001good evening everybody Welcome to the wiseburn unified school board meeting my name is Neil Goldman I'm the vice president sitting in for Roger bonelos who could not be here tonight uh nor could Michelle on personal matters so we wish them well and you have a you have a skinny crew here tonight so nice to see everybody and welcome uh to begin our meeting Wendy would you take roll call please miss Cappy pres Mr Martinez Pres Dr Goldman present Ben Willow Andy are thank you Wendy uh let's now move to the Pledge of Allegiance Steve would you be so kind ready begin I to the flag of the United States of America and to the stands one nation indivisible thank you everybody this is our second meeting of the month and should be a rather brief

002meeting as far as our meetings go uh but not with unimportant things so we will move to um a adoption of the agenda do we have a motion to approve the agenda please second thank you very much we're going to see a lot of that happening tonight and Rebecca uh all in favor I I don't three pass it uh do we have any public comments Wendy I do not have any public comments were not oh yes not agendized not agenda items Tony anything you wouldn't see that either all right no comments um I guess we move right into board member reports Becca I'll turn to you sure uh good evening everyone uh so I attended the uh LA County Schools trustees ass association meeting in person and Paramount on Monday night um it was really

003interesting it was great there were about 20 school districts across LA county that were represented there um Roger and I are wise's reps for that um and he couldn't make it in person so I I went for us um and I just wanted to share back a couple of the things that the uh that they talked about um so the first thing was they had uh the red cards from The Immigrant legal Resource Center there for folks to hand out and I know that we've received some of those in our district they are designed to help people assert their rights and defend themselves in the case they encounter Federal uh agents uh in particular their home or things like that um but I know they're being distri distributed by Lego and I've heard that we

004have received some of them here in the district um and I just want to make sure that we I understand how we're Distributing them and um and where folks can access them should they need it um having access to those know your rights resources I think at a time like this is particularly important um the LA County Office of immigration Affairs has um a number of resources on their website just want to make sure that we're doing that that was the first thing relatedly um we heard several legislative updates there's a coast to coast coming up which is a lobbying visit in Washington Washington DC for um across California um it's coming up in I believe in April um and so I don't know that any of us are attending but just keeping track of

005um of what's happening there making sure that we're you know engaged there's a lot of things happening in Washington that um affect uh schools and education and um so it's great that that that's occurring uh and then in similarly in uh csba the California Schoolboard Association is having their uh legislative advocacy week in March and I can get the exact dates but um but uh you know I think it would be good I think there are issues that for us that are relevant on what they're doing so we should consider it's a virtual thing so Schoolboard members can par ipate virtually um a couple bills that they uh talked about uh at the meeting U and I also attended a separate meeting after the last laxa meeting about this um is uh ab49 and SB

00648 they're both pending uh legislation in Sacramento that would essentially codify the Supreme Court decision in plyer versus doe which guaranteed that all children have a right to a free public education regardless of their immigration status um as we know the federal Administration has repeatedly vowed to carry out quote quot the largest deportation in American history and is consequently I think threatening this right uh and Deport and um California's educational promise to its students uh these bills would restrict local educational agencies leas and local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with Federal immigration enforcement officers on or near school grounds providing additional protection for students and families to attend school safely um so there's some lobbying that's happening around that um advocacy work that's happening from both Schoolboard members uh around the the state but also

007local representative Senator Lena Gonzalez is the sponsor of the S sp48 and Al morace is a sponsor of ab49 um so just bringing those pieces back and then um the bulk of the meeting was spent talking about um uh inclusive curriculum adoption processes in particular they focused on math adoptions um and so I know we just did our math adoption last year the thing that was I thought um particularly interesting about this was the idea that even when you go through the math the adoption process that um English Learners you end up having to purchase a bunch of supplemental materials because the whatever thing you've adopted doesn't uh fully account for those families and I know that I had heard that from at least one parent when we were going through the adoption process last

008year that potentially the materials weren't very accessible for nonnative English speakers so I am curious um to know how it's going with the uh implementation of Eureka math squared whether we've had any feedback either from teachers or parents about the accessibility of um materials to De students and parents and families in general right exactly yeah but yes um so I was happy that you know I got to share a bit about the that we had gone through the adoption and that we had uh what we were doing to support math and District which was great and um so it was a it was a lovely even got to hear from the miachi band that uh they have in Paramount unified and bunch of students play you know I love hearing our students play music so

009that was great uh and then the last thing I'll share is that um I would happy to attend the Middle School's uh open house last night I got to go around and um visit uh the classrooms I have a sixth grader but I got to visit mostly the seventh and eighth grade classrooms uh and go and uh see what's what's to come um but it was nice to see families on campus fifth grade families other kids checking out the uh the school and and just getting to um experience all the wonderful things that um we have going on in our classrooms and making like origami butterflies and bucket lists for yourself and your kids and all kinds of things so it was it was a lovely evening so that's it thank you thank youil just

010one quick item for me both Roger and I had an opportunity to attend the cash conference uh this past week cash stands for the Coalition of adequate School Housing Organization that supports infrastructure and Facilities uh for schools throughout the state of California some challenging interesting times um um for school facilities um few things that are taking place is obviously there's a lot of construction cost escalation so very uncertain a myriad of factors and not only just Mega projects now with possible tariffs and so forth so you really it's could really be difficult for schools to really really uh get a a hold of their estimates right for a lot of the construction projects so that's a that's one of the challenges that that is taking place but the other challenge right now and you'll you'll

011probably see it U across the state is that many school districts are starting to announce and layoffs and school closure facilities and so forth so these are things that are all all going to impact um the way we approach facilities in in the school business so just wanted to share that that was really a theme of the conference um so a lot of the classes you their sessions were how do you navigate a master plan through declining enrollment and so forth so um part of the challenge you know but and that now right now I think we're fine here at WIS just be something to be aware it for me thank you a some comments from me um couple things cyber security continues to be a concern with fraud everywhere I work in the banking

012business which is replete with this problematic uh Tony I I I'm looking to you and Dr Silver to suggest that we uh you've been sending updates we've been sending updates to the teachers I appreciate that I think we might be try might I I would suggest we look at fishing uh tests to bring alertness to uh uh our teachers and also I've seen some of our clients using screens that pop up as you turn on with reminders that are on the screen this is just so such a great risk for everybody the human we can put all the security in the world but if people get a Lo a hold of our passcodes it's it's open game so just food for thought um also uh from our two by two meetings with da Vinci had

013the pleasure of doing what I said I would do and attend the U Da Vinci board meeting I know there's D Vinci folks here tonight thank you for for you guys being here uh I wasn't able to attend in person but I could watch online kudos to the meeting U my big takeway way was um that it's being held in the Mona Lisa room I came tonight to say to Blake let's invite them to use this room he told me that conversation's already been in works so I would I would think that'd be a win-win for everybody and have a a bigger nicer space to to to play in and want that opportunity for you also in that meeting Laura Schaefer was sworn in as their newest board member congratulations to her we look forward

014to working together one other thing I wanted to mention to to Blake and the and the team was that at the board level we don't see directly what's happening with the staff and the teachers nor is it necessarily appropriate because it should kind of come up through the channels but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear and aren't interested in hearing so I'm suggesting that we have a survey uh to the staff to the board uh uh to the teachers in an ongoing iterative way year after year that gives us a sense and you a sense and a voice and a channel anonymously so all can be on the same page with what's going on so I we've had some conversation Blake and I independently I wanted to publicly share that this is something

015I'm encouraging and I believe there's some efforts to this fact to this effect for everybody to have a voice so that's in process as I understand it um uh the most fun thing at the board meeting at D Vinci last night was watching the student reports uh and kudos to the this the representatives from all the schools for doing that so nice nice to see that does it for me why don't we move to the mathematics update the district leadership reports and superintendent reports and I'll turn it over to you Dr Silvers just mag it's just me I've got math and everything you're doing all you're gonna cover all cover the entire cover we gotot settle in people yeah exactly we've got a lot of things happening at services so I'll just cover of what's

016happening over here so mathematic update very excited we are hosting a our first mini conference on March 7th in both of our math tosas um or excuse me math specialist and math tosa over at the at the middle school are going to be doing a session on playing with mathematics like how to integrate play into your classrooms both you know from TK through 8th grade and we have 41 of our own wiser teachers that are already registered for their event so we've scheduled all of these events coming through so this is a very very popular session so I'm very excited to see kind of what the next steps are after this of you know our teachers reaching out to our coaches for even more ways to integrate play into their classroom so this is an

017exciting time um me March 7th is right around the day we've been planning this for a a couple of different months I mean I want to give a big shout out to um to Robin and Dee who I've met with and this is all based on feedback that we've been receiving from administrators from our teachers from surveys that we've been giving out on the you know the different sessions that we have going on so we have 32 different sessions we have 170 attendees so not just our own staff we do have some local Educators from local districts Manhattan Beach laale um and beyond that will be attending as well we have 20 presenters coming and you know just a variety of different topics so it's such a great way for us to like gauge where

018our our staff is at so they get to choose some of the the development that they're going to be doing and they can go ahead and utilize in their own classroom so I'm really excited about the beginning of the South Bay Symposium we'll see we'll see it's it's really exciting there's a there's a buzz so I can't wait to see the feedback that we receive from it to see how this is going to build upon I've already you know been in talks with the PE Department over at the middle school with what their story might look like next year so it's a pretty exciting time and then we had our second um Ela committee meeting this week um we met and we we looked at our three we've actually narrowed down there's a a reading

019difficulty screener that's coming our way next year in kindergarten first and second grade we eliminated the four that the CDE put out down to three and really kind of dug down deep into an hour session with each of those components to see what is going to be the best fit for us at weisburn we actually had friends from Culver City and Manhattan Beach as well as as the um the Westside sua join us in in that those meetings with the groups and then from there we moved to the afternoon session because every all of our teachers on this committee have piloted um I ready and so we had some time with I and our next steps with I ready as the pilot and learned about that and then walked away with a homework assignment of

020kind of reaching out to our teams to see we're it's doing A needs assessment in ela and like where are we at with structured literacy and what are our needs um for our for our students and and our staff together so we'll be coming back together and sharing that information with you guys in the in the next couple of meetings so lots of things happening over in ed services and then our um excuse me I'm sorry our educational Partners meeting is next week also the the day before and the elcap survey is getting ready to close so we've got some doors closing to get feedback to us all on the ELA work that you guys are doing that include looking at accelerated reader so we're looking at our tools right now and so yes I

021mean that's be part of our needs assessment um you know if is that a tool that's is working for our community and so that's that's definitely been a a topic of conversation yeah yeah thank you Meg yeah good stuff that's that's not coming up it's Friday it's Friday FR all right Dr Silvers um did you do all everybody's I know just um just a couple things um for me had an opportunity on um Tuesday night to join the Holly gland neighborhood association for their annual they do a once a year that's annual right an annual uh update thanks just clearing it up yeah um they had the chief show up um which was nice or actually it was um Captain Eric Lane from uh hawor police department show up and um there were some concerns

022that came out related to um safety traffic um even Ingress and egress to school you know obviously we have kids walking and just this idea of Holly Glenn the area of Holly Glenn U with Holly Glenn Elementary School Aviation and the middle school is so close and so it gets really congested and compacted um During certain times of the day and um for some you know for unfortunate reasons cars just still speed through there and we've been working and working and working I mean I've submitted you know two three times to this to the city to try and get some some speed mitigation there it's part part of the weird policy in Hawthorne that the superintendent has to submit this letter it hasn't gotten us anywhere yet um because we don't have any but um

023but we still keep trying to to push that um there's a gentleman I won't use his name he probably doesn't want me to say his name but there's a gentleman who's really helping lead this lead this push and and then also the president Jen Jen HST has been supportive of that as well so just trying to figure out ways to um shine light on this uh with the city so that maybe we can get some some speed mitigation there and and really try and slow down pocorn City it would be the city of is there any was there any conversation from the homeowners and the the residents to approach the city yes they have uh we have I say you know collectively they've gone to meetings um but we're so we're we're just we're pushing

024through that process glad we're doing it by whatever ammunition absolutely I mean yes it won't be it won't be the district it won't be you know Blake alone that's going to be able to do that it's going to need a community group I mean we absolutely need some some Mobility behind it um people need to understand or the city actually the the council needs to see that it's really impactful to people so working on some of those things um but all in all it was really nice evening to be able to hear you know the police and just just a kudos to the Hawthorne Police Department um just for being the professional supportive uh police department that they are and being able to hear that presentation was really awesome um being able to talk to

025to Captain Lane prior to it's just really nice their their perspective on schools is just um really trying to protect the schools the surrounding neighborhoods of the schools and uh the communication with us at the district has been has been really top-notch so anyway hats off there and they got to share a little bit about our facilities upgrades uh that we're doing um for a lot of these folks it may not be directly you know uh directly connected to the schools and so they don't get our our monthly emails or they haven't signed up yet or it didn't get forwarded to them so their ability to be able to come in and ask questions um there's a lot of Buzz about the 135th and Aviation um Sports Complex you know so so that was probably

026I would say that was the that was The Shining Light of the night um being able to sort of unveil some of those renderings and also be able to ask questions there's questions about lights there's questions about Community use um not like open use right not just you know an AYSO team or or a little league program but also is it can to ever be open just for green space and so um obviously we're not recommending anything yet but just sharing that that was some of the um that was some of the feedback that that we received um it's coming do we have anything on our website that's an FAQ or information that's accessible to the public so we have a an update a facilities update page that has it I'll look at it to

027see how how detailed it is I know Erica has been working on we have fact talked about questions you heard correct yes yes yes so about lights and all that yes we have not no so in that regard no we had not created a more um proactive FAQ list but certainly we can look at that um also wanted to uh to share um had an opportunity to attend Dana's or come on this year I wasn't gonna do that I just said the midle in my blood Dana's in my blood wurn middle school iburn middle school um formerly known as winum open house um they sort of kicked off the the Open House season I think aviations next week um so just a nice opportunity to walk around to see the teachers unfortunately didn't get through

037but but I would have interest in that so just make that available we should never make it you know it's that's your choice all right let's move on to uh consent items and 8.1 uh before we do that are there any items that anyone wishes to pull that we would discuss separately and I would pull 86 is there anything else anyone would want to pull on the consent agenda so can I have a motion excluding 86 yes you have a motion well you have a motion for 8.1 excluding 8.6 well said sir second thank you very much all right uh all in favor oh good comment no just for the order I think that um are we pulling 8.6 with the goal of not pass no with the go can we can we take 8.1

038to 810 as the consent agenda and see if we can answer your question in the discussion sure and then pass okay thank you so let's let's amend that and rest will revise my motion and motion 8.1 takes takes a whole two through 10 thank you for clarity second all right now discussion you have a comment yeah the only com yeah on 8.6 was um on uh this was on the purchase orders and we have $112,000 that says Chase statements yes and I don't know what $112,000 would spend on statements for Chase a crit card want to answer it's the um we were catching playing catchup on one we have moved on to what's called a cal card and so Sean could explain that better but that is a school district credit card that we are

039now using we are trying to clear out what was a Chase credit card that had all of the past charges on it and we were Behind These are small items that would have been itemized we wouldn't have even seen them because they're such small numbers they just became the larger number and they were not specified with great specificity which we wouldn't have seen anyway so I'm okay with that any other comments or questions on any of these items all in favor of 81 which covers 82 through1 I I passes three Z thank you let's move to uh 9.1 receive uh receive the board policies for second reading and adoption this was r first at our last board meeting and this is the adoption meeting with second read all in favor I I all right 92

040settlement agreement for o ah case number 20241 0756 you have a motion second any comments or questions all in favor I Nelson I oh thank you I didn't hear did I not say it sorry my apologies you thought it it's good um 9.3 you have a motion this is for the comprehensive school safety plans thank you second um we should make a comment about this this was uh arduous uh tremendous work and and appreciation goes to all of the school site councils to the administrators to everybody who played a role in these I do have a question overall on these actually there were two questions um one was do we have we've talked about this in the past this is this is our emergency preparedness effectively in some regards do we have bulleted lists or

041Flip Flip books or something on site because something less than 18 yeah I mean this it's just such a massive document it's not in an emergency I'm going to look for page 367 and you know come on um so what we do we take it and we actually just hang the whole book good no we don't do that um so kind of uh which we do have uh we do have flip books in the classrooms uh but we are you know Nish and I were talking today um we are looking at at revisiting those again because one of the things that we were in the process of doing and I think probably in in Jason when he left U we just we didn't we we just never picked that ball up which was I'm creating

042a front a cover sheet to that which um because one of the things missing is like what happens in the case number like who to call in the case of emergency so you have obviously like we all know 911 but if it's a electrical issue like do you call a gas issue who do you call um you know if if somebody's there and a principal's not there the office isn't there to be able to make the call like how do you do that so we are putting together one pager that will go into the front and we're also going to do uh we're going to re-edit those those binders or it's like a it's a flip that does hang actually it's not not a Jo and it's by EV vent right so it's it's like

043a it's staggered it's colorcoded there you go and so you could flip through it um so we do have those they're actually they're you know they're they're easy to use we just need to make sure they're um you know that they're updated and and and part of it too is like we don't do a good enough job of drilling them at least as a district and if you don't use the tool when you need to use the tool it's not it's not instinctive so we need to we need to do that that was part of our conversation just to put that as part of our drill planning as we move into the next school year is to have some drills where we're referring to those hanging flip charts as well as having that front page

044so we're doing some upgrading um but but yes but to these let me just speak to these can I just to to Pivot a little bit to these you know there's the two pieces of this that are so important which is um the the reflecting and goal setting on the components there's two components to these documents that you set goals kind of smart goals with the site Council and and and your safety teams related to the physical plant so the site safety itself which is do you have potholes you know tripping hazards um are there things blocking so I remember there was a couple years we had you have to go through the closets and make sure things are clean that you can access the roof um that type of thing um graffiti um you

045know sometimes at the middle school you get some some some vandalism of sorts and just wanted to do that um obviously like camera systems which we just upgraded probably wouldn't be in these but that would be something is like how you're managing camera systems and then you have like school connectedness right and that's um how do you um you know how do you how do you provide a connected environment where students feel safe and secure and they feel like they can connect to adults and students um you know there's some programs that we have for that but also uh so that would be in the goal setting for that so it's one's the physical space and the other is kind of the social emotional piece of it um so we we are uh so that's

046in there as well so that's a more of the laborious part but anyway that was my My Clarity truly a living document because um we continue to expand it I think each year and I think you've added the instructional continuity this year I think also too I saw I think this is a new section Blake the the immigration enforcement response I think that's also okay which I think is good so people understand what to do yeah sure no just kudos to all of the school site councils uh and the leadership of the school sites for developing it I know I did serve on the School site council at the Holly Glen for a couple of years and it is a it is a tedious process but a necessary one um and I'm I'm glad that

047we're doing it and um I also find it interesting to see just some of the differences amongst the school sites about their respons and um that sort of thing and I should say too that this does get sent to the ho Police Department to the sheriff to the LA County Fire we are LA County Fire districtwide just so that and I mean you know so they can look at it take a you know and then basically it's part of the submission process that that we we've shared it with our local uh Partners I know that those hanging books what are they called again like flip charts flip charts foot books whatever are the go-to in this case though if it were somebody wanted to look at this in an urgency hyper links would help if

048we could add hyperlinks to the document you click on it and get there that that would be helpful U it's word doc I think that's easy enough to do because it is 10 something PES exactly yeah definitely page all right um we've talked about that all in favor I I great thank you uh that was 93 moving to facilities item 10 101 amendment number 05 to agreement for transitional kindergarten at Delair Elementary School the conversion project uh with uh measure e bond funds for Corgan architectural design you have a motion thank you you have a second and I think I have a question please so um my understanding from this amendment is that this was triggered by the solar panel project is that correct that is correct okay so it was an over button sorry

049oh they have mics sorry okay yes that is correct it was triggered by the solar EV charging stations and battery storage system not the carport portion but the other the separate a number that is currently and construction so my next question then would be is was this an oversight on this particular project or are we going to see this coming down on our other school Pro it's an oversight by the DSA review right on this particular project um they actually missed it on the Delair TK project which as you know completed um last summer but it's still under closeup process and because it's still under closeup they missed it on under that particular project so they're making us they're making Corgan the architector record for the Del TK to issue a construction change directive to

050add those modifications that they missed is it going to be something that happens down the road potentially it's hard to say we argued um on both ends on the Corgan side and on the site logic engineering side but at the end of the day if it's an ADA path of travel there's really nothing that you can do so do you think we'll see this at h Glenn weisburn and Aviation because we that we did the same project the same field reviewer has come out and visited all sites and there was the only site that correct so I don't expect any of the Solar projects to to trigger any additional ones um but down the road who knows what can happen with other projects yeah at least at least right now with the ongoing year okay

051perfect as long as we're on the Soler yes time we're expecting that to be live soon very soon so one of the sides um gosh I want to I'm not going to guess I can't recall to be honest one of them um is already live uh the other three we're still waiting for permission to operate from SE and we're expecting that the next couple week any day any day at this point everything has been submitted they have all of our documents they've had them for a couple of months in some cases um and and yet um sece is is just behind because remember a lot of districts not only solar but it wasn't only school districts residential there was a lot of because of the IRA funding everyone was trying to be grandfathered in for

052the N 2.0 and the next iteration that Nelson was just referring to with the solar chargers uh the timeline for that know been a while since we talked about that so you'll have an update at the next board meeting I can give you exact dates I would then come prepare with that if that's okay they're out in the parking lot though at least oh they are we're I thought there were people at first when I looked at them we're close we're very close all very exciting thank you thank you thank you and so let's let's take this on about that this all in favor of 101 I I and again uh Kudos and thank yous to the staff and the teachers at all the sites and the parents and the community and to remind everybody

053why we had to do that because I know a lot of community members have said why inter didn't you wait till next summer because you couldn't start during it was we're first of all let's back up we're at the mercy of the Department of State architectur DSA we are at the they they are gods in our world and anything we construct we need their approval on and they can come back and say we gave you approval but uhoh here's something else so we're at their their Mercy we were at their Mercy for these projects for the solar at all the schools we were supposed to get done have them done in the summer DSA did not give us approval till it was too late to start in the summer so why didn't we wait till

054to the next summer because of the IRA the inflation reduction Act was going to give us something like 3.5 million back uh if we qu if we got these done before the end of the year which we did uh so that's why we put everybody through so much heck because we had to do this to to make this make sense financially so thank you all for bearing with us hopefully the Shad is a little bit of Solace and uh good news for the district that uh we're moving forward moving on uh Personnel 11.1 consider adoption of 24253 2 release of temporary certificated employees you have a motion second you want to jump in there quick no okay customary this is customary I guess my only question is typically this is I know it's due by

055March I guess this is the last meeting before then is that what's happening our our next meeting is March 13th and we do try to get these notices out prior by law we have to get them out before March 15 makes sense this is a perfunctory act issue this is done every year as a precautionary measure sorry we have to go through this and hopefully it's moved um all in favor I I thank you wow breaking time that's it folks uh breaking time yeah we had no presentations tonight uh short of Maggie trying to cover for everyone thank you for that uh upcoming events Dr Silvers I think the one I high highlighted earlier was the groundbreaking um and I I I guess I also highlighted aviation's uh open house is next week that's March
