My name is Van Idahan, and I'm a student leader here at Bloom Bloomington High School. Mer Morales, Zoe Sutherland, Orasio Basuto, and Anthony Cordderero are joining me this evening, and together we want to highlight the achievements of our Brewing family. We work hard at BHS to provide inclusive, caring, and exciting events and activities. Tonight, we'll be sharing some highlights from our school for the first quarter of the 2025 to 2026 school year. We are honored to present information about our academics, athletics,
006and activities in the Breuan Country. To kick off the evening, let's start off by acknowledging our BHS academics. On July 25th, Bloomington High School's very own Link Crew and ASB leadership held their annual freshman orientation. The theme for the class of 2029 was level up. All of our leaders were welcoming and highly spirited throughout the entire event. Our new students had their first ever rally experience, participated in a campus tour, and conversed with peers and BHS students. Overall, the whole event was a blast and a memorable event for our new and bright freshman class. On August 27th, our administration kicked off the school year with the expectations assemblies for each grade, covering important topics like dress code, attendance, and also upcoming events. These assemblies helped set a positive tone and reminded everyone of our school
007motto, be responsible, have respect, and stay safe. From August 12th to August 15th, students completed the NWEA MAPS assessment, reinforcing our commitment to academic growth and excellence at Bloomington High School. I'd like to highlight our attendance site goals for the 2025 to 2026 school year at BHS. Our attendance goal is at 95%. And we've already exceeded it for two weeks in September and the beginning of October. We share weekly updates with staff, students, and families via social media and email, celebrating our Bruins dedication by encouraging students daily to arrive on time. We are turning these goals into lasting habits in the Bruin country. On August 18th, we held our academic award ceremony for the 2024 to 2025 second semester. The purpose of these ceremonies is to commend and praise our amazing students for developing and
008maintaining their consistent academic behaviors in the classroom. The ceremony was very memorable and it was loved by students and parents. We passed out certificates for perfect attendance, honoral, principal honoral aces and teachers choice. We love seeing our students excel in and out of the classroom and we will continue to celebrate them for their efforts. On August 28th, we held an annual back to school night. We provided food vendors and our amazing students put on great performances, including our band, color guard, and vocodical. Students and parents who went to this event were able to get free tickets to the football game later that night. The purpose of this event was to open up our school to parents and students for them to meet their teachers, counselors, and ask any questions that they may have. Overall, it
009was a wonderful evening that strengthened our school community and fostered a spirit of collaboration between families and educators. Now, I would like to introduce my amazing peer, Miriam, who will continue off with the academic portion of this presentation. Thank you. >> Thank you, Vine. Good evening, everyone. My name is Mirror Morales and I am the senior vice president. I'm going to continue with the topic of academics. This quarter, Lingrew held its freshman follow-ups. These sessions give the ninth graders and upcoming classmen and mentors to guide them through their first year, offering advice, academic support, and information for any upcoming events and opportunities. We also hosted our senior parent and guardian information meeting where families are invited onto campus to learn about important details for their students and their senior year, including major events, senior packages,
010and very important deadlines. Our counseling department has also been very busy organizing several university presentations. These visits allow them to meet directly with colleges representatives and gather valuable information that could prepare them for their upcoming life. On October 2nd, 2025, BHS was honored by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Rims and AVID Impact Awards for achieving the AVID revalidation as a national demonstration school. This recognition highlights our continued commitment to academic excellence and college readiness. On October 9th and 10th, our sophomores and freshmen participated in the PSAT. Our sophomores took the PSAT and the NMSQT, which serves as excellent preparation for the SAT and can qualify them for the National Mer Scholarships Program. This step reported to them to identify areas that they could improve in and continue preparing them for college. Our freshman took
011the PSHC which provides them early exposure to standardized testing and help them understand their academic strengths through the beginning of their high school journey. Additionally, over 30 students participated in the student form with Hola Murphy on September 29th, 2025. This form gave students opportunity to share ideas and feedback to s better for everyone. Overall, we are incredibly proud of how strong our first quarter has been academically and we are excited to continue building that momentum throughout the rest of school year. And now I will be handing the next section of our presentation to my classmate Zoe. Thank you. Hello and good evening. My name is Zoe Sutherland and I am the junior class secretary. Today I'll be discussing our athletics program. For our fall sports, we have cross country, football, and girls volleyball. First off,
012cross country is currently in the middle of the season with two meets to go, including league finals. The boys have moved up to fifth place, trying to move up one more spot to secure a spot in the playoffs. The varsity team has three returners, and the remainder of the team is composed of new individuals who are quickly adapting to the sport and taking on the challenge. The girls team has moved up to third place. Like the boys, the varsity girls team also has also only has three returners and the rest of the team is new. They've they have improved tremendously and are on pace to qualify for for playoffs as a team for the first time in four years. The team chemistry and team size are the biggest they've been in several years and they
013have the amazing opportunity to do something special this year. Cross country celebrated their senior night on October 1st with a poster made by ASB. We got to see the smiles on their faces and it was a memorable night. The girls volleyball season was filled with growth, teamwork, and brewing pride. Our volleyball players demonstrated outstanding dedication both on and off the court, improving their skills, communication, and game strategy throughout the year. With many girls either playing volleyball for the first time or this being their first sport ever, they certainly grew and worked hard. The team competed with heart, showed strong sportsmanship, and built a supportive bond that truly reflected our school's spirit. These girls represented Bloomington with excellence and enthusiasm. We're incredibly proud of their effort and look forward to building on this momentum next season.
014The girls were able to experience their senior night. It was a very special night for them to be supported and by everyone and to have completed a milestone in their journey. Football has had a memorable season. The team has worked hard so far and has won three games. They put a lot a lot of effort into the season and are a big family. It is so exciting to see all our Bruins in the stands cheering on and supporting our team. The boys have advanced through some difficult games and are an overall thriving team. Our August athletes of the month are Isaac Inigas from cross country, Israel RmIrez from football, Aaliyah Le from girls volleyball, and finally Kimberly Moharo from cheer. Our September athletes of the month are Yasmin Lopez and Mateo Montesa from Cross Crunchy,
015Souli Aria from girls volleyball, Karinaos from cheer, and last but not least, Dylan Brahms from football. These students are a great representation of hardworking student athletes and have given their all into the sport. I will now hand the remainder of our speech over to Arasio and Anthony who will talk about our activities in brewing country. Thank you. >> Thank you, Zoe. Good evening, members of the board. My name is Orasio Vasulto and I am the senior class president. Today, I'm excited to share with you the first part of the activities portion of our presentation. Our school year kicked off with an energetic welcome back week held on August 4th through 8th. From the very first day, we welcomed our Bruins back with a week full of engaging lunch activities and fun photo opportunities. It was
016a perfect way to set the tone for a fantastic year ahead. On August 8th, BHS celebrated Senior Sunrise, an event that our ASB students along with their friends prepared for weeks to ensure a memorable morning for our seniors. We served many pancakes, konchas, and refreshments, all accompanied by vibrant posters and photo opportunities that captured the spirit of this special day. On August 28th, we held our annual club rush, inviting every club to showcase their activities. This year's theme up adventure ways created an exciting atmosphere for our Bruins to explore new opportunities and get involved in lots of clubs. Just a week later on August 28th, our link crew organized their yearly freshman focused event called the freshman tailgate. Freshmen were invited to connect with friends, enjoy games, and experience a fun-filled environment. Here at Brewing
017Country, we always go all out for events, and our home football games are no exception. Each game is themed. This year's included camel, minions, and first responders. For our first responders night, we invited the Fontana Sheriff's Department and the Bloomington Fire Department to show our appreciation during halftime for their dedication to our community. Unfortunately, on that same day, there was an active fire nearby, so our firefighters were unable to join us in person, but we still proudly recognized and celebrated their hard work and service. This year, we also launched a new monthly tradition, movie nights. So far, ASB has hosted two nights, screening teams movie in August and Book of Life in September. These events provided a relaxed, fun setting for our Bruins to spend time with friends while supporting our campus clubs. I am
018thrilled with all the incredible experiences we have created so far, and I am proud to see the spirit and energy our students bring to each event. Now, I am pleased to welcome my classmate, Anthony Cordio, who will share the remainder of the activities portion. Thank you. Thank you, Arasio, and good evening. My name is Anthony Cordderero, and I'm the ASB president, and I'll be finishing up our presentation. To kick off the year, we held our welcome back color wars rally. Freshman wore purple, sophomores blue, juniors black, and seniors pink. The energy was incredible, and our senior class took the wins in many games. Our rallies are always something Bruins look forward to, and we love seeing every class come together to show spirit. We also celebrated Hispanic Heritage Spirit Week, a time to honor and
019embrace the culture. Each day featured themed dressed up days inspired by music, culture, and art. We also had amazing student performances that really captured the energy and the pride of our community. It was a powerful way to celebrate our diversity and the culture that connects so many of our Bruins. Next, we hosted our SOA senior fundraiser, a two-day event where students could buy buckets of water and dump on seniors. It was full of laughter and memories. It ended up being a really fun way to raise money for the senior class. From September 29th to October 3rd, we celebrated homecoming week. Each day had creative dress up themes and plenty of school spirit leading up to our whole co rally and football game. Our rallies had amazing performances, games, and tons of energy from every class.
020The theme this year was a night in Rio. The dance completely captured the carnival vibe with bright colors, lively music, and delicious food like the tacos and churros served for our Bruins. Students had a great time dancing, taking photos, and making memories with friends. We also enjoyed our festival of fairy tales, which was a huge success thanks to our theaters program, hard work, and dedication. We thank them for the amazing performances. Most recently, we celebrated Unity Day by wearing orange and taking part in activities that promoted kindness and connection on campus to fight against bullying. A local coffee and pastry shop, Mifflo Mayor, made a generous donation to our BHS wellness center in honor of Unity Day as they strongly believe in prevention of bullying and aware we are creating at BHS. Thank you for
021letting us share what's been happening in Brewing Country. We're so proud of the events we had so far and excited for what's ahead. Here's a sneak peek about our upcoming events. A new tradition is starting. We invite you all to our first ever Spookfest next Thursday, October 23rd, from 600 p.m. to 10 p.m. It is open to all our community. It is a great way for Halloween fun, including games, activities, Halloween maze, and a movie night. We invite you to sign up to host a trunk for the trunk or tree. And we hope to see you all there. Thank you, and we now open it up for any questions. [Applause] >> Uh, great job. Wonderful presentation. I'll turn it to my colleagues for questions or comments. So, board member Fuentes. >> Bruins.

So, I'm going to asked uh Dr. Brandon Day, our assistant superintendent of human resources to introduce us to our new management uh leader. >> Good evening board, board president Flores, board members, Dr. Miranda, and audience. I it's my honor and pleasure to introduce our new assistant principal at Smith Tech Elementary, Christine Steer Hessen. [Applause] >> She was taking the green mile long walk there. But um it's my honor and pleasure to share Christine has a wonderful background, a very interesting background at the same time. And so she um started her careers um in the for-profit world. She was general manager and trainer training manager for Marie Calendars. She was
030the regional manager for Marie Calendars, director of field training for Marie Calendars, director of employment and field training for Marie Calendars. Um before she started ed in education. Uh most recently she's a fifth grade teacher, fifth grade teacher at George Dunn Elementary. um and she not only is a teacher but used her background in in field training and and all the other uh things that she's done to not only support her colleagues but support all staff at at George Dunn. So very excited um when we hung up with our reference check in regards to Christine. Um the one part that uh she she didn't tell most people but she does have the secret recipe to the cornbread and the strawberry pie. So uh so I'll be visiting you. Oh, yeah. Chicken pot pie as well.
031Yeah. Um, some fun facts. Um, she is a licensed cosmetologist and still enjoys cutting hair for family members. Can I get a haircut, too? She has a fraternal twin, sister, and Irish twin. They're only 15 months apart. She loves baking sourdough bread and emphasizes the real kind with wild yeast. So, if you ever had that, it's really good and often gives it away. So, I am a growing boy. So, please give it away over here when you make it next time. And one of my favorite fun facts about Christine is she spent some time traveling and um the furthest, maybe not the furthest, but one interesting place she's traveled is to Kenya twice to help run youth camps. Um which was an unforgettable and meaningful experience for her. So once again, our new assistant principles
032for Smith Techch Elementary, Christine Steer Hess. [Applause] >> Good evening, board president Dan Flores and board members and Superintendent Dr. Miranda, colleagues and community. I want to begin by saying how truly grateful I am, excuse me, for this opportunity. I told Angela I wasn't going to cry. All right. how grateful I am for this opportunity to serve the community of Colton Joint Unified and Smith Tech Academy. To each board member who graciously graciously approved me for the role of assistant principal, thank you. And to Dr. Miranda, thank you for seeing the passion I have for students and learning and for giving me this opportunity. It's truly an honor to be a part of the Colton Joint Unified team. I also want to take a moment to thank my family. I would not be here without

And my twin sister and brother-in-law, my nieces and nephews and extended family who kept me in their prayers and asked for right doors to open. Your love and encouragement means the world to me. From my very first conversation with Dr. Cervantes, I knew that Colton was the place I wanted to be. It is a place where genuine care for people and is at the heart of sorry it is a place where genuine care for people is at the heart of the work and where true love for helping others succeed shines through. That spirit is exactly what drew me here. I am especially honored to be serving at Smith Techch Academy, a school led by the amazing Mrs. Chavez. Even
034in the short three weeks I have been on campus, I have felt so welcomed and supported by Mrs. Chavez, by her dedicated team, and by the incredible school community at Smith.

Thank you again for entrusting me with this opportunity. I'm humbled and truly excited for what's ahead. [Applause] My family's in the back.

035my presentation for this evening. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. Dade. And again, welcome, Christine. We We can tell you wear your heart on your sleeve, so you're going to be a perfect fit here at Colton Unified. So, thank you. Wonderful. >> Sour dough bread. >> That's right. And we like to eat. >> All right. Our next items on the on the agenda are public hearings. We do have two public hearing items for this evening. And so uh we'll begin with item 4.1. So I will go ahead and close the regular meeting of the Colton Unified School District Board of Ed and open item 4.1 which is Colton School Employee Association Sunshine Proposal for Colton Joint Unified School District. Uh at this time I do not have any speaker slips. Miss Vina, do you have
036any speakers? Does anybody wish to speak on item 4.1? All right, seeing none, I will go ahead and close the item. And that takes us to item 4.2. I will open item 4.2, which is Colton Joy Unified School District Sunshine for Colton School Employee Association. Um, I do not have any speaker slips for item 4.2 either, Miss Medina, do you? All right. Does anyone wish to speak or uh provide public comment item 4.2? Hearing none, I will go ahead and close item 4.2. And that concludes our public hearings for this evening. Next on the agenda is public comment. Um I do not have any public comment speaker slips. Miss Pedina. Uh anyone wish to speak uh or address the board. All right. Going going gone. Okay. We'll go ahead and close public comment for this
037evening. And that takes us to our action session items. So we have a few things going on today with action session items. So if you'll indulge me just a little bit so we can take care of this in the proper order. Um we're going to go ahead and begin. Uh we have some items for separate consideration. The first one that uh I want to pull for separate consideration is item 6.1. I do want to provide a little bit of background. Um Dr. Miranda, this is an emergency item just for the record. It's been added to the agenda or it's being requested to be added to the agenda under government code section uh regarding emergency items. Do you want to give a little bit of background so folks know what it is that we're talking about?
038>> Absolutely. So, unfortunately due to the uh rains, recent rains, uh we had a uh just a big problem at one of our buildings roof essentially collapsed. And so, uh we we need to get that fixed. And so, counter requires us to uh do a emergency resolution and then have an action item to approve that. Obviously, we need to uh cut some timelines there and but the county uh has approved that as long as the board approves the action. uh tonight uh if the board approves the action item tonight and we can proceed with repairs that are uh necessary to ensure that our uh staff are safe at the most building that Dr. Miranda uh and so there are two action items that we're going to be asked here two motions if you will. First
039one's going to be a motion to place the item on the agenda that we acknowledge there is an emergency and we need to place this item on the agenda and if that's approved then we'll take action on the actual item itself that allow uh staff to do the work that they need contract with. So uh again if you'll indulge me I do need to read read out a statement here with respect to this item for the record. Subsequent to the posting of the agenda for this meeting, a need arose for the board to take action immediately. Specifically, the adoption of resolution 2625, emergency resolution to approve entering into contracts for remediation and roof repair at 325 Hermosa Street in Colton. There is a board bylaw that addresses how to handle these types of matters. Board
040bylaw 9323.2 two reads for non-action for action and non-action items, excuse me, for action on non-aggenda items. After publicly identifying the item, the board may take action on a subject not appearing on the posted meeting agenda under any of the following conditions. When a majority of the board determines that an emergency situation exists as defined for emergency meetings pursuant to Gov code 54956.5. When twothirds of the members present or if less than twothirds of the members are present, then by unanimous vote of all members present, determine that the need to take immediate action came to the district's attention after the agenda was posted and when an item appeared on the agenda of and was continued from a meeting that occurred not more than 5 days earlier. In this case, option two applies, which is um
041uh so I will therefore entertain a motion for the board to determine that there is a need to take immediate action that came to the district's attention after the agenda was posted. So again, this motion would be to uh affirm that we do meet the criteria for the emergency item and place it on the agenda for vote. Is there a motion? >> I'll move that. >> Second. A >> motion by board member Fuentes and a second by board member Haro. Uh we do require a roll call vote for this. So, Miss Medina, >> Mr. Flores, >> yes. >> Mrs. Flores, >> yes. >> Mr. Fuentes, >> yes. >> Mrs. Haro, >> yes. >> Mrs. Mr. Ibara, >> yes. >> Mrs. Sandival, >> yes. >> Thank you. >> Wonderful. The uh motion is approved. Now we
042will take up the issue of the adoption of resolution 2625, emergency resolution to approve entering into contracts for remediation and roof repairs at 325 Hermosa. Do we have a motion to approve the resolution? >> I'll move. >> Second. >> Motion by board member Fuentes, second by board member Haro. This again is a roll call vote. So Miss Medina, >> Mr. Flores, >> yes. >> Mrs. Flores, >> yes. >> Mr. Fuentes, >> yes. >> Mrs. Haro, >> yes. Mr. Ibara, >> yes. >> Mrs. Sandival, >> yes. >> Wonderful. The resolution is approved. So, thank you for that and thank you Dr. Miranda for bringing that to uh that matter to us today. All right. The other items that we have to approve uh excuse me, pull for SEP considerations are items 6.4, 6.6, and 6.26. Are
043there any other items that board members wish to pull for separate consideration? All right. Since there are not, what we'll do is we'll go ahead and take up the balance of the agenda and then we'll come back to items 6.4, 6.6, and 6 26. So, is there a motion to approve our action session items 6 point uh 6 point what would be 6.3 through sorry 6.2 through 6.39 with the exceptions of 6.4, 6.6, and 6.26. Move >> motion by board member Bertha Flores. Is there a second? >> Second by board member Ibara. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Any abstensions? Hearing none. Is so ordered.

054I'll tell you, extremely excited. I know there's a little distraction out there, but but we are hosting our district-wide parent orientation. It's just an incredible uh event that's being planned out. Uh it's going to be dedicated honestly to honor our parents and we're going to host uh our families and empower our families at Colton High School with key updates from each division. We already have, I believe, over 285 who have signed up. And uh the morning is going to begin with uh breakfast served by and prepared by our nutrition services team. Thank you to director Casey and her team for for taking care of that. It's going to be at the Dr. Tom Rivera NPR at Colton High followed by presentation at 9:00 uh featuring executive cabinet.

055So, that's going to uh be uh a presentation for our families. I'm just excited uh because uh we get to bring our parents uh and just uh host them at one of our uh most beautiful facilities, show off our culinary building, and just uh that uh sense of belonging and inclusion. So, again, the event uh will start at 8:00 with breakfast uh with the presentation at 9:00. uh and we're going to have uh resources outside tables. Uh thank you to the departments who are uh who have signed up to provide information to our parents and this is just this the beginning uh this relationship that we are building with our our parents. So uh and then last but not least and I just love that our students mentioned attendance. It just uh makes me feel
056so good that students are coming to school especially high school. 90 over 95% of the high school is incredible achievement. Thank you to Principal Roman, her leadership. Uh and that's true though. Uh you you're engaging the students. I definitely don't remember high school being like that. So incredible. So thank you to all our high school principles and especially uh Miss Roman. So, as I noted before, September is attendance awareness uh month, and we have a campaign going uh led by student services uh department uh division rather. And Missy Kingston, we know it's important to show up to school every day on time and ready to learn. We're thrilled to share that 2,917 CJSD students from TK through 8th grade achieve perfect attendance in September. Let's give it up for that, right? Yeah, >> no absences,
057no tardies, and no early releases. So, that was an incredible accomplishment. I am so proud of the work that's happening out there. Believe we have over 12 or 14 schools already at the 95% threshold. Previous last year, we had a lot less. So, a lot of great works happening out there. Our principles are just doing amazing. Uh it does help that we are celebrating their successes with a pizza party and and ice cream pop lunch. In fact, there was one today. Uh today was one that was being held uh what school was that there too. Terrace Hills and Colton Meadow had pizza party and ice pop uh ice cream and so it doesn't get better than that. So again, uh there for elementary students, just to note, there's a drawing uh that for a uh
058for students to win a scooter and a helmet. You got to wear your helmet uh for sure. So there was a total I believe of five total winners for that in elementary and in middle school. Uh for the students that received perfect attends, I got a goodie bag and were entered into a drawing for uh some Beats Bluetooth earbuds. And uh there's one winner per middle school. So again, u we are uh also uh for high school students just uh competing for that tomorrow's leaders challenge uh which runs through the whole school year. And I I'll just say it at the end of the year they get the opportunity to win a brand new car which is incredible and thank you to Russell Dominguez for putting that together. Uh so again, congratulations to all our
059students, their dedication, and of course our leaders and our admin and parents, you know. Uh let's keep the momentum going. Uh let's get to uh 97, shall we? Okay. Thank you everybody. Have a good >> Thank you, Dr. Miranda. We appreciate that. And that's that's great news. We'd love to hear the attendance um improving. All right. Next on the agenda are board member comments. We'll begin this evening with board member Fuentes. >> Thank you, board president. just highlight a couple things that some activities that was at homecoming Colton and Grand Terrace. Uh Colton Homecoming, we had a big parade out there. It was fun. Got to decorate a couple of things. Give give away some candy. A lot of candy. There's a lot of candy. And so we had a lot of fun there that
060evening. We got to see the game and everything. So, uh Bloomington High School also had their homecoming uh football game and homecoming uh presentations. Also, we had 30 students from Bloomington High School attend the college and career day at the Sanerno government center uh sponsored by Joe Bach uh supervisor Joe Baka Jr. and uh they had a chance to learn from esteemed speakers about countywide employment opportunities, various trades and academic institutions. I was there, got the opportunity to see them. I know our CTE team was there. Dr. Mooney actually spoke to uh the students there also in the opening sessions. So it was phenomenal to have CJUSD presentation there and have uh our our directors and students there also present. So that was a fun thing also wanted to share my notes here. Uh CEP
061CEP was an phenomenal phenomenal event. Uh if you did not make it next year there's an opportunity for you to come out. Man, we had a full house. Full house. And uh we had tacos for dinner. We get had an opportunity to walk over to the culinary uh new culinary building out there at Colton High School. There was a lot of activities going on. I didn't leave there until probably close to 8:30 or so because they were still doing the drawing and there was still a good group of parents still hanging out. So that was amazing. We got to see the folkloruric dancers also dance. Uh it was an opportunity for students, parents, families and everybody to come out enjoy dinner and you know the rain didn't start till after the event. So it ended
062the rain ended sun came out for a little bit and as soon as the event was over it started to sprinkle again. So God was on our side. So that was a great event. Loved it. We had a lot of great great uh uh people there, opportunities for our students and families. And then Unity yesterday, we were on the unity bus. Uh well, I I didn't ride the bus, but uh we did go visit some schools yesterday. We had a lot of fun with the students. We were yelling and screaming and dancing and and doing the countdown. One, two, three, four, five. And what was it, Mr. Boyce? >> That's right. Okay. So, we did the countdown. So, so the kids were were having fun. It was a day for to share about unity and
063kindness to to all of our students. And I think uh it's an opportunity when we get out there and we have safety. We have law enforcement. We had Colton PD, our sheriff's department, our own safety department out there. Uh and kids get to see this. And I want to thank Colton PD because they also went out to the Bloomington area to help us escort the Unity bus out there and they were they were uh there also. And so it's an opportunity. I I think when we share this with the youngsters, the young kids, it it spreads it spreads out there where they understand that kindness and being unified or in unity is what we need to do in this world. And they had a lot of fun. They were all wearing their orange colors. I
064even got a little orange bracelet and it was it was fun. I had a lot of fun. I was dancing with the kids, doing the countdowns and all of that stuff. So, Mr. Boyce, I don't know how tired you are, but I am a little tired still. But uh that was great. We had uh our superintendent was out there. Uh some of our board members, Miss Har was there. And uh it was fun. It was so much fun. I can't wait till next year. That's all I have for this evening. Thank you again for coming out this evening. Thank you for always supporting our students, for doing what you do every day, every day. Because I know it's not an easy job, but you know something, uh, when we do it with the passion, with
065heart, and with that commitment, you will have students succeed to. And I'm going to share this real quick. I was going to end, but earlier today it I went up to Juveninal Hall up in Apple Valley. I teach two courses out there. I teach two courses to uh overall there's uh six, seven, eight, 10 students out there and they're incarcerated. They're incarcerated, 19, 18, 15, and I think 17 year olds. And we talk about uh gang circles and we talk about weapons and the bad things about those things. But there was a student today that that was there and he came out and said, "You know, Mr. Fentes, I now realize after being in juvenile hall for 10 years, for 10 years, I realize now that I need to make better decisions, that I need
066to do better, that I need to make my parents proud of who I am. It's hard to see students like that. children when they're incarcerated and they have to be incarcerated to understand that. That's why a lot of times what we do on a daily basis keeps them from being incarcerated. You are the people they see. You are the mentors they see. You are the people that touch them. And I, you know, and I always remember the the slogan that Slover has, you can't spell Sloverber without love. and all they need is a little bit of love and a little bit of attention. Have a good evening. >> Thank you, board member Fuentes. Uh board member Bertha Flores. >> Thank you. Um I had the pleasure of visiting lots lots of classrooms this week. Um
067I was at we at Cresmore with uh Dr. Peterson. We visited several classrooms. uh walked around the uh the campus, beautiful campus and uh it was just a just a beautiful day and uh kids were learning, kids were happy. They were out in the fields. I mean, it was just a a really good good feeling when uh we went into the classrooms and we saw outstanding instruction and um enthusiastic teachers. Uh, and it was just, you know, I told the principal, uh, when we walked to the parking lot, I said, you know, it's a really nice to visit a school and walk out feeling the way I was feeling because it was everything was just uh outstanding and and um, you know, and that's what that's what our kids deserve. I will say the same
068to uh to principal Zimmerman and I think she's in the back wearing her her beautiful headband. Um, and Miss Nunes Vas. And um, I also want to say, you know, all the great things that I saw at um, at Zimmerman Elementary School, starting with our TK students, looking at the dual immersion that uh, the the kids that are, you know, they're in first grade speaking Spanish and uh, responding in Spanish. She was just just made my day. Um and overall I think um I'm just so um you just makes me so proud to see what is going on in our schools on a daily basis. Not just because we were there, but it's just you know what it's that's what uh students do. They're they're great um and engaged. And uh most of all, I
069just want to say thank you to our teachers. um who always implement the best strategies for our students and I'm I'm thankful and grateful for their for for their enthusiasm and love for our kids. So with that I want to say good night. Thank you. >> Thank you board member Flores. Uh board member Sandaval comment. Okay board member Ibara. >> Thank you Dan. Just want to uh mention the the CTE program, how how wonderful that program was. It was well attended. And uh one of the things that impressed me was how many parents that were there. And a lot of the parents as I was walking around, they were talking about getting flyers from this uh university or that junior college or this program for their students and they would be carrying around their bags
070and they were excited to share that with their individual students. You know, um the well Paul Lucero, Dr. Mooney, you know, you guys did an excellent job in putting that together and I saw the results as I saw, like I mentioned, all the parents were very pleased, excited to be there and the numbers of people that were there and they stayed. It was it was not warm out there. It was cold out there and uh it was just a great event. I had a chance to go through and talk to everybody. uh Cryopro was there. They had several booths. Uh talked to our young students from uh from Colton Joint Unified that were participating in all the different Cryops. And I hear parents talk about I didn't know they had that. I didn't know they
071had this. And that just tells me we have to do more to get that information out and we'll work on it. But uh you know what we did what that day affected a lot of ways that the parents that were there and how they thought and what opportunities were out there for their own individual children. And that's one of the things that we as a district we want to do. We want to be able to provide guidance, direction to parents, to students. Uh don't want to come and hear a student say, "I don't know what I'm going to do after high school." That's that's an option that is no longer available. We, you know, I think Cole joint unified school district with the community cabinet with the CTE, with Kry Rob, ROC, I mean, and
072others other programs. We give our students opportunities to explore and kind of feel their way through so they could make choices when they get out of high school. And that's what we want. You know, it's wonderful, you know, also because I saw Nina Taus bring her sixth graders from Kulie Ranch and that's not old, you know, that's, you know, that was great that she did that to have the young kids take a look to see what they have waiting for them. And you know uh so it would be great if you know the next year we can get more elementary schools bringing in their students and bringing them in small groups even if it's just the student representatives of that school to take a look to see what's there and uh and how much uh
073everybody has to offer. Now one of the things that I always like to do and this is for our our superintendent Dr. Miranda is that, you know, I think everyone that participated in the event uh did an excellent job and I think that we need to talking about the board and the superintendent, we need to uh somehow acknowledge and thank them for being there that day. and whether it's a letter of acknowledgement that we could all sign and send out to every participant letting them know that we truly appreciate it and we look forward to their continued participation in the years to come. I think that that would be a great touch. Um I I don't know if that's already been planned, but something that I always like to do and uh because I think
074that anybody who does anything well, they need to be recognized because then that in helps them do continue to do things well. So uh so hopefully we can do something like that for all those individual programs and and people that were out there. Yeah. Um, I was talking to a group and that just gave a presentation to uh the Coen City Council and it's a film group and Israel was there with me and they were talking about uh the type of uh ethnic films that they were making and I got really into it. They they were talking about the Buffalo Soldier. They were talking about a lot of history and that they're making continue to make video and movies and they were looking for students to participate in the movies and they said that they
075would love to have Col High School students be in these movies. So I gave him my card and he gave me his but I I said you know contact the superintendent's office. Let's see if they do. Hopefully they do and maybe because they like to do a presentation for everybody here at a board meeting, show them. And if I understood right, maybe Israel could correct me if I'm wrong. He said that they had like 64 award-winning films. >> Yeah. So it was sounded very impressive. And he said that they've been looking for a high school or a district to partner with. So something to, you know, I always like to believe it never hurts to listen. So that might be something. So that's something I got out of walking around talking to a lot of
076people there. So anyway, just wanted to share that. And uh just one more thing. Uh the homecoming con high school was really good. The parade even though we weren't sure whether we're going to get wet or thunder, you know, and uh I just take my head off to uh uh Dr. Ortiz for handling that and making sure that all the protocol was in place for the thunder and etc. and really truly appreciate it. So, uh that went a long way too. So, thank you Dan. >> Board memory bar. Uh board member Haro. >> Yeah, just a couple of things. Um, I just want to say uh kudos to uh Colton High School and um their ASB uh teacher and the students because um I felt so bad for those girls in their homecoming gowns. They
077wanted to sit in those cars and look pretty and wave at the crowd and then it you know it started to rain. But you know what? students are resilient and um they they just went with the flow and there and then after about it started it stopped for a while so that was good but they still didn't get in a car and get to be but but they did a great job and I just want to say kudos to to them for just holding their heads up and um making do with a bad situation. Um I won't talk about CEP because my colleagues already did. It was a great event. Kudos to everybody putting it on. uh all the staff, all the people who work for you and and Kenneth Oldman and everybody who was
078there that they were just it was just a great event. Um and then yesterday we were talking about uh Unity Day. Uh I did get to ride on the bus. Uh we went to Rogers, McKinley, Zimmerman, Cresmore, and Terrace View Elementary uh yesterday. And um hopefully uh Jamal has recovered. because he was quite busy. Um I think we the district needs to provide him with like a case of of Ben or one of those cuz he was out there dancing and and had those kids going. And uh I want to thank um Director Castro, your your team was there. Um matter of fact, they were on the bus with me and got to meet quite a few of them and they were just they had a blast. They really enjoyed being out there with the
079kids and seeing what was going on and and so um it just a great turnout of uh staff who showed up this year. Uh as I said, your staff and we had um um our orange who she is amazing. Okay, I mean she truly is she is like the life of the party. Okay. She was sitting in the back of the bus singing to us and just she was just phenomenal. She just kept everybody everybody was tired because we had to be at the district office at 6:30 and she was just singing and keeping us all awake. So >> she did. She really did. And schools want her to come out more. So, you know, and she was telling us how she started her job with us and everything. And yeah, we just loved her.
080She was great. And the last thing I want to talk about is uh Bloomington High School this year. Uh this is their fourth year that they've done it. Um our teacher there is Taylor Richardson. She teaches um the drama department. And uh she does what's called Festival of Fairy Tales. And if you had little ones like especially little girls, there were boys there too uh because there were princes. But um she does she first of all she writes the script for this the story. So that in itself for these high school kids that she writes the story every year and every year it's different and it's all about princesses and it's not just Disney princesses. all kinds of princesses and because Shrek is in there too with Fiona and stuff and um the kids perform
081what she writes and it's just so cool. Um they they have they have blankets set out on top of the stage where the little girls and little boys can sit and be up close to the performance and the adults are in the audience and they have crowns for the little girls with lights and it's just like a perfect little thing for little kids to do. And uh they moved it up this year. Normally it is in the springtime but they moved it up this year because for a very I'm very happy about this because uh when COVID happened a lot of our programs kind of took a dive in attendance and stuff because we had to do you know uh math remediation and everything else that we had to do. So, it was understandable, but
082a lot of programs took a really big hit. And um at Bloomington, it's our band program is a lot smaller, but it's still dynamic. Um our drama department and our choir is smaller. And so, they haven't had uh the capacity to do a musical, but this year they're going to do a musical. And this was a precursor to that. so that the kids uh from choir and from drama could see what it's like to be on stage. And the exciting part of it is let's hope it stays this way because I know things happen. Um but a lot of those kids up on stage were freshmen and and so that was really exciting to see because then the program is going to grow. So, I just want to give a give a shout shout out
083to Taylor because like I said, this is my fourth year going and every year it just gets better and better and um and I'm just amazed that she writes the words to everything and does and just comes out of her brain because it's just amazing what she does. So, I just wanted to give a shout out to her. So, but that's my my comments. Uh, and I don't have any comments tonight other than I just want to thank staff um for all your hard work on the putting all this together in the agenda and my colleagues, your patience. There was a lot of maneuvering and um a lot to go on. Uh, you know, some of these random skills you learn when you were young, you think you'll never use as an adult. You know,
084I was the Colton High School president of the Parliamentary Procedure Club way back when. So, I'm like, hey, yeah, it was right. So, there you go. So, it comes in handy. Um, that's it for today. We're going to go close uh open session. We'll go into close session. Uh, but again, thank you for everyone for being here tonight. We really appreciate the work that you do for us. All right. item 11.1. There were four student discipline items presented in close session. Is there a motion to pull the expulsion orders as presented? >> Second. >> I have a motion by board member Haro and a second by board member Fuentes. All those in favor say I. >> Any opposed? Any abstensions? Hearing none, they are upheld. For student ID numbers 1054725, 1065776, 108-5165, and 10459386. Item
08511.2 two on a motion by board member Bertha Flores and seconded by board member Fuentes and carried on a 6 vote. The board approved the personal public employee appointments as presented on the agenda. And our final readout item, item 11.3. In close session, the board took action to grant an unpaid leave of absence to employee ID number 10880. Motion by board member Fuentes, seconded by board member Sandival, and approved by board members Bertha Flores, uh, Frankie Barara, uh, Pat Haro, Bernice Sandival, Israel Fuentes, and Dan Flores. So, it was unanimous. All right, and that is all we have. So get home safe.
