A conference with legal counsel pending litigation pursuant to government code section 54956.9D1. Uh Bautista VLAUSD, Milton VAUSD, Jane Doe VLAUSD, and K VLAUSD.
All of these cases are available on our website if you wanted to look them up on the LA Superior Court website. Um the case numbers are listed there. I just don't read them out here because it takes a lot of time, but they're in the they're in the order of business and easily accessible online. There will be one case heard under anticipated litigation pursuant to government code
section 54956.9D4. Under tab 4, conference with labor negotiators pursuant to government code section 54957.6. The negotiator is Dr. Murphy and the employee organizations are Associated Administrators of Los Angeles, Teamsters 2010, California School Employees
Association, Los Angeles County Building and Construction Trades Council, Los Angeles School Police Association, Los Angeles School Police Management Association, Service Employees International Union, SEIU Local 99, Teamsters, United Teachers Los Angeles, and District
Represented Employees and Contract Management Personnel for unrepresented employees, negotiators, Miss Nava Reed for the district and general superintendent of schools will be under there. Okay. Now we take public comment. Uh the comments are arranged such that
when you sign up for an item specific comment, you restrain your comments to that particular item and then there's general public comment which follows it which can be directed at any business that the district has anything to do with. So anything anything related to district business. All right. Right. Under tab one student
discipline matters we have G I can't Ghana K. I can't pronounce the last name. It's Ghana K here also signed up yesterday. All right let's go to tab three. We have
one person signed up. That's Mr. David Tokovski. valuation as well as litigation as well as collective bargaining. I'd like to say that as you go into uh closed on the settlement with respect to um the COVID
um uh t uh problems of learning that you make sure that the tutoring records come out in public. We we don't know how each of these tutoring companies are doing and what the effect pre and post are uh for their improvement. Number two, when you do evaluation, um it it's good, but
I don't see the IAU uh being evaluated. That's one of your direct reports. And it's interesting that you don't evaluate um directly u your legal counsel. Um legal counsel has a very difficult role to represent the institution, but also works for the superintendent and works
for the board. and the board essentially has the general counsel as your employee. So that would be interesting. Whereas you also have two other lawyers that work for you, Mr. McClean and the inspector general or lawyers. So I would make sure that you uh explicitly as you
do the evaluation include the IAU, include the general counsel and make sure as you finalize the contract with the superintendent that you have uh your own direct independent legal advice to make sure all the ingredients are done well. Finally, um, on the budget and the
collective bargaining, the offer out there is 2%. Again, it would be wise to say, okay, what do we have to change? Uh, what revenue do we need or what cuts do we make to make sure every year we have like a three or 4% pay raise uh, opportunity. The state only gave a 2%
cola, but we didn't fight in any way with our labor partners to get a larger cola whatsoever. There's no evidence. Finally, for the record and for the state, I want to make sure that there was an error of gross proportions yesterday on items two and 30. I was prevented from speaking on item two even
though the vote had not finished. The item 30 was about Williams, which is the parents and public's right to do textbooks, teachers, and facilities shortcomings. Item two is simply textbook. It is not Item two is not Williams. I item two is just textbook.
and any school that does not have all of its textbooks and all its core subjects should be able to file a complaint immediately. Thank you. >> Thank you for your time. All right. Now, we go on to general public comment. We have 17 speakers signed up. As is usual, I'll call on the folks who listed
themselves being in person and then we'll call on the folks who listed themselves as speaking remotely. And the first person is Laya Bak. Are you here? And then after Laya is Bridey Lee. If I've mispronounced anyone's name, feel free to let me know. Thank you. And
you'll have two minutes to speak. >> Hi. Uh, I'm Leela Bay, founder of Schools Beyond Screens, and I want to clear up a misconception. We are not trying to take away everyone's computers. As a matter of fact, one of the most common complaints we hear from the parents and teachers in our group is that kids are graduating high school
without even the most basic computer skills despite being parked on screens all day during class. Board member Grigo, I know you've raised this concern as well. The district seems to believe that kids can pick up computer literacy by osmosis because Gen Alpha are digital natives. But just because they know how
to scroll Tik Tok or evade the network blocks designed to keep them from accessing porn on schoolisssued devices, that doesn't mean they're developing the skills they need to succeed in college or the workplace. To paraphrase the neuroscientist and educator Jared Cooney
Horvath, we shouldn't confuse what we're teaching with how we're teaching it. Most people think kids should learn table manners, but that doesn't mean we should hold algebra class in a restaurant. My own boys attend two very different LA USD schools. At Third Street Elementary,
with its affluent and engaged parent community, where I serve on the board of Friends of Third, the students receive highquality computer classes from a wellrespected vendor in a dedicated tech lab. The school's Chromebooks are otherwise kept on carts and used judiciously.
Meanwhile, at nearby John Burroughs Middle, the title one school with a majority minority population which my older child attends, the students receive zero formal computer training beyond whatever their overburdened teachers managed to squeeze into their
existing curriculum. Yet, the students are on iPads all day, often just to play Fortnite. This is the very definition of an equity issue. Kids from fortunate backgrounds learn to use digital tools while less advantaged kids are used by them. Their focus destroyed by the
infinite distraction of the internet, their data harvested and sold by greedy tech companies. And for what? So the district can save face by not admitting that the status quo isn't working. That maybe this grand social experiment we've been running on our kids' brains is a failure.
>> Thank you for your time. We appreciate your time. Okay, Bridey Lee, come on up. And after Miss Lee is uh Aaron Craig and then Laura Gersonhorn. You have two minutes to speak. Thank you. >> On August 5th, I proposed that LUSD
students shouldn't have access to violent, sexually suggestive, inappropriate, and non-educational YouTube content during class time. I asked why parents are being told to consent to a big tech company exposing children to distracting and harmful content when they are supposed to be
learning. On August 26th, I proposed that instead of holding children responsible for avoiding the numerous threats on schoolisssued devices, the adults in charge of creating and distributing this technology should take responsibility for providing child-safe
educational computers and software. On September 9th, I proposed in the wake of plummeting math and reading scores nationwide that LUSD research any tech curricula independent of corporate interests who don't believe in public schools or even human teachers before
implementing unproven technology and tech enabled teaching method methods in classrooms. I'm left asking, do you agree? Do you agree that LUSD should prioritize the education, mental health, and safety of its students over the unethical business practices of big tech
companies? Do you agree that LUSD should only implement evidence-based curriculum? Do you agree that LUSD should not expect miners to take on all the responsibility when tech companies fail to provide products that are safe, effective, and legal? Do you agree that LUSD students shouldn't have any access
to any harmful non-educational material during class and on their schoolisssued devices? Do you agree that positive student outcomes matter more than maintaining the status quo? Last week when the LUSD CIO was asked about blocking YouTube, he said that's the
easiest part. I have to agree. Today, I propose that we have the power to make meaningful change, stand up for the interests of kids over corporations, and rise with the cultural tide of parents and educators who know students deserve so much better than this. I hope you
agree. Thank you. >> Thank you for your time, uh, Erin Craig, and then Laura Gersinhorn. Come on up, Mr. Craig. You'll have two minutes to speak. Why don't you begin? >> Morning. Blackbod 2020, Illuminate Education
2022, Vice Society ransomware attack 2022, and Cooko Solutions in 2025. His name should be familiar to most of you. Four major security breaches in the past 5 years. Breaches that exposed the private data of millions of childrens to the dark web. Social security numbers,
names, and addresses, and more. The kind of data that exposes people to identity theft and credit card fraud. And the people in this case are young children as young as kindergarten age. These kids will have to be vigilant against having their digital identities stolen for the rest of their lives. I'm not pointing
fingers. Cyber security is really hard and data protection, it's really, really, really hard to get right. I know I've been in the tech industry for over 20 years, and it's clear to me that the people entrusted with our children's private data either lack the knowhow or worse,
the desire to protect it. My name is Aaron Craig and I'm with Schools Beyond Screens and we've had a lot to say in the past couple of months about the dangers of tech in classrooms. I've been before this board before pleading for information on how my kids data is gathered, stored, and used
precisely because I don't trust the district to keep it safe. And these breaches tell me that I'm right to be concerned. Now, I've heard the word equity used a lot in these discussions. The term gets thrown around on the regular as this if to say that if we give kids tag that
somehow automatically that makes things equitable. But underprivileged kids suffer more than anyone when criminals have access to their private data. I'm in the fortunate position I can pay for data monitoring and credit freezes and the whole rest of it for my seven-year-old daughter, as ridiculous as it sounds that I would have to do
that for the rest of her life. But can a single parent perhaps working two jobs just to keep a roof over her family's heads do the same? The risks here are real and the harms can last a lifetime. And I'm heartened by the recent connection we've made with members of the board and the administration and I look forward to
working together to keep our kids safe. Thank you. >> Thank you for your time. >> Laura Gersinhorn, come on up. And then after Miss G is Todd Grabarski. You have two minutes to speak. Why don't you begin? >> Good morning. My name is Laura
Gersinhorn and I am the parent of a first grader at an LA USD magnet that's also a title one school. I am also a former middle school teacher. I believe it is developmentally inappropriate and harmful for elementary age students to have their own
schoolisssued devices. Every second a child spends using a device at school is a moment that they are not learning how to talk to each other, how to listen to each other, or how to observe their own thoughts. I am here to share some anecdotal experience of my son being issued a one-to-one school iPad as a
kindergartener. My 5-year-old, who had no prior behavioral issues, started getting in trouble at school when using his iPad. Instead of staying on the assigned app, he would explore, searching terms in the search box and finding results on the internet. When I talked to him about it,
my 5-year-old son said, "I don't know why, Mom. I can follow my teacher's directions on paper, just not on the screen. Kindergarteners are only just learning how to comport themselves in a classroom setting and emotionally regulate without the added challenge of screens. We are
setting our children up for failure. Moreover, this device is damaging my relationship with my son in a real way. My son and I get into arguments, both of us crying when I say he can't use his iPad at home, as is our family's policy. I have no problem setting meaningful
boundaries for my children. But to have to set these boundaries because the institution that we so want to trust is imposing corporate sponsored gamified technology onto our children and sending it into our homes is wrong. It is not only unnecessary but an insidious
overreach. I do not place blame on my child's teacher or the school, but I do blame a school district that pushes these devices into the hands of 5-year-olds, mandating their use without clear guard rails or oversight. Thank you.
>> Thank you for your time, Todd Grabbski. Todd G, come on up. And then uh after Todd is Carol Lande, please go ahead. Hello, my name is Todd Grabbarski and I'm a parent of a first
grader at Rockdale Elementary in Northeast Los Angeles. Although my wife and I were fearful about the screen usage in his classroom, we had hoped that LUSD would set reasonable limits and guidelines for schoolisssued devices as well as provide parents with clear and transparent information about
in-class tech use. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Much to our shock, the the settings on my son's schoolisssued iPad were blocked by the LA USD administrator, preventing my wife and I from reviewing his screen time usage. And this lack of transparency extends
even more broadly. The district has not provided independent studies demonstrating the efficacy of screenbased learning over traditional methods. Indeed, the edtech apps promote the gamification of learning which hits students with inapp dopamine-based rewards such as tokens or animations
after they perform microtasks on the app. This flies in the face of everything we as a society know about the way children learn by fostering their intrinsic motivation rather than promising external rewards. Furthermore, there is a startling lack of
restrictions on tech use in class, such as time limits. something as simple as that or rules about whether children may be able to watch video advertisements for profits made by for-profit companies for products made by for-profit companies. In addition, the district
seems to be unaware or willfully blind to the fact that students are easily able to circumvent the minimal security protections to spend hours of the school day playing Minecraft or Roblox or watching YouTube or Vimeo videos or just surfing the open open internet on their
schoolisssued devices. Schools and parents are also confused about what tech usage or apps, for example, I Ready are actually mandated or required by the school district. And finally, the district has not provided information about whether and how parents may opt out of in-class tech
usage and how their children will be accommodated so that they can give their informed consent about tech use in their children's classrooms. If I'm wrong about any of these points, I humbly welcome the district to provide information correcting me and demonstrating the reasonable limits and protections of these powerful tech
tools. >> Thank you for your time. >> Uh I apologize. Carol's not next. Uh John Wooden is next. John W. Then after Mr. Wooden is Caroline Verde and Monica Razola and Diana Guen.
Hello, I'm John Allen Wooden and I'm with Schools Beyond Screens. I've come to respond to alarming remarks made by Superintendent Carvalo at last week's board meeting. defending edte screens and classrooms. The superintendent
boasted, "We are able to track very accurately our students usage." He then invoked data revealing a daily average of 7 to 8 hours of at-ome screen time on districtissued devices. He expressed
zero remorse for disrupting famil family's lives with these addictive devices or the district's egregious violation of children's pol privacy by tracking them in their own homes. Carvalo went on to equate web connected devices with airplane seatback
televisions opining what's really the difference between that TV screen and a computer. That is the most laughably tech ignorant remark since US Senator Ted Stevens called the internet a series of tubes. The superintendent blindly
dismissed overwhelming scientific evidence that screen time is harmful to all children as a position of newly informed privilege. Worse, he played the intellectually dishonest equity card, declaring of edtech screens, "Let's make
sure that some of the kids that never had it at least have access to it." That's like saying a child who just started working at a coal mine can't enjoy equity until they've succumbed to black lung. Indeed, the superintendent has outed himself as so computer
illiterate he is not competent to distinguish between useful electronic tools and harmful educational snake oil. Carvalo must recuse himself from any decisions on edtech. Screenbased learning is a cancer on our children's
intellects and districts worldwide are wisely reversing course on this failed disastrous experiment. LUSD must follow suit. In closing, know that schools beyond Screen is growing by the day and we have not yet begun to fight on this
matter. >> Thank you for your time. >> All right, Carol Verde, >> come on up and then uh >> Okay, Miss Londie is going to speak in Spanish. So, if you'd like to hear what she's saying in English as she's as she's speaking in Spanish, please put on
these translation headsets. Good morning to all. Thank you for allowing me uh first and foremost to God for allowing me to be here. Thank you for watching over our children. Thank you, Superintendent. I am here for the same thing. They gave me a card, Miss
Carla Grigo, and they waited for me outside. My son hasn't gone to school. I feel a little desperate because I'm a mother that always sends her child to school and he never missed and he was never there late except when when he had
that incident and when he had that incident at school here and the only thing that was lacking I was I haven't seen the solution. I was just texting you. I was going to text you and they tell me when he's not there, but they
don't tell me the resolution of the case. I'm trying to move forward and contact hire and hire people. If I need to knock at Donald Trump's door, I will do so.
Again, I'm desperate. I'm uh because my son has been at the district for since kinder and he has a high pot. He has a potential even though he has a capacity. I'm teaching him at at home. But I just want to tell you to look at Thomas Alba
Edison. Look at his case. He was a he was special needs students that didn't allow the mom to go in. And honestly, my son doesn't have the mental pro those mental problems, but they are damaging me.
I was with the health plan for my son at the hospital and the doctor said that this case needs to be resolved at the district. She only makes the school orders. We can't. She said we can't give in because the district is
the one who has the authority. Uh Mr. Superintendent, with all respect, I ask for your help, Miss Carla Grigo. And everyone who can help me, please. At this moment, I am I'm upset. I'll be honest with you. I've been come I'm angry, but I've never yelled at the
principal. I've only felt frustrated because I'm a single mom. >> Thank you very much for your time. >> And I've also studied at universities and I feel frustrated. Please help me. I appreciate I would appreciate. >> Come on up. Missola is going to speak in Spanish. So, if you'd like to hear what
she's saying in English, please put your hands up and we'll get you a translation headset. >> Okay. Gracias. >> Wenos. Good morning. My name is Monica Gra, mother of two students of the district.
And I am here to ask Miss Carla Grigo. Even my school is the one that's uh that pertains to you. My school is Hollywood High School. What I'm worried about uh the school is that children get there at 7:50 in
the morning or 15. I apologize. No one is monitoring them. And Safe Passages uh employees uh are there at 7:45. They're not monitoring children. And I've taken pictures. I've taken pictures because that's my area. And they're using their phone. They're just busy. They're
talking. The someone's on the mirror looking at herself in the mirror and they're not paying attention. Uh the personnel that's at the parking, we've seen a lot of drugs being sold. He's also sitting at the table with his phone. There are funds, these funds are being wasted and these are funds that
are not being used in something productive. And I also want to ask you all, I want to do a survey of parents that want their kids to be there at 7:30 in the morning because 8:30 is too late. And I believe we're uh making our
children lazy. Besides technology, they're there 100%. Children are not focused academically. They're using the com computer more and they're not allowing them to think and I believe that we they need to go back to paper and pencil. We need them to use that.
They need to use their brain that way because the computer is giving them their words and it's not forcing them to write something. It is something important and this is a worry I have uh towards the school. Therefore, my school Hollywood since 7:00 they're monitoring
kids. They're entering sports. they they start banned and these kids are active since 7:00 in the morning. That's why I would like you to do a survey of the parents that would like students to be there at 7:30. Thank you. >> Thank you for your time. Dian Guen, Miss
Gen is going to speak in Spanish. So, if you'd like to hear what she's saying in English, please keep those headsets on or request one if you need one. Buenos Diaz. >> Good morning. My name is Diana Guen and in this occasion, I would like the board
to consider what these parents are asking in regards to technology. It's a very worrisome situation. And I'm not saying not to use them, but it is very important for you to consider this and for us to have a conversation, an adult conversation. We are people that want
our children to progress. And one of the things I want to talk about is the case about Miss Landa Verva because I've been going with her. We have been talking to the principal. I went to the IEP and honestly what Miss Jedha Turner uh she's the one
who gave her the response. She didn't tell her what type of or what part of the district or what part of the policy from the district is asking that she can't go into the school when they're putting the insulin to her child or when
they're administering it. And they're telling a parent, they're telling her that she needs to supervise the that they that she wants to supervise the nurse, but that's not it. She's just making sure that the treatment is added to her child adequately. They've called
her from the school because she her sugar the child's sugar is 300 400 500 and you know very well what that means. Mr. Dear Royo the last time that we came here we spoke she spoke and there was supposed to be a followup that we know nothing about him. We called him on the
phone he doesn't answer. Therefore what is the work that we're doing? We want a person that is really doing giving a follow-up to this case because you always say well let's put children first. Well this child is here. let's resolve it so he can go back to school and for her to feel comfortable knowing
that her child is being treated with respect and dignity and something that has to do with his medical problem. What person prevents a parent from coming in and I would be upset as well. Of course, I would be upset if they wouldn't allow me to enter to see how they're
administering the child's treatment. This principal has said that his privacy, his rights of privacy have been violated because there have been other children when he's getting the treatment. That's something he declared in the IEP, but they didn't write it down. Therefore, Miss Carman Aendo
didn't want to add those notes in the IEP. Therefore, I please ask for this to be resolved in a better way. Thank you. >> Thank you. The rest of the folks listed as giving public comment are remote. I'll begin calling them on now. Miss Ana
Oh, you're listed as calling in. My apologies. And there you are. Let me make a note here to correct that to in person. All right. Please go ahead, Miss M Ortiz.
>> Okay. >> Good morning to all. My name is Maria Dei Ortiz and honestly I want to say that the negotiation closed dooror negotiation is an embarrassment because if you will be evaluating the
superintendent I believe those are paid by public funds and we as parents and the community and everyone who pays their taxes has the right to know what the categories are the categories that you're evaluating the superintendent on.
I asked the superintendent to make an executive action and and look at the worry that the parents are giving because the f your funds are divided in four parts. 25% is to see the
if the parents committee is working and the parent involvement. The other 25% of course parents person administrative personnel right and the other 25% well with the board of education and the
other 25% with organizations. I know that that sometimes it's difficult to do but when there is transparency there is excellence. Now in regards to the intervention what are the categories that you're evaluating the superintendent on? I want
to thank you that this year you will implement the identification, the early identification and also the trainings that you are giving the teachers in the RD R RDS
or the 95 practice. you have 180 so interventionist and honestly there are details that need to be refined because how do we read the RDS the way we read it it is very important for us parents to know and
this hasn't been accomplished even though you say you do webinars but it hasn't reached the parents they need there needs to be a comprehension to be able to help children remember that children has two teachers one at home and one in classroom they both need to be trained Thank you and have a great
day. >> Thank you for your time. Okay, Anya Mex, I see you're online. Anya Mex, please press star six to unmute yourself and you'll have two minutes to speak once you begin. Anya, you're with us. Anya, please press star
six to unmute yourself. Okay, we're going to move on to the next caller. turn to Miss Maxon in a moment. Matt Reley, I see you're on the line. Matt Reley, please press star six to unmute yourself and you'll have two minutes to speak once you begin. Matt Reley,
>> sorry. Can you hear me? Good morning. >> Yes, sir, we can hear you. Please go ahead. You have two minutes. >> Thank you. Um Matt Rayley from Broadway Elementary School. Uh thank you for uh the opportunity to speak. Uh this morning I'm going to speak a little bit
about a question I was asked the other day which is why do these Broadway parents keep showing up and what's our endgame? Well, that really comes down to the manner immersion program being treated equitably. We want to be on the
same playing field as the other immersion programs, specifically the Spanish immersion program within this district. What does that mean? That means making sure that we have the same types of resources. Means having a curriculum,
having testing, having a home. Our school is the at least the management program is the largest single man uh immersion program within the entire district. It's highly successful. It's one that really is a beacon to this
district and this district is not putting the adequate amount of resources into making sure that the the success continues. We have curriculum that is very very old more than 15 years. We don't have standardized testing. We
share our home with another immersion program which sounds great but the needs of the programs are very very different. I want the district to talk to seriously with the programs and figure out what
the future looks like and whether or not this really all makes sense to keep all these programs together. The district also does a lot with trying to create a measure in programs but then not supporting them. They spread their resources thin across many many schools
across the entire district. What would be a better strategy is to give immersion programs homes in specific schools so that then those schools can focus on those languages and focus on building a very strong program that
people are attracted to. >> Thank you for your time, sir. >> Why can't we get this? >> Thank you for your time, sir. We appreciate your time. Cynthia Cow, are you on the line? Cynthia K, please press star six to unmute yourself. And you'll have two minutes to speak once you begin. and Cynthia K.
>> Hello. Can you guys hear me? >> Please go ahead. >> Okay. Good morning. My name is Cynthia Cow. I'm a parent of Broadway Elementary. I'm asking today that the board address important leadership concerns at the office of the general counsel. The general counsel's primary duty is to protect LOC and ensure
compliance. Yet, under current leadership, this office has not only failed to prevent legal challenges, it's actively created them. First, constitutional violations. OGC promaggated a social media policy so blatantly unconstitutional that the ACLU wrote directly to the general counsel
demanding corrections. This isn't protecting the district, inviting costly litigation and negative press. Second, educational neglect. OC has failed to respond to or even acknowledge Williams complaints filed over a month ago by parents at Broadway Elementary and Mark Twain Middle School regarding deficient
Mandarin immersion curriculum. The OGC silence reveals an office disconnected from students fundamental educational rights and its responsibilities to correct for them. Third, transparency failures. Numerous public records requests act requests go unanswered or deliberately delayed for months, even
years. This creates an adversarial environment, eroding public trust and forcing everyone into litigation just to access basic information. The financial cost is staggering. Every preventable lawsuit, every delayed PR response that escalates litigation, every settlement for proactively manageable issues
directly drains classroom resources. We're spending taxpayer money defending legal battles that the OGC itself has created. This office is charged with ensuring equity, yet how can it do so when its actions create inequity by siphoning funds from children toward legal fees and outside counsel. I ask
this board to investigate what is happening at the office of general counsel. Our students deserve leadership that protects resources for education, not squanders them on avoidable legal battles. Thank you. >> Thank you for your time. Karina Lopez is signed up to speak remotely, but I don't have her signed in. Is Karina Lopez in
the room? No. Marcela Garcia, are you in the room? You're signed up to speak remotely, but you are also not signed in at the time. No, Marcella. And then we have concerned parent signed up to speak remotely.
I do see concerned parents but I do not see someone identified as concerned parent uh in the room. So now I'll return to Ana Mexen. Anaexon please press star six to unmute yourself and you'll have two minutes to speak once you begin. We're returning to you Miss Mexen. Anna Mexen.
Anya. Okay. Unfortunately, we have to move on. Uh, Miss Mixon hasn't p pushed the unmute button. Uh, so this concludes the general public comment. The board is now going to recess into close session. The time is 10:51 a.m. Thank you everyone.
I'll be back to report out the items when they are done. I uh assume you're all here for public comment. Okay, welcome back. The time is now 4:04 p.m. on September 17th. We are now going to report out on actions taken at the
closed session. I will take role. Miss Newell >> present. >> Dr. Rivas >> present. >> Mr. Melo >> here. >> Miss Grigo >> here. >> Miss Gomez, Miss Franklin, and board president Schmelson >> present. Okay, we have a quorum.
Okay, reporting out language for tab 1 student disciplines. The board of education approved the expulsion of students in case numbers 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 with the recommended dispositions. The board of education denied the enrollment of students in case numbers
001A, 002A, and 004A with the recommended dispositions. The vote in both matters, all those matters is seven eyes. The board of education approved the conditional enrollment of the student in case number 005A with a recommended disposition. The vote
was six eyes with one no. Mr. Smurlson, the board of education approved the conditional enrollment of a student in case number 003A with the recommended disposition. The vote was seven eyes. Under tab three,
>> under tab three, conference with legal council, the board of education authorized a settlement in the case of Bautista va USD. Uh the vote was six eyes, one absent. Miss Gomez, the board of education authorized a settlement in the case of Milton va USD.
The vote was seven eyes. And the board of education authorized a settlement in the case of Jane Doe v LUSD. The vote was six eyes and one absent, Miss Gomez. And then under tab two, public employee discipline dismissal and release, the board of education authorized the
dismissal of two certificated employees. The vote was seven eyes. Under tab two, personnel public employment, the board of education voted to reappoint Alberto Carvalo as superintendent of schools for
four years with term ending February 13, 2030. terms and conditions. Terms and conditions uh will be disclosed upon finalization and prior to ratification of the contract and open
session on October 14th, 2025. The vote was unanimous. [Applause] That is all I have to report out. >> Well, may I, Mr. President? >> You may. >> Uh, just a couple brief comments. Even
though uh our board secretary uh just uh just mentioned that terms and conditions would be announced in the future, I want to be very clear. Um, I think there are many people in the room uh right here, right now and many more across the
10,000 schools in our great district. Principles, teachers, support staff, individuals of many ranks and many responsibilities who show up every single day not for the paycheck but out of devotion
for this noble cause that we call public education. So, I want to be very clear with this board and this community that there's nothing to negotiate. I'm not seeking nor will I accept a salary increase as
part of my compensation or additional benefits. My contract is what my contract is and the most important contract I have is with a beautiful community of Los Angeles, our staff, our students, and our families.
There is hardship in the future and the best way to lead is to lead from the front with full awareness of the sacrifice that lies ahead and the contribution that each one of us can individually make. This is my journey
and I want to thank the board for your trust, your confidence and for your valor and courage in doing right by our community through the service that we collectively provide. Thank you very much. And if uh there are no objections, the
meeting can adjourn. It can >> Okay, no objections. The time is now 4:08.
