Hand over your heart. Ready? Begin. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all. Thank you. >> Thank you, Ms. Olga. We're now on to 1C, recognition. We're now on to one of my favorite parts of the evening, recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of our students and staff. Tonight, the Board
of Education is proud to recognize Chino High School's Track and Field program for their remarkable achievements at the 2026 CIF Track and Field Championships. Competing at the state level requires extraordinary dedication, perseverance, and determination.
These student athletes represented Chino High School with pride while competing among California's top track and field athletes. We have Lucas Villa Lobos advanced to the CIF Track State Track and Field Championships after earning
third place in both the boys para ambulatory 100-m and 200-m events at the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet. At the state championships, he earned ninth place in both events. Can we give him a round of applause?
We'll be calling them all up to the podium soon, but I want to give you a little bit background about the rest as well. And then we have Gionni Phillips advance to the CIF Track and Field Championships after earning fourth place in the girls 100 meter hurdles at the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet. She
went on to earn eighth place in the event at the state championships. Can we give her a round of applause? And then we also have Arri'el Middleton returned to the CIF State Track and Field Championships after capturing first place in the girls para
ambulatory shot put at the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet. She successfully defended her her state title by earning first place at the state championships for the second consecutive year becoming a two-time CIF State Champion.
Can we give her a round of applause? We also never would forget and we want to recognize head coach Jessica Arri'el for her exceptional leadership, dedication, and commitment to excellence in guiding these student athletes to distinguished performances through the season and at the CIF State and Track
and Field Championships. Coach Arri'el, would you please come with me to the podium? Can we give her a round of applause, please? >> [applause] >> Did you get injured? >> I I did. I have surgery on Tuesday. >> I'm praying for you. [clears throat] >> Thank you. >> Well, thank you so much. Would you like
to say a few words about the program and the students? >> I got to just really quick. Okay. I want to start off by first recognizing Gianni Phillips. One thing that you should know about Gianni is she is actually the second athlete for Chino High history to actually win a
divisional title at CIF finals in the 100 hurdles. So, I just want to say congratulations to you on that. And also I really want to thank Ms. Van Emburgs, Aurelia's mom, and Aurelia as well. They have really opened our eyes and brought awareness to the sport of
track and field for our para athletes, which also allowed us to help Lucas and find a pathway for him as well. So, we just really can't thank you guys enough. So, appreciate it. >> [applause] >> And also thank you to our board for
recognizing us as well as our administration for always being there for all the support. >> Absolutely. No, thanks for your leadership. If I can have the board and the superintendent join us so we can present certificates. Thank you. Thank you for all that you do. Let's see. We'll have them line up.
Sometimes they choose odd sides. >> [laughter] >> We'll have you all go out this way and then we'll have the students come up. Okay. Do you want to announce their names or do you want me to? >> Gianna Phillips. >> [applause] >> Well, I kind of made it hard for you,
huh? Congratulations. We would love to take a picture with you when possible. You can just join us. >> [laughter] >> And then can we have Lucas Villalobos? Perfect. Arel Middleton.
>> [applause] >> Amazing, amazing job. >> [clears throat] >> And we can have Chino High staff come join us. Thank you for your support. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Please join me again in congratulating these awesome outstanding student athletes and coach Perell on the
remarkable achievements. Thank you so much and enjoy your summer. I'll just give him a second. Okay. Awesome. Next, we're on to comments from employee representatives. Not sure if they have anybody from ACT. Anybody from CSEA?
And chat. Looks like they're enjoying their summer, which is great. And now we're on to public comments. Reagan, how many comments request to speak do you have? >> We have six. >> Thank you. 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 the monitors. Please watch for your name to appear and line up at the designated numbers 1 through 3 behind the mic. Once the recording secretary announces the first
name, request to speak will no longer be accepted. Additionally, government code 54957.9 authorizes removal of an individual or group when a meeting is willfully interrupted and order cannot be restored. Earlier penal code 403 states
in part, "Every person who without authority or law willfully disturbs or breaks up any lawful assembly or meeting not unlawful in its character is guilty of a misdemeanor." Mr. Cruz. >> Mic check. >> Speakers, you have up to 3 minutes to address the board. You cannot donate
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 for the procedure regarding complaints
against an employee. And lastly, speakers may not approach the dices anytime the board is in session. Please give any materials you wish distributed to the board to the recording secretary. >> Glory Ciccarelli. On a non-agenda item.
>> I only have two things to say today. First, as someone who was born in Kenya to Nigerian and Kenyan parents and raised here since I was 6 months old, my ancestral roots are on the mother continent. Tomorrow, however, we honor the ancestors rooted to this continent,
in this country, from these lands. Ancestors like Sally Hemings, a victim of her predator slave master Thomas Jefferson, who had six kids with her despite Sally being the very definition of unable to consent. Ona Judge, the personal slave to Martha Washington, the
same same slave that the Washingtons hunted down using federal resources till their last days. Anarcha, Betsy, and Lucy, three women that America's version of Mengele, Marion Sims, performed gynecological procedures on without anesthesia because
black women don't feel pain the same way as white women. Medical racial bias that persists to this day and that I myself have been the victim of many times. Second, I want to remind everyone in this community, especially those sitting up there on the dais, of the fact that
there are teachers in this district who have said the N-word in classrooms around and to children. Some multiple times and some who have helped get board members elected. There are principals who are using their position to retaliate against their educators and
getting away with it all because they make sure to jump when the board says how high. Now, I'm I'm not saying this because, as Mr. Smith's wife said, I only care about my race or because, as Oscar Avila told me, because I'm stuck on the Democratic plantation cuz I like
to complain so much. I'm saying this to implore HR to take a look at their reporting procedures, create an and create a mechanism for anonymous complaints, especially as they relate to possible Title IX violations. Teachers, staff, and district personnel shouldn't
risk their jobs or retirement seniority speaking in this room or reporting foolishness they have witnessed. If you continue to fail in your duty to this district and the people within it, as bad as things are, it's never going to get changed and only keep getting worse
till something catastrophic happens. Anyways, I know no one at the dais will address anything I said, so I wanted to say to everyone to start coming to these meetings and making your voices heard. Remember, you're not talking to them cuz they've made it clear they don't care.
You're talking to us, to people like me, who will make it our mission to make sure that despite their apathy, you'll get everything you need to be safe, happy, and healthy. Happy Juneteenth and to the ancestors who made it possible for me to stand here in this room today,
from the bottom of my heart, thank you. >> Lauren Wills Crawford on a non-agenda item. >> Good evening. My name is Lauren Wills Crawford. I'm here tonight because of recent events involving neglect and abuse of my 5-year-old son.
His name is Julian. He's autistic and non-verbal. The abuse occurred while he was at school and under the care of a special education teacher and aid. I initially suspected a problem when he came home from school one day in the same diaper he went to school in.
His diaper was so soaked in urine that it was disintegrating and the urine had soaked through his clothes. Needless to say, I was deeply concerned for my son's well-being while he was at school. And with me receiving no response from the teacher and Julian being unable to communicate
any details to me, I sent him to school the following day wearing his smart watch because in my experience where there's neglect, there's abuse. And I'm both saddened and enraged to report that that was indeed the case with Julian. What I heard through his
watch that day was profoundly disturbing. And while I won't get into all of the details, you should know that it involved both verbal and physical abuse. While Julian was in a bathroom with a male aid sitting on a toilet with his
pants down. I don't quite have the words to describe to you just how enraged I am. It is both disgusting and heartbreaking that anyone would treat a child in the way that I witnessed Julian being treated that day. Unfortunately, though, Julian's
experience exists within a much larger and deeply troubling reality. Research has consistently shown that individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, experience abuse and neglect at nearly three times the rate of their non-disabled peers. For nonverbal
children, the risk is even greater. So, I ask you tonight, what is the board doing to ensure the safety of severely disabled children throughout the district, particularly those who can't speak? Because whatever isn't place right now, it's not working. If it was, what
happened to my son would not have happened. Why? Why are there no cameras in these classrooms? Why are we not using the most basic technology to monitor what is going on? I know it can be done. Districts across
the country have done it successfully and at very little cost. As such, I'm formally requesting that this board take the appropriate steps for the installation of video cameras in every single mod-severe special education classroom district-wide, every single
one. For students like Julian, cameras will provide an additional layer of safety that can serve as a powerful deterrent against abuse, neglect, and misconduct. For parents like myself, cameras offer peace of mind. For teachers and classroom staff, cameras provide protection against false
accusations. And perhaps most importantly, for administ- >> Catherine Gardner on a non-agenda item. >> Thank you. If you >> Catherine Gardner >> your time is up, but if you can, can you please email that to us so we may have
record of it? If >> I we can't unless you had extra time. There's no way that we're allowed to do that, unfortunately. I would obviously love to receive the information. Please, please follow it up with an email to all of us. Um and we'll make sure that we have it a staff to address.
>> Hi, Ms. Shaw and the board. I'm here to document a history of animus, harassment, and hate incidents against LGBTQ individuals from Sonya Shaw and her Protect Girls Sports Group and campaign she co-leads. Incident number
CVH-CCRA87U was registered with the state of California Against Hate Reporting. It describes a hate incident associated with Ms. Shaw and her group that took place at the CIF Division 3 preliminaries in the Yorba Linda High
School parking lot on May 10th, 2026. The victim of the queer bashing attack, a trans man who leads Pride at the Pier, was previously harassed at a CVUSD board meeting in a hate incident that occurred on March 7th, 2024 that Ms. Shaw allowed
to happen. A group associated with her held up a sign that said groomers and pointed it at any queer person who spoke during the meeting. Ms. Shaw allowed the group to stay and took pictures with them after. She allegedly laughed and took a picture of
the sign from the dais as well. The incident at the track meet is also connected to a hate incident that happened at the same event last year in May 2025, where Ms. Shaw heckled a transgender athlete, a minor child, and cornered the child's mother screaming in
her face. Ms. Shaw had no children competing at the meet. That incident was registered with local law enforcement by the child's mother. The queer bashing of the trans man, the trans child, and her mother are only
three examples of the animus Ms. Shaw and her Protect Girls Sports Coalition, which includes DOJ lawyers like Bill Essayli and Chino Valley Unified's former lawyer, Julie Hammel, have displayed these past few years. Ms. Shaw, your cruelty will be your
undoing. The only difference between last year and this year is that last year you screamed at trans people yourself. This year you had your husband harass them. >> Paul Griffin on action item 2B1. >> Hi. Um so, for the adoption of the
budget, um I didn't have a chance to to look to see what's there and uh pretty sure it's large, but what I would appreciate very much is if uh anyone here on the board when you're going to pass it, when you're talking
about it, uh did it include a podium for us? It'd be very much appreciated. Um I know we talked about it at the last meeting. Um I know that uh there's been a lot of other things that I've wanted to talk about,
which has prevented me from addressing this particular issue. Ms. Shaw, you said at the first meeting we brought it up that we have done so much good work, so many achievements worth noting
uh for our district and and with the board, and if that is so, uh and I do agree there's a number of things that that we can be happy about. Um the thing that you said was that out of all of these things we're complaining about, a podium.
Well, if we can make all of those achievements happen, I think we can make a podium happen given how little it would take. So, I'd appreciate it once again
if you can let us know if a podium is in the budget. It'd make a lot of us happy. And if not, if you can explain a rationale for why a podium would not be in the best interest of everyone in the community. Thank you.
>> Lisa G on a non-agenda item. >> As school board president Sonia Shaw campaigns for the job of state superintendent of public instruction in the November election, she has been claiming credit for our district's academic success, but voters should know the truth.
One of the reasons students are doing relatively well here is because the previous school board made the decision in 2021 to add 30 minutes of instructional time when our schools reopened after COVID. This helped reverse some of the learning loss that students around the country
experienced while classes were online. You know who was among the loudest opponents of that policy? Sonia Shaw, who would disrupt school board meetings as a parent to scream at the board. So, the policy that helped students the most was opposed by the candidate who is more
focused on spreading misinformation and spouting MAGA conspiracy theories than on improving academic achievement. I've attended nearly every school board meeting since she became president almost 4 years ago, and I can attest to the fact that Ms. Shaw rarely mentions any academic programs, teaching
innovations, or tech updates. 99% of her proposals, resolutions, and rants are political in nature, from book bans to attacking teachers. Like the political groups and dark money that back her, Ms. Shaw is focused on dismantling our public school system so our tax money
will instead be paying for even rich people to send their children to private schools. That's in stark contrast to her opponent, Richard Barerra, who leads San Diego Unified School Board and has a track record of actual successes and seeks to improve public education for
all students. It's distressing to see how many California voters have been fooled into thinking that Ms. Shaw, who brags how she barely graduated high school herself, actually cares about academics. I can't recall the last time a member of this board asked a single insightful question before a vote. Not
on the El Cap vote at the last meeting, not on approving hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to pay for unnecessary lawsuits, not on approving millions for record-high salary increases for our cabinet or for themselves. Our district thrives in spite of an incompetent school board,
thanks mostly to great teachers, staff, students, and families. I'd like to dedicate this speech to one of those teachers, Amanda Swagger of Chino High School, whose memorial service was today. She was a valued member of our group, Chino Valley Defenders of Public Education, and will be greatly missed.
Amanda always spoke up for what she believed in and sought to bring people together. That's why it was so disrespectful to hear Ms. Shaw at the service today say that Amanda was one of her biggest supporters. Amanda made it clear that she respected the separation of church and state and wanted to see a change on this board so we could finally
be focused on education instead of the culture wars that now permeate every meeting. Rest in peace, Amanda, and know that we will keep fighting. Thank you. >> Paul Griffin on a non-agenda item. >> I just a couple of things. First off, uh
sharing my congratulations with the with the track team there. That was magnificent. Ms. Shaw, uh I would like to extend one small bit of uh appreciation when you did speak uh about Ms. Swagger is that you did say that uh
she was sent by God to do a a great work and she did and I appreciate that. Um The other thing I want to bring up though, and I think this is just to make sure we all get uh
we all understand one another. There was a teacher in Colorado who made same-sex students kiss. And that teacher was rightly fired.
I've asked many people on my side of uh the argument and I've talked to people on the opposing side of my aisle. And we are all in agreement this was the correct decision. And I just want to make it clear that
while we do support the LGBTQ students we don't support them this way. And it's completely inappropriate. And if anyone ever did do that in our district, I would hope they would be uh meet with the same fate.
So there's the proper way of of supporting these students and then there's an improper way. That one was an outlier and is not what we would say normal support uh for those students. So if we all
can agree to that one uh I think that could be that little bit of uh common ground as Mr. Cervantes you you requested uh a couple of meetings ago. I hope that this would be some common ground we can all
stand on. Thank you. >> Is that it? Thank you. And we're now into changes and deletions. Reagan, are there any? >> The following changes are on the agenda. Item 3B8, resolution 2025-2026-51,
use of 2026-2027 education protection account funds. Page 46A has been added and is yellow sheeted. And item 3E1, certificated classified personnel items, page 127 is yellow
sheeted. There are no further changes or deletions. Thank you very much. And now we're on to action items 2A1, 2026-2027 local control and accountability plan. Recommend the Board of Education adopt the 2026-2027 local control and accountability plan.
May have a motion, please. Thank you, Mr. Cruz, and thank you, Mr. Cervantes, for your second. Any comments, questions, discussions? Seeing Mr. Cruz was it one? Press it again cuz you turned it off and I noticed that. Okay, hold on. There There you go.
>> You know, I'm very encouraged by the continued focus on strong teaching, academic skills, and college career readiness for all our students. Thank you. >> Awesome. Thank you, Mr. Cruz. I echo your comments. And seeing that no other
board members have anything, board members, please register your vote. And the motion [clears throat] passes with the vote of 5 to 0. The next item is 2B1, adoption of the 2026-2027
budget. Recommends the Board of Education adopt the 2026-2027 budget for all funds and authorize the superintendent or designee to sign the 2026-2027 district certification of the budget adoption. May have a motion, please. Thank you, Mr. Cervantes, and thank you,
Mr. Noth, for your second. Any comments, questions, discussions? AC is your monitors. I would just like to point out another positive budget. Thank you, guys. You're always doing the hard work behind the scenes. I see um districts all across
California in deficits and laying people off. So, it's pretty good to have a rockstar team making sure that we have all everything in in order for our kids, but also living within our means. So, thank you very much. I like to acknowledge all the hard work. Thank you Sandra Chin, too, because we know that
you're the driver of that vessel. So, thank you again. Um Mr. Cruz, I see your mic just came on. I'll let you. >> Just to let us, you know, know, this is what? 15 positive This is certificated budgets.
Yeah, brother. Yeah. Yes. >> That's excellent. >> Yeah. >> For those that could hear couldn't hear, she said we'd never had a negative budget. It's always been positive. So, that's a huge thing, um especially in California. So, thank you again for everything.
Um seeing nothing further from any of my colleagues, board members, please register your vote. One more. There we go. And the motion passes with a vote of five to zero. Next item is 2C1.
It's approval of increases to the salary schedules for employees of the Associated Chino Chino Teachers ACT and California School Employees Association CSEA and its Chino Chapter 102 and non-representative employees including certificated and classified management,
classified confidential, executive cabinet members, and superintendent effective July 1st, 2026. Recognize the Board of Education approve the increases to the salary schedules for the employees of the Associated Chino Teachers ACT, California School
Employees Association CSEA, and its Chino Chapters 102 and non-representative employees including certificated, classified management, classified confidential, executive cabinet members, and superintendent effective July 1st, 2026. May I have a motion, please? Thank you, Mr.
Cervantes, and thank you, Mr. Nah, for your second. Any comments, questions, or discussions? Use your monitors. I think I would just like to point out um when I first came on board, one of the things I've always heard is Chino is
not competitive, but I learned that the funding model in California is not equitable. Um and that was shown to me. I learned it. We saw how the funding is distributed. Obviously, if you have a lot of failure, you get more money, unfortunately, in California. So, I want to acknowledge the, you know, the
increases in test score, our um even students in the seats. We we do a great job, the graduation rates. Um but then also, Monroe, in all fairness, he had left um you know, to move to another state, but him and I came in with a
complete 100% united thing to say, "Okay, it's not competitive, but what we can can what can we do to make it more competitive?" And I want to thank again you guys for um and the and the rest of the board that supported it as well with that dream and vision. And then our
staff to really truly dig in and see what we can do to make sure that we keep doing as much as we can when we can within our means, so we're not laying off people like we've seen other districts give high raises and then lay off 150 to 280 people, which is devastating. Um so, thank you again for
supporting the board's mission as a whole to make sure that our salaries continue to be, you know, heading in the right direction. So, we want to acknowledge that and thank you again. And I don't see any other Okay, Mr. Nah. You got Mr. Nah, Mike Sam.
>> Yeah, um I just like to note that just recent survey revealed that in California the household income with $100,000 in Orange County is considered now as a
poor class. This is what we are facing and is very imperative that we do our best serve our employment groups
and and uh support our families. It is crucial that we need to be together all the time 100% of times uh during such a time like this.
So, um thank you for our cabinet members for these recommendations to support our our uh employment groups and staffs. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mr. Na. I'm seeing no other comments registered on the mic. Um we'll go ahead and register our vote. Board members, please register now. Thank you, and the motion passes with the vote of 5 to 0.
And that concludes our action items. We're moving 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, Mr. Cervantes, for your motion. Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your
second. Board members, please register your vote. Awesome, and the motion passes with the vote of 5 to 0. We're now on to information items. Are there any comments or questions, board members? Seeing that there's none, we're now on
to board comments. Mr. Smith. Mic is on. >> Dr. Enfield, with regard to the the parent that came up and spoke earlier about the cameras in the classroom. I think that most people would kind of like that idea. Are Are there any obstacles that
we would encounter if we were to try to deploy something like that? >> Yeah, there there would be probably quite a bit of obstacles, but we can look into it. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Um it's the summer camps have started for
all the students and they're already back at it working hard, especially band kids. Um so um you know, I just wanted to appreciate the students and staff that are you know, summer time for a lot of the kids. These kids are out there working hard um for I don't know
four days a week, three four days a week, so um just wanted to recognize those kids. Today was also uh Amanda Swiger's memorial. I was unable to attend, unfortunately, but Amanda was
was fantastic and I miss Amanda all the time. Um she was a pillar of logic and reason and that was always appreciated in this in this board room here. So
I just wanted to say that she's missed. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Smith. Mr. Na. Press the button. >> Yes, um >> But And it's on. >> Yes, um just a couple weeks ago
now at our church our pastor said something about Wemo. Yes, tax service with our the driver. And he actually watched
Wemo making an a mistake. Making a wrong turn. And he had actually realized something that was very important. He said pursuing
when you knowledge without building wisdom could be a meaningless for our next generation. And I was thinking about our kids and our school system. What our kids
Yes, we work very hard teaching them about knowledge. Gaining more knowledge every semester, every year.
But wisdom without wisdom especially being not being able to taught at home it could be detrimental for their meaningful life in the future.
So before we start we have said before the true education starts at home. The true education began at home
by the parents and grandparents. So, thank you for our parents and grandparents for teaching our
children about wisdom. It will separate from us from future AI intelligence
because of we are human. Today we miss Amanda. He was not just a teacher but he was a true character person with person caring wisdom
with his students in the classroom and also with among us. And we have another person sitting in the back. Dong Ngo High School teacher I would call him Dr. Frankenstein
who is proud of his sister who also went to Dong Ngo High School and went to Europe in Switzerland and studied science. And
and Dong Ngo and I said, "Your family must have a good gene pool." And what I truly meant was "Yes, your sister has a good knowledge but you're based on good wisdom."
I'd like to congratulate Dr. Grace Park's family where her daughter just received Chancellor's Award at UCLA. Watching her devoting
their life for other students but then her herself had a concern for other students and our community. And then she received an award from UCLA
in her graduating class. Everything happens because we shared wisdom. So thank you Chino Valley.
Our adults are actively involved. Our grandparents are actively involved. Our staff are actively involved. Not just transforming our students with knowledge but also
building them with wisdom. And that would go lifelong way. Thank you so much. >> Thank you, Mr. Na. And we have Mr. Cruz. Wait, Mike.
And it's on. >> Okay. Yes, um as for um I think her name was William. You know, you the passionate of her protecting her child, we we have to defend if that was the case that happened.
And having cameras like what Mr. Mr. Smith has stated, it is a good idea. Definitely a good idea. So that's something that we should think about. Yeah. You know, I'd like to um And this has been on my mind for a
while, so I just want to share this with you, with the parents, the few few of you that are watching. So I'll just share this with you. And that is um um Ebola, Hanta, and um Marburg,
and COVID and the coronavirus viruses, they are RNA single stranded viruses. And um one way to disrupt them is to use zinc. Zinc disrupts
the elongation of of the RNA being created. And one way to increase more zinc into the cell is to um use hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, or quercetin.
So, that's something that I'm sharing with you because, you know, you don't hear this in the media of alternative treatments and so forth. So, that's something that you you could do your research and have that back of your mind if if there ever
is a pandemic that occurs. Also, I just want to state this again, RFK quote, "Not one of those 72 vaccines has ever had pre-licensing safety against a placebo. No routine injected vaccines on CDC schedule was licensed
for children based on placebo-controlled trial." And that is that came from our US Secretary of Health and Human Services. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Mr. Cervantes makes on >> Good evening, everybody, and thank you
again for being here during the summer. Beautiful outside and you guys could be anywhere, but you're here, so I appreciate speakers all your comments and uh may not agree with everything, you know, but again, we appreciate your feedback and also the fact that we are trying to find uh
things to agree on. And some of those things to agree on are these things. You know, right now our teachers are on break and they they they need their well-deserved time off because when they're in that classroom they're grinding. No one knows how hard they're working unless you did that job and they work hard.
And so, please enjoy your time. Take it Take it and go somewhere and enjoy your families. But you know, the superintendent and his team, the cabinet, support staff around our schools, they're working hard grinding to make sure that we're getting ready for the uh next school year.
So, those things that we can agree on are these. Number one, let's be the best in education. Let's work on being the best in reading, writing, math, and you know, let's let's give our kids some options besides uh you know, college because not everybody's going to go to college. So, the trades are important.
You know, running a positive budget is not easy. If you think about it, please look around. Like we hear a lot of things, you know, and can we always do better? Absolutely. We shoot for We're never going to settle for mediocrity. So, we're always grinding and looking how we could do better. But our team up here does a fantastic job. We have Ms.
Chandler does a fantastic job understanding the numbers. When I looked at that stuff, you guys, I'm I'm looking at this stuff and my goodness, you know, I was telling Dr. Enfield, I got a headache. I had to put it down and like it it's tough, you know. So, when she breaks it down, like she did today so eloquently, and just making the numbers make sense,
and that's not easy to do. It takes time. It takes It takes some wisdom and discernment and planning. And so, they do a good job. And one of the things that we're going to do up here and you know, I want you to know this from the bottom of my heart. We always want to make sure we have the best pay, uh benefits, and working conditions.
Those things are important because that makes your family whole. And if your family's whole, you're you're a better productive citizen in our society. You're coming home. You're being a better parent. You're being a better husband, father, a provider. And we want that for you in this community, in this district. So,
just know that. So, we're fighting for those things. I I believe we can all agree on that. We want to be the best we can be so we can uh fire on all cylinders. So, appreciate every one of you here. And again, I want to congratulate
Lucius, Johnny, and Aaron again for the their track stars, right? Look at the things they accomplished. And it's not easy to do. You can see some get injured during this because they work so hard and they don't quit. And neither we do do we up here, so remember that. Uh again, some of the things coming up
next week, next Friday, the 26th and 27th, the fireworks spectacular again celebrating 250 years at Yolo Park Friday from 4:00 to 10:00 and Saturday from 1:00 to 10:00. Get out there, get your families out there, enjoy the summer, and the fellowship and
networking together out here. So, again, thank you so much. >> Thank you, Mr. Mr. [clears throat] Cervantes. Dr. Ingram? >> No comments tonight. >> Thank you. And I'll keep mine short. I love this quote from Abraham Lincoln. He said,
"The philosophy of one schoolroom is the generation and the one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." And that is so important why we have great teachers, great staff doing what they do to make sure that our students are set up for success. Um we I
also attended um Amanda's memorial, which was super hard cuz, you know, Amanda was one that was trying to bring people together and it's disheartening to see people in the community use someone's death for their benefit. It's absolutely disgusting and diabolical and
should never be done. But, we're going to continue to celebrate and pray that the seeds that, you know, she was able to plant will continue to grow in our community. It's been a blessing to have her presence, and I will say that over and over, and I want to thank Nicole um Locurcio, who was the security at Chino,
so it was near and dear to her. And then, because Mr. Smith was working on behalf of him, Jenny and I and Nicole um attended that together, and it was surely just an honor to be there and celebrate and meet his family and her family first on. So,
our heart goes out and we'll close the regular or we'll adjourn the regular Board of Education in honor of Amanda at 6:50 p.m.
