Mei Randle, Asst. Superintendent of Business, gave a brief presentation to
the Board on how the procurement process takes place.
She stated that a turn around time is two weeks for requisitions to be
converted into purchase orders.
Trustee Ciro Calderon inquired if principals relate this information to
teachers. He stated that a direction was given to make sure that supplies
are not bought by staff members. He inquired if a sub account can be
created for coaches.
Trustee Cress questioned why there are so many complaints. He questioned
if reimbursements are handled differently. He personally has had to wait
for a long time for gas reimbursements. He stated that it is a lack of
courtesy and disrespect to employees. He questioned why the district does
not have a gas card.
Ms. Randle answered yes reimbursements goes thru the same process. She
reported that the coaches can gas up at maintenance and operations. She
stated that the district does not have a good credit rating at this time.
She suggested that creating a petty cash might be an option.
Trustee Lorenzo Calderon asked if there is a tracking process. Questioned
if the purchase orders are stamped. We don't know where the problems are
with the school site or district issue.

cards.

is wrong with the vans. He stated that it is not realistic and
inconvenient to rent a van located in El Centro. Asked if it's possible
for Enterprise to drop off the van to the site. He stated that this was an
excellent report and hopes other departments will follow when asked for
reports.
Mr. Nielsen stated that a sheet will be filled out to report any concerns.
Trustee Lorenzo Calderon thanked Ms. Randle and Mr. Nielsen for their
update and presentation.
J. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Discussion:
Superintendent Maria J. Ambriz reported on the following:
Enrollment-She reported that district wide we are at 9290 students. 143 student
growth from last year's calpads numbers. All schools are holding their
enrollment.
LCAP Series-She reported that the second session in our LCAP forum was held on
Wednesday, February 4th at Jefferson School. Two topics were addressed (student
engagement, and parent engagement). This session was well attended (over 120
participants). The 3rd topic (school climate) will be carried over to kick-off
our next session, which will be on Wednesday, February 18th at William Moreno
Jr. High School at 6:30PM. The third session will also include the topic of
basic needs and student achievement.
Common Core Funding-She shared with the Board the balances for each school site
as of 02/12/2015:
BC = $44,174.17 (or 36.5% of allocation)
CC = $69,822.73 (or 32.6% of allocation)
DL = $52,096.39 (or 39.5% of allocation)
JN = $51,324.50 (or 40.0% of allocation)
KG = $24,581.01 (or 20.2% of allocation)
MS = $7,455.34 (or 8.2% of allocation)
RD = $65,042.86 (or 53.6% of allocation)
EC = $47,306.60 (or 31.3% of allocation)
WM = $74,064.02 (or 53.6% of allocation)
AU = $19,519.62 (or 47.1% of allocation)
CO = $301,405.76 (or 51.2% of allocation)
Apple Briefing-She reported that a team went to Cupertino, CA, where the Apple
headquarters is located. The day was filled from start to finish with speakers
addressing our team in regards to using technology in the classroom. The key
message was that although the How technology is used and What technology is used
is important, the driving force behind technology as instructional tools is to
address the WHY technology is used. The best and greatest technology is obsolete
or irrelevant if the reason for using the tool(s) is not clearly defined and
tied to outcomes.
Break-Ins-She reported that a rash of break-ins have occurred at our schools
during the past month. In addressing the security at our schools, we have been
working with our security company to increase the patrol services at our sites.
To do so, our security company has provided additional officers to provide foot
patrols and presence at each of our school sites, especially during the weekend
time periods.
CHS Athletics-She reported that two Calexico High School students (Esteban Ayala
& Daisy Acosta both basketball players) have been chosen as Athletes of the Week
by Univision. The AOW segment is new to Univision, created to honor HS
athletes. Esteban's segment will air tomorrow (Friday, 02/13/2015) at 6:20 PM,
and will be re-run at 11PM. Daisy's segment will air at the same times on the
following Friday (02/20/2015).
Migrant Speech & Debate Competition-She informed and invited all in attendance
to attend the migrant speech & debate competition scheduled for Saturday,
February 21, 2015
J.1. Pool Update
Discussion:
Superintendent Ambriz reported that she was notified today that the State
Department of Recreation is in receipt of our application and that the
application meets the criteria for payments to start being processed.
Today's notification stated that we will be receiving instructions on how
to move forward in receiving the funds from the grant for the pool.
She stated that a pool meeting is scheduled for tomorrow at noon.
Timetable for the pool construction process is as follows:
Clearing Demolition
February 2015 - Advertise for clearing demolition
February 17, 2015 - Pre-bid conference
February 24, 2015 Bid Deadline
March 12, 2015 Award demolition contract, board approval
March 23, 2015 Start Demolition
April 13, 2015 Complete Demolition
Selection of Construction Manager
January 2015 Selection of construction manager
Pool Construction
April 2015 Advertise
April 2015 Pre-bid conference
May 2015 Bid deadline
May 2015 Award contract
June 2015 Start pool construction
June 2016 Complete construction
Trustee Cress inquired how the public is being notified of such said pool
committee. Questioned how the public can give input. He is aware that
leadership has changed, but would like to see the public have access to
input. He stated that it is a terrible first impression.
Superintendent Ambriz stated that it is a committee and minutes are
available for the public.
J.2. Video-taping
Discussion:
She reported that in reviewing our Spectrum billing, we were able to
determine that between July 2013 to June 2014 our district spent
$11,600.00 on the videotaping of the board meeting. With that
in mind, I would ask for the board to give direction as to whether
to contract with Spectrum or request proposals for video-recording
our meetings. The other option would be for us to do this in-house,
which would require purchase of equipment and the personnel to do the
video work, editing and uploading.
Trustee Cress asked for different options and maybe students could assist
with the camera work. He would like to see the translation services as
well, he thinks it is imperative. He questioned if we can make this an
educational experience where we can use students. Maybe looking into
contacting IVC for assistance.
J.3. Translation Services
Discussion:
She reported that for the translation services it would cost CUSD
$1,500.00 for 4 months of service. Following that trend, we estimate that
we can secure professional translation services for approximately $4,500
to $5,000 per year. One of the reasons we discontinued the translation
service is because it was not being used consistently (i.e, translators
were here for meeting(s), and then not utilized and would leave; charge of
one hour worth of work).
K. ASSOCIATION COMMENTS (ACT/CSEA)
Discussion:
James Taylor, ACT President, stated that the common core funding monies are hard
to spend. He questioned how the materials are being delivered. He would like to
see Calexico High School and CHS 9th grade common core monies separated into
two. LCAP committee members are here tonight. He stated that the district has
reached out to create the LCAP and the revised LCAP will be done at the end of
June. LCAP is very important to teachers and there are a lot of teachers willing
to assist.
Ms. Sandra Teran stated that back in March they met with a vision that this plan
would help all students. The consultation from teachers were to be taken into
consideration. The plan was approved the day before it had to be submitted to
the State. Class size reduction, retention and recruitment were completely left
off. They would like to be part of the plan.
Mrs. Carmina Ramirez, teacher, stated that she saw collaboration between
teachers and the district. Challenges were shared, it was respectful and a great
experience. She envisioned her students having more. She believed that we were
going to make it right, but then meetings were cancelled and the proposal looked
very different. She stated that the LCAP can be modified and teachers are eager
to begin meeting again.
Trustee Cress stated that other districts have a timeline and it doesn't appear
that too much has happened. This district stands to make 50-55% from the State
if we assist our EL students. He stated that all stakeholders need to be working
together and he hopes the district is now just starting to modify.
Trustee Ciro Calderon inquired if the LCAP can be amended as long as we meet our
goals.
L. BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS
Discussion:
Trustee Cress:
He stated that there are many positives in the district and negatives as well.
Procedures that we follow are intolerable. He has requested that items be placed
on the agenda and all five board members have equal rights and one item he
requested deals with agenda reform and the agenda should be approved in advance
by three trustees. By approving the agenda the day of the meeting no changes can
be made. He trusts that the next agenda will have agenda reform as requested by
him.
Trustee Lorenzo Calderon:
Stated that he has been visiting sites and staff and is concerned within the
last month about the amount of vandalism at some sites. He questioned what the
district is doing to protect the children. His concern is that we should have
been proactive when the second occurrence happened.
He stated that the ambulance has shown up to sites for numerous situations,
everyone should be trained in CPR. We owe it to the students to be able to
assist in case of emergencies. He wants to see a plan and policies and
procedures.
Campuses are not clean, there are surplus equipment, dead trees. We need to take
pride in our district and it takes a team to meet our goals. He challenged the
team to step out of the box.
He commended Mr. Venegas as far as his presentation.
He promised his community transparency. Need to build trust from the community
to be able to bond to fix our schools.
Trustee Ciro Calderon:
He emphasized that safety is a great concern to him and stated that all must be
vigilant. Urged principals to remember that the school they represent is on the
principal.
Visited sites and he liked what he saw, students were engaged academically and
athletically. Would like to see more playground equipment cleaned and offer more
sports. Students would feel more ownership.
Trustee Zuno:
She stated that last weekend the band performed at the Carrot Festival and that
could have gone up on the website. She would like those activities promoted on
the website. She noticed old news articles are up and maybe highlight spelling
bees, etc. Promote jr. high sports, testing so that the community is informed.
She had a conversation with the Superintendent regarding the agenda and her team
has worked on a professional development template so that the rest of the agenda
is focused on policy and safety. He challenged her fellow board members to
review board policy to bring them up to date. The district is purchasing
electronics and what are we doing to secure the new technology. Staff are going
into schools on weekends and the boards' role is to secure staff and to make
sure a process is followed. Procedures and policies need to be looked at. She
does agree that agenda reform is important.
M. COMMENTS FROM PUBLIC - The Board will take any and all comments from the
public related to an item on the agenda or any other item of District business
that is not on the agenda.
Discussion:
The Board of Education took a recess from 7:30-7:41pm.
Yolanda Cunningham, parent, stated that at Cesar Chavez Elementary School her
daughter was involved in an incident where she was forced to pull her daughter
out of this district. Her daughter suffered an injury and the student has been
involved in other incidents. Her daughter suffered from nightmares, her daughter
is autistic and is very frightened. She wanted this student to be expelled and
expressed that to Principal Nunez. She sought alternatives and the principal was
rude. She met with Dr. Estrada and he stated that his daughter was obtaining a
proper education. She attended an IEP with Mr. McFadden, she met with Mrs.
Ambriz and she stated she would get back to her so that she can meet with the
board members. She requested the incident report to no avail. She wants an
investigation that occurred at Cesar Chavez Elementary and a report on Principal
Nunez.
Diana Harvey, ACT Representative, stated that she has not received any follow up
on the migrant funding and she went to the county to inquire. She stated that
the minutes do not reflect what she said about the pool. She stated that she
wanted on record that re-development money that belongs to this district the
City kept it and put it on a bond. She doesn't want anyone to forget about it.
There is about $1.42 million sitting with the City, it is the district's money.
She is glad that the turn around time for public request is 10 days.
She stated that she had received PE equipment for the first time in years, but
some teachers have not received any, so it is not equitable.
Lydia Mendez, parent, stated that her children attend Cesar Chavez Elementary.
She is concerned with only 120 parents attending the LCAP meeting and what can
the district do to attract more parents. She is concerned with the lack of
textbooks, students have workbooks only. She thinks it is more important to
purchase supplies and textbooks than purchasing vans. She questioned if more
meetings can be held to inform parents on testing assessments, more information
is needed.
Annie Hurych & Julie Anaya, Blanche Charles Teachers, stated that they would
like to invite all to The No One Eats Alone which is a movement which will begin
from 11am-12:45pm on Friday, February 13, 2015.
Laurie Blek, counselor, thanked the Board for replenishing the counseling staff
at CUSD and she is looking forward to having one more counselor at CHS. The
numbers at all the other sites average 394 to one counselor, but at CHS she has
797 to one counselor. CHS does have two at-risk counselors who concentrate on
seniors and juniors. The case load is large and she would like to see two
counselors per grade level for all involved.
Ben Horton, Economic Commissioner, reported that the economic development
commission is tasked to bring economic growth. Last week a task force was formed
to move forward to bring industry to the City of Calexico. Technology will be
looked at, they are hoping to highlight what Calexico offers in regards to the
City and the District. The National Guard Armory is looking to utilize a sports
facility at that site. At SDSU, dormitories will be designed in order to attract
students from all over. Maybe a district staff member can attend some of the
meetings.
Daniel Chairez, citizen, offered his services for video recording and live
streaming. The Board can view his videos online, he also does digital
advertising. He recorded the new incumbents free of charge.
N. DISCUSSION ONLY
N.1. Discussion of Education Code 35120
Discussion:
Trustee Cress stated that this item is barely recognizable of what he
wanted to see. He attended the LCAP meeting and several people
congratulated him since he didn't campaign much. He ran on the slogan that
students must come first. The human resource superintendent contacted him
to sign up for his health benefits and he told him that he wanted the
insurance premium sent to ASB students at CHS. The ASB is fund-raising to
raise funds for programs that make the high school experience memorable
and fun. He then received a legal opinion from district lawyers that he
cannot do that. He is entitled the same benefits as any other trustee and
it is his prerogative if he wants to donate. The opinions offered by our
attorneys can differ, if it is this board's decision then legal has to
defend it in court. He is asking if we mean it when we say if we are
putting students first.
He moved that for the balance of this term Trustee Cress's insurance
premiums be donated to ASB. Trustee Cress wants this item placed at our
next meeting.
Trustee Ciro Calderon questioned if we can move this as an action item.
Clifford Weiler, legal counsel, stated that he cannot address it in open
session and maybe the question can be phrased differently.
N.2. Accounts Payable Prelist: Discussion of Procedures
Discussion:
Mei Randle, Asst. Principal of Business, stated that there was a pre-
approval process in previous years because of the financial crisis. Every
item that is on the prelist has been preapproved by the Board.
Trustee Ciro Calderon stated that he had asked if we can revert back to
the old way. He needs to have control over payments.
Trustee Lorenzo Calderon inquired if we revert will it delay payments. He
doesn't want to delay the process, and stated that district administrators
are the experts. He thinks the plan works as is. He states that it is
important that we run a healthy district, that will give administration
the authority to conduct business. He stated that we need leaders, and we
don't need to tie their hands.
Ms. Randle replied yes, payments are processed on a weekly basis, if we
revert it would not be approved until a board meeting. There is a cap in
place.
Trustee Zuno questioned if we have an approved vendor list and if so the
Board can tie it to the expenditure.
Trustee Ortega questioned if any and all vendors came thru the Board for
approval. He remembers where there was one vendor where magazines were
purchased and the expenditure was not board approved. The Board requested
an explanation and he never received an answer.

and this needs to be clarified. He suggested to repeal the last two
paragraphs with replacements with something more democratic.
Trustee Cress motioned to repeal the last two paragraphs of BB 9124 and
waive the second reading so that it can be approved tonight. He stated
that board policies are passed and have the same authority if three board
members want to change it. Wants to make it more democratic.
Trustee Zuno stated that we need to look at the bigger landscape, and
questioned why we are looking at it. The board members can have access to
look at attorney fees and should be asking the questions. She questioned
the intent and how the motion will affect this District. She has
questioned under what authority do Directors have to contact legal. She
has asked the Superintendent what parameters are set, and hasn't received
an answer as of yet.
Trustee Cress questioned under what authority are the Asst.
Superintendent's acting on. He thinks counsel would agree that his client
is the majority of the Board.
Clifford Weiler stated that as you consider the options, remember that a
lot of what he does is subject to client privilege. There is a problem
with serial meeting if the Board will discuss outside of meetings.
Trustee Ciro Calderon stated that he does not have access to contact
legal, but other district administrators do.
Trustee Lorenzo Calderon stated that maybe Mrs. Ambriz can report back
with the ramifications.

higher than 6% you have to explain why you have the 6%. Other districts
have 50% in reserves. This cap is not a cut and dry issue.

difference. He believes that teachers in negotiations have felt that
districts are hiding monies in the reserves. Reminded certificated staff

rate is that the treasurer pays on reserve funds.
