We will now take a brief recess to allow parents and families to take pictures and depart. You're going to get me queued up or what? I now reconvene the regular board of ed

education meeting. We will now hear a staff report from Deputy Superintendent Dr. Grace Park on the annual update regarding the teaching and learning task force. Dr. Park, >> President Shaw, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield, cabinet, and community. We have our annual update to the board of education on the work of the teaching and learning task force.

The teaching and learning task force is a broad representation of teachers, ACT representatives, administrators, and our superintendent who work together to develop a common vision and direction for the instructional focus for our students. The purpose of the task force is to establish a systemwide implementation of teaching and learning of priorities across the district through the areas of

emphasis. The areas of emphasis, also known as our AOE's, allow us to have coherence across the school district through shared expectation of these priorities. And by focusing on a few together, we can provide strategic support to our staff through a coherent professional development plan. The task force first met on October 10th to review student achievement data on

the state's Smarter Balanced Assessments and on our local essential standards assessment. Additionally, for the first time on October 24th, the task force participated in collaborative learning rounds to observe best practices for teaching and learning in our classrooms. Using the information from the collaborative learning rounds and student achievement data, the task force confirmed that our continued focus on a

smaller number of areas of emphasis over time has benefited staff and improved student learning to ensure a two-way communication stream. A message about the task force's work that day along with a feedback survey was created to gather staff's efficacy in implementing state standards and the supports needed to deepen the implementation of our areas of emphasis. Then from December 1st through the 12th,

a feedback survey was administered to all certificated staff. When we reconvened in February, we analyzed those results and used staff input to identify professional development implications to best support our schools. A critical part of that day was examining research on high-erforming PLC systems. And what became clear in Chino Valley was we are doing the right work and we are doing it well. At the at the

conclusion of our day, we drafted a message to staff that celebrates our progress and reinforces our next steps focused on strengthening clarity, consistency, and impact across all teams and our schools. The areas of emphasis that we will continue through the 2627 school year will include essential standards which are our guaranteed and viable curriculum, student engagement through collaborative conversation

and a PLC at work model, a framework for guiding collaboration around student learning. In the next part of our update, I would like to review the teaching and learning task force results, which will inform our planning and our cycle for continued improvement. On the teaching and learning task force feedback survey, we had 861 participants, which was made up of 770

teachers and 91 administrators with more participation on the survey than last year. There are two components of the teaching and learning task force survey. The first part of the survey asks teachers to self-report their efficacy in teaching the state standards which is tied to state priority 2 on our LCAP. The second part of the seat survey gathered feedback on how much support

teachers and administrators felt were needed to continue the implementation of our areas of emphasis and their preferred method for receiving that support through professional development. Using the data in part from the task force survey along with implementation data gathered from our collaborative learning rounds and the site walkthroughs, I'm happy to report that for the 2526 school year, the district

has met the standard for implementing the state academic standards across all content areas. The second part of the task force survey is extremely important because it informs us with the level of support that our staff identified they need to implement our priorities for teaching and learning through PD and the preferred methods for receiving professional learning. From a scale of

four indicating a high level of support to a score of one which is a low level of support. We see that all groups identified a moderate level of support which demonstrates that staff have benefited on staying the course with the same areas of emphasis for teaching and learning across our years. When we take a look at the preferred method for

professional development, all groups value the opportunity to see practices modeled or participate in co-plan or co-e with a colleague. structured PLC release time which is structured collaboration with their colleagues using a PLC at work model and additional training. Now where do we go from here? Based on the input we gathered from the task force and the survey we have a clear

path moving forward. First, we will continue on with the same areas of emphasis supported by aligned PD with a stronger emphasis on advancing instructional rigor. At the same time, schools will also be reviewing their sightspecific feedback to plan customized professional development to meet the needs of their teachers. As we do this, we will continue to evaluate our professional learning, identify

instructional needs, and most importantly monitor its impact on student learning. And finally, there's an important shift for our teaching and learning task force. The focus moving forward will be to elevate PLC work districtwide by researching and sharing key practices that bring greater alignment and impact across our system. That's how we will move from good to great by doing the right work the right

way across all teams. So now let's take a look at what our work across Chino Valley has become a model for other school districts in California and across the nation in leading PLC's districtwide. At Chino Valley Unified School District, a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement drives our focus on learning. Together, we refine practice, pursue excellence, and ensure

meaningful results for every student. Chino Valley Unified is ranked among the top school districts in California. There's a compelling story to tell here. >> The thing that I'm most proud of is just the amount of work that we've accomplished as a district. Again, the PLC process is it it's it's just building upon itself one year after the

other. But it's also learning by doing for us that's leading it because everything that we do isn't perfect. We do make mistakes through that process. We're in we're I think year eight and as you look at the work every year we're getting better and better because we're committed to the the work that we do. And I think that's the part that I'm

most proud of in this process is seeing that change being implemented throughout the the system. And that's from our teachers in the classroom with the process that they're using. That's with our administrators. That's with our coaches. And that's even with us at the district office. the work that we're doing. >> Chino Valley outperforms prepandemic levels, leading recovery in both

California and the nation in math and reading. Staying student centered, uh being data driven, we want to have positive intent. We really want to be focused on actionable steps and things that we can fix and change for next year. Um we all agree to input our data um at least one day in advance to kind of streamline our

discussion. In our district, we have the yellow sheet which is a road mapap for the PLC process outlining explicit expectations for the collaborative team actions. Starting with identifying norms as a team, identifying smart goals for the unit around those essential standards, creating CFAs, common formative assessments around those essentials, and then outlining how teacher teams can create interventions and extensions from

the results of the CFA. I'm going to read our smart goal. So, if you want to open that up, it's on the taco form. It's also on our agenda. Um, but remember it's our two-part uh smart poll. So, by the end of this unit, 75% of students will be proficient or advanced and can accurately determine and analyze the development of a central

idea in a grade levelformational text as measured by the RI2 aligned CFAs in CSA. The remaining 25% of students will correctly identify the topic and at least one supporting detail of the text, demonstrating foundational progress toward determining a central idea. By the end of the unit, 70% of students will be able to conjugate regular ar present tense verbs according to the

subject and 30% or everyone else will be able to conjugate regular ar verbs when provided with options to express who is doing an action. Okay, so our goal for today is we're going to revisit the CSA results. So if you want to scroll down to that data for the CSA which was our timed right. Um and then we're going to

recap our findings so far and then take some time to look at some student work. So I think we all brought student work. Thank you for bringing that. We'll look um in a little bit at the different you know developing minimal um and then are proficient examples. >> But we're always there to say what can we do collaboratively to help to to to

attain the goal. And our goal is always to make sure that we are including all students in that goal. I'm really excited to share um in my courses all students were able to meet the proficiency standard. Um uh 121 out of 130 um were in the exceeding proficiency. Uh um one a few things that I wanted to point out uh where students

performed really well were the multiple choice um and also the the free response questions. Take a look at the multiple choice. Uh for example uh number one where it says do blank bare and as fiestas. Uh students were able to accurately and effectively choose the correct ar verb uh conjugation uh by identifying the the endings and the

pronouns. Um so for example the answer on this one would have been fiestas. So students uh demonstrated the ability to match pronouns uh to the correct uh form of an air any verb and also to write um sentences simple sentences using the correct form of the air verbs. >> They clearly could determine it in the multi multiple choice format where the

kind of analytical gap is coming in is now that they had to do it on their own. they had to present it in a written form and there seems to be a gap between those knowledge based >> and a CFA just to again make sure we're all on the same page the CFAs were multiple >> choice and then our CSA is

>> a written exam >> so I think that does you know >> it doesn't question what what does that look like for next year are they aligning clearly >> and again maybe we want to write some of this down that those CFAs they were so successful in but as soon as when yeah We're trying to have them transfer that

skill. There's a gap. >> In 2025, Chino Valley was recognized on the California Honor Role for high academic achievement and success in improving outcomes for historically underserved students. It's evident that PLC is working in our district due to our student outcomes. Year after year, we see steady incremental gains for our students both on local assessments as well as state assessments. And it's not

that not just that we're seeing improvement in student achievement, but also that we're closing achievement gaps for our underperforming students. The biggest challenge that people will have with the process is the implementation. There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into the PLC process and I don't think people realize the amount of work. I think a lot of

times they want to just bring somebody in, do a training, and then that will that that's going to suffice everything for there. But there's a lot of systems work that's required of everybody within the system. And so the the leadership of the district has to be looking at all the different work that goes on and how can we support everybody through that

process. So it's really that strategic thinking and that strategic implementation and it's and it's over long periods of time >> critical component in our PLC improvement journey is to focus and develop those multiple layers of leadership after the teacher. We know that the research points to school site leadership as the second most important part in improving student achievement

and because of that we spend a lot of time developing our principles. What we learn at our principal meetings are so important for me because it helps to clarify my understanding of our PLC process. For instance, we go through unitby-unit smart goals or the CFA process or just supporting any aspect of our collaborative team actions. And so

I'm able to take those back to my leadership team um using the slides and the exact information that was given to all of the principles so that we have a good shared understanding and go through clarify my expectations with the leadership team. They then take that back to their grade level or department and share the same information. Um, and

then I make sure as I'm visiting those PLC's to be looking for those things that we have gone through to be able to provide feedback in those specific areas that I have clarified in our leadership team meetings or just even in casual conversations or our newsletter. Just continuing to reinforce and provide additional support and clarity on all

the topics that we learn at our principal meetings. >> I start off by being at that meeting and I set the expectations for the our essential standards in the PLC process. It's about the PLC process. And so I always start those meetings and then I'm there for the entire meeting and a part of that because I want to send that

message that the PLC work is I'm very serious about it and this is the work that we do as a district. >> But I think my like biggest highlight is for numbers one and five there was no regrouping and they did really well there. >> Okay, good. So that means we're on track for that smart goal. That's awesome.

There's routine things that we do at our principal meeting. The first part includes warm-ups. We take pictures of what we see in our classrooms. And so our principles will take a look at a picture of an essential standard that might that may have been posted on the whiteboard along with accompanying pictures of student work. And so we

spend time looking at the alignment of the rigor of the essential standard that's accompanied to that work and practice giving feedback that we might want to give a teacher. So my students uh 50 out of 61 students uh were proficient or exceeding and so the like you shared the multiple choice section students did well and also when we

provided them with the verb and the subject they were able to conjugate the verb and not only that but also recognize who was doing the action which is part of our standard and our learning target which is great to see that they're doing awesome with those things. Um, so I I think they're they're progressing uh just like we planned. For

our next question, we're going to be focusing on what instructional strategies supported our students success. And so I'm going to get started because I'm really excited. I really like this one. Uh, and so, uh, something that I think is supporting my student success is when, um, we work on creating charts with our students. So having them walk through the process and so I have

big sticky notes and students write the pronouns, write the verbs and then they have to go step by step and then they share it with the group with a small group. And I think that really helped my students understand how conjugations work. And so I think that that was one strategy that was very successful in my class. Another activity that we do

during our principal meeting is we spend time shoring up any gaps there might be in their learning based on observations that we are seeing at leadership team meetings or we are hearing from school teams. One area that we heard frustrations from from our teachers was they were CFAing everything. And so at a principal's time, as an example, we had

to make sure our principles knew you don't have to administer a common assessment for every standard. We only administer a common assessment on something that's hard to teach, hard to learn, and worth the intervention. Chino Hills High School, Chino High School, Townsen Junior High School, and Canyon Hills Junior High School are among the highest performing schools in

the state in academic achievement for all students while ensuring that historically underserved student groups are maintaining or increasing academic progress. These schools are also accelerating academic progress for two or more historically underserved student groups while demonstrating above state median achievement for all students and maintaining or increasing overall academic performance. I was thinking some of my extensions was

going to be like the missing numbers that we have. We have it listed already in our TA. um there are two worksheets that they can do and so it's really just like you know doing the um inverse operation so b + 5 = 628 what does b equal? So they have to um work with that. So then when

they you know the kiddos who are forgetting to put the next number up or are forgetting to go and write the numbers in the top um we're going to use this for an intervention for those kids. And there's also an adding version, too. So, let me get to yours. >> Great. >> Um, and then this one, um, same my kids

that had trouble with subtracting multiple place values. Um, we have one that is on kind of graph paper. And so, they can write the number in the box of the graph paper to help keep them really neat and organized in that and show that you have to keep going across. >> Um, so I think you had said we're going

to do >> you want to do the whole group. So, maybe you want to do I would love >> like the three-digit across for the whole group intervention. >> Veryful. >> Yeah. And then um as you had said the extension it's um showing the relationship between those two adding and subtracting since we've done both of them now.

>> Um so it'll you know if it's a subtracting problem they have to turn it into an addition problem and if it's an addition problem they have to turn it into a subtracting problem. If you look at the overall data, 91% of our students are proficient or exceeding, which is a great result of our first best instructions. Right? for my students um

some of the misconceptions that I observed in their responses were there's the ones that weren't proficient were still making the mistake with um between andes which is you know a concept that's still new to them because in English we don't have that distinction between formal and informal speaking and so that's something that my students are are still trying to sort out and the

word versus is the singular versus the plural. >> Having them find their mistakes, I think, was one of the most powerful retaching things that we did in adding. And that >> that really helped um on our version B CFA >> because most of the kids showed that they were able to like find those mistakes and not great

>> hopefully make them again. >> All right, thanks everybody. Nice job today. That concludes our report to the board on the work of the teaching and learning task force for use your Mike's Mr. Smith first. Hold on. There it is. Thank you, Dr. Park. Appreciate that. Um on the I I know that you mentioned getting from good to great

and obviously on the the the PLC. So that's a professional learning communities, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. That a lot of times when um acronyms are tossed around frequently, we're watching a video, it's PLC, PLC. It's a lot of times the community should know what that means. Do we have anywhere where we spell this process out uh that's available for the public to

look at the the details of this process? >> The PLC process is actually operationalized and detailed on what we call our yellow sheet. And on the yellow sheet, it provides concrete steps of actions that should be occurring when teams meet. >> This is all public data. It's not available on the website for the public. Uh but it is available to

all of our teachers or teams and schools. >> Excellent. Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. Um thank you Dr. Park. You know we've been doing this for the past 14 15 years of this progression you know going throughout these years decades and and looking at number one two and three essential standards strategies and PLC this didn't happen overnight this took

years and years and the objective is that our students will have options to go to college or do other things and and it's been phenomenal. My daughter is in college. Mr. N's kids are in college. We have our ASB president going to Stanford and and all this because our school district being an excellent school district. And on top of that, you

brought up about the PLC being a nationwide model school. So, we're the model school nationwide. I mean, that's remarkable. So our community is very proud of the work that we have accomplished because this this did not happen overnight. This took a lot of time and and at the beginning there was a lot of risk but we succeeded and in the future we're

going to succeed even further. So I'm really really proud. There's one thing I'm I want to ask and that is the feedback. Was was there any difference between teachers and admit when it came to that survey and even also elementary and secondary schools? >> When we first started the survey and we took a look at the results between our

administrators and our teachers, you saw that there were stark differences in what teachers and administrators identified as supports that were needed. But with years of this work together, you will you will see that we are closely aligned with what the teachers and our administrators have identified as supports that are necessary to continue to engage in the improvement

cycle. >> Yeah. Very. Thank you, Dr. Enfield. That's it. Oh, now try it again. Don't touch. Hold on. There you go. No. Nope. Nope. Okay. Hold on. Don't touch. It's on. >> Oh no. Okay. Yeah, I I love this video clip. Uh I think it's like first time our uh district had made a very informative uh video clip like this. Um,

I have been approached by many parents from other school districts uh telling me that they would love to send their children to our school district because we have a great name out there and I want to know if if we're we are able to make such clip like this on a public setting where the public could go on and watch

and and know why uh our students are successful in detail like this. I think um it will be very very informative for other parents that lives in other district because news is always out there already that they want to buy homes in Chino Valley Unified School District area and send their children's in our school district area because

it's known to be not only high achieving school district but provides safe learning environment for them but in detail like this would really give them uh more information of our school district. So thank you Dr. Park. >> Thank you >> and your team. >> Thank you. We have been very fortunate across years of the board support and

your investment in our people. I also have to say that we need to acknowledge ACT for their partnership in collaboration with this work. They first approached Dr. Enfield when he was a deputy superintendent about the need to work together around collaboration so that we can improve student learning. And this journey has been together for across nine years where we flew to Iowa

to build a shared understanding of PLC's. And it was there where we committed to doing this work together. Yes, there are sometimes we don't always agree on all the issues, but the one area that we do have agreement with ACT on is we're going to work together to improve what teachers do because when teachers improve what they do, we can

get more students to learn at higher levels. And so I have to acknowledge um ACT for their strong partnership in this work. And along with that, we have a superintendent who believes and fights for student learning. He removes all barriers and ensures that we are able to focus on a few priorities. There are many school districts that have again

towered one book on top of each other where every priority has become a priority. And when everything is important, nothing is important. And so I have to thank our superintendent for allowing his team, which is all of us, the administrators, the teachers, the admin, the our classified staff to work together to make student learning a priority. Thank you.

>> Yes, you stated um board supporting, but in all actuality is our community. Our community has common sense to place people that are there for their children. It is the community. It's the people that live here that makes the difference. That's why our school district is awesome. Thank God for that. >> Thank you. And Mr. No, we actually were

not the ones who created this video. We had a team fly in from another state who noticed what Chino Valley has done. not only because of the data um that it that is evident in all of the research and publications on and on the dashboard but they noticed that collaboration through the PLC professional learning at work model has been the vehicle that we have

used to steadily improve student learning that they wanted to capture what our teams do and so a team came in um we did not pay for this but this is a video that is going to be used to uh provide training to school districts throughout the United States. >> Thank you. Looks like no more other comments or questions. Thank you so

much. Thank you for your presentation and your hard work. >> And we're now on to comments from our student representative, Phoenix. Good evening, board president Shaw, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield, and distinguished guests. As my term comes to an end, I would like to take this chance to first thank the members of the board. I've truly enjoyed

my time so much with all of you guys and am so blessed to have been able to receive an opportunity like this. I am really thankful for all of our great conversations together and the care you guys have always shown me and this is truly an experience like no other. And to everyone else attending today, I'm very appreciative of you all. Though I

may never have had to the chance to interact with many people sitting in the audience, I'm really thankful for being given the chance to understand different perspectives and observe the dedication that everyone brings to our district. And to theu newest student member, Malia, I wish you the very best. And if you have any questions, don't be afraid

to reach out to me, but I know you do great. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. And before we move on, we would like to invite you to the front of the area with the board members and Dr. Enfield. this board to get to know you. I've enjoyed our conversations. I've learned so much from you, you know. Um hopefully

I was able to influence you in a little way that maybe you could take something that you could uh take to college and beyond. But you're an excellent young man. if we could uh just mold you and and and process you and allow other people to just glean from you, it' be an excellent thing. So, thank you, sir.

It's been an honor and I just wish the best for you. >> I don't have much to say, but you know, you you are a very good person, and I'm so proud to have somebody like you here. You you're the best about all the 14 years I've been here. So, God bless you and keep up the good work at Stanford.

And you never know, you probably be running for office in the future. >> Yeah, what a name, Phoenix. Special name and he's worth it. Not only I'm happy because he made to a Stanford University uh but also he has a character character that represents a true CBUSD student. He respects his parents, his teachers and he has an honor for his peers and

his friends. What an awesome character. So I also like to not only thank him but thank his parents because the parents had done a great job raising Phoenix. Thank you. >> You know it's it's pretty rare that an old man can look at a young man and be inspired. But when I see Phoenix and his work ethic and the wisdom and the spark

that he has, it's it's an inspirational spark. I think that we could all learn something from this brilliant young man and he has a bright future and looking forward to see what he can accomplish. First off, Phoenix, I want to thank you for serving on the board of education for this year. You've done a phenomenal job. I've been extremely impressed with

the your presentations. The other thing at student government day, I was extremely impressed how you led that uh led the the presentation there and and just the way you interacted with everybody in the room and your demeanor in there. It was like complete leadership and I was extremely impressed with how you you led that and I know

that you're going to be successful. You know that uh Stanford accepted you. I mean how many people get accepted into Stanford? It's probably one of the most competitive schools to get into and so it's an indication of the drive that you have and the commitment that you have for education and we and again this whole board we've all been impressed

with with you and you've been an outstanding representation of all the students in our district. So again, congratulations >> Phoenix without uh crying. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I know you had big shoes to fill after Gabby and you were a tremendous board member, leading by example, being the voice for the students. We appreciate you. You're

amazing. God made you for the most beautiful things. I still root for you to be president one day. Um, so just keep going out there in the world and bringing that light with you because you are shining and we're going to need miss you tremendously, but please keep in touch with us. We want to root for you,

pray for you, and continue to see the success that you bring throughout the United States and wherever God takes you. Um, we have a little gift we would like you to open probably in front of everybody because we don't want you to forget about Chino Valley when you go on to bigger and better things. So, we love

you very much from the bottom of our hearts. Uh we can have a uh Phoenix's parents come here and take picture with us. >> Yes, his parents. >> Come here. And now we're on to comments from our employee representatives. Do we have Steven Frasier from ACD, our representative? Good evening, President Shaw, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield. My

name is Sarah Palmer, and I am here tonight representing the executive board of the Associated Chino Teachers. I begin tonight with a heavy heart for the ACT family and the Chino High School community. This past week, we suffered a profound loss with the unexpected passing of our colleague and friend Amanda Swagger. Amanda was a pillar of Chino High, but

she was also a fixture in this very room. These board meetings will quite simply not be the same without her. Sorry. Amanda was never one to sit on the sidelines. She was always ready to step to this microphone and share the incredible highlights of our students or to stand and speak on the most difficult topics facing our educators. She spoke

with heart, conviction, and a deep love for this district. At this time, I would respectfully ask the board and the community to join me in a moment of silence to honor the life and legacy of Amanda Swagger. Thank you. We honor her memory by continuing the advocacy she championed so fiercely. In the spirit of investing in the

future, the Associated Chino Teachers is proud to announce this year's 10 scholarship winners going to high school graduates who are the children of our members. I'm going to ask uh Will to come up and help me with um naming our scholarship winners. >> Thank you so much, Ford. Uh my name is William Rener, the ACT president-elect, and I'm happy to represent ACT and

handing out our scholarship today. We have a few folks uh here, so if they would like to come up and receive their scholarship, we'd like to give that to them. First up, we have Natalie Mayora. >> And one last round of applause for our amazing students. Thank you so much. >> Would you like to get together for a

picture? Andy can take a picture. Great. Thanks so much. Um, at this time of year, ACT also likes to honor our educators. We have the following awardees that will that we will be celebrating next week at the day of teacher celebration. Uh, we have our elementary teacher of the year going to Lori Gilbert Mccelip. Secondary teacher of the year going to

Michelle Ar. Nurse of the year going to Elizabeth Lopez. Our speech pathologist of the year, Amanda Vera, and counselor of the year, Matthew Jance. As we enter the final two weeks of the school year, we find ourselves in that familiar, bittersweet whirlwind of finals and graduations. I want to acknowledge the incredible dedication our teachers and staff has shown

throughout this year. To our members, you have worked tirelessly to support your students and one another. As we close out these last 10 days, we hope you take a moment to reflect on the impact you've made. Most importantly, we wish every member of the Associated Chino teachers and our board a restful and wonderful summer vacation. After a

year of hard work and significant loss, we hope you find time to recharge and enjoy the break with your loved ones. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the fall. Thank you for your time and thank you for helping us honor Amanda Swagger tonight. >> Thank you. >> Do we have Danny Hernandez from CSEA? >> No.

and Annette Hatch from June. We'll also be closing the meeting in memory of Amanda. Good evening, President Shaw, Superintendent Enfield, board members, cabinet, colleagues, community members, and distinguished guests. Uh, I just have a couple of updates tonight. First of all, to all the CHAMP members, the CHAMP scholarship application is currently open for graduating seniors who are children or grandchildren of

current CHAMP members. The deadline will be extended through May 11th for anyone who would like to apply. Also, the end of the year getgether held next week on Wednesday, May 13th. We would like to encourage all members of CHAMP to join us. Finally, on behalf of all CHAMP members, we would like to take this time to express our appreciation for all our

certificated and classified staff for another great year. We are aware we have been we have faced challenges throughout the year, but our schools have seen a lot of growth and received a lot of accolades. Education is a team effort and we would not be able to do what we do without the support of the whole village. So, in honor of uh classified

week and certificated week, we just want to say thank you to all of our staff. Thank you. >> Thank you. We are now on to public comments. Reagan, how many request to speak? >> There are 15. Thank you. Board bylaw 9323 meeting conduct establishes public comment guidelines and the following process applies. Speakers will be called in the order you registered on the

Please refer to board policy 1312.1 for the procedure regarding complaints against an employee. And 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. At first, I was upset. I genuinely couldn't understand how no one in this district saw the lunacy of inviting reps from TPUSA, Heritage Foundation, and Prager Youth to a junior high campus. I was truly railing all week at the hypocrisy of making our black and brown

kids sit through a lecture from the most bigoted orgs to target K12 education since the Daughters of the Confederacy, but thinking it's fine transferring your kid out of the class of a teacher that uses a child's chosen name. You guys literally invited a group of education professionals to speak to our marginalized students that consider these which whose professionals think

DEI is racist, consider mass incarceration not racist, and consider the Civil Rights Act bad for America. The same civil rights act that enables most of the people up there to even have their jobs. But as I was considering my remarks for today, I realized that what you did wasn't the bad thing I thought it was. It is in fact exactly what I've

been praying for. I have been praying for a means of showing everyone both within this community and outside of it just what it's like to be a marginalized person in CBUSD. In one swoop, you took an action and showed people that you will not only ignore racism and bigotry such as not terminating teachers that use the nword to students in class, but

you're willing to invite outside orgs who are not afraid to do the exact same thing. So, as angry and disgusted as I am by this and as repugnant as I find you, I want to say thank you for finally making clear exactly who you are and where you actually stand. And to the ladies that think to that like to laugh

and kiki behind their hands on and off camera in these meetings like the racism and inequities we warn everyone about is funny. You hide behind Shaw's aggression to marginalized people and laugh audience. >> What was that? >> Dress the board. This is not time to address the audience. >> Anyway, I may find the things she says to

Anyway, um, you hide behind Shaw's aggression to marginalized people and laugh. I may find the things she says disgusting, and I may not agree with literally anything her and the board have to say, but at least they actually say it to all our faces. I'm not sure what you find so funny, but I find your cowardice hilarious. That's it.

>> Thanks, an observant parent on a non-aggenda item. >> Hello. I'm an observant parent. Um, I've been here before. I came as a as a concerned parent and then I came as an appreciative parent and today I'm an observant parent because I've been observing these board meetings and uh you guys are pretty strong in what you do and I feel that my voice is important

in the community because we we have a small business and uh you know it's like all the good stuff we do you know you get a pat on the back but as soon something goes wrong and somebody has a complaint, they go on Yelp and they yelp us. They yelp us and they yelp us. And what I've seen, you know, during my time

here is there's a few Yelpers that kind of have complaints, but I I come after being in this community for some time and getting to know parents and community members, and I get a lot of positive feedback out there. And it's to my understanding that we're doing a pretty darn good job in Chino Valley Unified. And so I come uh as an

observant parent and also as an appreciative parent and I come as a anonymous parent because yelpers have a tendency to dox people. Um and so that's why I do that. Um, also I think my another concern is that it's funny because um, somebody mentioned to me a false equivalent and and and the fact that it's a really horrible or it's an

okay thing when parents aren't being notified by teachers that their child wants to change their gender. But when the district or a school wants to celebrate our country's 250th anniversary of being a country, then they come with their concerns and their quarrels and their complaints. Um, and it's just kind of doesn't equal out. So, when I found out about it, um, I didn't

have an issue. I'm like, let's all celebrate. You know, uh we're a great country. We're a great community. We're a great school district. And uh without the use of vulgarity, I love Chino Valley and I love the school board. And I just want to um you know, also, oh, I want to acknowledge in 25 seconds. I didn't know her, but Amanda Swagert. She

sounds like she was a swell gal. So, I'll acknowledge her. I'll acknowledge the board. I'll acknowledge the community and uh so that we can all just try to love one another. Thank you. >> Elsa Delator on a non-aggenda item. >> Good evening board members. I'm here for the residents of Anita Street regarding the slats on the new 8ft fence at

Magnolia Junior High. Residents understand and support the district's effort to improve the school safety. However, the full height of privacy slats on the installed above existing block walls create an unnecessarily enclosed appearance for the adjacent homeowners. Residents respectfully request that the slots be reduced to a height flush with the top of the block walls, partially opened or modified to

lessen the visual impact while still maintaining campus security. The um our request is just to have the slots rem cut 2 feet and our backyard. We measured our backyard from our floor to your fence. It is 9 ft 2 in. I think that's a safety issue for the residents of Anita Street. That is way too high. And um I tried to

call people on this and nobody got back to me. I sent emails, nobody got back to me. So, I'm requesting all we're requesting is the two feet be cut off those slats. Thank you. And I have a petition. >> I haven't gotten email on this. We would like to see it. Can you give it to our board secretary?

>> My name is Christy. I am a parent of three kids who are currently in the district, one of which who attends Canyon Hills Junior High. Since this district is refusing to be forthcoming and transparent about the History Rocks event at Canyon Hills tomorrow, I'm going to be. History Rocks is a program designed by a group of highly partisan,

controversial organizations who did partner with the Department of Education. But these organizations designed the program and the curriculum that will be used tomorrow. These organizations include TurningPoint USA, Prager University, and the Heritage Foundation. So, yes, our kids are being required to sit through a program designed by Turning Point USA and Prager University, and they are not allowed to

opt out. Parents have been told if we don't want our kids to participate, we can sign them out. There are so many concerning things about this, but at the top of the list for me is that this district is allowing our kids to be used as a prop. both for Sonia to get attention as she seeks a statewide

office and for the Trump administration to take footage of our kids, which they then turn around and make propaganda reels to post on their social media accounts. I have seen clips from these events on Linda McMahon's page, the American First Policy Institute page, and the Department of Ed. My child is not a propaganda prop or a means for you

to increase your political status and gain the attention or endorsement of Donald Trump. I would like to know why it appears all efforts were made by the Skite to keep parents in the dark about the guest speakers. They are referenced, but the names are not used. The guest speakers do include Sonia Shaw and Katie Gorka. I highly recommend Parents at

Home Google Katie Gorka. You will likely see she is tied to anti-immigration policies including family separation. Has said that people need to quote get over slavery and be proud we overcame it. But worst of all, she's married to Sebastian Gorka, who has been accused of ties to a Hungarian far-right group, which the US State Department identifies as having operated under Nazi Germany's

direction during World War II. Leaders of the group claimed Gorka took a quote lifelong oath of loyalty. This event was cancelled at many other locations because it is controversial. I would like to know who decided for me and for all of the parents that this is or is not a controversial thing. Was it Sonia? Was it the random reporter that was

cited in the email to parents from Wisconsin? Who got to decide this? For a group that claims to be so about parent rights, you're showing exactly what I've been saying all along, that you're only about rights for certain parents. Um, I do want to end by acknowledging the death of a friend of many of us here, Amanda

Swagger. I had the honor of working with her many, many years ago, and um, I'm so sad for her family, sending them love, and I just want to acknowledge what a brave, kind person she was. Thank you. >> Paul Griffin on a non-aggenda item. >> Uh, good evening, Iowa. In the spirit of Amanda Swagger who uh passed away, she

loved to address the board on some random facts for what what's happened recently. And so I'm going to do that in my own way. Uh two days ago was Cinco de Mayo and I think it's important that everyone understands why we celebrate Cinco deio in this country. Uh it's one of my favorite history lessons uh whenever I have a chance as a math and a

history teacher. So in 1962 is when the French invade Mexico. is happening during the Civil War. Lincoln has the Anaconda Plan chokes off the South's ability to trade with the outside forces with a naval blockade. What that does is it causes cotton prices to go up because they can't export it much the same way as the cutting off all the oil in the

straight of Hormuz has caused gas prices to go up. The only way that cotton can come out is through the Mexico Texas border. European countries are pleading with Mexico, hey, how about we get some uh cotton that way, but Mexico says, "No, we will not do business." >> Is this relevant to the school board? >> Yes. And

>> please bring it back because this is >> in honor of Amanda Swagger, I want to make sure everyone at this board knows why we >> comment is within our purview and so far you haven't tal about anything in our purview. So just please bring it back. >> Sure. So, uh, as far as the, uh, uh, the

teaching the the event that's happening at Canyon Hills, if they are going to present this history, I want to make sure that the board knows that this is part of our history and that this should be shared, that uh, when Mexico was asked to to do this, they said no. Me France decided to invade. And in France invading, it was

up to Mexico to defeat them so that the South would not have any economic prosperity from that. Which means that the Mexican people helped make sure that America won the uh that the North won that battle. We won the Civil War. The Mexican blood was spilled to end slavery in this country. That needs to be part of our history because if we whitewash

that, we're saying that only white people built this country and that is not true. We owe a lot. We are indebted to our Mexican friends and we welcome our Mexican-American allies. Cue >> Sarah Mari on a non-aggenda item. All right. Good evening, board uh community um at large. Um I thought I'd add libit tonight in honor of Amanda's

Swagger. Um that's what she came here and did every night. Um I'm appreciative that we are going to be adjourning the meeting in her honor. I was going to ask for that, but I'm glad that's already been lifted up. Um I wanted to make sure uh she was acknowledged with all this noise and distraction and flooding the

zone that this board is bringing. Um, I think her presence or her lack of presence is definitely deafening. Um, she was a huge pillar in this community. She really embodied what it meant to be a teacher both inside and outside the classroom. I never had the honor of being her student, but I did get to learn a lot from her just sitting in

these meetings talking outside the room with her. I think she is a genuinely good person, and I the world is definitely at a loss without her. I wish there was more Amanda Swaggers in the world. Um, she approached things with such grace and dignity and then also was very knowledgeable. I think we all learn things whenever she came up here and

spoke. Um, and Miss Sha, I wish you would have enough respect to look me in the eye when I talk about a community member. It's really unfortunate. Um, and so I'm not going to take the whole time. I think everyone in this room knows what a loss losing Amanda Swagger is to this community. and I wish we can continue

her honor in acting genuinely, honestly, with good faith, with ethics, and always putting your passion first. Thank you, >> Kate Morales on a non-aggenda item. >> Hi, Canyon Hills is not hosting an educational event, but a political rally. And you and I both know that History Rocks is a partisan stunt explicitly intended to spread hateful and ahistorical propaganda. Though our

CBUSD president is woefully and embarrassingly uneducated, she's not ignorant of how propaganda works. This board knows exactly how to dress extremist ideology in sheep's clothing to further their pathetic ambitions. But they don't need to have followed the nasty political games this board has been playing with our money and our children's futures. These people don't need to understand the endless lawsuits

you've gotten us embroiled in under the guise of parental consent. All they need to know is that parental consent goes out the window when Shaw sees a photo opportunity. They need to understand that if this board and Canyon Hills principal David Reese had nothing to hide from parents, then you wouldn't have hid it. Parental consent is required to expose students to verified

scientific fact. Yet, you don't inform parents about a campaign event that disrupts valuable learning time and involves pictures of their children being disseminated through the federal government's media channels. This federal government, the hypocrisy shown here is to use Shaw's favorite word, disgusting. right. Good evening, board. Um, so, uh, I've been seeing there's been like a like a little few online, uh, people

just going crazy online. And a lot of lot of this controversy over the the anniversary of the birthday of the the country, I guess, the the celebration happening tomorrow at one of our schools was started by people that work for the district, teachers, you know. So we got people that are in the district that work here that hate America, hate what

it stands for, hate his freedoms, you know, they're they're they want to be Marxist, but yet they won't leave America. They'll leave here, right? They won't move to Cuba or or North Korea, but they want to stay here, right? And they they hate the fact that we want to celebrate America. One of the things that I that I kind of looked real quick

and I figured out, I guess I guess they only picked one district from what I know per state, 50 states, right? Um and and there there's about 1300 or more districts in America. So for Tina to be picked, it's an honor, you know, instead of people being upset about, you know, us getting recognition of being a good

school in California, a great school in the nation, uh instead of you being excited about it, being proud, you're mad, you know, and we've heard, we've seen how good the school is doing. It's it's progressed. You know, a lot of districts right now are still trying to catch up during the co issue the co era, you know, but we're doing good. And

instead of you being happy about that because there's nothing really happening that they complain about. So they're making up stories. They're making up issues, you know, to to to get all the low IQ people all upset and stuff, you know? So, so, so what what I see and then they say, well, separation of church state, right? So, this is not a

religious, it's not a religious event. >> Everybody's been truly respectful and this side. I don't know where it's coming from. I saw one person right now. That's your first warning. You know who I'm talking to right now. >> No more. So when I say low IQ people then those are the ones that respond right and if you're smart then you don't

understand this is a good thing for children for children to be able to be proud of their country where they come from where they were born right so they say it's a religious thing it's not a religious thing right uh American pride is not religious um you know I remember just a couple years ago just a few

months ago you know you know we were talking about you know you know having kids safe in restrooms you know or or not having teachers keep secrets from parents right and that was okay you know you could literally transition your kids you could literally give your kids home rockers behind a parent's back and that's okay with you. But when somebody

wants to come in and present an event to an entire school in front of everybody, there's no secrets. Everybody knows about it, right? You're upset. It doesn't make any sense, you know? And then and then, you know, we're getting uh lessons by by these ex-teers, right, about America being so racist, right? But yet most people that are doing this

come from the left, which is the Democrat party, right? Democrat party started the KKK in this country, you know, and they were also the ones that pushed Jim Crow laws, you So, so you might not know history very good if you if you're a a voting Democrat because you're both of the same people that you're saying we are. We want freedom.

We want everybody to have a right and everybody to be safe and also be proud of where you live. So, thank you board for being such a great example to the country that even DC catches it. I guarantee you if it was Biden or or the Democrats having drag queens here, they'd be happy. They wouldn't even care. It's it's a non-issue. It's so

it's >> Oscar on action item 3C3. >> Yeah. So, um I wanted to kind of just give a quick remark. Um one of the people that so so um it's a resolution that gets about classified week and I'm okay with that. I mean I think people that work for the district are good people should be recognized and I I have

you know my daughter goes to Chino Chino High School and stuff you and you know they have a great staff there. I love the principal the staff people that work there. I love them all. They know who I am. I love them. So, I think people that that work for the district should be should be recognized, I think. But, uh,

some of the people that are pushing this other agenda are from the district. And there's a guy that online works for the district has been threatening me, call me names, threatening to catch me. His name is Marcus. You You guys know who he is, right? So, I think we should honor all the castine employees that said Marcus. Okay? So, I say honor him, just

not Marcus. God bless you. >> Adriana Cardinz is Lee on an information item. >> Good evening everyone. I am so glad that lady came over on the PLC recognizing how we are so distinguished, how we're beating up all the school districts around the area. Beautiful. However, I am so glad you are able to look at the paperwork that is at the

school. I want you to look at the ELD situation at least in Chino High School where I taught for 42 years and students would come to me. I'm not a counselor. I was just a teacher. But they would come to me almost three years ago. This poor student has a birthday on December 5th. She's a senior. And they tell her, "You're 18 years old

now. you have to go start tomorrow at adult school at at the district, not adult school, but you know the the high school at the adult school uh and finish high school the next day, two weeks away from the semester that she could have gotten credit for the entire semester. I did complain to the lower uh district

and they did change the year to 19 years the EL students may stay at the high school level but not to let them finish two weeks and get the whole semester because she didn't have the ninth grade uh uh uh grades from the country in Latin America. That always is high school starting at the ninth grade. Ninth grade

is junior high. They don't ask for the transcripts. By the time I go and tell them, tell the parents to get the transcripts from the ninth grade, the kid had already come back to Mexico because she wanted to start the next semester and not lose out. This is what what you need to look look at at how many they read tech 18 years

is already in red n so that they can kick them out on the day of their birthday to start. Now we have a library science class at Chino High School. The librarian is supposed to teach the class. I don't want to call you chipskates but you don't have a librarian at Chino High on Mondays and Tuesdays. Those students sit there and

play on their phones all the time. You also have a dancing class all year long. The EL kids do not have a computer class for them. I got schoolside council to give us a 10 week one. >> Mauricio canto on a non-aggenda item. This week is teacher appreciation week and unfortunately we are one less teacher in our union as Chino teacher

Amanda Swagger is no longer physically with us. My heart goes out to her family, friends, co-workers, and students. Amanda was a staple at these board meetings, and I know she would have spoken about teacher appreciation week. So, happy teacher appreciation week to all of our wonderful teachers who keep showing up and doing what is best for our students. I hope this board

honors Amanda by closing the meeting in her honor. At the last meeting, I discussed how I have struggled to get a hot spot for a family with special needs students. Dr. Park and Mr. Smith had an exchange over this and a lot of information was left out. Mr. Smith asked if there was an issue with students with IEPs and hotspots and Dr.

Park said, "No, there isn't. If it is in their IEP, then they have it." Mr. Smith, you are so uninformed, you did not even ask the right questions. Since 2020, families in this community have had access to hotspots if they requested it through the school library. This was going on until this year when the hotspots stopped working. No

explanation, no information given. So why should hotspots be written into the IEPs when families had them for six years without IEPs? I have since asked if I could write it into the IEP and I was told no by my program specialist and director of special ed. So Dr. Park, what you shared is a halftruth because no one has hotspots written into their

IEP and we're not even being allowed to write it in. Another halftruth by Mr. Smith is when he said that he does not know why people are complaining about not having paper when he saw plenty of paper in the warehouse. While I don't have this issue, it does not mean that others don't. Part of appreciation appreciating teachers is believing them.

Stop gaslighting us when we bring up concerns like I did with the hotspot. Neither of you bothered to follow up. The parent is very upset, but you falsely claim to care about parental rights. Speaking of which, why are you keeping secrets from parents? This History Rocks event in Canyon Hills is in collaboration with PragerU and Turning Point USA, aka a coalition of

right-wing extremist organizations. The director of this event is Katie Gorka, who just a quick Google shows that she minimizes slavery as something we have overcome. First of all, she's not black, so I don't know what she had to overcome in terms of slavery. And she is anti-teer unions, but happy teacher appreciation week to us, right? Oh, and

side note, her husband has ties to Hungarian Nazis. Sonia, I thought we should focus on reading, writing, and math, but you're literally interrupting state testing for a civic ceremony. That's a cover up for a political powerhouse full of extremists. And why are you keeping secrets from parents? In messages to them, the speakers have not been mentioned by name and they are not

being given the option to opt out. Sonia Shaw and Katie G. >> Debbie Hernandez on a non-aggenda item. And good evening. I'm going to be speaking off the cuff because uh I couldn't get an accommodation to put my notes on a a podium. I appreciate that you have to ask for that by 10:00 a.m., but since this didn't happen till 1:30

this afternoon, that made it a little difficult for me to do that. Um, I want to address some a comment by you Mike regarding um or Sean Mike Sean um regarding that if this is if a podium is the only thing that everybody has to to talk about then what a great job you're doing. It's not the only thing we have

to talk about. It's one of the basic simple accommodations that we as your constituents are asking for. And this is a case in point. my non-dominant hand. I can't hold my notes because and turn pages. My non-dominant or my my dominant hand is out of of commission. A podium would have allowed me u the ability to reference my notes. So, it's not that

that's the only thing. It really is somewhat important. More importantly, the class or the assembly that's taking place tomorrow. Um, I love the way everybody wants to attack people for their different views. I think everybody loves our country. I certainly love my country. I love my country enough that I'm willing to learn, hear, and share all of our history, good, bad,

indifferent. I want to hear the the I I want to launder the the the dirty laundry because I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Much like Nazi Germany or not not Nazi Germany but Germany makes their se their high school students go to concentration camps and learn about that history so that it never happens again. The fact that we uh

are calling this a 250th annivers or anniversary um education and celebration. It's a very onesided celebration though. If we had included all points of views I would have felt much more comfortable about it. But again, this does feel very politically motivated. I am very concerned about it. I've had a person who's been involved with Turning Point USA, and it took us a

long time to to bring her back to what we feel is a a sane a view of our country. So again, if we're going to teach history, let's teach history. Let's teach the bad stuff so we don't do that again. Let's teach the good stuff so we can celebrate it and make sure that those are the kinds of things we

keep replicating. But to give only one point of view, that's just not acceptable. Paul Griffin on a consent item. I haven't started speaking yet. My time needs to be reset. According to what Cruz said, my time does not start until I start speaking. I need my time reset. >> Mr. Cruz, could you repeat what you said there for?

>> Okay. So, you best review the minutes because that's what I'm going to talk about because Cruz said when you start speaking, that's when your time starts because I have to adjust this before I can start speaking properly. So, what gives? Let's let's be fair here. All right. So, the minutes in question, Mr. Cervantes, you responded to the

question, do you believe Donald Trump was wrong for asking or for saying that students with learning disabilities are dumb and should not be prepared for high performance uh jobs? You said you would never judge a man you've never met nor knew his state of mind when he was doing it. I got to ask, was that your mentality when you were working for

Chino Police? Saw someone went, "Maybe he's committing a crime, maybe he's not. I don't know. I don't know the guy. I don't know his state of mind." The the security guy at Magnolia, did you not know him or did you know him? Did you know him well enough to know that what he was doing was wrong? Did

you know his state of mind? Because if you didn't, you couldn't ask him to be removed. Right? I'm pretty sure you know right from wrong. So, I'm asking you again, was that a correct statement or an incorrect statement in congruity with the values and norms of our school district? Please give me an answer at your time to speak and make that clear

to everyone because that last answer was completely wholly inefficient, substandard and ridiculous. Thank you >> Paul Griffin on a consent item. >> So uh when it comes to Oh, there it is. the bylaws for meeting conduct. Uh, Miss Shaw, you displayed during your time uh, some pictures up there about what is grooming? I've got it right here. Let me

make sure I pull this up so that I'm quoting it correctly because I don't think you understand truly what grooming is. You think our teachers are doing it. Uh, I'm going to make the case I think you're the one doing it and you need to stop because it's a manipulator or groomer uses in this case trust building special

attention to foster a secret unhealthy dependency like all of the fear that you've been trying to pedal to all of our parents. You can't trust the teachers. They'll try and change your gender. There's not a single one of us that are doing that. No one is doing that. But you're going to make them believe that so that they can only trust you.

No one else should be trusting anyone else. Just you. Uh what what else do we have? So we've got lovebombing the child. You so love all of our parents and their kids. Sure you do. And everyone else who does not align with you hates them and wants to take their kids away. This is the lies and the fear-mongering.

You've got creating an a us against them mentality. I thought we were all working together to make these kids have a a good education, have a good life, but you seem to be at the very core of destroying that. And then targeting vulnerable children. What about targeting vulnerable parents who may not know any better, who may just be

trusting people who are in your position, and you are abusing and breaking that trust by lying to them and telling them that we're we're all part of some weird cabal. Sonia, please, we know why you're saying this because it's rhetoric that worked with McCarthy in the 50s. It worked to overthrow democracies in Peru and in Ecuador and in Venezuela and Romania and

Hungary and Germany and Italy. It's the same playbook. It's the fascist playbook. We're sick of it. Stop. Just resign and leave us all alone. >> Thank you. We're now on to changes and deletions. Are there any changes or deletions? >> There were no changes or deletions. >> Thank you. And I would like to ask the board for consensus to move our new

school school board member um to the front before action items. If that's okay, just say yes. Nod. Okay, good. We can get to swearing her in. So, she may go home and do all of her homework and everything else. Okay, we're going to switch over to the action item 2 A 3A1 2026 2027 student member of the board of education recommends the

I look forward to working with all of you and the other CBUSD students and the community to have another great school year. And thank you so much for having me here tonight. Please give our new student board member for 2026 2027. Another round of

applause. Awesome. Okay, just give them a second. And we're now at the first item of discussion. We're going to go back to discussion. We just did that so that way she may leave and get her homework done. Uh 2A1 per decision number 3017 regarding Associated Chino Teachers versus Chino Valley Unified School District case number LA-CE-6828-E. Board President Sonia Shaw recommends

that the board of education discuss the curb decision number 3017 regarding case number LA-CE-6828-E. As a reminder, this is a discussion item. No action will be taken. With that, may I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. Cruz, and a second by Mr. Smith. Thank you. Okay, before we begin discussing this item, let me preface it with this. I have a slideshow

union lawsuit against parent notification and flag policy. We've seen a lot of misinformation go across even being told to staff and we just want to clear I want to clear up a couple things and have a discussion in public um to just clear up a couple things and honestly ask ourselves why are we even in this position? Um, next slide.

I believe it's wasted time, money, and focus away from our kids' education and from the classroom. Next slide. The lawsuit, ACT, the union, declared war on parents and our kids. The union has sued CBUSD over two core policies in this particular lawsuit. There's many more. So, this ones that we're going to be discussing is the parent notification, which you've seen a

Supreme Court ruling in favor. We shouldn't have ever been sued for this. Parents have a right to know. It's constitutional right. And then our flag policy, something that again we were voted in. So I will go through. They weaponized the legal system using teachers own dues, staff time, and our kids education money because ultimately it took time from our staff away and

money away to have to fight these frivolous lawsuits. Next slide. They understand that perb which is the administrative you know law judge and uh system they weaponized it using the legal system. They understand that uh these judges are appointed and unfortunately usually always rule in favor regardless of facts um teachers money staff time our education dollars. I believe it's theft from children. And

when you say when I say I believe it's just because I don't want to be called in front of the stand and have the union sue our school district again. These are my words. Um, so please be cautious on trying to get us in another lawsuit. And I'm providing what I believe is facts and I am the voice of our community of

duly elected to be in this position to bring what I believe is the truth. Next slide. Union leadership position. To me, it's a diabolical agenda and you'll keep hearing me add in to me just to protect our district from another frivolous lawsuit. union bosses are pushing and I say bosses because we have a lot of great teachers in the union and

unfortunately their leadership the bosses the ones that are driving these lawsuits are the ones that I believe should take responsibility but ultimately I believe the membership should be pushing back on this frivolous lawsuits because it's breaking trust. So pretty much they said parents have no right to know what's happening. I mean why fight us on a parent notification

policy? They also said teachers would not notify parents. They want political flags and indoctrination in the classrooms, not education. They're fighting us on that actively. They're actively hiding truth from the parents. We know that. We've seen it. We wouldn't be sued against a lawsuit that says you have to tell parents if they weren't trying to have secrets.

Let's go to the next slide. The flag issue. So we have a flag policy and it says the US military California flags flag is the only ones allowed in the classroom. Then they told their members they won and to put up any flag you want. That's not correct. We still have a current policy that we're also in another

lawsuit with because we're getting sued for that one as well because we said we didn't want any other flag but the US military flags and the California flags allowed in the classroom. Sounds pretty common sense to me. Question is, why sue over flags if the California, US, and the military flags are permitted? What's the intent? We have teachers put up different flags,

including some that were causing disruptions and division. I would actually ask Dr. Anfield, would you please speak on behalf of some of the complaints that you've gotten in regards to flags before we implemented our policy? First of all, flags are a powerful symbol that are often displayed out of a genuine desire for support. And our district must ensure that the

actual impact on students takes priority over the intent of an adult to display that symbol. Our schools are a home. Our schools are home to beautiful tapestries of backgrounds. We have students with families are personally impacted by global conflicts and others who hold a wide range of personal and social beliefs. When a student enters a classroom and

feels the environment is aligned with one side of a conflict or a specific ideology, it creates a barrier to learning. Our job is to remove those barriers. And I see people in the audience waving their their their head. We had individuals put up Israel flags in a classroom and we had Palestinian students in that classroom and as a Palestinian student, how would

you feel seeing that flag in the classroom? They reported to us that they did not feel supported or safe in that classroom. Does the adult have the right to put that up and make a student feel that way? And on the flip side, we had pal uh teachers that put up a Palestinian flag and we had Jewish students in that

classroom who did not feel comfortable in that classroom. We had Ukrainian flags in classrooms and we had students of Russian descent who did not feel comfortable in that room and we had Russian flags and Ukrainians in different classrooms with those groups of students not feeling comfortable in that classroom. Those are real situations that happen within our district.

They come there to that classroom to learn. And so I'll go back to what I said. Our district must ensure that the actual impact on students takes priority over the intent of an adult displaying a symbol. We have situations where students feel different from different backgrounds felt unsafe or marginalized because of the symbols displayed. Instead of the

classroom being a shared space, it becomes a divided one. When displays become the primary focus of a classroom, and this has happened, primary focus, sometimes covering a huge wall or the appearance that every classroom is displaying that flag that I've had numerous parents contact me and ask me, does the district support that ideology? This is not the role of a public school.

The role is for our students to come here and learn in that classroom and it's not to promote ideology. I understand the desire to show support through symbols. I understand that. But while they may offer support to some, they create divisions for others. By maintaining a neutral space, we remove that division and ensure a welcoming environment for

all students. And so that's why the flag policy was in place here is we're looking at all students so that when they come into the classroom, they're not having to be subjected to the symbol that's representation of of the of ideology or of a country that their family may have experienced some war situations which is actually has happened here in this district. And

so that's what we're asking for in the flag policy. >> Thank you for thank you for clearing that up. Um it's been a lot of wars from the minute I came in. Even when I was just the president of a parent group, I would constantly listen about the flag wars and it was divisive and it needed to stop. So that brings me to classrooms

should be neutral learning environments and that is our goal. The next slide is this simple. It's common sense. The one flag that unites us all. United States of America flag. I should have never came in as a brand new president of a school district seeing that flag not present in classrooms. It's federal law. That has to be in

every classroom. Why did I have to raise the flag literally and ask him to have it put in every single classroom? Other flags were being put in place of the one flag that should be up there that unites us all. That's the US flag. This is the most beautiful country. We're celebrating our 250th birthday. It doesn't mean that we've gotten

everything right, but it means we have the most beautiful nation that brings us all together with this flag, the symbol. So, go to the next one. What the union actually won is a disgrace. It's embarrassing and I really don't think it represents the majority of our teachers. If they even knew that we were being sued this much by the

union, I think they would be honestly nauseous. I don't think it's them. And I pray to God it's not them because then we have a bigger problem. Teachers now are no longer required required to tell parents if their child is being bullied. That was the decision. Millions in wasted time and money. Remember, they claimed that we wasted

the money in lawsuits. Well, we had to be sued and they sued us for a flag policy and a parents constitutional right to know policy. So, who really wasted the money? We had to respond. We were getting sued on two issues we've been very transparent about. And we said, "These are our heels." This is money stolen from the classroom when you

have to have a deputy superintendent and a superintendent and others show up to these court cases in an eight hour span. How embarrassing. All because of what? You don't want to tell parents and then you say you're not keeping secrets from parents. Well, why sue us for a policy that that puts it in there? It engraves it in there.

They fought in court and they won the right to hide bullying from parents. That's what they won. Nothing else nothing else about the policy did they win. That's what they won. That's what now we have to go and say we lost bad district. We didn't negotiate which we offered to negotiate. They refuse to negotiate, by the way. And that'll bring

me to why. Because there is kangaroo courts. There is dishonorable judges appointed by dishonorable people. Sue me. I had to sit in one of those court cases recently asking if I loved my friend. I think it's insane. I have to answer CTA, California Teachers Association question by a judge making me answer if I love my friend. What does

that have to do with our school district? I mean, it's mindblowing. Next slide. But don't worry, we're all about solutions. We don't give up. We don't give in. We fixed it with our good teachers to change the policy to work around this because when they say no, we're going to show them we're going to do it anyways

because it's what's right. It's what's constitutional and it's what's best for kids. So, thank you to our great teachers and our admin and our superintendent who has fought fear fearlessly for parents rights and for classrooms to be neutral learning environments free from indoctrination. Next slide. Negotiation breakdown. So, when there's going to be notices posted all over, bad

district, you didn't negotiate. Imagine having to negotiate for parents rights to know and flags in a classroom. Really? We met two times with the union. They refused to negotiate further. Instead, they took it to the kangaroo court where they knew they would get the decision they wanted. Herb in front of a dishonorable judge. But then again, I

just told you what they won. What did they really want? Division. Classroom time away from, you know, our kids. I don't know. You ask me. Next slide. The court's decision is mind-blowing to me. and actually in my own words disgusting. The court ruled that telling parents their child, this is pretty much what it is. If their child was assaulted, it's

not an essential part of a teacher's job to tell the parents. Is that not mind-blowing to you? This kangaroo court with a dishonorable judge. Yes, I said it. Those are my words, not their words. So, if you want to take us to court, please remember those are my words, not the district's words. And I have freedom of speech,

guys. Good good thing that I know my First Amendment rights, but I'm according to teachers in this district, highly uneducated. Again, what was the message when you tell me that because I didn't graduate college? You told kids in our district that are in the classroom with you that they equate to nothing because they don't have a college degree. Keep

saying it out loud. So, what the judge did decide was protecting kids is not the best interest of our children. Are you awake yet? I am. Next slide. The most bizarre and disgusting part is this. For an example, because of this court case, if a kid gets up in the classroom, which we all know that's happening because it's it's even hard to

discipline kids because they make laws that we can't discipline kids. And then we have poor teachers with chaotic classrooms, right? Even though we do discipline kids and we just get the slap on the wrist at district. So if a kid gets up, walks across the room, punches another kid in the face, that's not something the teacher needs to report

anymore according to this judgment. This is an essential function of being a teacher, but the court and the union says it needs to be negotiated. Are you awake yet? They are protecting words in the union contract instead of our kids' safety. I'm sorry. I won't give up into this. And I'm glad we have a board that won't give into

this. And I'm glad we have a district that won't give into this. Next one. They claimed it was a change in their working conditions. Can you imagine to be up in arms and sue the district in which it's the one that gives you employment, the one that is constantly on the front lines, the one that is being identified by Stanford

as doing something great and you're pissed because of a flag policy and a constitutional parents rights to know policy and you're claiming it's a change in your work condition. I don't know. I mean, hello Hasn't it always been the role of a teacher to notify a parent if their kid is being bullied or hit? Why are we fighting this? Do you want to

interrupt again? I heard another outburst. I mean, come on, guys. Thank God we still have good teachers that take it. Yes, please escort yourself out. Escort yourself out. Thank God we have good teachers in this district that still inform parents on their own. And thank God we went worked around the system despite the lawsuits and being sued and we still notify

parents because that's a parent's constitutional right. Next slide. The alarming part is that there's a court that actually makes this decision and there's nothing we can do. They have weaponized it. We even gave three days, three days, guys, for a notification to take place. I would be pissed as a mom in this district if the district took three days

to tell me if my kid got socked in the face and my kid was scared to tell me because they were being bullied. God knows what was going on. We gave three days. And the fact that the union leadership weaponized this is disgusting. It's awful. It should never happen. And I hope the new incoming leadership decides that this is not the

hill they want to die on. Next one. It caused division and waste. I mean, this is the most important part. Time away from classrooms. We have flag wars. He described it. He told you. We have all kinds of flags that were politically motivated. Politically motiv motivated. Flag wars are nothing new for districts. You see it all over. It's a

headline everywhere. We said no. this flag, California flag, military flag, any other one would need approval if it has to do with the curriculum, but that's it. No, nothing else. Classrooms should be learning environments. A kid comes in there to learn. They don't even need to know the teacher's personal opinion about anything. That's a safe space. You want

to talk about safe spaces, that's what a safe space is. Classrooms should be focused on education and that's it. We spent a lot of time and money on this. Next slide. And just because part of curb, they weaponize it. I mean, I showed you slides last week of what was being shown to kids in a classroom. It was

absolutely mortifying. It was sexual. It was weird. It was gross. I gave proof. They lie to indoctrinate. And it's exposed. and teach and this teacher particularly that I'm going to talk about actively sabot sabotaging America a teacher our teacher this is proof because I'm going to show you proof this is fact it's not hearsay it's not another parent like I got a call before

walking in this meeting that a teacher allegedly told a classroom the school's going to be shot up at which was not true if that's true why are you fear-mongering kids again I'm sorry I don't call them teachers I call them union activist We have great teachers and we have union activists that are should not be in in any room near a kid.

A teacher is telling students that they're not going to college if they're seen at the assembly that you heard all the uproar about that celebrates America's birthday. Apparently, they told him it's wrong to celebrate America. He's encouraging kids to miss school and protest the 250th celebration instead of participating. This is indoctrination manipulation and should be classroom education time. But

then again, these are the kinds of things that if we at the district, not the board members. We don't write people up, but if they do something according to what these teachers did that were wrong, we get perb weaponized against us and we get another lawsuit that we get blamed for using money. Next slide. Who do you trust to raise your kids?

I've told parents in this own district in in this very district, you have five board members. You have great teachers. You have great admin. Have those dinner table conversations. You do not know what's being told. And now we have parents who do know what's going on, try to do damage, and their own child is saying, "My teacher would never lie to

me." The union and the state have made their answers crystal clear. They sue to hide bullying from parents. They say notifying parents is not an essential teacher duty. They tell kids it's wrong to celebrate America. They scare and lie to children about their future, telling them they won't go to college if they're seen on this celebration of America's

250th birthday. Sounds like commun communism to me. Go look up the de definition. Talking about grooming, go look up the definition. You are feeding off the minds of vulnerable children. You're taking advantage. That's grooming. I read the definition. The state and the union think they are better at raising kids than you, the parents. We say no. Parents have a right

to know. These are not their children. Parents are trusting their children to get an education. We don't want to be those school districts in the 47th percentile for reading, writing, and math. We don't want to be the school district in the 37th percentile for math. We are doing our darn hardest, and so are the great teachers to Ann to give kids a great

education. This is a direct attack on parents rights. Now, I'm going to show you something. It's the seventh grade teachers communist meltdown over the celebrating of America's 250th birthday at Canyon Hills. No parent notification was given in regards to this. The celebration hasn't even taken place. It's tomorrow. It is so benign. It's celebrating America. It's talking about the founding

documents and celebrating our 250th birthday. Nothing crazy. And all these lies are going about these organizations are rallying and this is now. That's not even true. And we had a teacher that when this next slide starts had told the kids what to think, told the kids how to be scared before this has ever even taken place. Go ahead and cue the next one.

But they do US history and they tell it like the United States is perfect and has never done anything wrong, which every country has done many things wrong. I mean, especially with the United States, things like slavery, I mean, like that's a terrible thing. Um, but they teach in a very nonrealistic historical way. And so I me I very much

disagree with this group that is coming to our school, like very much cuz it is fake history. It's not real. Um, and so I will not be here Friday. I'm taking that day off cuz I disagree with it and many other teachers are going to do the same thing. Um, what I say with that is as you guys go to that assembly,

someone who really cares about history is on you. What they're teaching has some smidges of truth, but a lot of fake stuff in it, too. Um, and it is a very political assembly. It is hosted by a very political group. Um, and I disagree with it very much. Um, so I I very much disagree with it and

Um, I I I feel like I would be giving you guys a disservice if I didn't say this. I actually don't think I'm probably allowed to say what I'm saying right now. Um, but it is fake history. >> Um, but it's what they teach is very fake and it's not real and it that really hurts me because it it it kind of

bastardizes history. Um, which is a terrible thing to do. turning point and from the current presidential administration presidential administration will be there. There's a list that we got uh people who will be there. Um so I'm just throwing it out. That is something I wholly disagree with. There's also some students who have been asked to participate in it and their parents have

already pulled them from school that day um because they're they don't want to be on camera cuz they're also filming it because that could screw over their college chances if they're involved in it of them being like yeah like like you know this is how Yeah. So I'm just throwing it out there that it's something I highly disagree with

after the fact on Monday. If you guys want to talk about it, we can. Um, and it's not just something that happens in this country. Um, all countries have like revisionist history. Um, for example, Japan is really bad about it. Uh, Japan did some terrible things in World War II and they completely act like it never happened. Um, the country

that's actually the best at being honest about their history is Germany. Um, Germany is very much like, yeah, these the Nazis did terrible things. We own up to it. We have museums about it because we want to this never to happen again. Um, some countries try to sweep the bad things under the rug and act like they

never happened. And that's kind of what this thing is right now. And I think that's terrible because if you sweep the bad things on the rug, you never learn from them, right? Um, and it's that's not real history. Yeah. >> Why? So, we had no choice. Literally yesterday, they told our principles, "Hey, this is coming to your school

tomorrow on Friday, like this Friday." And it's happening. >> Nothing to do about >> Yeah. So, you know, the the school board said it was happening. Yeah. >> Just stars. Again, the reason I'm saying this is something I very much disagree with and that's why I'm not going to be on Friday cuz I'm not I don't want to be

one on camera at all. I don't want to be uh looking like I support that. Uh so, yeah, I know me and at least a few other teachers won't be here. Um Yeah, but they try to um and and this again it's not just it happen. It happens in many places where there are terrible things that happen and they

pret try to pretend they never happen um and only good things that are happening and like that's so weird. That's not how history is supposed to work. History is supposed to be very honest. That's why I said there's there's really not any don't look at history as good and bad. Just look at as things that happened and

then that's that's how you should look at history. Uh they do not look at it like that. They want to use history as a tool to make you feel like, "Oh, well, we're the best country and there's nothing wrong with us." So, >> that's Yeah, it's it's it it's bad because if you never look at the negative things, then you can't improve,

right? If you already think you're perfect, you can't improve, which is the scary thought, I think. Um because we have a lot of things that are amazing, but we also have a lot of things that are not amazing compared to some other countries. Like, we it's I mean, that's just how everything works, right? Um, nothing is all good or all bad. I mean,

everything has its balance. >> This teacher never saw anything that was going to take place tomorrow. It literally on the description of the Department of Ed's website said a celebration of America's 250th birthday. That's it. No supplemental things, no nothing. We teach American history in junior high. It's part of what we do. To have our generation celebrate the

most beautiful country is and and to fight against this and then tell kids and fearmonger them and even scare them to the point of telling them they don't have to go to college. guarantee this will end up as another perb case if the leadership doesn't get their stuff together and realize they're on the wrong side of history.

That teacher did not give a neutral standpoint. That teacher did a disfavor and that teacher actually divided homes right now because we have little children and not all parents know about that classroom and what they were told. And we have little children now fighting their parents saying, "My teacher would never lie to me. Mom, I can't go. And allegedly, we have

another teacher telling them the school is going to be shot up at. What the hell? This is literally diabolical crap. And you're over here beating us up for lawsuits. Stop suing us for addressing things like this. That's why I've brought in these slideshows, not to waste your time, not to go on, to give you proof. So you may

go show the public when they're lied to. Do you know that we spent time in interviews and answering to media and the school site? Our principal was bombarded with phone calls because they were told all these inaccurate things by outsiders and by teachers in the classroom with your kids. I don't care about the outsiders. What I care about

is the teachers. Those are not good teachers. Those are union activists on the wrong side of history. Next slide. The 250th celebration was nothing and is nothing more because we're not going to coward down to a bunch of what I call people that are causing terrorism in our community. It's our nation's birth and why we are the bless you. The number one

nation in the world where everyone wants to live and prosper and come here for a better life. I'm the daughter of an immigrant. He came here and he served in our military. We honored our mil military earlier. How beautiful that we have people like that. Next one. When Dr. Enfield approached me and asked me as the board president if I would

like to speak or Andy did one of them. I don't even remember because I'm not part of the planning process in all of this. So that was another lie. I'm the board president. I was honored. Of course I would love to tell our children that they are in the most beautiful country and I'm glad we get to celebrate it.

It's as basic as it is. And they made it something it wasn't. And look what happened. Go watch the news when you guys go home. It's all over the news. It's going national right now. God forbid Chino Valley celebrates the 250th birthday and an activist in the classroom told kids they weren't going to go to college if they attend.

I invited our governor who we who sues us for parents constitutional rights to come sit next to me and celebrate with our kids. I don't care what side of the aisle you are. That should bring us all together. To me, it's an honor that we were chosen. It doesn't This is not a political thing. It's an honor to be chosen as the

district in the state as they only choose one per state to be highlighted and celebrated. This is not a bad thing that they're making it out to be. Next one. I think people need to wake the heck up. I'm pissed and I want to say another word and it's there for your reference because really honestly, what are we

doing? The only thing we're guilty of is celebrating our country. They're guilty of indoctrinating our kids. I just showed you. They just told them how to think. They just bullied them. They scared them. They're they they are guilty of hiding bullying from parents. They are guilty of wasting education money on lawsuits. They are attacking the American flag. This is a war on our

kids, families, and America. My name is blasted all over every hate group right now. Why? Because we want to celebrate America. Oh my gosh. Well, then blast it more. put my face all over and say Shaw wants children to understand they're in the most beautiful country and be part of it and be part of it and learn civics and

learn our history and understand yes there was mistakes but we move forward as one one nation under God. Next slide. I mean I think it's time to fight back push back. We need to continue altogether to focus on education, not politics, not union lawsuits. Parents have a right to know everything about their child. Everything about their child.

I am sorry. No adult should be keeping any secret from any parent. Stop wasting our kids' time, our classroom time. A whole day was taken away from a child's learning time to talk about a a activist's personal opinions. And again, this flag unites us all. Stop suing us on flag policies. It's embarrassing. Protect our children. Next slide. And I

will continue to expose the truth. take the slings and arrows alongside my brothers up here while they do the great work of our district because to me this is absolutely insane. So with that We'll have a discussion if needed. And board members, you may use your light if you want to chime in. >> Mr. Cruz, mic's on.

>> You know, Mr. President Sonia, this all these emails that we received, there were so wacky there were so crazy, disturbing emails. I have I I want to read them but I'm so embarrassed to read these emails but you you know these assemblies there's assemblies every school has assemblies and we're not even aware of them even Dr. and Phil, you're not aware

of all the assemblies, but but this one I am aware. I was aware from these really crazy emails. I mean, these people are really disturbing and I'm going I'm going to it because you know yesterday when I found this out, I'm so happy that I'm going to be attending to um tomorrow and I I I'm expecting everybody here is going to be

attending the celebration of the 250 years. But we do have we do have some crazies here. It's very it's very disturbing. I mean have names here. I was going to read their emails, but um I think from now on when I get emails I'm going to have to read them. I'm going to start reading their emails because and

their names like I have I have Nantho, Nathan, Jennifer, James, Kelly, maybe Teresa. I mean, they're just crazy emails and I'm I'm very sad for them. I really am. That's all I have to say. >> Thank you, Chris. Anybody else? Mr. Smith, Mike Casson. >> It It was really interesting to when I was thinking about this, I it was

almost like, well, yeah, maybe the parents should have known sooner for such such an excellent celebration. Um, it it's it's kind of mindboggling to think that celebrating our 250th anniversary would be a controver controversial thing. Where where are we in our country with this? It's it's it's confusing. I I was actually at my barber um today and we're talking about schools

and he has a kid in the district and there's a parent that has a student that goes to Canyon and there were adults protesting out in front of this junior high about celebrating our country. Apparently, it was really intimidating and this student was afraid to go to school and was afraid that that she was going to be cancelled by

this mob that was in front of her school protesting adults protesting in front of a junior high about celebrating our 250 year anniversary. It's it's really a shameful thing. And to think that parental notification that this somehow we're we we're hypocrites up here because we don't notify parents about a 250 year anniversary that somehow this is equivalent to, you know, not telling

your uh not informing the parents that your students being bullied or trying to keep sexual secrets with a student, a child, a parent or a teacher keeping these secrets with a child, keeping that from their Somehow that's equivalent to uh not informing parents well I guess with enough enough headway uh about a 250 year celebration of our country just

seems really odd. I don't know maybe people need to really uh step back and think about their perspective a little bit. >> Thank you Mr. Smith Mr. No. Yes. Um for last 17 years I've been here um for the military salute. Every year that program has been taking place and I could confidently say least every four or eight years

our government was different government. I'm talking about our federal government. But even then, I have always told our students that thank you. Great job. I'm proud of you to each one of them because they were stepping into serving our nation, our country under our flag. One speaker mentioned about this federal government and the speaker was referring it to

celebrating our national birth 250 year celebration and there's no correlation with that. If we had that kind of doubt, we should not have military salute every every year. Depends on the government that that we're in. No, it is our duty. It is our love for this country. When our parents flew thousands of miles coming to this nation,

there's a few things that we knew that would be different. It wasn't just a language. It wasn't just the currency but also the flag and pride the royalty to the governors will be different. It is a big deal. And how could you complain about celebrating the birth of this nation when we are here? You cannot do that.

For sake of transparency though, I'd like to ask Dr. Enfield if we could uh whether televise or put it in YouTube and put it in the district website so that all the parents and everybody that who has question about this event could access to this event knowing that it is transparent. It's only thing that will show if we about love for this nation and

celebration. Nothing more and nothing less. Dr. Enfield, can you work on that? >> Yeah, we'll we'll look at I know the news is there and there is some recording, but we'll we'll see what we can do. >> Yeah. So we don't want this rumors or people questioning about this event at all and we need to be transparent. Uh

and so we don't want anyone because uh questioning about not notifying parents doing things under or behind the scene. Let's be all transparent and uh we can show the community that our school district has nothing to hide except purely about celebrating the birth of this nation and that our school district is unified all in one under one flag. Thank you.

Hello everyone. And uh yeah, this is uh a little bit shocking to me right now because uh received an invitation last week to attend this 250 year celebration at Canyon Hills and I was excited like wow, heck yeah. I'll definitely uh count me in. Love to be there. I've been serving in this community for quite a while, you know, and uh I have a

military family. I served here as a police officer and been to numerous celebrations. 250 years sounds like a big deal and that I'm alive at this time to be able to recognize and celebrate that. Um very shocked hearing the comments from a teacher. It just, you know, I uh I meet with people all the time. You know, we may agree on a lot of

things, maybe disagree on a lot of things, but you know what? I always like to try to find the common ground. And I take it every time I meet with people, I always try to focus on that. And I think um the people that I met with throughout this year and a half that I've been on the board, they could they I think

they'd have to say that yeah, we always always find the common ground. We do have a lot of common ground here. We have that flag that's behind me that that red that red, white, and blue. And I hope that every one of us that we bleed red, white, and blue because that's our nation. And I am proud to be

part of this nation. I'm proud to serve on this board. I'm proud to serve this community and I don't know why there needs to be so much division where we have so much to be grateful for and so much that unites us. And you guys, you know, I'm just hoping that that we could find a way to come

together and do that. We don't have to agree on everything and that's fine. But, you know, we don't need to. We're we're not the enemy. You guys out here, the the community here, us up here, you guys out there. I don't see anybody out there. No matter what you could say about me, it's not going to offend me.

You You're voicing your opinion and I respect that and I I would fight hard to defend it. But we got to do better. I mean, and I'll start with me. My goodness, if I've offended any of you out there, it wasn't intentional and and I ask you for forgiveness. But I'll tell you what, we got to start somewhere. We got to find a

way to come together and do what's right. I mean, I'm kind of like I'm blown away right now. And I hope that everybody can reflect a little bit and figure out what you want to do because this is the thing. You represent your name, your household, your community. Kids are watching and I think that needs to matter. You need to think about I

need to think about we need to think about what we're and how we're representing each other and ourselves. And uh I don't know. Let's uh please let's try a little bit. We need to come together. This is 250 years of our nation and I love this country and I will fight hard to defend it. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cvantes. Mr. Cruz. Wait,

pressed it again. You >> go ahead. >> Yeah, I was going to say this during my comments, so I'll just say it right now. you know the things that you you've you you stated President Shaw you know this is a national tour hosted by the US Department of Education. It is an education program focused on our founding documents that the history of

the American Revolution facts that are central to any civic curriculum. It is remarkable but that this group is calling for the district to cancel an event hosted by the US Department of Education. By doing so, they are advocating for the censorship of the federal educational program. Our board policy is clear. While we value diverse viewpoints, teachers must

remain neutral. They cannot use their position to push personal politic biases or undermine district programs. Professionally means allowing students to see the facts and form their own conclusion. Encouraging absism or judge judging an educational event before it even begins. is not critical thinking. It's a disservice to our students. Teaching children to judge before seeing the facts is educational malpractice.

This district will not be intimidated by rumors, political framing, and coordinating attacks by using misinformation. We're proud to host an event that celebrates our country's 250 year anniversary, and remain committed in providing our students with a balanced, fact-based education that honors our nation's history. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cruz. Okay. Any other? Looks like we're moving on. Thank you.

Seeing that there's none, we're now on to board comments. Mr. Smith. >> Well, first off, I'd like to recognize that um Amanda Swagger and how much we we miss her. some things that I would always come out before the board meeting um have a discussion with Amanda and then after the board meeting we'd have a discussion again. Um there was a

really good cool program she was working on to detect when students were using AI. I thought that was really clever. Um, I was actually going to talk to her in this meeting about that because the uh students using AI to to cheat and do their homework was is a pretty hot topic right now. So, we have to figure

something out about that. So, um, something also about Amanda is that she never broke the rules of logic and reason. You would never see her casting an ad hominin or a straw man argument, any of these logical fallacies that we see committed frequently here. Um, Amanda stuck to the rules of logic and it was refreshing. We could all use more

Amanda Swagger in our life for sure. She'll be missed. Um, the band, Woodrest band was fantastic. Um, glad to have them here. There was a lot of band events last week. I don't know uh if anyone is able to attend. We had basically every high school and their feeder school put on a a a band event to

show all of the different talent. Our high school bands are phenomenal. Very talented. Really at that level, they could be put in a professional scenario and you wouldn't even notice that this is a high school band. This is how good our district is and how good our students and our staff is. um within our music. Interesting. And we

have the world champion percussion team, Hyella. Third place world is Chino Hills. So um congratulations to those teams. Phoenix, you're going to be missed. Did an awesome job. It was teacher appreciation week. Um so wanted to be give a big shout out to all the fantastic teachers and I know there are some bad ones. We had a a a really good

example of a bad teacher there. Um, which was unfortunate and I hope maybe that was just a moment, right? Uh, I I sincerely hope that that wasn't a reflection upon uh that teacher's bias and stuff. It was interesting that the teacher said you should look at history without necessarily looking at it good and bad, but then almost oxymoronically

was saying that these things were bad, right? Uh, so it was it was kind of interesting moment there. So yeah, the anyway, very thankful to all the awesome staff and all the awesome teachers that we do have in our district. There are a tremendous amount of them. So we appreciate that. We appreciate the the community for all the great students. We

appreciate the students and the staff. So um thanks so much. And um Dr. Info, we're going to look at that fence at Magnolia, right? the the fence at Mag Magnolia. >> Yes, we'll we're taking a look at that. >> Okay. Yeah, that was kind of a All right. Um happy 250th anniversary the United States. Um proud to be an American. Proud to be in this

country. This is a great fantastic country. A lot of great accomplishments. Everybody wants to come here for some odd reason, right? So, uh again, thanks everyone. um really appreciate our fantastic community. >> Thank you, Mr. Smith and Mr. N. >> Thanks, son. >> Um yeah, last few days, um I wasn't having a a good sleep because uh

I heard the news about our teacher Amanda Swagger and from Chino High School but also a teacher from adult school, Mr. Steve Thompson. um yeah this week and really broke my heart. Amanda is still a young person and he had so much of uh gratitude and love that he could share with not only students but other pure teachers and friends.

But he was called home to go. And Mr. Steve Thompson. He has spent many many years at ODO school and he really enjoyed our adult population uh especially passing a citizenship classes and becoming a true Americans. He would always had American flags with him with his wife to to represent what this country meant for newcomers. I had always talked to him about my

favorite President Ronald Reagan and movie actor John Wayne. and he has shared his hope in all of his students that they would be very successful Americans as they passed their citizenship classes. So I'd like to ask this meeting to in memory of Amanda Swagger and also teacher Steve Thompson. Thank you. >> Thank you Mr. N Mr. Cruz.

>> Thank you Mr. Cervantes. >> Yeah. Thank you everybody again uh for being here and again appreciate your comments whether we agree or disagree always appreciate it and I just want to start my comments out by just remembering Amanda Swagger met Amanda way back when at Chino High. I mean, Officer Rosales was there at the time and uh this was like 2008 or nine,

something like that when um Amanda started there in uh an outstanding teacher, huge uh loss for our community, but not only a teacher, but a person. I always enjoyed my conversations with Amanda throughout the years and always appreciated when Amanda came up to speak. comments were always outstanding, articulate, to the point, full of common sense. How we

always how they could improve with solutions, never negative in nature, always with the solution. Even if it was a critique is it always had merit. Even if uh it was something maybe we didn't we agree with at the time, there was never a point where there wasn't merit behind it. And uh so this is a huge loss

and uh you know I just uh I don't know how it would replace a teacher like like Amanda Swagger, but we're going to have to do our best to try, but Amanda will never be missed. I want to recognize again just the outstanding uh commitment that our students made to join the military. coming from a family of military service

and a law enforcement service. Much appreciated knowing that all those who served and I see at least one of them in the room here, one of our uh our finest of Chino Hills for those that uh went on the front lines and those that are willing to do so. Again, you know, uh we appreciate you and we thank you.

We're our freedoms. They uh they they they they exist because of you and they're defended because of you and we can never say enough about that. Mr. Smith touched on the band showcases. It was awesome. A lot of us got to go together. The feeder schools, what an outstanding job. Those uh those performances, the intellect those kids

have. You could just see uh the amazing talent that they have. It's it's can't say enough about them. Um let's close by uh just remembering we have a lot of things to celebrate right now. Even in the hard times, even in the disagreements, let's just come together and think about what unites us here in this district. Do

not get clouded by the negative because here at this district up all of us up here, no matter what, we're not going to ever settle for second best or mediocrity or the noise. We're always going to push forward pursuing perfection and catching excellence and doing what's right for our students. our parents always pursuing the basics, reading, writing, math, the trades, and

how we could prepare our kids for college and career readiness. The other stuff, the ideology does not matter. It's not going to We'll tolerate it. We'll put up with it. We'll hear it, but it's not going to affect the decisions we make because that is not what's best for our kids. Academics is, and that's what we're going to pursue. So, thank

you. Thank you, Mr. Cervantes. Dr. Enfield >> Phoenix, I want to again thank you for your service on the board. You do an excellent job of representing the the students in the district. Uh, a model student and and we have so many across our district and you did a great job of representing our district and so thank

you. U and I wish you the best in graduation coming here and I know we'll we will see you on the stage >> in what a couple weeks. Again, thank you. Also, I want to uh thank the teachers in our district and the uh all the certificated staff. Uh they do a phenomenal job day in and day out. It's

not an easy job uh to be a teacher. Uh and I appreciate the work that they do for our students and u again thank you for everything that you do. For our classified staff, again, I want to thank all of our classified staff for all the work that they do for our classified appreciation week. They're the ones

behind the scenes that make everything happen in our district and they do a phenomenal job. And again, I want to thank the classified for everything that they do. And and with the work of all of those groups in a couple of weeks, we get to celebrate the graduation of our seniors in our district. And so, I want

to wish our seniors across the the district. I want to congratulate them on on making it happen and finishing the finish line and and hope you had a great time in our district and that you remember all the the fun that you had going through uh Chino Valley Unified School District. And with that, I'll close my remarks.

>> Awesome. Thank you, Dr. Enfield. I've given a lot of my remarks earlier, so I'll try to make them short. Phoenix, I'm fighting over gets who gets to hand you your diploma. you better make sure you come to my side of the podium or I'm going to run over and make sure I get that honor. Um, it's been an honor to

serve up here with you. You are a exceptional young man and I just pray to God that you know your path has continued to be blessed and thank you for being an example and I'm excited to see what happens in your future. Don't forget about us old folk up here. Um, always reach out and check up on us. But

then again, thank you for um, leaving a handprint on our hearts. We truly appreciate everything that you have done. So, thank you. Um, also to our certificated staff, I'm echoing off a lot of what he said in our teachers and classified staff. Thank you. I know that there's a lot of parents that truly tried to make it special for you this

week. I hope that you feel that. Um, and just know this board um is trying to make sure that the trust is built between you, the great teachers, and the community in which complete division has trying to been tearing us apart. Just know that we have your backs. You've seen it in the negotiations. um sessions when our great staff go in and and you

know they are given the direction from the board of what can be given. We're trying to give everything we can within our means to ensure that you have the resources and know that we have your backs as well. So thank you for being um a voice of reason and building that trust back alongside us while there's bad actors that are trying to break that

apart. We appreciate you guys. Our security we love you. We know that sometimes you're put into difficult positions and we just um are grateful that you handle it with such grace and smiles and I hope you get a cheeseburger and French fries after this one day. Uh before I leave, I'll make sure I treat you to some that or maybe Oscars' tacos.

Um America's birthday. I am still so honored that we get to celebrate it. I don't again this is not a political thing. It should be nothing bad. It should be exciting. Um and again, our district has has shined throughout districts all across California and um you know, we got chosen to celebrate it and tomorrow we're going to be excited

to celebrate it alongside our kids. Um I pray the protection over our kids and our schools as you know, people with ill intent continue to try to cause division. um and graduations. I mean, how exciting is it that we get to see these young um stu, you know, young adults, I guess some of them are 18, going out and doing amazing things and

representing Chino Valley. So, um we're excited to be there with you. Those two days are long, but oh my gosh, there's so much fun to see just the excitement of the families. Um and it's just a blessing to be able to be part of that. Um, before I get to one of my favorites, um, I do want to say in regards to our

daughters in their sports and and locker rooms, I have heard recently that some of our daughters had to unfortunately race against boys. And this morning, our governor put out something calling all of us that are defending our daughter's dignity, our daughter's opportunities, our daughter's privacy as right-winged. How is that rightwinged? Why is the name calling? We were recently referred to as

Nazis by an assembly member for just wanting to protect our daughters. I mean, that is a very egregious word. And I'm just so mind blown. And while, you know, we're trying to do everything we can to protect our daughters, I still think leadership needs to be changed. Newsome is a spineless bully. He calls parents names for wanting to

protect their kids. He sued us for wanting constitutional rights protected here in our district. I I I mean I'm sorry you you I know but you're disrupting a meeting and this is my personal time. That is your warning. I hate to give you a warning but you can't be disrupting a meeting. Imagine if a kid disrupted your

classroom. I I'm talking. So, yeah. I mean, here we go with, you know, him taking away and and signing into law things that take away our girls dignity, our girls safety, having men free from their locker rooms and showers. I mean, that's what we're fighting for is so it doesn't happen. And he's putting the allowance of having

these things happen. It's it's gross. It should never happen. boys and girls should not be going into each other's locker rooms. And I'm so glad that we're part of a district that doesn't allow all this craziness to go on and we continue to fight the good fight. And that brings me to my friend Amanda. You talked about common sense.

You talked about having um respect. Amanda was always standing up and having great conversations even behind the scenes, emailing us, you know, trying to bring us to get all together. And we lost someone great. Um, but I I am grateful to know that Amanda is in heaven. Um, you know, Amanda was part of the Christian club bringing kids to

Christ. And how beautiful is that to know that one day we get to see Amanda again. I think that is a great thing to be celebrated. And I am honored that we get to close this meeting in honor and memory of Amanda. And also, I just found out unfortunately from Mr. Naw about our other teacher, Steve Thompson. Um this

is a great loss to our community, to Chino um high school. We give you our condolences and also to Amanda's and Steve's family. Um Amanda too, I anything that we can offer for support. If there's a memorial, please reach out to us. We would love to come and honor Amanda in that sense. So I'm going to ask for just one moment of silence in

both of their names and memory. And I now adjourn the regular meeting of board of education in Amanda's and Steve Thompson's memory at 9:20
