8. PRESENTATION
8.A. Introduction of Two New Associate Principals: Dr. Alma Castro, Hawthorne High School; Angelica Mejia, Lawndale High School
Minutes: Superintendent Dr. Gregory O'Brien introduced the two new associate principals to share a few words so the public can have some idea of who they are and their vision as they are working at the school sites.
Dr. Alma Castro shared her background, experience and motivation for teaching and learning and encouraging opportunities for students. She has a supportive family and a former English language learner and one of the children of an immigrant family. She looks forward to bringing to the district her experiences and her connections with families; she is passionate in creating parent opportunities, not only to come and visit the schools and to take leadership positions in the school. She is also eager to begin work with the English Language learner population of which statistically, data shows that it is one of the most vulnerable groups of students who are failing in high numbers. Education Trust West published some data that indicated that only 9% of our English language learners are making it to graduation in meeting the A-G requirements. She looks forward to continuing this work and collaborating with teachers to be able to support teachers in the classroom as instructional leaders and providing opportunities for students who are oftentimes, those opportunities are not given in the homes or their communities. August 8, 2017 Board Minutes Page 3
Angelica Mejia, Lawndale HS associate principal, has worked for many years at Hawthorne HS and, most recently, as intervention specialist, and now chosen as associate principal at Lawndale HS. Ms. Mejia is very excited to transition to her new role at Lawndale HS. She said it would give her an opportunity to grow as a professional. She has been at the same school for 13 years, and now that she is in the new site, she has a fresh start, fresh perspective, bringing some of the things that really worked at Hawthorne. One thing she loved working in the district is the opportunity given to grow as an individual, because the district provides some professional learning opportunities and there's a large support and mentorships that she was really able to grow and embrace this community and learned to love it. She has achieved a great passion for working here, it comes out when she's around students and they know she's there to support them. She is glad to make sure that they have a well-rounded high school experience and when they walk away from CV schools, that there is somebody there they can count on and that we did the best to give them the best education.
Mr. Urrutia congratulated the new associate principals, stating that he is an alumnus of Lawndale HS and he is fairly new to the Board, this year being his second year. It is nice to see faces and hearing their background. He is excited to hear an update in a couple of months and see how things are going. Ms. Ruiz welcomed the new associate principals and was excited to have them on the team and wished them a very successful school year. (Ms. Ramos remarked that board member Ruiz is not only a local realtor from Lawndale but also an alumni from Hawthorne HS, and also part of the Rotary.)
Ms. Pizano welcomed Dr. Castro and Ms. Mejia, and said that she has been with the Board for ten years, the longest member, and an alumnus from Hawthorne. She loved to hear their background and she's glad that they have that opportunity and that they care about the students and glad that they are now part of the family.
Mr. Rojas congratulated Dr. Alma Castro and Angelica Mejia. He said that he can relate with Dr. Castro's vision and appreciates her work and leadership. He looks forward to continuing to see her work and visit her in the future. He said he is a product of Leuzinger HS and has been engaged working for youth and giving back at a number of levels in the past, and presently here. Mr. Rojas has known Ms. Mejia for quite some years beginning with the Criminal Justice Academy, and followed with the Sheriff's Academy and reached out to her and they were able to raise money for the Key Club. He appreciated her leadership and kids admire and respect her, which is the key to what we do. He thanked both of them for the things that they do.
Ms. Ramos congratulated and welcomed both of them. She shared her background being in the district for 18 years as classified employee and proud to be a CSEA member and her last position was as a librarian. She commented that her grandfather was also a school board member until his death in 1965; she has a special passion for each one of the schools, her mother, uncle and grandmother were graduates from Leuzinger, and her grandmother was in the first graduating class. Ms. Ramos is a Hawthorne alumni and she was glad that she had to leave the district and that she has to stay in the district in a different capacity. She commented that we're all about family and our diversity is great and wide, and since they are already in the district, they already know all the different cultures, so that would be a wonderful addition, but also the people the district employs have deep backgrounds and specialties. She thanked them for introducing themselves and welcomed them to the Centinela Valley, the CV way!
9. ITEMS FROM CSEA, CHAPTER 47 - JOSE LEMOS, PRESIDENT

Board president Gloria Ramos commented: "Thank you Mr. Lemos, I did meet with the classified union about ten days ago, and it was refreshing. I appreciate it and appreciate your humbleness and I know that we will work together and I just want to say that it was refreshing and thank you very much. And I think that everybody has a commitment. Piece by piece, thank you very much. I wanted to welcome everybody back because the next board meeting we will have a full board. I'd like to go a little bit more, not completely dark, but I'd like to let people enjoy their families during the summer time. And I know that we have some exciting trainings. I know that we lost the APs here but one of the things that I'm very proud of this board is that I don't think that there's, I mean, maybe in the administrative level, but at the board level, once it gets to us, we don't say no to any training. Training is one of the things that we fully support, so I highly recommend also meeting with our superintendent so we can also have that, you know, continuation of training for the classified. I just want to extend that and close my comments for the evening on this topic."
12. COMMENTS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Minutes: Superintendent Gregory O'Brien looks forward to meeting with the CSEA leadership team and the cabinet tomorrow. He reported that there are 1,400 students who were able to take advantage of summer school and earn credits that they needed so that they would be on track to graduate. At that time, 26 seniors were able to walk the line as the class of 2017 two Fridays ago, 7/28/17. Incredible things are happening at all sites and just waiting to the end of September where we can see all of them being brought to fruition. Dr. O'Brien is also super excited about the fact that there are about 1,800 Chromebooks that are now being sent to the sites getting ready to be distributed to students starting next Monday. All incoming freshmen will receive Chromebooks to not only use it at school, but to take home to do their work on, but they don't get them until they have gone to a quick orientation introduction where they learn how to care for it, what are the safety concerns, "how do I use this thing to accelerate my learning." All of these will be happening next week from 8:am to 8:30pm every night. A huge number of individuals will do the training--Molly Nellman, Dr. Santos, teachers. It will be bilingual Spanish, English. The Kick-off Rally is on Friday, 8/18/17; 7:30am is Continental Breakfast in the CVCA. Monday, August 21st, is the first day of school and looks forward to an incredible school year. Just like last year, district will continue to have PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Support) taking place at all of our sites. Every student will be trained with special lessons, with videos to make it interesting and special speakers are coming in. He said that we are off to a very good year and looks forward to the 21st.
13. REPORTS TO THE BOARD
13.A. Financial Update
Minutes: Ron Hacker, Business Services assistant superintendent, reported that they are in the middle of closing the books for 2016- 2017, but there are no big surprises. One of the big changes since the last report is the lack of developer fees use, developer fees funds, and redevelopment agency funds flowing in, and had to take some expenditures that were paid from those funds such as Ken Crane building and modular units at the site, and it has reached general fund expenditures of about $400,000 a year, so this is a significant development. Fund 25, which is the developer fee revenue and redevelopment funds, is almost empty and had to take from Fund 25 to general fund. The other significant change is the incremental decrease in revenue from estimated actuals to unaudited actuals.
13.B. INFORMATION ITEMS

15.B.2. Approval of Agreement between TELACU Construction Management and Centinela Valley Union High School District for Construction Management Services
Rationale: Approval of agreement is requested between TELACU Construction Management and Centinela Valley Union High School District for construction management services relating to the Hawthorne High School Woodshop Building.
Minutes: Ms. Ramos thanked Telacu for the continued efforts for the beautiful schools, under budget, and before the time limit for all of the projects. He called on Mr. Clem, president of Telacu Management, to give an update.
Mr. Clem reported that for the summer projects, the marquees are under construction with a little bit of hiccup in terms of location, but they are going in now, the bleachers at Leuzinger are going in now, and there is one more item at Hawthorne cafeteria to get fixed in order to be certified by DSA. They have been working diligently trying to get that building certified. The contract that was awarded tonight was for the construction of woodshop at Hawthorne and the project should get stamped at DSA this week and start construction after the October board meeting and moving into that building next summer. Phase 2 construction at Hawthorne is the biggest construction project which is the 62-classroom addition. Mr. Clem also informed the Board that the last two buildings #3 and #4 at Lawndale are gone. They are getting rid of the last of the hazardous materials which should be gone this week. Ms. Ramos remarked that they were able to knock everything down and not interrupt students' classes and that was amazing. He indicated that there will be some interruptions at Lawndale in the next 2-1/2 years. He also noted that there is an additional $1.5M dollars refund coming from the State that was from the Leuzinger project. The state owes us $33M dollars of which $28M dollars will come out of the first issuance of the Prop 51 bonds. Both of those will go into construction projects that are ongoing currently or construction projects that are planned.
Regarding the Rice Auditorium, the seats are being refurbished offsite, the flooring was asbestos tile so a contractor was hired to get rid of that. Underneath the tile floor, they found some asbestos insulation and other hazardous materials so they are in the process of removing all the hazardous materials. Everything in the theater will no longer have hazardous material. Ms. Ramos remarked that due to all the reasons, not that we are being lazy or cheaper, this is also in compliance with the Friends of Leuzinger and keeping the school historical so not only are we getting them refurbished but also keeping our historical building.
In the last project, before we run out of money, will be the Administration building with any money that is left over, if the State gives us all the money they are supposed to give us, and we manage all the other budgets carefully, we'll have enough money to do that modernization.
Ms. Ramos made a personal and emotional plea to find her grandmother's Memorabilia; she donated it in the Memorabilia Room and it was said that it was still there but nobody can find it so, maybe Matt Carver or somebody can find the Memorabilia that was in Leuzinger. She may end up re-donating it back but she just doesn't want it dispersed. Mr. Clem' understanding was (but maybe wrong) that all the stuff went to the chairman of the Memorabilia Committee. When disputed, Ms. Ramos was informed that all of her grandmother's things were left there in the attic unattended, and Ms. Ramos doesn't have access and due to asbestos, nobody was really going in there at the time. She just wanted to make this plea to find her grandmother's Memorabilia.
Motion Passed: Approve agreement between TELACU Construction Management and Centinela Valley Union High School District for construction management services relating to the Hawthorne High School Woodshop Building. Passed with a motion by Ms. Gloria Ramos and a second by Mrs. Rocio Pizano. Yes Mrs. Rocio Pizano Yes Ms. Gloria Ramos Yes Mr. Hugo Rojas Yes Ms. Marisela Ruiz Yes Mr. Daniel Urrutia

I request that we have it in September, please, because we have been messing around with this and have a couple of glitches with being able to get our items off our current online service, so if you could please bring it in September.
Board self-evaluation, I will see if we can talk about it a little bit in closed session and we'll try to get a consensus on when we'll bring that in; we're going to have to work on this in the next month. I also would like to propose that we have a discussion so that we can agendize that all of our board agendas and items that are on the agenda pertain to one of our CV way or, perhaps, something to do with our LCAP, and it should not go on the agenda if it is not adhering to one of our things. I would like that agendized for discussion, I think we are ready now to start aligning all board meetings with student achievement or what we're doing for our students so that everybody knows in the public that we are here for our students."
