We're now on to student recognition. It's one of the highlights of our board meetings and tonight we have the pleasure
of celebrating a group of students who have made both their school and our community proud. At this time, I would like to invite D'Onlugo FFA team and their advisors to the front so we can honor them for their historic achievement as state champions at the twenty twenty five Cal Poly San Luis Obispo light horse judging competition, California's premier contest in the field. Their exceptional performance, teamwork, and dedication have earned them in the honor of team members,
Saraya Parra, Sadie Hutchinson, Archer Hassan, and Alex Medina. Their outstanding season included six first place finishes and individual accolades, including first and sixth sixth height, individ high individual overall. We also have Gina Hasson, our AG teacher, also with us. You're all there. Yeah. Sure. I would just like to say how proud I am of these, amazing students. What they were able to accomplish is truly amazing. The level of dedication that it takes.
This is an extremely competitive event, a career development event that they were able to compete across the state of California where we spent many, many miles traveling, to events like, UC Davis, Fresno State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. And so they have had many top five finishes over the last ten years. And this year, they secured the state championship. And so, I'm just so proud of them, and I know that they're going to be able to represent California and Del Mogo at the national level this, October.
Okay. I didn't show this. Do I oh, I can't reach that. Hi everyone. I'm Sadie Hutchison, and this is my amazing team, except Soraya because she's in college. And I just wanted to say what a privilege it has been to be able to participate on the horse judging team. It has been a great way to develop my self confidence, my teamwork skills, developing a bond of my team every practice, and I think it's just truly been a great opportunity to develop myself, my public speaking, and yeah, I love my team and I'm so proud of how far we have been able to come.
And I'm so excited for nationals. Congratulations. Sadie Hutchinson, and great job speaking. Okay. Good. Alex Medina. Good job, Tommy. And then, of course, Soraya Parra is at college. So I will give this to you Yes. Unless you want us to send it for her to her. It's totally up to her. Oh, that's okay. Awesome. And then thank you both for waiting and recording this. Thank you so much. If you would like, we'd love for you guys to take a picture with the board and Yeah. Our staff and our assistants. Thank you. Okay. If we can give them one more round of applause as they are leading. So awesome. Okay. Now we have our second, one.
Now at this time, I'd like to invite representatives from Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church to come forward so we can honor and recognize their extraordinary generosity and unwavering support for our students. Reverend Ko and guests, can you please join me at the mic? Reverend Coe and our friends at the Good Hope Shepherd Presbyterian Church have donated 20,000 to the district to benefit the Hope Center and our high school Christian clubs. Without a doubt, that is a powerful investment in the well being, character, development, and leadership of our youth. This gift is directly support students in need and strengthen the sense of community and
purpose across our campuses. We are profoundly grateful for the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church's partnership and for their, heart they continue to show for the future of our students and values that unite us. Yes. Thank you. And here you go. Thank you. Would you guys like to say anything? As a part of this great community, we've been praying for Chino Valley, Unified School District because we are so proud of your active and keep the biblical teaching for the students for the entire community.
Community. We'll keep you in our prayers as a church. And also, we would like to get along with the students and staff and all the leadership. Thank you so much for If we can give them one more huge round of
applause for the dinner party. Okay. We're now on to comments from our student representative. We're so excited to have Phoenix Kim. I'd like to take this opportunity to also welcome our new student board representative, Phoenix, Kim, who is joining us for the very first time. Phoenix is serving as the voice of our students on the board this year. We're glad to have you with us and look forward to your perspective. Phoenix, also a husky, the floor is yours. Alright. Good evening, board president Shaw, members of the board, deputy superintendent Park, and distinguished guests.
I'm Phoenix Kim, and I'm currently a senior at Chinos High School. I'm very honored to be serving the Chino Valley Unified School District student board representative. I'm excited for what's to come on the board as I share more information about our schools from our students' perspective. So first and foremost, I would like to welcome back all CBUSD students as well as staff, and I really hope that we are all excited for this school year and the great possibilities to come as we thrive. As the school year has just begun, all of our schools across the district has found great success in their starts, and I'd like to take a moment to highlight some of these exciting accomplishments and updates.
To begin with, Ayala High School is currently preparing for their upcoming rally, which would take place this Friday with the Moana theme. To add on, they successfully held their senior sunrise and are currently in discussion of plans for their homecoming dance. Next, Chino High School is also preparing for their upcoming rally, which will feature a competition of classes with a glow in the dark theme and will be recognizing fall sports. They will be having their first home football game with the western theme. Furthermore, they had they've had a great first day of school kicking off the school year with a positive culture where they held a mini rally, taught student section chants,
and had field day style activities. Additionally, Don Lugo recently held their senior sunrise as well, which featured snacks, musics, and photo opportunities of props. Although their gym is currently under remodeling, they've been they've begun discussions for their homecoming theme and have been planning for eight weeks leading up to football games. And finally, best for last, Chinos High School has had a very ecstatic start to the school year. We are significantly ahead of our game and we've had outstanding achievements regarding our student participation. We've held our senior sunrise on the first day of school with hundreds of seniors
showing up, as well as receiving complimentary breakfast burritos and taking photo photos with props, as well as this beautiful sunrise in the background. Very recently, we've had a welcoming rally under the theme of the Lego movie. And during our rally, our students showed much pride and support for our entire student body, where their entire gym erupted during our dance battle game. We also announced our homecoming theme during the rally, which we will be hosting with the theme of a night in Athens. And currently we're preparing for club rush, which will feature over 130 clubs, which will be participating and active on campus and many more to be approved in the future.
We've been preparing and planning spirit weeks for upcoming football games and other athletic events. And in fact, today we will actually have our first home game, which is themed USA. As a member of the student body, I'm incredibly proud of all the hard work and school spirit being shown across the student body, I'm incredibly proud of all the hard work and school spirit being shown across our district. It is very inspiring to see our students and staff starting off the year very strong with great enthusiasm and dedication. I look forward to sharing many more accomplishments as the year progresses. On behalf of all the CVSD students, I'd like to wish everyone a special and memorable school year. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your evening. Awesome.
We love the updates and great job. Welcome. Next are comments from our employee representatives. We have Steven Frazier from ACT. I think the students are taller than me. We have to anyway, good evening. On behalf of the educators of Chino Valley, I wanna welcome everybody back to the 2526 school year. Our teachers, counselors, and all of our members are ready to serve students with both dedication and care. It's nice to see everybody, and welcome, Phoenix. I'd like to thank our, first of all, those that we worked together on the new hire orientation. It was very successful, so we thank you for that. And also our community supporters, particularly the Chino Valley defenders of public education for their
summer supply drive, that supported our educators. Their generosity shows how much this community values schools and professionals who make learning possible. As we begin the school year, our focus must be clear. Safe schools, sufficient resources, and professional respect for educators. This is where you can help the most. On tonight's agenda, again, I urge the board to stop politicizing classrooms which distracts from what truly makes a difference, preparing students to think critically and to succeed. Public Schools thrive when educators, parents, and community work together and let's work toward that
goal. ACT remains committed in collaboration with the district for class size staffing and fair compensation because when educators thrive, our students will win. Thank you all for your time. Annette Couch from CHAMP, and welcome. I believe this is your first meeting as well. Hi. Good evening. On behalf of CHAMP and all of the district and site administrators, I wanna say welcome back. We have been experiencing, a very fruitful welcome back to schools. Schools are getting back in session and starting off the year very well.
We started off this year with leadership charge for all of our admin. Our theme this year is thrive, and all of our our sites are excited to see how we can thrive this year and how we can get students more, productive and successful. We've had some positive media exposure for our elementary schools, specifically Lytle. Elementary was recognized for positive impact it had on the lives of individuals, specifically ABC seven meteorologist Leslie Lopez. Levi Dickey Elementary was recognized for earning the AVID Impact Award and becoming the first
elementary showcase school and earning the Teacher Advocacy Award for AVID. We've we are in the full mix of back to school night, and we have seen excellent attendance at those events, and so we're really excited to work with the community this year. Math training has also begun in supporting teachers in the most up to date teaching pedagogy and the most current research on math teaching. Several sites have reported increased involvement with parents and family joining our community organizations, and
we want to thank those parents for coming and joining and continue to encourage parents to join those, committees and being involved in school. We are all working together to make the best environment for our students. And finally, we would like to express our appreciation to the human resources for working so hard to fill all of the open positions throughout the district, and how important and effective it's been to have counselors at each site. Even just within this first two weeks, they've been they've been busy.
So on behalf of CHAMP, welcome back, and and we thank all of you for this opportunity. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you, and welcome. We're now on to public comments. Patty, how many requests to speak? Six. Thank you. Board by law nine three two three meeting conduct establishes the guidelines and the following process applies.

Please give any materials you wish to distribute to the Board to the Recording Secretary. Thank you. You're welcome. Of course. Glory Ciccarelli on a non agenda item. If I stood here and read a book saying the slur for Jewish people, would the excuse that I was reading from a book make it okay that I said it? Matter of fact, let's say as a sub, I do what I always do and report bullying of a Jewish student to admin of the school site, would it be okay with you that not only did they not inform you of the bullying of your child, but there is little to no punishment at all because the bullying is
the child the bully is a child of someone connected to the school board as is the admin taking the report. Even as I'm saying these words, everyone hearing them is recoiling in disgust and outrage at the idea that anyone would ever do any of those things. So if we can all understand how repugnant that would be, then why do you all feign ignorance and confusion when it comes to the black community? To the eighth grade teacher at Legacy Academy, why did you show a PragerU video called why I love America that told students on the blackest school in the district
that America is the least racist country in the world and more Africans are now making the choice to come here. To doctor Biachino Hills High, why do you ignore racism and race based bullying and assault? For that matter, why don't you take seriously the pleas of parents and community members to meet with you in an effort to do something about that racism epidemic on your campus in a lasting and systemic way? And most importantly, why do doctor Park and doctor Enfield do nothing about staff so problematic that students have group chats on how often their teacher says the n word
or black parents have stories about how deep their board appointed admins like to bury complaints and concerns? All of this is to say, from this moment on, going forward, no one sitting at that dais can ever again claim not to be racist. You've had every opportunity to do something about it in your hiring, firing, curriculum, discipline, and resolutions here in this room, but made the conscious choice not to. Going forward, no matter what you claim, the community now knows through your actions that
you are racist to your very core. And to the non black minorities in this community, this last part is for you. Even when you your blind you blindly support this board, they will still call you the slurs when you're not around, will still legislate against you from that deus, and will always refuse to translate whiteness than me, but that doesn't mean they have any more respect for your community than they do mine. Have any more respect for your community than they do mine.
Kelly Schlegel, non agenda item. Hello, everyone. Thank you for having me here. I just wanna make you aware that there's a new resource in the Tino Valley. It's for, moms in crisis pregnancy or moms struggling with parenting, maybe they're single moms, or maybe they don't have all the resources we need that they need, we can provide all these resources that they need to walk alongside them and fill them feel comfortable that they have a safety net and a resource and, companions to walk alongside
them and make sure that they can be successful raising their children. Come and see us. We're one block away from Don Lugo High School. We have diapers, wipes, baby clothes, maternity clothes, boxes of food. We have classes on life skills, pregnancy, labor and delivery, anything that you wanna know about. We have classes for fatherhood. So we're here in the Chino Valley with a big house. We accept anyone who wants to come by, anyone who needs help. We even have desiccins and shampoo and anything that you might need to just make
it easier to raise your child and to have, a family that can be with you and kinda cheerlead you along. So we wanna dust off an old truth that motherhood is noble and that we can all do it together. We can partner together. We have partnerships with Saint Vincent de Paul, with an adoption agency in Chino Valley, with Catholic charities. I'm hoping to make some inroads with the Hope Center that's in in Chino. So all these things can come together where we can hold hands and make sure
moms moms are safe, babies are safe, and families are safe. Thank you for having me, and come see us on Chino Avenue At 3683, Building B For Baby. And I gave some flyers to Patricia, and she can pass them out to you with all of our contact information. Thank you for having me. Christy Hurst on a non agenda item. I wanna speak about an issue which is supposedly at the heart of our board president's political career, protecting children, and ask a series of questions about a very real
lapse in this district's duty to actually protect children. Sonia, when did you become aware that your buddy, a district school resource officer and dare instructor, allegedly engaged in, quote, lewd acts and lascivious conduct with district children? We know the district has been aware of these serious allegations since the January. This means you've had almost eight months to figure out a plan to address this issue. We know the superintendent put out a single statement the day the arrest was announced by the Chino PD, but what has been done by the district to prevent this from happening again?
Have you had meetings with parents whose children were exposed? Have you offered parenting classes conducted by mental health professionals to guide parents through this horrific situation? Counseling? What added procedures have you implemented to protect our children? Why haven't you kept the community up to date on what changes have been made to the Darren SRO programs and how this case is moving through the legal system. I wanna highlight for this community that Sonia Shaw frequently speaks about parents in this district, calling us groomers and pedophiles and child abusers for opposing her policies. Quote from Sonia from the LA Times, was likely sexually assaulting 12 year olds in
our district. This is what happens when you call people who oppose you pedophiles. You give cover to actual pedophiles. So stop and ask, what exactly does she mean when she says she is protecting kids? Does it only mean protecting kids from the people she personally hates? So long as someone is on her side, she will downplay the sexual abuse of children? Is that it? Or is it that she never really cared about protecting kids? That it was always about fitting her narrative of attacking quote liberals, and since this doesn't fit her narrative, she won't address it. For some online like crazy about protecting our girls and children, she has not posted
once about this. Not a single media appearance, not a single public statement to the media, which she loves to do. No outrage. What has she actually done in response to a real case of I hope the families who were exposed get the resources and support they need and deserve, and I hope someone in this district sets up and helps you all navigate this. It's It's one thing for the pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills to create false
hysteria over assembly bill four ninety five, but for this school board to further spread that disinformation is disgusting. I wonder how many people who believe pastor Jack Hibbs rants as he hawks his new book on TV even bothered to look up the text of the bill. Did you read the bill before you wrote your resolution on tonight's agenda? Miss you say a b four ninety five is, quote, handing strangers full control over your kids with no court, no parental consent. That is comp a complete falsehood, but I'm sure it's serving you well as you
use our taxpayer dollars to travel the state to campaign for higher office. Any claim that this bill legalizes human trafficking and kidnapping is not only false, but harmful fear mongering that distracts from the actual goal of protecting vulnerable children. Here are the facts. The Family Preparedness Act is aimed at helping California families make caregiving arrangements for their children during time of crisis, like a deportation or illness. The bill references an official form known as caregiver's authorization affidavit and would expand who
could sign one to include trusted non relatives. Families in crisis should be able to rely on close family, friends, mentors, teachers, or neighbors. Being able to live with a trusted family or friend can ease a child's trauma after being separated from their parents and can reduce the likelihood of the child entering the foster care system. Now Jack Hibbs and this sport are screaming that this bill allows anyone to legally kidnap your child at school, which is ridiculous at best and a dangerous lie at worst. This is Jack Hibbs and this board's attempt to discredit Democrats in Sacramento who are
trying to deal with conditions created by ICE raids, where there are real abductions of undocumented individuals, green card holders, and even US citizens who are being sent to deportation centers without due process. In fact, this school district is one of the only ones in this area that hasn't put out a statement assuring families that their children would be protected at school if ICE agents came to campus. Clearly, this board doesn't care that we have many families in our community who are scared to send their children to school. As for this bill, if this board was actually worried about child safety, then why
wouldn't you just make it a policy to do a background check if a parent asked a nonrelative to take on short term guardianship role for their child? As usual, instead of looking for solutions or showing even the least bit of empathy, this board is again parroting your power hungry pastor to create yet another manufactured crisis and mislead voters. Thank you. Christie Hurst. Information item. Tonight, our board is introducing a policy based on their extreme interpretation of Mahmood v
Taylor, a recent Supreme Court decision which held that students may be opted out of any curriculum that is in conflict with their, quote, sincerely held religious beliefs. I have many questions about the policy you are putting forward in response to this. You are setting this district and every teacher in it up for a logistical nightmare. In the instruction section of your policy, point seven states that parental permission is required for any quote discussion or study of the issue is instigated by the students. That was your grammar, not mine. You are applying the Mamu decision to student speech, which is beyond the scope of
this decision and a violation of students' first amendment rights. Since Mamu does not apply only to LGBTQIA issues, as you seem to have misinterpreted it, but to any topic that conflicts with a family's sincerely held religious beliefs. What happens when a family's belief is that Jesus does not exist? Will teachers need permission for any student to discuss Jesus? Many religions believe that women should be submissive and not allowed to vote, as we are seeing publicly right now. Does this mean teachers need parent permission to discuss women in power, women's fight for voting rights, suffrage?
Doctor Anfield says he submit says he submitted this policy. Why did he not follow CSVA guidance on this issue, which I have seen, and this policy does not follow it? Your policy states, quote, instruction inclusive of LGBTQ plus content many times. What does this mean? Who will define this? Why do you single out this one topic? This mean? Who will define this? Why do you single out this one topic? What happens when students are opted out? Who will supervise these students? Who will pay for that? What will these students do? How are teachers supposed to stop students from organically bringing these topics up? If my kid makes a point of discussion that references, say, their two aunts who
are lesbians, what happens to her? What about the kid who makes the comment about their two moms or two dads? What will teachers do? Are they gonna tell tell a kid they're not allowed to mention their two moms or two dads? And if my kid refuses, which I would tell her to do, what then? Districts who push the scope of this decision will very likely be sued. And once again, our board president is thrilled to be the district that does it. Sonia Shaw is a narcissist who craves fame and notoriety. She continues to take tax dollars out of our classrooms to advance her profile and
political aspirations. Our legal fees were over $1,300,000 for two fiscal years in a row. I'm sorry, they averaged 1.3. That was a two over 202100% increase in before she was on the board. This decision is sure to result in more lawsuits. Why does Chino have to be the one to spend result in more lawsuits. Why does Chino have to be the one to spend our tax dollars? Why can't you just leave it to be sorted out and leave our money in our classrooms where it belongs? Paul Griffin, Action item two a one.
Good evening. So the assembly bill four ninety five, I understand where you're gonna have some some tension with it. I think where I disagree with it the most, is that if anyone tries to commit a fraud, they're gonna call it a misdemeanor. I think that should be up to a felony because we wanna protect our kids. So by all means, if your protest does say at least elevate the misdemeanor to a felony, that would be great. But in in addition, though, I've read the bill as well, and it says right at the beginning that we are not obligated the board is not obligated to do
a background check, but it doesn't say that you're forbidden from doing it. So you can do that background check. Another option for you is listening to the students. If they if some stranger files the paperwork and then they try and check that kid out, well, tell the kid, it's like, hey. We haven't done the background check on the person who's gonna take you out, so let us know if this is a stranger or not before we release you into their custody. And when the kid says, I don't know who this person is, problem solved.
Call the police. Have that person arrested because our kids are our own allies in identifying who is safe for them and who is not. So we have options. We don't need to fear and and take all of our families out of California the way pastor Hibbs is telling everyone to do. That's just ridiculous. We can do the background checks. We can send someone from the school, from the school district to check. Hey. You're the parent. Right? This person signed this, form that said that they could take your kid out. Are you okay with that?
And if they're okay with it, you know that that person is safe. And if they haven't, you get to call the police. You get a great story for this district that shows how well we will protect our kids because this person is a fraud. So background checks, ask the kid before you release them into their custody. These are options we have. I hope you exercise them. Thank you. That's it. Thank you. Thank you to our speakers. We're now at changes and deletions. Patricia, how many are there any changes or deletions? There are none. Thank you very much. We're now on action items.
The first item is two a one resolution 20252026Dash12 opposing Assembly Bill four ninety five to defend parental rights in education. Board president Sonia Shaw recommends the board of education adopt resolution twenty five twenty six dash 12 opposing assembly bill four ninety five to defend parental rights in education. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, mister Nott. Can I have a second? Thank you, mister Cervantes. I will open it up to comments, questions, concerns. Seeing that there's none go ahead. Hold on. Go ahead.
You know, President Shaw, as a teacher, I have to go through a lot. I have to have credentials, I have to pass a CVEST, interviews, a background check. Why was it like that? Why wasn't all that the same as becoming a teacher? And so it just doesn't make sense to me. Thank you. Thank you, mister Cruz. I just wanna clarify some things because there's a lot of misinformation that was being, spoken at the the mic today. I authored our school board resolution opposing this nightmare.
I am not a Californian that's running from any of these fights, actually. Sacramento waged a war on parents and families and I'm staying here to fight the good fight to protect our families clearly. And clearly from a lot of people who misrepresent. I was in Sacramento this week but it wasn't on the school board's dime. It was on, money that wasn't the school board. So I just wanna clarify that to the public. I did not use your money to go to Sacramento to fight something that is very important for our kids. Sacramento calls it a caregiver affidavit, but did you know affidavits already exist? And no, they do not have to be signed by a parent.
And I think that's very alarming that now anybody without a signature, no court process can just bring a piece of paper and you talk about a background check. How long do background checks take? I would say a long time. So what are we gonna do with the student in between? The parent already identifies the emergency contacts in the system when they're signing up the kid. Me, a mother, I go in there and I identify who is going to pick up my child and who's responsible for my kid in the event of an emergency where my husband and I cannot pick up our kids. Now look, I don't like the current affidavits, but the reality is a family member can have an affidavit and do that.
Now we do know that a lot of families may use it for reasons that are not for this, but I won't go into that. But this, this is a predator's dream, Bill. I mean, think about it. Anybody can take a piece of paper without a signature, no court process. You think criminals are gonna care if you have a felony or a misdemeanor or anything? Absolutely not. You could just go into the office and pick up any kid you want. Or let's just be real. Kids in California, this is a sanctuary state where you can do and mutilate your body according to Newsom. Any kid can be brought into California and do the same, but, an adult or
anybody can bring in a piece of paper and say I just wanna take this kid, and now they have full access to do whatever they want with your child. That is the truth. That is what the bill says. I don't care what any pastor said. I don't follow a pastor. I follow God. And that is that is actually the truth too. And I again, I'm not going to be leaving. I'm gonna fight the good fight. And I hope the board supports this so we can be the voice for our community board in to defend these things. This is a nightmare for anybody, anybody who cares about the child's safety. Why would you want any piece of paper, no signature by any parent?
You guys are creating a false alarm for people that are that are, you know, you guys are saying that they're scared that somebody's just gonna, come and take a kid out of school. No one's doing that. And and now you're using that, that piece of paper to be able to go take control of a child? Let's be real, the parent, the parent who registered their kid already identified, do I have to say that over, they already identified at least three people that can take care of their child, and the current affidavit would cover any other family member in the case of those three people not being able to do it. Why do we need now a piece of paper for a complete stranger?
Anybody who believes that that is for safety, you need to go check yourself because you're in a very dangerous area of putting a lot of kids at harm, and I won't be any part of that. And I am glad our community is strong standing strong against this. But with that said, I think people's hate for certain pastors, which may not even be my pastor, FYI, are very much more than just the safety of the kids. You guys are so clouded in your head with hate of people that you don't even see the reality of the kids. Look, some of you ran for the school board, and I'm just gonna say that.
Obviously, people in this community, two elections in a row didn't agree with the way that you want to harm kids or possibly put kids in harm way. So I would just stop there, and I I really do truly hope that, people support this. This is a grotesque bill. This is a wage of war on parents and children's safety in California. That is not anything to be taken lightly. I will never ever stand by and not do something to protect parents' rights and protect kids in our district. So, yes, I am hoping that this is supported by our board.
Mister Cruz, do you have your light for a reason? A stranger. Right? And, you know, California is so into the gender bending, and so a lot of it may have be do the desire of reaffirming a child's identity. So you bring a child you bring a stranger to emphasize that they're not a male, but a female. That's what I think this is about. That's it. Mister Naugh? Yeah. I remember about five years ago, again, the Sacramento was trying to implement new sex
ed and very controversial as this law says. And it's funny. Funny. All the parents that I spoke to, what's Sacramento is doing today? All they do is they give our parents a more stress. They don't help us to build family, to build education, nothing. But all they do is they create more problems for all of our children, their safety, and parent parental rights?
What is mirror with them? I know they're disqualified. Many of them are to be our leaders. I understand that. But now they're crossing the line. Whatever they're trying to do in their thought, trying to fix problems, but in return, the result is causing more problems for all of us. What is wrong with them? We have done fine without this a b four ninety five. We have been protecting our kids. We have been fighting for our parental rights.
And here, they're trying to cause more problems. If we don't stand up like pastor Jack Gibbs, I'm proud of him because he he's protecting parental rights. No one's perfect on this earth, but he's trying to protect our parental rights and safety of all the children. We have to stand up and make sure that their mistakes from Sacramento does not come down to Chino Valley.
That is a duty that we have. If they make mistakes and and we follow them and cause more problems for our parents and our children's safety, then it'll be our neglect. So thank you for all the speakers for supporting or not supporting, but because you do care for our kids. But as a board member, I have to support this resolution. Thank you. Alright. There we go. Okay. Real quick. I'll try to make this short.
I mean, we could there's a lot of things to, talk about here, but let's just put it like this. I think the most important investment we can make is in our children. I mean, not just our children, but all children. I think that's a given. Right? But, at the same time, the more safeguards we can put, the harder targets we can make our kids, our schools. Those are things that we constantly have to look at and do. And so anytime there's a way around that, it is our obligation, our duty to make sure we're doing everything we can to on the side of caution, to do
what's what's right, and to make our schools and our children safer. I hope that everybody's in agreement with that, and that's all I gotta say about that. Thank you, mister Cervantes. Thank you for your comments, board. I do have to say if four ninety five passes, good luck to the state because I can say this board probably will not agree with following it. So there you go. I'll go ahead and put on the vote thing if you can register your vote. Oh, you know what? In preferential is it it showing now?
This is not showing the voting. Do we want to get somebody? We got it. You got it? Okay. And preferential, I have to take your vote. I know you haven't done this before, but you can either say yay, no, nay, abstain. So I'll take it. You just can say it out loud. Okay. And then I think that was a yes. And then all votes are registered, and the motion passes with a vote of four to zero. Okay. We're now on to item two b one, public hearing and adoption of resolution twenty twenty five twenty twenty six dash 11, sufficiency of instructional materials, twenty five twenty six
for Cal Aero Preserve Academy, k six, and Legacy Academy, k six. Recommends the Board of Academy k six and Legacy Academy k six. Recommends the Board of Education conduct a public hearing and adopt resolution twenty twenty five twenty twenty six dash 11. Sufficiency of Instructional Materials twenty twenty five twenty twenty six for Cal Aero Preserve Academy k six and Legacy Academy. I now open the public hearing at 06:47PM. Patricia, are there any speakers? There are none. Thank you. I now close the public hearing at at 06:47PM. Now for the adoption, may I have a motion, please?
Thank you, Mr. Naugh. Can I have a second? Thank you, Mr. Cervantes. Any comments, questions, discussion? Hearing nothing further, board members, please register your vote. Preferential. Thank you. And the motion passes with a vote of four to zero. That concludes the action items. We are now on to consent. Board members, if you have an item to pull, please indicate, so on your monitor. For the consent items, may I have a motion, please? Thank you, mister Naugh. Can I have a second? Thank you, mister Cervantes. And board members, please register your vote. Preferential.
Yes? You can always abstain it now and and then kinda learn the process, but it's just if we have, just to really quickly clarify, if we have any polls, then I'd have to put those items on the table and do them separate. But we don't have any polls, so really there's nothing that you're voting against other than we're just saying that we don't have any polls. I hope that makes sense. Okay. I need one more vote. Is mister Mel? No. It's his. There you go. And the motion passes with and preferential voting, yes. And the motion passes with a vote of four to zero.
We are now at information items. Are there any comments or questions? Seeing none, we're now on to board member communications, Mr. Cervantes. Again, welcome everybody back, twenty twenty five, twenty six school year. It's good to see everybody. A few things real quick. Again, our future farmers of America from D'Onlugo High School outstanding to see that we have a piece of pie here in our in this community. We're we're a a town where we had a bunch of cows and horses and agriculture and a lot of that's going away, but to see what, what D'Onlugo does
to keep that that piece there as a treasure, it's pretty cool to see what they're doing. So again, to congratulate them. And for, Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, $20,000 to our students, to our hope center, to our Christian clubs. That's awesome because a lot of stuff goes into that. I mean, food gets bought. There's things that needs to be, purchased, and that goes a long way. So we, we really appreciate that. And then, you know, mister Phoenix Kim, again, welcome to our board and looking forward to having you this year and learning from you just as much as you would
learn from us, so welcome. And, I think that's about it. So thank you, everybody. Awesome. Thank you, mister Cervantes. And mister Noh? No. You like to Wait. Push the button. I'd like to thank, mister John Monow who has served our school board. I miss him, and I think all of us do. I hope best for, his endeavors at at his new home in Utah. And I really appreciate, his friendship and leadership at Chino Valley, that he had served
for last, decades as a coach and also a school board member. So thank you, mister John Munoz. And also, tonight was the first day for Finnish Ken. He has done a wonderful job tonight, and I know we have a father there. Can we have a father stand up? I'm sure you are proud of your son, so let's give a father a big hand raising a good child. Thank you. And, also, I'd like to thank all the teachers and, staff members, the CSA members,
and CHAMP members, working, even though we're, I think, over a 100 degrees today, serving our students. So thank you for that, and I just shared with, ACT president, and I appreciated his service and teacher service for our students and and their love for them. Thank you. And, lastly, I'd like to thank, Sonia Shaw because, there was a compliment from our
pastor, Cole. How great, she was able to memorize a Korean phrase. She has done a wonderful job, and and they were really impressed that how strong leader she is, for standing up for the parental rights and and our students' safety. So thank you, Sonia, for good job. And you have many people from our community that loves you and pray for you.
So, continue for your journey. And this is, I think, God given, opportunity to serve all the children as yours. Thank you. Yeah. I'll just make this real quick, and that is God bless you, John Monroe. The littlest things matter, and you show me the love you have, the smallest things, and I really appreciate it. You know, March 18, I I had open heart surgery, and John, he showed me
his love, his love for me, and his love for his of his humanity. So God bless you, John. Have a peaceful, a peaceful time boy Johnny out there, we had some good times, going way back when when first went on a ride along with me at Chino PD and, ended up, working together there.
And he gets on the board here, and I come on after him. So, we go way back. He's a good good man, solid. Gonna miss him like crazy, but we'll still be in touch. Wish him the best out there. It's, wasn't an easy decision for him to leave even though his family was out there for a while, his grandkids. It's great for him. So even though on our end, it's sad, it's, we want what's best for him. So God bless you, buddy, and, looking forward to seeing you soon. Awesome. And Doctor. Park. On the behalf of our superintendent, I'd like to welcome everyone back to the twenty
five-twenty six school year where we will thrive together. We're already three weeks in and we have so much to celebrate. More than 25,000 students began this school year in a district recognized by our community as Inland's favorite school district and one of only two school districts in California and 37 school districts internationally being recognized as a model professional learning community school district, which means that continuously we have improved student achievement and narrowed achievement gaps for our students
every year. And this is a true reflection of the trust and support we've earned together. To our parents and families, thank you for entrusting Chino Valley with your most precious gift, your children. It is an it is our honor and privilege to educate and support them every day. This strong start would not have been possible without the dedication and the teamwork of our entire school district, which include our exceptional teachers, amazing classified staff, and hardworking administrators. Thank you all for playing an important role in the success of the successful start
successful start of the school year. And finally, I'd like to officially welcome Phoenix Kim, our student board member. We look forward to your contributions, your leadership, and your student voice throughout the year. Thank you. We also I also wanna welcome you. Thank you, dad, for being here to support your son. It's always amazing when we look out and we see the parents behind the scenes. I know that, you know, mister Knoll pointed you out, but it's just a true representation of our community, just always being there to support, our our kids so they can succeed at the next level. And hopefully, after they, you know, go off to college, they're doing amazing things in
our community. A lot of them a lot of my class still lives locally, which is a true testament to, Chino Valley, which includes Chino and Chino Hills and a little bit of Ontario and at least for our district. I also would like to say to Monroe, my bro, I miss you wherever you're out there. I know that you'll hear our comments, but, man, that was a ride. You know, it was a, what, three and a half year, of you being a board member, but even prior to that, just supporting parents and showing up to board meetings alongside us, knowing that you came in as a a soon to be retired
police officer. So you've always served here. We love you. We miss you. We thank you for your service here. The only thing I'm gonna challenge you to is to get involved in your local government over there and make the difference. Take a little bit of the good of California over to Utah. So thank you for your service. We love you. We miss you. And, please come visit us. I know that you are enjoying the deers and all the beautiful scenery, but please come visit us sometime soon. I just wanna thank all of our staff, CSEA, you know, during the summer just for keeping the grounds beautiful.
That way when school started, I know that you're working hard alongside our staff here at the district office, just to keep things going. We do have a year round school that was, you know, back in session before everybody else came back for summer. But thank you for everything that you've done. The school's, sites look amazing, and we just appreciate the hard work that you do. I know that you think it's, that it goes unnoticed, but man, it does go noticed. And I also like to thank, our cafeteria, everybody who works in the cafeteria to feed our children. I've seen on the couple times fresh produce.
You're always thinking of ways to make sure, even with some red tape here in California to feed our kids healthier meals. And now our staff, that has a kitchen available to purchase meals here, you know, during their lunch break, because they love it here so much, they don't wanna leave the campus for lunch. I hope that's the reason. But, yeah. So thank you guys, for all that you do too. And thank you to our teachers for preparing the classrooms and getting things ready. So as soon as our kids walked in, you were ready. You greeted them. We appreciate everything that you do continuously to get our kids from a to z.
I am very proud of our district, like Doctor. Park had mentioned. We're in a couple of articles, national articles on how our test scores keep increasing. And despite with Sacramento pushes and all the challenges that they push, you guys continue to persevere. So I just wanna thank you for doing that. It's it's showing. I know that we, you know, every school district has, its daily fires, but just seeing everybody come together as a community to put those out and make sure that we keep moving forward is really amazing. I do sit on the commission for Baldy View, ROP. I have a huge passion if a child, student is not for year bound to,
at least get them to know about the pathways that they could take through our district free of charge. And usually these kinds of pathways are really expensive after high school. I just wanna make, a public announcement because I'm asking them to come up with creative ways and let our students know as soon as they hit ninth grade and actually even in our junior highs to let them know about these pathways. Because look, not all child all not all students want to go to a four year and maybe they have something in mind in, you know, the different career path. And we have, pathways that will get these kids certificated and into the workforce as
soon as they graduate. So please parents, alongside your students, look that up. There's so many possibilities, so many opportunities and pathways that are paid through the district. I just, really do urge you to look through those. I mean, even if your, child wants to do beautician or I know we have our, you know, our pathways that help with UPS and, FedEx, securing jobs through that or any kind of plumbing and things like that. I mean, even law enforcement, Anything you can name it, we we can provide a pathway more more than likely. So please take advantage of those.
Those are things that I I am very passionate about on making sure our kids get the tools and they're challenged every day in high school. I think I wanna, just thank parents. Not think I do wanna take, a time to take the thank our parents. Thank you for trusting us. I know that, you know, as me as a parent five years ago, I grew up in this in this community. I grew up in Chino. I was born in the Chino Hospital who do not deliver babies anymore. But, you know, I grew up here and I always wanted to raise my family here and just, being able to serve here is a true blessing. I I really do appreciate this opportunity.
It does have its challenges, but I wouldn't change it for the world except if if it was to make some other difference that we needed to make because we have red tape everywhere. So thank you for just coming alongside and putting your trust and reaching out when there's problems and just trusting that we're working with staff to make sure that your kids have every pathway to success. I don't take it lightly. I I work countless hours a day and this is, you know, not a paid position. You do get a small stipend, in comparison to the work that could be put into it. But I I truly appreciate you guys trusting me in this seat to be able
to do that. A lot of lies are spread about me. And, yes, it's hurtful. I am human. But at the same token, I just want you to know, just watch people's actions, and and I wouldn't listen to the words. Just watch what they do. I mean, fortunately, we have a great board. I'm excited to see who in the community steps up to join us. I am very excited to see, people, you know, apply and hopefully come to get interviewed. And then, you know, we would put our hearts into choosing the best person for the community. With that said, I also wanna thank our friends at the Presbyterian Church.
Thank you for your donation to help those clubs and also Mary's Manger. Cervantes and I went there yesterday and we saw the facility. And, it was really neat just to see how they provide necessary needs to, people, moms in the community, and give them things. And they're begging for people to give it to, which is which is amazing. I think, you know, the more people that find out about the different things, including our hope center. If you guys don't know about our hope center, please look it up. It is a, amazing place. I got to visit it. I think it was last year. It was my last visit.
I need to do my visits this year. But, it it's just a beautiful place with people who care and and they care about giving families, resources in times of need. I mean, we all go through challenges in life, but but to know that somebody can come to the Hope Center and get direction on anything. I mean, pretty much they they supply any direction to any need because there's so many people in our community. I just wanna thank you. Also with that said, I think that's all I have to say. Boys are boys. Girls are girls. God made them beautiful the way they are. And I will now adjourn this board meeting, education meeting at seven or 3PM.
