Speakers who have complaints against board members or staff are encouraged to seek resolution to those complaints by using the Rim of the World Unified School District written complaint procedure rather than orally addressing them at a meeting. The board will not respond to such complaints until the applicable complaint procedures EP/AR 1312.1 has been followed and has reached the board level. Where a

004complaint concerns a district employee identical by identifiable by name, position, or other facts, the board cannot respond until proper written notice has been given to the employee pursuant to government code 54957.

Open meeting laws do not confer any privilege or protection or expression beyond that otherwise provided by law. The public's understanding and cooperation are appreciated. So um 8.2 public comments and I have several.

005So I would like to first invite Ethan Smith is representing Ethan Smith topic concerns and disappointment regarding the TV video production CTA pathway at room high school. Good evening. I come before you today to express my disappointment in the way serious student concerns are handled at Ring High School and fear for the future of the program I hold dear. For around 7 months now, the students of CTE and SC video have been expressing our concerns and displeasures regarding our coursework and new curriculum. These concerns include, but are not limited to, strict regulations on capstone work, inconsistent dress code enforcement, lack of enforced student accountability, speed of assignment grading, instructor knowledge, and instructor engagement. Many of us have taken the proper and civil steps to make these concerns known and work with staff to remedy them.

006For all but one, it did not work. I myself have sent many emails and had conversations with my counselor, the principal, and other staff that have relevance to the CTE program. From a student perspective, all these avenues amounted to nothing. For 5 months, we sat restless. Everyone we' spoken to seemed to be apathetic or unavail or unable to help. It was only when a conversation happened in the communication app bam that took place that the conversations were beginning to kick back up. An attack an attack on myself on Justin and its reasoning took place and all students of TV video uh let out their pent up frustration. This again happened a couple weeks later on Google Classroom. The result of this was the band being deleted by our instructor, admin pulling me in directly before

007a district sponsored job interview to lecture me, and a discussion with the class the following day. Our actions in the Google classroom are not extremely professional or nice. But it was the only action to get a response of any kind. Every time we took the encouraged professional route, talking to our instructor, contacting the admin, being polite, we were ignored. It was only when the adults in charge felt attacked that they did anything. And even then, we were told to suck it up because in the real world, not everything is so kind. To that, I say this. I am a high school senior whose passion has been drained for an art I previously wanted to turn into a career. That has since changed, and my college major and attendance will reflect that. I am not a

008disgruntled employee of a major entertainment company. How are students meant to take the encouraged diplomatic means of resolution when they result in these responses? I, my peers, and many in this room who join us in support and online, will continue to exercise our right to freedom of speech and protest to fight for what we believe is just. And to those who think I am bitter or that this is a ploy to destroy the program in a spite, I assure you it is not. In the time that I have been seeking change, I produce quality content for today, assisted in finding middle ground solutions for the dress code issue, supported the program to the upcoming freshmen at open house, and more to help the program grow and and uh keep it flow. With that said, I

009encourage all of you to tune in tomorrow at 8:13 a.m. to to the Rainbow World High School YouTube channel to see the 11th episode of The Room Today. Something else I want to add is that Rim Today has always been viewed as uh comical, but not for the reason that it is now. They do not laugh at our comedy. They laugh at our pathetic news. We are a joke to our high school. We have never been a joke to our high school before. People have turned us down because they do not want to be associated with us. And I don't think that's right. Big reason. Okay. Um, based on the last public comment, I'd like to defer that situation to our school from high administration to be able to follow up on and the superintendent.

010So, let me go ahead with the um, next speaker representing Marisoto. I hope I'm pronouncing your name correctly. Amazing. and um concerns about CTE TV video. Sorry, I want to preface this by saying I'm super nervous. So, sorry about that. Oh my god. Okay, board members. Oh my god, why am I crying? My name is Amoris and I'm a student in the room today, TV video class. And I want to say before I start that I can't even begin to understand how hard your job is. And I won't pretend I do, but I know how it feels for my position. So, I'm going to share that with you. I went into my senior year very excited to be part of this advanced CP class and I was ready to accept a new teacher and give

011him the understanding I thought he deserved. I even convinced some of my classmates to stay in a class and give it a chance because I thought it was the right thing to do. Sadly, I was wrong. He constantly gets on us about turning in assignments when halfway into the semester only six things are in my grade book. Six things out of the 18 plus assignments I've completed as well as doing the daily bulletin and room today which have never even been graded at all. I've talked to students in the beginning class and I've asked them what they're doing and they can't even tell me. They were given a very large assignment without even being told when the due date was. Whenever we have a question about something AV related, our teacher tells us to ask

012our AB president or another returning advanced student for help. His teacher knows so little about his position that some of the students have even me the previous teacher for advice. Somebody who isn't even here anymore has helped us more than the current staff. Another issue is admin lying to us. We've been told that nobody else wanted the position and it was never even flown externally. It was only made known as an internal position. There's a staff member down at the middle school who was willing to come up to the high school as a part-time if it meant he got to improve the class. The previous teacher and another CTE staff wrote letters and emails trying to get the qualified educator the position. A qualified person in film and CTE, but they were ignored. Two of

013your staff workers decide when all they were trying to do was better the class. I've never seen a CTE class at such a low. From having an unqualified teacher to admin lying to us, I'm coming to you as a last resort. I've talked to every admin I can, but like the two other staff, my attempts as well as my classmates's attempts were not taken seriously. I wouldn't be talking to you if I didn't think this was a serious issue. Not only is the class, but people uh not only is the class a joke, but people treat us as one, too. Indirectly and directly, we were made fun of, poked at for fighting in something we believe in. People aren't used to standing up and fighting for something that they care about. So, we become a

014laughing stock when we've done so. But, I'm tired of being silent. So, I'm here to talk to you. And I ask that after we're done, you take to heart what we say and consider taking further steps and saving the program. And I also want to say that not only are actual students here, but people that aren't even in the class are here to support us because, you know, they care about us. So, that's all. Thank you. Thank you, Dear Donna. Apologize for my phone going off. That was Joe Bonito. Is our presentation coming up? There was a car accident right in front of her. She's okay. Her car is okay, but she's dealing with that and we'll be here in about 20 minutes or so. Thank you. Um, next speaker is Jordan. Jordan TR true.

015Okay. And that's representing yourself and concerns regarding RCT TV video pathway at run high school. Make sure it's red on top. So just hit there. You go. Now you're wait. Do it again. There. Thank you. Good evening board members. My name is Jordan and I am also a first year advanced student. I want to say I have never seen a class fall apart so quickly. The quality of work steadily declined after our previous teacher resigned. Our current teacher gives us little to no feedback on how to improve our skits. Things like camera work and basic film production are completely unknown to the teacher. I'm so nervous. All personality and emotion in our bulletin has been heavily discouraged. even going as far as regulating our dress code, regulating our speech, and regulating our overall imagery. As

016a first year advanced, I personally have lost all desire for this program. We are not taken seriously by the student body or the administration. Nobody watches the content we work so hard to produce every day. People actually turn down offers to appear in episodes we produce because they do not want to be affiliated with our program. It's sad to see it fall apart the way it did and I wish it didn't have to come to this and I wish so badly that we have been taken seriously before I had to stand in front of you today. I hope you take what we say into consideration and thank you for your time. Sydney Cook um regarding inclusion Um, before I begin, I just want to say that I love seeing students here um, advocating for themselves.

017So, good job. I'm also nervous and I'm 33, so you're all good. Okay. Um, hello board members. Um, my name is Sydney Mcook and I come to to you today not only as a teacher but as a parent of a student and future uh future students at REM. Um, this is something that's near and dear to my heart and does not have to do anything with the union. Um, so I might cry. Um, just bear with me. Um, but I won't talk about the price of eggs so you're safe. Um, as some of you may know, I have three sons ages 64 and two. Um my first two pregnancies and births went off without much pomp and circumstance. My third son is a different story. When my husband and I went to the um 20week

018ultrasound, we thought it would be just like the first two. Um an exciting time to see their scrunchy little faces and find out the gender gender. Um as we are in the appointment, the ultrasound tech is doing her thing. And then she gets real quiet and she asks if our previous pregnancies were normal. Um she tells us um he's a boy and then tells us we're going to have to speak with a neonatlogist. Well, this is something new to us. We've never had to do that. Um when we meet with her, she starts off by saying um we will only have two weeks to decide if we want to terminate the pregnancy. Um she then goes through a list of things that could be wrong. She starts off by saying he's measuring too small. He

019could have Down syndrome due to the communical folds. Um, he could have dwarfism due to short femurss. He could be incompatible with life. Um, she orders a bunch of tests and send us on our way. Um, termination was never a thought in my family's mind. As belief shell shocked, I can't help but get inside my head. What did I do wrong? And my second thought, and this is not a hyperbole, is I cannot have a kiddo with special needs go to rim. Um, now this was three years ago and I've started to see some changes for the better. I joined the inclusion committee this year and I hope you all will support our suggestions for the betterment of all room students. Um, I always play through the thought what I want this to happen to

020my son. I know we have hardworking teachers and staff but there has not been enough trainings to set them up for success. We need the support of leadership to make this happen. We need the space to make mistakes and the infrastructure for success. I'm not a credential special education teacher, but I teach students with IEPs every day. My children currently do not need special services, but they could in the future. Anyone's life could change in the blink of an eye. Would you want to go to RIM? Would you want your child to go to RIM? Thankfully, after test, we found out he was developing typically but slowly and had what is known as IUGR and he was born without any complications. I don't share this story for your pity. I share because no parent should

021have to worry about their child at school. Parents should be knocking down our doors to get kiddos here, not leaving to homeschool and roll into our schools. Let's be known as the era that made the change, not sit back and settle the complacency. Thank you. 8.3 teachers association RTA representative California actually. And um we'll go with RTA. Hi Nick. Hi, I'm Nick, RTA vice president. I hope everyone is well this evening. My comments tonight will be brief. Although the final vote on the tenative agreement is not yet in. We appreciate that the district listened to the RTA members and has agreed not to touch our benefits. While there is still work to be done in many areas, there have been positive steps forward such as the recent RTA and ed services collaboration meetings. Thank you,

022Jen. And the establishment of the inclusion steering committee. We are hopeful for a district-wide inclusion model that supports teachers and puts students first. We are also hopeful for a quick but considerate determination on the use of the bond funds. Looking to the future, we were hopeful to continue working with the district to lower class size, improve test scores, implement additional training and support, decrease teacher stress, which often leads to burnout, and increase student connections and pathways to success. Thank you. Have a great night. Thank you. And then California School Employee Association CSA rep. Do we have anybody from CSA? Okay. And moving ahead to 9.0 zero reports and presentations. Um 9.1 business services room of the world educational foundation presentation of checks. Joe Bonita on our way. We already approved the agenda as it is.

023So just be inclined to just go ahead and move forward with this presentation of checks. Um so actually if I can call our TA that would be great. I'm sorry. Yeah, we have Ian Rob who turned in. Oh, I went right through. I'm so sorry. I'm very sorry, Ian. So, actually, yeah, let me go ahead and head on back. Very very sorry. That was my my mistake. So, Ian Grove representing Ian Grove. I was right in here. Um, concern for TV video CT uh about the path it's it's pursuing. Hello bird. I'm here today to represent the beginning TV video class. My fellow students have taught me more than my teacher has and that should not be the case. There are many points that have been stated about the efforts that have gone just unjust

024and the beginning class has had similar experiences such as picking on students as well as starting projects to as use as filler when we have more project more important projects to pursue as well as uh not requiring full student attention when we are underst staffed for projects that are due that are affecting our grades and not teaching us how equipment should be used and has conflicted with the advanced class. I hope that I can help make a difference and show multiple perspectives from not just being in the advanced class. From something that I wanted to pursue as a career has now turned into something that I dread, something that I shouldn't have to feel in a classroom, and something that I really hope that other people don't have to experience anymore. Thank you. Thank you.

025Now moving back to 9.1 Remed World Educ Educational Foundation presentation of checks. So can we Priscilla? No, Bonita has the checks, but she was involved in an accident. She wasn't she wasn't you know her car isn't her but um so from what Carol said so we can let's why don't we go ahead and table it for later in the meeting. Yes. Okay. So let me let's go ahead then to 9.2 uh student representative report. Ethan Smith the world high school. Hello. I'm back. Welcome to the April school report. All right. Um, okay.

Yeah, good job.

033I'm going all right with the other board members. I'd like to cycle back to um 9.1 business services. Jordan, you good with that? Okay. Rim of the World Education Foundation presentation of checks. So happy to see you. Is I don't see Joe Bonita. Oh, there you are. I saw you walk in. So very happy to see you behind Priscilla. Absolutely. [Music] I'm trying to turn off my phone. get the button so it's red at top on the top. Oh, okay. Thank you so much. I don't have to. Yeah, we are really very happy to be here and even more so after that experience I just had. But what we're here for is to say to our students, you count so very much. We're able to raise money on your behalf to enhance the your learning

034experiences. These checks are specific to the CTE program. We have the CTu program that some of us are aware of but many of us many of our community people are not. And uh we had an experience today at the high school and had a chance to uh see the students engaged in learning these skills with the equipment. My husband was drooling because the students had equipment that he no longer has. So he wants to come back to the high school. What we are looking at with the career uh CTE program is that students learn their skills and talents. They can have access to in a school setting and they can achieve and explore their possibilities. They're not limited to a particular area. One of the things that we have found in our foundation is that

035there are so many people who are not aware that we have these excellent programs. And once they do, they say, "Oh, I'll write a check." And when we have our gayas and we have the students speak, they release their accounts to us sometimes. Um, so we thank our students for being so terrific. We have at the high school there's the simulation experience teaching students how to drive 18 wheelers. I have shared that information. Our board members have shared that information. And there are people who really can't believe that's a class students could have. And as we talked about today in our experience, we had two people, two people from um come from Berek, the trash company, and there were two men. They were uh walking through our CTE programs. They saw the stimulators. They saw

036the students uh really bumping up and down in their seats and saw the deer dash across the screen and they're learning the skills when they finish they will be able to apply for a job when they graduate. The bottom line of that was the men who were there to experience this from Bertech almost were whining. Could we try it? And they did. They got on there and they wound up needing to be prodded out of the seat. And it was such an outstanding experience that um we get support from Berek annually and I think this year we've gotten uh 1,500 $15,000 from Berek. So be nice to your trash people. Um we also have um in the funds for the high school that money is going toward the software uh the purchase of the new

037software and that software is the software is to keep the students current. So as they're learning, they're going to learn with the most current uh resources available to them and the teacher can do a variety of things as the students increase in their ability levels. So we were informed that the software needed to be up uh updated uh purchased. So we have $11,100 to cover the expense for the software. When Stephanie said, you know, we think we would like to take the CTE program to the middle school, we thought, whoa, that's cool. What would you have? What would you do? What are the plans? And in the natural Stephanie, Mrs. Phillips um format, she had about 45,000 different ideas of what could be done. And so consequently, we now have CTE at our uh middle

038school at MH. And one of the programs is the RIM reporters that is at the high school and is now at well it's at MPH as well. and the teacher informed us that they needed some resources to ensure that the students learning is also current and we're awarding $5,000 to the CTE learning program. And just as an another note, we had one of the students from the MH um rim reporters program as a reporter at our last fundraising, which was bowling for education, which some people weren't able to make it. Just saying. And uh we had a blast. Everyone was enjoying it. The young woman who um was a student, oh she is a student at MH and she to get her name correct. Um she worked with two of our board members who are

039reporters. the editor for the Alpine Mountaineer, Mary Jo Mary Justine. So she had a chance to see what an editor does at first 10 and her name is Tiana Smith and she also worked with Dave Vicki who's a writer for the Mountain News. So she had a chance to interface with professionals as part of her experience and I shared with her use that as a community service for when you apply to college when you're ready to graduate. So we're just sort of plotting the seeds out. These programs are really uniquely special in the sense that by having the students introduced to career training programs in the middle school, they're revved and ready when they're ready when they get into rim eye. And there are students who I don't even remember their names but I've encountered

040in state brothers and write aid in different places who have said I really learned where I could put myself and I could feel successful because I learned it in school. So a congratulations is to be extended to our um educators and support people in our school district. Additional thing I would like to share with you is that our foundation partners with what's called the rims rims avid scholarship program and that's been initiated by the former uh the retired county uh superintendent. And what it is is where the schools that the high schools that have the AVID program and the um in the any of the districts that are part of the rims that's Riverside um I is ino. That's right. Exactly. Riverside in um M I thought it was Mono too. Mono County. Yeah, Mono

041County and San Bernardino. I can get that one. In that program, they have avid teachers who read through the scholarships and a student can be awarded a scholarship. the the partnership that we have with our rimmed Foundation. This organization has an advocate is Dr. Reed Montgomery who is a former superintendent here. He matches what we donate and that's 750 from him, 750 from our rim school district, excuse me, Rim Foundation. and we are awarding $1,500 to this young woman who um was selected to be the recipient. And this young lady is utterly remarkable. She is um her name is Haley Vargas. She's a 3.8 GPA. She plans to study astrophysics and physics. I don't even know what you do with that. And um she was in the AVID program for four years. She's volunteered at

042the Mountain Skies Astronomical Society right next door to the high school. and she is very eager to pursue her education to receive a PhD. Wow. That's one of our students. So I at risk of being emotional for you. We don't do this by ourselves. We work a lot. We volunteer all hours. But guess what? I brought some show and tell and you can come as well and be supportive. And this is our gayla that's scheduled for May 18th at the Arrowhead uh resort and spa and it's the theme is this year is called a man goes to the movies. And as we walked around, we saw in the media course, the CTE uh class, they have posters we're going to borrow from them to decorate the hotel. So, we don't want you to miss out

043on this opportunity. So, I'll just put some of these flyers on each end. And uh are there any questions? Okay. Well, we appreciate the time. I appreciate you permitting me to avoid an accident and um we're very happy to be able to be a part of our district. Thank you. Oh, yes. Ro, come on. You guys are part of Come on, bro. Come on, bro. Get everyone out there. Okay, one of the students should take the photograph because she done it. How many? Okay, thank you. Foundation. 9.3 governing board members. Okay, so Joe Bonita stole some of my thunder because I was going to announce the gayla. Um, they sent us an invitation because I'm sure that movie character Tony Gardner will just be all over that, you know, with all of his inappropriate makeups.

044Okay, so um I did attend the bullying for education. It was really cute for both was cowboys. Cowboy and cowg girls. Let's not, you know, forget the cowg girls cuz that was cute. And um no, I did not bowl. I'm a super cury bold bowler and I don't wish myself on anybody. So um it was really fun to watch. Really, really cute. It was packed and um just people were having so much fun. So really great. Next year if you can go, I would recommend going because it really is a fun fun way to fundra. Um, I want to say that the Goosebumps Play, I know that they're coming up, but Goosebumps Play, which again up my alley, is is happening. Um, the elementary schools are going to be invited to come. Um, so obviously

045age appropriate. Uh, I'm going to go see it April 25th. I'm really excited and I'm I am actually my husband's excited about it, too. So, there you go. Yeah. Spirit fingers. And the band, I want to give a shout out to our band and our choir. They just do such great work. And all that work pays off in being recognized with what is like first and second places in competitions against very very large bands and and choirs. And they are amazing. They may be small, but they are so mighty. So, I want to um tell you that Sunday, April 27th, 12:30 p.m. is going to be a fundraising concert. But the really cool thing about this is that it's at the uh Lake Arrowhead Resort is that you the kids who come can try out

046the instruments and see what they like to play and maybe get interested in music. So, I encourage everybody to bring your kids to the event, let them play around with the instruments, and see our amazing jazz band. That jazz band is amazing. Um, they also are going to be having a um May 3rd at 5:00 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church. They got the spaghetti dinner and the silent auction going. This one is specifically to raise new money for their uniforms. They have not new uniforms in decades and decades. Thanks to the parents, the booster parents that have been taking such great care of those uniforms. I love seeing those parents make sure that those kids do not eat and drink in those uniforms during football games. I think it's really funny. Um, so anyways, I

047they've been stretched really far, but they do need an update. So, please go support them, get that money in so that they can get some new uniforms. Um, I'm excited. It is scholarship season. So, um, last month all the community scholarship applications were available for kids to seniors in our district to be picked up, RBA, Mountain, as well as RIM. and they were all submitted um yesterday and today were um student interviews for room scholarship council uh and you should walking on the campus it was you could tell which kids were doing the interview they looked really spiffy they were dressed to the nines and I haven't I love seeing guys in black pants and white button shirts they look so good so um the community interviewers were super impressed and inspired. That word inspired

048was used by several of our community interviewers and they just thought our kids were amazing. Amazing. Truly inspiring and they, you know, they always want to come back and and do interviews every single year. That's how wonderful our kids are. And with that, was also talked about when they did report out how great our kids are. And I think that's really awesome because every wasp visitation since I've been a part of high school, they always talk about how awesome our kids are, how polite, how articulate, how how we are just super lucky to have a student population like this. So I just wanted to say was um great. I helped out a little bit by doing PTA stuff like food really just food and then we did the baked potato bar for the staff lunchon

049to say yahoo we finished let's party on guard and so um the readout was really great I don't want to steal the thunder from the report out but it it was it was they took the was recommendations that this high school identified themselves and just added one A2G completion and um which is really great. They didn't add on additional uh areas of growth and and I just they were very complimentary of the school. So that was great to hear. Um today when I was setting up little continental breakfast for our community interviewers for scholarships um afterwards Lisa Melart College and career counselor were working with students and I'm like oh are they doing she goes no they're doing college applications so I went over to one kid and he's doing his college application for crafting

050and I said well what do you want to do and he goes I want to be a firefighter and I said really and I just thought that was so Great. And I said, "Are you going to make sure that you, you know, if we ever have a fire up here again? Hopefully never, but you're going to stand ready and you're going to defend and you're going to save my house and then I can make you chocolate chip cookies because you saved my house." And he's like, "Yeah, you have a deal." So, it was really great to see our college and career counselor doing one- on-one work with on the students and getting the the community college applications done. I think it's really essential to have that one-on-one motivation and encouragement to for students that don't

051want to go to a full year and they're completing those community college applications. That that was kind of I I love seeing our money at work, so to speak. We put our money into Lisa and and she really does deliver with that one-on-one work with both Rim High School, Mountain, and RVA. So, um, just saying. And lastly, we have teacher and staff appreciation week coming up. We have all these events for that PTA and the district are are going to do. Really exciting. We just want to give our love for everything that our staff does during the the year. So, and the district office is going to get some love for Mountain Council. There you go. So, that's it. Thank you, Cindy Jordan. Thank you. I want to express appreciation for all the students that

052came to show up at our board meeting and make their voices heard. I think it's always wonderful to use your voice for advocacy and uh so I want to express appreciation for that. Uh I've been a bit busy as of late. Uh I'm happy to share with folks that on March 28th we welcomed a wonderful baby to this world. [Music] So coming up on three weeks now. It's been a very busy week. I can definitely say life has changed and uh but uh all for the better. So I'm extremely thankful, grateful for that. I'm uh pleased and looking forward to uh yeah to being the parent of a future RIM graduate. Um, with that, I am also looking forward to, uh, reintegrating into some some of our school events that we've got going on. I'll

053be at the, uh, some of the open houses coming up at, uh, RVA, non high school, and CH I have on the on the books, so I'm looking forward to being at those uh, for time with trustees or banter with the board, however you want to think of it. Um, and uh, I I'll keep it uh, yeah, I'll keep it brief there. Also, oh actually just a small update that um for our last board meeting, I'm working on our uh advocacy platform that we had all aligned on and we'll have a graph ready for everyone and I'll share it uh as soon as I complete that. Thank you. Thank you, Jordan. And I'll give my comments now. For starters, I want to congratulate the Rody family and baby Teao is very, very lucky. And so

054I'm glad all is going well there. I want to reiterate what um Jordan said as well. Student voice is incredibly important. Um he mentioned the time of trustees or banter with the board. I think it's going to show up as neat and mingle. Um and that's so each of the different um open houses that's the flyer has that as a soiteration is good. Um, so I really do encourage anybody who wants to have a conversation with us um, about anything. I mean, G-rated, please to come attend. Hey, it's before each of these different events, we want to be able to make sure that we're available and if those times aren't convenient and repeat what Jordan tends to say pretty much like clockwork with public comments is we are all available, reachable by email and then

055to be able to meet as desired. I'd like to think that all of us even Bill and Scott who are unfortunately absent today are all very accessible and we care and so those conversations are important to us. So the meet and mingle it could be that you have a question, a concern or an idea or just want to meet and mingle, you're encouraged to do so. Um I enjoy the Rivet Foundation coming and sharing with us their their fantastic um support of the school district. I appreciate Joe Bonita's comments about um Stephanie Phillips's work. Our ROCT program has been well celebrated over the decades and it is definitely um the fruits of a lot of people's efforts but definitely I'd say more than anybody would be Stephanie and I do appreciate her effort and all

056that she does for the school district. So very preaching for me. Um, additionally, especially on a day like today, I'm in awe of our bus drivers. Um, they probably have the hardest job of any bus driver in the state, maybe the country, and the fact that they shepherd our students back and forth on a daily basis on the work they do. I would be terrified driving a bus in this weather. I'd have a hard enough time with my mini. And so I just wanted to express my appreciation to the work that our bus drivers do. And please note that me expressing this appreciation to these phenomenal individuals does not take away from anybody else's effort. But I did want to give them a shout out today. They're they've been doing wonderful work and oftentimes in

057the worst conditions. So thank you. Um also want to express appreciation to our negotiation teams. It's a hard job. It's not fun to go in and do negotiations. It's hard work. There's a lot of learning that has to happen. a lot of a lot of productive hopefully constructive communication and it's uh in some ways I would say kind of a thankless job and the work that's been doing they've been doing has been phenomenal and I appreciate it. Um and let me see if I have anything else here. Not right now. I was going to talk about the fundraising for for band and that's incredibly important and I appreciate that Cindy did a beautiful job of putting it together. Oh, there was one other thing I was going to mention reiterating what something that Cindia said

058is last night at her med Foundation's um board meeting, one of the members who had participated in the scholarship um um interviews was just talking about just how amazing an experience it was out there. So anybody present, anybody who is maybe youtubing it or you know looking at us online if they do want to get in help with students in volunteer, it will be one of the most amazing experiences they can have. Our students are wonderful and they show well and they do great things. Our staff is too. But the opportunity to do those interviews with those students, I know time and time again I hear from the volunteers who do it just how incredibly impressed they are. and um makes me proud, but it also speaks to our students, our staff, our community that

059we do have such amazing individuals that are connected to our district. So, with that, I will turn it over to the next item, which is 9.4, Superintendent Dr. Paul Si. Thank you. Uh just a couple of uh quick things. Um one is the importance of student voice. Tonight was really a prime example of that. Our student voice empowers our students express their ideas, values, and perspectives and allows students to contribute to making learning experiences more memorable. It also involves students having a say in decisions that impact their learning and the learning environment. On March 27th, I participated in a activity with the LCAP student focus group and social justice committee uh coordinated by our own Whiteside. Uh present for that meeting were representatives of students who represented kind of our uh the entire district makeup

060and it was um the demographic makeup of our district. Um we also had our student board rep Ethan Smith was there um CT coordinator Miss Phillips, principal William, assistant super assistant principal Miss Ro director Miss Whiteside and board of trustee Mr. Crab and board president Goodwin. The purpose of that committee was twofold. One is to to give feedback on the LCAP and what are the priorities of our LCAP as that will drive what we do as a district in terms of student learning and engagement of our community. Uh yes uh students were allowed to use their cell phones uh to uh answer questions electronically of course with the permission of principal William. Next, uh I had an opportunity to facilitate a discussion about the uh the progress. We had a social justice committee that came

061with 14 recommendations. And um the students got to share and discuss which one of these were the most important to continue our work on. And I I must say that that proved to be the most engaging discussion that we've had in a long time with students and and faculty. And uh what they talked about was why some of these uh recommendations came forward from this committee were important. They talked about importance of you know their coursework in as English learners. They talked about you know having fair elections in ASV. the things that were really important to students and a chance for adults to listen and have that discussion. Um, students also shared their ideas on a lot of other topics. But what impressed me most was the their high level of ability to communicate uh

062in that meeting uh with each other and with adults. And that came out loud and clear. um student voice, you know, really impacts what we do in education and we need to continue to encourage that in our schools. Um unfortunately, we ran out of time in that meeting so we end up uh rescheduling. I look forward to our second meeting which will be on May 1st. I get that one right? Okay. a lot of lot of meetings and uh but we believe this is going to be a really an important meeting for shephering that student voice and making adjustments in what we do to improve the learning experience of students. So thank you for allowing me that time to share that. Thank you. 9.5 Educational Services Rimma of the World School Drama Troop 145 will

063present information on their experiences and successes while participating in the 2025 California State Busking Festival and will highlight their upcoming musical performance. Good evening board members. My name is Emily Chis. I am the Troop 145 president. I am Alex Cortez. I am Troop 145 vice president. I am Leila Dennis. I'm Troop 145 sophomore representative. And these are our updates and recaps from the past few months of Rim High Theater. These are our state desk and festival highlights. Um, the night we we all got there, we went to a dinner together and talked about the days pro the days ahead and planned things. Would you guys do that? Where was that? Huh? Where? Where is that? Um, we went to the restaurant called BJ's. Okay. I love that place. What What city you went to? Do

064you know where you guys were? I know. Yeah, those are really good. Ontario. So on day one of festival, we had three students who auditioned for an activity called Playworks. And Playworks is essentially um productions that haven't been published yet and students are able to give a voice to characters in those productions and they are able to showcase this work. Uh meanwhile, two other students did an activity called room chairs where they were able to sit while um pieces were being judged and they were able to time those pieces and they earned 10 hours of community service. 10 hours of community service and other meanwhile uh the rest of the students did um workshops to help promote um their learning in the theatrics. Some prominent workshops were exploring the greatest showman, um, old age makeup,

065and then, um, beginning juggling, and that was really cool to experience. And, uh, at the end of the day, we had a mainstage event in Bridges Auditorium, which is that beautiful theater with the Greek mural on the top of the roof. It's beautiful. And um during that we saw some of the judges choices for scenes that were judged earlier in the day and we had a guest speaker talk about his theatrical career and gave advice to the next generation and it was really cool to experience. Um on our festival day two myself and our vice president went to vote for the next STO's state thespian officers. um we heard from speeches and from those candidates we voted for the next STO's. As we were doing that, our fillet troop members went on two more theater

066related workshops consisting of Australian accent workshops, costumeing workshops and um performance combat. Um just to name a few, there's a lot of other ones such as British accent workshops. I myself attended that one. That one was really cool. Um, at the end of the day, we watched another performance at Bridger's Auditorium with more uh with a one act performed by a troop and some more competition winners for categories such as monologues, duet acting, and individual dance. On day three, we watched another event at Frigid Auditorium where there was a short play that was worked on by people throughout the weekend. Um, awards were given out for competition winners and next year's STTO officers were announced. Afterwards, we went and took group photos and headed back home. Okay. Our current project, as stated by multiple people

067before us, is Goosebumps: The Phantom of the Auditorium, and which is premiering Friday, April 25th. So, next Friday. It's very exciting. So, here is our cast.

Bat brass shells on our face stage that is used throughout multiple scenes. and then a lever made by our props manager, Leila Dennis. Goosebumps Phantom of the Auditorium opens on April 26th at 6:00 p.m. Um, we hope to hear to hope Oh, hold on. We hope that you come by to hear our cameo appearance from our principal and vice principal, Mr. Williams and Mr. Keiny. [Music] Thank you so much. I have a question. In the lobby, you usually have like a

069that one wall you guys paint for pictures. Is are you guys painting that? Yes, the mural is underway. It looks really cool. I love that mural. Thank you so much. That was wonderful. Uh let me see here 9.6 educational services presentation of the room of the world high school western association of school and colleges call it was Rita hello Mr. Sey, right? Thank you very much for having us uh have me tonight. I wanted to take this opportunity to uh kind of share how our wasp visit went. Uh we have our full self uh study this year and our visit on March 16th through 19th and we wanted to share with you the progress and then also what we were how we're responding to it as a school. So, if you're not familiar, WASK is

070part of a six-year cycle where it begins with a self-study and then how that the findings from that self-study come and guide your work for the next six years. Usually something happens at year three, whether it's a report or a midcycle visit. Um, and then that continues continues all the way till the end of the cycle. This year was the self-study for us. Back in 2018 2019 was our last full self-study. Uh there was a 2122 midcycle visit and then the 2425 was our solid. Um this work started um over a year ago. We began putting the teachers into focus groups and they looked analyzed every part of our school under the five categories of loss um which are curriculum, instruction, um governance, organization, and culture. And that's going to that guides all of our

071work. and we take a critical look at every angle of our school and we figure out what are we doing well and what do we need to improve upon and what are the steps we're going to take. Um that all happened. We sent the report off last November and the was committee came in on March 16th to validate that work to see if we were on the right track to provide additional ideas and give us an idea of you know if if we're headed in the right direction. Um I shared these with you before but effectively we sent um in four areas of growth that we were focusing on. One was um supporting all of our students particular English learners. We've talked in the past of a a you a new challenge that we're facing

072at the high school with that. Um our GBC and common assessment work through our PLC's continuing our March short inclusion and then as our demographic is shifting having a focus on more inclusive culture um that connects all of our students to the school and to the community. Um overall the the visiting committee was very happy with what they saw. They they agreed with all of our um all of our growth. Um they added one which we'll talk about in a minute. But but essentially the five categories that we I talked about there 19 kind of subcategories that we all get ranked on. Um after the committee left they ranked RIM as either very effective or effective in every single category. um our W was coordinator, Crystal Cobb, who's gone on 7,500 wasp visits, um said

073she's never seen um a score scoring this high for a school. Um just showing that, you know, the work of the staff is really starting to show through quite a bit. So, we're really really proud of that. Um so, on top of all of that, the school or the I'm sorry, the committee listed 19 areas of strength of our school. everything from our SLT to our PLC model to our school culture. Um there are 19 areas that are listed in the WASP report. Um and they agreed with our four areas of growth, but they added one and the one that they added was for us to increase A throughG completion across the site. And I think um this is a really important one for us as a school. um what the WS committee shared and

074you know what I I believe as well is that it's not it it feels sometimes at the high school um that there's a college camp or a career camp, right? It feels like you're either in the camp of kids should take CTE who needs all the extra math and science or kids need all the extra math and science who needs CTE. And what the was validating is that no, it needs to be both. Um, if you want to be a welder, great. Let's put you in a welding shop, but let's make sure you have all the math, English, and history that you need in order to have a a cast as wide net possible. What we're trying to do is we're trying to provide as many opportunities at for students as possible and make sure

075they're as marketable as possible as they move forward. So, you don't have to be going to college to get A through G. We want to provide them with the most rigorous course of study that we can at the high school. And so I think this is a really important area that they identified that even if we can't get a student A throughG, how close can we get them to A throughG? That's what we want to focus on. We want to start every student on an A throughG track. If a student falls off of the A throughG track, we need to find a way to get them back on and not just say, "Oh, go ahead and take five electives your senior year." We don't do that, but as an example, so um RHS has uh

076been did our actual accreditation decision um once uh the Wasque the whole Wasp group meets um ultimately that's going to come probably at the sometime in late May. The committee meets, the big W was committee meets at the end of April and they review all the wasp visiting reports and ultimately what they try to do or what they do then is either validate what the committee says or make changes to it. Um based off of our rankings and all the categories, we're pretty confident that we have the accreditation that we need. The question will just be what happens at that midcycle visit. So ultimately it's on us as a school to figure out what we need to do now with these recommendations. The recommendations from 2019 drove the work of the school for the last

077six years. Now the recommendations from 2025 need to uh drive the work for the next six years. Ultimately the first step is for us to take our SIPA and align it to the new areas of growth. We'll be adding some new goals. We'll be taking some changes and showing some different action steps that are in alignment. Many of them already are in alignment because of the things we've identified. We have a focus on ELS. We have a focus on all the things. Um, we are going to focus on our EL support. We started something really exciting. Um, our, uh, E coordinator, Miss Johnson, started MTSS team strictly for our ELELS. Um, they're taking a deep dive looking at the data of our, you know, students. How are they scheduled? Where are they, what supports are

078they being provided? Are we best using our bilingual aids in the way that we can? They're taking actually take doing a lot of work right now with AI not necessarily to translate but to simplify the English language while still giving the students the support. So taking an exam using AI to simplify the English so they can still access the content. So they're doing some really interesting and exciting work with there. Um and that's all going to be part of our EL master plan. Um we're very grateful for the bilingual eight hours that we received this year that has definitely made an impact in the GBC and common assessment world. Our PLC's are going to be um use taking what they've built over the last two years. Last year was building the curriculum. This year was

079the assessment and next year is actually um some departments have already started but schoolwide implementing those assessments and true data cycles because that's the next step of that journey. As far as the cultural intentionality, making sure we're connecting all students to campus. Um we're taking steps and efforts to intentionally include all cultures in our campus. Um in our last pep rally our uh one of our clubs Kasa de Rim brought up some Spanish dancers which was really cool. They performed at the pep rally. Um we doing link crews. Last year we started day of understanding. We continued it this year. That was a very very very powerful program for our sophomores. Um as far as the inclusion is concerned. The implementation of 11th grade is next year. We did nth grade last year. We're kind

080of that group of students. as that student group of students moves along high school, our inclusion is growing. So we go into 11th grade uh last year or next year. Uh we had staff PD and then one thing that we did very intentionally this year was um enhanced articulation alignment with NPH. The students coming in from NPH already have their case carriers, their carriers, they already have their needs and we're building that master schedule in alignment with that which is a really neat thing. As far as A through G, um our counseling team has worked really hard to develop some scheduling guidelines. So, it's not necess it's not just based off it's done consistently across all the counselors with a focus on starting students on an A throughG track as well as getting them um

081a plan for if they fall off the A throughG track, what do we do? You know, one key change is we're saying, okay, if you got two DS and your IM1, because IM1 is one that pushes kids off the A through G track, we either give you um uh summer school options or we reschedule an IM1 for next year because um our team SLT team ran data and for all the students with a DD D first semester, D second semester, they um only two paths IM2. So that showed that we weren't what we were doing wasn't working. And so now by giving them an additional opportunity and exposure to the IM1 curriculum, we can keep more kids on that A throughG track. So it's things like that that we're trying to be very strategic about.

082We have we have prerequisites for any student who wants to have a period off or TA. They must be A throughG compliant or they're not getting the TA or the period off. Right? just things like that where we're focusing on college and career so that students are leaving with exposure in both areas. They've taken some of our fabulous CTE programs which Miss Bose will talk about in a minute, you know, and they received a regular a rigorous course of study in the core academic classes. It can be both and it needs to be both for our students and the WAS committee validated that. So ultimately this is going to be what the um what's going to drive the school for the next three years. These are our SIPA goals. These are our new law schools

083that align. You'll see that they pretty well align with each other. And this is going to be everything that drives the work of the high school for the next six years. And that is our report. Any questions? Just one comment. There was one thing that was uh at the readout that was heavily complimentary that you didn't mention is they repeatedly talked about the strength of the leadership on on site. And so um I don't know why you didn't mention that, but I just wanted to it was wonderful to hear and it wasn't just said as a throwaway comment. It was repeatedly mentioned and they were highly impressed and I think that it's it's definitely worth mentioning and thank you. Thank you. It's you know as much as I like to take credit for that and

084we have a really good team. There's the leadership at the high school comes in a lot a lot of different people and we're you know really happy with that. Absolutely. And and I think Crystal was a part I mean it's not just administration the legal leadership across the board. Absolutely. Um but it was it is a whole team and it can't be a single individual and they were impressed and I I'm appreciative. Thank you. Also want to say kudos to making sure that almost every course is A3G approved. That's a lot of work to get that um approved through the UC portal. So, it's easier to to get A3G completion rate um done. And um like the WAS committee said in the readout um relating to A throughG, it's not about college. you're going to

085college and that's why you're completing the A3G. But completing all those courses has rigor in them and therefore that rigor that the the things you learn in those courses can be taken with you. Whether you go directly into the workforce, you go into the military, you're probably going to do better on the ASVAB. Then that way it sets you up for greater success in the military. And then of course you know having the choice and I'm always a firm believer that the the school should not get in the way. We should not be making that choice for the student. We should give every single opportunity to make sure that they are making the choice in senior fall of senior year of what they want to do workforce military trade two-year college or fouryear. And if

086we have not done the best job possible in giving them every option on the table their senior year, then we failed that kid. And so it's really a big thing for me. I think it's me personally because um college changed my family's life. It changed my life. I was first generation and I can see how it can positively impact not only your own life but the rest of your family's life. And so I'm just such a big proponent and it's not because I think every kid should go to college because there are kids like my husband who who just has a different path but we should be making sure that they have the choice that we didn't s undermine or sabotage or give didn't give them the support they needed to make their own choice.

087So, I'm really appreciative that I mean it added one more area of growth, but I just really appreciate the fact that we'll be able to um focus on that and that we as a board and a district will will keep these five areas, but now it it gives us teeth to our discussions, to our support to say, "What do you need? What can we do? What else do you need for these five areas?" and and be able to make sure that we support the growth of the high school and that the the wasp midter midcycle visit sees that. So I just was appreciative now I'll get off my soap box was one question actually I wrote it down but I think it's probably not answerable at this moment but I'll throw it out there. You

088had mentioned one of the barriers for A3G completion is 911 especially looking at lack of success both first and second semester and second semester success is often oftentimes predicated on first semester success and continually moving forward because it scaffolds wondering about the possibility of having somehow maybe with RVA as an option having those students who aren't successful first semester having the opportunity to repeat first semester second semester rather than continuing on with the next set of tasks when they don't have mastery of the prerequisite. So having that flexibility. Yeah. No, we're definitely looking at um different structural options that can happen. Some of those are heavier lifts. I know, you know, some um some schools if they fail the first semester, they go on to a different track of kind of doing like an ABC.

089So at the end of the second year, they've completed the IM1 um pathway. So, you know, that's certainly an option. Yes, looking at the options through our egeneuity is certainly an option. Um, one thing that we did start doing it with our inclusion is we have our special education students in IM1 and they go through the whole as much as the semester as possible. If not, we start to dual roster them um where we switch them to a non A3G course where they're still in the room, but then they have the opportunity to take it and then get on A3G track from that point. So, we are looking for those options. Some of those are a little bit heavier lifts and we're kind of trying to figure out what's the best course of action from

090there. Fantastic. Thank you. And I just want to give props to to the math department because um they did the work the last couple years as reported by Mr. Wong toe of going through identifying essential skills, creating the assessments around them and this year they're doing that assessment cycle and and looking at that data in PLC. So it's it's exciting that we're getting into that place where all the departments are going to be in that cycle. Yeah. and the three or four three or four years ago the align the alignment of the courses not only in math but in all the subjects in the last three or four years you know is truly remarkable and it's a place that the high school because of the PLC structure that we have in place it's allowed us

091to get to a point that the high school hasn't been ever so that's that's pretty exciting congratulations by the way I mean that was a lot of work and you guys passed with blind colors I know I know. Let's go to BJ's. No, I'm just kidding. Thank you. 9.7 Educational Services presentation of the career technical education CTE pathways college and career data report. Mrs. Phillips. One moment. Go ahead, Mark. I'm gonna to check something real quick while you're setting that up. Um Cindy, you mentioned choices and choices for our students, which um helped me remember what I was doing sixth period today. Um the sixth period freshman English. The teacher was out. We had a sub and our Rotary was at our campus today doing the choices program. So, I thought I better go in

092there and just make sure things go well. And this was a challenging freshman class. The Rotarians do an amazing job. And I just want to make everybody aware of this of what Rotary does for our school and our students. So they're presenting choices today and tomorrow in our freshman English classes. And it's giving the students the thoughts of what are you going to do and here you are right now and where are you going to go and where you want to be and you know when you want to retire, you know, what career do you want? So, it was really uplifting to be in there and be a part of it. And so, when you mentioned choices, I thought, oh, I want to mention that. And just a big shout out to our Rotarians for

093what they do for us, our Rotary groups and clubs. Thank you, Mayor Justine. Okay, CTE. I get to live in the CTE world. I am blessed. Okay, you can. Next slide, Mark. Um, you have your brochure in front of you. It shows the courses that we offer and um the pathways that they are in. So you can see them all up there. And I'm going to make this 10 minutes or less. Uh currently we have seven CT pathways. Um as we shrink and as our student body shrinks then um and when people retire or leave and sometimes we have to make adjustments, but that's okay. We're still going to offer CTE. Next slide, please. So CTE is part of our college and career indicators. Um CT pathway completion is part of the college and career

094indicators on the California school dashboard which is up there. But the CT completer is any student who completes a two-year program of study. Uh CT pathway is a specific CTE industry sector and it's um laid out in the brochures that you have and CTE is included in our pack. Next slide please. Mark grants and funding. So the CT programs, equipment, consumables, supplies, field trips, etc. are funded mainly through donations and grants. So ongoing grant writing is essential to staying relevant, rigorous, and engaging. And yearly grant writing is ongoing for the following grants. Carl Perkins. Um I got that email, I think it was about two weeks ago. We will be receiving Carl Perkins again next year, but they've not given us the allocation yet. Who knows what's going on in the government. Um, CIG, career

095technical education incentive grant, we wrote for that. We received it. It's in the uh to be approved tonight. $155,589 will be coming to Rim School District for our um CT department. We did not write for K12 because we're writing for what we need. We don't we have to stay within our boundaries. We have to have um show a match. CEK is a 2 to1 match. CIG is a much easier grant to you spend it and do more stuff. K12 is much more strict. So if we don't need anything too much then we go with CIG. If we need a lot or more we go with K12. Next slide please. So CTE is also part of the school plan for student achievement and and falls into the six of goals. We are rigorous, relevant and engaging

096learning. Come in and visit and you will see we um every student we are preparing every student for college and or career and in some cases college and career. We have some really amazing high quality physical environments that our students learn and get to spend that um really engaging time in. And we cherish the parent and community involvement. Next slide, please. So, this is our data along with some fun pictures that of things that happen within our program. I love our picture in the top left corner. That's our two female students in Belgium. They have so much fun in there. Um, okay. So, the first circle, this data is last year's data. It's because it's last year's data. Excuse me. Um, we do all the work with it. This year's data will be on next

097year's report. So we had 90% completion rate within the CT program. We had a 100% graduation rate meaning every student whom in the CT department they did graduate. Our placement rate was 100%. Placement rate means we wait five six months about seven months sometimes out and we call the students who have graduated where are you what are you doing? It's really fun to do because they're like, "Oh my gosh, you really do care." Um, the second column over course completion rates, that's by the individual courses and the completion rates. Some of them that have a lower completion rate. Sometimes the completion rate gets low because a student won't stay in the course the whole time. They'll it'll they'll be transferred out or they leave school or something like that. Bottom enrollment by industry. Those are

098the industries that we have the enrollment by. Um then in those enrollment by grade level, last year we had 473 students enrolled in CTE, 15 courses offered and that 15 courses because we have beginning and advance in um the courses and then six industry sectors. There's that number right there at the bottom that says 483 in on the blue. That's how many students we have enrolled this year. Just thought about that. Next slide, please. Stephanie, I have a really quick question. on that slide on the 473. Are those students counted once in enrollment? Because I know that some students take several courses. Some last year we um pulled that out and that's those that are enrolled. So it's like total enrollment. Okay. So some so some might be double counted individual student number. Yes. Okay.

099So through grants we get to go on some really amazing field trips. Top left we um participated our welding um advanced welding students participated in the East Valley inaugural welding wars competition held at Sanino Valley College in the welding section um department down there. Two of the students up there are females. Two of them are one's a junior, one's a senior and they're continuing on to Valley College for welding when they get done. Two of the male students are seniors and are continuing on to the um uh Wyman the Wyman school and then the bottom are the them doing the competition down there. Um in the middle we took our students up to the Victor Valley College Apple Valley Public Safety Training Center. What an amazing experience that was. They got to experience fire, police,

100um EMR, all that kind of stuff. The picture in the middle on the left, you can see a white screen in there with the red stripe. That's a simulator with the public service and so the police officers and then they put the students in front of the screen and it's a scenario the scenario that they did and the students you know had the the gun this and that um was an active shooter and so the students participated and they're like so they the they had a blast. Um in the far right we took our students down to the local teeners career day down in San Bernardino. um they got to um experience um interactions and conversations with the teamsters and the different organizations and businesses. And then back in October, we were at the raceway

101in Bakersville with our students working as our race pit crew. In November, we took a group of them to the Pomona Fairflex Raceway. Um and in November, we're back at Vegas in the Motor Speedway. April, uh we just took them a group of them down to Craftton Hills College. Our fire students got that personal um tour. In May, we're taking a group of our students to Sanino C. Uh it's actually I messed up. It's not counting. Sanino City Fire. And then also in May, we're going to Cal State Sanino to the communication and meeting department. Next slide, please. This is a fun one. So, we have these pharmacy tech students. Um Sanino Valley College um pharmacy tech program. they came up and we did this uh workshop with the students which are the pictures in

102the right side. So we had them in the rooms and doing all this like hands-on experience and then from that we had seven of them that applied for the program. We're down to four. Some of them has had to so it's six courses. So pharmacy tech students are finishing up their two lab courses at Sanino Valley College. So they're going on Saturdays. They started they're ending in May since January to May. Um uh the program consists of six courses plus an extership. Students are expected to complete the courses in training by mid December which qualify them to apply for the state lensure. The um comment at the bottom was from the students. They said this group has had so much fun with their amazing professor and thank you for giving us this opportunity. We really

103appreciate and appreciate it and we love Mrs. Sne. that's their um her their instructor down there. So, they're doing this on Saturdays through snowstorms and everything else. Um next slide. And the CT collaborative career internship. We have this is new. This is what um the um the grants that the district applied for and we're working with. We've placed nine students in the following paid industry um internships. a rim graphic design shop. And that's Keegan. Um that was the first one to sign. So that's why we took the picture. And Keegan um is in his fourth year in the um graphic design course at room high school and is going on to the University of Hawaii in the fall studying graphic design. How sad for him. University of Hawaii. Yeah. The weather's horrible. And then we

104have two we have one student at the San Region Land Trust, two students at Renie Springs Fire Department, two students at Lulu Bell's Coffee House and Bakery, four students at Sky Park, and we're waiting with Mountains Community Hospital to get back. The lady I'm working with there, she's on vacation this week, and we're hoping to place at least like maybe four students there. So, it's been a lot of fun and very interesting and rewarding. And I think that's it. Next slide. Yeah, we love CTE. Any questions? Thank you. 10.0 discussion action items. 10.1 Superintendent Legislative and Advocacy Report. Fiscal impact none. Should I start? Okay, go for it. All right, so some updates on some of the things that we have discussed in the past. AV 1111, which is the EV buses, pushing that back

105by 10 years to 2045. It did pass the Assembly Education Committee and it's now in the commit committee on transportation. Um AB1468, we didn't take a position on the ethnic studies bill. It is still in the ED committee right now. um in AB65 Shannon parental leave the 14 additional weeks um that did pass out and it's now at the Assembly of Higher Education. So just letting you know those statuses. Um SANDES did also uh vote to support AB 1111 the EV buses. So that's kind of cool. Um, a couple of things I know we're voting on. We're talking we're going to be talking about AB887, the computer science. Interesting. There's there were two more that we discussed at CSBA ledge committee. two bills introduced uh SB531 which would um amend expand or ex um existing

106curriculum requirements and SB531 it would be in the me adding mental health education as a course of study and then SB584 would be adding civil civic engagement um course um the It's interesting because there's a process to go through to introduce new new curriculum or add a course or or a graduation requirement. And it's it's about the process which is that everything is supposed to start with the instructional quality commission and then they develop the curriculum frameworks and then they work with the state board of education to develop make recommendations and and then S um state board they adopt the curric curriculum frameworks and the frameworks are established to to they establish the criteria for the instructional materials to be used and then it goes through a whole textbook adopt uh approval. um what materials

107are to be approved for legislators to bypass this and put additional requirements on teachers. Although they may be really good intentions, as somebody has said over and over and over again, if every flippin standard, oops, sorry, every standard is taught in the in the curriculum, it would add years of study to high school. And yet we have people that want to continue to add and add. And while I I understand the intentions, I just feel that circumventing the process is just not okay. It's not appropriate to legislate curriculum. And so, um, CSBA voted to oppose these two bills for for a myriad of reasons that I can't discuss because it was discussion that's confidential. But basically, it's it's just the fact that we should not be using these bills to add more to our curriculum,

108which adds more pressure for a teacher to get through every unit by the end of the school year. It's it's they're already under enough of pressure as it is with the curriculum that we have. So, make some choices. Do we want to do a deep dive and do quality instruction with what we have or do we want to just keep adding to the plate and start cutting cutting down on our instructional time? Um then the um you you bet we already talked about 887 then I do have to apologize. I realized today that I never sent Jordan the SANDAPS platforms for the federal and state um that has, you know, facilities language, the fair funding language, all of that, so that he can use that as like the jumping off point for our own rim

109advocacy platform. So I apologize that I take full responsibility for that. And then I I was a little busy. I know. So I'm taking that as an excuse. Um I did want to mention that a bill 218 AB 218 which has to do with the statute of limitations for child sexual assault and molestation. This bill had again good intentions of recognizing that when when the the the three to five well it's five years now starts when a a a I hate to use the word victim but when a a a student that experienced sexual assault or molestation when they remember it not when it happened but when they remember it. So they could through therapy or through other aha moments realize what they experienced. That ticker then starts at that point. So that um student

110may be 40 years old, they may be 25 years old, but they can bring this allegation and the in while that is noble and we recognize that that students need to have that voice so to speak even after they may have left a school district. the ramifications that you are seeing lawsuits. Some some districts have hundreds, some have tens, like 50, 60 lawsuits. And what what is happening is that some of these cases go back to like the 1970s, the 1980s. the insurance company isn't even around anymore or they don't they're not the insurance company of the school district. The people involved at that time aren't even on that on in that school district anymore. Maybe they passed away. Maybe they left the state. They've left the district. So, you can't and and then there's

111the records. Where are the records? because it it's it's almost impossible to properly go through an investigation from that long ago. And the district is is at a disadvantage. And I'm not saying that the the student of um the child of sexual assault or molestation is is wrong to bring it. I totally support that. But the unintended consequences of this bill can drive a district into bankruptcy. And so there's a bill that's been introduced SB832 um by Senator Allen that would make some course corrections to AB28 that would help mitigate some of the unintended consequences and and he is going to come under a lot of attack because it it makes it seem like if you support this bill any way or wrote this bill in any way that you are not a victim advocate.

112That's not true. All it is is trying to find a balance. A balance that doesn't drive a school district into insolveny. So just if you guys want to read it, I'll send you some information. Senate bill. It's Senate Bill 832. 832. And it's it it just helps because it it it's become scary and and there are many districts around us that are are really struggling with this. There was a huge huge um case with LA Unified that um settled for I don't even remember I mean like many many many millions and the unintended consequence is that money comes out of the general fund and impacting today's students. So there's no good solution, but for a district like ours, not to say that there might be anything that might come back or anything like that, but

113it would become so incredibly damaging to what we're trying to accomplish today. Not to take away from the trauma that had happened or is happening, you know, that for some an individual, but it's terrifying to think that there we're so vulnerable. And it's it's you're you have it exactly correct that the that we don't want the the settlement of the past to so severely impact the education of today's students. And if you think, oh, the insurance takes care of it, no, the insurance doesn't take care of all of it. Some of it will come out of your general fund. And when you're talking that settlements of millions and millions of dollars, it it can have a devastating impact on a district and its students. So just and with a situation like that with because we

114have a G JPA, we have kind of a joint risk with the other school districts that we are in coordination with. So it is pool and a pool. So we're not only vulnerable for our situation but within that fulle. Correct. Correct. And then excess insurance we're building separate. Can you have there's different layers of of how we're covered for insurance. We have self insurance to a point with the pool the pool's insurance and then in excess. We're individually covered in the excess insure insurance insurance um realm as well because we've had to go back to 86 and um pay you know assessments to keep the reserves and the and the excess insurance for the state um uh you know with enough reserves for these um these cases. So, so in essence, we might have no

115staff that is still with the district for possible complaints of what might have happened decades ago. How this might actually be a different school district that could have such a situation and we will still we could possibly be impacted. We will be impacted by our share of the pool. And it it was interesting being in the room. I can't share the conversations in the legislative committee, but there were several districts that are facing several cases that are decades and decades old and they they literally have no one around that was there nor documents, nor the insurance, and they have to go through the investigation. And I wanted to just add on to that Dana where the excess starts is a pretty still low threshold. So that share is not the share of the nuclear verdicts.

116Okay. So that's good to know. And then just something that came from capital advisors. You guys probably know that Cal PERS um they're they approved the rate for next year 2536 at 26.81. 81 uh 2425 was 27.05. So, a little baby, but that's okay. We We'll take a little baby reduction. Yeah, we'll take some positive news. Um and with the positive news, I know there's a lot of uncertainty um with the Department of Education and what is going on. Um what we've talked about in sandavs is what's really important is protecting the funding streams. Title one, title two, title three, um special education. Protecting the f the funding streams is really the point of the conversation. The the politics surrounding the gutting and dismantling of the Department of Education is is a separate topic. But

117for us, we want to make sure that our funding streams are are protected. So, it'll I'm going to coast to coast. It's really cool that over 300 school board members and superintendents are going to go. Um, we leave April 26th. We will have meetings with different secretaries from different departments. Let's see about the Department of Education. Um, we also will be meeting with our congressmen. Um and we we will have that discussion about protecting please please support and protect our funding streams. Um we do have talking points and I'm going to forward this all to you including the briefs that I just received uh yesterday. um the talking points about our federal funding which is protecting uh special education and in fact there's a bill HR uh 2598 that would incrementally increase over the next

118two years up to 40% of our special education cost would be yeah so we're encouraging support of that bill um and then also just protecting our funding streams um Another ask is going to be the impact of technology. We want more support for school cyber security. We want to prioritize and we want to increase federal funding because we're schools are becoming more and more targeted. And then of course um the connectivity making sure that kids in rural districts have the ability to log on to and have Wi-Fi and be able to you know take their Chromebook home and do their homework or do their lessons. And then uh another ask secure rural schools which we're going to be talking about more. Congressman Jay Alenalty is co-author of that bill and supports this bill and is

119trying to get it um worked through and passed. And then the last one, the last talking point has to do with teacher workforce issues um that we establish and expand the teacher in school credentiing programs that we we continue those mentoring programs. There is title it's title two that supports um teacher professional development and and encouraging people to go into the teaching profession. So we want to make sure that funding sources is protected um and that we expand and establish teacher residency programs which is an interesting concept. So, I'll send all of this to you including the briefings on it so that you you have the same information that I have going to coast to coast. I am there's over 50 there's 50 of us from our district not our district but district 16 San

120Bernardino going and not all of us can fit in J or office. So, um, uh, I'm excited that, uh, the meeting with, uh, Congressman Albert NY happens April 29th at 3:00. So, I'm excited about that discussion, hoping. So anyways, you guys have questions and then um some of the talking points especially uh for you Jordan, hopefully you can um get some, you know, some good language out of the coast to coast stuff as well. Thank you. I did want to ask Dr. Seaniano possibly to talk about federal funding for the 2526 school year versus the 2627 school year. As uh Trustee Gardner said, there's a lot of uncertainty with funding, federal funding, right? And so um the state of California is um is has responded to the request to comply with some of the federal

121um interpretation of title six um protections. So we're waiting. There are 23 other states who filed um a lawsuit indicating that's not the correct interpretation. We're following the law. uh we will let it play out in courts. Um but there's still uncertainty and also the impact of that uncertainty of federal funding also affects state funding and so um you know trying to determine the may revise what that's going to look like. Will the governor pull back on some of the funding for education for that uncertainty in the federal program such as medical, some of those programs? Um, and also some of the impact in our economy right now with tariffs is also a concern for the the state. Um, so we'll see how that all plays out in the May revise. And then that due

122to all that even if we protect funding sources in the bud next year's budget what will what money will be allocated to title one because in um the last couple years that in the budget there's been proposals to cut title one. One one year they wanted to cut by 80% another time rolled back funding to 2011 levels. That's huge. That's a huge thing. Um, and then special education. It would be it would be great to get some more money, but at least get COLA if nothing else instead of just flat funding from, you know, from the previous year because that becomes really a cut when adjusted for inflation. So, those are things to look at as well to see how it impacts our budgets. I think everybody is a little bit worried. You okay with

123moving on everybody? 10.2. Superintendent. Shoot. Sorry. Rewind here. Sorry. Um, Senator Oo, she just sent in an email. I think you guys probably will get it that she is sharing information about our summer internship program. So, we'll forward this to even Mr. Wilmsy and um Amanda Marovich for um the applications are due Friday, April 25th. So, not a lot of time, but it's um a summer internship where um the kids and students will learn all about government and how it runs and hopefully they get excited and want to be in government and do good with us and increase special education. So, there you go. I'll make sure you guys have it. But, um I have that sheet mounted. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. 10.2. Thank you. Sorry. No worries. Superintendent approval of resolution number 24/25-28 for

124supporting HR1383 secure rural schools reauthorization act of 2025 fiscal impact. None. So move second Jordan and then actually I didn't discussion. Yeah, it would be I mean this is bipartisan. So hopefully it it goes through. Um yeah, that's all I have to say. Agreed. Um and there's a companion bill in the Senate. Um I don't know if we I'm fine to approve this as is because they're the same, but do we want to consider tacting on the Senate bill onto this resolution or we want to consider a separate motion for for that one? Possibly. It's the same bill with the same language. It's just one's in the House, one's in the Senate. I think we if you want to go ahead and modify your motion, that's something that we could if it's the same language,

125I I'd be good with you modifying that motion if you wish to. In that case, then I would seek to add in addition to HR1383 S 356. S or S? Just S period. Can you say that number again? S56. So did you second? Second. And we've discussed this previously. Is there any um desire for any further discussion? Then um I'm going to go ahead and call for the vote as amended. All in favor? I I. All opposed. The motion passes unanimously. 10.3 Superintendent approval of resolution number 24/25-30 in opposition to Assembly Bill 887 mandated computer science course requirements for high school fiscal impact none Cindy Jordan discussion I think I talked this to death just saying but this was previously discussed [Music] Yes. Yeah. Just emphasizing that it's not opposition to teaching computer science. It's

126opposition to everything that Cindy spoke to. Um having it as an additional graduation requirement. We do have computer science classes available for students to take. It's more congesting a master schedule and putting additional requirements on our on needlessly on our school district. And local local control can add these classes or this curriculum. we can decide at the local level. Um, but to have legislators keep adding and adding and adding to teachers plates and to graduation requirements that too much. I'm also pleased to say that, you know, to your point that we do offer computer science courses. The bill um 887 states in it that uh rural schools are two times less likely to offer computer science courses than urban schools. So to be amongst the few offering it and prioritizing it, I think is a

127point of pride for um not to negate the necessity of the bill, it's just to emphasize that they're using that to justify the reason for it and we are think ahead of that curtain. Absolutely. Anything else? Want to call for the vote. All in favor? I I I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.4 for educational services approval of the memorandum of understanding MOU agreement number 24/25-1086 between REM of the world unified school district in San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Regional Occupation Program from July 1st 2024 through December 31st 2026 with regards to participation in the California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant CIG CTE program round 10. Fiscal impact $155,5890. Budget source career technical education incentive graph CTI. So Cindy, sorry Jordan alluded to earlier in um CT presentation. So nice, beautiful number there. Any

128other discussion? Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.5 Educational Services. Approval of the LEO program proposal for the expanded learning opportunities program ELOP during the 2025 summer program. Fiscal impact $82,460. Budget source expanded learning opportunities program funds. So move Cindy. Seconded Jordan discussion calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All oppose. Motion passes unanimously. 10.6 business services appointment of citizens oversight committee members. Fiscal impact none. Sed Cindy. Second. Jordan. So we do have the handout. So do you want to speak a moment or Sure. We have two additional members to add to our committee. Um the committee applications are not closed. We would we're still taking applications, but as we get them, we will bring them to board. We have enough to begin our meetings um with

129these two um uh applicants. So, one is Charles um Schlleer, the third, and one is Dana Chapen. We recommend that you appoint them and approve them on the citizens oversight committee. Say I do appreciate them volunteering uh stepping up to volunteer their time to help us out. It's wonderful. So we have room for seven members on that oversight committee. Um we can have more or we can you know we're going our goal is to have seven. So okay ready for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.7 Business Services approval to adopt resolution number 24/25-27 to apply for and secure grant funding through South Coast Air Quality Management District's lower emission school bus program PA25-02. Fiscal impact to be determined. Budget source to be determined. Tentatively available funds could be measure

130E and or proceeds from sale or surplus property. We have a motion. So move Jordan back in. Cindy discussion. I'm just hoping that AB 111 there's just I was a little concerned with that if it is the compromise was rule and small not rule is what a note that came out this week. So we are going to see about you know how that bill ends up passing. So to be exempt from this, we do need to get in line for money if we do have to um purchase the EV, but right now of course we wouldn't be able to operate them on the infrastructure or we'd have to, you know, we've already talked about that. Yeah, where do we put the buses? Yeah, that was interesting conversation and send that was always like, you know,

131our busy yard is only so big and so getting these additional buses as we as we transition like we're on a mountain lot that space we don't have a lot of it. Where are we going to put them? It's so it's like those kinds of little details that aren't captured um and aren't thought about. And so it's just interesting when you bring this stuff up. They did they um was there any conversation about Was there any conversations about the um the uh fire services that we provide up on the mountain? I I brought that up actually in the sandaps conversation. Um, and it is within the bill that, you know, you do have to work with your fire department to see if it if they have the capability of putting out an EV fire. Um,
