I'm super excited to speak on behalf of my school today about what's been happening here at El Camino. Our student government class has been working hard on fundraising money for their classes and working hard on their homecoming floats with our overall theme being Greek mythology, the class has been working on preparing for our homecoming week, spirit week, rally, dance and our floats. We get to show up our floats during our homecoming game on Friday, October 21st with our homecoming dance following the next Saturday October 22nd. Our famous haunted house is the following week with our "Stranger Things" theme. We decorate our small gym and invite surrounding middle school student government classes to experience our haunted house. Our entry fee is $1 or two canned food since we partner with the KCRA for the canned food drive, our student government class is also taking on the role of putting on a dance at Ralph Richardson Center on December 16th. As for our drama class, we will be having our bye bye birdie play opening on October 27th and they will be having a total of six shows. Our choir is having an autumn themed concert on Wednesday. They performed at Evening with the Stars just last week. Our band is having their first concert of the year this Friday, we will be hosting our annual new all out dance band plans to perform at the rally and continue our homecoming traditions like banging on the lockers and playing in the hallways on the way to the rally. Two weeks ago we hosted our annual alumni night and also had the arcade band join us in the playing pep band for the Vista Del Lago game. Our EPI program, which is a sophomore through senior program where students are developing skills to prepare for majors such as architecture, manufacturing, engineering, and more. Juniors just completed building props for the drama set. Sophomores are beginning to work on their solar cars to compete at CRC. We have a new medical assisting program, a junior and senior program who's currently working on covering all medical assistant training before they go into their internships in January. On October 6th, they had CPR training all day to get their certifications. Every day they do something different including training, notes, practicing vitals and many procedures and presentations. They are working towards preparation for their internships at individual clinics for their CTE exams in May. We have our very own media program which is all about connecting the campus with the community through project based learning. Our studio student led radio station which can be listened to at KYDS 91.5 FM is having our winter 24 hour audiothon on December 2nd. Our school newspaper gathers information and distributes it to students and surrounding communities and businesses. This year they are doubling their amount of to 2000. Our ceramics classes are currently working on glazing their coil pots and our painting and drawing class is currently working on painting and drawing using oil pastels. The students and staff at El Camino have been doing well. We are full of Eagle Pride and Spirit. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to speak to you all today. I would love to answer any questions that the board may have and go Eagles. Thank you. - Any questions or comments from the board? Yes, Mr. Hernandez. - Thank you very much for the presentation. I really enjoyed every aspect of it and all of the engagement and all the activities happening, but one thing that really stood out to me from your report that was different from other reports that we've heard is how much interaction you all are having with other sites. And I just thought that was really neat and I'd love to hear a little bit more if you have more details but really just wanted to commend you both the Ralph Richardson dance. I'm not sure if that's happened before, if it has, it's been a long couple of years so I just, I forgot about it but that sounds great. And even having the Arden Band join for a football game, that's all just really great community building and you don't see that a lot outside of the school site so I welcome you to expand on either of those if you would like to but mostly just wanted to say that it stood out to me and I really appreciated it. - Thank you. We do partner with a lot of different schools for different activities including middle schools and other high schools. It's just something we've always done. We've done our Ralph Richardson dance in the past but not since I've been in high school so it's been a while. (Paula and Reyes laughing) - Thank you. - Mr. Hernandez. - I was just gonna say the same thing so thank you. - Okay Miss Creason. - Thank you for the report. You are very, very busy. You and the team over at El Camino. So a couple things I pointed out haunted house, when was that? - [Nayeli] That'll be October 28th. - 28th. Is it after school? - [Nayeli] It happens from second to fourth period. - I have to go see that. - [Nayeli] You do. - I'm really excited about that. Also really excited about the Ralph Richardson dance. Ralph Richardson is near and dear to my heart, so if you need volunteers at all or donations, I'm here for it. Would love to stop by and be helpful in some way. That's really, really wonderful. So thank you for doing that and excited about your plays. So the last two plays I was able to attend and I saw two productions that I had never seen the movie or anything. So "Mama Mia" and never seen before, did not know what I was walking into. Totally changed my life and the last one was, "Oklahoma." And again it's like okay and my husband's from Oklahoma but I wasn't super excited about going again, changed my life. It was really, really great and so I'm excited to come and see "Bye bye Verde." I know you guys had some major changes to your main staff 'cause folks, uh staff. - [Saul] Cast. - Cast, cast because some folks graduated. So I'm really excited to see the changes as we enter into the new production season. So thank you for your report. Appreciate it. - [Nayeli] Of course. Thank you. - I wanted to ask about you said you're doing bye bye. Birdie four times the 20. - [Nayeli] Yes. Sorry. A total of six shows. - Total of total of six shows over three weekends. Is that one? - [Nayeli] I believe it starts the 26th and I think we go into November 5th. - Okay, I'll be there. Okay. All right. Thank you Nayeli. Thank you for your report. And indeed now we'll move to Casa Roble Fundamental High school and we have from Casa and Dylan will be talking to us. - Good evening, President McKibbin, members of the board, Superintendent Kern and Ms. Cunningham. I am Dylan Saucedo, student body president and varsity football captain of Casa Roble High School. - And hello, my name is Kaylee Gibbs. I'm the senior class president at Casa Roble High School as well as our rally commissioner and we appreciate the opportunity to represent Casa Roble in this meeting as we have some great things to share tonight. - First and foremost, we have started the year considerably strong numbers are up in almost all clubs, CTE and student awards. Our student government class doubled in size and has been successful in holding five events, two rallies in a spirit week so far this year. This year for us has been about growing our Ram pride across the campus. There are a ton of new faces and a ton of younger students have never seen Ram Nation in full effect. Homecoming week was an opportunity to show them and we did not fall short of expectations. Last Tuesday kicked off our New York City Spirit Week and style with tacky tool risk day and the debut of our backdrop posters. Our rally took place Friday morning and it was amazing led by my partner. The rally took pieces from each corner of Casa Roble and smashed it into 144 minute masterpiece. The band performed a student rock, the national anthem on his guitar as a JTC presented the flags our cheerleaders put on a show. Our homecoming nominees made an entrance followed by the football team's Ram Jacks and it all ended in back to back winning rallies for the juniors. That night. Ram family came together at Newman Field for a 7:00 PM kickoff to our homecoming football game. We had a DJ feeling our neon construction theme student section and all four classes displayed a theme trailer float for our nominees. At halftime, the football team won the extreme one with the extreme support provided PAC stands, our band cheerleaders and the infamous blue crew. The next day, 800 Rams got to experience a cast study of dance at our school for the first time. Since January of 2020 we had one gym for bag check, snacks, drinks and photo op as the other served as our dance floor in New York City. (coughs) In sports all around football is six and one with heavy playoff aspirations. Water polo is six and six with an opportunity to win a league title and the girls volleyball has been very competitive in league play this year. Aside from that, both of our basketball teams are gearing up for senior led playoff runs this winter. Our senior class is also expected to produce around 10 college athletes that we will share with you later this spring. - In regards to Casa Robles academics, we have additional exciting news. Ram Nations celebrated over 200 students for Renaissance and 453 of our Rams made on a roll for term four. Along with that, 80 students have opted to take the PSAT tomorrow morning. Our student body is continuing to invest into their academic careers as they prepare for midterms this week. Not only this but students participated in a participating in Avid, just explored colleges throughout Northern California. They were also given the opportunity to volunteer their time at the Crystal Rodriguez Memorial Golf Tournament, which presented interactions with investors of the scholarship fund and gave an extra push in their hopes for receiving the scholarship. Additionally, following the global pandemic, several programs have nearly doubled in size, including junior RTC auto and FFA. Casa Roble's agricultural program requested a special shout out for the rival of some new furry friends. We as leaders of our student body, are so proud to witness our peers engaged and thriving in pathways that fuel their interest and passion. Our SCORE program has recently been honored by being selected as a lighthouse academy, being a beacon to the state of California of a highly sophisticated CTE program. We are extremely proud of this program and its coordinator Robert Biggs and all of the valent effort he has invested to make this program what it is today. Part of the CASA Way is always extending support to our fellow rams and we are ecstatic for the opportunity to help other schools and programs across the state. Looking to the future, Casa Roble is excited to showcase our upcoming school vision statement. Student government has collaborated with the leadership our administration, including our wonderful teachers and faculty to create a statement worthy of representing every individual at casa. We hope to justly represent the ambitions and hearts of our RAM family through this vision statement. Additionally, we are very honored to personally inform and invite you to Casa Roble's upcoming spooky festivities. Saturday October 22nd from five 30 to 8:30 PM Casa is opening its doors to welcome the spooky spirit of October with a community friendly evening of fun. The festivities will include a haunted house, trunk or treat, showcasing several clubs and groups at Casa as well as some carnival inspired games. Casa is so grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community and Ram family through events such as this. This is not all for Casa Roble boys itinerary for the 2022 to 2023 school year. We strongly encourage and invite you all to enjoy the ride with Ram Country by following us through our social media platforms as well as our weekly announcements with our wonderful Ms. Baker. Thank you all again for the opportunity to represent Casa Roble tonight. And we look forward to what's to come not only for Casa Roble but the stay on one school district. Take good care of yourself, be kind to each other and go Rams. - Any questions or comments from from board members? - Thank you both as well for the report. Particularly excited to hear about the growth and enrollment and the seats in the different CTE programs, but more importantly than the numbers, just in general, everything that you all spoke with, you could just tell the pride in your voice. So that was really great to hear. So thank you for being fantastic ambassadors on behalf of your peers and for all of the work that you'll are doing. It also sounds like there's quite a bit of student engagement in the school vision statement piece, which is fantastic. I think more traditional statements that are created are a little bit more staff driven. So it's excited to hear that hopefully what comes forward I look forward to seeing the statement but more importantly for me, the fact that student voice was part of it is really important. And then finally, I wanna thank you for the invitation both of you to both the spooky spirit but also the haunted house. I don't do haunted houses (Michael laughs) so I'm gonna let my colleagues pick that one, but I hope it goes really well. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat so just wanted to say that. Don't take my absences. (laughs) Anything other than that. Thank you both for your great reports. - Thank you very much for the comment. We actually called it a haunted Casa where we come from. Oh at Ram country. So it's a little bit different, definitely would love you guys to make a appearance if you could, if that was interest in you. Another thing we appreciate, the, just acknowledging that we have so much pride in our school. You know, we both take huge steps this year as seniors to you know, become better leaders on campus and involve ourself in different aspects of the school, including student government and sports for both of us. So we very, very much appreciate that. Thank you. - Ms. Creason. - Thank you for the report. I love haunted Casa I will go for my colleague because I like being very, very strict. So I will be there. Don't judge me for what you may see me do. (Michael and Creason laughing) That's (indistinct) IQ I just love that the student body is involved in the vision statement. That is huge. I mean it is your campus so I think that this could serve as a model. Whatever your process, I'm not gonna ask you to get into the process now. I would love to learn more about it maybe offline 'cause that really could be a model for other schools. I think it's so important. So we could all put, you all could put your stamp up on your homeschool, right? - [Dylan] Yes ma'am. - So that's awesome. Thank you for sharing that. Your sport success is, wow that's amazing. Gotta ask how are my goats in that big giant, loud stinky pig? - They're doing well. They receive a ton of love from our ag program are their leader in Miss Tan Hill. This is her first year being 100% focused on just the ag program. So they're receiving a lot of extra love this year. - I love that. Okay. Again, you know if you ever need a volunteer, not with the pig, (all laughing) it kind freaks me out a little bit. (laughs) But I do, I am concerned about his welfare and I love the goats. I don't know if you know but my son has named two of your goats. One is named Max. He was a baby last time we were there, it was a while ago. And then there was another one that he named Great Dan the Golden Goat. So I would like to check on them very, very soon. So thank you for the invite and your very thorough report. Thank you. - I think, feeding hour actually comes up here soon after this. So if you'd like to. - [Creason] Say, one more time. - I said I think feeding hour for the Pig actually comes up soon after this. So you know, that's. - All we're to that. (Creason laughs) Thank you. - I wanted a couple of things. One is on the 22nd, what are the hours for that one? - [Kaylee] It's five 30 to 8:30 PM. - It's in the okay, got it. Okay. And the other one thing I wanted to comment was that as you talked about academics, it was very clear that you were talking about the whole spectrum of college two career and I think that's one of the things that Casa should be very proud of is that wide spectrum. But if you can tell me any more, you've talked about the the FFA program, you've talked about the what? The auto program you've talked about score. - [Dylan] Yes sir. - That it is indeed what Casa has become is this fully comprehensive school. - [Dylan] Sure. - [Kaylee] Yeah. - You. - So we have the AVID program that we also spoke about. We talked about an opportunity for a scholarship and kind of pushing that on our students. You know, if they would like to go to college, then that's something that we definitely help them out with. Something that we're definitely very involved with the AVID program to a trip out to Northern California on the coastline for a avid field trip. They checked out six different colleges and there were three days they were there and you know, each one of them were able to learn a little bit about that college also see a future home that could possibly end up at. So you know, we take huge pride in getting our students to the next level in academics and athletics on both sides of that spectrum. So thank you. - Thank you very much Kaylee. And Dylan it's Dylan right? - [Dylan] Yes sir. - And I'll see you on Friday. - [Dylan] Yes sir. See you on Friday. (laughs) - Okay, thank you very much. We would like to thank you for your report and appreciate you being here tonight. Student voice is very important to us. You are welcome to stay for the remainder of the meeting but we realize that you both have all have very interesting lives. Homework and things like that. It's okay. It really is okay to leave 'cause you're gonna be doing more interesting things so if you need to attend to this, it is a good time to return to the other things that need your tension. And indeed Nayeli and and Casa Group. Thank you very much. We are at items E two through E five. There are no reports from staff board, appointment district committees, employee organizations and other district organizations. We now move to item E six, close session expulsion actions. Ms Costa. - The board voted unanimously to accept a hearing panel's recommendation of two expulsions in case numbers S two and S six.

Miss Bassanelli will receive a yearly contribution to a supplemental retirement plan in an amount equal to 25% of the maximum contribution permitted under the internal revenue code section 403B and will receive the same health and welfare benefits and salary adjustments as other district administrators. - Thank you very much.

There is a handful of administrative staff and teachers that monitor and walk the campus daily when students are
