All Board Members individually commented and expressed their appreciation to Nadaly Jones and the ASB for their courage and bravery to make a change, for leading the way and for finding ways to represent all students, for having tough conversations, for hearing the concerns and sending a powerful message, for making a difficult decision in unity, and for making a positive change.

Board of Education Regular Minutes – June 3, 2021 276 community and for supporting the JBHS girl sports, and hoped that other community members take note to possible making similar donations in the near future. 9. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD 9.a Public Communications Interpreter: Nuria Lundberg (Spanish) Ethan Ransom, Parent, was allowed to join the meeting via a Zoom format. He thanked Superintendent Hill for meeting with him to answer questions related to school reports of abuse around the nation. Although he is still concerned, he was hopeful that with honest discussion, trust, and transparency the District will find the right way to teach a complete and complex version of civics history and other subjects. He then read quotes from the California Ethnic Studies model curriculum documents and hoped that the District executes the model as stated by providing guidance to the DEI Committee and others who are eager to implement an Ethnic Studies program to avoid similar mistakes and be a District that welcomes open community discussion and solutions that will ultimately move the community together. Cathi Zsupnik, Teacher, SEEDS Program, was allowed to join the meeting via a Zoom format. She commented on the District's Anti-Racist statement and expressed her concerns regarding the curriculum, the language which she felt is divisive, establishing values between parents and children, the reduction of people by defining their color or characteristic as oppressor or victim, defining the terms used as systemic racism or privilege that are objective and concrete. She recommended a sunshine clause to allow parents a choice after the decision is made regarding anti-racist training and/or curriculum and to offer an alternative that is fact-based and that teaches civics. Having divisive policies that isolate groups and call them out by the color of their skin will not work. She hoped that the anti-racist language will change and that the curriculum is developed with critical assessment and complete transparency. Caroline Solberg, Parent, was allowed to join the meeting via a Zoom format. She commented on the proposed Board Goals and asked why Goal 2.4 - Implement the GATE Master Plan was removed and asked that the goal be reinstated or modified to read "Continue implementing". She also asked that all Master Plans be added to the Goals and listed as a separate sub-goal to be able to identify the progress at the end of the year. She liked the idea of implementing Smart goals in the future and commented on the Stage Craft Program at Burbank High school, which is a dual-enrollment class to receive credit at Glendale City College and thanked the Board for making it possible. Janet Diel, President, Burbank Coordinating Council, was allowed to join the meeting via a Zoom format. She thanked outgoing SFOC members Elena Hubbell and Brian Smith for their dedication and service to the District. She then commented on the Campership process for this summer and encouraged parents and students to apply. Carmenita Helligar, Parent, was allowed to join the meeting via a Zoom format. She thanked Deborah Madrigal for leading the way and for supporting students to changing the mascot name at JBHS and wished her well on her upcoming retirement. She also thanked Linda Bessin for the donation and for setting the stage for other possible donors. She then thanked the Board and staff for their leadership during this difficult year and shared her personal story regarding racism and hoped that other parents understand the experiences that black children endure and asked the Board that whatever curriculum is approved to talk to everyone because it is a hard conversation. 9.b Staff Responses Superintendent Hill thanked Ethan Ransom for meeting with him to talk about the questions he raised at a previous Board meeting. He agreed that when talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and changing the school culture we must have an open dialogue with a focus on humanity. This is not to alienate one group versus another. The goal is to have honest conversations by creating brave spaces. He thanked

Board of Education Regular Minutes – June 3, 2021 277 Cathi Zsupnik for her service to the students and highlighted her concern regarding using objective definitions and words such as systemic racism privilege, which are clear objective definitions, and hoped to meet with her to review some of the terminologies. He agreed that the District must be transparent and objective when scrutinizing the curriculum as a part of the process. Anti-racist curriculum has not been adopted by the District and the public will be encouraged to participate in the discussion at a public meeting if the District does adopt any new curriculum. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training will be provided before the start of the new school year to employees. He thanked Caroline Solberg for her comments regarding the Board Goals and noted that in the past nine Board goals were listed, including 51 sub-goals. The Board and he discussed collapsing the goals to allow better focus on all Master Plans. Staff continues to work on each Master Plan, but the focus now is on the main four goals. He agreed with her suggestions regarding smart goals. He then thanked Janet Diel and the Burbank Coordinating Council for their continued support to District families and wished her a speedy recovery. He was looking forward to continuing to work with Carmenita Helligar through the DEI Committee and thanked Principal Deborah Madrigal for her leadership and wished her a happy retirement. 9.c Board Members' Comments and Responses Member Weisberg thanked Elena Hubbell and Brian Smith for their service, students Bea Park, Teya Jieanu, and Nana Bhambi, and Linda Bessin for the generous donation. She also expressed her gratitude to Carmenita Helligar for her involvement and commitment to improving schools and to make it a place where all students feel included and part of the conversation. She also thanked Janet Diel for providing opportunities to students in the community. She then addressed some of the comments made by Cathi Zsupnik regarding critical assessment to be transparent and encouraged her to meet with Superintendent Hill to discuss the process to diversify the curriculum and to hear the desire to make the District a place where all students are included. The goal is to include more people by exploring both sides to explain to students that this is a complicated process. She asked that community members of color are allowed to share their stories and perspectives to try to unite by having a complete understanding of the history by teaching multiple perspectives. She encouraged exploring books and resources to learn that the definitions being used are objective, complete, and correct. Member Aghakhanian thanked all the speakers for their comments, especially Janet Diel. He then commented on diversity and inclusion and noted that unless people experienced such discrimination it was difficult to discuss and come to an agreement. He then reported that he attended promotions and graduations and thanked staff and the parents for supporting their students and the students for continuing to learn during this difficult year. Clerk Ferguson commented regarding curriculum changes and noted that goal one is to prepare students for the future and goal two to create a safe campus community where are learners reach their fullest potential. The current curriculum is not preparing students for the future. These conversations are both necessary and critical to ensuring a world that can tackle the problems together. We have to do a better job of telling the story and thanked everyone for the continued work in a respectful and meaningful way. He thanked Caroline Solberg for her comments and noted that the goal was to receive annual Master Plan progress reports and will discuss further once the item is presented. He was thrilled to have attended many in-person promotions and graduations and thanked all staff for coordinating safe events during such a challenging year. Vice President Tabet thanked all the speakers and noted that the DEI work was new to her as she continues to learn daily. She appreciated the callers for sharing their thoughts and ideas in a respectful manner to hear all sides of the story. She thanked Caroline Solberg for speaking about the Board Goals and suggested that the current Master Plans are reviewed and asked for clarification regarding the Stage Tech Craft class at BHS. She thought that the class was being offered at both high schools through the Adult School to receive college credit at Glendale Community College. Ms. Cuseo explained that the class is only offered at BHS not at JBHS because the articulation agreements have to be done teacher by teacher. The JBHS had not completed the process and has now resigned; however, once another teacher is hired and the agreement in place, students will retroactively be granted. VP Tabet then thanked Janet Deal for being an amazing person and for continuing to provide campership for students. She congratulated the JBHS Basketball team for recognizing the staff for ensuring that they had a season during COVID. She

Board of Education Regular Minutes – June 3, 2021 278 attended promotions and graduations, which was the highlight of a Board Members year, and thanked all staff for their dedication to coordinate such events. President Frintner thanked all the speakers for their thought and suggestions, including Caroline Solberg for her comments and for her suggestion to incorporate smart goals. He thanked Janet Diel for her continued work in the SFOC and the Coordinating Council for providing camperships to District students and Carmenita Helligar for her positive comments regarding Principal Deborah Madrigal and for sharing her personal comments regarding racism and Ethan Ransom for understanding that ideas and communications are taking place to make this issue work. Changes in curriculum have not taken place, but all students need to feel represented. Shame or separation is not the goal instead we are trying to recognize and validate all experiences and all points. Not trying to separate families, but it is a responsibility to provide a balanced and full education. The Board is trying to provide a complete education for all students by continuing to provide open communication. He also attended promotions and graduations and expressed his excitement to finally being able to provide such events following COVID guidelines and thanked staff for their dedication and for coordinating the events, but especially the teachers for trying to educate students during such a difficult year. 10.

First Reading of District Wide Goals_2021-2022_060321.pdf (OF 28,777) Superintendent Hill reported that on May 15, 2021, the District held a Special Board meeting to conduct a Study Session for senior staff to receive input from the Board of Education in order to revise the Goals for the 2021-2022 school year. The Goals will guide direct priorities for District resources including staff emphasis, time, and budget development. The Goals presented tonight are the first reading and he welcomed discussion and feedback. Clerk Ferguson thanked staff for incorporating the new goals as discussed during the recent Study Session and suggested that a broader District Master Plans goal to be included to reassess and to check in on all plans to determine budget realities and adding specific language to Goal 1.9 to allow more time to change or implement a program of providing students with up to two years of community college and/or apprenticeship experience before graduation by 2025-2026 to allow working with community partners and the teacher union to see if it is viable.

He agreed with the changes suggested by Clerk Ferguson and felt that the Goals had been identified to move forward.

Board of Education Regular Minutes – June 3, 2021 279 Vice President Tabet commented on the current Master Plans and noted that only three of the ten Master Plans are included in the current Goals and suggested that revising Goal 4.6 to review and prioritize strategies within all ten approved Master Plans.

Clerk Ferguson also requested replacing language in Goal 4.6 to focus on streamlining District and Site based communication. 10.c Report on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee Matt Hill, Superintendent, reported on the progress of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, as presented.

The Instruction Committee revised the draft policy for the selection criteria for instructional materials- BP 6141 and AR 6141 after the first reading on May 20, 2021. The second reading will be presented on June 3, 2021.

NEW AND/OR UNFINISHED BUSINESS 11.a Second Reading and Approval of Proposed Revisions to Board Policy 6161.1 and Administrative Regulation 6161.1 That the Board of Education approve the proposed revision of selected Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from the California School Boards Association (CSBA) – Governance and Management Using Technology (GAMUT), as presented. Second Reading and Approval BP and AR 6161.1 with BP.pdf (OF 28,779) Sharon Cuseo reported that the first draft, as presented to the Board on May 20, 2021 contained twenty suggestions from all stakeholder groups to change the draft. The current second draft reflects the following changes: Removal of any use of the "N" word in instructional materials, including the opt-out provision; and the expansion of diverse representation language for both instructional materials and the composition of the selection and evaluation committee. All Board Member participated in the discussion regarding possibly including professional development criteria, the use of the N word not being allowed in instructional materials vs. supplemental reading materials required by not core curriculum and/or teacher required, deleting the N Word for all instructional and supplemental materials, adding more prescriptive language and/or referencing current Board Policy regarding supplemental materials, the difference between classroom materials being taught in the classroom not about the books, core novel differentiation being mandatory but not the supplemental, If not mandated is it a choice, students should not be subjected to the "N" word in order to complete optional or not optional assignments, creating a list of suggested reference materials at the beginning of the year. Clerk Ferguson requested that Committee is tasked with amending the language to address the questions being asked.

Board of Education Regular Minutes – June 3, 2021 280 Sharon Cuseo felt that it is important to allow teacher to make recommendations about other sources that may include the N word, but not because it contains the N word. This policy does not allow permission to allow teachers to teach or allow discussion in class, which will not interfere with instruction. Additional discussion took place regarding instructional materials, which are taught in class and the need to not place unnecessary limitations, the use of assigned curriculum versus supplemental, which is considered choice. John Paramo shared his personal story as a parent and a teacher and noted that oftentimes students are asked questions that provoke critical analysis that requires a text to support an argument. The text is only used as a reference to support the claims. The language will be reviewed to allow students to participate in such discussions in a respectful way for those students who wish not to participate. Clerk Ferguson was concerned about the training component as well as not having an educator who can help a student in need. John Paramo agreed that training is critical and as whole-class discussion or whole-class instruction books or materials containing offensive words should not be taught. Superintendent Hill suggested a narrative and detailed cover memo to provide guidance and a Q & A to explain the change and to clarify most of the concerns raise by the Board could be created by Sharon Cuseo and John Paramo and sent to all staff. Additional conversation took place about concerns regarding training, which is critical to be able to teach the appropriate context and suggestions for further Committee discussion about a training component, including the training and supplemental materials cost and to bring back the Policy as a third reading. Clerk Ferguson suggested that the policy be approved with the understanding that supplemental materials maybe utilized at the review of the Superintendent and/or designee. Superintendent Hill was concerned that a review process for possible requests would be a lengthy process, which would delay instruction. It was then suggested that at the end of page 8 language be added to read "the Superintendent or designee shall develop a process to approve supplemental materials that may include offensive materials that contain the "N" word and to report back to the Board next year. It was moved by Charlene Tabet, and seconded by Armond Aghakhanian, that the Board of Education approve the item, as recommended. The motion carried unanimously with the following roll-call vote: AYES – Frintner, Tabet, Ferguson, Weisberg, and Aghakhanian. 11.b Approval of Job Description and Approval of Salary for Executive Assistant to the Board of Education and Superintendent That the Board of Education approve the job description and salary for the Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, effective July 1, 2021, as presented.

This position and salary are being proposed because the current .5 FTE allocated for the Superintendent's will be frozen.
