PUBLIC COMMENTS Trustee Bagdasaryan reported that there were three blue cards (individuals requesting to speak to the Board) received.

At this point in the meeting visitors and employee organizations may address items that are NOT on the agenda. • Elena Johnson – spoke against the proposal of a new bond measure. • Joe Piechowski – spoke against the proposal of a new bond measure. • Dr. Bagdasaryan called a blue card with no name – no one responded. EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS • Mr. Richard Rubino, President of the CSEA, shared the following statement: “I am here this evening to make mention of Annette Graue. She is the Librarian at Sycamores Elementary. I would like the board to know what a fine example of dedicated classified employee she is. In two occasions, she has relocated the library at the school from original P1 to room 21 and finally at room 37. This required a lot of time spent on her own, sometimes with family helping. Since the last few years, with the student 1-1 devices, more tasks have been assigned without additional hours. As an example: assigning the student devices, exchange the device, and logging work orders. At times doing basic trouble shooting and help setting kids with the device. This can be said about all our elementary school libraries. This is in addition to her regular librarian’s duties. All at 12.5 hours per week. Her library is a fine example of how all our elementary libraries should function and look like. These elementary school libraries are the cornerstone to help our student test scores. To be honest, more hours are needed at these libraries to keep up with these tasks. Thank you very much.” STUDENT BOARD REPORT The Student Representative Board Report was presented by Ruthvi Malpani from Santa Susana High School: “Good evening President Bagdasaryan, Clerk of the Board Labelle, Trustees Jubran, Pine, and Smollen … and Superintendent Dr. Youssef. My name is Ruthvi Malpani, and tonight I’m representing Santa Susana High School. I’m honored to share the Board Report on behalf of my peers across the district. Kaden Lindeen of Apollo reports today was the last day of the first quarter at Apollo, and 8 students graduated! Apollo will welcome 19 new students on Thursday when they start their second quarter. Congratulations, graduates! As a wrap up to their "launch plan" during the week of September 18th, Apollo seniors were given the opportunity to learn about various post-secondary options during "Senior SOAR" week. Throughout the week, presenters from Moorpark College, Oxnard College Auto Technology Program, local military recruiters, and Simi Institute for Careers and Education showed up to inspire, inform, and educate their future graduates about the various programs and career opportunities that are offered on their campuses. In addition to these great presentations, ALL students completed their Moorpark College applications so that if they choose this path, it is already in place upon graduation. Special thanks to their counselor, Maria Sprowl, for making this experience possible for their students! Congratulations to Ricardo Bueno, Apollo's Student of the Month for September! Ricardo has earned 108.5 credits since enrolling at Apollo, while maintaining excellent attendance. Ricardo is on track to graduate with his class in June! Way to go, Ricardo, we are so proud of you! Christian Zurita Benitez at Monte Vista reports Monte Vista has entered October and we are getting ready for Halloween! Posters are being hung outside of the classroom for

4 upcoming events such as our Scary Movie Night, dress up days, and trick or treat events. Inside of the classroom 9th-11th grade students are getting ready to take the PSAT test on October 26. Robotics and Electronics Labs have been established and are seeing many new members. Elementary Fun Math Lab is becoming a big hit with our younger students, and Peer Tutoring continues to grow as new volunteers arrive. Isabella Russell of Royal High School reports it has been a busy month here at Royal and we are so proud of what we've accomplished. We continue to have visitors from different colleges talk to our students at lunch and we've held more college application workshops. Our fall sports teams are nearing the end of their seasons, many who will continue into the playoffs, including the Royal Girls Volleyball team who are now league champions! We had a huge week with our “Magic Kingdom” themed homecoming. Our rally was unlike any other and included the band, drama department, athletes, and much more. At the football game we announced our Highlander Royalty and on Saturday we had 1100 students in attendance at the homecoming dance! That same day, we held the Royal Marching Band Classic where our Highlander Brigade received high scores and great recognition. Construction has finally ended in our new quad areas and we held a grand opening to celebrate the beautiful additions to our campus on Monday the 9th. We are looking forward to a great fall. Emma Flynn of Simi Valley High School reports Simi high has had a very busy month. On September 29th we kicked off a weekend of Homecoming fun starting off with our annual rally. The homecoming rally featured all fall sports as well as performances from cheer, band and dance team. We had a great homecoming game with a halftime show celebrating the class of 1973 and crowning our homecoming winners. The football game ended in a thrilling win 28-27 over Westlake. We also recently celebrated walk to school day on October 4th with our band, cheer team and leadership class supporting local elementary schools. On September 22nd our leadership class brought back senior sunrise. A free event with around 200 seniors in attendance that was sponsored by our Football boosters. The first student senate meeting took place a few weeks ago with close to 90 students nominated by their advisory teachers and participating in conversations such as engagement and school safety. The second meeting is scheduled for November 2nd. This has proven to be a great opportunity to gain student voice already, and we can’t wait to see where this program goes. Simi High had a great couple of weeks and we are very excited to kick off the second quarter! Finally…At Santa Susana High School… September was an exciting month to say the least. To begin with, on September 14th, we had a showcase of films created by former SSHS filmstock students, with many current and alumni filmstock students attending the event! On September 22nd our talented vocal department hosted a “Boptember” choir show performing many pop music pieces such as Breathing, Everybody wants to rule the world, and Killing me Softly. On September 28th, our leadership class worked hard to put on our first rally of the year! We showcased our amazing Acapella Group, Abbe Road, Dance Collective, and our amazing MC’s Grace Kim & Nicole Kim did a phenomenal job engaging the audience’s attention and getting the crowd hyped up during a fun balloon popping game between the grades. Of course the seniors took the win on the first rally! On September 29th, our leadership class & sophomore class president, Chloe Asidera, hosted our “New Year’s Eve in New York City” themed homecoming dance. We were able to host over 75% of the student body, with an extremely fun, memorable, and safe night. Homecoming was a night filled with great music, a wonderful photobooth, delicious snacks, and most importantly LOTS of dancing. We are proud to say that we were able to keep our ticket prices affordable & inclusive for most students, between $15-$20, allowing everyone the opportunity to have a fun night despite their socioeconomic status. Last but not least, we are so proud of our four National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists and all of the hard work they put in to earn this phenomenal accomplishment: We gladly congratulate Tayten Han, Abhishek Jagannathan, Adrina George, & Meghna Behera.

5 Thank you again for allowing me the time to share about the great things happening across all of our high schools.” SUPERINTENDENT’S COMMENTS Dr. Youssef shared the following: “First, I would like to welcome our Student Board Representative, Ruthvi Malpani from Santa Susana HS, to tonight’s Student Board Report. Thank you Ruthvi for being here tonight. This is our 45th day of school and we continue to have a very successful school year. Parent- Teacher conferences are taking place this week at our elementary schools and the first quarter of the school year is coming to a close. There is so much to celebrate throughout Simi Valley Schools and celebrate is what we did last week as our schools hosted Grand Openings and ribbon cuttings. Royal HS celebrated the completion of two new quads, a new courtyard, and a multi-purpose room that supports the arts. Simi Valley HS celebrated the completion of their new beautiful quad and plaza. It was great to see so many student groups in attendance at both high schools (both cheer teams, both bands, the Royal JROTC, the Simi High choir, and of course the yummy sweets compliments of Royal’s culinary arts department. We also celebrated our two new inclusive playgrounds last week. The energy level was high at both Sycamore Elementary School and Garden Grove Elementary School during those ribbon cutting events. THANK YOU to everyone who made those new facilities a reality for our schools and students. In particular, THANK YOU to our community for supporting our Measure X Bond. So much has been made possible because of our community support and this bond. Another example of such amazing support is the Barn Crawl that was hosted last Saturday by our Education Foundation. Not only was it lots of fun, it was very successful. The proceeds go a long way to supporting our classrooms and educators at our school sites. We continue to plan for more exciting programs that will go a very long way to supporting current and future students for many years to come. Our families and community will start to see more and hear more about our Dual Language Immersion program that will be available in the fall of 2024 for TK and Kindergarten students. The potential for our students to become fluent in English and Spanish will be an option for our families starting next year with this program. We also continue to plan to transition all 6th grade programs to middle school starting next year as well. As we approach Halloween, we know there is a great deal of excitement that comes with dressing up, trick or treating, and attending various fun events. The most important thing is that everyone enjoys their Halloween experiences safely. Take care of one another, support one another, and if you see something or hear something, always remember to say something. Finally, don’t forget to come and visit our Simi Valley Schools booth at the Street Fair on Saturday, October 28th. We earned the 1st place prize for best booth last year and intend to defend that award this year. Finally, I would like to thank our students for being amazing learners and human beings. The vast majority of our students do the right things all the time even when no one is looking. Similarly, thank you to our staff members for your dedication and passion for our students and our schools. Students do not succeed accidentally and they don’t stumble on success. Students succeed when they have support from adults around them, from people around them. The more everyone works together to support all of our students, the more likely our students will succeed. When one person succeeds, we all succeed!” BOARD COMMUNICATION Trustee Jubran shared the following: • Thanked Ruthvi for the report. • Thanked the speakers for their thoughts and for taking the time to speak. • Visited Royal High School where he visited classrooms and their new Quad.
