Good evening, President O'Neal, Florida of Trustees, Superintendent Matsuda, Executive Cabinet, students, families, and members of our school community joining us both in person and online. We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the class of
0092025. We are incredibly proud of all their accomplishments and the legacy that they are leaving behind. In celebration of their journey, our seniors participated in nostalgic and meaningful grads to the junior high and elementary schools they once attended. An inspiring tradition that cons past, present, and the future. at Western High School. They are preparing for the exciting transitions this summer as they continue their transformations into the 7th to 12th grade campus. Major facility upgrades are underway, including a new main school entry, remodeled restrooms, upgraded classrooms, and the addition of a brand new wellness center. These improvements will welcome their incoming seventh and eighth grade students and staff with a revitalized learning environment. At Walker Junior High, we were honored to welcome representatives from C-SPAN in the local government who visited our campus to recognize three
010of our seventh grade students. These students earned honorable mention, the only ones in the nation for the student cam competition with their compelling documentary on artificial food dyes. It was definitely a proud moment for our school and our district. Our students remain engaged even during the summer months. Many are participating in summer programs and internships that provide valuable work-based learning and career exploration opportunities. We also want to wish the best of luck to five outstanding AUHSD students who will be representing the city of Anaheim in the sister cities exchange with Mito Japan. These students attend Anaheim, Cypress, and Savannah High School. They will be immersed in Japanese culture while staying with host families, building global connections and lifelong memories. Summer school is underway across the district and our students are thriving through AIM where they
011are interning across Orange County in a variety of industries. Also this summer, our student ambassadors participated in a week-long professional development workshop where they were immersed in district initiatives, learning about our school communities, leadership skills, the power of student voice with purpose, organizational change, and a book study on unreasonable hospitality. They also represented our students at the AUHSD colloquium, sharing their experiences as a student in our district and especially enjoyed keynote speaker Helen Imrino Yang's presentation on the science behind transcendent thinking. As always, we want to thank you for your continued support of our students and schools. Thank you. Thank you. Anybody [Music] in here this evening from PTA PTSA? No. Okay. Uh, next is public comments on open session items. We have one person w wishing to speak and that is Ron Flores. Good
012evening. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I want to start off by saying this. You guys are so lucky that this board is so different than what's going on in Santa Ana because I go to their board meetings. You guys are doing a great job. I went to the graduation ceremony at my school western. It was awesome. It was well organized. And I I want to give some kudos to some people that I think were responsible. Ellison Conrad, Adam Hernandez, Lorena Stout, and assistant principal Matthew Griffin. You guys, I mean, really, I I go to a lot of events. I'm involved in many things. It was smooth. It was so smooth. I couldn't believe it. So, thank you so much. And those of you that were there, I saw some of you
013out there in the heat walking. I said, "Wow, you must have done something wrong to be out there walking in that heat just sitting out there." I said, "Wow, it was hot." Anyway, down to business here. Uh, I'm here, as you know, to represent Western High School and 20,000 alumni. We're really getting involved in school. We have some things that are going to be happening and we have been spending a lot of time researching for the last two months grades. And I want to share something with you that we found out. I I went all the way down to the feeder schools, the elementary schools defeat Orange View, and then from Orange View to Western, and I compared the grades on the California student uh dashboard. And I'm going to give you a little diagram
014with my hands here. When the kids are in elementary school in that area, their grades are this much above the standard. When they go to Orange View, 120 points less. on the average. And then when they go to Western, it goes up around nine points. So, I'm seeing a pattern. I wonder if it's the same in all the other schools. And then because I coach kids when I was a lot younger, I saw something that could be connected to this. When the kids play little league baseball and football, everybody comes and watches them. And as they progress into the majors, into the ponies, less and less people show up. So I think something like that might be happening at the schools. At the elementary level, the parents are involved, but as the kids grow older
015and they're tied to their telephones, I heard the other day 70% of their time is on that thing. So I think something like that needs to be looked at. We're going to look at it further, but I'm going to summarize this again. They're this much above the standard. When they get to Orange View, they leave Orange View, they're down here 100 some point swing. And then when they go to Western, they only move up nine. And I'm talking about in generalities here. I think that's something that needs to be looked at. Something's happening. And then lastly, I want to talk about Western. I never come here and ask anything for Western except today. this money you have. If you have any change left over, think of refurbishing the forum at Western High School. It's been
01645 years since it was touched. I think it would be a good investment to put some money into that, especially with the things we got planned for Western. It would be really great to have our final event that we're that we're going to talk about at that auditorium and announce that it's going to be refurbished. I think it's really important because that's a central point of the campus. And then also, Mrs. Nin, don't forget to put me on the mailing list when the Measure K meetings start happening. I want to make sure that we're there to represent. Once again, thank you all. You're you're doing a great job. If you don't believe me, go online and look at the Saniana school board. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next is number nine, superintendent and
017staff report. Mr. Mansuda, I have no report. I have a few things. Uh first of all, good evening everyone. Uh first thing I want to mention uh kind of in I know I heard our friend Ron Flores just talk about the like the cell phones. Uh Ron, I don't know if you're aware and the board's aware, the board recently passed a cell phone policy for our district. So next school year at the start of the school year we it's going to be implemented districtwide where at the junior highs the cell phones will be off and put away from the start moment they walk on campus to the moment they leave. The high schools there's a little more flexibility where they're they're off during the classroom experience um but they are on during passing period or
018they could be on during class period passing periods and at lunch. But the idea to your point we have seen steadily increase in screen time over the course of the last few years and when framing this with our parents and with our students as we rolled out this policy we have a lot of support in making this change next year. So, I'm happy to say, Ron, we will have a cell phone policy that will hopefully address the concerns that I know he he's always checking on me, but to make sure that that that's being addressed. Second thing I I want to mention is um I'm really proud to mention that we were the first public school in the country to partner with Google to do the Google certificates and that was a few years ago
019and now we have crossed the threshold where we had over a thousand students earn Google certificates in our classrooms and that's pretty remarkable. And for those who don't know, Google certificate is the equivalent of like a bachelor's degree from a four-year institution. And so we have students who are earning these Google Google certificates in their classrooms in embedded into their English classes, maybe their yearbooks classes, uh um in others where they're earning I'm sorry. Oh, and statistics classes. Yes. Where they're earning the certificates, which is quite quite the feat. I want to give a lot a huge shout out obviously to our teachers who have done the work to integrate the certificate and the work into their classroom and into their curriculum because we're not sacrificing our curriculum. we're just enhancing it through the activities
020they do to earn that certificate. And I also want to give Amanda Bean, I don't know if she's in here right now, but her her a big shout out um because it's her leadership that helps work with the teachers and Google to make that happen. So, I want to share that update. And then lastly, I want to share um on Monday uh at 5:00 p.m. we're going to be hosting a Zoom virtual town hall with our community. All of our parents, families, caregivers, and in community are invited to attend. It is a know your rights forum. with things um percolating in in our community, uh we want to make sure that our parents, again, we revisit and inform them so they can know their rights and be equipped to protect themselves should they find themselves
021in a situation that um is troubling. And and again, students are also welcome to attend. And we did do a training with our summer school principles uh this this morning to again re remind them of the protocols and expectations we have of the board policy regarding immigration enforcement and the protocols that are expected to be followed should someone come to the school. Um, and then we also gave them access to a number of resources that they have before them. So, if parents or students are wanting to know more information, they can certainly go to their summer school principal to get that information. They're also going to make sure to share that with their respective staff. That's my report. Dr. Freed, is that um link on our website? Yes. Thank you. Thank you, board presidential. Yes,
022the link is on our website. So, if you go to our district website, there's a link that has the the immigration um resources. And if you click that, everything is there, including the preparedness safety plan for our families, which gives them lots of guidance and advice on what to do to protect themselves, for example, the affidavit or the um updating their contact lists or emerging contact list at the school and having a contingency plan. God forbid something should happen. So all that is there and it's in multiple languages so our families have access to that information so they can again equip themselves with the things they may need to do to make sure that they're safe. Thank you. What time was that again? 5:00 pm. Uh and it's on it's a virtual and it's on
023I believe it's on our website with that and a big mass communication went out to all of our families, parents and our staff uh regarding that town hall. No report. No report. So, um I wanted to um announce that we did sell our first bond series u from measure K. So, we sold uh $180 million due to our upgrade in our credit rating. We went from a double A2 to double A1, which is not many districts in the state of California has that credit rating. So, very excited about that. We uh approximately save taxpayer about $3 million just with that savings of the upgrade. So, very excited about that. And that means we will now be receiving money in about two weeks um so that we can get our project started. So we do have
024to start paying some you know design fees and stuff like that. And the first project that uh we are currently working on is the handle stadium. So we're very excited about that project and as well as some of the fields as we all know that we have three schools currently have the artificial turf. Uh the rest of schools are waiting and so that will be first the first first set of projects that we'll be delivering as well. That $3 million savings is because the lower interest rate. Correct. So because of our credit rating, we receive extremely competitive rates. So our rate that we did receive is about 4.55%. The high was actually 49% or so. So that's extremely low given the current market condition that we are seeing. So for a taxpayer to receive such
025a a uh attractive rate um is extremely good for for them as well. And so we do appreciate the community supporting um our bond and we are excited to get things going. Thank you. Thank you. No, no, no report. Okay, thank you. All right, moving on to ed uh educational services 10.1, the adoption of local control and accountability plan L cap and second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Yes. Um well, first of all, I want to recognize Dr. Sema Sadu for her work and also Mr. Robert Salvar and all the people who led those committees. It was a huge task and I just want to thank thank them for their leadership. One of the concerns I have while reading through this LCAP summary was the number of surveys that we used.
026There's approximately 27,000 students and we got back 12,749. Um, so that's really good. So, I'm just saying uh I'm just thinking that and then the parent the parent participation and then the 17 from our community. Those are just the surveys. As far as the the um number of participants, we had 78 parents consistently there and 83 students and then classified certificated 105 and community nine. I'm just thinking with all of the parent engagement and support things that we have, if we could be a little bit more maybe intentional about um using those positions to help get more involvement and possibly even consider for the student surveys to include that in in their summits with RSVP so that we can get um at least like at least you know maybe uh 23,000 and make sure that
027that's part of the process. Okay. Just a point of information. So, anybody else comments? See none. All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. 40. Thank you. Resolutions 10.2 resolution number 2024/25-B23 committed fund balance general fund. So move. Second. Motion in a second. Any u comments? No. Seeing none. None. Mr. Hosshi. I. Mr. RJO. I. Miss Guerrero. I. And I vote I. 10.3. Resolution number 2024/25-B24. Adjustments to income and expenditures general fund. Resolution number 2024-25-B25. Adjustments to income and expenditures various funds and proposed budget. All funds. So moved. Second. Motion. Second. Any discussion? Seeing none. Mr. Hosshi I. Miss Rand Tjo I. Miss Gero. I. And I vote I. That's 40. 10.4. Resolution number 2024-25-B B-26. Education protection account. Slow moved. Second. Motion is second. Any discussion? Being none. Mr. Hosshi I. M. Rand Tjo.
028I. Miss Gero. I. and I vote I. 10.5 resolution number 2024-25-B27 authorization to join education technology and joint powers authority edtech JPA so moved second any questions seeing none Mr. Hosshi I miss ran Tjo I Miss Guero I and I vote I that's 40 10.6 6 resolution number 2024-25-B-28 California Uniform Public Construction Costing Act, whatever those letters mean. Resolution number 2024-25-B29 informal bidding procedures pursuant to the Uniform Public Construction Costing Act. So move. Second. Motion second. Any questions? Um, just want the public to know that we gave we gave them a lot of questions on these um on these uh resolutions, but I just wanted to um ask the public I mean ask so the public knows out loud um uh my question was if um the bids that are received that are over that
029exceed the 220 um we still have to go back and bid on those right. Correct. And so the reason is um as you all have seen costs have gone up uh significantly and this will really help us to with our some of the similar projects we just get uh we saw there's a lot of accounting involved and so there's also uh paperwork involved so that um because there there is a process and they can come and audit the process at any given time and this will definitely help us to move things a lot quicker and so as we all know there's different needs at school and there sometime there's certain kind of work that we're just not able to perform inhouse house and we try to do that if we can obviously but there are
030just certain time where we just can't and so this will definitely help us to um hopefully fac faster track some of the other um projects. So how uh long on average does it take to bid? So depending on what type like how small or how big I mean so the bigger construction it's a couple months even the smaller projects I would say uh Patty where we at like it it's like at least a month minimum yeah at least a month and so the bigger project would take two to three months because there's like the request for proposal then we have a selection process certain projects over a million dollars have to be pre pre-qualified as well um and so there's a lot of different components involved and so the bigger ones does take time but
031even the small projects so would take some time and maybe you look at something you say oh that shouldn't take too that shouldn't take too long but if it's has a bit out it's going to be minimum in a month and so um we're trying to support our schools you know the best we can and um other districts already have adopted this um type of uh way to do things called a cupka and other schools districts um and we are like so we we are we like to to do that and so we do appreciate our uh new director Maria Rafael to be able to do this. So our last district they did do this at Fullerton High School district which is neighboring district to us. Okay. Thank you for that. Um is this just
032for all new construction or any bids? Uh so any yeah any type of bid any type of bid. Thank you. And we don't actually have a lot that many new construction. Most of we ours is like refurbishing something and so uh this will cover quite a bit. And as you all know, the cost of um just even some of these work has gone up quite a bit. And so a lot of times if it come if we think it's going to come in at this price and if it goes over, we would have to reject our bids and go out for a formal bid at that point. Got it. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. Mr. Hosshi, I miss Rando. I miss I. And I vote I. Okay. Number 10.7 is a business services agreement
033Colby Technologies Inc. for quality biders. I will cucca software. So move second. Motion a second. Any discussion? Yes. And could you um explain exactly what this technology is going to be used for? Definitely. So as also part of the um the um process to do the capka that's what we call it's called a cupa um this will the software will allow us to have all the contractor be pre-approved in the system and we also negotiate the price to include that they will do all the reference checks and so instead of you know we would have to call you know three or four people or more I mean so we could possibly get more local um companies to to be part of that pool as well and so this will also help us with our other
034bigger projects as well because all the pre-qualification can also go through the software. Okay. Very good. Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you. Seeing none, all in favor say I. I. Opposed. 4 uh 10.8 school resource officers agreement city La Palma. So moved. Second. Motion a second. Any questions? Just for the Yes. Just a comment. Um just I I know that people um some folks uh in the very beginning when we started this process of of acquiring school resource officers, this isn't um something that we haven't done before, but these resource officers um get to know our kids, get to know our admin, get to know um uh you know uh really the the community. And so they're really community folks that um interact with us. uh they're not always on duty when they're interacting
035with us. They're they come to football games and you know they become part of the school uh culture and so um just wanted to make a comment about that. Thank you. And that goes for all of our schools, all of our Yeah. Oh, all in favor say I. I opposed. That's 40. Uh 10.9 award request for proposal RFP. RFP number 2025-29 food safety and sanitation program 2022 to 25. So move second. Motion second. Any discussion? Seeing none. All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. 40. 10 award of audiovisisual equipment bid. So moved. Second. Motion a second. Discussion. Meaning none. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. 4 Z 1011 increase microurchase threshold food services. So moved second motion in a second. Any discussion? Um I had a question and I don't think I I
036gave this out. I apologize ahead of time. Uh uh can you give me an example of why this threshold is is necessary? Does it mean that we can uh buy more in bulk? I mean I know that um one of the reasons is also the reason is um the cost of items have gone up significantly and so in terms of um just to get what we need uh we do need to increase that but uh Orlando director is can cost is going up. Yeah cost is I mean it's with everything too. So as Dr. Ian has mentioned, we've seen the cost of goods go up dramatically in the past few years. So, as an example, since you asked for an example of bulk, our uh equipment technician, Steve, goes out and does preventative maintenance on
037all of our equipment throughout the summer and throughout the year. So, an example of a bulk item would be gaskets or uh things that are for refrigeration. And we have, you know, 40, 50, 60, 70 refrigerators throughout the district and the elementary district. So being able to go out and buy in bulk would help us since right now we're seeing prices go up anywhere from uh 100 to 200% on certain items. I completely forgot those refrigerators are ours too, right? Oh my goodness. And I used to be married to AC tech so I know exactly how those gaskets get expensive. Oh, thank you. Any other questions? Seeing none, all in favor say I. I oppose 4. Thank you. Next. Okay. 10.12 appointment of measure K independent citizens bond oversight committee members. So second second motion
038second. Any questions? Can we uh talk about how this uh process came to be? Definitely. Definitely. Um well first of all thank you to the committee for passing measure K. So, we're extremely excited about that. Um, and since then, we are um it's a Prop 39 bond. We are required to have a citizens bond oversight committee um of at least seven people in that committee. So, we have been advertising that since we uh passed the bond. We had about I believe 15 people that apply. So, we're very excited um about um the number of participants. Um so, we actually have more people that wanted to serve on a committee than the number of seats available. So um tonight we are taking seven members um to the board for your approval and what we had uh
039done was we did have a formal application and we also had a uh interview process as well. So it was district staff as well as some um external raiders for the district as well. We have um about three um external raiders uh that um help us and so we review the applications beforehand. We asked them um about their understanding of the bond and what they would like to uh what the reason why they would like to serve and so just want to thank everyone who applied for uh the CBOC. I know it's very exciting. Um and uh we unfortunately want unable to take everybody right now. But I wanted I want us to stress that people do um drop off for different reasons. They either the time commitment or just uh the different categories that
040they're not able to serve and anymore. And so um we are super excited that these folks apply and they're stuck there right now. Um and so their term will start um the first meeting uh we're hoping in August that will be our first meeting and we're looking at between three to four meetings um each year and and so um because now the other um the H's already completely done so this will be a totally new separate uh committee that will be bringing their inner reports to the board and I assume more tours huh and more tours for our committee. Yes. So what we try to do is we always um meet at the school site and then so they can see what's going on uh with some of the construction work. So sometimes when they're
041come is just getting started, sometimes we're in between and we really want them to get a feel of what the construction is about. And so um most likely probably we'll be going to Western High School. We're doing a lot of work at Western right now and so um it's going to be gorgeous when it's all all done. So I mean even this summer they are at it right now. I mean, renovating the front of school, the bathrooms and all that still. And u once handle get going, that's going to be a little time from now, but it's going to be amazing when it's all done. But um the idea is they are also the voice of the district as well. They're going to go out and talk to people about what are different things happening
042in our district. Uh we have um an amazing committee. We're looking forward to having them serve and we are um we do want to make sure that people know that you know down the road we are going to be looking for people as well. So in the beginning everybody always wants to apply and then towards the middle we're like we need more volunteers and so we will definitely be reaching out again if we do need that. So we do want to make sure we thank everybody who did apply um for the um CBOC positions. You had mentioned earlier the word category. There's categories. So as you can see here um there is the there's two um there is a um two parent um of guardian and also so that's one category also. The second category
043is parent or guardian in also an active PTA member as well. You have a business member, you have a senior citizen member, you have a um taxpayer association person and then you have two um a large members as well. So it is just not about which category you can't you would like to serve. It's also you have to fit into a certain category as well. Your background has to fit that category. Definitely. And so we we make sure that they check all the boxes that they do qualify for. Some of the uh folks say they do qualify for multiple categories. Okay. All right. As well. So very very excited. We're very excited for this group of folks to be volunteering. So are we. Nancy, just to clarify, the interview panel consisted of who? So it's
044internal staff, myself, Patty.

Um, with as last week when we did the work around our LCAP, we talked through our local indicators about our district really doing more work and Mr. Flores, you talked about some of our our drivers, street data is a is a really important part of the work that we're engaging as
048a district. And just as a quick recap, street data is taking what we often refer to as a satellite data, the the traditional scores where we begin to interview students, families, community members to really uncover why the data is what it is. And so Shane Safir is was one of the co-authors and really creators of that that coined that phrase street data and she's going to be coming if you do approve this to be a keynote speaker at our leadership event which is next month. So we're really excited about the possibility of her speaking with our leadership teams across our school sites because last year this past school year we engaged in a community of practice led by Diana Fujimoto um Kenny Perez and Danny Wararez our our evaluation manager to to really go deeper
049in the way that we look at data. So this year our plan is to continue that work and go even further in exploring the the the the experiences of our students to inform the adults behaviors and the systems that we create to better support our students. So I'm really excited about the opportunity to work with with Shane Sapphir in this work. Thank you for that explanation. You know I just have a quick question. So do we have any reports of the street data that we've collected and how we've used that in our work? I I like to jump in. It's called the ALCAP and it's also all of the information that uh teachers are uh curating through uh soapbox speeches, all of their projects and their PTAs. That's street data. And the teachers are getting
050more and more sophisticated about responding to street data with amazing lesson plans, project-based learning, all kinds of things going on across our district. And does this does have uh sort of mental health uh applications as well as we learned from uh Mary Helen Immortino Yang, another uh expert in adolescent uh brain development. So, um, we're really excited to be one of the leading districts in the country connecting all of this from street data to addressing assets in the community and, uh, mental health and academic achievement as well as, uh, verified by our partners at the community colleges, uh, Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine. And just to quickly add to that, um, we're also, as Robert Salivar and I are doing the end of the year checkout and evaluations with our principles, many of them
051have commented on the work of the community of practice and the work with street data and that the empathy interviews and focus group interviews that they've done with uh the specific student group student groups that they want to go deeper with. Um, they're beginning to think about how they can leverage the information they got to inform the systems that they have on their campuses and the adult behaviors, right? their approach to teaching and learning, the lesson design that Superintendent Mansuda just brought up along with um the behaviors and the way that they um work with students. Right. Later, you're going to also have an item on trauma responsive uh training as well with the Bowman Group. Similarly, that's also connected to the feedback that we're getting on how we can do a better job as
052the adults and supporting our students. So, and our district is also leading in the application of artificial intelligence through scrappy to help teachers develop uh amazing lesson plans around the street data. Okay. Yeah. Thank you.

Uh I just wanted to uh point out that Colleen is uh a wellrespected um consultant but uh why are we using her for this project? So she will be you know questioning who she is but right right so yeah so we haven't been using that much contract but in the event um that we do you know or we have a huge budget over $500 million and so um you know Cameron's done a great job to overseeing that. I also I'm a very technical person as well. I review it but it's such a huge budget that is always I think it's um
055great that we have another Thursday. It's a huge budget. There's a lot of different category goals in and out and um you know in the event um that I have some family matters as well. So if I do need to take um some some time then um we would have somebody that staff can call if I do need to um be away um from the country like to travel above. But it's emergency backups would Yes. Yes. So for the next year. Yeah. But I think that's extremely humbling because not many CBOS's like that, like people looking over their work. But I I I really applaud that from you. That means that you really um you know, we're being very careful and um you you you're amazing. So, thank you for that. Well, thank you for
056um allowing us to have that support. I think it's very important. It is a huge budget. Um people do not understand. I mean, it's it's over $500 million. That's a lot of money and we want to make sure that there's nothing that we're seeing and we we do Karen does the one set, I do another set and Colleen come and just check all the stuff and we check our work as well. Um but it is quite a bit and so we come in really really close of each other's budget. So that's a good way to kind of um to check the check and balances as well. Okay. All right. All right. All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Okay. That's 40 on 11.3. How about excuse me 11.26. So move second motion a second
057conversation Mr. Who is she? Granswell. Granswell. Oh, I am was just curious on how the schools were selected for this. How many schools we are um doing and and uh again the work that is taking place and do we have any kind of reports on this? Yeah, so ground swallow has actually come to board meetings in the past to do presentations with the data they've collected. they haven't come this year but those schools were selected based on the data trends around discipline also or student suspensions conflict um and so those are the schools that were necessary selected and we've continued to use them to build capacity not just in supporting the schools with their students but also in building capacity around restorative practices with staff um you asked also about the schools that that have
058ground swell yeah so it's our it's it's South Junior High Brook Junior High Ball Junior High that have it Lexington has it uh as part-time time um because of the cost has gone up with their with their staff and because of our budget situation. We it used to be five days a week. Now we're down to two days a week. The third day is a flex day where we as a district reserve the right to move them to work with schools that maybe have a unique need. Uh for example in Catella had a situation a few years ago. We use them to support Catella work through that. Um and then it's also the bridges program uh which is a club. they have an adviser and they do a lot of work in in bridging gaps
059between different cultural, ethnic, racial groups uh creating harmony and love on the campus. I know Lena Stout's here so she works along with Dr. Hernandez with our sites and grounds. So I might add too, we're also approaching this as a training of trainers model, you know, and as we go into this year, we know there's going to be a lot of tension in our communities regarding immigration and other issues. So, it's it's really important that um we have folks on the ground uh that are trained in restorative practices. Uh we are going to be holding in school town halls to allow students a chance to express themselves and their feelings regarding uh some of the tensions out there in the community as well. So, um, we have a long long history with, uh, used to
060be the Orange County Human Relations and, uh, this is, uh, this is an important, uh, partnership to retain at this moment. I was asking that because I wanted to see if we're going to need to expand it or if we can expand it. Yeah. So for the RJ specialist that we have at sites, the district is like like the general fund out of the district is supporting that work with the exception of Lexon. They're a contributing part of their part of their funding. But with the bridges program that is sight funded the sites have made a conscious effort that we want to have that club and that program on our campus and they fund it. Okay. All in favor say I. I post 40. Next is 11.33. So move second motion a second conversation. I
061just wanted um to highlight this program and how did we uh first come about with this. So I know Eric Greenberg works closely with this uh this gentleman who runs class chat but he is a former student in our district a former student at Cypress High School. Uh he's developed this app. Um so we have been using this app but as you know we have cadence and a number of other platforms. So we're trying to figure out ways that we might integrate because as the board is also very much aware when we have a lot of the technological tools that we've been using especially during the pandemic when we had quite a few Eric and his team are always looking at ways to consolidate because of cost and so right now we're we're utilizing class
062jet but we're noticing that it has a lot of similar features or it's building the similar features that we have with our fivestar program. So, as they continue to develop, we'll have to see if if when push comes to shove, if we want to move away from star fivestar and move into class chat as they continue to grow because it's still a newer company, but but that's how they came to be. There were it's a former student in our of our district who reached out began to pilot the work I believe at Cypress and then now it's expanded to several of other of our schools. Amazing. I love that. I'm just curious, do you know what classes he took in Cypress to help him get to this point? I don't know. I just curious. Okay.
063I I I could guess, but I don't know. I don't want to give someone computer science. Okay. All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. That's 40. Okay. Last one. 11.36. So moved. Second. Motion and a second. Mr. Hosshi. I. Oh, I'm sorry. I What? I love I want to say I wanted to ask will this um like what schools or who is participating in this because the window on this says oh we have a pretty long window on this yes for the year I miss okay so Jessica Yet our curriculum specialist in science works closely with this organization they've been we've been using them for years it's open to all of our schools so she works with different schools as they recruit students who want to be a part of the program so in
064some years it may be multiple schools and other years it may be more narrow but schools across our district specifically in the science program have access to this opportunity. Yeah. But Jessette oversees this this work. Okay. Now, all in favor say I. I. Opposed. Okay. 4 Z. All right. Moving on to number 12. Board of Trustees report. Mr. Hosshi. Yes. Um, so starting on the 9th of May, I got to go to the um the AUHSD film festival, which was incredible. Got to see the creative work of our students. Uh went on the 10th to the Cypress High School choir show on Monday the 12th. Um the AXA Region 17 Awards. two of our students from Kennedy High School provided entertainment uh for that and uh they got a standard ovation by the way. Um
065the 13th I went to the Lexington Choir and Guitar Show with two soldout performances in their gym and I was sad to hear that their director Sherry Batinga is retiring this year. So, um, and, uh, so that was and then, uh, 5:13 that same night, I went over to Orange View's, um, choir concert or their spring concert and, um, it was their last show as Orange View Junior High School. So, that was kind of a sentimental moment uh, for Miss Ray, but it was great. um 5:14 outside in our patio over here. We had a csea barbecue and we filled the entire staff lounge and the patio. Um we had a great time celebrating in there. It's a great space to have those kinds of celebrations. Um Lexington Junior High band concert on the 14th.
066Miss Tjo joined me on that. Um and then um I was I happened to be the guest speaker for the ethnic studies teachers. Um ever since I went on the pilgrimage to Manzanar with Mr. um Matsuda, I found my voice and my story. So I've been able to share that um with a lot of people. And so for the especially to the teachers and um um um on the 15th, Orange County Board of Education um uh superintendent Dr. Stefan Bean uh joined a group of us and we went over to Hope School to see the work that they're doing over there. It was a great time. The that same evening I went to um Laera's Roses concert which is their final concert of the year. And then the 17th Saturday, I went to the United
067Way internship program where a bunch of our students uh got acknowledged for their internships this past semester. And um they were awarded $500 or a laptop. Um they could choose what they wanted. Guess what they chose? Um yeah, they I they really liked I think it was probably a half and half, but the opening speaker was um one of our students from Savannah High School. So that was really nice to see that. On the 19th, Mr. Salivar, Dr. free joined me to celebrate a partnership with the city of Cypress with Patty Brun's AP environmental science class and they did a thing about storm water storm water quality leader program and we partnered with the Orange County Public Works and the Hto storm water program and the Boseidon education. This is really truly a demonstration of
068um like civic engagement and us working with the city and the kids are going to be um moving their proposal forward to the city of Cyprus. So I thought that was um interesting. On the 19th um Miss Guerrero and M Rand Trey and I went and joined um Mr. Matsuda at the city of Anaheim the esports uh city of Anaheim AUHSD esports competition and um um Oxford Academy congratulations they won and so forth but we were also judges too we got to serve as judges and uh for another competition um on the 20th um I think Dr. Cisai had mentioned this um C-SPAND uh came all the way from Washington DC to um recognize a program um and it was based upon a video your message to the president of the United States. What issue
069is the most important to your community. So the kids were allowed to examine a selected topic from multiple perspectives and assess what action the president should take. And this one happened to be on food dyes. So it was interesting because they came all the way over to the the little city of La Palama. And I asked the the lady from Washington DC that represents C-SPAN, have you ever heard of La Palama? And she said no. Well, we put we La Palma put we put AUSD and La Palma on the map to um C-SPAN. So really happy about those three students. And by the way, these were seventh grade students. And um that one there was a district colloquium that I think it was mentioned and I got to participate in that and then Mr. Matsoon
070and I went later on that afternoon to the farm Mac farm community orchard. Uh they were given their tree giveaways and just to see the first day of all of our interns for the summer uh math uh program. uh they were all excited and already getting their hands dirty and ready to go. Um I want to acknowledge um Adam Hernandez for um organizing the active shooter training that we had at at CBA and Dale um real life um simulation. Uh the really cool thing was was it was really uh an exercise for the fire departments and for the police and for the CHP. So, it was interesting to see how they all came together. And I want to acknowledge Lena Stout, too, because she was there helping to organize and facilitate. When they use our
071facilities, we have to make sure everything is all ready and set to go. So, there's a lot of work before and after uh to return the schools back to their their um the way they were. Um on Wednesday, um I took a tour of the Extron facility and that was really interesting about our partnership with them and um just the gaming and just the kind of um experiments that they do and uh what a great opportunity for our students and um just in our backyard here. So, I kind of always wondered what's on on top of that ranch restaurant. And the owner of the of Extron owns the ranch restaurant. And there's an interesting story behind that, but I don't have that much more time. So um the day before yesterday and yesterday I got
072to finally participate in capturing kids hearts and we had 26 um participants from Oxford and from Cypress High School and I thought was a an excellent training and just a reminder how we need to acknowledge people, appreciate people and um you know and and just say thank Thank you. And um you know, one of the exercises we did was we had to text somebody about how much we appreciate them and so forth. And I was my friend was like, "What? What are you okay?" So anyway, because it's something that I think we need to do just a lot more of. And I think as the as we go through the summer and what we're going to appreciate um the great things that we're doing here in this district, I think it's it's a really good
073time. Um, we did, um, I think I'll let my colleagues talk about the graduations, but I do want to again acknowledge Allison Conrad, Adam Hernandez, and Lina Stout. You guys did an excellent job and most of all, you provided a memorable experience for the families. So, thank you on behalf of the board. It's fantastic. I think when I did the capturing kids cards, we had to write pencil and paper. Now they're texting. [Laughter] The olden days. I'm glad you went. That was a nice a nice thing. Um I'd actually like to acknowledge uh Deborah Sher here from Vibrant Minds. Uh thank you for being here. and former uh employee principal I mean band director from Lera. Yeah, Dr. Bill Sharter. All right. And um so you heard it was a it was our vote was
074already cast. We didn't ex we didn't uh for vibrant mind. So thank you for being here. Um all right. Um a lot of the things that you had already mentioned um did you mention the retirement tea? Oh, okay. So, you were there. Um, that's always a wonderful um uh time. It's bittersweet. Um, but I love it. Um, Brad does a great job of uh acknowledging our retirees. Bittersweet moment. They don't know what to expect. Uh but we make them all uh share um you know where they've how long they've been in the district, what they've done, and then they find it's not too not too difficult, but um a little bit of tears um you know, for for a memorable time that they've had in our district and and and we um a lot of
075the times they they didn't really um they don't really kind of fully acknowledge that it's happening. Um and so it's it's a really nice uh time to be there and acknowledge their hard work and dedication to our district. Um uh always attend my uh no crop uh board meetings and then um I had to go uh to the CAC awards after that. Um Gulpa um does a really great job of acknowledging our uh um employees uh with their awards. um the Lexington band concert. Um and I also uh was privileged to go to Hope School with uh Dr. Bean's visit. Um he was extremely impressed with um uh our Hope School and staff there. Um our classified employees of the year celebration is always a wonderful event. Um and um see um what I'd like
076to say um you know just to echo um um Mr. Hosshi's uh sentiments about all of our graduations um they were uh very wellrun. It's a major major major major event that happens every day. Um sometimes three times a day and uh it's it's a wedding every time. And so you have the flowers and you have the bridesmaids and you had the groomsmen and you have all this production that has to go on. And um I think it went so well this year. Um and um we always give notes after every uh after every performance or after every graduation and the next time it's you know all of the things are taken care of. So I really want to acknowledge um I also want to acknowledge um uh John's team and maintenance um uh and
077the crew. Um the bathrooms were sparkling um every time I went in there. Sometimes I had to slip and slide because the floors were already mopped and uh but everybody did a fantastic job. I want to really acknowledge um and the vice principles that had to put those together. Um it's an amazing amazing feat. Um I attended the esports. Um um also uh uh Trustee Guerrero and I attended our um semianual uh delegate assembly uh in Sacramento. Um and during that time uh we had um uh some things going on here. Um I guess I'll cross California, the state of California uh rallies for the we can't wait campaign. And so Trusty Guerrero and I um got an Uber and we went over to the rally to uh to participate in that. Um we met
078a couple of our uh trustee colleagues that were there as well supporting um the teachers for that rally. Um and see Oh. Uh, one of the things that, um, was new this year before Western's, uh, graduation ceremony, uh, we, um, were, um, told that the ILC has a nice celebration. Uh, before the ceremony, they invite the parents to come over. Um, and there's about a hundred students or so. Um, and so it's a really nice tradition. They invite the parents to come over and have kind of a pregraduation ceremony. And so the trustees and cabinet uh ran over to where they were and uh and were able to uh celebrate them. That was a nice treat for us. All right. And then um I attended uh one of the LCAP uh meetings as I had
079mentioned in the last year last uh meeting um and I just think that um it's just an amazing feat to get all those folks in the room and the dialoguing that goes on and and the intense dialogue, the indepth dialogue. Um it wasn't um I felt everyone um felt comfortable and understood the process. Um and I want to compliment um again everyone that put that together, Sema, Robert um and all of the participants. We know that takes a lot of time out of your um your life. Um but we know that it's probably one of the best um and as we've been told uh in the state uh processes. Um it's we're not just giving this uh folks a survey. Um we're really doing the hard work and rolling up our sleeves to really look
080at um you know all peeling back all the onion layers of of our our school district. Um you know the good, the bad, the ugly, um the great. um and we celebrate the good and we take care of uh what needs to be fixed. So I really commend um everyone here for that process. Thank you. Um and I echo some of my colleagues uh comments on some of the events attended. Uh but for my comments tonight, I wanted to reserve a moment to address uh the recent immigration enforcement activity that has taken place in Orange County and across California. These actions hurt our families. disrupt lives and go against the values of justice, dignity, and compassion that we strive to uphold in our schools and in our communities. I am a daughter and granddaughter of
081immigrants just like many of our students and families in this district. My father and grandparents came to this country seeking opportunity and a better life. To our students who also have immigrant parents or who themselves are undocumented, working every day for a brighter future, know that you are not alone. I understand the fear you face and the responsibility you carry in keeping your loved ones protected. Our families work tirelessly. They contribute deeply to our communities and they deserve to live and thrive without fear. I want to reiterate that our schools are safe p places for our students, families, and staff regardless of immigration status. We support our immigrant community. This board passed a resolution reaffirming this commitment. It ensures that no information or documentation regarding the citizenship or immigration status of students or their families
082is shared and that our schools do not cooperate with immigration enforcement activities. Over the past several months, our community schools and family engagement team has hosted several know your rights events to equip families with information they need to stay safe and informed. We've also created a dedicated section in our district website listing trusted resources such as the immigrant legal resource center chair the OC justice fund and the OC rapid response network. We are also hosting as mentioned another know your rights virtual event this Monday at 5:00 pm um and encourage everyone to please visit the AUHC website and read your ARIES messages for more information. And I just want to thank our staff, uh, this board and this district, uh, for their commitment to our immigrant community, ensuring that, um, ensuring that we are educating
083and empowering our families with the tools that they need to be safe and stay informed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, M. [Applause] Well, my colleagues here have said almost everything that I've done except for two things. Um, Miss Guerrero and I attended the Summer Language Academy open house this morning and went in some classrooms and saw what the students were doing. So, that was interesting to see. Um, and afterwards I uh went and visited that was at Savannah High School. I went and visited the Kennedy summer school and went and saw some classes there to see how they were doing. Uh, and then one thing that they that they could never do and that was I I went to the east coast into Texas and visited my grandkids in the last couple weeks. So,
084I got you on that one. So, other than that, you covered my basis. So, uh, future planning dates, uh, board meeting Thursday the 17th at 6 pm for open session. That's July 17th, if I didn't say that. Uh, anybody have any suggested agenda items? Seeing none, do we have a motion? So, move. I wanted to just acknowledge something. Before our next board meeting, we are going to have a performance um of our summer arts academy students and it's reenter everybody in the audience. And so, it's a great date night or family night. What is the name of the music? Yep. Yep. Anybody else sing? A motion. Motion to adjurnn. Second. We have a motion to second. All in favor say I. I.
