REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD 10.a Public Communications on Agenda Items

Board of Education 291 Regular Meeting – June 2, 2022 The Board unanimously agreed to take all public speakers during the first section of Requests to Address the Board. Caroline Solberg, parent and community member, spoke about the District’s Master Plans and about the history of the District’s GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Program, pointing out that GATE students are the least-funded subgroup of students. She said the District is doing a better job of identifying GATE students and emphasized the importance of parent education to help fill in for the gaps in funding. She suggested that more Professional Development be provided to help prepare staff to work with GATE students, who make up 10% of the District’s student population. She asked the Board to consider having two .2 FTE positions, one for elementary and one for secondary. Katherine Fagnani, Monterey High School student, spoke about her fervent desire to retain the existing class schedule, which she feels is an important component in the success of many MHS students. She advocated for a middle ground which would include an 8:30 start time with the day ending at 1:30 instead of making the changes proposed and adding a 40-minute lunch period. 10.b Staff Responses Superintendent Hill thanked the speakers for their advocacy. He said that funding and budget discussions would be ongoing. He said that the Monterey High School schedule has not yet been brought to the Board. 10.c Board Members’ Responses Member Frintner thanked the speakers and said that Ms. Solberg has been the most vocal advocate for the District’s GATE program and that her suggestions are worth considering. He thanked Ms. Fagnani for her advocacy on behalf of Monterey students. Member Aghakhanian thanked the speakers and said that visual aids do help. He thanked Ms. Fagnani for her wonderful report and said that they need to make sure they are doing the best for all their students. He spoke about some of the events he has attended, including various graduation ceremonies, and recognized some of his family members who had also recently graduated. Member Weisberg wished everyone a happy Pride Month. She thanked Ms. Solberg for her advocacy and said that much of what Ms. Solberg talked about reminded her of the District’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) work. She said that the Board and staff do not yet know how the MHS schedule issue will be resolved, but said she met with the MHS leadership team to try to understand the MHS schedule. She said she feels that the District could improve their communication with students regarding topics like this. She spoke about the tragic school shooting that happened in Uvalde, Texas, and read out the names of the 21 people who were killed. She spoke about her work with Burbank Councilmember Nick Schultz on gun safety and gun control in Burbank. She encouraged people to reach out to City Council and to weigh in at the next City Council Meeting. Vice President Ferguson thanked Member Weisberg for reading out the names of the students and teachers who lost their lives. He thanked Ms. Solberg for her comments and said that he realizes the GATE program has been underfunded and that he believes these students do deserve more. He said that he does not yet hear a solution to the situation that Ms. Fagnani has highlighted with regard to the proposed schedule change at MHS. He pointed out that many MHS students need to leave school earlier in the day to go to jobs to help support their families. He commented on the situation of out-of-control gun violence and he questions why City Council is potentially going to act to approve “a 17th gun store in

Board of Education 292 Regular Meeting – June 2, 2022 Burbank.” He said we owe it to future generations to do something about this issue. He suggested that this issue should be part of the discussion at the Joint BUSD/City Council Meeting scheduled for July 19th. Member Weisberg said that legislators are turning to schools to try to figure out the solutions and provided some examples of why some of the proposed school-based solutions have been proven not to work. She encouraged people to beg our elected officials to do something to alleviate this situation. Member Aghakhanian talked about growing up during the Iran-Iraq war and how traumatizing that was so he can imagine how traumatizing this is for the students who have been affected by gun violence. He also said he was begging our legislators to do something. He also suggested this topic should be a priority in the upcoming Joint Meeting. Member Frintner said that it was difficult for him this evening to be in Austin, Texas, where so many legislators are opposed to commonsense gun solutions. He also spoke about his belief that some of the proposed solutions, such as hardening schools, are not workable and will instead turn schools into prisons, and do nothing to address the proliferation of guns and the ease with which people in American can obtain them. He questioned why the City of Burbank has found a way to exclude some types of businesses but not others. He agreed this needs to be topic number one during the Joint Meeting. President Tabet said she was going to take the easy way out and not address this topic but in listening to the other speakers she found herself getting more and more angry. She questions why those who are charged with protecting people have less powerful weapons than those perpetrating these horrific crimes. She said that community members have to step up and practice better communication, be on the lookout for situations that seem unsafe, and when “you see something, say something.” 11. REPORTS TO THE BOARD 11.a Report from Burbank Council PTA for the 2021-2022 School Year Charlene Tabet, President, Board of Education, introduced Lori Little, Burbank Council PTA President, and members of the PTA leadership team, who provided an update on the activities of the Burbank Council PTA for the 2021-2022 school year.
