[2. PUBLIC COMMENTS – AGENDA ITEMS]
WE HAVE REQUESTED ADDRESSING AGENDA ITEMS. THEY ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS WILL BE ALLOWED THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON EACH ITEM.THE BOARD WILL LIMIT THE TOTAL TIME FOR INPUT TO 21 MINUTES AS PER BOARD BYLAW.
>> I BROUGHT MY CALENDAR TO PUT THE DATES IN.
THE ONLY THING IS I DON'T SEE LOCATIONS.
IT WOULD BE GREAT AT LEAST FIVE TIMES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR TO HAVE A BOARD MEETING AT A LOCAL SCHOOL IN EACH TRUSTEE DISTRICT TO EMPHASIZE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH AND EMPOWERMENT.
THAT'S SOMETHING I WORKED ON SO HARD FOR ALL THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, TO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTIONS.
I STARTED WITH DOWNY UNIFIED. THEN THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
WE GOT IT AT PARAMOUNT. AND I ENCOURAGED IT HERE.
I HOPE WE CAN FOLLOW THROUGH BY HAVING MEETINGS.
IN THE PAST, THEY HAD MEETINGS AT RAMONA.
EACH SCHOOL IN EACH DISTRICT ONCE A YEAR, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
JUST FIVE TIMES. NOT EVERY MEETING.
THAT CAN BE A LOT FOR A ROAD SHOW. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. FOR CLARIFICATION, AT THE TOP OF THE CALENDAR, IT DOES SAY REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL BE HELD AT THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR BUILDING.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO ELAINE AND DR. SMITH FOR WORKING YESTERDAY ON YOUR DAY OFF. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
ALL THREE OF YOU TAKING YOUR TIME TO BE HERE ON A FRIDAY. I APPRECIATE THAT.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I RESPECT YOUR TIME IMMENSELY.
IT'S MY GOAL TO CREATE LESS WORK FOR YOU AND NOT MORE.
I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WERE INCONVENIENCED.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE, AS PRESIDENT AND A PERSON AND JUST IN LIFE, I TAKE PRIDE IN BEING ORGANIZED AND PREPARED AND PROCEDURES
[3. CALENDAR - BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS]
AND PROTOCOLS ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
WE HAVE ONE ITEM ON THIS. ITEM THREE, CALENDAR.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISED CALENDAR?
>> CAN I GET A SECOND? I SECOND.
>> IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 5:03 P.M. UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR BOARD MEETING TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 2025. THANK YOU.
