Analysis : At the Regular meeting on November 18, 2021, the Board approved a resolution as required by California Assembly Bill (AB) 361 to permit Board of Education Meetings to continue to be conducted by teleconference while the COVID-19 emergency remains in place. On March 17, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended and modified the teleconferencing requirements under the Brown Act so that legislative bodies can hold public meetings via teleconference (with audio or video communications, without a physical meeting location), as long as the meeting agenda identifies the teleconferencing procedures to be used. California AB 361 was signed into law on September 16, 2021, and amended Government Code, Section 54953. AB 361 has several requirements to make sure that the public is able to virtually attend and make public comments during the teleconferenced public meetings, including: The Board must provide notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option; The Board cannot take further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored; Prohibiting the Board from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time; and Prohibiting the Board from closing the public comment period until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed. In order to implement AB 361, the Board must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules: The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and Either of the following circumstances exist: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person; or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.

If the grant is successful, the District will receive fiscal and technical support in providing Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) and services for students in Grades 6-12, for three years from 2023 through 2026. This MOU describes the required activities of Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and members of the Los Angeles County Tobacco Consortium in providing TUPE programs.

Consent Items Subject 5.05.h - Contracts and Agreements - Approve Memorandum of Understanding between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, to provide parent and student workshops, from February 25, through May 31, 2023. (Dr. Jiménez) Meeting Feb 23, 2023 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve Memorandum of Understanding between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, to provide parent and student workshops, from February 25, through May 31, 2023. Analysis : Founded in 1974, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) is the nation’s largest association dedicated to fostering Hispanic leadership in the STEM field. SHPE offers all pre-college, undergraduate, graduate, and professional members the necessary resources to support SHPE’s mission. SHPE’s mission is to change lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support, and development. SHPE’s vision is a world where Hispanics are highly valued and influential as the leading innovators, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. SHPE's corporate offices are located in the City of Industry. SHPE has supported many students through internships and scholarships and have connected them to various companies within their network. SHPE has identified the District, along with two other large school systems in Texas and Florida, to partner with for the pilot program, respectively. This pilot will provide the parents with SHPE’s “Equipando Padres” (Equipping Parents) program, which supports caregivers to better help their children as they earn engineering degrees. Studies show that parent support is critical to student success and college education completion. However, parents of first-generation students are often not able to provide the support needed, as they may not have the experience and resources that could best help their children navigate college challenges. The parent workshops are made possible through funding support partnership that SHPE has with Raytheon Technologies, a leading aerospace and defense company, whose goals are to create a strategic partnership aimed at equipping the parents of first-generation and low socio-economic status engineering students to provide instrumental support for their students. SHPE also has a funding partnership with Meta to offer the Code Remix program to our District High School students that participate in these workshops. These sessions will run concurrently with the Equipando Padres pilot. Code Remix with Meta brings block coding to students 13 years old and older.

This year, the event will be held on March 22, 2023, with its theme, “Partners For Student Success.” The program is designed to bring community leaders from business and industry into the schools of the area to partner with school administrators. Guest principals participate in student conferences and classroom visitations in order to “walk the walk” of the site principal’s day. “Principal for a Day” has helped establish a more positive image of our schools, shows the depth of the needs of our students, and promotes an attitude of joint cooperation and responsibility for our students, the future leaders in our society.

Chávez Day, March 31, 2023.” Analysis : César Estrada Chávez, the late founder and president of the United Farm Workers of America, had deep confidence in the ability of people to move mountains of injustice. In fact, under his leadership, farm workers moved the agribusiness mountain and won the first union contracts for agricultural workers in the grape fields. The Mexican American labor leader was a humble man who gave of himself unselfishly to the cause of farm workers and all workers. He championed the cause of equality for Latinos like no one else. His courage in the face of some of our nation’s most powerful industries inspired generations of all races and nationalities to fight the good fight. Millions followed César Chávez on his journey, which won monumental gains for farm workers, for civil rights, political representation for racial minorities and environmental justice. These achievements place him as one of the most outstanding leaders of the twentieth century. The state of California recognized that legacy when Governor Gray Davis signed into law the creation of an official state holiday, which will be celebrated starting in 2001, on César Chávez’s birthday March 31. Board of Education recognizes the accomplishments and example of César Chávez. Budget Implications : None Submitted by: Dr. Alfonso Jiménez Superintendent File Attachments 2.23.23 Cesar E.

Analysis : American women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made critical economic, cultural, and social contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation. Women have been a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home and providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of the Nation. American women of every race, class, and ethnic backgrounds served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement and were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation. American women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, and have served our country courageously in the military. T he contributions and diversity of American women deserve to be amplified, valued, and studied in American history: In March, District schools will have activities and classroom lessons that celebrate the countless and invaluable contributions of women throughout history.
