021well he wasn't here last time so okay so real quick Northshore science fair I got to go be a judge at the NorthShore science fair which is always awesome it's a little bit of highlight to get to go interact with the kids I am so glad that nor does does it that way that you get to interact with the kids asking question just a shout out to a young man named Keegan kimoa he's one of those students that we all deserve to have at some point as a teacher just an amazing it was he did a project on golf ball distance and cut golf balls in half tried to figure out it was just amazing the way he set up his dat at the way he went through it brilliant young man that was a
022pleasure to talk to him uh way highlight of the week for me um weather stations uh weather stations are now in place at all the schools J and I have all the schools now weather stations are in place because when we had the fires things like that big bear is funny where Big Bear High School sits and Northshore sits they all sit a little differently so when we look at what is healthy for the kids to be out or what's too cold or what's wind factors and all those things we needed weather station this is not an expensive things so between Craig and Jake they had them put in and I'll share the um links with the board as well that they show it'll show their wind Deck index it'll show everything on it it'll
023show the air quality it'll show the temperature so that way we have a better idea and principles can make a call rather than waiting for us which just set a standard if your kids can't go outside sometimes when there's smoke in the air when things like that happen we had different when we had the fires and then we came back to school certain like it may have been better up in Sugarloaf area where it may not have been good at Northshore or the bigger middle school so this gives us a little bit more the principles and STA and even parents can log on anyone can log on to see what the temperatures wind and everything else looks like at the size so thank you to Jake and Craig for getting that set up did you
024put one at fille there's I don't know if they've installed the one at fallsville yet but all the other sites up here there is one for FS yes are they all internal or are they set up to like other websites too using them as a weather station it goes to another website it's ambient weather website uh but all the links are live so anyone can check them um so yeah they're all set up right now you can look at them it has um all kinds of data on there that you can look at has the particular matter data so you can see how much you know how he the there actually is but yeah it's they're great Manny brought up the map you could see that there was some personal weather station okay so yeah
025okay that's good so thank you for that you and Craig thank you for the getting those set up I think it's going to be really helpful to the S my parents um February 26 we had parent advisory meeting um always a great night goes about two hours those parents have a lot to say um but I mean that in the best way possible it really is good uh some of their input and I will say one of them also made a comment about same comment our other guests had about liking seeing something being done because Craig what we're talking about Craig started doing a little bit of clearing so we can start somewhere on some of the big High School area to start clearing the area making it look nicer cleaning those things up and
026I appreciated Our Guest saying that this evening because because of the fact that it does make a difference you know I know the board has said that over and over again that it does make a difference the little things matter and I appreciate that the parents notice it community members notice it and that we're trying to make that effort and Craig's trying to do this little by little and get through some of the things so the parents like I said parent advisor parents even noticed as well um Jess isn't going to like it but I think he put a go trct oh just don't make eye contact with Jess when you say you don't look her in the eye she doesn't know what's happening student Square pilot so we have we have parent Square which
027we communicate with parents we recently had a little bit of how we communicate with students so for coaches things like that they need to communicate with students we need to make sure it's done in a safe manner how teachers or ASB present anybody how they communicate with students so we're piloting right now Jake is helping us pilot a student Square pilot trying to get that going now where so we're having a few teachers like our ASV teachers maybe a couple coaches um to how that will work how they're communicating with students so we have a record happens it's a way safer mode of communication for teachers to communicate directly with students mainly only at the really only at the secondary level though we're only talking about using coaching situations um and coaching situations or ASB
028situations but we're just piling it to make sure we work out the Kinks and see how that works out so we just kind of getting that going now and and Safety Committee coming up um we met with Raven and Jess today just and uh Britney to kind of go over some train that we need to do um the stop the bleed kits that up come the SES we have to make sure everyone's trained on these items so those so making sure the dates are coming to the place and that everyone's properly trained and our last thing my last thing for on the consent calendar as you know we us have the mom and dad project mou uh they're joining us again Megan and her team and everything they've done uh the mom and dad project
029have been if you can see everything on theou it's a pretty extensive cuz there's yeah it's extensive but when we look through it I thought there was going to be more to cut off but there wasn't because they really are providing all those services this is a really exciting partnership with Meg and came to me with this said this is what I have Manny how do we support it was at a genuine care and support that the mom and dad project did this to support our students knowing and it just it just hit the perfect time that we needed this support with El students emotional social emotional support everything that's going into it uh they came tonight again to make sure that we have any questions that her amazing team showed up again the board
030any questions now that you have theou in front of you um because they want to make sure they're doing everything they can to support our students this is an exciting partnership it's good any questions on it looked very extensive to me I have a question what's your relationship to the hospital and with the hospital as far as a partnership like what services do they provide for you and don't provide for you so they're are parent company so we're technically a program run under the district um a couple years ago the district doesn't have its own 501c3 so we're Grant funded so that made it really difficult and we had to run through a fiscal sponsorship which was the hospital Foundation um and because of some turnover with the foundation multiple presidents coming through people leaving
031um they had kind of some leadership that came through the foundation wasn't really sure they wanted to run money through as a fiscal sponsorship anymore and at that time John fre was here and he said to to me and our team you guys should just get your own 50133 run all the programs under the 501 and then we entered into anou with the district so we're all District employees so we're all covered by their infrastructure all of their big insurance we get in kind with their CEO their CFO accounting HR all of those things they oversee all of that for our employees as far and they oversee our programs too so I report to their board but we also have our own 5501 C3 board of directors at the nonprofit because we also report out
032on that so um it's just an extra layer of accountability for us are there any people on your board of directors that are also on the hospitals totally independent and what's your relationship with medical staff there so can you like walk across the hall to a site and have a conversation about a patient and make a referral correct we actually are staff sharing too so luron who's our acsw um 50% is under our program and then 50% is under the clinic so that and we're doing that with our substance abuse Navigators as well um Brian Sharp and chassid Burke we fund um half of those positions also under our programs and so we do a lot of Staff sharing back and forth with the hospital so yes we actually um have had multiple situations where
033we've had clients in our space that have needed kind of immediate medical attention or psychiatric attention and we have had kind of the privilege of just walking them into and making sure that things are happening with people this is probably impossible question to answer but I'm trying to get some idea as far as the number of people that you can service yeah and I know that's tough cuz some are going to be several hours some fewer hours you talking about seeing you know a revolving dozen people at a time are we talking fewer are we talking more or is it hard to say yet it depends on the service so our contract under dbh we were scheduled to serve 1900 unique IND idual this year we hit that in the first quarter so um that
034is not people that are coming consistently to classes we have series of classes so that could be you know 30 people that come for a series of classes um dbh is not our only contract right now we have um five other ones um and so uh all of our contracts um dtail with one another and so any any event like Freddy was asked this year with a lot of of our team to come and do red ribbon we at all the schools so all of those assemblies and things like that count so you can see how we hit those really fast um that's not individual conversations but we've done tabling events out in the community those also count so we do farmers marketing that also counts as far as um some of the more structured
035classes like I said you're talking about anywhere from 10 to 25 people being in there for a variety of time especially when we're talking about our s sud or substance abuse disorders um a lot of those classes are ongoing right there's not a time limit on recovery and so um for our kids we're not actively doing recovery right now we're starting that process we are doing that for adults and we're doing that for transitional age youth as well and so unfortunately right now um some of the kids that you guys are seeing that are having issues with that they're all getting lumped into some of our classes at the hospital and we're trying to kind of tease that out saying maybe it's not the most appropriate for an 18-year-old kid to be in with a
036six-year-old man so we're trying to kind of tease that out as well and this grant that you have how long does it run for is this something that's in perpetuity is this something where hey we got five years so none of our grants were in perpetuity um we've made some really strategic and smart moves this year honestly thanks to Jeff tunnel um we you know grant funding you guys are aware it's it's unstable um and but none of our current fing is under any kind of um nothing's on hold for us right now but this grant under dbh is only for 2 years however um if you guys are familiar with the mhsa money which is um the millionaire tax on on California for 1% tax on millionaires that's going under a huge transition right
037now it's becoming BH bhsa money which is behavioral health so they're taking out kind of mental health behavioral health it's getting cut about about 33% I believe is going to be redirected into homeless Services we have been told by dbh um we're the only Family Resource Center here in Big Bear we're the only contract here in Big Bear Rim Family Services has a dbh contract on the other side of the mountain and they do some Services here we partner with them LSS has a different contract with dbh and we also try to partner with them um as best we can um we have been told that the Family resour Center contract is going to be up coming back up for another 3 years this is our first time doing it our first time working with
038the dph um we actually I just sent a um asked for a letter of support from the school district to Manny a couple days ago because we had another one that came across my desk that is another fiveyear contract so there is money and other contracts out there we're not I'm always concerned because I'm kind of a pessimist about funding um I've been in situations where our funding was taken from us for various reasons not from us but from some of our fenders um so I'm always kind of on the lookout for additional funding you don't have any federal fundings we have we have draw down dollars from dhcs um but nothing nothing none of our federal dollars are on hold because the programs that are being put on hold um are not always Direct
039Services related so a lot of the Direct Services dollars are going untouched and we are seeing our contracts come through so as a 501c3 is it something where you're going to engage the community for donations fundraisers and things or that's not big enough we're talking big buck so if you had say a rich board president who wanted to cut a six figure check we would Happ to accept that thank so um if someone different were sitting in the executive director's seat they may go after yeah but you got enough to do but me it's not cuz you need to Grant big money yeah I we've been really uccessful with grant funding um we've been really successful with some strategic moves that we've made with some of that funding we had about um half a million
040dollars that came through on San Manuel that we were able to invest with Mike natic um in some no risk treasury bonds um and we made some we made some good money off of that so we actually and then we have a rainy day fund from the hospital we have a $250,000 Reserve from them from their board from gosh years ago that we've never had to touch um that does not mean that tomorrow everything's can change you guys are familiar with how how this works in my experience when I came to the mom and dad project doves gets a lot of local attention rightly so but they do a big fundraiser um and when I had sat down with Helen and her board and asked about it it's a lot of work for not a
041ton on return it's a lot of them just being out in the public and stewarding relationships we do that in a different way um not through a fundraiser we do not have a signature event I do not want to do a signature event I don't think these guys want don't get me wrong I think that's genius I watch people do stuff all the time and I'm like look at the man hours that went into it and if you all don't even $5 you would have made twice as much money and didn't spend 100 of your time slightly exaggerating this dollar not that much yeah well and also for us it was important to me we were not going to compete with the hospital foundation and they do events so you know I think that this
042community is so generous they've been so good to us in so many ways very good to me personally um that a signature event seemed exactly like you said a lot of time an effort and we just chose to go about it a different way and so far it it has worked for us where did you go to high school I went to biger high school not te hey the gentleman sitting next to you was everyone ice cream for I was like oh he was in the paper I got told I everybody ice cream this for thank that's great I well we're all excited about it so thank you very much for going for that grant funding you probably have a future in training Grant Riders because I know you're amazing at it happened for well
043over thank you y I still stand by the superheroes and this guy's like the mad scientist who's like like the out in the B so thanks thanks for all your help you guys don't have to stay because we're kind of yes okay very you thank AR ex my started at the chamber this morning at thank you very much we're excited on those sites tomor [Music] thank you so much for being here should play some Tom Petty for what do you think now says no sorry but she's within Striking Distance of J out that's right all right uh governing board member report yeah I also judged the um nor science fair I've done several years now it it's just a blast okay I I don't carry my load because I talk to the kids way too
044but you do but it's great they love it they eat it up well I mean I I really like talking about science for all these reasons and when you get a kid who is into it and doing you know fifth grade level but interesting things like like like was saying it's a lot of fun so I will I went too and I enjoy enjoyed watching you talk I know I the same I'm listening to him talking the kid I love gets stuff out of that they don't even know they have well done I dig a Little Deeper Smart I just said it thoroughly I usually judge it but I doy watching Dr folks um with the students but I couldn't judge it this year but I did go there weren't too many kids um that
045you know that evening when were presenting weren't too many kids at their project so I didn't have a chance to really talk to kids but um but it was fun there was a lot of good energy and lots of people were showing up um early like l there was a an extra amount of projects that had to do in candy this year that Skittles there's probably a lot of sample testing that has to be done teach your headphon manager they know how to work the system and I just wanted to mention um I went to my first Amino County School boards Association meeting on February 24th um there wasn't much on the agenda except going over the calendar which there'll be about 10 meetings that I'll need to go to you know when you sign
046up for these things and they say it's just a few but U but it is interesting there are fellow school board members there and representing different districts so I think it will be interesting as we sort of get into it oh um you will be getting the invite to the 2025 spring Awards which will be in ail I don't know things come through to you yet more but anyway um so there's a little bit of discussion about this and kind of put in the the final touches on it so I'll just keeped got okay I'll finish it um I just wanted to touch base on uh dual enrollment anyone watching um I know kids are going to start enrolling for next term we're just finishing a year of it where we've had classes in person
047and uh my two high schoolers have taken them they've had some amazing professors that are also teachers at the school or retired teachers that came back like uh Mr Bradley um so Jesse had a last term Jane has a this term and um I heard someone say recently and it wasn't a board member administrator that if our kids don't leave high school without at least a couple college classes done they're crazy because it's free and it's just an amazing opportunity I know um my ninth grader my 11th grader won't touch art but my ninth grader she's in her second art history class with uh Mr Wilson and Andrew's an amazing teacher um and she loves going to his class that's like her favorite class has been year so and just those two classes gets a
048kid College and Career ready according to California State for the indicators but she loves the class and he's a great teacher so get the word out to everyone please the dual enrollment it's it's here and it's very effective my 11th grader he's in his 12th and 13th college class this term so um it's an amazing opportunity can't price if you don't mind me say on that too we had we sat through a training um with the school services on and some of the they showed up some of the figures on it as far as the growth of it and it's really doing its intended purpose which started out it started out small grow growing grown but it gave us a graph on the growing areas okay one of the areas is our area as far
049as what it considers um Inland Empire and desert and all in that area because it's the rule areas it's underserved areas that's the intended purpose of the dual enrollment to get those kids that maybe may not have it right outside of their door like kids that live in bigger cities um to be able to have access to this and realize they can do it and those are the grow that was one of the big growth areas that and it's interesting the like was getting a lot of females they were a big figure um as far as getting getting access to it and having as far as them G gaining credits so it is really is doing everything that was intended out of this it's it's doing Serving its purpose so it was exciting to hear
050a lot of different things we heard yesterday that maybe we didn't know and new things coming up constantly on this it's kind of growing and fast on us and and I've said it before I've got a kid that just started college this year she um was able to start the college she didn't even know that all the dual enrollment classes she took and I think it was seven by the first oh maybe it's n but by the first uh semester she was considered a sophomore which doesn't matter so much except for parking because doesn't have to park a mile out and uh she had a higher priority for registration um and just having those two aspects easier for a kid it just makes life easier and and getting you know like my ninth graders in
051this biology class and it's not easy it's a tough class but if you can pass that class you can probably pass any college class so it's a tough class but kids stick to it and parents please get your kids uh some free college before they leave High School how many kids do we have currently I think we said like 25% of our kids have taken a d yeah they are either concurrent or in the Cort in the Cort we still have about we have about 30 kids in the cohort that will move on now we have a second so you're saying 25% of Tak students in high school so about 150 Tak have taken a course because you're talking about the art courses you know his like K son who have gone outside to take
052courses so it's not Spanish there's all kinds of things yes yeah jumping to the second last thing on the agenda I think it would be great when the time's right I would love to see how a presentation to see how the year went see the numbers how many kids dropped out how many kids finished successfully what their feelings were about it what the next steps are what the problems are what they need from us to be successful and long-term goals I mean it would be great if if it's the right thing to do but you know have making it a requirement where you have to take a class or to graduate you know as you say that that's probably something we should put on as far as me being going talking with the kids okay
053go the end going okay what went right what can we do better I'm curious how many kids dropped out or had to drop out or like how that whole thing goes you decide toop L five if there's left I'd love to know the demographic breakdown too would be really interesting especially gender it's it's crazy every time I see article after article about the number of males going to college aspl comp girls and it showed in that report too that we saw yeah show for dual enrollment that females is more than triple the the number of kidss from I forget the base year but it was like 2020 or so to to to 2023 it's triple and and for Hispanic students it's triple overall students yeah exactly all right so I have any last comments right

057like yes we have yeah and and and based on a few incidents I think we to adjust the issue is there's apprehension of calling emergency services because some parents are saying oh I didn't want you to do that well if we put it in a board policy that you must do that then then theight administrators can blame us all right we'll adjourn the meeting at 6
