Does the superintendent have any information he would like to share? That's right. Okay. I would like to invite the FSTTO president Angie SAC to the podium to give her update. Good evening, President Calhoun, FS FJUHSDA trustees, and Dr. Mclofflin. It still amazes me how quickly this past school year has come and almost gone. We have 36 school days left and still much to do before summer break. Our executive board met earlier this afternoon and we are we are already looking ahead and talking about what next year will hold for us. In the meantime though, we have been discussing the celebration of our certificated FSTTO members this spring. We have

01940 certificated staff members who have taken advantage of the early retirement incentive and we will be saying goodbye to many of our friends and colleagues. We will keep the retirees and our board members apprised of plans to celebrate those who are leaving us. And we just got an update from Dr. Atkinson late this afternoon. Our negotiating team has also been working hard the past few weeks along with our district counterparts to complete and present a new collective bargaining agreement this year. Thank you, Dr. Atkinson, and your team for making our sessions positive, progressive, and collaborative. We appreciate working together and look forward to getting this work done finally. I have had the pleasure of visiting our school sites this school year and working with our new educator mentor program. Our eight campuses have paired amazing

020veteran teachers with our temporary and probationary teachers to guide them along during their first or second year in our district. Our goal is to see our newest hires reach permanent status in our district and the mentor program has given us the opportunity to do so. This year we have the fewest non-reelects I have seen in quite a few years and I want to thank our site administrators, our human resources department and our mentor teachers for this great achievement. FSTTO was granted was awarded a grant from the National Education Associates Association for this work and our grant is due to end this June. I hope we continue this work throughout our district as this only helps our teachers and our district in retaining quality teachers and amazing FSTTO members. CTA's state board of education met this

021past weekend in Los Angeles. Amanda Geyser, Magdalena Valba, and I are the elected representatives from District M, and we sit on separate committees. Amanda sits on the teacher evaluation and academic freedom committee. Magdalena is on the language acquisition team, and I participate in the adult alternative and career technical education committee. Our committees are currently working on language for the CTA handbook as well as updated policy and legislation. I was selected a few weeks ago to work with a subcommittee dual enrollment through state council. Our committee has been tasked with creating language for CTA as well as language for dual enrollment in California. Thank you to Dr. Berg and Earl Bench from Buenap Park High School for inviting me to be a part of the discussions surrounding dual enrollment and allowing me to visit classrooms to

022see our students engaged in their classes at Buena Park. I have learned so much from this pro process and I look forward to seeing it grow in our district and throughout the state. And more CTA news. For the first time ever, CTA as a state organization is taking action regarding the upheaval taking place in Washington DC and at the federal level. On May 17th, four large rallies are being planned throughout the state of California. Rallies will take place in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento. All school personnel, be it a teacher, an administrator, or a classified personnel with living within 90 minutes of a rally n living within a 90minute radius of any of these rally sites are encouraged to attend and help us all out. Save the date and I will pass

023along more information as we receive it. FSTO will be accepting applications for the 24-25 scholarship that is awarded to seniors in our district who are declaring their major in education. The awardees will be seeking a career as a classroom teacher, counselor, speech language pathologist, school psychologist, school nurse, or any other certificated position within a school district. We look forward to celebrating them at the board meeting and get those applications in seniors. And on a final note, Janet Yendel, a former FSTTO member and Snora High School teacher, and I spent an enjoyable evening at Fullerton High School a few weeks ago to see their spring musical, Mama Mia. We were treated to an amazing performance by the students and outstanding lead characters played by Noel Lydoff and Andrew Kazarus. Thank you to Jacqueline Stickle, theater arts

024teacher at Fullerton High School for helping our students create a magical event and entertaining its audiences. It was a great evening and we know that everybody enjoyed it. And that concludes my report for April. Thank you, Angie. I would like to invite Tiana to read the update on behalf of Ca President. Good evening, Dr. Mclofflin, President Calhoun, and members of the board. I'm providing this update on behalf of CEA President Joanie Best.

Classified school week is observed May 18th through the 24th and Chapter 82's Eboard is in the process of planning the celebration for FJU HSD's classified employees. Second round nominations for those interested in attending CSEA's 99th annual conference taking place in

025Reno, Nevada on July 25th through the 28th will be accepted at the upcoming CSEA general chapter meeting. Once all nominations are accepted, an election will be conducted before the meeting concludes. CSEA first VP Charlene Rodriguez and CSEA President Joanie Best presented at the classified leadership academy on March 12th discussing labor management relations and CSEA's perspective on building strong bargaining unit relationships. Both Charlene and Joanie appreciate HR director Mark Miller for inviting them to present as this highlights a valuable partnership between the district and CSEA. Regarding CSEA negotiations, unfortunately, the last two sessions on March 17th and March 20th had to be cancelled due to the CSSEA lead negotiate negotiator experience a loss in their family. Jodie Best and the lead negotiation ne negotiators are coordinating with the district district to reschedule negotiations in the near

026future. CA CEA's vision is to continue fostering a positive and strong relationship with the district.

So, we're going to start with water polo. So, first I would like to introduce senior and all league player Blessing Chang, sophomore and all league Ava Placel and senior captain Anisha Aliwari, and our head coach, two-year head coach Gary Chver. This was Troy girls water polo team's second consecutive trip to CIF finals. They finished second in the three-way league.

Um, these young ladies represent an entire team that loved the game of soccer and they love to play for each other. They were without question one of the most fun teams I've ever watched, and I think if you ask our admin, um, a team that they've ever watched as well, they were just a fun

048team to watch. Um and seven of our players on this team are committed to play soccer at the collegiate level. So our girls um soccer team. And finally, I would like to introduce sophomore Abigail Villan Noea and her head coach Aaron Adams. Aside from being a Masters qualifier, Abby was undefeated and North Hills League champion. She had 15 pins this season and an overall record of 36 and 10. and she is only a sophomore. So, more than likely you will see her up again next April. And that is Abigail uh Abigail Veloea. [Music] Right. Let's give the Troy [Applause] Warriors. Let's give one more round of applause for our winter sport athletes. Congratulations, everybody. And that concludes our commendations and recognitions. comments they would like to share. Does the superintendent have any comments he would

049like to share? No. Okay, we go to recess for 10 minutes. Thank you everyone. We will call the public comments for items that are not on the agenda. If there are a blue card, then we'll read this. So, here we go. All right. Individuals who filled out a speaker request form will be invited to the podium when their name is read. Public comments are limited to three minutes per person and 30 minutes per topic. The first one we have is Carrie and just come on out to the podium. Hello, my name is Carrie Baron and I'm here as a parent and the president of the Fullerton IMBC Instrumental Booster Club. We are here together to speak on Proposition 28 funds. And I'm going to go ahead and let my vice president of communications go ahead

050and read a letter on behalf of the Fullerton Instrumental Music Program. Good evening. My name is Justin Juck Nellis. I'm the father of two students currently involved in the instrumental music program at Fullerton Union High School. I also serve as vice president of communications for the Fullerton instrumental music booster club. I'm a Fullerton business owner and also a musician. I am writing on behalf of the entire Fullerton instrumental music booster club to express our serious concern on growing frustration over the continued delays in releasing the California Prop 28 funds. designed for our school. We were initially informed that the funds would be available in the fall semester of 2024. Then we were told they would be released during the second semester of 2025. Now it appears there uh that even this timeline is being pushed

051back once again. Meanwhile, neighboring school districts have already received and are actively utilizing their Prop 28 allocations to enhance their arts programs. Their marching bands, drum lines, and color guard teams are thriving with new coaching, upgraded uniforms, and show improvements. While the at Fullerton High School, our programs are struggling to make ends meet. Our marching band coaches have not been fully paid for their work. And our students are recycling old costumes and uniforms just to be able to compete. It is disheartening to see our talented students placed such at placed at such a disadvantage through no fault of their own. Parents are being asked repeatedly to make additional donations to bridge the gap left between the absence of these uh these promised funds. This is unsustainable, inequitable, and frankly unacceptable given that these funds were

052intended precisely to eliminate these kinds of disparities. On behalf of the Fullerton IMBC, we respectfully request a clear and immediate update regarding the release of the Prop 28 funds to Fullerton High School. Our students, our coaches, and our community deserve transparency, fairness, and the support that was promised under this initiative. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Thank you. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Non-aggenda items may not be acted on during this meeting nor discussed by the board. If you have if you'd like to have further information, please contact us through the district website or contact staff member who will be happy to talk to you and follow up with information. Does the superintendent have any information he would like to share? Yeah, thank you, Dr. Calhoun, members of the board. And

053just a quick uh thank you for your comments tonight regarding Prop 28. Uh I did want to let you know our uh director of ed services, Dr. Porter, is in the back of the room. He has administrative oversight of uh the plan and working with all parties including Mr. Despar, our vaposa. Um so I've given him my card. Um, and you're welcome to reach out to me directly uh or him and we can uh we can update you on where we are and then listen to some of your other thoughts you might have. So, I just want to let you know he's he's the taller one in the back uh with the blue. So, thank you. Thank you. Let's see. Action item. New basic textbook list revision on 2526 addendum second read. I would like

054to call an assistant superintendent of education assessment service Dr. Sylvia Coffin to present the new basic textbook list revision 2526 addendum two. Thank you President Calhoun members of the board superintendent Mclofflin and guests this evening for second reading and adoption the English language arts and science textbooks on the attached list are proposed for addition to the basic textbook list effective for the 2526 school year. The textbooks have been reviewed by the teachers and submitted to department leaders for evaluation. The members of the appropriate curriculum committees and administrative council have completed an evaluation form indicating that the books have been properly reviewed. The proposed additions to the basic textbooks lists were presented at the March 11th, 2025 board meeting for first reading and information and have since been on display in the district education and assessment

055services office for review and comments. To date, no comments have been received. It is recommended that the English language arts and science basic textbooks on the attached list be adopted for use in the district effective for the 2526 school year. Thank you. Thank you. Is there a motion to accept to adopt the new basic textbook list revision for 2526 addendum 2? I move. Second. Okay. Any discussion? Chester. Any discussion? Noel, would you like to cast a preferential vote? I approve. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed? 5 Z. I would like to call Assistant Superintendent of Education Assessment Service Dr. Sylvia Coffin to present information on the single plan for student achievement. This is this is for information only. as a nonaction item. Once again, thank you, President Calhoun, members of the

056board, our superintendent and guests. Before we begin, we want to provide an overview of our presentation. First, we will cover our educational service goals. We'll review our board data and LCAP. And then we will present the single plan for student achievement that is aligned now to our local uh control accountabil accountability plan also known as the LCAP. As our previous presentations, we always start off with the reminder of our ED services vision which represents what we strive for every day. This framework helps us stay true to our priorities, serves as our guide, and helps us move forward. And so our vision is to inspire and accelerate learning within our educational environments wherein all staff and students feel safe and engaged in a collaborative culture, most importantly built on trust. Now how do we do this?

057It's through our set for success model which focuses on three main components. Supporting, equipping, and teaching. Over the past several years, we've been developing a datadriven culture and hear the phrase data, data, data. Our decisions today are guided by data and evidence. But it's what we do with the information that truly matters at the end of the day. This quote led us naturally into our next steps, which was to create long-term goals. Actually, what we refer to as our moonshot goals. three-year goals in college career preparedness, English, math, science on our CAST scores. The target is 5% increase each year until the year 2027. To reach the moonshot goals, we have six strategic areas of focus. professional learning communities, our collab model and special education, our diagnostic exam known as NWEA, Northwest Evaluation Association, our

058career and our college and career indicator basically focuses on work-based learning, mental health, and community engagement. And we created a uniform data protocol tool to establish common language and understanding districtwide to navigate through key questions when we review and analyze data from our strategic focus areas towards our moonshot goals. Here's what information we have. So what does this mean to us? And now what do we do with this information? Here are just a few examples of the types of data we review. While this may seem like a long list, we actually use so much more and more and more to ensure we are working to meet the needs of our students. Additionally, this data is used to inform and measure federal, state, and local requirements such as every student succeeds act. the requirement district's local

059control accountability plan also known as the LCAP the single plan for student achievement called the SYPA student performance and student connections but tonight we will focus on student plan for student achievement also known as the SIPA but before we go to our SIPA let me give a quick overview of the prior month's presentations and how they're all tied together all aligned throughout this entire school year and beyond for and ed services. As you may recall, back in October, we had an opportunity to share information about our wellness team. That's mostly made up our mental health specialists at each of our school sites. The data listed above are the supports to date, the individual sessions they've held, classroom presentations, and wellness campaigns throughout our district. Our e class reclassification rate has increased by 6% in over

060the past four years. The slides show last year's class of 2024 and their post-secary actions. Over 3,000 seniors, almost 2,800 took the survey and about 85% who took the survey had college plans. Our graduation rate is at 93% which is above the county and state average. Then in January, we came to you in 2025 just a few months ago and we focused on visual and performing arts. our VAPA plan. We were able to share our arts vision which focuses on making our district a destination district with the arts in the area of arts that inspires all students to explore and celebrate the transformative power of the arts. We continue to expand our arts programs with over 6,000 students enrolled, over 200 VAPA sections, over 160 students are uh enrolled in our VAPA program and their

061students with disabilities. And 648 e students completed fine arts requirements in 2024. In February, we came to you and reported our LCAP midyear update. There we focused on learning our district-wide PLC's, how we were dedicating our time, focusing on professional learning, the collaboration process, connecting datadriven results, student f focus, and we do this two times per month at all of our schools, district schools. Currently we show on here that we have approximately 94 professional development day set days but if we were to add a few more there that we've provided crisis prevention institute also known as CPI where we've provided support for our instructional aids that takes us to about 106 professional different uh professional developments for this school year. We also shared that our schools were applying for special recognition under the professional learning

062communities and all of our schools have submitted their applications. We wait to hear the results. So, we look forward to see um being able to hopefully recognize some of our school sites for demonstrating their commitment to the PLC process for having PLC's for at least two years and presenting clear evidence of student learning along with an emphasis on culture, practices, and structures. As we shared before, we also started administering the NWA assessment known as a Northwestern Northwest evaluation assessment to grades 9 through 11, which is a computer adaptive uh uh diagnostic. This exam is administered three times per year to help us determine areas of growth or potential need in order to support our students throughout the district. In the area of college and career readiness, we currently have dual enrollment, working on expanding our

063dual language, CTE pathways, API, Cambridge, work-based learning, course alignment opportunities, tutoring, and professional learning. And we have a variety of partnerships to help support our students throughout our district. In the area of community engagement, our community uh family lison have hosted multiple parent workshops covering topics such as graduation requirements and college and career readiness. In addition, we also are very proud of our DACA group that meets on a regular basis. In the month of March, we presented special a special education update. There we were able to provide an overview on the alternative uh pathway diploma CPI collaborative model, a parent engagement, increasing their students with disability participation in a career technical education. And we also talked about our partnerships with Chapman University where we've trained over 96 teachers, held nine professional development trainings, and within

064our collaborative classes, we serve approximately a little over 550 students. And at this time, I'd like to uh present our director of ed services, Dr. Porter, who will walk us through our SIPO plan. Thank you, Dr. Kaufman, Dr. Mclofflin, President Kahun, and members of the board. Uh during this portion of our presentation, we'll provide a brief overview of each site's school plan for student achievement where each plan is aligned with our school with our district LCAP. The information shared within these slides are in reference to the plans that we shared in March with the school board. To start, the SIPA is designed to help schools align their site goals with the LCAP, articulate how they spend categorical funding, and how they work with their sites, school site councils to set schoolwide goals within the that

065match the uh the funding models that they've their goals that they've allocated within their WASK and LCAP. Each site received training back in June of last year, and these plans were developed with the following expectations. Work continuously with their school site council and annually review their plans. provide a comprehensive data review with their school site council that is aligned with the LCAP. Include a plan for categorical funds. And lastly, share their plan with the school board. This is a brief overview of that process that each site took to develop their SIPA, starting with an evaluation of progress, engaging with their community, and then sharing these plans with the school board to be approved as a consent item later in tonight's agenda. This snapshot is of the budgets that are allocated to each school site that

066are represented in these plans. These funds are used to support department and spe and specialized program needs. While some sites qualify for significant title one allocation, which you can see in the second to the last column, all sites receive funds to support students who are identified as homeless or foster youth. As part of the development of these plans, sites take into consideration state identified areas of need. And in each year, the state reviews our dashboard data and identifies any area where the district may need some may need to make improvements or not making adequate progress. The schools and the district partner with OCDE with to help strategically focus our efforts and support the needs of our students. And in 232 24 school year, students with disabilities and suspension rates and college and career p uh

067readiness were indicated as an area of need. This year we are showing some adequate progress and maintaining that maintaining growth. New for this year, the state identified uh areas of focus in in the areas of English language arts and math academic performance and the graduation rates of our homeless foster youth. We are currently working with OCDE to develop and develop plans and a goal in this area. Past areas of state identified areas of focus are addressed in the current LCAP and all new areas will be updated into the LCAP presented in June. You will see that each slide forthcoming has two to three focus areas. Although each site within their plans will have three, four or five goals articulated with specific actions that they will take to meet these that meet these accomplishments. We're going

068to start with Buena Park whereas in they've articulated a focus on all students will read or at or near grade level as measured by a reading inventory and district benchmarks. Students will have access to and support highquality programs such as early college, CTE, AOG courses, engineering, AP agriculture, and language courses. They will also focus on communication with community staff and students. These are just a few of the actions that are highlighted. Um, and I point out that these highlights such as social emotional support, parent workshops, etc. are actions that BHS is taking to meet their goals. The complete list of actions will be found within each school's site plan. Fullton High School will focus on enhanced learning environment for all students, offering sustainable, high-quality programs through CTE, A throughG, and APIB courses, prepare students for

069college and career success through standardsbased instruction that promote critical thinking, literacy, and essential 21st century competencies. They'll also focus on professional development on supporting diverse populations and various socio socioeconomical needs. This year, Feritin Jun Fullerton uh Union High School District qualified for targeted support improvement eligibility based on a school level student group performance. The state uses two years of dashboard results to make this what we call TSI determination to identify student groups that need additional targeted support. In these cases, students with disabilities scored in the low performing category or sometimes you'll see as the red category on the dashboard indicator over the past two dashboard reporting cycles. And these areas included college and career uh indicate readiness, English language arts, math uh and suspension rates. TSI is an annual determination does not have an exit

070criteria. As such, if a TSI eligible school no longer meets the TSI entry criteria, the school will no longer be eligible. To meet their goals and support their students at Fullerton High School, they will focus on a variety of strategies such as developing highly effective instructional practices, parent engagement, and support their professional learning communities to name just a few. At La Habra, students will be prepared for college and career through standardsbased instruction, focused on critical thinking, practical skills, writing, literacy, technology, fluency, and 21st century skills. They will increase student opportunities to take a broad course of study, including VAPA, CTE, AVID, and ADG coursework. Provide staff with high quality professional development and collaboration opportunities. A few examples would be highlighted. Their dual enrollment program this year. They'll be starting an AP or next year they'll

071be bringing their AP capstone diploma program and identifying effective instructional strategies throughout the school at L Vista and Lassier high schools. They will be focused on preparing students for college and careers through standardsbased instruction focused on critical thinking, practical skills, writing literacy, technology, 21st century needs for a post-secary college or career opportunity. offer a broad course of study to increase student opportunities to take CTE, VAPA, and other courses that meet the UCG requirements. And they'll continue to implement supports and programs that provide students with mental health, social emotional support, and interpersonal relationship training skill skills training. Now, Los Vista uh once were uh categorized as being a comprehensive schoolwide improvement or a need of schoolwide improvement uh for graduates based on 2024 dashboard data. Um and in 2024 they officially ex exited the status. So

072this is a great accomplishment for that school and the efforts of that staff. Um both schools but did this by having three-year weighted average of a graduation rate of above 68%. On top of that, Lassier is now in the no status category, no longer being monitored, an accomplishment definitely worth acknowledging. Both schools do continue to qualify for targeted support improvement for their homeless foster youth and students with disabilities. This is an area of focus for the district as well, which we previously articulated. They will work to improve these or to continue to grow in the areas of of maintaining their ABC and using the equity multiplier grant to continue funding their ABC plus programs which is another area which is reviewed at the schoolside council. You'll see other actions such as a focus on social

073emotional learning and expanding ATP vocational experiences at Sonora High School. They'll focus on students being prepared for college and careers through standardsbased instruction focused on critical thinking and increase student opportunities by engaging in and guiding a broad course of study including VAPA, CTE, AVID and A3G course work. They will take a focus on extended learning opportunities, tutoring, and expanded access to A throughG and APIB courses. At Sunny Hills High School, students will be prepared for college and career standardsbased instruction on critical thinking, writing, literacy, technology fluency, and 21st century skills. I think you can see the theme going through here that directly aligns with the LCAP with each one of these. Um, but they will support the learning environment and increase student access to the broad course of study including the VAPA, CTE, AG, AP,

074and IB courses. Their focus will be on or some of their highlights will be on AB and IB classes, EL support, and increased middle school articulation. And lastly, at Troy High School, their focus would be on implementing research-based instructional strategies and programs to identify and close the achievement gap. Implement a broad course of study that challenges students academically and or appeal to their interest instruction that follows state and board learning standards emphasizing interdisciplinary literacy. In addition to Troy Tech, you'll see that they're going to continue their work on interventions that support English learners, students with disabilities, and students with 504 plans, further developing their schoolwide systems of support for students. And with that, I would like to invite Dr. Kaufman back up. So, as we close out our presentation, we wanted to share a little

075more on where we are headed for the next few months. This spring, we will continue to gather community feedback and input that will be used to develop our LCAP. In June, we will be presenting an update and a final draft to the board for approval in June. And once approved, we will gather final feedback from Orange County Department of Education and make any final budget adjustments recommended by Orange County Department of Education before submitting to the state. In closing, we have clearly articulated our district goals. We reviewed information on uh professional learning communities. Our focus is always on learning. We will continue data reflections. We will continue to focus on community engagement. Our SIPASS will be under consent for approval this evening. And most importantly, our SIPAs are connected to our LCAP. With that, thank

076you so much. Thank you, Dr. Kaufman. Thank you, Dr. Porter. Does the board have any questions? I don't have a question, but I want to thank you guys for your presentation and I want to thank you for connecting the dots with all the presentations that we've had throughout the year because sometimes if you're just tuning in and you don't realize there's a connection, it might seem like these are silos and people are just presenting about the work they're doing. So, I really appreciated that you guys connected all of things together tonight and showed how it all works together towards a common a common goal. Anyone else? Any other? First of all, thank you for that, President. I didn't know what to expect. I read the single school plans and I we've done it different ways

077every year, so this was good. But I made the comment to Dr. Kaufman either yesterday or the day before that if you read those plans, you would have a really good idea of what's going on at all the schools. I mean, I really thought it was a very comprehensive written report and then you s you highlighted everything through your report. So, thank you very much for that. Appreciate it, Joanne or Dr. Chen. I think your presentation made the report a lot easier to understand. So, thank you. Thank you. I would like to call on assistant superintendent business services Ruben Hernandez to present the resolution 2425 number 33 early retirement incentive program. Thank you and good evening President Calhoun members of the board. Doc Dr. Mclofflin. Uh during the November 11th board meeting, the board of

078trustees approved resolution number 12, the early retirement incentive and resolution number 13 allowing the district to participate in the Calers's two-year service credit. February 7th was the last day an employee could submit an revocable decoration to retire. And after February 7th, business services started working with Orange County Department of Education to coordinate the finalization of the ERRI. and OCDE informed us that the retirees who selected the Calsters uh two-year service credit was greater than the 120 days um allowed by Calsters. So as we had employees who selected February 3rd as the first uh retirement date and we had others who selected July 7th so that window was greater than the 120 days which u which was acceptable according to resolution number 12. However, for compliance um with Calsters, OCD recommended that we bring forth resolution

079number 33, which would create two 120day windows. Window number one would be January 31st through 2025 through April 30th, 2025, which would capture the first the first employees who retired are selected February 3rd. And then window two um would start May 1st, 2025 and go through uh July 7, 2025 would capture the rest of our employees. So, these two windows will cover all employees who selected the Calsters two-year service credit and keep the district compliant with Calsters guidelines. This concludes my report and I could answer any questions the board may have. Anyone have any questions? No. Okay. This is an action item. Um, is there a motion to adopt the resolution 2425 number 33 early retirement incentive program? Approval. Second. Second. Okay. Any discussion? Noel, would you like a cast a preferential vote? I approve.

080All those in favor say I. I. All those oppose say no. 5 zero. I would like to call on assistant superintendent of business service Ruben Hernandez and senior director facility planning development maintenance operation and transportation Vince Madson to present facility presentation on measure L construction delivery options and summer project. This is a this is information only and it's nonaction item. Thank you President Calhoun members of the board Dr. Mclofflin. So tonight we're going to do a facilities update and so our expected outcomes for tonight will be measure al update. Uh we'll discuss the resolutions associated with that. These resolutions are also in our consent agend agenda items. Um uh Mr. Matson will then uh uh talk about construction delivery methods which also has a resolution in the consent agenda item and then we'll close with

081summer 2025 uh projects. um one of which of the items we'll discuss is also listed in the consent agenda item for the board's consideration. And so just a quick uh kind of update in regards to measure L. Um measure L um has this goes back a couple of years now, but we first started um introducing the needs around uh the facility needs for the district and we in we started to uh the process around our facilities master plan which ran about 18 months for us to complete. Um, and during that time frame, we also reached out to a consultant to help us better understand what sort of community support would would exist if we were interested in in in u going after a bond. And November 2023 was the first uh survey that came in.

082It came in a positive uh passage rating approximately 57% plus or minus uh 3.7%. And then we did a follow-up with our consultant in June of 2024. Came in at 62% with a plus or minus uh 4% um uh uh passage rate. And then um after that June board meeting uh we came back to the board in July 2024 and the board adopted a resolution that would allow us to um ask the community for a support around measure I. We finished that general election in November 2024 and measure was passed with a 57.49 49 which falls right within that plus or four minus that um the the June 2024 report showed. Um and so this idea of let's do it again on measure. We've started that process. So we were here um in front of

083the board back in February um asking the boards for the board for approval in regards to architects so we can start designing some projects that we've identified through the facilities master plan process. And then we um at the end of February uh sold the first series series A of Measure L. Um and this allows us to now have access to funds to start to deliver some of those projects. And so how do we go about delivering those projects? Well, um we're closing out Measure I dollars that the last project on that one is the science lab over at Sonora. And then we have Measure L now which allows us up to 284 million. The certificate of participation was another item that the board um approved and that's about 25 million. And then the rest of

084these funds that are uh trickling in here are just miscellaneous funds that the district has um access to um either through our capital development developer fees fund 13. We take advantage as much as we can with dollars that we can to help support our facilities that are own our own dollars. Um but thank you to the community for measure L because it allows us for the last two items on the bottom. These are state matching dollars. And so uh the first uh row that you see on there approximately 20 million. that number could be a little bit more. Um, we're continuing to work with our consultants to identify what that is, but this is around seismic mitigation or hardship associated with our facilities. So, we'll work with our consultant on that piece to identify those

085dollars. And then school facilities program or these are the state matching dollars. And the only way we can get access to those is through measure I and measure L. And so, when we add up all these dollars together, that um totals about $551 million. And so thank you to the community for measure al that allows us to go after those state matching dollars and also to the district and how we manage our internal funds uh to be able to get those state matching dollars as well too. And so the way we do that is through these resolutions that are on the consent agenda item. Uh resolution number 29 um allows us to go after those state matching dollars. I mean sorry to go after those matching dollars that are either associated with facility hardship, seismic

086mitigation for example. Um and then resolution number 30 allows us to um go after the state matching dollars when there's a state bond um associated with modernizing our schools and or new construction on our school campuses. Resolution 31 um is really just us acknowledging that the current authority that the state has around bonds and state matching dollars is currently exhausted. there's a long line of uh applications that are in that are already accounted for, but it's just us as a district acknowledging that we understand that and we're putting our applications in line and when dollars become available, they will release those to us. And then resolution 32 um is really just giving signing authority through the office of public school construction. So, as we submit these applications, they need a designated um signer to submit

087these applications. Superintendent or design will be responsible for submitting applications with our signatures on there. um as we go through the application process. And so with that, there are multiple ways in which we deliver our construction um projects. Um and so I'm going to ask uh Mr. Matson to come up and kind of talk the board through those um options that we have available to us. Thank you, sir. So, it's always good to kind of check in as we're going through our bond program. Um and there's so many things that are happening kind of in the industry. Um obviously we've had some tragedies with fires. We've got labor challenges. We've got material challenges, long lead items. We have the Olympics coming in 2028. Um between the state bond and a lot of school districts in

088California, there's going to be about $60 billion worth of work just in the K12 um and community colleges. So there's a lot of volume of of projects and a lot of challenges that are different than probably when measure I u program started you didn't have as many challenges. So we want to be able to to understand our industry what are the challenges that we're going to deal with and really kind of go through all of our delivery methods that are available to us and and I like to say checking all the tools that's in our toolbox making sure that we're looking at every option that we possibly can. So I'll do a very quick um just kind of understanding delivery method there's really three types that are available to the K12 and in these three

089categories even that has some other elements to it but basically design bid build and we'll talk a little bit more about what that looks like. It's basically hard bidding. It's low bid um requirements that we have to do. Um, and inside of that, you can see there's construction management, multi-prime deliveries with a bunch of trades. Um, where we can just hire an agent that's really just staff augmentations to help us deliver the projects. Design build is is a is a delivery method that a lot of higher ed colleges use where you basically hire the contractor, they then hire the architect and you work together as a team to deliver a project. usually very high volume, maybe a hundred million dollar project because you're building a whole new campus. Um, but that that's becoming more and

090more interesting as other districts and a lot of our peers are looking at a design, build, delivery either because of time, money, a lot of things. So, what was prevalently in the higher ed is now starting to become conversations in the K K12 world. And then the last um the last one is the least lease back and that is a best value selection. This is this is a delivery method that really came in right after World War II where communities were booming and portable buildings and you needed to build a lot of a lot of schools quickly. This was a delivery method that really gave you a lot of collaboration. You were able to move really quickly. So just in kind of recapping what it is, design build is the district deciding they want to

091build something. They then hire the architect. The architect designs it. The two of us are working together. We're figuring that stuff out. We get it state approved. Then we go ahead and reach out to our contractor who gets all the trades and we bid the project. Um it's it's a it's a fine delivery method. Measure I and even the bonds before is the system that Fullerton Joint Union used for almost every single project. They had successful project. But the the elements of this there's a lot of silos where one entity is talking to another entity and then you're hiring it successful it moves quick but I think because we've really started to look at the climate of the industry maybe want to look at some other options. So design bid build whether it's an agency

092or a CM basically what this is is the district is is hires the architect just the same process as they start designing it but then they're hiring a CM a construction management firm to kind of get in early start talking through logistics maybe work with the architect on material choices design choices lead items long lead items and then that CM once the drawings are approved at the state then that CM M assist the districts to go out and secure all of the the subcontractors. So you you start to see a little bit more collaboration here because you're now getting the contractor or the CM in the room while you're designing the building. So now you start to have the opportunity to collaborate and solve some of these industry problems and challenges that we're coming up

093with. Um, these are these are basically just the pros that show there's collaboration and things that you can do um to really start to leverage it where you're you now have a professional builder who's building all the time that can give you real time dollars, real time availabilities while you're still designing the building. So again, now you're starting to see that collaboration. The element here though is the CM really isn't the contractor. They're just staff augmentation. So they're not really holding as much risk as a general contractor would. So they're in this delivery method, the district really kind of has that risk until the subcontractors are on. Successful delivery method. It works great. It's great for quick, speedy, fast, multi-trade type of delivery methods. the design build. As as I said before, this is a

094unique program um delivery method because you actually hire what you label as a program architect that helps you come up with your concept. You're going to build a new school. We need 24 classrooms. This is the program. So, they're helping you design what it is you need to build. And then you're actually reaching out to a team that creates this entity. The contractor really is the lead agent in this relationship now. and they have an architect of record that helps build and design at the same time. You're building this project very quickly. Again, this is a higher volume type of of delivery method. Um, in our master plan that we have right now, probably not use this, but it's available. And I I wanted to bring it up because there's a lot of districts starting

095to have this conversation in the K12 world. It's it's it's interesting to see how this unfolds over our next eight year or 10 year program. Um, basically you finish out the same piece, design subcontractors, everything happens underneath them. So, it's a little bit of a lease lease back, see a multi-prime. It's starting to feel like there's some collaboration, but the contractor and and the architect are literally moving at the same speed. Um, the last one that we talked about is basically a lease lease back. And what this does is it allows you to hire your contractor and your architect almost at the same time. um your architect can get hired, start their program conversation schematic, and then you're bringing in your lease leaseback contractor that's basically there doing all the collaboration. What's different between this

096and the CMultime is this contractor holds the risk to deliver the project on time, on budget. They they carry all those same risks that a hard bid general contractor would have. So once the drawings are approved, the lease lease back contractor again assists the districts in doing all the competitive bidding to secure all the different trades, electrical, plumbing that you would need to deliver this project. What's really nice about this delivery method is the collaboration starts almost instantaneously. You you're you're having the conversation so early before the architect really gets into design development where it's now costing us money to make changes to the drawings. They're able to again have their their finger on the pulse of what's happening in the industry. They're looking at what materials are changing, what challenges you have that we

097would have, maybe looking at different procurement methods while we're still designing the building. Electrical and fire alarm devices have been really long lead items. Air conditioning have been really long lead items. Well, as we start to design, we can start looking at the district procuring some of this material ahead of it to beat those long lead items. So once the drawings are approved, you've already got material coming. Air conditioning units could be 30 months away and we're able to have those just drop right into the schedule that our lease lease back contractor has actually already helped develop a construction schedule before we even finished the drawings. We're able to start the bidding process and start securing some of our partners in trade. Um we just need to wait for that drawing to get approved by

098the DSA and then we are ready to put shovels in the ground. So, it's a really nice process because it really helps with that collaboration that our traditional design bid build kind of kept us in silos. Again, all of these delivery methods are very successful. I've used three out of the four of them in multi- districts that I've worked for. Um, this one seems to have that that perfect collaboration time in an a time when the industry is a little shaky and there's a lot of things that are happening, tariffs, just constant cost changes out in the market. So, so two of these delivery methods, the design bid build or the design build needs a resolution or authority basically saying that we're going to enter in this delivery method and the lease lease back delivery

099needs board resolution saying we are going to enter into potentially if we choose to go this way the board has to take resolution. Uh this used to be a certification process about 15 years ago. That was public hearing processes. It was a lot longer, harder process. So when regulations changed about 10, 12 years ago, they just made it a resolution basically stating if we choose to use this method, here's the resolution that says we're going to do that. So this is also on our consent to talk about it. So that this allows us to kind of keep all of our delivery methods available. We've filled up our toolbox and now as we start moving forward in design, we can pick a delivery method and we can move forward. So with that, it's what's next and

100what's happening. So quick quick update on what's happening with our first five projects. Designs have been going great. We're finished up program. We've had a lot of collaboration meetings with our administrators and the architects figuring out exactly what the program needs. Those things are happening. But we've also looked at all of our facility programs and all the things that we're doing. Our master plan has three new um track and field projects. Um but we also have three beautiful stadiums that are starting to hit their lifespan on the existing turf that's been on the ground. So because of the master plan and knowing we need to start changing turf back in February of 24, understanding the master plan, we really started to look at what's the technology, what's changing in the synthetic turf industry, what are

101the things that we need to look at. And a lot of the challenges that a lot of synthetic fields have always had is what's the infill? um you know those rubber pellets are always on the athletes and they're going home with them and they're in the wash and we have to maintain that and we're doing all that. So we found a pivot product is what it's called and it's basically a it's it's a track and it's a it's a turf product that doesn't have any infill at all. They've overloaded that with a lot more fibers which is the green blades that look like grass and they're able to put the soft padding up underneath that. So, we've we've been studying it for almost a year. We went and visited um a co a site that

102just installed it that's a soccer um a stalker a soccer field only. We went back and we actually started having conversations with our athletic directors. We showed the product to them. We talked about the pros and cons about it. Um basically, you're kind of hitting three things. Safety, temperature, and maintenance are always the three things that you want to talk about with your fields. And this product delivers and checks every box. Maintenance is a lot lower. Temperature is a lot lower. It's a much safer playing field because it reacts and is designed to to really react like grass does. When you see the athletes put their foot on this product and they lift it, there's a footprint that then bounces back because of the amount of fiber. So, as we were looking at this and

103we're looking at our master plan, Fullerton Union state that their stadium is basically hitting that 10 year eight-year mark, which is the warranty period, and 10 year is the lifespan. So, we decided this summer we were going to go ahead and change that out through our fund 40 because we've planned budgets, dollars to be able to replace the turf as it hits that lifespan. So, after we met with the athletic directors, we decided, hey, we've got an opportunity um the the site that we were going to visit had um available time. Can we bring some of our coaches, some of our athletic directors? Can we get some of our student athletes to come out and run around on the field, practice, do the things that they wanted to do to really get everybody's buy in,

104our athletic directors, our coaches, our student athletes. Had a lot of conversations with the district that just put this in. talk to them, talk to the the teams that have visited and used the field. Um, almost everybody that came to our event, over 20 student, 20 people visited the site, everybody's like, "This is this is great." A lot of the athletes are like, "Man, my ankles feel better. It doesn't feel like I'm I'm on a hot, you know, synthetic turf." So, we basically felt like this is the product that we want to do. And again, this is on the the consent calendar for you guys to look at today that we would like to change the turf at Fullerton Stadium this summer while we're designing the next the next track and field projects for our

105other three high schools. So, a lot of work went into it, a lot of conversations um talking with with the the safety folks looking at the studies that were going on. Um, we feel like this product right here is probably where the industry is going because of the challenges with maintenance and the infill products. And what's great about this system is because the padding is underneath the turf, we basically have a 12-year warranty that we're going to meet our GMAX rating, which is a requirement that they basically test the softness of the field to to deal with the safety of our of our students. the current fields that we have with the rubber, we have to maintain and groom that rubber to make sure that we we meet that GMAX rating. We have to make

106sure that we're testing it all the time. So, this product kind of solves that longevity of safety as well. So, again, it checks the three boxes, safety, the the temperature, um just the maintenance of it, um longevity and the cost. Um great product to look at. So the last piece is we could always talk about our facilities program holistically outside of the bond programs. Um you know what are other things that we're doing? So this summer um here are the sites that we're working with with CTE program and our general fund. We've got some projects happening at Fullerton and Sonora. Um we've got some stuff going on um at Buena Park. More projects here. This is our deferred maintenance bucket. So, we're we're trying to use every funding source um that that we listed early

107in the presentation. And this is all the stuff that's happening this summer while we're finalizing designs for our bond projects which will start summer of 26. So, more deferred maintenance projects here. Um finishing things. Um we've got um the last one here, districtwide plumbing fixtures. um those that's a that's a grant we got through Calshape where basically um we're at $7 million to replace all of our toilets which are this the water fixtures the sinks so it's more watery water water energy efficient and the state's given us those dollars so we don't have to take that out of our for maintenance um the this is the this is the cowshaped grant that that I was talking about that basically takes care of it we're going to start at Los Sierra Levisa this summer and we'll

108work second shift and we'll just replace every every plumbing fixture throughout the sites until we're finished. So, recapping measure measure I, um, as you heard earlier, the science labs will really be the last project at Sonora. Um, we're finalizing those designs. Um, I think we have a meeting with the site um, this this Friday that really just finalizes our program schematic drawings and we can go into full design. Um, and then the measure L projects, the twotory athletic building um, at Fullerton. Um, the three track and field projects we've been talking about, Sunny Hill, Sonora, and Troy. And then Troy is also getting their seismic modernization um that's happening. Again, all of these are somewhat scheduled for summer and fall of 26. And that is the end of our presentation. Mr. Medson, just to clarify,

109those dates are are breaking ground dates, not finished. Correct. We're not going to finish by next spring. I just want to make sure for the public. Okay. Shovel in the ground. All right. Thank you, Dr. Kellen. Does any board member have any questions? Marilyn, I do. Thank you for that report, both of you. Um, that terminology lease lease, uh, the term lease implies something to me that maybe is not exactly what that method is describing. Could you Yeah, actually, you are leasing the project, the site on the the the area that you're building the building. You actually lease that to the builder, the developer, the lease lease back contractor, and it's literally a dollar lease while they build the project. Meaning that they have control of the construction site while we have control of everything

110else on the site. The lease lease back element of this is once the project is done and we move in and we have control of the building instead of just paying the retention that we hold every pay progress payments we pay that back in a lease payment over 12 months. The the warranty period of our projects is 12 months. So, what that does is it keeps the contractor fully engaged as we occupy the building and we get our growing pains and we're still setting temperature and making sure all the lights work. We're making lease payments back to them by just giving them the retention that they're already due, but we do it over a 12-month period of time. So, they lease they lease the land from us for a dollar to build their building and

111then we lease it back for the first 12 months of us occupying it, which is really just delivering the retention instead of one payment over time. and it really keeps the contractor engaged for that 12 month period. Other delivery methods, you're done, you pay the contractor, he drives off to the next site, and then we got a warranty issue and we've got to call them. And it takes a while to get them back on the site. This way, they're fully engaged. They stay a collaborative partner through design all the way through that first year of occupancy and make sure the building is tight. So, there's the two lease terms, a dollar. We give them that little section of the site. We still control the rest of the site. They're just they're behind the fence and

112that's their site while they're building the project. Obviously, we collaborate and everything's fine, but that's the control. So, they lease it and then we lease it back for a year and then it's ours by default. We could pay off that lease early if we wanted to. It's nice to keep them around for 12 months to really manage the warranty period. Okay, that kind of leads me to another question. In the past, when we put the stadiums in, the board required that the district set aside money for the replacement after the 10-year period of time, which we've done. Is the intent still to do that? Because if you're paying lease back during that period of time, what about the money that's going to replace the turf 13 years from now? The lease payments are every every

113time a contractor makes a progress payment. So the first month of construction, they're giving us a pay app that basically says I'm mobilized, pay my insurance, I'm doing grading. Every time we do a pay app, we are obligated by law to hold 5% of that payup in retention that the county controls and that's retention money. The lease payments are paid back through that 5% that we've taken out of every single payup. So we're not using fund 40 to pay the leases. We're paying the leases through the 5% of the project that was done through every retention billing. So, Mr. Madson, is it is it fair to say on the um the lease lease back that's a measure L dollar and then the refresh on the fields are coming from a fund 40? Correct. Those are

114two separate funding two separate funding sources so we wouldn't overlap. Okay. Well, I understand the refresh coming from 40, but I'm looking at another fund 40 for refresh in 13 years when these fields begin to deteriorate. I guess I didn't say that. Yeah. So, no. So, currently fund 40 has more than enough dollars to replace the three stadium turfs that you have and then some. The new turfs that we would build in measure L have an 8 to 10 year lifespan and we would continue to put money in fund 40. So, when those hit their lifespan, we've got the dollars to replace those. Okay. So, that plan is already in place and it's just going to get better as we add three more fields. Thank you for that. And I I and this is on

115the agenda as a potential. So you're not certain that this is the way you're going to go. You're going to look at the lay of the land. Yeah. I I feel like as we get a little bit further in the design and we have a little bit more for contractors to look at. We want to be able to make that decision. Um the $8 million Sonora project, maybe that's a hard bid because it's a smaller dollar amount. So we just need to get more details in the drawings. Okay. Okay. Um, one just a comment. I did at the CSBA conference I was looking at the turf options and saw the new one that you're talking about and it looked really good. I like the idea of the not the little pebbles in the kids shoes

116and so forth. Yes. Um, so I'm glad to hear that every the athletes and the coaches liked it as well. Yeah. U, one other thing that occurred to me you're talking about we We had engaged architects previously. So is there any I mean the architects that we've already engaged are they part of this project because you're talking about a contractor and an architect. Yeah. So what's been happening since you guys approved our architects for measurel is we've been meeting with the sites and having program conversations. What is it we need? Who are the stakeholders? Who needs to be using the site? Let's make sure we're gathering all this information. So from program to schematic design is really just developing the need into a drawing and an idea of square footage dollar amounts what we think

117we need. And from that point now we're ready to move into design development where we're now putting the consultants, the engineers, the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, all those guys are starting to now design the building. But we started and the reason why we did brought the architects on is to to really unpack the program. What are we doing on these different projects and how are we using them? What's changed in curriculum? Flag football is a new sport on our turf. How does that looked on the lines for the field? So, a lot of it is just the architects have been gathering re recon and just getting information from from our administrators and our users and then we start developing it. So, the lease lease back option as they move into design development that's the perfect time

118to bring in the lease lease back contractor to set up for the collaboration. If we decide we don't want to do that, then we just wait for the drawings to get done and we hard bid it. It's just we're in that place in the industry where we probably want to make sure that we really look at all of our options. And I believe the lease lease back gives us the best collaborative successful approach to be able to deliver the project on time and not have to scrimp at the end because costs have escalated and we're we're challenged with labor and the projects are going long. So that's the reason why we want to put that tool in the toolbox. Well, thank you for answering my questions. I probably will have more. You know, I like

119details. So, thank you. Anybody else have questions? In these four options, um, what are the approximate percentage of price differences? Well, um, we, Long Beach, I think, is trying to do a study where they took two schools that were almost exactly the same and they wanted to hard bid one of them and they wanted to do a lease lease back. they haven't finished the project. But what we can see historically is we can kind of guarantee we have a really good number on bid day when we do a design bid build. But there's a lot of because no collaboration, there's a lot of either errors in the drawings or unforeseen conditions or oh man, we should probably should have added another office because we we forgot to talk to one person or or things like

120that. So you have a good number up front, but then at the back end when you put all of your allowances and everything in, they don't seem to be that different. But the fee in the lease lease back has a little bit more on the on the front end, but you're controlling the costs almost through the entire process to where you deliver it at almost the exact same price, but there's a lot more collaboration because you're paying a little bit of a fee instead of paying change orders that happen. It's not a bid day number. it's now you're under contract with them and we have to make a change because we didn't see something. I call those those aren't bidday numbers. Those are change order numbers and those are just always higher cost items because

121the contractor's there and he kind of knows we we we got to do it. Um so it looks like they are b. I just don't have a full study that says yep they're exactly the same but the cost overruns in change orders are very very limited. Anybody else? Any more questions? Okay, thank you. I would like to call on Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services, Dr. Carl Zener, to present the report on the nature of the resolution of the Williams settlement complaint. Thank you, President Calhoun, members of the board, and Dr. Mclofflin. Per the Williams settlement, it is required that a quarterly report is made to the board of trustees during a meeting of the board with regard to the number of complaints and nature of the resolutions to the complaints received by the schools in

122the district. There have been no Williams settlement complaints during the second period of reporting. Per the William settlement law, a report will be filed with the Orange County Department of Education. This will keep the district in compliance with requirements of the law. Thank you and that concludes my report. Thank you. Do the board members have any questions? I would like to call assistant superintendent administration service Dr. Carl Xener to give us a communication update. This is for your information only and is non-action item. Thank you again, President Calhoun, members of the board, and Dr. Mclofflin. Our April newsletter with the theme uniting communities was delivered to over 35,000 subscribers on April 2nd.
