Any questions? So I'll take a motion that can board of education move policy for business. Thank you. Second. Thank you, Ally. Any further questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I. That's eight. Thank you very much. Next motion move that camp board of education approve the following policy as a first read suicide prevention and intervention 8 to 7 mostly updates uh the resources available the schools school council. That's the biggest change in it that clean up some things that don't exist anymore. It's a different phone number, that sort of thing. Is there anything there? No. >> Motion. Um, thank you Felicia. Thank you, Jordan. Uh, we have first and second.
And in continuing with our moment, one of your favorite topics and mine and it would been uh Calvin Greers as well is some of our dual enrollment and Isuza connection. I'll hand that over to to Mr. to Dr. Schultz. >> Thank you. Well, on behalf of our entire entire campus community, I want to thank everyone at the Isuza Unified School District for your enthusiastic support of our educational partnership. As you may know, dual enrollment is an amazing opportunity that allows high school students the ability to enroll in college courses during the fall, spring, and summer terms to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. During the 2425 academic year, we are proud to share that we had,463 total Isuza Unified student enrollments in dual enrollment courses. In many cases, students took multiple dual enrollment courses throughout the year. At Citrus College, we're thrilled that so many students are taking advantage of this unique, local, and affordable opportunity.
I think they have to build a bridge. So my guess is this isn't going to be completed I guess until 2027 but we'll find out there in a couple weeks. >> We'll know in the meeting and we can bring information back to the board after >> anyway >> for our April meeting >> when they came from the county to tell us that they had the money. Didn't they say that they were also going to put a stoplight at White House Canyon and Campbell there? >> He never said that. >> You know, they were considering it. Yeah, they had like three different options on what to do there. >> Well, I know I'm learning something from you because I had heard about any of these >> because that's what we had the same concerns it sounds like as >> Sure. >> as you did about making the left-hand turn there, especially when the sun's shining, you can't >> Oh, yeah.
So, it's a balance. So at every year our business manager, superintendent, they fit us with a budget. That's budget. So we budgeted with that money for whatever to do it. Cuz at one point we was talking about if one board member didn't use all of the money that they were allocated to, they can pass it over to another board member. But that was never written and that we kind of clashed with that. >> I think that was what why we would come to vote. Like am I right? You can correct me if I'm wrong. Well, where if I was over then I can say, "Hey," and we can somebody >> somebody would say, "Well, I didn't I'm not using mine." And then we were both off, >> right? And that kind of got muddied a little bit for the fact and I'm I'm about policies.
I couldn't there there's no um the most critical services that a community does is its public safety and its education of its students and that is indeed what makes a democracy you know a democratic society right is educating our children and I honestly think there's never been a more important time in our history to educate our children um they are growing up in a world that is um has changed their how they perceive the world, how they perceive what it means to be an American. And um I just think that no matter we need to find if if if we can't get an override passed um we need to find that additional $444,000 um you know without and and I know that complicates things because people think all right well they're going to figure this out but there is a there is a cost down the road.
Um we're it's a competitive market. There's not many people that hold that degree and that certification that can teach kids how to read to what Peter just said, right? Those primary grades, they're learning to read. So, in the upper grades, they can read to learn. And we're finding that the kids aren't able to read at the secondary level. So they're not getting able to learn. We need teachers that going to be able to teach these kids the science of reading, how to be able to read, how to close those gaps. So we need >> like small group or within the classroom or how would that look? >> I it could look a couple of different ways. One of the ways would definitely be small group instruction. Do you remember Mrs. Zeleleski? Okay. So Barbara Zeleleski back in the day was our both both our speech pathologist and our reading specialist.
Any questions? Move board of education approve policies first read suicide prevention intervention. All those in favor? >> I thank you. Okay. >> All right. Next one. Motion move board of education approve following policy is first read administration of student medications in the school 41 to 40 and this has been gone through school nurses as well. uh the biggest change would allow us to do so instead of a nasal version of that now. I have a motion Kim. Thank you and second Michelle. Thank you very much. So I have first and second on the motion to move board of education approve the following policies first read administration of student medications in schools. All those in favor I opposed. It's 80. Thank you again. All right. Motion move board of education approve the following policies. First read child sex abuse and assault response policy of reporting which is 4 to three.
And may I share, and forgive me, you may have just heard the good news, but I we are so proud of this partnership. And so I'm pleased to share that Isuza High School in partnership with Citrus College was recently recently recognized by California as a 2025 2026 California exemplary dual enrollment award recipient. Uh this recognition highlights school college partnerships that demonstrate outstanding dual enrollment programs and effective practices that expand access to early college opportunities for high school students. It's really a model partnership in the state. Um, congratulations uh to this board, to these administrators, these teachers and staff um who are helping us in partnership with Citrus College provide these life-changing opportunities to students. I'd also like to briefly share some additional current data regarding the connection between Isuza Unified School District and Citrris College and serving our local Isuza community. For the spring 2026 semester, 266 of our students are current dual enrollment high school students from Isuzi Unified.
Yeah. >> When you're coming in the morning, you can't see up the hill. >> Yeah. And just so you know, I I emailed this uh but you know Doug Kenyon, the current rep for Supervisor Christie, he asked, you know, he said, "John, you know, for the the county people at the meeting of PREP, can you send me something showing concerns?" I sent this off to him and I got a response from the county on Monday, their community engagement person saying, "Thank you." And she's passed it on to the people there. So, >> so you're not saying that you don't want it to go through. the concerns that if it does go through, >> I'm being very careful how I phrase this. The board very much wants it to go through, right? >> I was 300 residents. I'm sure you can find some that would not want it, but the overwhelming number of people, particularly after that accident with a sulfur jar full of sulfuric acid spill last year, >> we want it.
I'm about standards. It's got to be in black and white. You can't really go wrong that way. And so >> the 4500, you know, is a good number for someone especially if you're and I say getting started because you don't want to go away right away because you don't know what you're what you're seeking. What are you searching for? The first couple years I was here, I really focused on going to the tripey or anything local and worked on bonds to understand financing >> because I thought to me that I thought that was very important. But I mean every we have seven different opinions here and I'll tell you my opinion. There's no way I go to a conference out of state and I feel like if it costs 3500 bucks am I getting value out of that. Me personally I'm not getting value out of that.
Every time we kick the can down the road there is a cost. So I just think that we need to um be very cognizant of that >> interest >> down the road. Uh Michael, I have a quick question for you with respect to the stabilization account and appreciate >> your your comment with respect to that. If the override fails currently, what what are we anticipating using uh the stabilization account for right now? What what is the total figure right now that we're looking to utilize out of the stabilization account before we look at the overright and we what is what would that figure be? Are we are we not looking at it at all? >> Oh, if if we had a level funded budget >> Yeah. >> like uh the discretionary line items are level funded, we would still need to have um 549,000 in stabilization just to balance the budget.
and she would pull kids to work with them when they were speak specific needs that weren't necessarily our IEP or 504 kids and that we don't have that anymore. I mean, our speech pathologist schedule is is packed. It's just the way it is right now. So, this is that's how I would see it happening. Rich or Lisa, do you >> probably more small group instruction? Yeah, the the idea is there's no tier 2 interventions that take place the specific demographic of students and I'm happy to talk on it more when we get there, but the reality is if you come to middle school and you have these wide gaps, um our ELA teachers are not specialized to close them and teach phonics decoded in these types of skills that they need to develop and be able to close those gaps. You need specialized services. There's a tier two intervention >> and and by the way we haven't we talked about a strategic plan but MTSS multi-tier system of supports right we don't have a tier two right we're we're able to teach the whole group but there are some kids that don't necessarily qualify for for that qualify for tier three which is our special education kids IEPs but that second tier that tier two is where there's small group instruction we'd love it to happen in the class right because we don't want to pull our kids out of class and have them miss the instruction that's taking place in the class right but that tier two small group.
Um and Mr. Sh. >> John thought I had them all down but I can't remember. >> Mr. Bishop, you were batting a thousand there. So a couple things with this one. Um it uh outlines additional resources for uh resources available to victims of child sexual abuse and sexual assault in their families. They've also updated references to the safe school specialist uh to reflect statuto uh revised title um and not any other substantive changes to the policy. So I'll take a motion on that. Thank you Kim. Second Joe, thank you very much. So we're moving that camp board of education approve the following policies. First read child sex abuse and assault response policy reporting first and second in favor. I opposed. That's 80. Thank you again. It's it's important on these first reads if you get a second. I know we go through it policy but if you get a chance to take a look at them they will they will reappear in our April meeting for a motion to approve.
In addition, 119 of our students this spring are Isuzi Unified alumni who graduated within the past year. An additional 394 students are Isuza Unified alumni who graduated more than one year ago. And finally, a total of 1,33 current Citrus College students are residents of Isuza. We are very proud of that. Well, those students are going to graduate and what are they going to do? Hopefully, we're going to look for them to transfer. And as a transfer student myself, I can speak to the, you know, the the possibilities that that gave me right now. So hopefully we're hoping our students do one thing. They're either going to transfer or they're going to go to their career occupation that they were trying to get into that program. So once our students go, they look for universities. We had over 800 graduates who transferred last in the 2425 school year.
>> Yeah. >> It's just a safety issue. >> Right. Right. And what we're concerned about um speculating is we're concerned that they're going to say, "Oh my gosh, we have to work on the project and the safety areas, as we understand it, are outside the project boundary." Because the project boundary is only the unpaved portion and of Campbell and that's several hundred yards short of White House Canyon because that first part there is paved. Obviously, the Monero reserve intersection was paved and so we're concerned that they may say, "Oh, you know, that's not part of the project. We don't have to look at it now." And our my feeling our feeling is, you look at the whole thing and don't do something and say, "Oh my gosh, there's an issue and it's going to take us a year or two to address it." So, that ties into your question as we go about the timing.
>> And that's why we have to let every board member decide >> what they want >> for themselves because me personally I just don't see going to a conference somewhere else. >> But you're going to remember I'm not in education. You know, I'm in construction. So, when I'm going to an educational conference is being a good fiscal steward going away for for three days or four days, what am I going to come back for the value of the money that's going to be spent there >> is just not in my wheelhouse. >> Yeah. And you have to look prior to you have to look at the catalog and say, you know, whatever. That's correct. And I told Janine about >> the qualms that I had. It was not so much going because I definitely get a lot out of those conference. I will not go right.
Okay. >> If we if we did um if if the override does pass, we would still need um uh 500,000 and and some uh and some change, excuse me. And um and if we're talking about if the override fails and us basically backstopping that with stabilization funds, you know, you're talking about an additional 1.4 on top of that. >> Thank you. So something I just want to say about this which is sound ironic potentially but maybe people don't understand how we can you know how we access stabilization if the override fails [snorts] the same people who didn't support it will then need to come to town meeting and vote for our ability to access stabilization. We just can't do that. Okay. And then we get into this cycle of drawing down our reserves, then being forced to replenish them if, god willing, there is any free cash, and then getting into a situation where potentially that doesn't happen and we start to start to spiral and then have to determine at what point we're going to say enough is enough and then saying enough is enough.
So Peter's delivering the lesson. I'm working with Lisa. I'm working with Mike and having a small group instruction taking place at the same time that it's taking place. So they're not pulling them out, but able to teach them the reading skills they need so they can read and comprehend and understand what Pete is talking about as well too. >> Yeah. And it again it goes across all disciplines. So that that skill they can't they can't access. >> That's right. It's just not that ELA class, right? It's the science, it's the history classes, it's all affects the entire curriculum. reading music. >> Thanks, P. >> Thank you. >> Good to see you. >> Uh Tennis Smith, Tahanto faculty and Chris and Chris. Yes. Chris Cabino. >> Yes. So once again, I'm Tannis Smith. I am the department's chair for um science and techge. I'm also the physics teacher.
The final one we have before us tonight is normally the camp board of education approve the following policies first read student records purple it's 50 to 49 to change this who has access to student records doesn't IRS access >> and it supports uh students to become eligible as 18y olds to be able to access additional >> again this First meet I'll take a motion. Thanks. Thank you. >> Thank you. First and second. >> All those in favor. Thank you again. All right. Any other business to bring before the board?
Um and as you it's funny, I go through this and I went through this earlier and out of our we have some popular places where our students transfer. uh Cal State uh Cal Poly Pomona, Calst State Fullerton, Cal State LA, uh UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UCLA. Those seem to be our areas. Although those aren't the only schools, those are very popular places where our Citrus College uh graduates will go to. In addition, we do have some, not all of them go there, but all of them will go to private schools or go to out of state schools. Um so some of the destinations for private schools include University of Leverne, University of Arizona, uh the global campus, Grand Canyon University and Isuza Pacific University. So our students are moving along and they are able to continue their goals. But once they even graduate, then there is definitely an economic impact that comes in with uh their graduation and their participation in that.
