We have come to a very special part of this evening's meeting as we celebrate the outstanding work taking place across our district and recognize the school communities whose dedication continues to make a difference for our students. Tonight we are very proud to introduce

our diamond awards recognizing schools for their outstanding commitment to creating positive supportive learning environments where students can thrive at Chino Valley Unified School District. Our Chino Valley tiered systems of support or CBTSS reflects our district's commitment to maintaining high standards for student support and school culture through consistent expectations, positive relationships, and a focus on meeting the needs of all students. CBTSS

provides a district-wide approach to creating school environments that support student success. Our diamond awards recognize school sites that have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to these standards and to the intentional work that takes place each day to build strong, supportive school communities. Much like a diamond, a strong school community is shaped by many facets working together. The dedication of our administrators,

teachers, classified staff, students, and families all contribute to creating school environments where students feel welcomed, encouraged, supported, and where they have the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. Receiving a diamond award reflects the collective efforts of an entire school community and its continued commitment to the princ principles of CVTSS and to providing students with a positive and supportive educational

experience. Dr. go miss. I would like to invite if you would like to say a couple of words. >> Thank you, Dr. Gomez. Sorry about the mic situation. We're getting it fixed. Um, we congratulate each of our Diamond Award recipients and thank our school communities for their continued dedication to our students. At this time, as each school is announced, I

would like to invite the principal and school team to come forward and accept their diamond award and remain for a voting. >> Congratulations. >> Thank you. Um board, if you would like to come and Dr. Enfield and that way we can congratulate them together and take one big happy picture. >> Yes. So they'll come and congratulate you and then we'll have you.

>> We're all gonna fit here by the way, just so you know. And now we have Butterfeld Ranch Elementary. And now we have Country Springs >> where I went to kinder. Doris Dixon Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. We got some, you know, friendly fighting over here. Chino Valley Learning Academy. >> Last, but certainly not least, let's go

Ayella Bulldogs. We're gonna take a big picture, but while we we're at it, let's just give him a round of applause. Okay, it was wonderful to see this level of commitment represented across our district. We just want to congratulate again to all of our diamond award recipients and thank you for to the incredible school teams whose dedication

and collective efforts make a meaningful difference for our students each and every day. Please join me again in giving them all a round of applause. And next we have a presentation from Mr. Luke Hackne regarding full day transitional kindergarten and kind and kindergarten. Mr. Hackne, the floor is all yours. >> Good evening, President Shaw, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield,

Cabinet, and Community. Our report to the board this evening is on the implementation of full day transitional kindergarten and kindergarten beginning in the 2027 2028 school year. Tonight we will share with you specifically what is changing, why, what has already been completed, and future plans to implement full day transitional kindergarten and kindergarten next year. Beginning next year, the district's plan

is for transitional kindergarten or known as TK and kindergarten students to attend a full school day aligned with the instructional day for students in grades 1 through three. You can see that currently TK and kindergarten students attend for 3 hours and 20 minutes daily, which is about half of what students attend when they enter first grade with

the exception of weekly minimum days where students are released early for the purpose of teacher collaboration. Moving from a three-hour day to a full day in first grade can be a shock for many children, and next year's model will serve as a natural bridge both academically and socially. The full day will have many benefits for our students. The additional time gives

teachers greater flexibility to pace lessons appropriately, students more time to learn, and teachers the time to incorporate more small groupoup opportunities to respond to individual student needs. And it provides more time for teachers to know their students, establish consistent routines, and help children develop confidence and independence as learners as they move up in the grade levels. Our English

learners will also have the benefit of more opportunities to acquire the English language at an early age to close gaps before they widen. There has been interest in full day TK and kindergarten from our families over a number of years. As we looked at our facilities and enrollment trends, we have reached a point where we can make

that opportunity available in our district. Our goal is to create a strong foundation at the very beginning of a student's experience in Chino Valley Unified. Providing a consistent full-day experience gives students additional time to develop the academic, social, and classroom skills that will support them as they move into first grade and beyond. The district has been deliberate and

sightspecific in its preparation. It was important to review each school individually because every school has different configurations, enrollment patterns, programs, and facility needs. As a result, we met with each school principal to review these items. The process has given us a clear picture of what will be needed at each site and allows us to move into detailed

implementation planning. With the initial planning and facility review completed, our next phase of work is focused on ensuring that we are fully prepared for implementation next year. Through the planning process, we now have a strong understanding of how a full day TK and kindergarten can be accommodated across our schools. With that foundation in place, the district is finalizing the details at each site

so classrooms and surrounding spaces are ready for our youngest learners. At the same time, we will work we will work through all staffing needs as enrollment projections become clearer. Beyond facilities and staffing, we're also focused on what the school day will actually look like for students. A full day for a four or 5-year-old will not look identical to a first grade

schedule. With that in mind, we will work with our instructional teams to ensure the additional time is used intentionally and includes an appropriate balance of instruction, movement, and social development. To support that experience, we will also make sure classrooms have the resources necessary for a full-day learning environment. And finally, communication will be an important part of this

transition. Because this is a significant change for our families and staff, we want to provide information early and ensure everyone understands what to expect as we move forward toward implementation. And this concludes the report to the board on the implementation of full day transitional kindergarten and kindergarten. >> Thank you very very much. Um board, you have any comments, questions? Mr.

Cervantes, your mic is on. >> Thank you, Mr. Hackne. This is this is very exciting to see uh something that has really been in the works for so long and to be able to uh be sitting up here to just be part of this taking place. So exciting. I know parents are very excited. What an advantage our young

students are going to have to be able to start at such a young age to get in there with the rigor that it takes to increase your scores in mathematics, English, writing, reading. Those are going to explode. I can only imagine what it's going to look like when those students are like in third and fourth grade. So, can't wait to see what those

numbers look like. So, I just want to thank you, the entire team for all the hard work, dedication, the planning that it took, all the school sites that you had to go visit to make sure that aesthetically and for logistics worked out. And so, I just want to say thank you and congratulations. >> Thank you, Mr. Hackne. And thank you,

Dr. Enfield. I know that this has been your pet project for quite some time now. So, I know that you've been working on it and you're this something that you're proud of and you should be. So, thank you for your hard work. A lot of people don't realize what's going on in the background um and all the different

cogs that need to be turned, but uh you put a lot of effort into this. So, thank you for all your hard work. Uh Mr. What kind of as far as the uh how many campuses are we looking to are we going to scale this out? How's the scope of this this project going to look? What's it going to look like?

>> After meeting with every school site, our team met with every school site. Uh we are able to move forward at all of our elementary schools and K8s next year. >> Fantastic. Awesome. Thanks again for all your hard work. Yeah, I want to ditto. Thank you, Dr. Enfield, for having this vision. I know, you know, many years ago as a mother of

a kinder um two kinder students that went through our district, I was always like, well, if they had them full-time, they can only do so much more. So, it's kind of exciting to see that now play. Um and, you know, Channel Valley being able to intervene even earlier. I think we're going to probably see more students come back to our district even

earlier because we seeing, you know, um people coming back in the first grade because a lot of people will take other avenues because we don't offer the full-time kinder. Um so I'm very excited that the community will now benefit from this, but more importantly, our students will benefit. So, thank you for putting the hard work. Thank you for making it,

you know, equal across the board and offering it at every school so we don't have, you know, parents wanting to transfer into one school, not being able to get in. how every school in their area will have the same opportunities. So, thank you for making it such a great um vision, but also carrying it out. We appreciate the hard work that's gone

into it and all of you guys too at the cabinet level because I know that you guys have input with going from, you know, our facilities all the way down. Everybody has input to make sure that this works the right way. So, thank you for just really really pushing it and making sure that we have everything for

this next coming school year. It's really exciting for Chino. >> Do we have anybody else? Okay, awesome. Thank you. We are now on uh for comments from our student representative, William. >> Good evening, President Sha, members of the board, Superintendent Enfield, and distinguished guests. Don Mugu created their first sleep club hype video since 2019, and we'll be launching it this

next week on their socials. Mount Spirit Week, the rival football game against Chino is this week. Their homecoming game is October 2nd with a dance at El Prao on October 3rd. The theme is tangled up in Hokco. The students in general have been loving the upgrades to their gym, cool deck, and murals. At Chino High School, they had a successful

first month back at school with their first rally, Subway Surfers in the Hills, honoring their fall sports, league champions, and new teachers and staff. Their club rush was a huge success with over 100 active clubs on campus hosting booths at lunch to advocate for their cause and increase their membership. They hosted their first home football game with a huge

crowd packing the stands for the USA theme night in which they honored our veterans and first responders. They are currently preparing for their rivalry game, Battle of the Bone, that will be hosted on September 25th at Husky Stadium. They look forward to a great game. Iola High School has had a fun and exciting first six weeks with many

highlights. They had a great club rush where over 50 clubs came out to showcase what they do and encourage students to join their club. Their student rewards program is in full swing. They celebrated their fall athletes and academic successes at their team be trally. There was a wonderful homecoming pregame parade and a halftime show where their class officers showed off their

floats. They recognized teacher of the year and golden paw recipients. Iola dance production performed and homecoming courts were announced. Students had a great time at the homecoming dance. They were able to play video games, get a caricature done of themselves, sing karaoke, take photos in the photo booth, snack, and of course dance. The girls golf team is currently

ranked top 10 in the nation. They just finished their national invite only tournament in Arizona for the top high school golf programs in the nation. One of their golfers, Bier Song, had a top 10 finish and the team finished in sixth place. They are so proud of their Ayala students and look forward to seeing what else this year brings.

Last, Kino High School had their class competition rally to represent falls. Students had fun playing games, listening to performances, and honoring our fall sport athletes. Club races held and over 90 plus clubs came out to recruit students. Our rival game against Alugo is this Saturday. Leading up to the game, there are lunchtime games and a spirit week in order to get students

excited for the game. We also held our back to school night in which parents were able to meet their students teachers. Our homecoming theme was announced titled A Tale as Old as Time. Finally, we held our first blood drive food with liveream where 90 donors donated blood allowing us to save over 270 lives. Thank you so much.

Awesome. Thank you. Thank you for the great updates. Um the great updates. Next are the comments from our employee representatives. Uh we have Dr. Rener from ACT. field and district leadership. Uh I want to say uh the year is well underway and I want to take a moment to recognize the work that the association and the district has done so far in

collaborating together on our PLC leadership um and other in uh important instructional initiatives. Our collaboration is so important because some of our strongest work happens when our teachers and other staff are not simply informed about changes and district initiatives but are involved in that process. Our educators bring an important perspective to the work that they do and they understand our students

the realities of our school day and the practical cons considerations that make a difference between an initiative on paper and what it ends up looking like in our classrooms. As we now begin toward the implementation for our full day TK and kindergarten, uh I hope we continue that same collaborative approach. This is a significant change for our youngest students, our families,

and especially the educators that work with them every day. There are important questions about what curriculum might look like, scheduling, staffing, facilities, prep time, student needs, and what school will look like for four and 5-year-olds. Our TK and kindergarten teachers have tremendous knowledge and expertise in this area and their voices and perspectives are going to be very

important and should be at the heart of the conversations as we make this transition together. We want to work alongside the district in a collaborative way to um support both our students and our educators. So, finally, I want to give a special shout out to our TK and kindergarten teachers. As an elementary school teacher myself, they are breed unto themselves. Um, they are

a special group of people and anybody who spent time in in a kindergarten classroom just knows how much patience, energy, creativity, and flexibility that this work requires. They help our youngest students uh not learn just how to read and write, but how to be a student in the first place. So, as we move on to this next chapter together, I

hope that we continue to listen to each other and make sure that we have our support for our TK and kindergarten teachers. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Good evening, board president Shaw, board members, Superintendent Infield, uh cabinet, staff, and community. Um to echo uh ACT, um CSEA looks forward to collaborating with the district on the

implementation of the all day uh transitional kindergarten and kindergarteners. um the effects that it'll have on classified staff currently in the classrooms than the front clubs and in transportation. Um but we do eagerly want to support that outcome for the instruction of our students. Um just a few comments today. I wanted to share an email that I received a few days ago

from a classified staff member. She recently welcomed her first grandchild and was planning on taking a few days off to visit um the new arrival and to her family. But before leaving for a few days, she was more concerned about who and how her students were going to be cared for. She's a health tech at one of

our elementary schools with a few students have to that have specific needs, medical needs. These are staff members that you have working for you. It's not just the classified staff, it's the teaching staff and the administrators. they all are or we all care deeply about the students we care for or she would say who's going to care for my students.

Transportation has also wanted to extend an invitation to all the board members to ride along on our Carbon Canyon route. Mr. Cruz, you have done the Carbon Canyon route a few times, but she wanted to extend the invitation to all the board members. Those of you that are not familiar with the Carbon Canyon route, the big long buses

go up and do the S turns, do a turnaround. Um, she would like you to experience that. Um, any day except for October 16th. She specifically is taking that day off, but if you would like to, please let me know and we will arrange it. Um, I did want to share that I did speak to uh the

director, Matt McCain, just to let him know what I was intending to do today. Um, and lastly, I wanted to share that I I very much appreciated that I know Dr. Enfield and um, Andy didn't expect so many people to come up today to accept this award, but there were not just administrators there. There were not just teaching staff there. There was

classified. There were actually some new ground supervisors there. So, I just wanted to extend that appreciation that we had everybody up there and it truly does take all of us to represent the school. So, thank you very much. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. And now we have uh Dr. Annette Hatch. >> Thank you. Good evening, President Sha,

members of the board, Superintendent Enfield, cabinet, and community. On behalf of CHAMP, we would like to express our appreciation for all the hard work that our staff and faculty for all of our school sites that have continued to dedicate their service to creating a positive climate throughout the district that we saw tonight with the diamond awards. In the next couple

of weeks, elementary schools will be hosting the parent teacher conferences. This is really excellent opportunity to help build those relationships between the schools and the community and we want to encourage all of the parents to attend. And then finally, last night, CHAMP hosted a networking event and we would like to express our appreciation for those members who were able to join us

and just to invite all members to uh continue to attend our monthly meetings. Thank you very much. >> Awesome. Thank you. And thank you to all of our representatives for all your comments and we look forward to seeing you next meeting. And now we're on to our public comments. Reagan, how many requests to speak? >> There are eight.

The recording secretary, Michelle Sandal on an action item 2C2. >> Good evening.

Good evening. My name is Michelle Sandaval and for 28 years I've had the privilege of teaching kindergarten. And after 28 years I can honestly say I've done it all. I have watched programs come and go. I have watched students uh standards change, curriculum become more rigorous, and expectations for our youngest learners continue to increase. But through all those changes, one thing

has remained the same. 5-year-olds are still 5-year-olds. And kindergarten is so much more than learning letters, numbers, shapes, and sounds. It is where children begin to discover who they are as learners, classmates, and little people in a much bigger world. This is why all day kindergarten is so important. In kindergarten, we are building the foundation for everything

that comes next. We are teaching children how to read, write, count, problem solve, communicate, make friends, manage their emotions, become independent, and believe in themselves. That is a lot of work to fit into a very short day. Today's kindergarten curriculum is demanding. We teach phmic awareness, phonics, reading, writing, number sense, addition, and subtraction, science, social studies, and so much more. The

curriculum is there. The expectations are there, but in a shortened kindergarten day, the time simply isn't. And I see that every day. There are moments when a child is just beginning to understand something when you can almost see that little light bulb turn on and then suddenly we have to stop because it's time to pack up and go

home. All day kindergarten would give us something incredibly valuable. Time. Time to teach without rushing. Time for small groups and intervention. Time to challenge the child who is ready for more and sit beside the child who needs a little extra help. And just as importantly, time for purposeful play, art, science, movement, conversations, friendship, and exploration. And time to

simply be five years old because our children should not have to choose between having time to learn and having time to be children. And after 28 years in kindergarten, I know how important this first year is. I've lived it. I've watched it. I've seen the difference a strong beginning can make. All day kindergarten isn't simply about adding

more school hours to the school day. It's about giving our youngest learners the time they deserve to learn, grow, discover who they are, and believe in who they can become. Because when we invest in our kindergarten, we and our TK, we are investing in everything that comes after it. Thank you for this gift of time. >> Andrew Lee on a non-aggenda item.

>> Uh good evening uh President Shaw, Dr. Enfield, board and staff and everybody's in attendance. Um my name is Andrew with the Chino Valley Fire District. I'm the liazison and I'm gonna just take some time here one to let you guys know and then let any of the public listening is that this uh next Saturday, not coming

up but October 3rd is our open house just around the corner here at on Schaefer. Um it's an opportunity from for all ages. We're going to have Sparky, our dog. He'll read to you read to your kids if you want to. But we also a lot of people don't know we have a an explorer program. So that'd be a a

chance for any of the older students who are interested in becoming uh in in this public safety field um you know show up our open house uh ask your questions, meet the people, meet the other kids that are already doing it. And so just wanted to extend that. And uh second uh just to let everybody know both both the

staff here and the public is uh October 1st all of uh ambulance services are going to be changing over to Confire. So for the last I don't know 15 20 years we've had AMR uh AMR is no longer the contract provider. It's going to now be Confire, which is a collaboration between fire, all the fire departments and county and

a priority ambulance. So, you're going to be see new ambulances around. If you call them, if they come to your schools, it's not somebody off the wall. It's that it's the new thing. And um uh the main benefit for all of it is all those ambulances are going to have the same radio system. They're going to be able

to talk to our police, going to be able to talk to our dispatch, and be able to talk to our fire engines. So we have a lot better cohesiveness. And then finally, I just want to say congratulations. What a as a as a citizen of this community, what a night of achievement and pride to see all those awards given. So really

warms my heart to see that many different campuses get an award. So I want to say congratulations everybody and thank you. Yeubanks non-aggenda item. Good evening everybody. My name is Eubanks and I'm currently a teacher over at Yellow High School and I have been since 2003. I can tell you so many stories about um my students, but I want

to share a few with you. First of all, um about 10 years ago, I have been teaching over here for about five to six years. I had a a student, somebody call me and said, "In the nurse's office, there's a student. They don't know who he is, but he insists that he's my student, so they want to know who it

is." I went over there. It was a student that had graduated 5 to 6 years ago. He's an SH student. He walked all the way from Los Reynolds from his house to the school to look for me because he missed me. That was great. But how dangerous is that? Then there's my brother who's also special needs. One time he got off the

bus and he was very upset. Walked off, couldn't find him for three or four hours. Cops finally brought him home and he was found in Ontario. How dangerous is that? Then another time, my mom and I and the whole family, we had business to take care of out of town. So, we were going to be gone only for a few hours. So, we

told him, "Just wait until we get home. We'll feed you." What does he do? He was very, very sneaky. So, he went to get all the recycles where he knows where everything is. He went to turning recycles for money, took the money to a buffet to eat by himself. And then the last story I want to share

with you is another student. We had went to a train station, Claremont train station and I was walking along and just the rest of them out behind me with my aids and as we were walking along I start hearing shouting. I was introducing everything and all that. Wasn't paying attention. I heard shouting turn around. One of my student

is on the track. He's never been on trains station before. Thought that it would be funny and just went down there and just start dancing around. We called site people who were around. Everybody tried to call to get him to come up. He was still dancing. Thought he was funny. I had to get down myself. Thank God the train were late that day

cuz it was time for the train to come. And so I got him up. Good thing he didn't fight me. Got him up. Everything was good. To be honest, I I was hoping that he would come back so we can take another trip over there to show him it's dangerous to do that. But these are the programs that we're offering our

students to teach them safety out in the community. >> Lisa G on a non-aggenda item. >> I find it interesting that Miss Shaw and Mr. Smith are campaigning on a track record of improving to academics when the facts show something very different. Here are just some of the programs our students apparently have lost this year. The American Sign Language Program at

IELa lost its introductory class. Now that the teacher who helped build the program was bullied into leaving by this board for political reasons and replaced by a high school secretary with an intern credential and no ASL teaching experience. The successful Japanese language program at Chino Hills High is being phased out with Japanese 1 no longer offered. French is no longer

offered at IEL and Don Lugo. At a time when students need more opportunities to prepare for a global economy, we should be expanding world languages, not cutting them. Illa has 25 new teachers this year because so many left or were were let go last year along with controversy surrounding the dismissal of coaches across multiple sports programs. That raises serious questions about

leadership and stability. also gone the workbased learning and internship programs that are the real life learning components of the CTEMMIES. The work-based learning coordinator position and the capstone internship programs were cut because apparently Miss Shaw did not want students mentored by industry professionals because she couldn't control the type of influence they would have on students. Again, this

is how extremist paranoia and fear-mongering get in the way of innovative programs that can help our students succeed. Speaking of which, at a recent meeting uh of this board, an IELa student proposed an intern partnership with the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, which used to have a highly successful partnership with the district. But because it was created by

Miss Shaw's predecessor, she decided to cut it out of spite to the detriment of students who'd benefit from mentorship opportunities. What a petty way to seek revenge on your former opponent without a single thought to students. Also gone, the ceramics program at Chino Hills High. Also gone is the class girls empowerment program, parenting workshops, anti-bullying program, and

the family life curriculum. Apparently, we are also eliminating participation in the PBIS program despite tonight's ceremony, probably because every one of our schools was downgraded this year. I have a simple question. Why haven't these significant cuts to student programs been brought before this board in an open meeting for public discussion? You say you support public education and value transparency, but

when programs disappear without meaningful public discussion, families deserve to know why. Perhaps these cuts are the consequence of spending millions on reckless lawsuits over culture wars instead of investing those resources where they belong with our students. Thank you, >> Christie H. on our point of information, we definitely have internships. Just so the public knows so we can correct the

record. We don't get rid of internships. >> Christy H. on a non-aggenda item. >> This board and particularly Sonia Shaw either do not understand or flat out do not care about what powers you actually have as a schoolboard member and which powers you do not. As a schoolboard member, you all took an oath to the Constitution of the State of California

to follow laws and to follow ED code. It is not within your power to break laws. And therefore, when you do this, there are consequences. Laws without consequences are suggestions or recommendations. That is how the legal system works. If you get a speeding ticket, would you would it be the police officer's fault that you have to pay

money or go to court? Of course not. It is the fault of the party breaking the law. That is how the law works. You all have wasted millions of our tax dollars because you break laws. You violate contracts and fair labor practices and you get sued again because that is how the legal system works. You lose over

and over and over and you won't drop it. Meanwhile, more and more of this community's money is wasted. That is not your money. It's ours. I wonder how you would behave if you had to pay for all of it yourself. Sonia, I've heard you say countless times, "I don't care. Sue me. Sue me. Sue me. I'm sure you don't

care because it's not your money. I wonder how you would act if it was your money." And you were the one being sued and having to pay those fees. You lost again in court this week. Do you realize that you seem to be confused as you posted within the time span of a few hours conflicting post either we're

disappointed or we won. You in fact additionally are already talking about not listening to what the courts ordered this week which will mean more legal fees. We have spent millions of dollars on legal fees every year you have been on the board over a million every year. You will turn around and say those fees are not for your culture war cases.

However, when community members seek to obtain information from the district many times for many years we are denied. Why? If you have nothing to hide, why not share the exact fees? Over $4 million on legal fees. Even if only half of that was wasted, it is $2 million, even a million dollars. Think of what we could do with that amount of money.

There is a literacy crisis. We could invest in addressing this. All the programs Lisa mentioned, we could bring some of those back. But you will not drop and you will not let these cases go. You will appeal it over and over and over even though you've been losing for three years. This is not partisan. This isn't about how you feel about the issue

or how I feel about the issue. It's the fact that we need these dollars in our classrooms and that it is not within your power to take the actions you are taking. We should be having all of that money in our classrooms, not spent on your own personal agendas. >> Jim Carer on action item 2A1. >> Thank you. Um Dr. Grenfield board,

staff, and fellow residents. Uh, I come here tonight to speak on item 21, which is you're asking to reinstate the SAT and the ACT to the University of California. I'm going to strongly encourage a no vote on that. And if not a no vote, at least I'd like to hear some dialogue about it. And the reason is that these uh standardized testing

are often considered ineffective or unfair because they measure test taking skills and socioeconomic privilege rather than a student's true intelligence or potential. Uh they have income bias. They uh a lot of times families will hire expensive private tutors and test prep courses that give wealthy students a major advantage. Uh that makes the scores heavily dependent on family income. Uh there's test prep

sus susceptibility excuse me I can't even pronounce that but u a lot of times the students are coached as you know Dr. Enfield to test properly and to learn the the cues and the clues on how to test which uh is a trick and it doesn't really show uh real deep knowledge. Uh also there's a lot of test anxiety and

pressure. Those of you that have done SATs and ACTs when you were younger remember that pressure. And a lot of times we don't test as effectively and it doesn't really show our true knowledge. It's a weak predictor of success. Uh high school grades, class rank, and the rigor of classes we think often take a better job of predicting actual

college success. Kind of like what we're seeing here. U there's optional policies that you could consider. uh a policy where colleges do not require any entrance exam scores for admission like where schools evaluate using your high school GPA for example the course rigor that you take application essays and extracurricular activities those are more valid I think indicators of of success and ability to

adapt to college uh advanced placement tests as well uh subject specific exams that are taken after completing an AP high school course also help. Now, I know one of the things that you mentioned you're worried about is math and English scores which we feel are not as well, you know, statewide. There's classic learning tests that can be

applied on grammar, reasoning, and smarter balanced assessments where public school annual math and also English tests that are given to 11th graders can help. And some university systems like the University of California actually explore using these curriculum aligned exams as potential alternatives or additions to traditional admissions criteria. So I'd like to at least see a dialogue tonight instead of

just a a standard vote the way we've seen in the past where you all vote together in unison. Let's talk about this. So I think this resolution >> Maria Valdez on a non-aggenda item. >> Hello. Good evening. My name is Maria Valdez. For those of you that don't know me, uh this is my husband standing here with me. We are here as a family and we

have been part of the community for over 30 years. I am both a teacher and we're here um as a community member. Um we're parents here or we have been parents for the CBUSD for um we have four children who have graduated from our district. Um today we just dropped off our youngest at um UCSD. Literally today we drove in

from there. Um but we drove in because we feel very strongly about what I'm going to talk about today. Over the last 20 years, I h we have had to constantly defend why we've sent our kids to Chino High School in our community. I have had thousands of conversations with people who ask why I send my kids to Chino

High. They say, "Can't you send them to the better schools in Chino? You work for the district." People from all walks of life go to Chino. And we love that opportunity that my kids have had. We used to wonder why would people say that? Where do they get that impression? Some schools and CVUSD, why would they say they're better than

others? But over the last six weeks, I realized this narrative is supported by not just the community, but the individuals employed by our school district. those who are meant to serve all students, all extracurriculars that are done through CVUSD. when the district policies are not applied evenly in all schools and favored only some of our schools. We

had a a a we had a game where two schools in our district played against each other and only one photographer was not allowed on the field to shoot Chino Chino High School. the policies. I understand we have to have policies, but why was the policy not implemented at the same time for all the schools? Why Chino High? Now I'm off of my thing

here. Why Chino High first, then Don Lugo, then goes on to the hills. That night, I know personally one of the photographers got on the list for a yellow that night. That day, he was put on the list. Chino High was told the night before that he couldn't get the papers done. He got the papers done that day, turned him

into the district, but it was too late. So today and in the future, I ask the board to hold themselves and the employees of the school district. Marcus Rayon on a non-aggenda item stretch for me. We're gonna um once you're ready, we'll start the timer for six minutes since >> set it for three and three. >> It's not going to stretch.

>> Okay. He's going to give you three and three, but >> that's wonderful. But will this stretch the microphone so I can sit right here? >> Can we have >> They're coming. >> Thank you. >> I see. >> I was happy to sit on the right. That is perfect actually. Thank you so much. >> Hello, my name is Marcus. I'm a freshman

student at Chino High School and I recently moved from Chino High School from a deaf school to challenge myself. I want to challenge myself academically. However, I don't want moving schools to mean losing access to my ASL education. So, I want to go ahead and explain why having an ASL class at Chino High School is really important to me.

I'm deaf and I moved from a school for the deaf for students for deaf students to Chino High School because I wanted to challenge myself educationally. I also wanted the experience. I would like to note that I'm the only deaf person in my family. I grew up communicating in ASL and ASL is a huge part of who I am.

Coming to a hearing school is a completely new experience for me and I've never experienced the hearing world in the way that I am doing currently. And that's simply because I've been deaf my whole life. So, like I said, I wanted to challenge myself and I didn't want to leave ASL behind. I want to continue learning and using my

language while also being a part of the hearing community at this new school. Now, what I'm saying is that I believe in an I believe not only that the ASL class would help deaf deaf students like me, but it could help hearing students as well. they could learn a new language, communicate with deaf people, and learn more more about deaf culture.

I would love for us to be able to work together to bring an ASL class to Chino High School. Both Ayala and Chino Hills High School have ASL programs. It's only fair that Chino would have one as well. I hope you guys can all understand where I'm coming from and why this opportunity would mean so much to me. I would really

appreciate it if we could work together to find a way to bring an ASL class to Chino Hills High School. Thank you so much. >> That was beautiful. Can you please let them know to make sure they email the board as well so we can respond back to them and Do we have any more speakers? That's it. Okay. Well, thank you to all

of our speakers. Thank you for coming. We're now on to changes and deletions. Reagan, are there any? The following change and deletion are on the agenda. Item 3D2, agreements for contract for consulting services. Page 67 is yellow sheeted and item 3D12, fourth amendment to land use lease agreement and reimbursement agreement for Department of State Architect Inspection Services

with Verizon Wireless is pulled from the agenda. There are no further changes or deletions. Thank you, Reagan. We're now on to action items. The first one is 2A1 resolution 2026 2027-23 urging the University of California to reinstate SAT and ACT score requirements for the undergraduate admissions. Board President Sunni Sha recommends the board of education adopt resolution 2026

2027-23 urging the University of California to reinstate SAT and ACT score requirements for undergraduate admissions. May I have a motion? Thank you, Mr. N. And a second. Thank you, Mr. Smith. And any comments, questions, please use your system. Okay, seeing that there's none, I'll go ahead and start the voting and preferential. >> No. >> Thank you. And the motion passes with

the vote of five to zero. Okay. Now on to item 2B1, 2025 2026 unodudited actuals financial report. Recommend the board of education approve the 2025 2026 unawudited actuals financial report and authorize the superintendent or designate to sign the 2025 2026 district certification of unudited actuals financial report. May I have a motion please? Thank you Mr. Noah and a second. Thank you Mr. Cvantes.

And any comments, questions, please use your board. Seeing that there is none board members, please register your vote. Referential yes. And the motion passes with a vote of five to zero with preferential voting Next item is to B2 resolution 2026 20227-22 commitment of 2025 2026 ending fund balance for technology infrastructure in accordance with government accounting standards board

statement number 54 recommend the board of education adopt resolution 2026 20227-22 committing $2.5 million of the 2025 20226 ending fund balance for technology infrastruure structure in accordance with government accounting standards board statement number 54. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. Naw. And a second. Thank you, Mr. Cruz. Any comments, questions? Seeing that there isn't. Oh, you do. Can

you p press the button? All done. >> Press it one more time and should be live. >> Yes. I strongly support the establishing this dedicated technology infrastructure fund tonight. In the past, our district relied on peacemail disconnected systems across different sites. That fragmentative approach cost more money, isolated our data, and created unnecessary headaches for our staff and

families. We worked hard to bring our district together, and our technology used to reflect that same unified vision. Technology is no longer an add-on. It is the central backbone of our curriculum. our student support systems and our campus operations. Waiting for hardware or networks to fail before replacing them is not a physical physical responsibility. It's expensive triage. Creating this fund gives us

multi-year predictability instead of emergency spending. It protects our operational budget, ensures our platforms integrate seamlessly, and guarantees that every single school site receives the exact same standard of digital reliability and security. This is a smart stewardship that replaces silos with one sustainable cohesive district system. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cruz. And any other comments? Okay. Board members, register your vote.

Preferential. >> Yes. And the motion passes with a vote of five to zero with preferential voting. Yes. 2C1 public hearing and adoption of resolution 2026 2027-31 sufficiency of instructional materials. Recommend the board of education conduct a public hearing and adopt resolution 2026 2027-31 sufficiency of instructional materials. I now open the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. Do we have any speakers?

Thank you. I now close the hearing at 7:16 p.m. And now for the adoption. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. Naw. And a second. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Any comments, questions, discussions. Okay. Register your votes, please. Preferential. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Waiting for two more. One more. There we go. And the motion passes with

a vote of five to zero and preferential voting yes. We're now on to item 2C2 resolution 2026 2027-32 full day transitional kindergarten and kindergarten programs. recommend the board of education adopt resolution 2026 2027-32 full day transitional kindergarten and kindergarten programs. Thank you, Mr. I was going to have a motion, Mr. Svantes, thank you and Mr. Cruz, thank you for your second. Any

comments, questions? Dr. Infel uh tonight I'm excited to bring forward the resolution to adopt a full day kindergarten. Um this has been a long time coming. Um we attempted this I think it was about 16 years ago. Um and we did not have all the capacity across the district to implement this. So there is one positive thing to say about declining enrollment.

it has opened up enough classroom space across our district uh to be able to move forward with uh full day TK and kindergarten across the class. I had a few things I was going to say, but Mrs. Sandival that was very eloquent of of what she shared and so she captured really the heart of why we want to move

forward with that. So with that, I'll end my comments. Yes, Dr. Enfield. Yeah, definitely. She captured the heart and I do support the transitioning of our transition of kindergarten and kindergarten program from half day to full day. Thank you. Has anyone ever seen that poster? Everything I needed to know in life I learned in kindergarten. You read

through that. So, it's it's pretty entertaining and there's some truth behind it actually. If you you look it up, you you'll see some interesting um tidbits in there. So, very excited about this program and again, nice work. Um, it's been a while long time coming. So, thank you for all your hard work on this. >> Yeah. Um, you know, I I appreciate the

credit of you recognizing that, um, Mr. Smith and the board on that. Um, but I also want to give credit to the the staff who um put every put all the this work together that went out and looked at everything. I want to thank uh uh Bev Beamer who was very in instrumental in looking at uh the loading of our all of

our schools. She's she knows every school inside and out and she knows every classroom and every space that is imaginable across all these the district. Um and so along with her help with u Mrs. questions. Uh Luke Hackne, Greg Stura, uh going out and looking at all of our facilities um and doing an analysis to to be to be

able to determine um if we were able to bring this forward to the board. At first, when when the the preliminary numbers were run, I I was kind of a little like, oh no, we we it may not be possible. Um but again going out and looking and meeting with all the principles it was determined that yeah

we we absolutely have the space to make this happen. And so again um my staff here is tremendous across the district. Um not only my cabinet uh but the administrations across this district the the the the staff across this district. They do phenomenal work um around here. And so they're always always um able to do what I as them to do. They they do

phenomenal job. I I didn't give them a very long timeline to get this done because there's a lot of things that have to happen and it's incredible that the speed that they work at to make these things happen and I know people don't see it be behind the scenes but but the work that goes on uh across this

district is phenomenal. So again, a lot of people to make this happen. A lot of people >> Mr. Chris >> and Dr. influence and what does this mean for our community? It, you know, the midday pickups and the drop off created a burden for working parents and often difficult choices around employee child care and transportation. So, this

definitely helps parents definitely stability and predict predictability and and now we're transitioning to the whole child. So rather than half a day, we're using the whole day to invest. And um I I think about it when I was in elementary. What I think about the most is taking my naps in elementary. And I I look forward to that. Those things

matter. And now now that now the the the elementary kids, you know, they could take their nap because that's just as important as everything else. So, thank you for >> Thank you, Chris. >> Awesome. No, I'm definitely excited, too. And uh Miss Sandival, I just remember her from how many years ago? I have a almost 19year-old member and all

of us parents wanted her because she had such a good reputation. Of course, I had Miss Poon and she was great. But she just had such a great reputation of making sure that like parents knew that if our kids that you know were able to get her that they would have a great education. But just to hear her stand

there is just a true testament to what our teachers really are here in Chino. They are different. Um and I'm grateful for them because she's over here begging for a full day of 5 year olds and she's asking for it. So I mean that takes a special kind of heart and a special kind of somebody but that's who they are.

they care about the the kid at the end of the day making sure they're successful. So, I'm excited about it. I'm excited to see um you know the continuous just um efforts on everybody putting in their whole heart to make sure Chino Valley has everything that they need. So, thank you again. And since I see no other comments, we'll go

ahead and if I can get a motion, please. Oh, we actually had a motion. A vote. Sorry. There you go. Okay. And then I have preferential. >> Yes. >> And it passes with the vote of five to zero. Awesome. And the next item is 2D1 resolution 2026 2027-30 week of the school administrator. Recommend the board of education adopt

resolution 2026 2027-30 week of the school administrator. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. N. And a second. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Any comments, questions, discussions? I know that we um passed these resolutions and we do want to make sure we honor um all of our staff and right now, you know, we're declaring it the

week of the school administrator and I do want to say our PTAs and PTO I mean PTAs and PTO's do an awesome job at making sure that you know you guys feel special, but we just want to give an extended thanks every single day. Um Dr. Dr. Grandfield, I know when people see school administrator, they might might

not even know what it entails. I mean, can you please maybe just give us a couple of different people in that category because it's a lot, right? You have your principles, your APS, your directors. Maybe just kind of give the public on how many people are included in here so we can just say an extra thank you to all of them.

>> Well, this this one specifically is for our school administrators. So, it is calling out for our school sites. So, it's our assistant principles, our principles, but typically we also include all of our coordinators, our directors um across the district and our management across the district. So, there's a a number of uh administrators that do a lot of work day in and day out

to support the school sites. >> Okay. So, please go thank your school administrators. Make sure that you know I know what their special coffee is or favorite doughnut. Um, I'm sure you'd bring a smile. It's really just the small things that actually are big things. Um, I was reminded recently my daughter, you know, just thought of a a

mom who was going through cancer and she just said, "Mom, I'm buying her flowers." And she constantly does this just to make that mom's day. And the mom sent me the most beautiful message yesterday. It literally stopped me in my tracks and brought tears. Um, and she said, "You know, when I was going through a rough time, didn't feel like,

you know, I had very much fight. Your daughter shows up at the door with flowers." And that's nothing about my daughter. I mean, it was a simple thing of her at, you know, Trader Joe's buying flowers, but the fact that she just took a little bit of time out of her day to make somebody else's day special. These

little things make someone's day so special. So, um, I would just encourage everybody get out there and just make someone's day special. It can even be a picked flower. Trust me, when my daughters would come up with the picked flower for, you know, with bugs rolling all over, I would never scream about the bugs. I would, you know, bite my tongue

and just enjoy the flower for the moment. So, um, I'll shut up now, but just make someone's day special, please. Um, all that to say, let's go. Let's, uh, get our vote on and preferential. >> Yes. >> Thank you. One more. There we go. And the motion passes with the vote of five to zero with preferential voting yes.

That concludes our action items. Moving on to consent. Board members, if you have any items to pull, please indicate so on your monitor. Okay. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. Smith. And a second. Thank you, Mr. Naw. And board members, register your vote, please. Preferential. >> Yes. >> Thank you. And the board, the motion

passes with the vote of 5 to zero with preferential voting. Yes. Then we're now on to board comments, Mr. Smith. And you're live. All right. What a night. Um, a lot of positive things happening in our district. Um, despite some people who I don't know, seem to clearly desire misery, I guess. But in our district, everything really seems to be positive

and uplifting. the awards, the kindergarten. Malia, what a great update. That's fantastic. You went through the whole list. You and you hit every school. A lot of great things happening uh in the district that um you know, a lot of us aren't even aware of. There's I often say that um if you need something to do, you could probably just

find some entertaining things amongst our high school like the theaters or the the choir classes, all the music things they have going on. There's a lot of fun, fantastic things happening in our district. Um Danny, you mentioned something about a health pick and we'll follow back up on that if there that we couldn't get the spot filled or this

health pick could not um take the the break that they wanted to take. Um and I would absolutely love to go on this ride along by the way. Sounds like a roller coaster, frankly. So anyway, um yeah, let's follow up and I I'll I'll take you up on that offer for sure. There were some, you know, we hear a lot

about these um lawsuits that we get caught up in and there's there was a recent hearing that I was able to attend in person and see, you know, just hear opinions and um hear the back and forth between uh the the judges or the judge and the attorneys and um and that this particular case was relying on a Supreme

Court case recently. Was it Supreme Court the Supreme Court case that we were anyway the Marbelli case. That's right. And it it was pretty interesting because we'll hear a lot of detractors kind of the those that want to gravitate towards misery it seemed like. But they'll come up they'll talk about these lawsuits and the question is who is suing whom

and in this case who who's attacking who? So in this culture war, what what we desire is we desire a standard like a nice clean education. We we're not engaged in any culture war. We're not engaged in any kind of political agendas. We're the ones that are actually removing the political agendas from the classroom. We're the ones that

are keeping a nice clean education. It's the ones that want those the ones that are engaging in the culture war are engaging against us. That's where the culture war is happening. We're simply defending in this particular case it is parental notification which now at the Supreme Court it's pretty clear the parents have a right to know what's

happening with your kids. So imagine and what we get called you'll hear it often forced outing. Forced outing. Who who's forcing the outing? If a kid comes to the teacher and says, "I want to be called this name." You're forcing that outing to everybody except a parent. You're gonna tell everybody, "Hey, you know, Johnny wants to be called Jenny now and don't you

dare dead name Jenny because that's an act of violence, right? We're going to force the outing to everybody except the parent." Is that is that right? Is that like a sensible thing? Well, what if Oh, what if there's uh the parents are violent or whatever? Everybody that is in this district, you you all of us up here, we're all mandatory reporters by

law. If there's some potential of violence against a kid and at home, we are all required by law to report to the authorities. Even Even us on the board, we had to sign the document. If there's any if there's any sign that this kid is in danger, we report. So what what's the next argument in that? So we get sued

because parents have a right to know what's happening with their kids. When I taught 30 some odd years ago, I was 22 years old and I was teaching high school good students. I did not want to be caught dead alone with these high school students. I was a 22-y old knucklehead and I knew that I shouldn't be alone

with these kids ever. I would not want to keep secrets of a sexual matter with students and I don't know why any teacher would want to put in that situation. It just doesn't make any sense. So parents have the right to know what's going on and we get we get sued because we affirm that right. And then it will come up and say, "Oh,

you got sued." Well, yeah. Who's suing who? And over what? You're suing us. Over this over some fundamental right of parents to know what's happening with their kids. Oh, you spent this much money. Well, you know, you spent that much money on that. The Supreme Court ruled. Yeah. Parents get right to know. Anyway, so off of that soap box,

I was able to do some site visits. Uh, thank you to Principal Janelle at Oakidge and Principal Quan. That was fantastic. And I'm looking forward to the rest of my site visits um tomorrow and then next week. Um, and with that, thank you to the community for being positive because this is a positive community. We have great schools, great

students, great staff, great administrators, and we're we're so thankful for everything you do. >> Thank you, Mr. Smith, Mr. Naw. administrators that were here tonight. Um, I really um love them and and allow them for their hard work for all these years taking our students as their own. And thinking back to um Mr. Smith comment and looking at the news about the state

of California and our neighboring um school district LA Unified where they're in a big trouble they said because of uh low enrollment of their schools. Basically, they're saying parents are fleeing their schools, taking their students away from their Yes, they're following all the states mandates. The school districts are not standing up against And yes, their parental rights has been

eroded in last decades where parents are saying enough is enough and our childrens are not safe and they're showing by numbers but not taking their children to their schools. And I was thinking when I would have my grandkids, where would I take my grandkids to school? My answer today will be Chino Valley Unified School District. We have great teachers.

We have great school programs. And yes, our children will be safe, especially girls will be safe. How safe? It's going to be a common sense. Safe. It's not what TV says. It's not what the state says. It's what our parents and grandparents says are safe. And that's what we're working on. And all of us are standing up for that.

There's no personal reasons. We're doing it because we're normal and all of our teachers are doing it because our teachers are normal and our and Tims are doing it and our staffs are doing it because all we are all normal. But again it has to start with somebody somebody small like kindergarteners. I have happened to talk to recent

graduate from Chino Hills High School who had gone to Harvard in full ride and he said Mr. Not. Can you believe I'm studying next to us like a a grandson from Kennedy's family today because of our teachers at Chino Valley Unified School District. I owe them and I was so happy. Yes, he was a fourth grader one day, but

he's in Harvard. He's tonight because of our teachers and our staff members and our superintendent. We're here for our student success and their safety. Some people a jealous people can do whatever they want to do. But we have greater goal and that will not change. And yes, we will not follow crazy mandates. We will just do a common sense thing for

the students sake. Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Smith. >> Thank you, Mr. Na. Mr. Cruz, >> mic is on. >> You know, Dr. Enfield, you know, Eubanks was talking about programs, you know, programs that take students into the community, rural activities, teach experiences, teach independence, safety that a classroom alone cannot provide. Maybe that's what she was wanting. that

desire of of having that opportunity and having programs for her um students to um have that experience. So that is a good thing. But actually I don't know what what she and Mr. Hernandez. Yeah. Let's do Tuesday. the bus. You know that was a good idea cuz not one person but when you have a group of people seeing it now you're talking.

I should have thought about that. I should have thought. And Dr. Rener, thank you. Thank you. I I really appreciate that. Thank you. And for ASL. You know, you could offer ASL and see if if the students want I mean, I don't see any issues with it, but yeah, it would be a good idea. And then there there were some words. I

said, "We do it our way. Juno Valley does it their way. We're ranked number 25 in California, and our kids are prepared. My daughter goes to UCSD. Dr. Grace daughter graduate from UCLA. Mr. Nos, one's a doctor, one's in vetinarian school. So, we prepare our kids for college and and that is a good thing. But ultimately, it's free will. Free will

determines where we go. that if we're slower than others, it really doesn't matter because it is it is what God has intended for us to pursue. And then then the same people that come, the negative people, and I I think about this and let's be frank, I'm here, I'm not a good talker, I'm nervous, but I get elected. I don't get elected because

they really don't care about me. What they care about is my values, our values. That's why I get elected people. So the same people coming over and over again, trust me, they don't care less about me, they care about the values that take care of their students and they know that the other side are a bunch of

crazies and they just don't want their kids to get lost because a lot of them get lost and they're coming back. So, the same folks coming back over and over again, I'm telling you, you're a bunch of weirdos, okay? You got to remember the reason why I'm getting elected is because it's our values in this community, and that's

what makes this community great. We're 25 in California. We're going to get better and better. But as as a colleague of Dr. Reneer, I 100% support our teachers, you know. I I have to say that sometimes things get real strange, but I just let you know that. Okay, people. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cruz. I appreciate your

comments. Mr. Cervantes, Mike is on. >> Uh, thank you everybody for being here tonight and all the speakers. Your comments, they're appreciated and we always learn something and they bring awareness. So, appreciate that. You know, I I'm really grateful for tonight the Diamond Awards, that was outstanding. You know what? To see everybody up there was just really,

really cool. I mean, that was just a great moment and I didn't want it to end. It was was really good. So, thank you for Dr. for really making that happen and showing me appreciation to all our schools. Welld deserved. And again for our our program going fulltime for our TK and kindergarteners. Miss Annabal, what you set up there was

outstanding. And again, Dr. Rener and Mr. Hernandez, we know we appreciate that you want to work together to make sure that our teachers and it's going to be a transition. There's going to be a lot more expectation and and so we want to get behind and work together to make that happen because we want them to be

successful going forward. So, thank you for that. And the week administrator, you know, uh it's always a good thing to recognize. I mean, I tell you what, I'm always welcomed. Every time I walk on a campus, and it starts with the office staff. It never seems like we're inconvenience anybody. I'm always welcomed and uh and uh it seems like I'm

actually appreciated being there and taking the time to see what their needs are because that's important for me. The only way we're going to know what's going on in the schools is to get out there. And the great administrators and office staff and teachers that we have, they're always welcome. They're always willing. They're not they're not afraid.

Even if we don't maybe want to hear what they have to say, we actually want to hear what they have to say and they have that courage to confront us and tell us, hey, this is what's actually going on. And I personally appreciate that because I don't want to hear that everything is great. I want to know that there's

actually things that we need to fix because guess what? We're not perfect. But you know what? Like I said before and I'll say it again. You know what? If we actually go after and chase perfection, we might actually catch excellence. And that's what we want. We want to continue to excel and be the very best here in this district because

that part for sure is doable. So, we're going to continue to do that and I thank you for that. The couple of things that we did uh since the last board meeting, we had a the parent information forum and I want to really thank thank our law enforcement partners. They did an outstanding job putting that on. And I I

was hoping it'd be a really packed out house house where there was only standing room only, but unfortunately it was a decent sized crowd, but you know, I wish it was more because this is the thing. Such good information was put on the technology that these things have and the challenges our kids because it's not going away. We know AI is improving

and it's getting more and more advanced and the applications and the things that these cell phones have, you know, we really need to make sure we're we're preparing our kids because again, it's not who we're contacting, it's who's al also contacting them. So, thank you Chino PD and our sheriff's department for putting on some excellent information for our parents to to glean

and hopefully we could actually make some uh some basically harder targets and some safety net myths through that partnership. Also went to the American Legion Awards that took place over at uh gosh, the building up the street. and it's so close and uh it did an outstanding job for boys and girls state. We have a lot of fantastic

leaders that represented a y'all at Chino Chino Hills High and Donugo and it was it was really well to uh it was an awesome honor to be there. Uh today Dr. Enfield and I we attended the Boys Republic annual awards, the scholarship awards and it was great. I mean, the uh when you see those kids and the

struggles they had to go through, you're talking about kids that were actually homeless, kids that, you know, with no parents, no support system. But you know what? What they did have was grit and determination. And you know, the the theme that kept going on and on throughout the day was your past doesn't represent your future. And I'll tell you

what, none of us were without excuse. There's no reason why we can't be successful here. And again, I want to give a shout out to our parents. I'm so grateful that I had parents that really invested in me and cared about what I was doing on a day-to-day basis. And I know that's happening here at Chino Unified. And so, our parents, we thank

you. Our students, thank you. Our teachers, we thank you. Let's continue to do that that hard work and what it takes to be successful. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cervantes and Dr. Anfield. board. I want to thank all of you for recognizing all of our school sites for the Chino Valley tiered systems of support. Um, our school sites do a

phenomenal job on um really working on the when you look at when you look at um the whole child and what you want to put together, you have an academic and then you have a behavioral side. And in that tonight, we looked at the behavioral component of interventions. And so, a lot of people don't know this, but this

district uh started this work well before the state even started this work. We actually had to fly out to the east coast to get training and to bring it back to this district. And so, we've been doing this for for quite a while. And we spend a lot of time and we spend a lot of energy into this program to

ensure that when kids come to school they feel safe, that they feel physically safe and that they feel psychologically safe. And and again, no school can be 100% perfect where no bullying goes on, nobody gets hit, nobody I mean in the ideal world, we would want that. But you see even in this boardroom, you'll see people come here and you'll see verbal

violence across the in this room. Um, and so it's part of what the whole country, the whole world has, but what our job is is to try to reduce that as much as possible at a school site. Because as a parent, when I sent my kids to school, I always wanted them to feel physically safe, psychologically safe,

and that they have a great education. And those are the three things that we continuously work on in this district. And again, it's not going to be perfect, but we try to make it as perfect as it can be because as it was shared with me, uh people in man-made systems are not perfect. So again, we try to work on

that and a lot of people don't see the work that goes behind making this program work in our district. There's a tremendous amount of training that goes on. At the beginning of the school year, I was in PDC2 and there was well over a hundred people in that room doing training at the start of the year for

this particular work. And that's just a small group of people. We had a hundred people in there. And that was a small group because they go back and at the school sites the teachers do a tremendous amount of work especially at the elementary there's a lot of student data that they evaluate the students and that they enter that data that they do

that throughout the year. We have our intervention counselors who are responsible for ensuring that all of this work goes on at the school site. There's a tremendous amount of work that they do at that school site. the amount of interventions and support and counseling that they provide is it's it's awesome that we have that in our district. And to build that out, there's

three tiers. There's a tier one that all students receive because that's part of hey, we want to teach the kids how to behave because not all of us know how to behave. I sure didn't when I was a kid. I was a knucklehead and got into a lot of trouble. Um, and so that's what we do. We we we teach kids. That's part of

our our responsibility. Then there's a tier two. There's a tier two part of this and that's some kids need a little bit more interventions and so those are our tier twos and then there are tier three which is actually the highest. Very few kids need it but that's more intense interventions and we provide that in this district. And we

also have outside resources that we bring in to help support in all those levels across the district. And so we put a lot of time, energy, training, and it's not easy work. It is a lot of work to make this happen. And so again, tonight, the board recognized all those years of work that this staff across this district put in to that system to

ensure that we have a positive school climate when kids come to school. And our survey results show that our data that we receive is showing that these discipline issues have gone down and down year in and year out. And that's the work that again all the work of the staff coming together to make that happen. And so I'm extremely

appreciative of that work because that is extremely important work and that's the work that a district needs to really focus in on. Again, I can't guarantee any parent that their kids won't be bullied, won't won't have somebody call them names or or physically hit them. Nobody can do that. But our job is to try to reduce that down as much as

possible because we don't want anybody to have to come in and have to deal with that in school. And so we work our hardest to try to to do that. And you have to have strong systems in place to do that. And this district does a really really good job in that. I'm extremely proud of the work because I see what

goes on day in and day out across this district and so to recognize uh the work and as Mr. Hernandez said that you see all classified people in here because it takes the entire school to make it happen. It's not the principal's responsibility. It's not the teachers. It's not the intervention counselor. It's not the classified. It's everybody.

It's everybody working together to support the kids at that school so that when they come to school it's a positive school. I think most people want to come to work and have a positive work environment. I do. I want to come in and feel positive where I'm working at and our kids want that. And so that's what

we provide for them in this district and that's why we put so much time and energy into this the this program. And so again, extremely proud of that. The other thing that we do really well is we do our PLC work. um we put a lot of time and energy into that because that's the piece that gets us to that high level of

instruction that we want all kids to have. And so that's the other those are the the things that we focus in pretty simple. We don't put a whole lot of time into the others. It's really looking at high academics. We do that through the PLC that we want safe and psychologically safe places. We do that with our PLC's and and the safe places

through our maintenance making sure that we we're ensuring our school sites are safe at all times. And so that's the focus that we we stay focused in on that. Um and then the the last part I want to thank our our school principles uh and our school site administrators because they are the ones that are responsible for making sure that this

happens. We support them. The district's role here is to support them to help them to reduce barriers and to give them the resources to make that happen at their school sites. and they're the ones that are responsible for going back to the school sites and and making that happen at every school. And that resolution tonight is to recognize them.

Our principles and our assistant principles do a phenomenal job here. Um they're on the front lines and they do a tremendous amount of work at their school sites to lead this, but again, they don't lead it by themselves. They have to have guiding coalitions at their school sites, so they have to work with their staff to make this happen. But

again, they're the ones that are responsible. in the resolution is acknowledging the work that they do. And again, as the superintendent, I couldn't ask for a better group of administrators. We have phenomenal principles and assistant principles across this district. They do a phenomenal job day in and day out. Again, are they perfect? No. Nobody's perfect. Uh but they are the best and I

would put them up against anybody across the United States. And with that, that's my closing comments. >> Awesome. Love it. And I just want to ditto off on our um congratulating our diamond recipients. I remember sitting with you and just like okay we're outgrowing a lot of these programs in California which is a good thing. Um our our staff has hit every

marker and our like look at our graduation. We require you know a 2.0 where California doesn't. Um we have we require four years of English you know three years of math. These are things that California doesn't. we have outgrown all of their um programs, which it's great when we can start offering programs that, you know, honor our

staff, but more importantly, they're getting the results for our kids and our students here in the community. So, I'm excited about this. I'm bummed that, you know, we're bringing it out right before I leave. But, um, just so you know, if Dr. Enfield doesn't bring you treats next year in the room across the way, you're all in trouble. I'll be on that

side of the mic. You know, I'm just kidding. No, I won't. But he's already said yes, that's a great idea because we're just trying to make sure that we start something fun and exciting and something to honor everybody because it is um collaborative work that everybody's doing. And um I also just when we were having the meeting, I'm

like, "What are you going to do? We're going to need something better than a diamond. What's better than a diamond?" Because they all have a diamond now. And now we have nowhere to go. So he's like, "Let's do a star." I mean, just so you know, this little more things are coming out and rolling out just while we speak.

So, it's exciting because you guys excel. Um, we just want to continuously honor you and so thank you for that. Um, I also want to acknowledge uh a lawsuit from CTA. I am grateful that they're suing um Newsome. Well, there you go. Taxpayer dollars suing Newsome for the right reasons, right? Because there is lawsuits for the right reasons. He in

regards to Prop 98. I started blowing the whistle alongside a few others. back member. We were even speaking about it and it was supposed to be 5.9 billion dollars being held that he wanted to give to special interest groups, lobbyists, all these other things instead of education. So, he's robbing education and putting it somewhere else. Um, we I started speaking out about it

in April. I saw the unions started to speak out about it, which was great because, you know, everybody was trying to like bring awareness to it. Um, and then now he's being sued, which sucks because it's our taxpayer dollars. But what sucks is $3.9 billion dollars were stolen from education to put somewhere else. And that's wrong. But I'm grateful

that there is awareness of these things because um it needs to stop. The money needs to go in the classroom just like the lawsuits need to stop. We have a duty and obligation to respond to a lawsuit. We are elected here and it's five members over two election cycles. last election cycle had three seats could have been flipped if the community

in Chino Valley didn't want what we're doing. We're letting them do the work and those ones that are still here wanting to go home do the work that they actually want to do, which is obviously never hide a secret from a parent and make sure kids have the best education possible. I am like my mind just blows and as a

mother I I get so angry sitting in kangaroo courts with dishonorable judges because as a little girl I expected judges to do honorable things and when I see a judge struggle Smith and I sat there and I'm so glad he was able to see it firsthand because I've been in many of these hearings by myself and I am

sitting there thinking I wish the world can see what this usually men sorry they are. I'm just going to say it are dooming in regards to whole upholding basic constitutional rights. Like call me stupid and not educated, but I know my constitutional rights and definitely my 14th one of being a parent. Why the hell am I listening to a judge say now

after he already judged like had a judgment saying parents didn't have a right to know something about their own child previously. Okay. Now, it's been challenged because we decided to challenge. Thank god we had pro bono attorneys that were not paying any money for to represent us in these lawsuits, by the way. Um, so when they say we

raised money, okay, go make that make sense because we have a proono attorney, thank God. Well, many of them I have to go seek to make sure the district isn't absorbing the cost so the money goes in the classroom. But again, who's suing us? And I sat there and listened to a judge struggle literally out loud going

back and forth in his head. Right, Smith? It was But this isn't the first time, but I'm so grateful Smith was able to witness it firsthand. And he's struggling because he's like, "Oh, we have the Supreme Court case." Well, duh. Like, hello. Constitutional rights are they they they're upheld over a state law violating an uh you know, a parent's

constitutional rights. Like, how am I even saying this out loud? like someone please let me know how this is really our reality and he's over there saying oh because now we have a Supreme Court case by the way we were the whistleblowers in that case Chino Valley was so thank for always supporting those of us that can do that work and the

Marbelli case those are two teachers in San Diego area that said no we're not going to hide these secrets they were given a stack stack of papers saying these kids identify as another sex now go call them that and let the one of them was a PE teacher let them in the locker room. She's like, "Does the

parents know?" No. She ended up eventually losing her job over it. We don't let that happen here. I didn't honestly I am so grateful. I get blamed for everything and that's okay. I'll took the heat all day long for doing the right thing, but we have I'm going to give credit to the rest of the board members here, too. Not because

I want them to take the slings and arrows. Please just keep doing it to me. I mean, I've seen my name blasted in my family's name, things said horrible about my father, my husband, my children. It's just absolutely vile and disgusting. And that's okay because I have the armor of God on. So say whatever the heck you want. But just

remember for the ones that are actually voting the right people in, give them credit, too. Because it takes five of us to make sure, well, at least three of us out of five, but you have five gratefully to make sure we continue in this fight. This is setting the message. You have bad actors in the classroom, you're out. You have people wanting to

do nefarious things, we're going to find you and you're out. We don't care if California law protects, you know, predators and violators of malicious things to children. We're going to get you out. And if we get sued, oh well, that that's the right reason to get sued. Let it wake up more people. This judge literally said after those

decisions in a Supreme and federal court, which supersedes superior court, by the way, again, I'm stupid, but I understand this because I live it firsthand. Um, and I'm only saying I'm stupid because they say I'm stupid, but I'm definitely not stupid. That's my secret weapon, by the way. Uh, so all that to say, he's over there saying,

"Oh, because of those judgments." Okay. Okay. Right. Parents can't be lied to, but they have to ask, "What freaking world are we listening and living in?" Like a judge said, "Parent has to now seek." Now, we know our teachers. We just saw an amazing kindergarten teacher who's been here for 20 years say she barely has time to make

sure our kids, you know, are meeting certain essential standards. And now we want her to take a phone call from a parent weekly, daily, monthly. Hey parents, I mean, hey teachers, it's the parent again. Are you hiding secrets? Are you keeping something from me? Are you listening to what I'm saying? I feel freaking crazy saying this out

loud, but this is exactly what happened in superior court. I am mind blown we even have to fight these things. But thank God we have five people and actually our cabinet and superintendent who believe parents rights are a thing still even in California that are willing to do what it takes. The judge even admitted that he knows that we have a workaround.

Boo get us big bad district. We have a workaround to make sure parents constitutional rights are upheld. I'm so grateful we have workaround and people who are willing to take the extra steps to make sure parents are involved and there's no secrets in a classroom and if they are we shut them down immediately. That's the first basic thing. If you

don't change the culture of any district in California, you'll never get the results that this district's getting. It doesn't matter how great they are, he is, she is, our teachers are, our our union leaders are, our CSA leaders are. It doesn't matter how great they are if you don't create a culture that says, "Hey parents, we understand this is your

child. Thank you for letting us have them for the majority of the day. We are going to give them a great education and we're not going to keep secrets. And we're not going to let your girls and boys go into each other's locker rooms and restrooms. Oh, and by the way, we're not going to let boys play girls

sports." And that's what gets me to the next thing that freaking pisses me off. Our yellow girls, by the way, I'm a Bulldog. Go Bulldogs. Well, I was a bulldog in 2000. Our Dyella girls were displaced cross country. Just recently, I said last year in November, there's a boy in Claremont running in the girls cross country team.

It's going to hit us next year. Just watch. First opening and there you go. I'm gonna say who deserves fourth and fifth because they got fifth and sixth. Phoebe Kim and Kate Beck. They should be fourth and fifth, not fifth and sixth because a boy took their place. He knocked them down, which resulted in Ayella getting third place. If that boy

wasn't on that team, we would have had the points to get second place. That is huge for a cross country team. These girls, blood, sweat, tears, you know, torn hamstrings. I'm a mother of two athletes. I mean, just last week, my daughter had a major concussion in co collegiate soccer. You see what these girls go through. I am grateful Chino doesn't let that

happen here. But it is mindblowing that we're in a position that I even have to say out loud that these girls rights are being violated. So, if we get sued for those things, you know what? You better darn well believe I'm going to work my butt off making sure that we have two people in the positions that are coming

up that will make sure they align with them. So all of you can do the great work of Chino that doesn't destroy our district like the rest of California districts are being destroyed right now. Absolutely no. I'm not leaving California. I don't care what they say about me. They could say whatever the heck they want. Actually, I learned good

skills. I don't know where I learned them from. I don't think mother because I listen to my kids and I listen to my husband. So I don't want to say that out loud. But I just look at them and I don't even absorb it. People are like, "How do you even hear that? I don't even hear a word they said."

But I think it's because I have the armor of God on. To be quite honest, he doesn't let me absorb it because he keeps reminding me who I am so I can get out there and fight for our community. I want next meeting to make sure we honor these two girls and if they don't want to come, make sure the certificates get

sent. And also the team as well, please. But I also want a resolution or something to um show we're going to have a representative at the September 23rd meeting at 9:00 a.m. at Bonita Library to CIF because we have a great breaking principal at that high school in Iayala that advocated on behalf of those girls saying this is not fair and CIF said,

"Oh, well the next meeting we'll talk about it on September 23rd." No, I'm going to tell you what they're going to do. They're not going to do anything right. I've been to CIF. I've asked even including my old teacher Mike West who is our one of our, you know, sections um what do you call it? Commissioners, raise your hand if you think that this

is wrong. And he didn't even have the balls to raise his hand and he has said it because he's a man letting little girls be violated and harmed. Grow a pair of balls, be men, and get out there and make sure our girls are protected. I shouldn't have to be the only one in that room saying, "Hey, this is wrong."

I go to those meetings and I'm absolutely mortified. This is what we have in California leading our school system. If we had a commissioner who had some balls, then he would be standing up for these girls, raising the flag, and letting them know until it was already too late and we find out there's a boy on the team. Because that's what

happened. Oh, but you don't like the way I speak. I speak the truth. This is wrong. Parents having to fight for their rights is wrong. Did you know we have another potential lawsuit that we're having to pay attorneys for because we and I'm not even saying the board because the board technically didn't take action, but apparently allegedly we took sexually

explicit books out. I wouldn't even dare bring the wording of the books that are in question to you right now and read and and start reading them out loud because it's that vile. And the same people who come and attack me are the same ones that are using and weaponizing the CDE with Tony Thurman who hates my guts. And I can't even

explain all the things that they're retaliating on on us on. They're demoralizing our teachers and our principles because of what they're doing to them at the at the local level. That's the truth. And you want us to sit here and shut up? Hell no. Don't take us to perb. And I'm grateful we're going to try to bridge that gap for parents

rights, taking sexual explicit books out and making sure girls and boys don't go into each other's lockers and restrooms. The rest is obviously going great. Set the culture, which is hard. Fight the good fight in the state because they're hellbent at making sure that they are creating an environment of chaos. But not in Chinu Valley because guess what?

for at least another two years that you have a majority that I know even when I'm gone in a little less than two months. I know every single one of these guys will not back down. So with that said, Chino Ally, fight the good fight. So do not back down. Do not make me be your enemy on the other side

of that mic back in January when the new board members get sworn in. Just trust me, I ain't giving up. I'm grateful that you guys are amazing. Let's keep it that way. Let's keep showing the state we don't need their programs. We've outgrown their programs. Their programs are trash. They're not getting the results. They're failing kids. We are

actually helping kids succeed. And I believe in every single one of you that are sitting in this room, you continue to do the right thing. And with that said, I'm going to end the regular board of education meeting at 8:10
