The video will be used to inform parents and the community about the programs offered and to recruit students into Pathways. There are currently 21 Pathways in Simi Valley. We have also submitted grant applications for two new CTE grants to help expand our current Pathways and we should hear on those by the end of May. Of special note, Trenton Oliver is a 2013 graduate of Santa Susana High School who is known for his video talents. We hired him to help shoot and edit this video. Also, a current college student recommended by VCOE, Matt Rice, developed the SVUSD Pathways logo in conjunction with Jake. A website is currently being built for SVUSD Pathways as well.

PRESENTATION April Jacobsen, Coordinator, introduced the members of the DELAC committee; DELAC a special group of parents that have helped with the LCAP. COMMITTEE  Parents: Maria Pinto, Angelica Gomez, Teresa Tobaldo  Liaison: Marlene Villasenor April Jacobsen shared the following information: Each California school district, grades kindergarten through 12, with 51 or more English learners must form a District-level English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) or

subcommittee of an existing district-wide committee. The DELAC committee consists of representatives from school site English Learner Committees (ELAX) and district personnel. State law requires that parents of English learners not employed by the district represent 51% of the DELAC membership. The DELAC has the responsibility to advise the district’s local governing board on programs and services for English learners and is responsible for a series of tasks pertaining to English learner education and parent engagement. In addition, the DELAC should receive appropriate training to carry out the legally required advisory responsibilities. The annual report provides information on district family engagement activities provided in 2014-2015 as well as parent input on continued actions and services for English learners and their families to be considered for district plans for 2015-2016. With the help of Alicia De La Torre, a RHS teacher, a video documenting new immigrant’s conversation about being an immigrant was shared with the board members. PUBLIC Clerk of the Board Blough reported that no blue card (individuals requesting to COMMENTS speak to the Board) was received. There were no yellow cards (individuals stating their opinion and not wanting 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) PUBLIC HEARING None EMPLOYEE Dayle Gillick, President of the Simi Valley SEA Chapter, stated the following: ORGANIZATION SEA “Good evening President White, Clerk of the Board Blough, Board Trustees, Superintendent Peplinski, and staff. I stand here tonight with 11 SVUSD teachers who will see this board approve their final lay-off notice tonight for the upcoming school year. Some of these teachers have received a RIF notice every year that they have worked in Simi going back 4 years to 2011. Also, let’s not forget that we have 13 temporary teachers who potentially will not be returning in the fall. Even with the return of their employment in past years, many of the RIF’d teachers have moved schools, taught different grade levels, and generally have seen no stability in their teaching environment, having to reinvent themselves every year. These great elementary teachers are the victims of the bigger picture – it’s called too little too late. While I applaud the District for the new paradigm, which of movement and follow through created through our new district leadership, we are still playing catchup with our neighboring districts. Closing schools, selling property, developing new programs, updating technology are just a few of the things that should have been addressed many years ago. Although a majority of our declining enrollment is due to parents moving out of the area, we did little in the past 5 years to keep students from transferring to neighboring districts.

If we had worked as hard as we are now at trying to keep students, we might not be in a position of laying off quality teachers who have given their best to the students in our district. Teaching is a calling, not just a job. Our newest elementary hires are sitting here tonight to let you know that they are not just names on a piece of paper. They represent a loss not only to our district next year, but to our students as well. They are part of the SVUSD family and their dedicated service will be missed if they are not hired back. These teachers did not look for work elsewhere since they hoped they would be returning to their classrooms next fall. This is the first year in many that we have not returned our RIF’d teachers prior to the final May layoff notice. While we wait for the Governor’s May Revise to see if there will be a substantial increase in revenues to the district, we need to keep working together to find ways to maintain our student population by promoting the great work going on in our classrooms every day. SEA stays committed to working together with the District to look for viable solutions to stabilize and promote our schools and our dedicated, committed employees. Thank you.” EMPLOYEE Jim Jarrard, President of the Simi Valley CSEA Chapter, stated the following: ORGANIZATION CSEA “Good evening President White, Clerk Blough, Trustees and Superintendent Peplinski: First of all, I would like to recognize the efforts and dedication of Dayle Gillick who will be retiring soon as the President of SEA. I first met Dayle over 15 years ago when she was my daughter’s second grade teacher at Hollow Hills. More recently, Dayle and I have worked together on many issues related to employees of our district and it has been a very rewarding experience. I would like to thank the Board for recognizing Dayle’s contributions here tonight as they are well deserved. I would now like to take this opportunity to ask the Board to consider offering select classified employees the same retirement incentive that was approved for teachers at a Special Board meeting held on April 21, 2015. As you know, closing Justin and Lincoln elementary schools is having an impact on classified employees. It has already been announced that two Office Managers have been displaced due to seniority and “bumping rights”. I know that other positions are at risk as well. I am asking the Board to allow our district to offer the same $ 1,000 incentive payment to any classified employee who is safe but willing to retire from a position that represents an employee who has been permanently displaced due to school closures and the bumping process. It only seems fair and equitable that classified positions being abolished secure the same incentive as teachers in the same situation. If a teacher retires to save another teacher’s position and they are compensated for it, a classified employee retiring from a position helping a displaced member should be awarded the same benefit. School closures are difficult and affect students, teachers and staff. Anything that can be done to assist employees who are losing their jobs should be exercised in good faith. I am only asking that you provide classified employees with the same courtesy and opportunity that you awarded teachers. Thank-you..”

STUDENT BOARD The Student Board Report was presented by Emily Shapiro, from Apollo High REPORT School read the following report: “Good evening President White, Clerk of the Board Blough, Trustees Collins, Daniels, Sandland, and Dr. Peplinski” Testing season at Apollo is almost over. Last week, students finished their CAASPP testing and this week, all students who have yet to meet the requirement, will complete the CAHSEE tests. ROP classes are available for our students for next year; they are very popular with our students as they train them for the career of their interest while at the same time counting as credits toward graduation. Staff are encouraging students to sign up for summer school in hopes to recover more credit for their individual graduation plans. One of our graduating seniors, Beatriz Rodriguez, was awarded Apollo’s student of the year by Noontime Rotary Club. Our last awards ceremony is going to be held on May 27th and will end the year on a rewarding note. From everyone at Apollo, have a happy and healthy summer. D.J. Marston reports that Monte Vista would first like to thank all of their students and parents for making sure we had a great turn out for our CAASP testing sessions! We are very proud of them all for working hard and doing the best they can! As usual, Monte Vista School is very busy. As we prepare for graduation, our senior students will be celebrating at the Senior Luau Luncheon, which will take place on May 15. Next year will be exciting for Monte Vista families as we move to a new site. Various events have taken place to inform students and families within the district about the upcoming events taking place at our school. An Open House took place on May 7, as well as participation in the Simi Valley Street Fair, which took place on May 9. We hope everyone is as excited as we are about Monte Vista School’s upcoming changes! To all students of the Class of 2015, congratulations and best wishes to your bright future! We wish everyone a wonderful end of the school year and a very restful summer break! Nikol Spaho reports that The Santa Susana Troubadours are excited to end this school year strong and better than ever. The month began with the commencement of AP Exams and teacher appreciation week. To show just how grateful the students are to have such an amazing staff, the Troubadours covered the school with appreciation posters for the Santa Susana staff. In addition, the PTSA held a luncheon for the staff in which students volunteered to help. The Troubadours will also be holding their final showcases for this year. The school’s film production department is presenting their work in this year’s Filmstock on May 8th while the choral department will be showcasing their talent on May 16th at the annual Cafe Troubadour. Lastly, the class of 2015 awaits their senior awards, barbecue, breakfast, and graduation night at Six Flags. The Troubadours wish you a happy May. Shelby Davis reports that Royal High School has been working hard to end the year in a strong way. They raised over $6,500 for the Kind Campaign with their Mr. Highlander Pageant last month. The school production "Pippin" was also excellent and very successful. AP testing care packages were given out to the hard working students as they continue to take their tests, and teachers were awarded with presents throughout teacher appreciation week. They are now looking forward to their Prom this Saturday at the Skirball Center and working toward graduation! Andi Leon reports that Simi Valley High School’s graduation is set and ready to go, and the seniors are gearing up for their finals and last few events before the year comes to an end. These events include; Senior Picnic, Grad Nite, Senior Rally, and of course, Graduation. Renaissance is continuing the Honor Guard program at Simi Valley High School, which is when the seniors nominate any teachers they have had throughout their

entire school career to come to their graduation ceremony. Simi Valley High School has had a legendary year, and they are ready for an Epic year next year alongside their new principal. On behalf of Leadership and Renaissance at Simi Valley High School, they would like to thank the board, and everyone who contributed to this fantastic 2014-2015 school year. Have a great summer! SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Peplinski stated the following: COMMENTS “Good Evening! I will begin my comments by welcoming everyone to the meeting, either here or at home; thanking the teachers that came tonight; thanking the DELAC families and crediting April Jacobsen for her efforts in helping families become more involved; and thanking all of our student board representatives for the year; thank you for your service to our district and congratulations on your upcoming graduations. We have not had a formal Board meeting since Junior Olympics last month so I would like to thank the Simi Valley PTSA Council for sponsoring this amazing event that is truly one of the highlights of the year. I wish to thank all of the volunteers at each school that help organize and coach our young athletes as it would not be possible without your help. On April 25th, I attended the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center Foundation’s Spotlight Awards, where I was asked to present the Educator of the Year Award to Lisa Pate, Instrumental Music Director at Royal High School. Congratulations again to Lisa. Congratulate Stacy Walker on her new adventure at Hillside working with Mr. Block and Mr. Sheinberg. The 28th of April I hosted a State of the District address at SSHS and I was grateful for the turnout and the positive feedback I received both in person and on several community forum pages. I will continue these types of meetings next year as well. On April 30th, I attended the Festival of Scholars at CLU, where several Simi Valley Unified Teachers presented their research as part of completing their Master’s degrees. Congratulations to Lindi Soltani (Crestview) and Amanda Flemming (Mountain View) who presented at the festival and will be graduating soon! I attended Shrek the Musical at SSHS and it was absolutely incredible. Kudos to the entire group of actors, musicians and tech crew, who pulled off a truly profession show. The musical is nominated for the Jerry Herman Awards (June 2), which is like the Tony’s for High School Musicals in Southern California. On Monday, May 4, the Simi Valley City Council awarded two community grants to the SVUSD. The SV Adult School received $17,257 to fund scholarships for low and moderate income students. The scholarships will be used to help pay for up to half the cost of the certificate programs offered by the Adult School. We also received $15,000 to fund the IB initiative at Royal High School and Sinaloa Middle School. Thank you to our City Council for supporting these programs within our district. Thanks to Jake Finch and Sean Goldman for lobbying for these funds. We learned that Santa Susana High School, Sinaloa Middle School and Valley View Middle School all received the prestigious Golden Ribbon School designation from California Department of Education. It is impressive to know that only 8 schools in all of

Ventura County received the award and 3 are from our own district! Kudos to these schools! In addition, SSHS was named a State Demonstration school earlier this year and on May 1st they hosted educators from across the state and highlighted their model programs. I attended the VC Innovates Grant Luncheon with Trustee Daniels and other district staff where SVUSD honored Mary Beth Jacobson from our City Chamber for her partnership with our district and efforts to increase our student’s exposure to career oriented field trips and careers in manufacturing. On May 9th, I attended the Simi Valley Street Fair with Trustees Blough and Daniels as well as many principals, parents, teachers, and district staff. This was a great opportunity to chat with the community and answer questions about our school district. We had a very active booth. Thank you to Dr. Pietrolungo and Jake Finch for organizing our booth! We have had a very productive and fast pace year. I would like to thank our certificated and classified staff as well as the community for their support of our district and our Board for their commitment to moving us forward. We are seeing many positive things happening across our district. Enrollment looks very positive for next year and I remain proud of our district, teachers, staff, and students! Finally, congratulations to all the students that were recognized tonight….. WOW!

First Reading – New Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1114 (District-Sponsored Social Media) New Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1114 (District-Sponsored Social Media) will set the standards for how the individual school sites with the SVUSD create and oversee social media accounts and activities. Currently there is no formal adopted board policy or administrative regulation to enable school administrators and staff to create and use social media for the purposed of informing, promoting and communicating with followers about a school’s activities, events and news. The district maintains TWITTER and FACEBOOK accounts, as well as a BLOG, all of which are effective forms of social media.

Guidelines are being developed to outline best practices for creating and maintaining social media accounts at school sites.

He said, “One big intention of this is that we need more security cameras.” Mr. Avila stated that most systems have a recording of 30 days; the quality of the picture is also very important. Trustee Sandland stated she didn’t remember having a discussion about cameras. She would rather put money into programs, not cameras. Dr. Peplinski and Trustee White agree there was a conversation about cameras and monies have been allocated; security cameras are a good idea. Mr. Avila agreed that camera are a good idea and added staff at the schools sites could speak better about how the cameras would be helpful. Trustee White stated that cameras are being discussed due to parent concerns. Trustee Daniels inquired about security lights. Mr. Avila responded that exterior lighting would be the next phase.
