing um our job shadowing is for the board of members to Shadow a classified member during their day sometimes we get so used to what maybe some others do about maybe simply just pushing a button that's all they do

they just stand there we have a few of our gentlemen out there that have to wear a vest all day Mr Monroe you're probably pretty aware of that it's not so easy not that I do it but I hear from them their concerns if you look at our officers our Chino PD and our security there's it from the

next year he wants to learn Mandarin too we would like to the sooner you write start learning a language the more you know it please add TK to him our DLI program next year thank you for your time thank all of you guys for your time Daphne Duran followed by Waverly Foo followed by Kenneth Zao I just came to introduce myself I'm a

new field representative for assembly member of Freddie Rodriguez and I am representing Chino and Upland so any assistance you may need please feel free to contact our office to contact me directly I'll leave business cards for everyone thank you awesome thank you for coming tonight Waverly followed by Kenneth Zell followed by Jennifer Zell good evening ladies and gentlemen my

name is Waverly Foo I am the council for the who represent the student in your flyer that and got his suspension record expunged from the district with my clients for authority and some other concerned parents tonight we are here to share with you our stories and struggles during this very difficult process California law requires the district to

start investigations and to offer the final decisions in 30 days upon receiving the student's request for your challenge the record that of course did not happen to us in our case so I made several phone calls to the district's student service support department and I made I wrote seven letters and emails no results so I personally met its director

Miss Stephanie Johnson to discuss the matter and of course she um she refused answerable questions she abruptly determined in the meetings and literally kicked all of us out of the room so what do we do we contact Mr James knob our long time interested and respect the member and thanks to his strong leadership we quickly met our

superintendent Dr Norm field who reviewed the documents who did his due diligence very quickly and made the right call and expunged the record we thank for his leadership too we're very happy everybody because we thought the matter was resolved it was not very quickly after the meeting we received a letter from the district risk management and the human resource department

alleging two of the men's student supporters are being aggressive and dangerous and therefore if they ever show Whiteman district meetings to support the student he they will be called in the police and that we put in the county jail and ladies and gentlemen and this is a letter from our district risk management and human resource department initiated

by the Miss Johnson I am absolutely outraged and saddened by this letter this is outrageous because this is Italian efforts to silence our students and our parents when all they want to do is just Express their concerns with the district and this is also the violation of the First Amendment rights here in the U.S the fundamental constitutional

rights freedom of speech still matters to us and no district attorney the employees is allowed to take that right from parents just because they want to talk to the district I am also deeply saddened because this letter demonstrate the quality and incompetency of our certain management employees in our district they are trusted with the mission to support and

serve our students and parents but this letter shows otherwise so here tonight we demand our district to implement more policies to strain and to audit the employees so they know how to do their job better and they will know they will be held accountable for any intentional misconduct just like this letter tonight we demand change and reform from

this District so it can serve our students our parents thank you thank you Kenneth Kenneth Gizelle bought by Jennifer Zell followed by Steve a like follow me hey everyone my name is Jennifer Zhao I'm the pastor of Shanghai Vineyard where Noah also known as City on the Hill Christian Church in Chino we have been residents of Chino Hill for almost

five years so seven years now and so thank you for this opportunity to speak and bring up my request to the school board members and the superintendent so let me first introduce myself by saying that my husband and I love our community and we try to be a responsible citizen to contribute in however ways that we can for example during the outbreak of

covet 19 in March and April of 2020. I raised about twenty thousand dollar to buy PPE for hospitals during those times when everyone is afraid to go out I look for vendors to buy surgical facial masks facial Shields and protective clothes and deliver personally to many hospitals including Pomona Valley and Ontario Kaiser and during the Chino Hill fire in

December of 2020 we also raised money mostly from the Ayala Chinese parents to buy the most expensive ice cream from the markets and then we bring it to all the fire departments in Chino and Chino Hills so as a small church about maybe 10 to 20 families it's a very small church but we do what we can to bless our communities

we have full Ministries my husband was a team maker he's a computer programmer he works full-time job but every Friday he goes on our guests many to Santa Anna to different places to the food bank to bring food and then Saturday we have volunteer students to deliver a provide food for 50 to 70 families on a weekly basis

and so most of all as a pastor I try to care for the new Chinese immigrants families I started social media groups so Canyon Hill High School Ayala Chino Hill High School and I would often translate and deliver messages from your you know School District from schools principals to the Chinese family that may not you know speak and read English

so many parents will often text me call me about school problems issues and I always like accompany them you know I try to solve problems for them when I whenever I can so last year San Bernardino County gave me a word for being a multilingual volunteer something like that so by doing something good is my way to serve God and to show my care

for our community but unfortunately that I'm here tonight attending the school board meeting to defend my reputation because I have recently been falsely accused please hear my report misuse of power in our school district by the student support services department and the risk management and HR department in the process of helping a high school student and his parents on Friday January 13th

when I have the meeting here with Dr Park and superintendent I receive an email threat of fine and imprisonment of up to six months from the director of risk management and HR department in this email that was sent to me Miss Fields was addressing to both my husband and myself saying that the school values safety and that

they were employees from the student Support Services who had made thank you complaints about my husband and my behavior very good hearing the next speaker is Kenneth Zao followed by Steve a followed by Barbara Hale no honorable School Board of Directors um I want to let you know that the nurse churches Prairie meeting will have been praying for you guys I'm a Christian I'm

a pastor my name is Ken Zhao I served as a missionary and also the founder of the church two churches both in another country and in this country Apostle Paul wrote in Roman 13 that we need to respect the authority rest in the various government levels including the school districts because all authorities are from God in turn the

governments are as Servants of God will protect us and serve the people and be accountable to the Lord Almighty people who govern the governor governance are Mortals and we are suspectable to make mistakes and cause failures therefore because the government wields some tremendous power and the resources which can cause severe damages it needs to be checked and watched in a

Democratic Society I want to let you know that we have personally experienced the abuse of the power by the Chino Valley School District employee some of the official habitually made up rules to do things beyond their mandate and then later try to cover up their wrongdoings the people will bear a false witness to have the HDR and risk management

department to issue some both illegal and unconstitutional threat against us for helping a student and tarnish our reputation I was born from entering the school district property because I was accused of interrupting the meeting with the disruptive behavior and then calling people's names the truth is that when confronted with the facts the director of the student support department

abruptly stopped the meeting to prevent the unfavorable statements from entering into the meeting minutes and ushered us all out in 50 minutes we are done found and angered by this Brazilian Behavior which shows no respect to the student and parents rights I have seen this behavior in another oppressive regime I don't want to name the name here

but I think Mr James now who invited me to come to this District any time without worry so I come today I want to let you know we are trying to reach out to the Azure Department four days later they gave us uh answers and your request the meeting is rejected witness against us Slender my name and

then I don't have a chance to clear my name so I want you guys to do something in this District to help the minorities to give us a chance to talk to this uh different levels of the district so that we don't repeat the same mistake that I'm suffering thank you very much thank you Steve a followed by Barbara Hale

followed by Misty hi good evening ladies and gentlemen of the board I'm here to talk about an administrative um assault that I was that had occurred I have a pretty pre-written statement that I'm going to read from this letter is concerning a recent situation that deals with the threats in physical intimidation assault by a Chino Valley assistant principal aniamu anuanu at

Townsend Junior High my name is Steve Austin I'm the father to a daughter named Bobby Austin who is currently an eighth grader at Townsend junior high for the past month my daughter has been the victim of online bullying abuse harassment which included physical threats violence and campus harassment bullying and threats of violence although the campus said that they had

the situation under control and we're monitoring it this is one of my complaint begins after receiving a very distressing call from my daughter who was in tears and so emotional that I could barely make out her words from getting attacked and sucker upon from behind I immediately raced to the school to pick my daughter up and ensure her

safety I knew that I wanted to talk to the principal to find out how this could have possibly happen when they told me they were handling this situation and monitoring it daily the minute I walked into the school office I saw people sitting on the way couch being that my daughter was just attacked I figured that this was the attacker's mother as I

was going to introduce myself to her one of the office staff asked me to step back in the vice principal's office which I did leaving my other daughter back in the waiting room as I entered the vp's office they closed the door behind me I reopened the door immediately and added and admittedly was upset saying please don't leave please

don't close the door my other daughter's out there in reality I wanted to make sure that I knew my other daughter was going to be safe when the office was filled with people that were involved in this situation sure enough just as I was walking to take my seat in the vice principal's office I hear noises and yells coming

from the waiting room I immediately ran to the door to see what was going on and I said look out into the waiting room I see a very large gentleman larger than myself Mr anyanu onion I'm sorry about his name I have a hard time pronouncing it manhandling my daughter and grabbing her by not only her hair and her spy her

hair and her sweatshirt my immediate reaction is oh no this girl this is the girl's dad and he is now attacking my daughter I see a man wearing plain clothes nothing showing me he's an administrator staff or a teacher so I immediately run from the vp's office with my wife and vice principal until I grabbed the man from behind in a hugging

motion to pull him off my daughter at no point at no time did he ever announce himself or tell me who he was as soon as I grabbed him he fired up turned on me and pushed me back once we were both standing he proceeded to approach me with his head on my head very aggressively in Manor and standing in a

fighting posture he was breathing extremely heavy and came in with a headbutt style motion knocking my head off while proceeding to push his forehead against my forehead with a pretty strong force for at least 45 to 60 seconds this entire time I had not raised my hands my posture or my voice in fact I didn't really say anything at

all I stood in stoic silence still not knowing who he was I don't think this man had and his with with his size or statue should be grabbing miners in the fashion like my wife and I witnessed yesterday especially not a female minor I believe this man is a threat to the kids after what I witnessed yesterday I

feel he should have a full mental and psychological evaluation and I do not fit do not see he is fit to be around uh children at this age he's a serious liability to the school the school district and the children this is a kid this is an age where kids Rebel and challenge authority and this man's attitude is not cut out to deal with

these type of Crisis situations how he turned on me and one afternoon thank you completely unconscionable thank you very much for your time thank you Barbara Hale followed by Misty followed by Carla vandersteek hi good evening my name is Barbara Hale and I'm the executive director of Sycamore Academy I'm here tonight to continue the discussion regarding the

over allocation fee that cvsd is charging Sycamore Mr Morabito made a request of you during a board meeting a few weeks ago I followed up that request in writing president Shaw called me last week to inform you that the board met with its legal counsel and agreed to modify the payment schedule but was advised that they cannot alter the total

amount due I'm not sure the basis that your attorney provided so I'm here to tell you that he's wrong and I'm going to explain why you see I too serve as an elected official and in that role nothing chaps my hide more than someone telling me that our board doesn't have authority that is clearly outlined in the law so

now not only am I fighting for my students but I'm fighting for this board I want to explain that the over allocation fee identified in prop 39 facilities legislation was enacted in 2000 the first time an over allocation fee was assessed was in 2019 in Los Angeles it's not that over allocation had not occurred and that is proven by

Los Angeles itself when they first assessed the fees on 41 charter schools in 2019 they also attempted to assess fees for prior year over allocations this attempt proves that over allocation had occurred but no fees had been assessed La was not penalized or otherwise reprimanded for not assessing these fees in the prior years to date I can list all the districts that have

assessed over allocation fees that would be LAUSD and Chino the oh that this alone proves that you are not required to assess the fees but let's dig a little bit deeper it clearly is stated in title V section 1196.8 quoting the school district May at its sole discretion reduce the amounts owed by a charter school end quote I know that your attorney Mr

chidester has repeatedly stated that Ed code requires you to assess this fee I disagree but let's say that that is true what is also true is that title V section 11969.8 allows you to reduce the fee and puts no limit on how much you can reduce that fee so circling back to my prior statement about things that chap by hide

ccr5 CCR Title 5 Section 11969.8 explains over allocation fees and the authority of this board you absolutely have sole discretion this board has the authority to stop taking money away from our students it is one hundred percent your choice Mr chidester should have advised you that according to our current agreement page four item seven you need to take action to modify

our agreement I am asking this board to put a resolution on the next agenda my preference would be a resolution to reduce the Sycamore over allocation fee down to the amount paid to date and 85 000 fine for not meeting an enrollment projection sounds far more reasonable than a two hundred and forty five thousand dollar fine alternatively if

this board insists on taking the full 245 000 from Sycamore students please adopt a resolution uh modifying the payment schedule as offered my board would then have to adopt to the resident the next speaker is Misty followed by Carla vandersteek followed by candida echeverria thank you good evening I was speaking with my cousin Nia about a month ago or so

um she has a son who was Oliver who is now Olivia um she also has a special needs daughter so we got to talking for a couple hours and some of the things that we were discussing really started bothering me we are constantly bombarded in our society on the news social media and lately in our schools and school board meetings

about lgbtq rights and frankly I'm a little bit over it did you know that special needs kids make up about 20 of the students in the school district 20 percent lgbtq I'm gonna go high and I'm going to say about five we have been told um that there's in-services for the teachers for the lgbtq community that they are wanting curriculum for

inclusivity empathy they want to use the bathrooms that they identify with and teachers are now hanging Flags in their room so that students know it's a safe place so tonight I am here to speak up for special needs kids like my daughter they are the ones that need the world standing up for them and advocating for their rights

they don't get to speak up um they don't get to choose which disability they've been given they are the ones that are truly ignored forgotten bullied and excluded with that said I am calling for the Absolution of all special ed classes in the district I want my daughter included in regular Ed classes I want this flag hung up in all classrooms

so that my daughter knows that she's safe I want these books used on Rhett syndrome handbook to teach all the teachers how to deal with special needs Rhett syndrome you can even put up flags for Down syndrome autistic it's time that we look at the the greater amount and that some of these people that think that they don't have rights start

looking and stop being so selfish and realizing how truly blessed they are that they can speak attend school and be in a regular ed class oh and I would like bathrooms to have a large table with a lift thank you [Music] thank you followed by candida chavaria followed by Leslie Furr hi I'm speaking tonight for my dad Al

vandesake he couldn't be here he's at our food bank where I've come from that's why I look like this um he wanted me to reiterate that the naming of this is in regards to the new preserve School the naming School naming a school after a person is a mistake in today's society people's names are being removed from schools and public

buildings a thorough background check should be done prior to selecting a name to prevent embarrassment in the future so just to consider that with the naming of the school thank you candida echeveria followed by Leslie fur followed by Caitlin Martinez good evening everyone I'm candida echeveria I'm a long time Chino residence as well as a Chino high school

graduate in 1986 and I'm here uh one I love the new campus I think it's beautiful I did have a lot of fond memories of the old campus but the new one is I'm sure very needed and beautiful with that I was a basketball and volleyball player and spent a lot of time in the old gym and very much know

that how much hard work and dedication comes from both the athletes and the volunteer and the paid parents as I mean coaches and who spend all the time nurturing the student athletes and at the old gym I know there was a couple of coaches that have spent spent many years coaching at Chino high school and did a

lot of good Frank Elder and Joe Merlot and I know what the new gym I think it'd be nice to have their names prominently demonstrate it are shown somewhere to honor their history with the school and they're successful with the programs so that is what I'd like to hope that the board will consider and I appreciate your time thank you thank you

so much Leslie Furr followed by Caitlin Martinez good evening I'm the mother of those exceptional triplets that you heard from earlier and they are part of the inaugural Mandarin DLI program at Hidden trails and we just wanted to come and thank the board in the school district for investing in such a fantastic program we are going to help these students

become truly Global bicultural biliterate students and that is awesome I will say it has been a little bit like we are building the airplane while it is flying in the air and the district has been doing a tremendous job but we wanted to come and share some suggestions that will greatly improve this program the first of which is

offering this program as all-day kindergarten so I would encourage the board and the district to start talking to the teachers union every surrounding District that borders ours has already solved the issue of they have at least an option for all-day kindergarten it may not be Universal in their districts but they do at least have that option so

it is a solvable problem we have very limited instructional minutes in half day kindergarten and so and we're running a 90-10 model which means that 90 percent of those instructional minutes are taught in Mandarin and only 10 of the minutes are dedicated to English instruction this is the model that is shown in research to deliver the best outcomes however it is incredibly

challenging to accomplish in a half day setting so expanding the program to all day would be a tremendous help additionally neuroplasticity is what helps kids learn language the sooner you start the better we should follow the model of Pasadena and Ontario Montclair and we should expand this program to TK immediately selfishly as they said they have a little brother who already wants

to learn Mandarin he will be in TK next year the school has the room to do it it will increase the visibility of this program and it will incred incredibly increase the success of our outcomes we're going to make this program into a destination program in our destination district and I would you I would invite you all to come and see what is

happening at Hidden Trails because it is fantastic so thank you very much awesome thank you Caitlin Martinez good evening board you're on it Cruz good job so we see so many parents out here frustrated with failed um employees and people that you guys put in charge and it's you guys get the hot seat you guys on the sides are just as

much to blame you guys have been in place for a lot longer Park I haven't seen you drop the poem so many things right out you've had your hands tied to so many things too and you guys don't ever take the heat you guys do unfortunately and it's time that that change so we're gonna start digging we've already said

humor you were behind here Rose will reversed a couple years ago when we told you infield that we will take seats and that's what we did things have shifted and you know that we have people behind us that are frustrated with people that are in roles there to protect our kids and once again it doesn't happen and we have principles

abusing Authority now we have Mick Reynolds oversped she's a director of her sped she was lost for other parents that don't know um she was a principal for another High School in another District she lost her job over I believe abuse sex abuse allegations not allegations there's a lawsuit 2.8 million dollars she was tied to and when she lost her job we hired

her to go over and see her most vulnerable kids so that is who we are hiring and I know you as the board aren't aren't the ones in charge of that but we need to do better because as you can see between all these people between Ayala and Townsend and Mick Reynolds we are we're failing our kids for me for my

son I I pulled him from our schools he has Down syndrome and I can't risk him he's not verbal enough he came home with too many bruises on his arms with AIDs that weren't properly vetted and that falls on you guys you too you guys are in a position to protect our kids do you guys actually like kids

and our only action item tonight is item one a one two a one and that's opposing of moratorium on the new single District selfas by two years from June 30th 2024 to June 30th 2026. board president Sonya Shaw recommends the Board of Education Direct the superintendent to send a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom and other Associated decision-making bodies

opposing the extension of the moratorium on a new single District selfas by two years from June 30th 2024 to June 30th 2026. Pat are there any speakers we have five speakers the first speaker is Darris De Guzman followed by Jim Gallagher followed by Kathy Gallagher waiting for the green light good evening board president Shaw board members cabinet and community

as a special ed parent I want to express my support for the action item on today's agenda and encourage not only our board but our entire Community to send a letter to the governor legislators and state legislators to end the moratorium on single District selfas it's time we re-evaluate our relationship with West End selpa and hold the accountability and financial

responsibility locally too often I've heard of painful stories not just my own but from other parents who have fought and battled with our district our district who is backed and supported by lawyers and attorneys incentivized by selpa these aren't just current occurrences and experiences but years of a broken system these stories are from parents that don't have the financial ability to hire

lawyers like selpa when you have a child with a disability more often than not you have one parent that has to stay home and you're living on one single income these are parents that only want the services and support to help their children Thrive and succeed while the district continues to refuse deny and battle parents the one who

suffers the most are the students every delay that we get is time we can't get back to help our kids succeed it's time for a change to this broken system thank you for your time thank you Jim Gallagher followed by Kathy Gallagher followed by Courtney Bogle thank you good evening board Dr Enfield staff and fellow residents I'm here also

to comment on this uh moratorium the opposition of moratorium a new single District self is a letter that you would like to write and I'm speaking for a secondary special ed teacher who asked me to read this uh she presents positives and negatives about this so the positives of becoming our own self is that we would reclaim

most of the students in County classes as well as some of the students in the non-public schools which could save us a lot of money since we will have our programs in-house as part of that in regards to non-public school students we wouldn't have to interface with the West End selpa as basically a third party so to speak to have kids who need to travel

back and forth to that we might be able to manage or deal with some of our more challenging high profile cases better in some aspects now the downside she said is that without that Consortium that's the West End selpa as a neutral group we won't have the resources to deal with some of our most difficult cases and

while we can create our own programs one hundred percent of the responsibility for the district to have classes for all students including low incidents such as our deaf part of hearing students for example means we would have to have entire teams and Specialists for elementary middle and high school ASL classes for example so we also need our own specialized

audio audiology center it would cause a major expansion of the special education department this office is supposed to relocate to the new building by the way but we would need more space for other Specialties such as physical therapy vision impaired Jeff Hardy hearing and classes on our campuses for those classes now some classes would require substantial retrofitting or multiple

rooms for a small group due to the needs space not all campuses have I might add I see one or two classrooms she said available at some Elementary sites but she seriously doubts our middle and high schools have the extra rooms for that without hauling in a bunch of temporary buildings and trailers and that's also a tedious process uh

a secondary another secondary and Elementary School teacher also wrote so we have a little bit of time she's basically said our district does not have the capacity to become its own selpa we need the resources provided by Western self so I'll end with that thank you thank you Kathy Gallagher followed by Courtney Bogle followed by Rita Loof

it's Kathy Gallagher I have worked with students and children for over 50 years 36th of those years as a professional special education speech language pathologist in the Roland School District I'm here to discuss Dr Shaw's Mrs Shaw's recommendations to oppose the extension of the moratorium first of all I'm here to say that we are here to support and provide the best

education and services for all of our regular ed students and our special ed students so I'm not here to not to knock anything down I'm here to just ask some questions and give my input as a person who's been in the field for a long time the special ed idea requires end is the individuals with disability Education

Act requires all students with disabilities to be given faith and that's a free and appropriate education there are 13 idea disability categories and some of these include autism learning disabled intellectual disability deaf hard of hearing blind visually impaired emotionally disturbed and your designated instructional services such as speech and Visually Impaired and RSP in order to create a single District

selpa it will require a lot of energy time research planning and considerations for funding availability and resources it must also be a process that involves numerous team members including a selpa director program specialist regular and special ed teachers designated instructional Services speech hard of hearing visually impaired along with other team members there are numerous pros and cons to single versus

multi-district selfas Pros include we have more control of special ed resources policies and procedures cons include the number of students with a disability if you have a small amount of people with that disability do you just mainstream them all or do you try to combine with another District or two to provide the best services for those people now enroll in Heights we combine

with Hacienda Heights which the two districts are medium-sized districts and so they're close to each other so we can meet those needs I don't know about eight districts or nine districts that we have in our selpa if that is the best either so I'm not promoting single selpa and I'm not promoting nine districts in a multi-salpa the other cons are available space small

work rooms special ed teachers and Specialists are hard to find recruit and keep and the costs of what single versus multi-district selfas are going to cost us we agree that Su the district needs to determine which services and programs will best meet the needs of our students this is a process involves as many team members I also question our motivation

to hurry and oppose this moratorium extension without some research I hope the board is a transparent and keeps their Constitution's constitutional constitutional good evening members of the board Dr Enfield cabinet and members of the community my name is Courtney and I'm a parent of an autistic kindergartner who attends the county special education program at Liberty Elementary School

through the district I'm here to share some questions and concerns that I have surrounding tonight's resolution opposing the moratorium on new single District selfas by two years from June 30th 2024 to June 30th 2026. first where's the letter that should accompany this resolution how can board members vote to prove something that they have not seen the public has zero

opportunity to review or weigh in on what would be sent on behalf of the parents and students in this District um second our district has been has our district been planning to transition to a single District selpa this has not been shared publicly if this is the plan if that is the case does our district have the resources to do this by 2024

and what will the cost be and what are the benefits third please consider other critical questions regarding the single District syllabus can we afford to operate a single District program do we have the means to staff in a single District Selva the district has already been struggling to staff special education positions right now while I am not necessarily opposed to the single

District program assuming that is the end goal I do wonder what this letter actually does to achieve that I know that our special education students and families need more help and support but this resolution feels performative like an empty move to score political points with special education parents instead of real action to help special education students additionally this faster

timeline seems unattainable and it concerns me that pushing this premature label result in a diminished services for special education students like my child this entire resolution is lacking transparency I'm requesting that President Shaw or any board member for that matter or Dr Enfield please provide the community with the answers to these questions and the plan to transition to a single

District sulfa I would also request this resolution be tabled until such answers are made available to the public and most importantly the parents and students you should be serving I also am curious like how staff overturned would be because my autistic child really struggles with transitions so if a lot of teachers and a lot of aides and

speech people are all moving at once like that could be detrimental to a lot of students health so I'm curious that was an afterthought thank you thank you Rita Loop good evening Rita Louvre and I am a member of the San Bernardino County Board of Education representing area B which is comprised of the communities of Upland Rancho Ontario Montclair uh and

Mount Baldy I'm here to thank the board for putting this resolution on the agenda and for opposing the moratorium now I've heard the pros and cons and this is not about the pros and cons of becoming a single District selpa at this point what we're talking about is local control for your board that decision should be made by

your board not by Sacramento this is about local control so you can choose to become your own selpa you can choose to stay with the West End silpa I'm advocating For Your Right to have local control and make those decisions for yourselves you're not getting your money's worth out of the West end selpa this is a myth I've been

a West Ends help a parent for over 20 years I know them well I see Mr Enfield at the selpa meetings one of the things that I've raised that I just heard from public comment is that they vote on the contracts for the lawyer sight unseen so talk about voting at least with this resolution we have some clear language

on what it attempts to do at the West End cell by the superintendents which are unelected administrators all of them they vote on contracts for lawyers sight unseen with no caps there's three million dollars a year going to law firms those are the people that are running the Selva it's the lawyers why do you think they're telling special ed

teachers do you think they're telling them to provide reading services or do you think they're telling them to create litigation so they can make money so the selpa is not neutral they are a special interest body run by lawyers and special interests so you definitely need to advocate for your right for local control for your community I

have heard the stories of the Chino Valley parents for many years if Ontario Montclair School District can become their own selpa and be a heck of a lot better off than I have faith in the Chino Valley School District that you're going to be able to be just fine the West End selpa is a shadow agency it's a middleman

bureaucracy and they spend they have a budget of 200 million dollars a year I think you can manage your own money and do a lot better so I encourage you to proceed and to oppose this moratorium I actually support part of the governor's proposal which includes tightening restrictions on non-direct services that are currently happening at the West End

selpa via the excessive litigation to deny services thank you for my speakers may I have a motion so moved may I have a second I have a couple of questions that uh that I want to bring up on this because I know the purpose of this letter is to pose extending the moratorium which means we we can't do anything about it

till at least 2024 if if it were to lifted but what other school districts are in opposition to this or have sent sent letters that's one question have we consulted with them how about other groups have we talked to staff sped teachers about their feelings on this issue of single versus multiple selpas we heard a couple of comments tonight

not to mention the financial implications of of leaving a multi-district to form a single cellpa will it save more money or will it cost dollars I'll take you back 22 years ago to 2001 when this District was in a bargaining crisis with its employees and the school board president at that time came up with the idea of forming a

single selpa to save money to then provide hopefully to settle a settle an agreement the problem with that was it found out it was going to cost more money also County programs wanted to take that over how many County teachers were going to stick around in the district or how many of them were going to leave there was a

meeting over in Ontario with all the county special ed teachers in the district and hardly anyone in fact I can't even remember one because I attended that meeting as a teacher in this District but not not a county teacher how many of them would stick around in Chino or how many of them would leave because the county had a better salary

schedule County had a better benefit schedule one of them asked the current director of Human Resources why should we stay in Chino the answer back to them was because it's a great place to teach that was the answer nothing else not you know we we're going to help with programs we're going to do or whatever that was the response

and so if something like that comes about and we take over County programs are we going to have an employee shortage because those teachers likely will stay with it will stay with the county the president of that of the County Teachers Association told me at that time that many of her members were not going to stick around

so we have to be cautious of that now I know we've got some got some time because if you look at the last sentence in the third paragraph on the on the agenda where it says extending the moratorium on forming single District selfas eliminates Chino Valley Unified School District's ability to determine which program serves the best needs of

our students I don't think that's the case we can we can study we can we can determine what so when the moratorium is lifted and it'll eventually be lifted either in two years or the extension that can be done ahead of time this doesn't this doesn't prevent if we don't do anything or don't send a letter it

doesn't prevent us from preparing to follow through on eventually forming a single cell phone if we determine that that's the best for this District so to me there's too many questions not enough answers to convince me to support this motion you know I'd like to send a letter uh I would you know go ahead but it'll be

without my vote you know I agree with Mr Bridge but um you know over the years there's always been problems and issues with with Selma over the years and and I I just chew on it for years and I pay attention there is a problem with this and this is great president but we have to go further than this and

the only way we can do this is to bust the contract and see what happens because that's what local control is about because these resolutions are great we have to go further than that and just an idea about Sacramento wants to extend this tells you in your mind this ain't good and I bet you our budget is the biggest

of the eight School District I would aggressively bust this thing up make it local have control let the parents decide what's good for the kids because I believe that that's the way we can find out that works because that's what Congress does right with bills 24 hours to read it find out what happens and this has been going on for years

for years with this and I've been hearing issues with a cell phone like I said I I always think about it always think about what's going on here bust the contract I see that that would be the best way to find out how good this is thank you Mr Chris Mr nah yes um the reason why we had

decided to build a brand new high school achino high school we had a valid reason before the school was built we were spending millions of dollars I think exact figure was about 13 million dollars plugging in holes to fix drains uh trying to fix uh fixtures the water lines for maybe 10 years and guess what the building was so old

it didn't really matter it didn't really matter for the kids because there were so many problems so one day we said you know we're not helping our children anymore we're just helping those subcontractors wanting just contracts it's old building they're making millions of dollars every year but kids can't see it the staffs cannot see it the teachers cannot see it

so we said enough is enough I think this is the same story we're talking about this uh Western sap out here um we have been hearing so many unjust things that's been happening to our special ed appearance for many many years but just because you need to be in this group you have to be now with this group uh

it's just such a big plan to move to another Serpa to do this so they just made you scared same thing with that new high school you cannot possibly build new school it costs 100 million dollars because 60 million dollars it's better to spend couple million dollars here couple Millions dollars here you know what there was a misguidance

I think it's time that we need to step up and start serving our specialized population and start serving our parents building or this entity itself is not for us not even for our cabinet members they could get jobs elsewhere they're Highly Educated they could become an engineer's doctors yes I have a Cabinet member who's got a daughter

just got eight pluses in her first quarter and that's why there's such a hard-working people uh we're all the same people we just we're different hats different jobs but we work hard and we work around our schedules because of our children and our special parents Misty I I agree with you 100 percent we need to survive 20 population

so I'm fully supporting being independent and and have the adjust for our children's sake and whether we go with another Serpa it's like when you want to purchase a brand new car people will tell you you know what don't buy such such brand because uh it breaks down every so often and and this is a brand that uh you want to buy and we get

advices same thing with these programs we hear from special ed parents from different districts a different cell phone so we need to this is time to venture out and and Shop and and find the best place to park our car and start serving our children and start having our children receiving their best education ever it could be

I think this is a Time how many more years we're going to plug in I think what's your budgeting special at 14 million dollars a year so we delayed another five years or ten years there's 140 million dollars went and and there's still pain and suffering for our children and our parents and and all we're doing is another

meeting another fight the courthouse for what filling out these long documents so we got that much time to waste on on our taxpayers money enough is enough I say so I'm going to fully support having the option to go shop around and and look for better uh plan independent whether it's going to be independent or another supper it's about

the time to change our car our car is broken everybody says that it's broken with not just a small detail but it's broken with transmission and an engine so time for a new car thank you thank you Mr uh Mr Monroe I've had an opportunity over the last month to meet with many parents special education parents teachers faculty members

one thing that strikes me in all of those meetings is every single one of them agrees that the special education system needs to change and nobody has a solution I'm normally I normally don't really like sending letters because I feel like nobody cares when you write a letter and do I really think Governor Newsom is going to look at our letter

and say well Chino Valley doesn't like it I have to say I really don't but in this case how do you move forward in trying to decide what's best for our children when you are taking possible solutions off the table I don't know how you come to the best solution when you limit the possibilities and that is what he would do in signing

that bill is limit the possibilities and this sending a letter isn't saying we're gonna do it but sending a letter hopefully in opposition of this says don't bind our hands for three and a half more years give us the opportunity if we actually have the chance to sit down as a district and come up with a system that

we think best serves our kids and if that's a single selpa then we do it but don't bind us that we can't if that's what best serves our kids it doesn't say we're gonna do it so I think we all agree something needs to change and I think we start right here by sending a letter saying don't

bind our hands give us the freedom to choose what serves Us best and if that's a single selpa so be it if that's not so be it but don't take possibilities away from us so I would support it thank you Mr Monroe Cruise you had your light on one more time real quick thank you Mr Cruz I did listen to all

your questions and I'll try to answer as many as I can if I miss them please send me an email or get me after the meeting um but I'm not here to do anything Reckless the children are are why I'm doing this I'm not doing this for anything political I I have no political aspirations so when I listen to parents

for the last couple years and I listen to teachers staff I just try to see what's going on and I see Sacramento trying to hand tie us for an additional two years and I think that's ridiculous maybe with the special ed committee that I have asked Dr anfield to work with the staff to form and those parents working

on that committee maybe we end up tying the knots between the cell phone us and we start serving our students and great we decide to stay with the selpa this is not to say that we are going to dislodge from the selpa tomorrow I mean that's reckless I'm not here to hurt any child any parent that would be absolutely

absurd I would never do that to us that's like driving in a car without insurance and not having my license it's not going to happen I did do a lot of homework I've talked to a lot of people who are in the field I've even consulted with Dr Enfield and said if we were to dislodge from the cell but first of all

it wouldn't be a one-person decision it would have to be a board majority so just so you guys know it wouldn't just be Sonya coming up here and saying we're dislodging it doesn't work that way there's no magic wand but I do have to say that I did find out we would have to have a plan we would have to have a

consultant we would have to start the plan a year before we decide we're going to get out which would be July of this year a lot of conversation can happen hopefully we have that parent committee we have more conversations with parents such as most of some of you in the audience that have shared so we make an

educated informed decision and we have things in place if we decide to to be able to serve our students we we know it's broken right now I've heard it I've seen it I've attended the cell phone meetings myself I've talked to parents I've talked to Educators I've talked to staff this letter is saying please Sacramento let us decide give us local

control just like at our school levels we still want them to have control they serve the community in which they're at and if we decide that we're just going to come and make all these decisions over them that doesn't give them an opportunity to truly serve the community right so we're asking Sacramento don't tie us down for two more years maybe we

might end up loving this elpa and working together but why should we be forced that's just weird to me that we're being forced for another two years in a relationship that we may not want let us decide that ourselves that's all this letter is and I will say one thing um with with trying to you know advocate

for the last couple years regardless of us thinking they don't listen to letters they do and it does work and calling does work working with your elected officials that's why they're coming out to these meetings their their field reps because they want to hear us these field reps here are these this is something they can help us

with right because if we have our our Senators and our um you know our elective officials helping us then maybe we might have a voice they might not make decisions that come down on us to be able to tie us into something that doesn't serve our students Chino Valley is unique we have amazing students we have amazing

teachers this all this is saying is that we want to be able to make that decision not them and I did bring the letter I and I did have it written up and I worked with Dr Enfield and our staff to have that letter so I will read it out loud so you guys are all aware and

there's transparency and if anybody wants a copy I would love to give it to them it has it I have to make sure that it you know it has to be approved and everything before but um IT addresses um our governor dear Governor Newsom the Chino Valley Unified District very much appreciates the governor's proposal as summarized on page 22 of the summary of

the governor's proposed 2023-2024 budget to limit the amount of funding that the selpas are allowed to retain for non-direct student services before allocating funds to the members of the leas parents have felt harmed by the extent excessive expendentures and legal fees to litigate against students with disabilities to deny them needed Services the district wholeheartedly wholeheartedly supports restricting the

use of special education dollars for services to help students rather to fund than fund lawyers we support education and not litigation in the spirit of Loca control we urge you give the flexibility to local educational agencies to make their own decisions as whether or not to join a special education local plan area selpa thus we do not support the

extension of the moratorium on the new single districts help us to June 30th 2026 sincerely Norman field superintendent I will say just to name a few districts that are single cellpas just so you guys know too we have Fontana Ontario Montclair Irvine Elias um SD and then San Diego we wouldn't do this recklessly at least I wouldn't I would do my homework I

would make sure I would consult with everybody before I decided to to disenlodge from the cell but all this is saying is please let us make that decision and I think that's all I have for comments Dr Andrew yeah I will make a comment on that um if if if the moratorium is not moved forward just so people understand we as

a district would would have to wait really until July 1st this July 1st of 2023 to see if they are going to extend that moratorium if they did not extend the moratorium then we would spend the 2023-24 school year planning for what is what our single selpa would look like we would have to work with the selpa in

that uh in that Exit Plan and what services that we would be providing and how would we provide those and then if there were services that we couldn't we'd have to work with other agencies to see who could uh pick up certain services so we have to really go through that whole year of developing that plan and then that would be submitted to the

state and we could not submit it until because there's a current moratorium until July 2nd of 2024. so then the state would have to take a look at our petition and if approved then it would not take effect until the 2025-26 school year so again that that gives us plenty of time to plan to look at that to get a plan ready to submit it

and then another year to work on that that exit plan from this elpa so just so people understand it it's not something that would happen overnight it is a a lengthy process thank you Dr Enfield okay I guess we'll move on all in favor all right all right and I'm I all opposed opposed any abstentions so the motion passes with the vote of

four to one that concludes the action item [Applause] we are now on to consent Pat are there any speakers on consent items board members do you have any polls Mr Bridge no pools Mr Cruz Mr Monroe no polls Mr nah and I have no pause for the remain well for the consent items May I have a motion

and a second second all in favor aye aye any opposed none the motion passes with the vote of five to zero we are now on to information items are there any speakers comments question or any speakers Pat none any comments questions from the board thank you president Shaw just a a few items tonight uh first uh congratulations to Hidden Trails on

their distinguished School award I apologize for overlooking that at the last meeting but I think it's a tremendous honor I had a chance to be at the uh at the opening of The Mandarin program dual immersion program and it's a terrific School well-deserved award my only sadness is that they're receiving the award in Anaheim on the night that

we have a school board meeting so we won't be able to to attend um winter sports season is in full swing is the and as the playoffs approach I had the chance to attend uh two basketball games uh first one at uh Chino uh hi Don Lugo at uh at Don Lugo and uh it was nice to see a crowd for

that also um uh I do have one thing Dr Enfield on after the game and walking out to the parking lot and maybe it shows my age or maybe the fact that I that I broke my kneecap 12 years ago I walking out to the parking lot uh the parking lot is well lit but the area from the gym down the driveway to the

fence is pretty dark and I would hate to see someone who's not familiar with that uh with that campus to step off the curb wrong or or somehow I I'm just I'm just kind of looking ahead I guess maybe I'm self-conscious on things like that but I wonder if there's a way we can get at least for night games to get a better

lit area from the gymnasium to at least the fence out to the uh the student parking lot then this week I was at uh yala high for the Claremont basketball game and it was nice to see you yalla do very well winning that game and it was on seniors night recognizing their their seniors uh yesterday was the signing day for

college letters of intent for our high school graduating athletes there's a lot from our schools that uh that signed letters too numerous to mention but if you uh would like to see the uh the names today's daily Bolton in the sports section has a list of not only our schools but the other schools in the area and I'm thinking Josh Thompson in

the Chino Valley Champion will probably have the list in Saturday's paper as well but congratulations to those students that signed letters of intent to further not only their athletic career but also in college coursework as well uh lastly uh and probably I think most important I had the chance to attend uh two events in our district last week uh

last Wednesday on the 25th the district science fair Awards program at Woodcrest Junior High many terrific projects were on display uh also I it was nice to see that the uh the county and even our district gives the students the option of going digital and putting their projects on on computer and in fact I want to congratulate all of the award

winners and wish them good luck in the county competition which does require that it be all digital when they get to that um special thanks to cattle principal Steve Buss and also Tracy Buss and Chris Summers for organizing a great event that evening and then finally on Thursday last week I attended the alternative education center 2023 graduation celebration where we had 12

graduates were recognized and honored as the class of 23 and a special thanks there to Dr Preston Carr director of the alternative education center and and the teachers and staff are a wonderful program and with that that concludes my remarks thank you thank you Mr Bridge Mr knob thank you for coming and you'll be always welcome to join us and share your

wisdom thank you and and please pray for all of our students in the district thank you thank you um I'd like to thank Richard Wells for inviting me and other board members who are school safety presentation that was held at Ayala High School it was a great event we had many parents attending and our District staff including Andy

our communication director who did a great job Chino PD and seven different County Sheriffs had shared very important information with our parents and particularly about bullying and and danger of uh today's social media and um I think I was thinking yeah that night instead of televising or youtubing our boring board meetings I think we should consider uh maybe doing those events and

and have it televised or YouTube so that more parents could watch it at their home because those information could be very very viral and and it directly affects the safety of our our students at home and also on campus uh item that maybe you could consider Dr anfield yeah we can look into that thank you so much okay thank you so

um after that I was able to talk to some of the students that we have attended AP class presentations in high schools and guess what most of high schools they're parking lots or four and that tells me how serious our teenagers are it's not working oh I'm sorry okay yeah so the most practical in the high schools

when they're doing AP class presentations and it had shown to me how serious today's teenagers are it's not just us or thoughts that who has to worry about dozen eggs for ten dollars in the market uh they're feeling it on the our future is what it used to be that that we had uh lived but future could be

somewhat very uncertain we have a high inflation factors going on we have uncertain economy and there are some Studies have done that if your annual salary is a hundred thousand dollars you could still be living a monthly basis check by check so I think the our today's childrens are more motivated self-motivated thank God for that to push themselves to

go get a higher education or or be in a right a technological field to receive a good Career Education and and it was shown on these high school campuses the the parking lots were full with high school kids want to see what type of AP classes that they could take so the things are changing and as we have lost last

good two three years of the pandemics it is us to make sure that our kids are encouraged and be prepared to be caught up in their education the last two three years and also they need to now move forward for next 10 years to catch up with other things that could happen in the future so we're in a very critical

uh Junction to push even our limits to provide the best education for our children I'd like to thank our great teachers in at Chino Valley because I have met many uh graduate students who are attending very good schools right now some are in east coast and many are at in UCLA and many UC systems and and they are doing extremely well

and I like to really give that kudos for our school staffs teachers and all the members in the school district um not only they're working for their own children but they're working for our children as well so I'd like to thank them and again people have different perspectives people would have different thoughts and knowledge and feelings too if our staffs

could provide customer service that that suits our stakeholders pertaining to our parents especially our parents I think it's very important because we need to partner with the parents to run to schools if we don't have a partner then we have to run a loan that's going to be a very lonely traveling it's always good to have a

good partners so I always appreciate all of our parents inputs whether I agree or disagree I just like to thank you guys for coming to our meetings thank you Mr na Mr Cruz well thank you Miss Misty you're always thoughtful you always have a lot of meaning behind what you say thank you very much thank you Pastor uh Miss luff

as well you know I also attended the police um what was that called the safety the safety let me tell you about this thing here real honest we wouldn't give our child fentanyl or drugs but we would give this and let me tell you this is really bad I think in the future this has done more damage to our

children than we can possibly imagine and something that's so hard now because it's so embedded in our children's lives but um this thing is super bad just I think all of us know that too [Music] you guys over there pressed you know um the whole nation during the pandemic theirs has been a 20 drop in academics very going back back in years and years

and the recovery who knows what the recovery is going to be but here at this District we are an exception that the ELA was plus one we improved than before the pandemic and yes for the math it was negative one but however compared to other school districts we are the exception that we we did things that really helped

a number of things starting school early you know having online at the same time having people come to school and all that the alternative stuff and maybe perhaps that 30 minutes maybe but it was quite impressive and also the parents too that supported that because a lot of the nation I mean they got screwed up with this two years

so obviously the teachers and the standards whatever the construction because obviously we all had to buy into it so we have to thank the staff the teachers it was quite it is amazing think about it it really is I attended the science fair um um I there's a fourth grade um oh it just caught my interest the title

of this project is What's blocking Wi-Fi and the hypothesis was denser materials will slow the download more speed and based on the conclusion it was more than just the dense of the material it was also the number of devices so I I thought it was so cool because I I enjoy this kind of stuff and you know I have I

have my my Wi-Fi meter and so from time to time I used it and I just shared this with you you know if you put this in your if you have a Tesla it's super bad I mean you're just caged up with EMF up the yin game so I just want to share that with you and in terms of the fun I

just want to put it in because there's some stuff but the distance you have to be this far for it to be like five or ten so you know when you're sleeping don't have it really close to you just push it away from you because about this distance you're actually good but if you're like this you're dealing like 300 uh let me I

can't say these units but you're dealing and having it in your pocket you know it's not a good thing okay but as for Tesla man this is Hardcore right just to share that with you I was I was surprised though so with this experiment it expanded my thought so I was really impressed a fourth grader and so it was

it was it was wonderful seeing this it's wonderful oh yes and I attended the graduation and I the great kids and um I'm so proud because it was the first one right it's been a while we had graduation yeah for the the program over at the AUC absolutely in a while since we had that in person it was good awesome yeah so

let me take off my jacket I thought I had I have a wonderful idea I want to start doing it actually I enjoy in my heart author Joe whiteek I love this book simply and Charming there is a cut out of a heart on each page is about all the things that Encompass your heart like being brave

and courage our heart is full of feelings big feelings and small feelings and Loud feelings and quiet feelings quick feelings and so forth feelings my heart is like a house with all these things living inside yeah but other times my heart is cool I Bob along gently like a balloon on a stream our heart feels lazy and slow as quite a

snowfall this is when my heart is calm Dr anfield oh I'm going to donate this to cattle okay so I'm gonna start doing that I think that was a great idea and I will donate Elementary books things that catch my attention thank you thank you thank you all right let's get rolling with us now you know I'm gonna first say this and I

try to be as quick as possible but these things do mean something because you'll notice that it's breaking out and I just want to say non-self versus self if you have a cell Machinery making something that is non-self you could imagine inflammation a a um an attack because your cells are not supposed to make something that is non-self and that

is the spike protein and maybe that is the problem that maybe that is the problem where people are having heart issues maybe the problem with your brain your liver because some of this stuff gets lodged into your organs and your tissue and you start getting inflammation because the body only recognizes self and anything that's non-self starts attacking it so I'm going to start

listing things that the past week things that I've been hearing director of CDC vaccine task force emitted c19 vaccines are causing debilitating illness top Insurance Josh Sterling I recognized MIT analyze find seven increased aggregate mortality for each c19 dose received the more doses you get the more death you get if you're over 50 it's 35 percent insurance companies they also see the

same thing one particularly 40 percent that work before the pre-pandemic the German government bombshell allowing numbers of vaccines are developing AIDS Thailand princess 44 years old remain unconscious more than three weeks after collapsing due to heart problems she collapsed 23 days after she received her booster this may be the first country that will declare null avoid the pharmaceutical

company the the contracts they had changed the PA range normally was 0.12 to 0.2 now it's 0.12.3 EKG is the reading of your heart rate so they're changing it why I don't know why despite proteins associated with covid-19 virus mRNA vaccines could be causing accelerated degradation of cells in the human body causing organs to biologically age more rapidly

clinical research and Cardiology University of pathologies got a hold of 25 bodies 5 out of 25 of those died of myo cardio inflammation after taking the vaccine that's 20 death rate circulating Spike protein discovered in Blood of children and young adults with vaccine-induced myocarditis Journal of American Heart Association 100 to 436 billion copies of Spike protein circling

freely in the plasma you know you know I feel it's important that I start doing this to in order to wake up because it just we have a moral burden to bear to protect our kids at least we have to try and um I mean that matters a lot and I'm going to be real blunt right now

I'm gonna be real blunt where's that where's that paper because I'm going to say something that's on my mind and I have to say I have to say it hold on oh my gosh okay I'm just I have to say this okay because I miss mine I have always thought of this okay you're taking what it is but I have to

tell you you know when I think of climate change you got to think of death you gotta think of depopulation that the MRNA is actually depopulation that this war we have in Russia it is World War III it is a form of depopulation okay many of the food processing centers and even the chicken head that burned about

about a week ago where a hundred thousand children have died and knowing that that they may be tampering with a feed the price of eggs I mean when you're decreasing nutritional value you're also killing people inflation poor nutrition same thing Energy prices when senior citizens cannot warm up their homes what do you think is going to happen

the potential grid collapse they're always talking about that now and and the division of our nation and at the same time what they're doing to our kids so they won't have children in the future is you know a serious country should be telling their children that they're born with the wrong gender it is unheard of but yet it's been going over the past

three years and there's a gender affirmative carry it is physical abuse when you connect the dots you see what they're doing they are killing us and I feel like we don't have time we have to wake up and change this direction because it's it's up you can just see the pattern so that's what I want to share

and the more I the more I feel to tell you I will tell you so I have two years here so thank you thank you Mr Cruz Mr Monroe I had some comments but in the interest of time I'm going to say I donated my time to Mr Cruz and I'm going to forego my comments thank you Mr Monroe Dr Enfield yeah just

one comment I I want to um thank the our parents and community members who've volunteered to be on the boundary committee at calero uh preserver that new boundary that's not a committee that I think many people uh jump up and down to be on so again I appreciate that they volunteered to be on that so thank you

thank you Dr Enfield and I will try to make it short and sweet before um I get to an action item that I want I just want to thank you everybody for coming out and voicing your concerns and also to our three cute little um students that came and spoke that was just precious so I thank them even

though they left because I know it's probably their bedtime now Dr anfield is there a way that I can initiate an action item to have our new court over that's being built over at Chino high or to be able to name after two of our coaches that have done tremendous things that is uh uh Mr Frank Elder and Mr Joe Murillo

yeah I'll work with Mr Stitcher um and go through the the process through our board policy okay awesome thank you and then I just want to say um I appreciate Cal Arrow Butterfield and Chino Hills High for opening um there aren't their hearts and their arms and giving us uh Dr Enfield and I a great tour I was able to see firsthand how how

awesome it was that the kids were able to go up to their principles I always think that's important because you know they're they're the principles they respect the authority but just to see the relationship those principals have with the students and see how comfortable the students are to ask for help when in need I think that is as a

parent that was just a tremendous thing so I really want to thank them for allowing us to come and visit I know it's hard and it interrupts their days but I I hope that these visits that we continue to do just only help link us all together I was able to attend with um I actually saw Mr Monroe over there

the career fair for our students with special needs today I think that was a great I was blowing way when I walked in I even took my um my younger daughter with me because she got out early that was awesome I I really at the more that these you know that you go and visit these things it just

reminds me how great Chino Valley has been since I was younger I was able to go to the County of San Bernardino superintendents Awards he honored our our ROP program over at Ayala with Michael and Dr yarboy and it was just it was a fun night at the drive I wasn't looking forward to because I don't like

driving at night but it was really cool to see them honored and and everybody appreciating them and asking them questions about the program and then also listening to the other programs that the other districts did I think that is a great thing because we were able to kind of say hey we like that too the science fair I want to congratulate

all of our scientists and also for our alternative Ed graduates uh congratulations you guys did amazing and um Dr Carr over there that was a great service for them um I'm glad that we're able to send that letter I also attended the school safety presentation if you guys can attend one of those throughout you know sometime hopefully soon when they do have them I

highly recommend it I learned a lot of things sitting there and listening to our officers and and their presentations I also want to congratulate hidden trails and I will look into with you about our TK and Mandarin programs as well I think that's all I have I probably had more but I want to make sure everybody gets out of here at a

decent time I thank you all for coming again and I now adjourn the red
