Note that comments listed in the Minutes are abridged and not verbatim.

Mr. Symonds: Thanked Dr. Pappalardo and the Board. He is humbled and honored to accept the position. The hardest part is leaving McKinley because he is in love with the school and the staff. He feels he has been called to serve and hopes to bring positive energy to the position.

4.e. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD:
Mr. Bill Brock, Wilson parent, regarding proposed Dual Immersion Mandarin program at Wilson. I think you are going too fast. I believe we need to bring parents into the planning. I would like you to speak to this situation at the next Board Meeting.

Deena Dragoo
Congratulated Mr. Symonds.
Discussed well attended general meeting of SGTA members. Provided list of concerns with Isela Salazar to share with Board members. Also shared postcards from SGTA members with questions/concerns for Board to read at their leisure.
Also spoke regarding the Dual Immersion Program. Are we thinking about the program as we have been told, or are we beginning the program next year? We are told that one of the Mandarin teachers from GHS is already slated to go to Wilson to start the program next year. Concerned that we still need a master plan for the McKinley Dual Immersion Spanish program yet we are taking on a new Dual Immersion program at McKinley. What can we do to slow this down? Knows the value of a second language for our students. We just want it effectively planned out and not at the same time as when we are laying off teachers.

Patti Kim
6th Grade teacher at JMS
I truly believe we all have the same belief to give the best to our students. Sadly for all the teachers, we are told that Jennifer Vargas and Anna Navarro, our TOSAs, will be back in the classroom next year. We don't have words for how effective they are. We don't know what we will do without them. Would like the school board would like to think about the needs of our students and not the needs of Dr. Pappalardo.

Presentation highlights:
Must submit report of current standing/situation by law and outlook for the following years.
LACOE required a Board approved resolution to go with the second Interim Report to address solvency plans.
COLA increase by the State in June and STRS assistance will help us with an extra $225,000.
We received some new grants from the state to help us with Classified PD. This can help us backfill monies already spent.
Also received an additional small grant to help low performing students.
Updated demographic study indicates some optimism for 'out years" regarding declining enrollment. We may level off next year. Decline in enrollment may not be as steep next year.
3rd Interim report due on June 1st. Will use as our base for the 2020 budget. Report will be presented to the Board on May 14, 2019.
Presenting our Layoff resolution today. Will approve the final layoff resolution on May 14, 2019.

Board Member Comments:
Mrs. Alvarado: When we do a self qualified declaration, does it put us in a negative light with LACOE?
Ms. Yeh: No. It puts us in a more cautious light. It is perceived as a positive step.
Mrs. Alvarado: It's all about the revenue. We will need to make cuts somewhere.
Mr. Ammon: Thanked Ms. Yeh for the presentation. Asked question about projected enrollment.
Mrs. Yeh: We projected 80 down this year, but declined enrollment was double our expected projection.
Dr. Scott: Multi-year financial projection. $3,000,000 of costs imposed that are not in the classroom (salaries, health and welfare, and retirement fund.) Every school in the state is suffering from declining enrollment. There has to be a better way of doing this. Will take a fundamental change.
Mrs. Haas: Thank you for putting this together,. Question on proposed STRS. We need to monitor this at the state level.
Mrs. Yeh: It is not our decision. We are told to pay this rate.
 
8. BUSINESS SERVICES
 8.a. ACTION - Approve 2018-2019 Second Interim Report Based on the assumptions available for the District at the time of the Second Interim reporting period, it is appropriate for the District to certify the qualified status due to the financial uncertainties for the out years in the multi-year projections.
The Superintendent recommends the Governing Board approve the Qualified Certification of District Solvency on the Second Interim Report for fiscal year 2018-2019 and the subsequent two fiscal years - 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.
Unanimously approved.

8.b. ACTION - Approve to Authorize Award of E-Rate Project 2019-2020. Eight school sites will receive updated network equipment and services under the upcoming e-rate funding application. Upon board approval, a contract will be awarded to Data Impressions in the amount of $39,517.41, NIC Partners in the amount of $31,085.78, Federal Technology Solutions Inc. in the amount of $19,059.16, and a five-year contract to Foothills Education and Technology Partnership in the yearly amount of $54,276.
Rationale: The District continues to participate in the federally funded E-Rate program, allowing us to provide our students and teachers with modern-day internet access, including maintenance to keep our internal network connections reliable. Funding is available based on our NSLP (Nation School Lunch Program) percentages, at which we qualify for an 80% discount. The program reimburses 80% on qualified internet access and equipment purchases, while the District covers the remaining 20%. This allows the District to upgrade our network and wireless infrastructure to provide greater bandwidth and security.
For the upcoming e-rate year, we solicited competitive proposals for the following categories: network hardware, cabling services, and internet service. After an extensive evaluation process, we would like to bring forward the following four partners for our upcoming e-rate projects: Data Impressions, NIC Partners, Federal Technology Solutions Inc., and Foothills Education and Technology Partnership, respective to the categories mentioned above.
Unanimously approved.

(Attached.)
No discussion or comment.

Special Board Meeting
San Gabriel USD
March 08, 2019 1:30PM 
Board Room 408 Junipero Serra Drive San Gabriel, California 91776

1. OPENING PROCEDURE 
1.a. CALL TO ORDER at 1:49 PM
1.b. ESTABLISHMENT OF QUORUM. All members present. Meeting attended only by Board members and Superintendent, Dr. Pappalardo.

1.c. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 
1.d. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
Recommended Motion:The Superintendent recommends approval of the March 8, 2019 Special Governing Board meeting agenda. Approved unanimously.

Quick Summary / Abstract:(This is an opportunity for the Governing Board to adopt the agenda as presented and/or rearrange agenda items to accommodate arrival of audience members.) 
2. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD 

2.a. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD regarding Items on the agenda, as well as, not on the agenda, but within the jurisdiction of the San Gabriel Unified School District Governing Board. 
Quick Summary / Abstract:A member of the public may choose to speak to an agenda item during public comment or at the time the Governing Board considers that item.

Dena Dragoo, SGTA President (Comments are abridged.)
Dr. Pappalardo spoke with me about (my) comment number one: the Special Board meeting alert during school hours. Teachers asked about what was going on and why there was a need for a special meeting. It created concern. Dr. Pappalardo and I spoke, and he helped me understand that it was going to cover Board procedures and protocols because there was a new Board member.

I am super happy that Jim Symonds has been named as Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services. We hear his teachers speak his praises.

You do realize that the last 4 appointments have been white male employees. Consider women on staff as future appointments.

President Shelhart asked if she could respond to Ms. Dragoo's comments. Board members noted that, as a policy, the Board does not respond to public comments. There was brief discussion that the comments may be addressed at a future Board meeting.

3. DISCUSSION - Board Governance 
Quick Summary / Abstract:The Superintendent brings forth the discussion of governance to have input and understanding of the collective thoughts on the Board’s role in governance including a discussion of protocols for the Board and Superintendent.

Dr. Pappalardo: The purpose of the meeting is to review protocols with new members. We want to increase our cohesiveness. If time allows, we want to look at our mission timeline.

NOTE: Written copies of Board Protocol information reviewed was not available to the public to track during the discussion.

The following comments are abridged and are not verbatim.

Mr. Ammon: Closed session the only time we communicate re: personnel or student issue due to Brown Act. 
Mr. Ammon: Is Executive session when four Board members meet without the Superintendent? (Answer not heard.)
General discussion of review areas such as if a Board member asks a question about a school administrator or confidential discussion with the superintendent between Board members and principals, staff or parents.

Mrs. Shelhart: Is it appropriate to ask questions of principals or teachers w/out going through the Superintendent? (General discussion regarding the informal nature of our district in this regard. Some general questions such as the number of students in the school or the number of English Language Learners are fine to ask without going through the Superintendent.)

Mr. Ammon-Questioning the practice with Principals at the sites notification of Board members on site emergencies. I think it is under-reported it because they get busy. Response from Dr. Pappalardo: The Principals sharing out of emergency situations has specific protocol. Administrator first takes care of the situation, then reports out. 
Mrs. Alvarado: What about follow-up after the fact? Behaviorally we have more issues- something we need to figure out to help the sites. There is strain on the teachers and site administrators.

Mr. Ammon: Are we missing something with sample protocol (1 and 3); individual staff. (Unable to follow this discussion as I did not have access to the document.)

Dr. Pappalardo: Noted the detailed content in Brown Act and Ed Code.

The sample documents discussed included protocols regarding:
1.     Individual staff to Board member; Board refers to follow chain of command.
2.     Individual member of the public randomly emails board not Superintendent; Board Member sends to all members and passes off to the Superintendent to respond.
3.     Board member to Staff member.

Dr. Pappalardo: Mandated reporting must go directly to the Superintendent. Must pass it on. These are staff members’ concern about abuse. (Difficult to understand since I do not have the documents they are reviewing.) Dr. Pappalardo says if it comes to one of the Board members, that they must report it to him. Mrs. Haas noted that she is still a mandated reporter and has to report herself.

Mr. Ammon askes about Whistleblower Bucket
Dr. Pappalardo: Bucket is technically about money if they suspect any fraud or theft. Anyone who identifies fraud through money, property. Mr. Ammon: What about harassment? Dr. Pappalardo: Harassment issues go to HR.
Mr. Ammon: broadly thinking of an HR complaint. Dr. Pappalardo: send it right back to the principal for investigation. Follow Chain of Command.
Dr. Scott further addresses Whistleblowing as being more a broad definition and not just financial: It is anything that is illegal, unethical or not correct. Dr. Pappalardo replied to bring it to the Superintendent or HR.

Requests for information: Should Board members direct requests to the Superintendent and not to Principal or teachers? Dr. Pappalardo: There are formal and informal protocols. It’s a very structured process in some districts, but we have not operated in that manner here. Ex: How many Kinder classes do you have? How many did you have last year? What have been the ELA scores over the last 10 years? If you have questions, You can refer them to me (Superintendent) or Cheryl (Board President.)

President Shellhart: Regarding Personnel questions. Should it go to Ross (Perry) or Dr. Pappalardo? On occasion, I will hear about a certain individual. Do we have the ability to go to Ross (Perry) directly? 
Dr. Pappalardo: We have agreed in the past that it is OK for Board to go directly to the Assistant Superintendents. It’s just information. (For example :) Assistant Superintendent of Business Services questions about building maintenance goes directly to that Assistant Superintendent. My preference is to come to me or any of the Assistant Superintendents. Dr. Scott: We all trust each other. But in the past, the motives of others were not honorable, but vindictive. Now I think we are in a different place where we all trust each other.
Dr. Pappalardo: - We will re-write #7. Request for information from Board member goes to Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent as appropriate.

Regarding Board Emails from School Sites to attend School Events                                 
Board Member Discussion: We are fine with that. We can respond all to let everyone know who is attending. It is difficult to keep track with all calendar changes made to events. Dr. Scott: Request to offer specificity to music performances. History Day, Founders Day, PBIS Roll-out. Campus-wide Community event vs. a regular campus event. We want to be present, but it needs to be at the discretion of the Board member. Let’s look at key events and one or two others. 

With our Liaison Schools: May we publish it out to our other Board members as FYI? Let us know if it is special or important. Or “My Liaison School is doing--- and I can’t be there; can you cover?”
Board Members will prioritize Open Houses, Spring Events, Promotions/Graduations, End-of-Year events.

Board Members represent voice of the whole board; should not represent individual voice/opinion. Mr. Ammon: “You can never take the Board hat off, even if you are a parent.” Not meant to restrict sharing our individual opinion. We are entitled to our individual opinion and must ensure that we do not represent our individual opinion as Board opinion/policy.

#9- Dr. Scott: add “or Board President”. Board agenda goes out on Friday; questions about the agenda should be directed to the Superintendent or Board President. 

Board Prep: Protocols
How do items get on the agenda? Tell Superintendent or Board President. If you see the agenda on Friday and have a question, give Dr. Pappalardo a call. You may still ask questions at the meeting if they come up.
Dr. Scott: The point is, don’t bring a " hand grenade” or surprises to the Board meeting.

Board Members must support the majority decision.

The Board will always be the last stop; not the first stop.

Assignment of Board Members to School Sites (Liaisons): Established at the beginning of the academic year. You are the primary contact for public contact. Each Board Member is assigned to one elementary school, then may double up for secondary.
Board President will assign Board Member site liaison roles by July 1. The primary purpose is outreach to stake holders. No unannounced site visits in our role as a Board member. (Professional courtesy.) Dr. Scott re-frames: “As a professional courtesy, Board member visits are to be pre-arranged.”
Board Members are encouraged to attend PTA meetings, Founders Day or other Site activity meetings as time permits.
Mrs. Haas: Discussion of challenge of being a Board member vs. parent vs. Jefferson PTA rep. and concerns as to inappropriate blurring of roles. Serving in several capacities as a parent and volunteer at JMS. Discussion as to being clear about when she represents herself (as a parent and member of the school community that her children attend) and when she represents the Board.

General Note: As the Board discussed policies, they endeavored to frame them in a positive manner.

SGTA President and Vice President excused themselves from the meeting at 3:30 PM.

1. OPENING PROCEDURE
1.a. CALL TO ORDER at 6:00 PM.
1.b. ESTABLISHMENT OF QUORUM. All members present.

2. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD
2.a. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BOARD.
Parent Request on Class Size Reduction: Dinh Quach (Full statement provided.)
Dear San Gabriel Unified School District Board Members:
As parents of the current second grade students at Washington School, we urge you to reduce the class sizes. Washington School is one of only two schools in San Gabriel with 27 or more students per classroom. For the past two years, this group of students were in much smaller classes of approximately 19-20 students each. We request that the classes return to three smaller classes.
Studies have shown that students in smaller class sizes, especially in the early grades, score higher on tests, receive better grades, and have better attendance. Additionally, students behave better and pay more attention in smaller classes because the teacher is able to have more one-on-one time with all the students and ensures everyone participates. The teacher has more time to get to know the strengths, weaknesses, and needs of each student so that she can make changes to the curriculum to better help those that are struggling or to push those who are a bit more advanced in their learning.
Therefore, we strongly urge you to reduce the class size at Washington so that each of our second graders will have an equal chance to excel in school. Thank you.
(Note: There were two petitions. One was for the second grade families and it received 35 signatures. The second petition was for the first grade families and it received 15 signatures. Total 50 signatures.)


Parent Request on Class Size Reduction:Vincent Moi
Parent of 2nd grade student at Washington. Now at approx 30 students. I am a product of an overcrowded classroom and know what it can do to the classroom. Detriment to learning of others; students with specialized needs. Maintain quality of teachers.

Public Comment by Anna Navarro, Secondary Instructional Coach
(Position removed in the Fiscal Stabilization Plan. Full statement provided.)
My name is Anna Navarro, and I am the Secondary Instructional Coach. I am here to speak about the Fiscal Stabilization Plan which eliminated my position. I am here to advocate for English Learner students. Teaching these students is my passion and I have faithfully advocated for SGUSD English Learners for the past 17 years.

This year I spent a lot of time supporting GHS English teachers who are dealing with English Learner inclusion for the first time. Next year, EL inclusion moves forward to History/Social Studies and other courses. If teachers are not supported and helped with EL scaffolds and lesson prep, how can we expect that EL students will be successful?

This year I led multiple grade level English meetings, developed EL supports for lessons, paragraph frames, and numerous strategies such as color coding, use of visuals, and vocabulary strategies to better support EL students in English classes.

With all of that, EL students have more support to participate in class and complete the required tasks, These teachers better understand CA ELD standards and Integrated ELD, but it is a baseline understanding. Therefore, we still have much more work to do. How can we expect this same work of other teachers who have not received training on ELD standards or Integrated ELD AND offered consistent support throughout the school year? Without training and instructional adjustments, English Learner students will flounder. This student population will not have their needs met. ELs will likely fail and not make progress without guided, accessible support throughout the school year. In 2017-18, SGUSD did not meet the EL reclassification rate.

Because of high numbers of English Learner students and Special Education students in classes, limited to no support in not the answer a successful district would give when initiating full inclusion.

7.e. PRESENTATION - Implementation of Fiscal Stabilization Plan for Fiscal Years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021
Presentation by Matt Arnold on behalf of Joyce Yeh.
Presentation attached. Highlights of Resolution provided above.
Comments:
Mr. Ammon- Thank you for including the positive - programs being kept
Dr. Scott- Forces us to make impossible decisions. Arkansas spends more on students than California. It's unconscionable. Forced to looked at staffing. I hope none needs us to say that we don't want to diminish.
Mrs. Alvarado- Governor's support for schools is one time money; reality is that we don't have enough money and we won't with declining enrollment. We'll do the best we can to keep the cuts away from the classrooms. I applaud our willingness to go at it the best we can.
Mrs. Haas: There will be difficult cuts; point out the good things that we will still have such as K-12 music, VAPA, PBIS. Still putting students first.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
...............................................................................................................................................

Have you heard about the District Fiscal Stabilization Plan?

The Los Angeles County Office of Education asks school districts to submit a 'Fiscal Stabilization Plan." Our districts plan for 2019-2020 will be to cut 2.5 million from our General Fund.

At our next board meeting on February 26th, there will be a presentation and school board members will vote to approve the "Resolution of Fiscal Stabilization for 2019-2020." (See the link below)

Here is a list of the 2019-2020 budget reduction items:

1. Reduction of Contracted Services – brokering, consulting, and leadership development ($400,000);
2. Reduction of Central Clerical Support – 3 classified employees ($180,000);
3. Reduction of Special Project Administration and Centralized Support Services ($250,000);
4. Refunding Non-Core Programs in Schools - 4th and 5th grade release time and wellness program ($350,000);
5. Refunding Non-Essential Services in Student Support Programs – behavioral aides ($450,000);
6. Reduction of Site and Program Allocation ($300,000);
7. Reduction of Instructional Staff due to declining enrollment – 6 certificated employees ( $480,000);
8. Realignment of Baseline Program/Services - increase of staffing ratio ($150,000);

Click to see the Presentation for the Fiscal Stabilization Plan for 2019-2020, 2020-2021
Click to read the complete Resolution to reduce key programs, services, staff and more
While you read over this presentation and plan, the real question should be, "Why is our District facing a 2.5 million deficit? Is it due to a rise in health care costs, increase to teacher pensions, are we facing declining enrollment or are there other factors that have also contributed to this financial state? These are just some thoughts to ponder!

Interested in hearing more? Attend Tuesday Night's board meeting at 7:00 p.m!

Thank you and see you all at the SGTA meeting on March 12th!
