Um, item number six, board member reports. We'll start with board member Belt. Uh, no report other than CTE ribbon cutting. Wala did a great job cutting that ribbon, but we all got to see uh the exciting things that Scarby offered. Actually, she said 500 students already had signed up at
006Diz itself. So, introducing our middle schoolers to the potential of things they might be interested or find out that they're not. but it gives them that introduction. Pretty tremendous program. Thank you, board member D. Young. Thank you, President Naylor. Uh I don't have a report. I have just uh two comments to make. Uh one I kind of want to reiterate for anyone that's listening online and a few people that are in the room that um the one awesome thing about being a board member um is that you're part of a local area. It's not like being a state assemblyman or senator where you don't have accessibility to the public. And so based on the uh public comment we had at the last board meeting on Tuesday, I just want to reiterate that uh you know
007a part of being an elected official is being accessible and that the only individuals that can break the law are the peoples under the Brown Act, which is us, the elected officials, the trustees of FISO unified. Um so I I there's a lot of confusion on that. A lot of those questions I've asked in the masters in governance training through CSBA which is you know kind of the leading I guess you would say uh entity you would go to to ask questions about that. Um and those things are encouraged. So I just wanted to re reiterate that for anyone listening. Uh secondly I've had a lot of comments about my tie and I would just like to uh uh let everyone know who I'm wearing. Uh this tie was made by Isa D. Young who
008is uh was a former kindergartener at uh Denton Elementary and uh going to be a future first grader. And I just wanted to say thank you to Isla for this wonderful tie. And I also wanted to uh also uh kind of give accolades to the district. Uh my three daughters have made leaps and bounds in their academic levels over at Denton Elementary. Uh, and a lot of that has to do with pretty awesome teachers that care about them deeply and the level of uh, support and guidance that they're getting on a day-to-day basis. And I can tell you when I was a student uh, growing up, uh, there would be plenty of times where I'd be like, "Hey, you know, I don't want to go to school. You know, whatever." Uh, my kids are the
009kind of kids that are like, "Dad, we got to go to school. Like, what's going on here? We can't stay home." That that tells me a lot. And that kind of kind of shocks me sometimes, but that's pretty amazing when you have young learning children that want to go to school. They don't want to stay home and mess around, you know, go to the park or whatever with dad. They want to go to school to learn. So that says a lot about Vice Unified. And so with that, uh, that ends my report. Thank you. Thank you. Board member Viegas. Uh, no report. President Miller, board member Gamoyan. Yeah, just one comment real quick on the CTE labs at the middle school. I think that's going to be really beneficial for getting our kids to be
010instead of dabblers, completers of a pathway. So, enjoy your summer everybody. Board Clerk Odo, no report. And back to me. I'm just going to wish everyone a great summer and thank you for all your hard work at all levels. on to uh superintendent report. No report. Thank you. Uh item number eight, general agenda.
