The meeting is being audio and video recorded and the recording may capture sounds and images of those attending this meeting. The recording will be. The recording. Have any audio on this? - Test, test. - Test, test, test. Can you hear me a little bit? Okay. - Hello. - Okay, thank you folks for your patience as we work through some technology issues. Hopefully the issues are resolved. I will try to take off from where I left. Board meetings are being held in person in the boardroom at the district office, and the community is welcome to attend. The meeting may also be viewed on the district's website where it can be live streamed. Please stand for the presentation of the colors by the Del Campo High School Air Force Junior ROTC. Thank you and much appreciation to the ROTC for their work. Tonight, the San Juan Unified Land acknowledgement will be read. The San Juan Unified School District acknowledges that our schools are located on the ancestral lands of the Nisenan and Miwok peoples who continue to care for this land as they have since time immemorial. We deeply respect their ongoing connection to this land and recognize their resilience in preserving and revitalizing their cultures, traditions despite historical and ongoing challenges. We recognize the profound injustices endured by their ancestors, including genocide, forced assimilation and displacement, and we have remained aware of the ongoing challenges and injustices they face today. As we advance in our commitment to equity and inclusion, we pledge to strengthen our connection by fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and active collaboration with their communities. Thank you. Good evening and welcome. I'm Ben Avey, board president. To my left is Ms. Tanya Kravchuk, vice president. To her left is Mr. Manuel Perez, board clerk. To his left is Ms. Zima Creason, Mr. Nick Bloise, Mr. Abid Stanekzai and Ms. Pam Costa, board members. To my right is Acting Superintendent Trent Allen and to his right is Board Administrative Assistant, Stephanie Cunningham. Individuals who are attending the meeting in person and would like to offer public comment, we ask that you complete a speaker request card available at the staff table and you'll be called on at the appropriate time during the agenda. Please note that board bylaw 9323 limits visitor comments to two minutes per speaker with no more than 30 minutes per single topic. Time will be extended for any speaker who uses an interpreter. Please note that public comments, including your name, become a part of the public record. We will start tonight with our annual organizational meeting. Let's begin with item D1, election of officers. At this time, I would like to ask for nominations for board president. Mr. Perez. - I'd like to nominate Ms. Kravchuk for board president. - Thank you. Ms. Creason? - I'd like to reelect President Avey for president and I'd like a moment to explain why and the rationale behind that. Is that okay for now? - Yes, Mr. Perez, you'll have the same opportunity if you choose. - So, and I wanna speak to the board 'cause I really know that this impacts both of you. So in this, I think it's very, very important in this time of what can seem like instability, I'm sorry I can't look at everybody at the same time, but again, talking to my colleagues. At this time of instability with our superintendent on leave, I think it's important to signal continuity and stability on this dais. In the past, when we've been in unprecedented times of instability, we have held the officer positions as they are. So nobody moved. Everyone stayed as is and I wanna suggest that that happens again today. This happened when I was sitting actually in Mr. Perez's seat. I was clerk, I believe it was Mike McKibben in Trustee Kravchuk's seat. And it was Trustee Paula Villescaz in the presidency. And the rationale behind that was there's just so much instability in the network and that we needed to have some continuity. And I think that that still holds true today with our superintendent being on medical leave. And so for the good of our district and continuity and stability, I think that the leadership team that we've had in place has done a good job and should remain as is through this next year. So my hope is that we can reelect President Avey and I 100% support both of you to remain officers in your current roles. That's my rationale. - Are there any additional nominations? Seeing none. If there are multiple nominations, then, - Second. We'll get to that in just a moment. If there are multiple nominations then we will take the last nomination first, so we go in reverse order. So Ms. Creason was the last nomination. So Ms. Creason has nominated me to be president. Is there a second? Seeing no second, the motion fails. The second nomination was Mr. Perez for Ms. Kravchuk. Is there a second? Seconded by Mr. Bloise. All those in favor say aye. - Aye. All those opposed? - Opposed for those reasons. - Abstentions? The motion carries six to one. Congratulations President Kravchuk. I think we can give her a round of applause. - At this time I would like to ask for nominations for vice president. Mr. Bloise. - I'd like to nominate Manuel Perez for vice president. - Is there a second? Mr. Stanekzai? Are there any more nominations? It has been moved by Mr. Bloise and seconded by Mr. Stanekzai. All those in favor say aye. - Aye. - Any opposed? That was unanimous. At this time I would like to ask for nominations for clerk. - I'd like to nominate Mr. Bloise for clerk. - Is there a second? Mr. Stanekzai? It has been moved by Mr. Perez and seconded by Mr. Stanekzai. All those in favor say aye. - Aye. - Any opposed? - I oppose. - That passes, six-one. Congratulations to the new team. We are at item D2, selection of board committee representatives and alternates. We have one position to fill on the California School Boards Association Delegate Assembly. Mrs. Kravchuk, my term ends on March 31st, 2026. The appointment is for a two year term from April 1st, 2026 through March 31st, 2028. This committee appointment requires a vote.

But if Ms. Kravchuk would like to take on that role, I'm okay with that too. - Sure. - Was that one of those that the board president use usually on? - I think so. But, sorry. - Ms. Creason, are you cont interested in staying on? - Because they meet in December, no, I won't be here. - Okay. - I'd be happy to stay on but I guess I just wanna make sure the board president has the opportunity to join that. - I will join you and Ms. Costa. - Thank you. - So the three of us will be on that.

We are item D6, board member remuneration. Remuneration, sound right? Pay, board pay. I'd like to, before we discuss item D6, I want to remind my fellow board members that under the Ralph M. Brown Act, our discussion must remain limited to the specific item that has been publicly noticed on today's agenda. This ensures transparency for our community and allows the public an opportunity to know what will be discussed and to participate meaningfully. Tonight's agenda item, D6, specifically addresses board compensation as authorized under education code section 35 120. This section allows the board to receive compensation not to exceed 5% of the current compensation rate. Our discussion tonight must stay within the scope of the statute and what has been noticed for public review. There has been recent public interest regarding Assembly Bill 1390 which permits boards to increase compensation beyond the current 5% limit. However, AB 1390 is not on today's agenda and under the Brown Act, we cannot discuss or take action on that legislation this evening. If the board would like to discuss AB 1390 or consider any future adjustments to compensation under that bill, that topic would need to be placed on a future agenda so the public is properly noticed. Staff can return at a future meeting with an agenda item focused specifically on AB 1390 should the board direct that this evening. So for tonight, I ask that all board comments remain focused on the compensation authority under Education code section 35 120 as listed in item D6. This helps ensure our full compliance with the Brown Act and maintains transparency with our community. With that clarification, we will now proceed with item D6, limited to the discussion noticed on tonight's agenda. Board member remuneration is in accordance with board policy 92 50 and the current amount is 787.50 per month. Is there any board discussion? Is there a motion to approve board member remuneration as presented? Mr. Perez, Seconded by Mr. Stanekzai. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? That was unanimous. That concludes the organizational meeting. We are now at item E, approval of the minutes. Are there any corrections to the minutes? Is there a motion to approve the minutes for November 18? Moved by Ms. Costa, seconded by Mr. Avey. All those in favor say aye. - Aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? Okay. Abstained by Mr. Perez. The motion passes six-zero with one abstention. We are at item F1, high school student council reports. Tonight, we will hear from student representatives by Bella Vista High School and El Camino Fundamental High School. Let's begin with Nina Juderom and Carolyn Herd from Bella Vista. - All right, good evening, President Kravchuk, members of the board, Superintendent Allen and Executive Assistant Ms. Cunningham. Our names are Nina Juderom and- - Carolyn Herd and we're representatives is Bella Vista. - We would like to discuss the accomplishments we have made so far this school year. Firstly, we want to mention our school theme for the 2025-2026 school year, 'Be present, be proud, and be a Bronco.' This theme represents embracing the world around you, making a positive difference and representing Bella Vista with a bright outlook. Being a Bronco means participating in school events, clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities. It means supporting our peers and showing up to games, concerts, recitals, and fun events. Bella Vista students are connected and we try to make sure every student has a sense of belonging on our campus. We had our club day in August, which included 67 clubs with diverse interests. We have several clubs for academic support, spreading cultural awareness, community service, career interests, and many more. Our club day was overall very successful and hundreds of students connected with their campus. - We also wanted to share a bit about our Student Culture Council that we have formed at Bella Vista. This is a group of presidents from our various culture based clubs on campus. This includes the Black Student Union, Latinx Student Union, Multicultural Club, Polynesian Club, Lavender Club, and the Asian Student Union. We have met with these clubs and discussed how our student government can support them through funding or advertisement for any cultures based activities that they would like to host on our campus. Our Japanese Honor Society hosted an onigiri action event where students were invited to make rice balls in support of raising awareness for world hunger. We had students host a dream catcher making event in honor of Native American Heritage Month. And just today, we helped our Black Student Union host a craft activity at lunch celebrating Kwanza. And we feel that all these efforts help students connect to their campus. - Bella Vista successfully held our homecoming dance in September themed Pixel Paradise. Each class was given a video game and created a parade float to correspond with the theme. During homecoming week, students dressed up each day. There was a night rally at which class royalty was announced and there were games for class competitions. We had our homecoming football game where our homecoming floats, handcrafted by each student government class, were demonstrated in a parade style and our junior class was voted the best float with their amazing design representing Sonic the Hedgehog. - Another fun event we had in our campus was our Halloween Extravaganza. Our student government hosted local elementary school students ages zero to 10 at a fun, low cost game night in our gymnasium. Volunteers from student government in our AVID program worked the game booths, gave out candy and we also ran a haunted house. This annual tradition helps bring our community together and reinforce a sense of togetherness during the Halloween season. - In November, we held our first of two blood drives this school year. We were able to donate 29 units of blood with 14 first time donors. Many students look forward to donating at our next blood drive in March. Just two weeks ago, our junior class hosted a school wide winter ball that was themed, Under the Northern Lights. This semi-formal dance was widely enjoyed by the student body and it got people excited about our Cupid's ball coming up this February, which is our sophomore class fundraiser. BV hosts six dances a year, which is a lot of work, but we have great involvement with no less than 500 students at every dance. Currently we are doing a canned food drive where first period classes are competing to raise the highest number of cans and the top three classes will earn Panda Express lunch catered by student government. This coming semester, we are excited to roll out No Phone Friday where we are challenging students to leave their phones at home the first Friday every month in the second semester. The hope is that students will have fewer distractions, more peer interaction and overall engagement. Some students may even feel how liberating it is and choose to disconnect more often. We'll also be welcoming a guest speaker for an assembly regarding mental health in January. Bella Vista has suffered a very hard loss In November with a passing of a sophomore student on our campus, Taylor Knowlton. BV staff and our counseling department jumped into action to help support our student body and teachers during this difficult time. We had a memorial on campus where kids could write memories or messages in honor of Taylor. Our Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Faith Club hosted a school wide prayer for those who chose to participate. It was a very hard time for our student body to go through and we are still working through the emotions and lessons to learn from this experience. And it has strengthened our resolve to be kinder and look out for one another. - All of these events and activities truly sum up what it means to be a Bronco, to support and love each other. We hope that everyone takes more time to care for themselves and those around them. Thank you for listening. (audience applauding) - Thank you. Do any board members have any questions or comments? Mr. Avey? - Well, hello. And first off, both to you and the students from El Camino, thank you for your patience. Usually the student reports come a lot sooner in the program, but as you saw, we had to take care of some business, so we appreciate you. So first off, I know we are in the holiday season, but I do want to go back to Halloween and the Halloween Extravaganza. I've taken my kids to that for many years and the haunted house actually inspired my son to become a haunted house fanatic. I now lose my garage starting in September as he prepares his haunted house. If you haven't taken your kids to it before, please do so. The games are very, very family friendly and as the kids get older, they can kind of grow into the haunted house because it's actually pretty scary. It kind of freaks out the high school students, but it's a great progression. So very well done on that. Literally, I can name one kid that it literally changed his life, so thank you. And then also just the 500 students per dance. I feel like that really speaks to a good culture at the school where you have a culture of participation, a culture of engagement, which I think is absolutely critical to student success and students feeling that they have a sense of community. So please do continue with all the work that leads to that. I did, and Ms. Kravchuk may ask the same question, I wanted to ask about No Phone Friday. As you've noticed, I don't know if you know this, but the school board is considering cell phone policies in schools, so tell me more. Was this student driven? Where did this come from? - Okay, so this is actually my idea that I came up with. Just a little bit of background. I left my phone in my car, just like randomly, and I was just like talking to people. Like I was like, "This is great. People should do this more often." So I talked to our student government advisor about it. She's like, "That's a great idea." So we came up with Phone Free Friday and we negotiated it to the first Friday of every month and it's kind of like a New Year's resolution type idea. And I personally, I'm gonna participate and we're trying to get our student government to participate in it. But yeah, we kind of like talked about it in our announcements and kids were like, "What? Like that's stupid." I'm like, "You don't need it. Like it's gonna be fine. You're gonna be okay." But yeah, that's kind of how we came up with it. - Well I think any feedback you get on it, any information, I'm sure if you spoke with your principal, I'm sure the board would be interested in that information as we consider our policy, so thank you. - Any other board comments or questions? Ms. Creason. - Thank you for your report and I just love that you used your voice of lived experience to make real change in your school community. That was an awesome story. And I just wanna acknowledge, Taylor, thank you for saying your name and I ask that we adjourn in her honor tonight, please? My heart's with you and I'm
