006from the Fbrook High School Culinary Pathway prepared this evening's meal for the board which was delectable. I loved it. I would like to invite you now to tell us a little bit about um introduce yourselves, your role in preparing the dinner, how you went about it, >> preparing budgets, all of those things. >> Take over because you do most of the work.

And I just want to say thank you so much. >> Of course. >> Good evening, members of the Fabric board committee. Oh, >> sorry. Good evening, members of the Fabric board committees. Thank you guys for being here. Tonight, me and my CCAP team, we were able to prepare

007today's meal for you guys, and we made baked ZT with garlic bread. Um, I prepared the garlic bread and Carmen prepared the garden salad and I prepared the baked ziti today. >> And our our intro class for culinary. They prepared the bread. They are doing yeast breads right now. So, they freshly made fresh bread and then it was baked off and we were able to use that for the garlic bread. Um, the pasta was pretty simple. We just we used marinara, heavy whipping sauce, and we just put it all together. >> Well, thank you. When you walked in there, the smell was just amazing and I admire anybody who can actually bake bread. I have attempted multiple times over the years with much great much failure. >> Now, do you have an update on your

008competition or it hasn't happened yet? >> It hasn't happened yet, but it will be happening on January 24th. So, we're very excited. Yes. >> Where's it at? >> It's going to be in LA. I'm not sure if it's going to be in Pasadena, California, or if it's going to be somewhere else because we did go for our prelims and they were in Pasadena, but I think they may. >> Pasadena. >> It's going to be >> Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed. Hope we win. >> Thank you so much. >> We're glad you Thank you guys. >> Here's here's my one comment for you. You know when you watch those cooking shows on TV and and they and the the chef has to get up there and explain everything that they they did and it's a

009bunch of verbiage that nobody understands, right? Um from the first time you you I feel like you talk every time when you come in and and you're having to tell us all that stuff. It's kind of like a little game show, right? But I will tell you this, you have improved in your public speaking from the day the first day that you've come in. You've stepped up to the mic. You've asserted yourself. You're doing a like I'm I'm impressed. You're doing a great job. um you're on the spot and I know it's embarrassing, but you're doing you're doing a great job of presenting it um and introducing everything. So, good job on that. It's not a game show. You're not going to win anything from us. But dinner was delicious. I will say in the

010firehouse um baked ziti is just one of those that you can make a ton of. So, everybody has food for not just dinner, but a late night snack or after a fire snack kind of thing. Um, but there's a there's a proportioning aspect to it that if you do too much marinara, too much cheese, not enough noodles, all those kind of things, >> it kind of throws everything off. >> And it was perfect. You guys did a great job. The garlic bread, you could tell it was fresh bread cuz it was super soft and and tasteful. Um, and the salad with the red onions was uh delicious. So, you guys did a great job. I appreciate it. >> Thank you so much for that. Thank you. >> Thank you guys. >> Thank you. You blessed

011it. Next, we would like to um recognize our migrant education program region 9 honor student of the year. Um I will let you make the announcement of the name today including our student board members. So today we celebrate an extraordinary student whose story embodies resilience, determination and hope. Miguel Martin Antonio, a senior at Fbrook High School, has been named our county's migrant education student of the year, and for good reason. The migrant education program exists to ensure that students whose families move for agricultural work have the support they need to succeed academically despite the challenges of mobility and economic hardship. It provides tutoring, advocacy, and resources so that students can stay on track toward graduation and beyond. Miguel's journey reminds us why this program matters. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of his aunt, his legal

012guardian to cancer, Miguel faced an unimaginable uncertainty. With no legal guardian, and every reason to give give up, he chose instead to persevere. Thanks to his own strength and the support of the migrant education program, Miguel has remained committed to his education and his goal of graduating. He attends school consistently, treats others with respect, and gives his best every single day. Miguel's resilience, work ethic, and perseverance are nothing short of inspiring. He reminds us that character is revealed in the hardest moments, and his character shines brightly. Today we honor Miguel not only for his academic commitment but for the example he sets for all of us. Congratulations Miguel. You deserve this recognition. He is accompanied today by our migrant education staff here at Fbrook High School, Blanca Lopez and Marisella Garcia. And um I don't

013know if his cousins arrived, but if his cousin is here um he is accompanying him tonight. Miguel and our staff, if you could step forward, please. Extraordinario resilencade. Miguel Miguel. control. Gracias. Resilenc Lopez Garcia. Gracias. It's always a pleasure to recognize such wonderful students. Um, I've been working since I was 11. My first job job was delivering newspapers, but my second job was working for the migrant summer program at my high school, which was also very agricultural and obviously led me to where I am these days. So wonderful. Thank you for Miguel. Good congratulations and thank you all for supporting him. Um, moving on to presentations, we have a report from SEIU. Um, Mara Bower, please. Right. Good evening board members. Thank you for inviting me back. Um we've had a lot of movement this

014last couple months with our classified staff. We welcomed a new campus supervisor, Veronice Lagonas. Um she comes to us with a long history in Fbrook and we feel confident that she'll fit in well with our team. Um she's already proved herself this first week. Um getting to know everyone here. Um she's very welcoming. So if you're on campus, she's in the flux position. Come say hi to her. I'm sure she'd appreciate um meeting new people and getting to know her surroundings a little better. We've also had a lot of movement with our IT team. Um I don't know if you've noticed that we have new phones on campus. I'm sure those of you who are up at the district have noticed those. We all had to re-record our voicemail messages um and get used to

015a new phone setup. I do recommend um using the app when it becomes available. got to be the guinea pig for that. Um, and it does make things a lot easier. And then your phone rings on your phone and on your computer. So, be looking for that. They're um working hard at getting everything fixed and all of the wonderful new features that we have rolled out to where we can all use them properly and uh understand how to use them. There's a good video that we should all watch that goes along with that. Um, so I know that was a lot of work over our Christmas holiday. That was how our IT team spent their holiday was getting the new phone set up for all of us. We appreciate that. Um, we do have board

016elections coming up for SEIU next month, so there will be a little bit of movement there. Um, not 100% sure who is going to be applying for what positions, but it won't change our bargaining team. Um, we've already got that into place. Um, so hopefully we'll be wrapping up with our negotiations soon, but at any rate, you'll see the same people at the table for however long that takes or going on. Um, yeah, and we don't have much else going on just yet. Looking forward to um different changes that'll be happening with classified staff in the spring and in summer this year. >> Awesome. >> You have any questions? >> Just wanted to say thank you for everything that you do, Mara. I mean, on top of your job and helping transition new classified employees

017into being comfortable in their new roles, that means a lot and represents really well for our school. Um, because it is really hard coming in. I was a PAR professional for four years at four different schools. And so, it's it's hard going into a new role and it's a big campus and you don't know your way around and if you've got somebody who really is willing to help you do that on top of what you do and representing the union. So, thank you for all you do. >> Thank you. It definitely helps that the library is centrally located so they can always find me. There you go. Thank you so much. >> Okay. Um and then we also have a presentation um the children and youth behavioral initiative CYBHI fee schedule program. Dr. Annabella Luna,

018our student services director, will be presenting. initiative from the state just to give you some background. We I actually I didn't rush us into this program because there were so many questions. We wanted to know what the purpose was behind it, how it was going to impact a workload and what capacity we had. And that was a lot of it these first like year and a half two years has been more of learning information. So it's been a slow roll and joining. Uh we are in cohort five from San Diego County. There are already about 120 plus districts in Kelly that are actually a part of the actual new initiative. It's a fee schedule. So just to go through this on the you'll see for the children behave youth behavioral health initiative. It's actually a

019statewide initiative that came about 2021, but is now kind of going through all of our other districts. It's meant to allow school districts to request reimbursement for school-based health services. They're already provided for students. It is something that private insurance and Medicare are fully aware that they are required to provide reimbursement. The program itself is made to uh streamline the process and also kind of create a um a new funding source for the districts to help either sustain the current um services provided. So think of social worker that we have right now that's temporary at Ivy. So trying to sustain that to make him permanent any services um that we want to bring in whether it be programs or even with counseling they want to expand services they do. So, it is intended by the

020state for school districts to pro um have another resource and uh funding and also moving away from utilizing general fundings and not feel like we have to look for all these short uh grants that tend to only last for a few months. Why it's important for us as a district again that financial sustainability as we're looking at all of our budgets where we're at um funding source. We know that the needs for when it comes to behavioral mental health with students is increasing, but we also know that with our budgets, we have to be very careful with hiring. This helps us with um recovering some of those ser um costs. So, it doesn't mean it will stop us from continuing counseling, mental health, small groups. It just would allow to expand that or when it

021comes to doing events. So for example, uh taking a small group of students to visit certain colleges or doing um a field day to kind of build connection with the teachers. This can help fund that if the other sources of funding that do will not allow it. So it does allow that flexibility with it. It also will allow us to expand those student support services. So we think of as we're looking at impro changing or improving the wellness center space for Fallark High School, the idea of a wellness coach. This would actually be funding that wouldn't be encroaching on the general fund or that goes towards other needs. So the reimbursements could help sustain that position. Uh the participation like I said will be in cohort 5. That just means that January we're considered a

022part of it building it all depends it once we're ready. So it's not where the state is rushing us. It just means that now we're connecting with certain partners um to actually set this up and build capacity within our own district with it. I do want you to be aware and the reason I'm presenting is I know questions come up about the billing piece. What does that mean for workload on our staff and who's going to be involved with it know that we are part of consortium because we're also small and I am one person to try and help manage this. They did this for some of the smaller districts. There are a few of us a part of the consortium and uh the county is actually providing guidance when it comes to how to

023manage uh the billing piece. They vetted uh locating an actual vendor that would do all the billing. So our staff wouldn't be doing any of that. All they would be doing simply is going on this server that you see Tad Health who was vetted by the county go at one two sentence line stating met with student for 30 minutes went over coping skills because of anxiety submit it and then TAD health does all the billing piece. They would be the ones working with the state and their own um third uh vendor provider with the billing part. So all our actual counselors, school psychologists that already meet with students if they do small groups. Again, it'd be one or two lines. And a a neat piece when we introduced this to the counselors is they requested

024we could do a little template on kind of some uh sentence starters or basic uh one two liners that they could just copy and paste for their scenario. So it's been pretty good collaborating. And thankfully we have um Mr. mirror Montes from Ivy who's had experience in this and he was able to share like no no there's there's ways of making this easy it's actually not too bad so um TAD health is going to be guiding us it they are our electronic uh health record vendor so we talk about think of privacy and the information where it's going they would be the only ones that would have access to it they would be talking to the insurance companies or um medical when it comes to doing the claims and um for billing the billing piece

025of it is only would happen if the parents are and it's voluntary. So I just to clarify it's all voluntary for our parents. They're not required to share their insurance or give us consent. But what California is asking and trying to encourage our families to share what are your insurance um providers give us consent to do billing and the billing all will be again with the insurance companies. Parents would wouldn't be receiving anything. They're not being impacted. No one they're not being build at all. It wouldn't impact. So uh for example if with Kaiser if I have 10 sessions where I could go for mental health my child can go for mental health it wouldn't impact it if my child is also seeing a social worker at the campus. It actually is an additional resource

026and I wouldn't be aware with my insurance being build. I wouldn't be getting my co-pays. None of that is being impacted. This is all with the state with our actual billing vendor. So that's how it's working out. Um and like I said it all has to Tad Health deals with all of that. our staff wouldn't be involved in any of those pieces. They don't have to buy in doubt from parents if insurance has been provided. If there's consent that whole stuff that TAD health with myself, we would be doing those pieces. Now, with the communication, that's the other big piece. I want to make sure that you were aware of what's going on um with us where the roll out of how it's working out. There would be a letter going out to parents letting

027them know about this voluntary um process asking for their insurance. It would also they would be receiving a document that comes from Department of Health Care Services of why uh CYBHI came out about. Uh it would be just letting parents know that it it's referring to schoolbased services. If they choose not to provide their insurance care, that's fine. We still provide those services to the students. They're seeing our social workers, our counselors, um they're being a part of any of the support groups. Students still follow through. Our counselors just put the entry on the system and eventually when the parent chooses to voluntarily provide the insurance uh provider info, then our TAD health vendor can do the billing with the state. So it our counselors wouldn't have to worry our school sites about any of

028that piece. They just do the simple one-two sentence and then once the parents choose to give us their information and consent that we can bill the state then the state and tad health would deal with all of that. Then the reimbursement would then come back as other um funding for needs in the school sites that we have. And just so you know we do this already with special ed through spedare. So the medical initially it was only medical services and special ed would be the ones that could actually get reimbursed. So now what the state want to do is with a the remainder of the students, they are providing uh services. They know that funding is limited. This is a way that now the insurancees can kind of help back up those um school-based mental

029health services. Um the other piece I know comes up is the impact on workload. I know that and for me that was also why I held off on even joining any of the cohorts. I was part of the capacity grant to kind of start working on what are the needs, how to help um update the wellness center, but I was really holding off on even having to try and do anything with billing. So, be aware that it doesn't add any more work to our counselors. They already meet with the students. They have to document areas anyway. So, it's really just putting one or two sentences on the TAD health system. And they saw it already. We actually met with them in December with Tad Health. They went through and saw the actual system. We had

030one counselor was already gone home and has started inputting as practice and they it stays there. No one else has access to that. If I'm the counselor, I only can see my students and the entries I put for my kiddos. I can't see anybody else's. So, just being aware. I know privacy is also a big thing. And the confidentiality and I think confidential goes into that um electronic record system just so you're aware. All it is basic. Student was dealing with some anger issues. met with them, went through some counseling and that's all that goes on there. All the other anything confidential goes on Aries that has to do with notes on that meeting. Um the other part with just like it reads nothing's being required. It won't impact our parents and it's it's that

031won't change howd are being referred or seen. So this is more just an additional way of getting funding sources for any services and again sustaining roles that maybe we have and are being in question. So um just to wrap up I think the big piece uh is looking at it's meant to sustain strengthen the mental health services behavioral health services that we have and really even connecting uh creating um that connection with our families. I know one big thing that I would like to see is for us to create a care closet which would be providing having some of those basic needs for our students and maybe even our families and I have a conversation already with our McKin Vento liaison of creating that space where it's shared so that way there isn't any stigma

032with our kiddos that are homeless or um uncommon minors. It would be for any kiddo that needs any items. I know for example um my previous experience where we had a warrior closet like Campus Soups if they knew that a kiddo needed a sweater they went to the closet got a sweater and give it to the student moved out no questions asked and a lot of that was being supplemented by short grants that we had or donations so this would kind of help supplement even that need that we noticed at Ivy or Fark High School. Uh any questions or suggestions? >> Few questions for you. >> Is this a national >> service or a state service? >> State. So it's a state uh they're the ones really taking um they're the first ones to start

033this process. >> Yeah. >> And we're the ones basically piloting let's say. >> Sure. >> Whatever. >> Uh is it a requirement or a suggestion from the state? >> So it is uh when it comes to medical insurance and uh private insurance they're required to provide that reimburseed funding to school districts. It's voluntary when it comes to our parents to be a part of it. So if the parents don't consent or give their insurance information, we can't bill. >> We can't bill. We still see them. They provide services and everything, but we wouldn't be >> or we don't get any billing reimbursement. >> No. And the way Tad Health works per the state that we're allowed to is let's say I I meet with a student today. >> Yeah. And I saw them but parent

034hasn't consented. I will document it. We can keep it. How's there? We have a year to get reimbursement. So let's say that when we do data confirmation in August and P said you know what okay I I have better understanding uh what this is and they provide consent then we can bill there but yes it would >> um the TAD health what does it cost for them are we are we losing funding by them doing the documentation like they take a 10% fee >> so part of the consortium we get a certain percent the consortium's paying for the service So because we don't have the staffing to do the billing ourselves, we would be going through I would have to look for an actual vendor. So what the county disc they vet it and they

035from my experience, no knock on Tad Health has been pretty good in handholding and guidance through the process. So we would still be paying a portion of it. Um thankfully we received 30% of that uh it's called capacity grant. So just sorry let me back up. We received a capacity grant to build this work on it. Tad health is being paid by that. The reimbursement part it would be a small percentage that we would use to pay them continuously but it's already being paid right now actually their service through a different grant that I received. >> Um this somewhat of a comment and somewhat of a question. You mentioned the parent uh notification is that every parent in the school just gets notified in August that there's this mental health consortium and then and if

036you choose to go through it like anformational packet in August so every parent gets it right. >> So what I would like to do is send it out in February the letter. So send that letter and those yes those flyers the the brochures and flyers to parents and asking starting now and see who's willing to provide the information now >> in August once we can get Ari set up then in the data confirmation it would be a part of that >> okay >> that piece >> um and part of my comment of of where the state goes so I'm dealing with my health insurance and being restricted on my child's health at 12 years old and then there's 13 years old state state requirement stuff for our state, right? If a parent is notified, if

037I if I get notified and I say, "Here's my insurance information. my daughter goes to one of these and goes through this process, what information as a parent am I getting back from the school or or am I relying upon my child to pass that information to me or is it I just see it as another ploy of the state saying, "Hey, we're helping mental health, which I believe me, I think is a great thing, but there's there's avenues of that that as a parent, I feel like I should be given that the I have the right to know what's going on with my child's life if there's something going on that I can help with and if the state is saying we're doing this mental health thing right in the in the form of

038anxiety that's that's great um some of the other things that I may not be comfortable with um and my daughter doesn't want to talk to me about I I I want to have that right to have that conversation with her or get that knowledge so if she goes through something like this is the parent given that information or is it secretive from the parents. >> So that's a great question because in the letter that would go out to parents is also an FAQ and that's one of my questions on there. So it would be if your student is participating in let's say small group for for anxiety. So it should would be that the counselor or whoever referred the kiddo to that group should be notifying the parent by the way we're recommending that your

039child participates in this program this small group that we have. You want to make sure that you're aware of it and talk to your child. So there should be that communication always with parents of by the I met with your kiddo, they were dealing with this. That would be that one should still be continuing to happen. >> And if it hasn't, that's something we would have them. >> Now, if it's an extreme case of something else, um, you know, mental health-wise that goes further into mental health and they're being advised like, hey, we need to go see a counselor, need to go to this. Is the parent being notified? I don't want the parents be left in the dark. >> Yes. The parents because most of the services, for example, we partner with community health

040systems. So we would need consent from parents. So you would have to be informed. We noticed that they're meeting they're part of the small group. Give you an example. Kids has been a part of a 10 student group anxiety. They seem to need some more deeper help. So then that would be where the counselor would need to communicate with parent. We have this other service on campus. Community health systems would like to make a referral to complete it. Do you consent? So you can fill out the packet and they usually will meet community health systems is going to meet with you if you're open to it. So yes, all of that you should be notified. Now what conversation the kiddo has with the social worker, schools site, that part would be the confidentiality where you

041would talk to them. >> Yeah, >> I agree with the program. I think it's going to get a lot of feedback from a lot of community members based on where the state goes with medical information and keeping parents in the dark, which I'm adamantly against. Um, I think the program's great, the presentation's great. I just this is to me this is one of those state backdoor um processes that all of a sudden become secretive to parents and we don't know what's going on with our own kids but the school does. >> So so let me clarify with the CBHI and even with our own consortium the big piece that keeps coming out it's meant to help support to continue services but making sure communication is happening with parents. Again, I don't know what happens to

042other districts, but I know that's something we want to always make sure our parents are in the loop, but we want to make this referral. >> Make sure you're aware of why. >> Yeah, I appreciate that. I I think it would you'd you'd be it would behoove us as a district to uh lay heavy on the parental involvement and and constantly updating specifics so that parents don't feel in the dark or I don't think that you'd get a lot of buyin from a lot of parents without that. So, >> no. No. and you're on it. That's the big piece why I was also kind of trying to do slow roll with this. Let's be more informed. What does this mean? How is involved? What's our how what info should we give our parents? I need

043to know. And that's why I was like, can I do a presentation when I send enough info to parents so they're aware, get informed, ask questions. I'm expecting questions. >> Yeah. >> Any other questions? >> I do. I have a few. Um to piggyback um Mr. Christensen's question. Um should so your hypothetical student let's say they were in a group setting and then was found that you know maybe has more anxiety than can be dealt with in a group setting um and more one-on-one counseling. Are there times where there's one-on-one counseling with parents where the parents are part of that group to kind of to to get them involved and you know kind of >> I I I'm assuming that what happen all depends on the conversation with >> okay >> so I can think

044of our social work with community health systems. It all depends on what conversation they have with the student and parent. >> Okay. >> And if parent wants to be a part of it. I know that's happened before with uh a certain kiddo that I know of. Um that would be again it's a conversation where they would involve and I know community health systems for example they like to involve parents and make sure there's that consent piece. >> Okay. because I know um at one point when my daughter was still here um one of her friends unexpectedly passed away very suddenly and so she struggled with grief and depression for a while with that and had this program been here part of that I would like to have gone with her to kind of a personal

045grief session just so that I would know what she's being taught what skills she's learning what advice they're giving her as well just as a as a parent to know that. Um, so a couple of other questions I have. I appreciate the slow roll out. I really do because I think that's a mistake that a lot of schools and school districts make is that they rush into programs and even if they're good programs and I admire that greatly. Um, I think Mr. Mayor Ramontes is fabulous. I have nothing but positive things to say for him. So I think he's a wonderful choice. Roughly how many students now the program has not been live yet, but roughly how many students are receiving like me mental health care whether it's in a group setting or individually at

046this time? Do you have kind of a ballpark number? >> I don't have at the moment, but I can request it. >> Okay. Yeah, just out of curiosity. Um, and then the other thing that I'd like to see is as kids are participating in more of this, the goal obviously is to help them improve any kind of issues they're dealing with, whether it's anxiety, depression, things like that. Um, are there steps that are sort of tracking that where they kind of graduate out of those sessions? Yes. >> Okay. So, >> so it just and just to clarify, so CBHI is just the reimbursement program. >> The reimbursement. So, >> just to clarify schedule, that's all it is. It shares well how much they would >> um >> reimburse the schools for let's say a risk

047assessment. That's it. We do those a lot. >> We can get reimbured for those things. So, just want to clarify the difference. >> Perfect. Okay. Good. I like that. In terms of uh your the groups that you said, yes, a lot of them >> I know one that Miss Han has run, the idea was for only a certain period, certain number of weeks, exit them and let's look at a new group and then from there they need a more one-on-one then refer them to other services. >> Okay, I like that. Um question for you. The flyer um is in English. Will there be one in Spanish as well? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, and then I think the last thing is um the grant. I know you said it was a five-year and we were

048kind of slow to on board. So, do we anticipate if we're starting in the fall that we would only have like three years left or is this going to be potentially longer? >> Okay. So, I and I apologize for this. So, the grant the capacity grant I was referring to that's a separate one. I want to have till 2028 to spend. >> Okay. >> That's something separate. It was meant to build like that space where small groups would be held if we needed to get a wellness coach. That one is separate one. >> Okay. >> Uh we're cohort five. This continues on until whenever the state says that it doesn't initiative no longer there. So we can do reimbursement as soon as we can have insurance providers from the parents. >> Okay. I think that's

049great. And I especially nowadays a lot of um parents may not have insurance and a lot of parents may have insurance that doesn't have a mental health component as well. So that was the other piece that it wouldn't impact it. There's certain things depending on the private insurance provider's medical that it can um reimburse even if it's not provided. So that's something that the state will deal with our vendor. >> Okay. Were there any other questions from the board? >> Two questions. >> Um if they don't have insurance, do we still bill? >> Can I get this? >> Uh no. It's the same as if a parent states no. I don't want to give my insurance or consent. We don't build. We still document on our system. And >> so if they responded with I

050do not have insurance. >> We still continue providing there will be small gurus mental >> health. We're just not we're just not billing. Um last question as this comes out. Um will there be an option for refusal? >> Yeah. They just don't turn in the form. >> No. I mean, if um if a parent said, "I don't want my child to be part of that, whether it's reimbursement or counseling," is that an option? >> Like, I think that what um Trusty Christensen is trying to say is that if a parent does not want their child seen or to receive services like an option, >> can they opt out of that? >> Yeah. Can you can you opt out of the entire service regardless? >> Uh I mean, yes. they would just communicate with the counselor

051or whoever was making a referral that they would want and we've had that we've made referrals to Palmer counseling community health systems and parents have chosen not to continue and we don't provide services >> right let's just for as an sake of example in August I send a letter to my counselor and say I don't want my child to be part of any counseling services >> is that upheld or >> is that no my understanding is that the parent sorry My understanding is that a parent, and this is not just with this service, but just as long as I've worked in schools, can say, "I do not want my child to receive services." But if the student wants to receive services and they're over the age of 12, they would then sign that they don't

052have parent permission, and they would receive the services, the medical services that they're requesting. And then the parents not notified >> correct >> of the information >> unless that student is going to um hurt themselves or hurt someone else. >> Got it. >> And we've had we have case there's not here but I have cases where it was that piece and then afterwards it took it was a conversation with kiddo. Let's call your parent to let them know and then we would call the parent to inform them this is where we met blah blah blah. So yes >> that's it. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you very much for all your work on this. This is a lot. So, thank you. Um, we're now at the um public comment section. The Fabric

053Union High School District Board of Education encourages and invites the public to comment on agenda and non-aggenda items. Individual speakers will be limited to 3 minutes per legislation 1292. The board will give twice the allotted time to a member of the public who utilizes translating translation technology assistance to address the board. Total public input on any one subject will be limited to 20 minutes and may be extended at the discretion of the board president. Comments on non-aggenda items will be heard at this time. Comments on an agenda item may be taken at this time or when the agenda item is discussed by the board. Speakers will call be called up in order by topic and when the card was submitted. The district's silence should not be mistaken for agreement with public comments. Rather, the board

054remains silent to comply with California law, avoid legal entanglement entanglements, and or to protect the prov privacy of those involved. Do we have any comment requests? >> We do not have any public verbal comments. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. We will move on to communications and reports. Um reports from our student representatives. Um who would like to start? >> Good evening. My name is Kira Hart. I am the Oasis student board representative and tonight I'm going to be giving a report for Oasis as well as for Ivy High School on behalf of the student board representative Nenny. So starting with Oasis after returning from winter break and starting semester 2 students are getting back into into their routines and there is a special emphasis on senior preparation as graduation soon approaches. While this is

055an exciting time, students are reminded to stay consistent with coursework and focus on the goal ahead. Our school counselor, Mr. Mayor Montes, will be meeting with seniors to review credit standings and other graduation details. More information information about the graduation itself will be sent to students later this month. As always, service hours are being highlighted to students as an important requirement and service opportunities are frequently sent out. As you all know, there are a lot of activities and events happening at Fbrrook High School on a daily basis. And a great benefit of Oasis is that our students can take part in those if they wish, while still having that flexible school schedule to accommodate other pursuits. This includes prom and grad night, which I know many students are looking forward to, among many other events.

056Other than that, there is nothing left to report for tonight, and thank you for your time. Thank you. And then for Ivy High School. Good evening everyone. I'm proud to take a moment to highlight some of the amazing things happening at Ivy High School and the opportunities our students have been a part of this year. First, our seniors have had some big milestones already. Senior photos were taken in Oceanside, giving our students a chance to capture memories they'll carry with them long after graduation. We've also held senior meetings covering important topics like graduation requirements, cap and gown orders, community service hours, and credits to make sure every student is on track to graduate. We also shared exciting information about grad night at Universal Studios, which is something our seniors can really look forward to. School

057spirit has been alive and well on campus. Spirit week has brought energy, creativity, and fun. And our Valentine's candygrams were a big hit, spreading positivity and kindness throughout the school while adding to the excitement of the week. Our Ivy basketball team has had a strong start to the season with two wins and one very close loss, falling short by just one point. Their next game is on January 20th at Melba Bishop against Pacific Charters, and we're excited to continue supporting them. We're also rewarding students for dedication and consistency. On February 28th, students with 90% or higher attendance will earn a special attendance incentive trip to SeaWorld. Right now, almost 40% of our students qualify, which is an incredible achievement and shows a strong commitment to showing up and staying engaged. All of these events and

058accomplishments reflect the hard work, school spirit, and perseverance of our students and staff. Ivy High School continues to be a place where students are supported, celebrated, and encouraged to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you. >> Thank you very much, Mr. Trill. >> Good evening, trusted members of the board. My name is Ashen True and I am very excited to be here with you today to discuss the pro progress at Fick High School since our last meeting. Since we last met, students have come back from bake transitioning into the trimester. In December, ASB successfully put on an engaging spirit week that was accompanied by a community community developing lunchtime activities. The theme was winter-based with Monday being a Polar Express pajama party. Tuesday, family holiday card. Wednesday, candy cane class. Underclassmen wore red

059while upperassmen wore white. Thursday, holiday jolly dress up. Students would have the choice to dress up as Santa or an elf or a reindeer. And finally, Friday, bring your own sleigh, which was anything but a backpack day. There was a pep rally on the 5th of December to promote the winter um break and excite students. New games were tested and the feedback received from those games will be taken into account in future pep rallies. As January progresses, the trimester progresses with it, leaving six weeks left of instruction for trimester 2. So to ease the mind of our young scholars, ASB has hosted Love on the Leash specifically today during lunch in the bowl. Love on the Leash is an opportunity for students to meet emotional support animals that can alleviate stress the students may be

060experiencing. Peering further into January on the 28th ASB, AVID and ROC will work together to host educational tours about Fick Union High School to the class of 2030. Additionally, that morning there will be a pep rally for the future warriors to set up the to set the stage for the day and their future high school experience. I along with two other ASB members will be planning this pep rally, ensuring to incorporate clubs, performing arts, and sports while playing fun games sure to appeal to the students age group. Other aspects of the high school include the continuation of Saturday academy which takes place at the high school from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. helping students in various subjects especially precalc. This event is open to the entire fbrick community and blood drive will also commence on

061January 21st taking place throughout the whole school day. Next, moving into February, the sophomore class will host Winterfest, which is an opportunity to showcase the various clubs here at Fbrick High School and the academic opportunities. This is an event open to the entire Falbrick community, especially the future warriors. There will be a multitude of food trucks and arcade games for students and parents to enjoy. This event will take place on the 5th of January. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. And um I love the collaboration between the clubs working together. um and what the clubs have put on at all of our schools. Thank you for representing them so well. Um principles, if you'd like to come up. Good evening and happy new year's. Um I want to first of all start by thanking

062Kira. I don't think Kira's missed a board meeting in two and a half years. So thank you for just one just Okay, we won't count that one. But thank you for always being here. and so steadfast and helping to represent when our other board members can't be here. I really appreciate everything you do. All right, so with Ivy, starting with Ivy, as Kira mentioned, on behalf of Nenny, we did hold our first senior graduation meeting yesterday. Uh really outlining dates, times, important things that they need to take care of as we head into the graduation season. We're always trying to get our seniors really excited, but also reinforcing that there are obligations and things they need to do to be able to walk that stage on June 2nd. So, we held our first meeting with

063information that's going out to our parents both on our website in person through our ELAC meetings as well as through district email. Our second our second portion of that will be held in a secondary meeting next week during TIG in which we're going to perform an audit process where students have a very clear picture of exactly what they need to do creditwise to make sure that they can be on that stage on June 2nd. So we do a little bit of the let's get a McFired up for it and then the other side of but also just remember exactly how many credits we need to be able to do that. So um we are looking toward graduation as Kira again mentioned we did um a power of promotion piece where we had our kids go

064take cap and gown photos on the beach with Mr. for Bodie Smith, our photography teacher, and our photography students. And it's it's cool in that there was something in that process that had some of our kids who have been a little bit disjointed with the prospect of truly graduating. And that act has kind of liten a fire under some of them. So kids who have never really been taking graduation as seriously as we've liked are now starting to look more toward that prospect, which is part of our goal with the power of promotion and and projection and what we've been doing as a school focus for this year. For Ivy, our most pressing issue over the next few weeks is that we do have a full cycle WASKE visit coming up at the very beginning

065of February. We were able to meet with our visiting committee today. Um, our visiting committee members are coming to us from continuation schools and small districts. So, they very much understand the work that we do. They received our report on December 22nd and um they are incredibly optimistic and already really looking forward to celebrating some of our accomplishments and the things we're doing as well as using this as a collaborative opportunity between different school sites and how we're taking care of our our alted students. So, we're looking forward to that visit. will of course be sending out through Miss Garza Gonzalez some information should you participate in some of those special focus groups as part of that process, but we're also looking to do a lot of work around focus groups that celebrate the community

066culture of Ivy. So they'll be meeting with our CI committee, student leaders, specialized intervention groups, executive leadership, our certificated staff, our classified staff, and of course um last but not least, our student leaders. So again, we're really looking forward to this process. They will be here February 2nd, 3rd with and delivering their final report on the 4th around 2 PM. So if you're able to join us, again, I will pass that information along through Miss Garza Gonzalez. And again, as Kira said, we don't have a lot to report on Oasis. We have started a new semester. This is really a period of transition for that school. We have had some retirements and some new teachers coming in. And so at this point in time, our school is really focusing on a collaborative culture and truly

067working together and refining some of our practices that will create more instructional fidelity without removing teacher autonomy because we know when we collaborate together as a culture of experts, we can get the best results for our students. And again, we are pushing out information for our students who are at Oasis to participate in some of those great graduation and senior activities that we are fortunate fortunate enough to be a part of um through Fbrook High School. So, thank you to Fbrook for always treating us as brothers and sisters and letting us tag along on some of these events because it's really important to our kids. Do you have any questions for me? >> I don't. Thank you so much and thank you for what you're doing with both schools. They're great. >> Thank you. >>

068Good evening. Happy New Year as well. It feels like January has been going on for quite a while now, but um I sometimes forget we are still in a brand new crisp year. So, uh just a few things I know Ashley mentioned as well some of the the activities we have planned at the end of this month. So, our future warrior day um that's turned in kind of an annual event that we look forward to um collaborating with our feeder districts on. So, we have several hundred students joining us on the 28th. Um, our CTE department is also working hard to put together a rotational opportunity for students coming in. So, our incoming students have the chance to choose a pathway that they are interested in or three pathways actually that they're interested in seeing

069a little bit more in depth. Um, so they'll get to go to those classrooms and do something with our students and the teachers in the classroom that feels a little bit like what they would do in that pathway. We're hoping to kind of streamline and clarify that course selection process for our students to really understand what is available to them and what it looks like to be a part of those classes. So, um really focusing their attention on um not just picking the top three things on the list when they choose their classes, but choosing with intention. Um and then the followup the following week that Thursday evening, the 5th, we'll have the Winterfest here. Our 10th grade class is kind of um hosting that along with the full ASB group. Um but really it

070is a chance to showcase the things that are happening on campus. Um we invite our incoming ninth graders to come to that a little info session at 5:30 and then just kind of make their way through and talk to programs and um staff from campus and students as well who will give them an idea of some of the things that they can be involved with here. So I'm excited for that and I think our staff and students are probably excited that they're moving it inside this year because last year we were outside and it was lovely but very cold. So, um, in kind of in that whole process of looking to next year, our counselors are actually beginning their, um, pushes out to our feeder schools on January 30th. So, that's coming up right around

071the corner where we start to solicit, um, feedback from our incoming students about what courses they want to take when they get here. Um, we're doing a lot of work with that transition piece. So, uh, there's a small group of us on campus who've also been participating this year in something called, um, SD9 up, which focuses on how we lay a better transition or a better foundation for our ninth graders as they transition from middle school or junior high into the high school setting. Um, so it's really I think there's a lot of people on campus excited about um, what we can do to lay really solid groundwork in the nth grade. Um, we also had our senior meeting last week, last Friday. Mr. Martinez met with all of our seniors. Um, it's a meeting

072about information and then also a little bit of light the fire to make sure we stay focused during this second half of senior year when graduation seems like it's going to be right around the corner. Um, and then just from a a celebratory note, just a couple things that have happened in the last uh few days here for us as a campus. Um, I was up at our a department today talking to them about one of their grants that they that they receive and hearing just the way that they plan to dive into some four-year planning with our students um with some intention in regards to how do we help students maintain uh program involvement for four years while they're here and so excited about some of the future opportunities there. Uh I was with

073our ELA department today as they debriefed some um walkthroughs they did in each other's classroom and hearing the collaboration there. Um, as Miss Gardner mentioned as well, um, it's it is wonderful to see the ways that we're talking to one another about how we can be collaborative with the purpose of increasing um, engagement and critical thinking for our students in the classroom. Um, and then last but not least, just kind of the the external recognition of a lot of the work that our staff is doing. Something that the college board sends to us annually is a notification about um where we fall in comparison to other schools that offer programs like AP. Um so we just received information on Friday that we are um on the AP honor roll again this year which is great

074news. Last year we were silver, we're silver again this year but with some growth um towards gold. So a couple of things that I just want to highlight there. It means that um we're providing access to over 50%. 57% of our graduating seniors in 2025 took at least one AP class while they were a student with us. U which is a testament I think both to our counseling team and the advertising they're doing for students to say these are courses you have access to and can be successful in and also to our student population that they are taking the opportunities to take some of those um higher level and challenging more rigorous classes. Um, college culture is the one area where we're actually already in the gold and that is where um, the number of

075students or the percentage of our graduating seniors who actually not only took that class but passed it and are are um, eligible to earn college credit through a university in the future. And that was 42% of our seniors last year. Um, and then college optimization is the one that is we need the tiniest little bit, but that's also because they're looking at how many of our students took five or more classes and passed um, including one in 9th through 10th grade. Um, 10% is a goal. We're at 8%. So, we're right there um, in achieving that as well. But again, testament to our counseling team, our students, and our staff for encouraging students to constantly try some of those things that are uh more rigorous uh and give them a little bit of a taste

076of what um advanced coursework would look like at the next step when they leave here. So, um proud of our our site for that. Um our APIB coordinator is hard at work also to find the closest match we can in comparing comparing some of that data with our IB scores as well. So, um any questions for me today? I do um have a couple of questions. Um well, first off just comment the constant collaboration and whether it's with departments, whether it's with teachers, whether it's students with different student groups, whether it's other organizations, educational community, that's such a key. Um I also think the building the expectations, helping the nth graders be ready for 10th grade, which is always a huge struggle. Um I watched my kids go through that. Um and then also the

077transition from high school to college for um most of my kids went on to Palomar and then onto four-year. Um so I don't have as much experience with directly to fouryear. Um but that interim time period is is is a is a struggle for them can be a struggle for them. So I'm glad we're focused on that. you had mentioned um the um when you're doing the um um on the 28th >> um and that you're expecting hundreds of students. Are most of those coming from Potter? >> Yeah, the majority are from Potter, but we do also collaborate with um the virtual academy, Santa Margarita, Mary Fay as well. Um they're kind of split sometimes with their students depending on where they live on base. Um but they I believe have 15 or 16 students

078they're going to send our way as well with one of their teachers. And then Bettos as well. >> Okay. I see this is the other one. Okay. And um yeah, it sounds just great. Really looking forward to all the the different events that you have going moving forward. Are there any other questions by the rest of the board? >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> All right. Board members, um reports. Do you have anything you would like to report? Um, I just had a couple of things but and not so much of a report but u been to a few events at the school and I just wanted to give a a kudos shout out to uh the grounds crew. There not very specific but grounds crew just the fields the the

079everything around the school looks great. Um it's it seems very clean and tidy and welcoming. Um so I just wanted to say that the grounds crew is doing a great job. The custodial service was doing a great job. um and all the taking my kids to the bathrooms and things like that. Um they're doing a great job keeping up on it. So I I appreciate that as a parent during sick season. And then um as many times have I I've been on campus for various reasons, the security staff um is always welcoming and approachable. Um always want to kind of chat it up and and see how things are going. So I I appreciate that as well. Um, and then I wanted to encourage community members. I know we we probably have a few listening,

080but um, pass along to those out there. I wish we'd get more people attending a bunch of the sporting events um, for various reasons. Um, the kids that are playing the sport um, love to look up and see groups of kids supporting them that maybe even aren't their friends. Um but just seeing the community out there and involved um it kind of gives them a little rallying um chip if you will. Um but also parents just getting out there with their own kids to see the different sports because then you have this variable of um the high schoolers playing a sport and they're maybe trying a little harder, working a little harder, being a little more focused because not only do they have other kids that are at the school watching them, but also they

081have the youth that are coming up and watching them. And I think that's um an invaluable opportunity for the younger kids to watch different sports, the activities that they're doing um and kind of build up their own excitement for getting to high school and coming and playing sports and being involved in that kind of activity. I think it it goes a long way throughout the the entire community. Um and lastly, um Mr. Shihjo mentioned something that I think would be great for a a future board um meeting was the love on your leash to have love on your leash roaming around during a board meeting really take down the stress for everybody. So that was it. >> I love that. That's a great idea. Um Mr. Haskell did any comments? >> No. No, I don't.

082>> Um I just have a couple of things that I wanted to say. Um first off to piggyback um Mr. Christensen. Um I love that concept. Um my husband was in my husband teaches at Bonsel High School and was in a school play a couple of years ago and um there the attendance was on the small side and um it was a twoight performance like a um Thursday night and a Friday night and Friday night it ended up being full house and what had happened was is the baseball team had just finished their game and so their coach had said let's head over to where the theaters where the kid theater kids are performing their play and watch it and it was just full house and it was just really great to see the theater

083kids and the baseball kids all interact with each other and so that might be one way of encouraging you know the different departments or the different activities groups to support one another as they do things. Um it was kind of spontaneous I don't think it had been planned but it it was it was very welcome. Um, in terms of volunteer hours, um, I did want to notify, um, everyone that, um, the annual, um, Leair Al Falbrook literacy event that is held every year at May Ellis is going to be on Saturday, April 18th. And so they will need they will have volunteer hours. Um, and I know that Miss U Miss Garza Gazier Garcia will have that information and then probably through Pam Kane um, sign up volunteers. So that's a good way. And so

084it's primarily helping out the younger elementary school kids. But um the keynote speaker actually this year is Mr. Eric Ortega who is on the Bonsel um school board and is a graduate of Fbrick High School. So he's actually very excited to to speak with that. And they will along with our um they traditionally have bal folklorico from the various schools. Um this year they will also have the bird song dancers which is what the Paula tribe um what they their performance art is. Um so that should be a lot of fun. Um I do also want to piggyback and thank it for all their work. Um it is um we take it we ignore the fact that everything is running smoothly and we shouldn't. So thank you very much for making sure things go very

085well and that viewers at home can see us and yes we'd like to have you here in person as well. Um, and then the last thing I want to mention is when um we were at the um schoolboard convention in Sacramento in November, which now seems a lifetime ago, December, see, I can't even remember. Um, one of the final speakers I was really impressed with and so I usually like to go up to them and just kind of chat with them a little bit. Um, and gave me his business card and he has a podcast as well and kind of said, "I would really like to have you on our podcast. Your school just sounds amazing, your school district." And again, it's one of those where people say, "Oh, let's get together for lunch." And

086you never get together for lunch. So, I kind of just shrugged it off and it's actually happening. So, I'm doing the podcast on the 23rd of this month. Um, and so I've already let Miss Garcia know, Garcia Garcia know to get me some information because the key is collaboration. That's what really we're going to talk about. And so I may reach out to both of our principles as well to get details from what you're doing because that's primarily what I'm going to be talking about is how we're working with the community, whether it's other school districts with the elementary school district, whether it's with Rotary, um whether it's the church that does the student of the month recognition, um or our schools working with one another. So anyway, so thank you very much. Um okay,

087report from superintendent. >> So congratulations. um Miss Jones and Falbrrook High School for your AP silver status from the college board. Um I wanted to talk about summer school as the board knows and um maybe even the community because we've talked about it in the past. We have been working on an electrical upgrade for um the district for Fal Brook High School and obviously during the school year we can't work on it because we can't um shut power off but um we've come to the third year or the second second year of the project. It's uh year two of the project and um we are going to be shutting off electrical power intermittently during the summer. The work on the project is going to is scheduled to begin um the day after graduation, so June

0884th, 2025. And it's significantly going to impact our summer school operations. So, we have discussed it. We have looked at the number of students who might need um remediation. Um but again, as a result of this electrical upgrade, which is very very much needed, we are going to be impacting our summer school offerings. We will offer extended school year. Um Mr. U Tippen, they have the handout. So >> they have the the handout if you couldn't get it. Thank you. Um we will be offering extended school year. Um it's something that we have to do by law. I believe that we have to offer 20 days. So ESY will be provided for students that qualify and the current plan is to house um extended school year in the agricultural area in those classrooms for two

089main reasons. First of all, there's adequate access to to buses and there's a large restroom facility that's suitable for the special needs of the students in um extended school year program. We are also going to offer our senior nonpromote program and this program will be held at Ivy High School. Although it is run through um our online platform, uh we know that students do better when they are in person or when there's some accountability that they can check in. So this is going to require one or two teachers to support participating students. We don't know the exact number. We hope it's low. Um and that's why I'm saying one or two teachers. We also will require some temporary relocations. So, the Fber Brook High School office and administration is going to temporarily be housed at

090Ivy High School and then the parent center and the migrant education center will be temporarily housed at Oasis High School. Um, another program that will be impacted is the summer band program. We are working with our elementary partners to see if we can offer the summer band program at Potter Junior High School since traditionally it is a camp for incoming 9th grade students that are going to be joining um band and those details are still being arranged and I will report back when they are finalized. The other um big issue with the electrical upgrade is of course the the pool. So the power is not going to be shut off entirely. And in the handout that you have, you'll see the different phases and the dates, but there are days where SDG& has notified us

091that they will have to shut the power off completely, which is why we'll we're relocating um programs and offices that are 12 month um where they may have to shut off the power from one to three days consecutively and that is an issue for our swimming pool. We will not be offering um a summer swim program through FAST because we don't know what those dates are. There is um the possibility of with no filters running for more than 24 hours that the pool isn't at a level where it is safe to go swimming either because of the chlorine or whatever that may be. So, we are looking at different possibilities, whether that be to somehow cordon off the area with temporary fencing because we know that there are community people that have keys and we

092would hate for someone to come in, use the pool without permission, and then um suffer some injury because of what we're going through. we are looking at or we've considered draining the pool altogether to avoid that problem. But that brings with it some other um implications. So that's something that I will report back to you as well um in the future what the plan is for that. We did want to get the instructional program completely squared away so that we can start communicating that to parents as soon as possible so that they can make the appropriate plans. Any questions? Um I had just a couple of questions. Um generally our um summer school um what is the number the number average number of students that attend? Does that vary greatly year to year or um

093the number has gone down? One of the things that we looked at is the trimester schedule and the ability for students to make up credits um dur in that trimester schedule and it is a possibility. Another program that's going to be affected is our summerbridge program that we use for struggling um students that we've identified that may struggle in nth grade. Uh but there really is not a benefit to offer it at the middle school. That is something that we like to offer at the high school to show them where things are located. Um but I can send that information as to how many classes are offered. And I know that we usually offer one section of um English 9, one of English 10, 11 and 12 are offered online. We offer one section of

094math 1, one section of um math 2 and then um usually one US history, one world history, and the American history. It depends. Sometimes those are online, sometimes they're in person depending on the number of students that are signed up. If we don't have enough for a full class, then it becomes an online program because students that are taking other courses can take that as well. And we offer um one biology section and one chemistry section. Um electives are generally not offered during during summer school. >> Got it. So in terms of the number of teachers required, it may end up flexing depending on how many do online. Um are there usually like five teachers that are involved, 10 teachers? There's I would say maybe 10 teachers. Um for the past two years, three years,

095we've had to hire teachers from outside of Fbrook because our own teachers aren't available to teach summer school. Um the same thing with PAR educators. Um and again, this year it will only be one or two teachers. >> Got it. Got it. Thank you very much. Any other questions? >> I had just a clarification kind of about the pool situation. As far as kind of the options, it sounds like as it stands now, the options look to be either to drain the pool to avoid any issues potentially with the filters and the chlorine or cordon off the area so they're not accessible. Are there any options for manual usage that way the filters can be bypassed so the electrical doesn't impact? This is just one of the issues that I've been approached by members of

096the community as far as their concern um as far as children losing out on access to the pool and I'm just curious kind of for them if any other options have been discussed that don't impact necessarily um the students as severely as for this entire month of uh I guess what late late June to late July. Any anything else that's been discussed? We are looking at different possibilities. Again, um we don't want a lawsuit because somebody gets injured because of the chlorine levels, etc. Um the other course that I forgot was PE. We do offer a PE course. It isn't only swim, it also includes um other sports. So again, just the pool and because of the delicate state of the pool, I mean, we're just worried that the power is going to be shut

097off altogether. um who knows if it's going to come back on for if the if the pool will run again um because everybody's well aware of of the issues that we have there. So those are things that we're still exploring. Again, our main focus was on the instructional piece to start communicating that to parents. As far as the fast program, we do know that our students will miss out on the opportunity to work as lifeguards and then um our swim teams or water polo teams may lose out on a little bit of practice, although the pool should be back up and running um before school starts. >> Is the Chem Pendleton pool use an option at all during summer or no? >> The FAST program again is not part of our program. So the fast

098program can investigate that and see if they're able to use the Pendleton pool and offer a community swim program for them. >> Yeah. And I assume the Vista Water Park is not going to be an option because that will be open for kids out of school all summer. Um so all right. Any other questions before you finish? >> No, I just um one I think the only pool left in town is the Boys and Girls Club. >> Correct. pretty small, probably in about the same shape as ours, probably built around the same time as ours. Um, but I would um request that we at least contact them in the process of it. I know their pool's not um the biggest lap pool type of thing, but if maybe coordinating something for the public for for

099a few of the the community members that do swim in the early morning that have keys, that kind of thing. They've been doing for a long time. uh coordinating with something with the Boys and Girls Club to say, "Is there a way to manipulate not so much their schedule, but to allow um some openings for community members to still swim while ours is down?" That that would be my only thing just to reach out to them. And >> I can definitely give Sean Redmond the contact information so that he can reach out to them. >> Thank you very much. Okay, our next agend agenda item um is falls under education services agenda item 13A um action international balorate sports exercise and health science standard level. I need a motion for this. >> I move that

100the board approve the international balorate sports exercise and health science standard level as presented. >> In a second. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Are there any questions on this? Okay. If not, we'll take a vote. Our student representatives have left for the evening. Mr. Carlio is not here. Mr. Christensen, >> I. >> Mr. Haskell >> I. >> Mr. Jones is not here and I will say I. Our next item is also under student services action. Cal Slate acronyms. California Healthy Kids Survey Memorandum of Understanding. I need a motion for this as well. >> Uh, I'll move for the action item Cal SCHLS, California Healthy Kids Survey Memorandum of Understanding. That proof the board approve the survey memorandum of understanding as presented. >> I can second that motion. Am I allowed to do that? Um, are

101there any other questions on this one? Do we need any clarification? Okay, our student representatives have left for the evening. Mr. Carmpio is not here. Mr. Christensen, >> uh, I I think I've asked all my questions over the years for this one. Probably still standing for where we were last year. >> We'll just have it be the running comment. >> U, Mr. Haskell, >> hi. >> Mr. Jones is absent and I am I. Um, and then now we have the, um, second action item, which is what was added to the amended agenda. Um, wave graduation requirement, community service hours for one student. Um, I'll make the motion that the board approve the waiver of the community service hours graduation requirement for one student class of 2026 who completed all academic requirements and is ready to

102graduate. I need a second. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Any questions on this or can do you want to elaborate? >> Yes. So, um the board may recall that they put in place a system for students that had not completed their community service hours that had um special circumstances to be able to meet with the board president or another board member designated by the board president to review their case and then um bring that to the board. So, um President Karolmpio um asked Vice President Jones to meet with the student. the student is an Oasis student that does have some extenduating circumstances and some hardships that have prevented the student from completing the hours. If I recall correctly, I believe the student has completed 30. Um, but they're also requesting because of the the hardships

103to graduate early and um it's coming before you tonight. I know that at the last meeting, Vice President Jones had mentioned that he would be speaking to it, but unfortunately he's under the weather. >> Thank you for the clarification. Any other questions? >> So, they've completed 30. And how many were required? >> 40. >> If we are ready for a vote, Mr. Colio is um Carlio is absent. Mr. Christensen. >> Hi. >> Uh Mr. Haskell >> I. >> Mr. Jones is is absent and Mr. Dardio votes I. Um, a third action item, petitions to graduate early. I need a motion, please. >> I move for the action item, petitions to graduate early. >> Second. I'll second it. Um, do you mind clarificate clarifying this one just for us quickly? >> Yes. So, we do have

104a board policy that states that students and parents have an opportunity to petition for early graduation based on credits completed, community service hours completed, ag completion, and being on track for career and or college. Um, most of the graduation petitions do come from Oasis High School. Uh, and there is a system in place now. We have of the students that are requesting early graduation, we have two students that are stating that they would like to start college early. That is not uncommon for Oasis, although in the past it has always been um acceptance to a 4-year university. This year, it's just um wanting to start Palomar College early, which is something that students can do while still enrolled in high school. Um, another one of the cases, again, it's a hardship situation where the student

105is turning 18 and will no longer have a place to live and sees um coming to school as something that could be negatively impacted by his home life and is afraid that they won't be able to continue coming or finish graduation or you know something will happen. And then the other case is a student um also Oasis um as you know at Oasis we have students that are professional athletes. In this case it's a professional model who has um finished the work travels extensively and would just um like to work um a little bit more on her modeling career and has met all of the requirements that are needed. >> Okay. Thank you very much for that. Um any other questions from the board? Um if not we're ready to vote. Mr. Carmpio's absent. Mr.

106Christensen >> I. >> Mr. Haskell >> I. >> Mr. Johns is absent and I vote I. Next item is under business services number one information the 2025 to 26 student enrollment report. This is an information item. I don't have an official presentation. The entire enrollment report is included in the board item. But I do want to point out the 2526 projected ADA. You will really never see that number again. It will not come to fruition un barring an influx of enrollment. But what that is is that takes our enrollment number on Cabbed's day, CalPAD's day now, which is the first Wednesday of October, which was 2013. that times our general ADA which is our average daily attendance percentage is about 93. So if you take 2013 multiplied by 93% you get 1,872. That's why that

107is there as our projected ADA. But every month our enrollment changes. For instance, when we first did our SEAB stay, Calpad's day, now it was 2008. Then we found out we were missing some of our um non-public school students. So, we added five to that 2013. Like as in the report, it mentions we have a chance to go back and do a certification mid January. So, I think right now it's 2013. I don't expect that to be changing. That's our enrollment for the year. That is locked in. that enrollment number will not change, but the enrollment has changed. And every month we run an attendance report. And so one month our attendance report what we had 2009 students. Then in month three we had 1973 students. And then now month four we're back to 20,000

108students. And that's so our enrollment does fluctuate. And then our ADA is the students that are enrolled actually coming to school every day and being marked present. So that fluctuates between 92 to 95%. So most of the time the ADA we're projecting. So I'm taking our enrollment at the month times 93% and that's for that month. But when it matters, when it's P2, that's what we're funded on. And that is month eight, which is the end of March. So then I go back and I say, okay, over time, and I've gone back 10, 15 years. Between P1 and P2, we lose sometimes we've lost 45 students, sometimes we've lost seven, sometimes we've lost 30. So if I do an average, it's about 22 students that we lose from P1 to P2. So we just did

109P1 and our P1 was our P1 was 1868. So according to history, we usually lose about 20ome students. I said, well, maybe P2 will be 1854. So, that's what we're hoping at the end of March. But the reason that the enrollment report shows 1872 is simply, like I stated, because it's the enrollment at Cabbeds day times 93%. Because that's what's required of us to report in the SAX forms on the criterion standards when I submit my first intram, second in. and you get that huge stack of all that exhibit part of that one of those standards is what is your percentage of ADA from and so that's what it does it takes that simple calculation that's why I used that number in this report but like right now like I said we're more going to

110probably be closer to an 1860 1854 when we get close to the end of March any questions on any part of the enrollment report. >> Just to clarify, a steady decline, very little over so many years, but a few here and there each year. We're we're seeing a steady decline in enrollment. >> We are and actually we've we're picking up now because we actually increased 12 students. And if you can see like in the past there was a time we were decreasing about 100 students a year and that started to level off and then during COVID the numbers that we got to use were actually higher than what we really had. So now we're kind of getting back to reality like we would use a cohort model and it was pretty spot-on. It's all over

111the place now because according to the cohort model we should be increasing like 20 30 students. that's not happening. So, right now we're really stuck to just kind of waiting and seeing. >> Um, just so I know, basically, if we wipe CO out, take those numbers out, our numbers projected 1872 versus say 1920, it's right around when CO started, but 2026, we're still lower than we were before CO and kind of a steady decline since then. Yes. >> Minus the fluctuation of co years. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> That that progressive decline even if if um small is that indicative of uh I mean is it across the board for schools? Do we see like are we an outlier? Any idea if that's normal, abnormal >> in the state of California and especially in

112San Diego County? Most districts are seeing a decline. There are some that are seeing an increase, but most of them when at my CBO meetings, everybody shares out where they're at with enrollment and it's just the state of California is overall in a decline. We kind of offset that a little bit as a it didn't affect us because we're not an ele we're not a we don't have an elementary school. We're not a unified district. We're high school because when TK came into play as that was a new grade that was added a few years ago. So the increase in the TK students kind of offset the decline. So those those districts stayed flatter, showed a little bit of increase, but now that's kind of leveling out. And so those even those districts are starting

113to decline as well. And just for just for clarity though, even if it's countywide or or statewide based on what you're you you put the information in here, no, nobody can see it, but um you had Mission Hills or Mission Vista opened up over the last I don't know, five years. So there's one influx of another school students are going to. Bonsol has opened up and developed their high school program more extensively over the last um say five to 10 years somewhere in there. So you have um a pretty steady amount of kids even though you have two new schools that are relatively close and and an option for students to go to or for parents to go to. Um we had u 52 transfer in and 80 transferred out. majority of those going to

114it says Vista I'm assuming it's Mission Vista. So the convenience of that school location obviously some of our decline is going to be because of more schools developing and I think we're still holding pretty steady on our enrollment regardless of other schools opening up and things that we offer which is a huge blessing to the community whether it's sports, language arts, uh dual immersion, that kind of stuff. So we're holding steady which is nice. >> Yes. Correct. Because most of our decline in the beginning back in 1415 and when Bonsel Unified we had a huge decline there of students that were then going there. Mission Vista has and that's yeah it's listed by district but the Vista district the school is Mission Vista that most of the students are going to and so that's a

115huge part of our decline and the ones that are coming in are for our specialized programs they'll come for our IB program and a lot come in for our sports programs so that's the reason that they do put and then um so we we do the best we can to retain who we can >> and Bonsel is legally limited as to some of the sports that they can't do. So that benefits us to some degree as well because we do get some of those students. Um and just to to clarify for the members watching online, ADA is the average daily attendance. I know there was a lot of discussion at the school board conference in terms of that is being looked at at the state changing that to enrollmentbased and not ADA based, but at

116this point that has not changed yet. Is that correct? >> That has not changed yet. Okay. >> Correct. and they're not talking about changing that at this point. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Brenda. Apologies. Next item is the Superintendent Human Resources item number one. Um information revised new and deleted board policies BP and administrative regulations AR in exhibits E. This is for information only. Yes, this is our regular monthly um item. The revised new and deleted board policies and administrative regulations are being presented as an information item for a first reading and will return as an action item at the next board meeting. Ongoing reviews and updates are necessary with board policies and administrative regulations. This review enables the district to ensure the policies, regulations, exhibits, and bylaws conform to state and federal law. The

117district compares its policies, regulations, exhibits, and bylaws with CSBA recommendations. Additionally, the review serves as a reminder to the governance team and staff of the operational principles and implementation guidelines for the district. At this time, there are no financial implications associated with the agenda item and um it is presented as anformational item for first reading and will be placed on the next agenda for action. Thank you. Um, and just to also clarify that, um, we take this for granted that we do this every single month, um, when I was getting a lot of my training done, that is not the case in many, many school districts. They do not update on a regular basis. They may do it once a year. They may do it once every couple of years. A lot of school districts

118don't necessarily have a um, a master facility plan in place. So we are very fortunate that we do run our policies officially according to legal guidelines. Um the next item is an action item also for revised new and deleted board policies BP administrative regulation AR in exhibits E. I do need a motion for this one. >> I move that the board approve in the second reading the revised new and deleted board policies, administrative regulations, exhibits, and bylaws as presented. >> Second. >> I'll second. Um, our student members have left for the evening. Any other questions regarding this one? Okay. Um, um, Mr. Carlio is absent. Mr. Christensen, >> I. >> Mr. Haskell >> I. >> Mr. Jones is absent and Mr. Rardio votes I. Um, the third action item is to adopt resolution number 12-2526,

119intention to reduce slashdiscontinue certificated employees. I do need a motion for this one, please. >> I'll move for the action item adoption resolution number 12-2526, intention to reduce discontinued certificated employees. >> Um, I'll second that. Um, are there any questions on this? >> No questions. I think just as a comment of understanding a lot of what we've talked about of of enrollment numbers um whether it's enrollment or ADA there's a lot of factors that have come into this over the years where we've trying to budget trying to hire trying to cover um different variables um and this is just an action item to uh propose it if you will as we move forward um it's not a absolute but it is definitely something budget-wise we are having to accommodate for various reasons. >> Well phrased

120and yeah to to think about a lot of that will also depend on what our enrollment is at time um how many classes that we offer um and the number of teachers that are needed to staff those um any other comments or questions. Okay, ready to vote. U Mr. Carampio is absent. Mr. Christensen >> I. >> Mr. Mr. Haskell >> I. >> Mr. Jones is absent and I vote I. And our final item is the consent agenda. All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered by the board of trustees to be routine and to be enacted with one action. There's usually no discussion of these items prior to the time of the board of trustees vote on the motion unless members of the board request a specific item to be discussed or deleted from

121the consent agenda. I do need a motion on this one, please. I'll motion for the action item approval of consent agenda. >> Okay, >> second. >> Chris second that. Thank you. Um, any other comments or anything? >> Okay, we'll go ahead and vote. Mr. Carlumpio is absent. Mr. Christensen, >> I. >> Mr. Haskell, >> hi. >> Mr. Jones is absent and I vote I. And that completes our consent agenda. Um, item number 15 is organizational matters. This is the appropriate place in the agenda for members of the board to request the superintendent provide further information regarding items discussed at this meeting and or request that new items of business be placed on future agendas. Um do you does the board have any additional items it would like from our >> um I my I know

122I was gone in December. I'm just requesting again that the survey results >> coming in February. Okay. >> For the trimester. >> Yeah. if I could just get the like the raw data before it's all compiled so just to look through and get a take on it prior to our meeting that'd be great. >> Okay. Um anything else? Um the only other item that I thought of and maybe it's something the board needs to discuss is um we do have a student of the month recognition that is done through one of the local churches. And I do wonder if we should mention who those students are at our monthly board meetings just so that we acknowledge them at this one for those who aren't able to attend that event. Just a thought. >> And to

123clarify, it's actually put on by the nonprofit Spalbrook Student of the Month. It's held in the church, but the church doesn't actually sponsor the the program. >> Yeah. But that might be um it's always nice to recognize our students and what they do and and give a shout out to them. Um item number 16 is the date and time of our next meeting. The next regular meeting of the board of trustees will be held on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 at 4:30 in the Fal Brook High School Library. Um this cause this is now the adjournment. There being no further business to come before the board, the regular meeting of January 14th, 2026 was adjourned.
