our new Superintendent. Mr. Johnson enjoyed participating in Read Across
America and stated it was a joy to see the students light up.

should be held at other sites across the District as well. Mr. Kaspereen stated that
he hopes he does not need to restate this same concern again next year. Mr.
Kaspereen stated that it was a pleasure to read to students during Read Across
America and he enjoyed hearing the kindergarten kids laugh.
Dr. Salazar ~ Dr. Salazar stated that with students being at the core of what we
are and should be doing, it was a pleasure to visit with La Sierra High School
students recently and he was refreshed by his dialogue with them on what they
believe a quality teacher is. Dr. Salazar will be working with Leigh Hawkinson
to define teacher quality. Dr. Salazar is also working with Lanelle Gordon, from
Riverside County Office of Education, on developing teacher and administrator
programs. Dr. Salazar echoed all the positive comments related to negotiations
and stated that he is impressed with Leigh Hawkinson’s willingness to approach
negotiations in a different manner and being open to suggestions. Dr. Salazar
stated that we still have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but he believes we are in
a positive era. Dr. Salazar congratulated all of those that received promotions
