001Sorry for the little delay. Uh this is a chart Unified School District Board of Trustee meeting a in close session. Actually, I'm sorry. Roll. All members are here except for Mrs. Flores and that'll take us into the reports out of close session. In close session, the governing board took the following action. During close session, the board voted to approve a settlement agreement in special education case SE 2024 04 to approve the settlement agreement as presented. The motion was made by Dr. Agular, seconded by Mrs. Maguire. Vote was four and 40 in favor of with Mrs. Flores being absent. And Dr. Kim, pledge of allegiance. All right. All right. It is my uh pleasure to uh introduce the proud principal of Glenn Oak Elementary School, Miss Sharon Greavves, to uh come and welcome and introduce her

002uh recognitions today. And we'll start first with the pledge of allegiance. You know, Jacob is a remarkable fifth grade student who has made a strong impression in his first year at Glenn Oak. Known for bravery and willingness to take on challenges, Jacob describes himself as someone who does hard things, and his actions prove it. Whether helping a classmate, greeting someone with a kind word, or stepping up as a leader, Jacob consistently demonstrates character and compassion. His teacher calls him a well-rounded student who is always willing to lend a hand not only to his peers but also to her. And she praises his respectful and hardworking nature. As a principal, I've had the opportunity to observe how quickly Jacob has become a role model on our campus. He is trusted and admired by students and staff

003for his friendly deme demeanor, strong sense of responsibility, and a genuine care for others. His mother shares that Jacob is an amazing big brother and a role he takes to heart with the same warmth and kindness he shows at school. With his easy smile and welcoming personality, Jacob has built many friendships and helped to posture foster a positive spirit on the Gleno campus. As Glenn's principal, I am proud and honored to bring Jacob Guerrero as a soaring eagle who is known by students and staff for modeling our pledge to show respect, offer kindness, always be safe and responsible. Jacob Guerrero. [Applause] one. [Applause] your baby brother. [Applause] Next, I'd like to introduce our superstar student, Lexi Marie Guerrero. Do I have anybody from Lex's family? I know they were going to try and make it

004tonight. Well, today is our Disney field trip for sixth grade. And as much as Lexi wanted to see all of you, she chose Disney. I know, shocked, but there it is. Nonetheless, I'd like to honor Lexi tonight. Um, we are proud to recognize Lexi, a student who exemplifies kindness, strength of character, and academic excellence. Lexi is respectful, hardworking, and a leader who stands out not only for her achievements, but for her willingness to support others. She is known for being an excellent listener and thoughtful helper, always stepping up when needed and offering a hand to classmates and her teachers alike. Whether in the classroom or in the community, Lexi leads with compassion and determination. Outside of school, Lexi is active in both dance and youth ministry. at her church. She demonstrates a commitment with her

005passion and values. Her involvement speaks to motivation, discipline, and a sense of purpose. All qualities that shine through in her daily interactions at Glenn Oak and beyond. Those who know her best recognize Lexi not just for what she accomplishes, but with her integrity. Mrs. Hansen, her teacher, shares, "Lexi is friendly and thoughtful. She cares about others, always willing to help classmates. She's hardworking and has excelled academically this year. She sets a good example for others and is an asset in the classroom. That sentiment is echoed by our care team who admire Lex's conscientious nature and deep concern for the sa safety and well-being of those around her. Lexi is known at Glenn Oak as a courageous by upstander, someone who does not hesitate to speak out against bullying and unkindness. She consistently shows bravery, kindness,

006and a strong sense of justice. Her character combined with outstanding ex academic performance and leadership make her a shining example of what it means to be a Glenn Oak Scholar. We are proud to honor Lexi Guerrero for all that she is and all that she commu all that she contributes to the Gleno community. So Lexi Guerrero and just checking anybody from Lex's family. Okay, they weren't able to be here tonight. one please. And the partner in education. Yes. It it is with great pride that I introduce our partner in education, Mrs. T. Mika Traviso. Ma, would you join me? Ma is our partner in education and Glenn Oak's wonderful librarian. So Ma has brought an incredible mix of energy, kindness, and talent to everything she touches. As a librarian, she is the heart of the

007campus. Always on the hunt for the perfect book, the latest in educational tech, or a creative way to engage students, her library is more than a room full of books. It's a welcoming space where students are inspired to read. Ma also leads our book fairs with style and smiles, turning them into schoolwide events that raise important funds and lots of excitement. Before joining education more than 20 years ago, just yesterday, Ma had a globalling career in international finance and IT. She left the highrises and airport lounges behind to raise her two amazing daughters and follow her heart into education and libraries. Her oldest daughter now works in IT and finance and her younger youngest is a junior at Walnut High School exploring a possible path in either nursing or maybe biomed sciences. Mrs. Te's husband

008works at City of Hope in IT. So whether it's home or school, there's no shortage of tech support or brain power in the Traviso household. Mika's contribution at Glenn Oak doesn't stop at the library. She's the proud architect of Glenn Oak's pickle ball program. Yes, you heard that right. She researched equipment, helped the district stripe the courts, and taught the game to both students and teachers. Though some of us are still confused as to why this game is called pickle ball and we've not seen any p pickles at Glenn Oak. Frankly, we're a little disappointed. Mika's efforts were even featured in a national pickle ball publication. Say that three times fast. Which we think makes Ma officially famous. A couple of years ago, Mika stepped up to help coach our March Madness basketball team, encouraging

009students to join in and have fun. Whether she's handing out paddles, books, or heartfelt advice, Ma brings a genuine spirit of inclusion and joy. Oh, and tomorrow you'll find her at our AR carnival m managing our entire AR store and selling items for AR tickets. Mika's also been known to quietly make sure every student walks away with a little something, even if they're just a few tickets short. Your secret safe with us. Mika's techsavvy BA background also keeps her at the cutting edge while she leads with heart and discernment. Most recently, she explored a new AI program designed to match students and their interest with books. Curious and thorough as always, Mika demoed it herself and quickly realized it asked too many personal questions and became a bit too friendly. She made a thoughtful choice

010to pass on the program protecting vulnerable students hearts and minds. That's Ma always doing what's right for kids even when no one's watching. We're lucky to have someone who uses her knowledge not just to innovate but to advocate for and protect all of our eagles. Mrs. T is so much more than a librarian. She's an innovator, a coach, a cheerleader, a tech advisor, a role model, and a friend. She brings laughter, learning, and a sense of belonging to Glenn Oak and our library and throughout the entire campus. We're incredibly proud to recognize Mik Shore Viso as this year's partner in education for Glenn Oak. And we're even prouder to call her a soaring eagle and member of the Glenn Oak family for life. Mika Travis Oliver. looking good. Yes. Photo. Sorry. One second. Better. [Applause]

011Yes. All right, that is going to take us to the recognition of our student representatives, the board of trustees. This is both a a happy time for us because you get to graduate, but it's also a sad time for us because you're moving on. Okay. the role you guys played is immense because we as adults think we have the pulse of the district but whereas you really have the pulse of the district. So we appreciate your insight and giving us information that we need to hear about what's really going on in the schools. Um hopefully you got as much out of it as we got from you and we look forward to seeing what you do in the next steps of your life. With that I believe we have some gifts for them. Dr. Kim,

Uh and we uh the board would like to present some plaques to you as well as Lori. Let's uh showcase this um as a surprise.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Good job, Mitchell. [Applause] All right. It's always exciting to see you guys progress as it goes and we're looking forward to seeing everything that you do. It's going to be amazing. Uh, moving on. The recognition of Charter Oaks Varsity League Champions, the softball team. They're actually not here

013because they played a game today, but they were undefeated in the Valley Vista League and they're the league champions. Uh, and they're playing a softball game today, division three against Huntington Beach, I believe. Huntington Beach. We're in division one for playoffs. Oh, division one for playoffs. So, we played I mean that's Yeah, it doesn't get any better than that. But, uh I don't believe they are here, right, Matt? No. So, yeah, I was kind of surprised on this one. They were 16 and0 during the regular season. Um and got put into the division one because of their stellar record. Faced a very difficult, undefeated team as well. and they came back and lost by one run in the final inning on a last minute play at the fence. So, yeah, they're not here tonight, but

014um yeah, we do really uh want to tell them how proud we are of their their amazing season. So, yeah. Thank you, Matt. We'll give an opportunity to try to recognize them in their June meeting. Okay. Excellent. Thank you, sir. Thanks, Matt. And now we're going to recognize another part of our charter sports teams. Well, our sports medicine team. And if you've seen them out there at any of the events, you've seen this group of people pile onto a golf cart and they are all over the place. It's amazing how many people actually fit on that thing. It's like a clown car, but it's not going to fly. But but uh the kids do a fantastic job in taking care of our student athletes, and I'd be willing to bet that you guys get more

015steps in than some of the football players do during the game. So, uh with that, Dr. Yes. Um, Mr. Douls, principal at Chartered High School, if you can uh introduce uh Dr. Matt Simyok and as well as uh the entire team, please. I will definitely make this short just because I can't even pronounce half the words they work with on a daily basis. So, I'll have Dr. Simyuk explain why they are the number one sports medicine program in the entire state of California. So, Dr. Sim, if you want to come up and introduce your team, I'd appreciate it. Yep. Perfect. Yeah. So, um, for the last I don't know how many years we've been competing in the, uh, AACI Sports Medicine tournament as well as HOSA. Um, every year we've competed in HOSA, we've made

016it to state, and for AACI, we've made it to nationals every year. Um, this is our repeat championship. Uh we were the number one school last year in uh the western United States and we continue to be the number one school this year um for the AACI tournament. Um this is the first year we've had enough students qualify for nationals to compete as an entire school. Um so we'll be competing or representing Charter Oak um tomorrow. Uh and that will be our president uh Ezekiel VZ Klein who's ranked number one in the next our vice president Angelina Wang who's also or who's ranked number two in the West Coast. We'll have uh Nana Trapathy our clinic manager who's ranked I don't remember everyone's rankings top 25. I will have David Estrada who's uh ranked number

017one as well in his division. We'll have Molly Gelino who ranked number one in her or number three in her division. We'll have Ty Linger, our next year's vice president. And we'll have Daisy Llamas, who's not here, but Oh, she's here. Sorry, Daisy. I didn't see you. and we'll have Daisy competing tomorrow as well. Um uh these Thank you. these kids have put in an insane amount of work. Um I believe uh the total average for some of them like Zeke and Angelina who's who's my first four-year students. Uh they've amassed about I think about 3 to 5,000 hours of internship. Um so they've quite literally dedicated their high school lives to sports medicine. And so it's really nice to be able to recognize them for their hard work and really proud of all of

018them. Uh ne or in two weeks, the day after three of our uh four um seniors graduate for our national anatomage tournament, we're going to be flying out at like 4:30 in the morning the day after they graduate to Las Vegas to compete for nationals in anatomage. Um where we were the number one ranked school uh number one seed going into that tournament. So that's our first time competing in that and we're really excited. and Zeke has given us our vote of confidence that we're bringing back that national championship. So really excited for that. Yeah. change the tough Everybody, two [Applause] All right, we're going to move on to the student representative report.

Hello again. As I stand before the board today, from the bottom of my heart, I genuinely want to say thank you for having me and making me my student representative making my student rec representative experience incredibly outstanding. When I entered my senior year, I was absolutely done with high school and was just ready for the next chapter of my life. However, when Mr.

026Doultz asked me to become student representative, I won't lie, I felt nervous, unprepared, and even questioned my capabilities to execute the position. But I am so, so happy I said yes to serving in this position. Besides my family, I have never felt so much love, appreciation, and support from a group of incredibly successful educators and leaders outside the classroom. I am thankful for this opportunity. It made my senior year worthwhile and gave me a meeting to look forward to once a month. My blue pants and Letterman's jacket never got old and I was proud to represent the blue and gold that strings within my district. Each of you, thank you for the memories and for believing I am capable and bright. I will never forget this core experience and I'm glad I was an asset

So, again, personally, professionally, this is just a great time uh to be part of our school district and part of the season. So, with that, that concludes uh my report. Thank you, Dr. Kim. That'll take us to public comments. Do we have any cards? Kim Hopstein. Hopstein, I'm sorry. [Applause] All right, Mrs. Hook. [Applause] Thank you, Miss. All right, that'll take us to uh item 13, discussion. Uh this is to the board. This is the first reading. All language has been updated as part of CSBA's process of for review of materials so that is consistent with changes of law,

035regulations, new guidance, and other directions. Discussion will follow. Staff discussion will allow for staff to make adjustments and modifications as needed and those are for bylaws 9224 oath or affirmation bylaw 9260 legal protection and bylaw 9000 role of the board Dr. Kim that's just opportunity uh for the board to open a discussion around these so that staff can u adjust as necessary and um Mr. President we'll allow for a discussion Miss McGuire, can we have a summary of them, please, or overview? Sure. Board by line 9224 deals with oath or affirmation. This relates to uh the role that you play in affirming that you are abiding by the roles described as a uh prescribed as a board member, board trustee. uh board bylaw 9260 are the legal protections afforded to you as trustees in terms

036of acting in the capacity of your role as a trustee uh liability pro protections uh will be applied and finally board bylaw 9000 deals with the role of the board and us utilizes CSV's language as it relates to your role uh in terms of setting and guiding uh the district moving forward. Mr. Rose 450. I would recommend feeling missing by 9,000. So I think Mr. Rose, we have the opportunity to to kind of address that here uh and provide some of that commentary. Um but I'm curious as to exactly which pages you are referring to in in regards to board policy 9000. uh the specific areas where something is struck but placed. I just want to know if um it if I may on just the strikethroughs on the suggested language. Again, this is offered

037by CSBA. A striketh through is not a diminishing of the role of the board. A striketh through is uh replacing outdated language and either including it elsewhere or adding it in an area that is uh more appropriate in terms of uh how they've organized the language. Um part of what we've uh over time have not done is that the language or this specific bylaw was originally adopted in 1997 and it was last reviewed in 2006. And so um over time in the last almost 20 years there's always updates to language that are made by CSBA. We are use utilizing the most updated one uh up to this point and Mr. Mr. Rose, I um one specific area or concern he addressed was about the um role of the superintendent or employment as that matters. It's

038addressed in uh item two in the revised language. three and four. Uh and the revised language um shares that uh the organizational structure for the district by employing employing the superintendent and setting policy for hiring of other personnel overseeing of the development and adoption of policies so on and so forth. So although some things were taken out, redacted other things were put in. So they're rephrasing the language associated with it. Yes. So I think for clarity, anything in blue is something new. And so if it's blue and struck, that's a deletion of something that was previously in existence. But anything that is blue and not struck is all new language. So when we come down there, I think it's point 2 towards the bottom of the screen. Um there it talks about in 2A employing

039the superintendent setting policy for hiring of other personnel. So it's kind of a simplification of a paragraph that used to exist. So scrolling further down if if you might u thank you um there's an area where it says superintendent selection and evaluation I think this is on page two towards the bottom of page two and so that's text or language that previously existed also speaking to that same process but that's the language that is being replaced so that's removed and what's being added is what's at the top one that struck out on the uh mission mission and mission for example mission entirely deleted and there's no replacement for that right in other words we're not going to have a mission at all um my understanding is as I read the CSBA uh modified language what

040they what they modified and um accurate to what Dr. Agular is sharing is they made it more a simplistic view or simplified view of it. And on item one instead of specifying a mission and vision statement which is pretty prescriptive. Uh they they cited uh the board will set the direction for the district uh through a process that involves a community, parents, guardians, students and staff and is focused on student learning achievement. Essentially what we often refer to as a vision or mission. Yeah. So there just three, right? But I think in this case being broad here is actually of a benefit. Um because when the language is more specific, there is sometimes inherently restriction with that versus being broader then actually opens up more of an opportunity for the board to be able to

041be involved in that process in a way that we as a board determine is is appropriate. I'll think about more conversation 9000. There might also be just simple some maybe simple formatting or or maybe I'm just looking at this in the wrong way. Still here in in 9,000 maybe back up towards the top as we kind of go through page one and page two. Um, with the new numbering, I think there might be a few numbers that kind of jump out of order. So, there might be a few things to look at there just to correct the order of some of the numbering. Okay. So, we'll bring that back for a second reading. Have more discussion on it if needed at that time. All right. We'll move on to action items. Uh A1, we're going

042to pull that which is the joint use le use le use le use le use le use le use le use le use le use le use lease agreement with San Gable Valley RO that'll be pulled and can I get a motion for um resolution 062425 bring that forward. I'll make the motion. Can I get a second? I'll second it. Mr. Rose second. Okay. Any discussion on that? Dr. Kim, you have anything on this? Okay, I'll go ahead and call for the vote. Dr. Angular, yes. Mrs. McGuire, yes. Mr. Rose, yes. I'm also a yes. Motion passes 4 Z. Or the resolution passes. Uh takes us to action item B1, the SIPA, school plan for student achievement. Can I get a motion to bring that forward? I'll make a motion. Can I get a second?

052Um, and looking forward to eventual collaboration with potentially developing that or continuing to develop that into dual enrollment offerings which is going to be a major benefit to our students.

053Well, first I want to say happy belated Mother's Day to all the moms and the caregivers in the audience. uh because if it wasn't for us, we just wouldn't have all these awesome children in our district. So, uh kudos to us for that. Um it's graduation season. I am trying to get through meetings and public speaking without crying because my child is graduating and it is hard work and I don't know how you guys have handled this. Uh it is tough stuff. Um, I went to the retirement party today for our retirees and Maria looks fabulous. She is glowing. I know. And uh, how amazing has it been to like work a career and actually get to enjoy the fruits of retirement. So, congratulations to you and to all the other retirees. Um, I uh

054I'm I'm sad when I hear that the teachers don't feel appreciated. Um, that makes me sad and um I my words do not uh pay your bills. That that is true. But I want to make sure that I say uh that we all appreciate you you guys. We do. Uh we uh some of us have attended schools and you've taught taught them uh taught some of our board members. Um our children uh have gone through the schools and been taught by you all. So, um, while I know these are words, I do want you to know that we really do appreciate you guys. Um, and also appreciate, uh, the strength and bravery that it takes to come up here, uh, and talk about things, you know, at public comment. It's tough. Um, and even the

055best public speakers have nerves when it comes to having to speak in a public meeting. So, uh, thank you for doing that. Uh, we do appreciate you. Um, and I hope you do enjoy the celebration that comes uh this week to or next week to to show our appreciation. Um, I think the last thing Oh, yes. In Missouri and Logan, I'm I'm happy that they left early so that I wouldn't have to cry during this public comment because it's been really tough. Um, and I've gotten to spend a lot of time with them, gotten to know Logan really well. And you're right, he's he's he's such a great student. Um, and he's very proud of being able to serve our country. and uh you know that's like the utmost honor uh for someone to be

056able to serve our country in that way. So uh much respect to him. Um with that I just want to you know say uh Memorial Day is coming up and it is a time for us to honor uh our fallen soldiers. So if you do have um veterans and and those who have passed on um in military service, I do want to wish you a happy Memorial Day and send my prayers to you during this season. Thank you Dr. Aguular. Great. Thank you. Um, tonight when we were honoring the sports medicine team, uh, Dr. Simok mentioned about the use of the anomage table in preparation and training in which now our members of the team, our students have been ranked number one and are going to compete. And what really struck me is it was

057not long ago, about a year or so, um, that the district was able to acquire that particular instrument. And for those that maybe aren't totally familiar with it, that instrument is a very uh technologically advanced simulation of a cadaabver for autopsy. It's essentially the closest thing you're going to get to having a human cadaabver, which we won't have here at our high school currently. But having this virtual opportunity, uh it's it's quite an amazing piece of technology, uh an amazing investment using uh the appropriate CTE funds to be able to procure that and then have the students master it. So much so in just that year that now they're ranked number one in the country. I mean it just speaks to what can happen when you have amazing talented students and equip them um and

058surround them by important uh teaching and instruments and all of the above. So I think that's really fantastic. I thought that was a great story uh for us to hear today. Uh in this season of celebration uh we had a chance uh yesterday evening to attend the Destiny Masonic Lodge outstanding student awards in which they honored a student from each of our high schools and also our each of our middle schools including Oaknull Virtual Academy. Um and that was also outstanding to see some of our amazing students up there receiving awards. We have students that are amazing swimmers that are aspiring to swim in the LA28 Olympics. That was outstanding. We have students that are serving as our validictori or have earned the designation of the validictorian at the high school and are going to

059be studying chemical engineering at the next level. Uh we have students going on to amazing place, amazing things. So congratulations to all them and of course to all of the students that are going to be graduating and promoting. Uh I happen to I always look forward to attending as many of the celebrations I can every year and I've usually done multiple. In this particular year, I get to see a nephew of mine promote from Willow Elementary. I get to see a niece of mine uh promote from Royal Oak and then I also get to see a nephew of mine graduate from the high school all in the same year. So, we have all these major transitions. It'll be fun. So, look forward to celebrating with everyone in the community and celebrating the amazing accomplishments of

060our students. So, great job kids. Thanks. All right. Just want to echo what my my peers have said, especially about the teachers. You know, what we have at our schools is because of the teachers. We appreciate everything you do and all the efforts you're putting forward along with the administrators. We celebrated several kids today and it's because of the teachers and especially the the uh sports medicine team. Matt is just every time I go to that school, Matt's there. He's running around doing things and he's he's a great addition to our school and he's amazing with those kids. So, we're very fortunate. uh and congratulations to them for their accomplishments. Uh it is celebration year, a celebration time. I'm looking forward to it because this senior itis in my school is just incredible. Uh but

061I'm trying to get all my finals in before the finals go. And these kids are just driving me crazy with all I I say this every year is I have 260 kids in my classes and I I assign an essay for a final. But what I don't think about is I have to read 260 essays. But uh it is what it is. That's my own fault. But uh I appreciate all their efforts and and I know the kids are pushing hard to get forward. I mean, they just got done with testing and now they're moving on. Um I know my kids ready to go. She's ready to jump into the high school. uh at the middle school they just had a cabaret at the Laugh Factory which was the final uh performance for the eighth

062graders. It was a great show, but was also great is that the city partners offered that facility for free for our kids to use. Um and it was a great experience for them. And it's good to see that our city partners are still working with us. The businesses are working with us to benefit our kids. uh the sports teams, the softball, sports medicine, baseball, tennis, I think no swimming was earlier. Uh that season came to a close for all of them, but they represented our school very well. I've I was had several track meets, softball, a baseball game, but those kids, student athletes are amazing that they're able to perform at such a high level while still making sure their academics are taken care of. So, uh we have a lot of good things going

063on in this in this district. We're very fortunate that we have the people in place who we do to lead our kids. So, thank you again to all the teachers. Uh on Saturday there's a seven on seven football tournament at Ferrar Stadium. Uh how many? 24 24 schools. Ry, a lot. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of schools who are going to be there. Yeah, they're going to be playing at the field. Football field, on the baseball field, on the soccer field. They're all over the place. If you get an opportunity, it's fun to go watch. I mean, it's not tackle or anything like that, but it is fun to see these kids out there pushing in a getting ready to participate on Friday Night Lights and uh it's a fun event and and

064Dominic does a great job in organizing that entire event and there's team top teams from all over Southern California going to be there. Um and with that being said there is no need for our next meeting is June 12th which is a study board session on the LCAP budget and LCAP and there's no need for further closed session. So we'll go ahead and end the meeting at 806. Thank you.
