011did offer credit recovery which is what we would traditionally offer we offered an extended school year with our special ed students just you know with our special ed our students with an iep we had 548 total students take advantage of our esy 230 we're at lowers campus 148 students at savannah's campus and 170 at hope school we have 4 700 students in total take advantage of summer programs this does not count high school athletics as you know high school athletics is typically year-round that has been going on since the spring and they continued into the summer we also had enrichment activities this is something that we extended this year with the one-time funds that we received both the high schools and the junior high schools we had students come to campus just because they wanted
012to be on campus they want to connect with other students they want to connect with staff and they want to do things that were fun-spirited sometimes they were games and fitness oriented sometimes there were things connected to content and sometimes the courses were connected to things not connected to content but hobbies arts and crafts things of nature we also had athletics as you know we're gearing up believe it or not for our fall season of sports so a lot of our athletic teams across the high schools have been participating but we also had a unique experience this summer where we brought junior high intramurals to our junior high campus as you know typically we have a robust and rigorous intramural program throughout the year but this year at junior highs we're not able to do
013intramural sports with the result of the pandemic so this summer we brought intramurals back to our schools and our junior highs participated with some athletic competitions at the junior heights which was exciting we also have our summer arts academy which was thriving and as some of you i think attended last week the summer arts academy show just amazing talent in our district our teachers and our students just do tremendous work and we're excited for the great work they did this summer we also have continued with our aim program uh this matter of fact i think tomorrow is our aim summer uh celebration so that will be virtual but our robust internship and mentoring experience continued over the summer with our corporate and nonprofit partners where our students got to experience working in putting the five
014season into practice at a work phase work based settings so exciting to see that great work continue and last but certainly not least we also had our summer language academy take place that was virtual many of you attended i believe the summer language academy celebration that took place a couple weeks ago so a lot of great work that was taking place uh we we brought back our students it was a great transition for students and staff to be back on campus on a more regular basis now the other thing i want to mention too on this at the top you see the aohsd summer programs video we're not going to show that tonight but many of you have seen the video and it's on our website which highlights what i just spoke about the great
015work that was done this summer kudos to to john and our team who put that video together that really showcased the great work that was done across our campuses this summer now as a reminder our path to the reopening of our schools when we say reopening we talked about being back in person our schools were never closed we were always open and we're always doing good work but coming back to this in-person model as a reminder in the spring we continued to be virtual but as you know we had a tremendous transition to being back in person with our graduations so the first time that we really were back as a campus and it was for our seniors when we brought them back to handle city for graduations in that transition we opened the summer
016programs which i just spoke about where we were back in person for almost all of our programs with the exception of the aim program the summer language academy program that i mentioned that was just virtual we did have uh some of our esy programs that were in person and some that remained virtual as well this late summer which is really now and into the start of our school year we've been doing a lot of work and preparing our staff and i'm going to talk more about that in an upcoming slide but with e-cadence our learning management system that we're going to be using this fall and in ongoing we've done a lot of training with teachers across the district in prepping for the use of that that lms or learning management system and working with
017our students we've also continued a lot of work with instructional practices i know we held the writing institute this summer with mike switzer and a number of teachers participate in that to continue their work around writing and student-centered instruction around writing and then of course what we have coming up in the in in the next couple weeks is what i'll talk about as well this week of welcome we're gonna do some additional training with some of our newer teachers that we've hired with one-time funds and then of course to start the school year in august we want to make sure that uh part of what we do is our onboarding and in reopening of schools is that all of our staff are up to speed with current protocols guidelines also the logistics and the care
018opening as as you heard with christie you know when we talk about safety we also talk about emotional safety and mental safety and and we want to make sure that we really take time to nurture and reconnect with our students and our staff when we do open our schools and i'll talk more about that shortly as well but this has been the path that we have been on and we're super excited about what's to come in the coming weeks when we really prepare for the for the opening of our schools again with our kids being on campus with our staffs now as a reminder we will be back full person so we are looking at the high schools six periods of of instruction every day at the junior high seven periods of instruction every day
019on campus of course for those who have a zero period class they'll have seven periods of instruction potentially at the high school we're also looking at the safety protocols for our instructional return as you heard um christie better talk about the protocols we had in place a lot of those still will be in place based on the guidance we have we are following the guidance from cdph which is the california department of public health we also have the cdc guidance that we have to follow and of course the orange county healthcare agency guidance um dr ian is going to talk a little bit more about that and up in a bit about the update specifically that we're going to be following as it relates to are coming back to school and then lastly you know
020students wishing to be virtual one of the one of the requirements that came out of the state was a requirement to offer a virtual option for families who are not willing to come back as you know we have multiple options for our students first we have cva our cambridge virtual academy which students can apply to be a part of we also have our traditional independent studies programs that students can be a part of which is at polaris or our two satellite campuses at kennedy high school in katawa high school so we've met that requirement by offering these these options for students who wish to remain virtual in our district in their transition back to school this upcoming school year the other thing that i want to take a moment to talk about is the way
021that we're going to be welcoming back our staff and i think this is what's of critical importance for us as a district and i know as an edge division uh this is something that we've been putting a lot of time and energy in into building for our staff as we return oops sorry first we're calling this the care opening as in if in victor rijos who's an educational guru an author a national speaker he talks about this concept of care opening that we're not just reopening we're care opening and this really puts social emotional learning and compassion and care at the center of what we do and we recognize that many of our students and even our staff who have been out for over a year learning virtually there's going to be some trauma and
022some some some transition time that needs to take place when we do come back because they haven't been together in quite some time so it's really taking time to nurture and reconnect relationships rebuild school culture as you know we have a positive behavior intervention support system pbis it's re-teaching students how to behave in certain circumstances so there's a lot of good work that's going to be taking place especially those first several weeks of school to really acclimate our kids back into the school culture and our staff i know when i first came back to the office after being virtual for quite some time i noticed that i came home more tired than i normally am my throat was hurting from just talking more in person than i was when i was at home so we're
023gonna have to give staff and students that time to really adjust and transition back we're gonna all be out of shape so to speak for this care opening we're gonna be starting with work that we're doing with our administrators we recently had a retreat with with a smaller group of administrators through our gear up partnership uh where we took some time to do some mind work in terms of what this might look like how we as a district are going to operate moving forward our vision and what that looks like in reality and making it real for our students and our staff as we move forward next week on the 22nd and 23rd of july we're going to have what we call our leadership advance this is when we as administrators get together to do
024our own internal retreat in preparing for the opening of school each year what's gonna be exciting about this this um this leadership advance is gonna be the first time that we as managers as leaders have been together since march 2020 in person so just like we expect our teachers to do with our students as an ed division as a district when we work with our site administrators we're going to really be focusing on that care opening and what that looks like just to be together and to celebrate our time together we're going to be looking at the systems and structures that we want to have in place as we begin to move forward this school year also on the august second third and fourth is as i mentioned we've hired a lot of new uh
025teachers and counselors and social workers in this district as a result of one time funds temporarily while we have these funds well we want to onboard them properly into our district and what we're about our driver so on the second third and fourth we're doing that week of welcome for those who've been around for a while we used to have a week of welcome in our district when we used to traditionally hire lots and lots of folks to be a part of our district we're going to be bringing them back this year to properly onboard our new hires into the aohsd family on the second will be more of an overview the district with our superintendent perhaps some board members and some key teacher leaders on the set the the third the middle day of
026the the week welcome the ed division will be really talking about instructional initiatives the career preparedness systems framework the drivers around the five c's et cetera and then on the fourth it will be an onboarding with hr and um our ask the team will have some time with with the teachers along with some of our other partners and agencies that work with our district now i want to say what i'm really excited about as well is the staff development that we're going to be doing on august 5th 6th 9th and 10th as you know when staff return back to work for a school year typically a site is given two days of professional learning with their site teams this year with the one-time funds we were able to work with our our different bargaining groups
027to add two additional days of teachers staff development but i want to assure you just like we said with the kids we don't want to just hit those four days hard where we're overwhelming teachers where before the kids show up they're already burnt out and tired right we want to do that caropping with them just like we want them to do with our students so on those four days which i'll be talking about in a moment but really they're gonna be hitting these three these themes social emotional learning first month of school activities what that's gonna look like and of course safety protocols making sure we're all on the same page as we begin to open this school year now to go more in depth if you look at the next slide what we're going
028to do is of four days the schools typically always had those two days well two days still will remain with the schools they'll still have those two days to do their traditional work that they would do in preparing for the opening school but the other two days are going to be a professional learning experiences that is led by the district but really led at the site level by mental health experts i'm really really proud of the great work that um our social workers our psychologists and our lead counselors have done in preparing for this onboarding of our staff when we return on these two days they're gonna be going through protocols and activities with the staff that are gonna really look deeply at care and compassion and just you know on that first day back
029that we're doing this training with with our um our teams when we talk about care and compassion that first day is on self-care we're not even looking at students in in the community that we serve first first we're looking at just self-care how we can take care of ourselves because you got to take care of the caretaker and if we're going to get through this year with that enthusiasm that excitement but also the instructional initiatives that we have in place we need to make sure our staff is in a good place to do that so that first day is on care and compassion but looking at the self-care on that second day that we as a district take the lead on this is going to be where we look at that care and compassion for
030others and what that looks like with our students with our with our with with each other and with our families we're also going to be looking at trauma-informed practices making sure that we we have the signs the symptoms and things to look for so we can really intervene and help students when there's a great need or even colleagues if there's a great need we're also looking at things proactively what can we do proactively to avoid some of these things that may trigger students or trigger staff based on the experience they just had this past year and lastly we're also looking at the instructional shifts making sure that how we teach not just what we teach but how we teach engages students and really connects them to the work that they're learning the content learning remember
031with the career preparedness systems framework it looks at student voice and purpose right that education is relevant for them so that's gonna be an important piece in terms of how we shift our instruction or continue to shift our instruction then of course there's the five c's that it's done through an engaging way and then there's the hard skills right the content the the technical skills the skills that may come out of dual enrollment or some of the career pathways that we've established across our district those are going to be really a focal point in terms of how we approach teaching and learning and then as we talk about instructional chef sites if you look at student-centered instruction first and foremost we need to work with our staff to help students acclimate with each other right
032and getting back into school shape we're also going to need to make sure that we have a program and process in place to really on board our students again with expected behaviors across the different settings with the way that they may treat each other in the classroom because it's been a while since they've done that so we're going to really need to spend some intentional time rebuilding those habits that we want to see in our students each and every day mindfulness as you know mindfulness has been a big pro initiative for our district and really creating that space for both students and staff to really process how they're currently feeling but to think deeply about their intentions and be okay with their current state and that mindfulness and meditation is something we're looking to continually
033embed in our schools and our classes i'm proud of how many staff that we've had across our district that have been trained in mindfulness so we can bring these experiences to our students as you know we've also trained parents in mindfulness so it's something we're really proud of and we want to continue especially in this transition back to school and then lastly the cpsf the career preparedness systems framework that's integral into the way that we're shifting instruction as well that we think about those soft skills in the five c's we think about student voice and student purpose and then we think about those hard skills and the partnerships we have with our local college community partners uh cypress and florida college of course cal state foreign uci that we're thinking about those those experiences as
034well as we build our instructional model i now want to turn it over to dr nan who's going to give us an update regarding the california department of public health and what those updates and guidance looks like for us in terms of our rolling back into the school setting all right thank you so much dr free so just on this past monday and july 12th cdph gave their new updates to regarding masking and so really the three things you're looking at is number one is the level of community transmission of covet 19 the second would be with the vaccination coverage within the community and as well as among students faculty and staff and the third thing that was focused on is any local knighting outbreaks or any increasing trends so those are the three things
035that cdph um are bringing up to make sure to to see what's uh to see what whatever that happened from the friday the july 9 cdc update so basically what cdc said on june 9th is this schools that we have a mixed population uh with the people who are vaccinated and not vaccinated and so basically is what the district needs to do is together with a local public health official the district and consider multiple factors when making decisions about implementing layer protection strategies against copenhagen so read the layer protection really talking about masking and so that's going to be one of the focus um today so the latest cdph guideline as of this past monday um are these masks are optional in um outdoors for in all k12 settings so outdoors only it's masks are
036optional however indoors k-12 students are required to mask indoors with exemptions um per cd ph face mask guidance so they are um they are so basically the next things so any adults in k12 school settings are required to mask when sharing indoor spaces with students so however there are certain student group of students that cannot wear a mask and so they they're exempt from face carrying due to a medical condition they must wear a non-restrictive alternative such as a facial with the with a drape so that's uh critical at the bottom um as long as your condition permits it so really there are some exemptions for certain arms students because of the masking requirement at this point the physical distancing has now been eliminated based on these mitigation strategies which is our mask and so
037we had initially the six feet it was down to three feet and at this point there is no dissident requirement at this point but that's only if masking are required and um cdph very um stress on the ventilation as well as sanitation measures so these are two things they really have we um focus on so with that guideline we are going to translate into what um our district what we are what we are doing as well some of our requirement as well so these are the measures um that we have current that we are implementing masks are required indoors so any time that we're indoors we are masking and obviously this is the reason why the cdph said you these are the factors you have to look into and at this point you know until
038we know uh more numbers this is something that um we are implementing in our district auntie that's district wide and not just district y district y thank you district why thank you for the clarification ventilations are optimized with air purifiers and flotation change so in every single classroom we have um the air purifiers and our team as a technician they are constantly changing our um the filtration system within hvac systems i'm very confident that we the team have done a great job to make sure that we have everything um they are that we've been changing them as we speak as well and then if you walked on our campuses there are signs everywhere about masking washing your hands in restrooms reminding staff to make sure they sanitize your hands and wash their hands as well
039we have hand hands-free hand sanitizing units in if you can see there are everywhere on campuses we also have um washing stations hand washing stations being placed on all our campuses as well custodial staff they are sanitizing regularly and consistently throughout the day and so that's very very critical as we uh navigate through this and finally we are still um doing the contact tracer for both the students as well as adults and those are will be important for us as we would notify our families um or any of the staff if there's any outbreak that would or even the cases that are um that are coming and so that this is the latest guideline obviously um you know there could be additional requirements coming but this is as of this uh past monday um that
040what we're hearing and thank you so much and we are here to answer any questions that you may have does any board member have a question anne marie yes uh thank you very much that was very clear and concise um jaren had a question um thank you also for uh talking about the care opening um i think that's an excellent way to start the year can you give an illustration of how you you've been demonstrating uh or how you've been trying to get the word out to our um to our leaders to our principles and what have you been uh you know telling them uh give us kind of an example of that yeah so when we we actually had a principal meeting uh this morning with our principals where we spoke a lot about
041what the opening might look like they had time to plan and prepare together with the staff but an example of that care opening would be for that first week of school as an example you may not have a lot of the traditional instruction taking place where the students are opening up their books and beginning their their deep dive into the content into the five c's it may be just focused on revisiting classroom procedures it might be just rebuilding community in the classroom doing some of those activities some of those icebreaker activities where you can build community if you recall last year when we did our training with teachers there were three pillars right teacher presence building an online community or building community and of course building routines and predictability through the five c's those three
042pillars are not changing we're not like okay we're back so we don't have to do those anymore those are still critical and and those are gonna be the the essence of what we're doing when we when we do come back it's it's again re-teaching students how to be students it's giving staff a chance to to reconnect with what it is to be an in-person instructor so those are all things that we're doing you know right now in terms of the summer training we've had now lexington junior high and magnolia high school teachers who are beginning their capturing kids heart training you know in addition to all the schools that have already been trained so that's those are the kinds of things that you're going to want to see and that we're going to want to
043see when we open up our schools back in person in the fall it's just spending that time to reconnect build community the beautiful thing is for our junior highs your seventh and eighth graders they have not spent a day on that campus not a day right the eighth graders were virtual last year so you have an incredible opportunity to rebuild the culture that you would want i think if i might interact i think that one uh strong example would be restorative practices restorative circles the kids are coming out from a very traumatized year and i think it's very important that they have safe places to talk about their lives and that's how we build trust affirmation and doing so with with love i think the kids all of us need love and um i think
044our staff is prepared to demonstrate that and show that um that the entire generation is traumatized so i think it's really really going to be important that our kids have safe spaces to make meaning of this absolutely i definitely agree thank you for that for for you know starting off the year like that i i don't think this is a normal way to you know this isn't normal so i don't want to go back to normal i want to be i want our students to be in a safe nurturing environment as well as our staff as far as our parents has there been thought given to how we're going to get that message out to our parents uh that you know we're going to start off the year with you know with care and in
045mind because there are some some made you know be wondering why why didn't they get homework you know the first couple of days so uh have we given thought to how we were going to get that message out to our parents yeah as a matter of fact that today's principling that was one of the things that was discussed is all the schools are looking to do um kind of a welcome back town hall webinar where they are sharing these very same expectations before they even register so before registration takes place some type of communication that's going out both as a video per they're looking at doing coffee with the principals and regular meetings with the parents especially before school even starts to really make sure parents are aware of how we're approaching the the opening
046of our 21 22 school year with this care opening in my mind so a lot of a lot of the efforts the faces i believe return to work uh tomorrow the fifth no i think today was the first day either day tomorrow they return back to work so they're gonna be integral in in doing that work as well in the way that they connect and support with families and make sure they understand that our our vision our drivers is to really build that that empathy and that love for one another as superintendent matsuda said thank you so much bravo are there any other mr jabar yeah so uh first of all thank you very much for that report i know i was privileged enough to head to anaheim high school during the summer session to
047take a look at and i just want to mention the the signage placed throughout all sites excellent i i walked through the entire campus with uh me and another another uh and then our assistant principal um yes and he was very gracious enough to walk me through the process i uh saw the hands-free hand sanitizing units i even washed my hands just checked that it was working it was great to see that i was glad to see that there were placed in high traffic areas right and then obviously the even in the classrooms i was very it was very nice to see how students were all messed up and one of the things i actually visited about three or four classes and spoke to students and just asking about how they feel and what they
048feel like and every single of one of them were like so elated to be back on campus right so it was nice to see that and also our custodial staff so which goes back to now my questions about masking requirements we're asking students to mask up and do we have enough supplies in case we have students who walk in without a mask that we could actually hand them a mess yes we have a lot of supplies a lot sam thank you for all the um a lot of community members have been donating them to us so thank you so much the community for doing that as well so yeah and i think i asked you too there was another organization yeah we have like thousands and hundreds of thousands of masks so and a lot
049of family i mean a lot of individuals like to have their own personalized math and so obviously we welcome that but obviously we will be providing masks on campus as soon as they step in so um they need one right and i did have another organization which wanted to donate masks i know that you said that we had enough we have a lot right now yes but thank you so much though that everybody will need to make that donation to us absolutely and then the other part is in terms of students who are on campus and even adults for that matter right if they don't wear a mask and if they're providing some kind of justification you said based on this is that they at least have to wear a face shield so with the

055second okay okay uh this is an action item do i have a motion you have a second yes okay i was i know i had listening here and i understand we have a couple members from the ecology center would you like to speak sir sorry um thank you for having me board uh trustees cabinet superintendent matsuda my name is jonathan zeidman i won't take too much of your time i work for a non-profit in san juan capistrano called the ecology center we're an educational organization we have a 28 acre regenerative organic farm that's been growing food for our community but also engaging community members distributing food to families in need and training the next generation of farmers a few years ago two to be uh clear we started a relationship with the encinitas union school
056district and we took over a dirt lot that they had 10 acres and we transformed that into the first certified organic school farm in the country we're growing 10 000 pounds of food for their students every year it's being used as an educational site where all of the students from the eight elementary schools are rotated but it's also producing for their central nutrition services and offering this high quality organic produce that the students all get to dig their hands into the dirt with into their cafeteria lines and their salad bars it's been a model for success nationwide they were awarded the usda farm to school grant last year they've won the last two years the green school alliance award for their work that they're doing on the site and we've had schools from minneapolis union
057school district all the way through florida and jacksonville come out to that site to learn about what we're doing in partnership with the district i'll wrap this up but when we were engaged to see what we can do with anaheim union we got very excited about transforming a dirt lot at magnolia high school into an educational productive community engagement asset for your guys's community i look around and i see all these values on the schools you know and the bio and the medical and the career training opportunities and i think that there is likewise similar work that can be done around agriculture and it's not necessarily around the farm itself but it's about health and wellness it's about biology and it's about engaging community you know you're so blessed to have a school district that
058is diverse and and has roots in agriculture and what we'd love to do is to help honor that history that your students and your community brings into this work so if i can just talk a little bit about that project it's taking a two acre literal dirt lot next door to magnolia high school and creating a value-added educational productive farm that students will get to dig into and be a part of and again gross food for the district um i'm happy to answer any questions that you guys have about this work i understand that there are multiple community organizations that are enthusiastic about contributing through volunteerism and even through philanthropy i brought one of our friends anthony basil who's a business leader who is interested in supporting work like the work that you guys are
059doing and i think that it's viable to not only put your valuable school board or district resources into this work but very viable to find partners through corporate entities and individual philanthropists that also want to see students focus on health and wellness and entrepreneurship and career training through agriculture and i'll just wrap real quick with a personal story because it touched me seven months ago i was diagnosed with cancer and i've since gone through chemo and surgery and really kind of healed up quite quickly and you know the doctors all mentioned to me that it's been a pretty magical recovery and the speed at which it's occurred has really shocked a lot of them and really that's come through living into this work and how we eat you know and i think so much of
060us so many of us we think about reactionary measures to health but we have this opportunity moving into this new world after covid and thinking about health and wellness to think about preventative measures and i think it's our responsibility to include that into the educational school day so thank you for having me and i really want to commend how hard this last year has been for school districts and and how much courage and integrity you've all brought to this work like i said we work very closely with other school districts and i've seen just how much you've all done to make sure that our students are educated and i appreciate you all for that thank you do we have any questions yeah i would just like to say we commend you and i want you
061to know that you have come through a life experience that many people have shared and understand what you're where you're coming from and i know you will do well just hearing you tells me you were on a future will path thank you for sharing your story i had someone asked me yesterday other than lettuce what other products are we able to grow in in the uh the future so we here we practice purple culture or ecological design which is a diversified model of agriculture which has more value educationally but also productively so we'll introduce agroforestry which really just means productive fruit and nut trees as well as a wide diversity of nutritious interesting and educational cultural crops so yes lettuce is important because kids like to hopefully many of them like to eat salad but
062we can introduce carrots beets tomatoes so friends union school district we grow all their tomatoes that they then take process and freeze throughout the year for pizza and pasta sauces so they have organic pizza pasta sauce every day okay thank you i'm just so excited i want to do this now and i want to expand it like throughout the whole district and and even our whole county but uh we have to start at one school so so i really i'm really excited uh to to work with you and um i just wanted to did you say how this got started was i not paying attention and had a vision to transform that into a productive but also educational asset and that's now we're in the work of replicating that as a non-profit so we did
063it in san juan and i welcome you all to visit it's a little bit of a drive and probably avoid traffic hours but then we did it in encinitas and now we're trying to trial that and the idea is that absolutely we don't need more mega farms like we see in the central valley we need more community farms and for people to be able to see where their food comes from so a two acre farm is actually a huge asset and the minimal investment in my opinion that can be put into that will pay off tenfold yeah very exciting you're chomping at the bit go ahead i am uh jonathan again thank you i know you've made several you and evan have made several trips to magnolia we're very grateful because uh as you've noted
064uh magnolia is in the middle of a food and health and nutrition desert which has been exacerbated by the challenges of covid and uh we are as we're speaking we have teacher leaders working on curriculum helping the students will help define this area as a food desert using a lot of data analytics and census data as well so and with our multiple partners we'll be able to track longitudinal data looking at the health of the community over years so uh again we're very grateful to you and evan and your team uh for the partnership and yeah it's a beautiful uh facility you guys have in san juan capistrano so thank you i'd like to see it yeah i'd like to see that but in the meantime i want to say this we have made some
065small attempts throughout the years to get some gardens going at some of our schools and magnolia was one of them but it's difficult and this is going to be great though i mean because we've had some small farms a little you know we have one at cotello we had one at magnolia we had one at brookhurst brookhurst wasn't dale but i mean they're small in comparison this is going to be a much bigger thing and i'm really excited to see it i'm a gardener i mean so i i've got my own community garden plot and it's just great you know and there's a lot of things you can grow besides lettuce come on broccoli i wanted to come on spinach i think i mean she pointed out too we do have interests across the district
066this is going to be an urban laboratory right across the district many many teachers from other schools are involved with this too for another 30 seconds here we've consulted on 100 school gardens and you essentially hand off the playbook and some succeed and some don't but what we have seen is the single greatest factor of success in these relationships is deep investment at the administrative level at the executive level so if it's tied to curriculum and if there's budgeting for it then it will succeed great great right right and then you'll have a lot of success when you have anna get in there and get dirty thanks a lot and our kids hey i think it's great you know i mean i've been i've been trying on this and i've been involved over the years
067and but this is phenomenal this is really and i'm just hoping and i will be around watching and looking let me tell you and our most important well well when they grow something they're going to want to eat it they're going to want to learn about it and and they did some pumpkins a couple years ago and they were really excited but the kids are going to absolutely love it oh yeah word's going to get out everybody's going to want this so thank you so much and thank you for your story too i'm actually taking a nutrition class right now and we're in the mineral section so i can i can attest to you know what you eat is it's you are what you eat absolutely absolutely well thank you so much thank you thank
068you for coming up yeah it's exciting okay i know this is a tough call i mean it's going to be a difficult boat okay okay and this one doesn't have to be roll call so uh any other comments or questions seeing none will call for the vote all those in favor aye opposed i hear none okay you betcha welcome aboard ecology center okay 1116 use of facilities agreement north orange county community college district 76 what did i say 16. it's 11 6. oh i'm sorry so moved okay second it's not the right numbers just wrong position no uh i have a motion for okay and i have a second okay any questions or comments i got one real quick all right so i know that this is a partnership with an occd i want to

073know how you attire yourself when you come onto a campus so i think that's the continuum it needs right and it is part of this that you know professional attire is part of it and it just of course resorts to the individual master teacher and the administration on that campus to say something and i know a lot of times people are kind of hesitant to say anything because in our society genes are very acceptable but at the same time when you're standing in front of 30 some kids and you know you need to [Music] be a little bit cut above the norm in other words so i totally agree with you shouldn't look like a student standing there exactly and uh i know i'm i'm old-fashioned but i'll tell you you know the last years
074of my teaching watching some of the newer teachers come i'm going ah you know the way they decided to dress was just not exactly culpa said it's not acceptable so let's hope our administrators and our master teachers start making comments to the student teacher so that they do come a little bit better attired okay any other comments questions seeing none all in favor aye opposed okay and 11.17 is the agreement with portland state university i have a motion in a second again this is for preparation for student teaching where is portland state located i am not sure i mean is i don't know if they're probably based in portland and probably have a satellite camp campus is what i'm imagining portland oregon yes yes and they're coming here to student teach that just seems strange
075don't usually student teach in the state where you're going to college not necessarily it's not necessarily it's not anymore this is a new one for me now it they you know we've had a lot of these where they're from different colleges out of state and what happens is the kids that originally are from this area go to college there and then they want to come home and do their student teaching here and as long as the school districts will agree to that then they do it then they'll do their student teaching here because this is where they want to let's say live and find a job so we'll learn how portland state teaches in education so for some degree yes okay any other questions comments all in favor aye aye opposed okay seeing none 11.18
076salary increase for the executive director of greater el heim special ed local plan area organization second i have a motion in a second any questions or comments all right all in favor all right opposed all right moving on we are now to the consent calendar item 12. do i have anyone requesting to pull any items yeah 12.12 please 12.12 12.15 12.26 and 12.27 12 15 12 26 and 12 20 7 seven move for the balance second all right all in favor aye opposed okay uh we'll go to twelve point twelve so i'll move second motion in a second questions or comments okay seeing none all in favor aye opposed and abstain all right okay item point fifteen it's almost a second motion a second questions or comments yeah i asked this question about the difference
077between this program and the orange county human relations program so if you could kind of elaborate on that so that people know what type of program it is and why it's yeah they're both equally important and we're fortunate that we we had a meeting with both our partners at orange county human relations and the restorative justice um i'm sorry the racial center of racial justice and education and there is some overlap but they're they're also doing some different things with our campuses we we have brought the racial center or the center for racial justice and education by ucr our collaborative partners uh they had recommended some work and we got a grant where they're actually covering half of the cost we cover the other half with orange county relations we're doing deeper work with implicit
078bias in the sort of circle training that mr matsuda referenced earlier with the center for racial justice and education they're going to be doing a lot of deeper dives in race racism and systems what that looks like uh specifically with catella and cyprus so it's not going to be connected to the same thing that orange county human relations doing although there's of course overlap with implicit bias it's different um and there we met with their team and they're just a phenomenal team who does a lot of deep work especially within schools and what that might look like so um that's where that partnership is going to grow and that that is going to require multiple meetings with debt center and our site teams as they grow and build their capacity in that area and spread
079out the different techniques and strategies that are accompanied with that i have a question these expanded learning opportunity grant funds are these do they come from federal state funds so get that one that that's part of the av-86 and that one comes from the state from the state not federal no not yes that one comes from the state thank you you're welcome okay any other questions or comments seeing none all in favor aye aye opposed okay item 12.26 and we can actually take both 2016 together and 27. second okay so i have a motion in a second yeah i just pulled these two items just to kind of elaborate on uh to give an update on have we made any progress with fulton college and moving forward with that with the dual uh credit programs
080yes we have and i appreciate you asking trustee javar you know in full transparency as we've we've had with the board um cyprus there's been some inequities between what cyprus what we've gotten from cypress college and florida college over the years and we have had very frank and direct conversations with foreign college that we need to close those gaps because of the kids on all of our schools deserve these same quality experiences and access to these dual enrollment courses as you may or may not know president greg schultz has been great he just left to take another job at citrus right so right now gil contreras has been serving as the acting president and i know mr colon and miss bean have been working closely with him and his team and have actually had some
081moment positive momentum with with the team are we where we need to be yet no however we are making positive attraction in that area and then we're waiting on august 1st for fullerton college or the north orange county district to name the the interim president at fullerton college uh where a meeting will be set up with that interim president which maybe mr contreras or maybe someone else to further discuss this work mike did you want to say something yeah but just for the record um mr javar we have uh put some pressure on fullerton college by shifting a couple of schools that used to be part of fullerton college that would be magnolia and savannah so that has really i think sent a message to them that we mean business and uh hopefully dr contreras
082uh i think uh they are they they did get that message and uh we hope to see some changes yeah and i bring this up over and over again because it's a concern for students who actually go to anaheim high school right because for them the easy access is full of in college and if they're if we're not benefiting then we do need to put that pressure i i did for all transparency purposes i did have a conversation with one of the board members they're interested to know because obviously i don't think it percolates up to the board members level but board member to board member i've had that conversation so i would encourage the superintendent to reach out to i'll have the com i'll introduce you to one of the board members who sits
083who have had the conversation he's very much interested in knowing how to mitigate the problem so hopefully we can work on that yeah and we have had those conversations where as superintendent matsuda said we have i don't use word threatened because that's not the intent but we have said that if this doesn't improve we are going to pull which we've done magnolia and savannah as you know like you just said the students who live in anaheim catalan luera fullerton college has the easier access that's where they live so it's in our best interest to try to nurture that relationship because it gives our kids too because some of those students if they don't go there they're going to santa ana college correct right so so mr dr contreras is aware and he's been making some
084movement with his team and uh you know working with with amanda bean and their team we feel like we're making good headways but they they know that in the back of their head if we if we're not satisfied by late winter of next year um that we will we'll make some some decisions to maybe look at cypress college for other schools okay all right thank you thank you it's just surprising that the two colleges i mean they're so different in other words and how they're accepting and working with you know the agreement it's still part of north orange county community college district but but they're they're independent as you know i spent nine years on that board and each each campus is autonomous of the other and it's a challenging this is very challenging work
085and it both with on our side and as well as their site too because you have to work with their infrastructure and um i i think it's going to happen it hap because they're they're they're losing enrollment and that's really you know that's what talks yeah right but it's interesting yeah you know so okay any other questions on a positive note a number of our students are taking advantage of the um the pledge and they're putting it on social media and they're very excited for their students to start this year so oh good positive note okay yeah okay so any other comments or questions seeing none all in favor aye opposed okay motion passes okay moving on to item 13 superintendent and staff report to me the only report is i will be sending you
086an update on the leadership advance once we have those those details finalized so you'll know if it's going to be at oxford or if it's going to be the feeder pattern that we talked about so just stand and look up for that update okay oh my okay then we're moving on to 14. oh i missed one wrong side okay no no report manuel okay so moving on to the board report okay hey i just want to sing the praises of the um the summer vap academy it was a wonderful kind of reunion for a lot of us to get out and and and see each other in person and the uh the the teachers um in that short amount of time taught those students i don't know how many were there there were about six
087or seven broadway shows that they they took little synopsis and little scenes from the orchestra played throughout it was just an amazing night and uh i just want to commend uh everyone who put that together especially the students they were so excited and they were so talented and there's some there's some actors in that crowd there were some that just every every uh part that they were every uh ensemble that they were in you could just see them and they stood out so um but it was a great opportunity for our kids to get together from all different sites and boy they showed their talents and just want to give a great great shout out to everyone involved it was a great night i attended the zoom call of the orange county department of ed
088they get the capital advisors to come and give a budget analysis um while things are looking good they're still there's still some things that that are questions that need to be addressed um but i think the forecast looks good for this year on the budget scene and then attended the rop meeting along with my colleague al jabbar and um dr uh lichia halstrom which is who is their new administrator there was very excited to come up and talk to ella and i about the um the the trailer that they have at trident now on the the gilbert campus with their healthy smiles she used to be the director of healthy smiles so she's very excited to um to have brought that there um and i asked her you know can you give me some numbers
089of how many people have been treated she said there are so many adults that have come where they would never have gotten a dental treatment there before a lot of adults are coming to get get treatment and so far uh there have been uh 359 patients i've seen since their soft opening since the soft opening in middle of april so isn't that amazing amazing and she wants to expand and speaking of partnerships with rop she wants to expand you know that trailer and the programs that are going to be provided for our students over there so she said she's got a lot of plans so i'm excited that jose lara and she are going to collaborate and and do some great things so that's my report thank you mr o'neal i haven't been around much
090to be able to do anything but just hopping around i know it is terrible that's terrible so it's nothing having to do with uh future but i have a couple of questions so i'll use my time for a couple of questions we had talked about um um a life skills for people for students in classes i like to uh get uh what what is the um economics curriculum or if it's just a book financial literacy yeah what's in the book maybe if get a copy of the book so i can take a look at that i'd like to see that yes and we've talked about in the past we have done some school mapping where are we maybe you can put it in friday report let us know what school mapping is that what what
091in the process uh cs primary school school mapping was in the security oh david davis i'm sorry and then we used to uh have the school board representative go to all csba conferences whether it's san diego san francisco or wherever i'd like to get that back into uh current process no that was for student board member to go student board yeah yeah yeah that is in here for for us but i think we need to include the student board member and uh having them yeah the opportunity to go to the great that would be great student they can learn a lot on the csba thing yeah get that yeah yeah that's a great idea and since we haven't had schools in session for a while are are we going to be um pushing the plc's
092um the parent leadership academy pla parent leadership academies yes getting those going yeah yeah we were doing them even virtually so they didn't go away but we are looking to bring them back and i know there's already modules that are being worked on as we speak bigger and better i mean it's coming back yeah i've been to some graduations and sort of i miss those so looking forward and it's so important for the for these parents good thank you that's it okay mr javar all right so i think i mentioned it i actually had the pleasure to visit uh anaheim high school to take a look at and walk into some classes i love hearing some of the discussions in the classroom and to see how interactive they were so i was pleased to see
093that there were students who really didn't have to be in summer class but they did come to summer class so that was awesome to see obviously our summer language academy i was part of that celebration i love that program and was honored to be there to say a few words the visual arts academy and the presentation and the the performance that they had it was awesome and we had a lot of community members participate and i know a couple of them are in the audience and they really enjoyed uh the the whole entire showcase and what really struck me is that sharon mentioned sharon king mentioned that some of these students have some of the students who actually played instruments and who performed have not been in a classroom or not even picked up an
094instrument but just just two weeks they were there doing that so it was awesome to see that it also speaks to our teacher skills so i wanted to commend them uh the aim program um very very good i mentioned that we had two interns i know we're going to miss them we just signed a thank you cards for them and gave them certificates today from our office but i know they'll be there tomorrow uh both of them were very eager to learn and one of them actually wants to come back to set up a meeting with one of our folks to talk about health equity so they were exposed to a lot of uh policy making sessions they were exposed to actually just uh yesterday both of them attended one of our main policy uh
095equity map unveiling of it and they actually got first-hand to look at how we could use maps to uh influence policies so i was glad to see our students getting that experience at county level at least that is great yep and did attend the rop meeting and then i will end this by basically asking our teams i know i'm meeting with carlos on monday but let's make vaccination a priority again because we do have certain and i know repeating to some of you here but i want to make sure that the public knows that we do have a lot of census tracts that still need to be vaccinated so we need to make those a priority and make sure that we partner with whoever we need to because the orange county healthcare agency is partnering
096but then there are other organizations also partnering to do this effort so we want to bring all of them together and i also want our district to take a look at maybe giving opportunities to some of our clubs and organizations because the healthcare agency does have a program where if you if you do host a vaccine clinic and you bring a certain number of people you will be able to use it as a fundraising opportunity for the organization and i know one of the organizations reached out to me and i'm going to be talking to callers about it too but i think our our campuses that's one thing that i pushed is to make sure that our campuses get an opportunity uh if there are organizations which are probably tapped for money right now if
097they can do like a booster bring people who are not being vaccinated and show up a clinic uh the organization could make some money so that's it thank you thank you mr smith i see our next board meeting is august 12th which is thursday and school starts on the 11th the day before on wednesday so that should be an interesting board meeting and the only sadness that i think is that kids can't go back and hug each other maybe they can some will i hope they will i will and i just send virtual hugs to all of you this has been a devastating year for paulina and connie they work so hard they don't get enough credit so anyway i'm glad we're all back and doing well good all right [Applause] okay don't forget john
098he's still there okay um i did a few things i went to a sister city meeting and we're still moving along here and still not decided with the city how they're going to rearrange the sister city commission but in the meantime we're still limping along doing what we have and we are looking into a virtual exchange right now because of the uncertainty with japan um you know they're coming here or us going there it's just been still too uncertain so they're trying to establish an actual virtual exchange between a couple of i mean between students and and uh students there so we'll see how that's working so far then i attended a breakfast club with insurance commissioner ricardo lara and it was interesting and then i did an inter i watched an interview with senator
099padilla on the orange county forum you know these zoo meetings and i attended the summer language academy and then i did the california department of education's budget perspectives webinar i learned some interesting things on that one uh i started to kind of tune out a little when we were kept talking about the k the tk but that wasn't pertinent for me but still very interesting um there have been a number of uh you know zoom meetings and webinars that i've tried to attend and i unfortunately can't always and i am so bummed that i miss the uh arts thing oh but uh i've been really busy lately and i've been caught up in a lot of different things so i did miss that and i'm bummed but maybe next time but anna the tea cares
100are going to be future oh i know i'm not saying anything against them i'm just saying that you know i didn't need to know when you know they can start here and keep going you know but hey i have had two of my grandchildren in tk that's a big thing that helps let me tell you and and i wanted to say this is something else you know we've got oh i've had questions you know already from the community about masks are we going to have maybe wearing masks and what are they going to do if the kid doesn't wear a mask i said well they changed their mind on that you know when they first came out and said we had to escort them off campus and and it was like who's going to do
101that that was the question i got asked and it's like well i don't know maybe the administration gets to do that you know but thank goodness they came out and said you know it would be up to the local schools how we handle it so instead of telling us we have to do something but we do have to mask and i will say this yes for some of these parents who are going to complain oh my kid can't we wear a mask all day hey they can kids are adaptable let me tell you i watched my kindergartner all last year wear a mask all day long for school my kinder and my fifth grader you know and my fourth grader and my third grader they all wore masks all day long and and i would
102go pick up one of them and they'd forget they had their mask on you know they just so they get used to it it's us older ones who find it a little bit more difficult to adapt but they do fine and the kids will do fine so um any uh the only thing i have to say is happy birthday to two of our board members mr o'neill's birthday was yesterday and mrs trejo is today happy birthday she gets to spend her birthday on a meeting like me how about that now you're going to i should get paid double right oh yeah i never thought about that that's not a bad idea check next time okay all right our next meeting then will be uh august 12th the day after school starts okay then item 15.2
