What did I just say? We like to thank the board for this opportunity to speak on behalf of Encina Preparatory High. - Okay, do you guys have any questions? - Okay, are there any questions or comments from the board members? Ms. Creason. - Thank you for your report, you did a great job. It's a lot, I get it. I was just at KJ last week or the week before. And so although I was technically at Encina, I was waving to you guys as I was walking around, and I got to see what's going on there. So it was wonderful to be back. Still last time you presented, you mentioned that you had your cooking program and I promised I was gonna come get a plate. I haven't forgotten that. And that's high up on my to do list. Again, so happy to hear that promise happening. If you guys need volunteers looking at you, Ms. Schultz, happy to help out in any way to make that happen for you guys. Really excited about the mural class. And I know Ms. Ruby worked really, really hard to make that happen. So I'm so glad that that's moving forward. And then also thank you for speaking about your construction pathway program. Those are pathways to really good jobs and family supporting wages and benefits. And so I'm so happy that that pathway program is available at your school. So thank you for the report. - No problem, anytime. - [Michael] Ms. Villescaz. - I do have one quick question. You did a fantastic job with the report. I'm pretty enthusiastic about sports aroma. It's one that, did it start at Del Campo or Maryland. I think Maryland was gonna claim it. Let the history show that it started. Either way it's moved across and is now a part of the tradition of a lot of our schools. But I do get a little bit competitive and I'm just curious who won the sports aroma. Do you recall? - I was personally there and I would have to say, as a junior, we knocked it off the park. - That's fair, that's fair. Well, you said it, so now it's the record. So the juniors won, congratulations. - Did you say that the international community fair was this Friday? - No, it's on May 6th, I believe. Yes, May 6th, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. So in the afternoon. - And May 6th and it's 4:00 to 6:00. - Yes. - I have it down, let's see if I... Hopefully I'll make it. Mel and Justin, thank you very much. And let's give them a round hand. (audience applauding) - Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. - We would like to thank you for your reports and being here tonight. Students is very important to the board. You are welcome to stay for the remainder of meeting. But we realize that you have homework and other things to do with your lives. So if you need to attend to that, this is a good time to return to the other things that need your attention. Thank you very much to both schools. (audience applauding) We are now items E3 through E6. There are no reports from staff, board appointed and district committees, employee organizations and other district organizations. We now move to E7, closed session items. Ms. Costa. - The board voted unanimously to accept as written, one stipulated expulsion and case number M31. - Thank you. We are We are now at item F, visitor comments. We have six visitor comments. We would like to remind the public that 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 are 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. Mr. Kern, what do we have? - So I'll call the first two and then the first two are Jeffrey Perine followed by Michael Huang and then Marina Gable. And Mr. Perine if you when you get to the mic, if you would straighten that out facing you. That'll make a little easier for us. Thank you. - Yeah (indistinct). Good to go. Board, my name is Jeffrey Perine. I'm running for assembly district seven. I went to school in the San Juan Unified School District. My entire school career was within San Juan Unified School District. So it's different to be here in front of you and actually speaking to you as an adult, as a person running for office. But there was a few things that jumped out to me when I was looking at the Board of Education and a few numbers that were just kind of scary. I know it doesn't necessarily reflect on you personally, but you are in control of the people that are teaching our children. When I look and see that the statistics say 46% of children in this San Juan Unified School District are at reading and language arts equivalency to passing school is scary, okay. 37% of these students are at or above the mathematics requirements to graduate. But somehow 87% of kids are graduating high school. I don't really understand how that's possible when kids can't read or do math. So I would really like to know what's going on. Maybe on another time when you guys can comment, you could explain why the numbers are so horrific and why they're so low. Maybe we could get off of equity and teach kids how to be human beings and actually how to balance a checkbook and treat people with respect. Graduation rates have risen every single year while the statistics have fallen. That's just gross. It shouldn't be happening. And then for us to be calling this a success. I have no idea how more kids are graduating while the numbers are falling staggering rates. 80% of kids graduated in 2010. 88% graduated in 2019. But the numbers have fallen 15% in terms of what they can actually do with reading and math. It's scary. 25% of black students can read at levels needed to pass down from 38% in 2010. We're so focused on equity, diversity, inclusivity. I wanna know why the people were focusing on a struggling so much now. Maybe we should stop indoctrinating the kids and educate the kids. - Thank you very much. (audience applauding) - Dr. Michael Huang followed by Marina Gable and then after Ms. Gable will be Carolina Flores. - My name is Michael Huang and I appreciate the opportunity to address the board again. Medicine in education are very similar. I know practice physician at Roseville. We spend a month's money on medicine and we get the poorest care in America. America education saying, we spend the most money and the education we get in most places is not great. I immigrated to this country at age 14 from Taiwan. At age 14

2421 D 04/19/2022 San Juan Unified School District Board of Education 3738 Walnut Avenue, Carmichael, California 95608 Board of Education Minutes April 5, 2022 Regular Meeting Board of Education 4:00 p.m. Open Session/Call to Order (A) The April 5 regular meeting was called to order by the president, Dr. Michael McKibbin. The board meeting was held in person and also livestreamed on the district’s YouTube channel. Roll Call Present: Michael McKibbin, Ed.D., president Zima Creason, vice president Pam Costa, clerk Saul Hernandez, member Paula Villescaz, member (arrived at 4:14 p.m.) Workshop: Governance Transition to Seven Board Members (A-1) Superintendent Kern introduced Chief of Staff Trent Allen who moderated a dialogue regarding the upcoming governance transition from five to seven board members. Mr. Allen explained that the workshop will be split into two broad topical areas for discussion: representing an area and serving the entire district, and logistics and mechanics. The first area of discussion (representing an area and serving the entire district) was broken down into two sub-topics: visiting schools/events and representation and voice. Items discussed were: • Visiting schools and events, including expectations for invitations and RSVPs Board members expressed support for continuing the current practice of all board members being invited to all events throughout the district and sending RSVPs to the board administrative assistant. • Student board reports, including building connections with students in each area and formal/informal voice Mr. Allen explained that by-trustee area elections would allow board members to act as liaisons by meeting with students on a more frequent, informal basis. Superintendent Kern shared information about how the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council has provided him with the opportunity to build relationships with students and to hear student voice. Ms. Creason said she likes the idea of meeting with student representatives, in addition to the high school student council reports during regular board meetings, but she does not want to exclude relationships with students who are outside her trustee area, and she inquired about providing notice to other board members if she meets with students outside of her area. Ms. Costa said informing the other board members is a respectful practice. Mr. Hernandez said he would like to be informed about the outcome of a meeting in his area in the event he has future involvement. Dr. McKibbin supports renewing connections with students in district groups, not just school groups. • Board-appointed committees – selection of committee members, student representation and reporting activities to the board Mr. Allen stated that with the addition of two board members, the size of board-appointed committees will also grow, and

2422 he proposed the concept of board members selecting committee members from their own trustee area versus throughout the entire district. Superintendent Kern spoke about equal representation throughout the district. Ms. Villescaz said she agrees that equal representation is important and should be a priority, but recruitment is a challenge due to the large time commitment that committees require. Ms. Creason said she likes the idea of having representatives from each trustee area, noting that there is talent throughout the district and it should not be limited by area. Mr. Hernandez supports board members selecting committee members from both in and out of their own trustee area, and he spoke about the importance of committee members being able to work effectively, noting that configuration of the Local Control and Accountability Plan Parent Advisory Committee (LCAP PAC) may need to be reexamined. Ms. Costa spoke about the structure of the LCAP PAC and said she agrees with Mr. Hernandez that if the committee was board-appointed, then it may allow for better representation across the district. Dr. McKibbin expressed support for being able to choose the best possible applicants regardless of where they reside, and he encouraged making sure that committee members understand the time commitment and the responsibilities of the committee. Board members also made comments and suggestions related to communicating the role of the committee, recruitment, onboarding and periodic contact with appointees. Mr. Allen then led the board in a discussion on whether students should have a formal or informal role on committees. Board members agreed that if each board member were to each appoint one student to a committee then the size of the committee would become too large and achieving quorum may become a challenge. The board then discussed having one student representative on each committee, either appointed by the board-liaison or through an application process, in order to allow students to have an equal voice and vote. Superintendent Kern noted that student feedback and input is much more robust now than in the past. Mr. Allen asked board members to consider how they would like committees to report to the board. Ms. Villescaz expressed support for consistent written reports, but she is cognizant of not adding more work to the committee. Ms. Creason requested more time to reflect on this topic. Dr. McKibbin supports more committee reports. Ms. Villescaz suggested having a yearly schedule for committee reports. • Board discussion and reports – expectations and norms to provide equal voice and structures to support board members’ reports Board members discussed items related to time limits for board reports, asking technical questions in advance unless it is an item that needs to be discussed publicly, and indicating a desire to speak by turning on the microphone rather than each board member being called on individually. The second area of discussion (logistics and mechanics) was broken down into four sub-topics: participation in graduations, meeting adjustments, requesting agenda items and meeting materials. • Participation in graduations – build connections with students in each area and formal/informal voice Superintendent Kern proposed that board members certify the graduating class rather than giving speeches and that two board members attend each graduation – one in their trustee area and one outside their trustee area. Ms. Villescaz supports certifying the class, rather than making a speech, and she supports attending graduations outside her area. Ms. Costa said she agrees with the proposed changes, noting that student speeches are the most powerful. Ms. Creason noted that her trustee area has two high schools, and she likes the framework but supports flexibility as unexpected issues arise. Mr. Hernandez said he likes giving a speech but supports board members certifying the graduating class, and he supports the idea of attending one graduation in his area and one graduation out of his area. Dr. McKibbin said he enjoys giving a speech at graduation. • Meeting adjustments – time for meetings/adjusting start time and impact on closed session The board discussed adjusting the meeting start time to 6:00 p.m. to allow for more discussion time with the addition of two board members. Ms. Villescaz was not supportive of adjusting the meeting start time due to work commitments, and she noted that regular board meetings typically do not run too late. Mr. Hernandez would like to keep the start time the same for now and take a wait and see approach about the length of the meetings with the addition of two board members. Ms. Creason said she believes public participation is better with a 6:30 p.m. start time, and she noted that shorter agendas might be a way to cut time, if needed, which would also allow for discussing agenda items on a deeper level. Mr. Hernandez appreciates staff giving presentations that cover important information for the community. Ms. Villescaz said she appreciates the lived experiences that are included in presentations. Ms. Costa said she likes the real-life stories and she supports shorter agendas in order to take a deeper dive into topics. Dr. McKibbin reiterated that he enjoys the real-life stories and workshops, which provide a valuable opportunity for the board to talk to each other about development.

2423 • Requesting agenda items – individual member request vs board request for agenda items and staff added agenda items Superintendent Kern explained how some districts require a majority vote of the board to get an item on the future agenda. Ms. Creason said she likes the idea of a majority vote, which offers a transparent process to allow different interests to come to the table and it prevents undo pressure on the board president and superintendent to decide. • Meeting materials – an opportunity to ponder how we can make board packets even more efficient and useful and a variety of services with unique feature sets Mr. Allen explained that staff is in the process of vetting multiple online platforms to allow for board meeting materials to be provided to board members electronically, as well as providing other helpful features for staff and the public such as searching and indexing. Mr. Hernandez talked about the impact of the amount of paper, noting that he prefers receiving supporting documents in a digital format only. Ms. Villescaz supports starting the transition to electronic, while still making it optional to request a paper copy. Ms. Costa said she would like an electronic packet to have the ability for note taking and highlighting. Ms. Creason shared that she supports the transition, would also like the ability for note taking and highlighting, inquired about the technology expectation, and would still like to offer the option to request a printed copy. Dr. McKibbin agreed that it is not necessary to print large supporting documents. Ms. Villescaz expressed support for continuing the norm of governing as a full district related to budget items, which Superintendent Kern said could be addressed as a core statement in the budget book and/or Governance Handbook.
