 Okay. Welcome to our board meeting on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019. Bienvenido a nuestra junta el miércoles 25 de septiembre 2019. Okay. For the pledge of allegiance, I will ask Danny. It's over this way. Well, two things. I'm gonna say Jennifer Shocker is not with us tonight because she had to be out of town for a birthday party or for something birthday party for her daughter. That's why she's not here. And we don't know why Georgia cost is not here. We don't know why. So our translator is here, Virginia, Virginia. Si necesitas que ella le ayuda con su traducciones, se puede pedir los aparatos con ella. If you would like to speak on the agenda, you must complete a speaker card and give it to Eva. There she is. There's Eva. Si quieres hablar en la agenda, hay que pedir una tarjetita y darlo a Eva. So tonight our superintendent because she was selected among superintendents all the way across the country to be in an event. I think it's, is it in Washington, DC? Chicago? No, Chicago. Oh, it's in Chicago. She was asked to be in an event because how well she's doing an event in Chicago. But she is going to be on speaker phone for her superintendent comments. And since she is not present, she sent the following video that highlights our work and our partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank. Okay, so I thought I was going to hear from her, but she just let us listen to that instead. But she was, she could have been on speaker phone if she wants to, but she's listening. Well, I will say hello to everyone. So there you go. I will only speak when necessary, but I miss you all. I will be here throughout the meeting. She's going to be with us the whole meeting on speaker. Okay, so if you need, if you needed her to answer a question, she's with us all night, all evening. Okay, so I'm going to ask for governing board comments now, and so I'm going to start with you, Jennifer Holm. All right, so we celebrated music in the plaza with combined performances of our PVSD students in the Santa Cruz Symphony. And it was, it really was a beautiful event. And it was, it was quite touching to me just to see the community, you know, enjoying the arts on so many different levels and coming together for that. I also attended the Food What benefit and Celebration Dinner and listening to students talk about how the program provided education and empowerment and fostered greater connection to the land and their communities was also very inspiring. It was a pleasure to attend both events. Thank you, Karen. So I just want to briefly acknowledge and thank you, our sponsor staff and elected officials and community members for attending our fundraiser for the Parle Valley Education Foundation at Jalisco's a couple weeks back. It was a success and we were able to raise a little bit over $2,800 in one night. So thank you so much for everyone's support. Good evening. Thanks for being here. I'll keep it brief. I too attended the Parle Valley Education Foundation event. We're hoping to turn out a lot more people next time so that we could make more money to help our students. I did attend the Aptos High's 50th anniversary and it was, thank you, Peggy. It was beautifully and Jennifer Holm was there as well. We both gave small speeches. It was a beautiful day. We had our drum line, our marching band, not a marching band or symphonic band, dancers from a drama production and lots of dignitaries there. So anyway, thank you and congratulations to Aptos High for 50 great years and I'm hopeful that we're shining up the campus and hopeful that we can do even more over the next few years because it is a need of continued repair. And finally, I attended Parle Valley Prevention board meeting and there's a lot of excitement around their new building that is happening and a board member and dear friend of PVPSA endowed the organization with monies and naming rights for the building. And can you tell me what her name is again? Janet Mayu, the Mayu family. Yeah, so we thank them greatly for that donation. Thank you. Good evening everybody. Glad to see everybody here tonight. The touch up on a couple of events, the PVEF organization meeting also passed by with Aurelio. I would like to say thank you, Aurelio, for bringing music to La Placita. And I also just wanted to mention for the last few weeks I've been working with the city of Watsonville, the Watsonville City Council, so former teachers and some local members to have October 9th recognized as Ray DeHart Day. Ray DeHart was a longtime teacher, union worker, so union president. And so on October 8th at the Watsonville City Council meeting, they will pass a resolution honoring October 9th as Ray DeHart Day. So I hope people could come and make it, but we'll be here on Wednesday. So thank you very much. So I just want to say for the foundation event that we had, we had actually students playing flutes, playing clarinets, and I mean we actually had singers, the choir from Aptos, we had musicians from I think Aptos, and we had LC Stema music program that was there too. It was a pretty cool foundation. I also went to the event at the Plaza and oh my gosh, with Jennifer Holmes. So inspiring. I mean it was like so, I mean it made me realize how much I love Watsonville. Really made me realize that. So we had just to add what she said, we had LC Stema there and they played recorders and they played the Marimbas, they also played Marimbas. We had Cesar Chavez band was there, we had Potto Valley band was there, and then we had Esperanza Del Valle dance group that's been here, I don't even know how long, 20, 30 years in Watsonville and they danced with the symphony behind them. It was pretty cool. And then they had a finale with the symphony Potto Valley high school band and LC Stema all together. It was pretty cool. So I also went, oh I just want to say along with that, I not only went to the Plaza, but I actually went to a meeting afterwards, migrant head start. I talked to them and told them, you know I really wanted to go to this event because it was going to be so special and they said well you know we're going to have a lot of important things happening at eight o'clock or afterwards and so I said okay I'll be there. So I went straight from La Plaza to right here, actually that's where we have our meeting, straight to here for the meeting that lasted until 10 and they talked about a lot of important issues that they have to deal with. They're unfortunately have to cut the budget quite a bit because it's for example very difficult for them to pay our benefits for them to pay their benefits and the increases in our benefits. It's hard for them and it's hard for them because they really want to raise the wages of the daycare home. Those who run daycare homes and they're not able to do that because the teachers at the daycare centers they actually get increases because they get them with the teachers but their daycare home teachers don't get that so there's always ways for them to figure that out so we had to figure out how to do that and there's a lot of other important things. They're looked at every three years and they go over their whole program, their finances, everything they do and they had like incredible highlights about how wonderful they're doing in the classrooms and the daycare homes, their curriculum, you know they had lots of wonderful things to say about them and it was more things that happened and I also really quickly went to the, I'm on a committee that's together with the city and the mellow center because we're now running the mellow center and there used to be another people doing that. So and at this meeting we were able to actually tour the mellow center and it was really super great. I said maybe we should have people pay to go you know have a tour of the mellow center because we went all the way up six flights of stairs all the way to the very, very, very top of the mellow center to see all their you know where they put the cameras or whatever I mean all this stuff way up there on the top but we got to see everything the dressing rooms you know the whole mellow center we did the tour of the entire mellow center was pretty cool to do that along with our meeting so that was pretty cool. So there you go there's my report thank you. So we're going to do, so are our high school students here? Huh? Which ones are our high school students? Remember ever you were going to tell me who the high school students are? Huh? Diamond Tech. I'm asking Diamond Tech to come on up here you can come up right up to the microphone if you want and put the microphone down for her there you can put it down. There you go. There you go. All right so good evening President Osmondson Board of Trustees and Superintendent Dr. Michelle Rodriguez thank you for giving me time to take an opportunity to show us to talk about what we do at school. My name is Anna Sanchez and I'm the student council president. Nice to meet you Anna. After a year of construction we finally were able to move to our new classrooms over the summer and it was like really exciting for us because we have everyone at campus right now which contributed to our cultural and we're bonding even more with the freshmen seniors and juniors upon them or with the freshmen this year and as well seniors and juniors are no longer late for lunch because of the transportation issue from campus to campus. The beginning of school went really well as we had several day one sessions where we had an opportunity to do some team building character building cold setting and we ended the day with traditional with our traditional sunrise assembly where we celebrate the sunrise scene and our seniors last year of high school the seniors gave the underclassmen some advice about how to survive their high school like just get their high school um years and the underclassmen gave the seniors worst of encouragement at the end of the year also at the end of the year we have a sunset assembly to celebrate their success so this year we actually created a new system for the student party leadership which was that we selected six executive members and each executive members selected an appointed officer and with that it helped us it helped um we have the more participate we have more participation in student activities so for this year and also we had had a lot of fun so one of the events that we were in charge of was September 16th Independence Day in where we decorated the NPR and also we had a photo booth included and some of the active activities we did was giant jenka connect for and also we did tie dye even though it was a bit messy but they really had a lot of fun we started our first time we take volleyball team um so for we have won two games and lost two games as well but the things like we practiced and the concrete so it was a great disadvantage for them but overall we're really proud of them so last year one of our goals was to raise money to create a new student space to increase our quiet as our students population is increasing we finally achieved our goal just in time for us to finish the project before school started this year um so now this year's goal is to um is to find ways to enough money to buy a van in order to transport our students to special events or to their sports competition since our principal miscalculated she has a track but it only fits seven people in there also um one of the one of our biggest fundraiser this year is a pulga or flea market which is an october 8th an october 12th from 8 to 3 where people from a community buy vendor space for 20 dollars and come out sell have a good time and have a good time eat and enjoy good music um well if you guys are any of you guys are interested to buy a vendor space um contact the number that's on the screen and also come to our flea market which is actually really fun it's an october 12 from 8 to 3 so you guys are officially invited if you guys want to go yeah um so thank you for the opportunity to share what we have been doing at dynamic tech and i look forward to visiting again soon hey are there are there any more high school representatives here no okay thank you diamond tech and i hope they're starting we're gonna have the next board meeting a lot more high school representatives here with us um now we're gonna do the approval of the agenda not so exciting can i have a motion to approve the agenda move approval um trustee home uh can we amend uh to pull 11.18 we have a parent who wishes to address it with limited time can we bring 11.18 further i would like to have a point of order around this because it is on the consent agenda so normally we would pull it off the consent agenda but we'd like to move it up higher on the agenda but there's alicia alicia is not okay but i don't think we should take i don't know if we should it's the very last thing on the agenda and there's um there's so we want to move 11.18 up uh-huh it's on the consent so we need to pull it off the consent and put it above but i'm not sure how to do that no 11.8 it is an item how much do we we can pull it 11.18 architectural services for the silpa can i make a motion to pull 11.18 from the consent agenda first and then process issues because usually you know we do you know we defer the items from 11 points you know on the on that time when we do the consent agenda so christin i see that you're not in your head is that something that we're able to do we're trying to pull an item from the consent agenda and move it up to earlier in the agenda yes so what you would do is you would pull 11.18 make it a deferred consent item which is number 12 and then you would move number 12 up in the agenda that's the that's the process you'd have to take so you'd have to defer it make it number 12 which is our deferred consent items and then place it um in the location that you want to place it number 12 so thank you Dr. Rodriguez but do we have to pull the entire consent agenda up then earlier no we do not okay no but if you have a point of order would be if you want to defer any other items you'd have to do it concurrently so you need to identify if there's any other consent items that you want to defer because you'd have to defer all of them at the same time okay so does are there any other consent agenda items that need to be deferred tonight no all right so then I am in my motion to pull item 11.18 from the consent agenda to a deferred consent item and move item 12 up to before 9.1 I'll second okay yeah no I'm fine okay so so first and second I'll call for the vote all those in favor aye all those opposed so now it's one two three four five zero two okay now we're going to do the approval of agenda again no oh we already did that so we're going to do the approval of the minutes so we're going to do the approval 5.1 of September 11th board meeting minutes I'll make a motion to approve our board meeting minutes I'll second all those in favor aye all those opposed five zero two okay now we're going to have a public hearing boom boom boom and it's about the 6.1 William's sufficiency of textbooks report by Lisa Aguirre assistant superintendent curriculum instruction okay good evening president osmondson board of trustees and dr. Rodriguez code requires us to hold a public hearing each year on the sufficiency of instructional materials during the first through third weeks of school represent representatives from the county office of education visit 19 schools across the district to ensure that students have core textbooks and instructional materials all principles indicate a positive Williams report and state that sufficient materials are exist within the classrooms the Santa Cruz county office will fall up in November with a full report okay doki and it includes you know everything lab science everything includes lab science instructional materials instructional materials yeah and for both elementary secondary whatever yes all right okay is there any um board comments so is there any board comments hi Lisa hi um I have a question about the science curriculums that we've adopted um I was under the impression that there was a movement from the county office of education that there was curriculum specially chosen that nine of our surrounding school districts adopted but pahora valley went its own way and I'm wondering if you could talk about that and why that why did we not adopt the curriculum that the other nine school districts adopted countywide I'm not a hundred percent sure why we didn't choose the same materials I can let you know that currently our middle school um are going through an adoption process so they're piloting two different um core um materials to and then the adoption will take place in the spring the high school we have a um a piloting a pilot happening for biology in the spring with adoption set to happen and then we're going to chemistry the following year and then physics the following year for as far as with the elementary that is pushed out with the um current ELA adoption and then math just happened that we're giving elementary um right now we're giving allowing them to have the space to do the ELA adoption which will um finish up next year before we go into the science adoption so they did math ELA and then they're going to do science as far as the what the other districts um adopted I am not a hundred percent sure okay and this might not be the right venue for that question so maybe I'll take that offline at another time we but I would like to know I think the board deserves to know more about what happened with with that particular issue because that curriculum that was chosen by very a lot of very you know smart well meeting people and do you know what grade levels it was for I don't know but I'd like to know more about it okay it was brought to my attention I'll reach out to uh my colleagues in the other in the county in the other um school districts to find out I yeah I have a comment so under language arts so we've adopted the ELA curriculum or not for elementary just for elementary yes for for this year we're doing benchmark advance it's the first we have nine schools going through the um we adopted and nine nine schools doing the implementation this year the other seven next year a middle school had an ELA adoption two years ago and then I'm guessing that that um the Houghton Mifflin that I'm looking at here that's from 2002 are we still using that under the elementary yeah so the seven schools that are not in the first wave of adoption they still have those materials for this year so next year they will have the the benchmark okay that's great okay thank you just a quick yeah the and the textbooks are in good shape I haven't heard any complaints about anything but we're we were we replaced textbooks yearly so when we find out that um textbooks they're not able to be used by students we do replace them um we find this information out from the school sites so as we find out the information we do replace thank you thank you so knock back the public hearing is over I guess to say with my speaker now we're going to do visitor non-agenda items we have one so far and it's Laura Zucker hi good evening everyone my name is Laura Zucker I'm a speech pathologist for special education at Hyde school um I hear people sometimes say I hear people sometimes have ideas that they'd like to share with their administrators in salpa or something that they think should be changed like you know we need a better ratio of um of adults to children in the classroom but when I say why don't you say something or even why don't you go to the board and say something I will often hear people say I don't want to um I don't want to make trouble I want to keep my head down I'm afraid of retaliation oh my goodness yeah I know but listen retaliation is very hard to prove but the very fact the word is out there is getting really scary for me frankly I'd like to have people say what they want to say and not be afraid of this the problem of people being scared to say something is that things can go really wrong think of a hypothetical we have an ed code and the ed code for instance says that we have to test children different times the year for triennials every three years of course when you transition from preschool to kindergarten you have to formally assess a child or at least do a review of records with parent permission what if it happened that that didn't happen and those of us in kindergarten who work with kindergarten kids started seeing IEPs come in this is hypothetical again where the kids did not been assessed if the only thing we would think is that this teachers must have all been afraid to say hey boss I think this is a violation of ed code and the problem is they would be even scarier in the situation because the teachers would be putting their own credentials and their own licenses at risk by not by being complicit in violating ed code but frankly who would say it it's a meeting it's in black and white who's going to say to your boss oh my gosh I think you're misinterpreting this part of the education code this has to be done it's right here in 56445 that's it and if teachers are that afraid to say I think this might be wrong this is not safe this could hypothetically happen and that'd be so damaging and I'm out of time but I think we need to create community we need we need we need to have people stop saying to their SELPA representatives I mean their SELPA union reps I'm afraid to raise my hand I'm afraid to be a whistleblower I'm going to keep my head down and my mouth shut we need people to stop saying that because we could get in a lot of trouble it's not good for the kids it's not good for the families it's certainly not good for retraction and I mean a fraction attraction and retention of teachers because it's very sad and very demoralizing when we do think that people aren't able to say what they think would be best for the children all right thank you thank you yeah I'm not responding totally to her but I'm just saying I I received about I don't know how many 15 or 20 questions from somebody in SELPA and so I was able to transfer those questions to Heather and to Dr. Rodriguez to ask her to answer all of them so I did receive a lot of questions that I'm going to have answered I just wanted to say that to you thank you employee organizations now the Pato Valley Federation of teachers nilly nice to see you good evening excuse me I'm losing my voice well you just heard one of our members speak and I'll reference that in a bit but what I want to start off with is a thank you to human resources for doing the right thing in our district and thank you to Dr. Rodriguez for being a part of that correction and I spoke the last time I spoke to you I spoke in regards to our temporary status teachers in the early childhood education program excuse me and they today um Dr. Kailene went out and personally met with a small group of teachers at a site and delivered the letter rescinding the one that had been delivered in the week of august 26th so that gave them a sense of well ease ease their stress and it was also really good that Dr. Kailene was able to go out and do that personally I think that that meant a lot and I know that the teachers truly appreciated that they're very thankful and that was a result of stepping back and reflecting on the concerns that were addressed as opposed to oh there's another complaining person there's another complaining unit but HR was able to step back and reflect on those concerns and realize that there was an issue with that letter that had been delivered several weeks ago and were able to make those corrections so you know acknowledging and respecting the professional ability of educators people that are in the classroom that are implementing the programs that's important and we do have committees in place where our educators can be heard but are they really being heard is the question so you know we as educators we are all about our mission statement for our district we are about having our students reach that higher potential having our students become global citizens case in point having teachers who spent time teaching science to the climate science to our high school students and other teachers who part most likely part took when having students walk to the Blassa and be part of that climate strike that there is our educators modeling what it is to be a global citizen a future leader so we have committees in place it is time for our educators that show up to these many committees and give their input to actually be heard so that if they say you know this curriculum really doesn't work and here's why then let's pause let's save and let's go back and look at something else let's let the teachers know we hear you because they're the ones implementing and if we are looking for success the success is also honoring and respecting the intelligence of our teachers so emotional intelligence also on everybody's part but that's all I want to say for tonight but thank you um and thank you Jonah okay CSA California School Employees Association good to see you here nice to see you too good evening President Osmondson Board of Trustees cabinet Dr. Rodriguez my name is Esther Muriel and I'm Chief job steward for CSA chapter 132 I'd like to report that we have had several meetings in regards to the implementation of escape and synergy thank you very much technology for coming through and having a

point of order so so be I'm sorry so before we move on to that item we did ask for 11 point 18 we move prior to that report we did we did just a second we'll have you in just a second so 11 point 18 which is from our consent agenda which says let's see what it says okay the 11 point 18 is architectural services for the self alterations at Aptos High School so yes I know the item was pulled and put on the agenda so I'm available for questions so this item specifically is for Matty Architects at Aptos High School and it's pertaining to building I and I believe a portion of E and the life skills classroom for our SELPA program this was a project that for one reason or another was on hold and so we were proactive once it came to our attention and this is the first step the architect has did preliminary preliminary meeting to get a gather input and is in the process once board approved we will work on finalizing the schematic and program design of the services for SELPA and then in approximately two to three weeks we're going to finalize cost estimating how much it'll cost the district to implement and then within the month after that we'll put together a timeline to advertise for bidding and board approval and that'll come back to the board to award a contract to a contractor to complete the necessary work and also in that process we also do a job walk at the site with potential contractors so that's kind of a summary of the process and we're excited to have this on the agenda this evening to move it forward okay thank you so much Joe so any comments from the board just that I you know I appreciate the work that's happening to make sure our particularly the most vulnerable students are in an environment that supports their learning we don't we don't know why that was on hold exactly right yeah we're still looking um back at that and still trying to confirm and we're unable to to confirm exactly why but when it was brought um we have our SELPA staff leadership and school site leadership and concerned parents and once it was brought to our attention we work hand in hand with parents and our site leadership and our SELPA program and it's here this evening so all right thank you you're welcome so since this is a classroom remodel um for kids with various challenges and disabilities our is this architectural firm going to be like do they know how to build a classroom out that will meet the needs of our students that are very diverse in that classroom yes so they're very very knowledgeable um our director purchasing Richard Ariano and myself and our facility staff did a pre-qualification in an RFP for architectural firms that specialize in K-12 facilities and so this firm is knowledgeable in special ed or SELPA services in classroom configuration and also restroom modifications um so the purpose of bringing Maddy on to assist us in this is we wanted to make sure that it's done correctly um and that we follow all the all the by ed code but also construction code so we're making sure that we uh follow a very thorough process and will this project have to go through DSA that is there may be a portions of this scope that might have to go to DSA and some that may not and so that is something that we'll also figure out within the next month uh as we finalize the scope um in the sequence of the project and is this a project that can be put in the queue for Proposition 51 uh no but it can be where we're looking at is using and I think the board support last board meeting so this actually qualifies for our developer fees so this would be a project that would be funded by developer fees okay thank you you're welcome thank you Chief Business Officer Joe for pushing these measure L projects as fast as you could um it's been a while but thank you for making it happen you're welcome I'm ready to make a motion to approve this item it is it's a consent agenda so it is an action item all those in favor aye all those

one and all so my daughter went to the buddhist church and was there i think she was just in kindergarten and his wife was my daughter's teacher his wife you remember that right now we're going to do a very important report it's 10.2 on pvpsa report on tobacco vaping and associated health impacts by erica padilla chavez pvpsa chief executive officer and in power was in routine that's right go for it thank you very much uh president osmond's and members of the board has stated my name is erica padilla chavez a proud uh wildcat alumni and i can't start this presentation without first acknowledging um mr hashimoto's influence in getting this girl who had no idea was college bound to get into cal and i don't know that you know this mr hashimoto but you were really the first teacher at watsonville high that saw me for me i had no idea there was a university a california system right as the daughter of of immigrants who thought college meant cabrillo not that there's anything wrong with could be a cabrillo i'm a big supporter of a community college but mr hashimoto played a huge influence so hearing his his passion for um and and heritage and passion for sharing the history with us i want to share that part of history of me with you tonight i'm here tonight specifically to introduce um members of our team and members of the empower watsonville group who have been working very arduously to um to advocate for changes in some of our local um regulations regarding the accessibility of some substances that we've all been reading about uh nicotine flavored nicotine specifically but today um two of my stellar um rock stars at pvpsa erica trejo who represents the educational arm of our tobacco work and patrice amata who represents the policy side of our tobacco work they will be coming up and presenting some material that i can tell you every time i hear it i learned something new and it baffles me that this is happening i'm sure you're in for some education tonight and i know our youth are also going to be participating in this presentation take it away gai good evening my name is patrice amata i am a policy analyst for pvpsa and here with me is selica trejo we do have a presentation um we're going to go through the slides very briefly because we do want to have the youth have an opportunity to speak about their experiences and why this is an important issue for them um so very quickly we're going to touch upon uh basic background what are ecics what do they contain how do they work what are some of the social health impacts um what we are seeing in the news our media outlets what are they telling us and lastly um brief about what also the importance of tobacco pre pharmacies and um basic uh practices best practice best practices to adopt to protect our youth great okay all right so i'll start um as patty mentioned i'm a prevention educator um so what are e-cigarettes so an e-cigarette is a uh mechanical device that delivers a liquid nicotine uh in an aerosol form we have this misconception that vaping or the term that's usually used when people are using these e-cigarette devices that's what it is water vapor but in reality it's aerosol that they're um putting into their lungs all right um so what does the device look like and how does it work so there's always a heating element we call it a coil it has an on and off button it comes with a battery that's the battery that allows it to give it power a mouthpiece one of the things that we will be uh seeing a lot more of is these devices that don't have an on and off button now they are powered with suction so students don't really have to like turn something on let it warm up it's something easy that they can use in classroom so e-juice e-liquids they come with a variety of chemicals in them the one that i want to point you guys to is nicotine nicotine we find in traditional tobacco combustible cigarettes right it's been something that we know has changes the development of the adolescent brain adolescent body as well and so it's really important for us to make sure that we limit the access that youth have to nicotine in the high dosages that they are receiving it in e-liquid or e-juice so some of the flavors so e-juice companies vaping companies don't have to reinvent the wheel they are following in the same steps as traditional tobacco and they know that flavors work they know that flavors attract children and it goes into the idea that they're no longer creating these products for former smokers that they're looking at potential customers in fourth fifth and eighth grade students and obviously high school so health impacts so we know that students have been complaining of coughing a shortness of breath wheezing chest pain nausea vomiting diarrhea fatigue fever just to name a couple of the symptoms and just briefly on some of the data some of the things that we've been seeing in the media news outlets some of this information is from the CDC page which is one of the most current information about what is happening with individuals who are suffering from either lung disease or lung disease associated with e-cigarette use or related products so if you see on the PowerPoint and just let me let me just focus specifically on CDC so there's over 530 cases that are reported of individuals that are suffering from lung disease associated with e-cigarette use and other related products there are seven deaths that are reported that number might be a little bit higher but there are seven deaths reported that are associated with e-cigarette use those two of those deaths have been in california when we talk about what are the symptoms or who who's using what the individuals who have passed away as a result of easter youth e-cigarette use stated using or having a history of using the e-cigarette with thc thc and nicotine or nicotine alone so when we're talking about e-cigarette use and e-cigarette use and youth the national tobacco youth survey states that in last year in 2018 3.6 million students used e-cigarettes and vaping devices 4.9 of those students were middle school students and 20.9 of those students were high school students that's one out of 20 middle school students who tried e-cigarettes or vapes in the past 30 days in 2018 so that's a huge number when we're looking specifically here in the california healthy kids survey and pvusd and i'm going to read those numbers just because i want to make sure that i do have that information and it's accurate for you to understand the impact so we're looking specifically here in pvusd 24 percent of the 11th grade students reported use or experimentation with e-cigarette devices or vaping devices in 2018 11 percent of the 11th graders stated using e-cigarettes or other devices on a regular basis when we're talking about youth access we had a meeting with the chief of police a few weeks ago a few of the students in our group stated access is a major factor so when we're looking back at the california healthy kids survey survey they stated that 42 percent of 11th graders reported finding it very easy to access e-cigarettes or a vaping device so going back to the meeting with the chief of police we asked the students if you wanted to obtain an e-cigarette how fast would you be able to obtain an e-cigarette or a vape and they said they stated by the end of the day i would be able to access one so it's very accessible just really briefly going back to the cdc data out of those 530 cases that are reported 16 percent of those cases are under the age of 18 out of the 530 reported cases that are suffering from lung disease as a result of e-cigarette use or vaping devices when we're talking about tobacco and pharmacies why is this an important issue the answer is very simple when we have tobacco products and pharmacies it's sending them a mixed message that tobacco is not as harmful as other substances so when we're talking about individuals who are trying to quit smoking if they go into the pharmacy and they go to the back of the pharmacy to obtain their quit aids and then they have to go back to the beginning of the the front of the store to check out what they're going to see is going right behind the cash registers the tobacco products that are easily easily for them to purchase so that's one of the main reasons it's really sending a perception that tobacco is not harmful and what to know there's two there's total of eight pharmacies two of those pharmacies are currently selling tobacco products so when we're looking specifically at community members who support this issue we surveyed over 175 individuals who stated that they felt that tobacco products should not be sold in pharmacies and 91% of those respondents stated that they would be willing to support the pharmacy if they discontinued the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies so we just want to have the opportunity to have our youth share about their experiences why this is an important issue for them and what they're seeing in their community or in in the schools so we have Sebastian Miguel Saul Marilin Itzel and Carla who will be sharing a few words with us for me I had a like a personal experience with kids smoking a tobacco within the within the bathrooms because during one of my periods I just asked to go to the bathroom and now I wasn't really able to go to the bathroom that's closest because there was kids that were smoking tobacco products in those bathrooms so I then had to go to another bathroom at the risk of also being like to the class Good evening my name is Miguel and I'm here with PVPSA and my major concern for the tobacco products as you can see or is that amount of accessibility I know we've had a meeting with Mr. Daniel over here about the accessibility and he's just told us so many stories and what I say is that we take a step in it now while we still can then rather to wait for it till it gets till the numbers get a lot more bigger so yeah that's basically you know we've come here to ask for your support with this and this movement this is one of the first steps to something bigger so thank you for your time Good evening my name is Saul and a lot of the things that I've noticed with like you know e-cigarettes and stuff like that is that I do see it a lot in schools you know in the bathrooms like he said also you know sometimes just around campus where there's like not really that much supervision and I do see it as an issue because it's not you know there's also that the addiction that can you know target like that can impact you know students and kids you know in my grade too like they are using these products and I'm not like I'm not really sure if they're you know becoming addicted to any of these substances um and yeah I've just been seeing yeah it's a lot of that the use you know that it's it's increasing with like even with people that I know okay um first of all thank you for your time um I'm Marilyn and um my sister my little sister she's in sixth grade and she comes home telling us that kids in her the back of the bus are vaping are vaping and I'm like how do they even get their hands on that kind of stuff they're so young when I was in sixth grade like that was never like talked about or mentioned and like they'll they'll even tell me that they're smoking in the back of the class and the teacher is not even like doing anything about it or like they just won't notice um here are some examples of what they look like we we we brought these to the farmers market so we can kind of educate the parents on what they kind of look like because they look like objects you would like normally have like some look like usb some look like pens you just write with so we like to we would like to educate people more about what they look like that looks like a little iPod and they just look like regular object objects so I think that everyone oh yeah we're passing them they're coming around but yeah I think it's a really big issue and I really don't want my sister to be around that because I care a lot for her and you know they can get very dangerous so thank you um hi my name is Vilsae um I've also had personal experiences um with vaping in classrooms um just recently actually um I heard these two guys like they're like oh pass the pen and the teacher like they kind of they kind of saw that um they were passing the pen but they thought it was just a pen because it looks just like pen and just as Marilyn I also have a little brother in middle school a sixth grader and this is most concerning for me because I wouldn't want my little brother doing that and I wouldn't like my little brother to like own this product so I kind of just also want to put more like awareness for the teachers because they they're not aware of like how these things look like they really look like any other big objects so yeah thank you hi my name is Carla and uh I would want for the tobacco the flavor tobacco to be banned because I have this friend that um goes to drugs or like vaping when she has problems and I told her like oh like you should stop and she said she would but every time she would just do it and I think she's addicted or something but she's like saying she's not and I wouldn't want her to do like more hardcore drugs and so when we're talking about best practices currently what we're doing at PPS is that we're trying to provide education and bring awareness not only to the students but also to the community throughout dupe program are uh dupe staff prevention tobacco specialist go out to the schools at various school sites from fourth grade 12th grade and they provide education on tobacco vaping other substances and also um life life skills and decision making so why is that important is because when a student is presenting and presented with a situation where they have to decide whether they're gonna fall into their peer pressure or say no that's why it's important for that education in addition to that we also have other local jurisdictions who've already passed local laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products in their cities the city of Santa Cruz the city of capitol and the kind of Santa Cruz which are the closest to us have already uh adopted a ban that will ban that will take effect in January 1st of 2020 banning off liver tobacco products including menthol in their jurisdictions additionally there's over 32 counties or communities that have already adopted similar similar local policies and watsumal we're trying to do the same thing here we're trying to follow the same direction um at the state level there's um SB 39 which is a legislation passed by Governor Governor Nussan who stated that um that what this legislation will do is that it will establish restrictions that will make it harder for individuals to for anybody to buy tobacco products online or vml so that will be restricted because we're talking about access that's very important um additionally the Trump administration has also um uh directed the FDA to develop a policy that will also do the similar thing at a federal level ban any tobacco liver tobacco products that are not any other than tobacco so there is already progress we're all moving towards a direction that will allow us to not only have the education piece but also establish laws and policies that will help us protect our youth but we still need to move forward and it all starts at a local level um which is a reason why we're here this evening um asking and seeking for your support um I want to thank the board members that we were able to meet with or um had a conversation about our efforts um I also want to thank um board of trustee Mario Roscoe that who has helped us in this process and who has also helped us draft this resolution that we uh that will be presented later this evening thank you and questions and just to clarify it's going to be a ban on flavored tobacco products which include um baby products that fall under the bat umbrella even though they're not the traditional um you know like something on fire and you inhale the smoke so the ban on flavored tobacco products um and we're going to be having a conference October 19th where our youth here are going to be presenting and educating their peers about the dangers of nicotine exposure at a very young age and traditional tobacco as well so I invite everybody to attend it's going to be at the metal center any question um I was astounded when you passed us around those little things that they use like a boy you're kidding me that's got to be I mean number one don't they have to cost something to be able to buy one of those and I mean where how do they buy them I mean because they look pretty fancy little very fancy little looking things I'm like really astounded well and and well I have so many questions about this I mean how do they know which flavor that they're getting with those little fancy objects I mean how do they pick the flavors I mean I'm just whoa I'm just astounded you know I didn't I guess I didn't know practically anything I mean I've heard all about it but I like whoa he listened to you day and seeing them and like um so I mean yeah so I'd like to know all about you know how people the cost of them and why it's so easy for them to get them you know how can they go and just get them so easily you know young people um how they you know they get how they pay for the cost of them or whatever I mean and I mean how do really young people get a hold of those things and how do they pick I mean I just don't know so much and I don't know about um you know what I'm saying and and I read the resolution and it talked about restrictions it didn't talk about ban I think I read the resolution it said restricting it didn't say ban and I'm totally supportive of a ban not a restriction a ban not a restriction yeah because I think it said restriction I'm pretty sure it said that not a ban so that's the first part yeah so I mean so just from talking to our youth one of the things that we've heard is that the easiest way to get fake pens or e-cigarettes or even e-juice would be uh online it's extremely easy really there's no verification that somebody is over the age of 18 because remember we're one of the few states that requires somebody to be over the age of 21 but they can get online pretty easily and they also know um the adults who are selling this um you know on the in the black market who are you know going out and offering them to kids um because of the amount of nicotine because of the amount of clothes that somebody can get from an e-cigarette product um there is not costing as much because you know it's not like a limited amount of like a one pack of cigarettes $20 um so it's really accessible to children I totally understand what you're saying online yeah because whatever there's no restrictions online you can just do whatever um so that's basically they're just ordering them online young people I mean and young young people can order them online it doesn't matter I mean you could I mean and if they can't get it for themselves somebody will get that for them yeah somebody can just order them for them too yeah absolutely oh god and let me just say something because the policy is so important to us the the department of justice recently gave the Watsonville police departments some funding so that they can begin to do some um essentially monitoring of our current retailers and there was a data that patty put up there that demonstrated how many of our retailers actually got caught selling to minors and we have a high number of them so that speaks to one education the importance of enforcement but the step you're going to be considering tonight is really the elimination of and what we'll be asking the city council is the elimination of flavored nicotine in Watsonville right flavors because we know that that is the vehicle by which kids are getting hooked right if you can drink or if you can vapor chata right juice or vape some chocolate at chocolate you know it tastes good right and then it hooks you so we know that that is definitely the hook but I do want to let you know that we are working in partnership with the county health department the Watsonville police department there's so many agencies that are involved in this effort and we couldn't do it without them so having your symbolic support tonight could help us communicate that to the city council because ultimately you are the body that's responsible for all of our many of our young people that come to school here at PVUSD I just want to ask you so could somebody else or anybody I mean so there's well you probably would know what pharmacies for example in Watsonville are actually providing those vaping we right so currently we have a pharmacist in the city of Watsonville two of the pharmacies are currently selling tobacco products in Watsonville I'm assuming you want to know the names walking which are Walgreens and righted who are selling tobacco products the vaping ones one it honestly it's it can be any of the if they have the license to sell tobacco then they have the ability to sell vaping devices in their source so you're asking specifically which of the tobacco stores were caught vaping products I mean we have that data I don't know if it's something that you'd be comfortable disclosing but if you have repeat offenders on that list yeah so I well I did read something about it I don't know if it was the Watsonville newsletter that they put out for something but they did put out a whole police report and they did put out places that were caught doing stuff like that you know that they went out and they I think they can remember if they put the name to the places but they did talk about places that they went out and found out they were they put that in there so there's since January of this year there's over 23 businesses who have been caught selling tobacco products to minors 32 times so that means that so that means that there's some businesses who have sold more than one to minors so let me ask you this what can we do for you once what can we do to punish them is there something that we're going to do to punish them the Watson police department is currently working on revising the existing tobacco retailers licensing ordinance and they're going to be determining what that informants informants enforcement piece will look like okay yeah because I think they should be punished to be honest with you I mean if they've been doing it that many times they should be punished I mean they either have to pay a ton of money or do something I'm ever they're required to do something they need to be punished I don't even know if they need to be put in jail sometimes I don't know but that's not good okay so let's get let thank you so much for the presentation let's vote on the resolution shall we so I just want to comment on this item before we move on to the next item for the resolution I have several nieces and nephews in pv usd and when I was going over some of the information I did sit down with a couple of them and they say you know what auntie is getting to the point where we're the ones that feel like an outcast more the ones that can't walk into the restroom because we are afraid that we're going to be pure pressured into using a vaping device so you know just hearing those comments and so close to home just sort of speaks to how big of a problem really is for our students across the district so so thank you for bringing this item to our attention I really enjoyed the meeting I think I learned so much in the half an hour that I spent with all of you but I think you know the role of the board of trustees is really to represent the interest of our children and I don't think accessing vaping devices in our school grounds is in their best interest so thank you so much for your advocacy I'll vote for the resolution but I'm not very happy with it because it's not strong enough so I mean I'm going to vote for it but not I am not happy with it I'm it's not nearly strong enough okay all those in favor of the resolution that's not very strong so you have a motion point of order again there is a report associated with the resolution and that's a completely separate item from what we're currently discussing so all those in favor is you have you have a motion in a second so we're going to be doing the report and reading the resolution and hopefully answering any concerns that you may have with that Karen because I think when we get to the dare force I think we have as PVUSD really taken a strong stance and if approved by the board tonight I will recommend to Michelle and admin to send this over to the city of Watsonville showing our strong support for banning um flavored tobacco um in the city of Watsonville so with that item 10.1 um so I will be doing the report tonight and then we will be reading the resolution and I did ask PVPPSA staff uh or even the students present to join me in reading sections of that resolution um just so that the board knows what we are approving tonight um so the Parle Valley Unified School District in coordination with the Parle Valley Prevention and Student Assistance and other partnering public agencies has created a resolution to discourage tobacco use by PVUSD students we have had the long-standing participation in statewide tobacco use prevention education to pay efforts for our secondary and primary students and are now engaged in these efforts because there is a clear understanding of the educational implications that tobacco and substance use may have in student learning and so with that if I can ask staff to come to the podium from PVPSA um whereas the Parle Valley Unified School District PVUSD works with Parle Valley Prevention and Student Assistance Inc and other partnering public agencies to discourage tobacco use by PVUSD students throughout long-standing participation in a statewide tobacco use prevention education to pay efforts for our secondary and primary students and whereas PVUSD and PVPSA and other community partners are engaged in these efforts because there is a clear understanding of education implications that tobacco and substance use may have a student may have a student learning and whereas a tobacco industry has now affected young people including elementary school age children and teenagers and vulnerable communities with tobacco products and masks the harsh taste of tobacco with flavors highly appealing to youth and with advertising designated to attract young people and whereas it is believed that tobacco companies and retailers profit from the research proven by that the earlier a person starts to use tobacco the harder it will become for them to quit and whereas smoking and vaping rates are higher among minorities of lower social economic status which is a result of the tobacco industry using aggressive marketing and vaping and electronic tobacco products and made it this far already don't stop and whereas tobacco retailers cluster in neighborhoods and in high percentage of low income residents or residents of color and whereas pharmacies where individuals seek medication to care for ailments and illnesses have been found to contribute to the illegal sale of tobacco products to minors between 2012 and 2017 us chain pharmacies failed 7.7 percent of food and drug administration inspections of tobacco sales to minors and whereas 23 rail retailers over the last nine months in the city of washington have been found to sell products to minors under the age of 21 years of age totaling 32 times and whereas according to pv usd's recent california healthy kids survey results 24 percent of the 11th grade students reported of use or the experimentation with electronic cigarettes or other vaping devices 11 percent of 11th grade students use electronics cigarettes or other vaping devices devices regularly 6 percent admitted to the current use of electronic cigarettes at school 42 percent of 11th graders reported finding it very easy to access e-cigarettes of a vaping device and whereas in the state of california there are 27 jurisdictions with tobacco-free pharmacy laws and 221 jurisdictions across the nation including the states of massachusetts new york and minnesota and whereas 23 jurisdictions in the state of california including the city of santa cruz city of capitol and the county of santa cruz have enacted laws prohibiting sales of all-flavored tobacco products including menthol and therefore that the peharo valley unified school district supports prohibiting the sale of tobacco near child sensitive areas and therefore the peharo valley unified school district in collaboration with the pvpsa will provide staff training on how to recognize vaping devices and enforce additional supervision in in an effort to deter the use of vaping devices during school hours therefore the peharo valley unified school district will investigate the use of tools such as sensors to deter the use of vaping devices on school grounds therefore the peharo valley unified school district provide proactive education to students for them to understand the dangers engaging in vaping and the disciplinary consequences of doing so on school grounds therefore the peharo valley unified school district will work with pvpsa multiple police department and other partners on community outreach efforts around the dangers of vaping and tobacco use therefore be resolved that the peharo valley unified school district board of trustees supports as a citywide tobacco retail licensing ordinance to restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products and tobacco products and pharmacies in the city of watsonville and so with that we're asking for the board's support tonight in passing this resolution i'll make a motion to support the resolution my nurse second all those in favor all those opposed five zero two thank you okay thank you so much i hope you have a stronger one um so now we're gonna just approve the 10.2 the williams efficiency of textbooks after we had our public hearing so lisa gittery can come up here but we're probably just gonna vote i guess you can just come up here again just in case okay thank you thank you so much for coming thank you so um so she's up here um and um if there is not any discussion from the board is there any discussion i would think so okay so can i have a motion a little bit terrible on second all those in favor i all those opposed five zero two thank you thank you very much okay we're gonna do 10.3 which is a resolution again but it's a different kind of resolution for the week of the school administrator october 13 to 19 this year and it will be presented by dr shona keeling it's an honor and privilege to present resolution number 19-20-12 honoring school administrators who are critical to student achievement um whereas school administrators are passionate lifelong learners who believe in the value of quality public education whereas providing quality service for student success is paramount for the administrative profession whereas most school administrators began their careers as teachers the average administrator served in a public education for more than a decade more most california superintendents have served in education for more than 20 years such experience is beneficial in their work to effectively lead public education and improve student achievement whereas public schools across the nation public schools employ fewer managers and supervisions compared to most public and private sector industries whereas school leaders depend on a network of support from school communities to promote ongoing student achievement and school success whereas research shows great schools are led by great principals great districts are led by great superintendents the site leaders are supported by extensive administrative networks throughout the state and whereas the future of california's public education system depends upon the quality of its leadership and now therefore be it resolved by the governing board of the paharo valley unified school district that all school leaders in the paharo valley unified school district be commended for the contributions they make to successful student achievement thank you so much okay comments from the board i wouldn't think so you can just if anybody wanted to just say thank you but that's okay thank you administrators i'll say something okay a lot of them are sitting here in this room tonight and um you're sort of the um you're the unsung heroes really i think in education teachers get um a lot of exposure and credit for what they do and it's you guys that have gone up through the ranks that lead your schools that a half then you're like a middle manager right because you have a lot of direct reports way too many you work incredibly
