193. MSC. 55 MSC. 56 MSC. 57 DISCUSSION INFORMATION ITEMS


Board/Superintendent Comments:

José Luis Pérez ~ “A lot of good things happened in this meeting and a lot of

good things will happen in the future. When I ask questions, it is not with malice,

it is because I don’t understand the information, it is not out of distrust. I want to

thank the Superintendent and I appreciate the direction we are going and the

way you are leading the District. Thank you very much.”

Carolyn M. Wilson ~ Mrs. Wilson stated that this District has amazing students

as reflected in the recognitions held tonight. It is amazing to see what our

students are accomplishing despite any difficulties they are experiencing. Mrs.

Wilson was very proud to learn tonight that Loren Newton, an Alvord student

has the highest GPA in the county!

Greg Kraft ~ Absent

Ben Johnson ~ Mr. Johnson stated that he attended the funeral services for

Marisa Serrato and he was touched by the poems her sister read at the service.

Mr. Johnson announced that today is a Day of Prayer. Mr. Johnson also

announced that Friday, May 9th is Board Member Action Day which is a special

opportunity for Board Members to join with CSBA to promote the Governance

First legislative agenda. On May 9th governance teams from across the State will

meet with the Assembly and Senate representatives in their local district offices.

CSBA is scheduling these meetings.

Art Kaspereen, Jr. ~ Mr. Kaspereen stated that since he has been on the Board

of Education he feels younger because going out to school sites and interacting

with students rejuvenates you. “Every day I cannot wait to go to work.” Mr.

Kaspereen stated that the talent show at Norte Vista High School was

outstanding and to see the talents our students have is amazing and exciting. Mr.

Kaspereen stated that he wishes sites would coordinate their events so that the

Board can be supportive; however, when events are scheduled on the same day

or night or on Board Meeting nights, it makes it very difficult to be in

attendance.

Dr. Salazar ~ Dr. Salazar participated in a student forum at Norte Vista High

School and a large part of their comments related to the Strategic Plan is that

they felt the committee created for strategic planning was unified and signifies

to them that we plan to implement this plan on a long term basis. Dr. Salazar

enjoyed his dialogue with the students. Dr. Salazar attended the Parent

University Graduation at Terrace Elementary School. Dr. Salazar asked the

Board to mark their calendars for Friday, May 16, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. to

celebrate Day of the Teacher at Stokoe Elementary School. Dr. Salazar is also

working on a District wide meeting for all staff to be held during the summer at

the Riverside Convention Center. There will be more information in the near

future on this event.
