Oh, my name is Taylor Grunder and I'm thrilled to talk about the events and activities that have been going on as we close out the school year. Our robotics team, Gear Gurus, had quite the winning season, enough to travel all the way to Massachusetts to attend the world's competition. While they competed against 56 teams from 23 different states and three different countries, with their performance ranked in the top 1% in the world, our team showed that hard
016work pays off and brought home an inspired award to top it all off. Congrats to Gear Gurus and their adviser, Mr. Santana and Miss E. Each year, our film students have taken part of Directing Change, a statewide film competition to bring awareness to mental health issues and suicide prevention amongst teens. In previous years, we have won first in the county in multiple categories. And this year, not only does Men Sanders continue that trend, winning Fen County last Thursday at a ceremony at the Fox Cedar in Riverside, but her film I love your hair, a spoken word piece bringing light to the struggles of having your natural hair as your identity, won first place in the state under the hope and justice category and will be attending the statewide ceremony in Los Angeles on the 22nd
017of May to accept her award at the United Theater. We are super proud of all of Meen's accomplishments on our campus. Our amazing drama department recently put on a fantastic performance which they have been preparing for over the past few months. The dedication and talent from the cast and crew truly brought the story, The Little Shop of Horse, to life on stage. From the cool props on the stage to the singing, they truly knew how to work hard to produce something for an audience. A special thank you to Miss Perry for working countless hours to provide this production. We had another cool showcase on our spoken word night. A bunch of students bravely took mic to share their stories. poetry and experiences. It was a way for our students who have a talent for writing
018to showcase this to their peers. Also another way for students to share the experiences that they have gone through growing up. With the end of the year approaching, so did the end of our spring sports. Our student athletes are very impressive here on our campus as our baseball team took home the league championship title, making it to the first round of CIF where their season shortly came to an end. Our girls and boys swim team is placing high in their division with a couple kids going to CIF for individual events and relays eventually leading five girls to the CIF finals. Our tennis team is placing high as well in their league and going to round two of CIF. Our track team is taking it far as well having five athletes going to CIF. Girls lacrosse
019placed second and went to round two of CIF. Sun placed third in the season and went to round one of CIF. Finally, our boys volleyball went to round three of CIF. Prom was a huge success this year, a night filled with excitement, energy, and unforgettable memories. The venue was beautiful, and it was very on theme with the vintage Hollywood. It was a fun night where students came together to enjoy one last big event with their classmates. It gave everyone a chance to dress up, take pictures, and celebrate their journey through high school in a meaningful way. Here are a few of our upcoming events. Grind night May 22nd. Senior finals start May 30th. Senior checkout June 5th. Senior sunset June 6th, grad practice June 9th, graduation June 11th. This concludes our presentation. Thank you so

029PHST all because of the grace of Jesus Christ who I whom I accept as my savior and taking on the role of president for another term as according to his plan. Congratulations to Candace Reigns as she embarks on a new chapter in her life. We have shared many PRC meetings and many negotiation sessions together. I will always respect her very much for the work she's done. She's completely renovated several schools, bel built several schools, got pools at all the comprehensive high schools and been an important player of the cabinet for a very very long time. You will be missed. This year has been a strange year. Not a bad year, just a strange one. We have a lot of new people coming into leadership especially at the top and I'm hopeful and very excited that
030we're going to start with a very new cabinet, very new set of directors and that makes my heart happy. There are many things I'll be sharing with them about how they're coming into a pre-built family of employees. Students first is important, but you only achieve students first through your employees. The people who know the that the people who know the most that students come first are the ones in front of them every day and every hour of the year. New leaders would do well to remember this. We understand that new leaders are inherently that new leaders. It's not necessarily their job description to be teaching the students directly, but putting together policies and running the district in such a way as to promote the teaching and wellness for our students. So, a very important role
031as well. It will be your frontline educators, however, and employees that will be able to tell you what will work and what will not. It is also important to remember that educational leaders have a billion ideas and issues set in front of them on any given day. And with that in mind, please, as you're running the district, we ask that you continue to practice the art of prioritizing. What is important and what is not important because we have so much in front of us as leaders. For us, how your employees are feeling about their job because of decisions made at the top is a huge priority. The collective emotional workplace morale can make or break any organization, including a school district. Do you have employees that want to thrive and move the organization forward or
032do you or do they feel like they are just collecting a paycheck? This is not a commentary on which of these are happening. It's just the these are perspectives of what employees value. Some of us have been in the game for a while and seen quite a bit of both great things and shenanigans at the same time. I think I thank the teachers, ed educators, counselors, PSE members, CMI, CSA, and of course the administrators for the work they will do and will continue to do. Thank you for this time to speak. Thank you. Thank you, Jason. the 9.5 CSEA President Cynthia Navaro. Thank you. So, good evening, President Goss, board of trustees, superintendent, Dr. Ralph Cabinet, guest staff. All right. So, we continue to promote within which is great, especially with our workbased learning program
033coming through. we we've had, you know, a great pool of candidates and I'm just I we are saw someone from within and we're just very hopeful for the rest of the team to come to come through and so we're very excited about that. So negotiations update. All right, we're I wanted to say we have finalized 2425 but we just need to work on a little clause contract language. We're meeting on Friday and it should be it like our reopener should be done hopefully because wow man members aren't too happy. I do have to say that we weren't able to negotiate a salary increase like at all a bonus a 1% half a person nothing. So members are upset. They don't feel valued. And I just I have to stand here strong for them. And I
034will continue to advocate because that's what I signed up for to help to be a voice for them and I will continue to do so. I will share that the member said, "Let's go to Impass. Let's go. Let's do it." And I was like, "Yes, but we have to be strategic." You know, I'm learning as in this new role and in negotiations. I'm learning a lot and professionally and in my current education that I'm going through. I'm learning more and more. And I'm thankful because I've sat with Mr. Andrade and he's taken my hand and guided me, Dr. Aralo, Marabel, Miss Reigns. I'm so just appreciative of of his guidance and the collaboration. So, I just I do want to point that out. So we also have a couple of more on on the agenda
035today. So you know we're seeking your your support and your approval and then also for our IP or initial proposal for 2526 and we just hope for you know again a vote in favor for our successor agreement negotiations and always looking for that collaborative approach because we are all for that. And let's see what else. Okay, so this month was full of of celebrations with teacher appreciation week and of course this week CSW California School employee uh week and you know Mr. Stafford being a classified employee as well retired but you know you were a classified employee Mr. Garcia, you know, we celebrate each other. We celebrate ourselves. This week is all about us. And, you know, we were um I we gave our members a gift. It was a tumbler, like a coffee cup,
036and it said we work with class cuz we're classy, you know. So, they were just so we didn't know what to expect, and they were just so like, "Oh my god, this is so cool." And they just appreciate that token of of appreciation. And then also administrators at the different sites, they've been treating us every week with different things. So we are just feeling very special very special and we do feel very supported and value at the site levels. I think the concern is we are not truly feeling it district level. We are working on that. Um I signed up for this and said I wanted to bring the morale up within within the chapter but also I want to connect that to the district. So it is a work in progress. We are continuing
037to to work with that because you know classified employees we and we say it and but we do we do a lot campus supervisor stopping fights catching those kids being a guide for them a mentor custodians m changing light bulbs closing tickets tech I mean I couldn't you know I couldn't name it we go above and beyond we really do and same goes for certificated you know we we all have a piece in this puzzle and yeah so we'll continue to push through and I just look forward to all the exciting things coming to Paris Union with the online academy you know pending approvals of such and and new courses mariachi oh come on sign me up for that where was that when I went to parasite but I'm just hopeful so we're hopeful that
0382526 will bring you know ADA up and with Dr. Reg and all the all the things we have going. We're very excited. So, thank you again and have a good Thank you, Cynthia. 10.1 invitation to address the board of trustees. Non-aggendaized items. Are there any public comments on nonend items?

And moving on to oral or continuing now on oral reports 12.1 charter oversight and responsibilities. Thank you and welcome Marley. Okay my
039clicker here. Good evening everybody. Thank you for having me tonight. My name is Marley Fox. I am from Henderson. We are at legal counsel for the district. Um, and I am here to talk tonight about dependent charter schools and district obligations and charter school obligations. So charter schools just just some basics to begin. Charter schools can be considered either dependent which is also sometimes called district affiliated or independent. And there's no definition in the ED code for a dependent charter school. So typically when a charter school is described as dependent, it means that it's been established by the school district's governing board and is dependent on its charter authorizer of the school district um in various ways. So in contrast, an independent charter school is operated by a nonprofit public benefit corporation and it operates
040wholly independently of the authorizer. Both dependent and independent charter schools are public schools that operate pursuant to a charter, which is a contract between the the charter school and the agency that authorizes it. So a charter both authorizes the the charter school's existence and it also outlines the terms and conditions of its operations. So for because there's no distinction in the ed code between a dependent charter school and an independent charter school. Both dependent and independent charter schools have to follow have to include the same elements in their charter petitions and those are all set out in the ed code. like an independent charter school. A dependent charter school can't charge tuition, has to be non sectarian in their policies, programs, and practices. So, a dependent charter school is established by and then remains part
041of the school district or the county office of education that granted it charter. Um, in a school district, it's treated as one of the district schools. the district's governing board is also the governing board of the charter school. As you know, um the authorizer of the school district typically administers all the funding for the charter school. So, it passes through the the authorizer to the charter school rather than flowing directly to the charter school as an independent charter school would. Um, dependent charter schools are also typically entitled to the same flexibility and establishing their curriculum as is afforded independent charter schools. Regardless of whether it's a dependent charter school or an independent charter school, the charter school is intended by the ED code to operate independently from the existing school district structure. And in order
042to maintain independence, the charter has to m maintain independent fiscal operations and any pass through the pass through funding has to be recorded in a separate fund. That's for the ED code. So dependent charter schools go through the same review, approval, and renewal process as independent charter schools. And CMI's existing charter concludes in about a year that the current term June 30th, 2026. So CMI must submit a charter renewal petition and then go through the same public hearing and decision process as an independent charter school would. And also the renewal petition for CMI and any other dependent charter school is required to satisfy the same requirements as an independent charter school. Um, and again, those are set out in the ED code, ed code section 47605. A school district and its governing board have specific
043statutory duties regarding a charter school, regardless of whether the charter school is dependent or independent. The district's board determines whether the charter petition meets the legal requirements for approval. The district is required to perform its oversight duties as prescribed by law and those are the same regardless if it's dependent charter school or an independent charter school. You have to ensure that the charter school operates in compliance with applicable law and the terms of the charter. They need to identify one staff member or at least one staff member as a contact person for the charter school. They need to conduct at least one site visit annually. They need to ensure that the charter complies with all legally required reports. Yes, it says visit charter school at least one time annually, right? That charter school needs to
044go to a regular public school or the other way around. uh meaning that the district representative who is assigned you know as as the I just want to be clear the contact person goes to the charter school to meet with the administration to see what's happening there sure uh let's see so the district needs to make sure the charter complies with all legally required reports including LCAP the LCAP annual update financial reports budgets and also to monitor the charter school's fiscal condition. Yes, that's kind of off in this version of this timely notification. Just so you can touch on it, actually, let me Thank you. Sorry. So, G and I were noticing there's a there's that might happen a lot because I crammed a lot onto the slides. So, let me interrupt. No, no problem.
045Let me I have a printed out version here. So, let me just get to the one sec. Okay. Yes. So, the the district also needs to timely notify CDE if the charter revoked or if the charter school ceases operation for any reason. I think this all made it onto the slides. Yeah, I'm not for you. Thank you. The district's board also determines whether to approve material revisions and charter renewals. And I want to just interject something here regarding material revisions. I was standing outside earlier during CMI's board meeting and I heard some discussion about um possibility of raising the uh c the enrollment cap. That is something that actually would constitute a material revision to the charter. And so there's a process to go through for a material revision. CMI would need to submit something
046in writing to the district requesting material revision and also provide a revised version of the charter. And not only so, not only would the the part about increasing enrollment cap have to be revised, but there's a law that requires that anytime there's a material revision or a charter renewal. The charter school has to update the charter to include any new requirements that have changed in the law since the time the charter was last materially revised or granted or renewed. So that would all need to happen and and the way it works is or it should work is so CMI should submit a letter requesting the material vision. They should submit also a redlinined version of the charter petition so the board and the district can see everything that's been changed and also a clean copy.
047And then there would need to be a public hearing on the material revision and then a vote on the material revision. And so I know that CMI is up for renewal and it's possible to have both of those take place at the same time because I know it's going to be a lot of work to update the charter. So you could have the same evening you could have well you could have the public hearings at one meeting and then you could have you know the next month or you could have the the actual decisions but you could do both of them at the same time. They just have to you have to have separate board items for each separate public hearing for each you know the material revision and the renewal and then also a
048separate item for the decision on each. I just wanted to add that because I heard the discussion about it outside. Now, realistically on that one, um, so because we're going to be going through in the following year, is it most likely that it'll happen 2627 as opposed to 2526 to get it out? I mean, just because the year's ending and we're starting, does is there potential time to do that for the 25 26 year or to have to have both of those things? Yes. decided 2526 um which ends 2526 ends next June. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, of course. But the school year starts in July, right? So the the charter petition doesn't it goes for another year. The term expires June 30th, 2026. So there's a full year to take care of this.
049Right. But so that to take care of it so that we can implement it in 2627. Right. Okay. I just Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Okay. So, moving along. Um, the district board also has responsibility for determining whether the charter school has committed a condition for charter revocation and has the power to revoke the charter if the charter school commits a a violation either of law or of one of the terms of the charter. And also if the charter school applies for facilities pursuant to Proposition 39, then the charter school, I'm sorry, the school district has the responsibility for providing reasonably equivalent facilities if the charter school submits a timely facilities request and satisfies the legal requirements for facilities. So, in addition to specific oversight duties, charter authorizers provide charter schools they authorize with general
050guidance on issues such as funding and compliance and a charter. Oh, did you have a question? I have a question because I think bullet number three is so important mostly what we are having the requests right now that is the district high school district responsibility to provide reasonably equivalent facilities right but there is a condition if chart school timely submits proposition 39 facility request and satisfy the legal requirements for facilities. Yes. Can you expand a little bit on that issue of 39? Sure. I think it's ultimate importance because we want to be responsive to what our parents and the community and CMI is requesting. Sure. So, Proposition 39 and code section 47614 details an annual process for requesting and receiving facilities for a charter school. um the charter school would have to submit a written
051facilities request to the district no later than November 1st of the school year before the year that they actually want facilities. So if a charter school wanted facilities for the 2627 school year, they would need to submit a written facilities request to the district by November 1st, 2025. And then that begins a roughly sixmonth process of back and forth between the district and the charter school. So let's see if I can I have all this in my head here. Um so November 1st, the charter school submits the facility request. By December 1st, the the district reviews the facilities request and the district looks specifically at the average daily attendant the IND district average daily attendance projections from the charter school and looks and decides whether they're reasonable or not. And so by December 1st, the
052district has an opportunity to respond and say, "Hey, we don't agree with your projection here. we think in fact it's this and then to provide reasoning as to why they don't agree with the district and with the charter schools uh ADA rejection or the district can accept it as reasonable and then if if the district does happen to object the charter school has until January second to come back and respond to what the district said and either provide additional documentation or explain why the district is wrong or why they believe the district is wrong. And then by February 1st, the school district provides what's called a preliminary proposal of facilities. So the the district evaluates the facilities request fully, looks at what the charter school wants, looks at what it h that the district has
053available in its inventory facilities, and comes up with a preliminary proposal. It's not an actual offer of facilities, but you, you know, would detail the number of classrooms provided, the location, the non-classroom space, the specialized classroom space, and so the the charter school receives that about February 1st and then has a month until March 1st to review it and come back to the district and submit something in writing explaining, you know, if they find anything wrong with it, if they'd like to propose something different and then the district reviews it and by April 1st the district provides a a facilities offer to the charter school and then the charter school has until May 1st to accept or reject that offer and then the district has until seven I I think I'm sorry 10 business days
054before the school dis before the charter school's first day of school to make the facilities aail available and I guess in in emergency situations it can be seven days, seven business days instead of 10. But there's also something I see the question. I was just going to add something else. So there's there Proposition 39 is ED code section 47614. But there's also these implementing regulations for Prop 39. And one of those regulations allows a school district and a charter school to enter into an alternative agreement or an inlue agreement outside of Proposition 39 for basically they can make any kind of arrangement for facilities that's outside of the Prop 39 process. Anyway, sorry your question. Well, okay. So on on the the facilities request um would that be kind of like the things that you
055might have heard that them asking for um a new football field or you know uh or could it be like um technology basically to rewire the place? Um could it be adding portables? Um, I mean obviously there would have to be a justification for everything within the the the plan and submitted, but are those the things that they could be requesting or so they can they can request they requesting that the district provide facilities for a particular school year and they can specify in their facilities request, you know, we would like to be at a facility that has these kinds of things. That's not where they would request the district to pay for certain things necessarily. Um, the district has to only provide provide reasonably equivalent facilities to what it might have at its other
056schools. But reasonably equivalent doesn't it doesn't mean the same necessarily. It doesn't mean like if you have, let's say, you know, two high schools that have um soccer fields, one high school doesn't have a soccer field, one high school has a swimming pool, two don't. You know, I mean, you just kind of have to look at everything and it's kind of a case by case determination. Um so so one of my um questions on that one would be so at the at the charter school at CMI we have uh elementary school kids okay which we don't have obviously anywhere else we have middle one middle school and then we have the high schools um so if if they were to request kind of like an elementary uh section that maybe doesn't exist you know maybe
057they wanted to to put restrooms to keep the elementary kids away from the older kids and just kind of separate them, maybe have a little space to to play, a little play area that's kind of designated for them so that they're just, you know, you have elementary kids and then you have high school kids. Is that something that I mean because that's unique and different because you can't compare that anywhere else. But if it's uh let's just say it's a state of need or they specify hey that we would like to have this because we can have we've been having issues you know with them comingling and just kind of separating the space. Would that be something that is possible or any I mean anything is possible. Okay. Okay. I mean, you know, there's there's
058I don't have the exact language with me, but there's there's something in the law that says that the school district is not obligated to um modify a facility to accommodate this the charter school's grade level configuration. Something there's something like that. I don't have the exact language on me right now, but there's nothing that stops you from from doing that. you know, even if it's outside of RAW 39, you can you can make those modifications if you choose to. No. So, and just and I don't know if you're going to get to it later, but um so let's just let's just say in a perfect world um where we decide, okay, we're going to do that. Now does that mean that the parish union could say okay with these improvements now the cost you know
059for the facilities will increase based on a percentage based on that the facilities and what the outgoing costs are to kind of recover them right so under if you go like straight Proposition 39 you charge the charter school a pro a share that's this calculation and I don't unfortunately have my code with me so I can't tell you and regulation with me so I can't tell you everything that goes into you're restricted to charge a certain amount. However, you can if you enter into an alternative agreement with the charter school, you can charge anything. You can, you know, you charge fair market rent for the facility. So, that can certainly be worked out. Okay. Thank you. In those terms that Mr. campus is asking me I was going to ask about the funding you know
060because the most important thing let's say hypothetically speaking is because anything is in the right let's say something cost $4 million where does the movie come from let me get to that I'll get to it later I mean I have I think I think if that's if you can ask me if I don't cover what you're sense hold your question and then yeah see if we get there um okay should I continue on Yeah. Okay. Uh, did I finish here? Charter authoriz I think I didn't say charter authorizer have the authority to and should periodically inspect the credentials of charter school teachers to make sure they're in compliance with law. Um, okay. The degree to which a charter school is dependent on its authorizer is established in the charter petition and also by contract. CMI
061charter and itsou with the district set forth the details of its relationship with the district and I see that the slide is cut off kind of at the bottom you go to the district's governing board also as we already talked about serves the CMI's governing board CMI excuse my typo there utilizes textbooks and supplemental instructional materials approved by both governing boards CMI functions as a public school of the district for purposes of special education and related services. CMI's principal is employed directly by the district. CMI it will comply with all district health and safety policies and CMI will receive business services, maintenance support, facilities, transportation support, HR services, educational program support services as appropriate and necessary from the district. And I think it's cut off. It also says CMI's audits will be conducted by independent
062firm retained by the district. CMI is also entered into an MLU with the district for the provision of various services as is permitted by law. The law says the code says the district is legally permitted to charge CMI for these services separately from the fee it charges for oversight. Pursuing to theou the district provides CMI with rent free facility and in exchange for that the district collects 3% for the actual cost of supervisor supervisorial oversight not to exceed 3% of CMI's revenue and also pursuant to theou the districts responsible for providing CMI with services uh including the following in exchange for a 7% fee of CMI's actual annual expenditures. And that's there's business operations. I don't know if you guys want me to go through the whole list of things here or not, but No,
063because they're going to send them to us. Okay, perfect. Okay. Lots of business operations, insurance and risk management, lots of that stuff, too. personnel services, instructional services. Also, pursuant to the MOU, CMI has responsibilities for maintaining fiscal solveny, preparing an initial proposed budget by March of each year, maintaining a reserve of at least 3% for economic uncertainties, although at times the district may require to increase up to 5%. Participate in the district's annual audit. work with the district to prepare student enrollment and average daily attendance projections. Maintain general liability and errors and admissions insurance policies and CMI is responsible for the cost of all insurance coverage as a direct charge. providing pay for workers comp employers liability coverage and unemployment insurance provide transportation for its students and CMI. I'm sure the transportation that they have
064to provide for so is that a law or is that just something in the agreement? It's a new agreement. Okay. Yeah. And I believe I read that it's coordinated with it unified. Okay. Um, real quick, Candace, are we providing transportation for them? So, in two capacities. So, they contract with him at Unifi separate from the district. And so, those two capacities are they have three current three different routes um of home to school transportation, busing, and students from Reno Valley School District. But then they also do like their athletics and extracurricular on an hourly basis just like they does for the for the district. So, but we don't have students being picked up from home, brought to school from only from Marino Valley. Only from outside of the district. Okay. Thank you. And also per
065the contract, CMI's principal manages the school site, facilities, student discipline. Yes. I'm so sorry. I I know you didn't see me. I'm so fixated on the the screen. I know. I just want before you go too too much further away from this, you talked about an advisory council. Do we have an advisory council in place? They they do. They have a military advisor. Yes. Yes. Okay. And um this 12.1 which you're you're giving this presentation on, I'm I'm confused. This is CMI. Why isn't it on CMI's agenda? That's not your fault. But why why is this on Well, I guess I would the way I I took that as is we're the overseers of CMI. Therefore, it's our meeting because we're in jurisdiction of CMI. So, when all the charter and everything goes through, it's
066going through for us as Paris union to then make sure that we oversee the proper structure of the new charter. And I mean that that was my understanding as to why this is part of we are talking about charter school oversight. So, okay. I mean, it is responsibility. There's no right or wrong here. We just did see. Yeah, I know. Okay, that's it. Uh, let's see. CMI principal also manages instruction and identification and assignment of workspaces for all CMI and California military department personnel on campus. So in addition to the 3% that CMI pays for oversight to the district and the 7% that it pays for the charges that we didn't go through in great detail there. CMI is also pursuant to the MOU responsible for certain direct charges regarding or relating to its day-to-day
067operation and that would be utilities costs, phone service, alarm security, custodial service, postage and mailing supplies, software and applications, new equipment, replacement, repairs of existing equipment, student field trips, salaries and benefits paid to CMI employees, professional membership ships held by CMI arts employees, staff development, graduation costs, purchase of textbooks, materials, supplies, and equipment, cost resulting from any audit findings or additional audits required, and cost of legal services. Pursuant to theou, the district is responsible for regular maintenance and repairs of buildings and building structures and the cost of upkeep to CMI grounds. However, theou provides that if CMI wishes to deviate from the regular schedule for facilities maintenance or to upgrade the general scope of work that would be provided, the cost is to be negotiated in advance and directly charged to CMI. This includes but
068is not limited to painting, carpet, asphalt, roof replacement, HVAC, plumbing, lighting, and structural additions or modifications. Theou also explains that the cost of any new construction or modernizations shall be negotiated with the district in advance and pro it says provided within funds available to either CMI or the district or both. This language places no mandatory obligation on the district to pay for construction or modernization at CMI. The district may through negotiations decide to pay for all or part of any construction or modernization at CMI. And should this I I just added this in here. Should this be a Prop 39 situation, which it's it's not currently, that law provides that a school district is not obligated ah this is what I the language I was looking for earlier. The school district is not obligated to
069pay for the modification of an existing school site to accommodate the charter school's grade level configuration, but that doesn't keep prevented from doing so. It's just not legally obligated to do that. So, neither the law nor theou obligates the district to build CMI, a swimming pool. Neither the law nor theou obligates the district to build CMI a football stadium. CMI may certainly discuss additions to its campus with the district, but the funding has to be negotiated pursuant to the contract that exists, theou that exists. And I just included some different funding options here. Um there's the charter school facilities grant program. Uh it's where the California school finance authority provides grants to offset facil cost for charter schools serving a high percentage of students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals. In order
070to qualify for the grant, um a dependent charter school has to demonstrate operational and finding operational and financial autonomy from the Horizon School District. There's also funds available through the charter school facilities program that can be used to finance construction of new permanent school facilities or to rehab or modernize existing district facilities that are at least 15 years old for use by a charter school. But there are some requirements there. Has to be 50% state grant and 50% applicant contribution or loan. And it requires a very long lease for the school district at least 40 years. And the school district may choose to include charter school facilities in its local bond program. And then also charter school can obviously seek donations or hold fundraising events to raise money if it chooses to do so. And
071as we discussed earlier, CMI or any of the dependent charters will also have the option of submitting a proposition 39 facilities request to request district facilities. And that's all. Any other questions? I had I had one that um and I know this has come up in the past. So, and I'm not 100% sure if it's, you know, in the 7% 3% um but in terms of um like special education funding or costs, um are are they is that something that's negotiated? So if you have, you know, x amount of dollars that that Paris union is is paying out for special education and CMI is a small portion of that, in other words, student, let's say it's 50 students, right? Do they have to pay according to the students and the the per student or is
072it kind of a shared cost so that everybody's kind of paying the same amount whether they're needing it you know at CM let's just say at CMI they don't need to spend as much because they don't have maybe the amount of students or there's no litigation there or how does that like how do you differentiate the two? So, I would need to say for that I'm actually I I don't really deal with special ed stuff myself, but we have people in my firm who do. So, I could certainly ask that question. I know that the contract does mention something about special ed. I think it's I don't remember exactly what it says. I think it's calculated separately and apart from this, but any more detail, I'd need to consult with somebody else to give you
073Okay. an answer to that. Okay. Thank you. That was just one because we weren't 100% sure of it. No, thank you. Yeah, I have a couple of questions just to clarify for my own understanding. You mentioned that the shutter school renewal it should be developed by CMI. Correct. Correct. Okay. So if there are any concerns or any issues, it seems that there is a misconception that the shadow school renewal was supposed to be done by Paris Union High School District. That's not the case. No. So Paris Union will review what is submitted by CMI and then ultimately decide whether or not to grant the renewal. Exactly. Yes. Thank you for for clarifying that because that is important. It it seems that it was that understanding that Paris Union reviewed the shutter and we're talking about
074past uh practices say oh there's only 10 pages and it should be 80 union why you we don't have 80 well it is CMI the one who develops the shutter and I know there was before Dr. See the charter school? Yes. The charter school develops. So they developed a petition. They present it to us to pers and we approve it. Yes. Correct. Okay. So I think that is an important topic because there was that also increasing enrollment is a material. So CMI needs to present a proposal with all the variables implied in the increase of enrollment. Right? and and then okay we are going to need this amount of teachers we are going to have this amount of ADA Greeks and we are going to be able to pay for for that yes right so
075the another one the budget is developed by CMI did I understand that correctly right but I I I probably I think that's is that what I said I think that's what I said so it's also reviewed by the district yeah it it is reviewed by by federal high school But that once we determine and make the decisions how the money is going to be spent is CMI and the advisory council. Okay. Yeah. Because it seems to be the misconception also that is Paris Union High School the one who we haven't seen about yet for CMI. So why we haven't seen it? Right. So the these are something very important questions right in in clarifications for the board because it's coming across like Paris Union is the one who develops the budget. Okay. And also something
076really important we already talk about facilities that we are not obligated to provide it. It could be negotiated but nonetheless it's our community high school wants to work together and there are some requests right we get for example if we fulfill that nowadays it might be the millions maybe eight billion dollars right is you mentioned something about grants for shutter for shutters so can that be part of the funding if if if CMI were to apply for a grant and to receive it okay So that CMI needs to apply for that right because uh in 100% transparency like always it seems the perception that uh even even I was thinking well first year high school district why you don't a football field or CMI you know what because you are not giving us the same
077thing like the other schools but CMI needs to do its part right getting the the brand in order to to build the full. Is that correct? That's correct. So So according to the theou it can be the district can agree if the district wishes to pay for it, right? Or the charter school can agree to pay for it or they can jointly pay for it. But also yes, I mean CMI can certainly explore finding different ways to pay for it. And I included those funding options. You know, I don't know whether CMI qualifies. I haven't looked into all the detail or anything but something to explore. Yeah, I know you're an attorney and maybe not a financial advisor but uh financial if we are deficit spending we can talk about deficit spending here with the
078ball right for parish union itself. Okay. And CMI also is deficit spending based on the budget that CMI and the advisory council are supposed to develop and present to the world. That's a state union. How do we do you suggest our advice even though you're not the final advisor? can you give us in order to make a football field reality or satisfy with a community because we really want to do if we were able to do it. I think it would have been done already you know but perish high school is definitely we need to negotiate that right that CI needs to put the part also I think we do in order to deliver I mean my recommendation would be that might investigate some of those funding options you know without without I'm definitely not
079a financial adviser and I but I think that's a place to start okay okay yeah I noticed that in order for CI to process a grant for shutters, we need to do a lease for 40 years, I believe. Right. That's that's a requirement of the California School Finance Authority. They require a 40-year lease. Okay. That's not that's with the CSFP funding. It's not with the grant funding. It's different. I think I I don't know all the specifics of this stuff, but I do know that for the CSFP loan that it does require 40 years. And then there's um I can't remember everything, but there basically like if CMI were to vacate that site, the district would then have to try to find another charter school to occupy that site. So the 40-year period would be
080covered and then only if the district can't find another charter school, then the district could use it for its own purposes and something like that. Thank you. I I think we are addressing these issues. We want to do the best, right? But also we need to be cognizant and we need to recognize the financial implications of that. And I think it was a wonderful presentation. Thank you. So this is kind of a question for both of you. You don't have to answer if you don't know, but do you guys know where we would look for grant money for charter school? Like we've been asking questions like this for a while and we haven't got it answered. So if if you do, can you like send Mr. Johnson the information and Dr. Arouse that way they
081can make sure? I appreciate that. So So one would be the California School of Finance Authority, right? That's where they can apply or at least take a look and research how they can Yeah, actually I can send that information. Okay. Now and and I know um in in hearing Dr. Ross and what he mentioned um I mean we're kind of in a unique situation where um you know Dr. Dodson is is I mean I I know that in the explanation it's kind of like okay um it seems like the burden would be on him for the charter and and to do all that but how is how can we like partner? I mean I I think we've all kind of had this mentality that it's a partnership and that obviously we want you know them
082to continue to to succeed and to thrive. Um, but at the same time, how do we work it together so that it's not like they're out on their own? Well, I think you can just be in regular communication about it. I mean, as part of the you are the oversight agency for the district and so you are engaged in conversation regularly. You know, it's my understanding and so just continue discussing. So, as the charter is being written and formed, it's with your with you guys' help as well as the district as well as the charter kind of all working together to rewrite it so that it's properly written, constituted, and Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Sure. Anybody else? No. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. 12.2 Inland
083Online Academy presentation. Yeah. Hi, good evening. So uh I am excited to share um the work and give a little um snapshot of the inland online academy which formerly was uh scholar plus online learning academy. Yes, I got it. Um on this first slide I just wanted to recognize that um when you talk about boost to ground and full speed ahead uh I have to just acknowledge the work of our interim director of CNI Mr. Senate and our principal of Inland online academy u Dr. Tamasia, we uh literally have been working hard and because this is something that we want on the ground now for the upcoming school year. Um at our these two uh logos that are representing uh inland online academy uh were developed and finalized at our last um student uh what
084is it called? our superintendent student advisory meeting and they finalized um these last two logos to represent um the online school. So we uh wanted to make sure we highlighted that because it was definitely um a student centered uh idea and they have a you know students they know what they like and it's not always what adults think they like. system with that. So the general overview is again we're moving from uh uh sola to rebranding and the rebranding uh we was really focused on um the idea of again broadening broadening the appeal of what we have up here for online options. It's really about flexibility for students. You there are too many ways right now that students can um be educated and with everything we have at Paris Union, this is um going to
085be a game changer with the rebranding and you'll see that in a few more slides. but also also I mean to capture a moment that we know we've lost to other online opportunities um and to look at something that you know we talk about the laser focus and the laser focus we we've looked at ADA recovery but what about our enrollment recovery and I can say coming into the district um from the outside and driving around I mean I see nothing but growth surrounding our schools and we have to be able to expand uh in this area in order to not only recapture but gain. So you have traditional um online which would be more of the independent study model which is what we have right now with um sol um with the inland online
086academy of rebranding we're bringing in the coursebased independent study. So I have here it's a uh a comparison. So in our traditional independent study the attendance is based on work completion. So you turn in the work it it is accounting for uh your attendance and it's online but um I equate it to the the packet work. So we have the pre uh established courses. Um they call it well it's it's through admentum but I believe it's still referred to as playground but it's already a pre-built course. Okay. Um coursebased um did you want me to pause for a minute? Okay. Okay. Um the course based independent study is um where a teacher just like maybe in distance learning they created their course online. they uh assign um the assignments. The grading is based on when
087the course ends just like it is if you were in inerson instruction and you end up with um not just a single teacher and you check in with that one teacher once a week but you have a weekly synchronous meetings with each of your content teachers. So for I am a science credential. So I would teach the various science courses and um once a week those students that are in my courses check in with me. They also once a week check in with their English. They check in with their math. They so it's course based um independent study. So what you see here and it's important for me to highlight the the co-enrollment limitation. So when we talk about uh IOA or our inland online academy, we're looking at um co-enrollment as a part of
088the flexibility. So you don't see every single one of our schools logo because the limitation is this co-enrollment will be with our comprehensive sites. So between our four high schools and our our four comprehensive high schools and our middle school, this is where that flexibility is. So I can be 100% uh online or I can be hybrid. I can be maybe 60% online and the other 40% um in person or vice versa. So I um am doing the courses. However, uh I really want to be a part of the um you know a pathway or some specific type of class you know at Liberty or Heritage um or I want to be in the dance program that also has a class associated with it. So, a lot of flexibility there and that flexibility again can
089only happen within our our comp our comprehensive sites. I had a lovely uh quote that uh Mr. Senate gave me and I thought it was uh amazing. I wrote it down. I said uh uh flexible options. If we don't have flexible options, they will go to a district that does. And that really summarizes what we're trying to offer here. Again, um there are many ways uh to get school. Uh what in uh online academy is not it is not a credit recovery school. It is school. It's just getting school in a different format. And that's another part of the rebranding because there could be some um with the salt for example with the solar plus there's a referral process, right? it gets referred through the counselor. Um, and that's not a whole lot different from
090the way you get referred to continuation school. So, this is a school on its own. Uh, we have an application process, register, and and it's it's just structured a little differently and it's going to be marketed the same way. Um, you also have access to sitebased programs. So again, you still are eligible to do sports, the CIF, the electives. So there's a lot of options, opportunities, and flexibilities. Will all of these be, you know, year one? No. But we are want going to get the ground going, look at what our student uh need is, look at uh our enrollment, and then see how we are able to have that flexibility. The amazing thing that's going to be one of the standout um things that we market to the public is that the schools in the
091district, our schools are amazing. Our programs are award-winning, our sports programs, our academics. So, you can have um the beauty of both worlds. you can have an online experience and still be able to have um access especially if you're doing a hybrid have access to um a lot of those award winning opportunities that our students are getting. So, uh, you can't get that, um, outside and if you go to just any other online, you're you just don't have the same opportunity. And so, we want to start maximizing what we have here, uh, and and and make sure our community knows about it. So, the district approved courses, uh, it's actually on the board this evening. So, I I definitely am excited for that. It's a 11.3. I believe is already or it's coming up to
092be approved. All of the courses that uh we offer uh are going to be approved to be offered through inland online academy. So again, that doesn't necessarily mean obviously we that there's teacher limits, there's student wants, student requests. However, going down when you're looking at sustainability and opportunity, we should never have a time where it says, "Well, we can't do it because we're online." So, that's one of the things that we have moving forward. And again, the course base independent studies is probably one of the biggest uh additions. This is something that I will say has uh been just an amazing setup with Dr. Tamasian. Uh she really has had a passion for figuring this out, doing our master schedule, looking at the need. And once we um she already has a list cuz parents
093are already calling or asking when they call people services or looking at transfers. we already have language of well well wait you know we have an online school and so she already has the list of families that are waiting for communication. and we're like just one minute. We wanted to uh we didn't want to get in front of this presentation with the board, but we are moving uh we're ready and once we have um students formally and fully uh registered that'll help tailor the course offerings for the first year. So, uh in no particular order, just some of the things that are happening. So, uh marketing. So right now we do have a contract with Lynette White LLC who is does marketing specifically um for education and uh she has we have a a contract
094with her for Pentac and for on inland online academy and that's where the the first markups of the the new logos came from. Um so if you are uh which you probably already do follow what's been happening on Pakotti social media uh the interaction, the engagement, the quality of the content um has has been incredible. I was able to share some of those statistics. Uh but I can put it actually on our weekly update so you can see. Uh so we want to um be able to push that out. And the nice thing about uh Inland Online Academy is that it is marketable across all of the Inland Empire. So remember, you can be 100% online. So you don't necessarily have to live right here in order to get the benefit. Um, so we are
095going to be doing some intentionality because again we want to balance it with uh not a focus of of um removing a ton of students from our comprehensive into online but a focus of flexibility options and and increasing enrollment. Um we already have a teacher workg group. Uh we've met already at um with our teachers that currently are part of the online school and uh we got uh them on board and we are working on finalizing those last components. Uh so that is teacherdriven um and the student application and enrollment. We are just finalizing that. It'll be electronic with the same uh platform we use right now for a lot of our electronic forms. and then we're going to be updating the website. And so, um, those are like those things that are happening right
096now. Um, and they all align as well with what we'll be looking at with master scheduling. So, as we are working with our comprehensive sites, seeing what their needs are and maybe where they may have some uh openings or sections, those are opportunities for us to say, well, you have enough students for for five sections. Maybe that sixth session can be one of the online classes uh that will support the enrollment here. So, it's all kind of working together. It's a ying and a yang, but again, the flexibility, the options, and the opportunity is going to be pretty amazing for our district. [Music] Okay, with that, thank you. Um, couple of questions. Yes. With the existing students that are in um the online school we have now, do they have a Are we sticking to
097a GPA that they have to keep to a certain level? So, who would be able to speak to the correct? I can. So, um part of course base independent studies is that you have to um have thresholds to re-engage the student when they're not engaged. Um, and so when they're not making progress in the course, we have to have a tiered re-engagement strategy that starts with reaching out to the student, to the parent, the guardian, um, creating a meeting, figuring out what's going on, why aren't we connecting, and then putting in different layers of support. And all of that is spelled out both within the application process, um, and then within the policies that govern the coursebased study. So for the students who if they're not meeting it now per say as we transition okay
098we have a platform in the system to make sure the concern is nobody's getting thrown out no one right so they can kind of continue and get the support they need and in and from what I've seen thus far it hasn't been a practice to you know just disen them and send them back which technically could happen but instead we were We'd rather build in systems of support to bring them up. Bring them in. Okay. Um the other question um sol is accredited, right? It is. Is this going to automatically transfer to So uh we are in the process of being able to change the name of uh because we already have a CVS code for the school. It's already an established school. So yes, we're uh in that process right now. Um, we've already
099had a conversation um with Miss Chavez, myself, and RCE just making sure as we're looking at the rebranding and changing the name that we're still keeping with uh what we've already been accredited for as walks with WAS that we're not disrupting our funding through our equity multiplier. So, no, we're there's many prongs happening at the same time. Um and with our W was uh accreditation they could you know want to come back and and and see or but right now we're ours is good through 2030 with the online school. So we're we're working through all those layers. Good good. Um I think that that's the only question. So you're not going to put the students out that are existing. So when we generate new students that need credit recovery, where are they going to go?
100Well, we still have Paris Lake. Okay. High school. Paris Lake could potentially Paris Lake is is our continuation school. Okay. Yes. Okay. because and that's part of the rebranding and the messaging because even if you look at the website right now and you go to the page on schools it'll say uh Paris Lake High School/ uh scholar plus or the the sol and so um you know when you see that it it could be like well this is just an online version of continuation which really it's not it's really online school that already exists in the in the district it's just rebranding it to we uh know that this is not a online continuation. It is an online school. And and to expand this stuff for another one when the students are paying the vision,
101our plan and the focus, the laser focus and everything we have in the laser focus because we need to make sure that we are ensuring the success of that is not to have the situations that we have been having that we have juniors and seniors with 30 40 credits. Right? So, we need to start making that analysis of who is falling behind in their freshman year. Well, I want to give I mean, this is a great program. Looks like it's going to be great. I just didn't want to go backwards because there's too much to answer for. So, let's go forward and and be positive. So, I'm pretty sure that you guys are aware of those. Oh, yes. And it worked your way around them. So, uh, I just want you to know I I
102support what you're doing here and it's it's in the best interest of the kids and it's it's more of what it was designed originally. Oh. When it was done, it's it got away from what it really was going to be. Oh, okay. And and you're pretty much following what it should be. Yeah. And and I will tell you that um and I appreciate you saying that because I do have you know there's a lot of new initiers but there's a lot of also uh that historical perspective and so that's uh that energy has helped us do this in a very short amount of time because we are we're not trying to do this next 26 27 we are uh going to be after this presentation we have steps in place to get ready to launch
103before the end of the month so we can start seeing what the interest is and what the enrollment um which will help build what the master schedule looks like and and what the need is. So, it is an it is exciting. Um I lost the phone, but it is it's going to work. Um I lost it. Sorry. That's okay. Whatever. Um yeah, I'll ask I'll ask you another time. So, I don't have a question, but I have a comment. Um Mr. Masian, you mind standing up? Can we give her a round of applause for all the hard work? So, thank you very much. For a while, we've been hearing all the good things you've been doing and I wanted to make sure you're recognized. So, thank you very much. We appreciate you all. Thank you
104again. So, now my my question um so I mean I'm understanding I I love the idea because it's basically offering a full comprehensive experience. but to a hybrid because obviously kids are in different situations. Now, the only thing that I kind of was wondering, so let's just say you have a kid who's online who wants to stay at at Paris, but let's just say they're enrolled in Paris, but they and they're doing the online uh program there. Could they go in person to Liberty and do the business if they want business cuz they don't offer that, or would they have to go full on online at Liberty and then the inperson? cuz I'm assuming that we don't have uh or or will we have some of the CTE offerings online? I'm I'm assuming they're going
105to be in person and we're maybe not there yet. But the the beauty of it is the hybrid doesn't limit them to um their home school as opposed to what we have to offer uh districtwide. Uh so that's the flexibility of it. if they are going to school at Paris and they're doing at least their five classes there. So, let's say the opposite where they're doing those uh they're doing the five classes at Paris and they have two classes online. Um or if they're doing two online or I'm sorry, five classes online and two uh let's say in person. It doesn't have to be just at their home school. Okay? So it it where all of our courses are being um approved uh to be offered. So it also will will hopefully even even broaden
106because um what if they wanted to take you know a world language that we keep hearing a world language that maybe is only offered at one of our schools across town and not in in their in their attendance area for their home school. They have the option. That's the flexibility of it. And so what it really will the domino effect of that be is just we're working really hard. I know the principles and their teams are working really hard on their master schedules. Um Mr. Tippy has already um put together uh a way of being able to monitor a report so you can see where there's open seats, you can see, you know, what's available across uh the various school sites. And it's just a matter of building those systems so that we're all on
107the same page and be able to know well you want to take AP singleton that's only offered at Heritage High School. We are looking at the systems of how we monitor availability and then what is our lines of communications going to be. So there there's all these layers but we don't want to limit that. Um because what if you don't live in the area? What if you live in Redlands, but you still want to do a hybrid option? Why what school would I limit you to then? Right? So, that's that's kind of the mindset of it, being able to build flexibility. So, we're going to start and as we go, we'll be able to grow and know what we can do, what's easiest, um, and build from there. And CTE, uh, our dual enrollment, our
108co, like there's so many things that are offered here. I think the sky's is the limit. Uh, and we'll we'll we'll definitely tackle those as the students come in and we see what their needs are. Right. No. And and I was going to say vice versa. You have you know um the school district the kids that are in the south they don't have the the a programs but now so it kind of so I think it's great. I think I think the flexibility in building it um obviously there's going to be some learning stuff that we have to figure out. you know, transportation, I'm assuming, is going to be up to the the families and the students because, right, you know, if if they're creating their schedule, it's hard for us to, you know, bust
109a kid, you know, because they want to go to a different site. Well, absolutely. In person. So, okay. Right. And class offerings are are different times of day and, you know, obviously a student who is predominantly online has a little bit more flexibility. Um and so it's it will hopefully build um a foundation that we'll learn. Um so as we want to build more into uh the I gety pathway and what is uh e-learning look like you know that this is all going to help us bridge that and have those systems in place to understand how to navigate even easier. So yeah awesome. I think it's great. It's great on multiple fronts. question for you. Um, so if the students in school all fall all classes online, what about sport activities? Uh, sports. Sports. Oh,
110yes. So, the sports, they're eligible to still participate in sports. Okay. I must have missed that. Yes. So, um, then are we making sure that someone from, let's say, that should go to Liberty goes, "Wow, I want to go play at Heritage." So there's there's still the I mean there's still the transfer process. So it's if if if you live in live in Redlands and you want to go, you still have to do the IBT, right? Right. Which which then obviously aligns to your eligibility for athletics with so all those processes. I mean we're we're at school so if you needed for to go to Liberty you needed to go to IOA, right? Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good stuff. Okay. 13.1 discipline April 2025 monthly suspension report. And then moving on to
11114.1 personnel certificated personnel action items. Do I have a motion? So move. Thank you, Trusty Garcia. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Trusty Nia. And please vote. I just had one comment. Um, normally, you know, we only get the numbers. Um, I usually get the names from the superintendent at some point. A lot of these they're just identified by number for for reasons of privacy and security. So I always want to know you don't tell me now. Yes. I want to know because of reasons of being in the public and who want to talk to. Okay. I will I will take Upon the vote being taken, the vote was five in favor, zero opposed. And 14.2 personnel classified personnel action items. Do I have a motion? So move. Thank you, Trusty Garcia. Thank

Do I have a motion? Some move. Thank you, Trusty Garcia. Do I have a second? Thank you, Trusty Anna. And please vote comment. This one, the the concerns are if you have employees that don't have transportation and am I reading the right one? So, this is this is about sending an employee to another site if that site goes dark or whatever happens, right? So, how do we we say, "Well, Floyd says, "Well, I don't have a car. I can't get there, so we're going to take
113them. We can't penalize them for not having any fun." So, I mean, we we still have to be kind of flexible on something like this. I mean, there has to be room for some empathy for the employee. um especially if the work is not meaningful work and they don't have a work station to go to. I'm inviting Alfredo to explain to you. Okay. So, yeah. So, what we discussed was if you for whatever reason there's a transportation issue, we would see if there's something at the site, the closed site that we can have do. For example, uh this past in January, we had um technology give us Wi-Fi access in one room or two rooms and we were able to keep some employees there. Uh so we would always look at all those options just
114to see what we can do to help and our our night people you would have them moving to another site at night, right? So, our night people, if you would, we would give the option to uh come to an earlier shift and if they didn't want to, then they can come in until there's light and then we'll remove them to a different site. Okay, I'll let them alone for now. Mhm. Let's see how it works. Thank you. Question. Oh, thank you. Okay. Upon the vote being taken, the vote was five in favor, zero opposed.

I'll go ahead and Oh, is that Trusty Na on the first? I'll go ahead and second that one. Thank you. Trusty Nia, please vote. Second. Oh, sorry. This one. Okay. Takes us backwards. Hector, I'm going to need you on this one. Sure. Can you come up? So, Hector, this
119position is not your position. This is to work alongside you, right? Uh yeah, currently I'm director of facility services and oversee both facilities and maintenance and operations. Okay. Uh so with the going back to the two director model retiring later this year uh we'll go back to a director of facilities and a director of maintenance and operations. So uh why do you want to do that? Retire or No, I would tell you to retire. Okay. No, I mean why do you want to go back to the old model? I worked under the old model somewhat. So, um, so, uh, June 30th, it's the last day for a facility supervisor. Chad Goodwin is leaving the district. So, uh, the the, uh, M position requires a full-time director. Uh, the facilities position requires a lot of attention,
120especially now we're not going to have a supervisor. It requires a full-time director. There there's enough work for both positions. Okay. Um, I thought we were going to save some money eliminating one position, but then we come with a new position. Um, the ML director position is the same. We're going back same model when Art was Art was here with the Art Hector model and we're just um revising it uh changing updating it making sure that there's uh updated to the actual current job functions that we actually do especially things have changed from when that job description the old job description was put together. Um, uh, bring in a maintenance operations director frees me up to do the facilities. So, we're how are we doing with facilities? We're not that we're coming to the end
121of that existing pot of money, right? Um, yes, our our current large facility project is the Paloma Valley improvement project. Okay. Uh, we're probably, you know, we just went into a different phase. We're probably 30 40% finished on that one. It's scheduled to finish in 2027. Um, I'm sorry, which one? The Paloma improvements project. The new administration, the NPR, all that work that's happening over there. Yeah. So, we're about 40% scheduled to finish in 2027. Okay. Um, I really don't think we should be doing this. it it's going backwards and I I don't want to not going to discuss your department as it exists but sure you'll be going and what we need is another year. So um how much is this job going to pay I mean we're not saving any money here. We're
122actually going to go up in cost filling this filling a position like this. Chad was making what? I I don't know what he made, but so he leaves and then we just get another job and make the salary even higher. Um yeah, well I mean I'll be here till till I go. Um if this was approved, there will be a facilities uh maintenance operations director. And when when I go I mean if if it's the board's uh perview to not hire a a facilities director, then that's that's the choice there. Okay. Um, but I I I see your your point, Trusty Stafford, uh, I, in my opinion, I think bringing on a maintenance operations director, having somebody that works with me for the next few months until I I go, I think is a good
123thing. I agree because there's a lot of institutional knowledge, a lot of stuff that we do here in the district, a lot of uh, uh, things that that that happen that that to bring somebody up to speed uh, would be a good thing. Okay. Um, Okay. So I'm I'm not here to criticize your department. Sure. So I'm here more for just what we're here for. Uh I hear what you're saying. We don't have to replace you and the other person can catch up. So that's an overlap and that's a good thing. Yeah, I think so. I can agree with that if if the board feels comfortable with that scenario. But I don't want to see two people walking around doing what I don't want guys to do. Sure. And I wouldn't say that if I
124didn't know it hadn't worked in the same shoulder to shoulder for many years. And and that's without naming any names, not talking about who it would be, nothing like that. Yeah. It's just I thought we were going to go it we were going a different which we kind of are, but it's delayed I guess. Maybe. Yeah. uh is is delayed and I kind of think even when you go we're going to be calling for as an insult because there's only a couple of people left that remember all the stuff and that's you me and Art. Yeah. And maybe Jesse, I would thank Jesse. But um these schools, you you you know how we have to go through every corner, every you've got Williams inspections, you've got all these things. And um the the facilities is
125winding down. So I I don't think we're going to need to to keep paying these high salaries. What did we say the salary for this was? Did we say I I didn't look it up. Do we know um anybody? No. Let's click on it. Operator. No, this just has the job. This is just a job description. Just no salary here. Should be there, right? Yeah. Say salary schedule. Important 61 row two. But yeah, there's no salary. Um the number the dollar amount isn't on there. It just says salary schedule 261 row two. 261 row two. Wow. I was just pulling up right now towards the bottom. So So sorry we'll share here. So the salary uh for this position uh maintenance and operations uh is a director too. The base the step one is 169088
126topping out at 197 807. Um the only other things you know I can add is that the um you can help me out with this here. The the previous model that you and Hector are speaking of is when Art and Hector were were each directors and we had an assistant director of maintenance and operations the addition of and this is all summarized in the email that I sent and I think Dr. Aras forwarded back in in December for the proposal of the the change structure. And so when we added the facility supervisor position, it went from three administrators between maintenance and operations and facilities to four administrators. So what we had discussed uh previously was eliminating that facility supervisor. So going down from uh four to three. Um so this model continues to keep three
127because remember when we had well it was Art, it was Hector, it was um Chad and it was Ruben before it was Jesse, but there there was four. So when the construction at Liberty concluded and Art retired earlier than we wanted him to, maybe we could say the same about that with you too. Um that's when we went to the model of having Hector do both and that's why we kept Chad's position on so that we would have three administrators just like before. So this model does the same just in a different fashion. The other thing that Hector and I did is we studied, you know, other districts and what are their their models and um all of the districts we study there's there's a lot to do in facilities that isn't just boots on
128the ground um with construction project there's facilities planning um there's you know CFD administration developer fee reports that sort of thing and so and you'll see all of that in the next item those things are listed in the job description um but that's the salary and then a little bit more history okay um I was just for the board to figure whether they want how they want to vote. Yeah, I have what I need. I appreciate it, actor. Oh, no problem. Anytime. And as we as we know, we we don't take this person. Sure. You're getting ready to get out the door. Okay. No problem. All right. Thank you. Okay, Mr. President. I'm good. Any questions? Okay. Please vote. Upon the vote being taken, we have three in favor, two opposed. Moving on to 14
129nine, personnel, revised job descriptions, director of facilities. Do I have a motion? Some of Thank you, Trusty Garcia. Do I have a second? Thank you, Trusty Annayia. And we any discussion um confused. This is Hector's position now as it exists now. We're taking who what position is this? I thought we were on the the extra person that this is Hector's old position. Yeah, this this is strict director facilities. Uh so there's director of facility services which I do now which covers both maintenance and operations and facilities. This is just director of facilities and and so um approving this just establishes that job description updates that job description because that job description already existed here in the district. That's that's my old job before Art retired and this is what we talked about we wanted cleaned
130up and wiped off the books. No, that was the facility supervisor. any job that's sitting there that we don't know what it is and why it's still sitting on the books, we can always make a new one obviously. So this these hidden jobs, oh well feel like we need that person now which we didn't build for the last 5 years. You know I've been around this district 20 years now. So I think you guys need to understand something here. You cannot keep stacking the administration like this out of And to tell you the truth, you're out the door, Candace. You're out the door. It kind of I don't know. I'm just going to express the way I think people should be doing their jobs because I've done the job and I see a lot of
131people aren't doing their job and hiring more people at these high salaries. I just don't agree with um it because one minute we have money, next minute we don't. The board gets confused. We don't know what to trust. Next board meeting will be a deficit of $10 million because every time we come in here, something changes and now notification, it's not getting around to the board. So that's why it's getting a little uh confusing because you guys aren't telling us this stuff. You pop this stuff on this agenda. Let's see if that goes through. Not I'm not saying you sure I'm not saying any I'm not pointing the finger at anybody. I'm saying the process needs to change. There needs to be some honesty here. We don't need people sitting in offices doing nothing while
132other people are don't even have toilet paper in our district to wipe their butts. It just it amazes me because that was my job. I would have I mean we're paying more for less which we're all doing I guess with the prices of everything but it just I don't know Hector I mean just just baffles me. Anyway, let's go. Thank you. Okay, thanks. Thank you. Please up. Upon the vote being taken, we have two in favor, three opposed. Moving on to 14.10. Personnel consideration approval of stipen for administrators for scholar Saturday. Do I have a motion? Not the wrong number. I just want to make sure. I'll go ahead and I'll I'll make I'll make the motion go. Does anybody have a second? Do we have a second? Someone could second. Okay. So, and then
133compost on the on the first and hall. I'll thank you on the second and then we'll wait for some discussion just in case. Yes, I'd like to make an amendment to this item that for this stipen I would like to make it for assistant principles, not administrators. And if if the principles fill in that this would be other duties as assigned. Do you need to elaborate why I I want that position? I'm taking that position. You want discussion on that? Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll be honest. Uh I think the principles do a lot. They get to dictate and delegate. And I think the assistant principles do a lot hard work, pick up the slack and do all everything. And they're uh I'm going to use the word not as valued as much or compensated. There
134we go. They're not compensated like principles are. And principles get to delegate a lot the work and they have to pick up the slack. That's just my opinion. Okay. Um, quick opinion and I don't know that I should say this, but we'll say so before we get there. Um, so my my amendment I don't want it for administrators. I want it for assistant principles only. So you're making a motion to amend it? Yep. To approve the for. So now we just need a second. Is there a second? I'll second. Thank you. Okay. So now go ahead and discuss. Okay. They're they're not against this. It's the procedures, the standing operating procedures for running a Saturday school. I know they haven't been followed at some places. You are to have a custodian. You are to have
135a security guard. You are not to say that site administrator can walk in there and run a Saturday school. You have an emergency. What is that person going to do? Who knows what school they came from? What? What? What? What? Good. These are cost. This is insurance. You You need to have this. But besides, you don't need the people walking in on Monday to Saturday's mess. That's you don't catch up. But I I know I agree with you 100%. But this is a stipent for the administrators to run it. I I know. I'm talking about the big picture. Oh yeah. Okay. can bring all the administrators you want, but if they're not doing it right, and I know they haven't page, okay, just kind of where is that written? Do they understand this? Um I
136I think when we have other items, possibly agenda, we could make it for the close session for the next meeting because I agree with you. Let's let's dive deeper in that. Yeah. because I I'm concerned that uh we need that administrator definitely. Y it's important to have a Saturday school for credit recovery and so forth. It's important but and proper staffing. Proper staffing so you don't impact the the staff coming in on Monday morning to trash cans full of trash, ants running wild and the whole deal. That's a fact. All of us who work in schools, we know what occurs. So yeah, um just do it right. That's all on that. And if if you have the existing rules written, let's see them. That's a good idea, too. If not, let's see him before the
137first Saturday school. So, it it's my understanding that um and you can email us. And I just need clarification on this. So, I I was under the impression that when we have a scholar Saturday that it was run at the sites individually and it was for their individual students. Am I not correct on that? Or is it like is it only one site having it and it could be any administrator there? Uh my understanding it was at each site. So Liberty is doing theirs, Paris is doing theirs and they have their own staff there. I just want clarification on that because I think what he's saying is it's kind of a we pick a site and it's a free-for-all as to who shows up and actually manages that day. So I just want clarification. So
138I would have to have one of the principal speak on exactly what the process is now, but technically um student you know if the system was in place could attend scholar Saturday anywhere any technically they could and if the system is in place um it could but I think right now it's probably geared more toward the site. It's it's site based. It's sight based. Um now as far as a standard operating procedure, haven't dialed in, but I will tell you in my past practice of running a scholar Saturday, yes, we did have um a custodian that was um uh paid. it wasn't the full four hours like the contract had a three-hour minimum and so they would come before make sure the school was open and then would come after and um like that clear
139up the you know the classrooms that were used and get it ready for Monday. So there are some standard operating procedures that I could work with the principles on to see what's already in place and and what the expectation is. So, so the one of the reasons why I'm making this amendment is I'm under the impression that the administrators, the principles, excuse me, typically don't do the Saturday schools. That's why I want to make sure that the people who are getting compensated are the ones doing it. So, it's an assistant principles. Is it is there ever a time where like an admin designate stands in for them? Um, from what I have seen, there has been both principal, assistant principles, and admin design at times. Am I correct? Yes. So, you're saying you all do
140it Saturdays? So, I'm I'm going to play the devil's advocate and kind of on the other side. I I think um I think that in taking a position like this, we take the flexibility out of uh the site administrators and and I think it then could lead to Well, they all just nodded yes that they did. I wasn't under that impression. I was under the impression they they didn't do it. So, I'm actually Would you guys be okay if I withdrew that so that way you could get commentated? Would you like us to come up and speak and explain to you? No, I don't I don't want that. I just want to be able to move on with the agenda. Would you be offended if I retrieve my amendment? No. So, that means you guys
141will be able to participate. You will participate in the future. Yes, we participate all the time. Well, you know what? If you if you don't mind, could you just please to clarify so that we understand because I think there's a lot of confusion. I mean I would say to go ahead and if you can briefly explain it because I think the confusion here is several things. Um you know it's the actual handling of of the day and then I think that the second part is the inputting of the information and so I just would would like to hear clarification to to clearly understand what it is that we're discussing because I think there's a little bit of confusion. So Saturday scholar Saturdays are the administration works. If the administration cannot work we have a certain
142number of days we can't max out. principles are 220 APs are 210. So there has been admin design that we are not working over the days when an ad admin designate does not cover then the administrative team decides who's going to work amongst themselves and they can say I have to do the master schedule I'll just cover this Saturday or we have athletics I'll go ahead and cover this Saturday. So it is between the five administrators at each site. However, because we're trying to keep our calendar days what they are and not exceed those calendar days and take non-work days during the calendar year when students are present, um there's an admin designate to do that. The only other thing I wanted to add was it isn't surprising to me kind of hear what you're
143saying, uh Mr. Stafford, because ever since I' I've been here eight years, we've never ran a Saturday school without custodians, two two campus supervisors and a custodian. There you go. So, we both and I think my colleagues are pretty much the same in terms of how we staff that. So if that was something that happened a long a while back, that hasn't been the case since I think staff drifts. They forget to follow the seniority list. They they don't want to make the phone calls. They get their favorites. So Mr. Stafford, that's beyond the site principles that are working at Saturday school. We do not schedule custodians and we do not schedule campus supervisors. We schedule the administrative team and the coverage. That that is our perview. True. Your plan supervisor would schedule your custodian
144and I guess Mr. Canon and whoever he designates would handle. And as far as I know, they do follow it. I I do know for a fact there are schools that didn't quite know what they should have been doing and I won't mention any but we are well even if that's a case we are staffed with two campus supervisors and and a custodian. Okay. So the field has kind of changed because it was open to admin design. Okay. APS and and principles that's what it will be open to. So for a long period of time we didn't have designates. It was just the assistant principles and the principles that were running and then within the last four years three four years uh we started including designates because we started going through a more robust way
145of being able to approve them being trained by Mr. Atkins and with the principles and so that's going to happen and also given the exposure if you want to be an administrator to know what it's like when it's not high stakes with 2,500 students you have 150 to 300 kids on a Saturday school. Is this something you want to do administratively? So that's where the admin designate comes in. A lot of them will become administrators. So the people that were here a little bit earlier that I recognized from Paris High School were all my designates uh that have taken on some Saturday schools and have also taken on some discipline because they're trying to get their feet wet to see if they want to be administrators. So they want to be administrators. You're going to
146give them the standard operate procedures and they just follow the rules of right like we're doing like we're doing now. This has to be said because if it doesn't it's just if it's not in place everybody just goes along like oh that's we didn't do that that's not and I think with all due respect the difficulty is all due respect is making a comment that overshadows people that are doing it correctly without addressing who is not doing it correctly. And so we work really hard. All of us have been at the site since 6:45. It's part of the job. You know what I mean? You're talking into the wind. And do you know how many times I got penalized for being the best? Absolutely. Okay. So, uh, it was like, don't tell the other ones
147what you did because we don't want them to feel bad. Well, let's all just get on the same page. Okay. So, we've been around long enough, I know. You guys do a great job. It's not an attack on you. It's about doing the job according to the rules. Okay. Can I um can I I'd like to withdraw my amendment and just keep it as a standard language. Can we move forward from here? Thank you, Dr. D and M Santos. Thank you for your input. Principles, you guys are doing a great job. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So, so now we we'll go back to the original motion. Yeah. which is the consideration approval of siphon for administrators administrators design whatever for scholar Saturday. So it doesn't it doesn't limit anybody from working it out and
148give giving the site administrators the flexibility to figure out depending on the weekend and the schedule because you're you're talking to the uh principal we have to ask uh cabinet if I'm correct does that cover admin designates as administrators in this stipen no design that's contractual and we would have to do that separately right so this only covers principles and assistant principles right okay we change it to So that's why we're leaving it alone because I withdrew mine. So if they want to address the admin design, they'll bring it to us later. Is that accurate? It's contraction and then we have to negotiate. Okay. So if you guys just administer Okay. Correct. Just administrators. I'm going back to the original motion. Okay. So So consideration for approval of stipens for administrators for scholar Saturday. Do
149I have a motion? So move. Thank you. Trusty. Second. Oh, it's already that was myself and then Mr. Stafford. It's right there. But that was on the amendment. But the original Oh, it was you and then Yeah. Okay. So, I was the first second. Okay. So, please vote. There you go. Oh, the vote being taken.

Curriculum multi-year legal services agreement with Hatchet Cesario

Thank you, Trusty Nia. and any discussion. So, I I I do have one thing that I'm going to add. Um, so I know that in the past we've kind of had um, you know, our our conversations about going with the attorneys. Um, I personally feel that we haven't uh given we haven't we haven't stayed with our given Orbach and Henderson the opportunity to do that. Um, because this would be under they do have a special ed department. Um, this would be also covering uh specifically just for special ed and so to not have too many attorneys out there. Um, I'm I I
152feel that we should continue with what we have and not continue to add. So, those are my thoughts and if anybody else any other discussion that'd be great. If not, um, what was what's the reason that we're adding on another attorney? Um, so, uh, at our last forina, I had just brought up that Hatcha Casaro is, uh, a law firm that is only a special education law firm. And I originally had reached out to them for some PDs. I've worked with them in the past in Ventura County. And some of those attorneys um, from Ventura County uh, I noticed are coming here. And so uh there's Hatch of Hatches Casara is uh the main one that uh is the expert in special education. So it allows us to be able to just have second opinion
153on some cases that are really intensive on multifin. Uh and so it's just another uh option. It doesn't take away from OH is our primary um and they do have a section for special education that as you see like we use them but it also allows for sometimes uh consultation on a much uh on some of very complicated layers of special education being the whole firm is only STEM. And so that's it just it allows our leaders to be able to uh really maneuver on some of these because you have law firms that have expertise and then you have law firms that have very specific expertise. So it allows us to just be more a a little stronger on when we're trying to navigate complicated cases. So OH is still our primary as the board
154is directed. It really just um does add another layer of console. Any other discussion? Okay, please vote. On the vote being taken, we have two in favor, three opposed. 14.15 curriculum resolution number 29-2425 for the coursebased independent study courses. Do I have a motion? Thank you, Trusty Garcia. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Trusty Hall. Any discussion? Seeing none, please vote. Uh upon the vote being taken, the vote was five in favor, zero opposed. 14.16 business uh agreement for legal services with Fagen Friedman and Fulfost LLP funded through various facilities fund special education the general fund in the amount of $50 to 380 um per hour. Do I have a motion? So, thank you, Mr. Hall. And do I have a second? I'll go ahead and second that one. Um, and prior to
155I have a little discussion on it. Um, so I did check in. Um, because understanding obviously the situation we had with with the attorneys in the previous ones, uh, this one's being forward. So, we do still have some cases that, um, F3 is is litigating. And so what this is basically allowing is so that those cases can be continued to be litigated by F3 and for o over the course of this year. Obviously if if they extend into next year then that's it would continue. So for example the the KCB towers uh it's close to completion. Um are we allowed to talk about that? What's that? Are we allowed to talk about that in open? Well I'm just saying that we we have an open case. I mean that's open we refer to case number.
156I think Mr. refer to. Okay. Sorry. And that Okay. I apologize. I I've never seen it as a case number always. But anyways, um you have um moving forward. Um basically it allows us to complete those cases so that they can continue working on them and and continue to get paid. Um with the direction of the board, it's not that they're continuing with new cases. They're just finishing up the older cases. So that's kind of the the my position understanding of what this is bringing forward. So we're just keeping them until they finish. Correct. Okay. Any other questions discussion? Okay. Please vote. Okay. We have uh four in favor and one opposed. 14.17 business uh law enforcement services agreement between the Riverside between county of Riverside and the Parish Union High School District for the
