22
00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:32.880
Donald Donnie Shankle for Yes, I see his beautiful wife in the grunt for his dedicated service and commitment to the Chino Valley Unified School Board of Education. For more than 30 years, Donnie has been a familiar and trusted

23
00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:48.640
presence at the board of education meetings, providing security and support to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment for board members, staff, students, families, and the community members in attendance. As tonight marks Down Sony's final board meeting,

24
00:08:48.640 --> 00:09:02.720
yes, it's hard to even say that out loud. We should just make him stay. In this role, we take the opportunity to recognize and thank him for the many, many years he has dedicated to supporting the board and our district community. Donniey's service to our

25
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:19.920
board meetings is part of a remarkable 37-year career with Chino Valley Unified School District. He began his career with the district in 1988 in risk management where he was assigned to Don Lugo High School. In 2000, he joined

26
00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:36.399
Buenav Vista High School where he has continue to serve students, staff, and families. Throughout his time with the district, Donnie has been a steady and dependable presence, building relationships, and making a positive impact across our district community.

27
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:58.000
Donnie, where are you? Yeah, there. I'm like, where are you? Thank you for your 37 years of dedicated service to Chino Valley Unified School District, including more than three decades supporting the board of education. Your commitment and

28
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:13.680
contributions are truly appreciated from the bottom of all of our hearts. As you begin your retirement, we hope you enjoy many well-deserved adventures, especially the cruises you love so much. I know your wife enjoys those as well. May this next chapter bring smooth

29
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:29.040
sailing, new destinations, and many wonderful me memories. At this time, we would like to present Donnie with a plaque in appreciation of his dedicated service to Chino Valley Unified School District. I would like to also invite my fellow board members and his beautiful

30
00:10:29.040 --> 00:11:09.920

31
00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:26.399
and amazing people we work for, the amazing board we have and and the great superintendent and supportive staff and it's made it very easy to work here and it's been a pleasure and I will miss it. I'm not going to lie, but I'm looking forward to not getting up early in the morning. But thank you for this honor. I really appreciate it.

32
00:11:26.399 --> 00:12:48.000
>> Thank you. Once again, let's thank Donnie for his many years of dedicated service supporting the board of education. And I see a board member would like to speak. Mr. Cruz, please. Yes, your mic's on. Oh, >> Donnie. Donnie,

33
00:12:48.000 --> 00:13:10.000
come here. Come over here. I just um you know Donnie is one special person. I'm I'm going to be really indirect. I think we'll understand. You turned on that ignition car

34
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:26.639
and just like Robert Frost, you chose a path that was very different and that single act was a different path. Because of you, Dr. Enfield's here, Mr. Joseph

35
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:43.839
is here. And the reason you dare to think differently and the car is still running strong, Donnie. and and your idea, your initiative, not following the crowd moved this district forward. And you know exactly

36
00:13:43.839 --> 00:14:02.279
what I'm talking about. It was you that ignited that engine. So, we're very grateful of those early years. >> Thank you. >> So, God bless you. Thank you,

37
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:36.839
>> Mr. Knock. Give me one moment. Mic's on. >> Oh, poor. [laughter] Okay. >> Thank you, Donnie, for being my friend for last 19 years

38
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:54.320

39
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:10.480
you had my full respect all these years along with our friends in the back. Ly and our gentlemen in the back. It's

40
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:25.760
not you're just taking this as a job, but you have made a commitment for your life. to love and serve our students and you

41
00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:42.240
have done it really well. Thank you. And because of that our board is following your footsteps also serving our students because

42
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:58.240
you have finished the race. So all of us have the duty and also the commitment for love for our children.

43
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:14.959
And I could all give this credit to you because I think God has sent you here first before all of us to for us to learn from that. So thank you so much for all these years of service. Thank you.

44
00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:34.079
>> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Don't go anywhere. >> Don't move. Mr. Cervantes, mic's on. >> Yeah. Uh Johnny, you're probably gonna you might as well extend that retirement date for a little bit longer because I think everybody's going to be coming for the same things, which is welld

45
00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:49.440
deserved. You know, uh today's a very special day because, uh you could look back on your career and know that you did it well. And uh gosh, we came across each other in the early 2000s and uh man, it's time flies. And you've been faithful at what you've been called to

46
00:16:49.440 --> 00:17:04.160
do. You've worked hard. You set the tone. And a lot of young people are following what you did. And uh they know what it takes to do the job. All of us that work with you and alongside you are definitely better for it. I hope you

47
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:20.240
enjoy those years that uh all the times you had to not partake in a family event or whatever it was because you were here. And you definitely showed up all the time, not only in our schools, but here at the board meetings, different events

48
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:37.120
when you could have just stayed home. And you didn't do it for the money. You didn't do it for accolades. You did it because you care for our students. You take it personal. That's just the way you live your life. so grateful to have worked with you, to known you for this time, to [clears throat] serve on this

49
00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:54.212
board with you. So, congratulations to you guys. Go enjoy it and and go work just as hard at having fun as you did here, and you're going to have a great time. >> For sure. Thank you, sir. >> Okay. Thank you. >> You're not done. >> Am I done, >> Mr. Smith? Your mic's on.

50
00:17:54.212 --> 00:18:17.919
[snorts] There it is. Donnie, the first time we met was at a Battle for the Bone in the parking lot, >> right, >> the end of the night, and we chatted for like 5 10 minutes. I was like, "Man, I really like this guy. This guy's awesome. You You were so laid-back um

51
00:18:17.919 --> 00:18:33.360
and easygoing, but dedicated to your job, and that was fantastic. You're going to be missed. dearly missed. It's going to be very hard to replace you. It'd be hard to live in your shadow or anyone that

52
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:49.919
comes up behind you for sure. And uh I just want to let you know it's been an honor and a pleasure to work for with you for this time that we had. Thank you so much. >> Thank you so much. >> Two more. Well, Mr. I mean, Dr. Enfield, >> Donnie, again, I want to thank you for

53
00:18:49.919 --> 00:19:06.160
your your years of service and also the service to the board of education. Uh people may not know this, but Donnie does a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes. Uh and you take care of this board. Uh you've taken care of past boards over and over and over for a

54
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:22.640
number of years. I think you've been doing this at over 30 some years of of being at at the board meeting. So you've seen quite a bit. I've been here almost 20 years. Um and and I've seen everything that you've done behind the scenes. And as the superintendent, I truly appreciate all the support that

55
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:38.640
you've given me. U people don't know this, but Donnie will pick up a phone and say, "Hey, Norm, there's this going on coming up at a board meeting and and will give me heads up and gives me information." Uh, and we've had a lot of big board meetings with a tremendous amount of people and having to manage

56
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:55.600
all of that through all of those those those those trying uh board meetings because they have been and you've been the security as as uh the lead security for our district in and in in many uh very I

57
00:19:55.600 --> 00:20:11.280
would say very difficult board meetings to deal with and and you've been here through all that and you've been here through very great board meetings that we've had over the years and >> mainly great ones. >> Yeah. And and we've had a lot of great board meetings and I've appreciate our personal relationship that we have and

58
00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:27.679
the conversations that we have and I I will miss that uh before every board meeting. You and I usually sit down and have a little bit of a a conversation and again I I truly appreciate that and I know we'll stay in touch. Absolutely. Uh this will be your last board meeting here but we will definitely stay in touch and again thank you for your

59
00:20:27.679 --> 00:20:42.720
service. I truly appreciate that. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> Thank you. Donnie, I have so many words, but I don't want to make you suffer by standing in front of us for so long. Um, but I just go back to thank you first for serving the board, but most importantly serving our students. Um, I

60
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:58.960
remember the first time I met you was my first time coming to a board meeting as a mother and um just meeting someone when you're walking into a room, not sure who's who or you know who's a good guy, bad guy, and then you just treated us with kindness. you made sure that we

61
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:14.559
knew that we were safe and coming, you know, as a board president with things that have come my way and being in this position. You've always made me feel like I had a protective armor around me and, you know, even when my family visits at a board meeting, I just

62
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:29.600
appreciate even the small details of ensuring that they get to their cars safe safely. And sometimes I don't even know what you're doing and I find out later that you know the nice security guard mom, the nice one, you know who he is and I [clears throat] know they're speaking about you. Um, so I just want to thank you from the bottom of my

63
00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:45.679
heart. I love you and your wife dearly and I just pray that you have the best time ever. Um, but this is no ending. It's just the beginning and we'll for sure be seeing you soon. So thank you for all of your service. And uh, one of my favorite favorite verses is Isaiah

64
00:21:45.679 --> 00:22:05.760
68. You remind me of that. So, thank you very very much, Johnny, for your service. >> Thank you, everybody. >> Thanks. >> Okay, we're now on to comments from employee representatives. Do we have ACT representative, Mr. Rener?

65
00:22:05.760 --> 00:22:27.360
>> No. Danny Hernandez, CSCA. >> Good evening, President Shaw. Board President Shaw, board members, Superintendent Enfield, staff and community, I just wanted to share with you during these summer months, classified staff members are busy getting things ready for the beginning of the school year. Like uh you guys

66
00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:43.840
mentioned, a lot of the stuff that we do is behind the scenes. Technology, maintenance, transportation, warehouse staff are busy moving equipment, making sure classrooms are ready for school, our for our students. Our mechanics are doing maintenance on a preventative maintenance on our vehicles. What many

67
00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:59.600
may not see or realize is our HR staff is doing their best to get positions filled for this coming school year. Special education is making sure pair of professionals and bus aids are ready for the first day of school. We have nutrition services and our pair of professionals awaiting their yearly

68
00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:16.080
training. Um it's been said it takes a village. It's not just classified certificated management. It does truly take us all. I want to take time to thank each and every classified member um for the work that they do to get schools ready for

69
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:33.360
the beginning of for students to return. Um there are only a few more weeks left of summer break. Please enjoy the time off with your family and friends and can't wait for students to return uh for this 26 27th school year. And a special congratulations to Mr. Shinkle on his

70
00:23:33.360 --> 00:23:49.600
retirement and for the next chapter. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you. Do we have Annette Hatch from Champ or anybody from CHAMP? >> No. Okay, we're now on to public comments. Reagan, how many requests to speak? There are five.

71
00:23:49.600 --> 00:24:06.880
>> Five. Okay, awesome. Board bylaw 9323 meeting conduct establishes public comment guidelines and the following process applies. Speakers will be called in the order you registered on the electronic request to speak device. Names are displayed on monitors. Please watch for your name to appear and line

72
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:22.559
up at the designated numbers one through three behind the mic and they are with round little circles. Um once the recording secretary announces the first name, request to speak will no longer be accepted. Additionally, government code 54957.9

73
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:39.279
authorizes the removal of an individual or group when a meeting is willfully interrupted and order cannot be restored. Further, Penal Code 403 43 states in part, "Every person who without authority of law willfully

74
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:55.919
disturbs or breaks up any lawful assembly or meeting not unlawful in its character is guilty of a misdemeanor." Mr. Cruz, please put on your and your mic's on. >> Speakers, you have up to three minutes to address the board. You cannot donate

75
00:24:55.919 --> 00:25:12.720
your time, one person at the mic at a time. If you read on behalf of an absent person, that will be considered your time. Begin comments when the clock starts. The clock begins when the secretary announces your name. Please refer to board policy 1312.1 in the procedure regarding complaints against

76
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:27.039
the employee. And lastly, speakers may not approach the disases anytime the board is in session. Please give any materials you wish dispute distributed to the board to the reporting secretary.

77
00:25:27.039 --> 00:26:00.480
Lisa G on a non-aggenda item teacher Natalie Cooney to leave and accept a position teaching in another district. You targeted Miss Cooney after she spoke out against your discriminatory policies and advocated for students, particularly as advisor TA

78
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:16.559
Illa's gender and sexuality alliance club. Providing support to and acceptance of all students is supposed to be the goal of all who work for this district. Yes, even this board. Instead, you routinely attack LGBTQ students and

79
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:32.400
anyone who supports them. Within a month of Miss Cooney speaking publicly about a student who had been physically assaulted on campus, Miss Shaw filed a complaint with unsubstantiated allegations that resulted in Miss Cooney being placed on administrative leave.

80
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:48.799
Her students lost 10% of the year's instructional time with a qualified teacher. Then at a board meeting, you spread lies about Miss Cooney, calling her a groomer and a predator, while you identified her by name and held up her picture. Those accusations were false,

81
00:26:48.799 --> 00:27:04.080
damaging, and an abuse of the public's trust. The California Teachers Association has filed suit over this retaliation. The case is not about money since she will not gain anything financially. It's about protecting educators from being harassed for

82
00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:21.039
speaking up on behalf of students. Yet once again, it will be taxpayers, not those responsible, who bear the financial cost of legal fees, adding to the millions already wasted during the sport's tenure. The greatest loss, however, is not Miss Cooney. It is the

83
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:36.159
students who will suffer. Your actions did more than drive out another dedicated teacher. You also dismantled one of the strongest high school ASL programs, which Miss Cooney spent six years building. She created opportunities for students to earn

84
00:27:36.159 --> 00:27:53.120
college credit and inspired many to pursue careers in interpreting and deaf studies. If you spoke with her students, you would hear story after story about the difference she made in their lives. When districts drive away talented educators, everyone loses. Students lose

85
00:27:53.120 --> 00:28:09.520
opportunities. Families lose trust. Teachers see that retaliation is the price for speaking up for students. So tell us again how you prioritize education because your actions tell a very different story. Thank you.

86
00:28:09.520 --> 00:28:26.480
>> Christy H on a non-aggenda item. >> Tonight you are acknowledging the resignation of my daughter's ASL teacher Natalie Cooney. Teachers resigned for many reasons. However, in this case, there is one person who holds almost all of the blame. Sonia Shaw. Almost two years ago, after one of Mrs. Cooney

87
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:42.960
students was physically assaulted during club rush. She came to this board to speak about student safety at IA High School. During her comments, Mrs. Shaw changed the rules on the spot and her microphone was cut off. Students responded with overwhelming support for her and concern about what they said was an attempt to silence a teacher

88
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:58.480
advocating for her students. A month later, Mrs. Cooney arrived at school and was placed on administrative leave because of a complaint and she was on leave for almost a month. That complaint was filed by Sonia Shaw and was ultimately determined to be unfounded.

89
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:14.240
During that time, hundreds of students lost over a month of instruction. That complaint and the years of harassment that followed ultimately drove Mrs. Cooney from this district. The attacks did not stop there. Mrs. Cooney was publicly labeled a groomer and repeatedly targeted. Mrs. Shaw, you gave

90
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:31.039
a presentation in this room where you showed her picture and labeled her a groomer. Regardless of politics or personal disagreements, no educator should have to endure years of that kind of treatment. Now, our students are paying the price. My daughter starts her junior year in three weeks and still has no ASL teacher. Mrs. Cooney's

91
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:46.960
qualifications are exceptionally rare. She holds two masters and a credential in ASL, and because of her demonstrated skill level and academic rigor, her program allowed students who completed all four years of ASL to earn 16 college credits. Many students also relied on

92
00:29:46.960 --> 00:30:02.399
the program to complete four years of world language study, earn the seal of biiteracy and strengthen their college applications. Replacing a teacher with that level of expertise is extraordinarily difficult, especially with the temporary contract as the job

93
00:30:02.399 --> 00:30:17.440
was listed in Edjoin. Even if someone is hired, it seems highly unlikely the district will be able to continue offering the same college credit opportunities. Historically, this has proven difficult as past instructors lost this opportunity and Chino Hills High has struggled for years to hire

94
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:33.600
someone. Mrs. Shaw, your actions have harmed not only one outstanding teacher, but almost 200 students and families, including my own, who now stand to lose valuable educational opportunities and thousands of dollars in college tuition savings. The consequences of your

95
00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:49.919
actions did not end with Mrs. Cooney. They now fall on every student who depended on her program. Finally, accountability extends beyond one person. District leadership had a responsibility to protect an educator and preserve a program that had

96
00:30:49.919 --> 00:31:06.960
benefited students for years. Instead, you allowed this to happen and students are left bearing the consequences. That is unacceptable and our families deserve better. Jim Gallagher on a non-aggenda item. Uh, >> greetings. This is uh directed

97
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:23.520
specifically to you, Dr. Enfield. Um, summer's here. I'm not going to add to dialogue about lawsuits or other contentious social issues. I there's already a lot of talented people that are doing that, but I wish to talk about infrastructure needs. Now, first of all,

98
00:31:23.520 --> 00:31:39.679
this is a beautiful facility. It's built by our tax dollars, and I've said that before, and I know you all agree. It's great to be here. But I'm going to bring up again the lack of a podium or a lectturn despite comments from the chair who belittle the request in the light of student achievement. I it is true that

99
00:31:39.679 --> 00:31:54.880
with the help of many of our great teachers some students are doing well at CVUSD. I'll acknowledge that. But besides no podium, let me critique a little more please Dr. Enfield. This is the public's facility after all and I do believe this comes under your purview.

100
00:31:54.880 --> 00:32:11.840
The sound system is not good. It sounds pretty good from our end, but we can't hear you up front. Uh uh I don't know what it is. We're straining to hear discussion on the dice, especially from the end microphones. I won't mention names

101
00:32:11.840 --> 00:32:28.559
at at home. To watch this on YouTube also requires we have to turn up our sound quite a bit on our TV sets to hear it on YouTube. There's a tiny kind of echoey quality and the voices at times are muffled. And this is just something to look look into please. Visually all

102
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:44.559
of you are only heads to us which I think is already in a challenging relationship. Doesn't add any more to that relationship. U the timers we can barely see. We have to look up as it's been mentioned before which to the side

103
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:59.679
to see when our speak it's time to speak or not speak. It's very flustering. Uh the microphone as you know is placed right underneath it. No other public forum that I've attended uh jams all the public comments also on agenda and

104
00:32:59.679 --> 00:33:16.960
non-aggenda items at the beginning. Uh this adds to a lot of confusion to a lot of people about opinions on discussion items and on information items later on. And also I want to add since this is an election year, I'd recommend you have maybe some counsel, some legal counsel

105
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:34.240
present at all these meetings. I'm not sure if you do just to help advise on what's appropriate and not appropriate. So, finally, this all has the outward appearance to many of us of overall disrespect for public opinion and ultimately democracy. Sometimes public

106
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:48.080
opinion is good, as you know, sometimes it's bad, but democracy is what really triumphs here. So, Dr. Enfield, it's summertime. It's the slow time of the season supposedly. Can we fix this, please? Thank you.

107
00:33:48.080 --> 00:34:07.679
>> Lucky Sang on a consent item. >> Good evening everybody. Nice to meet you. My name is Lucky Zang and I'm a rising junior at Yala High School. This year I am starting a career readiness initiative in collaboration with Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce. Our goal is to provide high schoolers important

108
00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:22.399
career opportunities such as internships, mentorship, shadowing, and much more. Many other school districts signed contracts with the chamber and I was made aware that this district um has also signed a contract before but hasn't

109
00:34:22.399 --> 00:34:38.079
resigned. Um even though the past contract has helped many students um we don't understand or the chamber doesn't understand why the district hasn't resigned. Um especially

110
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:53.679
when the job market for me personally as a student, my dad, he's very scared. I'm very scared that we aren't able to get a good stable job. And with this um contract preparing the next generation

111
00:34:53.679 --> 00:35:11.920
for careers, I feel like it'd be very good and beneficial for us to really explore and advance into our careers early on. And um I just I would ask if you guys could please resign the contract with the chamber. Thank you.

112
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:32.240
>> JR on a non-aggenda item. >> Hello board. Um I came here today to discuss the unfair treatment of Natalie Cooney, the former American Sign Language Teacher of Illa High School. From what I was told, she was she ha had her class sections reduced even though

113
00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:48.560
the interest by the students were in abundance. This treatment caused the teacher to step down and take another ASL job elsewhere. By pushing her out, we lose teachers and increase classroom size, offsetting the burden onto other teachers. This does a disservice to the students and the deaf and heart of hearing

114
00:35:48.560 --> 00:36:05.680
community at large for the people who wanted to learn the language to communicate with them. In addition to the lack of the podium here, your actions are leading to a world where individuals with disabilities have less accessibility options and overall decentization of their participation in school life

115
00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:24.400
and society. I ask you all that you do better. Thank you. >> No more public comments. Thank you. And we're now on to changes and deletions. Reagan, are there any? >> There are no changes or deletions. >> Thank you very much. We're now on to consent items. Board members, if you have an item to pull, please indicate so

116
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:44.800
on your board moni on your monitors. Okay, for the consent items, may I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr. Naw. In a second. Thank you, Mr. Cervantes. Board members, please register your vote. Awesome. And the motion passes with a

117
00:36:44.800 --> 00:37:02.960
vote of five to zero. We're now on to information items. Using your monitors, please indicate if there's any comments or questions. Seeing that there isn't any, we're now on to board comments. Mr. Smith,

118
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:21.599
mics on. Oh, uh, I was going to say thank you once again to the Good Sheeperd Presbyterian Church for their very generous donation. That was much appreciated. Donnie again going to be missed. It's been fantastic.

You You've always been awesome taking care of us. So, thank you once again. Uh it was good to see Danny here, but looks like he headed out. I was going to ask about doing a possible ride along. Um somebody I know that they're all working in the background still working very

120
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:54.400
hard and they are um very much appreciated. Uh, finally, the uh I don't know if anybody's been to the concerts in the park. It's been fantastic out there put on by Parks and Recreation. I couldn't be there tonight because they shifted their u meetings around for the
