6 MINUTES 12-14-2021 Motion #109 Vote: MSCU, LaBelle/Smollen, (5/0), the Board approved the Minutes of the Regular Board Meeting on December 14, 2021 as presented Ayes: Smollen, LaBelle, Jubran, Bagdasaryan, and Blough Noes: None Absent: None Abstained: None COMMUNICATIONS: PUBLIC COMMENTS The following comments were submitted in writing, and we also had nineteen people who provided comments via Zoom. The following comments were submitted in writing via email: 1. Margarita Assael – “This attack on a father and his son for refusing to comply with unlawful, unhealthy, and unconstitutional demands is beyond my belief. ALL CHILDREN are to be educated. The compliance of the school district to a "mandate" (which is NOT A LAW) in which a student and his father (who is a taxpayer for your wages) is in itself TYRANNY. You have no rights over any child or its family beliefs. Your job is to teach and protect while the child is in your school. This child is NOT A DANGER to anyone because he is unmasked. This is shameful. You govern at the consent of WE THE PEOPLE.” 2. David Assael – “I feel like I am in Nazi Germany with people being forced to wear armbands. It is outrageous that you would refuse to let an innocent young child attend school for not following a "mandate". A mandate is not a law. Studies across the nation show that masks don't work. The hole size in the material is just too large to prevent a "virus" from going in or out. In fact, masks are breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, fungus and mold and also stunt the emotional growth of children. Why be so cruel to do this to a child, any child? Then to threaten the father trying to discuss the incident with his child just outside the school doors is both childish and a bullying tactic. Calling the police and child protective services? Your job is to teach our children how to read, write and know how to do arithmetic. Wearing masks interferes with that job and does harm, not good. Respectfully.” 3. Sondra Ah Tye – “My name is Sondra Ah Tye, and am a resident of Simi Valley for many years, having gone through elementary to high school education here. I appreciate the opportunity to express my concerns as a mother and grandmother. I am extremely concerned about what I consider extreme government overreach in what is being force-fed to our children. Our children are at a critical age where thoughts and opinions are being developed. We parents and grandparents are responsible for and should have a say on what they are being taught to ensure that they are in alignment with what we hold as truths and what we believe is healthy. Critical race theory is divisive and teaches our kids to disrespect and even hate America due to an untrue and perverted interpretation and narrative, that I believe is purposely created to destroy America from within.

7 We treasure our children and take our responsibility to speak up and speak out as necessary and it has never been as necessary as today. This includes what books they are being told to read which causes confusion regarding their gender, and includes perverse sexual content. There is also a strong move to remove God from our schools which we will NOT tolerate. As our elected officials, we remind you that you have been elected to represent our voices and concerns, not to cave to government overreach even if it means financial or other repercussions. Please do the right thing! Do not violate your own consciences. We are not domestic terrorists. We are simply being good stewards of the most important gifts we have ever been given. We will not allow family units to be replaced by government control. We take our children back!! In GOD we trust!! Thank you.” Public Comments given via Zoom: 1. Elaina Johnson – against wearing a mask for a student at Garden Grove. 2. Don Brodt - cited different codes about why students should not wear a mask. 3. Jeff – against officials telling people what to do on vaccination. He stated that it is all a scam. 4. Emily – spoke against a child being segregated at Garden Grove Elementary. 5. Alexis Brubaker - Spoke about a student, Ryan White, who was discriminated against because he contracted AIDS in 1984. 6. Wanda – spoke against the child who was not admitted at school because he was not wearing a mask. 7. Lori Mills – spoke about an issue she brought in November 2021 about a display of books at RHS. She spoke about books she purchased who have not been put on display yet. 8. Timothy Hernandez – Camden Hernandez addressed the Board against Dr. Youssef.

Dr. Hani Youssef would have to be considered one of the most outstanding, well-rounded educators that I was able to work with over the years. He is a bright, articulate, intelligent, caring, and positive individual who truly understands how to work with all his constitutes. His ability to listen to all the shareholders and then evaluate all aspects of an issue before he acts is outstanding. Dr. Hani Youssef will be an outstanding Superintendent with many very positive qualities.

The Simi Valley Unified School District will flourish under his leadership.” Trustee Jubran shared the following statement: • Wished everyone a Happy New Year!! • Thanked everyone who spoke tonight. • Wished the students, teachers and staff the best New Year, and asked everyone to make the best of it.
