003to, um, say that just last Wednesday, uh, we had an opportunity to celebrate our staff, um, celebrate our longevity honores or recognize our longevity honores. um we like to do it when the whole staff comes together, but this is an opportunity publicly to um to be able to recognize our our staff that have been here with us. And so that first item here is um our longevity. Uh we have other recognitions today that are on our agenda. We'll just take those. But just for this one, um just really excited to be able to share the the moment. So we're going to turn over to Nisha and we'll call people up and take pictures and all of those things. So I'm excited for that. Good evening everyone. uh favorite meeting of the year that we get
004to celebrate our longevity honores, our retirees, our employees of the year. So, um it's an exciting time for us. Uh we will first start with our retirees. And if I can have um Lisa Woolberg come up. She would like to speak about her retirees first. button. Thank you to the board. Take two. Um, that's the joy of going first. Um, I did prepare just a few words, although they are certainly uh inadequate to express our value and appreciation for the retirees we have this year at Holly Glenn. We're so lucky that we have so many um long-term teachers and it really is what makes our school feel so close and so much like a team. So um the first uh of our retirees, Liza Huff, um wish she could be here this evening but was
005unable. Um but I still wanted to say a few things about her. Um when we think of Miss Huff, one of the things that stands out to me is the tremendous way that she infuses art and nature into her classroom. Uh, I have cards uh that are handp painted watercolors from Liza that I will treasure forever and I keep on my walls. She is someone who was a begrudging technology guru and she would laugh if she heard me saying that because she fiercely uh said she would never learn Google and uh now she is is using her interactive whiteboard with the best of them and we get a good chuckle and I think that shows her willingness to grow and her constant commitment to the students in her in her classroom. Um she always goes
006above and beyond, always challenging herself. Um, and she will just be tremendously missed at Holly Glenn. And she's an adventurer and we're all looking forward to seeing where the road leads her next. And, uh, we hope she keeps us posted and that we get lots of postcards from Mrs. Huff. So, um, just will miss her tremendously. Our next retiree is here with us this evening, um, Miss Dedra Jeffrey. And yeah. And um Miss Jeffrey has shared her wealth of knowledge and experience with just hundreds and hundreds of children, creating a warm and loving first learning experience for so many that we know truly lasted them a lifetime. And we know not only was she a constant presence of love to the students in her class but also to her colleagues, her sisters. Um, and I
007wanted to share just I I got a lot of amazing feedback about what Dedra means to so many and I know it will be shared with her over the next month, but I wanted to share just a few words from her colleagues. They call Dedra a guiding light. They said that she has wisdom beyond her years. She sees each student as an individual and meets them where they are. With just a glance, she can bring us to tears laughing or bring us to quick attention because she has I've seen them both in equal power. Um, and Dedra her her her retirement is a loss, but we are so um happy that she is also stepping into her next adventure. We have uh we'll always remember her. We have had our Marty Grub parades, thankful to
008the the tradition that Miss Jeffrey has shared at our school with our kindergarteners uh parading around the yard like the kings and queens of New Orleans every year. Um and it's a tradition we hope will continue um even once if she has retired. um about both of our retirees. I just wanted to say that in my reflecting on on both Liza and on Dedra, the thing that stands out to me the most is that even as they approach retirement, they never ever stopped learning and growing either of them. they were joining coatsen and learning writer workshop and learning interactive whiteboards and being willing to welcome students into their class who would they knew would mean extra support and extra time and learning and I think it's really a testament to our our teachers in Wiseburn
009that they are always also learners and they never stopped growing all the way right into retirement and I really take that personally as inspiration as well. Um, so in conclusion, um, uh, there's a song that kindergarten, uh, shares with one another and that I think Miss Jeffrey was the first ever to share with me actually. That's called I think you're wonderful that they sing. And I just wanted to, uh, conclude with a few lines. When each one of us feels important inside, loving and giving and glad we're alive. Oh, what a difference we'll make in each day. And all because someone decided to say I think you're wonderful. Congratulations. Dedra, if you can come on up. We've got some gifts for you. And board members, please join us for a picture. Nice. Sure. You missed
010the middle. Thank you. Before we move on to our next gohead and ask Nelson so kindly pointed out, could you please leave us undepending? Hand over your heart. Ready? Begin. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. I'd like to call Miss Summer Graves up. She has a few words to say about our next retiree, Margaret Peg Patterson from Aviation Elementary. Thank you and thanks for this opportunity to share some um thoughts about Peg. She wasn't able to attend tonight and wishes she could have. Um but I just want to take a moment to share with you um some wonderful experiences with Peg. She's been with us for nearly 25 years.
011Um she's a constant strength and kindness and has tons of dedication to our students. And I feel very fortunate because before I became principal, I was able to work with her in my fifth grade classroom. Um, and she was one of my aids supporting my students. Um, and it was great to see firsthand her care and her commitment to all of our students um, in the classroom and also out at recess and at lunchtime and the dedication that she um, gave out there helping things to run smoothly and being a calm force on our campus as well. Um, she also made our holidays a whole lot sweeter with her incredible truffles that we will greatly miss as well. Um, something that our whole staff enjoyed. Um, so I just want to wish her a very
012happy, relaxing retirement um, as she goes into her next adventures. All right, our next um set of honores are those employees that have worked in Wiseburn for 10 years. I will be calling you all up um after your name is called if you can come on up. We'll do a group picture and you will also receive your 10-year pin.

Next for 20 years of service, uh, Fernande Fuentes, food service at Aviation, and Liza Huff from Holly Glenn. All right, the next set of folks we have um for 25 years of service, we have a special gift for you as well. If we can have Glafy Carr, Delair Elementary School and Todd Husvea from maintenance in the shop area. [Laughter] Speak that way a little bit. You know, where's the I can just um then we get to um honor some of our um I guess there were you know 25 years is a long time. Uh but now we're moving to 30 years. Um and so um I just want
014to uh say a few things. We're here to to honor Liza Downer today. It's really an honor to be able to just say a few words um about Liza. Um a is you know kids love Liza and when you walk in her classroom it's just very clear that that um can you all hear me? Okay. Sorry. It's very clear that that the students um are engaged not just in the material but just engaged with the teacher and and engaged um with each other. But that's just a really a reflection of the work that Liza does every day with the students. um had a pleasure to work with Liza as the WFA president for for many years, both as a middle school administrator and then in my first uh many years as a superintendent. And I
015just want to say that that the ability for Liza to be a problem solver um to find win-wins, to compromise, and just to work through issues um was really second to none. So um you know, I think she made it a better place for us to to work. I was going to say live. We don't live here, but uh made it a better place for us to work. Um, and when when it's a better place for people to work, it's a better place for kids to learn. So, I just want to thank you, Liza. Congratulations. Um, it's always a pleasure. Congratulations you. All right. And now we are on to 40 years. Um And rumor has it it may be more than 40 years. I heard that. U maybe our math is off a little
016bit. So, we're going to work on that. But it definitely um it may or may not be more than 40 years. But today, we're going to celebrate Chio for her 40 years of service um at Delair and for the district. Um Chio, you may want to start walking up now just because I want to I want you to be a little embarrassed as I talk about you. No, I'm just kidding. um you know a few things that um that Yes. You know, I want to note a few things. When when you walk through the door or or try to get through the door when it's locked at Delair, um the first person to greet you literally every time is Chio. you know, she walks out of the the the um health center, walks to the
017front, and always asks how the day is going. And I say that just to say that how how special is that for a kid? I mean, obviously an adult is special for an adult, but how special is it more for a kid that they have someone that is going to greet them every day, that's going to approach them, that's going to ask how they're doing, um that's going to fix them when they're hurt, um that's going to care for them when they need somebody to care for them when they're at work or at school, sorry. Um, and you know, that's just a treasure. It's a treasure to the district. Um, it's a treasure, you know, for me, uh, personally to be able to walk in and have a joke or share a joke with Chio.
018And, um, she always gives me a hard time, but, I love it. Um, and, um, just want to say we're definitely a better place because of Chio. The district's a better place because of Chio and the kids experience is a better experience because of her. So, thank you, Chio. Congratulations. Appreciate it. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Yes. Yes. I just wanted to say one word. Miss Gio was here when I was here. That's how we know it's more than 40 years. All right, moving on to the next part of our celebrations. Uh we are very excited to have um honores that we get to recognize today. Um, first I'm gonna call up um Kim Jones to introduce um Marissa Larson. All right. Thank you. I'm very excited tonight to be able to honor and recognize
019Marissa Larson, who is a special educator at Aviation Elementary. Um she was recognized by our Southwest SLPA which supports all of our neighboring districts as a community um advisory committee award winner for the work she does to support inclusive practices in our schools. And so we wanted to take a moment to recognize her in our district. She is a full-on team player. She's a part of Katen her school leadership team and she really strives to make sure all kids can succeed. And so we're congratulations to Marissa on this award. Marca Larson is an amazing educator, inclusion specialist, education specialist, and is an advocate for all of our kids. She is warm, engaging. She finds ways to connect with students at all different levels. She collaborates, a lifelong learner. She continues to stretch herself and her
020professional um career by engaging in lots of outside curriculum and support resources. Um she is a leader within the school. I kind of said it already. Everybody look at Tony. [Laughter] part of coach. Marissa is always willing to put her best foot forward, pushes herself professionally, and engages with the entire school community, teachers, students, and staff to support all of our kids. Marissa is one of our exceptional education specialist at aviation. This year, she's working primarily with our third graders, but that does not prevent her from working with all students at our school. She does a great job of creating an inclusive and dynamic learning environment and empowers her students to use all the tools and strategies that they have to be the very best that they can be. Marissa Larson is a wonderful, wonderful
021special educator, a wonderful educator, you know, in general. Her ability to meet students where they are, to be able to adapt curriculum, to be able to provide guidance and support to teachers, to support students is critical. And I think that's the most important part of this is that it's always about the student. It's always about student needs. It's about expectations that she has, these high expectations that she has for student achievement. Um her ability to look at systems. She's always looking for ways to better our practices as it relates our special education program, whether it be programs to help uh solidify goals, her ability to um promote inclusivity, inclusive practices across our district. being that leader in that area and a lead and a connection for teachers is is really important. So, I'm really happy
022and excited and congratulate Marissa for her um recognition as a CAC award winner this year. Marissa, if you can come on up for a picture photo op. You knew that was going to happen. But you bet your hair done special for us. A new award we have this year is our engage, empower, elevate award. And I would like to have Kim say a few words about Brandon Herrera. All right. Well, I'm very excited. Um this was a surprise for I think everyone um this time around and thrilled that our inaugural engage power elevate award is going to Brandon Herrera. Um he's literally the first text I get every morning. So we're always planning uh bright and early um to make sure that our students are supported and they have what they need. Um I can't
023express to you the behindthe-scenes work that happens on a day-to-day basis with Brandon. um ensuring that our kids are supported, that teachers are supported um is truly something that is is empowering and it makes all of us better. So Brandon, congratulations. Brandon is always just an email away, and his prompt responses never go unnoticed. His thoroughess and clarity during IEP meetings makes such a difference, especially in how he communicates important information to families. Despite the challenges of his role, he consistently shows up with a calm and can do attitude. His support for teachers is truly extraordinary. Thank you so much, Brandon. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of district-wide recognition than our wonderful BCBA Brandon Herrera. He is a team player through and through. consistently runs around, flies around this district like a superhero,
024helping our students, our staff, and this greater school as a whole. He does it with kindness, a smile, professionalism, and true dedication to ensure all students are treated with dignity and respect. Brandon, you are a true gift for our district and for our team, and I congratulate you on this recognition. Brandon is amazing. I've known him when he started. He took a little break, came back and has been rocking it with the kiddos. He's so knowledgeable. He's very detail oriented and he serves so many kids here and they love him. I have a couple of guests that want to say stuff about him. What are you going to say? He's awesome. He's cool. I had the privilege of first working with Brandon at Holly Glenn, where we were supporting some of our littlest learners. Even
025then, it was clear that Brandon brought not only deep knowledge and skill to his work, but also a tremendous heart. Since those early days, I'd watched Brandon grow into a calm, trusted, and unwavering presence in our school communities. His ability to support students through thoughtful, individualized strategies and to empower teachers and staff with the tools and confidence they need is remarkable. Brandon helps us build a school where every student is seen, supported, and given the chance to succeed. Congratulations, Brandon. I'm real excited to [Laughter] Brandon is always just an email away and his prompt responses never go unnoticed. His thoroughess and clar This is just Brandon is always just an we could just go live live version. He's gonna go Brandon, you want to come on up for a picture. Thanks. All right. Brandon is
026always just an email away and his prompt responses never go unnoticed. doesn't like Daniel. I'm thinking Oh, are we going to just keep moving here? Okay, that's good. Yeah, we're good. Actually, Brandon provides services to my own kid and so I just want to say thank you Um the next uh honore is going to be our our classified employee of the year. Um who has been with us for for quite some time. I think he's well he was recognized today. 10 years. 10 years. 10 years ago that um he sat in an interview with us and we were uh super excited to be able to bring him on um at the middle school. Um, he's known at the park. He's known at the library. Um, he's known on the corner 135th in Isis. Um, he's
027known as a security guard, as a crossing guard, I think as a librarian. Um, and all of the things. Um, but you know, I I just want to share that that someone who's an absolute team player, Danny, are you here? I I know. I saw you. Oh, hey, Danny. That's right. Come on up, Danny. Yeah. you know, um, one of the things when you're a campus supervisor, uh, particularly at a middle school and probably a high school, but but you know, from frame of reference at a middle school, just the the number of the hats that you wear, the different hats that you wear, um, the requests, the asks, the watching the playground or watching the bathroom or watching the lunchlines or again, as I said, you know, going down the block to the to
028the park or to the library um is is just really critical and Danny's ability to um to do that to multitask um is really important. But, you know, more so I just want to I want to talk a little bit about relationships. Relationships are just really integral when you're in that type of position and you need to, you know, you're relating to kids um to young young adults kind of at that point. They think they're young adults in middle school. um you know and your ability to relate to them um to to to wish um not to wish uh to expect the best from them, you know, to to really be that a gift to them as a role model, as a mentor, as a soccer coach as as as Danny has been over the
029years. Um really takes a special person and it takes a person that's dedicated um and that truly loves kids. So, it's really a pleasure today to um welcome Danny here, to recognize Danny here for his recognition. Congrats. Are we going to give this a shot, Tony? Yeah, we're gonna go. Danny is special because he connects with kids um in a really special way. He goes out of his way to know our students. students are really comfortable with him and he will oftentimes come to us as administrators to say a student shared something or um even more impressive is he knows when a student is having an off day and he will let us know and ask us to check in. I've had the privilege of working with Mr. Daniel and have been able to see
030how dedicated and committed he is to our students. He is hardworking. He's well respected by students and staff and is always willing to go the extra mile. We've worked together to brainstorm ways to be able to support students outside of school at the library and park and he was willing to dedicate his time even beyond his work hours to support students in those areas. And the benefits of his support and his dedication are very very clear with our students. Mr. Dan or Danny is the right figure for next time. Sounds good. Next year. Next year. And now to introduce our certificated employee of the year and our recommendation to the LA County Office of Education as our teacher of the year. I'm going to call up Maggie Mayberry. I am so excited to announce this
031third fifth grade aviation teacher as our credential teacher of the year. Welcome to the toy club. It is a fun one to be a part of. and now she's out to some busy writing just to showcase how amazing she is and talking about all the things that she's done at aviation and beyond in the community. I know you've had quite a week, Dina. So, here you get to go and celebrate again. Her family has had so many celebrations and you get to just put the icing on the cake for all of them. So, thank you for all that you do for our kiddos here. Sorry. I'm feeling a little I think Thank you. Okay, our next presentation, we also have a very special presentation and it is to honor a trustee that has served in
032the district as a board member for 20 years. Uh we do have a special guest that's going to be making some comments. Um and I will go ahead and reserve my comments to after the presentation and comments by Dr. Don Bran. So Dr. Brand, if you could please come up. Thank you, Roger. It's a pleasure and a privilege to be here tonight. And I think I'm here on the right night since it's all about longevity. And uh I'm Shio's still here. Really? Wow. I told her, you know, 15 16 years ago to to go home, but didn't listen. Didn't listen. Well, um yeah, you know, I've worked a lot around the history of the district from its start in 1896 till uh it uh it ended in 2014. We collaborated on the book about all
033that. And in so doing, I I made some notes about uh how things went over what's now been uh over 129 years uh combining the two districts, Weisburn School District and Weisburn Elementary School District that preceded it. 129 years. Your 130th birthday will be in March of 2026. Uh in that time there have been seven superintendent of the district only seven superintendent. Isn't that amazing? The first one was in 1949 when Don Smith was named superintendent. Before that they just had like a lead teacher etc. in the in the beginning decades. And two of those superintendents Dr. Blake and Dr. Tom Jstone uh served in both districts. Um and uh there have been 83 trustees in that 129 years. Only 83 trustees because one of the key success components of this district is longevity and
034and the commitment to the role the the uh not an expectation to use it as a stepping stone to go to the next place. people have really committed here and uh and I think that stability is uh a key factor in the success of the district over 13 decades. So uh tonight um Nelson Martinez joins uh a group of only six others who've worked on the board over 20 years. He achieved that in March of this year. And um he was preceded by Adolf Lucinger, you know, Lucinger High School uh over on Rose Cran. He was the first one to get in the 20 years. He was here in 1896 when it started. He saved the district by agreeing to provide land, a building, and pay the teacher salary when the county superintendent was going
035to close while he's burned down uh because of lack of enrollment. And one interesting thing about him as I researched him, this is just amazing to me. I don't know if there's any other case in America, he never attended a day of school. Never attended. I presume he could read because he would have had a lot of paperwork coming through here. He never attended a day of school. Isn't that amazing? And he has a high school named after him. Don't tell the kids. Uh also getting 20 years. Walt Guerrero is actually longer on the board than anybody, like 33 years. Ron Nathansson, 31 years. Dick Wilson, uh, over 20 years. Can't remember exactly how many. At one time when I was superintendent here, I had all three of them on the board at the same
036time for a while. That was a lot of seniority and a lot of advice, right? And then and um Dennis Curtis 20 years uh was down here two or three years ago to honor Israel Mora for his 20 years and now tonight um Nelson who's achieved this and it's no small thing as you can tell when you think about uh those trustees and to last that long and it's more difficult than ever nowadays in this role. So, uh, I've been here, my wife and I came here in 1953. I was in the third grade and she was in the second and we weren't married then. They had laws against it. We started uh started dating uh at when we went to Hawthorne High School and uh there were some kids in our class at Hawthorne
037that had an innovative uh and successful way to get out of going to Hawthorne High School. The way they did it was unique. They they formed a rock and roll group and they left school on tour in 1962 as the Beach Boys. Okay, they that's what Hawthorne High is remembered for. Nothing that Siri and I did there. They're still out there. I noticed week before last they were playing at the beachfest in Roondo Beach, right? Some of the same people. Uh so that was that was pretty nice. But uh a lot of heritage here of of public service that uh has helped so many. It's it's really how you touch the future when you commit your career to young people and then see what happens down the line. And so you see people here with
038as much as 40 years of service. I don't know what all that service added up to, but it's uh it's over a hundred years I'm sure tonight that you recognize. So I just uh wanted to come down here in person and thank you Nelson for your service to the community. I was with him on uh uh March of 2005 uh when he was preparing to interview for an appointment to the board. There are about half a dozen people trying to get that appointment and he got it and he's still here. Okay. I mean, that's pretty amazing. So, I don't know if you want to say anything in your own defense, but uh thank you for your service to the community and and keep it going like uh Chio is maybe maybe not much. Thank you.
039Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Brand. I also want to say a few words uh uh with regards to Nelson service like to just share with everyone and remind folks that as you see us here in terms of the trustees for the for the board we're all members of the district we all meaning we all live in the community may be in Holly Glenn Weisburn at Dair 360 now as well um we all h have kids that have attended most of us have had kids that have attended uh the the district here It's an absolute wonderful place to be. It's a pleasure to be here. Um the commitment that Nelson has specifically made to the community for 20 years being on the board. It actually goes even before that because he was a student here and
040he he is the person that is questioning the math in case everyone was uh the question you hear with regards to Chio in terms of how long she's been here with us at the district. Nelson actually knows the answer to that, but he won't tell us. So, but I wanted to say thank you, Nelson, for your incredible service here on the board and being such a wonderful community member as well and helping us all collectively uh raise our our children and our students within our community, but also in our school district. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your time. Any other comments before I turn it over to Nelson? I'd like to say I'd like to make one. Is that okay? Um, so you know, one thing that Nelson, he's not gonna like
041I'm sh I'm sharing this, but I'm gonna share it anyway. He actually said he's gonna go for 40 years and he wants to he's he's he's hoping to uh surpass everybody on the list that Dr. Bran just shared. So um look forward to that, Nelson. Looking forward to that. No. Um but but I do want to say that um despite that that um you know your service has been is it's truly amazing. your ability to be a mentor, um to be a voice, being someone who really is an advocate for the community and for the kids, um is really remarkable. You know, the day that you're not on the board is going to be a day that's going to be it's going to be a sad day. Um you know, your service is it's, you
042know, solid. It's it's shore-footed and um just really appreciate the time that you've spent with me and I'm sure with those that that were before me um to uh make this district the best it could be. So, thank you, Nelson. Nelson. Thank you, Roger. First of all, I want to thank uh Don for the recognition. Uh being recognized uh by you as a former Weisber USD superintendent and alum pretty special. So, thank you. Thank you for that. Um I also just want to share with the community I am the lucky one. I am the one that's very grateful. Um, serving on this board has been one of the greatest honors of my lifetime and I have the privilege and opportunity to work with wonderful colleagues past and present. Obviously, it's been 20 years, right? Um,
043and you know, I've had the opportunity to work with inspiring leaders like Don, Tom, and now now Blake, and and working with a dedicated cabinet and the real heroes, which you heard tonight, right? Our our dedicated staff and teachers. That's why I moved into the district and I wanted my kids here in this district. And you heard the special stories tonight. That's what it's about. It's people that really care. That's what drives me to to u be here in this seat. And I'm grateful to the community. The community has entrusted me all these years. And um and you know, it's just a special place. It's a place I I moved here. It's because of that. And it's it's pretty pretty special. So, I am the lucky one. I'm the lucky one here tonight. And I

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm the lucky one. Thank you. Picture as well. You get to be in the middle. the honor to come here and take a picture with me as well. That's right. One more time. none of this would happen without her support. So, I want to thank As we conclude our special presentations today, I do want to make a couple of quick comments. Um, Dr. Neil Goldman could not join us here. He's a one of our trustees, but he does send his love, his appreciation, and his thank yous to each and every one of
045you that have contributed so much to to the district. He apologizes for not being able to be here, but his his heart is definitely with us at the Wisman Unified School District. And thank you on his behalf. He wishes he could have been here, but uh I'm sure you'll see him around. He's very active and a great addition to our board. So, thank you. Okay. All right. We're uh that concludes our special presentation. So, we're going to go on to our next item. But before we do, maybe um you're welcome to stay, but uh you're also welcome to depart. Yeah, we take a take a five minute break. Thank you. Italian celebrates first. Congratulations. No way. Wait, wait, wait. Not a bad husband. You did. I was like, "Wow. celebration. Yes. This is bye. 16.
046She's 16. She's a sophomore. Yeah. But amazing, but still amazing. Yeah. [Music] That's exactly right. That's exactly right. I actually think it's better for us because every year is different. Do you know do you know I I I'm grateful for that all the time is that yes we've been in this job for so long but every year is so uniquely different and has different challenges and I do feel like that's why you can say this and some results often Thank you. We will resume in just a few minutes. I think uh we lost our superintendent, so he will be back in a couple minutes. Normally at the end of year my eye starts twitching just because it's a very stressful time of year. Oh, now it's Oh, no. No, I know. I think we're good.
047ready. Okay. Welcome everyone. We're going to go ahead and resume with our with our agenda. We are on section five which are comments from the public on non-aggenda items and I do have two pink um slips. Um just as a reminder, we do have 20 minutes for public comment. Each speaker is granted three minutes uh to to speak to the board and based on the Brown Act, we are not uh we cannot respond to the comments. We appreciate your input and thoughts. Um and I will have the first speaker, Miss Kelly Shoemaker, please. If it's green, right? Good evening, Weisburn leadership. Once teachers calendars turn to May, the end of the school year begins h hurtling at us like a freight train. In addition to our day-to-day planning and teaching, we add all the tasks
048involved with buttoning up the school year. Teachers do not welcome big unexpected announcements in May, but they seem to have become a tradition in Weisburn. The decision to switch to a full-day schedule made 9 days before the end of the 202021 school year was the first. Clarity is kind. Clarity is the antidote to anxiety. Timing is everything. Had this decision been made two months earlier or been held off for a year, proper planning and teacher collaboration could have been facilitated and teachers would have felt more prepared for this major shift. The announcement of the collapse of one of the Da Vinci high schools to create a Wiseburn non-charter option weeks before graduation 2023 was another. In the end, it turned out that we had been privy to a conversation that ought to have happened in
049ought to have been contained to administrative offices. Clarity is kind. Clarity is the antidote to anxiety. Timing is everything. If a collegial joint announcement had been made two months earlier, the chaos could have at least been mitigated. There have been three unwelcome announcements so far this May. the cancellation of general education summer school well after teacher applications were submitted. News shared by horrified parents that the permits of students with IEPs in certain grade levels had been unexpectedly revoked and the announcement last week that the principles at Holly Glenn in the middle school will swap places. Clarity is kind. Clarity is the antidote to anxiety. Timing is everything. These three decisions feel neither kind nor clear. Once again, we are ending a school year with a bitter taste in our mouths. The best teacher appreciation gift
050in the world would be for you, our Wiseburn leadership, to consider the impact decisions will have on all stakeholders. Clarity is kind. What will the implementation of these decisions or new programs look like, sound like, and feel like to people working and learning in schools? What planning and collaboration needs to be facilitated to ensure successful implementation? Clarity is the antidote to anxiety. How will the why behind this decision be clearly defined so stakeholders understand its importance and support it? And if it is May, please please consider can this wait because we teachers want to begin ending our school years with joy once again. Timing is everything. Thank you. Thank you. Our second speaker is Erin Hen. Hello. Hello. Thank you for having me. My name is Aaron Hen. I'm a TK teacher at Holly Glenn.
051I've taught for 19 years and nine years in the Weisburn School District. Uh I'm also a community member. My two girls are in seventh and fourth grade. So the community means a lot to me. Um so thank you for being here and supporting us. Uh yesterday we toured sorry yesterday we toured the new kindergarten wing at Holly Glenn and I was very impressed by the size of the rooms, the flooring, the tile and the carpet. The amount of work that has been accomplished watching it from the other side has been really impressive. The fact that two teachers can share a small workspace connecting their classroom is amazing. So thank you for the investment in our new wing. I'm here to speak to you tonight because four of us will be moving into the new rooms
052and there's some some concerns with the design choices. We have expressed our professional expertise and we feel we haven't been heard. I realize the rooms are not yet finished and I feel it is important to bring this to your attention before the rooms are finalized. My current classroom has an entire wall of storage and another wall of cubbies. I'm sure you can imagine that I have many books, supplies, activities, games, and manipulatives for the students. I have taken some photos of my current space along with the new spaces to give you an idea. In the rooms that we saw yesterday, there was a small row of hi-fi thigh cabinets. The storage would not begin to accommodate the classroom supplies. The idea of flexible storage and design may be appropriate for middle school and high school
053but however not functional for TK. As I mentioned, currently uh I have state-of-the-art storage in my current room. Moving forward, may I suggest that similar storage to what we have now be installed. I strongly believe that ver that all teachers should be organized for all our students comparable to the 29 other classrooms at Holly Glenn. The year before last, when I was in a different classroom, there was very little storage and I went to Home Depot and bought bins and garage um shelving before moving back onto the main campus. The storage was a big issue for me. I am here to just say please listen and our concerns. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for your comments, Wendy. Do we have any other comments uh from members of the community online? Okay,
054great. Thank you. Let's see. We are we are going to move on to section seven of our agenda. Uh item 7.1 is board member reports. This time I'm going to start on my right hand side with Nelson. Your brother. Um just one one comment. This is my favorite board meeting of the year because we get to recognize the long long time honores and the retirees and I just want to express my gratitude um to all the people that were recognized. Thank you that all all the people that were recognized tonight. Uh congratulations again to them and to their families. Um, and to those that are re retiring, uh, again, I just want to thank you for your dedication to your career and basically supporting our our young minds and guiding them to their futures um
055and and and and just everything that you you do. It's really a special night and um again um wonderful wonderful moment. I'm glad um to share this. I'm glad we get to do this every year in in May. So, deep sincere thank you. I'm I'm sad that I didn't get to say that while they were here, but um again, just a deep gratitude. I think in light of tonight and the theme, I think it's fair to say that when you come to Weisburn, you stay or retire in Weise. That's it. Thank you. Thank you, Nelson. We'll go to Michelle. Um I would just like to echo that sentiment. Um this is a very special place and I've always said it. Um uh and I think what Dr. Brandt had said really hit me is that
056the key to success is longevity and it's u that show of commitment to this place that we love. Um and so I wanted to just echo that. Um I wanted to uh just also say thank you as the year is winding down. It is May and a lot of us like to call it Mayber because it's crazy. Um, and so I just wanted to um acknowledge just all the hard work uh that all the teachers and staff are continuing uh to to make uh to close up this year. And so, yep, you Thank you, Michelle. Next, we'll go to Rebecca. Thanks, Roger. Yep. I just have to echo my colleagues, but um I'm going to lean in on the growth that uh was uh talked about for all of the the long the people who
057were here for a long time. For all of the folks who won awards, it was about the fact that they were willing to continue to grow and to learn and to be part of teaching our students, new generations of them. Um really grateful. Um I was really surprised at the number of folks who have actually taught my own kids among um among the retirees, among the the award winners, among the longevity winners. So um you know, Wisburn is a small community and um and it's really great to to see folks stay um and be part of it. I did not if you would asked me a year ago, you know, before we moved here when my now fourth grader was eight months old, if we would still be here, I would have told you absolutely
058not. like I'm not I I had never lived somewhere as long as I've lived here and I can't imagine leaving. In fact, I now own a home here. So, you know, um not going anywhere. But, uh anyways, congratulations to all of the award winners and to all of the longevity uh recipients. Um we're really really grateful for all of your service. Um, and then I just wanted to mention I had the opportunity yesterday, I think with Roger to listen into um some reports on the governor's uh May revised budget and I'm sure Sean's going to share more with us maybe about um you know some of the trends that we're hearing. But just um know that we are continuing to plan for the budget and its implications and continuing to watch what's happening. Um we
059know that there are implications not just for this year but for years to come um in both what has been proposed, what negotiations will happen. Um we also know that that's happening at the federal level and those implications um we take seriously um here too. So I just wanted to acknowledge that as well. Um and yeah, almost the end guys, almost the end of May. We got a three-day weekend coming up, right? Okay. All right, Roger. Great. Thank Thank you, Rebecca. Just wanted to reiterate again, thank you to all of our award recipients today. What a wonderful meeting. What a wonderful time to be able to recognize all our contributors here within Weisburn. Um I think everyone knows my wife and I have raised our four children here in the Weisburn uh community and our
060youngest is in 11th grade at Da Vinci, but they have all gone through Wise and K program. So we're incredibly grateful and proud of their accomplishments as well. So, thank you to all our recipients and all of their teachers and everyone that's contributed uh to to their education and growth. Three of them, one have one graduate from college, two that are in college, and one we'll see is in 11th grade, but we have high hopes for him as well, whatever he decides to choose uh in terms of his path forward. But again, that can only happen with all the tremendous dedication of our Wise staff and um custodial services, everyone that contributes. So, thank you. Thank you for that. Um, one other comment as well. Thank you, Rebecca, for your comments on the on the
061uh uh on the May rebs and the budget. Sean has all the answers for us as we move forward. He's going to remove all the uncertainty on the budget issues. No, I just we share those comments a little bit in Jess because there is a little there's a quite a bit of uncertainty, but just know that we have a a great team and uh Dr. Silvers and um and Dr. Dr. Dooall and Sean and our administrative staff, the budget is a critical critical issue for us to look at and as we move forward. Um, we don't have all the answers. Um, in fact, the governor um and the all of their staff, they're still trying to figure out how much funding we'll have for next year. So, we will have to see as we move
062forward. Uh, we will make a solid plan to move forward with some assumptions based on the information that we have at the at that moment in time. Should it change, which it will, is what we've been told. We'll have to adjust as we go, but um our Wisburn faculty association and CSEA, you're tremendous partners with us and we're going to figure out a fantastic way to move forward. Again, uh depending on what they share with us, we will definitely be inclusive in all of those conversations as we move forward because at the end of the day, we're these are all our children and our students. We have to make the right decisions for them. So, more to come on the budget. That's all I have. And um our next item is 7.2 is mathematics update.
063And I do believe there's a presentation by Miss Holly Compton. Good evening. I'm so excited to be here with you to share the math update. Um I've just completed or I'm about to complete year two with the Wiseburn staff and community. And um I have a unique perspective because um I get to see all of the classrooms and all of the teachers teaching in their classrooms. Um but I also get to see the inner workings and planning and all of the the details that the um the teachers and excuse me put forth in their work. Um, and I wish all of the colleagues were still here that um that came to the presentation and the awards, but um these fine teachers here are some of um our best and um we we can't um say
064enough how thankful we are for you. Um so anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to the teachers too because I will tell you from my perspective, the teachers put in so much work. they are dedicated and they are a really caring and loving staff. Um so thank you. Um this year we have um implemented a new math curriculum um which of course is a huge undertaking. Um lots of learning and um lots of planning went into this year. Um, I just want to say that the teachers put all of their effort into learning this new curriculum and they came out with solid plans for next year moving forward. Um, we took a lot of notes this year. Every single team and every single grade took notes online in our Google Docs so that
065we were more prepare or that we are prepared for next year as we are um making minor shifts and changes um in what we are doing this year. Um, I will say our upper grade teachers um just finished um ESPback testing and they did say that it it looked very challenging this year and um we really felt confident in um the rigor that we achieved this year with our students um in Eureka math squared. Um so I'm grateful for all of the work that the teachers put in. Um and we also have been on our PLC journey. That's our professional learning communities. Um we have had um members of our uh guiding coalition um attending CAPS trainings. And um another unique perspective is I don't just get to see the CAPS trainings and um you
066go to the training and you come back and and nothing changes, right? We have been going to these CAPS trainings and I will tell you and I'm sure Miss Li Gatsby can tell you too because I know you've done these trainings as well. They are so impactful. Um I have really watched um teachers who are already great level up and shift and change and grow. And I have been nothing short of impressed with the work that they have done. And I keep saying I'm so excited for my own daughter Calie to enter TK. I'm a resident here in Holly Glenn. Um, so she'll be in TK in a couple years and I'm I'm super excited that she gets to um have a chance to learn from our wonderful teachers who have been on their path,
067too. Um, let's see. Uh, we had release days this year for grades K to five. Um, and we really put our heads together on what we wanted to um focus on. Um, we had talked about last year essential standards and we had identified them, but turns out in our CAPS training we learned that we may have overidentified because we thought everything was essential, right? So, you have to kind of whittle down. So, we've really been working on that this year and um it has been a true joy to see the teachers um working together. Um we had our last one today which was our kindergarten team and um there's so much knowledge that comes from that team which is a wealth of information. Um one of our retirees is on that team so it's a
068wonderful wonderful group of people to work with. Um I want to say that the collaboration that the teachers have done this year has been very intentional. Um in the PLC trainings they say uh they use a phrase called collaboration. You're not supposed to get together and just chitchat. You're supposed to get together and collaborate and work and that is what they do. Um so we have been really intentional with the work that we have done this year um using our curriculum maps and thinking about how um to infuse CGI into the work that we're doing with mathematics. Um, lastly, I've gotten to pop into classrooms to see teachers in action um, which has been really wonderful for me getting into so many rooms and classrooms and um, just seeing everybody at work. So, thank you
069for all that you do. Thank you for all that you do. Um, I'm grateful for this opportunity to talk to the board tonight. Great. Lake, I'm going to turn it over to you for district leadership reports. All right, I'm going to take it away. Um, I don't think there are any updates from from the team today, right? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Just want to verify. Sean has quite a bit, right? Yeah, I think uh he's ready for his uh he's going to give an update on the May revise right now. Yeah, I could give a brief overview right now just kind of talking points, but I mean we'll go into much more detail when we adopt a budget. Yeah. And and also I think Sean, you know, we're putting together a uh a committee. We're going
070to have the the budget committee meeting, too. We'll be able to give some more detail there now that the second interim's out and the school services out. So, we'll we'll get get to you all on that and and be able to go through it. So, perfect. Okay. Um so, I'll just take it away then, Roger. Should I just go? Okay. Superintendent report. Yes. Okay. Um, just want to say um, you know, it really is like one of the best days of the year, you know, to be able to I'd say last Wednesday was pretty cool and and this one um, really is is a special day and um, I want to thank the teachers for showing up um, both for their colleagues and actually for the recognition. I mean, we have to recognize it is
071the end of the school year. You know, uh, CAST testing has has been going on. I mean, there's just events all over the place. Open houses and SLC last night. Um, we had a musical production a couple weeks ago and just there's a lot going on in May. Um, a lot going on and we're we're getting to this I can't wait for this three-day weekend, but we're getting close to this 3-day weekend and um, so I just want to thank you all for for those are here, those that left just for being here and for celebrating your colleagues, your friends um, and also being able to celebrate you um, for for the time. So, uh, thank you for that. U, it just it it reminded me, you know, my daughters came home. For those of
072you that don't know, I have a daughter that's going to go into senior year in college and another one that's going to be going into sophomore year. I know the first thing you're going to say is you don't look that old to have daughters as a senior. And I No, I'm just kidding, everybody. Um but um what what what I do want to say is when they came when they came home, you know, it's when you're in college, obviously you're coming home in May. Um one of the first things that they said is they want to go they wanted to go see their teachers. You know, they wanted to go to Dana and see their teachers. And as a parent, as an educator, that's a big deal, right? as a parent just to have know
073that your kids want to go see their teachers from middle school. Uh it's pretty special. And so I just want to say, you know, to to the extent that that you all can share that with with your colleagues. Um Robin, I know you're here. Um I mean, it's just it's truly special that my kids had such saw such value um in that very important time in their life that that that's something that they remembered and came home. So it just really really resonates with me um how important, you know, you all are, you know, to our kids. Um and uh thank you. So, thank you for that. Um, also want to share um want to point out a kid. I want to thank uh Da Vinci Schools. Um, and I'm I'm speaking about Newsies. We
074had a wonderful um, you know, musical that that aired, you know, showed a couple couple weeks ago and um, it was amazing. The kids were amazing. I believe I shared that at the last board meeting. I talked about, you know, just just the the amazingness of it. But when I say Da Vinci schools, there were a group of kids that came and were like the tech hands or you know, is that what is that what you call it? Tech hands or tech tech. Okay. Tech crew or something? Um, and there was this one one young excuse me, one young man that was doing the sound on Friday night. It it was a kind of a tough night for sound. Um, but prior to being a tough night for sound, he was there. I mean, he
075was so engaged. He's hiding behind this wall. I could see him, you know, from where I was sitting, but he was hiding behind this wall, you know, I guess that's part of the deal. And he was so engaged, not only with the music and but he was directing, he was I it was just, you know, when you see kids doing that and seeing kids like take that type of leadership role, um it's just it's it's really really amazing and impressive. And um he was that and then things went wrong and I mean he you know his care I mean he was so upset that this was going because but I know he just wanted it to be so good and um you know he didn't um you know something happened with the Bluetooth and all
076that. That's another joke but I won't say it publicly. We'll talk about that later. Um but his response to that was was just I mean I just was I don't know it was heart you know just or heartwarming not wrenching um to see him the care that he had for that for that um for his role in that and just seeing some of the high school students come back and and give back to the community and give back to the younger kids. Um I think his name was EJ. That's what I've heard. So I'm just going to say EJ and and and really really thought that was that was an awesome it was just awesome to watch watch that. you know, it's like the little stories, you know, within the big story. Um, and we
077do want to have our musical group come back and and and you know, present them to the board at one point. So, maybe EJ will will join. Um, but I just wanted to say that. Um, I also wanted to uh share I had an opportunity to go to SLC last night, student le conferences at the middle school. Um, and uh that's always a special day. I had two parents come up to me. I wasn't there a long time. So in that time I had two parents come up to me who are new to our district, sixth grade families that were really I mean they were amazed by the teachers, by the setup, by the the questions, by you know I know eighth graders do an exit interview but these were these were younger kids. Just
078being able to present their portfolio and just to see that practice still going on and going strong is is really really um it's it's just an awesome thing to see. So, uh, wanted to, you know, it's always nice when parents stop you and say something's good, you know, I mean, it's really a nice, uh, nice thing. And so, I I was thankful for that and thankful for the teachers that were here last night, some are here again tonight. Um, so just a lot a lot going on there. Um, lastly, you know, I want to um, thank I know Robin and Dee are here today, our WFA leadership. Thank you for um, your collaboration this year. um thank you for um really being advocates for the teachers and um you know for the counselors and and
079all those all those people. I just think it's just a really um you know you guys teachers are in good hands you know with the with the advocacy um you know and the the support and again problem solving and all of that and as we get to the end of the year I was a union vice president and negotiator um I get it and I know that um you know your hearts are all in the right place and just thank you you know from the bottom of my heart for the work that you've done this year um I just appreciate it so thank you. That's all I have today. Thank you Blake. Next, we're going to go to section eight of our agenda, which are public comments on items that are on the agenda. So,
080Wendy, do we have any uh comments online? No. Seeing none in the room. Okay, we're going to move on to section nine. Section nine is a consent agenda items. Is there a motion to approve item 9.1 that encompasses 9.2? two through 9.5. We have a motion for 9.1. A second. Rebecca, any comments or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I I motion carries 40. Next is uh section 10, which are action items. Um item 10.1 uh rejection of claims against the district. Is there a motion to approve? Motion from Nelson. A second. Second. Sh. Any comments or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I. Motion carries 40. Item 10.2 is to approve settlement agreement OAH case number 30652. Is there a motion to to approve? Moved back a second. Again. So any comments
081or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I motion carries 40. Uh item 10.3 is to approve local. Sorry, just Roger real quick. I know. I'm sorry. I was going to share it earlier, but um we did remove that that presentation. We're actually removing that. It's the same item associated with the presentation. uh for the local indic and you know I just want to say this was an administrative mistake on my part. We had had it thinking we were going to do it the last meeting but realized we need to do it in conjunction with the LCAP and I just kicked it over to the next meeting instead of kicking over two meetings. So it showed up. Sorry I missed it. Um but we'll we'll pull it same presentation we'll put on the next uh
082and you all got it in your update so at least you had a couple extra weeks to to look at it and if you have any questions happy to happy to answer them. Do you need a motion to take? So, is there a motion to Yeah. to to pull item 10.3? You have a motion to pull item 10.3. Motion from Nelson. A second. Second, Rebecca. All those in favor? I. So, we pulled the presentation but forgot both. Right. Correct. So, the actual report. Great. So, so both of them have been pulled now. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Blake. Item 10.4 is to receive board policies for second reading and adoption. Is there a motion? So moved. Shall a second. Second. Also, any comments or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I I motion
083carries 40. Thank you. Next is section 11, which is facilities. Let make sure. Yes. Item 11.1 is amendment number one to agreement uh to an agreement for Holly Glenn TK playground project uh to the lab of record for consulting services with fennel engineering and testing. Is there any objection to take in all these facility items through I think so I could read the so yeah if we took these it would be 11.1 we would not be voting on 11.3 two uh 2 three and seven so we could take it as a slate without two three and seven if uh the board so chooses two three yes I would like a motion on what Blake just said. We would be uh the motion would be for 111, 114, 115, 116, 118, 119, and 1110. That's it.
084So move. All right, second. Motion from Nelson, a second from Rebecca. Any comments or questions? Um I have one comment if I can make it. Um, I just want to say the the reason for pulling the uh three of those items were related to the SLC relocation. And the reason we're pulling that is because we were waiting for today hoping that DSA, the division of state architect uh would approve the plans and at 4 as of 4:30 they had not. So, um unfortunately there's three items that are all associated with that move um that we'll have to bring back uh to the board. And just, you know, for probably more information than we need right now, but we are having to look at a potential contingency plan for our futures program and our SLC program
085for summer school, but also for the start of the new school year in the event that we can't get the permanent foundation down, the buildings moved and and and put up before then. So, we are working. I know Matt's been really helpful with Da Vinci trying to help us find some space um as well. So, there will be a plan. Uh we'll get it, but it's just why we're pulling it for now. And those items we we look at um bringing them back once DSA has approved the project. So those will be on a future agenda item. The project still going to move forward but just at a different time. Sure. Absolutely. Hopefully the next meeting. Great. Okay. So I have a motion from Nelson, a second from Rebecca for those items. Is no more
086comments or questions? I'll take a a vote. All those in favor? I. Thank you. Motion carries 40. Section 12 is fiscal to approve an agreement with Quarter Creative LLC. Is there a motion? Nelson Rebecca. Any comments or questions comment adds to Erica. I'm Rebecca. when I got that. Erica adds um you know we see evidence of it every single day that I open up my phone. So um happy happy to um prove this agreement. Thank you Michelle. Rebecca. Yeah, along the same lines, just um really grateful for all the work that Erica and her team continue to do um to help us with a variety of things seen and unseen um with regard to how we communicate what we share, how we share it um and engage our community and all of that. Um just
087an integral part of the team here. So grateful that we continue to have our services. say two highlights that I would point out is one that pretty much every and I've shared this publicly before. Pretty much every comment that's made on social media is responded to. You know that a parent makes a comment, there's a response to it. Um that's not easy. I mean that takes a ton of time. It's a lot of it's a lot of and sometimes it's not it's it's tricky responses. It's not always a response that you know is just right off the top. So um you know that's one. And also there's this whole piece on we're 37 36% permit um you know district and so marketing enrollment is absolutely critical as you all know and um Erica has really
