The scheduled presentation from Dr. Shelley Adams on Baldy View RO Career Technical Education Program has been rescheduled to the March 19th meeting. We look forward to learning more about the vital role CTE plays in this student success when she joins us next month.

And now we're on to item 1D. That is the staff's report regarding the LCAP. Good evening, President Shaw, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield, cabinet, and community. Our report to the board this evening is on the local control and accountability plan, also known as the LCAP. This report offers a mid-year snapshot of the available data alongside our

expenditures and the implementation level of actions outlined in our current LCAP. As a reminder, our existing LCAP consists of four overarching goals designed to address the eight state priorities. Tonight, we will only report midyear progress on goals three and four and their associated metrics, actions, and services as a report for goals one and two occurred at the January meeting.

LCAP goal 3 states that all students are prepared for college and career beyond graduation. The metrics for goal three are reported tonight as met, in progress, or to be determined with a specified time frame of when that will occur. Essential standards assessment participation will be completed and determined in May. Our student achievement scores on the CASP in

English language arts, math, and science have increased and we have met our desired outcome. Our English learner reclassification rates and results of the English language proficiency assessment remained steady over the past several years with slight variations and we are in progress with this metric. We continue to see increases on our college and career indicator and we have

met our desired outcome. Our students earning a three or higher on advanced placement exams has increased and we have met our desired outcome. Students earning college credit has also Presented in a left to right format, the table showcases the key metrics comprising our college and career report. All four metrics for the 2024 2025 academic year experienced growth

compared to the previous year. For your reference, we've included the county and state results for 20 for the 2425 school year. Notably, Chino Valley graduates surpass both the county and state averages across all measures. There are 19 actions identified that support LCAP goal three. On this slide, you will see the first nine actions. Column one indicates the actions

followed by the budgeted amount, then estimated actuals through midyear, and the last column reflects our implementation level for each action. The last column will show fully implemented or partially implemented. Partially implemented indicates that we are in process and those actions will be completed by the end of the school year. For action six, college nights at junior high and high schools will continue this

spring. You will see some actions with a 0 amount that support our high school students with being prepared for college and career. This means these actions still occur with existing staff within our organization. Actions 16 and 17 support our dual language immersion program and biiteracy pathways and the assessment resources needed to determine students multilingual abilities. For action 19, our regional occupation

program allows students to increase career readiness. The state requires districts to establish a goal specific for our schools with high transiency rates and high percentages of socioeconomically disadvantaged students. LCAP goal 4 supports our students at our continuation high schools, Buenav Vista and Boys Republic and our community day school, Chino Valley Learning Academy. While these schools have unique

challenges, there are huge celebrations to acknowledge. The graduation rate at Boy Republic increased by approximately 10%. CASP scores for English language arts at Buenav Vista increased by 16.5 points and science by 12.7 points. Although do we do not have the results from this year's school quality survey yet, past survey results have indicated that both students and parents are highly engaged

and connected with their schools. Our CASP results have continued to increase districtwide, but as this goal but as this goal is tied to only three schools, we continue to support teachers with professional development to address the unique challenges and learning gaps. There are eight actions identified for LCAP goal 4 that specifically support Buenav Vista, Chino Valley Learning

Academy, and Boys Republic High School. For action two, math professional learning communities. As math is an area of need, math teacher teams have opportunities to collaborate on student learning and receive ongoing professional development. For action six, student connectedness, we have additional staff to support wraparound services for students so they feel connected to their school. For action seven, Buenav Vista Infant

Toddler Center. We provide resources so all students can have access to child care when they are a student and parent. This concludes our update on goal four and concludes our entire midyear update on LCAP goals three and four to the board of education this evening. >> Thank you very much. Board members, would you like any comments, questions?

Chris, >> no. Chris, >> the progress is is awesome. We're going the right direction. Everything that we're doing is very positive. So, good job. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Thanks, Luke. That's uh this is fantastic. Hey, on uh the LCAP goal 3 16 and 17, you said this was uh language immersion. What grade levels is this? >> We have our Mandarin program that is now

up to third grade and our Spanish immersion program now up to second grade. So, it will continue to grow every year. >> Are we planning on uh introducing other languages as well? >> Um not at not at this time. We were >> the commonly spoken in our community. >> Awesome. Thank you. Awesome. I just want to point out I I love the

college and career report and I love that you guys are always leading the way. Um especially compared to the state and the county. I just it makes me as a parent feel very comfortable and as a board member excited that you guys are headed in the right direction for our kids and I just want to acknowledge that. So thank you.

Seeing that there's nothing else, I think we're good. Thank you. Okay, we're now on to comments from our student representative who by the way did an amazing job at our student government day and Chino Hills hosted and he was the host and the MC and you did an awesome job. So Phoenix, I'll give it to you. >> Good evening board president Shaw,

members of the board, Superintendent Enfield and distinguished guests through our high schools in CBSD. We recently participated in a student government day. There our seniors had the opportunity to experience leadership positions within our community where they got to work alongside the city of Chino, city of Chino Hills, Chino Valley Unified School District, and the Chino Valley Independent Fire District. Here,

students were able to experience government at the local level and see how they serve our community. At Ayala, students sold Valentine Grams. Additionally, their co choir hosted a benefit concert in support of the Children's Hospital of Orange County Foundation. Currently, they are in preparations for their upcoming Zootopia rally. At Chino, students were recognized for their accomplishments through their student of the month

awards and perfect attendance a recognition. They [snorts] also held their cowboy corral where they showcased clubs and programs, held performances and activities to highlight student involvement opportunities on campus. At Don Lugo, they are currently in the process of recruiting for next year's leadership programs. Recently, they held a bring your own mug event for hot chocolate during the cold weather. And

right now, they are looking forward to their upcoming Chino SRO's police versus Don Lugo exhibition softball game next week. At Chino Hills, we hosted uh the annual student government day on our campus for part participants and officials. Additionally, we held our ultimate frisbee competition where we saw a strong turnout in student participation. We recently showcased our indoor percussion preview show and we

are currently preparing for our Huskys Got Talent show and future Husky night to welcome incoming freshmen and introduce them to their programsmies clubs sports and leadership opportunities on campus. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you so much Phoenix. And now we're on to our comments from our employee representatives. Um we have Stephen Frasier from ACT. >> Hey, good evening. I want to start by

expressing our appreciation to the board and cabinet for the decision to restore the assistant principles at all sites. Our educators see the difference this decision makes every single day for students, for families, and for the adults who support them. Strong site leadership matters, and we're grateful the district recognized this need and acted on it. We also want to acknowledge

that this year, again, our educators were not faced with reductions in force. This kind of stability allows our members to focus on what they do best, teaching and supporting our students. We appreciate cabinet's focus and commitment to keeping our educators in our classrooms. I'd like to invite our community's families to ACT's parent night or an involvement night, which

will be on March 18th from 5 to 7:00 at the ACT office. Dinner will be provided, kids are welcome, activities will be there, and um we want to hear directly from parents about your priorities. See, ACT believes that when we hear your concerns, the ideas that make our school the best, this is when we can thrive. See, um our

educators, we don't just work for the community, we're a part of it. And we believe the best decisions are made when parents and educators are at the table together. So, we hope to see you there. And finally, I want to personally thank board member Sean Smith for his responsiveness to our association and for meeting with us regularly. That kind

of open communication helps build trust and works uh allows us to work collaboratively as issues come up. So, thank you and thank you for your support. Have a good evening. >> Thank you. And I don't think we have Danny from CSCA. Do we have another member in his place? No. Okay. Okay. Annette Hatch from Champ. Do we have

her? No. Okay. We're now on to comments from the public on items not on the agenda within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board and items on the agenda. >> Patricia >> 10. >> 10.

lastly, speakers may not approach the dis any time the board is in session. Please give any materials you wish distributed to the board to the recording secretary >> Jennifer Oamura on a non-aggenda item peace. I'm here regarding my daughter a 4.0 O senior in this district. She's been on the IEP since first grade which began in Brea and she's been enrolled

here since 2018. She has no disciplinary history, no prior conflicts with teachers, and she graduates in three months. She has been involved in horiculture and FFA for four years, earned her Greenhan Award, participated in leadership in Sacramento, completed RO certifications for college credit, and completed volunteer service each year since her freshman year. Recently, she was homesick for one week. During

that time, she logged into Aries and emailed her teachers to continue her assignments that doc that documentation exists. Despite the communication, a classroom teacher created a shrine in the classroom, put it up on the board, made flowers, and transposed my daughter's face of her sophomore picture onto the board. And with the photograph was altered with tea lightss and students writings saying

that we will miss you with a dead body outline showing a image of a another person with a neck brace. Basically, it was done as a joke and that shrine with the tea lightss was left up in the classroom for two days. I was never notified. My daughter actually contacted each teacher and she has no problems with her teachers. Imagine the horror of

me being out of town and finding out a Saturday night from another student who actually took a picture. This is all well documented, including the other child that was involved in it with a teacher saying that it was a joke. It's not a joke. It's not a joke to have your child up there. No one contacted me to verify

her safety. No one checked the documented communication showing she was simply sick. No immediate protective uh plan was put into place. As a result, my daughter was missed an additional week of school due to the emotional impact. Her schedule was changed and her attempts were made to alter her classes and disrupting her academic stability, despite her having done nothing wrong.

During the investigation, despite my request for no contact, and let me back up, I did walk into the school thinking I would be the one telling them, but they already knew about it. Everybody in the school knew about it on that Friday. I didn't come in find out until Saturday night at 9:00 p.m. I went to the I'm

going to be careful here. During the investigation, despite my request for a no contact order, she encountered the teacher on campus and froze in our car. She was unable to get out of my car to drop her off. Said teacher made looks at us in our way. She froze and she put her hand on my leg and said that was her. There's

been no written safety plan, no formal update from the district leadership, no outreach from IEP department, and no therapy services implemented. I believe in the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. As a mother, I am deeply saddened by what has occurred and how it has been handled. I have been a mom fighting with my single mom with two

special needs kids. I don't have one, I have two. And without the teachers, I do believe that >> um the time's up, but I'm going to ask staff to follow up with you. >> Camden Miller on a non-aggenda item. Good evening, Miss Shaw and fellow board members. As you heard, I'm Camden Miller and I'm currently a junior at Don Lugo

High School. This is my third year as a varsity swimmer and my second year as a varsity waterpro player. I'm speaking to you tonight regarding the pool situation at Don Lugo. Usually at this time of night, I would be at practice, but I am missing to speak to you about the importance of opening Luggo's pool. [clears throat] As you may know, our

pool has been under renovation since last May. The concern tonight is that it is still not open. The aquatics teams were told it would be completed in November, then [snorts] December, then January, then beginning of February, then midFebruary, and now we're moving on to late February. And the pool is still not open. We keep being told real

soon. I am here tonight to look for the answer. When will our pool be ready? Over the past school year, the Don Luga Aquatics teams have had to find open space and time at the other school sites in the district. The other high school's programs have been very gracious of us, but we want to be able to return home to our campus and

use our pool. It has been a challenge for each of our teams. We are very eager to have the upgrades and equipment that have been seen at the other schools for years now. Thank you for listening to me tonight. Please help again open. And now I head off to join my swim practice. >> Thank you. Samuel Love on a non-aggenda

item. This past summer, I had the privilege of experiencing a live production of the classic award-winning play A Raisin in the Sun at the Seventh Street Theater in Chino. Thank you, Tony Lynn, Chino Community Theater Director, for your courage and foresight. For those who are unfamiliar with this classic, it's a story written by Lorraine Hanssbury about a struggling black family in the

1950s on Chicago's South Side. What brought my theater experience to mind is twofold. First, the board's ongoing entitlementdriven ideology, self-righteous, and misguided actions to deprive Chino Valley students the opportunity to learn the true history of this country. And yes, some of it will be uncomfortable. Growth is an uncomfortable process. Secondly, I witnessed the multicultural and generational audience being entertained

and engaged in the storyline and performances. At the end of the performance, there was a rousing standing ovation from this diverse audience. I couldn't help but reflect on how the true history of America's race relations, which have been censored by the board's past and current coercive actions, distort the educational truth while perpetuating white brainwash education. The following is an excerpt from the

district's grade 11 history instructional guide. Quote, "These standards require students not only to acquire core knowledge in history and social science, but also develop the critical thinking skills that historians and social scientists employ to study the past and its relationship to the present." End quote. The board has aggressively pushed back on the inclusion of the state approved

curriculum for critical race theory by ironically, excuse me, but ironically includes and encourages the development of critical thinking skills as a goal in the history curriculum. That sounds more than a little hypocritical. If the children are in fact our future, then why impede their growth as thoughtful adults? The ignorance you cultivate will, excuse me, will inhibit their development into constructive

members of society. Yes. By depriving our children of the factual knowledge of how this country became what we are, you ensure history will repeat itself and will remain selfish, intolerant, and socially culturally ignorant. Please do the right thing. >> Thank you, Amanda Swagger. >> Good evening, President Shaw, Dr. Enfield cabinet board and everyone here in attendance tonight. I want to first talk about the

events that occurred where over 300 students approximately 300 students from our high school walk off campus to protest the events going on with immigration custom and enforcement. I can't support students walking off campus. Students breaking dress code with things like explorative ICE and other hateful symbols were there. But I was glad the student did have a voice.

The important thing to note is that our security staff and our partners at Chino PD did an amazing job taking care of those students. Things can go wrong when students walk off campus. There's cars and there's other things that can happen. And our security teams part of CSEA did an amazing job taking care of those students while they exercise those

privileges. While again I don't support those actions as they're disruptive to the learning environment, the our security team did a tremendous job handling that rough situation. Second, I want to speak of two other people who have moved on from our campus to bigger and better or different things. First, Miss Mara Ryan, a special education teacher in our department in

the science department, has moved on to become an assistant principal at Don Lugo. While our friendly rivalry with Don Lugo will stand, I it's amazing for her to take the leadership role in going to that position and she will be surely missed on our campus as a leader in the special education department. I also want to speak to Gloria Rodriguez, an

amazing secretary that was one of the lifebloods of our front office, a personal friend. Gloria is going on to become part of the human resources staff here at the district. And while I'm not a fan of going to human resources, I will be with her in the office. Second, I want to go ahead and tonight quickly talk about a big hole in our

district with A throughG. We are running into a problem where there are so many students who do not belong in chemistry in their 10th grade year. I've had more problems since CO than you can imagine, including students who have failed biology but being placed automatically in chemistry. students with major behavioral issues causing disruptions in my class, etc. We need a placeholder for

those students in their 10th grade year so they can mature, grow, and pass biology. That is Earth Science. While many people won't come up to this microphone and say, "We need Earth Science." It's an A throughG accredited course. It may not meet the graduation requirements, but it's something that needs to come back. I can't have students disrupting my class who have no

business being in science in my class their 10th grade year. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you, >> Lori Cherelli. >> As we have seen in previous years, the district is capable of honoring culture and ancestry of minority people groups either through performances in this room or lesson plans and activities on the school sites and in the classroom.

However, since that doesn't include Black History Month, it would be my pleasure to do so right now. Officer Mason, thank you for being one of the only, if not the only police officer I can trust implicitly and completely. Your strength of character and courage of your convictions has not gone unnoticed. And if you're a parent and have the honor to have him on your

school site as an SRO or interact with him in the community, just know that you are safer for him being there. To Mr. Mr. Dawn in the back of this room and Mr. Wy standing to my right. Thank you for treating everyone in this room with the same dignity and respect. Whether you agree with them what they say or

not, given what you hear in this room week after week, I just wanted to honor you for that because I know it's not easy. To Miss Brenda Walker, you went through hell while you were here, but still went to war for your teachers and their students. Regardless of whether they thank you or not, I want to know

that. I want you to know that I do. To Mr. Leonard that never got the board send off that you deserve, just know that Dalonga alumni like myself and my siblings consider it an honor that you were there when we were. To Mrs. Plameumber, shout out class of 2002, thank you for taking the racebased terror I went through seriously and for

doing so for way more than just your black students. To the black parents, as much as I want to say to you, I will just say this. All four high schools now have active black student unions. If you are on a campus where you feel unrepresented, tap into them. If your student is in a K12 K through8 school

and you don't have one, ask those sites if they can direct you to any resources that you can share with your young person. And to the black students in this district, I will just say this. Always remember that no matter what anyone tells you, to be black is an honor. because as you've seen tonight, you indeed stand on the shoulders of

greatness. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Kiara. Tell Good evening, president, members of the board, superintendent, and staff. My name is Kiara T, and I'm a student council board member at Roads Elementary. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today. I am here to respectfully request that the district consider adjusting the transportation eligibility policy so that students in

grades kindergarten through sixth grade qualify for bus transport transportation if they live 1.5 miles or more from school, which is the same eligibility distance currently applied to kindergarten students. Right now, the district's policy states that kindergarten students qualify for transportation at 1.5 miles, but students in later grades must live even farther away to be eligible for a bus.

According to the Chino Valley Unified School District transportation information, these mileage distances increase for older grades, which can make it difficult for many students and families to access safe and reliable transportation. I believe that changing this policy to 1.5 miles for all elementary grades, kindergarten through sixth grade, would help ensure that students can attend school regularly and

safely. Research shows that regular school attendance is essential for academic success, especially in the elementary years when students are developing reading, math, and social skills. When students miss school, they miss important classroom instructions and opportunities to build confidence and friendships. The district's chronic aptism rate was reported to be 12.5% for the 2024 to 2025 school year. Many of these absences

are unexcused and may be related to transportation challenges. Improving access to transportation would help students be at school on time, ready to learn, and better prepared for future success. Providing fair and equal transportation supports the district's goals of academic growth, student well-being, and family engagement. If students can depend on a safe transportation, family feels families feel more confident

sending them to school, which in turn supports attendance, achievement, and stronger sense of belonging within the school community. In closing, I asked the board to consider equalizing transportation eligibility for all elementary grade levels at 1.5 miles to help reduce barriers in attendance and support student success. Thank you for listening and for everything you do for our schools and students. Have a good

evening. Thank you so much. Very good job. Fix that. Right. Good evening, members of the board, superintendent, cabinet. My name is Sarah Palmer and I am here to speak about a framework that has become a staple in our district. Positive behavioral interventions and supports, also known as PBIS. While the intent to create positive school climate is noble,

we must look honestly at the unintended consequences. In practice, we are seeing a system that often prioritizes compliance through bribery over genuine character development and safety. At its core, PBIS relies heavily on extr on extrinsic mo motivators, tickets, tokens, and points. We are teaching children that being a decent human being or following basic rules is a transaction.

When we reward a student with a candy bar for simply not yelling in class, we undermine the students who follow the rules every day because they have integrity. We are failing to build intrinsic motivation creating a generation of students who ask what do I get for this before they agree to meet basic expectations. Perhaps more concerning is the shift

away from meaningful consequences. In the pursuit of positive data, we have inadvertently created an environment where there is a lack of accountability for serious disruptions. When intervention replaces discipline entirely, the message to the student body is clear. The rules are optional. We see this when a student who verbally abuses a teacher is given a sensory break and return to class 10 minutes

later. We see it when physical altercations are met with restorative circles before a victim even feels safe, forcing a reconciliation that isn't earned. This leaves the aggressor feeling empowered and the victim feeling unprotected. Meanwhile, the students who are there to learn lose hours of instructional time because the system is designed to appease the disruptor rather than protect the classroom. Our teachers are

exhausted. They are asked to be data collectors and social worker workers. All while their ability to hand out firm consequences has been stripped away. Furthermore, our middle of the road and high achieving students feel invisible. They see that the most disruptive behavior earns the most attention and the most prizes. Positive reinforcement has its place, but it cannot be the only

tool in the shed. A school needs a backbone of clear, firm discipline to function. We need to return to a model that balances support with realworld consequences. Our students deserve Ask any teacher in this district and you'll hear that they don't have nearly enough resources to support learning in their classrooms. They lack basics like paper, markers, even tissues during flu

season. They've been told not to ask parents for contributions, so they routinely spend their own money for these basics. That alone is unacceptable. But it becomes that much more outrageous when you see how this board mismanages our district's limited funds. Exhibit A. This board recently voted to more than double their own personal compensation from 996 to $2,000

per month. Anyone else here tonight get a 107% increase in their pay lately? And they did this after cutting the number of schoolboard meetings in half. So twice the amount of money for half the work. Sounds like a sweet deal. And we're not even counting the free health care, life insurance, and retirement benefits you get. Easily worth another

$1,500 a month. Superintendent Enfield mentioned that this raise was prompted by new state law, but that didn't mean you had to accept it. Plus, it's in Dr. Enfield's interest to cozy up to this board since he needs to protect his own more than half a million dollar a year contract. Anyone on this board ever hear the term public service? A seat on the

school board isn't supposed to be a money-making venture. It's supposed to be about serving the students of this district by improving the quality of public education. But the only things this board is focused on are politics and culture wars that discriminate and divide our community. We have yet to actually see you prioritize education. In fact, it's embarrassing to watch the

level of incompetence that's on display during these meetings. I'd like to propose that given your significant pay raise that you cap donations for your next political campaigns so that one right-wing contractor from Ontario who gets multi-million dollar contracts from this board can't fund your entire campaigns as he's been doing for the last couple of election cycles. Funny

that every time I bring this up, you have nothing to say. Speaking of fiscal irresponsibility, it should also be noted that this board continues to rack up exorbitant legal fees, already outpacing last year's $1.4 million, far more than other districts our size. The latest is the $14,000 the district now owes in legal fees due to its decision to challenge a judge's

order from a decade ago that prohibited the board from turning these meetings into prayer sessions. And that's on top of the $300,000 the district was ordered to pay the first time the case was thrown out. You keep insisting that you have proono legal teams handling these cases. But you never mentioned that US taxpayers are on the hook when you lose,

and you usually do. I hope voters remember this in November when we have a chance to replace two of these seats with community members who prioritize public educ because black history is American history and I want to say that this community needs to do better. There was a post made by the city of Chino Hills in honor of Black History Month and

instead of saying something positive or not saying anything at all, there were some very racist and hateful comments on there. Shame on those people. How can we expect our students to not be racist when their own parents are racist? The same people who cried about a separate halftime show are the same people who would have demanded separate drinking

fountains. It is not that hard to be welcoming of different backgrounds, cultures, and religions. For example, Tuesday was Lunar New Year and Ramadan just began for our Muslim community and Lent just began for our Catholic community. It is important to be aware because of the implications to our students such as fasting and because representation is so important, it is

very powerful to show our students that they are appreciated and respected. Unfortunately, this board does not care about this community. They care about their own personal interests, especially Sonia. You voted for a pedophile president, linked arms with a pedophile SRO, and have remained quiet through it all because Sonia, you're a pedophile protector. You banned books to protect

kids, but ignore the real issue, which is cell phones, internet, AI, and meta glasses. The district really needs to step up and address these issues. In the summer, state law will go into effect over cell phone policies, but the district seems to be ignoring this issue. Recording devices on glasses in a school environment is very dangerous. Students could be recording one another

in locker rooms and or bathrooms. Isn't that something you're obsessed with, yet ignore this particular issue? You attack trans people and drag queens while promoting criminals, proud boys, and pedophiles. You even let the proud boys and criminals have a banner during a board meeting that call teachers groomers. But can you have them actually go and take that banner to the White

House where the real groomers are? You silence the voices of parents by refusing to provide translation services in Spanish and Mandarin, which are so commonly used by our parents. Instead of having two security guards up here, no offense, I love you guys. But you're not needed because Sonia fabricated threats to herself like Regina George did in Mean Girls. You could probably use that

money towards translators. You're all about parental rights but ignore parents who do not speak English. You speak highly of ICE while they are kidnapping and murdering people and sewing fear in our communities. The students showed how they feel through their walkouts and they do not agree with you. You don't represent or care about this community. You said on camera that it is not the

school's job to feed kids. It shouldn't be, but a lot of times it is. And as a Jesus follower, taxpayer, and non-hypocrite, I have no problem with kids being fed, unlike you, who would prefer for them to go hung. >> Caitlyn Martinez, Sha, I'd just like to say you represent me. I love you guys. I want to thank

you, but this is actually too infield and hack. Need your eyes on me for a second. You guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I need your eyes eyes on me. You especially in field. You like to sleep up there and I'm I want you to see me. I represent a lot of families in this district with

special education. I have spoken with you happy. We've had meetings and when I have said why can't we have certain supports? You've responded with quote we can't have the bar too high for false expectations for the future. Last year, we had over a million dollars left over in the sped budget that went back into general education that could have been

used. We have so many families that are going without supports that are needed. I have so many families that I'm representing right now currently that are right there ready to file lawsuit. I'm about to hand over the case to attorneys because it's that bad. I have one one IP meeting from September that we are still waiting on a prior written

notice. I've emailed Chaplook. I've met with her. I've said, "Let's collaborate." I'm getting no response. I have filed state complaints. I'm trying to collaborate, but Chapluck won't. She answers to you, Enfield, and to you. And I need you guys to do your job because these kids are getting neglected. I have kids that need aids with CPI training

because they are literally stabbing their other students with pencils. That is not fair to the other student and that is not fair to that that student. What are we doing? I have other kids that are having bathroom accidents and they're being left in it. Left in it because the pairs are pair of ones, not pair of twos. And they're calling the

mom. Mom's not available and they're leaving them and they're saying, "Well, sorry you chose Jed." I'm sorry. What do you You guys know the laws. You guys know how many laws are broken with that. We have to do better as a district with sped. And I was really hopeful when when Randy Chapl came in, a new fresh face, starting

over. That's not the case here. Our program specialists are awful. There's one that I absolutely love. Unfortunately, I just found out that he's being let go and he's the only one that actually listens. He's the only one. I don't have a kid from any of his feeders that I'm having to represent. That says something. And he's being let

go. Well, the other ones that are filing that are failing with FURPA violations and procedurals and all of these different violations, there's nothing there. There's no ramifications. And again, state complaints are filed. They are in the works right now. I'm trying to get your eyes and ears on this. Dr. Anfield, I've requested a meeting with you. I'm going to publicly announce this

now and ask you again. Not with Hackne. I don't want to hear that the bar is too low and we need to keep it low. I want to talk to you. the one that makes over 400k a year to answer for these sped students that have no voice. This has gone out of hand and we need to do

better. Board members, I need your guys' >> Thank you to our speakers. Also, um we are now at to changes and deletions. Patricia, are there any changes or deletions?

I too appreciate the collaboration and I'll be at the parent night as well.

Thanks. See you there. Um, first off, that young lady that came came up and spoke, wasn't she fantastic? Did you did you that data that she presented? Wow. She might as well just hand that over to Dr. Enfield, right? Just I mean, it was just spoton. So, too bad she left early. Um, but yeah, that was that was

fantastic. Love seeing that. love seeing our our kids that are really um that know how to do some some research and um it'd be great to go check some of those numbers. But uh I was able to uh Danny Hernandez wasn't able to make it tonight. Uh but I was able to do a ride along with one of his um employees,

Anthony Moritzer on uh just early in the morning, 6:00 a.m. was over delivering different uh packages and the the whole The paper thing is kind of there's all these teachers have plenty of paper. I don't know where that came from, but there's an abundance of paper. Uh I delivered some I delivered lots of paper actually to a lot of the schools with

the classified employee. There is roughly around a thousand classified employees. A lot of times we don't think about them. So, I just wanted to bring some recognition to the classified employees that do keep everything going, keep the uh the gears greased here and make sure that they're uh everything's delivered, including paper and other necessities. Um, we were able to attend

a graduation for the AEC. Um, that was fantastic. Um, Dr. Preston Carr, you could tell that he really cares a lot about the kids um in the the AEC and that um you know to see them all graduate and growing up. It's uh you know that's reminder of what we're all here for. Uh we went to uh the science fair that

was fantastic. There was a a few winner uh there. Let's see here. Let's see. So, it was a shame that we didn't get to actually do a lot more judging on uh some of the the science projects that were going on, but just a few just to name a few here. And these are these are all kids that are going on to the county

science fair. It's being uh I guess judged next week and then they're going to be Dr. Park, do you remember the day for the uh for the awards for the science fair? >> It is. It's sometime in March. I can get that date for you after the meeting. Anyway, that would be at the Oh, March 5th at

the Double Tree by the Ontario Airport 5:00 PM. So, go cheer on our students that were participating in the science fair. Big shout out to of course our very own uh Leila Ma uh Mallei um for winning first place um Shino High School BST. One of the things about the science fair and it was pretty interesting is that

particularly in the fourth grade uh when you would read their conclusions we didn't get a lot of time. I wish I had a lot of time to really dig into there was a lot of fascinating things but they would put the um my hypothesis was was wrong and I remember growing up uh learning about the scientific method and

being fascinated by this thing and the thing is when you form this hypothesis you should when you do the experiment you observe you hypothesize you experiment you conclude when you when you form that your hypothesis the goal of the experiment should always be to prove yourself wrong. You should always be seeking to prove yourself wrong. Whatever you believe that way, you know

that you're con but when the result of the experiment is concluded, you know that you were seeking real truth. So, I don't know. I think sometimes we should all go back and visit fourth grade science. Color guard event was fantastic over at Shin Hills High. Um, I just wanted to give some praises out to Chad Hartman. Fantastic color guard coach.

kind of works the girls to a bone and a couple guys out there too. But um yeah, so they it really pays off. It was fantastic. Few few schools participated and they did really well. Was able to attend the uh parks and recreation um for Chino Hills. Fantastic. Almost don't want to talk about it too much because it's getting a

lot of um publicity out there and we're we're being inundated. But on March 10th in the community park, we are having the um softball the the battle for the bone for the the softball between Chini Hills High and Hyella. For those of you that have been softball parents in this community, you know that it's um yeah, it's it's pretty intense. So, I'm sure

that's going to be a fun fun day. Government day again. Phoenix, I heard you were mayor. You mayor? Yeah, it's he's the mayor of Shayen Hills over here. and already did a really good job, too. Also had another cheer event. So, this is my little bubble. I live in the the Chino Hills. It's like Wickman Towns in Chino Hills High. That's where all my

kids went. They're I still got kids in that community. So, I'm always kind of doing some sort of event. Uh so, uh Coach Sydney and Coach Brook, good job out there. Um, we had a a WASK event over at Ayella, um, Western Association of School Colleges, and we got like a premier rating. We're still waiting for the the

results of that. Um, and then Dicki, Principal Patricia, uh, Custodio, uh, is getting a national demonstration school. So, only a few schools in the entire nation are being recognized for that. So, um, something to be proud of in our community. Um, and then finally, I kind of wanted to close with I I went to the fire Andy went to the fire

department event and, uh, got to see and it seems like every time at the fire department board meeting, they just have these tremendous families and all these these kids with all these firefighters. They're these firefighters, they have a lot of kids. It seems like there's a minimum of three requirement to be a firefighter. Um, but they're all good

kids. And I was thinking that uh how grateful I am to be in this community, to be in this district. And it it it starts that's where it starts. It starts with the parents and at that level that's the foundation. And a lot of times, you know, we're we're think about um the administration, the teachers, all this, but you know, we it starts at home

and we live in our blessed little bubble in this district despite some of the hyperbolic comments that are made. Um this is a fantastic district and I'm I'm very grateful to be a part of it and I'm very grateful um to the parents that raise such fantastic kids that u make it easier for us. So, thank you.

>> Press it again. >> There you go. >> Okay. >> You have to just press it and leave it >> and I'll ceue it in. There you go. >> Okay, good. Yeah, I have a short report tonight. Um, uh, it was great to attend, um, a science fair, district science fair, where, um, um, it was named after Mrs. Buzz, who's

been our longtime science teacher. Um and uh Mr. of us. her husband has put in many years of hard work um teaching our science to our students and with their small classroom. It has grown to be a district fair and I really appreciate their hard work and I was able to um and honor to meet with Mr. Buzz after his

retirement and he was still there and helping us out there. I saw future Ilam Mosque and future heroes of our country. Um kudos for Chino Hills Chino High School BTA's program that who won the champion trophy and I was able to talk to the winner and she said her dream is to become an IT engineer and and start a a company

that change our lives and this where it began from Mrs. Bos's classroom. So, thank you. There was a student from Buenav Vista High School and he had a question to us and a comment that he actually came to student government day to learn to figure out how we can get along with each other. That was a simple question, but it

really touched me because when we look at the news, either you turn on TV or you turn on your iPhone, it's all about conflicts and division and fighting. Then I remember there was a teacher from Chino Hills High School, Mr. Browning, who said this life is about being good to yourself and being good to others. It was a very simple message to all of

us before his passing but it just came back to my mind. There is an answer. We need to be good to us ourselves but also good to others. But in today's time, doing something that is right takes bravery. We need to be brave to do the right things. And I'd like to thank our teachers who are doing it in their

classrooms. And I'd like to thank our parents doing it at their home. And I'd like to thank our staffs doing that in our school sites and and district buildings. It takes bravery to do the right thing. And I told the kids, our school board members are just five crazy parents who are crazy about you guys. Because you guys are children, our

babies. As Mrs. Yar boy from Ayala High School call her students my babies. We would call you guys our babies. Thank you. This is my report for tonight. >> Mike. You are an asset to our community. Always defending. >> Why can't we hear you? >> Oh, testing. Okay. So, President Sonia and Dr. Enfield, I am requesting for Mrs. Martinez to have an appointment

with our beloved Superintendent Enfield and follow upon the special education discussion to to discuss the matter. M. Martinez is always she's always consistent what she says and I want to hear further what what what she wants and um I also attended um science fair and our 46th annual student government day and you know when it comes to ALCAP

it ties into college career readiness and student engagement. So, um, all our activities revolve around ALCAP and those are fantastic events. Finally, I'd like to say I would like to take a moment to address the recent student walkouts regarding immigration enforcement. While I recognize the deep convictions and the desire for social engagement that some of our students possessed, I find myself

concerned by the choice to leave the classroom to express these views. To me, education is the most powerful tool an individual can possess. It is the very foundation upon which effective advocacy and leadership are built. When we prioritize activism over education, we risk of devaluing the very resource that empowers students to make a lasting impact on the world. There are many ways

to make one's voice heard before school or after school or weekends that do not require sacrificing one's education. I believe that we truly value education. We must protect the sanity of the school day. I encourage our students to bring that same passion for justice into their studies, ensuring that they have the knowledge and the credentials to lead

these conversations in the future. Let's remember that the best way to change the world is to first be presented and be prepared within the classroom. And I was I was there was another thing I was going to say. I wasn't going to say, but I have to say that one person bashing our president. You know, I I viewed some of those

Epstein files and let me tell you, the majority of these people are Democrats that are listed in there. I just share that with you. Thank you. Try it again. There you go. >> All right. Hello everybody. Uh again, thank you so much for uh for being here. Always appreciate your comments regardless of whether I agree with all

of them. It doesn't matter because we want to make sure everybody's heard and we hear you and uh I appreciate them. Uh Miss Martinez, yeah, you have always been consistent. That is true. So, you definitely have a lot on your plate. I would never try to pretend to imagine what you're going through because I can't. But um we'll make sure that those

things are addressed. So thank you for being here and and stating that a lot of times you speak for so many people. A lot of times people won't come up and say this. So you spoke for a lot of people and we want to make sure that those things are taken care of. So thank you. Um a lot of things we participated

since the last meeting. I don't want to repeat so much. I'll try to maybe a couple of them I will because of importance but um I'll try to skip through some of my comments but I do want to cover the alternative education graduation we're able to attend that as was mentioned already here but uh one of the blessings with that program is this

you got to understand that the high school program is not for everybody it's just it's not a fit always kids can't thrive in that environment all the time but the alternative education program allows that group of students to excel Well, we see the pride. They do such a good job displaying, you know, with the slideshow presentation showing their

kids growing up, their families, their accomplishments, and it shows that they accomplished something and their families get to celebrate with them that may not have been able to take place at a big high school. So, it's always great to be part of that. So, appreciate everybody that uh puts in the fine work. I want to go ahead and talk about Levi

Dicki. Their elementary school is doing outstanding work. They are really trying to get their kids prepared not only for junior high school but high school and beyond. Their AVID program is exceptional. I was able to a few of us were going to participate in what's called the Amazing Shake. And what they did with that program was they took a

group of sixth grade students. It started out with about 65 67 kids on a Monday and they went through a series of interviews and different scenarios. learn how to shake hands, make eye contact, talk to you because it doesn't matter. You could be a straight A student, but if you can't conduct a job interview, it's going to be very

difficult to get hired. So, really appreciate that they're doing those things. Dr. Custodia does an outstanding job. So then on that Saturday, the 31st of January, it kind of dwindled down to about 30 students. And now we're able to select the top five that are going to be competing uh this month at the end of the month on the 28th in the in the

county competition. So these kids did very well. And these are sixth graders, mind you. So uh it was outstanding again. And then the following week, we participate in the um in their AVID showcase. They always do a good job. again, they're going to be nominated for an upcoming award and so they just do a great job. So, I think that always needs

to be recognized and I challenge all our schools to take advantage of learning about what AVID does, how it prepares you to be organized, especially at the elementary schools and junior high so you can be organized and be successful when you're starting to go to different classes. So, Dr. Custodio, shout out your school, your team outstanding. And then um student government day never

disappoints. You know, our our leader up here, Phoenix, well done. Always uh represents us, his school, his family very well. The students did a good job when we went and we met up at Chino Hills High after the event. We were talking together about, you know, these kids and Dr. Infield mentioned one. I would hire that guy. I mean like because

they're already doing such impressive communicating at this age. They're ready for that next level. They're already talking about joining the military, going to college, getting involved in the workforce. Those things are huge. So again, really appreciate that and um it can't be stated uh enough. So thank you guys for being here tonight. >> Thank you, Mr. Cervantes and Dr.

Enfield. >> No comment. >> Thank you Dr. Enfield. And I'll try to make it quick. Um, Cervantes, I loved how you talked about the the alt ed program that is, you know, amongst one of the the great things um that our school offers because there isn't a one-sizefits all. So, just to see our kids have the our students have the

opportunities for those um things are just pretty cool and amazing and I love hearing their stories when they come up and share them with us. It it definitely reminds us why we do what we do. Um, I want to say something in regards to the union and the negotiations. I truly appreciate the hard work and professionalism shown on both sides

during negotiations. This reflects good faith and a commitment to move forward productively. Um I think you know after the past few years our our district has been able to successfully meet with um ACT and just get it done and and see what is it that the teachers need, what is it that we, you know, are asking and

then come to the table and not play games and let's move forward to put our kids in the best direction. And so I do want to acknowledge the staff's hard work and also our teachers and the union's hard work at working together at the table. To say that we got it done in one negotiation session, I think we

should all celebrate. That is amazing. That is beautiful. That does not happen in California, by the way. You see teachers striking and kids losing out on education opportunities. So it truly shows um the willingness. And I do want to just say I thank the board members for being aligned on, you know, making sure our district is able to provide and

we have the direction to provide what the teachers are asking for and giving staff the direction and the staff does an amazing job going in there and and getting the job done so we can all just literally work together and get our kids to move in the right direction. So, I do want to acknowledge that. I do um want

to acknowledge the comments made. Um, you know, I asked that if Miss Martinez can just send um a detailed list of some of these claims so that way we can ask staff to look into it just so we can address them if it hasn't been addressed already. Um, I also appreciate our student from roads. I I love the

detailed um she mentioned the mile and a half and it stood stood in my head and we actually had student government day this week and that was one of the mock um things was pro taking away buses. um you know students had to say why and how and how much money is involved and this and that and how if it's worth it. So I

do appreciate her input. Um I think it's very amazing when students come up and they ask, you know, and they advocate um for things that they see a need in. Um and also I want to say something. I'm just going to say this. When I when my daughters say, "Mom, we love you. You're amazing. Don't listen to the

haters." They say, "Tell them, I don't even cur anymore because I don't. I'm gonna keep working hard. Um, I'm going to keep fighting the good fight. The vile claims are just vile accusations and it says more about them. I kind of feel sad as a board member and a parent here when they claim to be a teacher.

Put that energy, put it in the classroom, make sure your students are moving in the right way. And if that's the behavior you want your students to see, then by all means, let parents see what we've been fighting against. So, with that said, keep fighting the good fight, and I don't even car anymore. And we're going to end this meeting at 7:13

p.m.
