          GOOD EVENING. BOARD MEMBERS, TEACHERS, PARENTS AND FELLOW STUDENTS. MY NAME IS ANTOINE AND I SERVE AS THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY CLUB CLUB MANAGER AT UNIVERSITY PREP. HELLO, MY NAME IS MELANIE GUMBERT. I AM A FRESHMAN AT UNIVERSITY PREP AND I AM THE SECRETARY OF CLASS 2029. TODAY, I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE EXCITING WAYS OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY OF UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY OVER THE SUMMER. OH, SORRY. OVER THE SUMMER, MANY OF THE RETURNING AND EXISTING ASB MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THROUGH WORKSHOPS THAT STRENGTHENED OUR COLLABORATION AND TEAMWORK SKILLS, PREPARING US FOR BOTH ACADEMICS AND LEADERSHIP. ALONGSIDE THAT, OUR TEACHER BONDING ACTIVITIES HELPED FOSTER LASTING CONNECTIONS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS THAT WILL MAKE LEARNING MORE PERSONAL AND MEANINGFUL IN CLASS TIME. WE'VE SHARED ACTIVITIES THAT NOT ONLY CHALLENGE US ACADEMICALLY, BUT ALSO ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY, TEAMWORK, AND FRIENDSHIPS. BEYOND THE CLASSROOM, OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT SHONE BRIGHTLY AT SENIOR SUNRISE, WHERE THE CLASS OF 2026 GATHERED TO CELEBRATE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR FINAL YEAR TOGETHER. IT WAS A MORNING FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT, REFLECTION AND A PROMISE OF MEMORIES YET TO COME. WE'VE ALSO SHOWN OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVICE THROUGH EVENTS LIKE THE BLOOD DRIVE, WHERE STUDENTS CAME TOGETHER TO GIVE BACK AND MAKE A REAL IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. FURTHERMORE, CLUBRUSH SHOWCASED THE DIVERSITY OF PASSIONS ON OUR CAMPUS, GIVING EVERYONE A CHANCE TO GET INVOLVED AND FIND THEIR PLACE. LASTLY, SPORTS HAVE BROUGHT US TOGETHER IN THE STRAND, ON AND ON THE FIELD. 
          REMEMBER REMINDING US OF THE PRIDE AND UNITY THAT COME WITH REPRESENTING OUR SCHOOL ALL TOGETHER. THESE EXPERIENCES, BIG AND SMALL, PAINT A PICTURE OF A SCHOOL THAT VALUES GROWTH, CONNECTION, SERVICE AND SPIRIT. AND AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE YEAR, WE KNOW THERE ARE MORE MEMORIES WAITING TO BE MADE. NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE HOW EACH ONE OF THESE ACTIVITIES CONTINUE AND WILL STRIVE TO STRENGTHEN OUR CORE VALUES, SHOWING US THAT LEARNING IS DYNAMIC, ENGAGING, AND LIFELONG. TOGETHER, WE ARE TRULY IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING IN EVERYTHING WE DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. THANK YOU. NOW WE HAVE COMMUNITY COMMENTS. MR. COLES, COULD YOU.

          FIRST SPEAKER ALEXANDRA ALEXANDER QUINONEZ. HEY, ALEX. SORRY, BUDDY. ARE YOU THERE? 
          [00:50:18]
HEY, THERE YOU GO. OKAY, YOU BETTER DO IT RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOARD MEMBERSOLES. I AM CADET FIRST LIEUTENANT QUINONEZ AND I, REPRESENTING THE 276 BATTALION OF THE CALIFORNIA CADET CORPS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY BATTALION. THE REASON I AM HERE IS, FRANKLY, BECAUSE OUR ANNUAL INSPECTION DOES REQUIRE THAT WE DO BE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY POLITICALLY AS WELL AS SCHOLASTICALLY THROUGH THESE BOARD MEETINGS. BUT I AM ALSO HERE TO COMMUNICATE WHAT OUR UNIT HAS DONE THROUGHOUT THIS PAST MONTH. NOW, ONCE SCHOOL STARTED, WE SAW THAT OUR CLASS HAS GROWN FROM 21 CADETS FROM LAST YEAR TO NOW 24. WE ALSO SAW THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO ENLIST IN THE UNIT DID NOT HAVE SPACE, DID NOT HAVE SPACE IN THEIR SCHEDULE, AND THIS HAD MOTIVATED ME TO RESTART OUR CLUB SO THAT AS MANY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO, WHO AS MANY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT THE VALUES AND SKILL THAT THE CALIFORNIA CADET CORPS HAS TO OFFER THROUGH OUR RESERVES PROGRAM, WERE ABLE TO THIS YEAR. THE CLASS OF 2026 HAS ALSO GIVEN THE RECYCLING FUNDRAISER TO US. AND NOW THIS IS OUR WAY OF GIVING BACK TO OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY BY COLLECTING THE RECYCLING FROM EACH CLASSROOM. AND THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO US BY TEACHING THE CADETS HUMILITY AND TO SERVE AS WELL AS FINANCE OUR UNIT, TO PAY FOR THE MATERIALS SUCH AS THE UNIFORM THAT I WEAR TODAY. NOW ON THE ON THE TOPIC OF UNIFORMS THIS WEEK ON TUESDAY, WE HAVE COMPLETED ISSUING OUT ALL OF OUR UNIFORMS TO OUR CADETS. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE AS A UNIT DECIDED TO WEAR UNIFORMS. TODAY. ALTHOUGH IT IS OUR SPIRIT WEEK TO PERFORM A CEREMONIAL RAISING OF THE FLAG IN THE MORNING TO PAY OUR RESPECTS TO THE FALLEN POLICEMEN, FIREFIGHTERS AND AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT ALL LOST THEIR LIVES 24 YEARS AGO TODAY. NOW OUR CLASS IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO VISIT. IT'S DURING OUR SIX PERIOD AND OUR DESIGNATED UNIFORM DAYS ARE WEDNESDAYS AND PENDING. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT SIX PERIOD. THANK YOU ALEX. AND NEXT WE HAVE LET ME SEE IF I GET THIS RIGHT. 
          SHAKA ALI, DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? TELL ME THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY IT. SHAWNA. SHAKA. SHAWNA. OH, SHAWNA. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS GOOD, BUT I DON'T MIND. SHAKA. SOUNDS COOL, I THINK SO. 
          GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT COLES AND VICTOR VALLEY COMMUNITY. MY NAME IS SHAWNA ALI, AND I'M HERE THIS EVENING AS A CONCERNED PARENT AND AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, I AM DISHEARTENED BY OUR DISTRICT'S WILLINGNESS TO KEEP OFFICER KYLE WOODS ON THE SCHOOL POLICE FORCE, DESPITE PARENTS VERY REAL CONCERNS ABOUT STUDENT SAFETY, OFFICER WOODS BACKGROUND SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED HIM FROM SERVING ON ANY OF OUR CAMPUSES, ALLOWING HIM TO PATROL OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. WHILE THERE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF HIM CHASING AND SHOOTING, AN UNARMED PERSON WOULD CAUSE ANY REASONABLE PERSON TO QUESTION THE JUDGMENT OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HIRING DECISION. AS PARENTS, WE SEND OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL TRUSTING THAT THEY ARE IN GOOD HANDS. DOES OUR INPUT ABOUT WHO IS PLACED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OUR CHILDREN MEAN NOTHING, EVEN TO THOSE WE HAVE ELECTED TO SIT IN THESE POSITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY? WHAT WERE THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS POSITION, AND WERE THEY APPLIED WITH STUDENT SAFETY AS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY? OUR CHILDREN DESERVE OFFICERS WHO ARE THOROUGHLY VETTED AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED. I AM CONFIDENT THERE ARE OTHER CANDIDATES WHO COULD SERVE IN THIS ROLE FAR BETTER, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND OF STUDENTS, PARENTS AND STAFF. THANK YOU. 
          [7. BARGAINING UNIT REPORTS]
THANK YOU. TO REPORT. HELLO, MY NAME IS MIKE MAYO. I'M VICTOR VALLEY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT. I CABINET. HI BOARD MEMBERS. IT'S NICE SEEING YOU GUYS AGAIN. ALL RIGHT. SO FIRST HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH. I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS LAST YEAR AND IT HASN'T CHANGED TOO MUCH. AND I THINK IT MAY HAVE ACTUALLY GROWN IN POPULATION ABOUT THREE OUT OF EVERY FOUR OF OUR STUDENTS IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC. SO JUST AS A REMINDER, THESE ARE THE STUDENTS THAT WE'RE 
          [00:55:03]
SERVING, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM. I HAVE SOME THANK YOUS. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK MIKE WILLIFORD IN MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME THINGS WE HAD DISCUSSED FOR A WHILE IN REGARDS TO DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND DEFINING WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE. I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH LIKE THE AN AUDIT RIGHT NOW, AND SO I KNOW SOME OF THE STUFF IS ESSENTIAL ANYWAY. AND SO IT'S KIND OF NICE TO GET SOME OF THAT OUT OF THE WAY IN THE FORM OF AN MOU. AND I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH US ON THAT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY ON THE THE IDEA OF TRYING TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, ALSO DEALING WITH THE AUDIT, THE IDEA OF ACTUALLY STREAMLINING THE PROCESS FOR STUDENT OVERAGES. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR OUR MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO PROCESS THAT THROUGH INFORMED K-12. AND FOR THE MOST PART, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN MANY ISSUES. AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE BRINGING BEING PRETTY CLOSE. WELL, TRYING TO KEEP IT REALLY CLOSE AS TO HOW WE WERE DOING IT NICE AND EASY, LETTING FORMING THE ASSOCIATION FIRST, HAVING US TAKE A PEEK AT IT. AND I KNOW JARED NICHOLS ALSO WORKED WITH YOU ON THAT SPECIFICALLY TO TRY TO CLEAN IT UP. SO THANK YOU. AND I ALSO APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY. THE TRANSPARENCY IS INCREDIBLE. I WANT TO THANK ESPECIALLY FOR WAS IT EARLIER THIS WEEK? I GUESS IT WAS OKAY. SO YEAH, EARLIER THIS WEEK RAMONA REBECCA COOK FOR COMING OUT TO UNIVERSITY PREP TO DISCUSS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BECAUSE I KNOW WE WERE RUNNING INTO SOME ISSUES THERE. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR PTA MEMBER AND ALSO MISS HATCHER, FOR SITTING DOWN AND ACTUALLY WORKING IT OUT. AND HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL WILL BE RESOLVED. 
          THEN WE HAVE TECH ED, I WANT TO THANK TECH ED. I KNOW THAT THEIR JOB IS NOT EASY. I SEE HIM RUNNING AROUND ALL THE TIME, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW FAST THEY'RE ABLE TO GET A LOT OF THE STUFF DONE. SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU. HERITAGE AND LEGACY PROGRAMS. WE HAD OUR SO WEDNESDAY ADMIN COLLABORATION DAY. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT WE WERE USING IT SPECIFICALLY TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE DATA AND HOW HERITAGE AND LEGACY, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING. I KNOW THEY DIDN'T POINT THIS OUT SPECIFICALLY, BUT YOU COULD SEE IT RIGHT THERE ON THE DATA. AND I LOVE DATA. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SAYS A LOT. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT ON HERITAGE LEGACY, THEY WERE NOT ONLY LIFTING THE TARGETED GROUPS, EVERYBODY WAS LIFTED. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE INTENT WAS. AND SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHEN YOU LIFT THE TARGETED GROUPS, YOU'RE LIFTING EVERYBODY. AND SO I HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE IN THAT KIND OF DIRECTION. I'VE BEEN MAKING SOME PRESENT SITE VISITS. I'M ONLY LACKING TWO MORE SCHOOLS. I'LL HAVE THOSE DONE BY THIS MONTH, MAYBE BY, WELL, ONE BY NEXT WEEK AND ANOTHER ONE THE WEEK AFTER THAT. IT ALSO GIVES MY MEMBERS A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY COME TO ME, SPECIFICALLY IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING, CONCERNS ABOUT STUFF, AND I CAN ALWAYS TRY TO ADDRESS THEM IMMEDIATELY. NOT THAT I KNOW EVERYTHING, BUT AT LEAST I KNOW WHO THEY CAN GO TO IF THEY NEED TO FIND THE INFORMATION. AND THEN I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING WITH CHIEF STOWELL. CHIEF STOWELL ON SEPTEMBER 16TH. SO BE NEXT WEEK. AND THEN I WANTED TO SAY THIS AS THE LAST COMMENT. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE MEETING THAT I COULD HAVE WITH OUR NEW CTIA PRESIDENT, DANIKA WILLIAMS. SHE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON, AND I HOPE THAT VTA AND CCA ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER AS WELL AS WE HAVE BEEN AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, SIBLINGS AND ASSOCIATIONS. THANK YOU.

BLESSED TO SEE ANOTHER DAY. THANK YOU, MR. MAYO, FOR THOSE KIND WORDS. IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING WITH YOU AS WELL. I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY SINCE AUGUST THE 5TH, SINCE DAY ONE, AUGUST THE 5TH, I HAVE BEEN IN PLENTY OF MEETINGS. I'VE MET WITH DOCTOR YEE AND DOCTOR COOK, ALSO WITH MISS TIFFANY HAMPTON AND MRS. STORK.

I THINK IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MEETINGS FOR US TO RESOLVE A VERY LONG STANDING, AT LEAST TWO ISSUES OF VERY LONG STANDING, TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF I WANT TO, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ISSUES, BUT CHALLENGES FOR OUR REGISTRARS. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATION WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS, AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO MEET WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE, TO CONTINUE THE LIST THAT THEY'VE PROVIDED.

I WANT TO ASSURE THE BOARD AND CABINET THAT CSEA POSITION IS NOT TO TIE THE HANDS OF THE DISTRICT IN ANY SORT OF WAY. MY TEAM AND I ARE BELIEVERS IN THE STUDENTS THAT WE ARE ALL HERE TO SERVICE.

THANK YOU, MIKE, FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE TASK FORCE. AND LARRY HAS BEEN VERY GRACIOUS IN EXTENDING AN INVITATION TO ATTEND THIS SPECIAL ED TASK FORCE. I DO NEED TO GET BACK ON MY CALENDAR MEETING WITH CHIEF STULL. TO SEE HOW CSEA CAN ASSIST HIM IN WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO HAVE DONE, AS WELL AS TO BRING ANY CONCERNS THAT CSEA MAY HAVE WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT MY MEETING WITH MR. MAYO. I ENJOYED IT. HE GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE. I DID PROVIDE HIM WITH SOME INFORMATION THAT MAY ALSO AFFECT HIS BARGAINING UNIT, BUT JUST TO BE WELCOMED NOT ONLY BY HIM, BUT SO FAR, EVERYONE THAT I'VE COME ACROSS, THE WELCOME THAT I'VE RECEIVED, IT HAS REALLY, REALLY WARMED MY HEART. I'M NOT A BIG SPEAKER, SO I THINK I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT. IT WAS A PLEASURE BEING HERE THIS EVENING AND IT'S A PLEASURE TO SERVE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. APPROVAL OF MINUTES, A MOTION SO MOVED.

YEAH. AND WITH THAT, WE HAVE THE ARCHITECTS WHO HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO OTHERS AND LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL OF WHAT VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL COULD LOOK LIKE. AND IT'S AN HONOR FOR ME TO HAVE THEM COME UP. AND THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR US TODAY, YOU KNOW, FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ARCHITECTS. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST STEP IN STARTING TO LAY THIS INFORMATION OUT OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. AND WE'RE GATHERING MORE INPUT FROM STAFF AND FROM OTHERS. BUT IT'S A IT'S A BIG DAY TODAY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PUT FRUITION. AND WHAT THE POTENTIAL OF WHAT OUR SCHOOL IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, SUPERINTENDENT, GUYS CAN HELP ME OUT ANY WAY AND JUST ADD ABOUT 497 TREES. IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE, LIKE, PHENOMENAL. I'M SURE WE COULD PUT THEM SOMEWHERE. ACTUALLY, THE DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT REQUIRES TREES, SO IT WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM AT ALL. GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT COLES AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IT'S A PLEASURE FOR ME TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND OUR TEAM, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, TO PRESENT THE CURRENT DESIGN THAT WE'VE COMPLETED FOR VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. I'LL SHARE A FEW THINGS WITH YOU TONIGHT. FIRST, A BIT ABOUT OUR FIRM, THE WORK THAT WE DO, A BIT ABOUT OUR TEAM THAT'S HERE TONIGHT. AND THEN MY PARTNER HERE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE DESIGN AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE'VE COMPLETED SO FAR. THE NAME OF OUR FIRM IS PBK ARCHITECTS. WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST FIRMS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SPECIALIZING IN K-12 EDUCATION. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STATS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS, THIS SLIDE. WORKING WITH THIS DISTRICT FOR OVER 20 YEARS, SINCE 2004, WE HAVE 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOING K-12 WORK, OVER 500 NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WE'VE COMPLETED, AND OVER 2000 ADDITIONS AND MODERNIZATIONS. ONE OF THE WAYS THAT PBK IS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE IS THAT WE ALSO OFFER NOT JUST ARCHITECTURE, BUT ENGINEERING. SO STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, ALSO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, ALL WITHIN OUR COMPANY. SO WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT SERVICE TO OUR DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH OUR OWN STAFF. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE, THOSE DIVISIONS HERE ON THIS LIST. I'M GOING TO ASK OUR TEAM TO STAND UP. WHO'S IN THE CROWD TONIGHT IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND JUST SAYING HELLO. THIS THERE'S ONE PERSON ON THIS SLIDE THAT CAN'T COULDN'T BE HERE MARK GRAHAM RIGHT NEXT TO MY PICTURE. ALSO A SENIOR PRINCIPAL VERY INVOLVED WITH THIS DISTRICT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE'S ON A FAMILY VACATION THIS WEEK. SO HE COULDN'T BE HERE. SO HE APOLOGIZES. BUT I THINK WE'VE TAKEN A QUITE FAR ALREADY AND AND CAN COVER IT WITHOUT MARK GILBERT. BAEZ IS HERE. ALSO LEADS OUR RANCHO CUCAMONGA OFFICE. AVA LIN IS A SENIOR LEADER ON THE TEAM, AND VICTOR ROBLES, ALSO A DESIGNER. THEN NEXT TO ME IS NATHAN SAINT CLAIR. REAL QUICKLY, WE'VE GOT THE TEAM READY TO GO. WE'VE DONE LOTS OF WORK ALREADY. AND THIS THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE WAY WE'RE ORGANIZING THE WORK TO BE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY MOVE THROUGH SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF DESIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE DIVISION OF STATE ARCHITECT VERY, VERY QUICKLY AS WELL, ENSURING THAT YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE USED AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. AND WE MANAGE ESCALATION AS WELL. A BIT ABOUT OF OUR HISTORY WITH THE DISTRICT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. WE'VE TOUCHED HOOK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, SILVERADO HIGH SCHOOL, ADELANTO HIGH SCHOOL, VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, AND LAKEVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO WE KNOW HOW THE DISTRICT WORKS, AND IT'S AN HONOR FOR US TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT. AND REAL QUICKLY, THERE'S SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED OVER THE YEARS HERE AT VICTOR VALLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE INSTITUTE OF MATH AND SCIENCE IN SILVERADO, ATLANTA HIGH SCHOOL, CULINARY AND MEDICAL BUILDINGS AT VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS SUPERINTENDENT COLES MENTIONED EARLIER, WE'VE JUST COMPLETED SCHEMATIC DESIGN BASED ON THE INTERPRETATION OF MUCH INPUT FROM THE DISTRICT ALREADY. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE. WE'RE AT A VERY EARLY STAGE OF DESIGN, AND AS WE CONTINUE MEETING WITH THE DISTRICT, WE'LL LEARN MORE AND WE'LL SHAPE THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE SURE YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AS WELL. HAVING SAID ALL THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO NATHAN SINCLAIR TO TALK ABOUT AN ANIMATION AND SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT HE'S DEVELOPED WITH THE TEAM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU BOB. THANK YOU EVERYONE. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE 
          [01:10:01]
HERE. BE UP HERE AGAIN TO VICTOR VALLEY. I'VE BEEN UP HERE A FEW TIMES NOW THROUGH THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH EVERYONE. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE WHERE WE'VE GOTTEN TO TO THIS POINT AND TO BOB'S POINT AS WELL. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK LEFT TO DO, A LOT OF INPUT THAT'S GOING TO COME ALONG THE WAY, AND WE FULLY EXPECT THE DESIGN TO MATURE AS WE GO, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T BE EXCITED AND CELEBRATE THE MOMENTOUS OCCASION THIS IS, AND WE'RE REALLY THRILLED TO BE PART OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET THE CLICKER NOW TO WORK. WE'RE GOING TO WATCH AN ANIMATION THAT'S GOING TO SHOW YOU A LOT OF THE NEW PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON HERE. AND THEN WITH THAT, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH A SITE PLAN AND SOME EXTRA IMAGERY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE WORK WILL BE TAKING PLACE. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE NEW ATHLETIC COMPLEX. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE GYMNASIUMS, THE AQUATIC CENTER AND A LOT OF NEW LOCKER ROOMS AND WRESTLING SPACE AND A LOT MORE PROGRAM THAT COMES WITH THAT. ALSO A LARGE LEGACY WALL. WE WANT TO HONOR THE RICH TRADITIONS OF ATHLETICS HERE, A NEW, VERY FLEXIBLE GYMNASIUM SPACE. STILL DIALING IN THE RIGHT NUMBER, LOTS OF NATURAL LIGHT. VERY IMPORTANT. SPACES UP ABOVE THAT CAN LOOK OUT INTO AND HELP SUPPORT THAT. FACILITATION. LOUNGE SPACES AND SPACE HERE TO PERHAPS LOOK OUT OVER THE AQUATIC CENTER AND THE FOOTBALL FIELD REALLY HELP BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER, PERHAPS HAVE EVENTS THERE. THERE WILL BE AS PART OF THE PROJECT AS WELL. OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS TO SPORTS FIELDS, INCLUDING SOME BLEACHERS, NEW LIGHTING, ALL THAT TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL VERY, VERY UPDATED. ANCHORING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IS NEW CLASSROOM AND CTE BUILDING. WE REALLY WANT TO CREATE A NICE WELCOMING EXPERIENCE TO THE FRONT DOOR. WE'LL GET AS MANY TREES IN THERE WE CAN, BUT SOME SHADE TOO WITH LOTS OF SHADE. WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON BRINGING PLACES WHERE ALL THE STUDENTS CAN COME TOGETHER, SHARE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES, TECHNOLOGY THEN VERY, YOU KNOW, ROBUST CTE PROJECTS HERE WITH LOTS OF SPACES IN THE BACK. ONE THING THAT WE DID HAVE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW MUSIC BUILDING THERE ON THE CORNER, WHICH IS KIND OF THE NEW FACE ON THAT CORNER ON MOJAVE, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. SO OVERALL, THE REAL FOCUS WAS TRYING TO CREATE A NEW FRONT DOOR TO THE VICTOR VALLEY SCHOOL. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE GOT A GOOD FIRST STEP. WE'RE EXCITED TO TAKE ALL THOSE NEXT STEPS. SO OKAY, I KNOW I GOT A FEW MORE MINUTES. SO I THINK WE'D LIKE TO SAY THIS IS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A VERY HISTORIC PROJECT. THERE'S A LOT OF TRANSFORMATION THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND THIS GIVES YOU AN OVERALL SENSE OF THE SITE PLAN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS LITTLE GUY HAS AN ARROW. SORRY IF I KIND OF APPROACH, JUST WAVE MY HANDS AROUND A LITTLE BIT. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT RIGHT HERE. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. THIS IS A NEW NEW FRONT DOOR THAT IS SHADED ON THE ENDS AND THE SHADE. WHERE ALL THE SPORTS COMPLEX EXISTING. ON THE SIDE. AND HERE. 
          CONNECTION ALL THE WAY TOWARDS FORWARD FROM THERE, THE SPORTS FIELDS. SPORTS. HERE YOU SEE THE ANIMATION, THE NEW SCHOOL AND ALL THE NEW PARKING LOTS, PARKING LOTS OUT HERE. WE'RE REALLY TOUCHING AND REALLY DO THAT TRANSFORMATION. ARE THEY BEING TOUCHED? ALL THE. CTE CLASSROOMS IN HERE AND THEN 20, 26, 38. A LOT OF THOSE SCHOOLS. SO YOU KNOW NO ONE'S IMPORTANT ISN'T IT? YES, SIR. I KNOW THE OTHER. SCHOOL WHERE THAT. FIELD, FOOTBALL FIELD AND STADIUM IS 
          [01:15:08]
NOT ON THE LIST OF. AND PUT SOMETHING NEW. IT'S SORT OF A I WAS LOOKING INTO THE DETAILS, BUT IT'S MORE OF A REFRESH, REALLY. SO NEW NEW BLEACHERS AT THE STADIUM. SO NEW BLEACHERS, NEW SORT OF MODULAR PRESS BOX UP THERE, NEW AWAY BLEACHERS, I THINK NEW TURF IN THE FIELD, NEW SORT OF SYNTHETIC TURF IN THE FIELD, I THINK REFRESHING THE THE TURF, I MEAN THE, THE TRACK AS WELL. SO THAT'S ALL INCLUDED IN THIS, KNOWING THAT BY THE TIME THIS IS DONE THAT THE CURRENT FIELD'S KIND OF REACHED THE END OF ITS LIFESPAN TO BE BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE OTHER FIELDS YOU GUYS HAVE ACROSS. THAT FOOTBALL STADIUM, THINGS LIKE 19. NOT LIKE TODAY. 
          YEAH. SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO DO THAT. BUT IT'S NOTHING WE HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE. SO YEAH DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND. BUT WE WANT TO GET, I THINK NEW CAPACITY AND FRESH EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYBODY THAT'S THERE. WALK THROUGH JUST SOME VIEWS REAL FAST SO WE CAN WRAP IT UP IN SOME, YOU KNOW, STOP ME IF WE'RE OVER ON OUR TIME. THE NEW FRONT DOOR TO ALL OF YOUR ATHLETICS COMPLEX RIGHT THERE, BIG AND WELCOMING, VERY TRANSPARENT AND EASY TO NAVIGATE. AGAIN, ANOTHER VIEW FROM THAT NEW INTERIOR LOBBY OF THE ATHLETIC CENTER. GYMNASIUMS TO THE LEFT. LEGACY RIGHT THERE. THEN CONCESSIONS AND CLASSROOMS, WRESTLING LOCKERS BACK FURTHER. 
          THE NEW GYMNASIUM SPACE. IT'S KIND OF DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE UP TO, I THINK THREE COURTS RIGHT NOW, MAIN COURT RUNNING THIS WAY, AND THEN TWO PRACTICE COURTS ON THE SIDES. THIS IS AN ATHLETIC LOUNGE. WE THINK IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO WHERE POTENTIALLY RECRUITERS CAN MEET OR OTHER MEETINGS THAT COULD BE THERE, ATHLETIC TERRORISTS OUTSIDE LOOKING OUT OVER THE THE AQUATIC CENTER AND THE SPORTS FIELDS, A NEW AQUATIC CENTER, YOU KNOW, EIGHT LANES, 25M LONG. IT'S GOT A POOL PUMP, NICE LOCKER ROOMS, THE CTE BUILDING AGAIN, ANOTHER END OF THAT FRONT DOOR. BUT IT DOES HAVE A LOT OF OTHER CLASSROOMS IN IT. THE GRADE CHANGES MEANS WE GET PUT THIS THING UP ON SOME NICE LANDSCAPED STEPS, A NEW ENTRANCE INTO THAT PART OF THE CAMPUS, AND AGAIN USING SOME OF THE EXISTING SITE WORK AS WELL TO TRY TO CREATE THESE. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE BUBBLES, THE CIRCLES ON THE LANDSCAPE. WE'VE GOT GOOD DROUGHT TOLERANT LANDSCAPE, LOW MAINTENANCE, GOING TO FIT IN NICE. NICE UP HERE. NEW DROP OFF EXPERIENCE AND THEN THE CTE CLASSROOM BUILDING FRONT DOOR. THIS IS A COURTYARD IN BETWEEN ALL THE CLASSROOMS LOOKING OUT A NEW PATHWAY KIND OF GOING BACK INTO CAMPUS. AND I DO WANT TO GET TO THE CTE CLASSROOMS IN THE BACK THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACE MADE TO REALLY SUPPORT THINGS THAT WILL IRON OUT WITH YOU, WHETHER IT'S CONSTRUCTION, TECHNOLOGY, AUTOMOTIVE, WHATEVER THE ACTUAL PROGRAM IS. WE'LL BE DEVELOPING THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. AND I DID WANT TO SHOW BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE ANIMATION, THE NEW ADULT SCHOOL STILL WORKING ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE IDEA IS TO HAVE ONE NICE COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING FOR EVERYONE TO, YOU KNOW, COME IN THERE TOGETHER INSTEAD OF THE CLUSTERS OF BUILDINGS, ALL AIR CONDITIONED AND NICE KIND OF MODERN FACILITY WITH LITTLE OUTDOOR SPACE RIGHT HERE FOR WAITING, LEARNING AND OUTDOOR LEARNING ENGAGEMENT. AND SO YEAH, WE'RE VERY HONORED TO BE HERE. IT'S A BIG REDEVELOPMENT. IT'S BOLD. WE'RE THRILLED AT PBC TO BE PART OF THIS. IT'S BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH MARK AND THE TEAM WITH BRETT TO KIND OF BE UP HERE. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR HISTORY ON THIS CAMPUS AND REALLY BE PART OF PLANNING THAT FUTURE OF THE CAMPUS, WHICH IS REALLY FANTASTIC. SO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. YES, SIR. SO. RIGHT. WE GOT. YOU KNOW, WELL HOSE BIBS AND THE OTHER ONE PLUGS. OUT. THANK YOU BRETT. WE GOT A NOTE OF THAT. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT I SAT IN THE MEETING AND I'M GOING REALLY WELL I KNOW, AND I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE BIGGER ISSUE IS, YOU KNOW, THE CHANGE ORDERS, COST CONTROL. WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH ESTIMATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIAL THAT IN CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDERS ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF THIS. I GET THAT, BUT BOB ANSWERS ALL THE CHANGE ORDER QUESTIONS. YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MAINTENANCE TO DO THEIR JOBS. IT'S NOT FAIR TO ME. SO AND TO ADD TO THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS DID THE THE MIKE DAVIS GYM DOWN AT VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, BUT TALK ABOUT CHANGE ORDERS. THEY BUILT SHOWERS WITHOUT DRAINS. IT WAS A URINALS THAT REALLY CAUSED. 
          [01:20:03]
YEAH. NOBODY WANTED A SHOWER THEN. ANYWAY, THAT WAS THE 80S. SO YOU HAVE SOME PRETTY HIGH STANDARDS TO MEET. I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT IF THAT IS THE LIST OF CONCERNS HERE YOU GUYS WILL BE GOOD TO WORK WITH. BUT YEAH, YOU KNOW, ONE THING ABOUT ALSO ABOUT ADELANTO HIGH SCHOOL IS THAT THE JOSHUA TREES THAT THEY TOOK OUT OF THERE, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET THOSE ADOPTED OUT. THEY WOUND UP IN THE BACK, IN THE BACK 40S, ALL LAID OUT THERE, AND THEY ALL DIED. I KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS IN THE I WAS IN THE GRAND JURY WHEN WE LOOKED INTO THAT AND NOBODY ADOPTED THEM. AND THE CONTRACTOR WAS TOLD WHEN THEY DUG OUT THOSE JOSHUA TREES, THEY HAD TO GET THEM ADOPTED. WELL, THEY PUT THESE BIG OLD. CONTAINERS AND NOBODY COULD GO OUT THERE AND TAKE THOSE JOSHUA TREES. YOU NEED A BACKHOE AND A BIG OLD SEMI. SO THEY JUST LAY IT OUT THERE AND DIED. BUT THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. FORTUNATELY, HE WON'T HAVE ANY JOSHUA TREES OVER HERE. YEAH. WE WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING SOME TREES PROBABLY. YEAH THAT'S GOOD. I'M MORE CONCERNED WITH THE TREES THAT YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE AWAY. I, I DON'T KNOW THAT. I MEAN MOST OF THE SPOTS FOR THE ATHLETIC CENTER. ALL THERE'S NO TREES THERE. THAT'S ALL DEMOLITION. 
          YOU'VE GOT THE NEW BUILDINGS BY THE. THERE'S SOME REALLY NICE MATURE TREES THERE AND WE'LL WE'LL WORK TO MITIGATE THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE'RE STILL IN THE SITE KIND OF PLANNING PHASES POSITIONING THE BUILDING. AND SO WE'LL BE WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT. AND IF UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE TO DO THAT, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF GREAT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO EITHER TO ONE REPLACE TREES, BUT ALSO THOSE ARE REALLY VALUABLE WITH THE CT GROUPS AND STUFF TO RELOCATE AND REUSE. SO DO OUR BEST. WE'RE JUST BEING PROACTIVE. SINCE MOST OF US HERE HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY RODEOS AT VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. YEAH, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF RODEOS ON THERE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE THIS ONE AS POSITIVE AS POSSIBLE. AND SO YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY BE LOOKING INTO TREES AND WHAT WE CAN DO IF WE CAN KEEP THEM, TRIM THEM BACK FOR ANYTHING WE CAN DO. WE'LL TRY TO FOR SURE. WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING UP HERE, ESPECIALLY FOR STICKING AROUND AS LONG AS YOU HAVE. WE APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU GUYS. WE'LL BE SEEING YOU AGAIN. OH YEAH. THIS IS THE START OF MANY OF TRIPS I'M SURE. THANK YOU. THANKS. HEY, ACTUAL MR. COLE. 
          YEAH. SO AS YOU KNOW, SHANTI IS IS OUT FOR UNEXPECTEDLY WITH, YOU KNOW, SOME FAMILY THINGS GOING ON. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR UNEDITED, UNAUDITED ACTUALS REALLY, TRULY WAS THE FACT THAT WE REALLY CAME IN EXACTLY WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO. 
          AND THEY'RE THEY'RE ON UNAUDITED RIGHT NOW. WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO BE DEFICIT SPENDING. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TEAM OF OUR BUSINESS SERVICES, HOW THEY PUT THAT KNOW, IF YOU THINK ABOUT LIKE THE REVENUES CAME IN ABOUT 258 MILLION, YOU SPENT 260 MILLION, YOU KNOW. AND SO WE WERE UPSIDE DOWN. 1.7 I KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, OH, MAN, WE'RE SPENDING MORE, BUT EVERY DISTRICT IS RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN'T DO IT FOREVER. BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY A TIME FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PUT THAT INTO PLACE. AND I THINK WHEN WE THINK ABOUT OUR BUDGETS, AS I'VE HAD SO MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BUDGET AND HOW PHILOSOPHICAL IT IS IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT THE MONEY IS WITH OUR STUDENTS, WE'RE WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH OUR ASSOCIATIONS. WE WERE ABLE TO DO, YOU KNOW, A ONE TIME OFF SCHEDULE RAISE THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, TO REALLY HELP OUT OUR, OUR EMPLOYEES. AND SO I CONTINUE TO TO LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED. SO WE CAN SUBMIT IT TO THE COUNTY. AND THE BIG ONE THAT WILL COME OUT OBVIOUSLY IS FIRST INTERIM IN DECEMBER, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT PRESENTATION. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS, WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO SPEND TO COMPARATIVELY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT AUDITED YET TO WHAT WE DID SPEND, IT'S IT'S PRETTY CLOSE AND GETTING EVEN BETTER AND BETTER EACH AND EVERY YEAR. SO THAT'S GREAT. 
          YEAH. OH. OH. ONCE WE GO BACK REAL QUICK AND APPROVE THE ARCHITECTS. YEAH. OKAY. JUST THEY'RE STILL SITTING THERE LIKE, DID WE GET THE JOB OR NOT. NO. YOU KNOW, WELL NO. YOU KNOW WE WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE TREES OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. GOT A MOTION I MOTION SECOND SECOND.

BUT WE DO REMEMBER THE THINGS AND REMEMBER THEM TO TRY AND HONOR THE PEOPLE THAT NOT JUST THE VICTIMS, BUT THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, WERE PART OF THE RESCUE EFFORTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT LOST THEIR LIVES. MAYBE NOT IMMEDIATELY, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, THEY DID. SO, YOU KNOW, LET'S TRY AND REMEMBER THEM IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. AND I'M SORRY FOR THE DOWNER TO START, BUT ANYWAY. OKAY. WE'LL. PARKER.

AND I'D LIKE TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, THE IMPRESSIVE GROUP OF CADETS, YOU KNOW, FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PROGRAM, IT'S NOT EVEN THE NINTH WEEK OF SCHOOL YET.

YOU KNOW, IF I COULD JUST READ THEIR NAMES ALL THE TIME, I'D FEEL A LOT BETTER. AND DANICA'S NOT HERE. BUT I WANTED TO SAY SO. THE BOARD DOES WELCOME HER, BUT I THINK INDIVIDUALLY WE PROBABLY HAVE.

THREE OF US WERE ABLE TO GO TO THE STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE YESTERDAY AND WELCOME THE STUDENTS HERE. AND IT WAS QUITE AN OPPORTUNITY, A GOOD VOCAL GROUP. WE'RE EXPECTING GREAT THINGS FROM THEM. THEY THEY JUMPED RIGHT INTO. SO THIS OUGHT TO BE A GREAT YEAR TO GET A LOT OF INPUT FROM THE STUDENTS, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO STUDENTS. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE WE WANT. WE WANT TO DO THAT A COUPLE THINGS REALLY QUICKLY. FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK ADELANTO HIGH SCHOOL. THEY INVITED ME TO PLAY IN THE KICKBALL GAME. AND I THINK THE LAST TIME I PLAYED KICKBALL WAS IN THE 1950S. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I GOT A I GOT A BASE KICK, I GUESS YOU CALL IT. AND I GOT ON AND I WAS REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF. I MADE IT TO FIRST BASE, AND IMMEDIATELY THE COACH PUT A PINCH RUNNER IN FOR ME. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT, BUT. BUT I GOT TAKEN OUT WITH A PINCH RUNNER WAS PUT IN. BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME. IT WAS WONDERFUL. WE WE WE ENJOYED OURSELVES AND AND THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL AND WENT TO THEIR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. VERY SUCCESSFUL LOT OF PEOPLE. THERE WAS VERY, VERY WELL RUN AND HALF AN HOUR AFTER IT CLOSED, THERE WERE STILL A LOT OF PARENTS THERE VISITING THE TEACHERS, AND SOME OF THEM HAD STARTED GOING HOME, BUT A LOT OF THEM WERE STAYING HALF AN HOUR AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END. I APPRECIATE THAT. ANYHOW, THE MIKE FROM I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS TRANSPARENCY AND WE HOPE THAT CONTINUES. AND IF IT DOESN'T CONTINUE, WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. THE TRANSPARENCY. ALSO, YOU SAW THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS FROM YOUR ALMA MATER, THE CHANGES TO VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. AND ALTHOUGH YOU'VE GONE TO ANOTHER SCHOOL WITH ALL THAT NEW TRACK AND ALL, YOU KNOW, YOU, WE MIGHT GET YOU BACK AS A COACH AND JUST, YOU KNOW, THROWING IT OUT THERE. SO. NO. OKAY.

BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE HER AND THE GOOD COMMUNICATION. WE HOPE THAT CONTINUES, SO PLEASE PASS THAT ON FOR VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR SINCE THE LATE 1970S AND OVER THE YEARS NOW IT BECOMES IT HAS LOOKED MORE AND MORE LIKE A GHETTO SCHOOL, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. SIXTH STREET LOOKS GREAT. YOU DRIVE UP SIXTH STREET NOW. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A RUNDOWN SCHOOL ANYMORE. IT LOOKS LIKE A SCHOOL THAT HAS PRIDE. AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AND ALL THE THE MEMBERS FOR TAKING THE TIME AND THE MONEY TO INVEST IN THAT AND DO THAT. AND WE'RE EXCITED NOW BECAUSE MOJAVE IS GOING TO POP. OKAY. AND I MEAN, I BACK IN THE 1980S, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TEAR UP PART OF MY STUFF. BUT IF YOU GO UP MOJAVE, YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE MADE OUT OF CEMENT. AND I'M NOT A CEMENT WORKER. AND IT SAYS. AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE, BUT IT WAS THE BEST I COULD DO. OKAY. AND IT'S STILL THERE 30 SOME ODD YEARS LATER. 
          AND IT'S PATHETIC, BUT IT'S THERE, AND WE'RE EXPECTING THIS THING JUST POP AND MAKE VICTOR LOOK GREAT. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME OTHER SCHOOLS DOWN THE ROAD. BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. DOCTOR COLLINS, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, AND I COULD HAVE DONE THIS PRIVATELY, I GUESS, BUT I DO. AS YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT KNOW ME THAT NEVER GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. OKAY. AND I, I TURN THEM ON TO YOUR WONDERFUL PROGRAM. FANTASTIC. ONE OF THE CONCERNS, SOME OF THEM SAY NOW THEY CAN ONLY TAKE ONE CLASS AT A TIME. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. SO THEY ARE. ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE MORE UNDER THE PROGRAM? THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE 3 OR 4 AND COMPLETE IT BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM WORK IN A COUPLE JOBS, STUFF LIKE THAT. ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT DOWN THE ROAD OR NOT? THEY ARE OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. WELL, YEAH. WELL WE KNOW HOW THAT GOES. AND I JUST AGAIN LIKE TO THANK THE CABINET FOR ALL YOU GUYS DO. WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT. WONDERFUL WONDERFUL JOB.

I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR NEW EXPLORER POST. IT'S EXCITING TO HAVE. THAT GIVES THEM A. I REMEMBER IN HIGH SCHOOL WE HAD AN EXPLORER POST UP IN BIG BEAR FOR THE FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND THREE QUARTERS OF THE KIDS DECIDED THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THAT. THAT'S NOT A BAD THING. IT'S NICE TO KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO SO YOU CAN GET A JOB DOING WHAT YOU DO WANT TO DO, SO IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. I'M HOPING ALL THESE KIDS FIND SUCCESS AND REALLY ENJOY IT. I, AS ALWAYS, APPRECIATE THE STUDENT SPEAKERS. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT STANDING ALL THE TIME. I WAS ROOFING ALL DAY AND MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME, SO STANDING UP AND DOWN WAS HARD. SPANISH HERITAGE MONTH I HAVE FOR YEARS SAID THAT OUR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FRIENDS THAT ARE OF THE SPANISH PERSUASION DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POWER THAT THEY HAVE. THEY'RE THE LARGEST GROUP IN CALIFORNIA, AND IF THEY WOULD GET TOGETHER, THEY'RE SO THEY'VE GOT SUCH LEVEL HEADS AND SUCH GREAT IDEAS THAT THEY ALL GOT TOGETHER. THEY COULD REALLY HELP US. I JUST WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY TO BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER. BUT. AND SPANISH HERITAGE MONTH IS A NICE FIRST STEP. WELL, THERE'S A GOOD FIRST STEP. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE UNIONS. THANK YOU FOR GETTING ALONG AND WORKING TOGETHER. I KNOW I SAY THAT A LOT, BUT I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T, AND IT'S JUST IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THAT. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT FOR WORKING TOGETHER SO HARD. I, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, WILL NEVER FORGET OF MY AGE, WILL NEVER FORGET NINE OVER 11. THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING IT. IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF INGRAINED IN OUR MEMORIES, THOSE OF US THAT ARE OLD. BUT IT'S HARD FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EXPERIENCE IT.

SO THANK YOU AND THANK EVERYONE FOR STAYING. THANK YOU. OH OFFICER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING SO HARD ON THE CADET CORPS.

I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND A LOT OF THEM. THEY WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL. THERE WERE A LOT OF PARENTS AS WELL AS STUDENTS IN ATTENDANCE, AND IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE THE PARENTS GET INVOLVED IN PROGRAMS SUCH AS THESE, BECAUSE THEIR SUPPORT GOES A LONG WAYS IN HELPING OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS. IT'S ALSO NICE TO SEE MIKE IN ACTION. IT'S GOOD TO STEP INTO HIS CLASSROOM AND SEE WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR HIS KIDS. CARL, CARL'S FIRST STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING WAS HELD YESTERDAY. IT INCLUDED A 21 STUDENTS FROM OUR SCHOOL SITES AND BASED ON HOW THINGS KICKED OFF, IT LOOKS LIKE THE STUDENTS WILL PROVIDE US WITH LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS ON HOW WE CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL SITES SAFER, SAFER AND MORE WELCOMING FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. I WANT TO THANK MARIN BALMACEDA AND HER STAFF FOR AN EXCELLENT DISTRICT ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY COMMITTEE VIDEO ZOOM MEETING THIS PAST TUESDAY. SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED INCLUDED THE ELECTION OF ON SITE REPRESENTATIVES, REVIEW OF POLICIES OF OUR STUDENT ATTENDANCE REVIEW BOARD, AND REVIEW OUR PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY. THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 44 ONLINE ATTENDEES THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETING, AND IT'S ALWAYS GRATIFYING TO SEE THE PARENTS GET INVOLVED IN THESE. IN THIS COMMITTEE, I WANT TO THANK PBC FOR BEING HERE. EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. I GRADUATED FROM VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL IN 1961. SO ALL THESE CHANGES HAVE COME ABOUT SUPER. I KNOW I GET TOGETHER WITH SOME OF OUR ALUMNI FROM CLASS OF 60, 61, 62. WE MET EVERY WE MEET EVERY SATURDAY FOR LUNCH. AND WE CALL OURSELVES THE GRAY HAIRS AND I. I TOOK THE THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED FOR US A WHILE BACK AND I SHOWED IT TO THEM. THEY'RE ALL EXCITED AND READY TO SEE THIS. THE BIG CHANGE AT SCHOOL. IT'S IT'S DARN WELL NEEDED. BUT THANKS AGAIN FOR STICKING AROUND. APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE CARL ON COMPLETING HIS IRONMAN TRIATHLON LAST SUNDAY IN SANTA CLARA. WE. YEAH, THAT WAS THAT WAS AWESOME. WE FOLLOWED HIM FROM START TO FINISH ON OUR LITTLE APP, AND I THINK I WOUND UP ALMOST AS TIRED AS HE WAS. I MEAN, JUST SITTING IN MY CHAIR WATCHING AND THEN SEEING, SEEING HOW FAR HE HAD TO TAKE NOT ONLY SWIM, BUT HIS BIKE ALL THE WAY UP THE COAST AND ALL THE WAY BACK. AND THEN HE HAD TO GO AND DO HIS, HIS, HIS, HIS RUN. IT WAS A IT WAS SIX HOURS. HE COMPLETED IT. IT WAS IT WAS UNDER SIX HOURS, FIVE, FIVE HOURS, 55 MINUTES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS AWESOME. HE WANTED HIS GOLD WAS SIX HOURS. AND HE HE BEAT THAT. 
          AND HE WAS 70, 72 MILES TOTAL. I'M GOING TO WISH HIM A LOT OF LUCK NEXT OCTOBER. HE'S GOING TO DO A 142 MILE IRONMAN. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. BUT WE'LL BE WATCHING AND CHEERING YOU ON AGAIN. THANK YOU ALL FOR ATTENDING. OKAY. OH THAT'S RIGHT WEDNESDAY'S THE BELL GAME. 
          THAT'S IMPORTANT TO SOME PEOPLE. MY THING WAS BARSTOW IN THE AX GAME. THAT WAS THE IMPORTANT ONE. I UNDERSTAND THEY STILL HAVE IT GOING ON. BUT NOW I THINK THEY GET MORE MORE ATTENDANCE AT THE BELL GAME THAN THEY DO THE BARSTOW GAME. BUT WE STILL GO TO THE BARSTOW GAME AND CHEER THEM ON. ANYWAY, THANKS AGAIN FOR FOR BEING HERE. IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE THE KIDS FROM OPTIONS FOR YOUTH ON THEIR PRESENTATION. THANKS FOR BRINGING THEM. WE APPRECIATE IT. 
          HAVE A SAFE TRIP HOME AND THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE TODAY. I'M TRULY HONORED. WELL, I MEAN, I WAS KIND OF VERY QUICK ON IT BECAUSE I'M VERY USED TO IT. I'VE ATTENDED EVERY SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL MEETING AT MY SCHOOL. I HAVEN'T MISSED ONE SINGLE DAY. DON'T PLAN ON MISSING A SINGLE DAY. I WAS AT THE LAST YEAR THE 
          [01:55:01]
SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY. THAT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I GOT TO HAVE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, MR. COLES, AND I'M JUST TRULY HONORED TO BE HERE. BUT I HAVE A COUPLE LIKE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. SO AT MY SCHOOL, MY GOVERNMENT TEACHER CALLED IN THE MAYOR OF VICTORVILLE, AND I WAS ASKING THEM, I WANTED TO ASK THEM, IS IT OKAY IF WE ADDED MORE CROSSWALKS ACROSS OUR SCHOOL? BECAUSE LATELY WE'VE BEEN NOTICING MORE STUDENTS KIND OF SCATTER AROUND THE SCHOOL AND TRYING NOT TO GET HIT BY CARS BECAUSE THE PARENTS ARE JUST TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT. DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO ASK AND TRY TO GET THAT APPROVED? BECAUSE IT'S OFF OF BEAR VALLEY ROAD, AND A LOT OF PARENTS TRY TO JUST GET IN AND OUT. AND AS A STUDENT DRIVER, I TRY TO GET IN AND OUT AND THEY JUST CLUTTERED. AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CHIEF STOLL, DO YOU? OUR MAYOR, SAY ABOUT, OH, SHE HASN'T CAME YET. I PLAN ON ASKING HER. OH THAT'S EXCELLENT OKAY. SHE'S A GRADUATE OKAY. 
          AND THEN CHIEF STILL HAVE A QUESTION AS MORE PEOPLE JOIN THE POLICE FORCE REVIEW FOR VICTOR VALLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, DO YOU PLAN ON HAVING THEM HAVE HIGHER SECURITY FOR THE SCHOOL, LIKE HANDING OUT TICKETS TO PEOPLE WHERE IT SAYS NO PARKING AT ALL TIMES? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF PARENTS DO. WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL WAYS TO ENHANCE SECURITY. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. AND FOR OUR FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF VICTOR. VICTOR, I SAW IN THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY HAD YOU GUYS HAD A LOT OF LIKE DESERT TERRAIN, LIKE CACTUSES, ROCKS. 
          DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE CHANGED IN THE PLAN OR ADD LIKE TURF OR GRASS? SO STUDENTS HAVE AN AREA TO SIT AND RELAX INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SIT ON CONCRETE OR SITTING BY? I MEAN, IT'S NICE TO SIT ANYWHERE, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BRING THE MORE SCHOOL IT'LL BRING POP TO THE SCHOOL INSTEAD OF HAVING IT SO DESERT. BECAUSE THAT'S EVERYWHERE. WE EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IS JUST DESERT. YEAH, YEAH. THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES THAT KIND OF DIRECT US TOWARDS THE PLANTS THAT ARE DROUGHT TOLERANT. THERE'S WATER ISSUES AND STORMWATER ISSUES, AND WE WANT TO KIND OF FOLLOW BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LIVE IN HIGHLY WATER. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING THAT PLAN IS TRYING TO CREATE ANCILLARY SHADED SPACES AROUND THOSE BUILDINGS. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE IMAGES IN THE COURTYARD SPACE WHERE WE'VE GOT OUTDOOR SEATING UNDERNEATH THE PHOTOVOLTAICS TO ALSO BE SUSTAINABLE. BUT THEN YOU HAVE MORE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENTS IN THERE, SO PROBABLY WON'T GET AWAY WITH LOTS OF TURF BECAUSE OF THE WATER ISSUE. THE DESERT PLANTS AND PLANTS THAT ARE KIND OF NATIVE, AND WE LIKE TO EMBRACE THAT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO ADD SHADE AND SEATING SO THAT EVERYONE CAN STILL BE OUTSIDE WHEN IT'S NICE AND KIND OF SOCIALIZE AND COLLABORATE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR EVERYBODY THAT INVITED ME. HOPEFULLY I COULD BE SECOND SEMESTER BE ON THE BOARD. BUT IT'S IT'S AWESOME THAT I'M ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY. AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS. SOUNDS GOOD. HEY, MR. COLE. YEAH. LIKE TO 
          [15. SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS]
WELCOME YOU TO THE BOARD AS WELL. PARKER. THANK YOU FOR FOR BEING HERE AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GET TO LEARN FROM YOU AND AND WORK TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, NINE OVER 11 AND KIND OF THINKING ABOUT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE REALLY GET TO LEARN FROM THIS? AND YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THE NIGHT BEFORE, RIGHT? PEOPLE HAVING DINNERS AND NO IDEA WHAT THAT DAY IS GOING TO BRING TO US. AND I THINK IT JUST SERVES AS A GOOD REMINDER FOR ALL OF US THAT THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, WE JUST CAN'T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIPS, INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING AFTER. AND YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE AT AS A DISTRICT AND EVEN HEARING DOCTOR YEE TALK THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE PERCENTAGES OF OUR SENIORS, HOW MUCH MORE WE'RE ON TRACK NOW THAN WE WERE PREVIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, IT THE WORK THAT WE DO IS ABOUT THE CONSISTENCY, THE WORK THAT WE DO. IT'S ABOUT THE THE SINGLES, NOT THE HOMERUNS, NOT THE LUCKY SHOTS, BUT THE ONES THAT WE CONTINUOUSLY, CONSISTENTLY TAKE THAT CONTINUES TO PUT US IN THE RIGHT POSITIONS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'M REALLY PROUD OF, OF OUR ASSOCIATIONS, THIS BOARD, OUR CABINET, AND REALLY THE ENTIRE STAFF IS OUR DISTRICT, IS WE REALLY LOOK AT IT LIKE IT'S A POOL MATCH. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE THE SHOT THAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. IT'S ABOUT THE 2 OR 3 THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING UP. AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, AN IMPORTANT PART FOR OUR MINDSETS TO CONTINUE INTO THAT MINDSET OF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS SHOT, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PUT US IN A POSITION THAT WE CAN MAKE THE OTHER ONES AS WELL. AND SO REALLY PROUD OF THAT. TONIGHT WAS ALSO, YOU KNOW, ENDEARING TO WATCH OUR 
          [02:00:01]
POLICE EXPLORERS FORM, BUT ALSO IS ALSO A MARK WHICH YOU APPROVED TODAY FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF TRANSPARENCY. WHEN YOU START A POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU'RE ALSO SAYING TO THE COMMUNITY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON THE HIGH LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT COMES WITH IT, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SUBCONTRACT THE WORK OUT NO LONGER. AND SO WITH THAT, WHAT WAS APPROVED TONIGHT WAS OUR POLICE OFFICERS WILL BE IN BODY CAMERAS TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE COMMUNITY WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT SAYS, LOOK, WE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN THINGS HAPPEN. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 12,000 STUDENTS AND WE'RE A COMMUNITY OF, YOU KNOW, OVER 100,000 PEOPLE. AND I'M REALLY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MET WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS AND BE ABLE TO SAY, LOOK, WHAT WAYS CAN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF TRANSPARENCY? AND SO THAT WAS ANOTHER STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TODAY. SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS VOTING FOR THIS FOR THAT. AND WITH THAT I WILL END. ALL RIGHT. NOW DO WE NEED TO RETURN TO CLOSED SESSION FOR ANYTHING. NO. OKAY. THEN HOW ABOUT A MOTION TO ADJOURN SECOND DISCUSSION OKAY. THE VOTE PLEASE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIED. OKAY. SO THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. BUT WE
