taking action to correct, especially when children get hurt. Mr. Pérez

requested that staff do site visits from time to time and review safety.

Mr. Pérez stated that staff has been made to feel that they cannot come

forward with these types of concerns because they have been told there

are no funds available. Our people need to know that they can come

forward regardless of the financial situation. Mr. Pérez stated that the

emphasis for repairs should be on the principal who should be walking

their site with their custodian.

District on listening to School Services.

Leigh Hawkinson, President of AEA, distributed an article related to

Los Angeles Unified School District restoring the full school year. Ms.

Hawkinson stated that she is frustrated and angry that the counselor and

nurse positions are still frozen and that she received a written promise in

an email that these positions would be restored. Ms. Hawkinson stated

that her employees have given more for a longer period of time and have

never been fully restored and she intends to see that they are fully

restored. Ms. Hawkinson stated that she is angry because she trusted the

assurances that she was given and now she is being told we need to wait.

Ms. Hawkinson sent out an email the morning after the election and

never received a response. She is concerned because the decisions that

have been made have far reaching consequences such as schools that are

filthy and in disrepair and there safety concerns with no substitutes

provided for Special Education Assistants and Campus Supervisors. Ms.

Hawkinson stated that the District needs to do the right thing.

Mr. Pérez and Mr. Kraft requested that Ms. Hawkinson share the

Board/Superintendent Comments:

Carolyn M. Wilson ~ Absent

Greg Kraft ~ Mr. Kraft stated that his thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn and

Ben. Mr. Kraft stated that the election surprised him because he thought for sure

that Proposition 30 would fail and he is also amazed and pleased that Measure

W passed, especially in a county that votes against all taxes; however, this

shows how much support there is out there for this District. There was some

opposition out there, yet the voters stepped up to support the District. Mr. Kraft

wished that Mr. Pérez would have won and expressed sorrow for his loss.

570. BOARD/SUPT. COMMENTS


Art Kaspereen, Jr. ~ Mr. Kaspereen stated that our prayers are with Carolyn and

Ben. Mr. Kaspereen wants to see some drastic changes in the way that funding

comes to districts from the State. Mr. Kaspereen stated that when he was a

counselor at Alvord High School they were on the list for construction and

wondered when they will actually start construction. Mr. Kaspereen referred to

Ms. Hawkinson’s comments about the condition of our schools and stated that

he has noticed the same things; however, our staff can only do so much so we

need to restore staff, including the counselor and nurse positions. Mr. Kaspereen

continues to be concerned about split assignments for counselors and knows first

hand how hard and counterproductive a split assignment is. Mr. Kaspereen had

lunch with a staff member who now has to rent out their home due to the salary

cuts and additional cost for their benefits. Mr. Kaspereen stressed that the Board

wants to do the right thing and requested that everyone be patient.

Ben Johnson ~ Absent.

Nicolas Ferguson ~ Dr. Ferguson thanked everyone that supported Proposition

30 and Measure W.

José Luis Pérez ~ “I too appreciate the elections outcome. I was somewhat

surprised, but not that surprised that Measure W won. I feel that the community

is understanding and believes in our District. We need to look at restoration.

When we are on hard times, we look at districts that surround us and say they

are making cuts, so we can make cuts too, so we can look around at the

surrounding districts and see that they are restoring, so we need to restore too. I

want staff to really consider the situation and I know that staff is keeping the

state of the District in their minds, but incorporate into the state of the District,

the state of our people. I know that staff is not doing anything on purpose to hurt

anyone, but there is some flexibility where we don’t expect it to be. We need to

really look hard and if we don’t know how to do it, then let’s look at the other

districts and see how they are doing it. I am conservative too and I look at the

future but sometimes you’ve got to look at the present before you can get to the

future. I ask all of us to work hard and really put the numbers to the papers and

go all out to do the right thing. On Measure W once again I am very pleased

that it passed. It shows the respect that the community has for the District,

everyone in the District, not just one particular group. It takes all of us to make

the District run and run right. Sometimes we are not the smoothest in the whole

area, but all of us have the best interest of the District and the children in our

heart. We may not operate as fast sometimes as you want us to and we may not

be as efficient as you want us to be sometimes, but I think we need to be taking

another look at what we’re doing and see how we can best serve everyone as

well as we can. I want to emphasize too that it is very important to me and to

this Board that whenever there is an opportunity for a promotion, we need to

look at our people and before the promotion gets here we need to work with our

people to make sure that they are qualified to do the job. You can hire

knowledgeable people, but the heart you cannot buy. We have people here with

a good heart. No one puts 15 years into the District and thinks they are going to

do better somewhere else and decide to move the next day because they are

vested in this District and we should be vested in them, so together we need to

572.


make the best District we can and all of us need to participate and remain

together. Without all of us working together we cannot get where we need to be.

Where we find things that we can do better, we need to broadcast that. I also

recognize that administration takes a lot of heat, but that is because you can

withstand it. I hope to decrease the amount of pressure that you feel and

wherever I can I will do that. I will still have to really look at the numbers and I

am sure the Board is more than willing to work as hard as we can to understand

and to offer suggestions as to how we can best solve our situation. I can tell you

I don’t like our people being compensated as well as surrounding districts. I

think we need to do as good a job as we can. I keep going around the same

subject because I cannot say that we’re not doing a good job, but obviously staff

telling us stories that is not apparent to us. Have a good evening and let’s have

a better year.”

The meeting adjourned at 9:26 p.m.
