And uh enjoy your retirement. Let me tell you, 7-day weekends are [Applause] wonderful. So, now we have a a recognition that is one way that we can honor our students. And this is the Laspanis Junior High historian of the year, Mr. Walsh. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening, trustees. My name is Jason Walsh. I'm a history teacher at Los Panos Junior High School. I've had the great pleasure

006this year of teaching our advanced history class. Now, at the high school, they have AP classes, and there's a lot of incentive to take the AP class. Gives you a GPA boost. Uh you potentially could pass the AP test and get some college credits. At the junior high, there is but one incentive to take the advanced history class because you want to be challenged. You want a rigorous class. You want to take the road that's less traveled by. That is all we offer. And we attract some amazing people like Mariah Aguo Gomez. We have a tradition at the junior high that the highest scoring student in that class, the advanced history class, is deemed at the end of the school year the historian of the year. Usually it involves a lot of math. I got

007to crunch numbers. It is uh separated by a fraction of a percentage point. Uh and I'm very grateful. I'm I'm there's a reason I'm not a math teacher. And Mariah made it very easy for me this year in terms of the calculations. But I'd like to take a moment and tell you a bit about Mariah. Mariah has amazing work ethic, dedication, and focus. There would frequently be times in class in which we were working on an assignment and it would be due the next day and I didn't expect students to finish that day. And Mariah would almost always come up to me after class and she would say, "I'm going to stop by later today and submit the assignment." And I would always say, "You can just turn it in tomorrow." And by the end

008of the day, Mariah would appear and she would submit the assignment a day early almost every time. Not only did she submit the assignments early, they exceeded my expectations. In fact, I didn't grade Mariah's assignments, I admired them. I was moved by them. And I mean no hyperbole, sometimes almost to tears. Mariah's kindness. There's there's a story that that highlights Mariah's kindness. Mariah was actually my student last year as well. And last year, I was doing some grocery shopping and my family loves strawberry jam. In fact, they think that there are no other jams, that no other jam can be eaten other than strawberry jam. And I was doing the grocery shopping at Walmart and I was in a hurry and I grabbed what was I thought was strawberry jam. And I got home and

009I was informed of my great and grievous error. Raspberry jam. Now what what to do? Obviously, we're not going to eat it. That would be outlandish. Uh and I'm not going to go back to Walmart. It's a 15-minute drive. Stand in line for 15 minutes to return a $4 item. That didn't make sense either. I didn't want to throw it away. But I thought we have PLC tomorrow. Great. I'll have uh a team of teachers in my classroom and they love free stuff. I'll just give one of them raspberry jam. It's perfect. So the next day at school, I don't want to forget to get rid of this dreaded raspberry jam. I have it in the center of my desk just so I rem uh am reminded to give it away during the PLC meeting.

010And it's odd, right? The teacher having a jar of jam in the middle of their desk. And in third period, Mariah's C class, one student raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Walsh, why do you have a jar of strawberry jam on your desk?" And without thinking, I immediately replied, "Oh god, I wish it was strawberry. That would solve some of my problems." And I immediately moved on with a lesson. It was an off-the- cuff remark. 29 students didn't give it another thought. I didn't give it another thought, but Mariah did. The next day at the end of class, Mariah walked up and handed me I think the most thoughtful gift I've ever received in my life, a jar of strawberry jam with a note that says, "Hopefully this takes away some of your problems." And

011we never ate that jam. This this jam lives on my desk at home and I smile every time I see it. She's incredibly kind. and she impacts our campus. She creates a positive culture at our campus. She is an example for her peers and she inspires her teachers. And I truly mean that. And and you might think, "Oh, it's easy street. You'll have a student like Mariah and it's great, but it starts to haunt you a little bit. Am I really worthy of being the teacher of a person like Mariah?" It pushed me to try to become better each and every day. I'm so grateful. In our work in the advanced history class, we read Marcus' uh Marcus Aurelius's meditations uh as some of you well know. And uh Marcus was a Roman emperor. He

012recorded life lessons that he learned and thankfully they've been preserved and we can read them today. And the point is not only that we learn about history, but we become better people. And Marcus was an unlikely person to become emperor. He he wasn't in the line of secession. In fact, Hadrien, a previous emperor, was growing old and he had no heir. And this is very concerning because the emperor dies. There's no air. Often times this led to bloodshed. So Hrien happens to go on a hunting trip, just him and Marcus, a teenage Marcus Aurelius. Just the two of them one weekend. And at the end of that hunting trip, Hrien not only thought that Marcus would be a good emperor, he thought it was absolutely critical that he become emperor. And Marcus proved Hrien right.

013When he's given absolute power, when he could do anything he wants, when he could give in to our base desires and pleasures, he chooses wisdom, empathy, kindness. He thinks of others. He puts others before himself. He's a remarkable man that we get to learn from. But trustees, I've often pondered what could Hrien have possibly seen in Marcus during that weekend that would make him so correctly certain that Marcus would change the world. I spent a lot of time thinking about that, but I'm happy to tell you trustees, I don't think about it anymore. Thanks to you, Mariah, I now know exactly what he saw. And I'm glad we don't bestow absolute power on people anymore. But if I found myself in Hrien's position, I would choose you. It's a great pleasure tonight, trustees, to recognize

014one of the most virtuous people I've ever encountered and the 2024 2025 Laspanos Junior High School historian of the year, Miss Mariah Aguo Gomez. [Applause] Congratulations. We're so proud of you. And uh Mr. Walsh, great job. Thank you for bringing and sharing her with and her achievements with us tonight. So, it's it's so nice to hear of the great things our students do. So, thank you for doing that and congratulations again. Keep up the great work. Thank [Applause] you. Uh so, excuse me. The next item on our agenda is to uh recognize one of our high school board representatives. Uh unfortunately, she could not be here with us last last month. We recognized Juliana Geron and our second one is Medina and she could not be with us tonight. So, um we will make sure

015we have a nice thank you for her and a little little gift for her and uh we want to thank her for all of the great work she did and uh giving us uh and keeping us informed of what's happening at our school. So, I thank you very much. All right. Uh, members of the public that wishes to place an item on uh a future board agenda that's within the purview of the board, you have the opportunity to do that by submitting um that u request in writing to the superintendent at least two weeks prior to a regularly scheduled board meeting. And uh it could be scheduled for that meeting or a later date. Um, if there's anybody in the audience tonight that wishes to address any item that is on our agenda, you may

016do so when that item comes up before us, just move up to the uh podium. We'll recognize you. We ask that you uh state your name. You'll have three minutes to uh state your uh comments about that agenda item. If there are multiple speakers about that uh particular agenda item, it's limited to 20 minutes for agenda item comments. If we have anybody here tonight that wishes to address the board on any item that is not on tonight's agenda, you may do so in a second by coming up to the podium um and uh again we ask you to state your name. You will have three minutes to uh share your concerns or uh comments and uh if there are multiple speakers on the same non-aggenda item, it's limited to 20 minutes. So with that, is

017there anybody here tonight that wishes to address the board on any item that is not on tonight's agenda? Good evening, board. Um, how do I even compete against my my friend and colleague Jason Walsh there? That's a hard one. Um, that's a hard one. I'm going to do my best though. Um, tonight I'm here not just as a teacher uh proud teacher of PJO High School. Uh, as you can see, we uh this is our final uh meeting with you guys tonight uh for the for the school year. Um but um one of the things I I truly believe is that uh as teachers we are we we get certain students obviously we don't get to choose our students and uh they don't choose us. I I believe in faith faith or fate you know

018that uh I I truly believe that as teachers we are meant to to be in these students lives and they're they're meant to be in our lives you know they make our lives better. So, um, but with that being said, I also want to, uh, to bring your attention, um, I don't know if you know, but, uh, we have a fantastic culinary program at our epic high school, um, run by, uh, Mr. Victor Salis, who does an amazing job. I think it's his second year. Um, recently I had the opportunity to, uh, attend with him as a chaperon, uh, at a conference called the FCCLA, a conference down in Riverside at the state convention. Um these are where uh students uh all the way from 12th grade all the way down to middle school compete

019in different uh events and culinary uh leadership. Um, I had the opportunity to be a part of the parliamentary system where a group students had to uh compete and had to run basically uh kind of like a meeting like what you run and they got judged and it was amazing to see these these these students at that level um uh compete like that and just what they were able to create, what they were able to do. Um they pretty much ran the entire convention. Um, every now and then you might see an adult up on stage, but it was completely run by basically uh teenagers. Uh, it was amazing to see. Um, I'm also a proud proud parent because uh my daughter was one of them that got to compete in the state level. Um,

020she got to compete in table setting and so um she uh she actually took second place at regionals. Um, and she wasn't too uh excited. Let me be and that's that's saying it lightly when she had to uh compete. She wasn't too she wasn't too excited. But uh she went down there, she competed and she did her very best and I'm proud to say that she came out actually uh top and uh she won first place in her state table setting which now leads me to take now at the dinner table. I'm now thinking to myself, well, if you can do that at the state level, well then what is my kitchen table looking like? Right? So, but uh I was I was very proud as a father, very proud as a teacher. Uh you

021should be proud of our culinary program at Piggo High School. They are doing fantastic things. And with that, um I hope you guys all have a fantastic summer and look forward to seeing you guys again in the fall. Thank you. That's good information. Thank you very much and congratulations to your daughter. All right. Are there any other comments on non-aggenda items tonight? All right, seeing no one come forward. Uh we'll start with our reports and first one is student representative report, but they are not here tonight. Um how about our California School employees association report? No one here for that. How about Las Teachers Association report? He's back. All right. So, tonight I'm here in uh standing in for our great uh president, Jyn Wilin, who wanted me to to give the presentation tonight. So,

022let me start off by saying uh tonight the Los Vanos Teachers Association would like to share this month's school board trustee spotlight. Um, we know your job is challenging one and on behalf of our students and teachers, we would like to humbly express our appreciation for your service to Losanos Unified School District. Tonight's spotlight is on a trustee who has served our students and Losanos community for decades. Trustee Dana Valadeo was a respected leader while employed by the district and we are so grateful that she continues to advocate for our students as a member of your board. Her presence at trainings and her visits to our current classrooms are just a few of many examples of her continued dedication. Our teachers also would like to thank her for sharing her extensive expertise and for her

023responsiveness when they have questions or concerns. Trusty Valo, please accept this certification this certificate of appreciation on behalf of all of our [Applause] members. That's it. Okay. All right. Thank you, Jeff. All right. Uh, Miss Monday, facilities maintenance report. Good evening. Good evening. This is Good evening board members, board president Pereira, Dr. Marshall, executive cabinet. I'm here to do my May 2025 facilities update. Um here this picture is you can see all the TK center buildings have been put in place. They're welded together. Um they're working on all the exteriors now. So that's a great bird's eye view of that. Um the top row of pictures here are the early education center uh the TK classrooms. Um so they're um AMS the building manufacturer is working in there. They're getting the HVAC done, the cabinetry,

024the finishes. Um, they're getting that all taken care of. Um, the bottom pictures are the MPR. Um, the one on the left is looking down to the MPR. The other two pictures are the kitchen area. It's a warming kitchen, so um that's why it's the the size it is. Um, some of the other pictures here, we have um buildings B and C, which is up in the left corner. Those are the preschool buildings. Um those are the furthest along. They have already done the um they've already completed the scratch and brown coat on those and they will be finished um doing the finish coat which is the the top the color coat on 512. Um and then buildings A and D we're working on the scratch and brown coat. Buildings E and F we're working

025on the L. Um we've also received our shade structure. So it's been delivered to the site. Um, so whenever the contractor, site contractor, it's convenient for him or works in his schedule, he's going to install that for us. And then the bottom pictures are um the site work that's going on, the curb, the gutters, they're working out in the front towards the parking lot now. And then also um the second from the bottom there on the left um is the fire lane that comes all the way down between the junior high and the TK center. So, they've formed all of those up and then we I have some um water connection there, which is exciting. Get the buildings hooked up to the water and electrical. Um so, we've completed uh all of our underground utilities.

026We're about 98% complete with that. Um as I mentioned, we're doing curbs and gutters out on B Street. They've formed up about 75% of that. They've poured poured 75% of that. Our offse off-site concrete were about 70% complete. On-site concrete, the rear fire lane, they're about 85% complete. Front parking lot 30%. Um, we delivered our electrical equipment to the site today. Um, it had been we had ordered it ourselves um because that was a long lead time item and so we couldn't wait to get the contractor on board. So, we've had it sitting in our yard for quite a long time at this point. Um, so we delivered it to the site today. um our site electrician, he's going to tie it into building A, which is the office. Once that happens, um we will

027be able to schedule with P Gen to come electrify the site. So, that's a big hurdle that we need to get through to get power there through P Gen. Um on 56, we received approval from the city of Lasanis for the water tie-in at Greenbryer Way. We are still working on the easement documentation and we'll be bringing that in the future board meeting. And then on 423 we received the approval from city of Lasanis for the traffic signal. So moving on to Volta modernization. Um this project is underway. We have completed um our abatement and our air clearance testing. We received that back on 55. So now that that is the hazardous materials are out of the way, um they're able to go in there and just actually start working. Um so here's some pictures

028of them actually have started the demo. They've got the floor removed. Um that one picture down at the bottom left is was was a bathroom. Um so they've demoed that down to the framing. Um so we're currently in the demolition fla phase. The floors, the AC, the floor ducts and floor heaters. Um that school was very old. We had really strange heating system that all came up from underneath the floor. We're abandoning all of that. Um the framing of the interior walls. Um they're going to be working on that from 514 to 527 and um by the end of the month we should be sheetrocked out and it'll um be starting to take shape. Um we are moving Volta's server room that's currently located in the classroom, room 11. We're moving that to this new

029administration office area that we've made a server room for them. And um G's team, they were there at our weekly meeting this week and getting that all coordinated so they'll make sure um the site won't lose any Wi-Fi or any um be able to operate. So, um, other projects that are going on in the district, um, Lasanis High School modernization, um, we are going to do the abatement and demolition bid package, um, this summer, um, get that going once we get that abatement completed. We'll be able to go right into the construction um, PHS Cake classroom and greenhouse um, bid award is on tonight's agenda. If that is a if that is approved, we're going to start construction as soon as possible to be have that classroom ready and complete by August 9th. Um, Mo

030restroom, we're designing, we're working on the design and construction document phase of that. We have a DSA over-the-counter appointment on June 9th. Um, if they approve that, we're going to bid that immediately. Um the only problem with that is we have some uncertifi I shouldn't say this uncertified projects at that site and so we're hoping it over- thecounter appointment they won't notice those. So so that's the plan but we're going to have to see what happens. Um we would do the heavy construction um late summer. So uh once school is in we would still have to do a little bit of construction but any heavy loud stuff would already have been completed. Um, loft and phase three. We're in the design phase with that one. LED lighting. We're currently at uh Creekide Junior High School.

031We have completed the majority of Los Banis Junior High School. There are a few um fixtures that are on back order. So once we receive those, we'll transition back um for a couple of weeks back to Lasanis Junior High. Um the FOT solar and EV charging. Um the fast chargers were commissioned today. So now, uh, transportation team should be able to use the electric buses, get used to it, so next year when they're actually using them for their routes, they'll already have some experience. So that was great. Um, and then, uh, Las Spanish Junior High School fire alarm project and the interim housing, um, bids. Both of those bids opened on 51 and I did not get those opened in time to bring them to this meeting. So, we'll probably have to have special board

032meeting to do those. I'm so sorry that's kind of small. Um, so facilities 101 today is about measure X bond oversight committee. So, um, when we have a a Proposition 9, a Proposition 39 bond measure, um, that means that you can pass that bond measure with a 55% of the vote. Um, education code section 15278 requires that an oversight committee be established as an additional accountability measure of a prop 39 bond. Education code section 15278 subdivision B. The purpose of the independent citizens oversight committee is to inform the public concerning the expenditure of the bond revenue. The board approved resolution 4218 on September 13, 2018 to establish the oversight committee. The committee shall consist of seven members and include the following community groups and applicants must meet one of the following criteria. Be active in

033a business organization representing the business community. Be active in a senior citizens organization. Be active in a bonafide taxpayers organization. Be the parent or guardian of at least one child currently enrolled in a school of the district. Be either a parent or guardian of at least one child currently enrolled in the district and as an active member in the district's parent teacher organization. The meetings are held quarterly, so four times a year. And the role of the committee is to review and oversee the expenditures for measure X or any other Prop 39 bond measure there is in the district and ensure that Measure X is being spent per the voter approved bond language. So currently um we need to recruit for this oversight committee. I have two members. We have to have seven. We can't

034vote on we can't do anything with two members. Um so we need five more. We have advert last year I advertised we annually advertised for this. Um I put it in the newspaper we pushed it out through the school sites through um I want to say peach peach parent square. Thank you. Um, and I had uh we did um on our web page we put some advertisement on there and I received one I want to say I received one application and it was from a school district employee who cannot sit on the committee. So um anything we can do to start recruiting for um for committee members is appreciated. Like I said, I'm going to start advertising again. we just need to get the word out that we need, this is an important thing to

035have for the district um to hold us accountable. And so um my goal is to start in September with a meeting. And so if maybe between now and then um with through the advertisement, through word of mouth, maybe we can get some committee members to to join us. And that is it. So comments or questions? comments questions. It looks like we might be ahead of schedule on that TK center early childhood. Are we? No. Oh, sorry. No, it looks like it. It does. It looks really great. I was just expecting maybe that we might be. We are making progress. I will say um we're expecting updated schedule on Tuesday and the hope is that we are ahead. I asked my architect like realistically is is is that what's going to happen? Okay. And so um

036I will have a better update next time, but I I think we're where we are. So thank you. Any any other questions? Thank you. Thank you very much. All right. on to uh community schools. Dr. Waiter, good evening. Hello everyone. So, um we're also here in community schools uh team. We're also very excited about the TK center being done because once they move in to their new location, um we have uh gotten approval from everyone to move into their old location. So, the community um family resource center will officially move into the um the TK center that shares the parking lot with Moano. So, we'll be over there beginning as early as we can get in. So, most likely, you know, January um or March, you know, we'll see. Um so, hopefully we'll be able

037to be in there as soon as possible. Um and we're excited about that. There'll be plenty of room. Plus, that we get to keep the frog, which is the most important thing. It's the play structure out front is the look on. So there's a play structure out front that's a frog and we'll get to keep that when we have community classes. Uh we'll be able to use that for a playground for the for the children that come along. So we're excited about that. Um but we're you know we're not waiting till then to get everything going. So our um liaison are at the school sites. They began um about three weeks ago. Uh and there have been a lot of things going on. And one of the first things that I want to talk about

038is what's up on the board. This has gone out already to the community through uh parent square and we've done um flyering at the parade for the uh the during the fair and all of our liaison have been passing this out. So, we have our summer kickoff resource fair that will be a Saturday, May 31st from noon to 6 at the Losanos Community Center. And there's going to be free food, giveaways, um free health screenings. We're also going to be addressing um you know, summer learning loss with a lot of resources that uh families can um take home with them, but also you know, plug into. Uh and so we're going to have a lot of of resources out there and it's going to be fun. So, we're really excited about hosting that um along

039with um many of the other um you know agencies that you can see on the flyer as well. Um and this in addition to um this event, we have many other things going on at the school sites and one of the things that we're going to be doing is our kinder readiness and summer literacy kits. So the um right after school gets out the uh second week of June, we are going to be giving all um incoming kinder parents a uh summer literacy and kinder readiness kit that we that the liaison are designing in conjunction with the school leadership and the kindergarten teachers. And so with their input, we are going to be putting these kits together. We are going to offer um instruction on how to use the kits and they will be multi-purpose

040as well because it's also going to be um organizational tips on you know where to keep the backpacks. So the kit is going to come in a bucket that will uh also serve as the backpack holder for the kinder when they start kindergarten. So you know giving and this is all coming from the teachers. So, the things that the teachers would really like to see happen, those instructions are going to be in writing in English and Spanish in the kit, as well as we're offering in-person class when we give the kits out. Um, and then also on Zoom because we recognize that there may be some parents who can't go or like Volulta really can't have us on campus, so we're going to do kind of a drive-thru and then a Zoom, you know, so

041we're accommodating their needs. And that's just one example of the um ways that the liaison are already connecting to the schools uh to the communities at each school. Um we're really seeing how we're able to come in and bridge the gaps between the resources that we already have in this community. Um and I wanted to share an example of that. Um because it's sometimes difficult to understand that while we have lots of resources, sometimes there's a lag between when services can be can begin. Sometimes um people don't even understand how to ask for support with um different uh needs and especially when we're talking about students themselves. Um so we at one of the high schools we had a young lady who just recently had a baby. Um, this was a situation that she didn't

042feel comfortable sharing with her family. And so when her family members found out, she was kicked out of the house and she was kicked out so quickly that she didn't take any of her own things with her. So she had no belongings. She luckily had a a fam family friend who let her stay in their house. Now, of course, we have the McKenna Vento supports, but that doesn't always happen fast enough. So, our liaison was able to get her clothes and was able to get clothes for the baby. Also, because the the uh the young lady um this is a lot to juggle, right? You know, being a new mom and all of this happening to her, she missed her medical appointment. Well, bureaucracy being at what it was, their next appointment wasn't for 60

043days. She can't wait that long. So, we were able to um with the help of the transportation because this happened soon after they got there. So, transportation got our liaison approved uh to drive. Our liaison took one of our school vans w with another employee and the two of them took the young lady down to the medical office, helped her did an emergency in-person meeting, helped her navigate that system, get her signed up for the long-term support that she needed. Um, but also just be there to help support her and help her understand that people are really there to support her. And that's what our liaison are able to do at the school site that um that we're just really um excited to be able to start doing is filling in those gaps between the

044the services and help make sure that the connections are made. Um and that young lady was now able to get the medical going and we are helping her in u making sure that she's connected to all the school supports that are there as well. So those are just that's just one example of what our liaison are able to do. Um and we're excited to be able to do more as we are looking at hiring our um social workers. So that is um out there. The job is on edjoin and we're also looking to advertise it on the social worker um network there. There are association pages for so school social workers. So we're reaching out into those areas as well so that we can attract people for the social work. So, our team is just

045getting bigger and um we'll be ready for the new location when it it it's available. So, any questions? Questions? No. Okay. Thank you so much. Good information. Thank you. All right, Dr. Marshall, your report. Okay, we're getting set up. What's up? Perfect. Move that. Okay. Thank you. All right, we're going to start my report. And that's a picture. I'm at Grasslands, our California Distinguished School. And what's going on there? They had a kickball tournament. Um Mr. um the assistant principal, his name escapes me right now, Mr. Coleman. Um he does a tournament with with the students um throughout the day. And it was interesting that they did this um tournament, the kind of a culminating activity. So I was there for the championship. They invited me and you see the picture that they took with

046the trophy and they were pretty excited. I mean, that's really uh one of the reasons at the school as far as the environment that's kind of gotten them to the point uh the place where they are now. So, I wanted to kind of highlight with that picture. Let's go with some um events recognitions from since last time. This um it's a very busy time of the year as far as staff and recognition. Uh you have school bus driver day, administrative professionals day, school lunch hero day, principal day, uh school nurses day, teacher appreciation week, and then we have our classified appreciation week coming up. So there's lots of recognition um going on. Some of our milestones, you can see that connected to our strategic plan in terms of our values. We had a reclassification sealed

047by literacy recognition ceremony at PCO High School. Uh grassland is in Westside Union. They participated in the Merced County Junior Olympics. I like the third bullet as far as Pacheco High School with the uh cast separate the cast activities because that's one way to get the kids to buy in by celebrating those results. So, that was nice to do that for the seniors. The other means of uh correction task force. They will be meeting on May 21st. That's a collaboration with LBTA. Uh school services analysis of governor's bank budget revision. That's on the same day. And uh the last bullet is a surprise. We're just talking about the early ed center and there was a grant we spearheaded. We got that check in the mail in terms of a little bit over $5 million to

048kind of offset the cost of that building. Other milestones are Pacheco High School's uh student voice and yellow students. They visited the K1 DLI classrooms at Los of LBE to read to the students. Uh it's nice to see this community come together during fair week. I mean like just like the whole community is there. It was nice to see a lot of our staff and students. Uh Creekide band, they were invited to perform at the uh grand opening. You come downtown, you see the arch. Uh Creekide junior high band was there. Speaking of our performing arts, we had our all district band extravaganza at Los Bennis High School. Uh a very pleasant surprise, our DLAC parents, they provided breakfast to all the principles on May 7th. I'm not a breakfast person, but it was delicious.

049I mean, they did a good job with that. And then the last thing, I say this every month for the last few months. I talk about the potential changes for uh federal funding the school districts. We have to monitor that closely. Uh the reason being, next slide, go to the grand totus about $16 million. If you notice, I have a absess there because that's currently $16 million. uh with the new budget it may be less but I want you to just see it's very this is when we had these discussions about the federal changes there's a dollar amount attached to those changes so I I want to just put that at the forefront all stars for the month last I talked about on my other video Kirsten Woods she was um honored in April honored

050national teaching award uh cited Lawrence he's in fourth grade at uh west side she was one took first place in the 200 meter dash at the Merced County Junior Olympics. Grasslands also had some top finishers at that same contest. Westside had three fourth grade students to place in the top seven spots in the MCE speech competition. Losers High School's boys varsity tennis team. They wrapped up the season 14 and one in other league champions. Cassidy de Barcelis was selected as the top female athlete for the Central California Conference. Uh for the Western Athletic Conference, we had Sasha C. Miller and Artur Antiano. They were our winners in that conference. And then as far as the FFA convention, we had several winners there. You had um Michelle Jacobo. She was the uh section star support staff.

051Sandra Flores was the section star and FFA star counselor. And then our own DO Brazil was the section star administrator. I want to go back to the slide. I talked about this slide last, but I did get some questions to talk about to kind of go a little bit uh detail about that. As far as deferred maintenance needs, I want to highlight that we do have to be prepared for unforeseen uh events at Bolta and Law Spanish High School because we they're in the middle of both re refreshes. And what happens whenever you have older buildings, it's easy to renovate a new building, but when you go in these old buildings that you know, you find, you know, you find things that you have to bait. So, we want to be prepared for that. We

052also talked about a portable building replacement initiative. A lot of the portals we have at some of our sites, those are not meant to be permanent structures. We have some that it's time for them to be replaced. So, as we have funding, we're going to start that cycle of replacing um some of those buildings. And then you have to have um funds for um unplanned unplanned events. The other day at the district office, they had the issue with the plumbing. So, that that we had to take had some money to take care of that. We had to call plumber out. uh some month's pictures. You can see pictures of some of the things I talked about. Uh Miss Lawrence from Westside. Uh you see the Grasslands track team, Westside tracks team, Cassidy Barcelas, the Lost

053Banders High School varsity tennis team. Uh that's a picture from the reclassification ceremony at Pacheo. Uh Miss Kirsten Woods at Henry Miller. Uh a couple residual pictures from uh the Volta A Day. That's a picture of Sasha C. Miller. the PH PHS uh FFA teams. They're at the A event uh the Mayday events. You have uh Creekide band. You see the arch in the background. And uh Miss Monday stole my Thunder. You can see the um she had better pictures of the early ed center. And then she had way better pictures of the uh both the renovations. I mean her pictures were a lot better than mine. Some upcoming events, the elementary schools have already started the open houses. Uh there's a Mother's Day event, a mariachi concert that's tomorrow night uh at the uh

054performing arts complex. I'll be going to that. Uh we have our strategic plan and launch group that's in person. We have a meeting on May 14th. Uh a DACA appreciation event. That's something I'll be hosting because the parents have been nice. They've been inviting me for all, you know, they they have their meetings on Tuesdays and that's I teach class on Tuesdays. So that's my way, this will be my way of saying thank you. we'll have dinner and just say thank you to them and and for breakfast that was real nice. Uh our school facilities articulation we're in the middle the middle of doing a master plan for all of our buildings and part of that work is putting a group together to talk about what that looks like. Right now we're working on like

055kindergarten classrooms and it's a very uh lengthy process but we have a a cross-section of people involved in that work and then we have our culminating activities graduations promotions exercises and such. So, I'm looking forward to that. And that's my report. All right. Thank you very much. All right. On to board member reports. Uh, let's start with Mr. Lee tonight. Oh. So, I attended the um April 26 district music showcase at Los High School and listened to all the choirs and bands um at all three sessions. That was very colorful and exciting to hear all the music. Um, I did enjoy all the FFA and 4H students showing their animals uh and receiving their awards. Um, and particularly all the bands that were playing in the parade on Saturday. Uh, I think we had a

056record number of bands uh in that parade. Um, and the weather was beautiful all five days. Um major shout out to all FFA and 4 adviserss and the leaders um who basically help all these students and parents um throughout the whole fair um and the parents themselves uh supporting their children. Um as Trustee Katuso said last month, it definitely takes a village to raise a child. And if you were at the fair and you saw um these students uh compete and feed and groom their animals, uh it's it's a team effort. Um so that was wonderful to see. Um I attended the Mo School Mileage Club 5K event uh at Pico High at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning on the 26th of April. Um so this is an event that's been taking place for a

057number of years to help promote wellness. Um students can walk, they can run. Um and um again it takes many teachers, staff members, uh parents to bring all this and make it happen. But um principal Zelda Diaz Harper um is the principal and that it's her campus and she coordinates this and makes sure that it happens and she's there on the track and um they set up a photo at the beginning of the event and they put all the kids in the stands and she has to make sure that they're all they're all there. Um and then she's she's there uh walking the track with the kids. This is David Barrera. he won first place for uh sixth graders. Um kids are just extremely motivated and it's so nice to see them um want to

058uh walk around and run and take care of their body. So um I am truly looking forward to uh scholarship nights uh and graduations um uh as a trustee. Graduations and scholarship nights are probably the one the most the most fun that I have um as a trustee. So, thank you for that and um I hope everybody has a great summer and that's it. Thank you. Thank you. Miss Kaduso. Um well, I had the opportunity to read at a couple of schools, but one of the schools was the first time for me to read there was at Charleston, and that was just this week, and I wanted to thank Miss Ratu and Miss Bowman for having me come into their classroom. Um, I attended the arts shows at the high school and then also at

059the art center last night and it's just, you know, I I love to tap into my artistic side. So, I just enjoy seeing what the kids create. It was just really cool. Um, I think and and the the seal of biiteracy and reclassification ceremony was absolutely beautiful. You did a great job. It was just wonderful. And um I love the DAC parent, you know, they they're just awesome. I mean, how they run everything, too. So, kudos to everybody, the entertainment, the kids, the amount of kids that we have that are reclassified and received their biiteracy seal. It's just amazing. So, thank you. And thank you to all the staff that support the kids. Um, I think a couple of things that were really fun for me was attending the Beauty and the Beast play at

060Creekide. If you didn't get an opportunity to see it, it was wonderful. They did such a great job. And the high school helped with um music and other things. So, that was great. And then the one thing um last thing was taping um Mr. Felix to the wall at LBE. So the kids got if they had good attendance, they got a piece of tape about this long and he stood up against the wall and the kids got to tape them to the wall and so we were there and so we got to tape them too. So it was really fun. But those are the things that just make my day to see the kids excited and having fun. Um because they need that break in the day, right? Not sitting in a classroom all day.

061They need that fun part for them too as well. So, and it builds it builds those relationships. So, I was really glad to be part of that. So, that's my report and I'm looking forward to graduations and scholarship nights as well. That's the highlight for us to to see that final accomplishment and the promotions from junior high to high school. So, we'll be there. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you, Mr. Casper. Uh, I do not have a report, but I am looking forward to graduation night. All right. Uh, Miss Moran, good evening everyone. I apologize for not being there. I'm actually at a work conference. So, if it sounds like I'm sick, I have major allergies as well, but I'm actually um at a work conference. Major uh kudos and shout outs to

062all our retirees. Just shows the commitment to our district. Um, I don't even want to start adding up numbers and all their years of service. So, thank you for your commitment. Um, I would be remiss if I didn't uh say how much fun I had in getting to know some of the uh fair winners and just hearing some of the stories how dedicated they are, our students with raising uh in particular a young a lady that I talked to and just got so attached to her rabbit and um it it's just amazing that we're cultivating a environment in which we're teaching our students where where our food comes from. And so to be able to go out in the world and explain that um is very unique to the Central Valley, which is one of

063the reasons that I love uh being from the Central Valley. Um and I will leave it there. Obviously enjoyed the music showcase as well. And I will see everyone at graduation and scholarship night. So thank you. All right. Thank you, Miss Smith. Good evening. Um, I was able to attend the the musical that was held at the at the high school at Los High School. I like bass guitar. The bass guitar to me was jamming. This dude is good. I ran into him at the fair. I said, "Gee, are you the bass the bass the bass guy?" He goes, "Yeah, that was me." He invited me to some of his home activities when he plays with his friends and family. Um, I think I'll take him up on that this summer. He said they kind

064of play in the garage and hang out and play. I'm just a big bass fan. What's more, what was more exciting was to see the instruments that were in use that the district purchased this year. There is a lot of instruments in use, a lot of kids. They were all so good. They all had bright shiny new instruments. They were super excited. It was a really, really nice event to see music. Music is a passion. It can soothe the soul. We all love music. Um, I'm still old R&B, but the bass is what I like. Um, at the fair, I ran into a lot of students there, too. I worked the Little Hands booth and so I got to meet a lot of little kids and big kids that came through the Little Hands fair

065um to see how tomatoes grow, to put their hands on some cotton, to put their hands on some soil, to plant some seeds. It was a really nice event. I signed my granddaughter up uh to be the worker there, but you know, as soon as we got there, she went to the rides and so grandma got stuck there, which I I I enjoyed it for four hours uh playing with the little kids and and getting them through the little hands um little hands event. I'm also excited to be looking forward to the graduations. Um it's a big year in Las Vegas when we put so many kids through graduation to see excitement on their faces and their plans for where they're going. I'm looking forward to that. I'll be at most of the schools in

066town. I'm looking forward to that. And um the last thing I'm going to do is try to catch up on some sleep because I've been doing a little traveling and I'm still really tired from uh just being uh in different time zones, but I will be back uh at the be back out at the at the graduations and all the events that's coming up. So I'll be I'll be good to go. Hope you all see that bass player out there again. That's it. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Miss Valo.

I got to again um I've done it every year since they started it. I got to be the MC and

068uh so I get to I get to see all of the performances and um what's really exciting is to see the growth in the program. Um we had a phenomenal number of students. Um in fact they had to have you know the band part of it had to have two performances because there's so many band students now. So it it was it's really great to see the program grow. Um it, you know, it's near and dear to my heart since I was a music teacher for a long time. Um so it's great to see that the program has taken off after the catastrophic effects of co that really killed our music program. So it's coming back which is really great to see. And the other thing is um in my in my spare time um

069I judge parades all over the state here and uh I got to judge uh I was one of the judges for the Mayday parade and um I will tell you our there were as Mr. Lee mentioned um it was the most bands we've ever had in the parade. Um and it was it was so nice to see um so many bands from all the schools around us. But the Lost Bandis bands were out outstanding and they did a great job. The Creek Side Junior High School band got sweepstakes for uh elementary, junior high schools um of the eight bands that were there. And the um Las Manis High School uh band got sweep stakes for high school um and also got the mayor uh trophy for the best uh the outstanding Las Vegas entry. So
