Um, my experience at San Marino has been pretty great. Uh I think everyone knows that San Marino can be pretty rigorous and you know that's hard to deal with sometimes but ultimately that's what shaped me to like push myself further and challenge myself academically
003and also in other aspects like joining various programs in schools such as ASB or various clubs. Um and also San Marino made it very easy to find my own community in these programs and find my wonderful group of friends. So yeah, I would like to thank uh my family, my teachers, and my friends uh for allowing me to be up here. Thank you. Uh please stand. Face the flag. Put your right hand over your heart.

I would like to turn it over to principal war to introduce and recognize our SMHS mass team. Jennifer Wins. Thank you, President Chang, members of the board, Superintendent Delator. Um, we uh have been
006very fortunate that we have teachers who are willing to work outside of the school day with our very talented students and our math competition team is one of those and they've had a very successful year this year. And as soon as they come through the door, I'm going to introduce their coach and he's going to introduce the members of the team. Queen. All right. Justin. All right. And Mr. Potoforte, Mr. Hollinger, can you come up to the microphone, please? These are two of our wonderful math teachers, Mr. Hollinger and Mr. Potoforte, who's also our math department chair. And I'm going to turn it over to you guys to talk a little bit about the competition and introduce the students. All right. Hi, I'm Mr. Pena. This is my 12th year at San Marino and it's
007also my ninth year with the team. So, we were here last year cuz we had our best season since the era that I took over. And uh this year's team actually topped that. And I'm going to bring our president up because he wrote a speech. Okay. So, hello. My name's Max Zhao and I'm the president of the San Marino math team. Okay. So as this school year ends, our math team has emerged with numerous outstanding awards and firsttime achievements, some of which I am sure you have heard about. However, I would like to remind everyone that these results did not appear out of thin air. In fact, the cabinet members, the members of the team, and the coaches all committed themselves to push the boundaries of what our math team has been able to accomplish
008this year. As a result, this year has necessitated great dedication and perseverance from all of our math team members. And I would like to take a moment to discuss these great results that the math team has achieved this year. So to start off at the beginning of the year, we agreed to work harder and set our sights for a first place overall on the Bay Math League, which is a local math competition our math team attends. And previously, we had been quite close to first place, but it had always eluded us. So we were quite keen to finally achieve first place this year. So to do that, our cabinet members put in the effort to create better lessons on the topics in the competition and wrote more practice problems for our members to work on.
009We started to hold mock competitions before the actual bay math league and supercharged our performance with a supplement of tasty snacks provided by Mr. Hollinger. Our hard work did indeed pay off as we were able to win a decisive first place victory at our first BML meet. But even as the competition from other schools got harder as they tried to adapt to our new tactics, we kept up our performance and maintained our lead, which I am happy to report earned us an overall first place at this year's Bayathlete Competition. Now, outside of Bay Math League, we also continued our high rates of participation in other math contests, starting with the American Mathematics Competition, which serves as an entryway to a bunch of higher level math competitions. So continuing our outstanding performance this year we had
010four qualifiers for the next level of math competition which is the Amy through their outstanding performance on the American mathematics competition. And these four qualifiers which were myself, Evan, Leo, and Angela somewhere there. They took an even harder exam this February that lasted for three hours. But the contestants were able to maintain their focus and walked away with high scores that have never been seen before at this school. And in fact, one of these contestants, Evan Lee, also had the unprecedented honor of qualifying for the prestigious USA Junior Math Olympiad, the next tier of mathematics competition. And he took a stunning 9hour exam this March. Now, with his achievement of getting an honorable mention and other achievements throughout the year, it is safe to say that our math team remains highly competitive and will continue
011to improve. Now, in this regard, next year, we plan to further expand our contest preparation materials and lessons. Of course, we also plan to continue the other fun parts of math team such as weekly meeting activities such as Jeopardy and fun brain teasers. And we also plan to hold more team dinners at amazing restaurants like the boiling point to celebrate our amazing accomplishments. But before we start planning for this year, I would also like to thank our members, our cabinet, and our two coaches for all the work they have put in to make this an unprecedented year for the math team. And for the coaches in particular, we also have a special gift for each of them as a congratulations for all their efforts in organizing, guiding, and handling the paperwork of the MAT team.
012It's an important decision which one. Thank you. So I would like to thank everyone on the math team for all their efforts and I am confident that we will carry this momentum forward into another great year. Wow, that is truly incredible. And thank you so much for that uh wonderful eloquent speech. Um I have certificates for each of you. Um and I'm going to ask for a little bit of help uh from Mr. Hollinger and Mr. Penu. Penu say that penua penua. Sorry, I always do this to him. Um, I'm gonna ask for their help in passing them out because I know who all of you are, but I would like to read it aloud so that you know what the certificate says before it's given to you. In recognition of an outstanding and successful
013competitive season, your dedication to academic excellence, problem solving, and teamwork exemplifies the highest standards of achievement. Your performance has brought pride and distinction to the San Marino High School and the San Marino Unified School District. We commend your hard work, perseverance, and excellence in mathematics competitions during the 202425 school year. Congratulations to each one of you. I can't imagine sitting for nine hours taking a math test. You guys are incredible. Um and so thank you so much. We're going to go ahead and pass these out and then we're going to ask for a photo. Um, so here I'll just split them up between the two of you if you don't mind. Thank you. Thank you. You can pass them out. And it's going to be challenging to take this photo. We need a bigger boardroom,
014right? Um, so I am wondering if we can get two rows with the tall people in the back and vertically challenged like myself in the front. outside real quick. Going bye. Awesome. Go math team. Awesome. Go math team and coach. Okay, you go. Okay. Yes. Awesome. I want to small size. started by [Music] problem. I'll get had a question about summer school hours that was posted on the flyers that went out. We don't see her email. [Music] Not sure. Church in their city. It was really cool. You let her know exactly what I said you guys like the flyer thing was kind of impromptu and you guys like ended up like at least we were random stairs was really weird. Okay, let's continue for tonight agenda. Okay. 7B, Superintendent Student Advisory Council. I would like
015to turn it over to the Superintendent, Dr. Dritori, to recognize our superintendent student advisory council. Thank you so much, President Chang, members of the board of education executive team. Uh the goal of the superintendent student advisory committee is to bring high school students together to share feedback, experiences, and viewpoints on a variety of issues taking place in our schools throughout the district and within our community. Each meeting empowers our students and administrators to work together on how to best communicate with our student bodies and address topics that most impact students day-to-day lives. The SMSsac's ultimate mission is to help ensure equity, enhance the quality of public education, and support the well-being and achievements of all students in San Marino Unified School District. So before I call them all up um to be honored this evening
016as they've spent a considerable amount of time meeting with um not only myself monthly but also with my executive team and uh Dr. Wolf the high school principal um and one of our wonderful board members um Vice President Gil. Um you know it's just been an amazing experience working with these young ambitious, intelligent, articulate students. They have really just impressed me um so much. I can't begin to tell you. Uh it has been an honor and a privilege um working with them and soliciting their input this year. Um but I did want you to get a better sense of their experiences through their own voices as one of the goals is to really elevate student voices um districtwide. So I'm going to call them up uh and they will speak uh in the order that
017they have chosen. And I will start with uh Benjamin Miller. Yeah, uh Chloe T, our wonderful board member and Molen Woo and Genevie Fan. Hey, I'd like to start off by first thanking both Dr. Dator and Mr. Care for creating this committee and selecting the students around me and myself to be a part of it. I'm sometimes known to be outspoken, opinionated, and what some may call simply stubborn. So when I first learned about this committee, I jumped at the opportunity um I jumped at the opportunity to learn about how the district runs and to share my limited insight with someone who actually has the ability to effect change and the knowledge to ensure open and productive communication. The purpose of a school district is to adequately bolster the schools it represents and to ensure
018sufficient support for the teachers and students who constitute it. Because the school system is meant to serve the students, it is important that they have the ability to share their thoughts and have access to information that will allow them to craft educated opinions about the workings of the school district. This is why student voice is so important and why a panel such as this is so vital to the proper functioning of the system. While certainly composed of ambitious students, the Superintendent Student Advisory Committee represents a wide array of students who each bring a unique perspective to our meetings. Some may draw on their experiences in athletics to discuss their training and playing facilities. Others within VAPA programs may seek increased visibility in the way programs are funded, while other students may ask how they can
019best alert janitorial staff to the fact that they out of necessities like soap and toilet paper. The point here is that these students represent any number of athletic, artistic, or academic programs and each student comes to these meetings with the intention to learn and give perspective. The more or less well-rounded distribution ensures that Dr. Deator and her attentive cabinet uh have the ability to hear from students about real issues and to explain the nuances in a clear and concise manner. Statistics and studies have their place in the creation of policy, regulation, and advancement. But the inclusion of student voices ensures that the unexplainable factor of human nature will not be ignored. Throughout the year, this committee has also provided me with a perspective I had not been exposed to before. One particular issue that stood
020out to me was Dr. Wolf's presentation on reforming the grading policy of the schools. I too was skeptical of the merit of a of the merit of something akin to a four-point grading system or even his more tame 50point grading system. But the logical and clear way in which Dr. Wolf presented his research and personal experiences allowed me to think more deeply on the proposal of a system that rewarded learning and improvement over consistent perfe per perfection. In other words, looking at growth rather than the luck of what might already be known by a student. This is exactly what a committee like this should stand for. not just complaining about the minor or major inconveniences of school, but also taking the time to actually learn why some regulations are put in place, why laws about
021school policy, why laws about how school policy and how San Marino has met and often exceeded these criteria, and why some things are simply not feasible, either as a result of money or precedent. Another item this committee addressed was a better way to amplify student voices and get more people involved into the workings of school. that is how can schools school officials better gauge the thoughts and feelings of their students. This is how uh now as a student who is enrolled in AP statistics this year I learned a lot about sampling and the proper way to do it in order to avoid error. Sometimes the way in which a sample is conducted will systematically lead to inaccurate evidence. In the case of something like an anonymous Google form, which our school uses many times, error
022may manifest in the way error may manifest uh in the uh the students inability to take an anonymous survey seriously or even their inability to complete it as a result of poor motivation or lack of personal conviction. On this note, I will say that however helpful the superintendent student advisory committee is, it too represents a form of bias known as self- selection bias because only people who want to be here are part of this panel and able to give their personal insight. That is why I believe that the best way to communicate with students would be through a series of randomized one-on-one interviews. While I do think that the superintendent student advisory committee is an excellent tool for both Dr. deleator and the district to utilize. I will concede that is comprised primarily of driven
023and high achieving individuals which while representative of a majority of the San Marino schools may fail to adequately represent the entire student body. By conducting individual interviews, select students would be chosen at random to represent each grade level. Some would have taken AP and honors courses while others wouldn't have. Some would be academically inclined and others would be athletically inclined and some would be eager to give input while others might not even care. But most importantly, this would be representative of the school's population and ensure that no contingent goes unheard. Furthermore, the individual nature of the interviews would ensure that students give thoughtful responses while also eliminating the risk that students might respond unseriously as a result of peer pressure or simply the ability to hide behind their screen as an anonymous profile. I feel
024extremely luckily lucky to have had the opportunity to share my voice these past two years as part of this committee. Even between the first and second years, I have seen a more dedicated response not just to listening to the voices of council members, but also to educate them. In the future, I think attending board meetings should be more encouraged from members of the committee, not necessarily to speak or address the district, but rather to learn and observe the actual workings of the district in real time. Again, I'd like to thank Dr. Dr. Deator and every member of her cabinet who came and spoke to us. Each of you took time out of your schedule to listen to the students and educate us on the workings of the district. You answered our questions thoughtfully and provided
025insight, affirming or negating our opinions and observations in a respectful manner. The committee, I hope, has inspired students to play a more meaningful role in their schools and communities because I know it has certainly done that for me. Thank you. [Music] Ben, before you sit down, you want to tell us uh where you're headed to in the fall? Yay. Yeah. Hi. Uh, so I definitely don't have a speech as detailed and as long as Ben's. That was incredibly detailed. Um, to be completely fair, I did not have a speech planned. Uh, I thought of my answers once I read the email that was sent to us and I let my answers just mumble jumble around my brain. Did not write them down like I probably should have done. And when I decided to finally write
026a script 40 minutes ago, 40 minutes ago, uh, I wrote down what was still in my brain, still intact, but probably mixed with everything else that has happened today. So, please be please be I'm gonna be completely off topic most likely. So, the first thing I would like to mention is that like Ben, I think the student advisory council is a great way for students to actually express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings about the school. We are taken seriously. We aren't just pushed aside like we aren't just pushed aside our uh everything we say is taken to account. we are always taken seriously and it is a great way for us to just be able to express ourselves. The first thing that I kind of actually remember from it from the our meetings is Dr.
027Roll's presentation. Again, it's the one of the only things I can remember clearly because I already had like an I already had an opinion on it. And I think he probably knew that by the amount of questions and amount of just questions I was asking the entire time. And I honestly it really solidified my solidified my idea, but it also gave me a new perspective into the grading system, which is something that I knew from my dad. I was supposed to take every single person's ideas, theories, and take them into account and not just reject them. Because if you reject someone's ideas, then you might not know the full story, which isn't great. You always want to know everyone's side and never want to just assume your own side is correct. Like I mentioned before,
028I think the Superintendent Student Advisory Council offers a great way for students to express their ideas, concerns, and beliefs about the school, and a place where their voices will be heard and won't be ignored. It's a great way for students in San Marina to bring up issues that they have and issu issues they have about the school, about policy, about teachers themselves, or just bring up random topics they want to discuss. There's some there's an agenda normally, but sometimes we go very off topic, which is very fun, but also annoying because you have to go back on topic. Like I said, this speech was not planned out. It's really what was in my head 40 minutes ago. So, thank you Where are you headed in the fall? I'm going to college. Wonderful. Hi, I'm Chloe.
029Um, good evening, Superintendent De Laator, board president Chang, executive cabinet and board. As a senior and a member of the Superintendent Student Advisory Council, this experience has really changed the way I see my role as a student. Prior to this year, I used to think that decisions about school um happened very far above us. Um but being part of this council has shown me that students can and should be a part of the conversation. One of the most meaningful parts of the year was being able to weigh in on real decisions like the new ethnic studies curriculum and um grading scale. Having the chance to hear directly from Dr. Wolf and the executive team gave me a whole new perspective on how thoughtful and multiaceted these decisions really are. I really appreciated and enjoyed that
030we weren't just there to give service level opinions, but we were also asked to think critically and share insights to help shape policy. That level trust pushed me to engage more deeply. It showed it was something I didn't expect, but showed me how much student voices matter when they're openly welcomed in the to the process. Being a part of this council has truly taught me how important it is to speak up and how important it is to listen. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be a part of it and I hope the students who come after me to keep pushing for change. Thank you. Chloe, where are you headed? I'm the University of Richmond. Hi, as before I would again like to thank Dr. Delatori and Dr. Richtor and Dr. Wolf for hosting
031the superintendent student advisory council every month. It was amazing to talk to you and I love your outfits every time and always coming so stunning and I can't emphasize that enough. Okay. As a high school student, it's always been easy to dismiss school related issues as hopeless or the fault of an administration that doesn't do anything. And certainly two years ago before joining the Superintendent Student Advisory Council or SSAC as we call it, I admittedly also didn't think of the administration or school board as much more than some mystical concept that might possibly do things for us. Of course, the obvious truth is that students are usually too face first in their academics and other problems to think about the little details that inevitably go unnoticed. But even for problems that do get noticed, students
032usually have little to no opportunities to give their own constructive feedback. Hence why the SSAC is such a special platform for us students to finally voice our opinions. After all, it's one thing to implement shiny new policies, but until said policies are examined for their realistic consequences, they remain conceptual. And there's no better way to observe their effects than by asking precisely whom they affect, the students. In this year alone, the SSAC has discussed a great number of topics, including but not limited to board goals, facility improvements, campus safety, academic and social environments in schools, and student well-being. All of which have been highly informative as a student of the district. For example, earlier of this year, I brought up the point of improving the ventilation and insulation systems of our high school's gymnasiums, an
033ongoing concern for students who play summer and winter sports. To my surprise, actually, the issue had already been considered due to a number of California legal regulations and updated building codes. The gym unfortunately can't be improved unless the entire building is brought up to code, apparently, with costs nearly equivalent to completely rebuilding the gyms. Although this answer was a little discouraging, it was reassuring that the issue was far from being ignored as many students tend to believe. In other meetings, we've also been asked for feedback on things like security improvements like our increased number of cameras at school, buzzing people into the school after 8:30, and having seniors leave campus from a single exit at lunch times. And while there are endless complaints to be made by students about all the inconveniences they cause, I
034have honestly never felt safer. And in terms of student wellness at school, we are very fortunate to have access to a resource like our on-ampus wellness center and the many other resources for mental health offered there. I have also made it a personal point of mine to advocate for greater awareness among students of current events and marginalized communities. So, as you can imagine, I was quite pleased to hear about the implementation of ethnic studies classes, as Khloe mentioned, into the high school curriculum next year. I've also heard plans to bring back events like career day, as mentioned by Dr. Wolf, for students to gain insight into better preparing their futures even beyond college. And actually on the topic of preparing students for their futures, I'd also like to momentarily turn things over to my personal
035advice to incoming freshmen as we were asked um or to any incoming freshman um watching. I would say seriously consider and plan for your goals um for high school and beyond and work hard towards them. Take advantage of every opportunity like the SSAC. Take initiative and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Prioritize your values and your own well-being and realize that even though the future beyond high school seems far now, four more years go by really quickly. And last, in terms of the future of the Superintendent Student Advisory Council, I'm beyond excited to hear about topics exa discussed in the future and the greater impact the council will have on student life. There are certainly still a number of issues to be addressed like issues with bathroom facilities and material
036shortages in science classes, but I have full confidence that through the SSAC, student voices will be heard and taken seriously and San Marino will only become better for it. Thank you, Emily. Where are you headed to this fall? Hi. Hi. Good evening, President Chang, members of the school board, Superintendent Dr. Delator, and esteemed members of our community. My name is Genevie Fan, and I'm currently a sophomore at San Marino High School. It is both an honor and a privilege for me to stand before you tonight, especially as someone who has served on the Superintendent Student Advisory Council for the past two years. I mean, let's be real here. The cookies they provide are to die for. On a serious note, this amazing council has educated me on the complex requirements imposed on district operations and
037allowed me to voice my concerns and have a direct say on the impactful choices that the district makes. But we don't just offer blind advice. Under the nurturing guidance of Dr. Deator and other members of district leadership, we have discussed campus safety, academic goals, district employees roles and responsibilities. I was able to truly learn and appreciate how the district functions as a whole. But why is having student input important? Elevating student voice and district decision-making is not just important, it's essential. After all, we students are the ones most directly impacted by school policies. Our perspectives can help shape those policies, ensuring that they meet the real needs of our student bodies. For instance, our experiences do not only exist within the confines of the classroom. They extend far beyond school life impacts our decision-making, social
038interactions, and even our mental well-being when we step off campus. When students share their lived experiences, we shine a light on challenges and opportunities that could imp that could improve school decisions and student performance. By doing this, we help leaders make more informed and responsive decisions that truly affect student needs. One crucial aspect I have defined is the need for more guidance from upper classmen. As a freshman, I struggled with the social dynamics of high school and balancing my different activities. So, if I could give advice to incoming freshmen, it would be live life in a system that often prioritizes academics and college admissions. Do make time for yourself for fun. There will always be time for academic excellence, but join the activities you love and live a life that you won't regret looking back
039on. My TA in AP world history class had a great analogy. Imagine staying up late scrolling on your phone and waking up exhausted the next morning. Don't let high school feel like an aimless scrolling of activities. Let us walk across that graduation stage proud of the hard work we've invested in achieving our goals, but also inspired to embrace a life filled with balance and enriching connections that will carry us forward in our future. I am honored to have the to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Delator and many dedicated district employees this year. I am inspired by your continued visions to raise the bar for students education, work through challenges, and listen to our suggestions and keep our well-being at the forefront of your initiatives. Thank you for the strong leadership and wonderful
040support you have shown us. Thank you for an incredible year. Those were amazing, amazing speeches. Thank you so very much. Um, you are all incredible and I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with all of you this year, last year. Um, and Genevie, I'll have you for another two years. So, that that's wonderful. Maybe next fall is only time. That's right. That's right. Um, so I'm going to present uh the entire superintendent student advisory council with a certificate of appreciation and recognition. So I'd like at this time for all of the students to come up here uh front and center. And while you're doing that, I'm going to read to you what this says. and it says, "This is in recognition of your valuable contributions, dedication, and service to the Superintendent Student
041Advisory Council and San Marino Unified School District. Your thoughtful input and commitment to student voices have made a meaningful impact on our school community. With sincere appreciation, we commend your leadership and involvement during the 2024-25 school year. So, at this time, we're going to pass these out. Uh we're going to go ahead and pass these out and I'm gonna ask for um this wonderful student leaders to help me do that. get those passed out and then we can get the board of education in here. While we're doing that, um I would like to take this opportunity to thankful Outside Yeah. Let's get it home. [Music] You know what?

050I'm Kristen Gar, the committee chair for the renewal of Measure R. I'm here tonight to further encourage parents and members of the community to vote. As a reminder, Measure R provides 1.6 million in annual funding to pay for 11 teacher and counselor positions for our San Marino school district. It's set to expire next month. Election day is less than seven days away, June 3rd. Measure R needs 66.6 67% support to pass and we really need parents to get their ballots in. Recent parcel tax renewals in the Bay Area failed narrowly by 65% because parents didn't vote. As of our last update from Los Angeles County, less than 15% of registered voters have voted so far. only about 200 parents we need and we've got about 1,200 registered parents yet to vote. Every vote will really
051make a difference. Measure R is the only thing on the ballot this June, so it's easy to vote. As a reminder, you can vote in person at Huntington Middle School gym. It's open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on June 3rd from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you still have your ballot, you can also vote by mail. Simply find your ballot. Be sure to vote yes.

Uh, next let's go to the 11 uh information item 11A as usual. Major M up AP. Uh,
064thank you, President Chang, members of the board, student board member Khloe, and executive team. Since our board study session on May 13th, we have made meaningful progress in advancing the implementation of measure M. Excuse me. Based on the board's feedback, we are refining a multi-year bond issuance strategy that aligns with our educational priorities, fiscal responsibility, and regulatory requirements. To support the initial bond issuance, we have developed preliminary project budgets using the facility's master plan as our foundation. These early cost models are now being incorporated into a detailed implementation plan that will outline project sequencing, align timelines with bond cash flow, and define the overall delivery strategy. As part of this process, our bond program manager, CJ Nolan, has forecasted what can feasibly be completed by July of 2028 with estimated expenditures. This projection provides a
065strategic cushion for potential delays and ensures we can fully exhaust a first issuance of $40 million within the projected timeline. Also, in collaboration with CJ, we are evaluating bond accounting and project management software platforms to identify the best solution, ensuring strong financial reporting and full transparency. The district is working to engage approved architectural firms for early impact projects. So, um, with scheduled meetings and site tours, uh, coming up, additionally, CJ and I have scheduled meetings with our school principles later this week to gather sight specific input and additional feedback. Later tonight, I will present two resolutions for board action. The first resolution authorizes the county of Los Angeles to establish a tax rate for the measure M bonds and the second resolution authorizes the issuance and sale of the first series of measure M bonds.
066We remain we remain committed to keeping the board closely involved in this process as we continue to meet regularly with the board president and vice president to ensure alignment and timely decision-making. Updates on measure M progress will also continue to be posted on the district website under the measure M section. And that concludes ourformational update on measure M. Thank you. uh as I mentioned this as usual because I think this is very important uh the issue agenda so I insist uh each schoolboard meeting there is a update so so then we we can treat this transparent yeah because this taxpayer money yeah okay next let's go to the 11B 2024 to 25 PTA PTSA A site president report on the donated fund and the volunteer hour and the PTA council change changing of the GAR
0672025 to 20 26 officer. I would like to turning over to PTA Council President Marissa Kerry. I could call one of those kids up to give my speech for me. Great speakers. Um, good evening. Thank you for hosting PTH Changing of the Guard, where we acknowledge and hear from our outgoing PTA presidents and welcome our incoming presidents. I'm Marissa Kelly and I've happily served this year and will continue to happily serve next year as San Marino PTA council's president, helping alongside our incredible council board to advise our school's PTAs, though they were in such good hands with Kim Sutantio, Annie Tang, Erin Clity, and Lisa Wang this year. Council administered a successful reflections program led by Ivon Chang and our site chairs collecting almost 100 applications featuring our students artistic talents. We ran a wonderful
068founders day according by Ryan Zenady and Mandy Sabre where we celebrated our school and community volunteers and honored our high school students who received academic excellence awards for their exceptional essay submissions. Our PTAs have made a huge impact on our schools due in large part to a strong and valued partnership fostered by our district's administration. Along with many of our city's organizations, we have helped bridge bridge the gap for our schools, allocating millions of dollars and volunteer hours over the years to provide enrichment programs which would not be possible without our associations supported by our parents, staff, teachers, PTA boards, event chairs, and dedicated leadership. Not to mention our loyal community. some of whom no longer have children in our district but continue to give back. I can't brag enough about the outgoing presidents and
069couldn't be more impressed by their successors. They have faced challenges with grace, celebrated success humbly, engaging with new volunteers while embracing veteran help and have never rested on their laurels. Because of their dedication and drive to always do their best, our PTAs continue to make a difference and serve our ch our children by protecting their education and welfare. Speaking of our children's welfare, PTA also advocates for students when it comes to endorsing campaign measures that promote the well-being of children in areas like education, health, and parent involvement. Did you hear correctly that roughly only 200 to,200 San registered voters have cast their ballots for measure R? We need your help because every vote counts. If fewer people vote, it becomes more difficult to reach the required supermajority threshold. And we're not just uh pardon me.
070We're not just gathering support for 11.4 positions. Sorry emotional. We're fighting for our child's elementary school teacher, their middle or high school math and science teacher, their counselor, their library, and tech support. People who are devoted to San Marino and really care about our students. Losing any of them would be devastating. Please vote yes on measure R. Mail in your ballots and vote in person at the HMS gym by June 3rd. I'm sorry. I'd now like to invite this year's PTA presidents to come up to share highlights from their school year and introduce their successor successors. Starting with Lisa Wang. Oh boy. The kids did such a great job that I think I'm agreement with Marissa. they should continue to do our speeches as well. It's my pleasure to present the 2425 PTSA uh report
071for San Marino High School. In August, we welcome over 250 freshmen to campus. That's the largest that we had in a while. And our PTA volunteers helped with distribution of textbooks, uh photos, um moving the lines along, and the lines were quite long. In November, our annual parent party, the fee was the Hava Havana Knights, raised over $47,000. And this is without any fixed bit um fundraiser this year. And we donated $50,000 to support the 4A programs. PTA PTSA also supported the ASB, Link Crew, homecoming, and then the year lua that's coming up. We support our teachers wish lists and throughout the year um have various lunches, treats uh for our teachers through our teacher appreciation chair. We recognize two honorary service award recipient in March and just this month we recognized nine nine terrific
072Titans for their continuing volunteering at our high school. All volunteers logged over 50,000 volunteering hours and the granite chairs and the committee have been so busy at work throughout this year. A theme is Mario Kart in case you haven't heard. And I invite the community and everyone here for light up June 4th, Wednesday, next Wednesday. Hope everyone will be there. I also have a plug for measure R. Um, I know it's a little redundant, but this past year we the PTSA supported measure M, which passed in May, uh, November. I encourage everyone to get out and vote on June 3 or sending your B ball ballot by June 3. This is a super majority and so like you have heard throughout the evening, we need everyone's vote. I also wanted to take a moment to
073congratulate my son Jared and his class of 2025 on their success. This is an amazing class based on their chalk day photo from Dr. Wolf. Um I hope that they enjoy their upcoming prom. next week's activities and there's various um days of activities, the graduation and of course the grand night that the PTSA volunteers have been hard at work. Finally, I want to personally to thank my exec board, all the volunteers, businesses that donated their time and money to make the PTASA a success and for supporting our high school. We cannot do it without your support. It's been a privilege to be the president of the PTSA for the last two years and I'm so ready to pass the paton to our next year's president, Dr. Jackie Twan or uh HMSTA. Hey, good evening everybody.
074Okay. Um, our fabulous Huntington Middle School had a wonderful year. I had the honor of leading the Foxes forward this year as PTA president and with the help of our stellar executive board and our many event chairs HMS remains resilient. We open the 24-25 school year with our first day of days of school activities, including our new student orientation and new family orientations. This helps to transition our new students and families into the realm of middle school. A daunting feat that I feel HMS does beautifully. In September, PTIA organized our first of monthly monthly noontime fun activities for the students where they're joined in games, races, and general fun during their lunchtime during the recess topped with a yummy treat. In addition, we hosted our first of three sixth grade dances, which allowed our newest
075middle schoolers to let loose and have fun with loud music, food, activities, and friends, new and old. In October, we threw the most magical Hauntington breakfast with a Harry Potter theme and rose close to $70,000. After the new year, our PTA geared up for our parent party at the HBC and gathered a community of HMS parents for some money raising, friendly pickle ball playing, and big-time fun. In the spring, we hosted our first ever Fox Fun night for our spring fundraiser where our community of middle schoolers gathered for a a simulated game show and had a ball singing, eating, and competing against their peers. Toward the back end of the year, we got the honor or we got to honor our superstar volunteers during our HMS Halo Award awards where this year six very worthy
076recipients were recognized including our dynamic leader, Principal Mary Hazellet, whom I had the tremendous honor of working closely with all year. HMS is so lucky to have such a dedicated and experienced leader. I wanted to thank her personally for her patience and guidance with me all throughout the year. Um, our PTA also had the honor honor of spoiling our tremendous HMS staff during staff appreciation week. We hosted a full week's worth of goodies, meals, and gifts uh for our incredible hardworking teachers, administrators, and staff. With the funds that were raised in the beginning of the year, it's clear that our community admires and adores our teachers so much and that we have the most gracious families who deeply care about their children and the experiences and enrichment they have here at school. Moreever, the general
077volunteerism this year at HMS was stunning. With over 90 9,400 hours logged, we are able to support our many schools activities, leadership, and fundraisers. And the generosity does not stop there. This year, Huntington Middle School PTA allocated $90,000 to fund our outdoor education, uh, transportation, school software, campus beautifification, VAPA, athletic and academic team support, and much more. Thus, it is my sincere pleasure to introduce the next year's PTA president for Henry E. Huntington Middle School, Mrs. Ryan Zeni. He is a veteran to the PTA and I speak for myself and everyone at HMS and Valentine when I say that we are so comforted that this that that this school will be in such capable and warm and friendly hands next year. The 2526 school year is going to be fabulous. Thank you. [Laughter] Oh, I
078also wrote this 40 minutes ago. I actually forgot about this meeting. Um, and it's and this goes to to speak a lot about the amount of support that I received from all the presidents um this year from all the different sites, from Marissa, from all the past presidents um at Carver. I mean, within minutes of me lamenting about how I didn't even know I had to speak tonight, I had two past president speeches in my inbox and then I had Katherine and Jackie ready to send me theirs, too. I mean, it's a service even better than chat GPT. Um, but truly, this year went by like a blur. Um, I can't believe it's already the end of the year. Um, and we had an incredible 2024 2025 school year with over 815 kids, which is
079the largest it's been since I've been there. Um, and we've accomplished so many amazing things. Um, our parent party raised the most money in the recent years. Um, our parking spots went for over $20,000 just like back in the olden years when Jackie Jackie charged parent party. Uh, our parents kept our social calendar uh super packed. They hosted over 40 fixed bid parties uh throughout the year. That's more than a an event a week throughout the entire school year. um including a dad's poker night that raised more than $20,000 in that one night. Go dads. Um we had not one but we had three book fairs and a total of over $16,000 that were uh donated to our teachers for their classroom libraries as well as to our Carver library. Uh this year we had
080a lot of weather challenges. Our uh Carver picnic had to be rescheduled due to the heat wave, but families showed up in droves and supported the event. Our danceon had to be rescheduled due to rain. Um and yet it raised a record-breaking amount of $60,000. um our carnival, it was pouring rain that day, but our Carver families and the community showed up um and brave the torrential downpour and we still raised the most money out of any carnival in the history of Carver. So, our historians calculated um that our families put in 48,645 hours and our net proceeds from donations and fundraisers is nearly $440,000 this year. And through fall and spring allocations, we allocated over $45,000 to support various enrichment programs um and uh our STEM programs and so much more. Um and all
081this is to say that Carver is magical. [Laughter] The community is is very supportive, is strong, and our families have a common goal to make our kids education a priority. Uh we recently had a game show assembly for our fourth and fifth graders. Um and it's called Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? and our pioneers had the opportunity to showcase all they've learned uh throughout the year um as they answered the multiple choice questions that were from their curriculum. And at one point it was team parents versus team kids. And needless to say, the kids won. Um and it wasn't because we were letting them win. If you know me, I don't I don't like to lose. So I wouldn't let them win. So we actually really tried hard to not to not lose.
082But they they still won. I mean, our kids are smart. Uh our kids are loved. Uh our kids thrive at Carver. And that's all thanks to our wonderful teachers, our wonderful principal. Um the staff, the amazing staff, and the leadership at this school district. So, thank you so much. Um, coming up here tonight is a it's a little bit bittersweet because I truly did have the greatest time this year being Carver president. Um, I feel like my greatest accomplishment was not losing the president's pin, which I was told was the original pin. And we were the only school site that has the original pin from I don't know, it's got to be 50, 60 years now. Um, and so I just want to put on record that I did not lose it. So it's on
083going on to Kathy. Um, luckily my child is going to be in fifth grade next year. Um, I know that Kathy's theme next year is Carver is awesome. So luckily I'll still be around and begging Kathy to continue to let me help out and be involved because I know that she will do great things. Right. Thank you so much. I had the honor of leading Valentine Elementary as the PTA president this year. With the dedication of an outstanding executive board, event shares, and parent volunteers, Valentine continues to thrive as a vibrant, supportive school community. At Valentine, we cherish our traditions while also embracing new ideas and improvements. We kicked off the school year with our beloved first day of school activities, which included our popsicle social, kindergarten TK welcome wagon, and orientations for both new
084and returning families. In September, we welcomed families onto campus for lunch with the loved one. It was a heartwarming to see families spread out, picnic blankets, and share lunch with their students. And some even jumped into a game of handball before heading back to work. In October, we had our fall fair themed dream big, shine bright Vikings. Students went on a galactic adventure in the bounce houses, carnival games, and sweet treats. We wrapped up the month with Red Ribbon Week featuring a thrilling BMX bike performance. The week emphasized the importance of making healthy, positive choices and prioritizing mental and physical well-being. In November, we took a time to reflect and to celebrate. We honored eight veterans, fathers and grandfathers of our Vikings during our annual Valentine Veterans Day assembly. Later that month, our book fair
085kicked off with our donuts at dawn, and our families generously donated over 500 books to classroom libraries and valent and our Valentine library. Students were excited to fill their home bookshelves with new reads. We ended 2024 with our heartwarming winter music program capped off with our fifth graders moving performance of Let There Be Peace on Earth, a beautiful reminder of unity and kindness. In February, we opened our doors to students displaced by the Eden fires. As a parent, I was deeply proud to see our Valentine Vikings extend compassion and empathy, helping new classmates adjust, navigate campus, and feel welcomed. It was a true demonstration of our heart values at Valentine. With support of the Chinese Club of San Marino, we celebrated Lunar New Year with student crafts, a staff lunchon, and captivating student performances featuring
086traditional dances and martial arts. We also showed our love for reading with our readathon, and our students read an impressive 97,140 pages over a period of five days. One of the most exciting milestones this year was the formation of Valentine's very first student council made up of our amazing fourth and fifth graders. The PTA was thrilled to partner with the council on their very first project, a schoolwide food drive to support Friends Indeed Food Pantry in Pasadena. And wow, did our Vikings truly rise to the occasion. Together, our students donated over 2500 items. It was an inspiring display of kindness, teamwork, school spirit that made our whole Valentine community proud. In March, it was filled with celebration and connection. Our Valentine homecoming parent party at the University Club of Pasadena was a night to remember.
087So much fun that the staff had to gently nudge us out at the end. The evening raised important funds for our school while bringing our community closer together. And then we ended the month with the spring music perform program by our talented third through fifth grades. A touching start to saying farewell to our fifth grade class. In March and April, the Valentine PTA proudly launched two new programs, Proud to be Me and Multicultural Night. Proud to be me aimed to build awareness and compassion around disabilities and differences and themed literature during lit library time and multi-ensory stations during grade level PE. Multicultural nights invited families to celebrate their heritage through interactive displays, vibrant presentations, and hands-on activities that brought their cultures to life. from traditional foods and music to art, clothing and stories, showcasing the
088incredible diversity within our school community. As we wrapped up the year, we celebrated innovation with the Valentine Engineering Fair, the Great Expedition. Students collaborated to design and build devices to safely land an egg, a fun and educational challenge. We also held our staff appreciation week and our cherished Mayday celebration where we honored our amazing volunteers with Heart of Gold awards. If that wasn't enough, we just concluded our annual jogathon. Together, our Vikings ran 604 miles or 7,900 laps. None of these PTA events would have been made possible without the continued dedication and volunteerism of Valentine Parents. This year, we clocked in over 47,000 volunteer hours. But the generosity does not stop there. Thanks to our successful fundraising efforts, we are able to continue to provide vital resources and programs to our students in the upcoming
089202425 year. We will continue to offer PTA's wide range of enrichment events and programs in addition to music classes and the fifth grade band and orchestra program. the gateway to the music program at HMS. Every year, every class will benefit from three dedicated STEM sessions throughout the school year, and our classes will continue to benefit from the PTA sponsored field trips for both on and on off-campus. Additionally, we will continue to allocate funds to support our health clerk, our three noon time aids for lunch, and one part-time librarian on campus. and we continue to invest in essential technology upgrades for our Valentine staff, including new portable sound system for our PE department. I would al also like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Principal McAlpine for her commitment to excellence that
090has shaped a positive and productive learning environment for students and staff. It has been a privilege to work with her and it is my pleasure and honor to continue serving for one more year as the PTA president of Valentine Elementary and I cannot wait after the summer when I get a break um to see what our incredible Valentine community will be able to achieve in the year ahead. Thank you. So uh is that uh incoming uh president want to say something or like Oh no. Okay. They have to officially change. Yes. All right. Cam, you get to change seats with yourself circle.

Sounds like the voice of experience. All right. Thank you, President Chang, members of the board, Dr. Delator, and cabinet. Um, before I begin my presentation, I wanted
093to say something too about the student advisory uh council students that spoke. Um 30 years ago I left a career as an assistant city manager to become a teacher and then a principal obviously and I did that mostly in um poor underserved communities on purpose. And I have to say when you all hired me two years ago I had some second thoughts about am I going to make a difference in a community like this where students are just successful anyway. And hearing those kids totally reaffirmed why I wanted to come here and I that's just it was just amazing to hear them to know that those kids are going to go out and become leaders in our country and have a much larger effect on our society than any one individual school that any of
094us could could work in. And so that was amazing. So thank you Dr. Teleator for creating that and bringing those kids here. And of course, this evening's presentation. I'm thrilled. This is the second year I've gotten to do this. And as great as our numbers were last year, they are better this year. And so, this is just a summary. Um, but I did send Dr. Delator already a much more complete list of uh schools that students applied to, got accepted to, weight listed to, etc. So, I'm sure she can share with you that that the detailed spreadsheet. Um, I'm just going to give you an overview. Okay. Um, I won't read every one of these. I want to talk about kind of the larger actions that our counseling department has taken uh that I believe
095have directly led to the success that we've had the last couple of years. And really the biggest one is the work on essays. So, I can tell you that in my 20 years as a principal, I have spoken to countless college recruiters and every time I've always heard the same things. Um, in fact, a very, very close friend of mine is a current recruiter for Georgetown, and I just met with her this year to kind of get her insights on what they were looking for. And they actually, Georgetown still interviews students. Um, and so there was a lot of good insights, but she didn't tell me anything that we haven't really known already in the last couple of decades. That grades are becoming meaningless, that millions of kids have 4.5 GPA because of the grade
096inflations that advanced placement has brought. um that there's no shock that wealthy communities with students with high GPA exist. And so they can't use that as a determination for getting into college. They have to look for other things. And what schools are looking for is that thing that stands out in a student that makes them different. Um and that's all encompassed in the essay. Unless they get a school like Georgetown that is still doing interviews, the essay is the only opportunity a student has to present their case for why they should stand out and be accepted at that university. And far too often students don't have the experiences necessary in in order to write an essay like that. Um, and so it's our job to help give those give them those experiences. And one of
097those ways is through the workshops that our counselors do and the outside people that we bring in do. Um, and those are all wonderful because we can tell students exactly what I'm telling you now. But you can't make up experiences for students. Um, and so that's why I'm really happy to say that after two years of talking to a lot of people about this, next year we are going to offer an alternative community service uh opportunity for students. uh we're not taking away the original although I am increasing the hours so that the alternative is more um um palatable for students. Um but they can gain their community service through a shorter number of hours but those hours all have to be at one place working on one project that makes a difference in people's
098lives. Um, far too often the community service hours that our students doing are things that help us out. So, we bribe them, like working at the Huntington breakfast or helping a teacher with an event on campus. And those things are super valuable, but not in a college essay. Um, we want them to go and make a difference in somebody's lives or in a community out in a community, uh, actually accomplishing something, starting a business, helping a charity, etc. doing their entire project with one group of people. So, they will have that option starting next year. Uh, and we're hoping that that will even help our students even more be able to write about some unique experiences. Okay. So, last year our UC attending rate uh was pretty good. Uh, it's about the same right now.
099So, the percentage of our students that actually end up attending one of the UC campuses is uh about 22%. Um, our attending rate for private California colleges has gone up a little bit. Um, and I should state that I don't have three columns on here because we'd be doing that every year. It get harder to read. But all of the 2024 numbers were larger than 2023 and most of the 2025 numbers have gone up again. um the attending rate of privates from outside of California dipped a little, but that's because you can see how much more popular some of the out of California public schools have become. Um and you can see the the increase in students who have decided to attend uh schools like um Ohio State or the University of Miami public public
100schools outside of California has gone up quite a bit. Um and our community college percentage has stayed the same roughly. uh it's gone up 1%. We also know from interviewing these students that 100% of those 20% intend on transferring to a four-year college when they're done with their two-year degree. Okay. Now, you can see some really dramatic differences. Our acceptance rates at the UC's um is that's incredible. Um it doesn't mean that every one of those students decided to attend, but for our students who did apply to a UC campus, um the percentage of them who are getting accepted is quite high. Um also the acceptance rate at California private schools has gone up again quite a bit this year. Um and the acceptance rate of outside of California private schools. And then as you
101saw so many of our students attending outside public schools outside of California, not not only have their acceptances gone up, but the attending uh is going up in those. So really, really big dramatic wonderful increases. And all that this means is because all of our students got accepted into wonderful schools last year, this just means they had more choices this year that they got accepted into more of the schools they applied to and were able to make a choice. Um so you can see uh pure numbers there for uh students who applied to UC and all of our other categories. Um again this is fantastic. Uh more students are applying to more schools um and having more choices. So there's the uh UC acceptance rate at the all the UC campuses. And you can see,
102as you heard tonight, we have a lot of students going to Berkeley next year. And our acceptance rate to Berkeley is almost double the UC average for the for the entire country. So we are going to be represented in Berkeley really well next year. Uh and then you can see all the other various um colleges uh in the UC system there. And uh there's so many different reasons why some schools are higher than others. Um but there are they are interesting numbers uh to look at. Um but you can see for most of these schools we're we're well ahead of the UC acceptance rate for those campuses. All right. And then here is uh some of the highlights of the universities that our students were accepted into this year. So last year we had a
103really high number of acceptances and attending for the Ivy League. This year we had one fewer acceptances but one more student who's attending. Um and then we actually uh when we see the um servicemies later on which many people will put up there in prestige with Ivy's we actually had even one more student who was accepted but has made a different choice. So we've had a lot of students this year going to the nation's top universities. All right. And then here's uh a collage of all of our various colleges that had kind of the largest numbers for uh applications, acceptances attending. Um so Stanford uh we have two students attending next year. Syracuse we have two. So both those universities went up. Um Notre Dame, sorry that was just for Mrs. Ryan, but uh and
104I don't know how it got on the same page with USC. just that's got to be a mistake. Um, and of course we have six students including uh Ben who spoke earlier who you know really smart kid obviously because he's picked USC. All right. Um Michigan Berkeley obviously you can see really high and we had six last year we have 11 this year. UCLA. I'm not sure why that's on here, but uh no, UCLA obviously this UCLA, the interesting thing about UCLA is it's got to be the best bargain for one of the best universities in the world. The academic uh um program at UCLA is really one of the best in the country and then to only have to pay the really an amazingly cheap still UC uh rate. Um so uh it's become
105extremely difficult to get into UCLA. So, I'm really happy that we have the same number of students this year. Uh, and we had more acceptances, which again just shows you if we had 13 acceptances and the attending stayed the same, that means a bunch of students had other really great choices that they decided to go with. Um, TUS, uh, really interesting that we have California kids that apply to TUS. Penn State, uh, same as last year, but again, way more acceptances. Um, but we do have a student attending Penn State. Uh, Ohio State was the same number of acceptances last year. Um, hopefully the reason why nobody's attending Ohio State is all those students went to USC. No. All right. Uh, Nor Eastern. Um, another very prestigious university that a lot of times students don't
106think about until they start hearing um, presentations from from some of our uh, the the visitors that come on our campus. Um, but 17 acceptances this year. um fewer decided to go, but again more acceptances, which again shows you how many choices that a lot of these students had. Um NYU, another amazing school, another amazing experience to go to school in New York City. Um and again, our acceptances were up. Um Purdue, I always find interesting that we have so many students that apply to Purdue. And again, our acceptances are up this year for Purdue. Um, and Caltech, um, we don't have any students that are attending Caltech this year, but we do have students that apply, and we always want to put that on there because of of our program with Caltech. Uh, Duke,
107um, getting a lot of, uh, applications. Um, it'd be interesting to hear from somebody at Duke to see if they're looking for something different because we have had a lot of applications and and no acceptances and only one last year. So, I' I'd love to make a connection with Duke if anybody knows anybody that uh that is in North Carolina. Um, and then Welssley, uh, another very prestigious school and we have we had one acceptance and one student attending this year. Uh, MIT, uh, awesome that we do have a student attending MIT this year. Um and then the military academyy's three acceptances which is really phenomenal for a school as small as San Marino High School to have three students that not only had to go through um getting accepted through the rigor but the
108application process and having a you know having somebody like a US senator support your application um it it's a lot of work and to have three people uh accepted and two are attending and I have to say the one student who has chosen not to is taking a full ROC scholarship at um Yale. Okay. So, I think we could probably forgive her for not attending West Point, right? And she's still going to become a second lieutenant when she graduates um college and will also have the Yale uh name on her resume when she goes out into her career after the military. And that's it for my report. Thank you very much. Any question? Okay. Thank you for Dr. Wolf. Okay. Uh, next 11D. Uh, first reading of P policy 6173 education for homeless children. I
109would like to turn it over to Dr. Lina Richtor for a first reading of four policy 6173 education for homeless children. Thank you, President Chang, members of the board, student board member to last meeting together. Um, Superintendent Dr. Delator and Executive Cabinet, presented to you tonight is the first read for board policy 6173, the education for homeless children. This update is in compliance with CSBA, the California School Board Association and Gamut and directly aligns with SMUSD's administrative regulations for six board uh AR 6173. Um salient updates to board policy 6173 include the addition of goals and actions in the LCAP specific to improving student outcomes for districts that have identified and enrolled 15 or more homeless children. A regular review of the homeless policies by the superintendent or designate to ensure removal of any barriers
110that result from including but not limited to absences, retention or any type of outstanding fee, a designated homeless liaison for homeless children, identification of homeless students, and pursuant to ED code, administration of an annual housing questionnaire, excuse me, questionnaire for easy and ample identification. ation homeless liaison contact information and other pertinent information as required by ED code posted on our district website. Information and materials for homeless students provided in an understandable manner and in a language that is appropriate to each student and family. Annual professional development for the district lea liaison and related staff. And lastly, annual reporting of homeless students to the CDE and the board of education. I want to just quickly mention that these updates are already in place. Staff is recommending that the board update the policy to include these updates
111and remain compliant. This is the first read that's being presented to the board for review and staff will be bringing this item back to the board with a recommendation for adoption at the next regularly scheduled board meeting. Any question? Uh I have questions. So uh what's the definition of homeless uh children? So according to the McKenna Vento Act which is a federal law their definition is um students who lack a fixed or regular and adequate nighttime resident. So a place where a student doesn't have permanent a student who does not have a permanent place to rest their head at night. [Music] So like they might be on a couch, they might be at grandparents, maybe living with an aunt or living with another family, a hotel, a car, they may be doubled up with a
112family member. Yes. They don't have a permanent housing situation. You you said a hotel you mean within San Marino? Yes. But we don't have any in San Marino. Our homes are motions. So mean uh but that is the federal definition of a homeless suit. So mean the for those children if they stay in the motel outside of a school district we still accept. No because that hotel or motel is not within our school district bounds. It would have to be within our boundaries. Okay. Any Any more questions? How many have we um determined that we have now? So, this requires 15 or more to be included in the ELCAP. We currently have students who are up with their families. Um you know, similar to what happened during the fires are are covered under McKenna Vento
113and considered. So, so okay. So, three more students would u trigger this, but then we have to hire a um homeless liaison. That would be me and Miss Claudia Velasquez. I was going to say, could somebody else overation? Okay. Absolutely. Okay. Wonderful. Yes. And as Dr. Delatory mentioned, um a few of those are the result of the families that have been impacted by the fire. Understandable. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Uh this uh first reading uh no action. Okay, let's go to the 12 action item. A app a pool of Sanino Unified School District Sunshine proposal with the Sanino Teacher Association. Dr. Jensen Rose.

I was just wondering about the amount, the 105 million, what that pertains to, if you wouldn't mind because I it doesn't correlate to um the 40 million Dr. Troy talked about. Yeah. Well, it's really late and I was hoping you would miss the typo. Um, the typo should be 200 million. I take responsibility for
120that. We'll fix it before we submit it. Okay. Okay. Move to approve with the um the amended amount in of 200 million. Second. Is that this amended? That's what you're Okay. The amended amount. Yeah. That's a typo that he's going to fix before it's signed. Yes. Good. I read that earlier and I thought I didn't know if we were going to start with 100 first. like we had kind of talked about phasing it out but no the that's the authorization which is 200 million. The first issuance in the next res is going to be 40. Okay. So you're right. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Paying attention. Yeah. Okay. Uh there's a motion and any second. Okay. Roll call. Uh Mrs. Lamb I. Mrs. Ryan I. Mrs. Gear I. Mr. Chen I and M. T I motion
121carry. 12E resolution number 17 authorization to issue and sale up to 40 million in general obligation bound 2024 election 2025 series A and authorizing other document and related action. Uh I would like to turn it over to Steven Choy. Thank you President Chang. Item 12E is an action item requesting approval of resolution 17. This resolution authorizes the the district to proceed with the issuance of the first 40 million in measure and bonds. To guide this initial issuance, staff created preliminary project budgets informed by the facility's master plan. These early cost models are being incorporated into a comprehensive implementation plan that will define project sequencing, align timelines with bond cash flow, and establish the district's overall delivery strategy. Again, we are joined this evening by Mr. Dr. Sam Santana of DWK and Kristen Gar of Piper
122Sandler who are available to provide any additional context and respond to any questions. It is recommended that the board of education approve resolution 17 to proceed with the first issuance of measure M bonds. Uh hold on. So since you are here would you mind maybe uh summarize those the point before we sign? Yes. So we have to pay attention. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I think we we I feel like we saved the most exciting items for last. So, uh, thanks for all your attention to these matters and and obviously Kristen's here for any of the number questions. But, um, you know, essentially this resolution is the first issuance. It's going to authorize the first issuance of the bonds. As we pointed out, $200 million were authorized in November by the voters. And this resolution is authorizing
123the issuance of $40 million uh in series A bonds. And then those bonds are going to be used for the construction program um of the district that's going to be run um by uh Dr. Troy and and the consultants. Um and you know it's very straightforward reso this is approving the issuance the bond purchase agreement and related documents that are going to be uh developed over the coming months and eventually uh paid for and bought by uh Piper Sandler as the underwriter for the bonds and then uh deposited with the county treasurer. So once tonight we approve and then you guys will start to to find the Yes, we'll start we'll starts the process uh with developing the issuance documents moving towards a close and then on that closing date the $40 million would be
124wired to the appropriate accountant. So, do we have an idea how long can uh get process? Um, I can't remember the closing date. Do you remember early July? So, a couple of months to get all the documents drafted, reviewed. We're going to get all the typos out this time and uh then signed and delivered. So and meet with the credit rating agency uh issue the offering statements etc. So for the month of July so fate ray uh there's still uncertainty. So is that that's where co cost some uh the big difference or even sure interest rate questions are I think it as we've seen um there is a lot of uncertainty out there uh interest rates move every day and that's something that we can't control. I think what we have going for us for
125San Marino Unified is we have a really strong credit rating. Um, and we are getting in with your authorization and your approval of this resolution tonight. I know uh next step uh week after next is when we're meeting with the credit rating agency with Moody's that process uh is where Dr. Choy and potentially superintendent deatory will help present to the rating agency. That process takes a week. So there are a few there are some steps that are required in order for us to then enter the market. Um but we will certainly be keeping a close eye in terms of timing trying to schedule our sales so we don't have other competing highly rated bond sales um around that time. But I think like I had mentioned before what we really have going for us is
126our our strong credit rating. um we don't we can't necessarily control how interest rates will will move and what the Fed will do, but um we're going to try to move as quickly as possible to mitigate interest rate risk. Thank you. Any more question? Okay. If not, do I have a motion to resolution number 17, authorization to issue and sale up to 40 million in general obligation bound? So moved second local Mrs. Lam I. Mrs. Ryan I Mrs. Gear I Mr. Chen I and Mr. Ta I motion carry very exciting. It is. Yeah.
