Um, Halloween fest is also in two weeks. So, for those of you who aren't familiar with it, Halloweenfest is basically an event hosted at Oceanana in our cafeteria where we have a bunch of our classes selling food and we have a lot of games to play. It is open to the public, so there are a lot of members of the community who come in and participate. Um, the highlight I think of our festival is we host a haunted house in um one of the or several of the back rooms which is really popular and we also have karaoke. So, everybody likes karaoke. Um, we
009also had our paradise party dance on September. It was a Friday in September, but um, we did have our paradise party dance. It was our first dance of the year. It was casual dance. Very fun. We also had our first site council meeting through our academic council on site. Um, we also are having our robotics club workshops. So, our robotics club is gearing up to participate in competitions this year, which is really cool because past years we haven't had one, but um it's really everyone's really involved this year. Um and then we also just wrapped up our class versus class football tournament which took place in our gym. Um it everyone was very excited for that. There was a lot of participation um more so than other lunch games. So, that was very interesting. We
010also during Fogfest got to host our parking lot and open it up to the public for paid parking which was very profitable um and that went smoothly. We also uh finished voting on our senior sweatshirt designs. So those are going to be up for purchase very soon. We're also working to uh do bundle or package deals with prom tickets or yearbooks. So um we're working on budgeting for that. We also are having a service fair happening um through our associated student body congress secretaries. Um they are hosting a hygiene drive and all proceeds will be donated to charity. We also have kata next Monday which I assume all the rest of the school um leadership associated student body congresses will be attending at El Camino High School. So that should be fun. We're looking forward
011to that. Um and then this Friday we also have one of our um important senior X deadlines. So again, for those of you who aren't familiar, senior exhibition is basically a project that every um Oceanana senior has to complete um doing research on a specific topic that is relevant. It's a debated controversial topic um that is relevant in today's either social or political spheres and you have to come up with a presentation as well as write um three essays on it. So we're having the deadline for our first essay um this I think it's tomorrow. Um yeah, and then we're also we also had club fair on September 26th. So that was a chance for all of our clubs to table at lunch and sell food and get new members. Um we are also having
012our academic support and peer tutoring um committee which is a new committee through our associated student body congress um in engaging with our student body um for math tutoring after school. We also had our future medical professionals club perform suturing um which was during flex time. Um, and then we are also having CSU workshops and college workshop flex times for our our seniors. Thank you. >> Are you sure you're done? >> Pretty sure. >> That was awesome. Uh, yeah. I feel like an underachiever right now. I'll tell you that much. Thank you, uh, Violet. I appreciate that. Um, all right. Wrapping it up with Thornton High School. Uh, Johnny. >> Hello everybody. Uh, we have some news at Thornton High School.

Thank you for sharing all of that with us. and uh we'll be moving on to our board for our board report starting with Andy. >> Thank you. Um I am really grateful to hear the student reports today because it says that there's normal things and exciting things happening at each of our campuses and in a world where craziness is surrounding us on a daily basis. I'm glad that we have a district that provides our students a safe place to go to school, to have their different activities, to be able to have dances and proms and parties and clubs and athletic events and bands and and you know, long-term project assignments like senior
015acts to be able to do the things they need to do to become an educated member of our society because we need to continue to do this work. Our Our resistance such as it is is about educating our youth. And I am grateful to each of you, each of you students up here for sharing the amazing things going on at your campuses. The pride with which each of you are speaking about it and I encourage you to keep sharing that pride in your school uh when you are here and encourage your fellow trustees to do the same because it's important for us to hear the amazing things that are happening. So thank thank you each of you. Uh following that, nothing to report um supporting everything that we're doing here. So >> I also want
016to um I I'm always excited when we have our new student trustees on the board up here on the deis. Um and this is the first year I haven't I think this is the first year or maybe last year um I haven't been an adviser for student advisory. So to see our students here right now is really awesome. Um I have a question. Ethan, are you Lauren's brother? >> Um yes. >> I haven't seen you since you were really little at Tobias. Oh my gosh. And then I feel like we have a celebrity here, Adriana. I watched you in Mission Fusion. So I'm looking forward to your performance again. >> Y'all should all go February 79. So, it it really fuels me to see I just hear everything that you all are doing and I
017can't believe it's finals already at Jefferson. That was fast. Um, and keep up keep doing the great work. You represent us so well. Um, and please, we, as we always do, we encourage our students here to speak up and ask questions whenever we have presentations here during the board because you are members of this uh of the board of trustees and you represent your your fellow students. So, please always speak up because we need to hear from you. Um, so I did go to the uh well, we did Fogfest. Um, it was my first time since 2014 I've been in the Fogfest parade and it was really, really fun. Um, and I worked the booth with Miss Prea. Really enjoyed it. Uh, it was kind of rainy that day, but we still had people coming
018by. Um, it was just good to be a part of the community. And also um I did attend the San Monteo County School Boards Association um general uh I guess it was a board of directors meeting on Monday and um and they did have a presentation on how to um how to keep our students and our families safe during this time of um um attacks on our immigrants. That's I'm just going to say it. And so, um, it was really good to get this presentation and to receive materials from Faith and Action, but also it's a lot of what they were talking about is what we're we practice here. We're very in tune here in our district, and we do everything we can to keep our students and our families and our our schools safe.
019And, uh, it's just I'm really looking forward to community resource night this Thursday here at the district office. It's always a great event and um and I just love seeing how the community does turn out for it. >> Thank you, Rosie. >> I I was at Bogfest. I worked the booth um and I saw fantastic pictures of other board members in a car working at the booth. There's no photographic evidence of me being there. That's probably best for everyone. Uh it was really nice to be there with the community and to have people walking up and showing their pride in this high school district, their pride in their high schools. Um I'm glad I was there. That's uh all I have to report. >> Thank you, Shre. Yeah. So, I guess my claim to fame
020is that uh I was also part of Fogfest, but I got to sit in the front seat of a cool drop top, I forget what it was now, Ford Mustang, I believe, with Denise driving and Tony and and uh Rosie in the back waving to everybody. And I just got to say that that turnout for that Fogfest was was something else. So, that was that was pretty cool to be a part of. Um, you know, I couldn't really hear much along the whole drive, but I could definitely see a lot a lot of folks out there waving and it looked like a good time. I didn't realize it rained after >> on Sundays. >> Oh, the next day. Oh, jeez. God. Okay. Um, also yesterday, um, I was hanging out here with our student adviserss
021and just kind of watching them do their work and, um, really enjoyed doing that and kind of seeing the next, um, the next group of these young young amazing students of ours here kind of, you know, um, really take on their leadership roles with this student advisory. And obviously, as you can hear from tonight, um they're very enthusiastic about this and looking forward to the rest of the year with them. So, uh that's about it for me. Um moving on over to superintendent report, Tony Preston. >> Thank you. Okay, so um yes, Bogfest. I'm really grateful that each of our schools participated in the parade this year. So, you know, some were um cheerleaders or marching bands. there were different different groups that were participating, but I think this is the first year that we've
022had every um well, all of our four comprehensive high schools were in the were in the parade. Um and it was really fun being in the convertible and in the parade. I've never The only other parade I was in was when I did the Pacifica Pride parade with um Austin Warden. It's kind of fun. Um so that was great. Um I attended the AXA region 5 fall gathering last Monday. It's the Association of California School Administrators. Went with some of our administrators and it was it's a really good way for us to um network with people from other districts and from across the state. So, it was a really nice event. Um last week our National Equity Project fall retreat happened. It was in Oakland. And um our district redesign um we call it our
023equity design team grew this year um by five people. We doubled in size. Um a lot of interest. Most of our principles are on the team now. And um I'm really proud of the work that we did and we really took a a leap forward this last week looking forward to the year really focused on student voice. Uh, I attended a PI Ranch fundraiser. I was invited by Lori Hugh. She's on the board. And Py Ranch um has I think been involved um with Oceanana School for a long time, but there the um the culinary program at other schools are now involved, too. So, that's really exciting. Uh and it was a a great night, a great fundraiser. And I'd never been to Py Ranch. I've been hearing about it all these years and never
024been there. So, it was really it was beautiful and it was a cool event. Um, I want to mention, uh, I think I mentioned this another time, but Dr. Lorie Hughes along with, um, Deputy Superintendent Baka and myself, we've sort of revamped our, um, instructional council meetings. Our, um, I'm sorry, what, Sheret? What did I say? >> Hughes. >> Lori Hughes. I called her Lori Hughes. Thank you for correcting me. Lori Robinson. Dr. Lorie Robinson. Lori Hughes was from Py Ranch from the the the item before. Thank you, Dr. Lori Robinson. Um so Lori has really been leading the principles in some um some deep work around instruction this year. And so we um we meet and we we kind of do our work and our learning and our reflection and then we go on
025learning walks. And so we've gone to Jefferson all of the principles and Lori and Karine and I and then the last one we went on was at Tteranova. So, these are really helpful for our growth as professionals so that we can move our schools forward. The next school that we're going to be at is Jefferson, no, um, Westmore. And finally, um, I just want to echo what President Ggo said last night. Uh, student advisory. I'm so excited for the year. We're kind of um revamping some of they're going to be doing action projects this coming year. So, we're going to we've decided last night to take the um the issues really that they sort of unearthed for you and for us at the end of last year and the students are going to create action
026projects around those topics to move our work forward. So, we're really excited and we've been focusing a lot on community building this year as well. So, um it's been really nice to see the students meeting and becoming friends with with kids from other schools. That's that's been a highlight for me. So, yeah, that's it. Thanks. >> Lots of good stuff. Thank you, Miss Pa. Uh, are there any uh board subcommittee reports tonight? Nope. Okay. Uh, moving on. I don't see Monica. I don't Are you Okay, cool. Uh, so moving on to 11D, the AFT Local 1481 report. Miss Tony Prea, >> thank you. So, Monica is home ill, but she said that um she doesn't really have a report except to say that people who want to get involved with the Yes on Prop 50
027can contact her and or anyone can go to their AFT1481 website announcement page and see what's available. >> That's it. >> Awesome. Sounds good. Thank you. Uh item 12 is for information. Moving on to 13, consent agenda items. Uh, if the board doesn't does not wish to discuss or remove any of these items, I'd like to call for a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> Move to approve consent. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I public comment tonight. >> No, there is not. >> Thank you. All right. Moving on to action or discussion items, I'm sorry. Discussion item 15A one is board policy BP 350 and let me open that up real quick here. All right. And this child nutrition program and that's uh that's our deputy superintendent of business, Miss Tina
028Van Rapors. >> Thank you, President Gyos. Good evening, trustees. I will take the first three board policies together because they all have similar updates. Uh board policy 3550, 3551, and 3553 have all been updated to reflect new laws, specifically SB 348, which requires schools to provide any student who asks with one free breakfast and lunch each school day. And it defines what a nutritionally adequate meal means. It also includes an update from AB95, which allows schools to sell an additional meal after a free meal has already been provided, and SB 114, which encourages best practices such as serving freshly prepared, minimally processed, locally grown, sustainable, and California produced foods. Uh, and then the last one, board policy 3555, was updated to clarify discrimination rules and complaint processes as they relate to cafeteria program operators. If
029you have no comments or any changes, this would come back for your approval on consent at our next meeting. >> Would anybody like to comment? >> I'd like to comment. I'm just I'm just kind of proud of the state for doing this for people. That's all. >> Yeah. >> Thank you, state. Can I also commend? >> Agreed. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I like like you mentioned, I'm glad that the states is doing everything they can on their power to help the family people that lacks the ability to buy breakfast and stuff for their students because not everyone can afford it. And I'm glad that the states helps family that goes through these trouble struggles. So yeah, I enjoyed the idea of states giving away free meals for the students. That's a big appreciation.
030>> Thank you. >> Thanks, Johnny. All right, any other comments or questions? Okay, uh we'll move on to our first action item, 16A1, job descriptions update, and that goes to Miss Dana Luhan. Good evening everyone. This this item is two job description updates. One for the credential analyst and one for the fiscal analyst. Both these positions are confidential positions. The updates include some um increased independent responsibilities such as um interdep departmental uh communication and being responsible for specific elements of the budget. Um so uh at due to their increased level of responsibility and independent work the recommendation is that they be reclass these two positions be reclassified as range 50 and I welcome questions on these updates to the job descriptions and the reclassification on the salary schedule. >> Any questions or comments? >> Move
031to approve the job description updates for the credential an analyst and the fiscal analyst. >> Second. All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. So 16 A2 2026 health benefits memorandum of understanding. >> Miss Dana. >> Hello again. Um the item before you is an memorandum of understanding that uh the district and aft 1481 came to with regards to benefits for u beginning 2026. Uh, one of the big things is that we are shifting our uh, our partnership with Sutter due to greatly increased rates and we are offering a wider network of United Health Care so our employees can still continue to access their primary care physicians without any interruption to service and while also maintaining cost savings for the district. >> Yeah. And I think we know that there's probably going to be
032some changes coming up here if things don't change with those things. So, it's nice to kind of try to get ahead of that a little bit and u give people a sense of security when it comes to health because it shouldn't be this hard. >> I'm glad I'm glad you underlined the word annual because I did have a momentary panic when I looked at the employee employee contributions until I read the word annual. So, thank you. >> All right. Any other questions or comments? >> Move to approve the 2026 health benefits. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. Unless there are any consideration of future agenda items, I'd like to make a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> All right.
033Meeting adjourned. >> Congratul Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music]
