004you all the amazing things that we do at John Mir. So, we're going to start with our agriculture and the agriculture program. It's our second year of the agriculture program. We have had a whole bunch of different things. You can see we had some kids get a very limited experience to welding just a little bit but a trying to do that and we're trying to build that. They got a lot of field trips and a lot of different aspects. They roast chickens. We had emus briefly. We've had a lot of different experiences. Um moving on to ASB. ASB ran all of our rallies, dances, volunteered on the JMMS campus, and also were at trunk or treat. On next, we've got art, and these are some of the amazing pictures that our students have done.

But we also had a number of teams and I'm going to have to read it so I can get all of them that came in second. our boys soccer, our boys cross country, our girls track, our boys track, all placed second. So, another fabulous year in athletics. Our JV boys and JD girls soccer both came in second in a tournament at the end of the year. And

Last night, athlete awards were distributed where scholar athlete, class athlete, and overall athlete of the year was awarded. And our seniors are finishing up their last days in class in which they have been completing their finals this week. A few of our notable clubs on campus have been ending the year
008by recognizing the seniors with cords for graduation. In addition to club activities, mention will be holding a field trip this Friday in which we will be touring UCLA and having a ch be given a chance to have some fun at farm. We had the end of our end of the school year rally last Friday. We had lots of fun and our plan to exit the school year with with more fun. Last Thursday, on an exciting note, uh 10 of our high school seniors accomplished their associates degree through Lemore College through COS and Lemore College, many of which were able to work towards one or more degrees. I personally was able to graduate through Lemore College last Thursday with three associates degrees. It was amazing. Um, these final days will be of great importance to seniors.
009We'll be turning in electronics, finalizing credit recovery for some, turning in last minute work, and most importantly, cherishing our final campus moments. Uh, next week is expected to be very busy for our CHS students. Final schedules will uh final schedules will take course in which all classes will be completing their um finals. Graduation practice will occur alongside other undergrad activities. And at last, graduation will take place next week, Thursday, on June 5th. Thank you very much. Amazing. Can you talk that superintendent? Yeah, that's always a hard act to follow. Good evening, board president, members of the board, staff, and uh community. First, again, congratulations to Miss Glendo and all the students at the high school. I mean, it's again, it's amazing to see you're going to actually go visit your own campus on Friday. hate
010UCLA. And so, uh, UCLA is a very hard school to get into. And so, not only is it the school that she's going to go to there, but opens up the doors for post-graduate schools pretty much, you know, anywhere in the nation, right? So, it's just amazing to see our our students and kudos back to our teachers from all the way from Bret Hart all the way to the high school that create those conditions to have our students be successful, you know. So, I want to thank our teachers. I want to thank our classified staff because they do an amazing job, too, in preparing them. So, it's just great to see that. So, congratulations again. We're going to miss you being here and and being be able to provide that. So, it's the last six
011days of school. And so, a couple things I want to uh you know, let the board know about and as well as the community that's watching um you know, attendance and behavior are important to us. And so, you know, as it gets warm, we know that, you know, uh sometimes people also get warm in their their temperament. And so, we want to make sure that, you know, parents are we're encouraging parents to talk to their students. We're encouraging uh you know staff just to you know be mindful uh you know and making sure that the spaces are cool etc. Right. And then when it comes to graduation and promotion, those are fingers crossed, right? That we don't have the same weather like we did last year, but just in case if we do, we're already
012preparing for the worst case scenario, right? So last year we gave out waters, we had cooling centers, all that stuff. And I know in other districts, uh, they had concessions open charging for the water. Ours was, you know, there just to help the the community. So, you know, I know the community is very grateful for that. Um in addition to that we have a team uh that is currently working on a behavior academy uh plus and basically what that is is we know that students in the lower grades uh kinder TK kinder first have some uh sometimes come in with some behavior um you know needs right social emotional needs and so sometimes aren't ready for the the the general education classroom and so we keep put them still in a gen classroom but with
013a more emphasis on giving them the skill sets to be able to successful short term. And so we're looking at that right now. Uh we have a team that's visiting other districts and then they'll be uh you know uh providing recommendations on a framework etc for next year. And so that's in the works and that is b that is based off of feedback from our staff right what are we doing to ensure that we support every student right and that that's there. Um we're also aligning our instruction in K5 in LA. So we had wonders uh McGraw Hill come out and do training on Wonders 2023. both for our coaches and for our TE and they're going to be doing it for our teachers. Uh and so we want to make sure that everyone understands
014and it's been pretty much uh you know overall across the board met enthusiastically and um has a lot of great resources and so we look at our students being able to strengthen in their writing which is an area that we're going to focus on for next year um in addition to their reading. And so that's that's another piece that's been happening. Um again like I mentioned last time uh a focus on uh food and John Mir and the system changes. So we're we're looking at what is it systematically that we need to change. So uh you know the way that students are coming in uh trash cans being all in one area versus being spread out, people moving around, all those things we've been discussing and been implementing as well as uh correction on the
015spot. So you know kids are throwing food, they're going to be picking up the food right then and there and helping clean up the mess in the entire area, right? and still had their recesses etc. right there but you know we need to make sure that we have some some uh you know immediate action there. Um it's a week of festivities uh so our focus on student safety and respect and so you know we'll send out in the board update some of the the activities that be coming up this week uh this coming week on promotion graduation etc and so know that those will be there. Um and then as well um our baseball team is going to be uh in the belly championships on Friday. So for all of you who want to join
016and and cheer on our team, it's it's going to be uh this Friday at 4:00 at in Vicilia at uh Valley Strong Stadium. And so that's that's it's that's awesome. And then this is something uh that I wanted to show with the board. uh you know going to the uh to the u the VA music uh um I don't know what to call it but their their recital right they did an amazing job we have a kind of a good problem and this is based on your guys' uh investment in in the arts visual performing arts the kids are almost not fitting on the stage anymore because we have so many students in both programs and so and that's not including the feeder right from the elementary so we see that there's a strong push,
017right, in in music. And so we know that there's a couple teachers coming through and so that that's all amazing. And so just excited about that. And they sound great. You know, the this even the middle school, there's they're sounding really good. So those teachers doing a great job. And then um last but not least, uh we have in our audience today, I want to welcome Dr. Lisa Vargas who's going to be our new assistant superintendent. So just want to welcome her as she's joining us starting next week. With that, I yield back my time president. order of trustees. Um, I've attended a few softball games, baseball games. I'm excited for Friday. Um, how many years has it been since finally? 13 14 years maybe. It's up on that press box. Okay, that's going to
018be so awesome um to bring another one home. Um, I'm claiming it. Not saying good luck. We're claiming it. Um, excited for graduation coming. Um it's going to be very emotional um for all parents and seniors. Uh but I'm very excited about everything that we've been doing um throughout the entire school year with our students and seeing all of the arts and the sports just grow. And I love how the high school athletics has just come to a different level. Um last night's event I wasn't able to attend, but I watched it on the YouTube channel. It was amazing um to see everything that how we're progressing and how we're really emphasizing on the student athlete as well. So, thank you. Um I was fortunate to attend the FFA um invite the banquet that they
019had and again the kids the things that they're doing. and I sit back and I wonder what how did they get to be involved in so much and then last nights with the sports uh again these kids are involved in five to six sports and they still have maintained a 4.0 you know, and so it's amazing. It really is. And I want to say thank you, not as Teresa, the super the president, superintendent. I'm promoting myself, but Teresa the mom, you know, I don't know why she started with that. Okay, it's going to get very emotional. It's coming week, but as as the mom, I want to say thank you for all of you guys for all the hard work that you do. I know that it sometimes it goes unnoticed, but you are with
020our kids so long so much and you provide so much guidance and so I know they're going to be so good in the future. Uh this little girl here has my heart too. So thank you everybody and the community. We couldn't do it with the community without the community members here because they all support us. They've always been around for us. We have our Quantis members in attendance every single week and they know that they I know that they hound all of you principles like what have you guys got going on? What do you guys need? And so I really do appreciate the community the way that comes around. So thank you so much everybody. Thanks a lot. I I too have privilege of seeing some good baseball this week and um I also attended
021the FFA banquet and so proud of all those kids and some of them got so many rewards that I kind of felt sorry for him having to walk up there time and time again which was very pleasing.

Consider the approval of the annual self evaluation of the California State Preschool Program for Corporate Unified School District. And I believe Miss Rese have a brief comment for us. A brief report. Yeah, she's coming up. She's gonna just give a quick overview of what that is. Hi, good evening board. Um, so this is an annual self- evvaluation that we have to do as part of the California State Preschool Program. Um, it's just a survey on our program. So, I sit with my site supervisor um and staff and we look at things that are mandated by the the California State Preschool system. So, we have to look at are we in ratio? Um, are we using evaluation tools that the state says
023we have to and um it's just a a a tool that we have to fill out every year, but it's an opportunity for us to grow, too. So, it's not an I got you. It's really take a look at your program and if there's an area of improvement, what are you going to do to fix it? So, for example, last year an area of growth for us was um outreach to the community for services that we are able to provide for families. And so, we came up with um a way to resolve that. And so, this year we we meet standards for that. So, that's that's what it is. Any questions? Questions? Okay. Thank you very much. Do I have a motion to approve the administration? I move to approve. I'll second. No discussion. Roll
024call. Sandra. I. Sammy. Hi. Patty. I. Valerie. Hi. And I. Resolution consider approval resolution 1399 developer fee justification study. Miss Alvarez. Good evening. Um, the state authorizes the collection of developer fees to assist in providing adequate school facilities and there was an increase to their level one rates that we do charge and school works has completed a justification study to assess what rates we would be able to charge and we do have Mr. Reynolds available to present that study. Second Good good evening. Can you hear me? Okay, Ryan, you're good. Fantastic. Thank you so much for having me here tonight. Um, please pardon any uh connection issues. We've been having a little bit of a issue today. Um, but I've got a quick little presentation to share um to go over the um developer fee
025study that we put together. Let me uh bring that up real quick. Uh developer fees are a common source to help pay for school facility projects and most districts do collect them. Um the uh developer fee rate was increased in January 2024 by about 8% to the current rate of $5.17 for residential and 84 cents for commercial industrial projects. A brief overview of how these fees have been adjusted over time. Um, every two years, the state allocation board takes a look at the cost of school facilities and provides an inflation adjustment for level one fees. And so in 2024, it brought it to $5.17. Um the reasons we do level one studies uh every two to four years as the inflation inflation adjustments are approved by the state allocation board. We want to make sure
026that we can continue to justify collecting the new rates. Uh we use local student yield rates to determine the development impacts and monitor the volume of proposed developments and the size of the homes within those developments. We analyzed the capacity in the district to house students from those developments as well as looking at the facility needs um both new construction and uh modernization and then also looking at the where we want to spend the fees making sure we keep that list up to date. Some of the major factors that impact uh the level one fee amounts are the square footage of the planned homes within the district which based on the information we could find is about 1,900 square feet per new home. We take into account local land costs and the facility modernization needs
027of the district. We determined that the student yield rate from new housing units for your district is 761 students per housing unit, which is significantly higher than the state average. And most of the districts that we work with um are much are a little bit lower than the state average. um we take into account the space available in existing schools and uh I don't have a lot of the calculations here in this presentation but they are available in the study provided uh based on all of the factors we determined a need of $9.13 per square foot uh from new new construction and so that justifies collecting the $5.17 uh This is just a list of the allowed uses of level one developer fees. Uh you can use it for new schools, additions to existing schools,
028uh portable replacement projects, uh modernizing and upgrading schools, uh purchasing land for new sites if needed or land to expand existing sites, as well as the planning costs for facility projects. After approval of the study, uh there is a 60-day waiting period before the new rates go into effect. The study does not have an expiration date, but should be updated to account for the newest enrollment trends and facility needs when the rates are adjusted. Next, based on the construction rate and the size of the units and this new fee amount, we estimate just under $100,000 of developer fee collections a year. And with that, I will open it back up for any questions. Thank you, Ryan. So, with that, the uh item provided in the packet, resolution 1399, would be adopting the developer fee justification
029study and increasing the level one fee for our district. Do I have a motion to approve the resolution? And a motion to approve. A second. Any discussion? Sandra. Oh, sorry. Roll call. Sandra. I. Sammy. I. Patty. I. Valerie. I. And I consider the approval resolution 1400 SAV authorization. And that's Miss Alri again. Yes. Thank you. So this resolution and the next one are um both connected. It is related to the school facility program where we are able to apply for funds related to new construction and modernization. In order to submit that application, we do need to um have this resolution that acknowledges the compliance with the uh 1999 act, the Greeny School Facilities Act. And then additionally the other resolution 1341 that would um allow us to submit an application for the high school science
030modernization project. Make a motion to approve. Are we approving one at a time would be my question or all together? That would be okay. That was good because I was seeing there she said it was together. So apologies. Yes. Just letting you know that they are related. But thank you. Okay. So, I'm sorry, Sammy. That was motion. Second. Thank you. Roll call. Sandra. Hi, Sammy. Hi, Patty. I Valerie. I And I consider the approval resolution 1401 CHS science modification SPF application and motion to approve. Any discussion? Roll call.

So that's what it's going to be used for. Do I have a motion to approve? I have a motion to approve. I second. No, you did you get Okay. The um the pathways grant was that already approved?
