Orange County Board of Education Meeting December 16, 2015 Transcript Orange County Board of Education Meeting December 16, 2015 Transcript Welcome Call to Order Hammond: Well good morning everyone and welcome to our December 2015 regularly scheduled meeting for the Orange County Board of Education. And for those who don’t know our meetings are held monthly at 11:00 o’clock in the morning unless otherwise noted and we just ask that anyone that wishes to address our board please fill out one of the cards in the back. We have multiple staff members here that can help you to fill out the card and get that turned into us. Um, if you do want to speak just know that we give you about three minutes. Basically no more than that and you can’t hand off your time to somebody else so it’s not like you can get three people to show up with you and do about a 20 minute speech. And we do have about 45 minutes. We give 30 minutes in the front, 15 minutes near the tail end. And we just ask you to be very respectful and of course anyone that is disruptive could be asked to leave. Um, and so with that for the benefit of the record this regular meeting of the Orange County Board of Education is called to order and the gentleman that we had to do the invocation was unable to make it at the last minute so with that Madam Vice President I’m gonna call on you. Would you be willing to do an impromptu invocation? Invocation Lindholm: I will. Will you all please rise. If you’ll be with me in the spirit of pray; dear heavenly Father we are gathered here together for one purpose and that is to serve the children of all of Orange County and to be respectful of their parents and to applaud the teachers who give so much of their time. We also want to at this time when our service men and women are not able to come home, be with them, give their families peace, give them joy. Be with all of them and protect them as they protect use and keep us safe. In your name we pray, amen. Hammond: Amen. Pledge of Allegiance. Um, you know I was gonna ask if by any chance Mr. Steve Venz, am I saying that correctly, would you be willing to lead us in our Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of Allegiance Venz: It would be my honor. I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Roll Call Hammond: Miss Darou, roll call please. Phouangvankham: Trustee Boyd? 1 No answer Phouangvankham: Trustee Lindholm? Lindholm: Here. Phouangvankham: Trustee Hammond? Hammond: Present Phouangvankham: Trustee Bedell? Bedell: Here Phouangvankham: Trustee Williams? Williams: I am present. Hammond: Um would like to note that for the record Trustee Bedell, sorry you are always here on time, that Trustee Boyd is going to be late. He is taking care of a personal matter so we look forward to him joining us as soon as possible; hopefully within the hour. Introductions Hammond: Introductions. Do we have any introductions please Miss Nina Boyd? Nina Boyd: We don’t have any introductions at this meeting. Hammond: Alright. Come to our agenda for our adoption and by the way just for my fellow board members last Thursday, December 10th President Obama signed ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act into law. Because of this I’ll be adding a comment about this under board member comments. With that Chair seeks a motion in regards to the agenda. Agenda Lindholm: I have a couple of items Mr. President. Hammond: Fire away Lindholm: Um I would like to remove item number 14 as item 13 is a clearer version of the same. It’s almost a duplicate. So I’d like to make that here. Um, I’d like to add with our President’s concern we have wasted many meetings that we need uh board security to protect the public and the children who are here and the board members so I’d like to add that as a discussion item. And then secondly we have also discussed and it did not make the agenda and I’m not quite sure how that happened but a part-time staff member to assist the board with regular duties. We recognize the need for back-up and research material as needed by the board 2 to conduct regular business that’s a carry-over item. So that will be under discussion. And I would like to make those two suggestions as we approve the agenda. Williams: I’ll second that motion. Hammond: Alright um… well I think you discussed it pretty well um Doctor’s Williams or Bedell, any other comment on the agenda then. Bedell: No sir. Williams: No sir. Hammond: Alright, then all those in favor of approving the agenda as so moved signify by saying AYE. AYE. No oppose and Mr. Boyd is not here. Motion passes 4-0. Minutes Hammond: Minutes. Chair seeks a motion in regards to the minutes. Williams: So moved. Bedell: Second. Hammond: Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of approving the minutes signifying by saying AYE. AYE, AYE. Opposed? Motion passes 4-0. Wow, we’re like two minutes ahead of schedule. This is awesome. Um, well what I’d like to do is do two things here. One I’d like to introduce Mr. Steve Venz, Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator. Um, and eh, while you’re coming on up I’m gonna invite my fellow board members to join us down in the front row, we get the Bob Uecker seats for a wonderful Christmas presentation. So I’m going to turn the microphone over to you sir while we scamper on down and let the kids… Lindholm: We have to scamper? Steve Venz: So Board President Hammond and the board members and Dr. Mijares, it is my pleasure to introduce to you Sean Oliu as well as we have his parents here, Robbie and John. And then we have accompanying him, I wanna call you… Oliver: Oliver! Steve Venz: Oliver! I was going to call you David cause I know a great band director in LA whose name is David Savala. So we have Oliver Savala joining us. As you guys step up and get ready to perform I wanted to explain a little bit not only where Sean is from but also why Sean exemplifies doing this presentation here today. So Sean is an 8th grader at Sycamore Junior High School in Anaheim. He went to the school district in Anaheim City Schools and we talk about in Orange County, we talk about wanting our students to learn and to really be able to develop within the five C’s. So we have communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. 3 As well as we have that extra C of character. And this is the time of year where character really does play a role and we see the world around us. We see how character really is important during this time of what everything that’s been happening. And so Sean, he has, he started off with this talent and then through grit and determination has really taken that talent and brought it to a whole nother level which you’ll be able to see. And on top of that is that Sean exemplifies someone who’s really giving. And what he does is he goes to, I’ve seen him perform at California Department of Education. I’ve seen him doing fundraisers for Anaheim, for the City of Anaheim. He’ll do fund raisers for the Anaheim City School District. So taking time to do that and giving of his talent and abilities to do these things I think it’s really a wonderful thing for him to be an example for the students who, a middle school student doing this. And just last thing, I know what makes this so important to is that music, the power of music and music in education is now really starting, we’re starting to see how crucial that is. You know there’s all this brain research that demonstrates how playing a musical instrument it’s like a brain full workout. Because what you’re doing is you’re taking that mathematical, that analytical side of your brain and you’re taking that linguistic side of your brain and you’re really strengthening both. And their looking, neurologists are studying this and their seeing how amazing and how powerful that is and there’s nothing else that matches that. Not sports, not visual arts, nothing, but playing a musical instrument. And the thing that I find that’s so important that we do the work here in Orange County Department of Ed I think that key thing is about access. It’s about making sure that our children have access to this. And so Linda Wagner, Superintendent is creating that access and realizing the importance of that in Anaheim. And what’s amazing about Sean is that he has partnered his family I know that Robbie has partnered with them to start to create access to this beautiful gift and this beautiful thing of education, music education. So with that being said, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, Sean and Oliver. Applause Sean Oliu: Thank you everybody.

  • Social Emotional Learning in the Music Classroom: a Cross-Case Analysis of Teacher Experiences in the Rock and Roll Academy
    SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM: A CROSS-CASE ANALYSIS OF TEACHER EXPERIENCES IN THE ROCK AND ROLL ACADEMY by PAUL ATKINSON STEPHEN TOMLINSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOHN DANTZLER AARON KUNTZ DOUGLAS MCKNIGHT JOHN PETROVIC A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2015 Copyright Paul Atkinson 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of teachers in the Rock and Roll Academy, a music program designed to meet social emotional learning (SEL) objectives. This endeavor was undertaken to fill the existing research gap related to understanding the unique challenges and dynamics experienced by teachers within a commonly designed SEL environment. It employed a qualitative case study approach, providing individual and cross case analyses based on the analysis of text collected through field observations and multiple interviews of five teacher participants who trained for and teach within a Rock and Roll Academy program. Findings indicate that prior to teaching RRA, participants possessed a bias for traditional, teacher-centered educational practices. Additionally, findings identified value related to teacher preparation and training. Within the area of teacher activity, RRA evidence shows teachers engage in student-centered pedagogy, and promote social engagement within the classroom. Last, in the area of teacher outlook, research findings show teachers demonstrate program commitment and commonly identify developing SEL focus. Information contained within this study may be helpful to those who teach a classroom-based SEL program.

  • I Wish My Mom Just Talked More About [Me] Being Black”: a Multi- Study Investigation of Parental Racial Socialization in Multiracial Black-White Families
    ABSTRACT STOKES, MCKENZIE N. “I wish my mom just talked more about [me] being Black”: A Multi- Study Investigation of Parental Racial Socialization in Multiracial Black-White Families. (Under the Direction of Dr. Elan C. Hope). Racial socialization – parent-child communication about race – can equip children of color with the psychological resilience necessary to flourish in a world that is afflicted by oppression. There is a major gap in the empirical understanding of racial socialization in Multiracial Black-White families, where Biracial children are vulnerable to anti-Black and essentialist forms of race-related stress. In this multi-study dissertation, I contribute to this body of research through a systematic review of the qualitative literature on racial socialization in Multiracial Black-White families (Study 1) and development and validation of the first Racial Socialization Questionnaire for Biracial Adolescents (RSQ-BA; Study 2). In the first study, I reviewed 17 qualitative studies using meta-ethnographic methods in order to identify common forms of racial socialization, which included messages about (1) Monoracial Black pride and discrimination, (2) the irrelevance of race (e.g., color-evasiveness), and (3) Multiracial pride and discrimination. In the second study, I used the findings from the meta- ethnography to develop an initial pool of items for the RSQ-BA and piloted them through semi- structured interviews with 15 Biracial Black-White adolescents. I then refined the RSQ-BA based on the participant’s feedback and distributed the final measure to 330 Biracial Black-White adolescents through a national cross-sectional survey. Finally, I conducted an exploratory factor analyses to examine the theoretical dimension of the RSQ-BA (n=165) and a confirmatory factor analyses to validate the factor structures (n=165).

  • A Community Zine
    PROJECT SUPPORTED BY & FACILITATED THROUGH ETST 101 & ETST 301 AT CSUSM (SPRING 2020) CSUSM CROSS-CULTURAL CENTER THE DIGITAL SALA BULOSAN CENTER FOR FILIPINO STUDIES FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY 2021 PUBLISHING & DESIGN AMANDA ALTOBANO ERIKA COSPIN JASON MAGABO PEREZ KA-BANG MENDOZA LAURON KAILYNE SARMIENTO MARIZA VASQUEZ MELIKA SEBIHI NOREEN OCAMPO ROMELO URBI STEPHANIE SMAIL INTRODUCTION The works in this community zine were created toward the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Spring 2020, as shelter-in-place orders were in effect around many different parts of the world, students, poets, and artists sought space for basic mutual support. I transformed my virtual classes at CSUSM—ETST 101: Intro to Ethnic Studies and ETST 301: Ethnic Studies and Society—into ethnic studies and creative writing workshops and invited community members to join. We called these Artifact Labs. With the support of the CSUSM Cross-Cultural Center and the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies and the emergent literary intervention called The Digital Sala, we met for eight 45-minute workshops to read and write together. The goal was to reflect on, process, and document the anxieties, the analysis, the joys, the struggles, the pain, the remembrances, the rage, the fear, the longing that was in front of us, around us, inside of us. As we assembled these reflections, we were in the midst of an increasingly troubling time: we were losing work, struggling to make rent, to pay bills; we were losing family and community to the virus; we were mourning the brutal racist murders of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor; we would soon see the movement for Black Lives gain incredible momentum after the killing of George Floyd; not to mention we continued to brave our way through a heightened and emboldened political atmosphere of white supremacist violence.

  • 030420-822217-USDA-FS-Objection Page 1 of 78
    Andrew Stahl: Hi, this is Andrew Stahl. Good morning to Allison, David, Gina, Marco, and whoever else is listening in today. I want to clarify that FC's objection, is that this permit process in regard to the Forest Service was not sent back to the applicant or to FERC at the first date. That is when the Forest Service evaluates whether a permit applicant's activities, accord with Forest Plan Standards. Andrew Stahl: Obviously you've come up with 15 or so standards that need to be changed on environmental grounds. The standard that applies throughout the National Forest that bars special use permits for activities that can be accommodated on private land is one that you acknowledge in the EIS. Fail entirely to have dealt with and should have been the grounds for telling FERC, BLM, and the permit applicant, that they can pursue their pipeline on non-National Forest Lands. I'm actually sorry that the Forest Service is even here. You shouldn't be to begin with. You shouldn't have been to begin with. This should have been treated like any other permit applicant who tries to conduct an activity on National Forest Lands that could've been carried out on private lands instead. The Forest Service simply isn't in the business of managing the National Forest to accommodate each and every person's favorite thing to do. You shouldn't be competing with private property owners and you should be managing the National Forest for the primary purposes for which they were reserved.
