010that I will always remember and hold dear to my heart during my time at Tech Trek I've I had many Hands-On experiences and participated in various experiments that helped me learn about stem the day after all the girls arrived and got checked in we had our core classes in two Workshops the core class I took was in biology we made an ecosphere with a decomposer a producer and a consumer in class we learned about the six kingdoms of life and how certain bugs reactions to changes in their environment my workshops were designed for learning about pH levels and fossils what the pH levels workshops we tested out a variety of liquids like vinegar bleach and detergent with a substance that changed color when the liquids were acidic or alkaline for learning about fossils we got
011two learn about certain locations where they might be found at and we got to dig up our own small fossils and keep them the next workshops displayed fascinating facts and information about Plastics and lotion we got to make our own lotion and add sense to it with the help of Professionals for learning about Plastics we carefully stuck skewers into a balloon to observe how the rubber would react then we saw how much we could fit into it before it popped for the last few days we worked on projects that we plan to present to our parents on the last day and took two field trips one field trip was to the Downey Memorial Space Center and the second field trip was to a cadaver lab in Whittier through the whole experience I would proudly say
012that my favorite part was the cadaver lab although some girls in the camp seemed uncomfortable or uneasy I felt so happy and grateful for being able to have the opportunity to learn about human bodies organs and their functions one day that was really significant for me was the night we met with six women with Professional Steam careers since I met all the wonderful and incredible women at Tech Trek Camp I've been thinking about having a career in psychology Tetra Camp affected and impacted me deeply and I left the camp with more knowledge and coffee and confidence in how I wanted to build my path in life thus I have a lot of things to be expressed to the sponsors of the Tetra Camp auw California because of all the lessons I learned and the fun

020the aim program and it to say it's been outstanding is an understatement um the Disneyland Resort has proudly hosted aim students for the past few years um both in person and virtually but it's an important program it it's especially at this moment in time where it aligns perfectly with our goal of helping students prepare for that next step in life be it going off to college or entering the workforce and we we really applaud a pro applaud your leadership and vision for establishing this program that really gives students a chance to explore the real world and here to tell you a little bit more about our experience with the program and its impact is Kim chips senior manager for corporate social responsibility at Disneyland thank you thank you Larry and thank you all very much
021for allowing us to come here tonight and and tell you a little bit about our program with your amazing aim students so we as Larry mentioned we've hosted aim students three years first in 2019 we hosted three students in person you can see them up on the top left on the slide there and we really didn't know what to expect you know we knew where they were high school students they were high achieving they were motivated but they blew us away we took a slightly different approach with our program than maybe some of the other organizations we really wanted to expose these students to as many different leaders and career opportunities at the Disneyland Resort as we could and so these high school students met with 40 different leaders from different departments across the resort
022we gave them some simulated projects to work on and we were so impressed by them we came back to the district and offered 350 000 to continue the aim program and offer this opportunity to even more students fast forward to 2020 we had a little bit of an unexpected hiccup so unfortunately we were not able to participate that year but in 2021 we were so impressed that the district so quickly was able to Pivot to a virtual format that gave us the opportunity to once again host students and we decided to double our number of students we went from three to six in 2021 hosted them virtually we had no idea how that was going to go in a virtual format but they showed us they were just as motivated and driven in that virtual
023format we gave them all the same opportunities as the students had in person and once again we were extremely impressed fast forward to this past summer 2022 we decided to take on 10 students this year we were still in a virtual format but we introduced kind of a hybrid setting we did bring them in for a day and I don't want to say too much about that 2022 experience because I want you to hear from our students so first I want to introduce you to Jimmy Chi he's going to come up and tell you a little bit about his experience at the Disneyland Resort Jimmy let's go this way good evening everyone a few months ago I never would have guessed I'll be in this position to that I am grateful for the opportunities that
024were given to me the people that I've gone to learn about and the chance to meet you all for me working with a Disneyland Resort was an unforgettable experience and I will refer to it as DLR for the rest of my speech as a student who grew up aimless pressured by parents to pursue careers I had no interest in at all I signed up for aim thinking it was my way out a way to find a definitive answer on everything regarding my inevitable future ironically it only made things ever so more complicated through aim I was able to work with dlrs workforce management department I had the chance to partner with a professional in the field our land of Van Horn who gave me valuable information not only about her job but her wild Journey
025that assured me that everyone finds their place in the world at some point I had the chance to demonstrate my learning in a cohort project that proudly displayed all our team's efforts in an amazing presentation more importantly I got a chance to find out what it took to operate in a professional environment especially in communication and collaboration building relationships and a social network was a large part of the aim program and some of the people I met I still keep in touch with every peer and student had their own interests and stories with distinct backgrounds unbeknownst to me the program brought in my views from Beyond my own high school and showed me that it's not such a small world after all specifically with DLR we provided guest speakers daily who went out of the
026way to educate and provide us future and provide us advice about our futures in the end everyone I met with I achieved some sort of emotional connection with because of aim my long-term anxiety about my future has also been relieved instead of dreading the choices ahead of me I now await them in the steps Beyond the workforce management my interest in Business Administration has also grown but that isn't to say my future is set in stone I still have questions to answer and holes to fill but aim was a step in the right direction to cap this off I request that the aim program continue as a once aimless kid this opportunity needs to stand in order to support students like me students who need answers guidance and experience for the tales of later life
027I once again thank everyone for this opportunity and expect it to to extend to the next generation of students aim and Disney was a gift to me and I hope it keeps on giving foreign so impressive right so I also want you to hear from one other student Heen Trin um good evening everyone first of all I want to express my gratitude to everyone here today the people who have called me during my time at aim and the Disneyland Resort who came to the United States in 2007 I could have never imagined myself in a position to work with a globally recognized company such as Disneyland for that I'll be eternally grateful towards the aim Organization for helping kids like me get a little bit closer to our dream well that's for the people who
028have their eyes set on a dream of course me being somebody who's been torn between family influences and my personal interests this is an opportunity for me to see the big wide world and see what my personal interests actually lie now allow me to give you further insights of what we had accomplished at the Disneyland Resort our primary task was to organize and create a hypothetical event that will that would take place on the park being distributed into different departments that would all come together to formulate a developed plan I thought we got experience just a bit of what people in the real world get to do in their day-to-day life with an interest in the business field I came into the program assigned to the Department of Revenue management analytics which I will now
029refer to as rmna just for time's sake from this department I met a wonderful Mentor Ms Julia Campos who guided through me through all my anxiety and stress given me all the information I could have desired into her career as somebody who was conflicted just by Family influence like how Ireland and her current experiences in day-to-day life her teachings allowed me to effectively and efficiently manage my department for learning how to attend meetings expressing myself or to Leading the groups to get our tests done I wasn't necessarily like to be a group leader but I learned that information was necessary to complete certain tasks and that I could do it through without getting any animosity throughout the cohort this experience showed me that that people are interested in business requirements Charisma and a work ethic
030well I do possess some type of work I don't think communicating with so many different people and trying to get information from them into day-to-day life is something I have shown interest in I'm eternally grateful however because there's a potential major that I was going to pursue in college and aims saved me much time this doesn't mean that this is a career path that I did not wish to follow it's just for the meantime I would like to explore different things Amazon wonders for me in terms of building skill confidence and motivation working alongside fantastic people and expanding my social network and Horizons thank you once again for listening Jimmy Heen thank you so much for being part of our program I mean you are shining examples of the types of students that this district
031is producing and we know you're going to have very Bright Futures and please keep us in mind in the future they presented their final presentation was to about 50 different senior leaders at Disneyland and they were on Zoom but those students were so poised they were so well prepared they covered every detail of this hypothetical after dark style event that they put together that our leaders they were blown away they thought oh my goodness we need to hire these students right now they need to be our next event managers um so well done I now want to introduce a very special guest we brought with us tonight who has a few additional words so I'd like to welcome Ken pot Rock president of the Disneyland Resort to the podium [Applause] I'm not quite sure where

033was faced with as a as a young person mostly not knowing what was out there and not knowing how to be prepared for all the inevitable opportunities that might you know propose themselves to me I wish that there was a program like this when I was in high school it would have uh been unbelievably helpful it would have been incredibly uh uh supportive of how I would have navigated my life and and again I'm so thrilled that we're able to do this I'm a little jealous so I'm intimidated and I'm jealous that's two so far as you know uh we've had a long-standing relationship with the Anaheim Union High School District and one that we're very proud of and one that we're very committed to continuing let's put that one on the table we're so

061um on September 27th like I said we had the principal president breakfast um Mr Jabar and um Brian O'Neill both um attended that so thank you and matsuda and all of our cabinet were there as well um so we were really I was really glad that was this is my third year on Council but that was the first time I've been able to attend that event because we haven't been able to do it so it was really great to get all of our principals and our presidents in the same room and I know it's hard for to pull our admin away from their site so we're really grateful that they were able to join us and we'll provide breakfast for them and just kind of get to sit with them and learn how we can
062work together as a team at our sites um right now one of the programs we're running at our schools is the reflections art program um if you know me from the elementary I'm really passionate about the reflections art program so we're really hoping to increase that in the coming years we have such strong vapa programs across our district but we haven't always gotten that same participation in the reflections program so we're really hoping to kind of broaden that and reach out reach more students participating in that program but we will be having our Reflections gallery on November 17th so you'll be looking for communication on that because you guys are all welcome to attend and just see all the artwork and different um Visual and Performing Arts from across our district another upcoming event we

064parent leaders at our sites thank you foreign [Applause] all right we're now going to our oh we did the Disney presentation public comments we're going to go to public comments I'm going to go ahead and read a disclaimer here opportunities for public comments occur at the beginning of each agenda item and at this time for items not on the agenda persons wishing to address the Border trustee should complete a speaker request form available on the information table on the back of the room and submit it to the executive assistant prior to the meeting each speaker is limited to a maximum of five minutes each topic or item is limited to a total of 20 minutes board members cannot immediately respond to public comments as stated on the speaker request form we have one speaker today
065and that's Linda Martinez thank you so much for the opportunity um first of all I want to start off by thanking each one of you for all the things that you do for our children whether you are you know at the school district running the show or if you are one of our board members representing each area of our five cities my name is Linda Martinez and formerly known as Linda Lovato's for some reason lobatus never goes away so I'm standing here before you and um one of the things I wanted to bring up is um that there are some things that we need to fix within the district you know I have always been a very passionate parent I've always come before you guys I recently have established a report with Mr Jabar and
066I text him and I tell them hey man we you know we need this done we need that done and for that I thank you now for responding but I think that there's also there needs to be collaboration from the district itself you know we still see a lot of situations happening at Anaheim High School I've talked to Mr Mike matsuda about this um you know some of our children are using marijuana and they happen to go get high where I live like by the Starbucks I live right behind Anaheim high school so that's very concerning most of the times I've been told to call the Anaheim PD but that's not my heart we need to find Alternatives you know and my heart goes for the at promise kids because you know what those are
067the ones that need us most the ones that are going to college they're already you know on that Journey we already know they have those expectations so for that I need for you guys to start something to focus on those children to open more ilc programs you know within the district I know that we have some but we haven't done much since you know 10 years from now we really need those so that children can identify themselves at each School site and they don't lose their identity because it is when we're dealing with mental health you know when you pull a child let's say I'm a former colonist and if somebody were to tell me you're not a colonist anymore and you're something else it's like I lose my identity I take pride every time
068that I walk by Anaheim high school or I drive by my old high school because that's my home you know that was my home away from home so for that I would like for that and then another thing is the dates that our superintendent parent advisory committee you know we have four dates that's not enough you know Mr Michael we really need to speak to you on issues like this we really need you know it's a collaboration team effort here you know parents I noticed that they had so many questions and there wasn't much much time in those advisory meetings you know and so you know with four meetings we have one on September the 22nd uh December 6 February 7th May 18th that's not enough you know I know that you guys are working
069for our community you're working for the best interest of our children and please keep that in mind you know parents are your partners in education and we need to have that you know communication going back and forth and with that being said you know I want to give kudos to my kid because I didn't think that she would speak but I told her this is where you speak you know you get to meet all of these great people that you know make things happen in your school district and for that you know I'm I'm so blessed that my kids are here today um you know and I'm so glad that you know you guys are doing that amazing things for our children I want to give kudos to every administrator that has touched the lives
070of my children as you know I have three adult children you know and I have two that are coming up to Anaheim Union and Kayla who's right now at Sycamore so I want to give a shout out to Anna Corral John bricklett Mr Santiago Manuel colon Nancy Cortez Sonia Cortez Enrique Romero Juan Alvarez Dr Monica Valencia which is at the other District Mr echeverria at the other district and Miss shumate thank you so much and then let's not forget one thing we need counselors I know my counselor for my child is that she's going to lose it this year please think about Alternatives we really need our guidance counselors I know that they're they're only supposed to have 250 students you know and our counselors at Sycamore have more than 400 so I know about

087uh Kennedy High School and our op was very grateful they loved the facility and our colleagues said that their that our facility was really beautiful so it was really nice to kind of shine in that way too um and then of course um I am so Overjoyed that we've got to celebrate our auhsd summer grads and it was just a perfect event um to culminate um their their success um and um Joe uh congratulations it was really tough um he was telling us it's hard to kind of gather folks after they've left us and and get them back but they put on a wonderful event several students came and their families to celebrate um you know an event that is so special so special for our our graduates and um and they didn't get to
088to miss out and the student speaker reminded us just how precious this event was for him and just reminding us that it's not always the students that we think are the ones that are in need of this special event there are several reasons why our students need this event and I really hope we continue we continue this event I just wanted to show off um that I went to went through and was able to go to the Gilbert Booth ROP and they they have started an entrepreneurship um pathway and there is a student there and I'll tell about the other student his remarkable highlights but this this group were several uh young ladies and they had started several businesses I noticed a lot of them were selling like the long eyelashes and I kidded with
089them is that if I if I bought those then they'd have to give me a tutorial you know how to put them on because I haven't haven't done that in a in a long while but they were so happy and they were so enthusiastic I think this is the they had the most fun out of everybody that night but I was able to get a picture with them and they're going to come to our next ROP meeting and give a presentation of um of what they're and that's it's a I'll hold my report for what they're going to announce and what they're going to do with the proceeds that they what are you gonna do with the free sample he has another highlight so so our students are just remarkable they really are uh I
090think I mentioned already attended my gestapa meeting and um you know I really want to give um you know we say happy administrator week or a month or whatever we say but I'm really mean it from um within the depths of my soul I really appreciate all of our administrators in this room in this building on our campuses we couldn't have gotten through the last couple of years with your dedication your leadership um your extra hours away from your families and um you know we know um when you you do that I mean that's precious time taken away from the moments that you hold dear so so we know your time is is very valuable and so when you attend the PTA meetings dlac meetings lcat meetings parent advisory meetings you know that's that's in
091the evening and and it's extra um and we we really appreciate we know how dedicated you are and we thank you for that dedication um we we say we're family and you really demonstrate that each and every day so happy administrators week thank you well I don't have a lot to report I just would like to thank Dr nian for the work you do with the insurance committee it's a task that the general people in our community wouldn't even be able to understand what it takes to work through that and keep it stable which is huge and I attended the discipline committee and I always learn a lot about student Behavior and appreciate that very much and um this whole situation that occurred with Ian down in Florida and I think of so many times
092we tend to think inwardly of what we're dealing with in our community but when you think at large of what people in Florida have had to live through having lost their homes and everything that they owned and then we go over to Ukraine and it gives me a point of reference how fortunate we all are to live the way we do trying to strive to keep things as good as we can and and provide a good education and a safe community and and Mrs Martinez I really appreciated your daughter speaking up I didn't know your name was Martinez now I was born and raised in Martinez California so I has a special feeling for me and it was just a delight to hear her she's beautiful and I just wanted to say that the national
093recognition of indigenous day was so um I thought well thought out that over the years of growing up in California and traveling and seen how many of these people have been so poorly treated and just to recognize them and to give them some sort of platform to know for us to know what they have come through over many generations and I just want to say I'm grateful for the people that I work with everybody the general public has not a concept of the jobs multiple jobs that different individuals sitting up here and working in our schools a chief so I just want to say thank you we're very fortunate thank you Ms Smith Mr O'Neil sure I attended the Magnolia back to school night and uh certainly the stage is very well used the one
094that was designed and put out in the in the quad area which uh there was one thing I I talked to the principal about I challenged him really I said you need to think about next year of how you're going to get all those people that are in the back around the food area get them over to where they can see the performances by the students like it was mentioned about line dancers they were there that evening did a great job so uh Aaron I I've bugged his ear put a bug in his ear and so he's he's thinking about how I said move the tables over you know closer to the to the theater something wrap it around so he's thinking I'm sure it'll be a little different next year but they did a
095great job um and it's a good turnout too uh the Anaheim collaborative at Fullerton College I attended the the opening of that that was that was um I had not attended before uh I thought there would be more people there but I know that it's a good beginning and I know that next year um from you know a future years that um there'll be probably more people there as the word gets out about really how important it is and and it's a very positive I think event for the for the parents uh summer school graduation as was mentioned I thought that was a great event uh for the um for the kids that that didn't graduate in June or excuse me in May but did finish up their their credits and and they earned the
096right to graduate so maybe next year we're able to get the word out I don't know when we got the word out to them about uh the actual having a ceremony specifically for them that but maybe we can get it out earlier so that as they're moving through the process of getting their credits and the parents know that that they could that there will be something for them at the end of their I guess uh certification process I attended the uh the principal breakfast put on by the PTA and I'm secondary Council as Jesse said always a very nice event and uh um after that I attended the principals meeting for a while and uh it's it's always a a pleasure to be able to sit there and listen and um you sort of uh
097it's amazing to see and hear what is being presented to the principals and was it expected of our administrators and it's always an education I'm glad they're the administrators and not me College and Career Fair as Mr Ronald Trail said was just phenomenal I especially liked when you walked in the door she said and you were faced with all the schools there and you could feel not just see what you could feel the enthusiasm as you walk through and it wasn't from the students who were there but it was from the staff the principals uh all the all the presenters that were there behind the tables so it was really an amazing experience and and it was I was parking in parking lot four I almost didn't get a parking spot and then I heard
098that there were three two of the parking spots or parking lots available but I'm sure they were probably just as full as that one so you we probably need a fourth parking lot for next year um I attended the La Palma state of the city event uh Tuesday night and happy to say that financially they are in excellent shape when I was on Council we had like a 28 percent uh Reserve they have 123 percent Reserve that's probably the best in Orange County and they're very proud of it that they can I don't know what was Cyprus do you know but yeah I know but we thought it was pretty good when we were when we were about 28 when I was there in fact people are saying why are you holding your money you're
099right um I had the pleasure of uh jury duty and uh I got there and I I had someone had told me he said you know uh when you get older you don't have to go so I went there and I was listening somebody asked is there an age limit and they said nope you could be 100 years old and you're still going to be called jury duty I said oh well I'm not there yet but it was interesting I did I came that close to being uh impaneled I was on the the alternate and they had to pick two out of the six and after the judge and the the two attorneys collaborated they came back and I was one of the ones that got dismissed so I I was only there for two
100days but it's always a it's not just a pleasure I feel it's a responsibility to a duty to to do that and then I attended an Air Force officer's retirement and I hadn't been to an officer before I had been to a an Alyssa man my son my son my cousin was a chief senior chief petty officer in the Navy and I got to participate in that a few years ago but my next-door neighbor retired as a major in the Air Force so it was a very nice event and his uh I guess he'd be well it's just Superior I don't know if it was his his CEO he started from when he was in high school went up to present day without a single note I mean it was just like how did he
101do he like he grew up with the guy and he's only known him for four years so I asked him after I said how did you do that he says a lot of memory work but he did a fantastic job and this guy my neighbor cyber security and so I've talked to him over the years without over the he's been there for three years without really knowing exactly what he's doing and of course I still don't know exactly what he was doing but what was told what he was doing he was saving the world literally on a daily basis monitoring a little tremble in the in the earth and they would know what it was where it came from and what what took place to cause that I mean it was amazing satellites just you
102name it and we felt really good that we were in good hands when we heard what was going on and of course a person that took over from him I hope he's as good as he is so he was very happy full uniform jumped in his pool he came out when he had changed he came out with another uniform but he was very excited um uh uh Miss Randall Trail mentioned about administrators and I have to uh put a tag onto that fantastic what what the administrators do in this district and in all districts really but we know that that ours are are Cut Above what we have seen and and read about so kudos to all of you and thank you so much and then I have something I want to ask about it's
103not on the calendar yet or should it on the agenda but it is a calendar for next month or next year and I've already asked somebody in this room and I came back with an answer but I'm going to throw something out just to think about uh in July we have a July 13th and July 20th and I understand why the July 20th is there it's it's the leadership advance but I am looking at coming back from vacation the night of July 12th so I mean it's it's humanly possible to come to the meeting the next day but it sure be nice to have a few days in between if it could be the next Monday or Tuesday or even if it was a even that Friday anyhow just think about it something if it
104can't be done it can't be done so I just want to throw that out because in December we'll be making some decisions but so I'm giving a couple months to for the for the district to think about it it would help me out a little bit so I think that brings me to an end thank you so much all right thank you Mr O'Neill all right so uh I'll start off with uh ROP I know we had our ROP meeting yesterday but um those of you who didn't know and who served on our uh the ROP board uh Dr Jones uh he he was a former superintendent uh passed away and uh they just they closed the board meeting in his memory so we wanted to make sure that everybody who sat on the board
105I think we had a picture with Kathy Smith and Mr Jones yeah served on that board for 14 years and I don't remember a Dr Jones that is Dr Jones yeah and we actually have a picture with him and you so I know it is him and you know I'm sure he was good yeah well he was apparently a good um I mean a character right so I'm hoping that everybody remembered and they all talked about him fondly um so this uh football game season so I had attended a couple of football games for Anaheim high school and of course our um homecoming game was uh against lowera so it was a savannah so it was nice to uh actually go watch the game with their um I also attended the PTA principal meeting and
106then stopped by a little bit for the principal meeting probably about five minutes and then I have to leave um graduation our summer graduates it was a great and I I know that we're going to continue it but I Echo what Miss O'Neill said I think we need to make sure that we communicate to the students earlier on so that they will make an effort to come there uh graduation speech itself was awesome to see because it was a cancer surviving student who actually made us all remember what life is all about so that was awesome and to your comment on the graduation because I was thinking about this you know let them know in in May if they're going to be working on that so my idea is maybe they might want to buy
107their graduation outfit along with the rest of them for for when that you know summer graduation because I understand it was kind of a problem this year so maybe because they weren't they were already gone so right they were gone so that's what I'm saying so if if they're aware of it maybe at the beginning they could then have their colors and whatever so absolutely and then well I had the pleasure of um going with Carlos Hernandez and Mike matsuda and the team to actually present about our community schools program the Anaheim City council meeting I had people who actually talking about it so congratulations to us for actually presenting that to the entire city council because I know I guess it was going obviously in the loop on cable and people were watching it
108and I was having interactions regarding that throughout that week so great presentation and again congratulations to our team um Anaheim collaborative yeah the parent I think there was more parents after we left because I saw a picture uh which was with all the parents taken and it was a huge huge number you didn't seemed quite yeah and the theater was not probably because it was in the morning but towards the end you probably had more parents come by right in the morning yeah it could be yeah yeah I think we might want to take a look at that and make sure that we adjust those times because obviously we were throwing it for our parents so we wanted to make sure but it was nice to see the picture afterwards to say like all those
109parents in there so that was awesome um excuse me the food was great I didn't get to eat it I'm sorry it's terrible Gilbert High School um yeah you know I think I mentioned this probably last meeting if I didn't um went for the open house and I actually met this young gentleman who was part of the entrepreneur pathway and this gentleman had already saw a hundred thousand worth of merchandise creating his own sweatshirt so that was a awesome awesome story to actually relate to the rest of the community as well because this is Gilbert High School and we're giving opportunities for these students the interesting part was I think all of you remember we met the other gentleman who made a presentation when they made the Gilbert High School pathway there was a student
110who came in presented about his uh business about creating bookmarks so this gentleman had actually worked on his bookmark project as a marketer or was marketing on it and then now it's his turn so he created his own t-shirts and he's now thinking about I met him at the College and Career Fair and now he's thinking about making a line of products like hats and um different items and he's already thinking about putting it on Amazon and you know selling it through he sold most of his products in Mexico and now he's learning that you know he's making business decisions of how to make more profit so he wants to move the manufacturing toward to United States and do it over here but he wants to create a different line of products so that's the
111story that we really got to message to our parents and say and the community as well to talk about what we are doing in Anaheim Union High School District I was super proud and I know I even posted it on my social media and a lot of folks commented on it as well and again I was proud to attend the vocational RN graduation at Kennedy ROP board members are very happy and they were uh jealous that we had such a nice facility but it was a nice compliment no I think it's uh elvians they have it at the the the the new um it's the the uh tried in there are like yeah they closed that a long time ago I know that closed down that's why I was wondering where it was yeah so

114I would have attended but I did go to the tour of the OC Vibe and oh that's right yes yeah and uh yeah half the you know thedias was there but that was very interesting and I read in the next couple of days that the city council passed their plan so that was a really neat in you know tour and uh it was a visual tour they gave us but how they are going to be uh re doing that entire area from the Honda Center and north and where the old Phoenix Club was all the way down to the Arctic and that whole area and what they're going to do is supposed to be phenomenal phenomenal um so I I just wanted to mention that because I thought that was really neat it passed because
115it's a great idea and the City Council in Anaheim evidently agreed and so they have to go ahead and they'll start working so I just wanted to mention that thank you yeah I'd like to add on to that thank you for bringing that up too because that's going to open up a expanded partnership with the samwelly family and it's going to give our aim program and all of our Pathways huge opportunities out there so we're really really excited phase one opens in 2024. in 2024 yeah they have some ambitious plans there you know really you know in the next couple of years but it'll be great and it's going to be a great partnership with us too they've included us and we're going to be able to utilize a lot I mean some some of
116the stuff that's going to be going on there will be phenomenal and and while we're at it too I like to just also um um I I wasn't able to attend this this morning but there were six principles um and Robert salivar was out uh what the Simon Family Foundation as the board knows that we are our students uh will be receiving the first Simon scholar scholarships uh the spring of this year valued at uh twelve thousand dollars each or sixteen sixteen yeah sixteen thousand yeah and we have about 32 students that will be named is that right so that's what we need to clarify it's actually um we we were at 34 but from what I understand now we um it could be up to it could be more than that there's a total
117of 200 students across the county that will be receiving these types of scholarships and um from our six schools that are part of this program it could be 30 40 50. so we'll clarify that as of last year it was 34. uh my six schools and sixteen thousand dollar scholarship and with that there's all kinds of other resources that they had access to leadership meetings you know field trips to the east coast that are going to start back up this uh this year and just just a lot of other stuff a laptop for each student that is a recipient of this and they're identified their sophomore year and begin receiving Services uh their junior year and so so again just just a lot of mentoring opportunities and just a lot a lot of help phenomenal
