I'd like to start off with our Fal Brook's finest recognition for the month
005of April 2025. We are thrilled to recognize Marley Moodle as Fbrook's finest student for the month of April. Mar Marley, if you are present, if you could come forward, please. Marley is being recognized for her exceptional involvement in our school community as a dedicated member of the associated student body, dual immersion program, girls softball, girls field hockey, hockey, girls scouts, and the superintendent's advisory council. Marley consistently demonstrates leadership, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her positivity, enthusiasm, and kindness make her a true ray of sunshine, inspiring others and fostering a sense of unity and spirit at our school. We are incredibly proud of you, Marley. Thank you. And if you guys can get closer so we can get a picture. Thank you and congratulations. Now, we'd like to move on to uh the Fal
006Brook's finest department or classification. Last month, Fbrook High School had their Wasque accredititation visit. The visit is the culmination of months and sometimes years of planning and collaborative discussions between all staff members. Tonight, we want to recognize the WASK coordinator and the WASK focus group leaders for their commitment and dedication in leading their peers and working together to create the written report. As I call your name, please come forward. Was coordinate coordinator Megan Webblammo. Our focus group leaders, Heather Smith, VAPA teacher, Heidi Forier, math teacher. Bill Lenoway, math teacher. Dan Bachmann, social science teacher. Marin Panel, science teacher and department chair. Lisa Christensen, science teacher. Shannon Charles, English teacher and AVID coordinator. Scott Smith, English teacher. And Alana Milton, social science teacher. Thank you for your willingness to go above and beyond for for this.
007You are Fbrook's finest for the month of April. And we have one more staff member to be recognized. Um, she is kind of in a classification all of her own. So, in celebration of school library month, we are proud to recognize Mara Bower, our outstanding library and media services tech. As one of Fal Brook's finest for the month of April. Although Miss Bower is not the librarian of record, her dedication, technical expertise, and unwavering support ensure that our library runs smoothly and effectively. She goes above and beyond to assist students and staff, fostering a welcoming and resourcerich environment. We are incredibly grateful for her contribution and the positive impact that she makes every day. Thank you, Miss Bower. And one more picture. Thank you. And every month we recognize a community group or a parent
008group. And this month we are proud to recognize our Fbrook Rotary as our community partner for the month of April for the unwavering support they give our students and staff through generous scholarships sponsoring Model United Nations, the four-way test speech contest, and the Interact Club. They empower future leaders. Their commitment extends to honoring our dedicated school staff each month, fostering a culture of appreciation. Thank you Fbrook Rotary for exemplifying service above self and making a lasting impact on our schools and community. We are truly grateful. With us tonight is Jim Mendelson, president and Kimberly Huising, presidentelect, as well as Rotary member Teresa Me Mendelson. If you could please step forward. Perfect. Thank you. Oh, I know. That's okay. And we have one more recognition this evening that is not a part of Fbrook's finest. I
009didn't have the agenda in front of me. So, if you could step forward again, please. Earlier last month, we were notified that AXA region 18 and AXA stands for the Association of California School Administrators um of school super of superintendent and administrators um recognizing Dr. Dr. Annabelle Luna as the student services employee of the year and region 18 is the San Diego region. Dr. Luna has been instrumental in growing our CTE programs as well as in growing our dual enrollment program with local colleges. She has spearheaded efforts to bring together other districts so that collaboratively we have more power and more opportunity to offer courses uh college courses to our students here on campus. Thank you Dr. Luna for all that you do and congratulations. [Applause] Thank you. Next, we'll move on to our presentations
010report from SEIU, Miss Mora Bower. Thank you board members for giving us the opportunity to have our voices heard and to be here tonight. We're always thrilled when we get your ear for a little bit. Um let's see. So we also wanted to extend our gratitude to the Wasque committee. Um we had a such we had so many opportunities to speak into what was happening and be a part of the Wasque visit. It was gratifying to have our voices heard and our opinions and ideas about what should be happening and what is happening and what's going well on campus heard by the committee and um and by our peers and also felt like we were listened to. So I really appreciate that and we were grateful to be able to have Wasque here and go
011through that process with our certificated and admin personnel as well. Um we've also been working with the HR office regarding some absences that have been happening with our um with our classified personnel here, working towards resolution of that, coming up with some better protocols um to help out not only our classified members and staff, but also um our HR department when somebody's going to be out for a while and um needs needs more time off. Um so hopefully we've been working towards productive resolutions in that regard. Um, we're also working on coming up with our articles that we'd like to sunshine for our next bargaining and negotiation session. Uh, we'll be meeting together at the end of this month, uh, with our SEIU members so that they can vote on what we're going to choose
012to sunshine. We should have that to you before the next board meeting. So, you'll be able to hear from us on that. Um, we'd also like to highlight the low voltage technician position that you'll be reviewing later tonight. We're really excited about that and to get it moving and get ours um campus moving in a right direction and not having to uh pay outside for that one. I think it'll be really helpful. Um we're also looking forward next month to having our full-time PAR positions on the agenda. Um that's something that we've been working towards that the teachers have been working towards and we feel like it's really going to add a lot to our campus. So watch for that one as well. You guys have any questions tonight? Thank you. Public comments. The Farber
013Union High School District Board of Education encourages and invites the public to comment on agenda and non-aggenda items.

Do we have any public comments? We do not. Thank you. communication and reports reports from
014student board representatives. Miss Hardy. All right. Good evening everybody. Thank you for having me here again. So, first of all, I would like to say that the ASB officers for the 2025 to 2026 school year have been made official. Their names and positions will be announced to the school via an Instagram post that should be coming up soon. Also, our annual festival of cultures was celebrated March 28th. ASB brought together many of the culturalbased clubs we offer here to put on an amazing lunchtime show for the whole school to enjoy. I'd also like to acknowledge that last week we had a bit of a schedule change due to juniors taking the CASP test. All five days of the week involved them taking a different test for up to two hours. And I'm sure we're all
015very proud of our juniors for pushing through during this stressful time. And on a more exciting note, the prom theme was revealed to the whole school today. So far, I believe around 150 tickets have been sold and ASB is working hard with preparations to be made before prom, which is May 17th at the Birch Aquarium. Um, finally, spring break is arriving after this week. So, that's really exciting. And students will have a 7-day break returning to school on the 21st of April. Thank you. That's all. Thank you. Report from principles. Good evening. Happy Wednesday. Um, just a couple of things as we're heading into spring break next week. Um, we are wrapping up cast testing, so makeups. U Megan, who is here, is also our testing coordinator and she's done an incredible job at, uh,
016coordinating testing over the last week. um and bringing in the handful of students who might have had an absence last week or didn't finish the test on time, things like that to allow them that opportunity. When I spoke with her this morning, um we were at 98 and 99% particip participation rates as of right now, which is awesome because our goal is to get above 95%. So, um as I mentioned, spring break is next week and then we come back, we have about a week in between that and the start of AP and IB testing, which Megan also coordinates that on our campus alongside Marin Penel. Um, our AP and IB testing actually also falls at the same time as we'll be having another group of visitors come to our campus, which is our IB
0175-year revisit. So, that group will be coming to our site to talk to students involved in the program and staff that are teaching IB coursework. Um, their goal is kind of three-fold. Um, obviously, it's kind of a a dipstick measurement of where we are in in time. It's a little bit different than our recent WASK visit in that they're not coming in to say you're doing it right, you're doing it wrong, things like that. It's more of a where are you in your journey when it comes to the IB program. Um their uh goal, like I said, is to speak with IB staff, students, and families of students that have partake partaken in our IB programming. Um and then also to help us establish some goals for the next five years. And so we walk
018out of that situation with um a collective action plan for how we want to continue to grow our IB program um as the as we wait for the next visit. They did let us know um which is good information to have for the next time around that they actually have people who will do a coordinated visit with Wasque. So we could instead of having two visits in the same month period of time, maybe even work together to have those two things dubtail um when we come back around to our next visit, which would be awesome. So, that's coming right up. Um, and that will put us in May, which will be here, as we all know, very, very fast. Um, I'll speak a little bit in May about some of the awesome things that are
019happening at the end of the year, but obviously graduation and um, student events like prom is coming around the corner really fast. Um, so we are excited for all of those things. But that's my update for the week. Any questions for me? Thank you. Good evening everyone. Ivy wrapped up a successful ESPback testing week last week. We actually completed our testing over two weeks and we are expecting to have 100% participation. So doing well just like Falbrook. We were notified last week that Ivy will be participating in a model continuation visit that's going to be happening with 60 of our fellow continuation educators on April 24th. So, they'll be bringing bus loads of people up to check out our IV campus. I did remind them how small we are. So, 60 people is going to
020feel like a large group. Um, but they understand um alternative ed and they understand continuation schools. And I think it's going to be a really cool opportunity for them to see a lot of the things that we've bragged about in the model continuation process in practice with our teachers. So, we're excited to welcome the visitors from CCA Plus on the 24th of April right after we come back from break. And of course, our official recognition will be that Saturday. Tomorrow, we're going to be celebrating the Ivy Awards for second trimester. So, we'll be celebrating our ABCs, attendance, behavior, and credits for our IV students, as well as recognizing our inner mural basketball team. It's always a nice way to to end the period right before spring break with celebrating our students accomplishments. You're of course
021welcome to join us as always. That will be at 10:30. And then we just have a fun um spring egg scavenger hunt. just it's something fun and celebratory for our students to do at the end. Uh following spring break, we are just completely focused on all things graduations for both schools. Um we will have some additional fun opportunities for our IV students heading into the end of the year. We'll be doing our second incend attendance incentive which is part of our CI focus. So students with n who've met the goal of 90% attendance or above will be getting to be treated to a trip to the San Diego Zoo. Additional additionally, we're going to be have a schoolwide field trip to Palomar and then um our students in US history will be visiting the Nixon
022Library and we're just wrapping up the last of our service hours for our students to make sure they're on track and ready to go for our graduation on June 3rd. For Oasis, all good is all is good on the independent study front. We will be shortly after spring break uh finally installing our mural that will go on the wall facing the district parking lot. So we'll be celebrating and commemorating the 30 years of independent study that has taken place on the Oasis campus. And other than that um enrollment remains high at that school and we are just streamlining our process for intakes and for master agreements for the end of this year so that our students are ready to go with expectations and understandings for success as we go into 2526. Any questions you might
023have for me? Yes. When is Oasis graduation? Same day as Ivy's on June 3rd. It'll immediately follow at 6 PM. Thank you. All right. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Next we have report from board members. Does anyone want to go first? I'll go first. Um I had the pleasure of attending the student of the month event at North Coast Church um last week which was always a pleasure to see our students recognized and um I felt this time around um especially there was a very sort of warm community feel um about the students and um you know as one student or their family members would get up they would recognize and honor their fellow honores which I thought was a positive thing. So, that was really um positive. And then um along the lines of
024the community organization, we just recognized our Rotary um did our monthly staff recognition, which um recognized Lauren, our Fbrook principal, as well as uh Brenda, our CBO. Both of whom are extremely welldeserving in what they do. And it's just such a um an honor to have you um help lead our school and our students. Um, on a personal note, I um have officially completed my masters in board governance and my certificate for small school board association. So, I'm done with all those Zoom meetings and webinars. So, um I'm glad about that. But I did learn a huge amount from that um which was the goal that I can, you know, that as we help govern um our great school district that we do the best that we can do and we have all the up-to-ate
025information that we need. So, that's it. Thank you, Ta. Congratulations on completing those. That's uh no small feat. Uh I only have one thing. Uh I just want to make the public aware and hopefully you're starting to hear about it. May 3rd, the school district is hosting along with a lot of community members an event here in this room on wildland and wildfire preparedness. So the fire department, the sheriff's department, both school districts I believe um and several other community members are going to be here. uh community groups are going to be here educating the public on uh all you all your answer all your questions about wild on fire and how to prepare and and and deal with that. So if you have any questions or want to know more I know there's a
026lot of uh concern following the LA fires rightly so uh we've set that up for that and again that's going to be May 3rd at 9:00 a.m. right here at the library. That's all. Thank you. U congratulations Donna as well. It's a good good accomplishment for you and we all appreciate your hard work for it. I I don't have anything to add. It's a busy time of year and busy time for students and parents. A lot of things going on. So, um, nothing more to add. Appreciate it. Same thing here. Just want to wish everyone a safe spring break. Hope you have fun. Next, we have report from superintendent. Have a short one tonight. Uh, next week is spring break as you've heard numerous times for our community and when we return we will be
027close to entering the month of May which is filled with celebrations for our graduating seniors. As you celebrate spring break and graduation, make safety your top priority. Enjoy the moment, but make smart choices. Avoid drugs, alcohol, and risky behavior. Look out for your friends and get home safely. Your future is bright. Protect it by celebrating responsibly. One night should not cost a lifetime of dreams. As Trusty Jones mentioned, on Saturday, May 3rd, North County Fire Protection District will be hosting their second bianual wildland symposium here at Fbrook High School. The morning will be filled with informative presentations from a number of organizations to help the community best prepare for a wildland fire. Prepared communities are resilient communities. Being prepared helps mitigate the impacts of crisis, safeguard lives, and foster long-term long-term stability. True resilience begins
028at the grassroots level within informed and connected communities that are ready to act. And I want to preface my next statement by saying that the district cannot and does not comment on specific allegations, corrective actions, or investigations due to student and staff privacy rights. However, I feel the need to comment on the ugliness many have demonstrated on social media in the past week. I recognize that we all have the right to free speech, but I ask that we be mindful of the power of our word that our words hold, especially on social media. Spreading gossip or unverified stories can harm reputations, create division, and deeply affect our students. Choose kindness. Protect each other's dignity. And use your voice to uplift, not tear down. Especially when it involves our youth. Think before you post. It truly
029matters. Thank you. Thank you. Next, we have public hearing session on public hearing on 2025 fee justification study. I would like to call the public hearing for the 2025 fee justification study to order at 6:00 p.m. for the Fbrick Union High School District. Notice is hereby given that the governing board of the Fork Union High School District will hold the public hearing to consider the adoption of proposed of the proposed 2025 fee justification study and a resolution of the board to approve the statutory fee rates of 5.17 per square feet of accessible space for residential development and 84 cent square ft of re of chargeable covered and ankle. space for the commercial industrial projects. Pursuant to its fee sharing agreement with its elementary school districts, the district will be collecting 33.33% of the statuto rates.
030And we have a presentation by Doug Floyd uh regarding the 2025 fee justification study. Good evening. Thank you very much. Good evening board members, district cabinet. Again, my name is Doug Floyd. with the firm Coppel and Gruber Public Finance. And I'll be giving a short overview of uh what this public hearing covers. Um and there's an action item under agenda C1 for consideration to increase uh school fees that the district can charge against new residential and commercial development. Um these are fees that districts are authorized to collect. Um and really the purpose is to offset at least in part uh the impact of new developments on school facilities. So the these fees can be collected and the revenues can be used uh to pay for uh school facilities throughout the district. Um these fees are
031collected uh typically on a on a onetime basis typically before uh development begins. So it is a one-time uh fee and the fees are capped. Uh the fee caps are set across the state. Um and the fee caps are adjusted in every other year in even years to adjust for cost inflation. The state last adjusted the fees in 2024. And the current rates are $5.17 for new residential construction and 84 cents per square foot for new commercial and industrial construction. um as a and these these fee rates are quoted for unified school districts. As a union school district sharing common jurisdiction with the elementary districts, um you were required to enter into a fee sharing agreement to split the fee and the fee sharing agreement gives a third of the maximum to the district. Uh
032currently the district collects a $116 per residential square foot and and 19 cents per commercial uh industrial square foot. Uh these fees were last approved in 2016. Um so it's been a while since the the district has um approved new rates. In order to increase the rates, you have to go through this process of preparing a fee justification study and following a set of um clearly defined legal procedures, including this public hearing. Uh the fee study, the fee justification study, um really it's intended to demonstrate that there's a reasonable relationship between the fees that the district's charging and the cost impact uh of those new development projects on school facilities. So we call that the reasonable relationship test and really the the entirety of the or most of the uh study is um working towards
033making sure that the the district satisfies that test. Uh again we prepared this the 2025 study. It has been available for public review since uh March 28th. It's been posted on the district's website and it's included in the board packet tonight. uh the study does confirm that the district is justified in collecting the full maximum amounts. Uh and in the course of satisfying the reasonable relationship that test that I mentioned um there's three really three requirements. One is the district must make a projection of new housing. It must estimate the number of students generated from such housing projects and estimate the cost of providing uh school facilities as a result of those students. So my firm uh you know researched through the county of planning department um you know through the Fbrook uh planning um
034volunteer group. We uh identified approximately 340 new units that are reasonably and conservatively expected to be built in we say in the next 10 years. It's really difficult to estimate timing of projects but these are projects that are either entitled um or approved or under construction. Um if you look at what the county's regional housing needs, they they estimate there will be thousands of units. Um we typically don't go with those projections because we we tend to think those are optimistic. So these are just um projects that are known. Uh we then estimate what we call student generation rates. Those are the average number of students per household. And using those average uh number of students per household, if you multiply those by the estimated or projected units, um we estimate that new residential development
035will generate around 60 students. Um now, when you look at the district's facilities, uh clearly there's capacity um to absorb those students. There's seats available. Um, but there's a provision in the law that says that the school fees can include cost uh reasonably attributed to the need to refurbish existing uh school facilities or school facilities to maintain an existing level of service or the cost to achieve um an adopted uh plan. Now, in 2023, as you're aware, the district adopted a facilities master plan that identified capital improvement projects at to the tune of $250 million. And um what we what we looked at is looked at the projects that can be funded through developer fees. Not all projects can be funded through developer fees. If it's routine repair, deferred maintenance, uh those are strictly prohibited
036under the law of being funded by school fees. And so looking at the cost and deriving a basically a cost per seat um we estimate on a cost per seat of 84,000 um and using that number and looking at the number of students expected from the new housing um we can then distill the cost down to a cost per household and then further into a cost per square foot. Um, and what that allows us to do and and just going through the analysis and the study, um, the cost impact per square foot is $853. So, you can see, um, that's much higher than the maximum amount that the district can charge, the $1.72 cap. So, when that happens, we can say that the district's reasonably um, justified in charging the full $1.17 or $1.72, pardon.
037um because the cost impact is higher. Uh now for the basis for commercial industrial development, state guidelines kind of provide a a formula for doing that and it's really based on um employee generation. If you think new commercial industrial centers uh create the need for uh create employee generation, employee generation creates new housing, need for new housing. Um and then that gets distilled down and really the the district's justified and and we separate the cost impacts based on um I think 12 different commercial industrial categories. Um and those are all justified. So you have like banks, office, uh um you know warehousing. Um the only one that's not justified to the full amount is uh self- storage and that's you know pretty much across the board through for every district that's not fully satisfied um
038because the employee generation on a per square foot basis is is reasonably low. So in that case um you're you would you would charge what the impact was and I had that written down. I'm not finding it but uh it's slightly lower. So, I can look at that. Um, with that, and I'll find that number. Uh, if the district does decide to approve their resolution uh tonight, um, by law that those fees would go into effect 60 days later or by June 8th. Um, so it's not an immediate effective date. You do have to wait the 60 days. And looking at that commercial Great. Yeah, rental self storage is 20 cents per square foot instead of the 28. Uh, with that, I'll open it up to any questions at the board or anyone has. I
039have a question for you. So, when was the last time we increased these uh school fees? Uh, 2016 was 2016. Um, and currently the residential, and I'm I'm just going to focus on the residential, but currently residential is a dollar6 a square foot. Uh, yes. and we're looking at raising it to $1.72 a square foot. Correct. Um in the in the history of these feat, I don't know if that's a big jump. Um seemingly if you're building in Fbrook that the median house, new house being built is probably a million dollar house give or take. Um, but that's a a significant impact that's paid through property taxes as a as a percentage or is that just a statef funed? No, the the $1.72 would be collected by the district um and before that the applicant
040could acquire a building permit to construct that the new house the new home or homes and and that is based on the plans of what the square footage of the residence would that's correct. So on average um in Fbrook uh we estimate because there's some apartment uh projects that are planned uh it's around 1,700 square ft per unit. Um so if you look at the the increase from $116 to $1.72 it adds about $980 um to the school fee impact fee if you will. Exactly. Okay. That's all I have. Thank you. And this is strictly for new construction. This would not change what current commercial or residential it's it's collected for new residential and new commercial development. Um what you've given us is estimates. You're estimating how many students there will be. You're estimating square
041footage. We would actually bill on the actual numbers. Is that correct? So that's correct. So if houses are bigger than 1753 square feet then it would be more. Um okay. Is there any provisions to build or or are ADUs included in this? They are. Um, so there was a lot of back and forth in the legislation and interpretations about whether or not ADUs could be charged and um, really it's that's been sorted out and accessory dwelling units can be charged uh, residential fee rates. Now cities are different. Cities, you know, their impact fees are exempt but school fees are not. Okay. Maybe maybe you don't know. Do you have any idea since in this report how many ADUs are in our district? I don't because they're really very difficult to project. Um, yeah, it's it's
042something that, you know, we have a a a note in here regarding ADUs, but it's not really in our projections because to to find all the plans for every single ADU, it's it's very difficult. Yeah. Okay. I just know in our community there are many of them and some are um not entirely permitted and of course that's lost revenue for students that we're trying to support. So that's my question there. Um I think the answer is the same but is there there's no different calculations for a single family dwelling and a multif family? It's the same. No, it's just based on a per square foot basis. So Okay, that's it. Thank you. And my last question is because we're splitting this with the elementary district 1/3 2/3 uh your student estimates are also split about
043the same way. So if you were doing the same calculation, the elementary school would be projecting to get about 120 students. Is that well the the element so the elementaryaries uh districts would have their own fee justification study to support their share of the maximum amount? So to ask it another way, does your 60 student estimate Yeah. slice that it's only going to be 60 high school students? Those are Oh yeah, sorry. 60 60 Yeah, sorry. 60 stu uh high school students. It doesn't it doesn't factor in anything about the elementary districts. They have their own separate study to justify their amount and they have their own projections as far as elementary and middle school students. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. I do have one additional question regarding ADUs or just comment. Um, we
044were looking at building an ADU on our property and ended up deciding against it just because then you do have to get your prop your property reappraised and the value of your home is your current value plus the value of your ADU. So therefore, like in our case, we bought our house 14 years ago and the value was quite a bit less and taxes go up. So, I would anticipate that there's some ADUs that people maybe had planned on building that maybe have decided now not to do that moving forward. Like in our case, we didn't. Yeah, we've seen um just in and this is just our our observations for other areas, there was kind of a a peak and it's starting to slow down as far as ADU development, but um yeah, a few
045years ago there was quite a number of applications. Thank you. Are there any public comments for the public hearing for the 2025 fee justification study? There are not. Let the record show that no one addressed the board regarding this topic. I'm adjourning the public hearing at 6:15 p.m. Next, we're going to open the public hearing. Sorry. I would like to call the public hearing for the sunshine negotiations proposal Fbrick High School Fbrook High School Teachers Association FHSTA to order at 6:15 for the Fbrick Union High School District. Notice is hereby given that the board of trustees for of the Fabric Union High School District will conduct a public hearing regarding the bargaining proposal of the Fabrook High School Teachers Association FHSTA. Are there any public comments for the public hearing for the Sunshine Negotiations proposal
046for Fbrook High School Teachers Association? There are not. Thank you. Let the record show that no one addressed the board regarding this topic. I'm adjourning the public hearing at 6:16 p.m. Um, Mr. President, to um clarify, is this something then we would be voting on at next month's meeting or a future meeting? I believe so. Okay. On the agenda, it's actually later on in the agenda that you will be voting on it. Okay. Okay. Agenda items, educational service information, new course, IB, economics, SL standard level. This information item, it will be on the next board meeting for action. and Emily Ton. Emily Ton will be presenting I can I can speak to it. Um we don't have the presentation just yet but basically I do have two courses that we are bringing to the board
047for information. It's IB economics which is at the standard level for the international balorate program. We're also bringing uh IB business management also at the standard level. Uh part of the reason that we're bringing these courses to you uh pre I was going to call her President Jones, Principal Jones um spoke a little bit about our IB visit. So we are in year five and we are being visited and since the trimester system, we've been actually looking at our IB program and trying to determine what parts of the program are functioning best, what parts do we want to make a little bit better. uh since the inception of the IB program, we've actually had a significant increase in the number of students who are taking rigorous courses, whether that's IB, honors or AP courses. There's
048been a steady increase over the past few years, which has been wonderful. Uh one of the things that we are focusing on is the career related program uh and the certificate that students can get through IB. And one of the things that we are noticing is that the access for students to get that certificate um is not always widely known to our students. So we're trying to make sure we're communicating that a little bit more efficiently to them and we're trying to provide them some more options in terms of courses that would align very well with our career technical education pathways. And so for the IB IB career related program certificate, students have to take two IB courses and they can be either at the standard level or at the higher level. We have both
049levels at Pbrook High School. Uh they also need to take a CTE pathway and and complete that. And then within that, they also need to take a personal professional skill course. Currently, we have about 12 11th graders in a personal professional skills course. So, we're excited to see those students potentially get the certificate next year. Um, within that, they participate in a reflective project where they research ethical dilemmas in a a particular career field. They also do some language development which can be met a variety of different ways whether that's a course or as part of their project or part of their service learning. And then they also are required to participate in service learning. So, uh, IB economics and IB business management were chosen because they tie in very well for students who are
050interested in that career pathway. You can click to the third one because I kind of jumped ahead. So, the IB economics, some of the core things that are addressed in that class are microeconomics, macroeconomics, trade development, economic policy. The skills that are emphasized for students are global economic analysis, policy evaluation and civic understanding. And part of IB is an internal assessment that they do. So they have to create a portfolio and that usually includes things like economic commentaries on real world events. Uh so that would be for our economics course for the IB business management course. Some of those core areas in the course are marketing, finance, HR, operations, ethics, and sustainability. And the skills emphasized are business strategy, leadership, financial literacy, which I our students are saying they actually want more of, and stakeholder
051engagement. And they also have a capstone project through IB, and that's usually a business research project, and it has to address real world organizational challenges. Um these courses uh part of the reason that we're bringing them in and what we're looking at revising is instead of having courses that cross two years, these courses students would be able to take within one year and get an IB standard level course. So it's a a matter of access. It's also a matter of courses that are of interest to our students so that we can increase those numbers who want to get that career certificate. And do we have staff on hand that are able to teach this or is that something we have to hire for? So we have two staff members who are interested in the courses
052and looking at professional learning in our social science department. So uh we've worked really closely with the social science department as we started in the development of different courses. Um one who I think is ready for next year, one who's maybe looking at a little bit one one year out to get a little more information under their belt. Uh currently we do not have any course requests for the business management course. So we would probably continue to develop that over the course of next year. um possibly bringing that in 2627. Uh we have a few students who have chosen IB economics for next year. So we'll continue to monitor the course requests and see if we're able to offer the class. One one question um when we say we have the staff and something that's
053been brought up um we've discussed prior um we may have the staff for it but is is the staff that is being pulled into those classes um being removed from core classes that they are specialized in teaching or or continually teach and now we're bringing in another teacher that hasn't been teaching those course the A throughG coursework now they're separating themselves to this this class if That kind of makes sense. We're losing their specialty in what they do. So, they can go and do this, but we're bringing in somebody that's Yes. maybe qualified but doesn't really meet the standard based on our staffing numbers and the course requests and the students that uh the way things are kind of filtering out. We do have the space for the course in the social science department without
054removing a teacher from an area of their specialty. Uh it will really depend on the course requests because these are optional and electives. Um they would get economics credit, but they could also take a single trimester economics class. It really does depend on our course requests whether we offer it or not. Uh and especially with the electives that go across various departments, it's kind of a jigsaw puzzle that we that we map out. But there's there's definitely space right now without removing a social science teacher from their existing courses. But there's potential with the with an increased request from students for the class, there is potential that they would have to potentially be removed from their specialty if that like I see what you're saying, but there is there's still if if there's a set
05530 kids for a a class, they don't have to be removed from their specialty. But next year, if this class comes up and a whole bunch of students are like, "That sounds great." Now you have 60 or 90 kids that are requesting the elective. Now that teacher is looking at potentially three classes of that. That's not pos. You're removing them from their A throughG coursework to teach three elective classes. Yes. No, I understand. So there's that potential. Not saying it's going to happen, but there's potential. Yeah. Right. I understand. We are in declining enrollment. So I would say the potential at least right now is not very high. Last question, a little off topic. with um all the new electives and I and and it seems like every board meeting there's a new elective whether
056it's an action item or not but we're bringing in a lot of different options for kids which is great however there's a teaching component and there's a a financial compon component um developing all those courses is there a point in which um I don't have an example for a certain elective currently but let's say there's a declining enrollment in those electives and there's 10 kids or 15 kids, do we ever look at it and go, we just don't have the class availability for that, we're going to cancel this elective and move those kids to say this one or at some point just find at some point find a balance that is going to provide the the most electives that are requested because I know that some kids may want culinary arts, but it's not available
057to everybody. Where's that balance at that we stop adding um electives or we bring in new electives but we're dismissing the old ones that are are not as sought after. So it's really driven by student interest and involvement in the programs and funding. So there are certain courses that are funded specifically for example through supplemental concentration and they have that additional funding. We do look at those courses especially now with declining enrollment and we're being very conscientious if there are low numbers. We're not running some of those electives with with at those students then what would be their next alternative course that they would want on their schedule. Um so we are kind of looking at all of those puzzle pieces. The funding like I said kind of comes into play as well because our
058base educational courses are funded out of our base LCFF and then we do have our supplemental concentration courses that are the supplemental courses that we bring in with that supplemental funding. And when we're trying to launch a program off the ground, sometimes we will look at that a little more critically and conscientiously, but for the most part, especially now, we are looking very carefully at if the numbers are low, we're really trying not to run low number courses so that we are maintaining across the No, I appreciate it because I do the declining enrollment is a factor which is decreasing funding. There's a lot of decreasing funding throughout the state. Um, but with our financial obligations and bringing in no more classes and keeping some of the old and having some partial classes, there has
059to be a give and take at some point. So, I appreciate the the forethought of of looking at the enrollment, the desire. I'm assuming there's a a you know, when the the students sit down with their counselors or they go through their requests for their next year's classes or even next trimester's classes, that kind of thing, at some point there's an evaluation maybe at the end of the year that says, "What are the um which we did before. What are the electives that kids are looking for? Are they enjoying um I don't know floral design or or um you know tools um forgive me I don't know the exact name of the of the classes but are those a declining point that you're only getting a a small amount of interest versus some of the
060other ones? I appreciate the forethought. I I hope in the in the fall maybe we adjust some of those class needs and put teachers where they should be for the A through G rather than jumping into electives that maybe not have the full class size. And I don't mean to get off track for the meeting, but I appreciate the forethought. It's long story short. Kind of just to follow up on that. So the IB courses would be electives and they would not count toward A through G requirements towards A to G. They would definitely the business management would be a G elective course. Okay. And our IBON would count towards their ECON credit which is a graduation requirement for them and that would also be a an Ary. Thank you. Um will this be offered
061to all grade levels or is this something specific just to the juniors and seniors? The IB courses are specific to juniors and seniors. The way that the program runs is they're offered their ID courses in 11th and 12th grade. Okay. So, can a senior who, let's say, has an open class in one of the trimesters, trimester 3, could a senior take this course and not necessarily be part of the IB program. Does that Yes. in in order to make sure we have enough students in the courses. We might have students who are taking the IB courses because they want to get a career certificate. But we might have students who are just taking the IB course just to have that IB course on their transcript. Um there's a lot of research, some of it's in
062the presentation for you, that shows that when students take more rigorous courses, both IB and AP, that it improves their chances of being successful when they get to college. Um also improves their chances of being successful in career fields as well. So we have students who take it and are not necessarily getting the additional accolade of a certificate or a diploma. Is that something that's also part of the other programs like our CTE program? Can Well, my question is, can seniors who are not getting not in the CTE pathway, can they take a course their senior year, even though it's a two-year program, if you want to get the CTE pathway certificate? It's a good question. Our CTE courses are usually two-year pathway because we have concentrator in our capstone. There is occasionally some space
063that we hold for our seniors. The way that the numbers break out is we usually provide more spaces in that concentrator class because we expect those students and we hope and try to guide those students to take the second course so that they can actually complete the pathway. Um not all students do even though we try to counsel and advise them. So it sometimes does leave some space in certain ina in certain places for students when we don't fill the concentrator entirely. It means that we have a better chance of filling our capstone classes. And that's based on our staffing and the number of sections that they actually have available. So when you really break it out for, for example, transportation tech, there's a certain number of concentrator classes that we can fit onto his
064schedule and a certain number of capstone classes that we can fit. And so we kind of are are limited within those numbers to make sure that we have enough students that go from one course to the next. But if the course is available in the kids schedule, if there's an opening, what I'm asking is um you know, how like strict are these programs and how much how can our can our kids navigate through them even if they don't participate? So for the CTE pathway, they can as well. So it's a good question. Our counselors are doing a lot of work around for your plans. And so that's a big part of the puzzle for our students in terms of understanding where something is going to fit for them. Um, we also then look at it
065from the lens like I was explaining to Mr. Christensen, we also look at it through the lens of we do try to prioritize students who have the ability to complete a CTE pathway, but that doesn't always mean that the class fills. So if the class has not filled and we have all the students who want to take the concentrator um to complete the CTE pathway, then we go, okay, we've got 10 more spaces. Seniors can come in and they can take those 10 spaces. So it's it's always a little bit of a juggle. But it definitely starts with our four-year academic plans that our counselors sit down and do with their with the students and then we start to look at kind of those other puzzle pieces of what fills, what doesn't fill entirely. Do
066we have the space then for those other students who want to jump in? But we do try to prioritize students who have the ability to complete the pathway if they want to choose to complete the pathway. Thank you. One last question just based on your comment. I think that's kind of my point is that if there's 15 kids that want to take the class in 10 open spots, those 10 students are in an elective that they don't choose to be in. No, not necessarily. So if there's 15 kids and there's 10 open spots, we would then look at the students who wanted the that may not have been the initial candidates because they were seniors like Mr. was saying, okay, senior, if we have juniors who want to complete a pathway, we do try to
067prioritize the juniors because they can take the concentrator and then the capstone. And then if we have those extra spots and we had seniors who said, "Oh, I really wanted to take that as well, but I wasn't going to fit or I wasn't going to maybe have the opportunity because the class was full, then we start looking at if we can squeeze those." Thank you. And I want to add when um students do course request, they do their primary request and then they list an alternate. So if they can't get into their primary, that's where we look at what was their alternate course and fill it in that way. And then before a student is put into a course when it's electives, um if it's not their primary or their alternate, it's the conversation of
068is this something that you would be interested in. They're not just put in there automatically. I think I think the other piece that's really important for parents also to be aware of is when we build the master schedule, we are building the schedule based on course requests and those academic plans. So those are the most critical components for us when we're building when we have those situations where it gets tight and they aren't always getting their first choice of something is usually when they've got a course request and then they change their mind at the start of the year. We've built a schedule assuming that we've reserved a space for a student in a particular class. If they pull out of that class, then it's based on well, where is their space in another class?
069And we're really strategic about looking at students wanted this class, where are the conflicts and trying to build the entire schedule around the actual needs of the students. So sometimes then in this in the once the school year has started, that's where sometimes things get sticky when they've changed their mind and then we have to find spaces for kids Thank you. Next is information item new courses IB business management standard level which I think we covered as well. Okay. Now we have student services action item student discipline case number 05F2425. Can I get a motion? I'll move that the board approve the student discipline case number 05 F2425 as presented. and I'll second. Thank you.

What what um low voltage maintenance technician? I read the the job description on here, but it's updated. We already have this position created. Is this a change of personnel? uh change of of uh salary or cost. We created this position two years ago. We have flown the vacancy for two years on various platforms, not just the education ones, and we haven't had anybody apply. So, we met with the union. We further researched um the the information. When we first wrote the job description, it was um SEIU that requested that it require I think it's a C7 certification, C7 certification. Um we feel that
077that's what's keeping people from applying. So we've removed that certification from the job description. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? Student board reps are absent. Mr. Kalamp I Mr. Christensen. Hi, Mr. Haskell absent. Mr. Jones, hi. And Mr. Rodarte, I consent agenda. All matters listed under the consent agenda considered by the board of trustees to be routine and will 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 specific items to be discussed or deleted from the consent agenda. I'll move that the board approve the consent agenda as presented. and I'll second. Thank you. I do have I do have a question. Sorry for the consent agenda. Um I was reading through them.
078The uh number six and Elsa maybe you can help with understanding the the variable team English learner. This is at Ivy. Is that correct? All right. Variable term CCSD English learner waiver. Yes. So, um, Mr. Joseph Mahia is the new teacher that we hired for the business pathway at Ivy, which is why we are now just asking for the English learner waiver. He doesn't currently hold that um certification, but he will be in the process of obtaining it. Okay. This was uh Did we fly this? Yes. Like September, October? Um yes, it was early on. Um was this given to the the because he was an outside teacher, right? He was was any preference given based on our the current teachers contract to have Yes. So, anytime that we post a position, whether it be
079um a certificated position or a classified position, it is first flown inhouse before it goes out to the public. And we didn't have any in-house. We did not. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Just to clarify, how long is the hold for? Is it for a year? I believe it's for a year and then depending on how much progress he's made, we can ask for another um extension. Thank you. Any other comments, questions? Mr. Kampia votes I. Mr. Christensen. Uh I Mr. Haskell absent. Mr. Jones I. And Mr. Rodarte I. 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. Do we have any uh
080something I was curious about? There's been a lot of activity on campus lately. Do we have any um foresee need or can we look at increasing the amount of security that's on campus? I know we've talked about SRO, but increasing security on a day-to-day basis, whether that's an an added position. I know financially that there's a cost associated, but sounds like there's a lot of activity on the on the campus uh in general. Um whether it's locker rooms or um you know, just the hallways between classes, but um increasing the amount of security or patrolling or anything like that that can be done to monitor a little closer. Yes, we can always look at increasing um the number of campus supervisors. At the same time, we would have to look at where are we going
081to cut, especially with the um financial outlook, but it is something that we can do. Kind of to piggyback, um I know there's ongoing discussions about an SR SO position being shared with Bonso. Is that something that's still being investigated? It's actually a position to be shared with um Bonsel Baytos and Falbor um elementary school district. It is something that we're continuing to pursue although the financial outlook for all of the districts is a little bit different. So some of them may not be able to participate in that agreement because of the cost. Thank you. Date and time of next meeting. The next regular meeting of the board of trustees will be held on Wednesday, May 14th at 4:30 p.m. in Bomb in Bob Burton Performing Arts Center. Ajournment. There being no further business to
082come before the board if the regular meeting of April 9th, 2025 was adjourned at 6:48 by Oser Karolia. Thank you.
