GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A BLESSED DAY. MY NAME IS KAYLA THOMAS AND I AM VICTOR'S ASB EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING OUR BOARD MEMBERS AND DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT AND DIRECTORS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS UPDATES TO VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. THE NEWLY PLACED TURF HAS BEEN A PLEASANT ADDITION, LEADING TO MANY STUDENT PICNICS, ACTIVITIES, AND A FEW NAPS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE REMAINING UPDATES WE KNOW ARE PLANNED.

CURRENTLY, WE ARE AT 96% TESTED AND COUNTING. AP TESTING IS CURRENTLY ON CAMPUS WITH ONE MORE WEEK TO GO. OUR HERITAGE PROGRAM IS BOASTING SOME HUGE ACHIEVEMENTS THIS YEAR. TWO YEARS AGO, OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN SENIORS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE FOR UC AND CAL STATES WAS ONLY AT 23.7%. TWO YEARS LATER, THAT NUMBER SITS AT 61%. WE. WE STARTED THIS YEAR WITH 36 LEVEL ONE SENIORS AND WERE ABLE TO MOVE NINE MORE UP TO LEVEL ONE.WE ENTERED THIS YEAR WITH 22 SENIORS AT LEVEL FOUR, AND IT BRINGS US SO MUCH JOY TO SAY.
ALL 22 HAVE MOVED UP TO LEVEL THREE AND WILL BE RECEIVING THEIR DIPLOMAS. WE LEAD OFF. WE LEAD OFF OUR END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH SENIOR ACTIVITIES, WITH A DECISION DAY CELEBRATION ON MAY 1ST. ALL SENIORS WHO COMMITTED TO FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITIES WERE INVITED, ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES TO A PRESENTATION WITH PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES AND REFRESHMENTS.
IT WAS A WONDERFUL WAY TO RECOGNIZE THESE HARD WORKING SENIORS. WHILE THIS HAS BEEN AN EVENT ON OUR CAMPUS FOR MANY YEARS, THIS WAS BY FAR THE BIGGEST RECOGNIZING FOR MOST SENIORS. OUR SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT WOULD BE ON TUESDAY, MAY 20TH AT HIGH DESERT CHURCH. WE WILL BE HONORING OUR ACADEMIC HONOR STUDENTS, OUR COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS, WINNERS, OUR CTE PATHWAYS, COMPLETIONS, AND MANY OTHER STUDENTS THAT HAVE WORKED SO HARD THESE LAST FOUR YEARS.

OUR STUNT TEAM FINISHED THIRD IN LEAGUE AND QUALIFIED FOR CIF AND ITS VERY FIRST SEASON. WE HAVE TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES ATTENDING CIF THIS WEEKEND. OUR SPRING SPORTS BANQUET WILL BE HELD TUESDAY, MAY 13TH TO HONOR OUR HARD WORKING ATHLETES. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND ANYONE AT VICTOR VALLEY WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME THESE LAST FOUR YEARS. I HAVE BEEN EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT FOR TWO YEARS, AND IT HAS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO STAND HERE TODAY. AND FOR ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOWING THAT I WILL GRADUATE, I'M MORE THAN THANKFUL FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT DOCTOR YEE AND MR. COATS HAS GIVEN ME OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS, AND I STAND HERE TODAY THANKFUL FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK AND CONGRATULATE THE NEW PRINCIPAL AT VICTOR. JUST SEEING HIM. I KNOW IT IS MUCH MORE TO COME AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE PROSPERITY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING TO VICTOR. I WISH NONE OF YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST, AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT AND LOVE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME. HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT.
AWESOME JOB. I THINK. SO. IF YOU WISH TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON ANY TOPIC, INCLUDING ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE BOARD PRESIDENT BY COMPLETING A REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE BOARD CARD PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND SUBMITTING IT TO THE ASSISTANT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. THE PRESIDENT WILL RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO DESIRE TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OR THE AGENDA BEFORE THE PARTICULAR ITEM. EACH SPEAKER SHOULD MOVE QUICKLY TO THE MICROPHONE AND ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR PRESENTATIONS.
MEETINGS ARE TAPED FOR LATER TRANSCRIPTION. EACH SPEAKER IS ALLOCATED A MAXIMUM OF THREE MINUTES. THE PRESIDENT MAY CHOOSE TO LIMIT EACH TOPIC TO TEN, NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. IF SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WISH TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON ONE TOPIC, TESTIMONY SHOULD BE BRIEF AND TO THE POINT. SPEAKERS SHOULD NOT REPEAT TESTIMONY ALREADY PRESENTED. BOARD ACTION MAY NOT LEGALLY BE TAKEN ON ANY ITEM NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED ON THE AGENDA. THE BOARD MAY ASK THAT SUCH ITEMS BE PLACED ON THE NEXT AGENDA FOR CONSIDERATION. TESTIMONY IS NOT PROTECTED FROM DAMAGE. CLAIMS FOR SLANDER, PUBLIC CHARGES OR ALLEGATIONS MAY RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION BEING BROUGHT BY THOSE INDIVIDUALS. WHO NEEDS A SPEAKER. OKAY, FIRST PERSON IS BRIANNA HUNT. HI, GUYS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. HI. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. SINCE LAST TIME I
[00:40:06]
WAS HERE, I WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH DOCTOR YEE AND LARRY. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND LET ME TELL YOU, SHE IS DEDICATED. YOU GUYS. IT WAS THE DAY AFTER HER MARATHON. SHE WAS THERE IN HEELS. I WAS LIKE, NOT MY STYLE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN GETTING AN IV, MAYBE A MASSAGE, BUT SHE WAS THERE, WILLING TO LISTEN. SO I UNLOADED ON HER FOR LIKE A SOLID HOUR ON ALL THE THINGS. AND WE WILL SEE WHERE THAT TAKES US. I STILL STAND BY WHAT I SAID PREVIOUSLY. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I DON'T THINK SPED IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF BUILDING MASTER SCHEDULES, AND OVERALL, THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS IS BASED OFF OF HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED IEPS WRITTEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, NOT NECESSARILY THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE. BUT OVERALL, I DO THINK THAT WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AND I REALLY DO THINK THAT, AS NATALIE SAID LAST TIME, AND I WROTE THIS DOWN IN MY PHONE SO I WOULDN'T FORGET, SHE SAID, WE'RE NOT HEROES, WE'RE DOERS. AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT. AND I WANTED TO SAY THAT. DOCTOR, YOU TALKED ABOUT HER. THE JOB LIKES THAT LARRY'S BROUGHT IN IN HER PRESENTATION, AND WE SURVEYED OUR SPED TEACHERS. OVER TWO THIRDS OF THEM RESPONDED, WHICH IS LIKE, YAY! AND OVER 75% OF THE PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT THOSE BEING MANDATORY EVERY YEAR. SO WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF GROWTH. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO SEE ME UP HERE COMPLAINING DURING SUMMER. THANK YOU. AND NEXT WE HAVE JESSICA BARRIENTOS.OKAY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M A PARENT FROM UNIVERSITY PREP AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ME, BUT I WAS HERE ON MARCH 7TH OF THIS YEAR AND AFTER BEING HERE ON MARCH 8TH, MY SON WAS DENIED TO DO AN EVENT FROM ASB. OKAY, TO ME, THAT WAS TOTALLY RETALIATION. HE WAS DENIED TO DO AN EVENT BECAUSE ON WEDNESDAY HE DIDN'T GET A PAPER. HE DIDN'T GET A PAPER BECAUSE HE WAS AT A SCHOOL EVENT, A TRACK AND FIELD EVENT. OKAY. BUT THE ASB TEACHER DENIED HIM THE PAPER ON THURSDAY AND SAID, ALEX ASKED, CAN I GET THE PAPER? AND SHE SAID NO. WHEN ALEX ASKED WHY, HER ANSWER WAS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE TEACHER SAID, HEY, FOR ALL OF YOU THAT GOT YOUR PAPER ON WEDNESDAY, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GET A SIGN ON THE FRIDAY MORNING, YOU GUYS CAN.
WELL, ALEX DID JUST THAT. AND WHAT HAPPENED? HE WAS THE ONLY STUDENT THAT WAS DENIED ACCESS TO THE BLOOD DRIVE EVENT. WHEN HE IS THE ONE IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC SOUND. OKAY? WE CAME TO THE DISTRICT. WE TALKED. WE TALKED TO DOCTOR YEE. OBVIOUSLY NOTHING HAPPENED. ALEX WAS COMPLETELY DENIED TO DOING THE EVENT. BUT THE THING WAS, YOU SHOULD HAVE MANAGED YOUR TIME BETTER. OKAY? HE LEARNED TO DO THAT. HE APPLIED TO BE AN ASB PRESIDENT. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THE THREE CANDIDATES WHO DID ALL THE PAPERWORK IN TIME. GUESS WHAT? ONE OF THE CANDIDATES TURNING HIS PAPER LEAD AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THE EXCUSE WAS? OH, HE'S A BASEBALL PLAYER. OH, BUT THE ASB APPLICATIONS WERE UP FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND A HALF. NOT A DAY LIKE WHEN HE GOT DENIED TO DO HIS ASB EVENT. OKAY, SO WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? ARE THE RULES ONLY APPLYING TO ALEX BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. ALEX BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PRINCIPAL AND THE VICE PRINCIPAL, AND BOTH TRY TO IGNORE HIM. THAT WAS ON I THINK, THIS WEEK. AND THEY SAW US TAKING POSTERS DOWN BECAUSE ELECTION CAMPAIGN HAD TO END AT 4:30 P.M. OF TUESDAY. ALEX DID JUST THAT AND THEY SAW HIM TAKING THE CAMPAIGN DOWN. THE OTHER CANDIDATES DIDN'T TAKE IT DOWN, SO AN EMAIL WAS SENT IN THE MORNING OF WEDNESDAY THAT ALL CAMPAIGNS POSTER HAD TO BE DONE BY 415 TO ME. IS THAT FAIR? NO. JUST BY DOING THAT. OKAY. YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.
MISS HATCHER NEVER ANSWERS MY EMAILS. SHE THE WAY SHE WORKS WITH ME IS IGNORING ME. YOU KNOW THAT. THAT'S THE WAY THAT SHE DOES IT WHEN IT COMES. WHEN I ASK QUESTIONS FOR ALEX. OH, BUT BECAUSE ALEX, I THINK, LEFT 1 OR 2 POSTERS UP THAT MAYBE HE MISSED BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT ON PURPOSE. BECAUSE SHE SAW HER AND MISS CABALLERO SAW US TAKING IT DOWN. THEN SHE TOOK PICTURES OF IT AND SHE ANSWERED THE EMAIL. ALEX WAS POSTERS WERE UP TOO, SO I REPLIED TO IT. NO, MAYBE ONE.
AND HE MISSED IT BECAUSE YOU SAW IT. BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT NOW YOU REPLY TO THE EMAIL BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AGAINST ALEX. CAMPAIGN HAD TO FINISH AT 430 OF TUESDAY. THE OTHER STUDENT RUNNING AGAINST HIM POSTED SOMETHING ON THE MORNING OF AND I'M OKAY. MY SON
[00:45:05]
LOST AND THAT'S COMPLETELY FINE. BUT WHEN YOU LOSE FAIR THEN YOU DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. ALEX BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION THAT IT'S STILL CAMPAIGN WAS GOING ON. ON THAT WEDNESDAY, THEY HAD HIM WRITE A REPORT FOR WHAT IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? I AM TIRED, I AM REALLY TIRED THAT THE RULES ONLY APPLY TO HIM. AND YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE ALEX IS A KID THAT ASKS QUESTIONS. ALEX IS A KID THAT WHEN THEY TELL HIM, WHY ISN'T YOU SURE? TALK TO HIM ON A SPIRIT DAY, OKAY? NOT ON A REGULAR DAY BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY DISCIPLINARY ISSUES AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, BECAUSE I SAY SO. AND HE GOES, BUT LAST TIME WE WERE ALLOWED TO HAVE IT OUT.WHY IS THAT THIS TIME DIFFERENT? ONLY BECAUSE ALEX IS A PERSON THAT DOESN'T SHUT HIMSELF. AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, HE TALKS AND HE ASKS QUESTIONS AND HE'S LIKE THAT AT HOME TOO. THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE ALWAYS GET PUSHED DOWN. AT UNIVERSITY PREP. MY SON TOLD ME ON TUESDAY, IT HURTS TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL. IT HURTS PEOPLE. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? BECAUSE I'M TIRED, OKAY. WITH MY DAUGHTER, IT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT IT WAS KIND OF THE SAME ISSUE.
BUT MY DAUGHTER DIDN'T CARE. ALEX DOES CARE AND WE ARE FAIR PEOPLE AND WE LIKE FAIRNESS ACROSS THE BOARD. HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCEDURE WOULD HAVE BEEN AND IF ELECTION HAD TO BE STOPPED, IF THE KID WHO WAS NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE ELECTION, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THE POINT IS THAT HERE AGAIN, THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP.
ALEX. I KNOW I HAVE BEEN EMAILING YOU. WHAT? I HAVE BEEN EMAILING THEM. I HAVEN'T GOT AN ANSWER FROM ANY OF YOU. LIKE I SAID, EVEN FROM MISS HATCHER, ONLY WHEN SHE HAD SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT ALEX. I'M TIRED, I AM. I'M A PARENT BEFORE EVERYTHING. BUT I ALSO WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I USE MY TIME BEFORE OR AFTER WORK TO TALK ABOUT MY SON'S ISSUES, BUT RETALIATION HAS BEEN COMING NOT ONLY TO HIM, BUT NOT TO ME AS AN EMPLOYEE, BECAUSE SHE ALREADY GAVE ME WHAT'S CALLED A TWO DAY NOTICE THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS, BUT I'LL FIND OUT ABOUT IT TOMORROW. OKAY, BUT MY QUESTION TO YOU ALL IS WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LET MISS HATCHER CONTINUE WITH THIS? HOLD ON. LET ME THINK OF THE RIGHT WORD.
ALEX, HELP ME IN SPANISH INTIMIDATION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES. SHE INTIMIDATES YOU WHEN YOU SHE'S NOT OKAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. SHE INTIMIDATES YOU. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT. AND IF WE SAY WE DON'T, WE KNOW WE'RE NOT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES. VALERIE HATCHER WORKS UNDER INTIMIDATION NOT ONLY TO HER STUDENT. THAT IS THE WORST PART, BUT TO US TOO AS PARENTS.
LAST TIME SHE WALKED OUT ON ME ON A ON A MEETING AS A PARENT, SHE DIDN'T LET ME SPEAK AND THAT'S WHY I WAS HERE. NOW, SHE DIDN'T GIVE A FAIR CHANCE TO MY SON TO RUN. AND LIKE I, I, I WROTE AN EMAIL TODAY AFTER MY WORKING HOURS. WE ALL KNEW YOU DIDN'T WANT HIM TO WIN BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT. BUT TO MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS, TO MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS, THAT'S SO UNFAIR. AND YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY MY SON, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS, I GUESS, LIKE WE SAY IN SPANISH, YOU KNOW, TO TALK ABOUT HER. I WAS JUST AT SCHOOL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S GOING ON. WHAT'S IT CALLED? A CONCERT IN ALEX ESTATE AFTER HOURS TO SET UP THE SYSTEM. I HAD A PARENT THAT TOLD ME I'M SCARED OF HER. IS THAT WHAT WE WANT? DO WE WANT PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS TO BE SCARED OF THE PRINCIPAL? DO WE WANT THAT FOR OUR KIDS? YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS TELL MY KIDS THAT A SCHOOL WAS THE SAFEST PLACE TO GO AFTER HOME, AND DISCOVERY TAUGHT ME THAT, THAT IT WAS A SAFE PLACE FOR HIM TO BE. BUT UP. YES, IT TEACHES ME THAT IT'S A SAFE PLACE WHERE THERE ARE NO FIGHTS. WELL, WE CAN'T SAY THERE IS NO BULLYING BECAUSE THERE IS. BUT WITH THEIR MIND THEY PLAY TOO MUCH WITH THEIR HEADS. AND IT IS WHEN KIDS SPEAK UP. SO I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PUT THIS HERE. AND I KNOW THIS TIME THE CAMERA IS WORKING BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF IT.
AND TOMORROW I'LL FIND OUT WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY TO ME AS AN EMPLOYEE. BUT TODAY I'M HERE AS A PARENT AND AS A PARENT. I HAD ENOUGH, AND MY SON STILL HAS ONE MORE YEAR FOR HER. THE EASY ANSWER IS ALWAYS WHAT? HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HERE. SHE HAS TOLD ME THAT TWICE ALREADY. FOR HER, THAT'S THE EASY ANSWER. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HERE. WELL GUESS WHAT? HE CHOOSES TO BE THERE AND HE HAS TO BE TREATED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR TODAY. AND I'M GOING TO CONTINUE COMING UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. IF VALERIE HATCHER SO WONDERFUL.
LET'S TAKE HER TO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PROVE US THAT SHE'S THAT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S THAT GOOD. SHE'S GOOD HERE BECAUSE THESE KIDS ARE AMAZING. BUT YOU KNOW WHY? THEY'RE AMAZING? BECAUSE US PARENTS TELL HER. TELL THEM. HEY, YOU CAN GET KICKED OUT. THANK YOU, BABY GIRL, FOR. YEAH, BECAUSE WE TELL THEM YOU CAN GET KICKED OUT. WE ARE THE ONES THAT PUT THE PRESSURE ON OUR KIDS.
IT'S NOT HER. THOSE TEST SCORES IS THANKS TO US THAT DEDICATE TIME TO OUR KIDS, FOR THEM TO
[00:50:02]
STUDY, FOR THEM TO WAKE UP EARLY. THAT IS US PARENTS FIRST THE STUDENTS, SECOND PARENTS AND THIRD THE TEACHERS. AND I CAN BET YOU THE PRINCIPAL IS THE LAST ONE ON THE LIST. SO I AM TIRED AND ALEX NEEDS TO BE TREATED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. AND THIS ELECTIONS WERE NOT FAIR IN ANY ANY WAY. AGAIN, WE DON'T MIND LOSING. LOSING IS PART OF THE GAME BECAUSE WHEN YOU RUN FOR SOMETHING, YOU HAVE THE PERCENTAGE OF LOSING OR WINNING. BUT WHEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN CHARGE KNOW THAT THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING WRONG, THANK YOU. THAT'S I'M GOING TO LEAVE THAT TO YOU GUYS. OKAY. AND AGAIN, WE INVITE YOU GUYS TO COME TO THE SCHOOL AND NOT JUST TO TALK TO HER, TALK TO THE KIDS, TALK TO THE KIDS, BUT WHEN SHE'S NOT AROUND BECAUSE LIKE ALEX SAID, SHE CONFUSES RESPECT WITH FEAR. AND IT IS SO SAD TO HEAR THAT KIDS FEAR THE PRINCIPAL WHEN SHE OR HE. WHATEVER WE HAVE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEBODY APPROACHABLE. THANK YOU.[5. BARGAINING UNIT REPORTS]

WE'VE BEEN TO MANY, BUT THESE TWO I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO OUR COLLOQUIUM. THAT IS AMAZING. SO I WANT TO THANK LINDY AND HER TEAM FOR PUTTING ON SUCH A VERY ELEGANT ASSEMBLY FOR US. I SAT NEXT TO TWO TEACHERS THAT ARE FAIRLY NEW. THEY'RE IN THEIR INDUCTION PROGRAM. ONE OF THEM, AGNES, WAS ABLE TO SHOW US HER WEBSITE, AND SHE TEACHES SPECIAL ED. SHE TEACHES AT VICTOR, AND SHE REALLY WAS ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW SHE IS ABLE TO MAKE MATH FUN INSTEAD OF JUST REGULAR FUNCTIONS Y EQUALS TWO X. SHE WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE STUDENTS CREATE KIND OF LIKE A BATTLESHIP GAME, AND THEY'RE VERY ENTHUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN MAKING LEARNING FUN REALLY MOTIVATES THE STUDENTS. AND THEN THE OTHER TEACHER ON MY OTHER SIDE, HE IS THE CERAMICS TEACHER AT SILVERADO. HE'S SO ENTHUSED AND IN INSTILLING ART IN HIS STUDENTS. HE'S EVEN WORKED HARD WITH THE CITY OF VICTORVILLE TO POSSIBLY PUT ON AN ART FAIR. SO I THOUGHT, WOW, WE'RE REALLY IN GOOD HANDS. OUR STUDENTS WITH THESE YOUNGER TEACHERS AND THEIR COACHES. I WAS JUST SO IMPRESSED. AND THEN ANOTHER RECENT EVENT, TANYA AND I GOT TO SPEND THE DAY AT ADELANTO HIGH SCHOOL, AND WE HAD TWO CTE TEACHERS, RICHARD AND JOSH. THEY ARE AMAZING. THEY HAVE PROVIDED SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR STUDENTS, WHETHER IN COMPETITION OR OTHER ACTIVITIES, THAT MANY OF THEM ALREADY HAVE JOB OPPORTUNITIES, AND SOME OF THEM HAVE EVEN WON OVER $500 IN TOOLS OR FURTHER FUTURE ENDEAVORS. SO THAT'S AMAZING THOSE CONNECTIONS. THANK YOU, LORRAINE FOR SUPPORTING OUR CTE TEACHERS.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL THE THINGS I DID TO MY TEACHERS AND NOW I WORK IN EDUCATION, WHICH MAKES IT REALLY IRONIC BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE DOING IT TO ME. I'M IMPRESSED BY TEACHERS. I ADMIRE TEACHERS, AND YOU GUYS HELP BUILD THE FUTURE, BUT YOU COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT CLEAN CLASSROOMS AND THE CLASSIFIED STAFF WHO CLEANED THE BATHROOMS AND CLEANED THE CLASSROOMS AND KEEP THE GROUNDS CLEAN AND HELP TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING AND KEEP US IN COMPLIANCE WITH WILLIAMS ON A LOT OF THAT STUFF. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS. AND I KNOW IN TWO WEEKS IT'S WHEN WE CELEBRATE THAT THE CLASSIFIED STAFF. AND I'M VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT YOU GUYS DO. I'VE ALWAYS SAID THE LEAST IMPORTANT JOB ON A SCHOOL CAMPUS IS THE PRINCIPAL, BECAUSE IF THE PRINCIPAL DOESN'T SHOW UP, THE SCHOOL STILL RUNS. IF THE TEACHERS ARE CUSTODIANS OR THE FRONT OFFICE STAFF DOESN'T SHOW UP, EVERYBODY PANICS. SO WE I APPRECIATE YOU ALL VERY MUCH. I REALLY ENJOYED HEARING FROM THE KIDS.

IT'S NICE TO SEE THE KIDS BECAUSE THEY'RE THE REASON WE'RE HERE, AND IF THEY'RE NOT, THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE HERE. HANG ON. SPECIAL EDUCATION. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US UP. UP TO DATE ON SPECIAL EDUCATION. I WORK WITH SPECIAL ED TEACHERS AND I LOVE THE KIDS. BUT WOW, IT CAN BE TOUGH AND IT TAKES SOMEBODY SPECIAL TO SMILE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND SAY, I GOT TO WORK ON MY KIDS. AND I HEAR THAT AT A SPECIAL. I HEAR THAT OUT OF REGULAR TEACHERS, BUT I ALSO HEAR IT AT A SPECIAL ED TEACHERS. AND HAVING SAT IN A MOD SEVERE CLASS AND TRIED TO HELP, TRIED IS A KEY WORD THERE. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS DO AND ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT FORWARD. THE REPORTS FROM VTA AND CSEA. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US UP TO DATE, AND THANK YOU FOR CALLING US OUT WHEN WE DON'T DO THINGS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO. I'D REALLY LIKE TO WELCOME VICTOR, OUR NEW PRINCIPAL. I'M KIND OF SURE IT WAS A SETUP. VICTOR AT VICTOR LIVING ON RABBIT. RABBIT ROAD. JACKRABBIT ROAD. YOU KNOW, I THINK HE SHOWED UP AND THEY SAID WE CAN'T NOT HIRE HIM. BUT I'D LIKE TO WELCOME VICTOR. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME OUR NEW. OUR NEW JUST SWORN IN TODAY PEACE OFFICER AND OUR PEACE OFFICER, WHO WAS SWORN IN NEXT WEEK. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY. WELCOME TO THE TEAM. AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND. ALTHOUGH EVERYBODY PUTS THEMSELVES AT RISK EVERY DAY ANYMORE, YOU GUYS DO IT MORE SO BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONES THAT ARE. TO QUOTE ONE OF MY STUDENTS THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND I ASKED HIM, SO ARE YOU GOING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT? HE GOES, NO, I SAID, WHY? BECAUSE WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE IS RUNNING OUT, YOU HAVE TO RUN IN. SO WE APPRECIATE THE FACT YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AND HELP TAKE CARE OF US AND PROTECT US. I'M VERY IMPRESSED BY THE 9,697% TESTING THAT'S ATTRIBUTED TO EVERYBODY, THE TEACHERS GETTING THEM IN. TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAVING THE STUFF WORKING, THAT'S

INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ADMIN TEAM AND THE CABINET AND ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS PUT IN. I SEE IT AND IT AMAZES ME. EVEN THOUGH I WORK IN EDUCATION, IT STILL AMAZES ME HOW MUCH WORK AND EXTRA THINGS OTHER PEOPLE DO. AND AGAIN, I'M I STAND WITH THE REST OF THE BOARD. MOTHER'S DAY IS THIS SUNDAY. IF YOU'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING NICE FOR YOUR MOM OR YOUR WIFE BECAUSE YOUR KIDS WILL FORGET. PLEASE REMEMBER NOW YOU'VE STILL GOT TWO DAYS, THREE DAYS, TWO DAYS BECAUSE THAT DON'T COUNT. MOTHERS, YOU CANNOT RUN OUT MOTHER'S DAY MORNING AND BUY HER, YOU KNOW, GO TO IHOP AND PICK UP A PLATE OF PANCAKES AND BRING IT TO HER. THAT DOESN'T COUNT. SO THINK ABOUT IT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND DO SOMETHING. I KNOW MY WIFE HAS BEEN HINTING AT WHAT SHE WANTS FOR TWO MONTHS, SO THAT WAS EASY. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU EVERYBODY, AND THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT, FOR THE HARD WORK YOU DO AND WORKING WITH THE BOARD. FIVE CRAZY PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[16. SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS]
TO TALK ABOUT. YOU KNOW FOR SURE. SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. YOU KNOW, JUST THANK YOU FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE MY CONTRACT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WORK HERE TO 2029 AND FOND OF FOOD AND SHELTER. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. SO THANK YOU. BUT I REALLY AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GRADUATIONS. IT REALLY IS THE CULMINATING MOMENT. IT IS A LONG TWO WEEKS FOR ALL OF US. IT STARTS ON THE 19TH AND WE GO TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO SHAKE 2000 STUDENTS HANDS WHO ARE LEAVING WITH HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS THAT WE PREPARED THEM. AND I'M CONFIDENT BECAUSE[01:30:07]
OF THE GREAT TEACHERS WE HAVE, BECAUSE OF THE GREAT CSEA MEMBERSHIP AND ALL OF THEIR LEADERSHIP, AND BECAUSE OF OUR THE BOARD AND OUR MANAGEMENT, WE JUST PREPARED ON THE 19TH RIGHT FOR TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS, 2000 YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE, THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO THE MILITARY, THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO WORK. AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THEY MAKE A FULL CIRCLE RIGHT BACK HERE. AND SOON ENOUGH, THEY'LL BE OUR COLLEAGUES. AND THERE'S NO GREATER HONOR THAN THAT. AND I LOVE EVERY MOMENT OF THAT, JUST BEING ABLE TO SHAKE THEIR HANDS.I LOVE THE HAND SANITIZER AS WELL, BUT IT IS REALLY THE CULMINATING MOMENT FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE DO FOR 100 AND 180 DAYS WHILE OUR STUDENTS ARE HERE. SO SPEAKING OF GRADUATIONS, NATALIE, I'M VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO SHAKING YOUR HAND IN WISHING YOU WELL.
AND ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, WE HAVE A LITTLE GIFT FOR YOU. I CAN'T TAKE THE MICROPHONE, SO SORRY. YEAH. SO, NATALIE, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, LOVE TO GIVE YOU A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION. WE HAVE A CARD AND A LITTLE GIFT FOR YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. AND I HOPE THAT THIS IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU WON'T FORGET, BECAUSE WE WON'T FORGET IT EITHER. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR DEDICATION AND LOVE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU AND REMEMBER THIS. SHE COMES WITH A PICTURE. YEAH.
YEAH. SO THANKS. GOOD JOB YOU. AND ONE LAST THING. AS I CLOSE HERE TODAY, RECENTLY WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGE. IT WAS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE, AND IT WAS PRETTY COLD. WE HAD A LITTLE VIDEO OF IT THAT WE'D LOVE TO SHARE WITH YOU, BUT I THINK IT SERVES AS A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US THAT WE'RE IN THESE POSITIONS. AND IT'S INCLUDING CSEA, LEADERSHIP, THE SCHOOL BOARD, AND REALLY EVERYBODY IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT AN AWARENESS. IT REALLY IS A SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE POSITIONS. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEM. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BRING ABOUT AWARENESS CHECK. WE CAN DO THAT, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ADVOCACY THAT OUR UNIONS BRING, THAT OUR PARENTS BRING. AND BECAUSE IT'S THE ADVOCACY THAT GETS IT DONE. AND I THINK THAT THIS JUST SERVES AS A REMINDER, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAD TO DO IT WITH 27 DEGREE WATER, BUT WITH THAT, YOU HAVE TO WATCH RAMONA BECAUSE SHE MAKES THIS SHE MAKES THIS VIDEO.
SO ON BEHALF OF THE VICTOR VALLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS AND I CHALLENGE ALL SUPERINTENDENTS IN THE HIGH DESERT AND BOARD MEMBERS AND EXECUTIVE CABINETS THAT WE NOT ONLY USE OUR POSITIONS TO BRING GREATER AWARENESS, BUT WE USE THEM TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. OH MY GOD, I'M SO COLD. THAT IS COOL. THAT'S COOL. SO THE STORY BEHIND IT, KENT AND I WERE OUT TO LUNCH AND WE WERE JUST COMING BACK AND I SAID, YOU WANT TO GET WET? AND HE'S LIKE, SURE, I'M IN. AND SO REALLY APPRECIATE KENT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT WE CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE ALL OF OUR HIGH DESERT SCHOOL DISTRICTS UP HERE TO CONTINUE TO BRING AWARENESS AND TO REALLY MAKE AN IMPACT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE POSITIONS FOR A REASON, AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING REALLY GOOD WITH THEM.
