2. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS ON THE AGENDA Jaime Hernandez, Local 802 union member, spoke regarding the Leuzinger master plan and PLA stating that the project is meant to have non-members, union members and members of the community working together which brings about a peace between the groups. Things are bad in the economy right now, but there is work because of these projects; they met the 30% ratio from Project Labor Agreement.

Marche’I Hennington, Local 802 union member, thanked the board for approving these projects which created the opportunity for more work. She stated that it’s great for the community and she was unemployed for over a year and is now able to work.

Date: June 29, 2011 Minutes

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS ON THE AGENDA (continued) Eric Brown, Local 11 Electricians Treasurer and Director of Compliance, spoke regarding the Leuzinger master plan saying that when it was approved he was a resident of Hawthorne, his father was actually one of the first African-American students to graduate from Leuzinger so he definitely has pride and ties to the school. He thanked TELACU and hopes that nothing will stop work, he’s proud of the bond money and being part of the PLA.

Jesse Stinson, Local 802 union member, thanked the board for the Project Labor Agreement and the opportunity to work.

Board member Gloria Ramos thanked the local labor members for their work and said she is very proud to have them in our community.

Doug Merrian, Local 78 Plumbers District Representative, spoke regarding the Leuzinger master plan saying that in their union it is at 40% unemployment and without PLA, there would be no work, it allows the community to work; he has workers that have been out of work for a year and a half and he is happy there is work now.

Evelyn Guzman, Leuzinger ASB president, stated that along with the construction of the 44 new classrooms at Leuzinger, came a new principal, Dr. Ryan Smith. Students are excited about the new building and the smart boards. Jacqueline Vasquez, Leuzinger ASB vice-president, stated that the new building is getting students excited about class and science because the new labs are so nice. Tracy Hernandez, Leuzinger incoming senior, was part of the group of students who assisted in the original plan of the new building and said that Leuzinger is great and she is so proud to be an Olympian. The new building is amazing and changing the appearance of the school will help change the way that Leuzinger is perceived.

Darryl James Smith, Local 802 union member, stated that he is grateful for the PLA and believes it teaches discipline and enables people to work. This particular project helped him to be involved with the community and benefited him in a lot of ways; it basically taught them how to be better people.

Patrick Holmes, president of Friends and Alumni for Historic Leuzinger High School, spoke regarding the Leuzinger master plan. He stated that he is glad to see that jobs are being created in the community but strongly feels that buildings and history don’t need to be destroyed to create jobs. He stated that not only are people who went to Leuzinger 40 years ago upset which, he said, is what John Clem said in a recent article, but kids who go there now are just as upset and won’t come forward to say anything because they are afraid of retaliation through the principal. Mr. Holmes said that an Environmental Impact Report should have been filed before construction began.

Adrian Scott Fine, Director of Advocacy for the LA Conservancy, spoke regarding items 7M and 7H stating that the conservancy shares the concern of the citizens because they believe Leuzinger is a historical resource and should be treated as such, which would make the district historical and under CEQA there would need to be an Environmental Impact Report to assess what historic resources exist on campus now and how the campus upgrades and improvements can be done with minimal impact to the historical resources. He stated that regarding item 7H, a resource is determined historical if it falls under 3 categories, the first is mandatory, second is presumptive, and the third is discretionary so you can’t pick and choose which it falls into to follow CEQA. There is a fair argument test establishing a low threshold for initial preparation of an EIR, which reflects a preference for resolving doubts in favor of an environmental review. The Conservancy is available and exists to help retain history and maintain technology.

Board member Gloria Ramos asked John Clem if it was only the buildings from 1930 that are being considered. He responded that the buildings from 1930 are not being demolished. Board member Sandra Suarez asked if this is recent because from what she understood they were going to be demolished which is why she stood up against it; the girl’s gym from 1936 was going to be demolished. John Clem responded that the girl’s gym is on the master plan but is in phase 3 and not funded and will be voted on if it does become funded.

Gordon Mego, Leuzinger alumnus read two letters, one from the City of Hawthorne’s Mayor Guidi and City of Lawndale’s Mayor Hofmann, both opposing the tearing down of the buildings at Leuzinger High School.


Monica Fredericks, CSEA member and TUSD Board Member, spoke regarding item 5C stating that she is a supporter of the Merit System and knows how difficult it was to even have the system put in place. She stated that in 2005, the TUSD got rid of the Personnel Commission and it ended up costing over $200,000. She concluded by saying that the Merit System allows fairness and equality and should not be removed.

3. ITEMS FROM CSEA, CHAPTER 47 Tre-Shawn Hall, Labor Relations Representative, spoke regarding layoffs of crucial positions like Security or Secretary I. She stated it’s a huge mistake, they don’t make that much money but will be noticed when they’re not there and should not be laid off. She spoke regarding item 8BE stating that it is illegal to hire a sub for a year, there is a Secretary I who can do that job and the two employees have retired so they shouldn’t be able to come back. Ms. Hall then said that the district needs to allow the Merit System to work; the process will fill a neutral seat and avoid nepotism. She thanked the district for participating in mediation for the grievances. She concluded by saying that they will be filing an Unfair Labor Practice for unilaterally implementing the 4-10 schedule. Juan Carlos Gutierrez, CSEA president, spoke regarding item 8BG stating that no one applied for the position, they were appointed, it was an IT worker that was already a part of the IT department.

4.

ITEMS FROM CVSTA/CTA Pedro Martinez, CVSTA vice-president, spoke on behalf of the president who is out of the country stating that they are supporting certificated employees and will try to resolve as many issues as fast as possible. He reported they are having good communication with administration and they met with Dr. Ryan Smith to try to resolve some problems. He said things are happening and will continue to because of the collaboration with the administration and thanked them for rescinding the layoffs. He reported that a positive from this school year is that only 7 seniors didn’t graduate at Lawndale, over 400 graduated at Hawthorne and concluded by stating if he can extend his ROTC program to Leuzinger students, he would love to do that. Temisha Brame, CVSTA secretary, reported that in the last week of school the teachers at Leuzinger High School had a vote of no confidence and CVSTA met with district administration and the principal and it was a good meeting and the leadership promised improvement. She asked to be mindful of spending away from the classroom, with conference funding, etc. She thanked the administration for the rescinding of layoffs and asked to bring back AP teachers. Ms. Brame asked for clarification of item BP, numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10 saying they should have been paid at Extra-Duty rate and not the Conference rate. She also asked not to proceed with litigation with CVSTA. Superintendent Jose Fernandez thanked Ms. Brame for her feedback and said he would look into the pay rate issue and correct it if there was an error. Board member Gloria Ramos asked to be briefed on the meeting administration had with CVSTA.

5. PRESENTATION A) Recognition: Amy Lopez, Hawthorne HS Student, Gates Millennium Scholarship Recipient;

Michelle Medina, Hawthorne HS Student, Dell Scholarship Winner Presenter: Patrice Springer, Teacher

Patrice Springer announced the scholarship recipients and reported that Amy Lopez was not able to attend because she was at USC doing her orientation and Michelle Medina was not present because she couldn’t be reached. The two students were to be presented Certificates of Recognition by the Board.

B) Centinela Valley Center for the Arts Surround Sound System Upgrade Presenter: John Clem, President, TELACU Construction Management

John Clem stated that in a previous meeting, it was mentioned that surround system upgrade could be installed for approximately $3,000-$6,000. He wanted to report that after talking with the company that did the AV & projection installation and know what our surround sound installation would entail, the work is much more substantial than initially thought, and would cost approximately $350,000-400,000 and wanted to give that update because the cost is significantly larger.

C) Overview of the Process for Terminating the Merit System by Voters Presenter: Carly A. Dadson, Legal Counsel, Dannis Woliver Kelley

7. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION A) Public Hearing: Budget of the Centinela Valley Union High School District for

the Year Ending June 30, 2012 Public Hearing Opened at: 5:23pm (posted for 5:00pm) Budget Presentation: Adopted Budget FY 2011-2012

Presentation available online at: (http://www.centinela.k12.ca.us/pdf/reports/2011-12%20Budget%20Presentation_%20June%2029_%202011.pdf)

Presenter: Eric Hall, Consultant, Eric Hall & Associates Eric Hall presented a PowerPoint summarizing the possible implications of the adopted budget and how it will impact CVUHSD.

GA 1

A Question and Answer period followed the presentation: Community member Soni Holms stated Mr. Hall mentioned we get 40% of what base? Eric Hall responded that the way the state budget works is that you have to get 40% of the overall California state budget expenditures so if the budget is $100 billion, you have to get $40 billion of that, all California schools, k-12; she asked what happens with the state lottery money that is supposed to go to schools and he responded that it’s approximately $800,000 revenue out of an over $60 million budget which is fairly irrelevant. Board member Gloria Ramos said to clarify, it would probably be a better question to ask what percent the lottery gives to schools statewide and Mr. Hall responded that it is less than 5% statewide.

The board had the following questions/comments: Board vice president Rocio Pizano asked if schools could no longer afford their payroll and too many schools are taken over by the state, what would happen. Eric Hall responded that what happens is that most districts are doing what Centinela Valley is doing and making the necessary reductions that keeps their district going. Board member Gloria Ramos asked if there are more cuts, which it looks like there will be, what the district’s plan is on dealing with that, so that people who have dedicated their lives here, will come back.

Superintendent Jose Fernandez responded that the district is bringing back more teachers and has brought back all counselors, we have not asked CVSTA for furloughs or pay cuts, which have happened in most surrounding districts. He stated that we’ve done several things, a couple years ago the district was losing money in food services which is now earning revenue, even after losing $4.5 million each year from the state with the Meals for the Needy cut; the district is looking at smaller things, for instance, how many copy machines we have district wide, how many copies are being made and the efficiency, renegotiating contracts, looking at each department and maximizing our returns and efficiency for every dollar we get. He also reminded everyone that CVUHSD is no longer on the list of qualifying districts, as Lawndale, Hawthorne, Inglewood and other surrounding school districts are and we were on just a couple years ago. He stated that our students have longer school days, only 31 average students per class and the lowest counselor to student ratio in the region. Mr. Fernandez also reported that the state owes us money but is not paying us when they are supposed to, we’ve been aggressive on our cash flows and meeting with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s to get the credit rating up will leave us better off than we were a few years ago.

Eric Hall added that Hatha Parrish and Dr. Wolf do a great job with the categorical funds and use it on programs that cannot be funded through the general fund and most districts don’t see that. CVSTA vice president Pedro Martinez asked if it’s possible to have summer school and charge a fee; he knows there are legal issues with it but wanted to bring it up. Superintendent Jose Fernandez responded that other school districts have summer school and run it through their foundation; he stated that CVUHSD provides summer school through Adult Education, the E2020 program, but its limited and made for students who need to make up credits. Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Benjamin Wolf stated that the foundations providing the summer school take a financial risk, like a business; they cooperate with the school district, pay teachers of the district privately, the district only houses the summer school, give back time and accepts the credits. Dr. Wolf said that he spoke with Torrance and they will take our students this year and they did have a conversation of adding a Centinela Valley campus to the program next year so that the students wouldn’t have to travel to Torrance. Monica Fredericks, CSEA member and Torrance Education Foundation Board Member, stated that they offer summer school classes at $250 per semester for credit-driven classes that are housed in Torrance schools and taught by Torrance teachers who are funded through the foundation. Board member Gloria Ramos asked Mr. Fernandez for an update on the Meals for the Needy. Superintendent Fernandez responded that Assembly Bill 1075 would be one-time only and that Centinela Valley took 25% of the entire state program hit on Meals for the Needy losing $4.5 million a year, forever. Board president Hugo Rojas recommended looking into the summer school option through the foundation.

Public Hearing Closed at: 6:15pm

D) Presentation regarding Boundaries of Trustee Areas and Resolution No. 10-11/031 to Rearrange the Boundaries of Trustee Areas Approved Resolution No. 10-11/031 to effectuate rearrangement of trustee area boundaries. A presentation was given by Helen Pollack of the National Demographics Corporation, giving a history of the district’s trustee boundaries, and explaining how and why the district needs to rearrange the boundaries of the Trustee Areas stating that the deviation is 13,000, one area has 3,000 more than another area and none of the areas were equal, and therefore, the trustees were not representing equal groups of people. Superintendent Jose Fernandez stated that the trustee boundaries have been in place for several decades and need to be redone to be equal. Sue Ann Evans, DWK attorney, stated that although the board trustees are voted on at large, it needs to be done for equality of representation and because it changes who can run for election.

9. ITEMS FROM BOARD Board member Gloria Ramos reported that the last two conferences she attended were paid by scholarships by NALEO and its beneficial because she meets and deals with other elected officials and gets support and ultimately learns to be a better board member. Board member Sandra Suarez thanked everyone for coming out. Board clerk Maritza Molina stated that she appreciates everyone who came out, especially the labor union workers because unemployment is very serious right now and anything our district can do to help is great for the community. She thanked John Clem and TELACU for their work. She reported that for the first time, AP Chemistry will be offered at Leuzinger. Board vice president Rocio Pizano thanked everyone for being at the meeting. She reported that she attended all 3 Senior Awards Nights and all graduations and congratulated those students and thanked the principals and staff. She thanked all those who donated to our schools and students. Ms. Pizano piggybacked Ms. Ramos comments on TELACU saying they have always been available to her. She concluded by stating she would like to address CSEA’s concerns. Board president Hugo Rojas stated that he is happy to rescind 41 layoffs and thanked the donors on the agenda. He attended the Senior Awards and appreciated it, there were many scholarships given out. He thanked Eric Hall for his presentation and Ms. Ramos for coming to meet yesterday. Mr. Rojas stated that progress is being made thanks to John Clem and TELACU and regarding the historical issue, his main concern is the safety of the students. He then gave the floor to community member Patrick Holmes who wanted to publicly apologize to Dr. Smith for addressing personnel issues regarding his employment publicly.

10. ITEMS FROM SUPERINTENDENT Superintendent Jose Fernandez stated that he is pleased everyone is present at the meeting and said that no building from the 1930’s is being demolished and there are rumors being spread that are just not true. A healthy debate now is to decide what year to restore the buildings to, the 1930’s or 1950’s. He invited everyone to come out on July 13th to the Centinela Valley Center for the Arts for the Community Update Meeting on the bonds so that they can listen to the architects and get the facts. He stated the budget presentation given tonight and the agenda for the July 13th meeting are on our website. Mr. Fernandez thanked the board for bringing back the teachers and said the meeting with Dr. Smith and CVSTA went well and there is better communication which is good.
