CALL TO ORDER 2. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD 2.a Public Communications on Closed Session Agenda Items Janice Burow, teacher, spoke about the 5% salary increase proposed by BTA and the current challenging environment confronting teachers. She feels the 5% COLA the District will receive this year should be used to show the teachers that they and their work is appreciated. Bridget Highfill, teacher, commented on how teachers come to BUSD and then leave due to the low pay and high living expenses in Burbank. She asks the Board to support fair compensation for Burbank teachers. Rachel Zonshine, teacher, talked about the personal financial challenges of teachers who provide extracurricular activities for their students and the higher cost of living and asked the Board to pay teachers fairly. Lisa Raluy, teacher, spoke about the great teachers her own children have had at BUSD, but laments the low teacher pay in the current environment of high inflation. She said BUSD is not offering the best nor even competitive pay to Burbank teachers. She feels the District needs to do more to support new and existing teachers. Tracy Sorensen, teacher, spoke about her pride in having served 36 years as a Burbank teacher, and asked the Board to provide a substantial raise in compensation to Burbank teachers. Jennifer Halligan, teacher, said she spoke on behalf of herself and other Disney Elementary teachers, and asked the Board to support the 5% compensation increase that BTA has proposed.

Board of Education 166 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 Jennifer Flores, teacher, talked about her decision to become a teacher and the many challenges confronting teachers, especially the past two years, as more and more duties get added to their jobs. She spoke about the stress, both mentally and physically, that she has been under and the challenge of making ends meet in an environment of rising inflation. She asks the Board to honor BTA’s proposal for a 5% compensation increase. Joel Schlossman, community member, again asked why Closed Session is not broadcast. He asked why COVID-19 test kits were not provided to the students in the FACTS program, who are among the most vulnerable. He spoke about the Vice Mayor, Konstantine Anthony, who recently spoke at a Board of Education meeting, and said he did not have the authority to offer City services to the school district. He is frustrated that the comment function is not available on Superintendent Hill’s YouTube videos. He asked Superintendent Hill to consider providing a 4-day work week to help employees recharge. He asked the Board to consider Superintendent Hill’s poor job performance when it is time to conduct his evaluation. Rachell Campbell, teacher, said we have lost out on excellent teacher candidates because District pay is not competitive. She became emotional when she talked about her shame in being unable to afford a one- bedroom apartment in Burbank, even though she is a hard-working teacher with a Master’s degree. She feels the 5% increase in compensation that BTA has proposed would be an important step in her being able to afford to live here in Burbank. Alyson Edge, teacher and NAF Academy Advisor, spoke about the importance and impact of her work with Academy students, and said that the District must retain our quality teachers and counselors, and asked the Board to please support fair compensation for Burbank teachers. Nicole Drabecki, teacher, spoke about her work as a Physical Education teacher and the demands of being a teacher, especially the last two years. She said she feels bad for veteran teachers, who are retiring in high numbers, due to work stress and the risk of working with underlying health conditions in a pandemic. She spoke about the loss of the elementary P.E. teachers, which has had a ripple effect on elementary teachers, who lose valuable planning time because they must now also teach P.E. She asks the Board to bring back elementary physical education next school year and spoke about the difficulties facing Special Education teachers. 2.b Staff Responses Superintendent Hill thanked all of the speakers for coming tonight after working all day and said they are seriously looking at the Governor’s Budget. He clarified for Mr. Schlossman that the test kits the District received from the State of California were for K-12 students, but the District would be providing test clinics or kits soon for preschool and older students such as those in the FACTS program. 2.c Board Members’ Responses Member Frintner thanked the speakers for coming and said he and his fellow Board Members know the challenges that teachers face and said the District will do the best they can regarding compensation. Member Aghakhanian said he will do all he can to support Burbank teachers. Clerk Weisberg said that she understood the teachers’ concerns as she is also a teacher and said that she has been having some meaningful conversations with City of Burbank Councilmember Nick Schultz about the issues of finding affordable housing in Burbank. She is not sure what the solution is, but she

Board of Education 167 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 does acknowledge that surrounding districts do pay more and said, like Member Aghakhanian, she will fight as hard as she can for fair teacher compensation. Vice President Ferguson says he hears the teachers loud and clear and that the Board needs to do their job. He says he asked quite a while ago that any budget proposals contain a compensation package. He shared that he personally pays $2,000 a month for a studio apartment and agreed that the fear of financial insecurity is sometimes overwhelming. President Tabet said she feels the District owes the teachers the best compensation package they can afford. She spoke about the high cost of living, especially for younger people, and said they need to do the best they can to provide better compensation for our employees across the board. 3.

Board of Education 168 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 6. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGENDA There were no adjustments to the agenda. 7. ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDAS President Tabet asked staff to bring forward the Board Policy on graduation requirements so that the Board can discuss it. Vice President Ferguson asked to have the Budget Subcommittee work on and plan for additional budget appropriations for having legal counsel in both open and closed session with the understanding there may be potential litigation. 8. OATH OF OFFICE 8.a Administration of the Oath of Office for Student Board Members Char Tabet, President, Board of Education, administered the Oath of Office to Student Board Member Owen Vivado, representing Monterey High School, who will serve as Student Board Member for the second semester of the 2021-2022 school year. 9. REPORTS FROM THE BOARD 9.a Student Representatives Jule Reader, JBHS, and Owen Vivado, MHS, reported on events and activities at their respective schools. 10. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD 10.a Public Communications on Agenda Items Polly Stenberg presented Greg Miller, Principal, and Alicia Boote, Librarian, John Muir Middle School, with a check for $1,000 to help purchase materials for the John Muir Middle School Library. Destiny Helligar, Carmenita Helligar, and Lisa Dyson also participated in the check presentation. Madison Clevenger, student and member of the Black Student Union, spoke about her belief that the five books removed from the core curriculum for containing the “N” word should be restored as their removal silences the voices of hundreds of Black authors. Destiny Helligar, student and member of the Black Student Union, said she believed that the District was asking teachers who cannot understand the Black experience to teach the five books that were removed from the curriculum and, while she is not an advocate for censorship, agrees with the decision to remove those five books from curriculum. Carmenita Helligar, parent, spoke about the use of the “N” word and how it resonates differently depending on who is using it.

Board of Education 169 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 Diana Abasta, teacher and President of the Burbank Teachers Association, spoke about the District’s decision to reopen school on January 3 and the rising case numbers and high levels of absenteeism throughout the District. She said that students have come to school untested but positive with COVID. She spoke about the loss of the elementary P.E. teachers and the increased burden that has created for elementary teachers. She presented a petition with the signatures of over 200 Burbank elementary teachers. She asked the District to support their proposal for a 5% compensation increase and an increase in the health insurance cap. Sara Jennifer, parent, said she disagreed with the decision to discipline students for failing to wear their masks properly, especially during P.E. classes. She said that her daughter complained of feeling dizzy during P.E. Joel Schlossman, community member, admonished the Board Members and told them that they need to pay attention to the public speakers. He said that he corresponded via email with Clerk Weisberg during Saturday’s meeting which he thinks is probably a Brown Act violation and proves she was not paying attention to her colleagues or to the Public Speakers. He spoke about the Board’s decision to give raises in the form of vacation pay to several of the highest compensated employees amounting to approximately $20,000 per employee and questions how they can look the teachers in the eye when they ask for fair compensation. He questioned the inclusion of the Native American Land Acknowledgment at every meeting and cited some other atrocities that he believes are much worse than what the U.S. government did to Native Americans. Becky Tipton, teacher, spoke about the challenges of teaching, living on a teacher’s wages, and the high cost of living in Burbank. She said she is burnt out and is seriously considering a change of career or a change of district. She said that competitive pay is crucial in retaining experienced teachers and hiring new teachers. Jeannette Elliott, teacher, spoke about her background in art and her early happiness as a teacher, but said happy days are few and far between now. She believes that an increase in salary will go some way to alleviate the struggles that teachers are facing in this challenging environment. She asked the Board to accept BTA’s proposal. Robert Hammell, teacher, said the few days back have been some of the hardest of his teaching career. He spoke about the increasing number of teacher vacancies and said he fears the District will be unable to attract and retain quality teachers if we do not bring up teacher compensation. He urged the Board to accept the current proposal from the BTA. He also asked the Board to revisit the voting threshold of 66% to change class schedules. Faith Bond-Wyatt, parent, spoke about the South African doctor who discovered the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and noted that at the last meeting Clerk Weisberg said it was dangerous to quote that doctor but said she believes that is short-sighted and we should consider varying medical community viewpoints. She believes that Omicron is mild, like a cold, and that children are at low risk. Kate Sergeant Curtis, parent, said that parents are angry and she reminded the Board Members that they can be voted out. She cited the dramatic increase in COVID cases at school sites and said that the Board made a mistake by sending students and staff back to school after Winter Break before the at-home testing kits were distributed. She said she is angry on behalf of her daughter’s teachers and principal as they are being pushed to the brink. She repeated the question she asked at the last meeting about what happened to the remaining $5 million in COVID relief funds.

Board of Education 170 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 Nadra Ostrom, parent, DEI Committee Member, and Member of the Destiny Education Project, spoke in support of the changes to the curriculum to remove academic materials that contain the “N” word. She said it does pain her that the works of some notable Black authors have been removed, but feels that other materials can be substituted. She said that students are traumatized by the use of these core novels in class. She said that the District cannot figure out how to stop the racist treatment of District students and said that the District needs to urgently address this as well as the lack of diversity in academic materials, especially at the elementary level. She urged the Board to adopt the revised policy on tonight’s agenda. David Kronmiller, parent, thanked Member Frintner for apologizing for some of his remarks at the last meeting. He noted that there were 100 deaths in L.A. County today from COVID-19. Since the surge in Omicron we have lost 60,000 Americans this year alone. He feels people are glossing over the pandemic in the interest of getting on with their lives and thinks that while surges in this virus might become the norm, he finds this complacence unacceptable. He urged the District to implement mandatory testing and to advocate elected officials to discontinue attendance-based funding. Steven Gorman, parent, said he has received three letters that someone in his daughter’s class has tested positive and said that the District’s COVID-19 Dashboard is incomplete and not up to date. He urged the Board to adopt mandatory testing and questioned how the District reports out to the County about positive cases. He asked what measures the District was planning to take to create better ventilation for indoor P.E. areas and what measures the District has taken to improve classroom ventilation. He asks why classroom doors and windows are not opened to provide better ventilation. He asked about the CARES Act COVID-19 funding the District received and asked if those financial details have been posted to the District’s website. He asked about the residual monies and whether they would be spent on COVID-19 measures. 10.b Staff Responses Superintendent Hill thanked the two student speakers who addressed the changes to the core curriculum and said he appreciated hearing both viewpoints. He said that everyone who spoke agreed that the District needs to include more diversity in the curriculum. He explained the progressive discipline policy used to enforce student masking protocols, the policies around student absences, and the academic models available to families. He addressed the comments about how the District utilized the COVID-19 relief monies and said the District is moving towards mandatory testing but currently there are issues with capacity. He addressed some of the concerns speakers had with regard to the District’s COVID-19 Dashboard and the District’s HVAC systems. He said the District would continue to look at the money we receive from the State, acknowledged that staff has taken on extra work, the comments made with regard to employee compensation and how the District can recruit quality employees and retain the employees we currently have, and said we have to keep working to come up with solutions. 10.c Board Members’ Responses Member Aghakhanian spoke about his career as a university employee and professor. He said one thing that people are not talking about is that there has been almost a 50% drop in students not returning to college. He said there will be a competitive job market for our students, which speaks to the importance of the work of teachers in preparing them for the future. Member Frintner thanked all of the speakers and thanked the student speakers who spoke about the proposed changes to the core curriculum. He said with regard to COVID-19 there are no easy answers, but they are trying to make improvements to make class safer for staff and students. He said he hears people saying they do not want to return to a virtual learning environment and the majority of students are

Board of Education 171 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 attending in person. He said he support mandatory student testing, but reminded people that a negative test is only valid for that day and that cases will continue to develop. He spoke about the District’s need to support our teaching and classified staff and said the Board will work with the Superintendent and staff to ensure that they feel valued and not just with words. Clerk Weisberg countered the comments made earlier about the South African doctor and said that COVID-19 has been politicized, but is not a political issue. She countered Mr. Schlossman’s comments regarding their email exchange and said that the atrocities that he cited did not take place in Burbank and she stressed the importance of including the Native American Lands acknowledgment. She thanked the students who spoke about the changes to the core curriculum and explained her views on this subject. She again thanked the teachers who spoke and said they deserve to be compensated by their hard work. Vice President Ferguson thanked all of the speakers, thanked the Destiny Education Project for their donation, and thanked Madison Clevenger and Destiny Helligar for their advocacy. He said he would like to see some “rules of the road” for presentations of donations and cited the fact that some foundations get to make formal presentations so this feels like an equity issue to him. He said that compensation is important in making people feeling valued, but said that is not enough and that we must fix the trust issues and show that we really care about their safety and welfare. He said it is unacceptable that nearly 3,000 students have been absent from school for almost 10% of an entire school year and expressed his concern for their welfare. He said he has yet to see a Board Report on what those 3,000 students look like and how many of them have IEPs, 504s, and appropriate supportive services at home. He thanked the people who have approached him with solutions on the communications issues facing the District. He said that we have asked for a compensation plan to be brought forward as part of the budget plan. He said he convened a testing subcommittee, but neither the Board President nor the Superintendent were available for that meeting. When he sees kids out on Chandler or in the public parks, he knows they are supposed to be in class and he feels like the District is failing them. He said the District needs to have a backup plan. He said he is tired and we need other people working on this, as a team. President Tabet thanked the speakers. She thanked Carmenita Helligar for her explication on the use of the “N” word and said her comments helped her gain a better understanding as a White woman of her age. She said that the District very much wants to work towards a fair compensation package for all our employees. She said she is disappointed in her communication at the emergency Board Meeting of January 2nd and said she hopes in the future that she will do better. Mandatory testing will be a vital part of keeping our District functioning. She announced the 4x free at-home tests recently made available to every household by the Biden Administration. President Tabet declared a five-minute recess at 9:31 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:38 p.m. 11.

REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD 14.a Public Communications on a Subject Within the Jurisdiction of the School Board Roberto Villalta, Classified employee, spoke about the Ewing Study, which he says took eight years to compile, but said he feels like it is a big joke and is unfair and discriminatory. He said his department division will not be voting yes as custodians are slated to stay at the same salary level, while some of the other employees are scheduled to get as much as a $10,000 increase. He said the District talks about

Board of Education 182 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 transparency and honesty, but he is not seeing that. He said he has telephoned local media outlets and asked them to investigate this study and the resulting document. Joel Schlossman, community member, said that he told the custodians they need to hire an attorney and mount a class-action lawsuit. He said he felt he did the community a favor by fighting the parcel tax and saving the community money. He said the Board is opening a can of worms by allowing the Superintendent to take books out of the curriculum. He said he would handle the use of the “N” word differently through education. He said in cases of bullying the student’s parents should also be called in because they learn these things in the home. He hopes that families who don’t believe in COVID testing can donate their unused test kits. He said that charging fees for Public Records Requests will have a chilling effect. Carmenita Helligar, parent, said that Stefani McCoy, DEI Consultant, got together the two students who spoke about the removal of books from the core curriculum and helped them arrive at an understanding despite their differences of opinion. She said that Member Aghakhanian never responded to her email regarding the recent incidents of racism in the schools and hopes that more Board Members will begin attending the DEI meetings. She advocated for counseling resources to be made available to students and adults, including District employees and Board Members. Lynn Rothacher, teacher, said that she feels the District has “ordered prime rib on a chicken budget,” with the teachers being the prime rib. She spoke of her love for teaching but described some of the sacrifices she has made and the extra work that she continually does on her own time. She says she really does not feel valued by this District. She thanked the Destiny Education Project for their donation to the John Muir Middle School Library and thanked the two students who spoke about the changes to the core curriculum. She said she is frustrated that 16 months after the Board decided to remove the books, no meetings have been held to discuss replacing those materials. She is asking for more leadership on this issue. She said teachers’ opinions on this subject should be encouraged. Linda Bitto, Classified employee, said that since December 16, 2021, she has had 89 students withdraw to ILA, and said that ILA needs their own staff to handle this work along with calculating student credits. She spoke about the false threat Burbank High School received on November 5, 2021, and what a challenge it became without the school’s SRO present and with multiple staff members absent. She said that administrators were interviewed, but it took until January. She said safety procedures need to be reviewed and that they need their SRO back. Diana Abasta, teacher and President of the Burbank Teachers Association, also spoke about the false threat incident that occurred at Burbank High School and how difficult that day was. She said she tried to contact Superintendent Hill and all of the Board Members that day, but only received a response from two Board Members. She suggests there should be three Board Members available when needed and would like to see some kind of a plan so that don’t have to scramble around when they need to convene a meeting and need to be heard. She said when she reaches out to Steve Ferguson and Emily Weisberg, she gets a response; in fact, they contact her. She said she would like to know what is the policy around nonprofits and the educational foundation and spoke about the efforts of the District to merge various groups under one umbrella. She says it is a shame that Burbank does not have a million-dollar educational foundation that can provide for all of our students and she would like to know what is the policy for adopting nonprofit organizations and fundraising. She said while she appreciates that the Destiny Education Project donation was made to a library, she reminded the Board that BTA gives to every school library every year and feels it is hurtful that so much attention is being paid to one particular donation. She wants to know if there is a plan for how we are going to open up school in 202—from safety issues to starting school at 8:30 a.m.—and said she does not want to wait until August. She feels that the

Board of Education 183 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 movement of students from traditional high school to ILA needs to be examined. She feels that students should be encouraged to reach out to the DEI Consultant, who is an adult, and not the other way around. Kelly Duenckel, parent, said she is in complete support of our teachers and staff getting the full amount of the 5.07% COLA increase in the form of a raise in compensation. She addressed Vice President Ferguson’s question about what happens to Special Education students who go into independent learning and said their parents are asked to sign a document that appears to be a waiver but in reality, is a settlement agreement because the District is acknowledging that they cannot provide FAPE (free appropriate public education) and they cannot provide the services mandated by the student’s IEP. Her question to staff upon learning this is do the parents of general education students have to sign any type of agreement where they are waiving learning loss and, if the answer is no, she thinks this is an access issue that should be looked at by staff. 14.b Superintendent’s Comments and Responses Superintendent Hill responded to Mr. Villalta’s comments about the Ewing Job Study and said that the bargaining units were represented and he encouraged all CSEA members to reach out to their CSEA leadership. Dr. Niemann added that all CSEA members should attend the upcoming CSEA Town Hall meeting and talk to their CSEA leadership. He said that the Ewing Job Study is not the only way that members can receive an increase in compensation. He responded to Mr. Schlossman’s comments and confirmed that unwanted test kits can be donated to the District and clarified that the fees charged for Public Records Requests are set by the State of California. With regard to employee mental health he said the Family Service Agency of Burbank is working on developing a hot line (called a warm line) for BUSD employees to call. He said that a middle school planning collaboration was held and others can be organized. As well, Dr. Paramo and Ms. Cuseo are always available. He encouraged Ms. Bitto to contact him with her ideas about school safety, but clarified that the SRO was informed by the site principal about the incident at Burbank High School and did not learn about it simply by driving by. He thanked Ms. Abasta for her suggestions and said they would talk about foundations at the upcoming Budget Study Session in March. He appreciated her ideas about developing a contingency plan and protocols for contacting people when they are out of the office. Regarding Ms. McCoy’s meeting with the two students, he clarified that the meeting was organized by the mother of one of the students. He thanked Ms. Duenckel for her comments about employee compensation and how we work with Special Education students. 14.c Board Members’ Comments and Responses Member Frintner thanked all of the speakers. He explained the Ewing Study process and confirmed that unused test kits can be donated back to the District. He said the Board is looking to form a subcommittee to work on issues involving the ILA. He said that they are concerned about fundraising and are planning to hold a study session in March. He thanked Ms. Duenckel for her support for the teachers and Special Education students. Member Aghakhanian said he formed the DEI Committee and he believes he has only missed two meetings. With regard to the Armenian students, he said to Ms. Helligar that before she makes comments she should check the history and explained that they are not Asian. He told Ms. Helligar and Ms. Abasta that they should call him instead as he is always reachable. Clerk Weisberg thanked all of the speakers. She said it is always very powerful to hear Mr. Villalta speak and she encouraged him to keep coming back. She thanked Ms. Rothacher and asked Ms. Cuseo to explain the process regarding the curriculum changes at some point. She thanked Ms. Helligar and Ms.

Board of Education 184 Regular Meeting – January 20, 2022 Abasta for their insights and suggestions. She thanked Ms. Duenckel for bringing up some things that she would like to learn more about, such as the differences between Special Education and general education students. She thanked Ms. Bitto for sharing her on-campus experiences and providing more insight into her job. Vice President Ferguson thanked all of the speakers. With regard to Mr. Villalta’s comments, he said that he does believe that everyone is trying to move forward in a transparent way and said that the Ewing Study is a gateway to other conversations including reclassification and compensation. He thanked Ms. Helligar for reminding everyone that we are all dealing with trauma. He thanked Ms. Bitto for sharing her insights about her campus, the level of absences, and her experiences during the November 5th incident. He said he appreciated Ms. Duenckel’s advocacy. He said we may be able to waive the fees involved with Public Records Requests and said that we should establish a policy. President Tabet asked if staff could investigate Mr. Villalta’s suggestion for custodians to work a 4-10 schedule in the summer and let him know the reasons why they could or could not. She said that when voluminous Public Records are requested it costs time and money to compile them, so she feels in those cases the District need to charge. She apologized to Ms. Abasta as she does not have her telephone number and offered to exchange phone numbers with Ms. Abasta and Ms. Drabecki after the meeting. She indicated that a study session on fundraising is planned for March. 15. ADJOURNMENT The Board adjourned to Closed Session at 11:53 p.m. The Board reconvened in Public Session at 1.01 a.m. President Tabet reported that the Board voted 5-0 to have legal counsel present during Closed Session at the next regular Board of Education meeting, which will be held on February 3, 2022.
