Mrs. Angela Reed, bring the chair. I like and love watching
004Mrs. Key. Good evening, designated superintendent and cabinet member. As we begin a new school year, we are reminded of the incredible opportunity we have, not only to support our students, but also to invest in the people who keep our schools running smoothly. Our classified staff every day. These are for professionals, yard supervisors, administrative staff, assistance staff, janitors, and many others. They are often the first to greet students in the morning and the last to say goodbye. They are in front of everyone, but all too often they fall behind when it comes to consistent opportunities for professional growth. I am here tonight to advocate for increased investment in training and professional development for our classified personnel. These employees are essential to the success of our students and school communities. CBCO is committed to partnering with the
005district to build a strong and accessible professional learning structure , one that uplifts our members and directly improves student outcomes. Together we can design a system that is thoughtful, meaningful, and rooted in the real needs of our schools. One way to start is to use the conference weeks in September and March to offer specific training sessions selected by the district. These could include topics such as social-emotional learning strategies, math support, reading interventions, and phonics instruction. This type of training not only develops skills, but also builds confidence, consistency, and a shared sense of purpose across all schools. We also propose strengthening our orientation process for new employees, a structured three- to four-hour training that incorporates best practices in educational support, behavior management, and collaboration with teachers to give our new teacher employees the foundation they need
006to succeed and stay, because professional development is not just about compliance, and that encourages the entire school community to work together this year to make that vision a reality, where every employee feels seen, supported, and equipped to have a lasting impact. Thank you. Chula Vista educators, Rosy Martinez. Good night. I hope everyone has had the opportunity to take a vacation, to rest. He seems very excited because there are students who are going to be, uh, sorry, employees who are going to be reclassified from their provisional status. Congratulations also to all those who are going to be hired, to the new hires or to the people who are being promoted and also to the people who are going to work in the community schools. We are so excited that you are here. To those who have
007served our district, we extend our thanks for their contribution in making this a magnificent district and wish them all the best in the next chapter. There is an article in the consent calendar and it is article 10U and it is the point uh with the contract with a company called Alliance and this is to hire teachers and also in our dual immersion programs. This program is not unique to Chula Vista. We believe that this agreement gives access to teachers who truly have the best resources to provide the best possible education. I want to make it very clear that CBE can only support this with a memorandum of understanding that teachers will be hired . I have had conversations with Dr. Reyes and he has assured me that no teachers will be hired until this memorandum
008of understanding is signed. With that understanding, I encourage you to please support this article. I hope we have a positive and productive year. And remember that CBE always likes a collaborative relationship so that everyone feels welcome in schools. I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the school year. Chulavista Administrators Association, Mrs. Teresa Corona. Good evening, President Ugarte, Mrs. Key, and members of the board. as a precedent for AAV. I want to thank the board of directors on behalf of our campus leaders. I want to acknowledge our principals and assistant principals who just returned today from a summer break to ACB. We recognize the work of the leadership and also recognize and appreciate everything that has happened behind the scenes to prepare for a new school year. That is very important for support and collaboration
009and planning what the members need. As we begin a new school year. I hope everyone comes back prepared, and the leaders will have a big job reviewing data, aligning it with district priorities, and also making sure the rigorous learning plan for everyone works. Directors and deputy directors will work to create a welcoming environment where staff also feel supported at ACB. He wants planning, clarity, and strength, inspired by the belief that this can be one of great growth and excellence. And on behalf of AACB, we want to partner and collaborate professionally with the district this coming year and we look forward to working together and achieving what we can all together. Thank you so much. Thank you. Oral communications. The oral communications section offers the public the opportunity to address the education board only on the
010topics included in the agenda. Those who wish to be heard may attend in person and must complete a request to be heard card and submit it to the secretary before the start of the meeting. Speakers are requested to limit their remarks to 3 minutes and to speak in a respectful and professional manner. The Ecuación board will limit the total time for public participation on each topic to 20 minutes. With the consent of the board, the president may increase or decrease the permissive time allowed for comments. The board cannot legally take action and respond to matters that are not included on the public agenda due to the government code. We have three people. The first one is Annie. Hello, board members, and good evening. My name is Ani and I am a student at Liberty School.
011Today I'm going to be talking about the effect of class combinations and the effects of losing art. First of all, this year I was in fifth grade and I was in a combined fifth and sixth grade class and I felt separated from my friends. It was a very ugly feeling. I only saw them during lunch and recess, and that was it. I felt separate from those people and I also felt like a sixth grader because my teacher was preparing all the sixth graders for when they went to high school. So I felt like a sixth grader, and it was difficult. I cried a lot and said a lot of things and I was very, very frustrated. And also all the fifth-grade English students had to be in a fifth-grade class because there was one fourth-grade
012class, one fifth-grade class, and another fifth-grade class. So, none of the fifth graders could be with their grade. And the art effects. Art is a place where people can express their creativity and feel comfortable. Art is a safe space where people can say everything they want to say, express themselves, and have a good time with their friends. And art is also really fun, it's a very joyful thing and for some students it helps with their mental health. to be able to draw their thoughts, their ideas. Art is very important to me and to other students as well. Thank you for listening tonight. Thank you, Sara. And she did very well, that was my daughter and she's going to be very good, she does a better job than me. Members of the board and cabinet, I
013am Mrs. Good and I have two students who attend CBSD and I am speaking on behalf of teachers and families at Liberty School. We understand that there will be more combination classes this school year. When we were allowed to return in 2021, there was a vapa program that included music, drama, and physical education. In Monterey, California, we didn't have anything consistent. My son does n't like school and never has . The classes that were through Bapa allowed him to demonstrate his skills outside the academic environment of the classroom. secondary school in Arroyo Vista. He enjoys his physical education class because he is a very athletic child. When he attended Liberty Elementary, he liked going to the stations, he loved the sound station. I believe the program played a very important role in these interests because
014they can be created and can be expressed through creativity. My daughter spoke about the benefits of the Bapa program and I am also speaking for her; secondly, I am here to talk about combination classes. Ah, my daughter has been part of two combo classes and she has already spoken about her experience. Her friend has also been part of a combo class her whole life. ACB says that every child is an individual of great value and that's why we are allowing children to be in combined classes at Liberty School and throughout the district. I want to know why children are not involved in the decision-making process for combination classes, when they have to implement the curriculum for two different grades in one classroom, and why the district doesn't hold informational meetings for parents where we can
015express our concerns and the challenges of a combination class. How are we doing what's best for children when we're putting them in combo classes? They have to meet common standards in each content area for each grade. And when it's time for lunch and collaborative classes, classes where there are students with IPIS and 504 plans, students who are English learners and who are not independent learners. Teachers want to support everyone learning in their classroom so they can teach equitably. They ca n't. How do schools make their decisions? Uh, having combination classes or not. Students in combination classes do not receive a full day of instruction. How are we going to prepare them for their academic journey? Not all CBE students have the support to close the education gaps. We are concerned about the well-being of teachers
016and students because someone who wants to be a teacher needs to see a good way. I sent them some letters and copies of petitions. Our petition has 59 signatures from Liberty teachers and families. I hope our concerns will be heard by the superintendent, the cabinet, and the board of directors. In the Modesto district there were 33 combination classes and currently they have four or five. According to the Modesto Teachers Association , [Music] they were listened to. Thank you for your time. Cristi M is the next person who will speak. Good night. Today I want to talk about equality. as a budget option. Uh, Rogers School is not a normal school. 207 out of 380 are in special education. More than 55% of our enrollment, our count of impossible nothing. The Rogers School. I also led
017the district in its pensions. Who is it? I don't know . These are indicators of need and schools. Rogers has the same allocation for counselors as the other schools, and we need a full-time counselor for mental health support. They are allocating 42 million for students with special needs. Our Elpack does not speak of a safe environment and the research is clear. Having school counselors benefits the school. I want a full-time counselor for our students. The need is very clear. Equity means recognizing which schools need more support. I am asking the board for complete transparency on how these allocations will be matched to the goals of Chapter 1. Our students don't need empty promises. Thank you. Approval of the consensual schedule. The following items under the consent schedule must be approved in one action. There are
018no discussions beforehand, unless it is requested that items be taken out or withdrawn. So, members of the board, sorry, I got ahead of myself. Uh, we need to talk about the district's health and safety update, Mr. Romero. I wanted to move forward. Thank you, President Ugarte. Board of Directors, Ms. KC, I'm going to present our monthly update. I'm so excited to let you know that all the cameras are now in the schools and working. Our security team has access, risk management has access, and all schools are ready. I also want to tell you that our district office has them too. We have 20 cameras in the district offices that are already up and running. The one that is still in progress is the Maxwell, which is where the transport office is located. Last month I
019talked about traffic plans. These are the six schools that qualify. for a traffic study and update because these are areas for improvement, but these schools are the ones using the public street and we have been doing things to change the traffic. These six schools, the plan, this traffic of these schools is in the hands of the city of Chulavista and later we are going to have an approval that I will share with you, but they said that in the meantime we can continue what we have been doing and the city is approving that process because in the past we have, uh, how do you say it? I've changed the traffic. So, this is one of our schools. You have been to Hellcrest School. This is where we put cones to change the direction of traffic.
020Uh, the black dots represent the cones we put out and that we're blocking in traffic. And the second set of cones is so that parents can leave without having to stop traffic. The next project we want to talk about is what we have pending: these articles that I want, which is EDT in bleeding. We have Met, which is involved in this program and has ordered kids for all the schools and the forgiveness station, the project for the water stations, the project is underway and to be completed in the 2526 school year. We have our water stations already working and also in our program on workplace violence. We're wrapping up, and it's going to be specifically in Chula Vista, and a video will be made for the 2025-2026 school year. And that's all I have for
021now, questions or comments. Thank you, Mr. Romero. I know who he is. Yesterday we went to the city council and they approved operating the electric micromobile vehicles. Ah, I know what you're talking about. They're saying that children under 12 can no longer use electric bicycles . My question is whether it's illegal for them to arrive at the school and go very fast. They showed videos of these kids there in Palomar, going really fast, and in Olympic, and it's really dangerous, and that's why they're going to start reinforcing this law. We have to notify the schools because we have this in all our elementary schools and in some middle and high schools because they're going to get a fine. It's for everyone's safety. That was yesterday in article 83. I think it's important that we follow
022up on this and inform the families, and also where they are supposed to handle these things. Water stations, not specifically the ones you are working on, but all schools, no matter where the school is located. Can someone check them, please? because it's going to be very hot and the children are going to be drinking whatever comes out of there. And thank you for the cameras in all the schools. Do our union partners have any other concerns? Oh, thank you very much. We meet monthly with our unions and one of the latest concerns is workplace safety and violence in the work environment. There has been concern and we have been listening to the unions. I might want to paraphrase. Are there any concerns that haven't been addressed? Well, violence in the workplace was one of them,
023but with specific concerns. Well, we are here, so you are welcome to listen to them. Thank you for your report, Mr. Romero. I think it's now the consent calendar. The following are considered by the erect table in an action there will be no discussion unless the members or the public require that specific items be removed . So, starting with Ramírez Domínguez, uh, any article that you want to remove. 10 B, 10O, 10P and you mentioned that 10S is a public hearing and 10T 10C G and B 10K Kip and S. The P 10T, 10U and 10 W. Mr. Tamayo, we are not taking out the articles and I will try to do this in alphabetical order. 10C G subsection AB 10 C 10N 10O 10T 10U B and W. Then I request a motion to
024approve the consent schedule. I second that. Secretary, please call the votes. Toston Domínguez Cervantes, Tamayo, Ugarte. The motion passes unanimously. I would like to begin with article 10 today and I believe that was Mrs. Dominguez Cervantes. Yes, let me read it. It's an agreement with the Alliance group. I appreciate that Mrs. Martinez said it because my question is, how is this possible? How does it work? As? At what level is the approval of a host school agreement with the International Alliance Group to receive foreign exchange teachers? I want to know what's in it for CBSD. Great question. And I was very excited because it's a project and we want to make sure that we are transparent and clear about this project. This would be an agreement with the International Alliance group, which is a non-profit
025organization whose primary obligation is to bring in fully credentialed teachers, and for most of our positions we have filled, but there are some that are very difficult to fill. You mentioned it frequently, special education classrooms. This organization works with international candidates who have their licenses and credentials and have the possibility of teaching in California, they have experience and the expected cost that you were expecting you to present, for example. If there is a teacher who comes with 5 years of experience, they get paid, but where the district saves money is one. We do not pay for their retirement because they are not eligible to be part of STS. Let's say they're earning 100,000, that's 19,000 we don't have to spend. 19.1 are Savings. They provide the benefits through their organizations. It's a very large organization.
026So we're saving about $ 12,000 in benefits for each teacher we hire. They provide all the required services and all the services required for your visa. H1-Bisa and for highly qualified international employees, and they also provide training. They meet the requirements, speak English, and are given training. And who is going to assess their English? I 've seen videos of these candidates and the process they're going through. Let's say there's a position for the moderate assertion room. We've tried everything and we can't find a teacher. So we go through a process, we let them know, they check their database and they send these applicants and then there is an online fair. Okay, we have this position that's open, it's for fourth through sixth grade, moderate to severe, two students, and we have a job fair and
027we see all these candidates and then we go through the interview process. I know we have a system here in California. I don't know if this is the case in other cities. I can't say if I don't know. That was one of the questions. I know. Ms. Key, would it be possible to call a representative? Yes. Oh, they're here. thank you for having me here tonight. Can you talk about the background? And thank you very much for the questions because there's a lot to cover in the program. The J1 is what this agreement is for. It's a program that has been around since the early 1950s. Uh, the intention is an intercultural exchange. So, we are a sponsor for Y1 visas. So, these teachers are candidates who are ready to be hired and have already
028passed two background checks in their country and we have already reviewed their resume and there is a level of things that the State Department requests or requires. And when they come here they still have to pass our evaluations. How long have they been doing this in this country? Approximately between 12 and 15 years old. It had another name. With this title it has been 6 years. We have worked in 32 states. We have approximately a couple of thousand teachers, and the benefit is that you will have a highly qualified teacher for 5 years, and we rate our candidates before presenting them to you. And where do they live? Uh, we can ask the director and we'll help you with housing, and we can pay you the first month's rent and the deposit. We recently partnered
029with San Diego Unify, primarily for special education. San Mateo Inwgood, approximately 70% of the districts in Arizona. It's a magnificent program. They are highly motivated teachers and we provide them with one-on-one training. What does a one-on-one match look like? How many days? How is? Write, " One-on-one training is support for specialized teachers and also professional development before they arrive here." You work closely with our union representatives. Yes, the teachers are district employees. One question: how long does it take from when they apply until they can be given the job? At this point, the candidates for whom we have virtual interviews have already gone through all the steps with the State Department. The next step is that you interview them, you give them the job offer, and then the 1920 process, and they are interviewed at
030the United States consulate, and then they are given the visa. On average it takes 6 to 8 weeks. Spanish. We work with other districts. We also work in a Texas district , but they have to be proficient in English to pass the first filter. One of the things I discussed with Rosa Tagnesi is that we often have teachers who go on maternity leave and we can't find fully accredited teachers. So what happens is that we have one substitute going and then in 20 more days another substitute. And if they take an extended time for their connection time, then we need to extend the absences even more. I have a question regarding the scenario you just mentioned. What happens if the need for the teacher is no longer there? They are treated like any other employee.
031There is no other option, there is no obligation to return. It's a very successful program. President Ugarte. Hm. Right now, we're the only ones asking the questions. It's a moment for the president of the teachers' union to ask questions. I think it's important because it's different. I think it's a very important role that they can help us with because, as Mr. Romero said, there are many positions that have been difficult to fill. So, it was mentioned that a memorandum of understanding had to be signed, right? I would like to approve this. I would like it to be approved before we start hiring teachers, and then this will give you what you 're asking for, and the teachers' union won't sign until they're happy with it. "And I am making a motion, and I second it,"
032says Mrs. Dominguez Ramirez. Dominguez, I, Toston, I, Dominguez, Cervantes, I, Tamayo, I, Ugarte, I. The motion passes unanimously. Okay. Article 10b, the minutes, that's me. We were when I noticed when we were talking about article 11u page 227, when we were talking about 11U. I mentioned a couple of things that weren't there. I was saying, the lady is saying, that they shouldn't give the children so much sugar, that we have to make sure we're giving them food. that they need, but that they are able to concentrate. I mentioned this in the meeting and it's not reflected in the minutes, but if we're being fiscally responsible in other areas, we have to make sure we give our children not food and nutrition, not food. And also because it says here that the children first go to
033recess and then eat, we send them to the classroom and then we have to make the relationship between high sugar and behavior. I'm going to make a point of order here, and I'm going to tell the secretary to put it down because we've had this concern before with the minutes. I have done my research and reviewed Robert's laws and the only thing the minutes have to reflect is the motion and how it is voted on. So, moving forward, I want to request that because there is a lot of work that our secretary does and that the minutes only reflect who is speaking during public comments, and then the minutes should reflect who made the motion and how the vote was done. For members who have concerns about this, I pulled out the minutes from across
034the county regarding how minutes are taken, because we are creating a lot, especially with video. Anyone who wants to ask themselves something or question something, ah, can watch the video. What we need to see is who created the emotion and how it was supported. And we can put, uh, Rosy Martinez spoke about this and nothing more is said to refer the community to the video, uh, because it is so long, you have to watch it for 4 or 5 hours, it is not a request, it is not a requirement for Robert's rules. It is not required. Madam President, I thank you for promoting efficiency in the minutes and records. Then we can work on that, but we don't need to vote on it. There's more for 10B. No, I'm requesting a motion for 10B with
035the revisions. Tosten, I, Domínguez Cervantes, with the statements I made. The emotion passes article 10. And I just want to clarify, you're doing 10 CG. Yes. Okay. 10 axis in resignations. He's looking at past reasons why employees are resigning, who have had an exit survey, but to get an idea of why, why they're leaving, was it the pay, I don't know, something simple. I think we already talked about that. So yes, later on, we can have it in a quarterly update. And the next reassignment, a new job for clarity. I know we added some of these and, to be more transparent, reassignment and new employment. These are outside of CBSD, that's correct. [Music] So, I wouldn't have to reassign, I'd have to do new work. Uh, I request a motion to test 10 10. Is
036this online or in person? And classified personnel also have the opportunity to attend this training, right? At the moment. Perhaps we can see in the future, or during the school year, if it's online and they want to enrich themselves, we have to offer it to them, right? And on page 10 of 21, the description also says that we will be responsible. for the expenses. What defines reasonable and necessary? I'm going to pass the microphone to Mr. Pong. If they require you to travel here to give a presentation or something, that's what you get paid for, right? But it's paid as a refund. It's what they told you, or it is, or it is what it is. No, that's what it usually is. Next, page 10 of 21, High Steam carpet cleaning. Uh, before Christmas we
037asked for a calendar for all the schools. I don't know if we still have it, huh ? During the summer, autumn, and spring, it is during these breaks that the schools are cleaned. So, there is potential that we can have additional support to do a deeper cleaning. So, between winter and summer, all the schools are cleaned. during those holidays, during those breaks. Yes, Giovana's air conditioner is good and I want to order one to try 10C. Ramírez, Domínguez, Tolston, Domínguez Cervantes, Tamayo, Ugarte. The decision passes unanimously. Article 10N. This is the agreement with us and South Western College. I approve that our classified employee will be receiving professional development. I would love to see our classified employees have this opportunity. I only have one question. Oh, sorry. We have used it in the CAP because
038we have talked about this multiple times. I just want to know how we update it. Hey, the plans, because this is n't just going to be an expense. They will have opportunities to be in the classrooms. Okay. As you mentioned in the rigorous learning plan for everyone, it's something that's continuous, right? It's not just a one-time thing . They will receive this extra day and also training during the school year and also during the teachers' conferences . And we're also planning professional development for our instruction assistants and yard attendants, and we'll be working with CBCO to pursue that. I just want to add that if in an update to the board, you could please provide us with a schedule for these training sessions. Thank you. Ah, I propose a motion to test 10N. Ramírez Domínguez,
039Domínguez Cervantes, Ston, Tamayo, Ugarte. I, Lation, unanimously pass. Article 10 or is about adopting a resolution approving the estimated expenditures of the education protection production account 2526. Can you please tell us how this money will be spent, Mr. Pong? Yes, all the funds will be used to pay teachers. That is one action point and I ask that it be approved. I second that. Secretary Ramirez Dominguez, I. Toast me. Domínguez Cervantes, I. Tamayo, me. Hugarte yo. The motion passes 5. Article 10P. Domínguez Cervantes. Yes. Adopt the resolution that establishes the annual special taxes for community facility districts and not, and mentions several districts. I said it last year too, and I will continue to do so. Obviously this is taxes. So, in section four, this means that apart from everything else, we are going to allocate
040the proceeds of the special taxes to the total or partial payment of the expenses, in order of priority, in section four. Correct? These funds are to serve the measures, and it was what we used to build the previous schools. Help me understand this. The measures of these bonds, uh, the people who receive them, they're going to see this in their taxes, sorry, the people who own homes are going to see this and apart from the Melor Rus. So it's double taxation. It's the same thing. You can repeat the question. We have the measures and the bonds. Understood. If I understood you correctly. It clearly states that this product can be used for payment. Ah, we already asked the community for taxes, they already paid, but we still owe the money. So, they're going to receive
041it in the CFD. Yes, because these funds are paid out over 20-25 years and we are using the money to build the school, but we are not paying them back. The homeowners have to pay for it . That's what it sounds like through the Mellow Rus. How do you say? It does n't happen, you don't pay anything when you leave, but it's during the time, it's when time passes, but you're not doing the taxes on your houses, right? So, section 789 is talking about the sale of the property. And that's very sad, because if these people don't pay , those who, for whatever reason, haven't been able to pay, are going to lose their homes. They are contributing to someone losing their home, but they already paid taxes on their home in another way. So,
042I don't think this is good for families and the community. That is my statement. I also removed this article. We increased these taxes last year. Mr. Pong, this is an annual article. I asked during the meeting, how much of this money do we have? We receive the money and then we pay it back, right? Yes, the surplus comes from the tax and then we pay it. We are using it to pay, we are receiving it from the residents of this area to pay for the schools. We don't use the money in any other way. Correct? I want to pass 10p. I second that. Ramírez Domínguez, Tolstínguez, Cervantes Mayo, Ugarte. I, the motion passes 3 article 10T. Domínguez Cervantes. Yes, he was also there at my meeting with Dr. Reyes and Mr. Tamayo. We were asking
043about the Y contract programs. In the past, the contract stated that there was mentorship, and it used to be like a standard contract that was signed, but I wanted to know what this mentorship looked like, and we wanted to see what the contract looked like. What does he mean? What are they doing? How are we measuring this? Because if it says "titoria," then that's what we want. I'm going to pass the microphone to Mrs. Morales. Thank you, Mr. Ky. With your permission. I believe that if our director, Omar Calleros, can come and answer the question, and also when Omar comes here, just about the academic opportunities. of the YMCA. Thank you, I appreciate the opportunity. I'll be very brief. The activities include lead hop, club, academies and sports. The hub area is what was previously
044known as dash and stretch, where task assistance was provided . I know that homework assistance and tutorials weren't used, but I know that in our LOP guidelines there is a component to help with homework that is offered and that is with academic subjects like math and reading and writing and those are more rigorous. and is offered by teachers who stay after school to give students that opportunity to work specifically at a grade level. Questions. That interests me. I know when we met with Doctor Reyes, you know how worried I was about the money for title one. So, exactly how much is being offered to teachers? Teachers know this is available, they want to do it, they know how it can be expanded. Tell me what it looks like. Those teachers, 20 teachers who are working
045with the teachers. Well, obviously not right now because it's summer, but how it ended. It looks very different at each school. Every school has this. Yes. Each school has a lead program. Tutoring, reading, and homework assistance are offered at every school. But to clarify, I do not manage the Title One funds. I have ACES and extended learning opportunities. Each school looks different because it all depends on the staff or teachers who can stay after school and offer this opportunity. Each school has a campus leader. For the lead programs, they are in charge of recruiting students and bringing in instructors and doing the registrations and activities. Our first effort is to recruit staff from the faculty to create a friendly atmosphere. and then members of the community. And our last resort is therefore also to have
046the people who offer the service. And the activities are based on what the parents or children requested. What funds are they? or through ELOP and AES programs. We hope to expand. One of my questions would be, it's an $11 million contract . Yes, it is the best option. After-school programs are very important and provide enrichment. And we're asking, what do we get for those 11 million dollars? How are we investing this money? I'm interested in an update on the Friday ones. I want to know what we received for 11 million dollars. The truth is that I have to go get my computer because I don't learn numbers that quickly. Mr. Calleros says, "We have 180 days and we have that enrichment platform, supervision for 180 days. While the schools are in session, we partner with
047[unclear - possibly "the school" or "the school"] and provide that service to the children. For that, we're only looking at $12.99 per student for 3 hours of service, depending on the school. Additionally, we offer the Le Academy three times a year, and those are non-instructional days, 9-hour days for 30 days. It's all-day supervision for the children. We open 166 spots in six different schools for 9 hours each day. Additionally, we also offer a morning program. The morning program is in different schools, 451 spots for before school. Before-school supervision. Tell Richi to turn it on. Uh, I request a motion to try. Ramirez Dominguez, Dominguez Cervantes, Tolston Tamayo Ugarte, the Maón Pasa. Article 10B. Rosti Ramirez Dominguez. Yes, in our previous meeting we were I agree that this board, this governing body, is to be fiscally
048responsible. Someone asked for B and someone asked for W. So, they're already approving B. There is n't one here. And I now have 10W, Ms. Dominguez Cervantes. Last year the Taste of Islake was 60 and now it's 77 because the flyer said 80. But my point is, as I mentioned before, this is for fundraising and I don't think this has to be from the district, it has to come from our own pockets. They're not programmed, but so I'm in the same position, and even though it's to support Science, STEM, Art, and Math, historically it's been the high school. So, if they donated last year, how much was it? Mr. Ponk, do you have that information? I don't have it, but I can include it. But again, this is something to raise funds and we shouldn't
049have to use taxpayer money for this. I'm not going, I'm not going, but if I do go, it's going to be out of my pocket. I know that for many For years, Taste of Islake and the Islake Educational Foundation have organized this event to raise funds for the high school, middle school, and elementary schools in East Lake. We received money and had a staff member there because we were committed to that fundraiser. This fundraiser has a purpose: our middle schools, high schools, and elementary schools receive money. Specifically, it's for technology, and computers are purchased through donations. It's a little cheaper because we receive it. As you know, many people come to meet us— community representatives and us being there. I think it's a small amount, and I believe that what we put in as a
050district, we receive much more for our students. And I know that when we opened Maxwell, someone from the Islake Educational Foundation attended as well. With that, I say, uh, sorry, at our last meeting, we agreed that our board would have fiscal responsibility, and I've noticed that the leaders have to set an example. The people sitting here, everyone, not just the superintendent, we have to lead by example. With that, I don't I want the dollars and funds to be used to cover our costs here for Taste of East Lake, even if it's for educational purposes for the schools, but it's still a cost. I didn't know this event existed, but this board wants to spend the $75 million to represent and to go there without using the dollars. So, what percentage of the budget do you
051want used for the leaders to represent the district? What percentage do you want it used for? We need to sit down before we have this order. Here you are proposing to cut the budget, but you haven't told me the percentage. Give it to me. I don't know exactly how much. If you want to cut it, then you should know. Tell me the percentage of the budget. And I'm also going to talk about this because we talked about the budget and the travel budget. And please, I'm going to ask those of you who are opposing this to look at other districts and see the expenses of any other district. Ours is very low. We can continue to lead by example. I agree, but I'm also... I agree that there are responsibilities because we are not full-time
052employees and we don't have to... we don't have to make that expense, and it's not an exorbitant amount, and I move... I request a motion to prove it. Everyone present. Domingo Cervantes, we're not here. Yes, me. The motion passes 32. And now it's time for Mr. Romero to announce our new employees and our promoted employees. Thank you. Uh, this is my favorite part, talking about promotions or new jobs. Evo Ivón Anglo, who will be a coordinator. Ivón Angulo. Bravo. Moisés Aréchiga from general maintenance to carpenter.

Public hearings give the public the opportunity to address the board on special items. Individuals wishing to speak before the board on any public hearing item must complete a request card to be heard and submit it to the recording secretary prior to the meeting. Speakers are requested to limit their remarks to 3 minutes and to speak respectfully and professionally. The board will limit the total speaking time on each public hearing item to 20 minutes. With the board's consent, the chair may increase or decrease the allotted time. We are going to hold a public hearing to conduct a specific service during the period from July 25 to June 30 and adopt a resolution regarding short-term
055classified employees. Mr. Romero. Ah. Ah, in this item we are going to be using, we are going to talk about a short-term position. This is going to be from July through the end of June. And it is going to be for $36,000. Now I am opening The public hearing. Since no one spoke, I am now closing it, and this is an action item. Secretary Ramirez Dominguez Hosten. I, Tamayo, I, Hugarte, I. Unanimously. Article 10. Approve the schools. District number 22. Adopt the resolution, the validity of facilities, the taxes within the community on December 22, and establish the boundaries and take action. And as the board of directors of number 22, conduct the votes of the property owners and adopt a resolution and approve a motion to conduct the first reading of the district facilities on
056the subject of taxes. Mr. Pon. Thank you, President Ugarte. Tonight we are going to go over the six articles and approve them. Number 22. So, the first article is to approve the amendment. The second article is to establish the boundaries, and then we will vote, and that will be part of tonight's process. Okay, now we see that we are going to open the public hearing. Okay, now I am opening it, and no one speaks, so I close the public hearing. The board Madam President, we're now going to talk about certain issues regarding Chula Vista School District facilities. Mr. Pon, please write down the actions that will be taken tonight. Thank you very much, Madam President. The Board adopted a resolution regarding the land at Otai Ranch, and it will be authorized in an amount not
057to exceed $100 million, and a budget will be provided for development in the east. This will be used directly to pay for school facilities. The regular district practice will use it for taxes and participation, which is a type of fund. The steps that will be taken tonight by the Board under Item 22 will be carried out by the property owners' election . Taxes will be reviewed. The owner, the developer, will be an entity, and the first step tonight will be to approve mitigation. Then, in the prior agreement regarding property number two in the west, the district has that agreement, and the paperwork is here for the Board to approve. Thank you, Mr. Pon. We'll begin with the agenda item... Ranch Village 8 East. This is an article of motion, I second it. This is a
058public hearing. I, I, Dominguez Cervantes. I play you. The next item is regarding number 22, taxes and matters that have to do with it. I declare that the public hearing is open at this time and there is no one to speak. So, I now close the public hearing. The board has received the report of number 22 on excise taxes and the district will have these documents. Mr. Pon, the district staff has reported that all notices and all documents have been completed, filled out. Yes, all publications have been given regarding those notices. Have any protests been received regarding the taxes or this process? 22. The district has not received any written protests. Does anyone present want to speak about number 22? Is there anyone present who wants to speak against or protest the establishment of CFT2
059or other matters? State your name and whether you own property or if you are a registered voter. CF22, [Music] Mr. Pon. Oh, it's an area south of Wolf Canyen, south of the agricultural area, right? But I am registered to vote in Chulavista, but not on that side where the property is. Mr. Pon, please clarify, clarify that because it's not specifically requested, it's not a requirement. Okay, then I'll continue. I want to talk about my concern about continuing to tax people who are already overburdened with measures and taxes, and it's too much. So, who do you notify if, I mean, nobody lives there? Who do you notify? Of course, the coyotes aren't going to answer, there's nobody there to answer. So, who can? We can, because we 're here and we can talk to the people
060who are going to live there and talk about this concern about so many people, and the developers start making their contract with the city of Chulavista, that they want a certain property to be available for the school, and if the school doesn't want to buy that property, then it's offered to the city or another local government that then has the rights to stake it. for that property. But if nobody lives there, then, of course, who are you going to send notices to? I don't know what if I want to buy something there. So, okay, well then you should have sent me a notice so I would know I don't agree. So, I'm just wondering, who was notified? I'm not surprised that, I mean, there's no response, obviously because nobody lives there, they don't even know
061it's going to be developed, so to speak. So I continue speaking. I don't want to, and I don't think anyone here wants to, pay more taxes, more money. So, I understand the logic of wanting to build more schools, but there's only so much that people can do, and it's already too much of a burden. I don't think we should be issuing CFDs just for the purpose of charging people more taxes . There are additional comments regarding this, and I have a comment, and it's also related to the process of accepting CFDs and, I mean, not allowing the developer to include certain things when the future owner doesn't even know about them, and as Mr. [Name] said Cervantes, people, money is very limited, and for us to just think, oh, about the future, I mean, we're
062not taking future owners into account, and that's not right. So I don't know if there's anything that can be done, but I'm raising my concerns about the process, and we're also sure that we're going to need a school there. I just want to know because we hear that Liberty is having problems with the gangs. And why is that? Because, I mean, there aren't enough students, so we don't know if we're going to have enough students for these schools. So, I want our schools to have good teaching, but if we can't fill the positions and we try to bring in people from other countries, then we're creating another problem. Is there any way we can get a report or something that tells us there's going to be a need? Do we actually know that there's going
063to be a need? Those are the questions, my concerns regarding the CFDs. I have a question. What's the closest school we have? I know there will be a need. I think W Canen. Thank you. Everyone here who wants to speak On this matter, I now close the public hearing. Mr. Pon, there is a majority protest regarding this proposal, regarding these lands, the taxes under number 22, and other issues. A majority of protests have not been received regarding those issues. Authorizing the taxes, establishing limitations, and taking action. This is an action item. Second, Ramírez Domingos. I, Cervantes, Tamayo, I, Hugarte, I. Motion passes. Mr. Pon mentioned the background on the CFD. Does any member have questions on this matter? I asked a question and it wasn't answered. What? What does it communicate to? Which communities were
064notified? Thank you. We work directly and publish notices in the newspaper and elsewhere. Which newspaper? The Star News, which one, I mean, it no longer exists and nobody reads it. I also mentioned it in another thread, and I also think we should look at how we notify the community. Certainly, the Star News is the only newspaper used to notify the community. If I hadn't seen the People, I wouldn't have known if I could continue. This is part of the consent. The change was, but it wasn't, an item for the public hearing. It was legally consulted before the board meeting, and all that information didn't have to be disclosed, just mentioned on the agenda. Everything else came out in accordance with the requirement; it was just put in the consent form instead of in the public
065hearing. I'm not saying it's illegal, but if it had been where it should have been, maybe people could have found it and spoken for or against it . We can look at other ways to reach and inform more people, I mean, with this technology we have today, and you said it's an established procedure. Absolutely. And we can see that in terms of cost, making sure it doesn't exceed a certain amount. Is there any other information? Now we can ask Mr. Pong and Dr. Reyes. The motion was approved. And why was it approved for this CFD2? The board will discuss related items regarding this item. Mr. Pong will take the floor. Mr. Pong has received everything required for the Property owners and has notified them if the district has received what it is supposed to receive
066and an election can be held. That I gave you. Do you agree that in 125 days after the adoption of this resolution? Yes, I confirm. Thank you. At this point then, we will proceed with the election of the property owners. Have you received the ballots from the owners with the election results? The board members, the landowners voted for 22 [Music], and the election was conducted. The results are 140-something votes, and it has passed by a majority vote, and the certifications are attached from the election and are submitted for your consideration at this time. The next resolution, number 22. This is an approved article of action . Second. Do any members have questions or comments regarding this matter? I already know that Mr. Pon is a man of integrity, but I do disagree on the other
067matters, and I stand by that. I have a motion, and whoever has it, second. Host, I. Tamayo, Me. Ugarte. Me. Motion passed. The next item is the reading of number 22, which deals with the tax. This is an action item passed. Me, second. Do any members have questions or comments on this matter, on this motion? I continue to stand by what I said. If the taxes are going to be 30 years. Correct. Motion, second. Josen. Me. No. Yes. Yes. President Ugarte, item number 22, like this . It authorizes the tax for district number 22, and that motion did pass. I wanted to make sure to say that. Thank you. Your car is due. What copy? Next year. The superintendent for support, Mr. Pong, scheduled a regular meeting for August 13. All the paperwork is now
068complete, and thank you all. General information is in the reports. This is where the board members request the items from Superintendent Ramirez Dominguez. The board could move to move the meeting from the 15th to the 18th. October. Are there any staffing issues, or any budget or deadline issues? We would have approved the budget in September. Mr. Morales Ramiro, does anyone see any problems with the schedule? The date was to move it to October 15th. No, there's no conflict in human resources, nor on my end. So, motion to move the board meeting from October 9th to October 15th. The one from October 8th to October 15th. Ugarte, Tamayo, I... the excitement passes, and I also have other reports. I can see the projections for Ranch Village and the CBSD schools. And I'd like to know if
069our current facilities are under capacity and how many positions are vacant. There could be a presentation on how those decisions are made and questions that are asked. A presentation for the board. Yes, so the public can see it. I still have on my radar the member's request that was made on May 2nd. 022 that the meetings are recorded and the possibility of that. And also community schools, the impact report, average attendance. I do n't know how reasonable this is, or if someone needs to review it. She has seen in other districts that they can make up the session, and I know that we now have a one-day contract that they should know about in advance, but like in the summer and winter breaks, you have to be creative about how you can use those non-school
070days and make them up. and that they be reimbursed. So, like a hybrid schedule or something, if the team is working on that and I know you're doing this, but can you make sure we have some sessions that make up for lost time, something that instead of costing us money, helps us financially, like last month's budget presentation and some of the other presentations we've done. Mr. Romero gives us a presentation every month and nothing else, different presentations. If they can be published, I know it's not required. Ah, but if it could be published a day earlier or something so the community can see it. Sometimes they are watching the computer from home, or the teachers, or the classifieds, the principals. What are you watching? It's very difficult to see. I can barely see. So, let's
071really see if that can be done. There are times when we are working on the presentations right before the board meeting. So, and also about the evaluation and seeing if we need it or not. to the advisors and it's $3,000 a month. So maybe we can do something better with that and keep the ballots that parents can see on our radar. They're not available right now, but I don't want us to lose sight of that for the future. And Dr. Reyes also asked if we don't use Line software, Softline software, then who should we use? And this was something that was mentioned a few years ago and I'm going to mention it again: internet security and the district's responsibility. And there is so much inappropriate material online, and it's not just bullying and inappropriate information,
072but children shouldn't be seeing that, human trafficking and just internet safety. I don't know if it can be made part of the evening curriculum so that teachers can also perhaps email the presentation to parents. Sometimes it's just one more thing the teacher has to do during the lecture, which is quite long, but if there's something they can send to the families and if the parents have questions, they can ask the parents, I mean, what do they want to ask? Looking for a complete presentation, not just for the board of directors, I mean, it would be awesome to see it, but something to give to the parents and teachers and seeing the water. It should be evaluated this month. So, he wasn't healthy previously, and what was done before October became inside information, so it wasn't
073made public. So why is it no longer available to the public? So, we have to keep an eye on that and see what the water assessment is, and also the combo classes, which are still alarming, the teachers, there's no way the child won't receive what he needs to receive during the teaching period. In other words, the teacher is a person and your teachers want to do a good job, but they can't divide themselves too much. CFDs, last year we asked for a map, just to say what areas they cover, and I think we forgot. Ask CBS, when is that the lawsuit being filed, and when that is resolved, what money is being used for that? So we're part of the GPA, so the funds can be recovered through that. We have insurance and there's a
074deductible we have to pay, and anything over that deductible they'll cover. I know it's GPA because of recent activities. We have a federal government, we have lawsuits, and everything seems to be focusing on whether or not there has been a violation. And that appears to be one reason why the funds are being withheld. So, there are cases that have not been decided in the district and county court. So, what is our responsibility? It seems that much of it stems from parental consent. So, the money has been withheld, and we want to make sure we have a more holistic assessment. Thank you. Okay, I'll add a little bit. I would like a presentation for the board of directors so that the district can promote Business Plus. We've been working on that for a few years now,
075and it will be either PeopleSoft or a combination of PeopleSoft and other systems. as we continue to develop [Music]. I think business people soft costs a lot of money. Then it's also possible that you sent this and I didn't see it for Rogers' staff as support for the counselors. I know they have more psychologists, but you can send that to the board. How many do they have, and what would the budget be for one more advisor? And I submitted my report, everything is covered now. Board members, have you attended any events? Dominguez, before giving my update, I want to take a moment of silence to honor the lives of all those involved in what is happening in Texas. Ah, some month to some impediment no. Thank you. It has been very difficult for us. Just
076seeing from afar how much that was, we will continue to pray for all those involved, especially the girls' camp, but I will continue to pray for our sisters and brothers. Thank you for that. And this month I've been taking time between my kids running around on vacation and I've been taking time to read. I want to make sure that I can keep up with everyone, and as soon as I finish studying everything, I 'm sure you're all waiting for my questions. And I went to a counseling meeting and it opened my eyes in many ways, as well as member Dominguez Cervantes, we also have that responsibility to educate ourselves [Music] not to open the eyes of 12-year-old children. That's basically it. I will continue to improve. Thank you. I took a few weeks off and
077have nothing to report regarding that, but I do want to thank everyone in the district and wish them a wonderful year and also the challenges that come with the budget, but I want to thank them for everything they do for all our students, may it be a great year. Thank you. On the 19th [Music] I was invited by some friends, some teenagers, and I went to a queen presentation. They crowned my niece queen of Latinas and every class we went to. The teachers are great, the teaching, the assistants in the classroom supporting the children, the children. It was a very good visit. I really enjoyed that, and girl, she was there as the principal, taking the principal's place that day, and they did a really good job. The parents are very happy, they gave very
078positive feedback, and yesterday I went to the Chulavista board meeting and that's how I became aware of these scooters and our responsibility to enforce them . Thank you so much. And I would also like to ask all our administrators, all the classifieds, everyone to take advantage of these last few days. I know I have family in classifieds and other types of personnel. I no longer have directors, but they 're barely enjoying their vacation and then they have to come back. So, take full advantage of that free time. I spent almost two weeks in Portland with many educators advocating and creating policies for students across the country. Some came from California and we accomplished quite a lot during the days we met. So, I'm very grateful and I want to continue doing that throughout the year.
079We welcome all students and we believe that all students deserve a very good education. And the Chulavista School District, Chulavista Elementary Schools, speaking of the place on Broadway in San Diego, California. The meeting is in September and they will be discussing a certain matter at J Street, in the support services center, room D, room 4. For this, contact Mr. Pong; this information will be available on the website. It's 8:10. Thank you team. So I'm here watching all the work that this whole team does. Thank you very much and welcome to the new school year. It's going to be magnificent, and thank you for all your hard work. The next regular meeting will be on August 6th at 4 pm for a closed session and six for an open session. Second motion. Everyone in favor. I
080then approved mind. Okay.
