Amanda Swagger followed by Oscar Aila good evening board president Shaw cabinet 15 years ago I sat in an interview at Chino High School buying for a newly open cemd suos I was met by some of the most amazing administrators I would know in my career Adam Bailey our principal for a short amount of time John Miller and many others were all there it was that impression that they brought to me that would come come back again John Miller would eventually leave to go be the principal at one of our feeder schools but then like the phrase says once a cowboy always a cowboy he was back and is one of the most amazing principles we have in our district a young Jonathan Cervantes was a student at our school graduating in 2011 little did I know that he would become my boss nearly 10 years later one of the best assistant principles I've ever met but there's something we forget there was a position that gets often overshadowed and overlooked within our district our security team little did I know how much sros would mean to me as I grew as a member of the teaching staff our SRO teams whether whether it be Cervantes Blanchett and the many others really really make a difference for our students and I never thought 10 years 15 years later that I would be saying the same thing once a cowboy always a cowboy for our new board member Mr John cantes I'm it's amazing that you are here as part of our board and I'm glad to see that somebody with such caring for our kids has another position as we go into this new year though I ask everyone what's our goals in the coming year as new elected board members we have four years just like a freshman going into high school I have my own goals going into this year I hate the term resolutions but you get the idea but one of them is to make a difference for every one of my students every day and as members of the board you have a chance of doing just that so I want to congratulate everyone on the their election and finally before we finish I do want to thank the district team for their their bargaining in faith and bringing a quick resolution to our negotiations to a fair and favorable offer for our act board and finally last but not least I wish a Merry Merry Christmas to everyone here in our room in our district and thank you for your great year we'll see you in January thank you Oscar Aila on an action item two A3 and then Oscar Aila on a non-agenda item good evening board this board looks more beautiful every time I come up here you guys are such good-looking people you know that I'm so happy I want to thank the Lord first you know for uh uh this city this board you know without him we could do nothing and um congratulations to Mr na Mr Cruz for being reelected and of course our new incoming John Cervantes um he's a man of integrity a man of character um your son is a example just like you you know so I'm excited to have you on board sir and um you know this this city this city has been uh you know has been in the kns for a long time and the city has uh has risen up and spoken and and you guys are the results of the community the community has spoken and wants a board that has children you know that that loves kids you know so I thank God for this city I thank God for the board that you guys are here thank you for for for taking a chance I know it's not an easy job you know people blame you for

on a non-agenda item you have non-agenda okay Curtis Burton followed by Caitlyn cabal he has his name is up twice on his an action and then non agenda you had to make him start the clock again though for you I didn't need like two minutes that's up I'm not a big talker you believe that okay um so my my uh my item was um I thought I put it on paper I guess not it was for the 11a I know you're voting or 11 A3 for the recommended the Board of Education approve attorney engagement agreement with Advocates faith and freedom now um I'm a yes on this and the reason why is because I've seen this uh law firm uh take up um issues that that relate to Faith and freedom and and family so I really believe that we have to have somebody um on board that believes and and and you know protecting your freedom and your your faith this country is a is a is a country of free religion you could do whatever you want to do you could you could worship anybody so I believe that uh that defending that is important and the reason why we're so so great what we do because we have we have God in our lives you know God is the one that directs us you know guides us so I believe that's the reason why America is so great not because we're the biggest or the baddest or the military or the president because of God so I believe any any uh uh firm that uh is built on representing freedom of religion and your faith I think it's good thing so I say yes um I don't know much about them I just know that they they've been uh successful in defending um people's rights so I like that so once again thank you

our district funds to respond to these things even though we're not guilty of anything but unfortunately there is harassment that comes um but with advocates for Faith and freedom they were willing to do this work pro bono so we do not have to have District lawyers respond on our behalf any longer so if this is approved I 100% appreciate this so we can put funds you often hear that we're spending all this money on lawyers and lawsuits and this and that and the other a lot of that is not true but we always do our best to make sure that we try to use resources so we don't have to take away from our children um and that's why I'm grateful that this organization has stepped up and said they would do that without charging us um uh so yes I am just grateful for the opportunities that are

obviously were amazing and you know I'm just grateful to have the support that I had to experience this to be able to to represent our community and our school district at this level I was able to do that on the police department but now to be able to serve and this capacity is truly an honor I take the uh taking the oath of office very serious ly so when I when I read that oath thinking about the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of State of California that really means something to me so I take that to heart and so you're going to get the best I got every day I leave it all out there on the floor I promise you that and I just wanted to get that out of the way really quick so you know know where I stand on that some of the events that I got to participate in So Far So Dr Enfield president sha and I were able to attend the make a child smile at the Walmart last week it was amazing so uh just when you see those kids in there you know and they're so excited to shop you know and uh if I was in there honestly I'd be thinking about what what can I get me you know honestly but those kids were more concerned about what they can get for their family members and that really that's humbling and it teaches you a lot about giving more than receiving and uh so I think we could all take away something from that so I was really blessed by participating in that I think everybody that was there received the same also I was able to participate in the t a couple of the D graduations so at a Cortez Elementary at Newman Elementary and at wall Elementary with uh president Shaw it was amazing so I'm really excited to see the Dare program come back I actually was able to teach that way back when in 2002 with the Chino Police Department to be able to see officer Alano and and the Chino Police Department bring that back now for about a year here it's awesome to see that the uh the mentoring and the leadership that goes into that it's really awesome so I'm really thankful for the chief of police department and for officer Solano and the whole Police Department that uh they did an outstanding job and I'm so glad it's back and uh last but not least I just want to wish everybody a a Merry Christmas and uh just hope you guys are blessed and have a safe uh Christmas and holiday thank you thank you Mr cantes we have Mr naw press it one more time it keeps

from bottom of his Hearts I'd like to thank not only our board members but the family members that are sitting here in audience um Mr Chris Shaw I like your cowboy hat and your uh strong stance as a father and your lovely two daughters that supports your mom that that sometimes that she has to be out in the public fighting for the just for all the children in school district and sometimes it takes toll on everyone but we need the support from especially our family I see um Mrs cvent's family member here and that's what we need and Mrs mon she's such a wise lady I love her uh she has a common sense and she's a pillar uh standing behind and making sure that her husband is not only doing right job but she's there to protect him I could see that which we are all here together for uh I'm just so glad that in such a time like this we're sitting here in Under One Roof in this joyful season Christmas time greeting each other and celebrating the real reason for Christmas Christmas is about love and sharing joy and declaring the compassion for those people that needs the most that includes of course our children and of course those children that might not have the parents and might not have homes to return so let's keep that in our mind and and most importantly uh teachers and our staff members who are supporting them in daily basis with uh true sacrifices that that's going to change their future and this is what makes our schools district a great place to to send our students and have them learn so thank you for being here as Who You Are and have a merry Christmas for all of you guys thank you thank you Mr n and then we have Mr Cruz you know Sonia um you know we we have a young man that plays professional guitarists at our school so hopefully next year we can invite

and I I went all over the place and I so I saw so many beautiful homes the flags every flag I saluted and you could tell the energy with those homes and energy with other homes and and out of out out of thousands of homes there was probably seven homes that they would would display candies and it was for Amazon but it was so intricate that these people adored the Amazon deliveries or or whoever it was that was bringing stuff in and I I appreciated these people because they acknowledged that these people needed you know nourishment and the Gratitude they had for them to come and then and then I have people telling me hey what do you think of CRT uh are you a Republican are you Trump and and it it was so it was so I I really in searching neighborhoods I felt good good energy really comfortable and peaceful energy and other neighbor neighborhoods just far out there just you know I just go and just walk and do what I have to do but um those walking I really enjoy the peaceful and the Tranquility of just walking and and going to house to house and um and I really appreciate that and um it's a great experience a lot of reflection a lot of meditation pretty much we're all the same we're all the same so I like to say this a perfect world breeed with free will where Discovery dances on the edge of expansion diversity blossoms in the garden of creation and challenges rise like mountains to climb Adventure calls with a whisper of Courage exploration Paints the skies with endless wonders regen regeneration sings the songs of renewal Beauty stands as a soul of quiet mirror the strength forged the Trailblazers path the Maverick Spirit Burns bright and Untamed here lies Humanity whole and radiant goodness flowing from the depths of within you know every one of us

and move forward I just appreciate from the bottom of my heart and I really tremendously hope that you're blessed especially during this Christmas season um also uh alongside Mr svantes which was really cool um to see him there and also see the relationships that he already has at many of our school sites we attended the Dare graduations and those are really near and dear to my heart as a CVUSD student um and also my mother um who did drugs the Dare program really helped um students like myself and I remember winning that dare essay back then and telling my story and me and my siblings story on what happened and how dare ALS so was able to help us with the the skill set that they have given us you know to move forward from things that had happened in our in in our past so the Dare program is truly special uh officer Solano he has such a heart and passion to teach that program to the kids and that really shows um he just doesn't go in there as a job none of our Police Department by the way in Chino police department does that you could tell their hearts in everything every assignment that they take I see an officer in the front row I'm not going to embarrass him but um they're just amazing and and a retired officer and a retired officer retired officer all over here I mean that's how much our community loves our officers and we love it because you guys are so involved and you continue to stay involved so thank you the Dare program is amazing officer Solano is amazing I love just sitting there and seeing the kids just light up when he's um doing that it's not something that they feel like you could tell that they're bored or anything they're excited they can't wait to come across that um Podium and grab that certificate and go outside and meet all the other officers and you know get to see the cars and the um we also have a special guest that comes you know the the police dog um we didn't get to see her the last one but I just look forward to that um I also Dr enfeld and I got to attend aala I see one of our special elves in the audience um Miss Mooney over there man AA does such a great job at making sure our students are involved um we were we had the honor and privilege to watch this great thing that they did for our our students that had special have special needs and they brought them into the office area they decorated they had Santa security some of them were addressed as elves like literally elves they all had cute elv shirts all the staff did and um the office staff went out and purchased gifts for each of those kids depending on their list and their wants and that comes from their heart that's not something they have to do and I just love seeing those things because those are you know what makes CB USD so special and I just appreciate being able to be part of that Dr Enfield he lights up when he sees you know those things too it's just it's fun and I don't know if you guys are aware of this um AA has these big old blowup snowmans and a big old blowup bulldog and they get stolen but stolen from other principles at other sites so these big blowups that are in their office get stolen and it's like a joke now um that you know some of our principals even dress as Grinch every once in a while and go grab them um so it's just fun it's fun to have fun but while we all see things get done that need to get done for the students but have fun while we have it just shows the the specialness and the uniqueness of um why Chino Valley is so special um make a child smile if you guys have not heard of that it's such a great program that our fire department and then also the police department in the city they all partner up but the fire department puts this out through their um their board um it's through their nonprofit board right their the foundation sorry that's the word I was looking for um this was my second year I got to attend and it's just such a beautiful event to watch these kids and either their guardian or their parent come off the bus and like svant said H all of them aren't looking to really purchase anything for themselves they're really just looking to make sure that their families get something special on Christmas and to see them not be selfish just it's it's just so special to see that that these programs are available for our students and these opportunities I also attended Glenn me's um uh America that the start of the nation put on by Aaron and kylen fellas um it it was so cool to see they have a drama club and to see these students just pour their heart into this play and obviously the heart comes behind our staff as well just dedicating their time um I it was just such a special play and to see these kids recite things that you know as as young as Kinder I think through third grade first grade first grade oh my gosh so that's even um more impressive it was just super impressive to see um hopefully it continues some more of us can enjoy to go see it and the other board members and Dr Enfield have a chance to go see it so thank you for inviting me to that um I think that's all I have I just want to thank our community for enduring what it has and continuing to just come together regardless of some of the differences we all have the same goal and that's to make sure our kids have a great education free from distractions and free from what sometimes is put in their place we have a great staff we just need to all come together and be supportive and try to figure out those differences and get on the same path this board I am so excited I mean this is this is the community this is what the community has spoken for um so thank you just for being involved thank you for ensuring that our community um has a board that has you know the goal of making sure that they can do what they do best and what our teachers do best which is teach our kids I am so very grateful and blessed for that I also want to say you know alone we can it's by Helen Keller I'm sure you guys heard this quote but um I remember in fifth grade we did um I was actually Helen Keller in a play in my fifth grade at Lo Ranos Elementary it has closed but um that place was super special to me but um she had said alone we can do so little but together we can do so much and that's exactly what this community is doing alone each of us we can only do so much there's not so much we can even do unless we all come together and we are coming together I can tell you from people who reach out to me even from New York school boards asking how and what do we do it's inspiring to know that others are watching you Chino Valley because it is special all the way from city council down to the Mayors down to our fire and our police and our First Responders our security up here our staff I mean we're unique and you're we're special but again alone we can only do so much here and I just hope that we continue to grow and Inspire and and reach out and make sure that kids all over California and all over the nation have a future um I'm excited about what's happening I want to thank you and I want to thank the three in the front row not only for coming but just being there day after day night after night through the tears the laughter through some of the scariest moments of Our Lives I love you guys thank you you guys shouldn't be here cuz this is what happens but I love you you guys thank you for all that you do the community doesn't see some of the things that happen the things that have come your way even my children that things that they have faced and your faith and your love and your support enable me not to feel so guilty when I'm not able to be there Chris thank you for being there you know when I can't be there as a mother you're
