All those in favor say aye. - [Board Members] Aye. - Aye, that was unanimous. We are now at item E1, recognitions, Superintendent Bassanelli. - Thank you. Tonight we have a special recognition for our General Counsel, Ms. Linda Simlick, would you mind coming to the podium? So I am recommending the adoption of resolution number A429, recognizing retired General Counsel, Linda C.T. Simlick. She has been a longstanding member of San Juan Unified for 22 years. She's super thrilled to be at this podium. - [Linda] Super thrilled. - She has taken care of us for so many years and we are incredibly grateful to you. And so thank you for allowing us to honor you in this way. Without your permission, I'd like to read the resolution to our general counsel. So I'm gonna read it because I think this really captures Linda. So this is resolution number A429 honoring Linda C.T. Simlick. Whereas Linda C.T. Simlick has led a distinguished career in the field of law and education. And whereas Linda has dedicated more than 22 years of service to the district, students, families, staff members, and community. And whereas Linda has been a trusted and valued counselor to multiple San Juan Unified superintendents and Board of Education. Whereas Linda is currently the longest serving member of the superintendent's cabinet with more than 18 years of service. Whereas Linda is a recognized leader within the legal services field with schools having provided mentorship and guidance to her staff and others. Whereas Linda's knowledge and expertise in special education has provided guidance for families and practitioners. And whereas Linda has been an advocate for fairness, equity, and the rights of others through her work and her leadership within the district. And whereas Linda's efforts have directly impacted the lives of students, families, and educators. And whereas Linda will retire from service in the district sometime this summer, it doesn't say sometime, but I'm adding that. Now, therefore be it resolved by the San Juan Unified School District Board of Education that we hereby recognize and expressed sincere appreciation to Linda C.T. Simlick for her services to the district, and extend our heartfelt best wishes for her good health and happiness in retirement. So before, I don't know if you wish to say any comments, but maybe any comments from the board. - [Creason] Questions, comments from the board? Ms. Villescaz. - I have an interest in prolonging this as much as possible. (Villescaz laughing) Linda, thank you very much for your years of service and for doing your absolute best to keep not only us up here on the dais out of trouble, but to really navigate this district through a number of challenges. I mean, throughout your career. I of course have a long roster of what I've seen in the last seven years and I know that that's still a fraction of the long tenure that you've served here as part of this district. Thank you for every single day. Thank you for everything that you've done. I mean, I don't even wanna start itemizing things 'cause I'll inevitably forget, but also just thank you for the way that you led in a compassionate way, in a trustworthy way, in a way where we knew that the best interest was always in service to our community and to our kids. So thank you very much for all of your time spent with us and I wish you well in your next chapter. Thank you. - [Creason] Mr. Hernandez. - Ms. Simlick, I guess tonight I am the longest sitting board member up here. So on behalf of all our past colleagues and our current, I'm sure I speak that we are going to miss you. You have been an absolute sunshine to us, and as Ms. Villescaz said to keep us all out of trouble which is a job in itself, and many people don't know that house counsel, it doesn't matter if it's Friday at 10 at night, she's taking a call and well talking me off the ledge usually. But just you have been an absolute rock solid advocate and you have just done an outstanding job and we wish you the very, very best in your retirement. Thank you. - [Linda] Thank you. - I just wanna say, and I'll be brief. I'll never forget the first time I got called to your office, I was only in this seat for maybe a week, and I was, without getting into all the gory details, I was very, very upset and it was a whole entire thing. And I will never forget your kindness as a brand new board member that has never done anything like this. And you were so wonderful with me and always just so warm and so welcoming and you're really one of my favorite humans. And so I'm glad we became friends. We're gonna keep being friends. I'm gonna come to your house and pick blackberries and all the things that I keep saying I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do it. And I'm so proud of you and I'm so thankful for just being in your space and getting to know you. I've learned a lot, so much. I don't think I've ever communicated how much I've learned from you so I can do this job the way it's supposed to be done. So thank you Linda. - [Linda] Thank you. - This is an action item. So is there a motion to adopt resolution number A429, recognizing retiring general counsel, Linda Simlick. - So moved. - Moved by Ms. Villescaz. Is there a second? - Second. - Seconded by Mr. Hernandez. All those in favor say aye. - [Board Members] Aye. - Aye, that was unanimous. - Thank you very much. I just wanna say it's been wonderful working with you all in the last year or so, or just even a few months. The board has been great. It's wonderful working with Melissa now. She's just a fantastic superintendent and it's been my honor to serve the district for the 22 plus years that I have. So it's something I'll never forget. So thank you. - Hold on. (Linda laughing) (Linda clears throat) (indistinct) All right, we are on staff. We do not have any reports from staff. So we are now at item E3, board appointed district committees. Tonight we have two reports. Let's begin with vice chair of the facilities committee, Ms. Melinda Avey. - Good evening, President Creason, board members, Superintendent Bassanelli and Ms. Cunningham. My name is Melinda Avey and I am the assistant chair for the facilities committee. And I'm here tonight to give our annual report. Our chair, Anderson Barry could not be here, he's traveling, and I know he would've liked to have been here with me, but he's not. So to give you an idea of who we are, our committee's charge is to provide advice to you on matters pertaining to facilities, including allocation of resources to provide adequate, safe, and appropriately maintained schools, needs of the district, including proposals related to categories which may require a large expenditure of funds, or may be controversial in nature. An effective utilization of facilities due to enrollment problems caused by shifting, increasing, or declining enrollment or boundary issues. As you will see, we've had a really, really productive year. We started off the year with our annual organizational meeting. We reviewed our bylaws and the Brown Act. thanks to Ms. Simlick who keeps us on track. In November, we provided input to LCAP on what we think is working to help students feel connected at school and what we think is not working. At that meeting, we also received an update and provided feedback on easement agreements with Carmichael Water District and California American Water Company. December was a really busy month. Committee members had expressed concern about school safety. SafeSchools attended our meeting and shared with us what is currently being done to enhance the safety and security of our school sites. We also reviewed the most recent renderings of Katherine Johnson and Arcade Fundamental Middle School. In April, we attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Katherine Johnson, and in May we attended a community meeting that was convened by Supervisor Desmond to address community concerns about transportation and sidewalks at Katherine Johnson. Since we're a community advisory committee, we reflect the community. So we try to get out to the community so we can bring back not just our opinion, but the community's opinion. So lastly, we provided the following feedback to the boundary committee, and the boundary issue is something that we've been very, very interested in. So I'll share with you our recommendations. Consider potential racial and economic segregation that may be created with new boundaries. Ensure a sense of community at school sites. Ensure the sites are able to cater to the communities they encompass. Address concerns around sidewalks and safe routes to school, especially on El Camino Avenue. Promote walking to encourage less traffic, try to keep neighborhoods together, and avoid geographic barriers. And finally, legacy students should have options. In February, Camp Winthers shared with us the history of the camp and the many summer activities they offer. I've never been there, it sounds amazing. I'll probably never go to camp there, but it sounds like a very cool place to be. Post COVID, the camp has seen many more campers and inflation is making it difficult to fund delayed maintenance and needed capital improvements. We voted unanimously to support their request for a fee increase. At that meeting, we also received a bond program update and also reviewed and voted to approve minor changes to the school facilities handbook. In March, we discussed revisions to our bylaws. The nutrition services department provided an update, and at the direction of the school board we discussed the feasibility of non permitted community use of school facilities when school is not in session. We decided to form an ad hoc committee to more thoroughly research the issue, and it's anticipated that it will complete its work in October. In April, we received an update on new technology services available in the district, including a demonstration of the new interactive teaching panel. In May we received an update on the site safety implementation plan, including district timelines for implementation. We also reviewed the boundary, the proposed boundary maps, and requested additional information on enrollment demographics. To gain insight into the community's perspective, we attended a meeting held by the district at Dyer-Kelly that allowed the community to review the maps, ask questions, and make recommendations. In June, following a robust discussion, we voted unanimously to approve map one as the map that most closely met the criteria we had discussed earlier in the year. At that meeting, we also had the opportunity to review the surplus property process, a project that we are looking forward to tackling next year. I'm really excited about it. It sounds like a very interesting thing to do, and I never thought I'd say that. So there you go. We visited three newly renovated school sites this year. Del Campo High School, Barrett Middle School, and Casa Roble High School. They are amazing. I mean, it's amazing, and we hope to visit more next year. Finally, we'd like to thank Mr. Camarda and his staff for their help. We know that working with the Community Advisory Committee takes a lot of work, a lot of preparation, and a lot of time. And to be honest, sometimes a lot of patience. They really do go above and beyond in supporting this committee, and we are much smarter and much more effective because of it. Thank you. If you have questions, hopefully not, but, (Board members laughing) be happy to answer what I can. - Thank you for the wonderful report. Any questions or comments from the board? Mr. Hernandez. - Thank you Ms. Avey. I am privileged to be the liaison to this committee, and it is so well run, so well organized, as your report clearly dictates, and we appreciate you and the committee's time, and we do really evaluate your recommendations. So thank you very much. - Thank you, I'll share that with them. It's a great committee, everyone there, we have new members now because we have new board members but they're all engaged and they're all interested in what they're doing. On our ad hoc committee we have five members, so that's pretty good, and they're all active. So we appreciate your support and we appreciate the opportunity. So thank you. - Any other comments or questions? I'd just like to say thank you for all the time 'cause yeah, sure. You know as staff, we put in, there's a lot of time put in but you put in a lot of time, volunteer gig, and it takes a lot of heart to throw yourself in there and to do that work. And there's so much going on in this district with all the new facilities. Safety is front of everybody's mind, and facilities is at the top of that list. It's a lot. So I just wanna say, just express my appreciation for you, your time, your volunteerism and those of your colleagues. So just thank you. - [Melinda] I will share that with them. Thank you. - Thank you. - [Melinda] Thank you very much. - Next we will hear from the chair of the Bond Oversight Committee, Tim Slate. Mr. Camarda. - Thank you President Creason. The Bond Oversight Committee chairperson is running late. - [Creason] Okay. - So if you could either postpone or re-agendise for later in the meeting, that'd be appreciated. - [Creason] Okay, I will ask how we technically go about that. - I think that could be Linda's last ... - Linda's last action? - Yeah. Yeah, thank you. - [Creason] Thank you Mr. Camarda. What's the pleasure of the board? Should we vote to move the item or should we table until the next meeting? - Is the chair on the way? - Yeah, do we have an ETA? - [Kravchuk] If he's en route I could motion to postpone, or she. - Well, do we have any other feelings from other members? My thought is let's just hold until the next meeting. - I'm fine with that. - Okay. - No objection. - Okay, we will table until the next meeting. Okay, we do not have any reports from employee organizations or other district committees. So we are at item E6, closed session expulsion actions. Mr. Hernandez. - The board voted unanimously to accept the hearing panel's recommendation of one expulsion in case S47, and to accept what's written one stipulated expulsion in case number S50. - Thank you Mr. Hernandez. We are at item F, visitor comments. We do have speaker cards for general visitor comment. Comments are limited to two minutes. The clock on the screen counts down the time under the Ralph M. Brown Act. The board is not allowed to comment on items that are not on the agenda. So we're not ignoring your comments, we just can't respond to any individual comments. The superintendent can refer items to staff who can follow up with you. Ms. Rai please facilitate public comment. - Sure, first we have Shauna Sevetovac followed by Bennett Smith. - So my son is an incoming freshman at Rio Americano High School. And I went to the first meeting to learn more about what's gonna be happening and program, and he's just a little concerned about some of the things I heard, and then when I did more research I was even more concerned. And so I wanted to bring it to someone's attention about certified athletic trainer for these boys. It's very important and they don't have that currently. It's a safety concern. They save lives, there's proof of many instances where people have been on the field and without those trainers they would not be here. So that was my first concern. Second one is, we still have no lights for the field and no bleachers on top of it. So it's just, I graduated from there in '97, we had the same thing but I thought by now, we would have a home field and have lights and bleachers, somewhere to sit and watch games and it's just, I think very, very important for our teams at the school to have that. And having other schools, having to travel, having to pack up everything. And when I heard we had to pack up our snack bar, and all gear and go have a home game somewhere else is just, it is very concerning it's gone on this long at this school. So just kinda wanted to put it out there. I have, I think a lot of parents here that showed up are feeling the same way, and we just kinda wanna raise our hand and see if we can make a difference there for these kids. So that's all. - Thank you. - Thank you. - [Rae] Thank you, next we have Bennett Smith, followed by Ivana Smith. - Hello everyone. I'm speaking on behalf of all the parents and families of all the high schoolers on the football team and the cheer team. My sister's an incoming freshman at Rio Americano and I just feel like it would be really fun to have lights there just to be able to go to home games 'cause I live in the neighborhood, and like, sorry, I just feel like it would be really amazing to have lights and also an athletic trainer. I wanna look out for everyone on the cheer team and the football team in case they get injured. I just feel like there should be someone there to help them. That happens. Yeah, I just wanted to add on to that. So thank you. - Thank you. - [Rae] Thank you, and next we have Ivana Smith, followed by Jeff Grins. - Hi, good evening board members. My name is Ivana Smith and I live in the Rio Americano neighborhood and I have an incoming freshman at this school who is gonna be doing cheerleading as my son mentioned. And it's been brought to my attention that the school shockingly doesn't have stadium seating, they don't have lights. And so for all of our games we travel to Del Campo to play all of our home football games. So all of the equipment, all of the mats for cheerleading, everything travels back and forth. I know this has been an issue for a really long time. I know that it's a battle that Jesuit High School has also been battling in the neighborhood and I know that they have made some traction with the neighborhood and they're gonna start having a few games this fall with temporary lights. And so I don't see why Rio Americano can't do the same. So I'm here to advocate for lights, stadium seating, and also really most importantly the athletic trainer of course for student safety. I'm really just kind of shocked that there isn't one. I just learned of that today. So I'm here to bring your attention to that and I hope that you guys can do something to make some improvements for our kids. Thank you. - [Rai] Thank you, next we have Jeff Grins, followed by Chase Carillo. - Hi there, my name's Jeff Grins. Michelle and I are parents of six children, five of which are San Juan alumni and one who will be a graduating senior this year at Rio. I know we take for granted that athletic trainers are always there, but it's surprising when they aren't. So I would like to see that certified thing. San Juan has done a fabulous job of updating their facilities. It's really exciting to see the new art in school, the things they're doing at all the schools, including Rio. And of course I'm here to talk about doing more for the athletic facility, getting some stands there, maybe some lights. And the thing I've heard a couple of times is about how the neighbors when they built the school, the promise was there wouldn't be stands and lights. Well, the school was actually there before almost all those homes were built. Most of the kids who moved in the neighborhood were my age and their parents are long gone. So I can't see that that's promise was made to anybody. So be brave. It's almost a standard in our region that there are lights and stands at every school. Thank you very much. - [Rai] Thank you, next is Chase Carillo. - Hi, I am a player at Rio Americana High School and I wanna address this issue about the not having an athletic trainer. Last year during a game versus Capital Christian I broke my leg and suffered a compound fracture with my tibial and fibula, and there was no medical staff on the field and it was just very inexperienced people, and it took about 30, 40 minutes to get me off the field. So like you hear about these things and don't ever think they're gonna happen, but when they happen and there's no athletic trainers or any sort of medical staff like that, it's very difficult for me in that situation, obviously. So with proper care for our players, I think that'll impact the team a lot. And about the lights and stands issues, we're losing, the San Juan district itself is losing players to other rivaling private high schools because they think, especially at Rio Americano, since we have no lights or fields or bleachers, they think our football program is not as good as it could be compared to the rival private high schools. So thank you. - [Rai] Thank you, next we have Jennifer Prike. - Good evening. I'm here to speak about the real lights. I actually live on the other side of the soccer field, on Regency Circle and I am for these lights. I've lived in the neighborhood 20 years, and to the young man's comment, I think whatever commitment was made in 1960, like, I'm sorry, when I was born, whenever, it's a long time ago, it's time to move on. It's a beautiful campus, it's a beautiful football field. That huge investment that's been made. I was a high school cheerleader. I'm telling you that memory is with me throughout my entire life. Kids need these positive experiences, and I wanna see them have their home games so I can hear them calling out the plays in my backyard and I don't know that the neighbors today would feel differently than I do. We have a lot
