Tonight we will hear from student representatives from San Juan High School and Rio Americano High School. Welcome and let's begin with Carmen Saguilan From San Juan. And Carmen, please correct me if I've mispronounced your name and began when you are ready, Carmen. - Okay, so my name is Carmen Saguilan. And I'm graduating class of 2011 representing San Juan High School. And before I start, I have my script written on another device. Is it okay if I read it off that? - Yeah, absolutely, whatever works for you. - I just didn't want to be disrespectful. Okay. So it's kind of intimidating with a lot of people here. - So one, you're all good and I'm a little nervous too but whatever works for you, you're not being disrespectful. And thank you for asking. So, whenever you're ready. - Okay. So, I put change can be difficult for anyone. And I'm sure we can all agree adapting recently has been quite difficult for both staff and students. I personally love school and I'm graduating top of my class and an honor roll student. And recently, distance learning has brought me to self doubt and question myself whether education was the right path for me in the long term. I can, I don't mean to stutter, but I can't imagine what students who struggled in school began to fail when we started distance learning, as well as students who don't get help from home. However, throughout time and later, however, with that, sorry, however, with time and good leadership, San Juan has made it easier and I have seen a positive change. The San Juan staff has tried their best to stay connected to their students and encourage school spirit. I'm honored to recognize my school and their outstanding efforts during this time, especially to the teachers who personally reached out and dedicated time to class, and dedicated time in class to help out students who are struggling, the help that not only myself, but other students feel less alone during this time, over time, I started to see a change and more students begin to be more engaged. COVID hasn't taken everything away from our school. Recently, students have been practicing safe sports and attend weekly clubs zooms, I'm in a few club zooms myself, and our school counselors run a program for mental awareness for students in our school, and Student Government has encouraged school spirit with once a month, weekly spirit weeks, as well as fitness activities and many more. We have turned into a positive direction as a community, I'm excited to see more growth and hopefully within time, we can take action into a hybrid plan when it's safe for everyone involved. Again, thank you for your time. I'm glad to explain my point of view throughout this experience. Sorry for stuttering. - I mean, you did great. And oftentimes people do read, so don't worry, you did a fantastic job. And thank you very much for your report. And if it's okay with you, at this point, we usually turn it over to just a few questions addressed to you and how you're doing and how all things at San Juan. So with that, I'm going to see if there's any questions from my colleagues. Ms. Creason. - Just a comment you did great. I know it can be incredibly nerve-wracking to see so many bubbles and, you know, titles and whatnot. But you did a great job. And I didn't hear you stutter. I heard you take breaths. So you're good, you're good. I also just want to say I'm really proud of you, top of your class at a really challenging time is absolutely incredible. And so, pat yourself on the back, I say this to all the seniors, you're not getting what you deserve. I wish that you could get all the celebration and you know, you've done so much to achieve and get to where you're at. And I'm so sorry that circumstances are you know, tampering everything you deserve. But I'm proud of you. And I'm really grateful to hear you speak tonight. - Thank you, I appreciate it. You guys are all very nice. (laughs) - Are there any other questions from my colleagues? I had just a quick question. I also just really appreciated her report and also just how genuine it was in really letting us know how COVID has impacted in both in academic studies, but just you know, as a kid trying to make it through a pandemic. I really appreciated learning about the club zooms and I'm always really thrilled and thankful that people have gone, you know, above and beyond to keep the clubs going even in a distance learning format. And I wanted to welcome you to share anything about maybe your favorite club or how that's been going. Any other reflections on your clubs zooms? - Okay, yeah. So I'm in quite a few clubs, and I'm a president of a few of them. But this semester, I really wanted, well last semester, I was working on starting my own club for San Juan. So that once I leave, they could have the club behind. Basically, it's gonna be, so the zooms only gonna be once a month because I know it's like struggling for students to attend them and there's going to be different, like teachers or adults from different fields. So like someone from a medical field, someone from educational so that different students, they particularly don't have to be in the zoom and the club but they could attend the zoom based off what profession is gonna be interviewing them. But (indistinct) Sorry. - It's okay. - But, and then they're gonna come and they're gonna ask questions and basically on the real world questions as well because I feel like high school prepares you for college but sometimes it doesn't really prepare you for the real world. So on my club, I want to teach students about taxes and like how to invest and how to save and how to move out, what to look out for. And for like women, I want to raise awareness for women and safety guidelines to be aware of the sex trafficking and everything going on. Especially with everything like with the riots and stuff, I just want people to feel more safe and have a safe environment. So that's a club I wanted to start. And again, the mental awareness club was really cool. And then we have an art club for students who want to be creative during this time and express themselves through poetry, or music, you know, sorry. - You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. You did great and I really enjoyed hearing about that. Thank you so much for sharing and I don't know if you can, I know sometimes when you're set up on a phone or other device, you might not be able to see everybody but everybody has pretty wide grins right now and so I speak on behalf of most if not all of us, and I say thank you for all the work, I mean managing multiple clubs is a lot of work but I also just appreciate it. I don't know if you want, you know, a board member attending but I love the idea of, you know, like banding, helping students expand what professions there are, and that kind of thing. And so, you know, know that we're here as a resource to, if you need it, it sounds like you've got it 100% under control. So you don't need to take us up on that. But thank you very much for joining us and spending some time with us this afternoon. I really appreciate it. And we really appreciate it. And I know, I knew Ms. Creason might wanna jump in again, because employment is all her jam, for sure. - Yeah, there's that. And I was really excited about, like, a lot of your clubs that you just mentioned. So if it's okay, I would love to loop back with you offline, because I think, I would love to offer my help if you want it, we can be helpful. I think that was just so great that you're trying to start a club just for real life experience. It's so incredibly important. And I really appreciated what you said about being prepared not just for college, but for actual life, whether it be at a job. So we're a resource, not just me, all of us, but we're all a resource to you and I'll be in touch. And I wanna clap for her President Villescaz. (claps) - Thank you again, Carmen. Next, we will hear from McLean, Rio Americano. - Hi, I'm McLean Burke, and I'm the elections chair and a sophomore at Rio Americano High School. Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. Today I'll be addressing some of the challenges and concerns that my fellow students and I have had during our time in distance learning, as well as ideas our student government has for the months to come. Starting with the challenges and concerns the student body feels that the 15 minute Zoom periods on Wednesdays are unnecessary and not productive. Time would be better spent using Wednesday's hours or optional instruction instead of mandatory class time. Additionally, seniors have a lot of questions about graduation and they haven't really been given any information about what that's going to look like this year and they would just love some clarification. Similar to the seniors, the juniors feel rather in the dark about what is expected of them concerning college prep. They've expressed that they feel unprepared and a lot of counselors are giving them very vague and contradictory information. Student Government has proposed the idea of putting together a senior panel giving juniors and underclassmen a platform to ask questions and get answers from people who are going through or have been through the process. One of the most concerning issues that was brought to our attention, our students with 504s and other modified learning plans, they've expressed that they aren't receiving the help that they need, and were told that they would be given and are often struggling even more with their schoolwork. They said that they are unnecessarily having to advocate for themselves and the teachers aren't respecting the policies that have been put in place. Lastly, our student government believes it would be in the best interest of the students and the staff for the district have put out a definite statement about whether or not we will be going back to school this spring in the hybrid model. Most students have expressed their interest in staying online for the remainder of the school year, as it would be harder for them and for teachers to adjust and the hybrid model would take away even more instructional time. On a more positive note, student government at Rio has a lot of ideas to improve the community and overall culture of our school. We've noticed a large disconnect in the freshman class and they don't have an outlet to meet other students in their classes and many haven't met anyone new this year. Student Government is working on a way to get them together to connect possibly through a weekly support group on zoom led by our students. And in regards to spirit, we have virtual spirit weeks throughout the year like we had one for homecoming in the first semester and we will also be reinventing our traditional gala spirit week this March virtually. On the note of virtual rallies and (spirit we have our spirit commissioners working to do weekly announcements posted on our social media pages. And they've also put together virtual rallies throughout the year, incorporating various programs, Rio offers like the cheer team, the song team and band. More recently, Rio partnered with Del Campo and El Camino to do a virtual blood drive through VitaLink, which we normally do in person annually. Additionally, Student Government is putting together a student senate which creates an opportunity to hear from a more extensive population from our student body and it also motivates our government class to work harder and address more concerns of the larger body, student body. Lastly, our class has been looking into speakers to come talk to our school. In the first semester, we had Kevin Bracy, a motivational speaker come and speak to several students over Zoom. And this semester, we've been in contact with Robert Taylor, who is a former Jesuit rugby player who was paralyzed and now uses his story to inspire others. We're hoping to hear from him on January 21. Thank you for your time and allowing me to speak on behalf of Rio Americano. - Thank you very much for that report. And at this time, I'm gonna turn it to my colleagues for any questions. Dr. McKibbin. - [Mr. McKibbin] Yes. McLean, can you tell me a little bit more about your Student Senate, how the people become senators, how many per class and things like that? - Yeah, so we opened it up actually, just to kind of everyone, we put it out on our social media pages, just anyone who was interested in being more a part of the school, and, you know, kind of going outside of our immediate government, to government, those who were elected. And we have a couple people working right now to put that together. So far, I think we have seven members of the Student Senate, and they will begin to meet fairly regularly and talk about certain issues that they're experiencing and that our student body is experiencing. - [Mr. McKibbin] Thank you. - Any other questions from my colleague. Ms. Creason, I think I saw you raise your hand, - My background's weird, but you don't want to see what's behind me. So we're keeping the background-- (laughs) So McLean, thank you so much for your report. And I want to just really call out and show appreciation for your candor. We wanna hear it all. So I really appreciate you sharing the struggles along with the positive, it really is appreciated. And if it's okay, I would love to connect with you offline as well to just do a deeper dive. I know, you can only say so much in two minutes, right. It's a short speech, but we'd love to talk to you. I also just want to acknowledge, you know, Rio has experienced tremendous loss this year with the death of student and an alumni. I mean, I just want to acknowledge the pain of your school. And I'm so sorry that, you know, that on top of everything else that you guys are having to deal with. It's a whole lot. You did have questions about reopening and I'm sure staff can follow up with you because there are some decisions and some plans that have been made. There's also a COVID dashboard. So we can connect you with the right folks to get you all caught up on all that on what is the plan, totally understand, you know, want to know what's going on. I also wanted to say I got an email from someone over at your school, you guys are developing a garden. And so there was a fundraiser and, can you talk a little bit about that, that seemed exciting. - So I've heard a little bit about this, this is outside of student government control, but it's a senior project, I believe, someone is raising money to, kind of I think, renovate like the garden area for the ILS program, and make it wheelchair accessible, and that kind of thing. So it's really cool, but it's not immediately tied to student government. It's a senior project. - Got it. Sorry to put you on the spot like that. It's like, oh, a real person, you have got a garden cabinet. So I apologize for that. We're really excited about what you're doing and I look forward to connecting with you. - Thank you. Me, too. - Any other questions? - I have expressed my, sorry, oh, go ahead. Okay, Carmen, did you have another question pertaining to your report? - No, just for one of the things that they needed to answer too, I was gonna recommend something that San Juan does, that might help them. Is that okay? - Yeah, that's, helpful We haven't had that before but I guess as long as no one says that its not okay, it's all within the scope of student reports. So please go ahead. - So basically, as I'm a senior, and I have a lot of questions about graduation, as well. And I know a lot of students have questions about reopening of hybrid. So what our teachers do to not give us false hope, but still keep us like encouraged, they tell us different color zones that we're in and what colors that we need to be in to be safe, and what color zone like we currently are in, so we have like positive reinforcement of how much we need to work towards. And if we don't have a graduation, we'll know because if we're in the red, we just know it's not safe for anyone. And if we're in the purple, you know, vice versa. And it just helps the students have to be more level headed and know whether it's safe for us to go back or not. But we do have our different options available. So I don't know maybe the teachers can tell you guys what color you're in like our teachers do. And it could help like the seniors like myself know, because being safe is more important than anything, you know. - [McLean] Thank you. - Thank you, Carmen. And I know that that was included in some of the information that Ms. Creason kind of alluded to, so anticipate some follow up on that for sure. But I appreciate the the spirit of the remarks and wanting to be helpful to your fellow peers. Thank you both very much for joining us, we appreciate having you here this evening. And student voice is really important to the board. You're welcome to stay for the remainder of the meeting, but-- - Clap for McLean too? - We can. Sorry we didn't. (claps) Thank you McLean. - [McLean] Thank you. - We recognize that you're busy. So if you have other things that you'd rather attend to, now would be the time to depart. But thank you again very much for both of your reports and for joining us this evening. - Thank you so much. - Next, we're at item E2, staff reports. And so we will hear from Superintendent Kern. - Thank you, President Villescaz. I'm gonna touch on three items, one of which kind of was brought up amongst the students and then Mr. Shoemake is gonna give a quick report about our holiday events that we had as well. First, I wanted to kind of update the community and the board related to the vaccine. This has not been rolled out to educators yet, we expect it to start sometime in February. And when it does, our frontline teachers and others inside classrooms at school sites will be prioritized. We are working to determine if it will be possible to use our own staff to administer the vaccine, so that we can speed deployment when it is available. Vaccines will be voluntary and not required. All districts in the county are working together on this initiative in partnership with the County Office of Education and our local health officials. Regarding returning to in person learning, we're absolutely committed and still planning on returning two weeks after the county reaches the red level of the state's risk monitoring system. So far, there is nothing in the governor's recently announced plan that would allow that timeline to be expedited, there are elements of the plan that may allow us to access and expand testing capacity directly as a school district that we're exploring. And then lastly, related to mitigating learning loss, we're working to develop what additional supports can be deployed to support students with a focus kind of on three areas. First, our current timeline through the end of this school year, then looking at what we would be able to do during the summertime. And then going beyond that into next school year and into the fall. I have to tell the board and the community, I had an amazing conversation with my Superintendent Students Advisory Committee last week where I just
